Donald Trump made more free headlines today with his announcement that he's putting an end to the controversy of whether Barack Obama is a United States Citizen. "Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the Birther controversy and I finished it," announced Donald Trump, "President Obama was born in the United States. Period. Now, we want to get back to making America strong and great again!" The Sean Hannity Show is live Monday through Friday from 3pm - 6pm ET on iHeart Radio and Hannity.com.

Get out when it says shoot, play it again, shooting bullets at the moon.
I'll give her one more chance because she's sitting in there brain dead and stubborn.
And by the way, I walked in the hall today and your dog, Treat, jumped on me twice when I had my hands full of papers.
I didn't even say jump.
That dog is not going to make it as a vet dog.
I'm telling you right now.
I've trained her to do that to be annoying to you.
Yeah, and by the way, why don't you cut the dog's nails?
Because my chest is ripped to shreds thanks to this stupid dog.
You're a warrior.
You can handle that.
Listen, I teach my dogs to jump on me because it makes it easier than me having to bend down and pet them.
Gracie jumps on me.
Marley jumps on me.
I like it.
I don't mind that your dog jumps on me so I don't have to bend over and pet them.
They jump on me and I get to pet them up front.
So that's what we do.
I teach them.
But your dog is supposed to listen.
Your dog jumps all the time.
You've been training this dog for how long?
I trained her to do that to you on purpose, especially when you have stuff in your hands.
No, you didn't.
I didn't want her to bother me.
And why didn't you shoot bullets at the moon?
What's up today, Cranky?
I'm upset with you.
What now?
That's not something I can do.
What now?
What are you going to accuse me?
Like the Pip Squeak stelter, the Media Matters copyright stealer?
I mean, everything basically that they have over at unreliable liberal sources is all documented by Media Matters and David Brock.
David Brock now offering to pay money if you can dig up dirt on Trump.
There was an article on Drudge earlier today.
I'm like, wow, we got to pay for money for Trump dirt.
How much can I get paid?
I'll make up something.
Anything.
It's good grief.
People sell their souls for politics.
That's how desperate the people are on supporting Hillary.
Speaking of desperation, you've got a number of examples of desperate Democrats in the media.
They're now totally panicked over Hillary's sinking poll numbers.
Boston Globe is now calling on all sane Republicans.
That's the term they use.
They want all sane Republicans in America to abandon Donald Trump before it's too late.
So if you support Donald Trump, you're not only deplorable, you're insane.
I don't think so.
Anyway, the sane members of the Republican Party.
Oh, let's see.
All those people that can't do anything and don't keep their promises, those people.
The headline on Drudge today, I think, pretty much says it all.
Trump trolls the media.
There was a certain artistic beauty to what Trump did today because they announced that Donald Trump was going to address the issue of Obama's birth certificate in the lead up to this.
I'm watching it.
I was a little behind.
I kind of was up late last night, got up early, was watching the news, kind of fell back to sleep, opened my eyes, flip around the news channels, and there it is.
I'm like, all right, what the hell is this?
This is what I'm thinking in my head.
Here it is.
We've got this guy on a roll.
He's got everything now moving in his direction, and now he's going to blow it up and bring up birtherism.
I'm like, what are you doing?
And I'm literally like, start my texting off to people.
Not going to tell you who.
Media, big secret.
And I started, what's this all about?
Why?
Why would you do this?
Anyway, so Trump very brilliantly gets to introduce a lot of Medal of Honor winners, and they all get to talk.
And he's talking about our dilapidated military and how horribly we treat veterans.
Common themes in his campaign.
And then at the very end, he adds this.
Not to mention her in the same breath, but Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy.
I finished it.
I finished it.
You know what I mean.
President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period.
Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again.
Thank you.
So in a speech that in all likelihood never would have been carried by any of the networks, they all carried it.
They all said Donald Trump to address birtherism.
And I just died laughing because I thought it was so funny.
And they all got sucked in, every one of them, and they deserve it.
Now, he does put this birther issue to rest.
Hillary Clinton has to ignore, and this bothered me about the Washington Post coverage of this.
He falsely claimed Hillary was involved.
Well, they don't do their fact-checking very well.
Maybe the fact-checker over at the Washington Post, you know, who fact-checks the fact-checkers?
Anybody?
Because they often get it wrong.
Because, you know, there is a big lie, and there is a history to all of this that I want to go over with you today.
Because at the press conference, Donald Trump declared this whole birth of controversy, which Hillary Clinton is desperately trying to revive.
It was Hillary who said he needs to apologize to Barack Obama.
Well, he said it's no longer a campaign issue.
Now, Trump isn't pushing the birth of controversy or conspiracy.
Now, there is something odd about this that I always said at the time.
I was never, quote, a birther.
But, like, for example, if somebody asks me, I'm running for office, Hannity, let's see your birth certificate, which most candidates at some point, I guess, have to hand over.
He did.
We know that he went to a Muslim school in Jakarta.
We know because Nicholas Kristoff at the New York Times quoted Obama, quote, with a first-rate accent, saying that the call to prayer was the most beautiful site on earth to call it the Muslim prayer, is what he's talking about, because he went to a Muslim school.
And his father was a Muslim.
But that doesn't mean that he is.
He went to the church at GD America.
He went to Reverend Wright's church, the church where the Sunday after 9-11, when Hillary said she would support profiling Muslims with Sam Donaldson, just a side note, but that Sunday said GD America and America's chickens.
Chickens coming home.
Coming home.
Rooster.
No, no, no.
Not God bless America.
God damn America.
God d'M America.
He went to the church at GD America and I had no idea that this Reverend felt this way.
He's shocked after 20 years in the pew.
No idea.
He is like family to me.
And he had no concept at all that this is how Jeremiah Wright felt.
Anyway, so Trump just said, let's set the record straight.
Now, according to The Atlantic, not exactly a conservative publication back in 2007, Clinton's chief strategist, he's been around the Clintons for a long time.
His name is Mark Penn.
Mark Penn wrote a campaign memo about wanting to craft an image of then Senator Barack Obama as, quote, un-American or other.
Now, Penn, I actually have the memo.
He detailed the plan in writing.
And I think this is important for everybody to know that, you know, he wrote the memo.
All these articles about his boyhood in Indonesia and his life in Hawaii are geared towards showing his background is diverse, multicultural, and putting it in a new light, he wrote.
Save it for 2050.
It exposes a very strong weakness for him.
His roots to basic American values and culture are best, at best, limited.
I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center, fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values.
Oh, Mark Penn writing a campaign memo for Hillary Clinton in 2007.
I can't imagine America would elect a president during a time of war who is at his center.
Fundamentally, it was not at his center, fundamentally American in his thinking and values.
Every speech he writes should contain the line that you were born in the middle of America to the middle class in the middle of the last century.
Let's explicitly own American in our programs, our speeches, and the values that he doesn't have.
Wow, that's Hillary Clinton's campaign.
So anybody that says Hillary Clinton had nothing to do with it is just full of crap, and they're just spinning for her.
But then again, the number one campaign contributor to Hillary Clinton is the mainstream media, the Clinton News Network, all the pipsqueaks that work over there.
Anyway, yeah, I am thinking about suing.
Everyone in the media is, are you serious?
It's the third story on AOL today.
Hannity's thinking about suing.
CNN.
Anyway, back in 2008, as Obama was ascending past Clinton to claim the Democratic nomination, her supporters, let me repeat that.
Yes, Hillary Clinton supporters, they circulated an email rumor that Obama was not born in America.
Now, where did I get that information?
The Telegraph reports, the email said, quote, Barack Obama's mother was living in Kenya with his Arab African father late in her pregnancy.
She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother took him to Hawaii to register his birth.
After that, John Avalon, I think he's married to Margaret Hoover, right?
I like Margaret Hoover.
She's very nice.
He detailed in his book about the birther movement, a Clinton volunteer named Linda Starr played a key role in further spreading the rumor.
Then in August of that year, attorney Philip Berg filed a lawsuit in federal court stating that, quote, Obama carries multiple citizenships and is ineligible to run for president of the United States.
Notice I haven't mentioned Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, or Fox News because we weren't involved in this.
There was a photo that appeared on the Drudge Report during the 2008 campaign.
Remember the one of him dressed in like, what would you say the garb is?
I don't know.
He was dressed.
He had a headpiece, traditional African garb, with a white, what do you call that thing on his head?
That's not a hat.
What is it?
It's not a turban.
What is it?
It's a head covering.
Head covering of some kind?
I don't know.
I just don't know the answer to that.
Anyway, so Obama carries multiple citizenships.
Then the photo appeared on a Drudge report during the OA campaign.
That set off a political firestorm.
Obama's campaign manager, David Plouf, I know it's pluff.
I like saying Ploof.
Anyway, he accused the Clinton campaign of distributing the photo and slammed them saying, quote, on the very day Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America and the world, her campaign is engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we've seen from either party in this election.
Oh, David Plouf was pissed off.
Now, PolitiFact, one of the fact-checkers that never gets fact-checked, also pointed out that the Clinton campaign volunteers in Iowa, that they worked to spread a rumor that Obama's a Muslim.
Again, I'm not talking about Fox News, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin.
And that brings us to Hillary, who's now accusing Donald Trump of bigotry, racism, and everything else in between.
Now, she was on 60 Minutes in 08, and when Clinton was given the chance to put an end to this Muslim rumor, she said, well, he was asked the question: well, you don't believe Senator Obama's a Muslim.
Well, of course not.
I mean, that's, you know, there's no basis for that.
I kind of take him what he says on that.
I mean, there's not a reason to really doubt that.
You don't believe that Senator Obama's a Muslim?
Of course not.
I mean, that's, you know, there is no basis for that.
You know, I take him on the basis of what he says, and, you know, there isn't any reason to doubt that.
You said you take Senator Obama at his word that he's not a Muslim.
You don't believe that he's a Muslim.
No, I'm not afraid of him.
No, there is nothing to base that on, as far as I know.
By the way, it was Somali clothing photo.
That's where it was.
I'm just giving the facts here.
I'm just trying to get it out straight.
Now, that sounds like she's raising quite, I mean, I have no reason.
I mean, if he says it, I guess.
Sure.
What am I going to call him a liar?
That's how she said it.
Now, there's an interesting tweet today.
Now, it's about Sid Vicious Blumenthal, big friend of Hillary, who is vicious, by the way.
Anyway, James Asher is his name.
It's a verified account.
Now, he is the Washington editor for Injustice Watch, which is an investigative nonprofit.
He's the former Washington Bureau chief of McClatchy.
Anyway, CNN says Hillary's team in 2008 never raised Obama's birth in Kenya.
He writes, who's closer to Hillary Rodham Clinton than Sid Blumenthal, who told me face to face.
Now, let me see.
Am I going to believe a Clinton sycophant, known liars surrounding Clinton?
Am I going to believe Sid Vicious Blumenthal, or am I going to believe the former Washington Bureau chief for McClatchy?
Let me think.
Let me think.
Oh, this is a tough one.
Hold on, hold on.
I think I'll go with the guy from McClatchy.
I think I'll go with him considering the Clintons and their spinners have such a history of lying.
I think I'll stick with them.
I've got a lot more to say about this when we get back, and a little more background for you.
And, you know, the media is launching their last-gasp blitzkrieg to derail Donald Trump.
We have a report today on how Trump is cracking the Electoral College with the polls that have come out this week.
A court has ruled against Hillary in a lawsuit brought by the Benghazi parents that I think you need to know about.
We'll get to that today.
And the Clinton campaign is offering a cash reward for dirt on Donald Trump.
That's how desperate they now have gotten.
But it shouldn't surprise you, should it?
Former President Bill Clinton tried to get former Senator Ted Kennedy to endorse Hillary Clinton for president in 08 by describing Obama this way: a few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.
The anecdote is revealed in a New Yorker article on the relationship between Bill and Obama.
Tim Rusher told me that according to his sources, Bill Clinton, in an effort to secure an endorsement for Hillary from Ted Kennedy, said to Kennedy a few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.
Yikes.
Oh, you mean that wasn't on Fox News?
Hang on a second.
I thought all these horrible things were set.
Oh, that's right.
That's Bill Clinton.
They played the race card on me, and they tried to do it from the very beginning.
That's what they did.
That's what the Obama people did.
You forget that part, too.
This is how bad the Clintons now are and how desperate they are.
And you can see with the polling this week and Donald Trump, again, on message, headed to Louisiana, going down to Mexico, doing very well in that forum with Matt Lauer, giving speech after speech in one black church after another, seeing massive rise in the massive rise in the polls as he becomes and evolves into the candidate people had hoped for for a long time, distinguishing himself with one.
one substantive policy speech after another.
All Hillary's got is to attack Trump.
So you can kind of see with these poll numbers, you know, beads of sweat dripping off of Hillary's campaign and every Democrat.
They're so desperate that they now have gone to David Brock, the head of Media Matters, and he's got another pack called Correct the Record.
I think he gets paid for all these packs.
David Brock has made a living.
He's come a long way from the real Anita Hill story, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clinton Incorporated, and now offering a cash reward for dirt on Donald Trump.
I've been hearing all these rumors for a long time that any woman that's had an abortion because of Donald Trump, any woman that's had this happen with Donald Trump.
They've been doing this for a long time, floating these rumors for a long time.
But anyway, Brock has now come out public and said he's nailed wanted posters in the public sphere, according to Politico, promising that his coordinated with the Clinton campaign super PAC, correct the record, is going to pay a cash bounty to anyone who brings them fresh dirt in the form of audio or video on Donald Trump.
The effort is called Trump Leaks, follows an earlier Brock initiative from July in which he claimed to have secured $5 million from an anonymous donor that would go to a charity of Trump's choosing if he releases his tax returns.
Brock insists that what he's doing is not journalism.
Yeah, you think?
You think, oh, really?
Did we need some type of corrective measure on that?
This isn't journalism?
You mean Media Matters?
I know CNN, they have unreliable media sources, the Pip Squeak Show.
Brian Stelter, his number one, you know, he's the stenographer of Jeff Zucker, but his number one source seems to be Media Matters.
Yeah, he's the guy that slandered me the other day.
He's the guy that I'm calling David Boyce about.
Baskets are a popular phrase.
Let's use baskets for this.
There's a basket of legitimate questioning about Hillary Clinton's health, and some conservative commentators and media figures fit into that basket.
They're right to wonder about her health in some cases.
Then there's this other basket, a truly deplorable basket.
Sean Hannity fits into it.
So is Rush Limbaugh.
These are people who bring up rumors and innuendo about Clinton's health and have been doing it for years.
I'm not saying Hannity or Limbaugh fit into this necessarily, but some of these figures want her to be sick.
They want her to be dying.
They want her to be on her deathbed.
It's wishful thinking.
Wow.
Clinton News Network is so desperate.
Anyway, David Brock is just doing Hillary's bidding here.
I'm sure she probably has her hand in this to never admit it.
She's the one who's paying him to do this, I would assume.
Can't prove it.
But I'm just guessing.
It's probably a possibility.
Somebody comes up with something on Trump, the cash reward is there.
Little slush fund.
Who's paying the money?
Remember in 2011, Larry Flint promised a million dollars to anyone who provided information that Rick Perry was having an affair.
Back in the 70s, he was prepared to give a million dollars to a source who could help him prove any member of Congress or high official was having an affair.
And according to Vanity Fair, the Flint bounty helped unmask House Speaker designate Bob Livingston as an adulterer in 1998 on the eve of Bill Clinton's impeachment.
After which, by the way, Flint was publicly thanked by the Clintons.
Oh, isn't that nice?
You know what?
Let's bring the people together, shall we?
Having your surrogates offer money for dirt, sleaze, slime.
I wonder why Jim Jordan is trying to impeach the IRS commissioner.
America's largest police union, the fraternal order of police, now has given today their endorsement to Donald Trump, lauding his commitment to law enforcement officers.
And he also has received support from more than two-thirds of the group's national board.
And what's interesting about this is he's made a real commitment.
They didn't endorse any presidential candidate back in 2012.
Nobody.
That's a pretty big endorsement.
Something is happening here because I want you to pay very close attention.
David Brock is a good sign of this.
Because if you notice the new air of desperation that you're seeing in the latest round of media attacks against Trump, this is why Trump, what he did today, was so brilliant.
He's talking about birtherism.
And he just does an entire event, gives a sentence at the end, and walks out.
Then the media covered the whole thing.
It just deflated their balloon.
He played them like a fiddle.
Anyway, so he's now passing Hillary Clinton in national polls.
He's now surging in battleground states.
Hillary's real clear politics average is, you know, just a little over a point.
And if you average the most recent four polls that have been released, Trump is actually ahead.
So the press, Hillary's number one donor, is now hitting the panic button.
They know that if they don't stop Trump now, and he does well in the debates, as well as he did with 17 Republican opponents, he's got a very good chance of being the 45th president of the United States.
So this desperation is now sinking in vis-a-vis David Brock.
You're also seeing it in the mainstream media.
They're starting a blitzkrieg.
And if you notice, there's a new intensity of everything they're throwing, including the kitchen sink, all of Donald Trump, in the hopes that something's going to stick now before it's too late.
Now you've got the New York Times.
They are going to court.
They want to unseal Trump's 1990 divorce records.
By the way, most of the details of that divorce were amply covered in the press at the time, including everything that Avana says.
By the way, Avana Trump is supporting Donald Trump for president.
And by every indication, I guess his second wife is supporting Donald Trump for president.
Guess Donald Trump can't be that bad if his ex-wives don't hate him that much.
Anyway, the Times is rolling the dice and hoping there's some deep, dark secret in those divorce records, just like they used that article on the front page of their paper, quoting Carrie Prejan, former Miss California, and quoting other girlfriends of Donald Trump.
And it turns out, whoopsie-daisy, all those women like Donald Trump, and they said that the Times purposely distorted what they said to them.
So you've got the media kind of trying to resurrect the David Duke controversy, claiming Mike Pence didn't denounce David Duke forcefully enough.
How many times do you have to denounce David Duke before it sticks?
You didn't denounce him an hour ago, so you denounced him two hours ago, but do you denounce him this hour?
So stupid.
Reince Privus denounced Duke.
Trump denounced him.
Pence denounced him.
Trump did it again and again and again denounced him.
But the media still wants to pretend Donald Trump is trying to win the support of the Klan.
I mean, did these idiots, these ignorant, ignorant Ramuses still even exist?
I mean, if they do, their numbers are next to nothing.
Nobody supports these ignorant bigots.
You have a cosmopolitan magazine grilling Ivanka Trump on how her father treats women.
Meanwhile, they'd never dare ask Chelsea about how her father treats women.
Maybe they should dig up some of the dirt that's out there and available by the women that say they were assaulted by Bill Clinton.
You know, Hillary's going over a cliff.
All bets are off now.
The media's out there attacking Donald Jr., you know, because he used the word gas chamber.
He must be an anti-Semite.
It's absurd and ridiculous.
Today's stunt, I think, takes the cake with the Obama birther controversy.
And this is an issue that Donald Trump hadn't said one word about during the entire presidential campaign.
Hillary brings it up in the hopes that he'll bite.
Oh, he bit all right.
And he said there's no there there.
So don't think just because Trump now has done exactly what they have been demanding, saying that Obama was born in America, that that's going to be enough for them.
You know, if it isn't birtherism, it'll be David Duke.
If it isn't David Duke, it's going to be Trump's divorce.
And if it's not racism, it'll be sexism.
If it's not sexism, it's homophobia.
If it's not homophobia, then it's going to be xenophobia.
If not xenophobia, it's going to be Islamophobia.
I don't even know all these phobias anymore.
I can't keep up.
Grief.
Oopsie-daisy, another oopsie-daisy.
Hillary's the Clinton crime spree apparently has gone to a new level since she began plunging in the polls.
We have a report out today, ding, ding, ding, that her campaign is bilking poor donors with unauthorized credit card charges.
Oops.
Now, if James Comey hadn't already decided that Hillary's above the law, that could be a serious allegation.
And Hillary's campaign is apparently stealing from the poorest supporters she has by purposefully and repeatedly overcharging poor people that make a one-time donation.
That's really mean to do that, by the way.
I think there's a word for that.
It's called stealing.
It's a crime.
Used to be identity theft.
It may even be Prozac time for some of these people on the left.
They might be in full, complete depression by the end of next week if this keeps going on.
But anyway, you know, when you have a Democratic political organ like Politico suddenly discovering that Trump has a path to victory, you know Democrats are panicked.
But anyway, they, in fact, now say that, quote, Trump has cracked the electoral college lock that Hillary previously had in the race with six weeks to go.
Hillary's advantage in the Electoral College looks insurmountable.
But now, based on the latest round of public polling, it's a different story.
If the election were held today, Donald Trump would apparently win roughly as many electoral votes as Hillary Clinton, who held a commanding lead in early August and seemed to be closing off all possible Trump routes to 270 electoral votes.
But state polling averages, which can be lagging indicators, are beginning to show Donald Trump has the lead.
Slightly more aggressive estimate.
They said Trump is now ahead in Iowa, Ohio, and in Florida.
You can also add Nevada, North Carolina, maybe even Maine, and maybe even a place like Colorado.
I don't know.
What else do we have today?
Oh, a court ruled against Hillary in the lawsuit brought by the Benghazi parents.
Federal lawsuit has entered a judgment against Hillary in the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the Gold Star parents of two of the heroes that died in Benghazi, Pat Smith and Charles Wood are the parents.
And they asked for a default judgment against Clinton after she failed to respond to the lawsuit.
Clerk entered the default judgment against Clinton in the case.
Now, Clinton's attorney, David Kendall, is protesting the judgment in court in a court filing saying Clinton did not properly, was not properly served with the lawsuit, therefore the default judgment against her should be thrown out.
How did the media miss this?
I didn't see it anywhere.
All right, let's get to some phone calls here.
Where do you want me to go?
Let's go to Vicki.
Oh, in Franklin Square, New York.
You know I'm from Franklin Square, right?
Hi, Sean.
Yes, I do.
Sean was born and raised in Franklin Square, New York.
It's a great place to live.
898 Oaks Drife.
Oh, okay.
Not too far from me, a couple of blocks.
Yeah, I used to hang out at Wrath Park with all the other degenerates.
What's going on?
Okay, you took the words out of my mouth.
I was watching Fox News, and I'm watching the black caucus one by one, getting to the mic, calling Donald Trump a racist.
And I don't understand.
I'm so happy you're on the Trump chain, but I wish somebody would tell him to use that article about Hillary Clinton's husband Bill Clinton when he said about the comment about the luggage.
You know, this guy should be carrying our luggage.
Yeah, that's pretty disgusting.
This is more racist than anything Donald Trump has ever said.
Well, what about what Joe Biden said?
Hey, this is a storybook, man.
I mean, he's clean.
He's articulate.
I mean, this is a storybook, man.
Storybook.
They're getting nervous.
They really, they never thought he would do this.
They never thought he would turn this around.
Nope.
I'm so happy.
I hope.
I pray he wins.
There's 53 days to go.
When I get back here on Monday, it's going to be what?
50 days to go.
Yeah.
So my advice is keep your foot on the gas and play like you're behind.
Okay.
All right.
Great.
I'm not going to.
Keep on going.
I'm going to.
I'm going to keep on going as long as I have a breath in me.
All right, real quick.
Mark in Texas, you have 45 seconds, Mark.
Go.
Okay, Sean.
I just want to put to an end the idea that birtherism is about racism.
You know, Chester Arthur has had his eligibility question.
He's white.
John McCain had his eligibility questioned.
He was right.
Four black men who ran for president, Ben Carson, Al Sharpton, Herman Cain, and Jesse Jackson, were never accused of being born in Kenya.
There's nothing about race that has anything to do with this.
This is all Barack Obama's fault because up until the year 2007, he allowed people to represent him as being Indonesian-born, as Kenyan-born, and he never made a single correction.
His own literary agent represented him as Kenyan-born for 16 years.
Now, maybe if he would have corrected the record sooner, maybe if he would have released the certified copy of his birth certificate sooner, maybe none of this would have happened.
To me, it was dumb that he didn't.
I mean, especially if they had it.
Why didn't they just release it?
It just created questions in people's minds needlessly.
But I agree with you.
You've given money to Democratic causes, Democratic candidates, including the President of the United States.
And so the suggestion is you're not going to be objective in this kind of investigation.
Reassure the American people that you're not going to let your partisanship interfere with this investigation.
I've never been a partisan operative, a political operative.
I was actually asked by the Bush administration to come in and work on Freddie Max.
Did you contribute to the Obama campaign?
I've contributed to campaigns for the last 40 or 50 years, many of them friends.
At this point in my career, it's not my intention at all to play games with the Congress.
My goal is to help restore people's faith in a critical institution for the country, the IRS.
As I said, people need to feel comfortable that it's not a politicized agency, that it treats people fairly.
They can say it all they want, but we do know an effort was made after 2010 and the rise of the Tea Party to attack, malign anybody that had any conservative inference in their name as an effort to prevent them from being involved politically in 2012.
That was the IRS commissioner, John Koskiden, who made those comments.
Right now, there is an effort by the House Freedom Caucus.
They're attempting to impeach him.
And the last impeachment was President Bill Clinton in 98.
And it seemed earlier this week that the establishment Republicans, led by Paul Ryan, weren't going to let this happen.
And it played out somewhat this week.
And here to give us the behind the scenes and give us a preview of the hearing that now has been postponed till September the 21st is Jim Jordan, who was with the Freedom Caucus.
Actually, I guess you're the leader of the Freedom Caucus, aren't you?
Chairman's right term, Sean, good to be with you.
How you doing?
I'm doing fine, man.
Is Trump going to win Ohio?
Hey, I got to tell you, so we opened up.
Now think about this, Sean.
We opened up a party headquarters four weeks ago.
And it's a nice crowd we had there.
We opened up the headquarters in Lyme, Ohio, a town in our district.
We'll open it up.
We had a good crowd, and we all, you know, all the other state reps, they're high, we all speak.
When we're done, a guy's working his way up in the line to get a picture and to talk to me.
And he gets up to him.
He's got a Trump sign in his hand.
And he says, this, I'm a union pipe fitter.
I'm voting for Donald Trump.
And I don't care what my leadership says.
They ain't going to talk me out of it.
So that's a dynamic that's happening in our state.
People, and I said to this guy, I said, good for you.
I said, you know what?
You're just like my dad.
1980, my dad worked 30 years for General Motors.
1980, voted for Reagan, and has been a conservative Republican ever since.
That's what's happening in our state and all across this country.
And that is a good thing.
And that's why I think Trump should win our state and be the next president of the United States.
Well, the last two polls had him up by five and three, respectively.
And no Republican has won the White House without the Buckeye state.
I think the people in Ohio seem to be understanding that there's such a distinct difference between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
I'd be less than honest if I said I'm anything but disappointed in your governor, John Kasich.
He's among the many Republican candidates that made a pledge that he would support the eventual nominee.
He wouldn't even show up at the convention.
And I bet if the Democrats had their convention in Ohio, he probably would have showed up.
And I also, you know, I guess he's been in a meeting for a good part of the day with Barack Obama.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting.
What is he telling Obama how he would tell Hillary to go about winning Ohio?
I have no idea.
And I'm also told from my friends on the ground in Ohio that he's telling a lot of these leaders and chairmen and top officials in the Republican Party not to help Trump.
Is there any truth to that?
Well, I hope that's not happening.
I hope that the governor eventually supports our nominee.
But I'm sure doing everything I can to help him.
I mean, look, there is not one single policy Hillary Clinton's for that you and I are for.
There's just not one.
There are all kinds of things we support for Mr. I mean, he's right about securing our border.
He's right about his tax policy.
He's right about so many things.
And frankly, what Hillary Clinton, this lady has such a problem communicating forthright and straightforward, communicating the truth.
For goodness sake, she shouldn't be president.
But this is the problem, because you've got this whole group like John Kasich, your governor, that has really ticked me off.
I mean, he does CNN now.
Now he's on MSNBC.
Now he's spending the day with Obama, you know, with a briefing at the White House.
He knows that this is going to hurt Donald Trump.
Not only is he not helping Trump, now he's hurting him.
And, you know, here's what I would say to John Kasich, but he won't take my call, is that the Supreme Court, you can compare and contrast who Hillary would appoint versus who Donald Trump said he'd appoint.
Trump can say radical Islam.
Trump will vet refugees, unlike Hillary.
Trump will build the wall.
Well, that'll protect workers' jobs in states like Ohio.
Trump is committed to energy independence.
Hillary wants to put coal miners out of work and coal companies out of business.
Trump will repeal Obamacare.
He'll give education back to the states.
He picked Mike Tent to be his running mate.
Really?
He's given us a list of the folks he put on the Supreme Court, and on and on it goes.
The refugee issue, the president just announced two days ago that he was going to up the number, up the number, and without the kind of vetting we need to let these folks in our country, are you kidding me?
So, of course, he's the guy we need to vote for, and of course, he's the guy we need to help.
I'm hopeful that our governor will figure that out here sometime in the next.
I'm not holding my breath.
I think that these people have made their decision.
They've locked themselves in.
And my answer to them is that if, God forbid, Hillary wins, they own it.
And John Kasich, more than anybody else, he owns it.
Because if she appoints leftists to the Supreme Court, he sabotages Trump, then he's partly responsible.
Is that a fair assessment?
Well, I'm not sure.
Yeah, well, Sean, you know, I think I said on this show a month ago that I was for Hannity for the running mate or Hannity for president.
So I was better than that.
Let's be honest.
Well, one of the things that's happening is when we see certain high-ranking Republicans not embrace Trump and not support our nominee, I think it drives more of those people like that union pipe fitter to our party.
I think that helps us.
So there's, I think we're getting a lot of people who typically don't vote for Republicans who are, and that's going to help put us over the top in a state like Ohio and hopefully a state like Pennsylvania, maybe Michigan, the states we have to win if our guy's going to be president.
And Rob Portman is polling very well also in Ohio.
Kick and tail.
And I really like the fact that Donald Trump has made all of this outreach to the black community and going to black churches.
He does it again and again.
He did it in Wisconsin.
He did it in Detroit.
He did it in Flint, Michigan, and he's doing it all over the place.
And he's for allowing parents to pick where their kids are going to get the best education, which is not something the Democrats want to support except when it comes to their kids, right?
So those are the kind of policies that are going to help people in these difficult neighborhoods and improve the lives, improve cities.
I'm with you.
I'm glad he's making that kind of outreach.
Let me talk a little bit about our IRS commissioner, and I applaud your work here, John Coskiden.
Now, you have led an effort, the House Freedom Caucus, holding a hearing about his misconduct at the IRS, and very specifically, he was accused of not disclosing that the computer hard drive of Lois Lerner, the IRS employee, who admitted that the IRS had targeted Tea Party and other groups, conservative groups, had crashed.
Instead, you pointed out that Coskigan told Congress four months later by the time the backup tapes of those emails were destroyed.
So he was basically.
That fact pattern is so compelling.
You know, in February of 2014 that there's a problem with her hard drive and there's missing emails.
Your chief counsel knows, and you wait four months to tell the Congress of the United States, who's doing an investigation, and during that same timeframe, the backup tapes are magnetically erased.
Are you kidding me?
Who gets away with that?
If Sean Hannity is being audited by the IRS and you lose documents and you wait four months to tell them you've lost them, and in the meantime, the disk that contains the backup somehow gets destroyed, you're in big trouble, Sean.
Listen, I'm going to jail.
You guys are going to handcuff me, perp walk me, mugshot me, and send me to prison, you know, with, I guess I'll be living in a room by myself because somebody there would probably want to kill me, and then I'd need a cake with a file in it, and I don't think you or anybody else are going to bring it to me, so I'm going to be there for years.
But is it any different than Hillary and her team using bleach bit?
That's the point.
There are now two standards in America: there's one for you and me, Sean, and regular folks, and the good people I get the privilege of representing in the 4th District of Ohio, and there's a different standard for the politically connected.
And that is not supposed to be how it works in this great country.
We're all supposed to be treated equally under the law.
And John Costkin and Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton don't get a special deal.
They should get the same deal that you and I get.
And that's what we're doing.
Well, whatever happened to Lois Lerner?
That's a great question.
She's getting a pension, and nothing happened to her.
And whatever happened to the Democrats who threw a temper tension on the floor of the House?
Nothing.
And how about this past week when Brian Pagliano is subpoenaed by a counselor?
He doesn't even show up.
Doesn't even show up.
And the other people plead the fifth.
Yes, it's ridiculous.
And if we don't start stepping up and saying, look, we're going to do whatever it takes to hold people accountable.
And the fact pattern with Kospinen is so, so egregious, it warrants impeachment.
Here's the last thing.
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, August 5th, just last month, August 5th, 2016, said the targeting is still going on, as evidenced by the fact that two Tea Party groups are still waiting, one as long as six years, still waiting for their taxes and status.
So they're still doing it, harassing people.
Well, where is Paul Ryan on all of this?
Listen, you know, the leadership in Congress won't come on this radio program or my TV show anymore.
They want nothing to do with me.
So I'm unadopted, whether you like it or not.
I'm a Freedom Caucus adoptee.
We already offered you, we already extended you the invitation.
Well, listen, you're the only people.
I'll be honest, and I'm not saying this flippantly here.
You know, you're the only people I have any faith in to fight on anything.
I mean, that's how bad the Republican Party has gotten.
And, you know, Republicans stood by, and yeah, they voted 50 times for show votes to repeal Obamacare, but they wouldn't use the power of the purse.
The debt went up over nearly $5 trillion under Boehner.
I mean, I know you like him.
He's a fellow Ohio Buckeye, but the problem here is that that's not conservative to me.
And now you've got open sabotage by many of these high-ranking Republicans against Donald Trump, and that pisses me off, too.
I hear you.
I hear you.
And, Sean, look, any one of the members of the Freedom Caucus will be happy to come on your show, radio or TV, whenever.
You're the only people that will take our call.
Nobody else will take our call anymore.
And second, here's where you're so right.
We better figure this out, or the American people are going to say to heck with us.
We had better figure out.
By the way, they don't like you either, in case you didn't know it.
No, but I will tell you something.
This idea that there are two standards, and we're not fighting for regular Americans.
80% of the country thinks Washington's rigged against them, and they believe that because it's true.
And if we don't start changing that, I was talking the other day.
I was doing one of the TV shows, and you do it from Fox, and you're just looking in the camera talking.
And I'm talking about the same thing we're talking about, the two standards.
And as I'm talking, the cameraman guy, whatever this gentleman's name was, starts nodding his head.
And when the clip is over, when the segment's over, he steps out from behind the camera and he goes, You are so right, I am sick of it.
So if we don't figure out where the American people are and why they are right and the elites in Washington don't have all the answers, we better figure out: are our parties in trouble?
And more importantly, our country's in trouble.
Is anybody in the Freedom Caucus talking about whether or not you want Paul Ryan as your speaker or whether or not there'll be a challenge?
Because if the Freedom Caucus doesn't support Ryan, he's not going to be Speaker.
We're not talking about right now.
We're focusing on this spending bill that they're trying to put into the lame duck session, which we know is a bad thing.
But this is the first question you've ducked today.
Come on.
And we're focusing on impeaching John Coskin with the hearing next week.
So that's what we're focused on.
But we'll get to the leadership.
But Paul Ryan and leadership did give you a hard time this week.
They really didn't want to do this, did they?
No, but that's the beauty of the rules.
We forced them to get a hearing with John Coskin and under oath talking about the Articles of Impeachment.
Now, what's their rationale for, you know, here's a guy that we now know destroyed evidence, targeted conservatives because of their political use, used the IRS as a weapon.
What's their rationale for not taking him out of power?
They don't want to get hurt politically?
My guess is because it hasn't been done well, but I would say this.
When have we seen such egregious behavior from an administration where they usurp the constitutional limitations that are in place where they don't return?
Obama does it every day.
But, you know, the same.
That's my point.
That's my point.
The same Republican Party said that it was illegal and unconstitutional what the president did with executive amnesty.
And they said, well, give us the Senate.
We'll stop him and we'll defund the Department of Homeland Security after they stupidly passed the Cromnibus Bill.
And then they ended up funding illegal, unconstitutional amnesty because they didn't want to get blamed for a government shutdown.
What are the two issues that just locked in this 80% number with American people?
They were that issue you just talked about, Sean, the amnesty issue, the executive amnesty issue, not fighting it like we said we would.
And they were forcing the TPA vote when the president was in trouble and we knew it was a bad agreement and not holding out for something better.
Those two things sealed the deal, and that's when the American people said, you know what, we're sick of this.
And frankly, and you're a troublemaker because you're just saying, hey, we made these promises.
Let's keep the promises we made.
Am I wrong?
No, you're right because our job, we make this job way too complicated.
You get elected to Congress.
Go do what you told the voters you were going to do.
Do it with a smile on your face.
After all, we live in America, but do it.
What's so hard about what you're saying?
That's all I want.
I'm not asking for any more than that.
Because sometimes the establishment interest, the corporate interest, the consultant group, and all the lobbyists in Washington, they just want the band to keep playing on.
They want to keep the same game going.
So Trump is right.
The whole thing is corrupt.
The whole kit and caboodle.
Republicans are almost as bad as the Democrats, if not worse, except for the Freedom Caucus.
You are my only hope in D.C.
I don't have hope in any of these people anymore.
Well, we're going to keep fighting, Sean.
I mean, that's all we can do, and that's what the American people have asked us to do.
By the way, could you imagine if I ran for Congress?
I bet you every Republican establishment guy would donate money to my opponent.
But you'd have 40 members of the Freedom Caucus donating to your campaign, brother.
Hey, listen, I would spend my own money, and just to piss them off, I'd show up and say, I'm here.
Hi.
Hey, guys.
I'll pay for pizza.
Let's have a little talk, a little chat.
Anyway, I love what you're doing.
You've got some guts.
Congressman Jim Jordan, I wouldn't mind seeing you speaker one day.
All right, man.
Well, good to talk with you, Sean.
You have a great time.
Let me guess my signal's breaking up on you.
Is that what you're going to say?
Hannity, your signal's breaking up.
I can't hear you.
All right, brother.
Thank you.
Take care, man.
See ya.
He hates when I do that.
And I do it every time.
I'm so mean.
Matt Boyle of Breitbart will join us at the top of the next hour.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
We'll say hi to Verlin in Chicago on the answer.
Verlin, how are you, my friend?
Glad you called.
And wow, you finally have seen the light.
You're finally on Hannity's team.
You're finally understanding that Obama failed black America, which you and I have argued about for years now.
And now you understand that Sean Hannity was right all along, don't you?
You were right.
I can't defend it any longer.
But I'm going to tell you something.
This country is in for a real disaster if we elect Hillary Clinton.
Now, look, Obama, he kept his stuff veiled.
It took journalists like you to be able to look it up.
The average Joe like me couldn't see it.
But Hillary has been on display for 40 years of her prejudice against black people and the things that's in her background.
I mean, it's like in full view.
But what I want to hop about today is I am so sick and tired of when Hillary stumbles, they projected us to Donald Trump.
She is sick, falling all over herself, having ectoplasmic attacks.
Now Donald Trump got to prove he's not sick.
Her foundation is crooked.
Whoa, whoa, whoa stop for one sec.
What did you call those attacks?
Eptoplectic attacks.
Some neural, something neural in her.
Eptoplectic diseases or something.
You mean neurological?
You're talking about she's had like something.
It's not the flu, and it's not pneumonia.
It's something else that's wrong with Tom.
All right, so a doctor that I trust the most really believes it's neurological.
And not only the deep vein thrombosis clots, but also the venal cerebral thrombosis.
That he thinks she probably had a series of mini strokes, which is why we're never going to get the MRI because they would show up on the MRI, which is why the neurological exam, not the epicological exam or whatever it is you're calling it, is key to understanding whatever issues she may have.
But, you know, Verlin, don't gloss over one of the most important things you've ever said in all the years you've called this program.
And that is that Sean Hannity was right about Barack Obama.
Yeah.
Yeah, you were right, man.
I was right.
And I was right about.
And he hasn't helped the black community.
A 58% increase, black Americans on food stamps.
20% increase, black Americans out of the labor force.
Now, that's Sean Hannity that saw this coming a mile away.
So you trust me now more than ever, right?
Yes, I do.
But please, please, I know I will sidetrack for one second.
Let me tell you the real, the true reason why I called.
Listen, all she has is this race car, this stupid race car that she's trying to play on Trump.
They tried to put David Duke on him.
Now, he doesn't know David Duke.
He doesn't have pictures.
He never said David Duke was his mentor.
She actually hung out with a Ku Kuzclair member that was her mentor that she would not disavow.
Now, since David Duke couldn't stick, they want to put the birth of the birth of thing on him like he started it.
And they just want to go full birth of mode.
Sean, I am going on a fasting diet of TV media, except for you.
No more TV.
I'm only listening to AM radio.
I'm done because everybody is surrounding this woman like she's the queen of England trying to take up for this woman.
And I'm just sick and tired of it.
I don't even know what to do.
It's just all the race car.
That's all Democrats got left to play is the race car.
And I'm done with TV until the.
Oh, I'm on 10 Eastern, 9 o'clock Chicago time.
Don't forget my show.
Listen, I have a family to feed here.
I got kids to send to college here.
I still got working, good working years in me, Verlin.
I need you.
I'm watching.
All right, my friend.
Listen, one of the hardest things in life, one of the hardest things in life is to admit when we're wrong.
And I really did, with all my heart, mind, and soul, try and warn this country how bad Obama would be.
I tried my best.
I really did.
And I even, at points, and I've told this story before, I'll even say one of the people that called me was Newt Gingrich.
People have said, you're just hitting this too hard.
You're going to ruin your career.
Remember that, Linda, back in the day?
And I just said, well, then so be it, because it's true.
So be it, because somebody needs to do it.
You know, in normal media circles, I would have won some major awards for the investigative background work on Obama.
Unfortunately, I was more right than I knew.
And Verlin, having somebody that was such a strong supporter of his like yours, you know, admit that this doesn't work is it's not gratifying to me in an ego sense.
It's gratifying to me in the sense that, you know, hopefully we can learn from this mistake and we can get America back on the right trajectory and get Americans back to work and become energy independent and have better national security and vet our refugees and secure our borders and fix our broken educational system.
It hurts inner city America more than anybody else.
You know, fix our health care plan that they screwed us on, keeping our doctors and plans and all this nonsense.
And I just think it's rewarding to me that you have the strength and the courage to do that.
And I'm giving you a hard time over the years.
Yeah, but you were right, man.
I was all I can say is you was right.
So, I mean, it's better to be right than wrong.
And I hate as much as you do.
As a conservative, I resent this constant, you know, predictable, you know, playbook that Republicans are racist and sexist and homophobic.
Let me ask you about your friends and your family.
Do they also feel the same way as you do?
About Donald Trump.
Yeah, I mean, I'm an eyeball in the family as far as taking up the Trump.
Yeah, they feel the same way.
And what about the Farrakhan friends you have?
Well, listen, my stepbrother is a Muslim.
He converted back when his brother got killed.
He had to latch on to something.
So he's a Muslim and he likes Farrakhan.
He's the only one really that likes Farrakhan.
Next time you see him, ask him, do you really believe Louis Farrakhan was transported to the mother wheel that floats above the air?
No, now that he does not agree.
He does not agree with the mother wheel.
The mothership.
All right, man.
Appreciate it, Verlin.
Last time I went to Chicago, I was almost certain I was going to get killed.
I thought it was a feta complaint.
Just walked off the plane and said, here I am.
Come get me.
Well, nothing happened.
I'm just kidding.
All right, back to our phones as we say hi to Allison is in Tucson.
Allison, how are you?
We're glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
Yeah, I work as a geriatric nurse, and I just thought I'd provide a little insight that I haven't heard.
I have not heard this angle quite described when listening to your medical team and the different people, the doctors and stuff that have called in.
I agree with, it was the cardiologist, I think, that called yesterday, Dr. Tony, or he was talking about how her problem is not cardiac, and I agree with that.
I've worked with a lot of cardiac patients.
I agree with, I think it was Dr. Kelly, who you had on last night, who thinks it's neurologic.
And I really do think that Hillary probably has not early, but probably advanced Parkinson's.
And it might not be presenting in exactly the typical way, but the coughing fits are actually a sign of problem swallowing.
She might be choking on her saliva and people that have Parkinson, and also the fact that she probably has had a stroke.
I mean, you've talked about the blood clot in her brain.
Usually when people have a blood clot in their brain, that's called a stroke.
That can also, you know, inhibit your swallowing.
So I think that's a good question.
I'm pretty convinced.
I'm pretty convinced it's neurological.
I think a lot of it has to do with some type of neurological, probably likely either a TIA or a series of mini strokes related to the Venal cerebral thrombosis and the blood clotting up and around the brain.
That's what I think.
And that's coming from the best doctor I know.
And I agree with that.
And I think that from the problems that she's had, I believe, and they did say that they did say that she has bacterial pneumonia.
Bacterial pneumonia is not contagious.
I know some people have said that her pneumonia is contagious.
If it's viral, then it is, but they did confirm that it was bacterial.
That's very rare.
The only time people get bacterial pneumonia is if they aspirate or if they inhale anything into their lungs.
And so with all the coughing fits that she's had, and I think probably some problems swallowing, I think that's how she got the pneumonia that she got.
It doesn't just happen.
People don't just get pneumonia.
Your immune system has to be compromised.
And like I said, if people do get pneumonia, it's usually viral.
It starts as a virus.
It's not bacterial.
That's very uncommon.
And the only people that get that are people that have Parkinson's or have stroke or some problem where they can't swallow.
And so I haven't heard any of the doctors say that specifically.
But I did hear, I mean, from her campaign, they say that they confirmed it was bacterial.
I know Bill Clinton said something about her having the flu, but that wasn't ever confirmed.
Well, my wife nearly died from bacterial pneumonia.
I mean, probably was within, according to our doctor, 24 hours of dying.
So, Allison, nurses are really special people because you take care of those of us that are sick.
And I think there's like a very special circle in heaven for you nurses, okay?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I have one more question.
I don't know whether you've heard or not, and it might be an answer to your question when she did almost collapse and she wanted to go to Chelsea Clinton's house in her apartment.
Did you hear or have you heard that her apartment is actually also the same, shares the same address as a home?
I know I read that.
I read that on the internet somewhere, so I didn't really take it at fault.
I just took it at face value, didn't report it.
My doctor suggested that there's no way that somebody that had pneumonia and fainted and collapsed the way she did didn't get serious medical attention, probably at the daughter's apartment.
Anyway, good call, Allison.
Thank you.
Greg in Indiana next on the Sean Hannity show.
What's up, Greg?
How are you, my friend?
Mr. Hannity, you're a great American.
It's a pleasure to speak with you.
Hey, the pleasure's all mine.
What's on your mind today?
Well, I was listening to Mr. Obama the other day as he was stumping.
Actually, he's taking a month off the stump for Hillary Clinton.
And he was talking about Donald Trump not being qualified to be president, and he could never be a champion for working people and things of that nature.
And first of all, I was very insulted by his words because he's the most unqualified person that's ever been president.
For him to say that Mr. Trump's unqualified and can't champion for working people is a disgrace.
I spent 25 years in the Teamsters union in the trucking industry around Chicago, Illinois, and we never went back faster than we did while Mr. Obama was president.
Mm-hmm.
Well, listen.
You know, how long were you a Teamster?
25 years.
You know, it's very interesting that, you know, what I think I like the most about Trump's agenda, and I think this is where the Republican Party has lost touch, especially on issues involving immigration and not pushing for the wall that they said they were going to build in 2006 and getting it done.
But what frustrates me is, you know who's getting hurt in all of this?
The American worker.
American worker.
If you have 11 million more people in this country illegally that are willing to work in some cases below minimum wage, you're taking jobs away from Americans.
You're driving down wages.
And you know who's suffering?
The people in Wisconsin, the people of Michigan.
Flint, Michigan used to have 80,000 GM workers.
Now they have 8,000.
You know, it breaks my heart to see Ford is going to spend $1.6 billion in Mexico.
I'm not buying a Ford car right now.
No way.
It's not happening.
I'm sorry.
I just support.
I've said this for years, even though, and by the way, there are Toyota, Honda, factories here in America.
I'll buy them.
I want to support American workers.
And if it means I pay a little bit more, I'm going to pay a little bit more for my car.
Because those are my fellow Americans.
This is how they put bread on their table.
As long as they build a good car, I don't care.
You know, I buy Cadillac escalades one after another, you know, every three years.
And that's what I buy.
I think I've had 10 in a row.
Everyone in the studio is laughing at me because they can't believe I'm such a creature of habit.
I eat the same lunch every day, Campbell's soup.
It's only 160 calories.
And I drive the same car, but I want to put Americans to work.
I worked in the construction industry.
I know what it's like, brother.
I'm telling you, it's hard.
And that 95 million Americans out of the labor force are real people.
The 12 million more Americans on food stamps are real people, real families.
The 8 million more in poverty are real families.
And this has been a disaster for them.
Anyway, you got the last word.
It's been going on for the last 25 years, and Mr. Bill Clinton is the one that signed the North American Free Trade Agreement.
And that started the export of American jobs.
And 25 years later, this is just the result of that bad policy.
Now we would invite Mrs. Bill Clinton into the White House and she's going to make it better.
I think only Trump can make it better.
If not Trump, who?
And if not now, when I hope every blue-collar worker and every industrial town and city that has been struggling and suffering because of bad government policies, here's your message.
Because those are the people that I care about.
Those are the people that I want back to work.
Those are the people that have suffered the most needlessly.
And Republicans haven't helped them either.
Not to mention her in the same breath, but Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy.
I finished it.
I finished it.
You know what I mean?
President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period.
Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again.
Thank you.
You don't believe that Senator Obama's a Muslim?
Of course not.
I mean, that's, you know, there is no basis for that.
You know, I take him on the basis of what he says.
And, you know, there isn't any reason to doubt that.
You said you take Senator Obama at his word that he's not a Muslim.
You don't believe that he's a Muslim.
No, I'm not aware of it for him, right?
No, there is nothing to base that on, as far as I know.
Didn't Hillary dump on Obama a few days ago for playing up his Indonesian roots?
So what's she up to here?
Is she pushing how great he is for having been run in Indonesia or what?
Or simply reminding everybody about his background, his Islamic background?
What it goes back to is the Clinton campaign, and not Clinton herself or her staff, but her supporters.
As she was losing in the sort of really bitter spring of 2008, some of her passionate supporters were kind of grasping at straws for reasons he could be ineligible to run for president.
Some of them said, well, maybe his father's a foreigner.
Maybe that means he's not a citizen.
And they got very excited about that.
Then they looked at the law, and that turned out not to be true.
And this was sort of a backup strategy.
Oh, well, what if he was actually born in Kenya?
And it was ludicrous.
And they produced ludicrous forged birth certificates and things like this.
And this kind of bubbled through the 08 campaign.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, Donald Trump putting to rest.
Hillary wanted to start this fight today, and of course, ignoring her own campaign and what they were up to and her surrogates were up to back in 2008.
By the way, did you see, you know what's on AOL, their third top story of the day?
Sean Hannity, I'd love to sue CNN for slander.
It's their third top story of the day.
It must be, is it a slow news day?
I don't think it's that slow a newsday.
Well, but they did slander me.
They did smear me.
I'm going to call David Boyce and see what he says.
Baskets are a popular phrase.
Let's use baskets for this.
There's a basket of legitimate questioning about Hillary Clinton's health.
Stop right there.
He said when I was questioning it, you know, with the videos of her knowing what she told the FBI, that she couldn't remember being briefed on cybersecurity, when I brought up the videos of her falling and the concussion and the fact that all these examples of her being helped upstairs, et cetera.
Well, then that was called a conspiracy theory by the Clinton News Network.
Anyway, play the rest.
Figures fit into that basket.
They're right to wonder about her health in some cases.
Wait, there's this other.
But I guess it's not really right to wonder because you said it was a conspiracy theory.
Okay, but then there's this other.
Basket, a truly deplorable basket.
Sean Hannity fits into it.
So is Rush Limbaugh.
These are people who bring up rumors and innuendo about Clinton's health and have been doing it for years.
I'm not saying Hannity or Limbaugh fit into this necessarily, but they, some of these figures want her to be sick.
They want her to be dying.
They want her to be on her deathbed.
It's wishful thinking.
They want her to be dying.
They want her to be on her deathbed.
Who thinks like that, number one?
Now he says, I'm not saying Hannity or Limbaugh fit into these necessarily, but some of these figures want her sick.
They want her to be on her deathbed.
Who would ever want that?
Anyway, here with us is our friend Matt Boyle, who is with, of course, Breitbart.
He's a Washington political editor for Breitbart.com.
How are you, sir?
I'm doing well, Sean.
How are you?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Well, I mean, isn't it magnificent watching the entire mainstream media melt down in front of us over the past 24 hours?
Well, I don't know what's better watching them melt down or the articles I'm reading about establishment Republicans.
Oh, my God, Trump can win.
And I'm like, they're now just openly advocating for Hillary Clinton.
Just shows where they're coming from.
Yeah, the Clinton News Network is 100% in the tank for Hillary Clinton.
They're now completely exposed.
Every reporter, anchor, producer, editor, staffer at that network is working for the Hillary Clinton campaign at this point.
The difference between them and people like us, Sean, is that we're open and honest and transparent about our political beliefs.
What we want at Breitbart, we're 100% transparent about it.
CNN falsely claims to be objective.
They hide behind the inaccurate claim that they are objective so that they can continue to further their progressive agenda and work to elect Hillary Clinton.
That's why we actually did a poll at Breitbart here.
We did a Bright with our partners, Gravis Marketing, and asked Americans if they trust CNN to give them objective news and analysis.
A whopping 50%, a majority of Americans said no.
That comes also right before the Gallup poll last week where 68% of Americans said they have none at all or very little trust in the mainstream media to accurately report the news.
The media is about as popular as Congress at this point, and Trump's a genius for going after them.
Listen, I also think today, you know, if you watch the lead up, and I was flipping back across the channels, the lead up to today's big announcement, Donald Trump to address birtherism.
Wow.
And I'm watching, and I'm watching, and I'm watching.
And you get one line out of Trump, and the entire press conference, which is what he really wanted covered, was covered.
The headline on Drudge today was Trump trolls the media.
It was masterful.
Absolutely.
Magnificent.
It was a magnificent moment.
It really was.
Anyway, so look, if you really look at the history of this, though, in the background of this, you know, if you read the Washington Post, for example, they're saying, well, Donald Trump lied in saying that Hillary or anyone associated with the 2008 campaign ever advanced the charge that Obama was not born in the U.S.
Well, that's not exactly true because there was a Telegraph article as early as 2008 that a Clinton supporter passed around an email that questioned where Obama was born.
Barack Obama's.
Just today, Sean, Patty Solise Doyle, who's the top Democrat strategist on Twitter, admitted that Mark Penn, that Democratic strategist who wrote that memo, was working for the Clinton campaign.
And he was fired after he sent that memo around.
But he did so on behalf of the Clinton campaign.
I mean, there's proof right there.
Everybody knows that Hillary Clinton's campaign for the money.
Mark Penn has worked for them for years.
That's the truth.
Right, exactly.
And the birther movement actually started long before the 2008 campaign, but it was Hillary Clinton who brought it into the mainstream.
And it was Donald Trump who ended it.
Donald Trump is 100% correct when he says that when he forced President Obama to put out his long-form birth certificate, and people can think whatever they want to about that.
That was back in 2011.
At this point, I think it's kind of a moot point and a dead issue, and it's only being kicked around by the mainstream media, which are, again, all working for Hillary Clinton and wants Trump to lose.
But ultimately speaking, it's pretty clear that it was Trump's actions when he forced the president to finally address this and deal with it and put out the documents that finally.
Listen, I'll even take it a step further.
It is the only time I ever in my life had any contact with Hillary Clinton supporters.
You know what message I was getting?
Back in 2007 and 8, I was kind of a lone voice out here talking about the radical roots of Obama and Reverend Wright and Frank Marshall Davis and black liberation theology and Ayers and Dorn.
And I was trying to warn the country that this is going to be a disaster.
I wish I turned out to be wrong, but it's probably even worse a disaster than I ever thought.
Well, guess which campaign was encouraging me back in the day to do all this?
There was only one.
The Hillary Clinton campaign.
The Hillary Clinton campaign.
Word was getting back to me.
Yeah, you're the only one.
We really admire your work.
Pretty interesting, right?
Yeah, no, they were 100% behind the whole thing.
They were pushing it.
They were, you know, again, I think it might be a little bit of a stretch to say Hillary Clinton was the original birther, but she was one of the original birthers.
Her and her campaign were pushing this back in 2008 because they were doing anything they could.
Look, Hillary Clinton is running a policy-free campaign for the presidency right now.
Donald Trump is going out there over the past two months and has given a series of detailed policy addresses from his economic address on Thursday this week to his child care address on Tuesday evening in Aston, Pennsylvania, to his immigration address in Phoenix a couple weeks ago, to his military address in Philadelphia, and so on.
So many more ideas.
And his campaign is filled.
He's actually the real candidate of hope and change, believe it or not.
And, you know, he's clearly the candidate of change, and he's offering hope to people, real hope, real change.
Hillary Clinton has nothing.
All she's doing is just slandering and attacking Donald Trump.
That is the only thing she's running on right now is that she's not Donald Trump and she's just attacking him.
Well, this is what I keep saying.
Look, when I interviewed Trump this week for TV, I said to him, look, are you ready?
I said, Hillary can't run on the economy of Obama's, which she openly supports.
She can't run on her foreign policy record.
She's not going to run on honesty and trustworthiness because she has none and ethics she can't run on.
So the only thing I see in her arsenal is to attack you.
And I said, she's going to try and aggravate, agitate, irritate, upset, hurt your feelings, piss you off, and make you bubble and fizz like Alka Seltzer.
I said, are you ready to deal with that?
And he said he is.
And look, I think he's showing us that he is.
I think he's showing us that he is.
Look, today's events with that press conference today show that Trump is ready for this.
He was ready for what the media was going to do on Hillary Clinton's behalf, and he trolled them into covering veterans.
Now they're all denouncing what Trump did by bringing up Medal of Honor winners.
Yeah, exactly.
What are they going to do with that?
Let's go back to what Hillary says, though, in these quotes that she made on 60 Minutes.
So, as far as I know, and then saying, of course, you know, there isn't any reason to doubt that.
And you don't think he's a Muslim, do you?
And you don't believe.
No, no, why would I?
There's nothing to base that on, as far as I know.
And then, of course, the infamous Mark Penn memo in 2007.
He was Clinton's chief strategist.
And the campaign memo.
There's all the proof you need.
I mean, she was using weasel words around the interview, so it wouldn't get pinned on her.
But it was pretty clear that it was her and her bag men that were pushing this rumor.
And they were doing everything they could to try to try to push it out there into the mainstream because they figured it would be enough to try to tank Obama's surging candidacy.
It's actually very similar to the way Hillary Clinton is running against Donald Trump right now.
She's pushing out lies, innuendo, and smears, and using the media to do it for her and her political henchmen, like David Brock.
The entire mainstream media continues to carry every talking point that David Brock hands to them, and they never question his motivation.
Look, they're running, it's the same tactics she lost in 2008, and now we're seeing Trump surge in the polls as Hillary Clinton continues to get exposed in front of the American people.
What do you think of John?
Well, let me go back to the Mark Penn memo.
I don't want to understate this.
For those who may be joining us on their way home now, quote, his basic roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited.
I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values.
Every speech should contain the line that you were born in the middle of America to middle class, to the middle class in the middle of the last century.
Let's explicitly own American in our programs, the speeches, and the values.
He doesn't.
Now, Penn's memo didn't actually raise the issue of the citizenship, but he wrote it as a strategy.
He wrote it to basically say it without saying it, which I think tells a lot.
Yeah, that was their plan.
And that was exactly their plan.
And it's exactly the same way that Hillary Clinton is now running at Trump.
And she's running right up to the line of calling him a racist and a sexist and a homophobe and all these other Islamophobe, whatever other words she can come up with without actually, and actually in this case, she's actually been saying it.
But look, Hillary Clinton is running against the American electorate for the presidency right now.
She literally called half of Donald Trump's supporters deplorable and irredeemable.
That is an un-American value.
It is an American value to support the idea that anybody can seek redemption and attain redemption.
I think the irredeemable part of that quote is even worse than the basket of deplorables.
And I think we're going to see that part of it play out over the next couple of weeks.
I was talking to Governor Penn at the Values Voter Summit, and that's what he was saying.
I think that Hillary Clinton has really, really stepped in here.
We're seeing a sea change in the polls.
And again, the sleazy tactics of the career politicians and these political consultants that Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton have surrounded themselves for the better part of three decades with are coming out to bear right in front of mainstream Americans' eyes.
They're seeing it.
It's being laid bare right in front of us.
We know what they are now.
They can't hide behind objectivity anymore.
It doesn't exist.
It's all being exposed.
And because of the fact that Trump is exposing it, he's surging in the polls.
You know, I got to tell you, we're out there.
What do you think of all these never-Trump people I've been fighting with?
I think you've written about it.
You wrote me once you found it amusing.
But my line is they own it.
She gets elected.
They sabotage Trump.
She appoints Supreme Court justices.
She doesn't eliminate Obamacare.
She gets coal miners fired and energy companies out of business.
And we don't have a wall and we don't vet refugees.
They own all her decisions.
You agree with that?
Yeah, I agree with that 100%.
If somehow Hillary Clinton comes back from the brain care, she's actually slipping pretty bad.
But if she comes back and wins this thing, it will be because of the Never Trump people.
What is Governor Kasich doing meeting with President Obama today?
What was the purpose of that?
That's silly.
Probably telling him how to win how Hillary can win Ohio.
Right.
Why would I think otherwise?
Trump's up five points in two of the recent polls.
But ultimately speaking, all of these Never Trump people would be responsible for it if that happened.
That being said, I do think that Trump can beat her regardless.
I think he's got the momentum at his back.
He doesn't need them at this point.
So ultimately speaking, if Trump wins this election, it'll be in spite of them, in spite of their sabotage, and show their waning influence.
I agree.
All right, Matt Boyle, great work as always.
I enjoyed hanging out with you.
Where were we hanging out that time?
It was at one of the debates or something.
I think it was at the convention.
At the convention, that's where.
All right.
Yeah, because I had my Sensei bodyguard with me.
He was ready to kill you when you came up and gave me a hug.
He's great, yeah.
He is great.
All right, Matt, appreciate it.
We need to get things done for you.
Please know this.
For any who are hurting, things are going to turn around.
Tomorrow will be better.
It'll be much better.
The pastor and I were talking about riding up the street, and we see all those closed stores and people sitting down on the sidewalk and no jobs and no activity.
We'll get it turned around.
We'll get it turned around, Pastor.
Believe me.
We're going to win again as a country, and we're going to win again for all of our people.
I want to work with you to renew the bonds of trust between citizens and the bonds of faith that make our nation strong.
America has been lifted out of many of its most difficult hours through the miracle of faith and through people like Bishop Jackson and Dr. Jackson.
So important.
People have no idea how important they are.
Now, in these hard times for our country, let us turn again to our Christian heritage to lift up the soul of our nation.
I am so deeply grateful to be here today, and it is my prayer that America of tomorrow, and I mean that, that the America of tomorrow will be one of unity, togetherness, and peace.
And perhaps we can add the word prosperity.
Okay, prosperity.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
It's now becoming a hallmark of the Trump campaign.
His outreach to black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, minorities.
He's looking at statistics.
Economically, under Obama, disproportionately, minorities in America have paid the price.
They are disproportionately represented in the number of Americans now, 95 million out of the labor force, disproportionately impacted by the worst recovery since the 40s.
Disproportionately impacted by the lowest home ownership rate in 51 years.
Disproportionately impacted by the negative impacts of Obamacare, not keeping their doctors and plans, and on average, a family paying $4,100 more per year, not saving $2,500 per year.
Disproportionately impacted increase of 58% black Americans on food stamps since Obama's been president.
A 20% increase black Americans out of the labor force since he's been president.
The worst schools in America seem to be in America's inner cities.
And there is this mysterious reluctance, resistance, this unholy alliance between the Democratic Party and teachers' unions, and they continue to institutionalize Mediocrity at best in our nation's school systems.
And unfortunately, our kids, we pay more per capita than any other country on the face of the earth, any industrialized country, and we're 35th in results.
You can't do worse than this.
Anyway, joining us now is Makeda Duncanson, and she is a spokeswoman for Black Americans for Trump, and Corey Gordon is the co-leader, one of the founders of Black Americans for Trump.
Welcome both of you to the program.
Hi, Hannity.
Hi, Hannity.
Who said that, Corey?
You cracked me up.
I don't know what it's called.
That's all right.
Call me whatever you want.
I don't care.
You know, it really bothers me, and we've seen it in this election cycle already.
You know, we have Bill Clinton out there saying, well, I know Donald Trump saying, let's make America great again.
Well, we southerners, we know what that's code for.
Meanwhile, I have a tape of him saying we'll make America great again a million times.
So I guess he was by his own definition.
And then you got Hillary, you know, mentioning the Klan ads and all this nonsense.
I just gave you statistics.
More than any other demographic group in the country, black Americans have been hurt under Barack Obama's policies and Hillary Clinton's policies.
So my question to you is: do you think the black community as a whole appreciates the outreach of Trump and understands that things didn't turn out the way they were supposed to under Barack Obama?
Well, Makeda, do you want to answer this or should I go ahead?
You can go right ahead.
Okay, well, personally, right now, the Democratic Party has hammered in identity politics with the black community, and they trigger word the word, they use the word racist act like a trigger word.
So, like, for example, I can say like the sky is blue, but if the Democratic Party says that's racist, all of a sudden it's just you're back and then you're back in slavery.
They act like they're back in slavery and act like they're picking cotton.
You know what I mean?
Well, I, I, all, listen, listen, if we, you know, what I love about Trump going into black churches is because I think he has described them accurately.
You know, this is where communities are strongest.
This is what makes America great.
That is the background, the backbone of any community and family.
And what he's saying is together in Flint, Michigan, where they lost, what, 72,000 GM jobs, 72,000.
And, you know, he used the line and he was making a point.
It used to be we made cars in Flint and we couldn't drink the water in Mexico.
And now we're making cars in Mexico and you can't drink the water in Flint.
And sadly, it's true.
In Detroit, Makeda, they're bulldozing entire neighborhoods to consolidate services because entire neighborhoods have been decimated because of bad governance.
Yes, and it's very sad because I've been contacting people in the neighborhood of these inner cities and they're actually listening when I mention Trump.
They're not like, oh, no, he's racist.
He's xenophobia.
But they're like, honestly, Obama hasn't been helping us.
We're worse than who we were four years ago, eight years ago.
It's very worse.
You know, if you start at this premise, and this is what I particularly like about, you know, I learned a lot about the civil rights movement when I lived in Atlanta.
I'll tell you guys this story.
So I lived in Atlanta.
My first day on the air in 1992, it was just before the election of Bill Clinton.
I was welcomed by the mayor at the time, Maynard Jackson, on the air.
He called into my show, was a fan of the radio station, invited me to his city.
And over the course of the years that I was there, I got to know people like Joe Lowry and had many a fight with him, but I loved him.
And guys like Andy Young and Maynard Jackson and later Bill Campbell.
And I got to know people like Hosea Williams and, you know, really, really wonderful people.
And John Lewis and even Cynthia McKinney.
I mean, they all knew who I am.
And while we disagreed politically, you cannot, you cannot dismiss the unbelievable courage and bravery that that movement showed America at a time of segregation, at a time of, you know, real hostility in this country when fire hoses are being pointed at people and they would march and they made the world a better place because of their courage.
I mean, it had a profound impact on me.
These guys were amazingly courageous.
They're just wrong politically.
I used to say this to Lowry all the time, and he used to roll his eyes at me.
But you know what I'm seeing too, Sean?
I am seeing right now, like I was saying before, the black community right now is a little bit triggered, but they're slowly starting to awaken to what the Democratic Party is actually doing to them.
And they're actually like a lot of truths have come out in this election.
For example, like before in school, you're taught that the Democratic Party is a party for the blacks and they've always fought for the blacks.
And yeah, they will say, well, yeah, it's the Republican Party that actually Abraham Lincoln's a Republican, but you know, the party switched sides, which is a total lie.
But now that you actually like look at it, but now people are actually starting to pay attention, actually look at history and think, wait, that's not true.
The Republican Party is the party that's always fought for black people, and the Democratic Party, for the last 19 years.
Well, I mean, you know, Lyndon Johnson.
Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act.
Hillary Clinton's mentor, the person she cites as her mentor, Robert K.K. Kirk, the former Klansman.
And he's a former Klansman.
Now, no former Klansman is going to be Sean Hannity's mentor.
Exactly.
You know, and I'll tell you another thing.
And then J. William Fulbright, a known segregationist, that's Bill Clinton's mentor.
And when he was governor of Arkansas and it fit his political needs, well, didn't he put up the Confederate flag there in the state of Arkansas?
I think he did.
Yes, he did.
He actually did.
You know, and I'm like, it just.
They already told us they're racist, though, with that whole Make America Great thing.
Great again, like comment that he made the other last week.
It just really, really pisses me off that as a conservative who believes that God created all of us.
As a Christian, I believe that.
That the race card is played against my philosophy, my ideology, which is one that believes in the inherent abilities of every human being, that we're all made by the same God, and that the only issues we have is we are wasting so much human potential because of a failed education system, a Democratic Party beholden to that institutionalized failure, and a feeling among Democrats that they can gin up the vote every four years just by crying racism against people that aren't racist.
Drives me insane.
Do you see that, Makeda?
Yes.
What I've been seeing is that a lot of, especially black Americans, they've been actually trying to, you know, thrive in this country.
And it's pretty hard with all these policies we have in place.
You know, Obamacare was getting tagged.
No one can actually start their businesses and actually make changing in their communities.
So Trump is coming in and actually letting us know that we're not unheard.
He's actually giving a voice to the American people to change what's happening in Washington because the establishment candidates are once again going to put in these policies that's been hurting Americans for way too long.
You know, I agree.
And I think that if I hope the reception is warmly received, there are indications in polls now that Donald Trump could end up getting more of the black vote as a Republican than any of the eight previous Republican presidential candidates.
I'd love to see that.
I personally think he'll get over 30% of the black vote.
You really do.
Why do you think that?
Because right now, Hillary is starting to talk, and the more she talks, the more truths come out about them, and the further her pollen are sync, which we're witnessing right now.
What did you think about her Basket of Deplorables comment?
Very simple.
I thought that was rich.
I don't know.
No, it really isn't.
I mean, it's not surprising to me.
I mean, let's be honest, for the past year and a half, they've been insulting Trump supporters this entire time with the whole rally thing where when you go to Trump rally, the Trump supporters are getting attacked left and right, like to the point where a woman got egg.
People were getting sucker punched at the rally, but yet it's Trump's fault for his supporters getting attacked for exercising their First Amendment right to go support a presidential candidate.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's been happening for a year now.
I'm actually just happy that people are actually starting to get attention and people are starting to fight against it and actually start to hurt Hillary Clinton.
I think you're right.
And I think also her dishonesty, a lack of truthfulness.
Trump made that one statement on birtherism today.
You know, you know, whose campaign started that?
It was her campaign.
And everybody in the media is saying.
Yeah, I mean, it's amazing.
No, it's funny.
There's a video of Micah Kelly from MSNBC here and a few of her co-hosts talking about how in 2011 how Hillary Clinton was the one who started the burther movement.
And I'm proud of that.
And you got Mark Penn and Sid Vicious Blumenthal that are mentioned.
Well, listen, guys, thank you both.
We actually are doing a TV special.
I'm going to have Linda send your names over to my TV producer, and maybe you guys can join us for that.
I'm not going to tell you what it is right now.
I'd love to have you.
I'd be excited to.
Thank you, Sean.
Is it going to be like a town hall setting?
I'm not telling you everything because you've got to understand.
In my business, there are a bunch of very lazy people that have no creative thought process, and all they do is listen to this program and troll for ideas.
And as soon as I mention I'm doing something, you know, the next thing I know, they're trying to steal my idea.
Oh, try to claim it as their own, like the Democratic Party.
Yeah, I mean, if they just do their own work, I mean, it's like in school.
If you go in and take a test and you did your work, you're all good.
Sean, before you go.
Yeah, go ahead.
You take over.
You question me now.
Go ahead.
Whatever you want to ask.
No, do you notice that, like, everything Trump says, they go against him, but yet they end up adopting his ideas or something that he said hasn't come to fruition.
Like, it's happened several times with the whole Belgian thing, the whole NATO thing.
Now they cater NATO for terrorism or even the wall with the Mexican president.
Remember that one interview before, I forget, I think it was a Dallas shooting, where it was Barack Obama and it was the Mexican president speaking about, like, I guess the Mexican president started realizing that Donald Trump could maybe well be president and he started backing off and he started doing like, I guess, a dog whistle to Trump and saying, okay, we will play ball.
Well, that's what they always try and do.
I mean, by the way, look, if somebody asks for Sean, look at the birther issue.
And this was my only question.
I never really.
I never thought it was racist, to be honest.
If somebody says, well, where's your birth certificate, Hannity?
I'll say, okay, I'll go get it.
I was born in Metropolitan Hospital in New York, December 30th, 1961.
You know, it's not that hard.
I mean, what was so hard?
Why do we have to wait a year or two years for the stupid birth certificate?
No, and the thing is, they try to pass it off as racism.
There's two laws in this country in the Constitution that says that you have to be president.
You have to be over 35 and you have to be born on our soil.
Walt Ted Cruz is like, I guess he's trying to muddy the water a little bit.
Naturalized citizen.
But you have to be born in this country.
Let me ask you both this question because you're both obviously conservative in supporting Trump.
How do your friends and family, do they agree with you?
Well, my friends, personally, I've lost them all, but I've actually started to gain some truthers and people that actually want to make change.
And since then, my life has propelled in a nice way where I'm actually making a change, talking to people, having these conscious conversations, and bringing up the subject that, hey, America needs to be great again.
We have to be proud to be American.
Isn't that sad, though?
I mean, people you think are your friends, and just because you have a little political disagreement, they.
Listen, I got to tell you, I mean, I go to dinner sometimes, and I can sit down at a dinner, and I don't like to go to these dinners.
You know how your wife makes you go?
Right, Corey?
You understand this.
And so I'll sit down at the dinner table, and somebody I don't know, and I can look in their eye immediately tell that there's going to be a fight.
And then so, you know, they'll drop their first bomb, and I just sit there, and then they'll drop their second little bomb and see if I react.
Then my wife sees she knows what's coming, and she's like, oh, no, she'll either whisper or kick me and say, don't do it.
Don't.
Stop.
Just let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go.
And I'll let the third one go.
But if you're going to keep up, I'm going to finally unload and make you look stupid.
Yeah, you know, in the beginning for my support of Trump, I was actually like looking for it, looking for the debate, because my whole thing is you learn more from opposition than you learn from people agreeing with you.
And I like having debates with people views.
Yeah, no, I think it's amazing.
But what I'm not, but I've been able, from like the many different debates I've had on Facebook with my family on Twitter, I'm able to tell between who is actually has like a, even before I even start the conversation, who actually hates Trump because or has just policies versus who doesn't like Trump just because of what the media is saying.
You got to remember these keyboard warriors are really brave in their underwear in their basement, clinging to their teddy bears.
All right.
I got to run, guys.
Listen, I love talking to you.
I hope you can make the special.
I won't tell you what it is, but we'll tell you privately.
