Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Let not your heart be troubled.
You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show Podcast.
All right, glad you're with us.
Write down our toll free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
A lot of ground to cover today.
It's 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, huge reaction to our town hall last night with Donald Trump.
Yeah, we had a bunch of protests.
It's so entertaining.
I mean, I'll be honest.
All these people, black lives matter, sort of chanting.
Black lives matter, black lives matter.
So they're being taken out of the hall.
And I'm like, excuse me, all lives matter.
Uh we just had a pretty raucous, fun, rowdy crowd, but more importantly, I think we did something last night and will do tonight that nobody in the media is going to do.
And that is go it deep in depth on significant substantive issues and solutions to the problems our country is facing.
One of them has to be dealt with.
These problems have to be dealt with.
You know, in the course of interviewing people, even if it's an hour-long interview and you're trying to cover, let's see, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, Libya, you know, all of these things.
It's, and then you add the economy into the mix.
It is nearly impossible to do it.
And I just knew last night was an opportunity to do something you'd never see in the mainstream media.
You'd never read in the New York Times, you'd never read in the Washington Post, no major network.
The Clinton News Network for certain would not touch this.
And that is giving you, and I started the show with this last night, information about how massive this issue of illegal immigration slash refugees is and the impact that it's having on the country.
And I went over all of this and let them look and then to add, you know, some reality to how bad it is.
We had these wonderful families, these mothers that lost their children at the hands of illegal immigrants, and we're not protecting Americans here on our society in our society.
And so I went through, for example, I'm going to give you some of these numbers.
And pay close attention because every number I'm giving, it's either about your tax dollars, it's either about your families being impacted by crime and the cost to our educational system, our health care system, our criminal justice system.
I mean, the the Federation of Pure Research now tells us there's 11 million, 11.3 million illegal immigrants in the country.
11.3 million.
Now, if 11.3 million in the country, let's say all of them just wanted to come here for a better job, better opportunity.
All right, great.
Well, what about those people that want to bring damage and harm to your town and your city and our country?
What about those people?
Because if 11 million people can come here because they want a job, well, so too can ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, radical jihadists of of whatever whatever persuasion.
It's all the same thing.
They want to destroy anybody that doesn't convert.
It's convert or die.
It's advanced the caliphate.
Anyway, so you look at the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
These are numbers you'll never hear in the mainstream media because they'll very rarely print them.
They certainly won't paint the picture on a canvas as completely as as we did last night and we're doing here.
We spend 113 billion dollars every year on illegal immigration.
A hundred and thirteen billion dollars.
That's coming out of your pocket.
If you look at states and local governments, they bear the brunt of that cost.
They're paying 84 billion dollars a year also.
And they don't have any choice.
Oftentimes it's the federal government, the policies of Barack Obama, they make the decision about what they're gonna do with criminal aliens.
In most cases, they catch them and release them.
And they give them a bail and they say, Well, you are to appear on this date.
Okay, do you think any of those people show up?
Nope.
They just go back out, then they get arrested again, no problem.
Just give them bail and they'll jump bail again.
It doesn't matter.
You know, eighty-four billion dollars a year per states are shelling out that money.
You know, we're spending eleven billion on medical care, ten billion in general expenses, nearly nine billion injustice expenses expenses, five point three billion dollars welfare-related costs.
You know, all right, so we have ninety-five million Americans out of the labor force.
By the way, since Obama's been president, 20% increase black Americans, they've been disproportionately impacted.
All right, so we have 95 million Americans out of the labor force.
And then you look at the labor force statistics, 8 million that do have jobs are illegal immigrants.
And illegal immigrants make up 5.1% of the U.S. labor force.
Well, I think that would help those people that are looking for jobs.
And not only that, when you have more people competing, it drives down wages.
So people do get the limited jobs that are available because it's the worst recovery since the 40s.
Then we're at a point where, you know, you're going to get paid a lot less than you otherwise would if we were securing our border.
The migration policy institute has an estimate that of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country, 820,000 of them are convicted criminals.
That's nearly one in eleven.
And the most recent numbers show 55,000 illegal immigrants were being held in federal prison.
And we even have a federal crime data breakdown from 2015.
36.6% of the more than 70,000 federal sentences for offenses were committed by, you got it, illegal immigrants.
Let me say it again.
36.6% of the more than 70,000 federal sentences given out in 2015 were committed by illegal immigrants.
In other words, if you look at drug trafficking, illegal immigrants were responsible for 18% of those crimes.
If you look at kidnapping, hostage taking, illegal immigrants were responsible for 30% of those crimes.
If you look at drug possession, illegal immigrants were responsible for 75% of those sentences.
If you look at money laundering, 10%, 21% for national defense sentences, 5% of murder sentences.
Now I was with uh Governor Perry, and we actually will show this tonight.
Governor Perry joins our town hall in Austin with Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump, and Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
Anyway, I've been down on the border more than anybody I know in the country in terms of reporting on it, but one of the times I was down there was at the Rio Grande.
Actually, while we were taping a live show, a family from El Salvador who was caught, you know, like a hundred feet away from us while we're actually doing the show.
I've been out there when gang members were arrested on our side of the border, crossing over into the United States.
Anyway, so you've had 642,000 crimes committed.
I got this briefing when I went down to Texas with Governor Perry, who's a great guy.
You know, just against Texans alone in a seven-year period.
And that, yeah, and that number did include some being murdered and some rapes.
So I've been down there, I've been on horseback, all-terrain vehicle, helicopter, boats, you name it, I've done it.
And I've been everywhere from the Rio Grande to tunnels dug in a San Diego office building from Mexico.
I've seen this up close.
I've seen the drug warehouses.
I've seen it all.
Narcotics, floor to ceiling, more than you'd ever imagine.
Now you think this is so overwhelming that the American people would actually want to talk about this, but all they say is, oh, you're going to kick out the children.
What are you doing?
We're not trying to hurt children here.
We're trying to protect our country and preserve American jobs, and what we're saying is that it's a national security risk for America to have open borders.
We're saying it's hurting American workers because all these illegal immigrants, they come over in the country, they want jobs that Americans desperately need right now.
Because there's net there's been no recovery.
One in five Americans can't find one of them five American families don't have a single family member working.
One in six men, 18 to 34 in this country are either incarcerated or out of work.
I mean, so Donald Trump saying, hey, this is a good idea.
By the way, I think it's beginning to show in the polls a little bit.
Donald Trump continues to make a pretty, this is now the Pew poll was the first poll to pointed this out.
But anyway, there is a poll that shows out of Florida, he's making a lot of progress since he's been reaching out to minority voters, and that started with his Milwaukee speech when we were with him last week.
He fully gets one-fifth of the black vote in the latest Florida survey.
And by the way, he's up two points in that in that particular poll in the very important swing state of Florida.
But anyway, 22% of African American voters in Florida support him.
Well, I if you're a black American, what do you see?
A 58% increase in black Americans on food stamps.
You see a 20% increase of black Americans out of the labor force just since Obama's been president.
Anyway, the poll hit as Trump is visiting Tampa.
He's got a midday rally at the state fairgrounds and it shows Trump with a two-point lead over Hillary Clinton, 4341 with a 2.7% margin of error.
And if you look at the poll, Clinton supported by 68% of black Americans, black voters in Florida.
And if that holds nationally, she loses.
If Donald Trump can get these numbers of black Americans that have been disproportionately and negatively impacted by the Obama Clinton policies, he will be president.
Obama got ninety-three percent of the black vote in 2012.
If Hillary doesn't do at least 20 points better than where she is now in Florida, she's in big trouble.
And if you didn't have all these Republicans sabotaging Trump and he could shore up his base from 75% to 91 or 2%, there's no way mathematically he could lose.
But of course you've got selfish Republicans that aren't looking at the big picture.
They're not looking at judges and Supreme Court justices or refugee issue or building the wall they don't care about any of these things.
They're not looking at Hillary's tax increases and spending increases.
They're not looking at health care and keeping Obamacare versus free market healthcare savings accounts they're not looking at the big picture.
And you got everybody's got their own little agenda in life.
It's unbelievable to me and it's beyond ridiculously selfish.
A friend of mine actually wrote me a note this the painter John McNaughton I've actually bought a few paintings from this guy.
I'm not a big art person but I I just love he writes he he's a an incredible artist that draws a lot about political themes and religious themes and I think he's just enormously gifted and I just happen to love his work.
You know so he points out that people in this election he gave me three categories he thinks they're falling into well I'm too good for this a person that won't vote for anyone who compromises their belief you know it's you know for example I think some people felt they couldn't vote for Mitt Romney because he was Mormon, which was absurd to me.
Anyway, or they have a single issue you know whatever that happens to be and if they don't vote on the right way on that issue they're not going to vote.
Well then you got the group that thinks they're they're they're too smart for this and that voter will prefer to vote for a candidate that they know can't be elected but is less bad than the others they're looking for that perfection he points out or the I'm too fed up for this that category of voters you know that's not just we don't have perfect people.
We're imperfect people.
The human race is a fallen race.
We're a fallen people.
We have flaws.
We have faults.
We all have sinned by far and fallen short of the glory of God.
So you're not going to get the perfection that you're looking for.
I've got to, you know, every single day we come on the airwaves, we can spend another day with another Hillary Clinton bombshell.
Judicial Watch, God bless them, got this information, these new emails you know how did we not get the course of these many years the nearly 15,000 emails and you know another explosion just keeps coming from Team Clinton.
It's sort of like to use a war analogy not that it's war.
It's like an IED a day a landmine a day a hand grenade a second.
Anyway the latest story more than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State gave money either personally or through their companies or groups to the Clinton Foundation.
It's an extraordinary proportion.
It shows how ethically challenged and how motivated she has been from the beginning in enriching her interest and only her interests.
But when you have 85 of the 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Hillary while she was the Secretary of State donating to her family charity or
pledging commitments to the charity to its international programs according to the AP and a review of State Department calendars so 85 donors contributed as much as 156 million in cash and at least 40 donated more than 100 grand each and many gave more Than a million.
And then you look and you follow the money a little bit further and you find out wow.
Not only did they the money they gave to the foundation, buy them access, but it also gave them an opportunity, in this particular case, with Hillary, to make money and enrich themselves, which ends up with more money in Hillary's pocket.
Ponzi scheme, pay to play, bribery, whatever term you want to use.
And wait till I tell you about Uma Abedin when we get back.
All right, 800 941 Sean is a toll-free telephone number you want to be a part of the program.
You know, as I go back and I look at these latest numbers.
So you got Donald Trump now is winning 20% of the black vote, latest poll coming out of Florida today.
Um Nate Silver put a comment on Twitter that I responded to.
Nate Silver, 538, loved by liberals.
He's he's had some success in his projections that he's made.
He's also had a lot of failures this year that nobody seems to want to pay attention to.
But I like his methodology.
Um I find numbers fascinating, so I read them and I glean what I can from them.
And he made the assumption, or has the belief, or is under the false assumption that I don't believe in polling numbers, I actually do.
And while Donald Trump was down real clear politics average seven points just a week ago, it's now down to four something.
So I take that at face value, and I actually believe that, yeah, that could absolutely be true.
There's another poll that came out today, the Battleground State of North Carolina, statistical tie 4442 in the latest Monmouth survey survey.
So things are tightening quite a bit.
And I think Donald Trump has probably had up till now, at least this week, a follow-up to what I thought was his best week so far in the campaign trail, and that is he's not getting distracted by other issues like Judge Curiel or Mr. Connor or well, I guess he did get a little distracted by Joe and Mika for a second, but short of that, Donald Trump has stayed on message.
And Donald Trump is talking about substantive issues.
And that's what we did, and that's what we'll do tonight on this town hall about a specific issue that is impacting our country, as I outlined in the last half hour, which is immigration.
And at the same time, you've got Hillary Clinton continue to unravel.
You know, I said a long time ago on this program that the one issue that may end up defining this election may be emails.
And I may turn out to be right.
So you have Hillary Clinton, and now she's angry at the AP for their analysis, but it is what it is.
I don't think the AP has a particularly conservative agenda.
And what they have discovered is 85 of the 154 non-government individuals who got access to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had donated to the Clinton Foundation or promised to back their programs.
Now we're talking about money in the amounts of 156 million dollars.
100,000 for a ton of them and over a million dollars for others of them.
I mean, that's a lot of money.
And among those granted time with Clinton included an internationally known economist who asked for her help as the Bangladesh government pressured him to re-sign to resign from a nonprofit bank that he ran.
And the Wall Street Journal executive sought Clinton's help with a visa problem and an Estee Lauder executive who was listed as meeting with Clinton while her department worked with the firm's corporate charity to counter gender-based violence in South Africa.
And get this, Clinton also met with representatives of at least 16 foreign governments that donated as much as 170 million dollars to Clinton charities.
You know, but they weren't even included in the AP's calculations because those meetings would presumably have been a you know part of her diplomatic duties.
170 million dollars is real money.
And what does that mean?
Okay, you donate money, then you got this guy Doug Bann running the Clinton Foundation.
Doug Banned also they have Uma Abedin with different positions all over the place in Clinton Worlds.
He's getting three paychecks at once, and Cheryl Mills.
And so Doug Band would say a top donor, top influencer, top contributor, is donating money, can't get through to see Hillary Clinton or talk to her like the Crown Prince of Bahrain.
Can you make this happen for us because he's a donor?
And lo and behold, 84 of the 154 non-government people that see Hillary are donors.
That means that you and me, average people, we don't get the access that they Paid for.
And in some instances, as I've described in earlier days, those people went on to get big contracts.
One guy, donor, big donor to the Clinton Foundation ended up getting the rights to do all the logging and forestry work in Columbia, for example, after he had dinner with the Clintons, who then met with Colombian officials.
Oh, so that means he can make more money doing the forestry work and cutting down trees and raping and pillaging the planet for profit, and then they can give more money and kick it right back to the Clintons.
Quid pro quo, pay to play, bribery, use whatever term you want.
The AP put it, the frequency of the overlap shows the intermingling of access with donations, fueling the perception that giving the foundation money was the price of admission for FaceTime with Clinton.
Her calendars, her emails released as recently as this week describe scores of contacts that she and her top aides had with foundation donors.
Well, that's why her promise or pledge that, well, if I'm elected president, I won't take foreign contributions.
A little too late for that.
They already bought their access, and they expect a return on their investment.
So it just reeks with more Clinton corruption.
I'm not even talking about the dishonesty, the constant lying.
She cannot, she has just has an she's incapable of ever telling the truth.
But it's obviously a violation of the pledge that she made before becoming Secretary of State that she would not even create an appearance of conflict of interest.
And she signed off on that on letterhead from when she was senator.
So this was the perfect embodiment of pay to play.
Quid pro quo, bribery.
And at Hillary, you give her money, she offers you access.
It's all in exchange for financial support.
And then add to that, a lot of these groups, corporations, and governments also funded the Clintons privately and personally and enriched them themselves by paying massive amounts of money for one hour speeches.
You know, 250,000 to 500, 750,000 a pop.
And that's how rich they've gotten off their public position.
They're obsessed with money, these people.
I've never seen anybody as that obsessed with money.
Now you have to be a raging partisan not to see this, because it stinks to high heaven.
It's one bombshell after another.
By the way, I want to give a slight tip of the hat to NBC News for reporting the next story.
On their website, they reported since launching her bid for the presidency.
Hillary has been a vocal critic of for-profit schools pledging in speeches around the country to crack down on predatory schools and help students drowning in student loan debt, but if they load students up with debt for programs that don't lead to good paying jobs, students and taxpayers should not be the only ones left holding the bag, she said, in New Hampshire.
She also slammed Donald Trump, saying he's trying to scam America the way he scammed all those people at Trump University.
Now, Trump is not the only one who profited, according to the story.
Over a five-year period of time, President Bill Clinton earned $17.6 million from the world's largest for-profit education company, Laureate Education, Inc., in his role.
By the way, this was a pro for-profit university in his role as honorary chancellor.
17.6 million dollars in a five-year period.
Now Clinton has traveled the world on laureate's behalf, extolling the virtues of the school.
He gets the 17.6 million for profit education.
He's an honorary chairman.
That means he does very little.
Couple of speeches here and there each of the five years, and he's done.
And experts for that for-profit school, well, they now point out that that led to skyrocketing student loan debt.
By the way, there's 1.3 trillion in outstudent outstanding student loan debt.
One of our advertisers helps students refinance it on average, T R Y S O F I.com, TriSophi.com.
You go there, they save on average students $19,000 over the course of their loan.
It's amazing to me that people have, you know, seven, eight, ten percent interest rates and they haven't refinanced, but they don't.
Some people have credit card debts, they're paying over 15%.
You probably would get a better rate from the mob.
It's amazing.
Anyway, NBC News gathered five current and former graduate students at Walden.
This is in Minnesota.
Collectively, they have 1.1 million dollars in federal student loan debt incurred During their studies there, part of Laureate University.
Now, they told MBC News that they believed that the recruiters misled them about the time it would take to finish their doctorate degrees, and that the schools said their student loan financed degrees would take only a handful of years to complete.
That would lead to future job opportunities.
I'll give you one story.
Woman's name is Jody McGrath.
She earned a master's degree in psychology.
She began searching for a doctoral program in health psychology.
She reached out to Walden.
She said she called them, was told it would be a two-year amount of coursework, and then 16 to 24 months for her dissertation.
Anyway, like other students that MBC spoke to.
They said that the high faculty turnover rates, disorganization, lack of oversight seemed to perpetuate their enrollment at Walden.
Now she was a good student.
You know, she called it a rigorous two years.
She had a 3.6 GPA, but it took her six years, four committee chairs to get her dissertation approved.
Her first chair told her after a full year of correspondence that she was doing the wrong study and that she would have to find a new chair.
And then McGrath said over the years she struggled to find new advisors and get feedback on her work.
There were times that I sent 25, 30 emails just praying that somebody would write me back.
I thought at some point, you know, at some level it was me, but you know, maybe I'm not working hard enough.
As crazy as that does sound.
Anyway, they kept she kept thinking things would get better, and it was a vicious cycle.
Now she owes over a hundred grand in debt.
She finally did get her PhD, but as she points out, this school failed her.
I was there emailing, I was turning in my work.
I have no problem paying for a four-year doctorate program, but I have an extra four years tacked onto my loan that was not my fault.
Well, Bill Clinton has his 17.6 million dollars.
It's unbelievable.
Well, Trump Universal Trump has a 98% success rate.
And people that wrote comments, even people that are now suing him.
They said they love it.
Now I got one other story to tell you here today.
And then it's and by the way, Hillary Clinton is accusing the AP of massive misrepresentation.
You know, the squealing over this AP report documenting what is absolutely the truth.
And they say the report showing this, you know, these people meeting and buying access to Hillary.
This is a woman who met over 17,000 world leaders.
Well, not why she was Secretary of State.
No.
At least 84 of the 154 people from the private sector that she met or had phone conversations with.
They were donors.
So she was doing all that work there at the same time.
Well, now we've got Uma Abedine.
She's up to her eyeballs in everything Hillary Clinton is involved in, Mrs. Anthony Wiener.
Anyway, uh, so for twelve years she was the editor at this radical Muslim journal, just before joining the Clinton State Department.
Now the Clinton camp, they're not denying she was an editor at this journal at all.
They're actually saying, well, Nick Merrill, who doesn't even know.
Well, my understanding is that her name was simply listed on the masthead in that period.
By the way, it's in a New York Post editorial.
She did not play a role in editing the publication.
His understanding, they point out, he doesn't even claim he heard from Uma Abedin.
Now the editorial goes on to say, even if you buy this excuse, Abedine's conduct still stinks.
She had to know how, you know, the Journal of Muslim Minority Affair, how awful they were.
Her mother was the editor in chief, her brother and sister were associate editors.
Now, this journal of Muslim miner minority affairs, which used Uma Abedin, Hillary's close friend and advisor and supporter and gatekeeper.
Well, anyway, they promote a pretty hate-filled extremist version of Islam, and they have run, quote, scholarly articles that blame the U.S. for 9-11.
And by the way, they even contradict Hillary's own positions on women's rights as being un-Islamic.
A thirty-one-page uh piece written by Uma Abedim's mom.
So she allowed her name to be associated with this.
Imagine if Donald Trump allowed his name to be associated with any radical extremist right wing group or racist group.
You know, that the media would never stop talking about it.
Or let's say Donald Trump's kids or one of his advisors.
Now, anyway, she has publicly been dishonest about her mom's radicalism.
My mother was traveling the world to international women's conferences talking about women's empowerment.
Well, sorry, but if you look at the 31-page piece that her mother wrote, it's an anti-feminist screed, arguing that female empowerment is not only on Islamic, but does more harm than benefit to the cause of women and their relations to men.
And then Uma was obviously key in getting her mother alongside Hillary Clinton in 2010 when they went to Saudi Arabia in a girls' school.
And Hillary said Americans must do a lot better job of getting past the stereotypes and mischaracterizations of Saudi women as being oppressed.
Well, 25 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation buys you an awful lot of lying from Hillary.
Because we all know women in Saudi Arabia Arabia treated horribly.
They're told how to dress.
They can't travel abroad on their own without a male.
They can't leave the house without a male relative.
They can't drive a car.
Women in Saudi Arabia.
And Hillary's saying we got gotta get rid of the stereotypes that and the mischaracterizations that Saudi women are oppressed.
Really?
Okay.
What about gays and lesbians?
They get killed in Saudi Arabia.
What about Christians and Jews?
You can't practice your faith in Saudi Arabia.
You can't build a Christian church or a Jewish temple.
So I don't, you know, no mention of any of this.
And Hillary stands next to a radical whose paper promotes the ridiculous conspiracy that the U.S. is to blame for 9-11.
Wow, stereotypes and mischaracterizations of Saudi women as being oppressed.
Well, that's pretty amazing to me.
Hillary Clinton supporting all of that.
It has been reported you've made five million.
Making speeches?
The president made more than a hundred million dollars.
Well, if if you you have no reason to remember, but we came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt.
You made three speeches for Goldman Sachs.
You were paid $675,000 for three speeches.
Was that a mistake?
I mean, was that a bad error in judgment?
Look, I made speeches to lots of groups.
I told them what I thought.
I answered questions.
But did you have to be paid $675,000?
Well, I don't know.
Um that's what they offered.
So you know, every every Secretary of State that I know has done that.
But that's easy once their office and not running for an office again.
Well, I didn't know.
To be honest, I wasn't I wasn't committed to running.
I'm really proud of the Clinton Foundation.
I am proud of the work that it does thanks to the Clinton Foundation.
Nine million more people in our world have access to HIV AIDS drugs because they negotiated contracts that made them affordable.
And there is absolutely no connection between anything that I did as Secretary of State and the Clinton Foundation.
I've heard you say that there's no evidence that any of the donors who have given to the foundation received anything in response from the State Department while Secretary Clinton was there.
Nobody even suggested it or talked about it or thought about it until the political season began, and somebody said, Well, what about this?
Now, some of the companies that have supported the foundation for years, many of them before she was ever Secretary of State.
She was a senator when I left office.
So they do this, they do philanthropy too.
No one has ever asked me for anything or any of that.
Can you really say that these companies, these wealthy individuals, these governments, none of them sought anything?
I mean, some of them did have business before the State Department.
I don't know.
You never know what people's motives are.
And with respect to uh the foundation, I am very proud of the work the foundation does.
I'm very proud of the hundreds of thousands of people who support the work of the foundation.
I don't think that I did anything that was against the interests of the United States.
Do you understand, though, that the perception itself is a problem?
No, you don't.
No.
Look, I don't want to get into the weeds here.
I'm not responsible for anybody else's perception.
I asked Kelly about this, and she said, you know, no one's ever tried to influence me by helping you.
No one has even suggested they have a shred of evidence for That effect.
I know how much money influences the political decision making.
All right, another day, another massive, huge issue involving the ethics of Hillary's and her campaign.
It's like an explosion a day that keeps coming and the bombshells keep coming and it keeps coming and it keeps coming back pay-to-play.
First we get emails that were requested years ago, nearly 15,000 of them.
What do we find out?
When she was Secretary of State, this relationship between the Clinton Foundation and her State Department, you have eighty-five of the one hundred and fifty-four non-government individuals, those people getting access to then Secretary of State Clinton.
Well, they're all donors to the Clinton Foundation or promised to back their programs.
Now combined those eighty-four of 85 of the 154 people shelled out as much as 156 million dollars.
Huge amounts of money.
You have Doug Banks, the guy intervening on behalf of uh a lot of people.
Well, he was the Clinton Foundation.
He was running the Clinton Foundation at the time.
So you've got a probe revealing now 156 million dollars to the foundation after meetings with the secretary.
In other words, pay to play.
Money buys you access.
Now, the person that has been in the forefront of all of this from the very beginning, he's the author of the best-selling book, and also was turned into a great movie.
Clinton Cash, Peter Schweitzer is with us, the untold story of why foreign governments and businesses help make Bill and Hillary rich.
How are you, sir?
Hey, I'm great, Sean.
How are you?
Uh I'm good.
Well, congratulations.
I mean, I think in many ways, because you were slandered and smeared and beaten up pretty bad by the liberal media, something we all experience as conservatives, but you got a pretty bad, but that didn't stop your book from becoming a number one bestseller, and number two, a great movie, and number three, uh, I think you can claim full vindication here.
She says she was broke when she got out, but that's not true.
How much money were that did they make since Bill Clinton got out of office by your estimate?
Uh well, the reporting is basically that uh more than two hundred million dollars uh they have made since two thousand one.
Um, and the bulk of that uh has not come from, you know, book contracts.
I mean, they were they were part of it, but the vast majority of them that were speaking fees, most of those overseas while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
Let's go through the direct connections here.
You have a famed economist who asked for her help as it relates to the Bangladesh government, and they pressured him to resign from a nonprofit bank.
You got a Wall Street big shot who sought Clinton's help with a visa problem.
You have Estee Lauder executives meeting with Clinton while her department work with the firm's corporate charity to counter gender-based violence in South Africa.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Tell us all the examples you can think of where you see a direct connection, money either going into the Clintons' hands, into their foundation, and the access and the benefit of that access that people got.
Well, I'm I mean, that's the important point, right?
Is that this was a vehicle for getting access to the Clintons.
Uh, you know, you played those uh those clips at the beginning of this segment, Sean, where we're all familiar with money in politics.
Hillary Clinton talked about that.
We're used to the fact that, you know, guys that work for Wall Street firms uh are gonna raise money for candidates they want access.
What's unique about the Clinton Foundation is foreign money.
A lot of it is foreign money.
And and in fact, the Clintons now claim they're not going to take any foreign money at the Clinton Foundation.
That would more than cut their budget in half.
So they are highly dependent on foreign money.
And so you have entities like, for example, Gilbert Shigori, the uh the uh uh Nigerian uh billionaire uh who was able to influence and get access to Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State in a way that he wouldn't by giving to a campaign because he can't as a foreign national.
It's illegal.
So Gilbert Shagory, who is of Lebanese background, lives in Nigeria, he's not a U.S. citizen, has given millions to the Clintons.
He got access, requested and got access to decision makers on U.S. policy towards the Middle East.
Why is Doug Band, Bill Clinton's right-hand man, recommending that State Department officials meet with a guy like this?
Well, in the emails, Doug Band says that this guy is, quote, very important to us.
Why is he important to him?
I can think of millions of reasons.
It's it's all about money and pay to play, and I can tell you, Sean, because I've seen them, there are more that are going to be coming out that continue to lay the pattern that foreigners got access to the Secretary of State because they were major Clinton Foundation donors.
So the bottom line here is is we now have direct evidence that people that donated to their foundation were given access, and in many instances, the access resulted in them making money because Hillary and Bill provided the access.
Let's go through some of the examples.
We know that call logs show that the slim fast billionaire, a guy by the name of Daniel Abraham, Clinton fundraising bundler, foundation donor, was listed in her date books for eight meetings, right?
What did he benefit financially?
Yeah, well, it's it's it's hard to know precisely.
I mean, what the Clinton people will say is, well, you know, there's no email that says they made money.
But the reason that a businessman like Daniel Abraham goes and meets with uh decision makers is he's got business or commercial interests that he's concerned about.
And I think as we start to unspool, these meetings are just now coming to light uh because of the great work that Citizens United and Judicial Watch have done in litigating for them.
So I think as we unspool them, we are going to see benefit and favors that came to these individuals.
Um but you know, they have changed their story, Sean.
Their first the first thing they said was there was no ingr intermingling of the Clinton Foundation with the State Department.
Uh that was their line of defense when these issues were first raised in Clinton Cash and when I was on your show.
Now they've switched and said, well, you know, there may have been requests, but there's no evidence that favors were granted.
Favors were granted, and I think in the weeks ahead we are going to see further evidence of that as this information continues to roll out.
So you got another case where Clinton was the host of a uh September 2009 breakfast meeting with the New York Stock Exchange that listed Blackstone Group chairman Steven Schwartzman as a major foundation donor.
He was one of the attendees a day after the breakfast.
According to Clinton emails, the State Department was working on a visa, a special request from him.
And then Blackstone donated between two hundred and fifty to five hundred thousand dollars to the Clinton Foundation and eight Blackstone executives.
They also gave between three seventy-five and eight hundred thousand dollars, and a Blackstone's charitable arm, they pledged millions of dollars in commitments to three Clinton Global Initiative projects.
I mean, i if that does not say, okay, do this for me, one hand washes the other, what's known as a quid pro quo, pay-to-play, buying access, and I think you can even use the term bribery.
I don't know what is.
I mean, because you are the bottom line.
If she meets with 154 individuals and eighty-five of them are giving her money to her foundation, and then they're benefiting financially.
What about the guy that got the the forestry rights in Central America?
That's right.
That's exactly right.
Um the pattern here is overwhelming.
And and here's what people have to recognize is if you look at political corruption cases in the United States today.
You've got a former governor of Alabama, uh Siegelman, who is in jail in his particular case.
He was charged and convicted on corruption.
In that particular case, there was not even money that was going into his pocket.
Um he did favors for somebody who was donating to an initiative that he supported.
A jury convicted him and sent him to jail.
You have Senator Menendez of New Jersey.
In the case of the Clintons, the evidence is absolutely so clear, and they're trying to argue this absurd standard, Sean, that you have to have an email that shows that the transaction went down.
the transaction did go down and it's clear by the pattern of behavior favors were done money flowed that's why i think there's no alternative here other than an independent counsel there needs to be an independent investigation doj is not going to do this for highly politicized Well, how did they find the nearly 15,000 emails that had been requested years ago all of a sudden?
I mean, that is another, you know, absurdity to me.
It's sort of like the the Rose Law firm billing records that had been requested years ago, they finally showed up.
We found them in a box somewhere.
Yeah.
And that never made sense either.
I mean, it just been.
A lot of the emails that are coming out from Judicial Watch and Citizens United were emails that were not turned over.
They include Hillary Clinton in some cases.
They were not turned over when Hillary Clinton signed an affidavit with the State Department saying she had turned over all her business related emails.
Yeah.
Then you go other examples.
For example, Clinton met in June of 2011 with Nancy Mahan, or Mahon, whatever her name is from the MACAIDS at the charitable arm of of Mac uh Mac Cosmetics, which is owned by Estee Lauder.
The meeting occurred before an announcement about a State Department partnership to raise money to finance AIDS education and prevention.
The public-private partnership was formed literally to fight gender-based violence in South Africa.
Now the MACAIDS Foundation ended up donating between five and ten million dollars to the Clinton Foundation, and Estee Lauder's executive Fabrizio Frida was also met with Clinton at the same Wall Street event attended by Schwartzmann later that month, Frida was on a list of attendees for a meeting between Clinton and a U.S. China trade group, and Estee Lauders given between $100 and $250,000 to the Foundation.
Now that's directly appealing for access that's going to benefit them financially.
No, that's that's right, Sean.
I mean, uh companies like Estee Lauder have all kinds of issues relating to selling their products, market access in China, and to be able to be on a State Department uh visit that deals with that issue is enormously beneficial to a company like that.
And people know it.
And this is why, you know, it's not just a function, um, Sean, of explicit favors being done.
We see those favors being done.
Giving somebody access, a seat at the table, is enormously valuable for these companies.
And that calculation based on who's putting money in the back.
Yeah, because then you have contact.
I understand.
And that in and of itself has value to them, and they're looking out for their own interests.
What do you make of Uma Abdeen's role in all of this?
And also Paul Sperry's piece over the weekend in the New York Post that she served twelve years as an editor of a radical Muslim journal until just before joining the State Department with Hillary.
They're not denying it, they're just saying, oh, her name was just listed as masthead in that period.
She didn't play a role in editing the publication.
Because, all right, even if you excuse the mistake, it shows just how radical her mother is.
And that's somewhat troubling.
Well, I Sean, I think Uma Abedin is central uh to this.
Number one, she is uh, you know, one of the most trusted aides for Hillary Clinton.
Number two, she was a person who traveled with her everywhere.
So she is there at any point in time that somebody needs favor and an access.
And a lot of the emails indicate that that Doug Ban's go-to person is Uma Abidin.
And finally, let's remember Uma Abidin, when she's at the State Department, is also on the payroll of the Clinton Foundation and of Taneo, which is this magazine that has her name on it that her mother is involved in, and she denied publicly.
I mean, they have articles blaming the U.S. for 9-11, denouncing Hillary's own positions on women's rights as un-Islamic.
The 31-page writings of her mother is all over this.
She's listed as an editor of this.
It's like we have an extremist that could be the literally the next chief of staff, and that frighten me after reading what's the one.
But Sean, it should.
I mean, we can count on one thing.
If Hillary Clinton is elected to the White House, if anything, the Clintons are loyal to their subordinates.
And Uma Abedin will play a central role in decision making and personnel in a Hillary Clinton White House if it comes to that.
All right, uh Peter Schweitzer, if you haven't read the book, way ahead of the curve, he's been telling us all about these scandals way before they happened, and the media tried to dismiss them, but of course they end up being true, every one of them.
So much going on.
Part two tonight.
Town hall.
Well, this got out of control last night.
Did you see?
I I you know, I'm trying to remember what happened when and where, Linda, um, because we did two shows last night, and I know we had all these victims.
I I literally was biting the inside of my cheek, so I didn't cry on television.
It was so hard to sit there with these mothers that lost their precious children because of illegal immigrants, and then to discover in in most of these cases that these illegal immigrants have been arrested before and set free by our government that doesn't enforce our laws.
You know, it's it's it's beyond frustrating.
I was I was glad to do it because nobody else in the media is gonna ever gonna tell that story.
Just like nobody in the media in 2007 and 2008 was willing to tell you the story about how radical Obama was.
Nobody's willing to get into the details in the weeds like we just did with Peter Schweitzer to tell you the level of of conflict of interest and bribery and pay to play that Hillary Clinton is involved in.
And it is it's like on a daily basis, and still you got forty-seven percent of Americans.
Yeah, I like Hillary.
It's it's beyond frustrating.
But uh, did you see any of the interruptions last night that we had on the show last Linda when you were watching because I don't know what was in work?
What's that?
The BLM protesters.
Oh, yeah.
When they were walking out, I said, by the way, all lives matter.
Did that make it?
Yeah, it did.
It's very upsetting.
I mean, you know, that's a group, you know, begging for respect and yet cheering on only one race and disrespecting these people who lost, you know, their their children.
Yeah, and that's what the show was about.
There was another moment.
This was incredible.
This woman, I don't know who she was.
So one woman gets up and she's like holding a doll.
I have no idea.
I'm like, is it a voodoo doll?
Is it a Barbie doll?
I have no idea what this doll is.
And she stands up, she interrupts.
The crowd was great, by the way.
They immediately would start chanting USA, USA or Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
So it was, you know, we're sitting there laughing.
I mean, this is it didn't bother us in the least.
We, you know, we didn't edit it out.
But a woman who is sitting like three rows away on a in a different aisle gets up, grabs her by the back of her shirt, and literally walked her out.
And it wasn't even a police officer.
It was hilarious.
I don't know if it's a good one.
I love that woman.
That woman is a woman after my own home.
That woman was a rock star.
It was amazing.
Uh, I gotta go back and look at it.
Was she screaming first of all as she did it?
Well, no, it wasn't you.
If it was first of all, first of all, that would have been you, but my kind of woman.
It was it was a really great show.
It was when I bring you on the road, I actually have to give you instructions.
No hitting, no cursing, no F bombs, no B bombs, no S bombs.
And then I kind of run through the rest of the alphabet.
And when we meet people, I'm like, all right, now you can't you can't say this because people don't understand.
That's just you know, you were raised in the heart of Philly and not the best neighborhood, and we make allowances for you.
Thank you, Sean.
I really appreciate that.
Although most people on the road encourage that behavior.
Yeah, that's probably true.
Oh, you mean they call No, what you're saying is you're not taking any responsibility for your actions.
Listen, if you're blaming the city, they would be authentic, Linda.
What can I do but give it to them?
No, you blame people that walk slow in New York and take pictures.
In other words, they're called tourists with shorts on and and they're staring up at the tall buildings, and it drives you nuts.
Will you will you freaking move?
Come on.
Let's go.
No, I have an issue with people who do what I call the stop and shop, which means you stop in the center of a street, you do not look around you, and you can't do that in New York because the sidewalks are as busy as the streets.
You can't do that because people like you get pissed off.
Step to the side, please.
Yeah, by the way, she does not use the friendly language that I would use.
All right.
Uh, let's get to our phones.
Debbie is in New York listening to the all-new AM 710, the voice of New York.
How are you?
Welcome to the Sean Hannity show.
Hi, Sean.
What's going on?
The show last night was wonderful.
And I have to thank you for doing things like that.
If you weren't doing this kind of stuff, we wouldn't know how often this happened, and that these people had already been arrested and let go into the communities again.
Listen, I'm gonna tell you something.
I I I wish I could say, and I said this in my in the opening of the show last night.
We laid out every fact, every statistic, every number.
We had Rick Perry on.
He'll be on tonight with us.
When I sat through the security briefing with Governor Perry from 2008 to 2014, there were 642,000 Texans alone that were victims of crimes by illegal immigrants.
Nobody else will tell that story.
And you know, I'm glad to do it.
I mean, but I would rather just solve the problem.
You know, like for example, the problem is under the current law, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, they are now free because they're not enforcing the laws of this country to release as they have done, and you met family members last night that lost loved ones.
They're free to release dangerous criminals into the in the cities and towns in American streets all across this country while they await deportation hearings.
Now, none of these people ever show up.
Now, the Department of Homeland Security does have the discretion to impose a bail bond requirement and or mandate for continued detention until those proceedings are held.
Well, under President Obama, the department has opted to release thousands of these criminal illegal immigrants right onto America's streets.
Many have whom, and well, I know there's one number, 121 of whom have gone on to commit murders that we know of.
That's only the ones we know of.
So they have the ability to detain these people, but they don't.
They don't enforce the law.
I kept asking Trump, well, what are you gonna do?
He said, I'm going to enforce the law.
These are the laws of the land.
That's you know, if Republicans want to understand why 65% of the electorate vi feels that they are betrayed, well, just look at 2014.
You don't need to go back that far.
And in 2014, they ran, give us the Senate, and we'll stop illegal, unconstitutional, executive amnesty.
They didn't do it.
And people literally are dying as a result.
And I will predict to you, and this goes to all of you never Trumpers.
I keep saying you go against Trump.
Trump doesn't get 90% of the Republican base.
You own it.
That's right.
Politicians that promised presidential candidates, they promised, Washington Republicans, the promised.
Oh, we'll support the nominee.
They don't win.
And those that are, you know, National Review, Wall Street Journal, Hillary picked Supreme Court nominees, and you've done everything you can do to sabotage Donald Trump's chances of victory.
You own Hillary's Supreme Court nominees.
You own her refugees and whatever crimes they commit.
You own her illegal immigrants and whatever crimes they commit.
You own the economy, you own the debt, you own the deficit, you own it.
Governors of big states that aren't supporting Donald Trump over Hillary.
Well, that's half a vote for Hillary.
You own that too, and I'm gonna hold all of you accountable.
I blame them.
Then they're gonna say, Hannity, you're responsible for Trump.
I'm not responsible for Trump.
You know who's responsible for Trump?
Republicans created the atmosphere into which an outsider can win.
And that's why Trump, and that's why Ted Cruz, the two outsiders did the best.
And then Trump won because the voters put him over the top at record numbers.
So, you know, you can say Hannity did it, but I gave access to everybody.
And then I let the voters decide.
And I'll take Trump's agenda over Hillary's corrupt, immoral, leftist status, Marxist socialist viewpoint any day.
I'll take Trump's Supreme Court nominees over hers any day.
I will enthusiastically pull the lever for Trump.
And I'm telling all of you, you national review types, you Brett Stevens Wall Street Journal types, you Jonah Goldberg types, you Bill Crystal types, you Lindsey Grams and Jeb Bush types.
I you know, with all due respect, you guys made a promise.
And all of you guys when Hillary, if she wins, appoints a Supreme Court justice that impacts this country so badly for generations, you own it.
You bought it, you own it, you're partly responsible for it.
And don't come crying to me when the country disintegrates, which it's a in the process of doing now.
And the process is in decline.
And the country's in decline.
And I am saying there is on every issue a distinct choice to make here.
And these people are a bunch of spoiled brat, crybaby, insecure, you know, t pick up my toys, go home, sore losers.
It's unbelievable to me.
Can't believe the level of immaturity and the circular firing squad they have now created for the Republicans.
Tracy is in Texas.
Tracy, hi, how are you?
You're on the Sean Hannity show.
Uh hey, Sean, I I just, you know, look, I've been sitting back.
Now I'm not gonna lie, I I'm not one hundred percent for Trump.
But Trump did initially win me over when he was talking about building the wall and trade.
I mean, he did hit on a lot of good points.
My question though now is, and I spoke to you last week about it.
It feels like he's kind of I don't want to try to make waves, but it feels like he's not being truthful to your own party.
I mean, when he said the wall and that was one thing, now he's softening his stance on wall.
This makes them wavering.
So what what do you feel about this wavering?
Because I myself I'm looking at it, and it feels like I know it's gotta be Luann.
I think his uh his new advisors, she's softening them up.
But do you think he can leave your party feeling betrayed?
I mean, what do you feel in this issue?
Listen, I think, you know, you're raising a lot of points here.
I think that uh what what Donald Trump kept saying when I kept asking him, and uh watch tonight because the opening segment of tonight's show, he does his own polling of the audience, and it's pretty amazing moment, I think.
And and there's a little bit of disagreement, but not a lot of disagreement.
You know, the way you described it to me, and I won't give it all away because I'd I'd rather you watch the show and hear it for yourself, interpret it the way you want to interpret it.
But what I heard him say was this first of all, day one criminal aliens, they're all out.
We're gonna send them back.
And then we're gonna plug up the hole of the boat, which is leaking water, and that is we're gonna stop illegal immigration, a thousand miles offense.
He thinks he can build it in a short period of time.
Then he's gonna work on, you know, again, he went through all of this last night, those that overstay their visas and how we track them better and e-verify and all and just a lot of different things that's all part of the the mix here.
Um, as it relates to the others, uh, he was very clear, no citizenship, no path to citizenship.
And what I think he's addressing is what so many on the left have uh they've tried to sort of create this narrative.
Oh, he's gonna line up poor families that own their homes and and they're gonna be walking across the border, and there's gonna be miles and miles and miles of people walking across the border and and they're gonna be crying because they're forced out of America where they've lun lived for twenty years, and well, that's the way the media wants to portray it, but that's not he's saying that's not exactly what we're doing.
So watch it tonight and then call me back tomorrow and see if you if you if you understand a little bit better.
Let me answer this though before you go.
Was it his tactic to go so far to the right?
And now this is his, I guess, late late evening push to push all the way to the other side.
I mean, you know, he's appealing to black.
He tried I'm he's not I'm I'm not gonna lie, he's not appealing to the black, but he he's attempting to reach out to blacks.
That's probably a better way of the.
Can I ask you a question?
One of the things you know, but look at has the black community is the black community better off or worse off under Barack Obama.
But he doesn't the way I'm I hate to say it, uh maybe if the a teleport.
But you need before we go any further, you really need to answer this question.
This is an important question.
Is black America better off under the policies eight years of Barack Obama?
Are you are you asking me this question?
That's a question for you, yes, sir.
Yes.
Yes, we are.
You uh all right.
Now give me the hang on, hang on.
Now let me No, no, no, no.
Give me a v any specific measurement that proves your point, because I have specific measurements that proves you're wrong.
I understand it.
Let me first go very much.
No, no, no.
No first go, no distraction.
No, focus with me here.
You gotta stay on track with me.
You gotta every time I ask you a question, you want to go off in another direction.
Focus on my question.
You say black Americans are better off under Obama.
I'm asking you to back up that claim with any type of data you've got that confirms what you're saying is true.
Yes.
First, let me as a black man say what I want and don't corral me to a corner.
As a black man, I'm not corralling you into a corner.
You see, the reason it the reason you're saying I'm corraling you into a corner, because you can't answer that question.
I bet you listen, I'll tell you what, I'll give a thousand dollars right now to the charity of your choice if you tell me how one statistics where black Americans are better off statistically, better off under Barack Obama's policies.
Tell me where.
I'm listening.
Wait, can we play the Jeopardy music?
Let's play it again.
Ready?
I'll give hang on, hang on.
Ready, set, ready, set, go.
Give me that.
Give me that.
Watching a black family such as his a Christian man the way he's moving, he's a black man and a black kid, and I have a black daughter to look up to.
And that is one of the first things.
Two, he gave his health care, which I've purchased, which I went through Edna, I'm at the Molina, as well as Blue Cross Lucio.
I watched how he trying to move for for fair, hey, uh, Lily Ledbetter act.
I watched as he stayed GM.
I watched as he went after Osama bin Laden.
We may not agree as to the success of a lot of these things, but I watched for the first time in my life a black man achieved the level of being just being in the role and being a big thing.
Listen, I asked, but you're not answering my you see the bottom line is this, and I gave you a chance to speak now.
Now now I'm gonna pin you down on my question.
I asked you, as a community, is the black community overall better having had Barack Obama as president for the last eight years.
I asked you to cite me one specific example statistic where black Americans are better off because he has been their president, and you can't do it.
And I said I'll give a thousand dollars to the charity of your choice.
Well, that's uh I'm talking about the black community because I have numbers that I can share.
I have numbers that I can share with you to prove my point.
Are you ready to listen?
Okay, yes, there's been hang on.
There are twelve mil there there are twelve million more Americans now that are on food stamps, a fifty-eight percent increase of black Americans on food stamps, a twenty percent increase of black Americans out of the labor force since he's become president.
And then I can add to that the lowest labor participation rate in the in the country since the 70s, the black community has been disproportionately impacted more than most other communities in this country or demographics in this country.
Home ownership rate is at a 51-year low, and the same thing holds there, and that is that disproportionately more black Americans have been negatively impacted because of the bad economy.
You talk about the stock market, you know if you are in poverty and you're on food stamps, we have what uh eight million more Americans in poverty, twelve million more on food stamps, disproportionately black Americans are impacted by it.
They're not worried about the stock market.
See, but you cannot answer this question.
And this is this is frustrating to me because you just send out these platitudes.
Well, they got Osama Bin Laden.
I mean, all right, I I gave him credit for that.
He he did the intelligence community did their job.
He had the courage to say, okay, do the mission.
All right, I give him credit.
But Iraq has been surrendered down to ISIS, Syria's been surrendered, Afghanistan's a mess, Libya's a mess.
Uh everything he supported Mohammed Morsi, it's insane.
It has been reported you've made five million making speeches.
The president's made more than a hundred million dollars.
Well, if if you you have no reason to remember, but we came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt.
You made three speeches for Goldman Sachs.
You were paid six hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars for three speeches.
Was that a mistake?
I mean, was that a bad error in judgment?
Look, I made speeches to lots of groups.
I told them what I thought.
I answered questions.
But did you have to be paid $675,000?
Well, I don't know.
Um that's what they offered.
So you know, every every Secretary of State that I know has done that.
But that's easy once their office and not running for an office again.
Well, I didn't know.
To be honest, I wasn't, I wasn't committed to running.
I'm really proud of the Clinton Foundation.
I am proud of the work that it does thanks to the Clinton Foundation.
Nine million more people in our world have access to HIV AIDS drugs because they negotiated contracts that made them affordable.
And there is absolutely no connection between anything that I did as Secretary of State and the Clinton Foundation.
I've heard you say that there's no evidence that any of the donors who have given to the foundation received anything in response from the State Department while Secretary Clinton was there.
Nobody even suggested it or talked about it or thought about it until the political season began, and somebody said, Well, what about this?
Now some of the companies that have supported the foundation for years, many of them before she was ever Secretary of State.
She was a senator when I left office, so uh they do this.
They do philanthropy too.
No one has ever asked me for anything or any of that.
Can you really say that these companies, these wealthy individuals, these governments, none of them sought anything?
I mean, some of them did have business before the State Department.
I don't know.
You never know what people's motives are.
And with respect to uh the foundation, I am very proud of the work the foundation does.
I'm very proud of the hundreds of thousands of people who support the work of the foundation.
I don't think that I did anything that was against the interests of the United States.
Do you understand though that the perception itself is a problem?
No, you don't.
No.
Look, I don't want to get into the weeds here.
I'm not responsible for anybody else's perception.
I asked Kelly about this, and she said, you know, no one's ever tried to influence me by helping you.
No one has even suggested they have a shred of evidence for that effect.
I know how much money influences the political decision making.
No issue.
Better illustrates how corrupt my opponent is than her pay-for-play scandals as Secretary of State.
As the evidence has become public over the last several months, I've become increasingly shocked by the vast scope of Hillary Clinton's criminality.
Her actions, corrupted and disgraced, one of the most important departments of government, indeed, one of only four established by the United States Constitution itself.
The amounts involved, the favors done, and the significant number of times it was done, require an expedited investigation by a special prosecutor.
Some former prosecutors have even suggested that the coordination between the pay-for-play State Department and the Clinton Foundation constitute a clear example of RICO racketeering influence, corrupt organization enterprise.
The Justice Department is required to appoint an independent special prosecutor because it has proven itself to be really sadly a political arm of the White House.
All right, back to our top story of the day.
News Roundup Information Overload Hour here on the Sean Hannity Show.
We'll get to your calls this hour.
800-941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Don't forget Donald Trump.
It's part two of our town hall.
It was a rowdy and raucous town hall last night at uh in Austin, a lot of fun.
But anyway, back to the top story.
85 of the 154 non-government individuals who had access to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in fact, donated to the Clinton Foundation or promised to back their programs.
And the donors shall shelled out as much as 156 million.
And many of them enriched themselves because of this relationship in many, many ways.
That's called pay to play.
That's called quid pro quo.
That's called uh uneth in any sense unethical.
No, she's talking about, well, if I am elected president, I'll have oh we'll shut down the foreign contribution to the Clinton Foundation.
I'm like, well, you said you were going to do that with as Secretary of State.
Then on top of that, Hillary Clinton has a Uma Abedin problem, as pointed out by Paul Sperry, and that is that she served twelve years as an editor for a radical Muslim journal, and just up until the point she joined the Clinton State Department.
Now they're not even denying it at the Clinton campaign.
They're just saying, well, my understanding is her name was simply just listed on the masthead at in that time period.
She did not play a role in editing the publication.
Really?
His understanding?
Is that even a denial?
He doesn't even claim to have heard from Uma himself herself on this.
Now, if you buy that flimsy excuse that doesn't take away from what she put her name to, you know, imagine any conservative, you know, puts their name to any radical publication, maybe a racist publication or anti-Semitic publication, whatever it happened to be.
And you just say, well, I just they just added my name for twelve years to the masthead, and I had nothing to do with it, as far as I know.
Anyway, this particular journal of Muslim minority affairs, her mother was the editor in chief.
Her brother and sister are also associate editors, like she was mentioned on quote masthead.
Anyway, it promotes a pretty hate-filled extremist version of Islam, and it has run scholarly articles blaming the U.S. for 9-11, scholarly my fat my foot, but denouncing Hillary's own positions on women's rights as un-Islamic, you know, in a particular letter that it relates to the mother.
Anyway, Uma at a minimum allowed her name to be used with this radical publication, associates with radicals even within her own family, and she's been publicly dishonest about her mom's radicalism.
She once said, "Well, my mother was traveling around the world to these international women's conferences talking about women's empowerment." And it was just normal.
Women's empowerment and that 31-page anti-feminist screed, Uma Abedin's mother argues that female empowerment is not only un-Islamic, but it does more harm than benefit the cause of women and their relations with men.
And then Huma was plainly key to having her mom speak alongside with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she visited a girls' school in Saudi Arabia.
And that's where Hillary said Americans must do a better job of getting past quote the stereotypes and mischaracterizations of Saudi women as oppressed.
When women can't drive, when women are told how to dress.
Women can't travel without a male guardian.
They can't go to school or or work without their permission.
I mean, up until this year, they couldn't even vote for crying out loud.
Really?
That's women's rights?
And women, of course, need four male eyewitnesses to prove rape.
It's unbelievable.
Gays and lesbians are killed in Saudi Arabia.
There's Hillary supporting the whole thing and taking up to $25 million for the Clinton Foundation and another 10 million for the Clinton Library.
Dan Bangino's with us.
Now I have endorsed him.
He is running for the U.S. open house seat in District 19, that's Southwest Florida, that's Fort Myers and Naples, and I have a condo down in Naples, and it's a place I'd love to live one day, and I would love to have longtime friend be my congressman.
He's also a former Secret Service agent.
He wrote the book, The Fight for a Secret Service Agent, the accounts of uh all the security failings in the political machine and life inside the bubble.
And uh Mr. Bangino, how are you, sir?
Hey, doing great, Sean.
Thanks for having me, man.
Appreciate it.
Uh all right.
First thing, what do you think about Huma's Abedine?
Now, in a Hillary administration, I assume she would have a pretty high position, maybe even maybe even, you know, a top position, maybe chief of staff, who knows?
What do you think about this background and this well, they only use my name as masthead, and by the way, my mother wrote these things about women, and I put my mother alongside Hillary Clinton in Saudi Arabia and to talk about how great women are being treated.
What do you think about all this?
You know what's really shocking about Huma Sean that all of this information has been out there for eons.
None of this is a mystery.
The guys like you and me who've been following this for a long time.
The problem in the country, though, it's not so much Huma.
You know, Huma is a problem in and of herself.
It's that the media will never cover this story like they were would if it was a Republican.
You know, as I was listening to you set up the segment, I was thinking, Do you remember Steve Scalise?
Uh he went to that meeting and it was some kind of like uh a white supremacy thing.
He just happened to be in a hotel and speak at this thing, and it would that was it.
It was a media fire storm.
This guy needed to be hung in effigy, and that meanwhile, no one could even prove that he even knew what was going on down there.
All they proved is that he talked Mrs. Clinton hired Uma Abedin, and she still works there.
All of these comments are out there about the treatment of women in Saudi uh countries, their allegiances to the Muslim Brotherhood and all this other stuff.
And nobody seems to care in the media, Sean.
They don't even think it's a big deal.
Well, and the most of the media is not even covering it.
They're too busy covering Donald Trump and trying to do Hillary's work as an extension of the campaign.
Look, I know that these primaries are rough and tumble, and I know you've been going through a lot down in Southwest Florida, and apparently you made a mistake, and I guess you talked to this reporter, Mark Caputo, and what happened.
Yeah, this guy's kind of a loser.
He's not kind of a loser, he is a loser.
He's one of these snakes.
The long and short of it is without you know, I don't have enough time to tell you how it the whole thing started.
But the media, the way they work is they set up a false narrative, as I'm sure you're familiar with.
And then they all protect the crown.
So they have this narrative going down here that they didn't have any donors in the district, which is simply not true.
It's factually incorrect.
And one of the local media reporters tweeted that out.
So then instead of just correcting their story, which Sean was a thousand percent incorrect.
They just couldn't read an FEC report, they were that incompetent, which shows your donors.
Instead of correcting it, they they demanded that we produce sensitive donor information for people who didn't want to disclose it, which no campaign would ever do.
In other words, we lied, and in order to correct the lie, you need to give us his data.
So this snake, Caputo, just jumps in out of nowhere because he used to work at the paper in question, the local paper, and he tries to like protect the crown and gets on the phone, you know, he starts mouthing off, he records the call with zero consent, by the way, to do it, which in Florida is not legal, it's two party consent state.
And he does what all media people do.
He's a snake, and he's a big deal.
If you don't have if you don't have consent, he can be brought up by this.
So that's the way they're I think this is important.
If it's a two-party record state, New York, I believe, is one.
If you don't give your consent and he records you, that is a crime.
Are you gonna report him?
Yeah, we're working on that right now.
He uh I am not even remotely dumb.
Sean, I know you experienced this in the media, right?
This is how it works.
They all pile on and they wait for you to cry mercy, and then they all pat each other on the back.
Like there's some clown at the post, uh, Weigel, who's always been a clown.
I never gave this guy the time of day.
And now he's trying to protect his buddy too, you know, with another nonsense piece.
This is what they do, and they wait for you to cry mercy.
And then when they run into a guy like me who fights back, they don't know what to do.
I mean, you have to see what they're talking about there.
They're desperate to defend their own credibility because they can't.
Now people are starting to pile on them.
Like, hey, guys, was this a serious interview?
I mean, again, the interview didn't go great, Sean.
I'm not crazy about dropping F-bombs on the guy at the end.
I have two daughters.
But if this guy's waiting for an example, I actually think that a politician that just lets it rip because these people are awful.
I mean, we had this idiot over at the New York Times this week.
I've just been so busy I haven't had time to address it.
And you know, I spend an hour on the phone with this guy, and he publishes next to nothing about what I actually said to him.
For example, he went into this long narrative how people are telling him that I'm giving advice to Donald Trump and that Donald Trump is listening and Donald Trump thinks that I'm people are in the campaign, they think that I want a position in a Trump administration.
I'm like, well, if I wanted a position, I probably wouldn't have signed five-year deals with radio and TV recently.
And number two, I give advice to everybody.
I never stop giving advice.
And by the way, Donald Trump does his own man, he does what he wants.
I mean, the idea that anybody's wanted to get a hold of you business wise.
I know you're happy where you are, so I know that's kind of the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
But keep in mind, this Caputo guy, but I I mentioned you on the call.
I'm like, didn't Hannity embarrass you?
This is the same guy who tweeted to you a f a challenge to get into the octagon or something.
I'm laugh.
I'm like, seriously?
Your primary is Tuesday, and this is Connie Max Hall district, and I just happen to have a great interest in it.
I happen to love the people of Southwest Florida.
You have many midwesterners there.
By the way, you know, seventy percent of Southwest Florida are people that moved there from like Wisconsin and Ohio and all other parts of the country.
And so they're wonderful people there, and it's a great community, and I think what really people should be focused on are the issues.
And the bottom line is I think you and I are pretty much in agreement that the country's in a rapid decline.
And what are the positions you'd think you'd fight for if you get this position and get the seat, which I would love to see you get?
You know, what are the things that are most important and the top of your agenda?
Well, the immigration issue is huge down here.
And if there's one uh there's say a Trump effect in the campaign, he's definitely highlighted this issue as being really important.
And down here it's a huge deal, Sean.
People are fed up.
You know, I did tell a local reporter down here, and I meant it.
Barack Obama changed everything with immigration.
His amnesty program, DAPA and DACA, there were a lot of people who were more sympathetic to an immigration policy years ago that they're just not anymore because they're tired of the country being abused.
They're tired of people coming here not following the rule.
And so my wife's illegal immigrants.
I'm not going to be lectured by anyone on the immigration process.
But the immigration issue down here is huge, and my opponents completely on the other side.
I mean, if you can't do basic things, Sean, like follow the law, then what is any of this represent?
What is it for if you know even kids' clubs have rules like club rules on the wall?
You know, America's club rules are going to come into the country.
You have to do it legally.
Like none of this is mysterious.
It's only mysterious to liberals and Democrats who are looking for vote.
They don't care about immigrants.
They care about vote that's the period.
Stop.
That's all they care about.
Well, you've d you've done a great service to your country over these many, many years.
You're great at exposing a lot of our security flaws in the country.
I think it'd be a great addition of Congress.
I know it's an uphill battle for everybody in these primaries because it's kind of an insider's game, and you're not an insider.
And uh the vote takes place on Tuesday.
We have a big audience down at Fox uh Fox News Radio 925, and wonderful people there and in Fort Myers and in Naples.
So uh we're pulling for you on Tuesday, and we wish you the best of luck.
Hey, thanks, Sean.
They love you down here at Fox News Radio, by the way.
I talked to them a lot.
They're great people, wonderful people.
Thanks a lot.
Really great radio station.
All right, eight hundred nine four one Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Town hall, Austin, Texas, topic immigration.
With Donald Trump with Rick Perry, Governor Perry.
I sat through that briefing with Perry.
It blew my mind at the time.
In a seven-year period of time, six hundred and forty-two thousand crimes committed against Texans alone by illegal immigrants.
We show that tonight as well.
Also, Rudy Giuliani and Senator Jeff Sessions are with him, so and as well as Donald Trump, that's tonight, 10 Eastern.
Hope you'll join us for that.
All right, as promised, uh, let's get to our busy telephones.
Uh Cindy is in Michigan.
Cindy, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Hey, Sean.
Um, I heard at the beginning of your show last night how you outlined what the costs and the stance to the taxpayers are for the services to those that are here illegally, the housing, the food stamps, penal system, legal issue, education, medical expenses, and god knows what else they get.
And then you have the victims of violence who suffered terrible tragedy at their hands of those who are here illegally.
And not only do the people endure the pain of the loss of a loved one, they also have to pay for those services that are automatically provided to those are who are here illegally.
It was so important for you, someone to finally review and post the cost to the citizens.
You know, one of the things, and I really appreciate your kind words.
I wrote that myself.
Um, and I put it in teleprompter because I didn't want to forget anything.
And the reason I did is because I know nobody has ever put all of that together for their audience.
And I you're never gonna see a show like we're doing tonight, like we did last night on CBS, ABC, MBC, CNN, the Clinton News Network, or MSNBC for sure.
You're just never gonna see it.
This campaign, I know the media wants to talk about the superfluous, the inane, the insignificant.
You know, they want to follow Hillary's narrative.
They wanna they want to talk about everything but Benghazi and Mohammed Morse and and Hillary's disastrous policies with Iran or absolute disaster of a policy with reac uh with Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan and Vladimir Putin, they just they want to talk about Donald Trump's tone.
And you know what?
Donald Trump had the courage to say something that is just absolutely a fact.
The impact of illegal immigration on this country is enormous.
And it is costing us our criminal justice system, our educational system, our health care system, it is hurting us crime-wise.
Look, I I have the numbers here in front of me that I used last night.
You got 113 billion dollars per year spent on illegal immigration.
States are shelling out eighty-four billion a year, 49 billion for education, 10.8 billion on medical care, 9.6 billion on general expenses, 8.7 billion on justice expenditures, 5.3 billion on welfare related costs.
You know, illegal immigrants make up 5.1% of the labor force.
Well we've got 95 million Americans out of work.
Over 8 million illegals working in the country right now.
You know, if you look at you know the if you look at the percentages of crimes and you break down the numbers, the federal sentence has given out last year, well, 18% of all drug trafficking convictions or sentences handed out last year were to illegal immigrants.
Thirty percent of federal sentences for kidnapping and hostage taking went to illegal immigrants.
Seventy-five percent of drug possession federal sentences handed out went to illegal immigrants.
Ten percent of money laundering 21% of national defense sentences, 5% of murder sentences.
You know, it is having an enormous impact and we have 300 sanctuary cities in America which protect and shelter people.
So I think the issue's huge add to that the refugee issue and and Hillary wanting to increase refugees that we know we can't properly vet at a rate of five hundred and fifty percent.
Well I think they're gambling with the lives of the American people by not solving the problem.
I think it's that big an issue.
Now if the media's going to ignore substance I'll do their job.
I appreciate the opening and the opportunity but I don't think you're going to see CNN ever do anything like that.
So you know I think hopefully those numbers will keep getting out there repeatedly over over and over again till people see and hear the impact of what it is to us.
And while I sympathize with those who live in countries other than the USA it's time we take care of our first Sean you know better than anyone how our veterans suffer our young children in in the inner cities of Chicago the violence and that it's time to start focusing on our own first and into those who have sacrificed to make our life safe and our lives better.
Mr. Trump build the wall and vet those who are coming into our country.
Sean, thank you for the job that you do.
And thank you.
I appreciate it.
800-941-SEAN, Richmond, Virginia.
Della is next on the Sean Hannity Show.
How How are you Della?
Hi Sean it seems terrible the tragedy that's happened in Louisiana and I'm glad that Obama has gone there and said that well he did say that the government can't do everything and that people need to pitch in and as usual Americans of all religions and faiths get together, raise money, take food, load up buses, and go and help those that are affected by these things.
But I don't ever see any mosque or imams going out and recruiting their congregations to go to these places and help out.
And that seems to be a strictly American quality, that we always help those in need when they're affected by these terrible storms and stuff.
So if you want to be an American, don't you think it seems like you should embrace the culture?
You know, I don't know.
Now, I did go to Tony Perkins Church down when we were in Baton Rouge, Rouge and I I I honestly wrote Franklin Graham and donated money to his group Samaritans Purse because they're on the ground there and I saw a lot of those volunteers I just don't know the answer.
I don't know people of other faiths that are helping.
I would like to think that they are.
So I can't comment intelligently on it.
And I appreciate the call.
But I do know this.
We are the most generous people on earth.
And I tried to, I got a day off politics, which for me, 80 days out of an election is very hard to do.
But these people were suffering and they needed the coverage.
And it was an honor to go down there and meet them.
And it was so sad to see so many people's lives.
I mean, street after street, home after home, neighborhood after neighborhood.
these homes are all destroyed.
It'll impact at least 1500 people if not more.
Entire communities will not be rebuilt I can tell you it was it it just breaks your heart because you know what it takes to get your first home.
I know what it took for me I mean I'm I went from not being able to pay my rent and doing work for my landlord to being able to buy my first house in Atlanta in Roswell Georgia when I was a radio host down there and I paid it like 11 13 thousand dollars whatever it was for this house and I thought it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my life.
And then to see that all go up in smoke in some cases when people lose it to fire or in this case flooding it just is sad to see and and people were told this is a non flood zone so they didn't buy flood insurance.
And I met so many people that I mean they're fortunate as much as people are going to take them in other people are not as fortunate.
Barbara Baltimore, WCBM.
You know, we recently lost a dear friend of ours.
I talked about it at the time, Tom Marr was a longtime host on WCBM.
I just love the guy.
I I saw him not I love the guy.
I saw him not long before he died.
And he was irrascible.
He was irreverent.
He was iconoclastic.
He was funny.
He always had a smile on his face.
He was a passionate patriot.
I love the guy.
And uh I I talked to members of his family, and they're in my our thoughts and prayers still, and it happened very suddenly and uh was just very sad about it.
We're gonna feel that loss for a long time.
I really uh love Tom.
Uh and he had a great guy.
He had a great set of pipes.
Yeah, he you know what did you work in radio?
Because that's a radio term.
Oh, yeah.
Well, he always, you know, he would always refer to uh pipes.
So and he didn't have a great.
I wish I had his set of pipes.
He had a great set of pipes, you're right.
Uh Sean, I just want to uh thank you uh for being um just for doing what you do no matter what and bringing the facts to us as they are.
I can just see uh you've got to pass this on.
I could see the Sean Hannity network and school of journalism and leave a legacy.
You could have your own network with all your guys on the street uh getting real news, and it would just be fantastic.
Just the thought.
But no, I'm gonna tell you something it's interesting you say that.
Now I'm I'm under contract for five more years, so I'm I'm not going anywhere, God willing, I'll I'll be alive and around and healthy.
I'm trying to try to stay in shape with my martial arts, and I'm still relative relatively young, so I I I would like to keep doing what I'm doing because I love it.
And but I will tell you, I talked once to Jerry Falwell, President Falwell of Liberty University, and we talked at length about the media.
And they have one great journalism department at Liberty University.
It's a great place to send your kids, it's a Christian university.
I mean, th this place is just rocking.
It's really well done.
And it's a great campus and stuff.
Anyway, so I was talking to him.
I honestly wouldn't mind doing something like that in my life.
I don't know what I don't know what God has planned for me.
I never made any decisions about my life.
When I when opportunities, I only made a decision that I wanted to do a radio show.
And I felt I wanted to do it.
Then I just then when opportunity came, I jumped, scared to death, but I'd jump.
Next opportunity came, I'd take a j dive.
Next opportunity came, I'd dive again.
And I never expected to be, you know, here talking to you today.
I I can promise you that.
And it wasn't planned to God for you.
I thank God for blessing me more than I definitely deserve.
Well, I just I just wanted to to I'm so glad I was able to get on to tell you uh what a fantastic job you are doing.
You uh bring the facts out, and as far as Mr. Trump, we couldn't have a better candidate.
Uh that town hall uh was fantastic.
I look forward to looking at it again tonight.
And um I'd like to just address something that was said earlier uh when asked about significant improvements of uh Obama in the black community.
The answer is none.
There have been none.
You know why do you think it is?
And I don't know if you're a black American or not, but I I am you know uh uh why do you think it is that here I've got all this data that proves just the opposite.
I asked the guy the question, he doesn't want to answer because there is no answer, and then he gives me all these non-specific general out generalities and and platitudes and cliches, and I'm sitting there thinking, wow, you've got to be pretty blind not to accept that this has gotten so bad for the black community.
It has.
And I'm I'm so grateful to Mr. Trump for being the voice that comes out and and asks for the black vote and put that case out there in front of people.
And Sheriff Clark said something, the cotton fields have replaced, been replaced by the ghetto, and it is a ghetto.
I don't like to use these analogies, but I I will tell you this.
I if you believe as I do, and I I'm uh I'm Christian, I was raised Catholic, I consider myself a Christian.
I'm not the best church goer in the world.
I read the good book and I believe everything in it, and I know that you know I'm not one of the I'm one Of the ones that needs the saving, okay?
Because I know I'm not the person that I could be.
All right.
That's how I interpret my Christianity.
And I know God sacrificed his only son for our sins.
I believe that with all my heart.
Right?
Yeah.
All right.
But here's here's what I don't understand.
If we believe that every person was created by the same God, sent to this earth with talent and ability, and we send these kids decade after decade to failing schools, and we send these kids into an environment where there's drugs and gangs and crime and and misery, and we don't do anything to fix it.
I I it blows my mind that this has been allowed to occur because all of that brilliant potential, and it's not just black America, inner city America.
Anybody living in an inner city.
We have failed them miserably.
And then you have people like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
They've done nothing to shake up this system, which would be give parents money, give them choice, let schools compete, and the best schools are gonna get the most money because they're gonna do the better job of raising and educating our kids, and let these kids go to schools in uniforms, put their hands at the edge of their desk, bring their their teacher in Apple, shut their mouths, learn reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Let's stop with the multicultural, politically correct nonsense, and let's start competing, considering we spend per capita more per student than any industrialized country in the world.
We're failing these children.
And we're blowing all of the good potential that they have to make our country a better place.
And that's sad.
And when you have 50% of black teenagers can't get a summer job, if I didn't have a summer job, I would have been in trouble with my dopey friends.
If you have if you have a 58% increase, black Americans on food stamps since Obama's president, 20% increase, black Americans not in the labor force since he's been president.
We're failing that community.
And if we love them, we're gonna help them.
You can't have illegal immigrants taking jobs away from African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and all Americans.
It's ridiculous.
You see what you did, Barbara, you got me worked up.
This is something that Tom would do, by the way.
He'd get worked up too, right?
Yes, he did.
He would get worked up, and he was worked up about Donald Trump.
And uh I I just love the fact that Mr. Trump is bringing that message, and he's not backing down on it.
He's not waffling, he's not uh what changing up, uh flip-flopping, as I've heard people say.
He's just nailing it down and nailing it factually right where it is, and laying it at the feet.
All of these problems are at the feet of the Democrat Party.
They created it, and he's going to fix it.
Well, and now these Republicans that are sabotaging Trump, they own Hillary if she wins, as far as I'm concerned.
I gotta run.
Barbara, God bless you.
Our thoughts and prayers again to the Maher family.
Thank you for being with us.
