	All right, glad you're with us back in Philly, day three now of the chaos, corruption, confusion, and I guess after last night, Black Lives Matter convention.
	800-941-Sean is a toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program as we begin today.
	Let's see, we've got the latest polling now has Donald Trump surging into a substantial lead over Hillary Clinton.
	A new USC LA Times presidential election poll released today shows that Donald Trump has 47% support among likely voters.
	Hillary Clinton, 40%.
	The largest lead Donald Trump has had thus far in the 2016 race.
	Now, it reflects a lot of things, not the least of which is the bounce that you might expect in a pretty flawless Republican National Convention in Cleveland last week, but also a continuing trend that began in the weeks before, and that is Hillary Clinton has been on defense.
	The revelations by the FBI director James Comey that she would not face a criminal prosecution.
	And Trump has now led throughout most of the month, with the exception of a slight Clinton lead on July 20th, which was the third day of the Republican National Convention, followed by a ridiculous 48-hour news cycle that never focused on Joe Biden's plagiarism, which was extreme, and Obama's plagiarism, which was extreme, but no Melania Trump.
	So Clinton may enjoy, I guess, a bounce after the DNC, but we'll have to wait and see.
	While it may have gone over well in the crowd last night as they were chanting Black Lives Matter, I just was raised a Christian and I just happen to believe that every life matters, even life in the womb, for that matter.
	Let me tell you what the latest controversy is.
	Donald Trump gave, I thought, probably his best press conference today, and yet the media is going apoplectic, absolutely insane.
	Now, Donald Trump, at one point, was being asked if it's Russia.
	In other words, the DNC emails.
	And he was very frank.
	He said, well, if it's Russia, it's bad.
	And it's bad for a different reason.
	It means that Russia has no respect or fear of the United States at all under the current state of leadership.
	Now, the media's argument here is, well, he used one line, Russia, if you're listening, and I hope you're able to find the 30-some-odd thousand emails that are missing.
	And staring directly into the cameras, I think you'll probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
	Well, that is probably in doubt, too, but we've got to be real here.
	The media's got the whole thing wrong.
	They're purposefully distorting this whole thing, which is what they do.
	And I'll get into more examples in a minute.
	How is it possible for them to now, at this point, if Donald Trump, if the argument is that Donald Trump just encouraged a foreign entity, an enemy state, but I thought the reset worked, to hack into Hillary Clinton's email server and find the 33,000 emails that were about yoga, a wedding, a funeral, and conversations with Bill Clinton on email, even though he does an email.
	How is it even possible that he's requesting that, considering everybody knows that the server doesn't exist anymore?
	That the emails also, too, were deleted.
	So the argument on the surface is just false and wrong, and it's the media desperately trying to help save Hillary Clinton from the mess she now finds herself in.
	Now, Trump is assuming that the Russia hacking is already done.
	Now, James Comey has said as much himself repeatedly.
	Now, at different points during this email server scandal, I had been reading to you article after article that is beyond likely.
	And as a matter of fact, I think it was Mukese who said that he would be shocked if anybody didn't hack into them.
	And a lot of other people in the intelligence community have suggested there's no way they didn't hack into it.
	She's walking around with her iPhone, her iPad, and her BlackBerry and every other device, claiming she only has one device, et cetera.
	What Trump is saying here is that it had to have been done already.
	And that if they do have them, they don't have any respect for this country, which would be true.
	And if they do have them and they release them, yeah, the media in the country would probably like to see whether or not these emails, 30 plus thousand of them, were about a wedding, a funeral, about yoga, and about emailing somebody who doesn't have an email address.
	So I think that's what's telling here.
	Now, does anybody seriously think that Vladimir Putin needs any encouragement to try and hack into our national security files?
	Does the New York Times think that Putin is just sitting around the Kremlin waiting for Donald Trump to give him the okay to unleash hackers on Hillary Clinton in the United States?
	You know, does anybody seriously think that we're not trying to do the same thing to their top officials?
	You got to be frank and honest here.
	So Trump, knowing that the server doesn't exist, because we all know that, Trump knowing that the emails were deleted, because we all know that, because that was at the heart of the entire email server scandal, why did she delete half of them?
	That was the whole thing.
	The New York Times reports it this way.
	Trump's call was an extraordinary moment at a time when Russia is being accused of meddling in the U.S. presidential election.
	His comments came amid questions about the hacking of the DNC's computer servers, which researchers have concluded was likely the work of two Russian intelligence agencies.
	Well, that's not Donald Trump's fault.
	He's not the one that is not protecting data.
	That's a Hillary Clinton problem.
	That's a DNC problem.
	And that's an American problem that we're not protecting and countering the computer and social media espionage of the Soviet Union.
	And we're not taking it seriously.
	Just like we don't take ISIS, the JV team, seriously, which is why they weren't mentioned with 61 speakers in the first day of this convention.
	Anyway, let's go to Trump's comments and we'll come back from there.
	What do I have to get involved with Putin for?
	I have nothing to do with Putin.
	I've never spoken to him.
	I don't know anything about him other than he will respect me.
	He doesn't respect our president.
	And if it is Russia, which is probably not, nobody knows who it is.
	But if it is Russia, it's really bad for a different reason.
	Because it shows how little respect they have for our country when they would hack into a major party and get everything.
	But it would be interesting to see, I will tell you this.
	Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.
	I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
	I hope you find them, not go get them, not commit espionage, because the server and the emails we have been told have been destroyed.
	And not even the FBI was able to recover the emails that were deleted.
	Now, let's go back because this is important.
	Hillary Clinton made numerous statements about this server scandal, all of which turned out to be a lie.
	Now we have a montage of what Hillary Clinton told you, the American people, what Trey Gowdy was asking James Comey, the FBI director, about the results of his investigation.
	And Comey confirmed that Hillary lied repeatedly again and again and again and again to you, the American people.
	Listen to this.
	I had not sent classified material nor received anything marked classified.
	Secretary Clinton said she never sent or received any classified information over her private email.
	Was that true?
	Our investigation found that there was classified information sent.
	So it was not true.
	But I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received.
	Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails, either sent or received.
	Was that true?
	That's not true.
	There were a small number of portion markings on, I think, three of the documents.
	I never sent classified material on my email, and I never received any that was marked classified.
	Secretary Clinton said I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email.
	There is no classified material.
	Was that true?
	There was classified material emailed.
	People across the government knew that I used one device.
	Maybe it was because I am not the most technically capable person and wanted to make it as easy as possible.
	Secretary Clinton said she used just one device.
	Was that true?
	She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as Secretary of State.
	But we turned over everything that was work-related.
	Every single thing.
	Personal stuff, we did not.
	I had no obligation to do so and did not.
	Secretary Clinton said all work-related emails were returned to the State Department.
	Was that true?
	No, we found work-related emails, thousands that were not returned.
	All I can tell you is that when my attorneys conducted this exhaustive process, I did not participate.
	Secretary Clinton said her lawyers read every one of the emails and were overly inclusive.
	Did her lawyers read the email content individually?
	No.
	All there for you to see and hear that she lied again and again and again.
	And go back to Donald Trump's statement.
	I hope they find it.
	Well, meaning they have already got it or they're never going to have access to it because it's no longer available because the server does not exist.
	This is absolutely impossible the way this is being spun by the media.
	But that is how desperate they are here to do anything to try and lift what Bill Clinton couldn't do last night.
	I mean, it's pretty amazing that, you know, and I said this yesterday, that, you know, this entire 2016 presidential election, when written, finally may come down to a six-letter word, not a three-letter word, J-O-B-S jobs, but emails, a six-letter word.
	This is what this whole thing may end up coming down to.
	It may come down to a media, whether they like it or not, that are brought kicking and screaming into knowing and learning the truth about how bad things are and how bad things were and how corrupt things are and how many lies that have been told in the process of them trying to accumulate and trying to gain power.
	Because this is what the Clintons do.
	This is what they have always done.
	You know, I'm watching media coverage here.
	They are going insane because they're trying to save the Clinton campaign.
	Just like they did for Obama in 2007 and 2008, when I told you journalism is dead, they have now gone full bore into Donald Trump is asking Putin to hack into Hillary Clinton's email server.
	The server doesn't exist.
	How stupid are you, people in the media?
	How in the tank are you for Hillary Clinton?
	You know, NBC asking Obama, MRC had a good piece on all of this.
	Is it frightening that Trump, Mr. Obama, may have the nuclear codes?
	Well, it's more frightening than a guy that hung out with Ayers and Dorn and Reverend Wright and was a radical Alinskyite disciple and an Acorn organizer has it to me from my perspective.
	Washington Post editor warning of a vast conspiracy.
	Avoid talk of Bill Clinton's tendencies.
	Univision reporter blatantly misstating Hispanic media surrogate ratios.
	An Atlantic writer claiming Hillary's high negatives are signs of sexism.
	And I can keep Joy Reed.
	Hillary Clinton is going to teach us a lesson on sexism in this election.
	Really?
	Well, what about the DNC emails that call women bimbos?
	Or ABC cheering, set politics aside for Hillary's epic milestone.
	They're trying to duplicate the rise of Barack Hussein Obama, CNN Giddy, by Bill's workaholic, do-gooder, you know, depiction of Hillary.
	She has no real accomplishments.
	He didn't mention the four dead Benghazi heroes.
	She didn't mention she denied them security before.
	She denied the help during the attack and the lies and cover-up afterwards.
	Networks cheering, happy tears.
	Hillary, the glass ceiling has been shattered.
	You know, applauding Bill.
	Vintage Bill telling a family story at a bar.
	It's a story, all right?
	What you heard last night was fiction.
	Or Van Jones preferring when Democrats exploit mothers' griefs.
	You know, you have, I feel sorry for Michael Brown's mother.
	I feel sorry for Trayvon's mother.
	I feel sorry for Eric Gardner's mother.
	But you know what?
	There's not one person in that hall that probably can name, unless they know him personally, any of the 3,470 dead people in Chicago since Obama's been president.
	Why?
	Why just Michael Brown, Trayvon, Eric Gardner all the time?
	Because that fits a racial political narrative.
	And enchanting Black Lives Matter in the hall last night, the group that said, what do we want?
	Dead cops, when do we want them now?
	And Hillary, you know, I say every election, Democrats will appeal.
	They'll say Republicans are racist, sexist, anti-gay, want dirty airwater, and want to kill grandma and children.
	Well, that's part of it.
	This was now an appeal to motivate the base of Barack Obama that they're worried about in this election, and they have aligned themselves with some of the most radical people in the country.
	And they're buying into it.
	I actually believe that all lives matter.
	And if you look at, you know, Andrea Mitchell, so compelling, Mrs. Obama's speech.
	And it goes on from there.
	It's just so typical.
	Anyway, we'll get back to all of this today.
	Newt Gingrich is on the program.
	Ami Horowitz actually went out.
	Wait till you hear the answers.
	He did Man on the Street.
	What do you think?
	Who's more dangerous, Donald Trump or ISIS?
	Well, people here think Donald Trump, not ISIS.
	But don't forget, we need a terrorist jobs program, jihadi's jobs program.
	And don't forget that air conditioners are more dangerous than ISIS, according to John Kerry.

	Now, let me go back and take you back to 2008, before the election, September 17th, to be specific.
	The New York Times, as an example, as you watch this full-blown meltdown over Donald Trump calling on Russia.
	Now, remember, their argument is he is asking Vladimir Putin, they're going apoplectic, to hack into Hillary's email server and get the 33,000 emails she deleted.
	Well, there's one problem: Hillary said they don't exist anymore.
	She deleted them.
	The other problem is the FBI got what they can get.
	They can't get anymore.
	The next problem is the server doesn't exist.
	So it's what he's saying: even though they have them, release them, the media will go nuts, which is absolutely true.
	So, but you know, so they're in full meltdown mode, and it's very strange because back in 2008, before the election, they actually applauded.
	Do you remember Governor Sarah Palin and her email was broken into by a hacker back in 2008?
	The New York Times, now they are the ones most outraged over Trump's comments today, went so far as to publish details from Palin's hacked email account.
	Whoa, hang on, double-standard media bias hypocrisy alert.
	So, the New York Times, this is how they covered it back in 08.
	Notice the distinct lack of outrage that they are now showing today.
	The New York Times computer hackers broke into the private Yahoo email account of Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate.
	They posted some of her messages and a long list of contacts on the internet.
	The website WikiLeaks posted screenshots of Ms. Palin's inbox displaying her username and messages that were reportedly obtained by a group of hackers.
	The emails include exchanges between Governor Palin and the Alaska Lieutenant Governor Sean Pornell, as well as an associate, Amy McCorkle, who Mrs. Palin appointed to the State Drug and Alcohol Advisory Board.
	Wired magazine reported on its internet privacy blog that the threat level, that it obtained confirmation that Ms. McCorkle, that she did, in fact, send the message to Governor Palin.
	Well, hang on, there's one thing missing here.
	Where's the outrage?
	Where's the indignation?
	You know what I'm beginning to think here?
	And you may think I'm absolutely nuts for saying that.
	You know what I think is really going on in this?
	I think Hillary's goal at this point is to get the FBI to open an espionage investigation into Donald Trump to level the playing field so they can say, well, I'm not the only one that's under investigation for espionage.
	She's the one that made this decision.
	She's the one that knew better.
	She's the one that lied repeatedly about it.
	She is the one that set up this server, had these emails.
	Yes, some were classified.
	Some were even at the highest level of classification, special access program classification.
	And she is the one that made it available to hackers to have.
	Now, we're told they're gone.
	How could it be that Donald Trump is calling on Vladimir Putin to hack into something that doesn't exist?
	It is the most insane, desperate attempt of the media in this election cycle to go out there and do the bidding for Hillary Clinton.
	Now, I know that Bill tried his best last night.
	He had Bill Clinton up there, and I want to talk about my little pumpkin, my little sweetheart, my little babe.
	I want to tell you how we met.
	You know, so I go up and I register, and I'm going with Hillary, and she registers.
	It was an embarrassing moment.
	And the lady says to me, and she goes, Hey, Bill, you were just here this morning.
	Register.
	It's the cutest story I've ever heard in my whole life.
	Okay, Juanita Broderick talks about being raped by Bill Clinton twice.
	Well, of course, the New York Times did the story on Carrie Prejan and Donald Trump's former girlfriend, and it turns out they're 100% wrong.
	I'm still waiting for the investigation into the Clinton women.
	Now, I saw you watch Bill Clinton up there, frail as he is.
	Frankly, it was kind of sad.
	He seems like a shadow above his former self.
	But anyway, he's up there, you know, doing his thing, the personal Bill Clinton.
	Bill Clinton fell short last night of his goal because it's a difficult sales job.
	After 30 some odd years in the public eye, the narrative on Hillary Clinton is set.
	You can't change the perception, especially after the email server scandal, the Benghazi scandal, the lies that have been told, the lies that have been proven to be lies.
	You can't change perception.
	And as good a politician as Bill Clinton once was, what he was doing last night was creating a cartoon image of his wife, the candidate, that was, it's all image making.
	It's all Hollywood.
	You know, that's why, you know, the Trump, the RNC convention was dark.
	Donald Trump told the truth.
	Donald Trump said, yeah, millions more Americans are in poverty on food stamps and out of the labor force.
	And we've doubled the national debt.
	And we're dependent on foreign countries for oil.
	And by the way, ISIS is a real threat.
	And radical Islam is an evil that must be defeated in our day.
	And that, yeah, Obamacare, we aren't keeping our doctors.
	We're not keeping our plans.
	And we're paying a hell of a lot more.
	We're not saving any money.
	And schools are an absolute disgrace in this country.
	Okay, maybe it's dark, but tell me the truth because you can't fix something unless you know the truth.
	The truth shall set you free at some point.
	It's unbelievable.
	Anyway, so, you know, the elephant in the room last night for Bill Clinton is the fact that, you know, he may have married his best friend, but he also cheated on her again and again, probably so many times nobody could ever count it.
	So this and he has a girlfriend now, the energizer.
	The Secret Service has even named her in Chappaqua.
	I'm not saying he doesn't love his wife.
	It's none of my business what their marriage relations are.
	Have sexual relations with that woman.
	I'm not getting into this.
	All right, thank you anyway, Jason.
	It's an elephant in the room here.
	You know, what I'm saying here is, I don't know if they love each other.
	It's not for me to say.
	It's none of my business.
	But I am saying that the image making last night, the narrative last night of the two people that fell in love whose hearts were knit together as one is incomplete.
	You cannot ignore, you know, 20 years in the public eye about what we now know about Bill Clinton and the things involving Monica and Jennifer and Paula and Kathleen and Dolly Kyle and Juanita Broderick anymore.
	I'm sorry we are being asked into this Alice in Wonderland fairy tale that just isn't true and it's an image that is at odds with what truth and reality is.
	If you're going to try and humanize her, I guess it's perfectly fair for us to insist that you actually make a portrait that is an accurate one.
	And in this case, it was not an accurate portrait.
	That's just a fact.
	You know, Bill said last night that the real Hillary is someone who leaders from around the world know to be able, straightforward, and completely trustworthy.
	And I'm listening and I'm watching the crowd.
	Yay!
	They're so happy.
	They're giddy.
	They're getting their Obamagasm again.
	They are literally worked up with the chanting of hope and change and change and hope and yes, we can and can we, yes.
	Where do you see Obama tonight?
	They're going to go nuts in that hall.
	They were the same hall chanting Black Lives Matter.
	How about all lives matter?
	You know, by the way, trustworthy, what is a person like Hillary Clinton considered trustworthy?
	Anybody remember the Benghazi lie?
	She tells her daughter, the Libyan president, the Egyptian prime minister, terror attack.
	She tells us, oh, it's related to a YouTube video.
	They were watching this thing in real time.
	She did nothing to help the ambassador or the people in Libya before this happened, the 600 request, you know, gave no order to go support them.
	She was too busy telling our brave men and women in uniform to get in their uniforms, get out of their uniforms, get in their uniforms, get out of their uniforms.
	She never sent them to help.
	They're watching this in real time.
	She didn't pull out when the Brits pulled out and the Red Cross pulled out.
	So we've got a circumstance here on top of that where James Comey, as I just played in the last half hour, who serves at the pleasure of a Democratic president, completed a criminal investigation that indicated that Hillary acted recklessly in setting up unsecure email, an unsecure email server, suggesting again and again that, yeah, our enemies likely hacked into it, and that she told lie after lie after lie to cover up what it is she had done.
	And that's just one slice of a very, very large, lifelong pie of Hillary.
	That defines her.
	That defines her career, intertwined with Bill's.
	It's characterized by lie after lie, cover-up after cover-up, scandal after scandal.
	Now, then there's Bill, his effort to portray her as an agent of change, the best darn change maker I've ever met in my entire life.
	This is a woman who embodies the status quo.
	She is the pillar of political establishment.
	She is the definition of more of the same.
	And if you're a Bernie supporter, you know better than anybody how corrupt she is, how cronyism works in Washington.
	That's what all of this was about, disenfranchising Bernie Sanders supporters.
	The whole issue of super delegates, the fix was in from day one.
	The whole thing is ludicrous.
	She can be described as a change agent.
	And Bill portrayed her tenure as Secretary of State as one of success.
	You would think she was Henry Kissinger.
	That's a bunch of baloney.
	Her failures have piled up a mile high like a 100-car wreck on an icy interstate.
	You know, I need only refer to the countries where she failed, Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, the Islamic State, Iran, Yemen, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, the Russian reset, Ukraine, the South China Sea.
	You know, four Americans dead in Baghazi.
	Well, at this point, what difference does it make?
	She's amassed an extraordinary record of failure, starting when she was the first lady, pushing Hillary care on the nation.
	Her tenure as Secretary of State, I can't think of a single accomplishment.
	And Bill tried to turn this lemon into lemonade.
	And he's probably one of the most gifted politicians that have ever been out there.
	He couldn't pull it off because it's an impossible task.
	So now the media is rushing in and they're trying to shift the narrative to, well, Donald Trump is encouraging Vladimir Putin and the Russians to hack into her server and get those 30,000 emails.
	Hillary said the server's dead.
	The government said it's gone.
	The emails supposedly were deleted.
	How can he ask Vladimir Putin to do something and pull something literally out of thin air?
	And you have Chelsea Clinton.
	You know, I asked Ivanka Trump about Chelsea Clinton.
	She said, nice person.
	But now Ivanka is being attacked by Chelsea.
	And Chelsea Clinton saying last night that Ivanka needs to ask her father how he would fight for equal rights for women.
	And I'm thinking, okay, what about all the stories and reports that women that work for Hillary Clinton on her campaign staff at the State Department were paid dramatically less than men, not to mention women executives at the Clinton Foundation.
	Oh, that didn't come up.
	We see that, by the way, hours after last night became the Black Lives Matter night at the DNC.
	Oh, and we had Prosecutor Mosby here yesterday talking.
	By the way, I feel for the mother of Trayvon Martin.
	I feel for the mother, you know, in that case, but there was an eyewitness that said that Trayvon Martin was grounding and pounding George Zimmerman's head into the cement, hence the screaming, that you're dying yell that we had on tape.
	We do have black eyewitnesses that said that, yeah, the guy that we have on videotape robbing that store and assaulting that clerk, yeah, that's the same guy that tried to fight Darren Wilson for his gun where the first gunshot went off, and that he ran away, and then he charged at the officer repeatedly.
	Oh, let's bring, but we won't bring, I didn't see any wives or any sons and daughters of policemen who were slaughtered on our streets protecting and defending our way of life.
	They weren't invited up there last night.
	I didn't see any of the families of the 3,470-plus individuals killed in Chicago.
	I bet nobody in this audience knows their names unless you watch my television show because we scroll them.
	Names you've never heard Barack Obama talk about because it doesn't fit a political narrative.
	It doesn't fit a Democratic Party narrative.
	You know, Hillary obviously is playing identity politics and the whole purpose of associating with Black Lives Matter and only using select examples that advance their racial narrative, which is the Democrats, as I predict every four years, every two years, they play the race card.
	You know, go back to Al Gore, Republicans, they don't even want you.
	They don't even want to count black people in the census, he said, speaking before a predominantly black audience.
	Or the James Byrd ad in 2000, or the 1998 radio ad, Republicans are elected, black churches are going to burn.
	Well, that was the equivalent last night, embracing a group that is well known for saying, what do we want dead cops?
	When do we want them now?
	That's what happened here last night.
	This was all about, you know, let's try and stir up passions and get people to vote for me because we're only selectively talking about high-profile cases that fit a racial narrative.
	But let's ignore the thousands and thousands and thousands of other people, many who happen to be black, that are being killed on our streets because that doesn't advance the cause.
	Just like that's the reason why Obama, you know, he's well outspoken in Cambridge, Trayvon Martin, Ferguson, Freddie Gray, but he says next to nothing about Chicago where there's so many more deaths.
	What do I have to get involved with Putin for?
	I have nothing to do with Putin.
	I've never spoken to him.
	I don't know anything about him other than he will respect me.
	He doesn't respect our president.
	And if it is Russia, which is probably not, nobody knows who it is.
	But if it is Russia, it's really bad for a different reason.
	Because it shows how little respect they have for our country when they would hack into a major party and get everything.
	But it would be interesting to see, I will tell you this.
	Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.
	I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
	All right, glad you're with us as we continue our two Sean Hannity show, the chaos, the corruption, the confusion, the anger convention that is going on here by the Democratic Party.
	All right, so that's Donald Trump this morning, being very, very clear, saying, okay, if it is, we have all of this information about the DNC.
	It exposes them of using racial slurs and gay slurs and a very anti-Semitic line of attack to manipulate Democratic voters in Kentucky and West Virginia.
	Also, some misogyny mixed into all of this.
	The hacker Gusefer 2.0 has now come out with new information.
	He's released a cache of documents, some 11,000 names matched with some identifying information, files related to donors and research files on Sarah Palin.
	So that's all in there as well.
	We have new information, too, that, in fact, there was another anti-Semitic slur in there somewhere, as I have been informed.
	But the bottom line here is this.
	If you listen to what Donald Trump said, if it's Russia, it's bad for a different reason.
	It shows how little respect that they have for this country that they would hack into a major political party because there's no fear of retribution.
	There's no fear of consequences.
	And that if, in fact, Vladimir Putin has the 33,000 emails that Hillary deleted, it could have a major impact in this country's election, in this election cycle.
	So the media is going apoplectic because they're saying, well, Donald Trump, if you listen, if you're really listening, you know, I hope you're able to find the 33,000 emails.
	Well, James Comey had said repeatedly, it's likely foreign entities already have this information.
	Listen.
	With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors, we did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton's personal email domain in its various configurations since 2009 was hacked successfully.
	But given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence.
	We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account.
	We also assess that Secretary Clinton's use of a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent.
	She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries.
	Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email account.
	It is possible hostile actors have gained access to Hillary Clinton's email account.
	Joining us now with analysis of that and so much more.
	Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, I took it very differently what Donald Trump said, and he's clarified the remarks.
	I think it's pretty obvious, and we had talked about this before, that countries like Iran and Russia, we think Germany has been mentioned in the past and others already have hacked into this system.
	Well, I don't think we know, but I think it can and as a general principle, I think we should be very deeply disturbed that a Russian-sponsored group, whether they're directly tied to Soviet Russian intelligence or just tolerated by them, that the whole WikiLeaks thing in many ways is an assault on the whole rule of law and our right to privacy.
	Having said that, and particularly in the case of Hillary Clinton, there's something grandly ironic about her saying, on the one hand, that none of this, none of the 30,000 or 33,000 emails that she deleted involved work.
	On the other hand, she has her spokesman saying this could be a national security problem.
	Well, if it's a national security problem, then some of those 33,000 emails probably weren't about yoga and weddings and birthdays, which is how she originally described it.
	Well, one of the things.
	Let me go to Trump.
	Let me go to Trey Gowdy, because I think he did such a good job pointing out how often Hillary Clinton was out there lying to the American people, these phony, fraudulent excuses that were contradicted by the evidence.
	And Trey Gowdy, being the great prosecutor he is, brought it right to the forefront.
	Good morning, Director Comey.
	Secretary Clinton said she never sent or received any classified information over her private email.
	Was that true?
	Our investigation found that there was classified information sent.
	So it was not true.
	That's what I said.
	Okay.
	Well, I'm looking for a little shorter answer, so you and I are not here quite as long.
	Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails, either sent or received.
	Was that true?
	That's not true.
	There were a small number of portion markings on, I think, three of the documents.
	Secretary Clinton said, I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email.
	There is no classified material.
	Was that true?
	There was classified material emailed.
	Secretary Clinton said she used just one device.
	Was that true?
	She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as Secretary of State.
	Secretary Clinton said all work-related emails were returned to the State Department.
	Was that true?
	No, we found work-related emails, thousands, that were not returned.
	Secretary Clinton said neither she nor anyone else deleted work-related emails from her personal account.
	Was that true?
	That's a harder one to answer.
	We found traces of work-related emails on devices or in Slack space, whether they were deleted or whether when a server was changed out, something happened to them.
	There's no doubt that they're work-related emails that were removed electronically from the email system.
	Secretary Clinton said her lawyers read every one of the emails and were overly inclusive.
	Did her lawyers read the email content individually?
	No.
	I had not sent classified material nor received anything marked classified.
	Secretary Clinton said she never sent or received any classified information over her private email.
	Was that true?
	Our investigation found that there was classified information sent.
	So it was not true.
	And I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received.
	Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails, either sent or received.
	Was that true?
	That's not true.
	There were a small number of portion markings on, I think, three of the documents.
	I never sent classified material on my email, and I never received any that was marked classified.
	Secretary Clinton said I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email.
	There is no classified material.
	Was that true?
	There was classified material emailed.
	People across the government knew that I used one device.
	Maybe it was because I am not the most technically capable person and wanted to make it as easy as possible.
	Secretary Clinton said she used just one device.
	Was that true?
	She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as Secretary of State.
	But we turned over everything that was work-related.
	Every single thing.
	Personal stuff, we did not.
	I had no obligation to do so and did not.
	Secretary Clinton said all work-related emails were returned to the State Department.
	Was that true?
	No, we found work-related emails, thousands that were not returned.
	All I can tell you is that when my attorneys conducted this exhaustive process, I did not participate.
	Secretary Clinton said her lawyers read every one of the emails and were overly inclusive.
	Did her lawyers read the email content individually?
	No.
	All right, Mr. Speaker, I know that was long.
	I want to get your reaction.
	Well, look, if you have any open mind at all, Hillary Clinton is a liar.
	Period.
	Totally untrustworthy.
	Consistently rejected and repudiated by the director of the FBI.
	And it's astonishing.
	And remember, the email is only a tiny piece of this.
	There's the whole corruption of the Clinton Foundation.
	There are the 76 secret meetings with various donors in the Secretary's office while she was Secretary of State.
	The list goes on and on.
	And, you know, they can't possibly explain any of this except as special favors for an insider who's getting taken care of.
	But any normal American who had this big a discrepancy would currently be in front of a grand jury.
	What do you make of the media's reaction to all of this?
	And, you know, look, it's all across the media now.
	I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails, Russia, if you're listening, that are missing.
	And basically looking into the cameras and, you know, oh, this has crossed the line.
	The Trump campaign is first dismissing as ridiculous.
	The idea was behind this.
	Well, I don't think it's ridiculous, and I don't think he does either.
	And I don't think he was as much asking a hostile power to do this as much as he was saying he believes they already have it.
	Yeah, I mean, first of all, they're not going to hack in to get it because they don't exist anymore.
	Now, the question then becomes, did they, in fact, go into her server, her private server that was unsecured outside the State Department system?
	And did they download everything?
	And I would say the odds are probably even money.
	I mean, people aren't stupid.
	They watched her go all over the place carrying a Blackberry and carrying a smartphone and typing constantly.
	And so they were bound to say, gee, I wonder if we could find where her material is.
	They would pretty rapidly have ascertained that it wasn't at state.
	And Colmy, the director of FBI, was very clear and said several of her colleagues and people she worked with clearly were hacked.
	And I think that would suggest to you that the folks doing the hacking knew absolutely that she did not have a secure system.
	So in that setting.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Now, in that setting, you would have to ask yourself, wouldn't you think that several foreign powers may well have gone into her system and found out what they could get?
	Not just Russia, but several others.
	I mean, China could have, Israel could have.
	Their numbers, for that matter, the Iranians and ISIS have pretty good capability on the internet now.
	Let me go to last night.
	Now, which I thought was pretty amazing to me to watch Black Lives Matter, we have tapes of them literally chanting, what do we want dead cops?
	When do we want them now?
	Pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon.
	And yesterday there was a woman from the movement saying, all right, the black and brown people in front, if you're white, you have to go to the back.
	And remember, a group that is very controversial.
	Basically, it came out of this narrative that was false, hands up, don't shoot, which never happened in the Michael Brown case.
	But I feel sorry for the mother of Michael Brown.
	I feel sorry for the mother of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner and any mother that has lost a child.
	I really do.
	But when the convention is chanting Black Lives Matter, ignoring this controversy and the things that they have said, and they're ignoring their trips to the White House, how do you get a trip to the White House being associated with a group that radical?
	How do you become an advisor to Hillary Clinton's campaign when you have said all of these radical things?
	How do you ignore the 3,470-plus people that have died in Chicago, and none of their mothers are brought on stage, nor are the mothers and fathers and wives of cops that have been slain?
	Well, I mean, you just described the modern Democratic Party.
	If you're a policeman, they have no interest in protecting you.
	If you are the victim of a criminal, they have no interest in protecting you.
	That's why there have been 3,400 killings in Chicago since Barack Obama became president.
	The left in big cities makes no real effort to protect people.
	They had a police chief from Pittsburgh talk who I think had a 26% increase in crime last year.
	And he's going to tell the country how to make things better.
	I mean, this is just where we are.
	And the Democratic Party, the left-wing Democratic Party, has no interest in protecting normal Americans and no interest in protecting the police.
	They have a narrow political agenda, and that's what they're trying to follow.
	Yeah.
	What do you think of this convention overall as you watch the chaos with Bernie Sanders supporters?
	I mean, literally at the opening of the DNC on Monday, they're chanting Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.
	Bernie Sanders says yesterday afternoon that we've got to support Hillary Clinton, and he gets roundly booed.
	I guess it was Monday afternoon.
	You see what happened with Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
	You see the internal workings of the Democratic National Committee and how they use racial slurs and gay slurs and misogynistic language and a conspiracy to play an anti-Semitic campaign strategy.
	Well, I have to be clear that I am sufficiently used to the Democratic Party that it strikes me they're behaving like the Democratic Party.
	At their core, there's corruption.
	At their core, there's anti-Semitism.
	They have moved so far away from protecting and defending Israel that it's astonishing.
	And these are serious big things.
	And I think it's stuff that people got to really pay attention to that could well change history in some very violent and some very dangerous ways.
	Unbelievable times we're living in, Mr. Speaker.
	Thank you.
	How'd you like seeing your buddy Bill Clinton last night?
	Oh, well, as I mentioned to you when we did when I called in and we chatted, he is always a great storyteller.
	And he told a story last night, and that's what it was.
	It was a story.
	It had no relation to the real world.
	To the reality.
	All right.
	Former Speaker of the House, New Kingridge, thank you for being with us.
	800-941-Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	We're here at the Democratic National Convention where Donald Trump is not exactly popular.
	How unpopular is he?
	Who would make a better president?
	Donald Trump or Bill Cosby?
	Bill Cosby.
	I had to go over Bill Cosby.
	I probably have to go with Bill Cosby.
	Bill Cosby is more a rational being.
	None of the above.
	No, Bill Cosby.
	Bill Cosby.
	Who Cosmy Make a better president than Donald Trump?
	I know he's for equality.
	Donald Trump or Bill Cosby?
	Bill Cosby.
	Bill Cosby.
	No question about it.
	No question about it.
	No.
	Who would be better for women's rights in this country?
	Donald Trump or Bill Cosby?
	Sad to say?
	Bill Cosby.
	Who's worse for women's rights?
	Bill Cosby or Donald Trump?
	Probably again.
	Donald Trump might be worse.
	So you think Bill Cosby would be better for women's rights than Donald Trump overall?
	Yeah, anybody except with Donald Trump?
	That makes sense.
	Bill Cosby.
	I think.
	And who would be better for women's rights as president?
	Donald Trump or Bill Cosby?
	Bill Cosby.
	Bill Cosby.
	Gun to your head.
	Women's rights.
	So who's more evil, Donald Trump or ISIS?
	Donald Trump?
	Donald Trump would be worse than ISIS.
	Do you agree with that?
	Yes.
	Who'd be more dangerous?
	Trump or ISIS?
	No pressure about it?
	Trump.
	You probably have to go with Trump.
	I don't see ISIS as an inherent threat to my well-being.
	So you're at the beach.
	Donald Trump and a convicted pedophile are drowning.
	You can only save one, but you have to save one.
	Who do you save?
	I'm sorry, you guys.
	I'm going to have to say the pedophile.
	Wow.
	25 now till the top of the hour.
	Glad you're with us.
	Sean Hannity Show.
	We're in Philly.
	The DNC chaos, corruption, confusion, and convention that's going on here.
	Let's see.
	Convicted pedophile or Donald Trump?
	ISIS or Donald Trump?
	Bill Cosby or Donald Trump.
	That, of course, is the great work of our filmmaker and political satirist friend, Ami Horowitz.
	And he's actually here in Philly.
	How's the reception been for you overall?
	You know, I'm pretty good at having them think I'm one of them.
	So I'm able to go under the radar and I wish I could go under the radar.
	I was actually ordered not to go on the Democratic floor.
	I was going to go on there last night.
	I was told, no, you're not coming on.
	Yeah, Fox offers me security, but I always say no because I'm able to get away with it.
	Yeah.
	Pretty unbelievable.
	Pretty revealing.
	Was there anybody that you met that supported Trump at all or had any nice thing?
	Or was this edited this tape?
	Or was this pretty much straight up?
	Anybody supporting Trump?
	What are you calling?
	I'm just easy.
	Well, I would think some of the Bernie supporters would be open to him because polls have shown that.
	I don't care what those polls say.
	I know what kind of crack you're smoking.
	Give me some of that because they are.
	You can count on one hand how many Bernie supporters across the country who will support Donald Trump.
	There's no reality that would hate Donald Trump.
	But here's the problem.
	They now know that the system was rigged.
	We now have evidence that proves that the DNC colluded with Hillary Clinton.
	Correct.
	We also know that their votes, basically, they were all disenfranchised in the process.
	I mean, we knew it early on.
	I mean, it wasn't a big surprise to me because we just now have the evidence.
	I mean, look at the superdelegate distribution.
	Bernie got next to none.
	Hillary got almost all of them.
	So it was clear that they were in the tank for Hillary.
	They didn't expect that Bernie would do so well and take this all the way to California, and he did.
	And so I'm thinking that if I'm a Bernie supporter, I feel disenfranchised.
	I'm angry.
	And on issues involving jobs and the economy and trade, I think I'd go for Trump.
	And they do feel, everything you said was correct up until the end.
	They absolutely do feel they're pissed off.
	They feel this is stolen from them.
	They have the right to feel that.
	But they have another option.
	The option is Jill Stein.
	And when I was out there with Bernie supporters, eight out of ten of the people I spoke with said they are voting for Jill Stein.
	They will never vote for Hillary.
	But beyond that, they would never, ever, ever vote for Trump.
	The hatred, the Trump derangement syndrome is clearly seen in this video I did.
	What do you make of what I've been discussing today?
	And yesterday was pretty much, you heard the chanting Black Lives Matter in the convention hall last night.
	You saw that, for example, Michael Brown's mother's there.
	And I do feel sorry for Michael Brown's mother.
	I really do.
	She lost her son.
	She's never going to see her son again.
	But the reason her son died was of his own doing based on the testimony of black eyewitnesses, based on the video evidence of him robbing a store and intimidating a clerk.
	And then eyewitnesses testified that he had, in fact, reached into the police car to try and fight the cop, Darren Wilson, for his gun.
	That's where the first shot went off.
	And then, of course, he was running and charging at the officer.
	Well, if you do all of those things, sadly, you are pretty much guaranteeing your days on earth are over.
	Yeah, I never understood why they hung their hat on this Ferguson case.
	That was the absolute worst case that these people could have hung their hat on.
	The problem, Sean, is that facts get in the way of their narrative, right?
	And their narrative is Michael Brown was an unarmed teenager.
	He didn't have a name.
	His name was Unarmed Teenager.
	This is where the whole Black Lives Matter movement started.
	Hands up, don't shoot.
	That's right, that was the first time.
	From the get-go was not true.
	That's right.
	There's no question about it.
	But again, if you go out there today, despite all the evidence that we have that you just cited, if you go out there today, they still think Michael Ferguson was a martyr.
	In Ferguson, thank you.
	Maybe I'm smoking that crack.
	Was slaughtered out there by the police, and that's the problem that we're facing.
	Oh, it's pretty severe in a lot of ways.
	What do you make of these, the hacking that went on?
	What do you make of what was exposed here?
	There was an anti-Semitic plan.
	The architect of the plan, he's literally saying, hey, hey, we can tell our friends, our Democratic voters in Kentucky and West Virginia, Bernie is Jewish.
	We can tell them that.
	But he was making the argument that's better than being an atheist.
	That wasn't anti-Semitic.
	Now, you could say they were racist, anti-Hispanic, that's for sure.
	Well, hang on a second.
	Do we know?
	He said he claims Jewish heritage.
	Is that true?
	Do we know where he stands on this?
	It's probably worth, certainly with our Baptist friends down here, our Democratic, bigoted Democratic friends.
	You know, we can get a lot more points out of this, even if we say he's a Jew.
	It was seriously messed up.
	There's no question about it.
	But I think he was disparaging.
	Why do you stop?
	You sound like Bill Clinton parsing words and threading a needle and you're like on the razor's edge.
	The Taco Bowl thing and making fun of that black woman's name.
	Black woman's name.
	That's straight up racism.
	Also, I love you, but not homo.
	That's just weird.
	I don't know.
	No, that's a gay slur.
	No question.
	That's a gay slur.
	And if I did it, people would want me off the air.
	Oh, my God, of course.
	Yeah, okay.
	Same thing.
	So you got also misogyny calling women bimbos.
	I thought that was so offensive to Democrats.
	Are you?
	I'm sorry, are you taking it back?
	There's a double standard between conservatives and liberals?
	I mean, you've seen this for years.
	All right.
	But when you really look at this, isn't this everything that happens every year?
	They claim that they have a compassion, a monopoly of compassion on gays and lesbians, on women, on blacks, on Hispanics, on minorities.
	And Republicans want dirty air, water, kill grandma.
	They're racist, sexist, homophobic.
	But yet these emails now show that these people are corrupt at the highest levels, that they're involved in collusion, that they're disenfranchising every Bernie supporter and willing to do so.
	And that all these accusations they make against Republicans, they themselves are guilty of.
	And you know what's going to happen, Sean?
	It will not erode the black and Hispanic support for the Liberal Democratic Party one iota.
	That's the reality.
	It will not harm them one iota of the black community.
	And that's the problem, and that's the sickness that we're seeing in this world, that it doesn't make a difference what liberals say.
	If they say it, they get a pass.
	If we say it, we're racist, and we hate gay people, and we hate Jews and whoever else we hate.
	Well, it's pretty unbelievable.
	So you don't think that's that big a deal?
	You don't think it has any impact?
	So I'm a Bernie supporter.
	I know they stole the election.
	I know they disenfranchised me, but they don't care.
	No, no.
	The Bernie supporters are different.
	They will not support Hillary Clinton.
	Why did Bernie fall on the sword?
	Donald Trump, I interviewed him Monday night.
	Donald Trump thinks it's because poor Bernie is tired.
	He's burnt out.
	I'll argue he's probably promised something.
	He falls on the sword.
	Monday afternoon, he speaks to supporters.
	He says, we've all got to unite and support Hillary.
	I'll play it for you.
	They get booed.
	He gets booed roundly for saying it.
	And his supporters seem to want to go on with the movement, and Bernie pooped out.
	The more interesting question, I think, is why are the Bernie supports?
	My question is more interesting.
	Answer my question.
	Go ahead.
	All right.
	So I think that they got to him.
	They said, listen, this is it.
	You have to support the party.
	You have to fall in the party line.
	They put the screws to him, and he fell.
	But the question I have is: why are the Bernie supporters still view him as their leader?
	They didn't look there.
	When I went out there and asked them about Bernie essentially conceding to Hillary Clinton, none of them had a problem with it.
	Now, they're not going to support Hillary Clinton, but I found it very interesting that they did not go after Bernie Sanders for essentially conceding the election and giving up the movement.
	That I thought was very interesting.
	By the way, there's new Gussifer 2.0, the hacker, is now breached into the DNC committee.
	They released another cache of purported DNC documents.
	And among them, by the way, that DNC staffers are annoyed to having commemorate the Holocaust.
	Does that now bring you to the anti-Semitic level?
	Okay, now we're closer.
	I didn't see that.
	Oh, really?
	Now we're closer.
	I'm glad I can help tell you these things.
	Apparently, 11,000 names matched with identifying information, files related to controversial donors, research files on Sarah Palin.
	The hacker provided a series of spreadsheets.
	Remember this guy, Norman Shu?
	Remember that guy?
	The Democratic donor jailed in 09 for running a Ponzi scheme and arranging illegal campaign contributions.
	The DNC responded by assembling files to gauge the exposure to their slate of candidates.
	By the way, the Wall Street Journal at the time said Norman Shu was in the middle of the action in national politics eight years ago as a top fundraiser for Hillary Clinton and other Democrats.
	He raised more than $850,000 from Mrs. Clinton, arm twisting a network of about 300 investors, acquaintances, and friends.
	Oh, excuse me.
	And the government said, by the way, that he stole between 50 and 100 million bucks from people by claiming he was making short-term loans to retail companies.
	I'll be very clear.
	I do not support hacking, but this is so awesome.
	I am so down with this.
	Oh, by the way, this breaking earlier today.
	I forgot to tell you this.
	One other thing.
	Maybe we'll get you to the anti-Semitic level now.
	Yeah, Democrats were burning the Israeli flag.
	Breaking news now.
	That's not surprising.
	Is that anti-Semitic?
	Do you think Obama being caught using State Department money to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and sending his top campaign aides there?
	Do you think that's anti-Semitic?
	No.
	No.
	Come on.
	It's political.
	But it's political.
	It's political.
	It's political.
	So beat, beat.
	So they're going to burn the Israeli flag.
	By the way, there was a count.
	You know, the first night of the convention, no American flags.
	All right, so they corrected the problem out of sheer embarrassment.
	Unbelievable.
	Unbelievable.
	All right.
	And, of course, no mention of ISIS the first night.
	We can't do those things.
	Wasn't it nice they did that 10-minute memoriam for the for the for the priest whose head was cut off?
	I think that was a sweet thing they did.
	When was that?
	Oh, yeah, that might not.
	They may not have done that.
	No, I didn't see that last night.
	I think I was wrong.
	Yeah.
	At the altar during Mass.
	Now we're cutting off headsets.
	But like that girl said, but ISIS is no threat.
	Well, Obama said it last week.
	He said, we've never been safer.
	I feel so safe.
	Cops are being assassinated.
	A terror attack a day worldwide.
	The JV team is totally and completely and utterly contained.
	That's what, I mean, he said it, so it must be true.
	All right, right?
	Yeah, let me ask you one other thing because you did some videos a while back.
	Let me see if I can find where the last video that you did that I wanted to see.
	You, I guess, what did you do?
	Oh, you had Williamsburg, a video about people blame being Republicans on Islam.
	It was unbelievable.
	It was right after the Orlando attacks, right?
	The guy said Alo Akbar.
	The guy he proclaimed his Islamic.
	It's a lahu Akbar.
	Allahu Akbar.
	Get your radical Islamic terminology down pattern.
	I apologize.
	I apologize.
	So I asked people in Williamsburg: did Islam play any role whatsoever in the attacks in Orlando?
	And without not a single person said that Islam played any role.
	Not anybody, not a single person.
	They wouldn't blame Islam at all, not one iota.
	Then I said, well, who do you blame?
	They blame Republicans for the attack.
	They blame guns for the attack.
	Islam, apparently, in their bizarre cultural relative world, plays no role in any of the attacks whatsoever.
	You know, a lot of Democrats and commentators, well, Trump's speech was dark.
	Okay, he's talking about debt, record deficits, record debt.
	He's talking about record numbers of people out of the labor force in poverty and on food stamps.
	He's talking about ISIS, radical Islam.
	He's talking about Iraq and Syria.
	I mean, Iraq now, every 84 hours there's an attack.
	We learned yesterday.
	Every 84 hours.
	But don't worry, they're contained.
	And we see what's happening worldwide, and he wants to bring in more refugees.
	Brilliant strategy.
	What should he be talking about?
	Ponies and lollipops?
	I mean, this is the reality of the world, people.
	No, apparently not.
	All right.
	So most people are nice to you, huh?
	Yeah.
	Why don't you go down and do a man on the street and say, I'm with the Sean Hannity show, and I want to send a message.
	Do you want to send a message to Sean Hannity?
	I'll do that.
	All right, do it.
	I'll do it today.
	Now, if you get killed, I am not responsible.
	Oh, you better identify me.
	What?
	You better indemnify me.
	All right, forget it.
	Deals off.
	I've been around this crowd.
	I went to Wawa's the other night, so I know exactly the type of person that's around here.
	All right, Amy, appreciate it.
	Thank you.
	All right, news roundup information overload as we come to you from the chaos, corruption, confusion.
	And yes, last night, the Black Lives Matter Convention.
	800-941-Sean is a toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	Legendary coach Lou Holtz will be with us at the bottom of the hour.
	You know, one of the more fascinating things is you watch this.
	We see this every presidential election cycle.
	They love to play gender politics.
	They love to play identity politics in the Democratic Party.
	Now, there's a reason that Eric Gardner's mother and Trayvon Martin's mother and Michael Brown's mother were on stage last night.
	You know, the person of the three that I feel the most sorry for is Eric Gardner.
	I mean, who would ever come up with a stupid law but a bunch of liberal New York politicians that say that you cannot sell loose cigarettes because they can't get their tax dollar out of it, their little piece of the pie.
	And so Eric Gardner, because the police are forced to enforce the law, you know, ended up, you know, it should never have happened that confrontation.
	If you get to the root cause of Eric Gardner's death, it was greedy government wanting every single solitary penny that they can squeeze out of taxpayers.
	In this case, the taxes that they get from the selling of cigarettes.
	Government makes more money from selling cigarettes than the tobacco companies at this point do.
	It's ridiculous.
	And in the case of Trayvon Martin, a terrible tragedy, but George Zimmerman was exonerated based on the testimony of an eyewitness that saw Trayvon grounding and pounding George Zimmerman's head into concrete.
	And you heard George Zimmerman scream.
	Yes, sad, tragic, horrible.
	Another young man that has died, but that should not have died.
	And then we get to Michael Brown.
	Michael, this is the highlights.
	The chanting of Black Lives Matter.
	I thought all lives matter.
	I thought we're all children of God.
	But apparently, you know, it's like Bernie Sanders and Hillary.
	Black Lives Matter.
	All lives matter.
	Black lives matter.
	Okay, all lives matter.
	And if this was the top priority of the president, how many of the 3,470 people killed in Obama's hometown of Chicago leading up to today, you know, in his entire presidency, are minority Americans that are slaughtered.
	But no, we talk about Michael Brown, a guy that is on video robbing a store, pushing a clerk, and then multiple black eyewitnesses testifying that Michael Brown reached in to a police officer's car to grab his gun.
	A struggle ensued.
	A shot was fired within the car.
	And then, of course, he runs away and then runs towards the police officer who had no choice but to defend himself.
	And this has now become their cause.
	This is why black lives matter when they say, what do we want?
	Dead cops, when do we want them now?
	How do they get invitations to the White House?
	How do they become consultants to Hillary Clinton's campaign on issues involving criminal justice matters?
	It's beyond breathtaking to me.
	And then we can go to all of the statistics.
	I have article after article here about black Americans.
	They are not better off since Barack Obama's been president.
	I know every election year that, what, 90 plus percent of black Americans tend to vote for the Democratic candidate?
	Well, I think what was happening in the hall last night is there was a very, you know, the message was: yes, we're with you in this case.
	We're with you in Michael Brown.
	We're with you in Trayvon Martin.
	We're with you in Ferguson.
	We're with you in the Freddie Gray case.
	By the way, now all six officers exonerated in the Freddie Gray case, in spite of what Prosecutor Mosby, one of the speakers yesterday, had to say.
	Anyway, but if you look off economically, what?
	There's a 58% increase black Americans on food stamps since Obama's been president.
	20% black Americans, now 24%, are out of the labor force.
	Median income isn't down in real dollars in eight years.
	Imagine, you know, here it is eight years later.
	Hope and change.
	And yes, we can.
	And what do you have to show for it, but a decrease, medium household income of about $2,400 for black families.
	And the same thing in the Hispanic community.
	All right, they want open borders.
	And Hillary and Tim Kaine, they want comprehensive immigration reform, amnesty within the first hundred days if they get into office.
	Well, if you look at research from various parts of the government, what do you find?
	All right, Hispanics make up 16.3% of the U.S. population, but they only own 2.2% of this country's wealth.
	You know, households, for example, and Hispanic households have amassed, on average, $109,000 in wealth compared to nearly a half a million dollars for all households.
	Latest numbers we have 2010.
	You see, male Hispanics have seen their median wage and salary income decline by over $1,000 since Obama became president.
	Median household income has declined by $2,356, according to the Census Bureau stats.
	For Hispanics 35 to 44 years old under Obama, $2,356 real dollars.
	So Obama's policies are not helping the black community.
	It's not helping the Hispanic community.
	And they're out there appealing to this narrative that is out there: hands up, don't shoot, which never happened, that Ferguson was legitimate when, in fact, the black eyewitnesses in that case testified contrary to what a narrative that was laid out at the time and expectations set by politicians that use high-profile race cases to advance a political agenda.
	And then, on top of that, you know, you look at every single barometer and measure, and it makes one wonder.
	Every single election year, you're going to see the same thing.
	You're going to see the race card played.
	You're going to see the gender card played by the Democrats.
	You're going to see that Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic.
	They want dirty air and water.
	Oh, and by the way, air conditionings are as dangerous as ISIS.
	And you're going to hear that Republicans want to take your poor grandmother, throw her in her wheelchair, go to the biggest cliff they can find, and throw her off and kill her and destroy her and rob her of all of her social security benefits.
	It is fear-mongering.
	It's based on lies.
	And the population of this country, unfortunately, people are subject to the sound bites, the lies, the distortions, the propaganda, the outright misinformation that is being fed.
	And I think that this WikiLeaks release of the Democratic National Committee's emails, well, there are racial slurs in there.
	There are gay slurs in there.
	There's an anti-Semitic strategy built into there.
	Well, we can tell our Democratic colleagues in Kentucky and West Virginia that, well, Bernie is a Jew.
	Bernie's Jewish.
	And, oh, that'll get us a few extra points.
	Let's tell our Democratic prejudiced friends that Bernie's Jewish.
	Let's do that.
	And then, of course, there's attacks on women in there.
	The very things they accuse Republicans of being they are with all the proof thereof.
	All right, joining us now is Hector Barretto.
	He is the chairman of the Latin Latino Coalition and former U.S. administrator for the SBA.
	Bernard Whitman is the author of 52 Reasons to Vote for Hillary.
	He's a former Clinton pollster, Democratic strategist.
	Hector, is the black and Hispanic communities in America better off since Obama's been president?
	I don't think so.
	You know, you did a good job of talking about a lot of the statistics here.
	And Hispanics are not seeing that.
	You know, we're still the fastest-growing segment of small business, but our businesses are still facing a lot of headwinds.
	There are millions of Latinos who are looking for jobs that can't find jobs.
	A lot of Hispanic kids are recently graduating from college.
	They can't get access to college.
	So, you know, by almost any metric, I know you're going to hear some spin out of the convention talking about it's the best of times.
	Well, for us, a lot of times we still feel it's the worst of times, and we're looking for solutions, and we're not seeing a lot of specificity coming out of the first two days of the convention.
	Yeah, and you know, listen, I know Bernard, I've known you for a lot of years.
	I mean, you are a hard, hardcore Democrat.
	Do you think it's appropriate to have a group like Black Lives Matter that chant, what do we want dead cops?
	When do we want them now?
	And pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon.
	And we have this tape from yesterday, a woman, Black Lives Matter movement march that was happening, and she tells the white people they've got to get to the back of the line.
	White media, get to the bet.
	Black media come to the front.
	White media, excuse me, you.
	Excuse me, sir.
	Somebody needs to tell these person to get to the vet.
	No, no, somebody needs to tell these folks to get to the vet.
	Don't mess up.
	We're not worried about today.
	Get to the bet.
	Well, you won't be out from the market.
	You are not afraid to put people out.
	You are not afraid to put people out.
	White people to the bet.
	Black people to the front.
	That includes white media.
	We can't.
	We don't mind the Republicans joining us.
	They can go come for the ride, but they got to sit in back.
	So, Bernard, let me ask you: does that sound appropriate to you?
	Is that the type of group that deserves a prominent place on the stage of the Democratic National Convention?
	Do they deserve the prestigious position of advising Hillary Clinton?
	Do they deserve invitations to the White House, in your view?
	Sean, you're making it seem like she was the spokesperson for Black Lives Matter.
	Okay, for the truth.
	Bernard, I'm not.
	Bernard, if you're not going to answer my question, I'll say goodbye to you and we'll talk to Hector.
	I'm asking you a specific question.
	We have Black Lives Matter saying pigs in a blanket fry them like bacon.
	We have him on tape saying what you just heard.
	White people get to the back.
	Black and brown people to the front.
	And then, of course, what do we want dead cops?
	When do we want them now?
	That's what this group, members of this group, have been found chanting again and again.
	I'm asking, do they deserve these invitations?
	Well, maybe if you'd let me speak, you'd be able to hear my point of view.
	You say yes or no.
	I mean, answer, then expand on your answer.
	This is typical.
	You're taking one bad apple and you're making it seem like a bad one.
	Let's play the one bad apple.
	All right, that's one bad apple.
	Let's play the chanting, and then you tell me if this is just one.
	Pigs in a blanket!
	Bad Lives Bacon!
	Pigs in a blanket!
	Brad Life Savior!
	So obviously it's more than one, so you stand corrected.
	Now you can answer.
	It's interesting, Sean.
	What you're not playing is you're not playing any of the heartfelt messages that were given out by those mothers who lost their sons last night.
	That's what this convention is.
	My heart and soul goes out to these mothers.
	I feel bad for them.
	Even Michael Brown's mother.
	Nobody should lose a child.
	But the reality is, we had black eyewitnesses that said Michael Brown fought that cop for his gun.
	Eyewitnesses that said he charged at the police officer.
	Sean, can we talk about the future?
	Can we talk about the difference?
	I noticed in your setup, you didn't mention one single thing coming out of the Republican Convention, not one single policy coming out of the country.
	Bernard, I don't need your spin.
	I have a question for you.
	I have a question.
	Wait, wait, hang on a second.
	We have all these high-profile cases, and I do feel sorry for these mothers.
	I really do.
	There's been 3,470-plus people killed in Chicago since Obama's been president.
	Can you name one of those people killed?
	No, unfortunately, I can't.
	And I think that, you know, this is not a big question.
	Why weren't those mothers up on stage?
	Why hasn't Obama gone and helped the city of Chicago in eight years?
	Why aren't we talking about common sense measures for gun control, universal backwards?
	Okay.
	Closing the live polls.
	Hector.
	Let me tell you why, Hector, he can't name the 3,470 people killed, not one of them in Chicago.
	It's because this doesn't advance this narrative against the police that, you know, somehow police are responsible for this high death rate, and they can't be used for political purposes.
	And because they can't, it's not worth calling attention to what is a tragedy, the death and dying of innocent people.
	I agree.
	Any innocent life loss is a tragedy.
	And by the way, there are thousands and thousands of these cases also in the Hispanic community, but you're not going to hear that.
	You're not going to hear any Hispanic leaders talk about that this week as well.
	Look, as you know, Sean, you talk about this all the time.
	They're trapped.
	They're trapped in failing cities by failing leaders.
	They're trapped in failing schools.
	And everything is harder for them to escape that.
	So this is a perennial cycle of tragedy.
	And that's why the American electorate wants change.
	That's why they keep talking about change.
	And they're so hungry for it.
	They're so desperate for it.
	And I think both candidates would do a lot better if they would really start focusing in on those things.
	You know, the biggest issues are still the economy.
	By the way, we just did a poll at Latino Coalition.
	We released it right before the Republican Convention.
	And we're just talking to people that consider themselves moderates or conservatives.
	You know what the number one issue was, Sean?
	This really surprised us.
	The number one issue for Hispanics who consider themselves conservatives or moderates is national security.
	Immigration wasn't even the top of the list, but you're going to hear a lot about immigration over these next couple of days.
	Healthcare is still a big problem.
	Education is a big problem.
	Oh, I forgot to mention hell, you're right.
	Healthcare has gone up, what, 40% on average across the country this year.
	So much for keeping your doctor, your plan, and saving money.
	I've got to run, though.
	I do appreciate, Hector, that you're willing to tell the truth.
	Bernard, listen, the next time you come on the program, Bernard, will you please know the name of at least one of the dead people that died during Obama's term in Chicago?
	If you knew the name of one person and not just the highly charged political, racial narrative, I would have a lot more respect for you.
	But I really don't.
	And your arguments.
	This country to understand other people and to care about it.
	What holds a country together are their core values.
	And what are our core values?
	I don't know.
	We talk about immigration.
	13 million immigrants.
	That's not illegal.
	That's an invasion.
	But my four grandparents came over from a foreign country.
	They all went through Ellis Island.
	And I remember when my dad went into war during World War II, we moved to East Liverpool to live with my grandparents while my dad was in the service.
	They were from Chernobyl in Ukraine.
	And when they didn't want me to understand something, they would speak in Ukraine.
	I said, Grabbed, teach me Ukraine.
	She said, you don't live in Ukraine.
	You live here.
	You learn to speak English.
	That's the only language you need to know.
	I feel the same way about immigration.
	Not hard.
	Hey, come here.
	Welcome.
	Come here, legally.
	Come here to become us.
	I don't want to become you.
	I don't want to speak your language.
	I don't want to celebrate your holidays.
	I sure as hell don't want to cheer for your soccer team.
	Want to be happy for a month, buy a new car.
	Want to be happy for a year, win the lottery.
	Want to be happy for a lifetime?
	Make sure people would miss you if you didn't show up because the people we miss are those that add value to other people's lives.
	And let's hold people accountable for doing the right thing, doing the best they can, and showing people you care.
	All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
	We're in Philly.
	Chaos, corruption, confusion.
	By the way, the corruption in the media is beyond anything we've ever seen.
	That, of course, my friend, legendary coach Lou Holtz, discussing a lot of different things, not the least of which is immigration in a speech that he gave.
	Coach, how are you?
	And we're glad you are with us.
	The idea that you call it an invasion, you're right, because my grandparents came through Ellis Island.
	They came here legally.
	They obeyed the laws.
	And I've got to believe that your first act of becoming part of our society has got to be you respect our laws and sovereignty.
	Well, Sean, I appreciate that.
	I'm a little tired because I have to stay up to one o'clock to watch your show every night, which I enjoy thoroughly.
	And I love the wide variety of guests you have.
	But, you know, Sean, I grew up, and if somebody said something, it was true, and if you read in a paper, it was true.
	With all the internet and things along that line, things are no longer true.
	I read a comment the other day and said, if you want to make a conservative mad, tell them a lie or lie about them.
	If you want to make a liberal mad, tell them the truth or tell the truth about him.
	And that speech, I gave a 40-minute speech, Sean.
	Over half of it was on abortion.
	I got an award for that.
	And the point I made is 4.4 million abortions decided by one person, the mother, not the father.
	And nobody has a voice for the baby.
	And I've tried, along with other people, tried to be the voice of the baby.
	I didn't spend more than two minutes on immigration.
	In my entire life, Sean, I've never said a negative word about a nationality, about their work ethics, their integrity, their character, their love of the family, anything else along that line.
	But for somebody to put out and said, Lou Holtz says immigrants are deadbeats, that is a flat-out lie.
	And if you don't buy paper by the ring and ink by the barrel, you don't have much recourse to counteract such blatant lies as this.
	You know, I've lived this my entire career because I'm in the political arena.
	You know, I've interviewed parents that have lost their children because of illegal immigrants that were in this country that had previously committed crimes and still weren't sent back.
	We have a president that doesn't respect our laws and sovereignty, and you get all kind of names.
	But you summed it up best.
	You're saying that you don't have a problem.
	Come here.
	You don't care where they come from.
	Now, you are one of the best football coaches in the history of college football and a coach at Notre Dame.
	And my recollection is that you had kids from all races, all religions, all backgrounds on your team.
	And if I were to assemble together any of these players that played under you, I don't think I would find a one that would have a negative word to say about you.
	Quite the opposite, quite to the contrary.
	They would all be saying how Coach Holtz made them better people, how Coach Holtz cared about them as human beings.
	Well, I would like to think, but let me tell you what happened last year.
	I had two players that played for me at Notre Dame, admitted into the NFL Hall of Fame at the same time, Jerome Bettis, Ben Brown.
	Last year, I had three players that played for me, added the Notre Dame football staff.
	Autre Denson running backs, Todd White, defensive backs, Jeff Burris.
	I had two players that played for me at Notre Dame, added to the board of trustees at Notre Dame, and that's no small feat.
	Byron Spuel, who just accepted position as president of the NBA, and Rod West, vice president of Arkansas of Power Louisiana guy.
	All seven of those athletes, Sean, were Afro-Americans.
	I can't take credit for it.
	I'd like to think I established an environment that caught them to make good choices and to be accountable for the decision they made.
	But the credit has to go to Paris.
	The point I make is this is a great country.
	But let's hold people accountable for the choice they make.
	Wherever you are, good or bad, it's a choice you made.
	And for somebody to take out of a two-minute speech and say, I call them good things, that's wrong.
	My grandparents, I mentioned, all four of them, came back to Ellis Island, and they came under a guy by the name of Teddy Roosevelt with the president.
	I went back and I did a little research on Teddy Roosevelt and some of the comments he made.
	I might also add, he's the first president to ever name a Jewish person to his cabinet.
	He's also the first president to ever name a black to a federal position.
	But here are some of the comments that he made.
	No man's a good citizen that doesn't work to provide for the necessities of life for him and his family.
	He also said this, every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
	He also said, and I mean, I can give you all kinds of quotes, but these are two of my favorites.
	He said, no man can be a good citizen if he's not at least in the process to speak the language of his fellow citizens.
	The man is a good citizen.
	Any politician that makes a promise on the campaign trail, doesn't follow up, should be swept out of office.
	But here's my last one.
	Our allegiance must be purely to the U.S.
	We must unsparingly condemn anyone who holds any other allegiance.
	But if he or she is healthy and single loyal to the Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good American as anyone else.
	And he talks about it all the time.
	Come here to become us.
	My grandparents came here under Teddy Roosevelt.
	That was their philosophy.
	That's why they adopted the lecture.
	That's why they preached about Americanism.
	Yeah, I'm proud to be an American.
	I served in the armed services.
	I was an officer in the Army.
	I've been to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Sue, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, speaking the troops.
	I'm proud to be an American.
	And doggone it, don't make me feel like I'm bad because I am proud to be an American.
	When I saw the movie the other day and they said the Pledge of Allegiance, I stood up.
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	Other people, oh, that's a bad.
	No, if you're an American, be proud of it.
	You know, the Australian prime minister a number of years back made the comment, you know, if you come to Australia, be an Australian or leave.
	And I thought that was a pretty powerful statement, and it was deemed controversial by people in other parts of the world.
	You know, we're at a point in time now where, for example, the president and this candidate, Hillary Clinton, that's running for office, and Tim Kaine is another one.
	They don't want to build a wall.
	That means people cross the border, and they're competing with the 95 million Americans out of the labor force for the few jobs that are available.
	That drives down wages and opportunities for Americans.
	Also, we know that ISIS, well, they're saying that they want to hit London and they want to hit Washington, D.C.
	Those are the next targets.
	Well, we know that that is a porous opening for them to cross into this country.
	So that's another reason to build the wall.
	Then we have the whole refugee problem.
	Hillary Clinton wants a 550% increase in refugees, even though the refugee population was infiltrated, and that resulted in the Belgium attack and the Germany attacks, many of them, and also the attacks in Paris.
	And our National Director of Intelligence, FBI, CIA director, our special envoy to defeat ISIS, and our House Homeland Security Chairman said exactly what happened in Belgium and Paris is going to happen here.
	And they still want to gamble with the lives of Americans.
	And when you speak out about it, somehow that is characterized in a way that is anti-Muslim instead of the way it should be characterized, which is we have an obligation to keep the American people safe.
	Americans have the right to jobs before any illegal immigrants.
	And, you know, to say that is, to me, simple, basic common sense.
	I do not mind, Sean, the media having a difference of opinion.
	What I do think, I think it's wrong to lie and to say something that there's absolutely no proof of, defy anybody to find anything along that line.
	Now, I support Donald Trump, not because of immigration, not because of the wall.
	I support him because he puts America first.
	Now, until we become one nationality, the entire universe over, I'm still an American, a U.S. citizen, put him first.
	Why do I support him?
	Because I don't want eight more years of what we have had.
	I supported Hillary.
	I love Bill Clinton.
	In 2004, I thought she'd be a third term of Bill Clinton.
	Now she wants to be a third term of president of Obama.
	And as I said in the speech also, I admire Obama as a father and as a husband.
	I disagree with his policy.
	And you point it out contingently.
	More people in poverty, more people on welfare, more people on food stamps, less people working in the workforce last 40 years.
	Fewest people in the military since 1940.
	$20 trillion debt.
	Let's look at the foreign affairs.
	We have civil war in Libya and Syria and Yemen.
	You look what's happened to Iraq.
	You look at Afghanistan where the Taliban, the ISIS are taking over.
	You want to look at Iran who is firing missiles in defiance of a treaty we signed with them, plus giving them $150 million to continue to spread terror throughout the Midwest.
	You want to talk about China flexing their powers.
	You want to talk about Russia taking over Crimea.
	This is fact.
	And if people can't argue with the facts, that is why I support Donald Trump, because of the policies, not because of immigration, but I am proud to be an American.
	I say, when you come here, come here to become us.
	Coach, you're one of the great inspirations of my life.
	I got to tell you, one of the worst moments in my life is I had never done a roast before.
	And I was in Atlanta.
	I was a local radio guy.
	And it was for Newt Gingrich.
	And you were at this roast.
	And I never saw anybody on a stage command a presence like you had before that moment.
	And I had the unlucky card.
	I had to speak after you.
	And five minutes into me doing my little jokes, which, by the way, everyone that I had put together, you did it 10 times better.
	So it was like nothing I was going to say was going to move this crowd.
	After five minutes, I go, okay, that's it.
	Thank you.
	Good night.
	And I was sweating as I walked off the stage.
	I learned a lesson that night that if you're speaking, there's one guy you never want to follow.
	And that's Coach Lou Holtz.
	So, Coach, I love you.
	I respect you.
	You're a great friend, a great American, and you're right on these issues.
	And I hope people are listening closely to what you're saying.
	I appreciate it, Sean.
	But when I talk, and you've got to feel bad because I do have a list, but I've done the lower third of my school class.
	I never talk about politics.
	I never talk about anything we talked about.
	I talk about how to make good decisions, how to be successful in life.
	That's all I do.
	And there have been a lot of backlash since this came out.
	We don't want that racist there.
	You know what, though?
	You're not going to intimidate me, even though I don't buy paper by the ring or ink by the barrel.
	I look forward to watching you tonight.
	All right.
	Thank you, Coach.
	You're the best.
	We really appreciate it.
	800-941-Sean is a number.
	We got time for one quick call here.
	Sandy is in California.
	Sandy, hi, how are you?
	Welcome to Philly and the DNC Convention.
	I'm good.
	What's going on?
	Well, I listened to Bill Clinton's speech, and he's a good storyteller, but that's basically all he was, was a storyteller with obviously huge gaps.
	Now, the story would be good for somebody who wants to be a social worker.
	The gaps apply to somebody who wants to be president.
	And she's already failed commander-in-chief with Benghazi.
	And she lies over and over and over with emails.
	And sometimes I don't think we emphasize enough that classified material puts people in danger.
	The Democrats don't like Trump because he calls a liar a liar, someone who's corrupt, corrupt, and someone who's illegal, illegal.
	The Democrats instead embrace someone who lies repeatedly.
	They think that's great for their children.
	And Obama himself is engaged in activities that have harmed people, like with Fast and Furious and IRS.
	Story was just a story like my Uncle Bill used to tell.
	Just a story.
	I mean, that's the thing.
	It was fiction.
	It was nonsense.
	It was feel-goodism.
	And the difference between what this, this is a fantasy.
	This is an Alice in Wonderland worldview that is devoid of any truth in reality.
	Now, if people want to live the lie and not hear the truth about the terrible condition the country is in, et cetera, then we're going to get the results of not dealing head-on with problems.
	And that means that down the road, things are going to be a lot worse.
	I hope we don't make that decision.
