	We'd love to hear from you today.
	It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to join us.
	You know, this is a pretty amazing story.
	You want to talk about media bias?
	You want to talk about only, let's call it, I guess, well, when people get outraged, selective moral outrage.
	If Donald Trump is endorsed by somebody he doesn't even know or heard of, that's a white supremacist, do you denounce?
	That's the media's refrain.
	That's the media's question.
	That's the media's obsession.
	You can't say once, yeah, of course I renounced, denounced.
	I hate this guy.
	You say it once.
	Do you do it again?
	You need to do it a fourth time, and a fifth, and a sixth time.
	And the media keeps it alive again and again and again.
	Now, if Donald Trump has to answer for David Duke, well, I'm sure he doesn't even know and did denounce before, but the media, anytime David Duke says something, do you denounce him again?
	Do you denounce him now?
	Do you denounce him this second?
	Did you change your mind from three months ago when you said that about him?
	Anyway, are they going to make Hillary explain why the father of the guy who carried out the worst terrorist attack on America since 9-11 just endorsed her and was right behind her on stage?
	This is, again, I'm talking about the Orlando shooter.
	I mean, Sadiq Mateen is the father of this Orlando terrorist, the guy that killed 49 people and wounded 53 others at this Orlando nightclub on June 12th, not that long ago.
	There he was on screen for everybody to see, sitting directly behind Hillary Clinton at her rally.
	Campaign states they didn't know he was there until after the event.
	Were they going to remove him?
	Now the campaign has no comment on him.
	Why?
	They don't want to piss him off.
	They don't want to lose his support.
	They don't want to lose his vote.
	Is the media going to start scrutinizing and demanding that Hillary denounce this guy?
	Now, he did say, the father said, that God will punish gay people, that he supported the Taliban, a terrorist organization.
	Anyway, so his son carries out the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history in June at the Pulse Nightclub.
	Looked on as Clinton gave her speech in Kissimmee in Florida, and Mateen was spotted by a local affiliate from West Palm Beach, Channel 5, WPTV.
	Later in the interview with the station, the father endorsed Clinton.
	Hillary is very good for the United States versus Donald Trump.
	Was no solutions, said the father of the gunman.
	We've been cooperating with the federal government, and that's about it, he said to the station.
	And then in a statement to the press, the Clinton campaign said, well, the rally was a 3,000-person open-door event for the public.
	The individual wasn't invited as a guest.
	The campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event.
	Oh, but do you, what if it was a white supremacist that showed up at Donald Trump's rally?
	How would that be treated?
	But it runs deeper than this.
	And it's a question that nobody in the media asks her.
	Now, she hasn't had a press conference, maybe because of health issues.
	I don't know if you watched the Fox Medical Aid team last night analyzing all these issues involving Clinton's health.
	I've talked to more doctors that have gotten in contact with me and tell me, you know, by all appearances, she has a major, major health issue.
	And we'll get into that again tonight on Hannity.
	We have Donald Trump tonight also, and we're going to be live watching the results coming in from Paul Ryan's district.
	So that's going to be interesting.
	But imagine, here's the big question the media has never asked.
	Why did you take money from all these countries that practice Sharia law and that force women, tell women how to dress and don't allow women to drive, and women can't vote in some circumstances, and women need four male eyewitnesses if they're raped.
	Really?
	Four?
	So I guess three men can rape a woman, and you don't have a fourth one, and they all have to admit it to prove rape.
	You can't use DNA samples to say, okay, I doubt this woman had sex voluntarily with three different men, which is what we would do in this country because we respect women in this country.
	So the woman, the champion of women's rights, isn't it time for a woman to be pretty?
	Don't play it.
	Stop.
	I see you moving.
	You know, isn't it time?
	So she's the champion of women's rights, but when it comes to money, well, Hillary Clinton, all principles are put aside.
	How else do you explain taking money from the Saudis and the UAE and Kuwait and Omam?
	And they treat women horribly.
	And they put, in many instances, gays and lesbians to death.
	They just put a gay man to death in Iran on Friday.
	I thought we were friends with Iran now.
	I thought we hit the reset button with them after we gave them all the money and ransom money for hostages and all the money to build their nuclear program and their missile defense program and their conventional arms program so they can foment more terror as the number one state sponsor of terror.
	How do you justify taking money from countries that persecute women, kill gays and lesbians, are bigoted towards Christians and Jews?
	You can't build a temple and you can't build a Christian church.
	How do you justify any of that?
	Oh, and how many times has Hillary been asked that question?
	None at all.
	In Cleveland, Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Tom Kaine, they're not going to Cleveland on Sunday.
	Clinton's campaign said that the event was canceled due to time constraints, but they're going to be stopping in Youngstown instead before heading to Columbus.
	That was the plan.
	The event was canceled.
	It was originally billed as a Cleveland manufacturing event, but it turns out they had to cancel the event because of lack of interest.
	Wow.
	Yesterday, the Clinton rally only had a few dozen heavily vetted controlled supporters.
	Hillary Clinton won't give a press conference.
	Hillary Clinton's avoiding the media.
	Hillary Clinton doesn't have to answer questions about Saudi Arabia.
	It's pretty unbelievable.
	Pro-Hillary website is attacking Breitbart and Gateway Pundin for supporting Trump.
	Jim Hoft had a pretty interesting piece and take on this.
	You know, current polls show the race for president is tighter than it really is.
	And, you know, we have said this a long time ago that the liberal media, he points out Ann Coulter said this in her book, Slander.
	Democrats use the liberal media to manipulate and discourage conservatives from voting.
	I would argue they're trying to do that now.
	Don't believe anything about polls really until you go to the voting booth.
	You just have to assume that it's tied or you're behind and that your vote matters.
	That's how I'm handling this.
	I will not give a prediction who's going to win this presidential race because I don't know.
	If I knew for sure, I'd tell you.
	I'd share it with you.
	I'd share everything with you.
	But I'm not sharing this because I don't have an answer.
	And unlike other people that think they have all the answers, I don't.
	And I actually think whatever the events that will ultimately define the outcome probably have not even happened yet.
	But if you look at all the analysis, you know, Trump's doing much better on social media.
	I'll go into this later in the program today.
	And Breitbart cites Gateway Pundin to prove Trump will win in a landslide because he has more Facebook likes.
	No, they're just making a point.
	This is the first time in history where social media was used to announce vice presidential running mates.
	The world is changing.
	And I think it does matter how much enthusiasm.
	It's certainly an indicator beyond polls whether or not somebody is doing well.
	Now, I want to address something else here that I think few people want to address.
	Susan Collins today, senator from Maine, has joined others, including people that made the promise that they would support the winner: people like John Kasich and people like Jeb Bush and people like Lindsey Graham and Senator Ted Cruz.
	I don't consider Ted Cruz just a disappointment.
	They all made the promise.
	They all said they'd do it.
	And then, of course, you got Ben Sass.
	Ben Sass didn't like the fact that I told him that, in fact, his not supporting Trump if Trump wins at that time, because this was at CPAC.
	That's a half a vote for Hillary, and I stand by that.
	And I think Mike Lee, why isn't Mike Lee endorsed?
	Trump even put his own brother on a Supreme Court list.
	And I don't think he should do it for his brother, but I think it should be done on issues.
	You know, I gave an interview today to Oliver Darcy.
	He's a pretty nice guy.
	I don't know if you know Oliver Darcy, really good guy.
	And he had a number of questions for me.
	And one was about Paul Ryan and why are so many conservatives in the media against Paul Ryan?
	Well, I answered: I said, unfortunately, Congressman Ryan has decided to be like other National Republicans.
	And Congressman Ryan is more harsh in his criticism of Donald Trump than he's ever been in his career against Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
	And Republicans in general have been weak and feckless and spineless in stopping Obama's radical agenda.
	They've failed to use their constitutional enumerated power of the purse.
	They feared that they'd be blamed for a shutdown.
	And as a result, we now have record debt deficits and all the economic calamity that I talk about every day.
	That's all happening.
	They failed to repeal any aspect of Obamacare and defund it.
	And all this debt is in part their fault because they didn't stop it.
	And they didn't stop it because they didn't want to fight.
	And they didn't want to fight because they were caring more about their political viability in their own careers than they were about the country, in my opinion.
	You know, they didn't stop defunding what they described themselves as illegal and unconstitutional executive amnesty.
	And their argument is: well, we went to the courts.
	Well, you went to the courts over Obamacare because you punted on that.
	And you could have defunded aspects of it and had a showdown with the president, but you didn't want to.
	And then, you know, he goes on to ask me a bunch of other questions.
	And, you know, this is what I say.
	And I stand by this.
	And if Hillary Clinton does win, if she wins, Susan Collins, all these people that I'm mentioning here, if Hillary Clinton wins and picks Supreme Court nominees that will change the face of that court for generations, I blame all of you.
	I'm blaming you people because you're facilitating her.
	You're sabotaging your own party's candidate.
	Because Donald Trump listed his Supreme Court justices.
	They all seem to be originalist.
	They all seem to have a fidelity to the Constitution.
	They all seem to have a belief in co-equal branches of government, the concept of separation of powers.
	These are non-activist judges that he's put down, unlike what Hillary will put on the bench.
	Donald Trump's economic plan yesterday, I'll get into it in more details.
	It looked a lot like Reagan's.
	Well, Reagan picked when he came into office.
	I'll show this on TV tonight with Donald Trump.
	Reagan came into office.
	Interest rates, double-digit.
	Inflation, double-digit.
	Unemployment, double-digit.
	Interest rates were as high as 21%.
	People were beginning to think that the federal government was unmanageable.
	Well, Reagan dropped the top marginal rates from 70 to 28% in the course of his presidency.
	We doubled the revenues that the government had to spend.
	Think about the budget then, $500 billion over a trillion that they were taking in.
	And Reagan left with 21 million new jobs in the longest period of peacetime economic growth up to that point in history.
	Well, I see that happening if we have the right economic policies.
	You know, if refugees, the 550% increase that Hillary wants, make it into the country, and Jim Clapper and James Comey and Michael Steinbeck and Mike McCall and General John Allen are right that ISIS infiltrates that population and Hillary brings them in and doesn't vet them properly because she's politically correct and Donald Trump will insist they be vetted properly and they go on a killing spree or there's a terrorist attack by one of these people like it happened in Belgium,
	France, Paris and Great Britain and Europe.
	Well, I put the blame on Susan Collins and all these other people that I mentioned that aren't supporting John McCain, all of them.
	If an illegal immigrant comes into the country after, you know, we don't have a wall because Hillary wants open borders and they commit more crimes, who's responsible for that?
	All you Republicans that are facilitating this.
	If Obama cares the law of the land, it's already increased for the average family, $4,500 per family, and it goes up further.
	I blame all of you for this.
	If education continues to decline, I blame all of you for that too, because Trump will send education back to the States.
	And if coal miners lose their jobs and coal mining companies are out of business, well, I can blame all of you for that too.
	And if we're not energy independent, like Trump is pushing for, that's your fault as well.
	If the VA stays a broken, bureaucratic mess and our vets continue to die needlessly because we don't fulfill our promise to them, well, that's on your head as well.
	And we don't build up our military as a deterrent and something happens in that regard, well, you're partly responsible too as there.
	So all of you on your high horse and you don't, you know, you're more harsh towards Trump than you are towards Obama or Hillary, and you think you're higher and mightier than everybody else, then, you know, there will be consequences for your decisions.
	And I know some of you go, well, Hannity, you facilitated.
	No, I didn't.
	And I've got the proof that I haven't.
	I kept my promise.
	I promised that CPAC in 2015, I'd give access to every candidate and let people decide.
	I made the same thing in 2016.
	Hey, I know it's summer, and just because you got plenty of time on your hands, well, that doesn't mean that your hands are always free.

	Burt the Drudge headline yesterday, 2009, Hillary falls going to the White House.
	What did she break then?
	I forgot, her elbow, I think.
	In 2011, she fell boarding a plane.
	2012, she fell at home, had a blood clot issue.
	2016, Hillary conquers the stairs.
	There was another weird moment last night.
	Did you guys see that?
	Yesterday?
	Hillary's little blackout?
	Do you have the audio of it?
	I don't think it's as good.
	We'll show it on TV tonight.
	We had our Fox medical aid team on last night.
	And I got to tell you, they're saying we really need to see the real records.
	We need to see her Wall Street speeches where she got $250,000 to all the big insurance companies, all the big banks, all the people that are buying her influence.
	Let's see the speeches and let's see the medical records.
	She keeps talking about Donald Trump's tax returns.
	Let's talk about that.
	There is a lot of belief that this guy, I don't know if this is a flashlight, but there's a photograph showing a guy carrying what some are reporting to be a diazepam auto injector pen in his left hand.
	Now, I can't determine by my looking at it.
	Is it a flashlight?
	Because sometimes when you work backstage, they carry flashlights, little flashlights, so you can walk and see where you're going.
	And I've had that experience myself.
	Or is it really a diazepam auto injector pen?
	I don't even know about all this stuff.
	This is all new to me.
	I'm not, I should know more because my family has worked in medicine.
	I've heard more of these conversations.
	You know, the one thing that one doctor friend of mine is really convinced she had a stroke, and that some of her reactions are indicative that that's coming from the part of her brain where some damage happened.
	Now, as I understand it, a mini-stroke or TIA may not show up the same way on an MRI.
	But I remember my brother-in-law, a radiologist, would literally, he was at home and they would send him pictures.
	We'd be at family dinners, and he would have to go in and look at pictures, and he'd say, see, this is where the stroke took place right here.
	And I'd say, what does it mean for this person?
	And with perfect pinpoint accuracy and detail, he would describe what impact it would have on that portion of the brain in terms of the people's function.
	For example, if the stroke affected the area of the brain that impacts arm movement, well, you're going to have problems with your arms or impacted leg movement.
	You're going to have impact there or the frontal lobe or this or that.
	Anyway, so I don't think it's unfair to ask for her medical records.
	I mean, you know, there was a great analysis by Wesley Prudent in the Washington Times about Hillary's falls, you know, recall health questions that JFK tried to dodge.
	And what we since learned afterwards is that his back was in far worse shape than we ever knew, and that apparently he was on a mix of cocktails, drugs that had the public known, probably wouldn't have been comfortable with.
	So, anyway, something to pay attention to.
	Of course, the endorsement of the killer in Orlando and the guy that supports the Taliban and said God will punish gays and taking money from Saudi Arabia.
	Those would be good questions I'd like to see the media start asking.
	The RNC is suing the State Department for the release of Bill Clinton's schedule.
	That ought to make for interesting reading.
	Let's see.
	Chappaqua meeting with the Energizer, Secret Service nickname for his girlfriend.
	Limo to Westchester County Airport to catch a flight with what's his name, Epstein, to go to Orgy Island.
	That's at 11.
	9:30, he meets the Energizer, the girlfriend in Chappaqua.
	Then he gets a limo to take him to Westchester County Airport to fly out in Epstein's private jet to Orgy Island.
	And a conference call with Saudi donors, you know, about another $500,000 speech and promising that his wife will never question women that are stuck in burqas and told how to dress that can't drive persecution of gays, Christians, and Jews.
	You won't mention that part.
	I will say there was really a lot of good reaction among conservatives to the speech that Trump gave yesterday on the economy.
	And he gave the speech in Detroit.
	I thought the setting was really good.
	Both Michigan is a key state, and Detroit is a poster city for failures of modern liberalism.
	And on policy, the Trump speech had a lot of good elements in it.
	The best was the effort to cut the corporate income tax rate to 15%.
	Right now, our corporate tax rate is some of the highest in the industrialized world, if not the highest.
	Half the people in this country right now don't pay taxes, federal income taxes, and they won't pay federal income taxes.
	So the poor are not going to get hurt in spite of what Hillary Clinton said.
	He wants to simplify the tax code, which I think is a good idea.
	He wants to call for a moratorium and roll back all of the executive orders and economic regulations on businesses in this country.
	And so we'll have to see where that goes.
	What else do we got going on here today?
	All right, big time A.J. Houston, Texas.
	Big time A.J. Houston, Texas.
	What's going on, baby?
	Big time Sean Hannibal.
	Hey, good job on Joe Pax.
	I came on right behind you and gave you a shout out.
	Oh, you did?
	Awesome, baby.
	I love my buddy.
	I love my buddy, Joe Pax.
	He's a good guy.
	Hey, but hey, back to the idiot.
	Hey, now, wait a minute now.
	Put the shoe on the other foot.
	Now, if, you know, the father, the teleframe, the father, the killer, this guy that killed the gays in Florida.
	But now, how in the world, if they didn't know that this was the guy getting in there, wait a minute.
	And Hillary did her emails.
	Well, how in the world is she going to be able to protect our country?
	She don't even know how to bet.
	And then they try to get away with it by coming off with some dumb crap.
	Well, you know, this, that, that.
	Come on, people.
	America, I got to wake up and understand who you liberals are backing.
	Wake up and understand what's at stake for our country.
	Wake up and understand our kids will be in trouble if y'all put this crook in our White House.
	I said crook.
	Yes, I did.
	And another thing, Sean, Santa Claus did predict a Republican win.
	Don't y'all forget that.
	We will win this election.
	I want to win.
	What this media do.
	Listen, I'm not as confident as you.
	I cannot tell, I can't lie to my audience.
	The media onslaught, the abusively biased, unfair media in this country is a disgrace.
	Now, Donald Trump has now agreed to three debates with Hillary Clinton, but he did put out a couple of caveats and conditions.
	He's not happy with two of them coming opposite football.
	He's right on that.
	And I think the other one is he's got to have a right to pick who the person is.
	Look at what Candy Crowley did in the last cycle.
	Maybe I should host one of these debates.
	I'd love to ask Hillary Clinton about her money from Saudi Arabia.
	I'd love that.
	How about this?
	Me and Rachel Maddow.
	That'd be awesome.
	I think that'd be fun.
	Wait a minute.
	All right, enough out of you.
	Will you stop?
	I would do it a Harpy.
	That'd be great.
	Well, why would they?
	Sean, why would they do it on football night?
	And when everybody knows they want to see it, everybody listen.
	Carrie Underwood says it right.
	We're all waiting for Sunday night.
	We're all waiting for Monday night.
	I want to watch football.
	No, nobody.
	Yeah, you can't run it against football.
	It's just dumb.
	All that is is an attempt to bury it so Hillary doesn't look bad.
	It's not going to work either.
	But that's all right.
	Santa Claus predicted, and we've got to come through, people.
	Don't sell our country out like the rest of them GOP has done.
	Hey, as a Godfather, you know when he brought his son Michael back?
	If something he had to trip, some of the people in this room are going to pay for the voting.
	Get ready.
	Yep.
	Got to have this.
	Love you, Sean.
	Have a great one, baby.
	All right, big time, May J.
	I love you, my friend.
	God bless you.
	By the way, have you been watching any of the Olympics?
	I watched some of it.
	I love watching Michael Phelps.
	He won the relay freestyle.
	Has he won two now or one?
	One.
	Okay.
	He won two so far?
	Two gold medals?
	Yeah, I saw him win the team one.
	I didn't see him win the single one.
	He won the silver in the single?
	He won the gold in the team.
	Okay, so he's in the semifinal.
	So does he have a shot at the final of winning gold?
	Okay.
	And how far away was he from the winning time?
	Do you know?
	Ooh, 10 seconds is an eternity.
	You don't even, you don't have no idea.
	10 milliseconds.
	That's a big difference.
	10 milliseconds.
	I know, I know.
	Ethan's laughing at me.
	My husband laughs at me.
	It's 10 milliseconds, but it's not like milliseconds is a word I say every day.
	And then I was watching the Olympic, the girls' gymnastics, and I was watching, this was the night before, the team championship, and they beat the next closest competitor by 10 points, China.
	I do not understand.
	I'm watching these girls on the balance beam, and they're doing flips, and they're doing twists and turns and jumps.
	I'm like, that's insane to me.
	It's so athletic, but what impresses me the most about these kids, and well, the kids to me, okay, these athletes, I should say, is that they're not doing this for any money.
	Some of them, maybe the top, top people, get some kind of endorsement deal, but they will train their entire lives with the goal of representing their country.
	It's so amazing to me.
	And the level of skill is so phenomenally high.
	It is beyond impressive.
	Now, I could never, ever allow my daughter to do what these gymnasts do.
	I could not sit there and watch them on a balance beam doing flips and turns and twists.
	And, you know, I just couldn't watch it without freaking out.
	I took away the monkey bars in the backyard for crying out loud and the play, what do you call it, the playground thing?
	Because I just, I'm like twitching every time they move.
	And it drove me nuts.
	I didn't want to watch it anymore.
	So I got rid of it.
	One day they were away and I just said, oh, it broke down.
	Yeah, we'll get you another one soon.
	Oops.
	They're still waiting for it.
	And I finally told them the truth that daddy's a horrible father, and I got rid of it.
	I'm not a horrible father, but I just didn't want that.
	Anyway, there's also a magical moment last night.
	If you look at the Olympics, it's really a pinnacle of sports.
	I can't stand all the kumbaya.
	The opening ceremonies were horrible, unwatchable.
	It was so bad.
	But I am impressed by the athletes.
	And, you know, by the way, I can't wait for the media to turn on Michael Phelps again.
	Oh, gee, he was at a party and somebody was smoking pot.
	Oh, my.
	Remember, they tore him up?
	Media loves to build you up and tear you down.
	I like Michael Phelps.
	I think he's a great guy.
	He's a great champion.
	And every now, there was a magical moment.
	You know, what was the name?
	Lily King of the United States and, you know, Yulia, what's the name?
	Oma Mova?
	I don't know what it is.
	Yeah, they competed in the finals of the 100 meters women's breaststroke.
	Such a dramatic duel.
	I mean, King's an American.
	She's from Russia.
	There's more to it than that.
	The Russian was implicated in a doping scandal, yet on Friday, the swimming world's governing body decided without explanation to allow her to compete.
	And she had a, what, 16-month suspension she served in 2014 and 15, positive tests for DHEA, whatever the hell that is.
	I have no idea what any of this stuff is.
	And then reportedly tested positive again in March, triggering yet another suspension.
	Lily King, the 19-year-old American, registered her disapproval in words and gestures.
	And anyway, they allowed her to compete.
	So late last night, Rio time, they were perched on the starting block side by side, one lane next to the other, gold medal on the line.
	The tension was dramatic, and the race lived up to its billing, with King defeating by less than a second.
	That was pretty amazing.
	Won the gold afterwards, she said, it's incredible winning the gold medal and knowing I did it clean.
	Ooh, ouch.
	Take that, sucker.
	Love that.
	So my daughter's playing a tennis match not that long ago, and she's beating an older girl.
	And my daughter's very quiet.
	Hi, how are you?
	You never know that I don't know where this competitive spirit comes from.
	Probably a mother.
	I don't know.
	It's not me.
	Really?
	Really?
	Are you serious?
	What do you mean by that?
	The competitive streak comes from her mother.
	Well, no.
	All right.
	How about this?
	How about the good looks and the relative quiet comes from her?
	Well, I don't know if that's true either.
	At least you can't.
	Can't you?
	The good looks come from her.
	How's that?
	You know, don't be married to a talk show host.
	It's impossible.
	And then don't be married to a writer.
	If we fight, if we're arguing over attacks, she's going to win.
	We argue over talking.
	I'm totally going to win.
	Best thing is not to argue.
	Yeah, that would be a good one.
	But anyway, she gets her good looks from her mom.
	I'll say that.
	How's that?
	But anyway, she's competitive.
	The end of the match, the girl called my daughter an FB.
	Now, can you believe that?
	Now, I've been talking to my daughter about standing up for herself because she's very quiet, demure, somewhat shy, unless she knows you.
	If she knows you, she's a character.
	She doesn't know you.
	You think she doesn't talk.
	And so she calls me and she said, Daddy, I finally listened to you.
	I got right up in her grill.
	Use those words because I use these words at home.
	You got to get in your grill.
	Get right up on them.
	And I told her, you're the biggest cheater here, and everybody knows it.
	And by the way, look at the score.
	And she said, and she walked away.
	I was like, I'm so proud of you.
	I know some of you liberal parents out there, you're encouraging fighting.
	Well, yeah, I'm trying to teach my daughter martial arts.
	It's not really working to the extent that I would like, but that was a big step for her.
	In years gone by, she would let it all go.
	Sorry, but there are people that are cheat and mean, and that's life.
	That's why I like sports.
	You learn to win, you learn to lose.
	The harder you work, likely the better you're going to do.
	Just the way life is.
	Life's tough.
	All right, we've got a lot coming up in the course of the program today.
	Why did the father of the Orlando terrorist that supports the Taliban and says God's going to punish gays, why was he sitting behind Hillary last night?
	We're going to get into that more on the ransom money, too.
	You're going to meet one of the best snipers, real snipers in American military history with a lot of confirmed, a real American sniper.
	He'll join us next along with Jonathan Gillam.
	And I know how many people, family members, loved ones, and friends are still grieving.
	Notice the man right behind Secretary Clinton with the mustache and wearing a red hat.
	That's the father of the Orlando shooter.
	What were you thinking when she was talking about the Orlando incident?
	We've been helping.
	We were cooperating with federal government, FBI, and that's about it.
	Thank you.
	Sadiq Mateen didn't want to answer any other questions.
	Anything, sir?
	No.
	But just hours later, by chance, we ran into him at a rest stop on the way back to West Palm Beach.
	Clinton is good for the United States versus Donald Trump.
	He wanted to do an interview and showed us a sign he made for Hillary Clinton.
	So tell us why you wanted to stop and talk now.
	Well, I feel like to tell you why I stopped to talk to you, because it's very important for the United States of America, especially the election.
	I was invited by the Democratic Party.
	Just like a come support Hillary, just a regular chain email or a personal invitation?
	So it came out.
	I'm a member.
	So as a member, I get the invitation.
	So it's nothing particular about it.
	What went into your decision about going to this event right near Orlando where this Pulse nightclub shooting happens?
	I wish we, because I spoke a lot about that, and I wish that my son joined the army and fought ISIS and destroyed ISIS.
	That would be much better.
	Did Hillary Clinton's campaign know that you were going to that event and sitting right directly behind her?
	It's a Democratic Party, so everybody can join.
	All right, now that was the father of the Orlando shooter commenting after he, remember, his son killed 49 people, wounded 53 at this Orlando nightclub on June 12th of this year.
	And there he was sitting directly behind Hillary Clinton at her big campaign rally.
	And this is a guy.
	He's cheering Hillary at the rally, saying God will punish gays, supporting the Taliban.
	And it's all part of a pattern that it seems that the left constantly contradicts their own stated values when it comes to radical Islamists.
	Hillary takes money from countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia and countries that kill gays and lesbians and are misogynistic and women are third-class citizens.
	And you can't build a temple.
	You can't build a Christian church.
	Anyway, that's only part of the information.
	We have the Obama administration now is pushing not just the 10,000 Syrian refugees.
	Now they're up to 30.
	By the way, our two Sean Hannity show, 800-941 Sean, is a number of you want to be a part of the program.
	We also have the update on this U.S. Iranian hostage talking about what he saw on the tarmac.
	They couldn't leave or taxi until the money landed in Tehran.
	In other words, the ransom money.
	And there's something that Franklin Graham said that we on this program have been pointing out on a regular basis.
	We had Nahrain and Wea on the program last week talking about Christian genocide around the world.
	The rest of the world is ignoring it.
	Franklin Graham said ISIS is committing genocide on Christians and the entire world is silent.
	And of all the refugees, the 30,000 now that Obama wants to bring in, the 550% increase that Hillary wants to have, in spite of all our national intelligence officials, top officials, saying that ISIS will infiltrate that population like they did in Great Britain and Germany and France and Belgium and all of Europe, they're going to take them in anyway and they're going to gamble with your lives.
	Anyway, here to discuss, debate, talk about it.
	Nick Irving is the author of Way of the Reaper, My Greatest Untold Missions and the Art of Being a Sniper.
	I love snipers, man.
	You're kick-ass.
	Your stories are unbelievable.
	I appreciate it.
	Jonathan Gillum, former Navy SEAL and FBI agent, Federal Air Marshal.
	Welcome all of you guys.
	Let me guess.
	First, I got to talk about your sniper days, because I just can't get enough of this.
	Because we all saw American Sniper.
	Yep, yep.
	Chris was up there.
	You knew him.
	I heard about him when I was overseas.
	I had a chance to actually meet him and talk to him in Las Vegas.
	But we used to hear stories about the devil of Vermadi and all those crazy stories and whatnot.
	And I'm sure he heard a few of mine, too.
	You know in the movie when they have that scene where he takes out the other sniper?
	Yep.
	Okay, that's a true story, right?
	From what I know, yeah, that was a true story.
	And from that distance, what was it, a thousand yards?
	Oh, that's easy.
	That's easy.
	That was a piece of cake.
	Oh, yeah.
	My longest shot on target on a steel target was 2,022 yards.
	Wow.
	On a human being was actually about half a mile.
	How many confirmed kills for you?
	And by the way, I don't say this with glee, but this is our.
	But I say this.
	This is our enemy.
	They want to kill our soldiers.
	You're saving their lives.
	So to me, you're a hero.
	To me, I look up to you.
	To me, you're like, you know, I want to be you in my next life.
	When you say this number, that's lives saved.
	Our lives saved.
	Every time he has a confirmed kill, that's our lives.
	Every time it's a confirmed kill, what it really means is that it could be a thousand lives saved.
	We just don't know.
	How many confirmed?
	In three and a half months, I had about 33, and the six deployments that I had, I lost count after my second deployment.
	Remember the scene in American Sniper when Chris is talking to the guy and he said, I'm ready to go to heaven and account for every shot I took.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	And you feel the same way?
	I feel the same exactly.
	Because if you didn't feel the same way, I would tell you you're wrong.
	Yeah.
	And I wouldn't do the job that I did.
	My motto is our motto, we do bad things to bad people.
	And I believe 100% in that.
	If there's bad people on this earth that need to be taken care of, then send me.
	You're badass.
	Jeez.
	Were you like this as a kid?
	Yeah.
	I wanted to be a sniper ever since the sixth grade.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah, sixth grade.
	I'm in my first skilly suit, and my mom used to be a little bit more.
	So the fact that I'm a pistol marksman means nothing to you.
	Absolutely zip.
	No, a pistol's actually a really good discipline to have.
	It is.
	Really good discipline.
	I'm getting older.
	I can't see anymore.
	I actually put a laser on my Glock.
	Oh, nothing wrong with that at all.
	I can't see.
	I honestly, my.
	Why are you laughing in there?
	Everyone's laughing.
	Grandpa in there needs a laser on his Glock.
	No, I would get a, yeah, definitely keep the laser.
	Maybe get a red dot sight on top of it.
	Yeah, I got that too.
	Oh, then you're good.
	Yeah, I'm good.
	I'm good.
	And look, you've done this a lot of work that you, a lot of covert operations that you can't talk about, Jonathan.
	We're not leaving you out of this.
	We like you, but we really love him.
	Because you know what?
	There are liberals listening to this now.
	Hannity is praising a killer.
	I'm like, yeah, I'm praising the guy that saved American lives.
	I am thanking him for his service, his courage, his commitment, and the fact that Americans live because he's so gifted and talented.
	Liberals should start looking at this as the reality of what it is, which is you are the eliminator of the threats that we can't see when the tactical units are on the ground.
	That eliminator of threats, I would stand by him in the presence of the Lord himself and vouch for you and the work that they've done because it's not just doing bad things to bad people.
	It's doing the right thing to the bad people who want to go against our troops and those who support and stand up and fight for freedom.
	Yeah.
	What do you make of the Orlando killer's father, a guy that said God is going to punish gays, supports the Taliban.
	He supports, obviously, you know, this whole Sharia nonsense.
	Sure.
	Why is he in our country?
	Well, first off, he's just as delusional as the person that he was sitting behind the other day, thinking that he's going to become the president of Afghanistan.
	And he's standing behind the woman who's delusional, thinking that she'll be a great president for the United States.
	I will tell you this, Sean.
	I've been privy, as you have, to who sits behind those people, the candidates.
	They are hand-picked.
	Nobody gets up there without people knowing, specific people knowing who they are.
	And that was a plant just to do what we're doing today, which is to talk about this and get away from the fact that Hillary Clinton herself is a criminal.
	I mean, it's all of the above.
	If you give ransom to kidnappers, the obvious thing that's going to happen is there's going to be more kidnapping, right?
	Okay.
	What do you make of one of the hostages on the tarmac actually saying they couldn't take off until the money arrived?
	And the Iranians releasing now video of all of this.
	And I'm thinking, okay, they're a bunch of liars.
	And they just broke every American.
	They might have even, according to Andy McCarthy, they might have actually violated banking laws and money laws and all that sort of thing.
	But that doesn't matter to this administration.
	But the idea that you're going to pay ransom means we're going to have more Americans taken hostage, right?
	Simple formula.
	Well, who appropriated that money?
	Because Congress is supposed to be the one that appropriates those types of funds.
	And nobody was notified about that.
	If that was secret money coming from the agency, but was going to somebody like Iran, we've just seen this too many times, again and again, just like Benghazi, Syria, Iraq, and it's biting us in the rear every time they do it.
	Let alone it's done for completely political reasons, which I know Nick will back me up on this.
	People have gotten out of the military, great warfighters, because they're tired of fighting a political war that's being waged when it's convenient by our politicians.
	This is one of my reasons that I was for the Iraq war.
	You know that.
	I thought it was the right thing to do.
	I think Bush made the right call.
	I'm proud of the difficult fight that our guys had to be in.
	But they fought and they took Baghdad and Mosul and Ramadi and Fallusha and to Crete and they owned it.
	They had to make adjustments.
	The surge actually worked.
	We had all of that territory captured by our guys and we were working towards the process of eventually being able to turn it over to the Iraqis themselves.
	A lot of mistakes were made.
	You were supposed to have a government that was a coalition with Shia, Sunni.
	Didn't work out.
	And lo and behold, in comes the politicizing of this war, not unlike Vietnam.
	We lost 5,000 here in Afghanistan.
	We lost 58,000 in Vietnam.
	And then once it's politicized, we pull out and it creates an opening for ISIS.
	And if I'm the parent of one of those dead kids or one of these kids that lost their arms or legs or both or had their brains blown out and they're barely alive, I'm pissed.
	I feel my government sent my kid to go fight a war that they had no intention of actually winning.
	And I don't think we can do this anymore to the men and women in military.
	I agree 100%.
	And every one of those places that you named, I fought in.
	I was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
	Takrit, Mosul, Baghdad, all those places, Ramadi.
	And a lot of bloodshed happened there.
	And to see that place being overrun by ISIS now because the politics got involved and we were not allowed to do our jobs the way we were designed to do our jobs allowed this plant to grow and that plant is ISIS.
	All that weed is ISIS.
	We should have been allowed to actually do our job when we were there.
	But the thing is, we can't acknowledge evil in our time.
	I mean, the fact that they can't say radical Islam to me, it defies any logic that I have in my head or that's saying they're the JV team, ISIS is, and they're contained when they're obviously not contained, and that we're only helping their recruiting when we say radical Islam, and then coming up with ridiculous euphemisms, man-caused disasters, workplace violence is insanity to me.
	It's like not being able to say the Nazis are Nazis.
	You know, Sean, there's two big issues going on right now that people can look at.
	One, people like General John Allen, who came into his place in the military during the Bill Clinton era and rose kind of to his prominence as a general in that era.
	At that point in time, warfighters were getting out during the Clinton era.
	And you had spineless political military leaders like Allen who stay in and now are back in Hillary Clinton like a prostitute on the street.
	You have guys like this that stayed in.
	The other problem that you're having is if you look at what Sololinsky taught Hillary Clinton and was passed down to Barack Obama, the way they organize in communities by causing disruption in a city so that they can downtrodden the people who are out there achieving so that they quote unquote can make it even with those in the inner city.
	They're doing the same thing in the Middle East.
	That's why when you had a surge that worked, Barack Obama came in and ended it as fast as possible.
	Well, you guys are amazing, and I look up to both of you.
	And, you know, the fact that you guys were on the front lines and you're willing to sacrifice for your country and you're committed to victory, and then it becomes politicized.
	It's really a slap in the face to every man, woman, and every man and woman in the military, in my view.
	And we're absolutely not supporting the people that we send to go fight these wars.
	All right, so you wrote this book, Nick, and I've got to let you go in a minute.
	It's called Way of the Reaper: My Greatest Untold Missions and the Art of Being a Sniper.
	You tell the stories.
	Oh, yeah.
	I covered a timeframe from about 2004 to 2010.
	Six deployments, 10 of my greatest missions.
	A post from the last book, I only covered three and a half months where I killed 33 guys, but this one is way more intense.
	I wanted the reader to actually feel like they're on the deployment with me, just non-stop action.
	Yeah, I mean, this has to be made into a movie.
	You know that.
	I want the rights to the movie.
	You can have it.
	There you go.
	You could even, you would be a.
	Doesn't he have movie star looks?
	I'm going to play him.
	I like that.
	Either you or Tom Cruise or something like that.
	You don't look anything like him.
	I'm just going to get a little bit darker.
	You've got to go your hair.
	It's a beach all weekend.
	You got to grow your hair.
	By the way, you're a ton older and you gained a lot of weight.
	I don't know.
	Muscle.
	This is muscle.
	This is not a bulking stage, man.
	I think I'm stronger than you now for Prime Minister.
	Oh, come on.
	Mr. Navy SEAL.
	You know, because you know, I do all these martial arts.
	So every time he comes in here, I'm like, come on, hit me, hit me, hit me as hard as you can.
	I don't want to hit Sean Hannity as hard as I can.
	Wow.
	I wouldn't want to do that.
	The American people.
	I didn't say hit me in the face, just hit me in the stomach.
	Well, I don't hit to show somebody that I can hit.
	Listen, Glenn, my sensing hits the crap out of me.
	I'm black and blue every day, man.
	That's just how I roll.
	Anyway, Nick, good to see you again, buddy.
	Thank you so much.
	I'm really, I'm honored to call your friend, Jonathan.
	I'm always honored to call your friend.
	You're a good man.
	You got it.
	All right, guys.
	Appreciate it.
	800-941 Sean, toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program.
	All right, how bad is the economy?
	And can we actually fix this?
	And we'll compare it to what Reagan inherited and how he got us out of the mess when we come back with Stephen Moore.
	Now let's look at what the Obama-Clinton policies have done nationally.
	Their policies produced 1.2% growth, the weakest so-called recovery since the Great Depression.
	It's been written about all over.
	It's a disaster.
	And a doubling of the national debt during the Obama years.
	There are now 94.3 million Americans outside of the labor force.
	It was 80.5 million when President Obama took office.
	An increase of 14 million people.
	The Obama-Clinton agenda tax, spend, and regulate has created a silent nation of jobless Americans.
	Homeownership is at its lowest rate in 51 years.
	Nearly 12 million people have been added to the food stamp.
	And these people are growing and it's growing so rapidly since President Obama took office.
	Another nearly 7 million people, great Americans, are right now living in poverty.
	Poverty.
	Okay?
	Poverty.
	We have the lowest labor force participation rates in four decades.
	58% of the African American youth are either outside of the labor force or not employed.
	One in five American households do not have a single member in the labor force, not a single member of a household.
	These are real unemployment numbers.
	The 5% figure is one of the biggest hoaxes in American modern politics.
	We have been trying to, by the way, 25 to the top of the R800941 Sean, we have been trying to tell anybody that will listen that story.
	We have taken on more debt than every other president before Obama combined.
	He said once $9 trillion was irresponsible and unpatriotic.
	Well, now it's going to be more than every other president, all 43 presidents before him combined.
	The lowest, well, we have the lowest home ownership rate in 51 years, the worst recovery since the 1940s, the lowest labor participation rate since the 1970s.
	12 million more Americans on food stamps.
	Thank you, Mr. Obama.
	7 million more in poverty.
	Thank you for your great work on the economy.
	And if you look at the one in five American households, not a single person in that household works.
	I'll add one other statistic.
	One in six American men, 18 to 34, their prime working years, their strongest working years, is either in jail, incarcerated, or living in mommy and daddy's basement or on the streets.
	This is not the first rodeo for America struggling with tough economic times.
	But, you know, Hillary's like, well, we're going to go back to the Reagan years.
	I'm going to put all of this in front of you tonight.
	Donald Trump will be on Hannity on the Fox News channel.
	Well, what did Ronald Reagan inherit?
	Ronald Reagan inherited an economic malaise, as it was called.
	Double-digit inflation, double-digit unemployment, double-digit interest rates, 17, 18, 19, 20%.
	And Reagan put in place the largest tax cuts in American history.
	He dropped throughout his presidency the top marginal tax rate from 70 to 28 percent.
	By the way, John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, did the same thing.
	The principle of rising tide lifts all boats.
	Hillary said yesterday, we don't need to go back to trickle-down economics.
	Okay.
	So Reagan took on all of this malaise.
	You know, imagine 19% interest rates, 21%, unemployment double digits, inflation out of control.
	What happened?
	Reagan, by the end of his eight years, gave us the longest period of peacetime economic growth.
	He doubled the revenues to the federal government.
	Want to know how much government has grown?
	It went from $500 billion in 1980 to over a trillion in terms of revenues coming into the government.
	He literally created 21 million new jobs in America.
	We had quarters of growth that were as high as 8%, not the 1.2%, the slowest.
	Obama will be the first president never in a year to reach 3% GDP growth ever, the first president in our history.
	You know, look at 1.2%.
	It's recessionary for crying out loud.
	So Donald Trump laid out his plan yesterday.
	That includes the biggest tax cut since Reagan.
	Hillary calls it trickle-down economics.
	Well, I'll take 21 million new jobs created.
	I'll take a doubling of revenue to the federal government.
	I'll take the longest peacetime economic growth in history up to that point.
	Take it now.
	Anyway, joining us now is Stephen Moore.
	And Stephen is apparently working with the Trump campaign.
	He's the chief economist at the Heritage Foundation, one of Trump's economic policy advisors, and he's here to talk about the speech and more.
	How are you, sir?
	Mr. Moore.
	Hi, Sean.
	Great to be with you.
	By the way, I'm one of those fathers who has one of those 18 to 30-year-olds in my basement.
	Oh, my God.
	That's exactly what you're talking about.
	And it's tough for young people to get a decent job.
	You know, Obama talks about, well, look, we created, I forget the number, he says, 10 million jobs.
	Yeah, but if you look at the jobs, they're Walmart jobs, they're Burger King jobs, they're McDonald's jobs.
	I mean, you can't raise a family on them.
	And the one statistic, I love the array of statistics that you just laid out, Sean, but I'm going to add another one.
	It has been 12 years since the average American middle-class worker got a pay raise in this country.
	And that's what we're going to skewer Hillary on that because think about this, Sean.
	Can you name a single thing?
	Can you name a single thing that Hillary Clinton would do that's different than what Barack Obama has done?
	No.
	As a matter of fact, she's praised his economy.
	And if you're praising those, I have no idea.
	Right.
	I mean, she's talking about raising the minimum wage.
	And by the way, she's giving her major speech on Thursday in Detroit.
	She wants to raise the minimum wage, raise taxes on rich people, more public works projects.
	Where have we seen that before?
	You talked about the $9 trillion increase in the debt under Obama.
	You know, I work for Ronald Reagan.
	There was an increase in the debt under Reagan.
	But think of what we got.
	You know, you mentioned the fact that we turned around the American economy hugely.
	But the other thing we did was we won the Cold War.
	So we borrowed to defeat the evil empire.
	We've borrowed three times as much under Obama.
	What did we get for it?
	What did we get for it?
	Well, the thing is, you know, when $9 trillion in debt is unpatriotic and irresponsible, what is $21 trillion in debt?
	What do we call that?
	Exactly right.
	But I thought, look, I was there with Donald Trump yesterday in the room in the convention center there.
	You know, by the way, I don't know if you know this, Sean, but it was supposed to be in a little small arena with 300 former people in an auditorium, and they had to move it to the convention center because 1,800 people showed up.
	And there was an electricity in there.
	Anybody who says that Donald Trump isn't going to win this election, if he stays on this message of jobs, growth, and taking it to Hillary and just accentuating these differences, he's for pro-American energy.
	We can become the Saudi Arabia of energy in this country.
	You and I have talked about this.
	We produce our oil, our gas, and our coal.
	And Hillary's position is keep it in the ground.
	She's in the hip pocket of the Sierra Club and these left-wing environmental groups.
	Here's some very, very simple things we can do.
	I think Trump, when he pointed out, number one, the bad economic policies and the absolute suffering of people that live in Detroit, you can add to that people that live in Baltimore or any city that has been under real Democratic rule for any length of time.
	And I would even say New York is in decline, and I'd say New Jersey is in decline, and all the people that have money are beginning to leave these states in droves and billions of dollars keep leaving.
	But if you do a few fundamental things, and I'm not saying you have to rework the wheel here, but fundamentally, you can't have the highest corporate tax rate and incentivize business to spend money.
	You can't have the 2,000-plus regulations that Obama has added while he is president and expect corporations to make money and to be able to compete, especially in a world market.
	You can't force businesses to pay ridiculous wages when the average wage for the average worker in China is $4,700 a year.
	We can't possibly compete with that.
	But if we did some simple things, if we would drop the corporate tax rate to incentivize corporations to be here, not overseas, if we would allow the repatriation of the trillions of dollars overseas that are parked by multinational corporations, say, bring your money here at a very low rate and build your factories and manufacturing centers here.
	That's going to help Michigan, Detroit.
	That's going to help Ohio.
	That's going to help Pennsylvania.
	That's going to help Wisconsin.
	And that's going to help a lot of cities and towns.
	And then the third thing is, if you believe it, if you move away, you really nailed it.
	I mean, if you look at the places in decline in the United States, like Baltimore and like my home city of Chicago and Detroit and Cleveland, who's run those cities for the last 50 years?
	I mean, if you want to see what liberalism, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton liberalism leads to, you go to Detroit and you go to inner city Chicago and you see, you know, there's no law and order there.
	There's not only shooting the people, they're shooting the police there.
	There's no good schools.
	And by the way, I want to see the Republicans talk more about school choice as a way of really liberating low-income people.
	And, you know, there's just no safety and there's no jobs.
	And what Trump did yesterday, there's a reason he gave that speech in Detroit.
	He said we can rebuild these great cities.
	And we can.
	We can do that, Sean.
	These cities can be rebuilt with the kind of jobs we used to have, but now with these liberal policies, we've got to have pro-tax cuts.
	And you left out one thing, Sean, and I like the way you summarize, but I want to add one other thing we feel very proud of.
	Not only are the big corporations going to get that 15% rate, but every small business in America, the Korean grocery store down the street, is going to pay 15%.
	That is going to be a huge.
	By the way, that is the most New York thing you've ever said.
	I don't think the average person understands that.
	But let me just say this.
	And nobody seems to really understand this because clearly she is playing Hillary class warfare, and she did yesterday.
	Well, Obama's record is nothing to brag about.
	As a matter of fact, it's been one of the steepest economic declines in history.
	Number one, number two, if you really listen closely to what she's saying, we're going to continue those policies.
	But if we did these simple things and added energy independence to it, every American gets a good paying job and the economy turns around.
	And then we can work on things like, all right, reigning in government spending, expansion, and the bureaucracy and the regulation.
	And then that leads to an opportunity to save Social Security and Medicare.
	Yeah, the key is growth.
	Unless we put people back into jobs, unless we get these businesses back in the United States, we're never going to balance the budget.
	I'm just laughing when I read the Washington Post, New York Times, all these news stories today trashing Trump's plan.
	It's going to blow a big hole in deficit.
	I'm like, really?
	You're talking about the guy who just raised when have you heard them trash Obama for raising the debt by $9 trillion?
	I mean, the double standard here, I've never seen anything like it before.
	Yeah, it's really, really bad.
	Let me ask on this question.
	Do you think, with all the distractions that the media are putting into play here, do you think that this message of the differences economically on foreign policy, on health care, on energy, on refugees, on immigration, do you think that's going to break through in the end and elect Trump because there's so much bias in the media?
	Yeah, I mean, look, Trump has to do one.
	I'm one of his advisors.
	I have nothing but respect and admiration for the man.
	He has to stay up.
	He has to not talk about Muslims and not talk about Paul Ryan and so on.
	If he talks only about the economy and fighting terrorism between now and November 7th, he will win this election in a landslide because every single Hillary Clinton.
	I mean, nobody wants to vote for her, really.
	I mean, you know, we're so sick of the Clintons, frankly.
	And so I think if Trump, the answer to your question is, yeah, if he stays focused like a laser beam on his economic program and contrasting, he did a great job yesterday of saying, look, I'm for a 15% tax on businesses.
	She's for $45.
	I'm for pro-American energy.
	She's for building windmills.
	I'm for getting rid of Obamacare.
	She's for double-downing.
	You just repeat that over and over again, you win the election.
	Yeah, I agree with you.
	I think that's the message for the next 90 days.
	No doubt about it.
	All right, Steve Moore, appreciate it.
	800-941.
	Sean, we have time for one quick call here.
	Tammy is in Virginia Beach, WNIS.
	How are you?
	I'm good.
	How are you doing?
	I'm good.
	You got a minute.
	It's all yours.
	Okay, great.
	And Sean, I just want to say thanks for being a voice for the people day in and day out.
	Appreciate everything you do.
	Oh, thanks.
	Quick, just wanted to let you know that I believe those establishment Republicans are publicly defecting from the party because the status quo, Hillary, is better than what Trump represents.
	I think they know that Trump will bust up the good old Boys and Girls Club in Washington, put a big old hole in the gravy boat, much like Sarah Palin did when she ran for governor in Alaska.
	And it just gets my dander up.
	You know, the arrogance of the politicians that we elect an employ to do the people's bidding, and they don't.
	And now we want change.
	And they all call us crazy for wanting an outsider.
	Yeah, well, I'm going to tell you something.
	The Republicans caused Donald Trump, created Donald Trump.
	Now they're opposing Donald Trump.
	But what they're really doing is they are enabling Hillary.
	And, you know, that's why I say I'm keeping all of these names on notice if Trump loses.
	And I think he can win this election.
	I don't have a crystal ball.
	I think he can win the election.
	And I'm not in the prediction business.
	I always assume that you're down and behind and you got to fight like you're down and behind.
	I think that's the best way to approach any challenge.
	But I'll tell you, I'll blame the guys at the Wall Street Journal.
	I'll blame the Paul Ryans of the world, the John Kasichs of the world.
	I'll blame the Jeb Bushes of the world, the people like Lindsey Graham and John McCain, and everybody else that had done everything they can do to undermine Donald Trump in a way that they would never challenge Hillary and never challenge the Obama agenda.
	You know what?
	Just on all just the simple agenda items I mentioned are reason enough to vote for Trump.
	Anyway, thank you.
	800-941 Sean is a toll-free number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	News Roundup Information Overload is coming up next.
	John, I know the media is obsessed with Donald Trump.
	I'm not going to respond to every single thing that Donald Trump has to say or that Hillary Clinton says.
	I'm not going to follow the back and forth and the campaign trail.
	What's ultimately going to matter in the long term is not who won or lost a week in the campaign, but whether the American people are safe.
	You mentioned the Iranian scientist that was recently executed.
	Now, of course, I'm not going to comment on what he may or may not have done for the United States government.
	But in the emails that were on Hillary Clinton's private server, there were conversations among her senior advisors about this gentleman.
	That goes to show just how reckless and careless her decisions was to put that kind of highly classified information on a private server.
	I think her judgment is not suited to keep this country safe.
	Okay, and that's not her judgment.
	All right, that was from earlier.
	Now, I want to just add something here.
	There's a lot of speculation.
	We have a lot of poll numbers out today, and we can share the poll numbers.
	And, you know, if you look at the poll pack, there's an analysis that was put out.
	It was on GatewayPundit by longroom.com and a website that did something I think it's interesting, and that is with the last batch of polls.
	And that's, you know, the media is trying to convince the voters now that it's over for Trump, that it's a lost cause.
	They're trying to deflate people's motivation, tell them that there's no hope in this.
	Now, this longroom.com, I saw it via Gateway Pundit, has literally gone through all of the latest polling numbers, adjusted the polling sample of the last four surveys to match exactly the actual percentages of registered Democrats, registered Republicans in every voting precinct across the country.
	This kind of overrides the so-called scientific turnout assumptions that the mainstream media pollsters make, which in recent surveys and recent polls have the Democrats up anywhere from three to what, 15 points, even though turnout, primary turnout for the GOP was 5% higher than the Democrats.
	Anyway, so when you adjust those samples to match the actual party affiliation of all registered voters, well, Longview's argument and analysis is that Trump has a slim lead over Hillary, 43-4 to 42-8.
	In other words, a dead heat for the most part.
	Kellyanne Conway is making the argument, and we've had her on TV and radio a bunch, that, in fact, there's a silent majority out there, people, a hidden Trump vote that's not going to show up in the polls.
	So that's pretty interesting, but I'm not going to go by any of this.
	Here's my take.
	We're 90, what, one days out of the election.
	Anybody can win.
	Anybody.
	And I think that events that have not happened yet will probably determine who the winner of this election is.
	If people focus on the issues, which the media does not want you to focus on, I think Donald Trump wins.
	If the media narrative is so loud and so dominating and so overwhelming, advancing Hillary's false narratives, then her chances of winning are that much better.
	And it wouldn't surprise me.
	You know, add to that the Susan Collins's of the world, you know, the whole anti-Trump brigade out there.
	You know, you have one writer, Kathleen Parker.
	I wonder if Trump has brain damage.
	Susan Collins, Maine.
	I can't support Trump.
	Then, of course, the Never Trumpers, they just can't stop themselves.
	So they get this Evan McMullen, a CIA vet and House of Representative Conference chief policy director.
	Oh, we'll run him as a third party and try and get votes away.
	It's all in an effort so they can turn the fingers on you, including the presidential candidates, and say, you were dumb.
	You never should have, in record numbers, nominated this guy to be president.
	That's what their hope is.
	Their hope is, and what they're doing is enabling Hillary.
	And unfortunately, they are doing some damage.
	That's just a fact.
	Now, if you look at some other measures, now this is a time where probably for the first time in, well, we know, for example, that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton announced their VP selections via social media.
	If you look at social media, there's a lot of polls done.
	Okay, if you take the aggregate polls on Real Clear Politics, Trump's down about seven against Hillary.
	But there are other indicators that we never had before that I think give some indication about how people are feeling about the race.
	And the newest one is the presence, the popularity of candidates, not just at events, but on social media.
	Like, for example, the well-respected blogger, a gateway pundit, I think this was Jim Hoft.
	Was it Hoft?
	Yeah.
	And Truth Division actually did a Facebook analysis.
	For example, on Facebook, Trump has 10,174,358 likes.
	On Facebook, Hillary has half that at 5,385,959 likes.
	Trump has nearly double the amount of likes that Hillary has.
	When comparing recent live streams on Facebook, Trump live stream posts 135,000 likes, 18,000 shares, 1.5 million views.
	Clinton live stream, 11,000 likes, zero shares, and 321,000 views.
	Trump's crushing Hillary.
	All right, now we can look at Twitter.
	Trump has 10.6 million followers.
	Hillary, 8.1 million followers.
	Trump has 30% more.
	And that translates into real votes if it does.
	And a recent study confirmed that 70% of his followers are real supporters.
	90% of those real followers have a voting history.
	Who knows if Hillary's followers are even real?
	Ben reports that they're not.
	I don't know how these people do it, but a lot of people apparently can find a way to build up their Twitter number of followers with phony accounts.
	I have no idea what they do.
	I guess they pay for it.
	There's a service that follows you or something.
	I don't know.
	On YouTube, Trump averages 30,000 people live views per stream.
	Clinton averages 500.
	That's a 5,900% difference between Trump and Clinton.
	That's devastation.
	If you look at Instagram, Trump's got 2.2 million, Clinton, 1.8 million, a 22% advantage for Trump.
	On Reddit, Trump has 97,696 subscribers.
	Hillary has 24,429.
	Hillary for Prison has twice that number at 55,228.
	So Hillary for Prison's Reddit feed has more than double the subscribers of Hillary's Reddit page, equating to Trump having a 700% more advantage of Reddit subscribers.
	So what does this mean?
	Does it mean anything?
	Anyway, joining us now on our News Roundup Information Overload Hour, Luke Chung.
	He's the president of FMS Inc., Brian Finch, co-chair of the cybersecurity practice at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman.
	Thank you both for being with us.
	Appreciate you being here.
	Thank you for having me here.
	All right, so what does that mean to you, Luke Chung?
	Because this was not a measure we could use in past elections.
	And are maybe Trump supporters overly optimistic by those numbers, or do you think they mean something?
	Oh, I think there definitely is enthusiasm.
	And that's a good way of measuring how many people are engaged.
	Not just the number of likes, but on Twitter, the number of retreat tweets.
	And on Facebook, the number of shares and likes would indicate, more likely indicate real people as opposed to, say, fake accounts.
	Yeah.
	And how do the fake accounts get added to people's total of followers?
	How does that happen?
	There are services that one can purchase where I guess people in India or China or wherever low wages are are hired to just create fake accounts and like things or link things.
	And those are usually pretty easy to detect because you can do some research and find out that those people don't really have active accounts.
	So has anyone analyzed Hillary's?
	The last time I heard, like half or more were phony accounts.
	That I wouldn't know.
	Now, what's your take on all this, Brian?
	Is this an indicator of maybe something that's not being measured by polls?
	I think that's absolutely right, Sean.
	You know, I was actually talking to the true expert about this, my wife.
	She's the co-founder of a company called Social Assurity that does measurement and social media education and training for individuals and businesses.
	And the trend is really looking at social media versus traditional journalism like the mainstream media websites for information on individuals and to catch trends.
	I mean, it's something that education, higher education, colleges look at it for applications, businesses look at it for recruiting.
	And so you really cannot discount.
	In fact, you really do have to look at this and say, what's trending on the social media websites like Facebook and Twitter and Snapchat and all these others versus what's going to be published on the front page of the New York Times or the Washington Post?
	I mean, you and I know this as well as anybody at this point.
	You can just count on the New York Times and other mainstream medias to be basically a campaign media organ of Democratic establishment at this point.
	When you see an article that is somewhat favorable to Trump or somewhat negative on Hillary, that's almost in and of itself a news event in one of those outlets rather than being sort of objective journalism.
	There's no such thing as objective journalism anymore.
	I mean, they're all a bunch of paid hacks.
	CNN has clearly gone in the tank.
	They're back to be in the Clinton News Network.
	MSNBC, the exact same thing.
	It's 24-7 every single day, seven days a week, you know, bashing Trump and propping up Hillary.
	But that's not the biggest problem.
	Okay, I don't have a ⁇ I obviously give an opinion show.
	I do an opinion show on a news network, but they don't say that they're opinion.
	They're posing as journalists, and they're all phony, and they're all full of crap.
	I mean, you know, that is absolutely a point of view a lot of people take.
	I take everything that I read in the New York Times and Washington Post and other sources with a grain of salt, whether it's for national news or local news.
	The only news sources I really trust at this point to be objective and fair are really the trade publications when it comes down to it, like the real clear politics, real clear defense, national interest, that type of thing.
	I mean, earlier this week, for instance, there was an article in the Washington Post.
	I nearly fell out of my chair talking about how Hillary Clinton didn't come through on her promise to add 200,000 jobs to upstate New York when she ran for Senate.
	We tell you, Sean, I was actually at an event 15, 16 years ago where Hillary cited that number to me.
	And me being from upstate New York, she talked about how she was going to fight for me and my family in upstate New York.
	That always stuck in my mind.
	I knew she wasn't going to be able to come through.
	And they talked about in this Washington Post article how Hillary didn't deliver.
	She delivered maybe a couple hundred jobs, all of which were for shockingly Clinton donors.
	And when I saw that article in the Washington Post, like I said, I nearly fell out of my chair because it was the first time in months I'd seen anything that was even close to not being elect Hillary or the world will explode.
	So both of you guys are kind of view as my cybersecurity experts, et cetera.
	Now, we have the story about this Iranian nuclear scientist who was killed, and a lot of people are pointing out, including Senator Cotton of Arkansas, that this guy was referenced in some of the emails of Hillary Clinton on her unsecured server.
	Do you see a connection here, Luke Chung?
	You know, I don't know the exact connection between the two, but this whole email issue with Hillary Clinton is very suspect because even her position that says, well, it wasn't secure or marked as classified when I was dealing with it is suspect because as the person in charge of the department, I mean, she's responsible for deciding what's classified and not classified, not somebody else.
	Well, I mean, that's such a good point.
	And, you know, I'm sure you both watched, and I'll ask you this, Brian, Trey Gowdy dig down deep into James Comey after Comey wasn't going to indict or recommend a criminal referral, and that Hillary lied to us on this, on that, on this, on that, five separate lies, big lies as she was making excuses.
	Both of you thought at the time that it was very likely in the 90 percentile range, if my memory serves me well, that these foreign governments and entities did hack into her system, right?
	Yeah, you know, again, I don't think there's any question that foreign governments have hacked into it.
	We're seeing anecdotal evidence of that with the WikiLeaks and Julian Assange and what happened with the Democratic National Committee.
	You look at what Director Comey had to say, and he was being very careful, very lawyerly, and being very respectful of his position to say, look, I can't give you an answer as to whether a foreign government hacked into her email or not because it wasn't something he specifically investigated and wasn't charged with looking into.
	But at the end of the day, the way he responded to that question, it was very much a, I can't tell you, but it certainly is a possibility at this point.
	And your question with the Iranian scientist, right now it's sort of hard to go from A to B to draw a line between her email and the execution of that person.
	What is absolutely 100% clear, Director Comey noted this specifically when he spoke about not indicting her and before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, he noted specifically that it was extremely careless for her to go around to 100 different countries where you know as soon as you land on the ground, foreign intelligence agencies, foreign criminals, foreign spies, et cetera, are going to be probing your devices.
	So it is absolutely something that you could look into, and you will almost certainly be able to find a way to say that her behavior by going around with an email and a server that was completely exposed, no guard, nobody protecting it, that absolutely could lead to an outcome like you see in Iran.
	And there's probably more than that that we don't know about.
	We just haven't had the time and money available to look into it as of yet.
	All right, guys, I really appreciate your insight on all of this.
	Luke Chung, thank you.
	Brian Finch, thank you as well.
	800-941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
	Hannity, tonight, we got Donald Trump, and we will also be checking in on the race with Paul Ryan, the primary race.
	We expect the results in my hour live, 10 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
	We'll get reaction to all of that.
	All right, let's get to our phones.
	Joe is in Idaho, the great state of Idaho.
	You know, I was reading recently that more people are going to Idaho just to get away from the tyranny of what they see as big government in their lives.
	They want the liberty and freedom that Idaho offers, and they want to be left alone from government.
	And for the most part, they're finding that in places like Wyoming, Idaho, some in Oregon, and elsewhere.
	Anyway, how are you, Joe?
	What's going on?
	I'm doing great, Sean.
	You're a great American, and you're absolutely right about Idaho.
	I originally came from California.
	We got a lot of people up here from there and other places, too.
	Right.
	So what's going on?
	Well, you know, I love you like a wise uncle, but there are two compelling reasons why I think you're kind of falling for the media trap.
	That's all right.
	Where am I wrong?
	I love to hear where I'm wrong.
	Well, not necessarily that you're wrong, but, you know, the problem is when you keep saying that Trump is off focus and needs to stay focused, it reinforces that narrative that he doesn't know what he's doing.
	He's a disaster, everything else that the Republicans keep saying.
	But there's two reasons why I think that's not true.
	And the first is, you know, I've watched his performances.
	I've watched his economic speech and his rallies and everything.
	And he is focused like the laser beam.
	I mean, he talks about Hillary, Obama, and the economy.
	Look, let me see if I can help you with this, because I know exactly what you're saying.
	I disagree with you in this sense.
	Like, for example, the other night I saw that Trump tweeted about the mayor of Baltimore.
	He was probably right.
	I don't even remember what it was about.
	But I'm thinking that's off target to me.
	That's off-message to me.
	Or, for example, when Donald Trump talks about Lindsey Graham or he talks about Ted Cruz or he talks about Mr. Khan even, I just think that's off target to me.
	But number one, he hasn't really done that very often.
	In Khan, he never attacked Khan.
	No, I think for the most part, I think I got it.
	I understand everything you're saying.
	But I'm just saying, anytime he gets away from Hillary and Obama, to me, he's off target.
	Look, he doesn't have to listen to me.
	He's done very well without my help.
	Well, I agree with you on that.
	But here's the second reason why I think you're falling into the trap of the media.
	And that is, we all know that for eight years, George Bush refused to defend himself against the most blatant, horrible, ugly lies.
	And Sean, when he did that, he refused to defend those of us who voted for him.
	He refused to defend the Republican Party and all Republicans.
	And he refused to defend America.
	So frankly, Trump is a counterpuncher.
	And we appreciate the fact that he doesn't dwell a lot on it.
	But if Khan says something, he's going to send a tweet or he's going to mention it.
	If he's asked a question, he's going to answer it.
	If he sees a problem, he's pointing out problems in the Democratic Party.
	Listen, I'm also understand my advice and analysis is also sort of filtered through the prism of my experience.
	Now, what do I mean by that?
	I'm saying that this is not my first rodeo, and I just know there's a double standard in the media.
	And if Donald Trump responds to Mr. Khan, a gold star dad, it's going to be perceived and it's going to be run with in a way that, for example, Democrats going after Pat Smith never would be.
	So if you're a Democrat, I'd give you one set of advice, and that's say whatever you want.
	Nothing's going to happen.
	The media is not going to attack you.
	If you're a Republican, if you're conservative, if you're Donald Trump, it's going to be a whole different standard.
	So I'm trying to avoid the trouble, the pitfalls that get his campaign off message.
	And look, to me, it's all very, very simple.
	And I keep explaining this.
	The economic plan he laid out yesterday was extraordinarily Reagan-esque.
	And Reagan gave us the longest period of peacetime economic growth in history and created 21 million new jobs.
	And he doubled revenues to the federal government.
	I like his plan.
	I like his, you know, to me, that's his list of Supreme Court justices, originalists with fidelity to the Constitution, the belief in co-equal branches of government and separation of powers, non-activist judicial branch, not legislating from the bench, properly vetting refugees.
	Hillary wants a 550% increase.
	She's gambling with our lives, identifying evil in our time, radical Islam, securing our borders, both for security and also to have less competition for the 95 million Americans out of work that are competing for the same jobs, and it's also driving down wages, eliminating Obamacare, allowing free market competition, healthcare savings accounts, education back to the states, energy independence, fixing our broken VA, building up our military.
	That to me is the Trump agenda.
	You know, and all these people, you know, I was reading the, who sent this to me?
	Laura Ingram sent this to me today, and she was a little annoyed by an article by Jennifer Rubin.
	And in the article, it talks about all the Republicans that I would argue are undermining the Trump campaign, like people like Susan Collins has now joined the mix.
	You know, those that ran for president, like Lindsey Graham and let's see, Jeb Bush and John Kasich and those that said they would support the nominee that are not supporting the nominee.
	And then you got apparently even Mike Lee and Ben Sasse and you got these so-called gurus, the intellectuals at the Lothal and the National Review.
	They think they're superior.
	All they're doing is when we get a Hillary Supreme Court nominee, or if we get one, I blame them.
	Now they're going to turn around and say, Hannity, you facilitated this victory.
	No, I gave every I let the people decide.
	I let the people in this race decide.
	And I kept my promise from 2015 at CPAC.
	This is my pledge to you, as somebody who's undecided.
	On both my radio and television program on the Fox News channel, I promise you this.
	As somebody who has not made up his mind, I am going to give access to every single solitary candidate as often as I can, as often as they'll come.
	By the end of the process, I will ask them every question I can possibly think of.
	And then I am putting this all in your hands.
	And then in 2016, I said, all right, now you're voting, because it was one month into the primary season in March, like March 2nd.
	The primary started on February 1st.
	And I said this at CPAC this year.
	The problem is at the end of this process, only one person is going to be the winner.
	And what I'm worried about here tonight is that if your candidate doesn't win, that some of you are going to be angry and emotional that your guy lost, and some of you are going to want to pout, and some of you are going to go on TV and radio and call my show and say, I can't support that guy.
	And then what's going to happen is you are giving half a vote to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
	I don't care if you support Trump, Cruz, Rubio, or Kasich.
	Any one of them are better than Hillary Clinton.
	But this is my question for all of you here at CPAC.
	Will you ask yourself in your heart, regardless of who the candidate is you support, will you, at the end of the day, I want to ask you, as a matter of fact, I want you to stand.
	Wait, wait, don't stand yet.
	I want to see in this room, if your candidate doesn't win, you know how the Republican Party made people a pledge, will you all pledge to support whoever wins the nomination?
	If you will, stand up.
	You know, I've been attacked by a lot of people, engaged in a few fun little Twitter wars lately.
	And that was my promise.
	That was my pledge.
	That was my commitment in 2015 as the process was getting started.
	That was my promise, my pledge, my commitment in 2016.
	I think by every measure and standard, Linda, we kept our word.
	We delivered the candidates.
	We followed them.
	We traveled everywhere.
	We did everything we could do to give everybody access.
	Everybody was invited on radio equal time and everybody was invited on TV.
	And some took advantage of it more than others.
	That's their problem if they didn't.
	They all had open invitations.
	The voters decided, and I kept my pledge.
	I'm going to support it.
	But I do it enthusiastically.
	I actually, I'm proud to support Trump over Hillary Clinton.
	It's a no-brainer for me.
	Not a whole lot of thought.
	I'll start with the Supreme Court, as I said, and I'll move on to economic policies.
	And I'll move on to eliminating health care.
	And I'll move on to immigration and securing the borders.
	And I'll view on to vetting, vetting, yeah, eliminating Obamacare, to vetting refugees.
	And I'll move on to education back to the states.
	And I'll move on to energy independence.
	And, you know, all the other things identifying evil in our time.
	And, you know, all of fixing the VA, building up our military as a deterrent.
	I'm bored for all of that.
	That's conservative to me.
	You know, the question is, you know, we now, oh, well, it's not good enough for Susan Collins.
	Not good enough for Mark Kirk, Lindsey Graham, apparently even Mike Lee.
	Mike Lee is Ted Cruz, John Kasich.
	Not good enough for those guys.
	You know, I don't care about Lindsey Graham.
	And frankly, Ben Sasse has been a massive disappointment.
	And when he ran up to me at CPAC this year and tried to get in my grill, I'm like, who are you?
	I had no idea who he was.
	I said, oh, it's a half a vote.
	He goes, you telling your audience that I'm voting for Hillary.
	And I said, by not supporting the nominee, it's a half a vote for Hillary.
	And I stick by that today.
	Ben, you're giving a half a vote to Hillary.
	That's your position.
	And when you get the Supreme Court justices of Hillary, blame yourself.
	When you don't get a border secure, blame yourself.
	When you still have Obamacare, which has gone up $4,500 on average per family, and it goes up further, blame yourself.
	When one of these refugees that Hillary and Obama, unvetted, are letting into the country, commits an act of terror and kills Americans, you can pat yourself on the back that you didn't have the wisdom to elect the president that was going to vet them or maybe not let them in.
	You know, or somebody, if another instance where an illegal immigrant commits a crime against Americans, you had the chance to fix that.
	If we're not energy independent in four years, it's your problem.
	You did that.
	You built that.
	You're helping to build Hillary.
	I'm naming names.
	Wall Street Journal, what's that idiot over at the Wall Street Journal's name, Stevens?
	He built that.
	I want Donald Trump to be trounced.
	I don't.
	I want Donald Trump to win.
	I want him to be president.
	I don't want Hillary picking the Supreme Court nominees.
	I don't want her dealing with foreign policy.
	I don't want Hillary Clinton's policies on energy, putting coal miners and coal companies out of business and coal miners out of work.
	I don't want open borders anymore.
	I don't want somebody that can't identify radical Islam.
	My arguments are strong and solid, and they're based on issues that will make America stronger and better.
	That's why I'm supporting Trump proudly.
	You know, I think the American people and their wisdom were able to filter through all the noise and all the nonsense.
	And they said, all right, we want this guy.
	And the reason they picked him is because they believe that Washington, and I think they're right in this analysis, is broken.
	And that Republicans are weak and timid and feckless and spineless.
	And they are.
	And they have gone along to get along for way too long.
	And they've broken too many promises, and I have no confidence in them.
	Starting with Paul Ryan.
	Lindsey Graham, he's useless to me.
	John McCain, great war hero.
	He should be defeated in Arizona.
	We need new.
	Kelly Ward would be my choice.
	You know, and I and I like John McCain a lot personally.
	I like his family personally.
	I think he's a good man in his heart.
	But, you know, I'm very disappointed, especially in Kasich.
	I'm disappointed in Jeb Bush.
	I'm disappointed.
	I don't know if Senator Cruz will eventually come on board, but I don't think so.
	And you know what?
	The next time they run for office, some of these guys and make a promise and a pledge, you can't trust them.
	Sorry, that's how I feel.
	You know, and I don't know what to tell you because this is all helping Hillary.
	All of this Republican establishment undermining, although I don't put Cruz in the establishment, I just think he's bitter over the campaign, and I think he needs to get over it, as personal as it was.
	He got very personal, too.
	He seems to have forgotten that part.
	You know, it always gets bitter.
	It's a very, it's an ugly business politics.
	It's a blood sport.
	It's not for the faint-hearted.
	This is bare knuckles brawling.
	And if you don't want any part of being in the public eye, like, for example, people ask me, well, what about all these wars you're in on Twitter and all this fighting you do?
	And I'm like, I've accepted this a long time ago.
	I don't give a flying rip at this point in my life what people say about me.
	But I do care about my kids and the country they'll inherit and your kids and the country they'll inherit.
	And I do care about this country decline in decline and deteriorating from within.
	And America's ascendancy is now in a descendancy.
	And we're now on the verge of literally blowing it all.
