Hillary Clinton.
And as you know, she, most people know, she's a world-class liar.
Just look at her pathetic email server statements or her phony landing or her phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack and the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers.
A total and so look, this was one of the buttes.
A total and self-serving lie.
Brian Williams' career was destroyed for saying less.
Just remember that.
Hillary Clinton wants to bring in people who believe women should be enslaved, engaged, put to death.
Maybe her motivation lies among the more than 1,000 foreign donations Hillary failed to disclose while at the State Department.
Hillary Clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency of the United States.
In the words of a Secret Service agent posted outside the Oval Office, somebody that saw her a lot and knows her probably better than almost anybody, she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office.
From the bottom of my soul, I know this to be true.
Her leadership style, volcanic, impulsive, disdainful, and disdainful of the rules, set for everyone else, hasn't changed one bit.
Perhaps the most terrifying thing about Hillary Clinton's foreign policy is that she refuses to acknowledge the threat posed by radical Islam.
In fact, Hillary Clinton supports a radical 550% increase in Syrian refugees coming into the United States, and that's an increase over President Obama's already high number.
Under her plan, we would admit hundreds of thousands of refugees from the most dangerous countries on earth with no way to screen who they are, what they are, what they believe, where they come from.
Already, hundreds of recent immigrants and their children have been convicted of terrorist activity inside the United States.
The father of the Orlando shooter was a Taliban supporter from Afghanistan, one of the most repressive, anti-gay, and anti-woman regimes on earth.
I only want to admit people who share our values and love our people.
That was Donald Trump, and by far his hardest-hitting, straightforward speech to date.
Hillary Clinton, a world-class liar.
Hillary Clinton, the most corrupt president ever to seek the presidency.
You know, as I was watching this speech today, and I actually got an early copy of it when they sent it out, you know, early to the due often to the press.
I'm reading this thing and I'm saying, would Bob Dole ever give this speech against Hillary?
Would John McCain give this speech?
Would Mitt Romney give this speech?
Would any of the other 16 candidates give this speech?
I don't know.
You know, one thing that I know as a conservative that I have been very critical of Republicans of is they don't fight.
The entirety of the Obama agenda got passed because they've been weak and timid and spineless and visionless.
I think that this speech, you can break it down into a number of different groups here in terms of the things that he was focusing on.
Number one, the possibilities of what our country could be.
And he laid out a comparative, contrasting vision for the country on every issue imaginable because this is one of those elections.
You get two very distinct visions for the country.
You know, he brought up how phony and how often Hillary lies, that landing in Bosnia where she said she was under sniper fired.
Oh, I was just so tired.
I had no idea.
Meanwhile, she was met with young girls handing her flowers.
You know, and I think probably the most powerful part of this speech was how this country needs real leadership from the outside because the pros, the professional politicians, are not getting it done.
And that's his background, and that's his experience.
And by the way, more and more people, especially in the exit polls, were saying that.
I think more and more people are buying into the idea that, yeah, we've got to put America first if we're ever going to make America great again.
I think a lot of people likely said, when I'm elected president, I'm going to end the special interest monopoly in Washington.
And then he went through a litany of probably the biggest beneficiaries of that corrupt system has been the Clintons.
She's made a fortune along with her husband.
You know, they perfected the art of giving personal favors and profiting from their positions.
You know, he called it Hillary running her own personal hedge funds at the State Department, doing favors for oppressive regimes.
You know, the fact that she and her husband made $153 million giving speeches.
Who do they give the speeches to?
Oh, let's see, Wall Street groups and banks and insurance companies and lobbyists and foreign governments.
$153 million they made.
And between Bill and her, over nearly $55 million in speeches in just two years that they won't reveal to you, the American people.
So it's becoming a choice election on every issue that I've talked about, on the economy, on health care, on foreign policy, on energy, on education, on immigration.
Two very distinct emerging visions for the country, on judges to the Supreme Court.
You know, so the choice really is for you, the American people.
And that means some of you people that pick up your toys and decided to go home.
Okay, because Hillary will pick Supreme Court justices.
Hillary's not going to build a wall.
Hillary's going to continue the Obama policy.
She just gave a speech, and she wants to give away everything.
She sounded more Bernie than Bernie.
Everything's going to be free.
She's going to tax the rich, continue.
You know, what is she going to do on energy?
She's going to shut down coal mining.
Coal miners will be out of work.
Coal companies will collapse.
She already said no to fracking, so we're not going to be energy independent there.
She's against drilling.
It'll impact the environment.
Of course, she's going to import oil from her Saudi Arabian friends and Middle Eastern friends.
I mean, that whole system is so disgustingly corrupt.
It's nauseating.
And she has been the biggest beneficiary of corrupt government.
You know, probably the most corrupt person to ever seek the presidency.
You know, look at we reward companies in this country.
They take their businesses elsewhere.
We punish companies that try and keep Americans working.
You know, they get punished.
He said at one point, that's not the rising tide that lifts all boats.
You know, America, literally, you know, he's talking about America first, reducing taxes, getting rid of regulation, bureaucracy, not the corruption that we've had.
I know a lot of people, oh, they're so happy about NAFTA.
Okay, talk to the trade unions about NAFTA.
Talk to the WTO, adding China to the WTO.
Well, she was the Secretary of State.
Well, China soared 40% in terms of the trade deficit with the U.S.
Okay, but they were also paying Bill Clinton $750,000 for a speech.
You know, the whole corrupt, you know, Bill Clinton gives speeches underwritten by the Chinese government and their supporters.
Well, what did they get back?
And he talked about her corruption.
You know, he talked about deleting an entire record from her book in her paperback version of her book.
30,000-plus emails, 32,000 emails deleted.
Something she's good at, as he said.
You know what?
Why is that?
But then foreign governments, is there a chance, he brought this up today, is there a chance that foreign governments have been able to get those emails that she had in a mom-and-pop shop bathroom closet?
Probably.
And if they did, that means she'd be a compromised president.
You know, then he talked at length about foreign policy.
He said her decision spread death, destruction, and terrorism everywhere she touched.
And that's Libya.
Look at the time.
You go back when 2009 was an important time.
Before Hillary was sworn in, Libya was cooperating.
Gaddafi wasn't going to build weapons of mass destruction.
Iraq, Ramadi, Fallucia, Mosul, to Crete.
Well, that wasn't a ISIS didn't exist at that time.
So they decided to give a pull-out date.
That pull-out date ended up becoming a launching pad for ISIS.
They now use Iraq and Syria.
Syria, they drew a red line in the sand, so they ruined Syria.
They ruined Iraq.
Then they give the number one state sponsor of terror, Iran, $150 billion so they can continue to spread their hatred and build hegemony in the region.
I mean, all of this happened under her watch.
ISIS was created because of the vacuum that was built by Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Nobody ever talks about that.
And she still, she wants a 550% increase in Syrian refugees, even though all of our intelligence community says don't do that, including just this week, the CIA director.
You know, think about all of this.
You know, she takes money from the Saudis.
She takes monies from all of these countries that treat women, gays, lesbians, Jews, and Christians horribly.
How do you defend that?
How do you defend taking, you know, what, up to $25 million to the Clinton Foundation from Saudi Arabia, $10 million for the Clinton Library?
Women can't drive.
Women are told how to dress.
Women need permission to work, to go to work or school or travel.
There's no marital rape.
Gays and lesbians, well, that's punishable by death.
You can't build a church or a temple.
You know, similar Sharia countries like Kuwait and UAE and Qatar and Brunei and Oman.
How do you justify being the champion of all these groups and take all their money when they abuse all these people?
33,000, 32,000 emails deleted.
Well, probably they now, he said, had a blackmail file over someone who wants to be the president.
That fact alone disqualifies her from the presidency.
We can't hand over our government to someone whose deepest, darkest, darkest secrets may be in the hands of our enemies.
We can't do that.
550% increase in refugees, and every intelligence official says ISIS will infiltrate that population.
Of course, she's not going to build a wall.
She's not going to appoint originalist justices.
She wants radical judges.
She's radical.
She's as radical as Obama.
You know, she wants massive tax increases.
That's going to destroy the economy.
So one thing that I think that Trump did well today said, come November, you, the American people, you're going to have a choice to issue a verdict on the politicians that have sacrificed your security, betrayed your prosperity, sold out your country, and you'll have a chance to vote for a new agenda.
You know, not Hillary's tired agenda.
You know, and then he went into talking about what he would do, how America could come back, how America can change, how he'd appoint conservative justices, how he would negotiate better trade deals, fix the VA, eliminate Obamacare, move towards energy independence, build the wall, get rid of excessive taxation, regulation because of open borders.
And to me, that's the summary here.
And I think he's been on defense for far too long, and I think this was a much-needed transition.
You know, even when there's stories that are harmful to Hillary, like the State Department IG report undermining her email server, well, then it became, you know, the issue about the judge in the Trump University case.
So I think Trump knew that this was the right moment to write the ship, and the speech today I thought laid out the case well.
And I think you got in Hillary Clinton probably the most target-rich environment imaginable.
I think Hillary Clinton has a trail of corruption that is deeply problematic, extremely worrisome, you know, starting from her cattle futures deal in 1978 to the Clinton Foundation scandal today.
She's unethical.
She's corrupt.
She has no commitment to the public interest.
She's failed in the tasks she has been given.
It's always about the Clintons, their desire, their need, their money, their interest.
They'll cut any corner, ignore every rule to advance their selfish aims.
Now, people may not know chapter and verse on the Clintons, but they do have a general impression.
And for the purposes of this election, she's corrupt, dishonest, and untrustworthy.
And a rule in politics is whoever controls the narrative controls the outcome of the race.
And what Trump is doing now in his speech today is beginning to advance the narrative, the case against Hillary, which needs to be made.
And she needs to start answering questions.
It would be nice if we had a media that would ask and bring up some of the important questions she's never been asked.
But don't hold your breath on that.
You need to take control of your family and assets.

That's why I'm passionate about this issue, and I will fight hard to end the stranglehold that the wealthy and special interests have on so much of our government.
So let's do this together.
A historic investment in jobs, debt-free college, profit sharing, making those at the top pay their fair share, putting families first in our modern economy, and a democracy where working people's voices are actually heard.
That is what we are fighting for in this election.
And maybe we shouldn't expect better from someone whose most famous words are: you're fired.
Well, here's what I want you to know: I do have a jobs program, and as president, I'm going to make sure that you hear you're hired.
So please join me in this campaign.
I'm offering a very different vision of our work.
We're stronger together.
We're stronger when our economy works for everyone, not just those at the top.
I am convinced that if we work hard, if we go into November with the confidence and optimism that should be the American birthright, we will not only win an election, we will chart the course to the future that we want and deserve.
Thank you and God bless you.
Oh, my goodness.
You're not.
I'm hired.
Fired.
Wired.
Why does her campaign not tell her to stop this?
And I also think we'd be a lot better off if we actually talked to each other instead of yelling at each other.
I know that we can finish the job of universal health care coverage for every single man, woman, and child.
I know, I know we can combat climate change and be the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.
I know we can make our education system work for every one of our children, especially those who come with disadvantages.
I know we can make college affordable and get student debt off the backs of young people.
I know, too, we can stand up to the gun lobby and get common sense gun safety measures.
I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic.
And we should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.
I am on my way to Texas.
I'm on my way to Texas.
Bill is on his way to Colorado.
The fight goes on.
The future that we want is within our grasp.
Thank you all.
God bless you.
Wait, you want me to tell you what my husband thinks?
My husband is not the Secretary of State.
I am.
So you ask my opinion.
I will tell you my opinion.
I'm not going to be channeling my husband.
Human rights as women's rights.
Human rights as gay rights.
Human rights as worker rights.
Human rights as voting rights.
Human rights across the board for every single American.
You are the reason we are here.
And you are the reason we are going to win the nomination and then win this election together.
Thank you all.
Thank you so very much.
Oh, I got to, hang on.
Let me put my headphones back up.
There it is, the montage of Hillary, partly from today, and then sort of a collection of her screaming.
I have to lower my headphones because it blows my eardrums out.
It gets so loud at times.
You know, this is very interesting.
And this is in the political.
I just saw this.
It sounds like Donald Trump's speech this morning was so powerful that Team Hillary is now scurrying back into their bunker to plot a new strategy.
Politico reports, a constellation of groups in the presumptive Democratic nominee's political orbit is prepping a wide-ranging response to Trump's downtown speech today.
That include a series of memos, rapid response releases, calculated silences designed to paint Donald Trump as both corrupt and a peddler of conspiracy theories.
Well, calculated silences.
You know, that ought to have the Trump campaign on the run.
Calculated silence, to me, sounds like they've been rendered speechless.
Anyway, the Clinton camp itself is not planning to any specific push against Trump's address, but look, he hit everything today.
And this was the right time in the right place.
And frankly, this has got to be the message now throughout the campaign.
And you've got a very corrupt, very dishonest, very weak, very unlikable, very untrustworthy candidate in Hillary Clinton.
Ooh, ooh, oof, oof!
You know?
Oh, stop.
Good grief.
Anyway, it's, you know, the rule of politics, you control the narrative, you control the race.
Now, we'll see what happens and what the fallout of all of this is, but I don't think there's an answer for the Clinton campaign.
Except they're only answering, Donald Trump doesn't have the temperament to be president.
I'm going to give you everything for free.
That's basically what she's running on.
I mean, but Hillary is a horrific, horrible candidate with a horrible track record, no track record really to brag about.
And he has to offer these powerful, pointed criticisms.
And I thought he did a very effective job at it today.
And, you know, it's pretty amazing.
You know, we've also got Trump blasting Hillary for the diploma for dollars scam, $55 million State Department awarded to this Laureate University at the same time they're paying Bill Clinton $16.5 million.
Well, that's called a kickback.
That's illegal in the business world.
Now, half of Bernie Sanders supporters say they will not vote for Hillary Clinton.
A June 14th, Bloomberg Politics national poll of likely voters found that barely half of those who favored Sanders, 55%, actually plan to vote for her.
Instead, 22% say they're going to vote for Trump.
18% like Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson was probably the dullest human being on the face of this earth.
So we'll see if he gets 2% of the vote.
Let's see.
Trump said Hillary needs to go to prison.
You know what's missing here?
Where is the mainstream media in all of this?
When are they going to get on board?
You know, there was an instance that happened today where, remember I keep saying the John Dean of Emailgate, this guy, Brian Pagliano, I keep telling you to remember his name.
He's the one that set up the secret private server in the bathroom of the mom and pop shop closet.
Anyway, he invoked his rights not to incriminate himself.
Remember, he got a proffer offer.
He got an immunity deal because he had pled the fifth before.
Now, this was in relation to Judicial Watch, and the deposition was part of this ongoing lawsuit by this group seeking information about Hillary Clinton's private email server.
And Pagliano is a central figure in the email controversy.
He's widely believed to be the individual who created and maintained the server.
It's not the first time he's invoked the fifth.
And over the last year, Pagliano has twice refused to testify before congressional committees investigating matters related to Clinton's use of private email and the private email server as Secretary of State.
Anyway, so we'll see where that goes.
It's another primary that's hanging out there that none of us have any idea which way it's going to end up going.
So much hypocrisy, so much to talk about.
What else do we have today?
All right, let's get to our busy telephones.
A couple of other issues quick here.
Loretta Lynch says she doesn't know the whereabouts of the Orlando shooter's wife.
Seriously?
You've got to be kidding me.
Now, you suspect that she might be brought up on charges of killing 49 people and that she conspired with her husband to do this, but I have no idea where the hell the guy is.
And she went on to say, our most effective response to terror and hatred is compassion and unity and love.
I mean, listen, there's a golden rule if you're a Christian.
Love God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul, and your neighbor as yourself.
All right, I can deal with that.
But if you think you're going to unite and love terrorists, and that's our most effective response to radical Islamists, you are out of your mind.
Look, I'm all for compassion.
I'm all for unity.
I'm all for love.
I don't even think most people have a clue what the word love means, my own personal cynical self.
But anyway, in the right context, but the idea that compassion, unity, love is going to defeat radical Islamic terrorists, slitting the throats of innocent people and creating rivers of blood is nothing short of absolute insanity.
Let me give you a couple of historical analogies.
Franklin Roosevelt said after Pearl Harbor, as commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense, but always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through absolute victory.
That ought to be our mindset against radical Islam, but you have to first recognize it.
Now, I believe I interpret the will of Congress, he said, and of the people, when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.
Hostilities exist.
There's no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces and with unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us, God.
Winston Churchill at the conclusion of his finest hour speech, and he went on to say, I expect the battle of the hills will fight here, we'll fight there, we'll fight everywhere.
I expect the battle of Britain is about to begin.
Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization.
Upon that depends our British life, the long continuity of our institutions and our empire.
He goes on to say, the whole fury and might of the enemy must soon be turned on us.
Hitler knows.
What is our policy?
I will say it is to wage war by sea, land, and air, with all our might, with all the strength that God can give us, to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalog of human crime.
That is our policy.
You ask, what is our aim?
I can answer in one word.
Victory.
Victory at all costs.
Victory in spite of all terror.
Victory, however long and hard the road may be.
But without victory, there is no survival.
Let that be realized.
No survival for the British Empire.
No survival for all that the British Empire stood for.
No survival for the urge and impulse of the ages that mankind will move forward towards its goal.
But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope.
I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.
At this time, I feel entitled to claim the Adamo.
And I say, come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.
What's missing from FDR and Churchill's speeches?
They're not talking, well, we just got to love the radical Islamists a little more.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, Reda Lynch, I mean, that reflects what they believe.
You know, a bunch of peace nicks, you know, we can avoid conflict if we just love our enemies more as they cut our throats.
They act as if our enemies are civilized and misunderstand us rather than they're bloodthirsty barbarians and reptiles who hate us because of who we are and the values we stand for.
It's beyond alarming.
All right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
We got Dayton, Ohio, WHIO.
Butch is next.
Butch hi.
What's going on, sir?
Hey, Sean.
Hey, listen.
I just wanted to throw out that I'm an Uber driver and I go to the airport every day.
I pick up people from all over the country, all over the world.
That's a cool job, by the way.
Yeah, well, you know what?
If you go to drivewithuber.com, it's a great way to make money.
Oh, yeah, no doubt.
Yeah, big time.
Tell them to put my coat in and I'll get a kick back off that.
But anyway, I think of people.
I had this one lady one time.
We did a whole trip.
She brought up politics.
I usually don't.
She said, what do you think of Trump?
I told her what I felt.
She told me what she felt.
She'd been a Democrat for years.
And she said, there's no way in hell she would vote for Hillary.
And it's like, and I get that a lot from Democrats.
And I mean a lot because I started bringing it up.
I'm going to start getting cameras in the car to work and videotape it as long as they agree to it and stuff like that.
It wasn't a way that I hear on mainstream media about Trump and everything he, you know, they always bring up all the bad stuff.
It's crazy.
It's crazy, crazy.
What a great gig, though.
You get to meet a lot of people.
You make extra money.
You know what?
Good for you.
And you know what?
I'm glad it came, man.
It was a godsend for me, buddy, because I'm getting old.
I got to get off my feet, find something to do.
I can just drive around and make bucks when I want to, take a day off like today when I want to.
It's great, man.
You know what?
I'm glad that they advertise it.
Look, I did all my work in construction and the restaurant business, and there were days I couldn't pay my rent.
I would have loved to have had the ability to drive for Uber.
You know what I found out today?
They actually have a lease program for people that don't even have a car to help you get into business.
That's pretty cool.
The Hillary Clinton foreign policy has cost America thousands of lives and trillions and trillions of dollars and unleashed ISIS across the world.
No Secretary of State has been more wrong more often and in more places than Hillary Clinton.
Her decision spread death, destruction, and terrorism everywhere she touched.
Among the victims of our late ambassador, Chris Stevens, I mean, she, what she did with him was absolutely horrible.
He was left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed.
That's right.
When the phone rang as per commercial at 3 o'clock in the morning, Hillary Clinton was sleeping.
Ambassador Stevens and his staff in Libya made hundreds and hundreds of requests for security.
They were desperate.
They needed help.
Hillary Clinton State Department refused them all.
She started the war that put them in Libya, denied him the security he asked for, then left him there to die.
To cover her tracks, Hillary lied about the video being the cause of death.
The famous video.
All a lie.
Another Hillary lie.
Here's what one of the victims' mother had to say.
I want the whole world to know it.
She lied to my face.
And you know, this person cannot be president.
She cannot be president.
All right.
Of course, that was Donald Trump earlier today giving a powerful speech attacking Hillary Clinton, laying out a comparative vision for the future of America, and had some very tough lines there.
He's talking about Pat Smith, the mother of Sean Smith.
Remember, Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith and Ty Woods and Glenn Doherty died that night, and Hillary was nowhere to be found.
Remember, there had been repeated requests for security that was denied.
And then during the attack, we had on our good friend Tanto Peranto this week.
He was one of the heroes in Benghazi, and he said, in fact, they were given a stand down order, told not to go over and help those people at the consulate.
They went anyway, and that's where Ty Woods and Glenn Doherty lost their lives.
And then we will lie to later, where she said it was related to a YouTube video, and it was a spontaneous demonstration where people just spontaneously pulled out of their pockets RPGs that they were firing at the compound.
Anyway, here to go over the speech is Eric Trump.
He's the son of Donald Trump.
And sir, welcome back to the program.
How are you?
Hey, Sean.
Great being with you, as always.
You know, this was one of the things that I see happening in the campaign is that your dad now is really seems to be spending a lot of time preparing and really giving pointed attacks against Hillary.
And more importantly, I think, too, is laying out his vision on how the country can grow and that we don't have to have 95 million Americans out of work and 50 million in poverty and 46 million on food stamps.
So has something changed?
Listen, I think you're 100% right.
I mean, first of all, I was sitting in front row today, and I was so proud of him.
I mean, we were leaving there today, and just the crowds and crowds of people, I mean, clapping, cheering with signs.
I mean, it was just, it was an amazing sight.
I mean, it was a really, really amazing sight.
And I have no doubt in my mind that he's going to win this thing after seeing what he did today.
I mean, he was just, he was perfect.
I mean, it was spotless.
But, you know, I think he picked apart her record and every aspect of her record.
And quite frankly, it's a disaster.
I mean, you were just talking about Benghazi, obviously, and Mark Eist, one of the survivors.
He's the one that had his arm very badly wounded, if you've seen the movie, et cetera.
But these guys have become friends.
And I mean, the notion that you could leave such courageous people up on a roof to die, you could make up lies about the video, about the cartoon, That you won't pick up the phone call in the middle of the night.
I mean, it's just, it's absolutely disgraceful.
It's not who we need as commander-in-chief.
There were major themes, though, in the speech.
I thought it was particularly powerful on the issue of national security.
He said her decision spread death, destruction, terrorism everywhere she touched.
And then he got specific.
And he pointed out in 2009, before Hillary was sworn in, it was a very different world.
Libya, and this is true, was cooperating with us.
Gaddafi had literally said he's not going to go forward with a nuclear program.
Iraq was seeing a major reduction in violence.
The surge had worked.
There's no doubt.
There's no dispute there.
And Syria was under control.
Iran was being choked by sanctions.
Egypt did have a friendly regime before the Arab Spring.
And then it ended up that Hillary and Obama gave Mohamed Morsi, who once referred to the Israelis as descendants of apes and pigs, and former head of the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization.
Well, Hillary gave him F-16s and tanks and a billion and a half U.S. dollars.
After they gave the Clinton Foundation a ton of money.
And listen, there isn't a single thing.
You could have a child flip a coin, and it would have been more accurate than her foreign policy.
I mean, over the last 10 years, 8, 10 years.
If you look at Iraq, if you look at Libya, if you look at Syria, if you look at Egypt, all of these countries, they're worse off given what we've done and how we've done it.
I mean, it's really, really sad.
And all the while, it has cost this nation trillions of dollars, and all the while it's cost this nation thousands of lives.
And aside from those thousands of lives, the ultimate price, it's also caused thousands of men and women who were wounded in battle and have come back to this country with PTSD and other awful ailments.
And then they come back and we don't even do a good job taking care of them.
I mean, that's the true disgrace.
With the amount of money that we've spent in the Middle East implementing her failed policies, we could have rebuilt our entire country.
And my father was talking about infrastructure today, and I'm so proud that he was, but it's true.
No, it is crumbling.
There's no doubt about it.
And more importantly, look at all the Americans out of work and suffering, and median income down, and home ownership rates are down, and people are.
And by the way, Sean, he hit on that so well.
I mean, he talks about the impoverished inner-city kids, especially minorities in so many cases, and how 56% unemployment in some of these communities.
And at the same time, here she wants to let in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees.
So we can't even take care of our own, but yet we want to let in people into this country, which our intelligence agencies are saying have been infiltrated by the enemy.
I mean, the same type of people who are committing San Bernardino and Orlando and all these other things.
So we're not willing to take care of our own.
We're not willing to invest in our country, but yet we're letting everybody else in here.
I mean, it's truly horrendous.
It is so sad.
This is the level of incompetence that is on the stage to become commander-in-chief of the United States, and it's got to stop.
And I think he did a great job revealing all of her flaws, or so many of her flaws.
I mean, he just knocked out the barbershop.
It really is mind-numbing, isn't it?
When you have the National Director of Intelligence, the FBI director, the Assistant FBI director, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, you have the former envoy, special envoy to defeat ISIS, and you have now the CIA director all saying ISIS is going to infiltrate, just like they did in Belgium and Paris, the refugee population, and she wants a 550% increase in refugees.
If there's one person, if there's one person in that group of 200,000 that could do something like they just did in Orlando or they've done in Brussels or they've done in Paris or any of these other places, if there's one person, you cannot let them in.
And, you know, his message today, Sean, so much of his message was America first.
You know, when are we going to start taking care of our own?
When are we going to start taking care of our vets?
When are we going to start taking care of our military and our infrastructure and our educational system, which is 30th in the world?
I mean, when are we going to start putting American jobs first?
Our wages have been stagnant for so long, you know, and yet these proposals are on the table, and it's really sickening to my father.
And, you know, listen, I've said this to you a hundred times.
He doesn't need this job, right?
He doesn't need this job.
We have an amazing company.
We have an amazing family.
We do the best deals around the world and around the country.
He's doing this, and he's self-funded his campaign thus far because he's fed up of the nonsense.
And, you know, these are the policies that are bringing down this country.
And if you look at NAFTA, if you look at TPP, I mean, she's in the biggest favor of these.
These are stripping our jobs.
I mean, two-thirds of our manufacturing has gone overseas.
I mean, it's insane.
I mean, we don't make anything.
We don't produce anything.
We don't have jobs anymore.
I want to get to that in a second, but I want to stay on ISIS.
You know, this really frustrates me.
And I know your dad, actually, I had your dad on at the time, and we argued about the Iraq war, which I supported and he was against.
But I did agree with him strongly that if we do it, we need to take the oil.
In other words, let them pay for their own liberation.
And more importantly, if Americans lose their legs and their arms and they lose a husband and a son, they deserve to be compensated at the very least.
And we treat our, as your dad often says, we treat our vets horribly.
But if you look at the vacuum created because Obama and Hillary draw a red line in the stand as it relates to Syria, and then they allowed cities like Mosul and Fallusha and Takrit and Ramadi to be taken back, it created the vacuum where they could grow and destabilize the entire region.
And it created an opening for hegemony for a country like Iran to now be the main power in the region.
That is beyond destructive.
It is a total, complete destruction of the entire Middle East, the destabilizing of the entire Middle East.
Listen, there's no question about it.
And I think he's been the biggest proponent of taking that oil.
Listen, if we're going to go fight somebody else's war, we may as well pay ourselves back for it.
And he uses kind of his famous example of General Patton.
I mean, General Patton would be rolling in his grave if he saw what we're doing.
And our military wants to do it.
We have the finest military anywhere in the world.
There's just no question about it.
But the fact that our leaders don't say, hey, listen, guess what?
Go take the oil.
Let's pay ourselves.
Let's pay America back for the sacrifices that it's making to try and create a safer nation for ourselves.
Let's pay ourselves back.
If we're going to go build infrastructure in these countries, hospitals, schools, let's at least pay ourselves back for it.
And it's really baffling that we don't do it.
And it's really been one of his main points the entire time.
And it's not only about paying ourselves back, it's also making sure that those profits from the oil don't go to further fund terror.
And we know it does.
And it's amazing.
If you listen to John Kerry, when we did the $150 billion Iran deal, John Kerry came out point blank and said, we know some of that $150 billion is going to be used against in the war on terror.
If one cent of that $150 billion was going to be used against the United States, you do not release that money.
You simply do not release that money.
Look at what happened in Orlando.
Doesn't this blow your mind?
So they're worried about Americans having Second Amendment rights.
And I've carried my entire adult life.
And yet they're the same administration that gave guns to cartels, kidnappers, and drug dealers with Fast and Furious that resulted in the death of Brian Terry and other people.
They're the same people that released Gitmo detainees, terrorists, to go back in the battlefield.
The same people that gave the number one state sponsor of terror, Iran, $150 billion.
And the same people that funded Mohamed Morsi, the former head of the Muslim Brotherhood, with tanks and F-16s, and they're lecturing Americans about their ability to defend themselves and blaming guns and not radical Islam for what happened in Orlando.
How twisted is that thinking?
It's such a travesty.
You know, we give back five of the worst terrorists, five of the worst terrorists, and we get Berksdale.
I mean, we get a traitor.
We get a guy who deserted his team and went over and ended up getting captured.
And then people went in and there are parents in this country who don't have a child because they had to go rescue a traitor and then we trade five terrorists for one person.
It is such a disgrace, and I think, Sean, you know this, under a Trump administration, when he becomes commander-in-chief, and he is, and he's going to win for all the reasons that we're talking about, this nonsense will end.
I mean, the nonsense will simply end.
One of the things I was glad that your dad took on today was not only Hillary's phony statements like, oh, I landed under sniper fire.
Oops, I was tired.
If your dad did that, or if your dad did a skit with Comrade Bill de Blasio that talked about CP time, we'd never hear the end of it.
But more importantly, talked about the inherent corruption and the money that she's made and Bill has made from China and the Saudis and the money given to the Clinton Foundation, the $153 million in speeches to banks and insurance companies and Wall Street firms and foreign governments and how they are beholden to all of these people.
Yeah.
Well, you know, it's amazing.
When she came out of, when she, you know, when they came out of when Bill came out of office in 2001, you know, the famous quote was, I am dead broke.
You know, she said that.
We are dead broke.
They said they were worth negative $500,000 because they had a mortgage of $500,000, right?
So now they're worth close to $200 million.
They've made $151 million in the last roughly seven years, right?
Between 2007, 2014, so nine years, whatever it is.
What were they selling?
What goods and services were they selling?
It's not like a company like ours where we build a building, we sell an apartment, and if you do well and everything works out, you profit off it.
What goods and services is she selling?
I mean, here she was.
She's a governor and employee.
She's Secretary of State at the time.
She's making hundreds of millions of dollars all while being a government employee.
I mean, tell me that's not a conflict of interest.
And here you see Saudi Arabia, who's the worst abuser of women and minorities and gay groups and everything else.
I mean, a woman can't go out on the street without being escorted by a man.
They don't have women's bathrooms in hotel lobbies because, I mean, it's unbelievable.
Here she is taking $25 million from Saudi Arabia, you know, and then going around and championing women's rights issues.
It's such hypocrisy.
It is so hypocritical.
The refreshing change, though, is that your dad is unlike past Republican candidates that lost.
Your dad's a fighter.
And that's what I saw today.
I saw somebody willing to lay out, compare and contrast their corrupt record, their failures, and also offer a different governing vision.
But I've got to run.
Now, you're also joining us on TV tonight.
So, Eric, we always appreciate your time.
And I thought this was a transformative week for you guys.
And I think it's going to be very interesting to watch how Clinton responds to this.
Yeah, it's been an amazing week, and I'm proud of him, Sean.
The whole family is proud of him.
And we're going to fight every minute of every day to make sure we win.
Well, I want somebody to fight for America.
That's what I'm looking for.
That's what he's doing.
That's what he's doing.
He's doing it for one reason, and that's America.
Eric Trump, thank you.
A lot has been made today over the fact that Hillary Clinton, $41 million raised in the last month, and all goes on and on, but Donald Trump only raised $1.3 million.
Has also been out raising millions of dollars for the RNC and not for himself.
He also says he's a self-funder.
Joining us now is Noel Nick Poor.
She's a national campaign fundraiser.
She herself is running for Congress down in Florida.
Alan Westall's seat, if I'm not mistaken.
How are you?
Hey, I'm doing quite well.
Thanks.
Thanks for having me.
How is the campaign for you going?
Well, the campaign actually, I think I can speak for a lot of Republican candidates, has been overshadowed by the Trump and Clinton show.
I think a lot of national races like Pat Tooney, Kelly Iot, My race, Alan Westold's seat.
I think a lot of people are disappointed that these races are not getting national focus as they should be because everybody is just at awe with the fact that Trump has taken the nomination and Clinton's on the other side.
Well, obviously, that's where the attention is.
And the media, I think, is trying to take Trump down.
And there's even an MRC study that shows how unfair the media has been to all of this.
I mean, imagine if Donald Trump took part in a skit that talked about CP time.
I doubt that he would have gotten the pass that the media gave her, but NBC, ABC, they didn't even cover the story.
What does it mean?
If you're funding your own campaign, it doesn't really matter, quote, how much cash on hand you have, does it?
Yes and no.
I mean, a lot of people look at races and measure it by amounts of funding that you're getting in.
And he's just not, I think he put in $55 million of his own cash.
That's just not enough.
I mean, that's not enough.
Isn't it the type of thing you can put in all throughout the campaign?
It's not like you have to dump it in there all at once.
No, but, you know, the fact that he's not even sending out emails to drum up small donor network is just very bizarre.
And the fact that he hasn't reached out, Sean, to any of the donor base.
He's reached out to a couple of people that I think are closer to him.
But, I mean, I'll give you a hands-on example.
I actually reached out to an operative that I actually know in the campaign, sent her an email and said, by the way, I have three donors that I think that I could do a coordinated phone call to drum up cash for Trump.
Let me know what to do.
I will be out in so-and-so state and I can line these calls up.
Never heard a word.
And then once I got to the state, I said, by the way, I'm in the state.
I'm going to meet with three national donors.
Would you like me to mention something about Trump and maybe coordinating a phone call to raise money for you?
Zero.
Not a thing.
So if this is an example of what's kind of going on within a campaign, they don't seem very interested.
Well, listen, there's a lot of improvements this week.
Number one, I think the speech was really well done today.
I thought he made a very strong case about how dishonest and corrupt they are and how they have benefited from their office and how intertwined they are with lobbyists and certainly foreign countries and CEOs and foreign governments and all the money that they've made and they have enriched themselves by using that office and using that power.
And then he went through the failures in terms of foreign policy and the economy and everything that she's been involved in.
Libya, Iraq.
He talked about Iran and ISIS and terrorism and Syria.
I mean, everything she touched has become a disaster.
But if you're self-funding a campaign and you're worth $10 billion, how much do you need of that $10 billion to spend to win?
Well, the speech was fantastic.
I agree with you.
The speech was point on.
It was great.
But why not capitalize that?
Why not, you know, when somebody gives a dollar to your campaign, they feel connected.
They feel like they've, you know, really helped you, you know, get into the office.
Why not capitalize on the movement?
You're going to need that.
You know, you're going to need that.
You want people to feel like they're included and part of the campaign.
That's the whole point of this.
And as a fundraiser, I just don't think that, you know, to raise money, you have to ask for it.
And apparently he's not asking for it.
And I'm not sure his team is.
He's got a great message, and people are very angry about what's going on with the status quo.
So he is, obviously, he got the nomination.
He is appealing.
In my district alone, in Florida 18, he won the district by over 50%.
But doesn't that mean that that's more money available for you and other Republican candidates, conservative candidates and Senate candidates that are up this year?
We have a pretty tough Senate lineup if you're a Republican this year.
Not necessarily.
And we kind of thought it would start that if they were upset enough, they might start really pouring it out to the senatorial and congressional campaigns.
But it's been very slow and it's been trickling.
This is a very, this is a dynamic year for fundraising and campaigns in general, and we haven't seen anything like it.
And I think, frankly, a lot of donors, mid-level donors and big bundlers, don't really know what to do, and they feel like they don't have much control.
Some of them even think that, you know, these are people that didn't like Trump, and they think, well, what's the use?
We're probably going to lose the Senate, and who knows what's going to happen?
They're so upset.
This is very, it's kind of cutting a new cloth.
Very different, Sean.
All right, Noel Nickpoor.
How can people help you?
They can go on my website, Noel, you know, NickTorreforCongress.com and sign up, help me, donate, get involved.
All right.
Thank you, Noel.
Good luck on your race, and we're going to follow that closely.
800-941-Sean, our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Neil is in Texas.
Neil, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Neil.
I mean, Sean, I'm sorry, I'm going to be a little nervous today.
Listen, you're talking to friends.
Let not your heart be troubled.
What can I do for you?
Well, like I told you this meeting, I am an illegal since 93.
I was brought here when I was 12, basically.
So at the time, you know, I didn't even know that I was an illegal.
Understood.
And your kids are citizens because I know you probably don't like the term anchor baby, but in other words, because they were born here, they are citizens, correct?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
So what's your question?
My question is, what would you do or what would you suggest what Trump should do with people like us?
Me, not only that, I am a farmer, believe it or not.
I farm, I've got lots of guys working for me.
I go to Professor.
I don't know what that beep is.
What's the beep?
Oh, my truck.
I'm sorry about that.
Let me get it off.
There you are.
All right.
Thank you.
Yeah, but like I said, I employ people.
You know, I've got a lot of people.
Here's my answer.
I'm going to give you my short answer.
Look, you sound like a very nice person.
You sound like somebody that we would really love to have.
You're working hard.
You're taking care of your family.
You sound like the exact type of person that we want as part of our American family.
Honestly, I'm being blunt here.
Somebody that works hard, creates jobs.
You're not the problem with the illegal immigration.
But here's the problem we have as a country, is that with open borders, we have 95 million Americans out of work.
One in five families can't have not a single family member working.
Young people can't find jobs.
Men 18 to 34, one in six are in jail or out of work living in their parents' basement.
So jobs are scarce.
You know, Hillary doubled down on keeping 11 million illegal immigrants that have jobs.
The problem is there's a lot of Americans that don't have it.
Now we have to take care of those people.
It gets very expensive.
But the bigger issue is also national security.
Now, what I would do first, and what I've said we've always needed to do first, is secure the border first.
In other words, if you have a leaky boat, what's the first thing you're going to do?
Yeah, exactly.
You're going to plug the hole.
You're going to plug the hole of the boat.
And then what to do with the 11 million people at that point, you know, I think people that are here illegally, there's got to be a system designed that every one of them has to pay for their own background checks, no matter how expensive it may be, if they have any desire to stay here.
Otherwise, they can go home.
It's like I heard a while ago, you know, I want to be an American.
I feel like I'm an American.
I understand.
Listen, I get it.
You're not.
Listen, you know, the thing I worry about is, you know, maybe your parents came across the border.
I don't know how they got here, or maybe they overstayed their visa.
But he's not a fancy visa, but that's the funny thing about it is.
That's how screw up the law is.
He's already a green card.
He did it through one of my different brothers.
But you've got to understand.
You know, so many people enter this country and they don't have the best intentions of America at heart.
And Middle Eastern men are being caught at the border, and I'm not sure they're coming here for jobs.
I would suspect that there might be a possibility that some people that have terrorist intentions might also be trying to cross that border.
So we've got to secure the country first.
And after that, I'm sure the country's going to come to some type of consensus in terms of people that are here illegally.
But it's a meaningless discussion if we keep the border open.
So I hope that answers your question.
I do appreciate your call.
Back to our phones.
Joanne is in Wilton, New York.
Joanne, hi.
How are you?
And we're glad you called.
Hi.
I love speaking to you.
I love listening to you.
You do an awesome job.
Oh, thank you.
Yes.
I'm so excited to be on the phone with you.
I just want to know if there's any way, because you do such a good job and you get the message out there about how crooked she is.
And I just know that Trump is going to destroy her on the debate.
And I'm just worried that she's going to get the sympathy vote.
And what I want is if maybe you have any connections with any other channels that you can let them also report how crooked she is and all these things that she's doing, taking money from these terrorists for her campaign and all of that.
And I also want to.
I can tell you this.
I can tell you that anything, any bit of information, all the Clinton scandals we are covering daily here.
It's part of our vetting process.
You know, it was really interesting because there were a lot of arguments that we have been making right here on this program that I heard in the speech today.
And I was glad in terms of Benghazi, about Clinton lying and being dishonest, about the Clinton Foundation, about supporting countries that have abysmal human rights records and taking money from them and the Quid Pro quo.
And, you know, all of this came up today.
And you know what?
At least he has the courage to take it on.
We've had past Republican presidential candidates that are too weak and too timid and too afraid to tell the truth about who they're running against.
Hillary is in her heart and soul.
She is corrupt.
She's a master manipulator.
She's for the weak-minded.
And all she does is lie straight to their face.
And they don't even realize that they're so gullible.
And they just want to vote for her because she's a woman.
And that's wrong.
That is so wrong.
Plus, I'm committed to get 10 friends and family members on board with Trump voting.
And I'm willing to provide vans to take them to vote on November, in November.
I like that he took it to her, and I like that he laid out his agenda.
I like it.
I think it was the perfect mix.
Anyway, thank you, Joanne.
You made my day.
I appreciate your call.
Thank you.
Tim is in Biloxi in Mississippi next.
Tim, hi, how are you?
We're glad you called.
Great, Sean.
Thank you so much.
To echo what the last lady said, appreciate you getting out there and staying on top of this stuff.
Listen, what I wanted to talk about is the horrible shooting in Orlando and specifically the FBI's reaction or non-action to it.
You know, I watched all the first four press conferences that were held there on Sunday morning, and it didn't matter whether it was state, local, or federal law enforcement, they kept hitting on see something, say something.
See something, say something.
Well, now we know kind of the evolution of how this stuff happened.
The FBI investigated Mateen twice.
The security at Disney World called the FBI on the guy.
The gun store owner called the guy twice.
They're telling us, see something, say something.
Sean, Barney Fife could have stopped this attack if he had wanted to.
So my question is, is it political or is it that level of incompetence in the FBI?
You know, I don't know to the extent, I mean, this is what we know.
We know the guy cheered on 9-11.
We know he said it was associated with Hezbollah and al-Qaeda.
We know that people had warned them, and yet we only had them on the watch list for 10 months and then we took them off.
You know, but we also learned something with my interviews with Phil Haney and others this week, and that is that in 2009, Obama becomes president.
One of the founding members of our Homeland Security Department is telling us that the data that they had been building up since 2003, Department of Homeland Security, that the president and his administration ordered, and Hillary was the Secretary of State at the time, that we scrub the names of Muslims that we had identified that had associations with radicalism.
Now, that's their decision.
That's like blood on your hands to me.
You know, why would we ever give up those names that we had worked so hard, law enforcement worked so hard to obtain, knowing that they represent a clear and present danger to every American?
You know, in the name of political correctness, in the name of what agenda, I don't know.
You know, look, as Trump said today, in four years, Secretary of State Clinton single-handedly destabilized the Middle East.
You know, what happened in Libya, what happened in Syria, what happened in Iraq by giving them a date that we're going to get out, what happened in Egypt, you know, they created a launching pad for ISIS for their terrorism against the West.
They forced out a friendly regime in Egypt, and that's when they supported the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Morsi.
I mean, every single thing that they have done has ended up being an unmitigated foreign policy disaster.
And why?
I'm not sure.
How can so many people that are supposed to be so smart, so they tell us, be so wrong so often?
Because those are the conditions we're living under.
Donald Trump's ideas about the economy and the world will cause millions of Americans to lose their jobs.
The Republican primary featured the Trump immigration plan.
Round up and deport more than 11 million people, almost all of whom are employed or our children going to school, then build a wall across our border and force Mexico to pay for it.
Now, this policy is not only wrong-headed and unachievable, it is really bad economics.
Kicking out 11 million immigrants would cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and it would shrink our economy significantly.
Some economists actually argue that just this policy alone would send us into a Trump recession.
So instead of causing large-scale misery and shrinking our economy, we should pass sensible immigration reform with a path to citizenship.
The other candidate in this race has spent her entire life making money for special interests, and I will tell you, she's made plenty of money for them, and she's been taking plenty of money out for herself.
Hillary Clinton has perfected the politics of personal profit and even theft.
She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund, doing favors for oppressive regimes and many others, and really many, many others, in exchange for cash.
Pure and simple, folks.
Pure and simple.
Then, when she left, she made $21.6 million giving speeches to Wall Street banks and other special interests, and in less than two years, secret speeches that she does not want to reveal under any circumstances to the public.
I wonder why.
Together, she and Bill made $153 million giving speeches to lobbyists, CEOs, and foreign governments in the years since 2001.
They totally own her, and that will never, ever change, including if she ever became president.
God help us.
The choice in this election is a choice between taking our government back from the special interest or surrendering really the last scrap of independence to the total and complete control of people like the Clintons.
All right, that was competing speeches.
Hillary Clinton yesterday, we have 95 million Americans out of the labor force.
We have one in five American families where not a single member is in the workforce.
She's arguing to protect the jobs of 11 million illegal immigrants that she says are working.
Are they taking jobs away from the American people?
Are they driving down wages in a lot of cases?
I would argue the answer is yes.
And there's Donald Trump talking about Hillary Clinton using her office as a personal hedge fund.
Now, of course, the State Department, while she was Secretary of State, did give to a for-profit college $55 million in a grant, Laureate University.
And at the same time, they were paying her husband to be the chancellor $16.5 million, taxpayer dollars.
Is that a kickback?
Is that a quid pro quo?
Also, Donald Trump brought up the issues of blood money, the money he's donated by the Saudis, $25 million of the Clinton Foundation, $10 million of the Clinton Library.
Well, the death penalty is what they have for gays and lesbians in Saudi Arabia.
And of course, women are treated worse than third-class citizens in Saudi Arabia.
She never criticized these countries.
Same with Kuwait.
Same with the UAE.
Same with Brunei.
Same with Qatar.
Same with Omam and other countries.
Anyway, here to go through our news roundup information overload on the competing speeches.
We have Leslie Marshall, Fox News contributor, host of the Leslie Marshall Show, Jeff Lord.
He's the former associate political director of the Reagan administration.
He, of course, writes for the American Spectator and is the author of the book, What America Needs, The Case for Trump.
You know, Jeff, as I looked at this speech today, I said, wow, finally Donald Trump has taken the gloves off, and this is going to be a contrast election.
Sean, this is the speech that Republicans and conservatives have been waiting to hear from a Republican presidential nominee for decades.
This is exactly the kind of speech you would not have gotten from his competitors, I think it's safe to say in the Republican side.
He has gone after them tooth and nail, and he's gone right to the root of it.
The whole business about crony capitalism and how they play this game, the laureate university thing that you mentioned is going to be part of this.
He is going to do this relentlessly.
And if you notice in her speech, she talked yesterday about the Wall Street banks and how she's going to be tough on them.
And yet, of course, as he points out, she's made about $21 million in two years going to these Wall Street banks, hat in hand, giving these secret speeches, refusing to release the transcripts.
This is the game.
This is what they do.
Doesn't that say it all that in a two-year period of time, the Clintons made nearly $55 million in speeches, mostly to Wall Street companies and big banks and big insurance companies, the very people that she says that she's going to be tough on, Leslie, but isn't she beholden to them because she took all that money?
And why the great mystery here?
Why can't she release the transcripts?
Why doesn't she tell us what she said behind closed doors to those people that are paying her $225,000 to $250,000 an hour?
Well, first of all, Sean, she has said that she would release transcripts if Trump and everybody else out there, Bernie Sanders as well, released the transcripts.
I don't know that Donald Trump ever spoke to Goldman Sachs or big banks or big insurance companies.
He's not a speech giver.
No, but Trump also is beholden to Wall Street.
He has hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from Citibank and Goldman Sachs.
Some have been repaid, some have not.
The recent financial disclosures show that he has hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from virtually everybody.
Did he ever get money from these companies, or is that the course of doing businesses?
In other words, financial institutions loan money.
He applied for a loan.
He got the loan.
That doesn't seem like a quid pro quo or corrupt.
Hillary Clinton got paid repeatedly by every big Wall Street firm, by every big bank, by every big insurance company, huge dollars up to $250,000 to $400,000 an hour.
Sean, this is going to, I think, be one of the big issues of this campaign.
There is a difference between capitalism and crony capitalism.
And unfortunately, the Democratic Party's idea of capitalism is crony capitalism.
This is why this is what you saw with Solyndra, for example, where all this money goes to this energy, clean energy thing, whatever it was, solar energy, and back comes campaign contributions to President Obama.
This is how they believe the game works.
This is what I asked.
Would the NRA checks that are written to the Republicans be part of that crony capitalism model?
Well, wait a minute.
Donald Trump is funding his own campaign so that allegation doesn't fly with him.
Well, he's wait, he's funding it for now, but we do know that there were emails requesting fundraising from various sources.
Okay, he has raised money for the Republican Party, but that's very different from raising money for himself.
I mean, most people are making a big deal over the fact that, well, he hasn't raised a lot of money, but he's funding his own campaign.
It's somewhat meaningless because he said he'll spend whatever he needs to spend in the campaign.
And you're avoiding the main point here.
Leslie, how many people do you know repeatedly to the point of in a two-year period make nearly $55 million as a couple that they go in, they do a grip and greet, 100 clicks, a 45-minute speech, and get paid $225,000 to $250,000 for the hour.
And they get a Gulf Stream, and they get all the other perks that go along with that lifestyle.
That is like five years' work for the average American.
She does this.
That's a good question.
However, Sean, that's pretty much the standard rate, as you know, for any former sitting president.
Your last name doesn't have to be Clinton.
It could be Bush.
Okay, then what about this?
Then what about when she was Secretary of State?
Why did the Department of State give all of this money to Laureate University while they were kicking back money to her husband?
First of all, I can't answer that, and that does mean that.
That's the problem.
You can't answer that.
Wait a minute.
One, does that mean it's illegal or dishonest?
And two, does that gain what Donald Trump is not?
I think, let's say I was doing business with the city of New York, okay?
And let's say as part of that business, I got a grant, and then I started kicking back to the people that make the grant.
You don't think that would be viewed as a quid pro quo?
They'd handcuff me, perp walk me, mug shoot shoot me.
I think some people might view it that way, but I think people that view it that way already aren't going to vote for Hillary, so Donald Trump, in a sense, is preaching to the choir.
I don't think so.
No, what people want out there, when you look at the polls and you break it down, what people want is they want specifics on how each of these individuals is going to move forward with regard to the economy, trade-offs.
You know, you sound like Bill Clinton.
You sound like Bill Clinton.
I did not have sexual relations.
I'm going to get back to the work of the American people.
A culture of corruption here that has been going on in Washington, sad to say, with some of both parties for a long time.
This is the reason, one of the reasons, certainly, that Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee.
I mean, let's recall, painful as it may be, that Jeb Bush started this campaign and got, you know, what, over $100 million in the bank, and everybody in the Republican establishment said, oh, well, it's almost over now because he's got all this money, which came from lobbyists.
This is a culture here in Washington, D.C., and in the financial establishment with the government that people have had enough for because they feel, understandably, that they're made to pay the bill for this.
And it's all a bunch of people doing favors for one another.
That's the problem.
How do you judge anybody in the House and the Senate lose their incumbent seat who's up for re-election and How do you justify a country like Saudi Arabia that has, if you're gay or lesbian, you can get the death penalty?
That's the penalty for being gay or lesbian in Saudi Arabia.
You can't build a temple in Saudi Arabia.
You can't build a Christian or a Catholic church in Saudi Arabia.
Women are told how to dress.
They can't drive.
They need permission to work or travel.
Marital rape is not recognized.
Four male eyewitnesses for a woman being raped.
That's what she needs to prove it.
And Hillary Clinton's foundation took $25 million from the Saudis.
The Clinton Library took $10 million from the Saudis.
Up until last week, after she was shamed into it, she mildly criticized them, but she didn't give the money back.
How can you be the champion of women's rights, gay and lesbian rights, of religious freedom, as Hillary claims to be, and take money from countries that oppress women, gays, lesbians, Christians, and Jews?
Okay, Sean, I'm glad you asked me that.
One.
I bet you are.
The Clinton Foundation is very specific with what it does and where the money goes.
And the Saudis know this.
And much of this goes to whether it's preventing sex trafficking, building.
How do you isn't Donald Trump right?
Isn't it blood money?
No, I don't think so.
No, I do.
No, quite frankly, okay, let's put it this way.
Let's put it in a really nasty term, okay?
If Satan gave me money, but I can use that money to feed the hungry, I'll take it.
Well, I'm kind of honestly if it benefits the if it benefits the greater good, but I want to speak to Saudi Arabia.
Stop on that.
I'm a woman.
I am a woman, as you know, and I think it's horrific the way women are treated in Saudi Arabia.
However, albeit very slow, there is progress that is being made in that country.
Really?
Oh.
Yes, yes.
Women, by the way, women can vote.
For the first time, for the first time this year, but women are still told how to dress.
They can't drive.
They're treated as third, fourth-class citizens and cattle, frankly.
And gays and lesbians can be executed.
And as long as you...
Right there, right there.
This is, you know...
You talk about her giving this money back.
I think what she ought to do is take this money and give it to the city of Orlando or the LGBT community.
I mean, this is a country that executes people if they're gay.
And very interestingly, I wrote a column on this for Conservative Review the other day.
The Washington Post had run a list before Orlando of the 10 countries in the Middle East that believe in stoning people to death or executing them in some fashion for being gay.
Well, you match that up with the money to the Clinton Foundation.
I think it was at least five, maybe as many as eight countries have given this money.
I mean, you're right.
This is blood money.
Donald Trump is right.
And they should take that money, get rid of it, and give it to some charity that, you know, affected in Orlando.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
I think a very powerful line he used today.
Here's my promise to the American voter: if I'm elected president, I will end the special interest monopoly in D.C.
And you know what?
Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton, their activities, their enriching of themselves, they're doing deals with the devil, to quote Leslie.
You know what is exactly why people are fed up with all of these Washington people.
And first of all, I don't disagree that people are fed up with Washington, but I don't think that promise can be kept by anybody, quite frankly.
I think it's a nice soundbite and a good campaign promise.
But to Jeffrey's point, there are 74 countries in the world that have illegal, it is illegal to be gay, and there are penalties and punishments.
Now, do I think it's disgusting to have that penalty?
But that's not the point.
You're missing the point.
She ran a State Department.
I've seen a lot of Muslim nations, including Saudi Arabia.
And although Saudi Arabia puts to death people for being gay, they also can put you to death for stealing.
They put you to death for murder.
They put you together.
And she did.
But that's the point.
She takes money, blood money, from countries that treat the very people she's the champion of, so she says, horribly.
That's blood money.
That's selling your soul.
I got to go.
This is the game.
She talks one way, but takes money from the other side.
That's what she does.
That's the whole point.
Americans are going to start believing in the future of our country.
We are going to make America rich again.
We are going to make America safe again.
We are going to make America great again and great again for everyone, everyone.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800-941, Sean, you want to be a part of the program, part of Donald Trump's.
I mean, he just tore the house up today.
And I think probably the best speech since he has been a candidate.
I know a lot of Republicans have been wanting a speech like this for a long time, and he gave it probably harder hitting than any candidate, other candidate would have or been capable of giving.
So we've got to see how this resonates.
You know what's frustrating to me?
I'm thinking about Trump laying out the case against Clinton corruption, against Clinton selling out her office and the money that they've made and the failure in the Middle East, which is now in a shambles since she was Secretary of State.
Everything they've done and they tried in Iraq and Iran and in Syria and the vacuum created for ISIS and helping Mohamed Morsi.
The Middle East has become a disaster, taking money from all of these countries to practice Sharia law.
And I'm thinking, when has Paul Ryan ever criticized Hillary on any of these important topics that Donald Trump laid out today?
I mean, he's quick to criticize Donald Trump every day, every single day.
Lindsey Graham, was he listening to the speech today?
Has Lindsey Graham ever gone after Hillary about her corruption, about the quid pro quos?
Has he ever gone after her foreign policy disasters?
He ever talked about her position on immigration, education, energy, the economy, health care?
No, they just criticized Donald Trump.
There's something so radically wrong within the Republican establishment.
Now, the people are responding differently.
The people are, you know, record numbers went out for Trump.
Unbelievable to me.
All right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
Let us say hi to Marty in Chappaqua in New York, I guess a neighbor of the Clintons.
You ever see the Clintons in town there in Chappaqua?
I don't, Sean.
What I do is I live in Connecticut and I work in White Plains, so I drive right through Chappaqua and I have a four-foot-wide Hillary for Prison banner, and I stand out on the corner with it.
You stand on the corner in Chappaqua with a Hillary for Prison sign?
Sir, yes, sir.
I'm an oathkeeper.
I hope you're familiar with those guys, and that's what we do.
Now, do you work?
How do you have time to stand in the street for hours on end?
Well, I work at the airport, so my hours are variable.
So, you know, I'll get in half an hour, 40 minutes here and there.
And the good thing is, 99% of people going by give me a thumbs up.
Wow.
You know, I think there's, I don't know what I think of polls right now.
You know, polls, national polls are meaningless from this point forward, to be perfectly blunt.
Polls that matter are going to be in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada.
That's what matters now.
Sounds about right.
Hey, have you got time for one more question?
Sure.
I, like I said, I live in Connecticut, so I called Chris Murphy's office the other day to try to get an appointment with him because I'm extremely dissatisfied with him.
The young call screener there told me that, I'm sorry, sir, Senator Murphy doesn't meet with average citizen.
Wow.
They actually said that to you?
They actually said that to me, I swear to God.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, the people that actually, you know, you know, the word public servant, you know, I know this isn't going to mean a lot to people, but at the beginning of Trump's speech, it was very interesting.
I saw a side of him that I'd not really seen before.
You know, and he said, you know, people have asked me why I'm running for president.
I built an amazing business.
I love my business.
I work side by side with my kids every single day.
We come to work together.
We try and turn visions into reality.
We think big.
We make it happen.
We love making it happen.
And I love what I do.
And I'm grateful beyond words to the nation that has allowed me to do it.
So when people ask me why I'm running, I very quickly answer, I'm running to give back to this country, which has been so very good to me.
You know what?
I believe him, actually.
This is costing him money.
He's losing a fortune in this deal.
He's not going to make money here.
Vanessa, New Mexico.
Hi, Vanessa.
How are you?
We're glad you called.
Thank you very much.
It's great to talk to you.
I just wanted to echo just everything that's been said.
And I'm so thankful that he is a fighter and that he's not afraid to talk about things that we've been silenced about and afraid to talk about for the past 20 years.
And I hope that once he secures the nomination at the convention that from then on that he shows, encourage him, I know you have a relationship with him, to show a lot of clips from 13 Hours over and over again and bring up the family members that Hillary Clinton lied about and lied to and let them talk to the people, you know, American people, especially the 18 to 30 year olds who don't know the level of her corruption and evil.
And I hope he lines up all those women that Clinton, Bill Clinton has sexually assaulted or raped what they do.
Hey, Vanessa, trust me, I'm all over it.
Cool.
But remember, timing is important in life.
Absolutely.
Okay.
And you know what?
We're now heading into the summer.
We got the conventions.
Then we've got things really heat up after Labor Day.
I'll be ready.
I promise you.
I'm all over it.
All right.
Thank you, Vanessa.
Don and Lake Ron Concomo.
Welcome aboard, my friend.
How are you?
Hey, Sean.
It's always great to talk to you.
Yeah, I heard Donald Trump's speech today, and it was great to finally hear someone calling her out better than any other GOP leader has so far.
I, you know, for years, how many years have we said Republicans are timid and weak and they don't fight?
You know, I'm so sick and tired of Republicans on their heels and afraid to say it and afraid to get, oh, the media is going to criticize me.
Well, you know, he just stated the cold hard facts that the mainstream media ignore.
You know, that's a good point.
There's so much in that speech today that if the media did their job, they would be investigating what we've been doing on this program, the amount of money she's got paid, who's been paying her, the groups that are paying her.
We'd investigate her failed record in Syria and in Libya and in Iraq and Iran and all of these failures and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Then we'd be looking into, you know, why did she take money from countries that treat women and gays and lesbians and Jews and Christians horribly?
Exactly.
He finished up his speech with saying that she lacks the temperament, the judgment, the competence to lead our country.
He went into her being a world-class liar about her email server, her phony landing surpassing you.
You know the whole routine, but it was really great to hear him really hit her hard between the eyes with that.
My only concern is, and I was wondering about you, Sean, do you have any concern that when he does meet her face-to-face in a debate, that the Rick Laszlio effect may take place?
Yeah, of course.
You've got to always worry about that.
I mean, Rick Lazio ran against her in the Senate.
Right.
And you would think it was the worst thing he ever did.
He walked across the stage and handed her a piece of paper, and it was like, he's offending a woman.
This is outrageous.
He violated her airspace.
Violated her airspace.
Right.
He broke the rules.
Do you think that'll apply this time?
Yeah, I think for the media and for liberals, sure.
For the rest of the country, I think most people are a little more serious than maybe they were at that time.
I think people have picked up.
The country's headed down the tubes.
I think it is a different time.
Look, America is in a steep decline.
And I could sit here all day and talk about it.
I'm concerned about the people that don't have jobs, that are in poverty, on welfare, whose kids were robbing blind.
I'm concerned about a country that's military has deteriorated, who's weak, a foreign policy disaster after disaster.
I mean, I could go about my daily life and go play golf every day.
Not that I would want to ever do that, but to me, we.
I wake up every day, Sean, going, okay, what next?
Yeah, pretty much.
So true.
All right, Big Don.
Thank you.
Barbara Baltimore, WCBM Radio.
What's going on, Barbara?
How are you?
Hey, Sean, thank you so much.
You have a fantastic show today.
Listening to all your fantastic callers.
And, you know, as I told the call screener, I just want to thank you for doing exactly what you said.
You stayed down the middle.
You didn't choose sides.
And you showed the fact that I'm telling you, your show is the one thing that keeps me on the Fox channel now.
I've got to say.
Look, I appreciate at CPAC, and I put it up on our website.
I don't know if it's still up there.
I put on my website what I said at CPAC in 2015.
And I said, I'm going to give as much airtime as possible on radio and TV to all 17 candidates.
I did that.
I said in 2016, I don't know who's going to win, but I'm going to support the nominee, the person that we, you, the people, choose.
And I'm now fantastic.
Well, we thank you.
And I got to tell you, I think you made a very good choice.
I think Donald Trump would be a good president.
I think he'd be.
Absolutely.
And, you know, it was great hearing his son, Eric.
I listened to him today, listening to his speech and the question of why he's doing it.
Yeah.
He said you believe, and because he could go to Mar-a-Lago and play golf and have the same fantastic life that he has right now.
And that's why I implore all of your listeners, go to his website and send $10.
You know, look.
$10.
He never asked for that.
I guess if he does at some point, a lot of people would be glad to donate.
But I got to tell you something.
People don't understand this.
Now, don't feel sorry for me.
I'm not meaning it this way.
It is much harder to be in the public eye than I think most people know and to be in the public eye to the degree that a presidential candidate is.
I have deep, deep respect for people that are willing to put themselves out there and get hammered every single day, and that's just part of the game.
That's the way the game's played.
And so it's not an easy thing to put your life on hold and go out there and never knowing what the result is going to be.
And we had 16 really great Republicans that didn't win.
And I admire the fact that they went out there and fought for it.
Thank you, Barbara.
God bless you.
You're an awesome caller.
We appreciate it.
Tracy is in Katy, Texas next.
Tracy, a liberal.
What's up, Tracy?
Okay, first of all, this is laughable.
I saw Donald Trump's speech, and I call it the throw the kitchen sink at it.
And it was laughable.
Yeah, I see.
He's trying to pivot.
He talked from a teleprompter.
He tried to rein himself in.
He said everything about Hillary Clinton.
Oh, that's great.
I love it.
I want him to stay there.
I want him to do just what he's doing.
Why?
Because it's not amounting to nuts.
Right now i'm looking at a Hillary Clinton speech, but she is.
She came out, she spoke about him.
Yeah, Hillary's looking at a teleprompter.
Hillary does every speech with a teleprompter.
She's using a teleprompter because she looks better, and here's the most thing.
No, I don't.
This is different.
This is a different scenario.
This was a serious speech and she's given a rally a rally.
You know.
Donald Trump doesn't use teleprompters at his rallies.
He's safe.
Listen, everything that's happening right now.
I'm going to be good with the Mexicans and his numbers is 90 disapproval.
I'm going to be good, the black 90.
Just, i'm good with money and give me the poll that you.
I haven't seen the poll that you're quoting.
Which poll are you quoting?
He says he's got.
No, I asked you, whoa whoa, whoa you.
You quoted a poll.
Which one did you quote?
Which poll are you talking about?
Because I didn't see those numbers anywhere.
What poll is?
It's looking at FOX and i'm looking at.
No, you're not.
You're not looking at FOX, because that's not.
He's doing bad with Hispanic okay, but you just made up those numbers.
You make up numbers because it advances your agenda, so that means you're a liar.
So say you're sorry for lying, or else i'm gonna hang up on you if you say he's doing.
Say you're sorry, say you're sorry for making up those numbers, or i'm gonna hang up on you.
You did polling, all them.
No, there's.
No, there's no poll that verifies that.
Nice try, you want to apologize?
Or do you want me to hang up on you?
Why should I apologize?
I'm looking at them, polls no no, you're not going to hang up.
You can hang because you don't want to believe it.
You want to accept it?
There's no, there's no poll that showed those numbers that you're citing.
So thank you very much for being a political hack making stuff up.
Uh, back to our phones.
We have about a minute.
Kendrick, in Lake City, Florida.
Kendrick, how are you, hey Sean, how you doing?
Buddy, i'm good.
What's, going on?
Hey man, there's a few things I want to touch on.
Uh, you know i'm from Florida, so the Orlando thing was, you know essentially, in my backyard i've got a buddy that lives uh, you know, blocks down the road from polls um, so I want to get back on that.
And you know, one thing that seems to be, you know, common is that every single country in the world has to account for radical Islam, every country, even Muslim countries.
So why is it that we are unable to do that?
You know what I mean.
I'm just not sure why.
Uh, you know, Loretta Lynch feels the need to, you know, play with the tapes of the 911 calls.
I don't know why we're defending a country, I mean a religion, that every country accounts for.
Um, so that's one thing I wanted you to address.
Um, another thing I wanted to uh talk to you about is, you know, as far as the, the liberals calling for gun regulations?
If that isn't tyranny, I'm not sure what is.
And you can correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm only 23 years old, so I may be out, but I'm pretty sure folks.
Look, there are people that want to practice their religions and peace.
There are people, though, that want to kill us.
And we've got to understand the common denominator.
Second thing is, if somebody breaks into your house or goes into the club that you're hanging out with trying to have a good time or goes to a meeting like in San Bernardino, you should have the right to defend yourself.
