Why did the Republican establishment people want Donald Trump to fail?
I think the answer's probably obvious.
He probably touched on it the other night when he spoke, and he said that uh, you know what, there's this whole there is this establishment.
I never realized until this election cycle, and I I actually should apologize for it, how deeply entrenched this establishment is.
I've known about the incestuous relationship between members of Congress and the Senate and the media, etc.
etc.
etc.
But I always felt and thought and believed that there were people that, and there are that always cared and wanted to do the right thing by the country.
You know, these very Republicans that are so weak and timid and spineless when it comes to taking on or stopping the Obama agenda, they don't want to get blamed for a government shutdown.
Oh no, it'll hurt our chances.
So they back down.
So they have symbolic votes on health care that mean nothing.
They do nothing to use the power of the purse to actually put some teeth and some real work behind what it is they're voting for.
You know, they make promises every election cycle, they back down.
There's no inspiring agenda, hasn't been forever.
We keep hearing it's coming out.
Paul Ryan supposedly releasing it today.
What I saw didn't really inspire me that much.
And apparently now Paul Ryan is gonna go back on Face the Nation this Sunday and regurgitate the line that I think Trump's comments about the judge were racist.
That's why I disavowed them to completely.
Well, I you know, I'm trying to go back and do some research here because we have Obama on tape in his own book saying white folks greed runs a world in need.
I I wonder if somebody will ask Paul Ryan if he ever spoke out about that.
Did he think that's racist?
Did he think hanging out in the church of GD America and America's chickens have come home to roost and black liberation theology, of which Obama said he was inspired, and of course he talked about his grandmother, the typical white person that she is.
The point I was making was not that my grandmother uh harbors uh any racial animosity.
She doesn't.
She doesn't.
But she is a uh typical white person.
Typical if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know.
You know, there's a reaction that's been bred in the world.
Typical uh white people alike that that don't go away.
Well, all white people are alike.
Typical white person.
White folks greed runs a world in need.
He said that also on his audio tape.
He went and he hung out in the church of GD America, inspired by black liberation theology.
I I don't remember, I don't recall Paul Ryan or any Republican that is now so critical of Donald Trump.
I don't recall any of these people ever going after in the same tone, cadence, you know, against against Barack Obama.
Or go even going after they didn't want to touch the whole Bill Air's Bernadine Dorn thing.
I had to go out there on a limb all by myself for the most part for a long time.
There were others that that did also join in, but it was few and far between.
There certainly weren't elected officials.
You know, I wonder if you ever criticized Joe Biden's Indian accent comment.
You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
Am I not much of this?
It's like they want Trump to lose.
I'm getting to the point my patience here is running very, very thin.
I don't have any tolerance for this anymore.
You know, the frustration is all right, he could have backed anybody he wanted for this nomination.
There were 17 people.
And so here it is.
Donald Trump sets a record, a massive record by millions of votes in terms of a Republican Primary, the will of the people.
And one of the reasons I would argue the people want an outsider is because well, people in Congress are pathetically weak and timid and did nothing to stop the Obama agenda.
And as a result, the country has suffered and is suffering tremendously.
You know, median income is down.
One in five American households have nobody working.
One in six American men are incarcerated or out of work.
Student loan debt has gone up nearly 70%, 1.3 trillion dollars in the Obama years.
The labor force participation rate is now at a 40-year low because there are no they don't get in, they don't get included in the unemployment figures, by the way.
You want to talk about shadow unemployment.
That's gone up dramatically in the Obama years, just like 13 million more Americans on food stamps and 10 million more Americans in poverty, and just like millions more out of the labor force.
There are 14 million more Americans out of the workforce, no, nearly 15 million since he came into office.
And nobody seems, but it doesn't get reflected.
Gross domestic product.
He's the first president to produce an annual GDP that did not produce an annual GDP of 3% or better.
It's unbelievable.
And by the way, Obama recorded Hillary's endorsement today.
It almost sounds to me like a hostage video.
Maybe you're maybe you'll hear it differently than I hear it.
Because he doesn't sound too enthusiastic.
Listen.
I want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on making history as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States.
Look, I know how hard this job can be.
That's why I know Hillary will be so good at it.
In fact, I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.
She's got the courage, the compassion, and the heart to get the job done.
And I say that as somebody who had to debate her more than 20 times.
Even after our own hard fought campaign, in a testament to her character, she agreed to serve our country as Secretary of State.
And from the decision we made in the situation room to get bin Laden to our pursuit of diplomacy and capitals around the world.
I have seen her judgment.
I've seen her toughness.
I've seen her commitment to our values up close.
I've seen her determination to give every American a fair shot at opportunity, no matter how tough the fight was.
That's what has always driven her.
And it still does.
So I want those of you who've been with me from the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I'm with her.
I am fired up, and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign.
I am fired up.
I can't wait to get out and campaign.
Yes, is that what you want me to say?
Okay.
Did I read it okay?
Good, done.
Let's get rid of that one.
And here's a little uh known fact.
Nobody's telling you the truth.
Hillary Clinton did not reach the magic number of two thousand three hundred and eighty-three delegates to win the nomination.
As of yesterday, she was about a hundred and ninety-eight short.
The only reason they're saying she's the presumptive nominee is because the Democrats have a rigged system because of the superdelegates.
Five hundred and seventy-one for her and forty-eight for Bernie Sanders.
Now, if I'm Bernie Sanders, I feel like I got ripped off.
That the system is rigged, that it's phony.
It's unbelievable.
Now, Sanders met with Obama today, and this was before the hostage video was released, and he said and declared that he's still in the race, and he will be in the primary in DC next Tuesday.
And he said he wants to see if the final vote count in California shows a tighter result.
Here's some facts that we do know is that Hillary Clinton has received 1.5 million fewer votes in 2016 than in 2008.
By the way, Donald Trump shattered by nearly a million and a half, if not more, uh, when the final numbers come in.
He has a million and a half more Republican primary voters than any other Republican candidate in history.
Now Hillary had 1.5 million fewer votes than she had in 2008.
Democrats overall are down seven million votes from 2008, and Republicans have shattered records, even though this, you know, how many contests ago did everyone else get out of the race?
And you can't dismiss that Bernie Sanders what won twenty-two states or so.
It's a pretty incredible thing.
Even Elizabeth Warren is speaking out against it.
Looks like Elizabeth is emerging.
We're going to have two socialists as the top of the ticket.
Two it's going to be Hillary and Elizabeth.
Or as Trump calls her, Pocahontas.
Because she did claim Indian heritage, which apparently was not true, so she got, I guess, special treatment at Harvard.
That's how they that's how they identified her.
Well, I do have one one one ninety thing of this particular.
Everybody's mocking her because it wasn't true.
So we're going to watch very closely.
By the way, do you hear the DNC platform executive saying nobody should have a gun?
Kind of following on the heels of Hillary Clinton's statement about she wouldn't confirm that the second amendment entitles people, the right of the people to keep him bare arms.
I think that's going to be a pretty big issue.
How about being pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and saying that you're going to pick conservative justices?
Is that enough to get you to vote for Trump over Hillary?
What about building the wall?
Is that enough?
What about adding repealing Obamacare?
Is that enough?
What about adding energy independence?
Would that help your vote?
What about VA and rebuilding our veterans administration so these guys get the promises we made them?
Or rebuilding our America's military, which Trump has promised to do, and Hillary no doubt with gut.
You know, the president bragging about Hillary, I'd notice he didn't mention that Hillary apparently was involved from the beginning with this Iranian deal.
He didn't mention what happened in Benghazi in the disaster of Libya.
He didn't mention that she helped pave the way for ISIS and a literal disintegration of everything in the Middle East.
You know, on these emails, we now found out the AP has reported that Hillary Clinton's emails may have very well compromised the names of CIA operatives.
Well, I thought this was a big deal for Democrats when the operative's name, who turned out not to be an operative, was Valerie Plain.
Then it was a big deal.
Now it means nothing.
And the FBI is asking to make new secret filings in the Clinton email case in a request which came as part of the Freedom of Information Act.
The Justice Department offered for the FBI to provide, quote, additional details about how it conducted a search of records as part of the open records case and determined that there were no records responsive.
Well, we should find out more what that means over time.
By the way, Hillary did admit, you know, she keeps making little mistakes.
That was just an oversight.
If I had it to do over again, I never would have set up the private server.
Now she admits in one or two cases that, you know, it might have slipped through the cracks on the whole Clinton Foundation disclosure.
Did you know that this Laureate College got 55?
I didn't know this the other day when I said it.
Million dollars that the State Department funded.
Well, remember, Bill Clinton was the chancellor of Laureate University, which by the way has been, you know, debunked as this phony money scheme.
I have the Rio lawmaker that did the investigation, says it was corrupt.
We have students quoted as saying they had no business even ever being accepted.
We have other people that have called this program now and complain they've been ripped off.
Bill Clinton was the chancellor.
He got 16.5 million dollars between 2010 and 2014 to be the chancellor of Laureate International Universities.
Apparently a lot of people in poor Latin American countries feel that they were taken advantage of by Laureate University while he worked as their pitchman.
You know, the State Department funnel 55 million dollars to Laureette when she was Secretary of State.
Well, that sounds like a quid pro quo.
That sounds like a kickback scam any way you want to read it.
Slick Willie.
I'll get into more details about that as we continue on today.
Got so much coming up in the course of the program.
Sanders saying that he's sticking in.
Obama trying to talk him into getting out.
That's not working out too well.
And Hillary still didn't get the number of pledged delegates that she needed from the voters in the Democratic Party.
And she was facing one person.
A seventy-four-year-old angry, bitter, disheveled, curmudgeon socialist from Vermont.
And she couldn't get the number of delegates herself, which is unbelievable.
Anyway, Pat Buchanan is going to weigh in on the circular firing squad of the growing now within the Republican Party, apparently led by Paul Ryan.
Maybe it's time to just start a new and get a new speaker.
I don't know.
Maybe it's time to get new congressmen if they're not going to support who the people choose for their party.
Maybe we can go there.
Also, we're going to get into uh the hostage video of Obama with Kellyanne Conway and Chris Hahn and what is Bernie Sanders.
If I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter, I'm saying no way am I ever voting for Hillary Clinton.
Not in a million years am I voting for Hillary Clinton.
Because I got ripped off.
The system's rigged, and they stole the nomination, and the fix was in from the get-go.
I wouldn't vote for her.
They'll either stay home or they can go vote for Trump.
So we'll get to that today.
And you're going to meet the father.
Remember the kid I've been showing the video all week, this poor kid in San Jose that was chased by a mob, got tackled on the grass by one of the mob members.
Anyway, his father is going to join us.
If I was him, I'd sue the city of San Jose for the dopey mayor.
The woman that got hit with the egg in the face, she's now calling for the mayor of San Jose to resign.

So real clear politics.
I can't figure out why they did the math the way they did it.
But they add the final vote totals.
Now, as I was just mentioning, if you look at Hillary Clinton, she got a million and a half fewer votes in 2016 than in 2008, and Democrats are down seven million votes from 2008.
A dramatic decline inthusiasm.
Now, according to real clear politics, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, they got 27.7 million votes.
Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich beat them by 700,000.
28.4 million and 27.7 million.
Now here's what I'm trying to figure out.
Why didn't real clear politics include the votes of Ben Carson and Jeb Bush and Governor Perry and Governor Chris Christie and you know Ben Carson alone got 800,000 votes, which brings the GOP margin of victory to 1.5 million votes.
If the a if the actual election results, you know, were these totals, Donald Trump would defeat Hillary.
So I'm just trying to figure out where the media bias is coming from.
Um, I want to just go back to something that I'm I'm kind of proud of the fact because many of you heard about Laureette University because of this program.
And uh there were other people like Ross Storey and and some others that that picked up on it.
I think the American thinker before anybody else, but you got to give kudos.
There are some that actually have some integrity out there.
Stephen Hayward, he blogs for Power Line, and uh especially the liberal Democratic law professor, Jonathan Turley, uh Georgetown University law professor, I've mentioned him before.
I praised him for his intellectual independence and his fearlessness, you know, to speak truth to power.
And anyway, I mentioned Hayward because over at Powerline uh blog.com, he links to a piece that was written by Professor Turley that was entitled The Clinton University Problem.
Laureate Education Lawsuits presents a problem for the Clintons.
Now I want to quote the first paragraph of Turley's piece.
He says, while largely ignored by the media, well, not by us here, the Clintons have their own university scandal.
Donald Trump has been rightfully criticized and sued over his defunct Trump University.
I don't know why when 98% of the students gave excellent grades to the Trump universities.
That wasn't really university, it was like a course on mostly it was courses on things like, you know, how to deal in real estate, et cetera.
But anyway, he goes on to say there is ample support in the case of Trump.
However, the national media has been accused of again sidestepping a scandal involving the Clintons that involves the same type of fraud allegations.
The scandal involves the dubious Laureate Education for profit college and entails many of the common elements with other Clinton scandals.
Huge sums of money given to the Clintons and questions of conflict of interest with Hillary Clinton during her tenure as Secretary of State.
Now, these there are distinctions to draw between the two stories, but the virtual radio silence on the Clinton Laureate story is surprising.
Now, the only thing I would disagree with Jonathan Turley on, it's not surprising to me.
I doubt it's surprising to most of you.
You know, the fact that the New York Times does a hit piece on Donald Trump about women and the women all come to his defense and say that they were purposely taken out of context and they ignore Kathleen Willie and Dolly Kyle and Juanita Broderick and Paula Jones.
That's not a surprise.
So it's not a surprise to me.
The rest of what he says, I think needs to be paid attention to.
We have now had a number of students that feel they were defrauded by this Laureate University.
For example, you know, for background, Laureate Education has been sued over programs like at Walden University Online, and many have alleged a scam designed to bilk students of tens of thousands of dollars for degrees, and students say they were repeatedly delayed and given added costs as they tried to secure their degrees, leaving them deeply in debt.
And then Turley writes, the respected Inside Higher Education reported that Laureate Education paid Bill Clinton an obscene 16.5 million dollars between 2010 and 2014 to serve as the honorary chancellor for Laureate International Universities, while Bill Bill Clinton worked as the group's pitch man.
Well, the State Department, under his wife, Hillary Clinton, funneled $55 million to the college.
Well, that would seem like a major story.
But no mainstream media outlet has reported it, while hundreds of thousands of or hundreds of stories have been written on Trump.
And then Turley concludes, he says, as an academic, I find both Trump University and Laureate to be deeply troubling stories, yet only one has been pursued by the media to any significant degree.
I'm not suggesting that Laureate is a is as a whole is fraudulent.
Moreover, there are distinctions that can be drawn, etc.
However, the money given to the Clintons, the involvement of the State Department, and the claims of fraud make this an obviously significant story in my view.
Well, you think?
I mean, that's not hard to figure out.
She was Secretary of State.
The State Department funneled $55 million to Laureate College.
You know, it's all part of the same old, same old when it comes to the Clintons.
It started when she was first lady and she turned a thousand dollars into a hundred thousand dollars in commodity futures, you know, and received improper financial assistance on the trades from the top lawyer at Tyson's Food, which at the time was the nation's biggest poultry company.
The lawyer, James Blair, was a close Clinton competant.
Blair advised the Clintons to get the cattle futures market, and during Clinton's tenure as governor, Tyson benefited from several state decisions, including nine million dollars in state loans.
They haven't changed their stripes.
And in the fall of 94, a paper for the Journal of Economics and Finance, economists from the University of North Florida and Auburn University investigated the odds of gaining a hundred-fold return in cattle futures markets during that period in question and using a model that was stated to give the hypothetical investor the benefit of the doubt.
They concluded the odds of any such return were at best one in thirty-one trillion.
Not million, trillion.
This is the Clinton's public lives.
They have gotten rich.
They have aggrandized themselves using their public fame and notoriety.
They have used such crossover they they have no ethical lines when it comes to crossover, taking money from countries that have abysmal human rights records for women and uh elsewhere.
And I gotta tell you, it's it's it's just the latest example of a double standard.
And we're gonna do more on this Laureate University, because I know the media won't do it, so I guess it's my job to do it.
Anyway, let's get to our busy telephones here.
Uh let's say hi to Scott is in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
Do you go to the school there, Scott?
How are you?
I you know what?
So my question is you just mentioned a little while ago about Bernie being cheated by a rigged system.
Why doesn't he sue the Democratic Party over the superdelegate?
I don't know what the lawsuit would be.
I mean, this is like a private entity in many ways, isn't it?
I mean America, you can sue anyone for any reason.
Does that have to be a good reason?
I think you've got a really good reason.
Well, I'm not sure if you you have a legal leg to stand on, is my point.
In other words, it's like the Republican Party is a a group of people that set their own rules.
I didn't like some of the rules in the Republican Party.
I think they should reevaluate after this election.
I think they should get rid of convention states.
I know Colorado's already switched back, but I think the idea that states can have primaries or caucuses is fine.
They can have proportional distribution, that's fine.
They can have winner take all, that's fine.
But I think there's got to be standards because it's a national party, and states should have a little bit of autonomy as well.
But the superdelegate is where it's really rigged.
And if Bernie did sue the Democratic Party, he could subpoena the superdelegate for deposition, and start questioning them like, did Hillary give you any money?
Do you prom are you promised an ambassadorship?
Were you promised a cabinet position?
Of course they're going to deny everything, right?
But what happens if she did win and start appointing these people, then they're on record they've they've perjured themselves.
Well, look, I think he knew getting into the system.
Everyone can argue, and Ted Cruz supporters, for example, argued for a long time the rules are the rules are the rules of the rules.
I don't have any problem with that, and yes, everybody knew what the rules were, but with that said, especially in the Democratic Party, the rules are rigged.
All right, 800 941 Shauna's on number.
Drew in Kentucky.
Drew, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
How's it going, Sean?
I'm good.
How are you?
Good.
First time uh caller, long time listener.
Uh thank you for your call.
I appreciate it.
Thanks for being with us.
Thank you, sir.
Uh, I don't know if you saw the uh I believe it was the ninth district court of appeals in California today ruled against the second amendment, and I've seen zero coverage of it on the news.
I didn't see it today, to be perfectly blunt with you.
I've been so immersed in politics and uh other issues.
I've been so busy with a million things today, but I will say this.
We know Hillary gave the answer the other day where she couldn't outright defend the right of people to keep and bear arms and affirm it.
Uh, she seemed to want to go with a nuanced definition of what represents a militia.
Well, the militia is defined by our government is the people.
That's the whole people.
Uh all of our framers and founders, all of them in some capacity, stood with the right of people to keep into bear arms.
You know, the fact that they would torture the definition or parse the definition is is Clinton S to the max, but um the answer to your question is I know she supports the assault weapon ban.
Nobody even knows.
Most people have no idea if you're not a gun owner or a gun enthusiast like I am, you don't even know what an assault weapon is.
And the difference oftentimes between what they define it as an assault weapon and another type of rifle is purely cosmetic more than anything else.
So, you know, we did have the DNC guy with the the case you're talking about, the the court affirmed the district court's judgments that there is no Second Amendment right for members of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public.
Well, if I'm living in Chicago where all the violence is, and I have a family, I want the right to carry a weapon.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
In this particular case of the one I think you're talking about, is you know, these were people in San Diego.
They sought a concealed carry permit for self defense, alleged they were denied licenses to do so because they didn't uh satisfy the good cause requirements.
Well I can tell you, in New York, I have to show cause to keep my pistol permit, my carry permit.
I get death threats far more often than you'll ever hear me talk about.
So it shouldn't be denied me.
And frankly, I don't think it should be denied anybody that is law abiding.
Oh, Hannity, you want the wild wild west.
No, I actually don't want the wild west.
What I really want is anybody that you know, people ask me all the time, because they hear me say I've been a marksman since I'm what, eleven or twelve years old, and they ask me all the time, what weapon, hey, what should I get?
What do you think?
What would you get?
And I said, It doesn't matter, just get a weapon that you're fully trained in, and especially, you know, take some safety courses.
Make sure you have the ability to protect that weapon at home if you have young children and things like that.
All right, eight eight hundred nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, and let us say hi to Tina is in Florida.
Hi, Tina, how are you?
Glad you called.
How are you doing?
Good.
What's going on?
I have a odd theory.
I think that Obama has Hillary exactly where he wants her.
Because number one, he can dictate anytime he wants to.
He's he bought a house in Washington.
He's a lot out there campaigning.
I think he just wants his agenda done where he can still be the president behind the scenes.
Well, there was an exchange today with Josh Ernest that he was insisting that the hostage video, and we'll show it tonight on Hannity, you know, the president's endorsement of Hillity's Hillary is not going to sway the ongoing FBI investigation.
Well, he's already done that by saying she did nothing wrong, didn't compromise security, and he said that with an without any knowledge of facts, just like he did in the Cambridge police incident with the police acting stupidly, just like he did in Ferguson and just like he did in the Trayvon Martin case.
So I'm not sure.
And then apparently the president met with the attorney general, you know, sometime thereafter, about three about well, twenty minutes ago.
Maybe they're still meeting.
Who knows?
I just think he's great as a manipulator.
Now that's the way we see it, you know.
He's just uh his uh Islamic sympathy is more than what I think that people are saying.
And really, we're all scared.
I listen, to me, it's very, very simple.
I know exactly what this woman is gonna do if she's president.
I was not wrong about Obama, and I'm not wrong about her.
It is a continuation of all the crap and garbage that we've had the last eight years.
We'll have the same predictable, depressing results.
That's the choice America faces.
Uh let's go to Dave in New Jersey, listening to the all new AM seven ten WOR.
What's up, Dave?
Uh, we got a minute.
It's all yours.
Hey Sean, I just want to let you know, you know, when Obama was running during his first two elections, only you guys in Talk Show Radio brought up the fact that he was associated with Bill Harris, hung out with guys, you know, GD America.
Yep.
And I think the mainstream media was scared to death to bring that up.
However, and what's even worse, so are Republicans, but now they're attacking Trump.
Exactly.
Yeah, the same ones attacking Trump.
Now with Trump running, I think he will not be scared of Hillary at all.
He will go after her viciously, and the media will have nothing to do but cover it and begin to listen, and maybe probably a good three four uh thirty, forty million Americans will hear what she's really about, because nobody knows what she's really about, and he will expose that.
Listen, especially because social media, now I know social media is upsetting to a lot of people because you know, social media can be pretty harsh, especially reading comments about myself sometimes.
I don't recognize the people they're talking about, but you do have the ability now, you know, as as Trump once said, I I can send out a tweet or an Instagram post or a Facebook post, and I'm getting more people looking at that than if it's a front page top fold New York Times story.
And he's right.
The world of media is changed.
And frankly, for the better, because we the people have more control.
I gave a variant of my speech to a variety of different groups.
Most often to groups of women lawyers or to groups, most particularly of young Latino lawyers and students.
As my speech may clear in one of the quotes that you referenced, I was trying to inspire them to believe that their life and s experiences would enrich the legal system.
Because different life experiences and backgrounds always do.
I don't think that there is a quarrel with that in our society.
Life experience enriches the legal system is what uh Justice Sotomayor said, and she also referred to herself as a wise Latina and speaking to women and and young Latino students numerous times.
Anyway, there's a column out today, hour two, Sean Hannity Show, by the way.
Glad you're with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Patrick J. Buchanan, the Donald and the La Raza Judge is the headline.
Mr. Mr. Outsider himself, insurgency candidate himself, Patrick J. Buchanan.
How are you, sir?
Doing fine, Sean.
How's it going?
Good.
You're right.
Before the lynching of the Donald Proceeds, what exactly was it he said about the Hispanic judge?
Answer your own question.
Well, he said uh two things.
First, he said with some justification, given the decisions of the judge, I think the judge has given me the shaft, and he's on the side of the Washington Post in his decisions.
And this may be because the judge is an Hispanic, a Mexican American, and because of what I've said, a lot of these folks are very angry at me, and he may be biased against me for that reason.
It sounds like wrong with stating his belief, his opinion.
Well, i it almost tracks with, in my opinion, except in a little bit different way, what Judge uh Sotomayor was saying, that life experience, you know, and background enriches the legal system.
Sure, as I write in there, Sean, look, I was writing editorials when Lyndon Johnson stepped up and appointed Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court.
It was very controversial, but in no question about it, the fact that Thurgood Marshall was the former head of the NAACP, uh, a black man who had been deeply involved in the civil rights movement who had experienced Baltimore, he was being put on the court for the very reason they wanted that perspective there.
And there was nothing wrong with that, and everybody realized that was his objective.
You know, I understand, and I've gone through great pains to to separate this La Rasa legal organization in San Diego, of which this judge is a part of, and and the National La RASA organization that believes in Astland and that the Southwestern United States really should go back to Mexico.
But the La Raza lawyer group does link to the National La Rasa group that does have the extreme views.
Is that relevant?
Sure, and where is the head of the National La Raza group, Cecilia Murnaz, is in the White House for heaven's sakes.
Well, I think there's a bigger problem, though, for Donald Trump, and that is that there is a lot of evidence out there now that especially the establishment people, Paul Ryan is rushing to the microphones, it seems every day to criticize Trump and the people like Lindsey Graham, and then you have John Kasich and you have Ted Cruz, they're not saying whether they'll support him, even though they all made a pledge that they'd support the nominee.
Uh, you get in tepid support from Marco Rubio, and it seems to me that there's a lot of anger and a lot of bitterness that Trump actually won the support of a record number of people in the Republican primary, and there seems to be uh a sabotage of his candidacy by Republicans.
Well, there well, there does, Sean, and we are very much a critical moment here.
Uh Trump won this thing massively, the largest turnout ever, the largest number of votes, the largest share of votes, and it was astonishing more than the Democrats.
And there is the potential here if we can bring together the populist nationalist conservatives with the con with the other conservatives, the Tea Party types, and even bring the establishment together.
We can win the presidency of the United States, have the Supreme Court for the next four years, maybe ten, have both houses of Congress.
But if we do not get together and and rip and we rip ourselves apart, we're gonna lose that opportunity.
And in my view, the the the Republicans who were defeated, they've got to ask themselves why are the Washington Post and all these people demanding that on moral grounds they repudiate Trump because if they all walk away or they go some third party route, they can sink him and sink themselves, and the people advising them to do this have never had the interests of conservatism or republicism, republicanism at heart ever.
You know, I think what is resonating the most is Donald Trump is connecting with people that have been disenfranchised.
You know, when one in five American families don't have a single family member in the workforce, and one in six young men eighteen to thirty-four are either incarcerated or out of work, and you double the national debt, and he talks about American first in terms of economics, American first in terms of uh energy policy, American first in terms of homeland security and national security, and we can't be the world's policemen because eventually these wars get politicized anyway, Pat.
You know, I I uh how many more times are we going to send young men to fight and die and only to have, you know, victory that they fought so hard for taken back from them because it's seen through the prism of Washington, D.C. Well, I think that uh I think you're exactly right.
And then the question comes, is is Trump merely a a last gasp of the past or does he represent the future?
And John, if you take a look at America, as you mentioned, he brought out millions and millions of people who don't come out.
They come out for reasons of economic patriotism, put America first, bring the factories home, bring the jobs home, stop exporting them, no more lousy trade deals, no more sending these young guys to win wars and then pulling them out and having the wars lost.
I think he represents the future, and one reason I do, his ideas, rough hewn as he is, is you take a look at Europe and all across Europe, movements are rising up, some of them very rough, etc.
But they're saying, look, we're being invaded from across the Mediterranean.
Millions and tens of millions of people, refugees are fleeing.
The whole character of our continent and our civilization are at at on the table.
And I think the I think Trump represents the you know the Western hemisphere part of this movement.
But you know, the people that are bl you're talking about him now, Ryan and these folks are really talking from yesterday.
They're remind me of the Rockefeller, Romney, Scranton Republicans, all of whom we're gonna take a walk on gold or on moral grounds because he he won't equate the John Birch society with the Communist Party.
You know, I look at keep going through the the Trump agenda, and that's based on so many interviews that I've had with him.
And it's pretty simple agenda.
He wants to get our economy under control and stop spending and and baseline budgeting.
I've asked him a hundred times.
He wants to replace Obamacare with health savings accounts.
He wants to expand coal and fracking and drilling and nuclear power in America.
He wants education back to the States.
He wants to uh eliminate Common Corps, he wants immigration, he wants to fix the VA.
He wants to build up the military so it'll serve as a deterrence once again.
I I don't know any one of those positions that are not conservative.
Uh I mean he may say some of these things differently, but that's the bottom line of what he's doing.
He also talks about, I know something you've talked about for years.
You and I were on different sides of the Iraq war.
You know, I didn't have a uh I didn't have a a crystal ball if I n if I had known that Obama would take back and give back Romani and Fallujah and to Creed and Mosul to ISIS, I wouldn't have supported it either, Pat.
I mean it's uh you know, I think you're right.
Take the um take the uh the issue that you raised there of energy and the rest of it.
I mean, all of us want to preserve the environment.
It's a magnificent environment God has given this country and people.
And he said clean air and clean water and all the rest.
But what he is saying is we ought to exploit our resources that also have been given to us by God for the benefit of the American people, our economic independence, our economic sovereignty, while preserving the environment as long as we go.
The other side, in my judgment, many on the left, they have raised the environment bas environmentalism to a religion that you you know you cannot they would not drill uh they would not dig any coal or drill for oil, they'd get rid of all the uh the resources that come out of the ground, we'd have windmills on everything.
We didn't we didn't make attacks against ISIS, Pat, for fear of what the environmental damage would be.
Well but uh you know well this is one thing that bothers me.
Take a Sean the really bothersome thing is I understand the liberals but the Republicans are morally intimidated by the establishment in Washington and they're told get up there on their high horse and denounce him for making a comment that he took that judge must be out to get him.
Pat they're fighting they're fighting Trump harder than they ever ever fought the Obama agenda.
Now they're doing it at a time where a poll came out yesterday where Donald Trump is tied dead even 44 44 in Pennsylvania against Hillary.
How many Republican uh presidential candidates in recent uh uh cycles have put uh Pennsylvania in play he's up he's up by one point in Florida in the poll that came out yesterday.
He actually is in play in a place like Michigan and Wisconsin and Ohio.
He's winning by four in Ohio and I'm trying to think what's wrong with these people.
They must want to lose because they're doing everything they can do to damage him.
Well look you're right we haven't won Pennsylvania or Michigan since nineteen eighty eight and but I do believe this the Republican establishment has bought in to the whole open borders idea and the American people have said in as many ways as they can no amnesty period and secure the border and and so the the establishment has not moved on that.
On trade there's no question about it that economic patriotism or economic nationalism is surging.
NAFTA's a dirty word in Ohio and Michigan and a lot of these Republicans got right up there with Bill Clinton, Jimmy Baker right up there on the stage with him working for him, the Bush is all behind it.
That has changed.
Also excuse me, but the the neocons global new world order and world democracy and ending tyranny in our world the country saying look unless our vital interest, unless America's vital interest or vital allies are imperiled, let's be hesitant to send American troops to fight and die for the But I think there's even a bigger reason than that, Pat.
I mean we can use both Vietnam and Iraq as examples.
How many times are we going to start wars, politicize wars, pull out and lose wars after so much blood, sweat, tears, the financial treasure and and the national treasure understand he made going up to Baghdad in the in the Gulf War I mean the f in the uh I remember war and he said, you know, tell me how this thing ends.
They they hadn't looked at it.
We're all going to get rid of Saddam Hussein we're going to hang him we're gonna take Baghdad tear his statues down, put together our government in there Pat if we're not committed to that listen, we better rethink how we fight wars because I can't look these these mothers and fathers that lost their sons in the eye anymore and I can't look at these kids that had their legs blown off by an IED because they didn't have an up armored Hum V that were going door to door in Iraq we better rebuild the military so we don't have to send soldiers in that wars will future wars will be
fought from a distance and that we can win them that way because otherwise we know what's going to happen.
That the the war will become politicized by the left it'll create it it'll it'll hit a critical mass and then we'll leave without winning.
Because that's the way we now do it.
And I don't think a war like that is ever worth fighting again.
I I you know I agree with you and I think there I mean we look at the Middle East there's I mean when you see look at all those countries breaking up breaking apart religiously, culturally, ethnically and the rest of it and and the idea that we can you know democratize that and turn it into a new view you know a new version of Kansas is just ridiculous.
And so I think that I think Trump understands and realizes this.
And also look I'm not against his idea that look Putin's a tough customer Sean I've sat down shaking hands and had dinner when I was with Nixon with some of the biggest murderers of the twentieth century.
You have to by the way who are the murderers you sat and had dinner with that's a that that's a leave us hanging answer.
Well you take a look at some of the Chinese communists we were there right during the middle of the Cultural Revolution with Chiang Jing and the rest of them and one point five million people died in that decade which what wasn't quite as bad as the Great Leap Forward of the 50s.
But there was Nixon with Mao Czeitong unbelievable right I mean what is it you know but the look there's a danger too I mean America's lack of involvement is also equally dangerous because uh let's be honest here the world's a dangerous place if the Iranians get nukes, the North Koreans already have the nukes if ISIS get a gets a hold of nuclear weapons, which they might at some point, you know we've got a a a clear and present danger for the entire world and you want to talk about a scary period of time, kids will be practicing getting under their desks and then some.
Well there no doubt that if one's most mature right now is the North Korean program and they have fifth tests.
Thank you, Bill Clinton, by the way.
And they're testing missiles and they're I think they're a good ways away from marrying a nuclear warhead and a missile and something that could reach the United States.
But there's no doubt that's the direction they're moving in.
And frankly when Trump said, you know, and look if if they do that, I can tell you South Korea and Japan, they're not going to need our permission if they if they're looking down the gun barrel at a nuclear armed North Korea, they're gonna have a ballistic missile defense.
My guess is with nuclear warheads on the ballistic missile defense.
All right, Pat Buchanan always love having you let's see how suicidal let's see how long the circular firing squad remains in existence.
Hopefully some of these Republicans will stand down at some point.
I think they seem to be I think they'll it's all been well we'll see.
Who do you like for VP real quick?
One name I I think the winner book on new has not improved in the last if it's new or conde who would you choose you know that's a choice patrol you know I get it again well I'll leave you Bair I'm not there with the interventionist.
I want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on making history as the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
Look I know how hard this job can be that's why I know Hillary will be so good at it.
In fact I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office she's got the courage the compassion and the heart to get the job done.
And I say that as somebody who had to debate her more than twenty times.
Even after our own hard fought campaign in a testament to her character she agreed to serve our country as Secretary of State.
And from the decision we made in the situation room to get bin Laden to our pursuit of diplomacy and capitals around the world I have seen her judgment.
I've seen her toughness I've seen her commitment to our values up close.
I've seen her determination to give every American a fair shot at opportunity no matter how tough the fight was that's what has always driven her and it still does.
So I want those of you who've been with me from the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I'm with her.
I am fired up and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary.
Wow he sounds fired up doesn't he?
Anyway news roundup information overload hour on the Sean Hannity show that sounds so enthusiastic looks like a hostage video.
Looks like he was forced to say everything that he said in the video.
I've never heard a lease a less enthusiastic endorsement than that endorsement.
I'm with her are you with her I'm with her kinda sort of if she doesn't get arrested it's funny.
Now what do you do if you're a Bernie Sanders supporter?
All right so Hillary falls short of get by a hundred and ninety eight delegates of actually in other words elected real delegates of actually getting the nomination.
So the only way Hillary gets the nomination is she has five hundred and seventy one of the super delegates to Bernie Sanders 48.
So the fix was in.
Now Bernie Sanders is saying the Democratic National Convention will be a contested convention.
You got Obama now trying to do his best to bridge the gap between Bernie supporters and Hillary's supporters.
Bernie Sanders says he's gonna fight on but uh even Elizabeth Warren said the super delegate system was corrupt.
Joining us now to shed some light on all of this is Kellyanne Conway founder president of the polling company Chris Hahn, the host of the ever growing Chris Hahn show now with two big affiliates.
Absolutely and and now expanded addition now it's two hours a week which is pretty amazing.
It's four hours a week now Sean Oh four hours a week okay if you count the oh I have to count the if I count my replays well then that's huge.
And that's massive huge it's huge.
All right uh so Kellyanne here's the funny thing in all of this it didn't sound very enthusiastic to me.
I know he's uh if I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter I feel ripped off.
I feel like this was stolen from me.
I think it's rigged I think it's corrupt I think that Hillary was given the nomination.
She didn't win the nomination and you know even with with all of this bad press that Donald Trump has had he's Still ended up tied yesterday in Pennsylvania and he ended up by one point ahead in Florida in spite of a week of horrible press.
Well, that's all right.
And if you're a Bernie Sanders voter today, I think you're fired up, Sean.
You are more resolved than ever to make sure your voice is heard to make sure that what they what they perceive to be the the Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton failures and disappointments and inadequacies for these liberal progressives.
This guy ran on he's gonna close Guantanamo Bay, he's gonna get out of all the wars, he's going to uh reform health care in a way that every American does better and and likes it.
None of that, of course, has been true.
And I think what's really important here is let's just do the numbers.
You have twenty-two states possibly in counting that Hillary Clinton has lost to Bernie Sanders.
That ain't nothing.
Those some of those weren't squeakers.
She has failed to capture a majority of millennial men or women in her own party.
And and thirdly, as you say, he Bernie Sanders has amassed a huge number of delegates, over 10 million votes and counting.
If you're the Democratic nominee and you're the Democratic president, you simply can't turn your back on ten million voters across twenty-two Victoria states and say your voice doesn't matter, fall in line.
And I just want to say one last thing.
She cannot blame the vast right-wing conspiracy, and neither can our friend Chris Hahn.
This all happened in her own Democratic Party.
Four years ago in June, she had a drop out of the race to Barack Obama, who today admitted she was more qualified than he was, and she he said I laughed when I saw it.
She's the most qualified person to ever run for this office.
That's funny.
Uh and secondly, it took her until June this time to become the nominee.
So, you know, I think you raise a good point here.
Now here's also let me add to your statistics.
As I pointed out, she fell a hundred and ninety-eight pledge delegates short.
I don't know whose phone is acting up here.
198 pledge delegates short.
Bernie won twenty-two states, and he won a lot of them decisively.
If you look at the actual votes, Hillary got one point five million fewer votes in twenty sixteen than she did in 08, and then she was the presumptive nominee too.
She was the consensus nominee, or so we thought.
Democratic voting altogether is down seven million votes, and meanwhile, Donald Trump and a field of sixteen of seventeen people originally, he shattered every Republican record we've ever had in a primary.
Now you gotta look at those numbers.
There certainly seems to be a lack of enthusiasm, Chris, on on your side, and and with all the Bernie supporters feeling angry that this was rigged.
I don't know if that bodes well for her in the end.
Well, look, I think we're all we're at the point in the primary where everybody's got to heel.
The primary's over.
Hillary did better than President Obama did, and we all know how that turned out.
She's running against a very divisive opponent.
Her lead over Bernie Sanders is bigger than Obama's lead was over her, as far as President.
Well, wait a minute, but you're down seven million votes than what you had in 08, so that is certainly a decline in enthusiasm.
Oh, absolutely.
But you still got three million more votes than Donald Trump did in the primary, so let's be clear about that.
Okay, Donald Trump has had it wrapped up, you know, fourteen states ago.
So, you know what, people didn't feel as compelled to go out to vote anymore.
You know, I I think that even still Donald Trump set a record in terms of any Republican nominee, and that includes George Bush.
And it's sad that that's the record when the Democratic Party was not a record and still the Democratic there were more people voting in the Democratic primary.
So Bernie Sanders, because he was in there.
Yeah, there were two exciting candidates in the Democratic primary.
There was one exciting candidate in the Republican Party, but that exciting candidate's gonna destroy the Republican Party now.
It the division in the Republican Party is what you should be worried about.
The Democrats have plenty of time to come together.
He saw Trump look like he brought it together, but now it's starting to look like everyone's question about the Democrats, and he said the word Republican in Trump ten times.
They are physiologically incapable of answering a question about their own party without mentioning ours.
Now let me go to what happened today.
So President Obama invited uh the crazy seventy-four-year-old angry curmudgeon uh socialist to the White House today, and anyway, he declared that he is staying in the race until next Tuesday's District of Columbia primary, and he said he wants to see the final vote count in California.
And he said he's also planning to go forward with a big rally in DC Thursday night.
And he said he is competing to the very end, and he'd also stated that the Democratic n National Convention would be a contestant convention.
Do you imagine he stays in?
Chris.
No, I don't.
I think in the next two weeks he'll be out out, completely out.
Okay.
What do you think?
Kelly Ann.
Okay, well, but that's fine, but w what's taking so long, Chris?
What's taken for this unified if you're gonna try to tell us the false premise that your party is unified?
Why is it June?
The second week of June.
The president just got around to endorsing someone who he today described as quote the most qualified person to ever run for this office.
That's untrue.
That's spin, but let's just say if he believes it, what the heck took so long?
Same thing with Sanders.
This idea that she's not gonna be able, the scripted statist person is not resilient and not nimble is now going to have to pivot to a general election.
She has been the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party for eight years.
And she's and she's just getting there now.
That doesn't go well for the fault.
She's been the presumptive nominee of the party since Monday night.
Okay, so let's say Obama.
I know you guys I know you guys well, and I love you both.
And I know you're really excited that there's a little bit of division in the Democratic Party, but it's not gonna last.
Between now and September and now and the and the and the convention in July, everything is gonna be done, and by September, nobody's gonna remember this week and next week and the week after.
Everybody's gonna know in the Democratic Party, all the progressive movement will be marching in the same direction, and we're gonna get Hillary Clinton elected president of the United States.
But one of the problems you are having, and I'll throw this to Kellyanne is Kellyanne is that all of these Bernie supporters, I think rightly feeled that they have been betrayed, that this system is rigged, that it's corrupt.
And I don't I see either many of them staying home, or in the end, I see many of them actually moving over to Donald Trump because they agree with Trump on trade and and some other issues.
Uh Kellyanne, don't you agree that that's a big problem for them?
It's a big problem because there are some similarities on substance and policy between the Sanders and the Trump voters, to say nothing of their entire uh existence this year as candidates outside the system, legitimately able to rail against the rigged corrupt system that benefits insiders.
And Sean, I can tell you Republicans can just basically run all of their ads against Hillary Clinton this fall using Bernie Sanders' own comments.
That's a fact, Chris.
You may not like it, but for the Well, in fairness, the Democrats will use like Paul Ryan's comments as well.
Well, they may, but he's saying that his party's unified.
And we're going to take Bernie Sanders'comments.
Bernie Sanders seems to have internalized and memorized Clinton Cash.
Peter Schweitzer's great book, which is now a film, everybody it's a required viewing in my in my view, and it's Bernie Sanders who just with this just very weak, uh, referred to the Clinton Global Initiative, their foundation is quote corrupt.
Those are her those are his words.
That is not a unified party.
You know, Marco Rubio called him a con man.
Paul Ryan called him a racist.
There's a million things that we could use against the city.
But they both endorsed him and Bernie hasn't.
He's in till next Tuesday at least.
Bernie's gonna endorse her, it's gonna be fine.
And I don't know that the endorsements of Donald Trump are gonna stick if he keeps going down the path he's going.
Is there any policy issue that you think she's she's actually gonna talk about?
Can we break some news on Sean's program and actually talk about a policy issue that Hillary Clinton wants to talk about that that doesn't involve the word Trump?
Why don't we talk about any policy issue in this campaign? 'Cause we really have it.
You know, the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton has strong policies towards uh towards health, towards education, towards income inequality.
There's lots that they're doing.
Yeah, but those are bumper stickers.
Listen, we know who...
$2.5 million in 92 speeches.
She gives them for free now, Chris, and nobody wants to listen to her.
Well, she's gett she's getting you know what?
It doesn't really matter how who shows up, right?
It matters who votes.
Well, I think what I but I think this is going to be a classic.
Let me throw this to Kellyanne.
Compare and contrast and choice election.
In other words, we know who Trump's gonna pick for judges.
We know his pledge on the military and the VA.
We know he'll say radical Islamic terrorist.
We know he'll build the wall, he will repeal Obamacare, he'll move towards energy independence, you know, he'll send education back to the states.
We know where he stands on trade deals versus Hillary.
Um on all of those issues, they are diametrically opposed, and all of them impact the bottom line, which is one in five American families don't have a single family member working.
We've doubled our national debt.
It's gonna come down to jobs in the economy.
Well, it will come down to a couple other things.
Jobs and the economy, I think it'll come down to security, Sean, which is like everyday affordability, financial security, job security, but also small S social Security.
You see, you've got Republican Senate candidates now running ads about opiate use.
It's a scourge in our suburbs and elsewhere.
And it's also national security and border security.
It's like Hillary Clinton's waiting around for the next ISIS attack.
She wouldn't even call the book.
Well, let me ask you this terrorist.
What are we to expect as it relates to the FBI primary, Kelly Ann?
I mean, that's unknown.
They're not exactly unified, are they?
And again, Sean, are they the vast right and conspiracy or was it the IG of the State Department of the Obama administration over which Hillary Clinton herself presided for four years?
This you see, this is a problem for the left.
They cannot blame the vast rate and conspiracy this time.
Her own party members, her own voters, her own Senator Sanders, and Barack Obama until today.
Now this FBI investigation is standing in her way.
All right.
You know, I could think of about 10 things that would be better for you to fantasize about than the FBI stuff.
Me too, but this is a family show.
You know, exactly.
I mean, you know, fantasize all you want.
I know that that's you know helps you go to sleep at night, Sean, but it's not gonna happen.
Well, the reality is you don't know that.
And the reality is, Chris.
We have a rule in this con in our constitutional law.
I've gone to jail for less, and but I want to beat her fa I want to beat her on the I I want to beat her as a candidate, Sean.
She didn't have to be a good one.
What are you so worried about then?
I'm not, I'm not worried at all.
Why aren't you guys on vacation?
Why is Hillary so worried?
Why is she screaming all the time?
She looks worried to me.
She didn't scream on two on Tuesday night, and he's a good one.
I mean, I thought he was very low energy.
I don't know what happened to him today.
Did they do something to him to keep him so low energy?
He reminded me of Donald Trump, Sean.
You heard it here.
They cannot answer a question.
Is she what's she gonna do with Obamacare?
It's a disaster, Americans don't like it.
And he and he talks about Donald Trump.
It's kind of weird.
Do you have a crush on him?
She's she uh I have a little crush on him.
At least I'm not sure.
You have a man you have a man crush on Donald Trump.
Listen, listen, listen, look, save your man crush for your show, okay?
We're gonna move on on this show and stay substantive.
All right, thank you both for being with us.
Thank you.
Kellyanne and the ever popular Chris Hahn show now expanded to two full hours and now three affiliates.
They're throwing things at the guy who has a Trump shirt on.
Oh, he just got knocked in the back of the head, he just got punched in the face.
And now they're rushing him.
Now they're knocking him to the ground.
And you're watching as this Trump supporter is hit over.
Now they're kicking this person.
Thank you.
In another area of this protest, I'm seeing a Make America Great Again hat lit on fire.
That's not uncommon either after these rallies that we've seen.
I'm trying to stand up for somebody.
You went to him.
You went to him, man.
You got to throw the game for him, man.
You got to throw the Trumps.
And they're continuing to run after these people who have Trump things on.
Donald Trump.
US imperialism.
All right, there you hear a lot of the uh protesters as we have been watching and viewing and hearing and the violence that has been taking place now all across the country.
Now, in this particular case, there was a number of videos we've been highlighting.
One was this woman that was surrounded by a mob with with Mexican flags in her face, and then literally at point blank reins throwing an egg at her head.
I mean, she showed incredible poise and and grace under fire.
Then, of course, we have the video of the kid in the yellow shirt that got cold cock from behind and his ear and the back of his head was bleeding.
Then, of course, there's this young man who's in a red shirt, had a Donald Trump hat on.
They took his hat, and then a mob literally chased him all the way around a whole perimeter where the event had taken place.
Eventually he was tackled by by one of these these mob members.
He gets up and smartly runs again, considering, you know, one guy can't take on a a mob.
And uh it's pretty unbelievable.
Two have been arrested for the San Jose attacks on the teen uh Trump supporter, this kid in the red shirt, and joining us Now is Craig Parsons.
He is the father of this teen who was assaulted at last week's San Jose rally.
Uh, first of all, how is your son doing?
Oh, he's doing well.
Yeah.
Um I gotta give him a lot of credit, because I d I I trained in martial arts and and I'm a big believer in Sun Tzu as well, the art of war.
And uh your son did the smartest thing he could do, and that was run away from a mob because there's no way that one person can take on sixty people like that, and he would have had his brains beaten in, and I give him a lot of credit for having the wisdom, even after he was tackled, he got back up and he kept running and he kept himself safe, but I felt bad watching him have to do this in America.
Absolutely, Sean.
I'm I'm very proud of him for that.
Um, you know, he shouldn't have to run for his life in America.
That's just crazy.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know if I was his his age, I would have handled the same way or not.
So I'm I'm very proud of him, impressed by him myself.
Listen, you need to tell him that he did the right thing.
I would tell my son to do the exact same thing, and my son also trains in martial arts.
You know, there's a time to fight, but it's got to be even a somewhat fair fight.
Fighting a mob is a guaranteed loss.
You're not gonna win.
For sure.
And and I and I have, and we will again.
Yeah.
Now, did he sustain any injuries when he was tackled at that at that moment on the grass?
Actually, no, when he was tackled, he got hit by a comb, but before that the guy cold caught him twice in the head.
He gets hit once, and I think my son doesn't even realize he was hit.
I think he I mean he knows he was hit, but I don't think he realized he was punched, he thought he just got hit, you know, I was in the back of the head or something, and then he walks away, and then he gets hit again by the same guy.
Um, and that's when he starts to run away because he knows he's just gonna get keep getting pummeled.
Yeah, I know, and uh everyone that got hit that I saw always is getting hit from behind, they're getting cold cocked, you know, they get cheap shot, you know, where somebody you just stand there talking, they just take a punch, you know, sort of like a free shot.
All right, so two people have been arrested specifically related to your son's case.
Uh yes, they have.
Okay.
Are you gonna press charges?
Uh uh high school students, as far as I can tell.
Are you gonna press charges?
Uh yes.
I would press charges.
Absolutely.
Uh, I want to say, I mean, I feel bad for these kids making uh making a lapse in judgment, but I mean there's consequences for your action, whether it's a lapse in judgment on this or anything else that people might do.
Well, there's two there's two things that could happen.
Look, I'm just putting myself in in your shoes.
How old is your son?
He's uh fifteen.
Okay, my son's a little older than your son.
I if if the family of those kids contacted me and they made a sincere apology and would somehow offer to do some type of community service and take a course on, you know, I don't I don't know if there's an anti-mob violence course.
I might I might consider lifting the charges, but unless and until that happens, no way.
Absolutely.
And and I thought about this in the last few days myself, and I was happy with that until I saw the look on that kid's face after hearing my son and started chasing him down.
I mean, there's just pure hatred in his face, and honestly, I mean he would have to do a lot of public speaking against this for me to believe he was concerned about it at all.
Yeah, no, I agree, and and I I I I don't know if a mob mentality took over.
I'm not making excuses.
There's no justification for what happened to your son.
Now, at one point when we aired the video, your son seemed to stop when a fire truck pulled up.
What happened?
Yeah, he's he he ran to the fire truck.
You can see him trying to grab the side of the fire truck, and they basically just rolled the windows, hung up the horn and kept moving.
And I mean my father was a fireman.
I I'm appalled by this.
I mean, they could have just pulled him up and and and drove off.
I mean, I don't know why what where their head was.
How could they not see what was happening there?
I mean, there were a bunch there was literally a mob.
By the way, your son's fast.
I give him a lot of credit.
He was he's pretty quick.
Um, but I mean he pulls up to a fire truck.
You know, you would think they're there to protect and serve, and maybe I I you know, I have so much faith in firemen.
I was a little shocked.
I was too.
I mean, I I was when he got attacked the first time, I was getting attacked going trying to go back to car, and all of a sudden I realized he's being attacked, and I look over there and I see, oh my god, and then I see him going to the fire truck.
Good, good, good, go to the fire truck, and then the fire truck runs by and he keeps on running.
I mean, I'm horrified.
By the way, you should be proud also.
Your son cares about his country, he's interested in the political system.
I mean, he went to hear a presidential candidate.
I don't know if you went with him, did you?
Yeah, yeah, we went through together.
I mean, I heard about it on the radio the day before.
I I texted him and said, Hey, do you want to go to the truck rally?
He said, Well, is Mr. Trump gonna be there?
I said, Yeah, he said absolutely, let's go.
Yeah.
So where were you when all this was happening?
Well, we were walking back to the car, someone stole his hat.
I tried to get the hat back from the guy who stole his hat.
Oh, my son won.
We went to the rally.
The first thing he said, hey, can you get a hat?
And I said, Sure.
So this guy takes his hat.
I go to get his hat, and my while while my back's turned to him trying to get this hat back, all it starts happening.
Right.
And then all of a sudden I look and he's gone.
They're ripping my I had about five different Trump signs.
They start ripping them up, ripping them out of my hands, spitting on me, so I'm already preoccupied, and all of a sudden I get done with them.
I look over and he's running for his life.
And what did you do at that point?
I just tried to chase him down the best I could, but the mob people was hard to get anywhere.
And then finally once he um he got through the the police line and there's a picture showing a uh a police officer that they say went out of the police line to help him.
Well, that's totally false.
He didn't get help for after he was past the police lane.
Unbelievable.
I went to the police line to see if he's okay and they want to let me through.
Let me ask you what you're gonna do in terms of the city.
Because I read the comments of your dopey mayor, and I I was stunned.
He didn't put the blame where it properly belongs on the people that were part of the mob and involved in the mob and involved in the violence.
Um and from what I understand the police were cordoned off far away from where the trouble was for a while.
Well, that's true too, and also we parked on the um the west end of the convention center.
We were forced to go out the east in the convention center, go two blocks away from our car, then back around to this gauntlet of people.
And every other time I've been to event there, we've been able to get from the cars to the convention center in the matter of you know, two or three hundred yards.
And this way we had to go way out of our way, and through these people, even if they had a lack of officers to patrol the area, they could have made a safe cordon for us to get to the cars.
So, in other words, the police saw what was unfolding and they just stood back.
They were standing down.
And what would have been a shortest way?
We went over there, and another officer says, No, you guys can't go this way, you have to go around.
So, in other words, they didn't protect you, and then it was it wasn't until after your son was chased down like this that they finally showed up, I guess, in a line, right?
Well, they they had lines all over the place, but he was like I said, we had to go through we had to pass the line where they were protecting people to get to the cars.
Yeah, but wait a minute, but they but it wait the police were down the block from where your son originally started his running.
They saw the mob taking off.
Don't they have an obligation to follow the mob?
Well, I I would agree.
I mean, these guys are wearing riot gear and stuff, and you think they could help one kid who's out there running by himself.
But obviously they they couldn't.
Are you gonna sue the city?
Um we're we're uh we're thinking about it.
I mean, you know, I I just I just don't want this to happen to anybody else again.
You know what I would do?
I'd sue the city.
They have some nerf.
Their job is to protect and serve.
And I'm not blaming I'm not blaming the officers.
I actually think there for their actions for sure.
I bet you they're deleting emails right now that told the police to stand down because I know every police officer I know would have gone to the support of your son.
Everyone's I know too would have done the same thing.
So I bet you they were told by the city to stand down.
That's my prediction.
I don't know for sure.
That's my guess.
I I I would tend to agree with you.
I don't know for sure, but that's my guess.
Well listen, I I know your son, I mean, he probably doesn't love the idea of being on national TV every night, but you know, tell him that he should be really proud of how he handled himself.
He did exactly the right thing.
Um I went over the incident actually with my sensei, my my martial arts teacher, and he was like, That kid was so smart, he did exactly the right thing.
My my martial arts teacher wouldn't have fought those people, he would have taken off.
He said that's the only thing you can do.
And then at least if you take off, if you're pretty fast, then maybe if you do get stopped, you're only dealing with three people instead of a hundred people, at least for a couple of at least for a minute or something, you know.
So he did exactly the right thing.
He should be very proud of him, and uh it's too bad that he has to go through this in America.
I'm very sorry that he did.
Uh well, hopefully soon else will learn from it.
Get a good lawyer, sue that city.
Okay, Sean, thank you.
All right, eight hundred nine four one Sean, our toll-free telephone number.
Now, I'm not blaming, I want to be very clear here.
I don't think the cops did anything wrong.
I guarantee you that somebody told those cops to stand down and they saw this whole thing unfolding.
Guarantee, right, Jason?
You're shaking your head.
Guaranteed.
Yeah, and I believe the San Jose Mayor employed that brilliant strategy employed by the Baltimore mayor to give the protesters their space.
Yeah, let them vent.
Let them burn half the city down, not the whole city.
Oh, okay.
That's a great.
You don't want to make the rioters mad.
Yeah, don't make them mad.
Not that they're not mad already.
Uh Frank is in uh, I guess out of San Jose.
How are you, uh, Frank?
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Sean, how's it going?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm doing great, thanks.
Um, you know, I was at the event and uh we were just leaving, and uh, you know, the parking garage is right next door.
Unfortunately, we were rerouted around the block straight into the arms of the uh the awaiting uh uh demonstrators and I was me and my wife were you know not didn't have any gear on or anything unusual but uh out of nowhere I get by slam my wife gets shoved it was uh it was horrendous and I I mean I I and where were where were the police where were they right there they were looking at us they were watching the whole thing uh unfortunately they uh whether they
were given a stand down order or whatever they just you know what I've heard from friends of mine were that they just were asked to uh to uh not escalate the situation I was looking at the police what's with this you know I'm pointing at these guys and they're just they were just kind of motionless and emotionless.
That doesn't sound like any cop I know.
That sounds like cops were told not to do anything.
I just I I know too many policemen.
That's not what they do.
Exactly they did not get it and you know what and here's the problem if they don't listen to the stand down order which I'm assuming happened if they don't listen then they're in big trouble.
Then they lose their job, their pension, everything.
What are they supposed to do at that point?
I actually spoke to a cop friend of mine.
They said, you know what?
Oddly enough, many of us cops just spoke to him last night.
He said many of us are Trump supporters, but we just kind of fell in line.
So I think that's exactly the case.
So did the cop kind of confirm to you that there was a stand-down order or what?
He didn't confirm that.
He thinks, number one, the powers that be really messed up.
the way he explained it.
I asked him, did they stand down?
said not necessarily but uh they're just very very nervous about uh escalating quote unquote escalating if somebody if an old uh look I don't how old are you?
I'm fifty five if a fifty five year old guy uh and I you know I'm fifty four so we're almost the same age you know the same birthday actually I think is that right yeah well happy birthday when we get there you just yeah all right so I'm a fifty four year old guy but I practice martial arts okay I w I'd be ready to roll with anybody I practice getting hit I mean it's a very violent form of martial arts and it's very aggressive.
Okay.
The average person all of my friends my age think I'm a nut because I because they see the black and blues all over me all the time and like what are you doing to yourself?
I I just like it.
I like that rough and tumble I always have as a kid I played ice hockey but the average 55 year old guy is not ready to fight a bunch of young people it's just not and if the cops see that they need to step in.
Absolutely I mean if my wife weren't there I mean I'm six to two hundred and forty pounds I mean he tried to buy swam and he felt he he he fell across me and hit the wall but I was ready to go at it but there are about six other people ready uh at the ready there to uh to jump on me so my wife started getting upset crying and we just we just walked away.
No I mean you did a hundred percent the right thing there's there is no option for anybody in that situation.
And by the way and if you're carrying a weapon it's an even worse option.
Because you know you may feel the need to protect your life and and now you have no cops there that are willing to step in and stop it and you know look you know what if they don't get a hold of these situations before we get to Cleveland and Philly there's gonna be there's gonna be blood in the streets and it's gonna be ugly and people are going to die.
I agree with you more Sean It's gonna be more blood in the streets.
There's blood in the streets now it's not the America we're born in.
I mean it's ridiculous.
All right anyway I'm glad you're okay.
You ought to why don't you put this man in contact with the father of this kid so that that's another witness that can testify when he sues the city.
I think there ought to be a a lawsuit by everybody that was betrayed by this city.
You got Obama phone?
Yes everybody in Cleveland no minority got Obama phone in president you know he gave us a phone how do you give you a phone?
You chat you are full stems you all self security you got low income you disability what's wrong with Romney again?
Romney he sucks Wow What a character that lady was back in the day that was in 2012 25 now until the top of the hour why are we playing that?
Because the Obama phone program is back in the news a federal subsidy known as the Obama phone or Obama net program could be losing get this nearly five hundred million dollars a year to fraud annually according to a top Republican on the FEC the Federal Communications FCC the Federal Communications Commission.
Anyway the commissioner made the accusation in a letter to the Universal Service Administration company referring to the FCC's universal service fund which provides the subsidy to telecom service to low income consumers the Obama phone.
Anyway the subsidy's limited to one per independent economic household, but the telecom companies have uh the ability to override that restriction if applicants check a box stating they represent a separate household, even if they have the same address.
Whoops, Obama phone fraud.
And anyway, the uh he pointed out that uh data obtained by the FCC last month revealed that carriers had enrolled nearly four point three million subscribers.
Wow.
That's amazing.
We're paying for the Obama phones.
By the way, for the record, the Blaze had this up today, Tom or the government's fight to avoid enforcing immigration laws.
Yeah, that's happening.
Why in other words, that's breaking the law.
We have laws.
Every time, for example, the government releases a convicted felon, illegal immigrant, that person should be deported.
What do we do?
We let them, even violent criminals, we let them back out on the street.
It's insane.
Want to hear more insanity about government spending?
We're spending twenty thousand dollars to settle every Syrian refugee that our National Director of Intelligence, FBI director, assistant FBI director, House Homeland Security Chairman, and the envoy, special envoy to defeat ISIS, have all said that population will be infr infiltrated by ISIS.
Oh, and by the way, don't worry about Republicans, Mitch McConnell, strong man that he is, has dropped every effort to defund Obamacare.
But don't worry, he'll be critical of Donald Trump.
Unbelievable.
California, this was in GOP USA, is got an idea.
Remember, they paid 13 and a half percent state income tax.
Now they want to extend Obamacare to illegal immigrants.
That's right.
Healthcare.gov says you do not have to be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or lawfully present immigrant, uh uh lawfully present immigrant to qualify for health coverage, according to healthcare.gov.
It says that undocumented immigrants are not eligible to buy health insurance through the marketplace, but the issue has now been raised a lot in recent days as a bill before Governor Jerry Brown would allow people who are in the country illegally to buy private health insurance on the state exchange in violation of the law.
The laws mean anything.
We've got the Obama administration.
Well, they've just released another twelve detainees from Gitmo that have launched attacks against the United States or Allied forces in Afghanistan, people that have killed at least a half a dozen Americans, according to current and former U.S. officials.
By the way, 40% of those have been confirmed to go right back to the battlefield to kill again.
Very smart indeed.
Let's see.
Oh, America, by the way, is now drowning in credit card debt, and student loan debt is now at a h at a historic high, one point three trillion dollars in student loan debt.
Anyway, American taxpayers are quick to criticize the federal government for increasing the national debt, but 2016, we're gonna end the year with a record high.
Get this American consumers one trillion dollars in outstanding balances.
You know why?
Because median income is down.
You want to know why?
Because all these people out of the labor force and in poverty and on food stamps that can't get jobs, there's no ladder up anymore, thanks to eight years of socialism, statism, redistributionism, and uh Obamaism.
Didn't work out too well, did it?
All right, eight hundred nine four one Sean is a number you want to be a a part of the program.
Let's go to Sharon is in Michigan.
Michigan could be a state in play, perhaps for Donald Trump.
How are you, Sharon?
Glad you called.
Thank you for taking my call, Sean.
Um, I just wanted to make a comment about the fact that uh it seems like a lot of the Republican establishment is not supporting Donald Trump, and it seems like they want to tear him down.
Um I sense that they really just want to see him fail so they can have the kind of I told you so moment.
And I'm thinking to myself, where are all these people going to be if we end up with Hillary as our new president, and we suddenly have uh a court, a supreme court full of liberal judges, And you know, all of the things that the uh Democrats stand for are in play.
And now I am getting very I I'll tell you my patience is running so thin on this.
If leaders in the Republican Party continue to openly sabotage Donald Trump's chances, even though he won a record number of votes by far in any Republican primary, I think I may now start openly supporting their opponents in the election.
Both primary and maybe maybe I'll even support Democrats.
And I'm talking about people like Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, and the rest of them.
I'm sick of all of them.
They're a bunch of sore loser babies out there that can't take the fact that they lost and that their establishment figures lost, and that they're what they're really feeling is that everything that they have known in politics, the incestuous relationship with either the media and special interest groups and and the Democrats and the good old boy system potentially could be blown to smithereens.
Not literally, by the way.
But it can be shattered by an outsider who says, no, we're not gonna play this game anymore.
Yep.
And you know what?
It's I'm gonna my patience is running very thin here.
I don't have much more room for any more of these.
You know, uh what bothers me is they're fighting Trump harder than they ever fought.
Obama.
They enabled the entire Obama agenda.
They agree.
Every time there was a real moment to stand up, they backed down.
They cowered, they they capitulated, they gave in.
And now all of a sudden they're big and mean and tough because they're fighting a fellow Republican that actually wants to build a wall, eliminate Obamacare, make us energy independence, you know, build up our military, and balance a budget.
Tell me the logic in that, because I don't understand it.
There is no logic.
Yeah.
And so you could I couldn't have said it any better.
That's exactly the way I feel.
And you know, uh Trump wasn't my original pick.
He wasn't who I was looking at.
I actually started off looking at Jeb Bush, and then I switched over and started the dead crews.
Listen, a lot of the lot of people that were disappointed.
I understand it.
I'm kind of glad I stayed out of it from the beginning.
I said from the beginning, I said in 2015 at CPAC, and I said in 2016 at CPAC, I'll support the winner, and I'll let the people decide.
And the people spoke loudly, and I'm enthusiastic.
I think Donald Trump I think the people were wise.
I think they figured out that Donald Trump probably has the capacity, the potential to win in states where other Republicans may not have been able to play well.
That's true.
We lost with Romney.
Yeah.
All right, thank you.
We had an establishment cap uh candidate, and we lost.
And we had Dole and we had McCain, too.
Michael, thank you, Sharon.
Michael is in uh Springfield, Missouri.
What's up, Michael?
How are you?
Glad you called.
I'm well.
How are you, sir?
I'm good, sir.
Good.
Uh I had a question.
Um, obviously there's a lot of people that don't like Trump, and a lot of people that don't like Hillary.
Is there a chance that a third party would actually be a viable option this year?
I don't think so.
I mean, you got the libertarian candidate.
I think you got a green workers' party candidate, some lady I never heard of before.
Um, I don't think it's gonna impact the election much at all.
I I would argue that a vote by the way, Gary Johnson, this liberty it's it's almost hilarious how what are we gonna give heroin to ten-year-olds and it'll be legal?
It's so stupid some of their positions, it's ridiculous.
And the representatives of true libertarianism, I'll tell you who's one of the best representatives, and he was whining about me the other day, and somebody sent me a tape as our old buddy Neil Bortz.
You know, he says, Hannity won't let me fill in because I'm too controversial.
I said, Neil, you're too full of yourself.
Get over yourself.
I'm one of my best friends, but I'm like, and then he said he ran me out of Atlanta to the Fox News Channel.
I'm like, good grief, this guy has no no sense of proportionality in life.
Well, anyway, I love Neil, but he represents libertarianism in a way that is far more rational than Gary Johnson.
I mean, I never saw a more boring, dull candidate that is probably is incapable of getting two percent of the vote at the end of the day.
Uh thank you.
Let's go to uh Denise in Texas.
Hi, Denise, how are you?
We're glad you called.
Hello, Mr. Sean.
It's such a pleasure to talk to you.
Long time listener.
Thank you.
First time caller, and I really admire you.
All your hard work.
Thank you.
You're such a handsome, handsome man.
Well, whoa.
Hang on a second.
You can repeat that.
Now let me ask you a question.
You don't have HD TV, do you?
Yes, I do.
1080, HD, everything.
3D, 3D as well.
Well, you know they put a lot of makeup on my face for TV, right?
And you know, and you know they hide my fat stomach with a big jacket, right?
That's your handsome face.
Not your rest of it.
You're very sweet.
Thank you.
You made my day.
Good.
Um, I just wanted to say um I'm as strong as Trump supporter, have been since day one.
I've always admired Trump as well, not for his uh looks like his good looks like you, but um I have um even when he makes his comments, I just um I just hope that everyone just stays positive and just does not waffle like he doesn't waffle.
He does not backtrack, and that's what I I love about the man.
Um we need somebody who is strong and sticks to their word, and that is why he's always won since day one, because of of the person he is.
And um the day he uh the day he mentioned Mexican, sugar judge Correa, um I'm as well Mexican, but um it I did not feel that it was derogatory in any kind of way.
All he was saying was, and even the way he said it, I didn't think it was offensive at all.
And all the Mexicans I know that are still Trump supporters will always be Trump supporters, and um did not feel like it was an in any kind of negativity towards the race.
I gotta tell you something.
I find it refreshing.
You know, how many times you know you're raising a good point, Denise.
I have defended on this program.
I said many times Bill Maher, who I can't stand.
I don't like anything about him.
I don't like his show, I don't like him personally, I don't agree with anything he says.
But I say Bill Maher is good for America.
Why would I say that?
Because he says irreverent things and he stays on TV.
That's a good thing.
I'm tired of everybody couching what they feel and how they think.
And Donald Trump said the other day to these panicked weak, you know, weak in the knees, spineless Republicans.
He said, Man up.
You know, the idea that Trump is now gonna change into a more election conscious congressional uh candidate, it's not gonna happen.
So just expect the fact that this is gonna be a different time and a different year and political correctness.
That ceiling hopefully is being shattered, and we can speak a little more truth, and uh and everybody can have their point of view and and we'll get over it.
Well, I don't think people are as offended at words as they act like they are.
I think people they they act outraged if it fits a political agenda, but I don't think they're really outraged.
Does that make sense?
The left taking it and running with it like they do with everything, which is fine, but I just I just want to make sure your listeners know um we need to still stand totally positive.
Don't lose faith, and uh and President Trump, and I know he will win, and uh that's when things will just be so much better.
Uh right now we're kind of in a hellhole, but um we are hopefully gonna get out in November.
