	Let not your heart be troubled.
	You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show podcast.
	More law enforcement, more community engagement, more effective policing is what our country needs desperately.
	Just like Hillary Clinton is against the minors.
	She is against the police.
	Believe me.
	You know it and I know it, and guess what?
	She knows it.
	Those peddling the narrative of cops as a racist force in our society, a narrative supported with a nod by my opponent, shared directly in the responsibility for the unrest in Milwaukee and many other places within our country.
	My opponent, Hillary, would rather protect the offender than the victim.
	Big problem in our society.
	Hillary Clinton-backed policies are responsible for the problems in the inner cities today, and a vote for her is a vote for another generation of poverty, high crime, and lost opportunities.
	I care too much about my country to let this happen.
	USA!
	And when I'm president, I will fight for the safety of every American, and especially those Americans who have not known safety for a very, very long time.
	I'm asking for the vote of every African American citizen struggling in our country today who wants a different and much better future.
	It's time for our society to address some honest and very, very difficult truths.
	The Democratic Party has failed and betrayed the African American community.
	Democratic crime policies, education policies, and economic policies have produced only more crime, more broken homes, and more poverty.
	The poverty rate here is nearly double the national average.
	Almost four in ten African American men in Milwaukee between the ages of twenty five and fifty-four do not have a job.
	Nearly four in ten single mother households are living in poverty.
	Fifty-five public schools in this city have been rated as failing to meet expectations, despite $10,000 in funding per pupil, which is a very, very high number.
	There's only a 60% graduation rate, and it's one of the worst public school systems anywhere in the country.
	One in five manufacturing jobs has disappeared in Milwaukee since we fully opened our markets, and you understand what that means.
	We opened these markets to China, and many African-American neighborhoods have have look, they have suffered.
	We opened our markets.
	They've taken our jobs.
	They give us our products that we don't make anymore.
	And African, American neighborhoods along with many other neighborhoods, have suffered greatly.
	To every voter in Milwaukee, to every voter living in the inner city, or every forgotten stretch of our society, I'm running to offer you a much better future.
	A much better job.
	And a much higher wage.
	All right, Donald Trump last night in what was a huge speech addressing the problems that have been going on in Milwaukee, to the black community in America, to inner city America, naming names and offering an alternative way to solve problems.
	Let me let me backtrack here.
	Some people ask me all the time, well, what advice would you give Trump?
	I give advice all the time to anybody who will listens.
	I mean, that's part of my job.
	I have opinions every day.
	This is what I do.
	Here's what I have seen in the last two days.
	And you'll see more of this on display tonight, Hannity Fox News Channel, Paps uh Paps Theater in Milwaukee Town Hall with Donald Trump on protecting the homeland, defeating ISIS and defeating radical Islam.
	That that is the main focus of the town hall that we're doing.
	But if you really want, if for those of you that are worried and concerned and nervous, and you see the polls, and you don't like the way the poll numbers have been going and the real clear politics average, I think Hillary's up by five or six.
	They have some polls that are closer, Zogby added a two-point race yesterday, LA Times a one-point race today.
	Um, but you're worried, concerned, you're looking at some of the swing states.
	You know, I I actually tweeted, who was it?
	Nate Silver, 538.
	I actually read his stuff.
	He's not had a particularly strong year in terms of his predictions.
	He's loved by the left.
	He has a very interesting model paradigm that he's created for predicting electoral results.
	But by the way, it shifts every day.
	And it's uh it's a combination of of many, many factors, not just uh accumulating different poll numbers but other factors that he works into his campaign.
	But anyway, he's he's he's renowned and beloved in in liberal circles because of his predictions about Obama in the past, et cetera.
	He's not had a particularly great year, in my opinion, as it relates to these Republican primaries.
	But I read everything I can get my hands on.
	And he suggested today that I don't put a lot of stock in in poll numbers and that I'm misleading people by suggesting that that maybe online mentions or Twitter mentions or apps, et cetera, there was a guy that came out with an app that said he thinks Donald Trump's gonna win.
	I'm not saying that at all.
	My advice to any campaign is listen to the polls, believe them, trust them, always fight as if you are behind, take nothing for granted.
	And I would argue that in my mind at this moment, Donald Trump is down, probably about four points nationally.
	And I think he's got some ground to make up in states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and uh Virginia, North Carolina.
	Well, we have a there's still a lot of game to play here with 83 days left in the campaign.
	So my advice, what do I what would I say to Donald Trump?
	It's it's what I say publicly, what I would say privately to anybody is the last two days with Donald Trump and what he has done by staying on message, focusing only on the failures of Obama and Clinton.
	He did this what, Tuesday, he's sorry, he did it Monday on the issue of radical Islam and on ISIS and Hillary Clinton's failures and Obama's failures, and how Syria and Iraq and Iran and Libya and Egypt and and Russia and the disaster that is known as radical Islam,
	and he pointed to the terrorism in in Germany and in France and in Belgium and Great Britain and in Europe, and then he talked about Orlando and Chattanooga and San Bernardino, and he talked about how every 84 hours there's another ISIS terror attack,
	and what brought us to this point, he gave a pretty comprehensive history in terms of okay, she voted for the war, she politicized the war, she telegraphed what we were leaving, it created a vacuum for ISIS, and it also provided them the financial resources to expand their terror network.
	And it's a pretty powerful speech.
	Now, a speech like that has to be on a teleprompter.
	There's no way, and I'm somebody that gives speeches or have in the in the course of my life and career on a regular basis.
	That's a speech you need on a teleprompter, especially in a presidential race.
	And last night, from what I understand and my sources within the Trump campaign told me he decided to do this speech last night in light of what has happened in Milwaukee.
	And he did the same thing at the beginning of that speech.
	And he laid out the problems that exist in the black community.
	And he took it head on.
	You know, why does why does Obama and Hillary, why do they politicize incidents like Trayvon Martin or the Cambridge Police or Ferguson or Freddie Gray in in Baltimore when and yet ignore 3,500 people killed in Obama's hometown of Chicago.
	Why, because it doesn't fit the racial narrative that he wants to advance politically.
	I think there's a strong case to be made about that.
	Black lives matter, do they matter in your hometown of Chicago?
	If it doesn't fit a political narrative that police are somehow targeting uh black Americans to kill them and hunt them down, well then somehow we're not going to talk about it.
	And as far as I know, I'm the only person in the media on television that has actually scrolled the names of the people who have died in Chicago during the course of Obama's presidency.
	So he does in both these speeches, he does the same thing.
	He identifies we are on the wrong track.
	He identifies the problems.
	In the case of Milwaukee, failed public schools, drugs that are not eradicated.
	He has talked about and on numerous occasions.
	If you want to know who has been disproportionately impacted by what we now know officially is the worst recession since the 1940s, the lowest participation rate in the labor force since the 70s, the lowest home ownership rate in 51 years, a 58% increase in black Americans now on food stamps, a 20% increase in black Americans not participating in the labor force.
	We have 12 million more on food stamps, 12 million more Americans, 8 million more Americans in poverty, and a doubling of the national debt, and we don't have those shovel ready jobs and our educational system.
	We pay more per capita than any industrialized country with 35th in results.
	You know, these are democratic policies.
	If you look at Milwaukee, Sheriff Clark told me last night that there hasn't been a Republican mayor in that city since 1908.
	If you look at Baltimore, you want to see the impact, the effects of liberalism on a community, the devastation created by a belief that the government is going to help protect you and take care of every aspect of your life.
	Look at Baltimore.
	Look at Ferguson, Missouri.
	Look at any inner city in America.
	He goes over the stats last night about what happened in Chicago since Obama's been president, 3,500 dead, nobody knows their names.
	How Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, you know, the problems in inner city today, a vote for her would be a vote for another generation of poverty.
	Liberal policies have failed black America.
	You know, the last eight years have not gotten better for black Americans.
	Otherwise, we wouldn't have the statistics that I'm citing to you on a daily basis.
	You know, asking, they come into the black community every four years and they want black Americans to go out in big numbers and vote for Democrats and in large number demographically they do, but things haven't gotten better for black Americans.
	You know, Hillary can turn a blind eye, as he pointed out last night, to crime.
	She's got armed bodyguards everywhere she goes.
	The statistics for job uh for the lack of job creation when you have half of America's uh uh youth in the black community not having a job, 55% of kids in the in the black neighborhoods can't get a summer job.
	If I didn't have a summer job, I'd be hanging out with my dopey friends, and I would have been getting in a lot more trouble than I did.
	That's not good for these kids.
	They need the job, they need the experience, they need the money, they need the discipline of getting up and going to work every day, which is part of what daily life is all about.
	And unfortunately, the economy is such that we've not been able to provide it for them.
	You know, you look at, for example, the there's a certain bigotry of pandering to communities of color that we see every four years in elections.
	You know, you've got the race card being played, Al Gore years ago.
	If you'll, you know, they Republicans, he says, going into his black preacher voice.
	Republicans, they don't even want to count for the census.
	And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed.
	Stand with me for the economic empowerment that is the next great civil rights frontier.
	And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed.
	Don't tell me we live in a colorblind society.
	The Republicans know that there is the wrong agenda for African Americans.
	That's why they don't even want to count you in the census.
	All right.
	But there you go.
	They don't even want to count you in the census, or the James Byrd ad in 2000 against George W. Bush, or the 1998 radio ad in Missouri that said elect Republicans and black churches are gonna burn.
	It happens every four years.
	It happens every two years, frankly.
	It is predictable Republicans are, you know, that they they are racist, they're sexist, they're misogynists.
	Mint Romney had the unmitigated gall to have a binder of women's resumes that he wanted to hire.
	They're anti-gay.
	Well, Hillary gets money from countries that kills gays and lesbians, but claims and proclaims that she has a monopoly of compassion for them.
	Donald Trump's not taking money from Saudi Arabia that treats women abominably, that kills gays and lesbians, that persecutes Christians and Jews.
	They can't freely worship as they want.
	Why did Hillary take 25 million for the Clinton Foundation?
	$10 million for the for the Clinton Library.
	And doesn't criticize them, but she's a champion of their rights.
	You talk about a bigotry, you know, every four years, Democrats demand blow votes in the black community, Hispanic community, they play the race card, and they divide the country.
	It's happened all the time, and it's happening now.
	I love that Trump identified these problems, that he offered new a new path and new solutions both to defeating radical Islam and ISIS and to helping inner city America.
	So my advice to the Trump campaign, simple.
	Keep doing what you're doing the last two days.
	Only mention Hillary and Obama.
	Go over their failed record in great detail as you have been doing, and then offer solutions that people then have a choice and an alternative in this election.
	And that's what this election is about.
	There's going to be a choice about who gets to pick Supreme Court justices, whether or not we vet refugees or we don't vet refugees, whether or not we identify evil in our time, radical Islam or we don't, whether we protect our borders or we don't, whether we're energy independent or we're not, whether we fix the VA or we don't, whether education's still a failure or we can fix it.
	That's what's at stake here, protecting your second amendment rights or not.

	I don't think we have this tape yet, Linda, but Vice President Biden apparently early yesterday was in Belgrade in Serbia.
	And you had nationalists marching through the city screaming, vote for Trump, vote for Trump.
	Anyway, oh, we do have that?
	We don't.
	I didn't think I didn't see it on my cut sheet.
	Anyway, so Biden was in Serbia to bid to bid to encourage the country's government to normalize relations with Kosovo, which they split away from Serbia in 1999 and claimed independence in 2008.
	However, the uh with the embattled 2016 presidential race and Biden's history of support for the NATO bombing of Serbia in the 90s, uh, you have these people on the street, you know, protesters were kept far away from Biden, but anyway, they created a bit of a spectacle wearing t-shirts with Donald Trump's face on him, chanting Donald Trump.
	That's hilarious to me.
	It's pretty funny.
	You have another story today.
	The media has been desperately trying to get Republican officials to quote, unendorse Donald Trump.
	And so far there haven't been any takers.
	Turns out that back in late July, a major public employees union did indeed unendorse a presidential candidate, but unfortunately, for the corrupt media, New York Times, uh CNN and NBC, ABC, CBS establishment out there, it wasn't Donald Trump that lost the endorsement.
	Reuters points out the International Association of Firefighters, a politically powerful union, abandoned their initial plans to endorse Hillary Clinton for U.S. president.
	This was back in July, July 23rd.
	The Clinton campaign was told uh that the president by the president there was not enough support on the union's board or in the rank and file membership for an endorsement of her.
	And support for labor unions is usually important, a source of strength for Democratic candidates, and those endorsements are eager eagerly sought out.
	Of course, don't forget you have the whole corruption, which exists as it relates to union rank and files, see their union dues going to support candidates that they themselves don't support.
	But they don't have a say in that.
	So what the media is trying to do, look, I don't know which way this election is going to go.
	Anyone that tells you doesn't know.
	This was a point I made in in tweeting.
	I was being polite.
	I wasn't uh one of my Twitter fights, which I find highly entertaining.
	Sorry, I like to amuse myself, but I do find Twitter fighting kind of fun sometimes.
	And, you know, and look, you gotta understand about social media now.
	You got everybody is their own talk show host.
	Everybody has their own keyboard.
	You know, you got people naked in their basements, you know, tweeting out and Facebooking out and Instagramming out, and and they get to say anything they want, and it's fairly anonymous for most people.
	In some cases, there's many aliases, they're not who they say they are, their profile is nothing like who they are in real life, but it's just fun.
	I mean, and it's it is the embodiment of I think everything that we cherish, and that's the right of free speech.
	And even if it's rude and insulting and and just absolutely atrocious comments towards me, I I don't mind at all.
	I actually enjoy it.
	And I think, you know, it's probably not the most productive way of getting points across, but it is kind of fun, and it certainly is impacting this presidential race more than it has in past years.
	And anyway, so Nate Silver, 538, beloved and worshipped by Democrats because he was accurate, I guess, in the Obama elections.
	You know, he's been all over the map.
	And by the way, that's that's part of a process.
	Elections are pro it's a process.
	A poll is a snapshot of a moment and a time in a campaign.
	Real clear politics average about six percent, six-point Hillary lead.
	If Donald Trump, I would argue, keeps up what he did the last two days.
	I think his poll numbers will improve pretty dramatically because I like the formula of only focusing on Obama, Hillary, and that is pointing out the failure, the direction of the country.
	Most people already believe that, and then offering solutions that will make the country better.
	Whether it's about the economy or jobs or energy, schools, education, beating back the drug epidemic in the country, whatever the problem happens to be, I think it's good.
	So, anyway, so he's been predicting, you know, he's had Trump at 20%, 18%, 58% chance of winning, and it goes back and forth.
	Um, I think the people should believe the polls.
	You know, it's an interesting theory.
	There's an app that came out this week or last week where the app predicts, based on social media mentions and content that Trump would be elected president.
	It's it's kind of a fascinating thing to measure, but do I put my faith in it?
	No.
	Do I put my faith in all polls?
	I don't do that either because they change on any given day.
	But if you look at this moment in time, this this, you know, if you take a snapshot of today, you probably'd have to say Hillary's winning by about four points in my mind.
	And in some of the key states, I think that the media has been brutal to Trump.
	That's played a part.
	Trump has made a few unforced errors.
	I think any time he gets off Hillary or Obama, it's a mistake.
	I think the most important thing for him to focus on is how he is going to solve this country's problems.
	And you know, look, it's kind of fun.
	I don't know, I didn't hear it all myself.
	Uh Glenn Beck, I guess, put me on some list that he's got that he's putting out there.
	I know Glenn Beck was was very heavily in support of Ted Cruz traveling around, and I guess Glenn is one of these never Trumper guys.
	And I actually sent him a note today.
	I'll keep the contents of the note fairly personal uh and private, but um I said because I've explained my position to him for a long time.
	Now I'm allowed to have my opinions like everybody else, and in the course of the campaign, I will tell you my perceptions that my beliefs in the candidates actually for some of them shifted.
	And and I I kind of started out, and this was stuff I kept private to myself.
	And I kind of started out thinking this person's probably gonna win.
	And then I started out thinking this person might win.
	And all throughout the process, I was trying to analyze who had the best chance in a general election.
	And, you know, just like many of you, that too is a process, and on a day-to-day basis, as I do these interviews and I travel around the country and I do these town halls, and I'd have them on radio and I'd have them on TV.
	I I felt I asked every question imaginable, and in my heart of hearts, I truly believe, and I think the tape would prove that I was fair to every candidate, because my the my approach to those interviews during that primary season was pretty simple.
	Ask all the candidates the tough, you know, the questions that matter most that impact our lives about the economy, about immigration, about the second amendment, about national security, about ISIS, homeland security, protecting the homeland, all that sort of thing, and I would ask them those questions, and then I kind of shut up and gave them the microphone and the space and let them explain in detail, which is something you don't really often get a chance to have happen.
	And I thought that was the best way I could service this audience.
	And I think we were fairly successful at doing so.
	It's what I promised.
	It's on my website, Hannity.com in 2015, that I would give as much airtime on radio and TV to all the candidates that they wanted.
	Some took advantage of it more than others, and that I would let you, the voters, decide who you wanted to be your nominee.
	I'm I'm a registered conservative anyway.
	I can't vote in a Republican primary.
	And in the end, in record numbers, you decided on Donald Trump.
	And in the middle of this primary, remember it started February 1 of this year.
	I went back to CPAC in early March, and I said, whoever wins, I know some of you are going to be angry and emotional and upset, and I warned that there would be division.
	I had no idea at that time who the nominee would be.
	I don't think anybody could have predicted that it would be Donald Trump.
	I don't think anybody predicted from the get go.
	As a matter of fact, the guys like Nate Silver and others, they didn't think he had a chance at the beginning of this process.
	So polsters and pundits and critics can often be wrong.
	But probably the event that will define this election hasn't even happened yet.
	I know that's hard for many of you to believe.
	You have one vice presidential debate coming up.
	You have all the threat of what might be leaked or not leaked through wiki leaks, who knows what's going to happen.
	And at the end of the day, I will tell you this that America will get the president that it deserves.
	Anyway, back to Glenn for a second.
	And, you know, so Glenn is critical of me, and I guess something to the extent as how can anybody take somebody that's supporting Trump seriously.
	You know, um I don't know what to say to that, except that he's sort of dug himself in a hole by being never Trump.
	And my position on I don't care if you work for the Wall Street Journal or National Review, or if you're George Will, or if you're Bill Crystal, Mitt Romney, or if you're one of the Republican nominees that said and promised that you would support the eventual nominee, and that means people like Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham and John Kasich and Ted Cruz, you know, I I happen to be friends with well, everybody but Lindsay for the most part.
	Um I'm disappointed in all of them that they're not keeping their promise.
	And frankly, I think that this Republican circular firing squad, this group of those saboteurs, they're they're sabotaging the Trump campaign, that it is having a negative effect.
	And I say and argue that they will bear responsibility in part for an outcome that if Hillary Clinton were to win this race, and I have no idea what's going to happen.
	Because the differences in this campaign are that deep and that profound.
	We know the list of Supreme Court nominees, the type of originalist justices that Donald Trump has said he would appoint to the Supreme Court.
	People that have fidelity to the Constitution believe in separation of powers, coequal branches of government.
	He's giving you names.
	Look at their backgrounds.
	I already have.
	It's far different than what Hillary Clinton will appoint to the Supreme Court.
	She wants liberal, leftist, statist, activist judges that will legislate from the bench.
	That is where she's always been.
	She's given no indication that she's separating from either Obama's failed economic policies or from his foreign policy disasters from Iran to Libya, both of which she has participated in, Iraq and Syria, both of which he's participated in, and the failure on so many levels, Egypt, the Russian reset, you can go through the whole list here.
	So it's a no-brainer election for me.
	And I sleep fine at night because I think I was fair to every candidate.
	Yeah, I've had my own preferences at different points, and it changed and it shifted throughout the campaign.
	But I uh as it relates to what is at stake here, Supreme Court appointments, you know, we're either going to bring in 550% more refugees that Comey and Brennan and Clapper and General Allen and Mike Steinbeck and Mike McCall say ISIS will infiltrate that population.
	Well, if Hillary appoints Supreme Court justices and you are one of the never Trump people, you get the Supreme Court justices you deserve.
	And yes, you bear some responsibility for that.
	Because you're aiding and abetting the election of probably the single biggest liar, congenital liar, pathological liar, most dishonest politician I think I can mention in my lifetime at least, maybe forever, somebody that is at her core, dishonest, untrustworthy, somebody that has sold out the offices she has held for big dollars, somebody that is just fundamentally not fit or suited for this job, I think in any way.
	So if you oppose Trump, that's a half a vote for Hillary.
	You'll get Hillary's Supreme Court justices if she wins, and you bear responsibility for that.
	If, in fact, refugees that are not vetted, that she takes in rather than the safe zones that I support and Trump supports, in other words, safe zones, we provide food, medicine, water, supplies, baby formula, cots, pillows, blankets, and protection for those victims of a civil war through no fault of their own, and those some of these refugees are that population is infiltrated by ISIS and they kill Americans, yeah.
	I would say you're responsible for that decision.
	You're responsible for those bad policies because there's a choice here.
	If you elect a president that can't identify evil in our time, radical Islam, I agree with Trump.
	You're not fit to serve in this office.
	And that's who you will be aiding, abetting, and supporting, in part through your sabotage of a guy that has a very different policy.
	If in fact jobs, further jobs are lost because people cross the border, and especially the black community in America has been disproportionately impacted and losing jobs because of competition in part from illegal immigrants that don't respect our laws and sovereignty, and the 20% increase in blacks and the uh out-of-the-labor force increases, yeah, that's a result of not protecting our borders.
	If somebody crosses the border and brings harm to an American town or city, well, you could have protected those borders if you supported Trump.
	If the economy continues to be the worst so-called recovery since the 40s, and we don't change policies and we don't bring in repatriated money and we don't lower taxes and we don't become energy independent, you know, yeah, those are decisions that in part you are all responsible for, and that means you too, Glenn, because you'll get the Hillary you deserve.
	If the educational system remains top-down, common core, NEA supported, NEA influenced, because that's who Hillary's beholden to, rather than sending it back to local towns, communities, municipalities, and states, yeah, you that's that's the education system you're contributing to.
	We don't become energy independent and coal miners are put out of work and coal companies are put out of business.
	Yeah, we were warned ahead of time, weren't we?
	If we don't continue fracking and drilling and expanding nuclear technology and other technologies, and we can continue to be dependent on foreign oil, yeah, you had an option here.
	If we don't fix the VA, you had an option here.
	If our second amendment rights arose under Hillary, you had an option here.
	We don't build up the military, You had an option here.
	So live with your choices.
	I sleep well at night.
	I proudly will pull the lever for Trump.
	Because of these specific policies that he stated he will pursue.
	Hillary will be the opposite.
	It's a choice election.
	America, you will get all you people at the Wall Street Journal, all you pundits, all you TV people, radio people, all of you National Review people, you will get the Hillary you deserve.
	In part because of your sabotage and undermining of Trump.
	So live with it.
	And that goes the same for all you politicians in Washington.
	During the last 72 hours, while protesters have raged against the police here in Milwaukee.
	Another nine were killed in Chicago, and another 46 were wounded.
	More than 2,600 people have been shot in Chicago since the beginning of the year, and almost 4,000 people killed in President Obama's hometown area since his presidency began.
	Not too good.
	That's for sure.
	So how are we serving these American victims by attacking law enforcement officers?
	The war on our police must end, and it must end now.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	My opponent, Hillary, would rather protect the offender than the victim.
	Big problem in our society.
	Hillary Clinton backed policies are responsible for the problems in the inner cities today, and a vote for her is a vote for another generation of poverty, high crime, and lost opportunities.
	I care too much about my country to let this happen.
	And when I'm president, I will fight for the safety of every American, And especially those Americans who have not known safety for a very, very long time.
	I'm asking for the vote of every African American citizen struggling in our country today, who wants a different and much better future.
	It's time for our society to address some honest and very, very difficult truths.
	The Democratic Party has failed and betrayed the African American community.
	Democratic crime policies, education policies, and economic policies have produced only more crime, more broken homes, and more poverty.
	Jobs, safety, opportunity, fair and equal representation.
	We reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton, which panders to and talks down to communities of color and sees them only as votes.
	That's all they care about, not as individual human beings worthy of a better future.
	they have taken advantage she doesn't care at all about the hurting people of this country or the suffering she has caused them and she meaning she and her party officials There has been tremendous suffering because of what they have brought.
	The African-American community has been taken for granted for decades by the Democratic Party, and look how they're doing.
	It's time to break with the failures of the past.
	I want to offer Americans a new and much better future.
	It's time for rule by the people, not rule for the special interests which we have right now.
	All right, that is two days, two consecutive days.
	Donald Trump teleprompter speech, the first one on protecting the homeland, defeating ISIS, and how to deal with the issue of radical Islam.
	Last night taking on the issue of our policing, uh, the negative comments that have been made the black community how to make America safer in inner city America dealing with drugs and education and a lot of the failures in inner city America and laying out a very distinct bold uh agenda difference between himself and Hillary Clinton.
	Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll free, it's 800 941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
	Uh joining us now, former Speaker of the House, New Kingrich, and I know for a fact that you have said on this program numerous times this was a speech you wanted Donald Trump to give.
	Yeah, I'm I'm I was very emotionally touched last night.
	I've never before heard a Republican candidate for president as direct and as honest and as sincere as Donald Trump was in addressing the the great tragedy of the inner city African American community which has been abandoned by both parties.
	So the Democrats misuse it, use its votes, uh adopt policies that ruin the future for uh millions of people, and the Republicans up until now have frankly not stepped up and said we got to change it.
	And uh Paul Ryan has been giving speeches on this but no presidential candidate that I know of has ever had the kind of courage that Donald Trump showed last night I thought it was a these these are two historic speeches in two days.
	On the first day he takes on the entire foreign policy establishment and challenges the fact that in 14 almost 15 years of war they have not won anywhere.
	On the second day, he takes on the growing 50-year disaster of the inner city and offers to African-Americans in the inner city the hope of a president who actually cares about them as individual human beings.
	I thought it was a tremendous evening, and I thought it was great growth on his part that he recognized he needed to give that speech from a teleprompter, that it was too complicated, given everything that had happened recently in Milwaukee.
	was too complicated and too dangerous to just go out and wing it.
	I thought it was real.
	But I thought if you look at the style, if you look at the last two nights, there's something that has emerged here, and that is that you have Donald Trump taking on very serious, significant, deep and profound challenges and issues we face as a country that, yes, he's staying on message and discipline on and on a teleprompter, which I think is helpful for him.
	And not only that, he lays out where the problems are, where the failures have been.
	I mean, if you look at the city, you know, there hasn't been a Republican mayor of Milwaukee oh eight Sheriff Clark told me last night I didn't know that.
	There's been what forty or fifty years of only democratic rule in Baltimore not much different from Ferguson, Missouri areas where the president is weighed in where he have had significant issues in involving racial tensions, especially with the police and he lays out the problems and he offers new alternatives and new solutions.
	And he also did a very good job, I think, of of pointing out how liberalism and particularly liberal leadership has failed the black community and this is a community that historically votes Democratic 90% of the time.
	Well that's right and I think that it it's important to recognize to give you your Baltimore example uh the last Republican city council in the Baltimore is 1942.
	Uh and so what you've had is the Democrats have sold out to bureaucracies and interest groups, the teachers union and others so they can't solve the problem their models are exactly wrong if you're trying to create a job creating entrepreneurial society.
	At the same time the Republicans have not had the courage to go into the inner city and slug it out and I think it'll be very interesting to see now if if Trump and Pence begin to actually campaign in the inner city if if they take this extraordinary speech last night uh and you can you can take the section specifically about the inner city and put that into an amazing commercial and run it in lots of ways that will reach African Americans who've never before heard a Republican talk about them as though they mattered.
	And I that's why I think this could be genuinely a historic moment.
	You know it was also interesting too though I mean because the night before he spent a lot of time talking about radical Islam in Sharia and the the treatment of gays and lesbians under Sharia law.
	I mean Hillary Clinton I think it's a significant issue ignored by the media you know taking money from countries that have strict Sharia law in place like Saudi Arabia nearly twenty five million to the Clinton Foundation 10 million to the Clinton Library.
	Gays and lesbians can be put to death in these countries, many of them, and she's taking their money.
	They abuse women, women are third class citizens, and you can't build a a temple or you can't build a Christian church, so they abuse Christians and Jews and gays and lesbians and women.
	Hillary claims to be their champion, takes the money from these countries and never criticizes their abysmal human rights record.
	Well, that's right.
	And I think that's going to become a bigger issue.
	When you don't one of the challenges is that there are so many things wrong with the Clinton Foundation, uh the money it gets from Russia, the money it gets from dictators in the Middle East, the money it gets uh from people who sell uh arms in Africa, the money the money that it has wasted in really tragically not doing what it promised in Haiti.
	I mean, the Clinton Foundation alone could be a major thematic for the next uh ninety days.
	Uh and and I think as people learn more and more about it, uh their revolting against uh Hillary's style of politics is gonna get bigger and bigger.
	Yeah.
	What do you think from here?
	I I would argue from my position is that I think Donald Trump, when he talks about the media or talks about Judge Curio or talks about Mr. Kahn or or anybody else, I think he's off message and off target.
	In other words, I think there's really only two people he should be focusing on now, and that's Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, uh Obama only in as much as that economically I've laid out all the statistics where he's failed and on foreign policy where the two of them have failed.
	And and then I think the the most important ingredient or the secret sauces, stay focused on them, stay focused on their failures, and then offer your solutions and and how you envision the country growing and solving these problems.
	Well, I think I think that's right, and I think the the model of these last two days outline what the problem is, outline why the Clinton Obama approach has failed and what the cost of that failure is, and then outline how Donald Trump would solve it.
	These two speeches are an absolute model for the rest of his campaign.
	And uh I really think with Steve Bannon and with Kellyanne Ann Conway coming in that that's going to give him renewed energy and renewed drive.
	These are very smart people.
	They understand exactly the kind of politics you're describing, and I suspect they're going to be very, very helpful uh as he lays out what what needs to be done in the next few weeks.
	Let me ask you this, because I mean they did make this announcement fairly early in the morning this morning, and the media ran with it as a Trump shakeup eighty-three days out of the election.
	From my reading of this and from what I know from inside the campaign, what this really is, uh adding additional people for additional roles as a campaign would normally do.
	How do you is is that a right interpretation?
	No, look, that's that's entirely my read of what's going on here.
	That you've got this campaign is growing, that it's learning what it has to do to win nationwide.
	Um and you know, Paul Manafort did a tremendous job of stabilizing the campaign, organizing the convention, uh organizing the first fundraising.
	Remember, they raised eighty-two million dollars in July.
	Uh so lots of things are starting to work, but they they just need more talent.
	Just running for president in fifty states, taking on and managing the national news media, and then coping with the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration.
	This these are huge jobs, and they just need the level of talent they're beginning to get, and I think Trump said it very well.
	When he said, Look, I'm bringing in some real winners, these guys know how to win, and they're gonna do a great job.
	And I suspect that that's exactly right.
	Yeah.
	What would you say from this point forward if if if my model for advice for Trump would be to stay on message, only m mention Obama and Hillary, to continue to give speeches like he has the last two days.
	I I do like them on the teleprompter, personally, that's my own personal preference.
	Um, for him to do a lot of debate prep, I'd get a the meanest liberal acting person I can find to to poke and prod and annoy and frustrate him during a a debate prep session or numerous debate prep sessions.
	I think if he does all of that and he and he comes up with these promises that I keep saying he ought to come out with to America and the things, the positions that he stands on and the and the positions that he's gonna promise the American public, kind of like a contract with America, I think that's a winning formula for him.
	Thoughts.
	Well, I I think that's right, and I think the the degree to which he can stay fact-based.
	You know, what was really impressive about both the speech on Islamic terrorism and then the speech yesterday on the inner city is the sheer number of facts in his speeches.
	I mean, Hillary's trying to get away with platitudes and vague emotional generality.
	So Donald Trump was laying out all like the businessman that he is, a very factually based thing.
	So I think it's not just focusing on Hillary and focusing on Barack Obama, but it's going through it in a detailed way.
	This is what's happened to the average premium under Obamacare.
	This is what's happened to the average deductible under Obamacare.
	This is how all the insurance companies are collapsing because they can't afford to operate under Obamacare.
	This is what's happened to doctors.
	And now here is my solution to that.
	Well, you can add one other thing.
	Obama just released Obama just released 15 more Gitmo detainees today.
	So they can go back to the battlefield and kill more Americans.
	There couldn't be a greater contrast in how they would approach terrorism than to look at what what Obama has done and to look at what uh uh the the Donald Trump has said he would do.
	I mean, you couldn't get much further apart than those guys are right now.
	What do you say to those people, Republicans, both politicians and the the George Wills and the NRO guys and the Wall Street Journal guys that are sabotaging Trump and and frankly I say they own Hillary's Supreme Court choices.
	They own that we don't have border security.
	They will own unvetted refugees in a bad economy.
	Your thoughts in the 30 seconds we have left.
	Well, I think different people have different reasons, uh, and and I think some of them don't care, some of them have ego reasons, but I would say to any member of the House or Senate, you better hope that Donald Trump wins because otherwise you're buying four years more in opposition, four more years of left-wing executive orders, four more years of left wing judges.
	So no elected Republican should be confused about what's at stake.
	This is the biggest choice between Trump and Trump that we've seen in my lifetime.
	I totally agree with your analysis, but I'm a little stronger than you, perhaps.
	I say they own it.
	They're partly responsible.
	And it's because for whatever reason.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
	Appreciate it.
	800 941 Sean.
	When we get back, I'll tell you what we'll do.
	We'll hit the phones right out of the box, 800 941 Sean, top of the hour.
	We have Pastor Thomas Rogers and the Reverend Charles Christian Adams will talk about Trump's speech about the black community from last night and crime and policing, and of course, how to protect the homeland.
	As promised, let's get to our busy busy telephones, as we promised.
	We'll start New York City, the all new AM 710 WOR, the talk of New York, New Jersey, and Long Island.
	How are you, Jonathan?
	Hey, Mr. Henry, you're a free American.
	Yes, sir.
	Glad you called.
	Happy Wednesday.
	First time caller long listener.
	I'm 26 years old.
	Uh my family's in law enforcement anyway.
	Um, I just wanted to say that I was nervous about wearing a Trump t-shirt today for the first time.
	And I feel like I shouldn't be like that, but I did it anyway.
	And uh when I was walking through Manhattan into work in Midtown Manhattan, uh, plenty of construction workers, lots of other citizens were smiling and giving me thumbs up.
	So I just wanted to tell you that.
	Well, listen, I'm gonna tell you something right now.
	I don't know what's going to happen.
	You know, it's funny.
	Nate Silver is a guy that was applauded and and accolades given to him because he had picked Obama winning, and you know, he's been very wrong in in this cycle.
	I don't I I actually find his model pretty fascinating.
	Liberals love the guy, and at different points, you know, based on different data, he changes his predictions.
	And you know, with recent polls more favoring Hillary Clinton more, he's adjusted his model.
	And I don't know what it is right now today, but at one point it was a fifty-eight percent Trump chance of winning, and then it was down to twenty-eight percent.
	Now it's up and down, and and by the way, I think is the right way to do because uh a poll is a snapshot of any given day or any given point or period of a campaign, and things can change and things shift and polls adjust and incidents happen.
	I mean, it may it may be very possible here we are, eighty-three days till election day, and that the defining electoral event has not even happened.
	So, you know, uh but I do tell people somebody had suggested or he suggested, I think it was him, that somehow I am misleading people by by giving them false hope that social data media, and there's been a number of reports out, this guy that did an app, et cetera, you know, suggests that well media can somehow influence or or be an indicator that we had not had in previous elections.
	Kellyanne Conway is suggesting that there's a Trump vote out there that's not going to admit it to any pollster.
	And I'm just throwing that stuff out there.
	But you know, our polls definitely it's up to the citizens to make a difference.
	And people start advertising it more and talking to other people, it's gonna make a huge difference.
	And I think Trump is gonna absolutely devour Hillary Clinton in a debate.
	You know, look, I d I if he prepares, I would say that if he goes in unprepared, then he's making A huge mistake.
	I don't think he particularly prepared a lot for the previous debates in the primaries.
	Um I think he's a guy that has always gone with his gut.
	I don't think you know, I uh there is a certain art of the deal as he writes about that the there's also an art of politics.
	Right and pres you know, since Kennedy and Nixon, presidential debates tend to play a pretty big role, some years more significant than others in determining who the president is.
	I mean, you know, that that classic Nixon Kennedy debate, if you were listening on radio, you thought Nixon won.
	If you were watching on TV, you saw Nixon sweating and looked a little uneasy in his own skin, and and there's a fresh young tan Kennedy with makeup on.
	I think the main thing is Trump is gonna get under Hillary Clinton's skin and she's gonna she's gonna show her true her true colors and panic, so I think it's gonna make a huge difference.
	I actually think Hillary's entire strategy for these debates was gonna be to poke and prod and try and get Donald Trump to get angry.
	No, I don't think it's gonna work.
	I think he's so used to being, you know, um, you know, try to make the need to be looking a bigot when he's not, and he's just used to, you know, looking your ball off his shoulders most of the time.
	Not always, but I think it's in a backfire.
	I think it's gonna be the other way around, honestly.
	Well, you know, look, I if Trump does bubble and fizz like Alcuster, I'd argue probably game over.
	So those debates are gonna play a very, very big part in all of this.
	All right, Walt is in Pittsburgh, PA.
	Uh Walt, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Welcome to the Sean Hannity show.
	Sean, speaking of the debates, I have the perfect strategy for Mr. Trump.
	Invite the family members of the four uh fallen Americans from Benghazi and have them sit in the front row, watch her head blow up like one of those commercials and just go poof, because I think she'll have her coughing fit, she'll have to have somebody there like Joe Biden holding her hand the whole time so she doesn't fall over.
	And you're gonna see more people watching the debates because if you look, the NFL games they're up against are not the Pittsburgh Steelers, so you're gonna have more audience.
	If it was against the Steelers, Steelers Nation, and by the way, October 9th, you and I are gonna make a bet that they'll have the the viewers.
	I think it's the NFL that's more upset about you know they're gonna lose the viewers to the uh debates.
	Look, I I the the idea that they scheduled them during football is absolutely ridiculous because football is probably the one event that could compete with this presidential debate.
	Now, with that said, I still think probably you're gonna have record numbers watching these debates.
	And I do think that there are a lot of people that don't follow the the day-to-day campaigns the way we do, because we love this, and and this is an ongoing Super Bowl for those of us that love politics, and I do think it's gonna take on a level of importance.
	So look, let me go back to 1980.
	I mentioned Richard Nixon and and John Kennedy, and John Kennedy put on makeup, and John Kennedy looked rested, and John Kennedy looked tan, and and Richard Nixon didn't put on makeup, and Richard Nixon looked fidgety and and uneasy.
	So the TV audience thought that Kennedy won that debate.
	The radio audience thought that Nixon won the debate because they were only listening to the substance.
	Uh similarly, in nineteen eighty-four, Reagan did not have a good first debate performance against Walter Mondale, and a lot of people were questioning is he too old for the job?
	Is he up for the second term?
	And he needed to prove in that second debate that he was.
	And when he turned to Walter Mondale and said, I am not gonna let my opponent's youth and inexperience be an issue in this campaign, and Walter Mondale cracked up laughing, it was game over, point made.
	He got elected in a landslide.
	So yeah, it's gonna have a big impact.
	I do remember um dating myself as well, that I remember that happening, and it was one of those things that I was not old enough to vote.
	And however, that it was you know, I growing up in Pittsburgh, it's predominantly uh Democrat uh area, but my dad said that's our next president.
	That's gonna be a command that's gonna be around.
	You know, my advice, and not that anyone listens to me, and thank you for the call.
	Appreciate it, Walt.
	Here's my advice for the Trump campaign, as unsolicited as it is.
	He is gonna have to prepare diligently for these debates.
	He's gotta understand probably it's gonna be standing.
	I would prefer standing for Trump versus sitting.
	I know Hillary may not have the stamina to stand two hours.
	If I say that, that aggravates the left, but she doesn't look too steady on her feet these days, so she may probably push to sit, but I would prefer they stand like they have in past debates.
	And I would suggest that Donald Trump be very smart, very diligent, prepare his two-minute answers, get not to change who he is, be Donald Trump.
	And I think every answer should have three separate components.
	Number one, I would talk about Hillary's failures, Hillary's inconsistencies, Hillary's lack of integrity, and how whatever they're discussing has probably been a fail policy of Obama and Clinton.
	And then I would pivot to what is the solution and what is the answer.
	I mean, that's what he was able to do these last two nights in speeches.
	And we have this town hall with him coming up tonight about this very issue of protecting the homeland.
	And I think the idea that the only two people I would mention ever again are Hillary and Obama.
	And I've said this many times now.
	And the only thing I would focus on is how bad things are and how he's going to make things better for every American.
	And I think he's done that the last two nights.
	From what I've heard, they've actually gone back to every Republican primary debate, and they have pulled out anything that seems to annoy Trump, and Hillary is going to use every one of those strategies to try and piss him off.
	So in debate prep, I would hire the meanest person that you could possibly find that is going to poke and nod and prod and and stab and wound as much as they can, so he's he's used to absorbing that hit.
	One of the things I do in my martial arts training, mixed martial arts training, is I get hit a lot.
	Literally, I will hold out my arms and my martial arts instructor, my sensei will bang it hard, bang my arms hard, so I'm used to taking a punch.
	I'll stand there and I'll I'll let him hit me hard in the stomach.
	I'll let him to a certain extent.
	I I do work in television, he hits me in the head.
	And that is that if I ever am involved in a self-defense incident, it's it's not gonna be the shock to me to get hit.
	It's something that I'm used to, something that I know how to absorb.
	And similarly, preparing for debates, you want to be able to absorb a hit, absorb a punch, and how to counteract that and be a good counterpuncher.
	Anyway, back to our phones.
	Uh as we check in with Nancy, listening in Sacramento on KSTE.
	What's up, Nancy?
	How are you?
	And we're glad you called.
	I'm great, Sean.
	Long time listener.
	Love your show, love what you stand for.
	I've just had enough of this media bias.
	I mean, you have the uh liberal media that's backing us candidate, the establishment on Democrats, establishment on the Republicans, who are worried about uh their careers as politicians, and they don't want Donald Trump to upset the apple card.
	And you have two men, Mike Parrent, Governor Parent, uh, Donald Trump, who I truly believe love America.
	They want to make our country great again.
	They want what's best for Americans, and you have a media backed candidate who I believe is a socialist liberal.
	And stop me from incorrect, but she is also uh a liar.
	She's dishonest.
	Um has blown her hands numerous times.
	And I think she's a uh three-year politician, has been, who just doesn't care what's good for America, but she just cares about what's gonna make her money and what is going to uh give her the power.
	And she's a big elderly.
	This is what I don't understand.
	You you've got the single most flawed individual, character-wise, that is ever that I can think of run for the presidency.
	And you've got a woman that regularly lies, that has enriched herself through the public offices she has held, and that is been on the wrong side of almost every major policy issue in her career.
	Things that are now proven failure as exemplified by the Obama record.
	And she wants to double down on this failure.
	And yet you have Republicans openly sabotaging Hillary Clinton.
	And that's why I say that, you know, this sabotage is is deep and it's wide, and it includes the Wall Street Journal and includes some on National Review, and it includes Bill Kristol and George Will, and it includes, you know, politicians, even my friend Mitt Romney, who I like a lot.
	It includes Governor John Kasich.
	It includes Jeb Bush.
	It includes Lindsey Graham.
	It includes even my friend Senator Ted Cruz, who I have a deep respect for.
	I'm very disappointed he's not keeping his pledge.
	And I think that this sabotage is going to hurt.
	And the net result of that is going to be that Hillary will make Supreme Court choices, Supreme Court decisions.
	The net result of that is we're not going to defend our borders.
	The net result is we won't vet refugees, and I will predict almost a hundred percent certainty people will buy and get injured and killed as a result of not listening to our intelligence community.
	You know, the same with Obamacare.
	That will continue.
	And the same with energy.
	We're going to never be energy independent with Hillary Clinton.
	There are profound differences here that are at stake.
	It's going to impact the future of this country for generations.
	And those that cannot see just how awful and bad she is.
	You know, Mark Belling is a guy in Milwaukee, and I ran into him.
	And I like him a lot.
	He's he's he's quirky, he's funny, he's smart, he's bright, he fills in for rush.
	And every time I go to Milwaukee, I I usually go out of my way to find him and say hello, and I respect his work and I just think he's extremely talented.
	He wanted Ted Cruz to win in Wisconsin.
	I think he was very influential in in helping Ted Cruz win.
	And he said to me yesterday, just summed it up pretty well.
	He said, Look, uh, yeah, I'm I'm gonna vote for Donald Trump.
	He said, What's the tr what's the option?
	With Hillary, it's a hundred percent, it's gonna be awful.
	With Trump, I'll say at least maybe it's fifty percent.
	He said, I'll take those odds any day.
	And for somebody that was maybe looking like a Never Trumper guy, I kind of admired how he looked at it, and I'm not surprised because he's a pretty bright guy, and he thinks through issues, and I just have a deep respect for the guy.
	So, anyway, Nancy appreciate it.
	All right, when we come back, we gotta take a break here.
	We have our news roundup and information overload hour on the program.
	All right, not only do we have what's going on in Milwaukee, when we come back, Pastor Tom Rogers and the Reverend Christian uh Charles Christian Adams will join us, and not only would we will we discuss the presidential candidates, we'll also discuss what's been happening in Milwaukee in the black community and some of the statements of Donald Trump last night and the speech that he gave in the West End in outside of Milwaukee.
	My opponent, Hillary, would rather protect the offender than the victim.
	Big problem in our society.
	Hillary Clinton backed policies are responsible for the problems in the inner cities today, and a vote for her is a vote for another generation of poverty, high crime, and lost opportunities.
	I care too much about my country to let this happen.
	USA!
	And when I'm president, I will fight for the safety of every American, and especially those Americans who have not known safety for a very, very long time.
	I'm asking for the vote of every African American citizen struggling in our country today who wants a different and much better future.
	It's time for our society to address some honest and very, very difficult truths.
	The Democratic Party has failed and betrayed the African American community.
	Democratic crime policies, education policies, and economic policies have produced only more crime, more broken homes, and more poverty.
	The poverty rate here is nearly double the national average.
	Almost four in ten African American men in Milwaukee between the ages of twenty-five and fifty-four, do not have a job.
	Nearly four in ten single mother households are living in poverty.
	Fifty-five public schools in this city have been rated as failing to meet expectations, despite ten thousand dollars in funding per pupil, which is a very, very high number.
	There's only a sixty percent graduation rate, and it's one of the worst public school systems anywhere in the country.
	One in five manufacturing jobs has disappeared in Milwaukee since we fully opened our markets, and you understand what that means.
	We opened these markets to China, and many African American neighborhoods have bur have look, they have suffered.
	We opened our markets, they've taken our Jobs.
	They give us our products that we don't make anymore, and African, American neighborhoods, along with many other neighborhoods, have suffered greatly.
	To every voter in Milwaukee, to every voter living in the inner city or every forgotten stretch of our society, I'm running to offer you a much better future.
	A much better job.
	and a much higher wage.
	All right, Donald Trump last night.
	Wow, pretty powerful speech.
	Joining us to react and respond to this and more is Pastor Thomas Rogers.
	He's from the Antioch Road to Glory, International Ministries in North Carolina, the Reverend Charles Christian Adams, presiding pastor of Harford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit.
	Reverend Adams, welcome back.
	It's always good to have you.
	Thank you for being with us.
	If you look at the numbers, let me throw out a few statistics to you.
	We have the lowest home ownership rate now since Obama's been president in fifty-one years.
	We have the re worst recovery since the nineteen forties.
	We have the lowest labor participation rate since the nineteen seventies.
	We have twelve million more Americans on food stamps.
	We have another eight million more in poverty since he's been president, and we've doubled the national debt.
	On top of that, fifth there's been a fifty-eight percent increase in black Americans on food stamps and a twenty percent increase in black Americans not participating in the labor force.
	Um does what Donald Trump says here, I mean, factually, statistically, seems to confirm everything he's saying, and that is that the policies of liberal democrats are not working for the black community.
	Your reaction.
	Well, I certainly disagree with that.
	What uh uh Mr. Trump failed to acknowledge is is that right now Wisconsin is a republic Republican controlled state, and cities are creeping.
	But Milwaukee, let me let me correct you, sir, because Milwaukee has not had a Republican mayor since nineteen oh eight.
	If you look at Baltimore, for example, if you look at Baltimore, Governor Scott.
	Democrats have have run that city into the ground for the last fifty to sixty years.
	If you look at Ferguson, Missouri.
	But if you look statewide, Wisconsin is suffering statewide, especially in the manufacturing jobs.
	But you're you're you're you are Reverend.
	You have you have ignored everything that I've said.
	The last eight years, we have America's first black president, and black Americans have a fifty-eight percent increase on food stamps, a twenty percent increase of being out of the labor force.
	I just gave you statistics that should shock your conscience and soul about people more more millions more in poverty on food stamps, the worst recovery, worst labor participation rate, lowest home ownership rate.
	And you just ignore all of that, and you just want to gloss over what has been and can only be defined as a dismal failure.
	Why can't you just acknowledge the simple truth of what I just told you?
	You shall know the truth, Reverend, and the truth will set you free.
	On the city, as a matter of fact, that city has been working with less resources than many American cities, and they have done a spectacular job making bricks without straw, so to speak.
	But statewide Wisconsin is lagging behind you say are you saying that the president who is doing it?
	Here's my question have a greater.
	Are you saying that the president of the United States who promised shovel ready jobs and then laughed and said, Oops, they're not so shovel ready, who double who accumulated more debt than every president before him combined, and that promised hope and change.
	You're saying that that president has not failed, not only black America, but all of America by putting millions more in poverty and on food stamps, by by having the lowest labor participation rate, the lowest home ownership rate, and the worst recovery since the forties.
	You're saying that is insignificant.
	You're saying he's successful?
	I don't think that it's insignificant that he saved the economy, which was on the economy.
	When he became president, and it's significant that Governor Scott Walker has run manufacturing jobs out of Wisconsin that's the African American community at a greater rate than it has affected others.
	And you can't say that African Americans are dominating those who are getting food stamps across the country and in Wisconsin.
	Yes, there have been more people who have been in need of government intervention, but white or black, city and suburb people have needed that kind of help.
	We're not the only ones.
	But yes, in Milwaukee, they have had terrible, terrible uh statistics and inequity and unemployment.
	But it has highly been a federal issue.
	Pastor Thomas Rogers, I think, impact on the city than a federal government.
	Pastor Rogers, I look at President Obama's failure, not only for the black community, but for the entire country as a disaster.
	But particularly, I think those that have been disproportionately negatively impacted are the black community, as as Donald Trump said last night.
	your reaction.
	First of all, Sean, thank you for having us on your show.
	And what you're saying making a lot of sense.
	There was a song, even a pair of them now, in the 60s, by Ray Charles, hit the road, Jack.
	Don't come here no more, no more, no more.
	I think that African-Americans should stand up to the plate and accept our wrongdoing.
	We have the most divorces.
	We have more bastard children in the streets.
	There are more churches and barber shops and prisons.
	It's all we have in our community and churches.
	And I think that black churches have a responsibility to not blame Mr. Trump, but blame ourselves and hope that Mr. Trump will give us the same opportunities he's promising.
	I have faith in him.
	I believe that he will bring business to our community.
	It's not politics.
	And this is my values to trust in him and to see what he has done He had some intelligent children.
	They're not jailbirds.
	They're not criminals.
	And I think that Sean that uh we're moving and you were moving in the right direction.
	I I really thank you for your value and your export being outspoken.
	And I think African Americans, both male and female, we must take responsibility for so many best of children.
	Uh crime in the g Detroit, Michigan, New York, California, and and the the black witnesses suffering because they have no no men in the home.
	I think we should have them responsible.
	Let me give you some examples.
	I I agree with you, Pastor, and and I I I think staying on the straight and narrow, I th I think the good book kind of points us in the right direction if all of us would only listen.
	So I'm I'm totally agreeing with and and giving you a huge amen here.
	But you know, but I also look at I also look at government policies that are impacting.
	You know, one thing that that Donald Trump talks about is building the wall.
	We have ninety-five million Americans now that are outside of the labor force.
	Many of them are black Americans.
	So you have illegal immigrants that don't respect our laws and sovereignty that cross into our country.
	And I and I'm not talking about those that might be involved in some effort to bring harm to our towns and cities.
	It's a national security issue also.
	But on the economic side, you have people that enter the country illegally, you have ninety-five million Americans out of work, those illegals are now competing for jobs, many jobs that the black community would otherwise get, and in the process, they're they're displacing black Americans in these jobs, and in other instances they're driving down wages to the point where it's not a livable wage because you have too many people applying for the jobs.
	And that to me is just intolerable.
	And yet the president claims and Hillary claims that he have this monopoly of of compassion for the black community, but their policies, as evidenced by the statistics of fifty-eight percent increase of black Americans on food stamps the last eight years and a twenty percent any increase in black Americans not in the labor force.
	You know, I don't know why you, Pastor Adams can't see that these policies have hurt the black community and they're not helping the black community.
	Well, the policies that you're talking about, hey, Obama took a uh an economy that was on the brink of insolvency.
	And when I think about the Clinton policies of nineteen ninety-two until uh two thousand, I saw more investment in the inner city, a expansion of the middle class which had been unprecedented in U.S. history.
	And when I think of Mr. Trump, I see him exporting jobs to Bangladesh.
	I see him exporting jobs to China for his own company.
	Well, I owe it to the respect, I owe I also I live in hang on a second.
	I live in New York, Reverend, and I also have watched and witnessed many a a labor project built by Donald Trump, towers being built one after another, building projects, golf courses, and everything else where he's putting Americans to work.
	I I can't think of a single job that Hillary Clinton ever created in the private sector in her life, but I did watch her enrich herself by selling access to her office vis-a-vis people who donated to the Clinton Foundation and and big banks and insurance companies that gave her and her husband, you know, between two hundred and fifty and seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a speech.
	Um I don't see Donald Trump doing any of these things.
	So you know, you seem to want to be critical of Trump.
	At least Trump's created jobs.
	Yeah, but Sean, the problem with that is when you look at Hillary Clinton's donor list, it includes Donald J. Trump because he was trying To buy that access that you're talking about.
	But now all of a sudden it's evil for her to raise money.
	The same way the same game he played for his advantage.
	Now it's an evil thing for a woman politician to raise money the same way male politicians, and particularly white male politicians, have been raising money in this electoral system.
	With all due respect, Donald Trump has been self-funding most of his campaign.
	That's number one.
	Number two, I don't know that Donald Trump, I'm sure you would agree with me on this that for Hillary Clinton to take money from a country like Saudi Arabia, uh, where women are abused and men tell them how to dress, what men tell them they can't drive, up until recently they couldn't vote, that women can't go to school or or work without a man's permission,
	where gays and lesbians can be executed, where you can't build the Christian church, you'd be arrested if you tried to to practice your faith in Saudi Arabia, uh, where Jewish temples can't be built, so they're prejudiced against Jews and Christians, gays and lesbians and women, and she took up to twenty five million dollars for the Clinton Foundation, ten million for the Clinton Library, and she's never spoken out about this abysmal human rights record.
	And why do you support her?
	Don't you think she has a moral obligation to do so?
	Well, you cannot engage in cultural imperialism.
	And there are certain things that I don't agree upon, a lot of cul with with a lot of cultures that we've and certainly you can't say that Republicans have done any better at forcing people to live like.
	Well, I can actually give you numbers where that's that's actually true, and I'll go to Pastor Rogers here.
	Pastor Rogers Reagan came into office with far more difficult economic conditions than Obama.
	Yeah, double di digit interest rates and inflation that was out of control, double digit unemployment, and Reagan in his presidency created twenty-one million new jobs.
	He doubled revenues to the federal government.
	He gave us the longest period of peacetime economic growth in American history, and Obama when he leaves office will be the first president ever not to have one year of three percent GDP growth.
	So I I think Republican conservative principles, when applied, actually work, and we see this with governors in states like Texas and Florida and Oklahoma and Louisiana and and Wisconsin and and Ohio and and South Carolina and elsewhere.
	Uh Shannon, I think that uh that the uh I'm seven or three years old, and I never voted for nobody in my whole life.
	I'm neither Republican or Democrat, but I see something in Mr. Trump.
	I never seen in a politician.
	And I think that we African Americans we must own up to our problems.
	Uh nations come here from Europe and the turn of the last century, dope and shoe businesses, garment industries.
	I lived in New York many years.
	Uh we African Americans own nothing but barbershops and churches, beauty salons.
	And we're we've we're putting the blame on the Republicans and under Democratic.
	It's our responsibility to take heed to ourselves and to our children.
	And I think Mr. Trump is the person you can talk to and and and uh dialogue with for a better future.
	And I think you're doing a superb job too.
	I've been watching you a long time, uh, Sean.
	And I like the way you're standing up.
	I appreciate your kind words, Peter.
	And your conversations I I admire that.
	I watch every night, and sometimes during the daytime.
	So I think that we be black ministers in the book of Isaiah, chapter 56 and 10 and 11.
	God called his watching dumb dogs.
	They couldn't have watched over his own people.
	We've seen incest in our churches, we've seen pastors labor women, we've seen that men having babies have disowned them, and the church is full of bastard children.
	And I don't think we need to put the problem on the Democrats or Republicans.
	I think we should look at ourselves.
	And one thing is on the cross.
	Uh there was two thieves hanging on the cross.
	One thieves was still accusing Jesus, but the other thieves admit that they had been wrong, brother of death.
	So I'm the like the thief on the cross.
	We all have done wrong.
	But what we need to do is repent and recant and get behind someone who can give us a second chance in life.
	And uh change Sean, you don't agree a question.
	Well, Pastor, I have to leave, but I gotta tell you, you keep put me in your prayers.
	I'm one of the people that need salvation.
	You know, I'm the one that needs prayer and fasting, as a matter of fact.
	Yes, yes.
	I appreciate it.
	Thank you, and Reverend Adams, thank you.
	Hey, when we come back, we'll get to your phone calls or Town Hall with Donald Trump.
	Hannity, 10 Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
	We'll be right back.
	Exposing government waste and abuse of your liberties every day.
	Sean Hannity is on right now.
	All right, 25 till the top of the hour, toll-free.
	Telephone number 800-941 Sean.
	You want to be a part of the program, our town hall on protecting the homeland, defeating ISIS and radical Islam with Donald Trump tonight.
	Uh from Wisconsin, 800 941 Sean.
	We'll get to our phones as we promised.
	Uh all right, our friend Diane from uh Twitter at Surfer Die.
	She's literally surfs with the sharks every day, even though there are horrible shark attacks out there.
	How often, how many shark attacks this year?
	Hi, Sean.
	Aloha.
	Um it's been pretty quiet this year.
	It has been.
	I don't think we've had one.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, that's good.
	How many did you have last year?
	Oh, well, I don't know.
	I think there was about six or so last year.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, what's on uh your mind in paradise today?
	I mean, it's actually I've been on to Hawaii just one time in my life, and we broadcast from Pearl Harbor, and and I it was really an amazing experience, and I loved it there.
	And but I gotta tell you, it's not the real world to me.
	It's like there is no intensity or urgency in life there.
	It's a whole different way to live.
	And that's why I love listening to you guys, because you keep me in touch with my roots and everything because uh, you know, I'm from the East Coast.
	This this is very, very, very laid back here.
	Yeah.
	Um I love how you're fighting back on Twitter with all these people that I mean, you're getting hit from all sides, the left, the right, conservatives, trump people, never Trump people.
	I mean, everybody's after you.
	It's crazy.
	Uh yeah, I'm getting hit hard, but I'm gonna tell you something, and and this is important, and I think people understand.
	I am really at peace with where I am.
	I am a piece at how I have handled this entire election cycle.
	Uh we put up on my website, for example, my speech in 2015 at CPAC.
	I said, you know what?
	I'm gonna give access to every candidate, don't play it.
	I'm gonna give access to every candidate, and I'm gonna let you, the people, decide.
	And I followed through on my pledge and my promise.
	In twenty sixteen I said, I'm gonna support the nominee that you choose.
	This was only one month into the primaries, we had no idea who's gonna win.
	And I said, I'm gonna support them.
	Uh Hillary is not an option for me.
	And as I have interviewed and watched Donald Trump, uh maybe he's not maybe at times he's inarticulate, says controversial things.
	Uh he certainly has found his footing as a politician in terms of it's it's not his first profession.
	I kind of like that about him.
	To me, it's not a negative, it's a plus.
	But when it comes to the Supreme Court, when it comes to listening to our intelligence officials and betting refugees, when it comes to being able to identify radical Islam as evil of our time, when it comes to protecting our borders for national security and economic reasons, I agree with him.
	When it comes to his plan to reduce taxes and stimulate the economy and allow repatriated money back and control spending, I agree with him.
	When it comes to energy independence versus putting coal companies out of business, coal miners out of business, I agree with him.
	When it comes to sending education back to the states, I agree with him.
	His passion to fix the VA, I share.
	His passion to build up our military so we're stronger, I share.
	His passion about the second amendment, I share.
	So I'm giving very specific differences and very specific choices to people.
	And for all of those people, you know, that have their noses up in the air, are arrogant, frankly, and I think very short-sighted.
	If they and frankly, they're they're aiding and abetting Hillary by sabotaging.
	And I'm talking about, quote, Republicans that force fed us people like Dole and McCain over the years.
	I'm saying that if, in fact, Hillary's elected, they own the Supreme Court choices that she makes.
	They own unvetted refugees being allowed into this country and and increasing the number by 550%.
	They own that she can't identify evil in our time.
	They own open borders, they own Obamacare, they own the firing of of coal miners, they own education being influenced by the NEA.
	They own all of this.
	And uh, I'm just pointing out what is the obvious.
	This is not a hard choice for me.
	This is a simple.
	I mean, you're doing a fantastic job, Sean.
	And and you have you're never gonna make everyone happy, and it's it's pretty cut and dry the way I see it as well.
	I mean, it if if if we don't support the nominee, Hillary is going to win.
	I mean, that's it's just a matter of turnout.
	Look, I I I see Congressmen, senators, former presidential candidates, and the establishment elite within the Republican Party openly sabotaging Trump, and in the process, they're aiding and abetting Hillary Clinton.
	And I'm just not gonna be quiet about it.
	And I'm holding them accountable.
	And then and then they're saying this is my responsibility.
	I I was I didn't beat up Trump for them.
	Well, they beat him up as hard as they possibly could, and they had no impact on the voters.
	That shows how much influence they have.
	And uh all I did.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Thank you, Diane, appreciate it.
	You know, one other thing that I did, if you watched the interviews I did during the primary process, um, I think I I frankly am very proud of the way I handled it.
	I'd ask every candidate about immigration, about the economy, I'd ask him about ISIS, I'd ask him about education, I'd ask him about energy, I'd ask him about the military, about the second amendment, if they're pro-life.
	I'd ask them, you know, the one thing I didn't do was interrupt them.
	I made a very conscious decision.
	If I was interviewing Ted Cruz or John Kasich or Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush, let them get their point of view out so that I could do a service for you, the voters.
	It's hilarious to me that, you know, I said I'd give them airtime, I did, that the American voters made a decision.
	I said that I'd support whatever that decision is.
	And herein I get criticized because of the way the voters went.
	And meanwhile, they're doing everything in their power on social media, in their columns, uh, on TV, on radio, to basically give half a vote, aid and comfort to a woman that is a pathological and congenital liar, a woman whose policies have literally upended the entire Middle East into chaos and confusion, the likes of which we've never seen.
	A woman responsible for not providing security in Benghazi, lying about an attack, not supporting Americans under attack, lying to families in front of the coffins of their dead loved ones, and that's the person you're gonna get.
	That's the single person who has enriched herself more than any other person that I can ever think of in public office and sold out her office for money and access and influence, and yet that's your option and live with it.
	And that means all of you at NRO that are that are part of this Never Trump campaign, all of you at the Wall Street Journal, uh, all of you that consider yourself part of the punditry class, even some, you know, some radio and television hosts, I say you own it.
	And when she picks the next Supreme Court nominee, you can pat yourself on the back because you contributed to that selection in a major way.
	Why, because you don't like Donald Trump's tone, or maybe he's inarticulate on occasion, he's not a seasoned politician, or is it maybe that this whole incestuous, sick, twisted, ugly establishment is about to be upended if he gets elected.
	And I'm just telling you how Washington works.
	Very few people will tell you the truth, but I am telling you those in the punditry class, those that are reporters, those that are writers, those that are on TV, those that work for congressional offices, those that work for senatorial offices, you know, they're one big happy, incestuous little family.
	And they've got themselves working with each other and doing favors for each other and going out drinking with each other and out to dinner with each other and dating each other and doing God knows what with each other.
	And that's that is they're not thinking about the other, you know, the people that are suffering, the the people I talk about every day, the 12 million more on food million more on food stamps, the what, 40, 50 million, almost 50 million Americans on food stamps, eight million increase in in poverty under Obama.
	They're not talking about those Americans in middle America out of work, out of the labor force, not counted in the unemployment statistics.
	They're not talking about the lowest home ownership rate in 51 years.
	They're not talking about the worst recovery since the 40s.
	They're not talking about the failure in Libya, the failure in Iraq, the failure in Syria, the failure with the Russian reset.
	They're not talking about Hillary's lies, corruption, the selling of her office.
	I'm doing all of that.
	And as I compare and contrast these two campaigns, this is not a hard decision for me.
	This is what you call for me a layup, a no-brainer.
	Very, very simple, very, very easy.
	And if Trump only succeeds in appointing Supreme Court justices, that's significant.
	If he achieved energy independence, that would be significant.
	If he builds the wall, that would be huge for the country and have a dramatic change in impact in the country.
	If he protects our second amendment rights, that too would be an incredible thing for the country.
	If he builds up the military and fixes the VA as he has said he would, that would be great.
	You know, Obamacare costs per family are up forty one hundred dollars in the last eight years under Obama.
	If he eliminated that and provided choice and competition and portability and allowing for pre-existing conditions, wow.
	That would be infinitely better for the American consumer seeking health care options and choices.
	So I am I am extraordinarily at peace with who I am, with how I've handled this, the promises I made, the promises I kept, and the promises to provide you the access and the promises to support the eventual nominee.
	And I'll pull the lever proudly because there is no option with Hillary Clinton in my mind.
	Let's go back to our phones.
	Let's say hi to Sean in Trenton, New Jersey, listening to the all-new AM710 WOR podcast.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm well, thank you, Sean.
	My question pertains to Trump articulating the conservative agenda that you've said you know he believes in and will implement based on the conversations that you've had with him both publicly and privately.
	Um to the casual observer of politics who doesn't follow conservative conservative media or listen to your show or others like it and the interviews that Trump and his surrogates give, their exposure to Trump is limited to the chopped up manipulated sound bites that the mainstream media play over and over again.
	Um if you were advising Trump, how specifically would you instruct him to get his message out over the noise, especially to the millennials who get their news from social media, which is so heavily liberal dominated.
	I think it's a great question.
	I think what he's done in the last two days, and you can watch the town hall uh that we do with Donald Trump tonight on Hannity on the Fox News Channel.
	I I I think giving speeches, not being distracted, not digressing, but staying focused and keeping it on a teleprompter, I think is a big issue.
	I think only talking about Hillary and Obama's failures and offering his antidote, his solution to these problems, and I think preparing for the debates uh are the three big things I would advise him to do.
	If he does those things, I think he can become the next president.
	If he doesn't, then he won't win.
	So anyway, that's I hope that answers your question.
	James in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
	James, hi, how are you?
	We're glad you called.
	Good afternoon.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Thank you for listening to KRMG.
	My question is uh with Bernie Sanders not making the cut.
	Um and we can say it was rigged, and I I certainly agree with that.
	But had he actually made it through, do you feel or what are your thoughts on the Democrats?
	Would we see the Democrats sabotaging his attempts at an election, the way that we're seeing the GOP go after Donald Trump and his attempt now at uh at winning the election?
	Yeah, I think I actually think, and I've said this before the election, the process ever started.
	I don't care who the nominee was.
	At this point, the media would be turning on any Republican nominee.
	It's just the way the media works.
	They're in the tank for Hillary.
	CNN is the Clinton news network, NBC, CBS, ABC, most of the mainstream media is.
	Uh the reason I am under particular fire at this time is because both in 2007 and eight and twelve, they have found me a pretty, I guess, effective voice of opposition, which is why Obama mentioned me 15 times.
	Now I got the Hillary Clinton campaign mentioned to me today or yesterday, whenever it is.
	And uh I've got CNN going ballistic over me, and I've got the Wall Street Journal and National Review, never Trump Republican establishment people after me.
	So, you know, from my perspective is I I just think this is par for the course.
	This is a typical election year for me, if that makes sense.
	Well, as far as the Democrats, do you do you feel that if Bernie had made the ticket rather than Hillary, we would see the Democrats going against him the same way that exactly.
	Um I I just think I think that I think look, the media is the media is the single biggest contributor to the Democratic Party.
	Period, end of sentence.
	That's it.
	Period, end of sentence.
	And we just have to accept that this is the way she is.
	Anyway, eight hundred nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
