Sean turned his attention today to the increasingly violent protests happening in Charlotte. "Our country looks bad to the world," offered Donald Trump after hearing today's news, "There is no right to engage in violent disruption or threaten the public safety or peace of others." "There is something really wrong if we can't stand up the obvious," an angry Sean mentioned, "The obvious here is that all of this violence needs to stop."

I glad you're with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of this extravaganza.
It's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we'd love to hear from you throughout the program.
We're going to go down to Charlotte at the bottom of this half hour.
Our friend DC McAllister is actually from there and is going to give us her take on the position on the ground.
It's so sad, isn't it, to see people acting once again the way they're acting.
17 cops injured the night before, what, six or seven last night.
You know, if that does not create in you, follow, let's start over the weekend.
We've got New York, we've got New Jersey, we've got all these incidents, radical Islamists, then the search goes on for another radical Islamist, and then you watch the politicians, you know, squirm and turn themselves into a pretzel and they can't decide or decipher, well, this was intentional.
We know it's intentional, but it's not related.
No indication it's, and it's certainly not foreign.
Don't let anybody tell you that it's related to radical Islam in any way because that's a rush to judgment and unfair.
That's sad, isn't it?
This is now the new reality, the world we live in.
President and Hillary Clinton insisting we got to take in more refugees.
Just their steadfast refusal to listen to the top national intelligence security experts our country has to offer that are all warning ISIS will infiltrate the refugee population.
Then we then we have another, let's see, we've had it in Ferguson, we've had it in Baltimore.
Same story.
You're watching the TV.
I did two nonstop hours last night.
What do we see?
We see cops being pelted with rocks and bottles and stores being looted just like the night before.
Now kudos to the governor of North Carolina.
Now he's calling in the National Guard, but we still don't know what to expect tonight.
We still don't.
And nobody, where's the president?
Where's Mr. Rush to judgment?
The Cambridge police acted stupidly.
If this was me 35, he could have been me 35 years ago in the Trayvon Martin case.
Trayvon could look like my son.
Where was he last night calming the waters and telling people, wait for the facts to come in here?
Now we have conflicting reports.
And by the way, by all indications, because the family has been brought in to see the video, I think that we know what's going to happen here.
We have two very different versions that have emerged.
One, the police say that the person killed, Keith Lamont Scott, disregarded repeated demands to drop his gun.
By the way, I know it shouldn't matter, but it does matter in the minds of people that see everything through a racial prism.
The cop happened to be black in this case, but I guess that doesn't matter.
Then, of course, you have other people, neighborhood residents, saying that he was holding a book.
Well, they found a gun and they found a holster on Keith Lamont Scott, and they have a video of it that they're going to show the family today.
And the family had gone out on Facebook.
I guess it was a sister or somebody.
And just, you know, for an hour ranting about how this person was killed in cold blood by the police.
Now, there's either one or the other.
It was either a book or a gun.
I doubt there's a book and a gun.
Now, if it turns out to be the gun and it turns out that they've got it on video and they don't want to release the video for obvious reasons, it's an ongoing investigation, then I guess we're going to know fairly soon what happened.
And there's only one presidential candidate that has the guts to actually say what needs to be said.
And that happens to be Donald Trump.
And he blasted what's going on in Charlotte, North Carolina.
You know, he was at an oil and gas fracking industry.
By the way, Hillary wants to put coal miners out of work and coal companies out of business.
She used to be for fracking.
Now she's against fracking because she's giving in to all the environmental extremists.
And of course, we know she's against oil drilling.
Do you know how many millions of high-paying jobs we can have for Americans if we pursue the policy of energy independence?
One of the smartest things we could do.
We're such a dumb country.
We have more natural gas, more coal, more oil than the Middle East combined, and we could fuel this country, the lifeblood of our economy, and help Western Europe for over 100 years, and we don't do it.
That makes us a pretty stupid people.
And then we're beholden to the Saudis and Middle Eastern countries for their oil.
No wonder why they're so rich.
Because we're stupid.
They're rich.
We're stupid.
They're smart.
We're dumb.
We're dependent on them.
They hate our guts.
It's a form of insanity the way this country is run.
Anyway, Trump said we honor and recognize the right of all Americans to peacefully assemble, to protest, to demonstrate.
But you don't have a right to engage in violent disruption, threaten the public safety and the peace of others.
And I'll add to that, nor do you have the right to destroy people's life dreams of building a business by robbing and looting stores.
What does that have to do with this case?
All it is is opportunists seeing a chance to go out there and rob and steal from innocent people.
I mean, you've got to be kidding me here.
And nobody has the courage, the wherewithal, the understanding, the wisdom, the insight to just state the obvious or they don't want to offend a particular, what, a particular voting group?
What's going on here?
There's something really, really wrong if we can't just stand up and state the obvious.
And the obvious in this case is that this needs to be stopped.
You know, and Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump gives aid and comfort to the enemies.
We're talking about the terrorist.
I'm watching what's happening here last night, and it's breaking my heart.
You cannot watch this and not have a sense of profound and deep sadness that once again, America has got to watch this madness unfold in an American city.
Here we have an African-American police officer defending himself against an armed black suspect who refused to drop his gun, which wouldn't and shouldn't be the least bit controversial, but apparently it is.
And in the face of what could certainly be determined as a legitimate police action, assuming that this video, I'm sure they wouldn't invite the family in if they didn't have video that actually proved what I said is true.
Now the family's going to see that it wasn't a book, but it was a gun that he had.
And in the face of all of this, you have to ask, where is the leadership in this country?
Where's Hillary Clinton in this issue?
Well, Hillary Clinton rushed to judgment the same way Obama has rushed to judgment in previous cases.
And, you know, the Cambridge police acted stupidly.
Let's have a beer summit and let's all celebrate that I screwed up.
I won't say I'm sorry.
I won't admit I'm wrong.
I'm too prideful and radical and rigid for that.
So we'll just have a beer summit.
We'll let the media come and we'll call it a day.
And then in the Trayvon Martin case, that could have been me 35 years ago.
Well, I guess maybe when he was a member of the Choom gang smoking pot every day and doing whatever else he was doing, I guess maybe it could have been him.
I don't know.
Or it could have been my son.
And here's the president.
He is a constitutional attorney.
And in Cambridge, he rushed to judgment without any facts, without any evidence presented, without any due process, none of that, no presumption of innocence.
Well, now we got Hillary Clinton doing the same thing here.
Speaking yesterday at a campaign event in Orlando, Hillary Clinton called the shooting death of black men at the hands of police in Tulsa and Charlotte unbearable.
It is in many ways that it is unbearable.
Then she said, there is still much we don't know about what happened in the incidents, but we do know we have two more names to add to the list of African Americans killed by police officers in these encounters.
It's unbearable and it needs to become intolerable.
Okay, now the president rushed to judgment, remember, in the case of Michael Brown, and then we had what happened in Ferguson, and then in the case of Freddie Gray, and then we had what happened in Baltimore.
And it's the same scenario kind of unfolding right before our very eyes.
Now I ask the question: okay, how does a president rush to judgment without due process, without any evidence, without a presumption of innocence, when we got a guy on tape robbing a store, intimidating a clerk, and in the end, if they would have waited instead of rushing to judgment, we had black eyewitnesses in Ferguson, Missouri that defended Darren Wilson's account of what happened.
And in fact, it was Michael Brown that was the aggressor, Michael Brown who fought Darren Wilson for the gun inside of the cop car where the first shot went off.
Then Michael Brown ran away, and then Michael Brown charged back at Darren Wilson.
And Darren Wilson did the only thing he could possibly do, and that's defend himself.
And that's why he wasn't indicted in that particular case.
Now, we were told to lie, hands up, don't shoot.
We were told to lie, he was shot in the back.
We were told to lie in this case.
I'm betting I'm just going out on a limb here based on the fact that they're inviting the family in to view the video.
They wouldn't be inviting the family in to view the video if it was a book.
I'm just going out on a limb using the common sense God gave me.
I'm not being Obama.
I'm just putting, you know, simple reasoning to work here.
But the president rushed to judgment there.
In the Freddie Gray case, who runs from a police officer on a bicycle at 8.30 in the morning?
Who would run from it?
Let me see.
I'm standing at the bus stop.
I'm hanging out with my buddies.
We're playing stickball.
A cop on a bicycle.
Now, why is somebody going to take off and run?
What reason could you possibly have?
Oh, he was a known heroin dealer, Freddie Gray.
That's right.
Oh, I forgot that.
Poisoning the minds and hearts and people in the community.
Don't we care about people in the community?
I do.
What do you consider somebody I consider the lowest scum parasite in the world, somebody that would sell a drug like heroin that you know is killing somebody to make a profit?
Is there anything lower in life?
I don't think so.
And then, of course, the president rushed to judgment in all these cases.
Did he ever say, I'm sorry?
No.
Maybe I can, Hillary says, by speaking directly to white people, explain this is not who we are.
She said that on Steve Harvey's morning radio program about speaking directly to white people about racism.
Maybe she says I can speak directly to white people and say, look, this is not who we are.
We have to do everything possible to improve policing to do right and implicit bias.
There are good, honorable, cool-headed police officers.
We've seen them in action in New York in the last, you know, 48 hours.
How quickly she forgot of the terrorist attacks.
We can do better.
We have to rein in what is absolutely inexplicable, and we have to have law enforcement respect communities and communities, respect law enforcement, because this is meaningless.
The cop was black.
What does that mean?
Maybe I can speak directly to white people.
No, there wasn't a white person involved here.
What is she talking about?
But this adds to a narrative when you think about it that Barack Obama started.
Now, here's the point that nobody else is going to tell you.
I'll step out on a limb, like I always do, and say what nobody else will say.
Well, Mark Levin usually does.
I'll say it.
Nobody else will say it.
I'll do it.
And I give him credit for that.
He's my buddy.
We were texting earlier today.
But I'm going to say, how is it that both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have embraced the Black Lives Matter movement?
A movement founded on a false, phony narrative, hands up, don't shoot.
Because Barack Obama has invited the group whose members have chanted, what do we want dead cops?
When do we want them now?
He's in a blanket.
Brown Lives Maker!
He's in a blanket!
By the way, that's not a small chance.
That's a lot of people.
Members of that group got invited to the Oval Office more than once.
Should they be at the Oval Office?
Should Al Sharpton be in the Oval Office 150 times?
I'll start there.
And then, of course, you can add to that, Hillary Clinton has sought out the council wisdom and advice of Black Lives Matter on criminal justice issues.
There's something wrong here.
Something wrong.
This is sad.
And in the face of what I think will almost certainly be determined in the end to be legitimate police action, and I'm going out on a limb here, you've got another riot erupting in New York.
The officer's black.
The suspect he shot is black.
The police chief is black.
Yet the response from the dead man's brother, quote, was this.
I just know all these white people are effing devils.
All white cops are effing devils and white people.
There's nobody white here.
And God forbid, if it was a white person and it was a legitimate action, where have they learned to rush the judgment?
From Obama?
From Hillary Clinton?
It wants to talk to all white people?
Just know that all white people are fing devils.
And make sure you hear that one.
Don't take that.
All white cops are fing devils and white people.
How in God's name can you blame white people for a shooting in Charlotte when all major players on both sides happen to, in this case, be black?
Now, if everybody really gave a damn, as we do on this program, that all lives matter, maybe they would do I am the only show in America that has actually scrolled the names of 3,660 dead people, over 75% of which happen to be black Americans killed in Chicago.
I know the name's not Trayvon Martin.
I know it's not Michael Brown.
I know it's not Freddie Gray.
Do you know the name of even one?
Does that not tell you that it's not about anything other than politics by those on the left?
Because if they really gave a damn, you'd know those names.
And the president would have gotten out of his little helicopter and plane that we pay for, and he probably would have spent a little bit of time in his home city of Chicago.
3,000 people shot this year, 3,660 plus, now dead in his home city, and he doesn't lift a finger.
Apologies about last night we didn't get the Trump Town Hall that we had taped yesterday on the air because of all the breaking news out of Charlotte, and we're going to do everything we can do.
I don't even think we're going to get it on tonight.
I mean, the National Guard has been called in.
And anyway, what was I going to say?
All right, so we're going to try and get it in as soon as possible.
Joining us now is a good friend of this program, D.C. McAllister, with the Federalists and PJ Media.
She lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is here to give us a first-hand account of what is happening on the ground.
Now that Governor Pat McCrory has declared a state of emergency, and the mayor of Charlotte said that appealing to protesters to go home, pledging that the city would conduct a thorough, transparent investigation, and apparently also, too, the family of this individual that was shot that we keep talking about, well, Keith Lamont Scott, his family has had an opportunity today to see the video.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean is a number.
DC, how are you?
I'm doing well.
Thanks for having me.
All right.
So this is the city you love.
Yes.
And you're watching it burn, and you're watching the looting, and you're watching the violence, and you see cops being pelted with rocks and bottles and everything else, and police responding back with flash bombs and mace and whatever else they need to use to contain this.
What are your thoughts?
I've lived in this city for many years, and it's a peaceful city.
Race relations are great here.
And to have this come into our hometown and have people from Black Lives Matter and the Nation of Islam import this kind of violence into our city is just offensive to those of us who live here.
We have to warn our children about this.
They're concerned.
We had to have a report given by our superintendent and send out counselors to our schools because the kids are concerned.
They see what's going on and they don't know what's happening and they're scared.
And we just don't appreciate this kind of violence coming in over something that is not worthy of this kind of reaction.
In fact, nothing is worthy of this kind of reaction.
Well, and, you know, but you listen to Hillary Clinton.
I was talking about this in the last hour.
I mean, you know, some of her comments are just absolutely absurd about the whole issue.
And what do you know about the police chief?
The police chief is black.
Our city council is mostly black.
The cop that shot this man was black.
We do not have a race issue in this city.
We just don't.
And the other thing people are bringing about, you talked about the video that was released today.
That's the latest thing.
And everyone's making a big deal that, well, it didn't show that the gun was actually pointed at the cops.
I want to bring some information to you if you don't know about it.
This man, Keith Scott, has a prior history of violent crime.
He was in prison for seven years, only released in 2011.
He was in prison in Texas for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Okay, so if they did a police report, if they looked at his license and they got his name, that would have immediately come up.
Let me tell you, if you are a felon, you are not allowed to have a gun.
So even him just holding this gun and them seeing him with this gun is cause for them to be on high alert and he was committing a crime even by having possession of that.
Why let facts get in the way of a good story?
Exactly.
He also had a prior history all the way back to 1992 with assault in both South Carolina and North Carolina with charges.
So this is not a peaceful meeting.
Remember the peaceful giant we had with Michael Brown?
We're getting this again now, this caricature, this portrayal of someone that's just not true.
Now, does that mean that you convict him by his past criminal behavior?
No, but like I said, he was not allowed to have a gun.
If he had a gun, that was causing them for major concern beyond other kind of situations that the cop faces.
So we need to look at the entire facts of the case.
People are not doing that.
They're also not looking at what's actually going on in the city.
And to have the Nation of Islam leader come out and say that they need to economically boycott Charlotte because we hate black people here is ridiculous.
Everybody involved in this case happens to be black.
Exactly.
A black police chief, the person that was shot is black.
The person that shot him, the police officer is black.
You know, Al Sharpton actually said that black cops think they can shoot black suspects.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
And I know they like to say that, you know, racism, it's in the system.
It doesn't matter if they're black or white.
It's the system itself that's racist.
No, it's not.
And I'd also like to bring some statistics to everyone.
In Charlotte, we have a really peaceful community.
We do have crime here.
Sad to say, most of the violent crime happens in black communities.
And let me tell you, out of all the homicides that happen in this city, 63% of homicide victims are black men.
Okay, victims.
Well, 68% of those are shot by black men.
So this is a lot of black-on-black crime going on in this city.
And we need to look at what's going on.
And we've actually had discussions between our mayor and our police chief prior to this, earlier in this year.
And they came out and said, there's problems with economic problems, social problems.
There's economically isolated and socially isolated individuals.
And we need to help them.
This is a black community problem that's social and economic.
And they're disenfranchised.
Well, maybe that goes to my argument that I was making.
And we did this town hall at Pastor Scott's Church in Cleveland yesterday.
And, you know, I talk a lot about how bad things have gotten under Obama, the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s, 95 million Americans out of work, worst recovery since the 40s, lowest home ownership rate in 51 years.
We have, what, 12 million more Americans on food stamps, 8 million more Americans in poverty, median household income lower than it was in 2007, one in five households, not a single family member working.
But D.C., when you start breaking it down demographically for the black community in this country, it's dramatically and profoundly worse.
It is.
And so when everything starts to sink, they're going to get hurt the most.
But also I have something else to share with you.
In Charlotte in particular, crime rates had been going down in our city.
But in the last year, since 2014, violent crime rates have been increasing.
And one of the problems that the police chief talked about prior to this situation is that because of what has been going on across the nation with the narrative that cops can't be trusted and they're out to kill black people, there's been less communication, less trust in our community between blacks and cops.
So crimes aren't being reported.
People resist arrest more.
And this is causing more problems and increased crime.
So it's a self-perpetuating problem.
The more we do this kind of narrative and this kind of propaganda, we're actually creating the problems we say are being caused by intrinsic systemic racism, which it's not.
You know, it's just depressing, as I said earlier.
I mean, this is not the first time.
I guess it's not going to be the last time.
It seems to be now standard operating procedure.
One of the NAACP leaders says, it doesn't matter if Keith Scott had a gun.
I'm like, yeah, it does matter.
And if he was a felon and shouldn't have had a gun legally, that matters even more.
Now, there was a UK article that came out, and violence was so bad in parts of Charlotte last night that and it was allowed to continue and police kind of stood guarding the perimeter.
I don't know if that's going to change tonight.
And they were firing rubber bullets and mace and flash bangs and doing everything I guess they could do with the manpower that I guess that they had, which probably wasn't enough.
But, you know, did the mayor, in this case, Jennifer Roberts, give the police a standdown order so that, you know, people could do, I guess, in the words of fellow Democrat Baltimore Mayor Rawlings, you know, give them space to destroy.
Remember that in Baltimore?
Do we know what happened there?
It was chaos.
And, you know, and I don't know what happened as far as the order goes.
Hopefully tonight it'll be different because we have a state of emergency declared by our governor here.
So the police are going to have more support.
And property deserves to be protected and lives need to be protected.
You know, like I've said before about the subject, these people aren't protesters.
They're thugs and rioters.
Do you know if any of these people are coming from outside the area?
I don't.
But I do know.
I covered a case here last year that was about a white cop who killed a young black man, shot him many times, and it was in self-defense.
The trial ended in the mistrial.
The video showed that the young man actually charged the police and he was shot.
During that time, the Justice Department sent their community relations service, that unit within the Justice Department that's supposed to be the peacemakers.
They're the ones who actually were encouraging and teaching rioters down at the RNC at Tampa how to riot and how to protest.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, so they were also in Ferguson.
And so they were here last year with that, kind of helping guide race relations in Charlotte.
Well, no, thank you.
We don't really need your kind of guidance.
So are they still here?
And we also had Black Lives Matter that was here during that.
And they tried to do protests after that mistrial, but they kind of fizzled.
They were out in the streets, but just they didn't really gin up the people like they wanted to.
Well, now it's happening right before election, which is very convenient, don't you think?
And they're here, and they're ginning it all up, and we're seeing violence in our beautiful city, which is normally peaceful and a wonderful place to live for everyone.
No, I believe that.
And you know what?
I have a lot of friends in North Carolina, and I'm very fond of the state.
And the governor, I thought, did a good job last night by coming out as he did.
And I just wish things were better.
We'll be watching tonight D.C. McAllister.
It's been a while.
And what do you think about the election?
You're always following it closely.
I am.
It's exhausting, but exciting and interesting.
And I just hope people show up at Holes in November and vote for someone who's actually going to put a stop to the tyranny of the left.
You were a big supporter of Ted Cruz.
Are you mad at Ted for not supporting Trump?
I'm disappointed in him.
And I'm disappointed in anyone who's not going to at least come out and say, I'm going to vote for him in order to take seriously the threat from the Democratic Party and what it's become.
I think that's well said.
All right, D.C. McAllister, thank you so much.
We really appreciate you being with us.
800-941-Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
As well, we got our buddy Tavares.
We're not allowed to play his intro music because we were threatened with a lawsuit.
You know, I mean, Tavares, more than a woman, I can say that.
It's unbelievable.
Hey, everybody.
Go ahead.
Come together.
Everybody love each other.
Let me tell you.
Let me tell you this, Sean.
I'm listening.
I'm living in North Carolina.
I'm about four and a half hours, about four hours away from Charlotte.
And I know that you love me.
I love your staff.
I'm a black male.
And that could have been me, right?
So if that was me, right?
My Constitution basically tells me I don't have a criminal record, so I have the right to bear arms.
But the Constitution also tells me that I have the right to resist an unlawful arrest.
The Constitution also says I have the right to defend myself upon an unlawful arrest.
Now, society tells me that you're supposed to lay down and be a good puppy and let the police rub your belly, and then when they're done taking your dignity, they'll let you go and everybody will be okay.
With all due respect, Tavara said, I've known you a lot of years.
You know, the last thing anybody, you can't pay them enough to rub your belly.
I just can't.
Right, right.
It's not that flattering.
It's only flattering to my wife.
Sometimes I think at least she makes a face like it's flattering when she rubs my belly.
But I really think she's doing it because the Bible tells us she has to.
And I tell her, I said, the Bible tells you that, baby, you got to rub my belly.
But anyway, anyway, what I'm saying is, I love my city.
I'm a Panthers fan.
I've been to Charlotte.
And what's happening right now is deplorable.
In my First Lady, First President Clinton's words is deplorable what's going on.
And I don't believe in throwing a rock in order to get your voice heard.
You voice your opinion, and then you go from there.
But I know what you're going to do and what people on the right tend to do.
They tend to go after the victim's character, go after in the past, but they don't want to look at the past.
Can I ask a question?
What?
Well, hang on a second because we have a fact sheet on this and we know where the guy's history has been.
And I'm just asking you, you say, you know, the NAACP leader says, oh, it doesn't matter if Keith Scott had a gun.
And I'm like, yeah, it does matter, especially based on his rap sheet.
And here's the thing.
Well, I mean, but everyone's trying to see this through a racial prism.
Now, for example, the friends and family of Keith Lamont Scott, the guy killed by police this week, portray him as a family guy, and he's really likable.
And the Charlotte Observer points out, I'm sure you trust them, a liberal newspaper, that Scott was convicted of a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon in the county.
And other charges stemming from the date were dismissed.
Felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.
And misdemeanors assault on a child under 12, an assault on a female.
And communicating.
I'm not done yet.
The rap sheet goes on quite a bit more.
And let's see, communicating threats.
He's found driving while intoxicated.
He was charged with several different crimes on different dates, including carrying a concealed weapon, not a gun, simple assault contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Pled guilty to all charges.
He was also charged again with aggravated assault with intent to kill.
Now, those charges were later reduced, but that's what he was originally charged with.
He was also sentenced to 15 months in jail for evading arrest.
And also, he has been sentenced to seven years in prison on conviction of an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Just a nice guy in the neighborhood, regular guy in the neighborhood.
Can I chime in?
Yeah, go ahead.
Can I chime in?
Okay.
Model citizen.
None of those are sentenced for death.
And say he was.
Number two was his firearm discharge.
Number three.
The firearm discharge doesn't mean it doesn't mean a damn thing.
Somebody has a weapon and you're talking.
Listen, if you have a gun in your hand, listen, let me tell you how the real world works, okay?
And I'm trained in the use of a firearm since I'm 11.
I've been a marksman.
Okay.
You're in a situation and a cop says to you, put that weapon down.
That means you very, very delicately and slowly, you put the weapon down.
If you don't put the weapon down and you move in any jerky, herky fashion, you're going to get shot.
Why?
Because the police officer who has a family likely on his own is he has the right to go home too.
I think you understand that, right?
The Constitution tells me that I don't have to put my gun down.
I don't have to disarm.
You can't come up to me, write up to me, and tell me to put my gun down because you suspect.
No, you don't have that right.
You don't have a right.
Listen to me.
If an officer tells you to put the weapon away, you put it away or you risk dying.
It is an imminent threat to his life.
All right.
How's the new job?
How's the new job?
The new job is great.
I'm hauling P up and down.
Awesome.
Up and down.
Thank you.
I know you know.
Motherfuckers keep on killing us.
And y'all, motherfuckers.
They killed an unarmed black man.
They could have unarmed black man Charlotte, North Carolina, because he was reading a book.
F them.
Make this go forward.
Show nothing but love.
Show nothing but love.
What?
Are you afraid?
Are you scared?
You scared.
You scared.
I don't fucking wait.
They're lying.
It was a book.
I'm here.
It was a book.
There's a constitution that you got to follow.
And just because my skin is dark, you don't have the right to hide behind white privilege and white supremacy and murder us and go home and fix the sandwich.
You do not have that right.
And we will not leave until you understand that.
Every day it happens.
You at the bad boy reunion joy.
You at Bubble.
You at Club One right now.
You don't give a f about your own people when you get shot out front of that.
Don't be mad.
We won't be marching for you.
We out here like the motherfucking Taliban.
We out here like the Taliban.
They done got them.
They done gases and everything.
We out here like the Taliban.
Would you arrest Reverend those who got so violent that they set fire to vehicles, they set fire to retail establishment, they broke in and looted those establishments.
Would you say you are disgracing the message of Dr. King and I will not support that behavior?
Well, you're disgracing Mr. Dr. King if you don't do justice and love mercy.
I mean, don't pull Dr. King, make him a cover of the people.
That's not what I asked.
No, I'm not sure.
Would you say that's my question?
You went one step too far there.
Dr. King, looking at the riot in LA, said when he hits that point, it's extreme.
He said the voices of the unheard, that's people lose it at some point in time.
People can't.
So you condone their losing and justify what they did.
Can you imagine for a moment if you had this minute black police shooting white folk in the back?
What would your response be?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not telling me that.
No, no.
If you're not telling the dismantled police, you're not shooting the white folk in the back.
You're the consul of Martin Luther King.
Jesus Christ and all of that.
Who advocated peaceful protests?
We're watching modern-day lynching on social media, on television, and it is affecting the psyche of black people.
That's what you saw last night.
This is what, when you don't get your justice, we don't get a redress for our grief, and we don't get justice.
This is what you see, and you're going to see more of that.
We're not telling our brothers and sisters to stop.
We're not going to get out there and tell y'all, oh, brother, you shouldn't do that.
You shouldn't do this.
Well, we ain't getting no justice.
Wow.
More of the sounds of what's going on in Charlotte as we literally did two uninterrupted live hours last night.
And of course, the governor even called in and called in a state of emergency.
We're not sure what's going to happen tonight.
We'll be live again.
I know that postpones our town hall with Donald Trump that we wanted to be playing for you because it was a pretty phenomenal day at Pastor Darrell Scott's Church.
And my good friend, the pastor, joins us right now.
And Pastor Daryl Scott, by the way, his church is called the New Spirit Revival Center, and he's the CEO for the National Diversity Coalition for Donald Trump.
And also with us is another good friend of mine, Nigerines, chairman of the Tea Party Forward Movement.
Welcome both of you.
Thank you both for coming to the town hall yesterday.
And I wish we could just get it on the air fast enough, but unfortunately, events have warranted that we can't do that.
Pastor, you heard what people are saying.
What are your thoughts about all of this?
I think it's very unfortunate that they're advocating anarchy and chaos in an American city that had become to be known as a mecca for African Americans that blacks could go to Charlotte and seek new opportunities and economic progress.
The city is and has been on the upswing, but now you've got those that are calling for anarchy.
And, you know, you know what else is sad?
There's a guy last night.
I see one of the protesters was shot in the head last night.
I believe he was killed by another protester.
Now, this guy lost his life for what?
He went out, and, you know, I had a nephew that got killed in a drive-by in East Cleveland, Ohio.
And, you know, years later, you know, all his friends are still alive, and the gang that they were with doesn't exist anymore.
And he got killed for nothing.
This is a guy last night that lost his life for nothing over violence that is reactionary without everyone getting complete clarity on what actually happened.
Pastor, I got to be honest, it's heartbreaking.
And then you've got to look at Baltimore, and then you got to look at Ferguson, and then you got to look at, you know, I did a special with store owners and shopkeepers and people that invested everything they had in life and their entire business is ruined in some of these cities.
And, you know, we're paying attention to what I guess the media wants us to pay attention to, or Obama wants us to pay attention to.
Obama weighs in on Cambridge and he weighs in on Trayvon Martin and he weighs in on Ferguson and he weighs in on Freddie Gray.
But since he's been president, 3,660 people have been murdered in his hometown of Chicago.
And since the beginning of this year, 3,100 people have been shot.
Now, I mean, I know your answer to this.
Do black lives matter or do all lives matter?
Certainly all lives should matter to all of us, right?
Right.
And you know what else?
It's as if, unless it's white on black crime, it goes unnoticed.
The night before you guys came to Cleveland, a young pregnant black girl got killed in East Cleveland.
I think it was because they feared she was going to snitch on a gang.
And so here she is pregnant and she gets killed and it barely made it to the news feed.
It didn't make national news and the local news glossed over it.
And then yesterday they want to spend more time on what Donald King said and, you know, things like this.
And it's horrible.
It's horrible.
And the media is fueling and driving this narrative.
And, you know, people are buying into it.
And the emotions of Americans, especially African Americans, are getting stoked.
And cooler heads and calmer heads need to prevail.
It's very sad.
You know, I'm wondering, where are, listen, I know you, if this is happening in your community, you're going to be out there on the streets and you're going to be telling people to go home.
And I know that, and a lot of your associate pastors will be out telling people to go home and telling people to get back, you know, stop with this nonsense because innocent people are going to die, as you pointed out.
Another guy shot in the head last night.
You know, I just look at this, and it's very frustrating for me.
And this was a big part of what our town hall is about.
And I guess it'll probably have to air tomorrow night now.
But what's so frustrating to me is, you know, if you look at the numbers and you look at the statistics, I mean, I know we have America's first black president, but African Americans on food stamps have gone up 58% under Obama, a 20% jump in black Americans who are no longer in the labor force.
African American home ownership rate is down.
It's more than 20% lower than the national average.
African American unemployment is 8.1%.
The national average is 4.9.
The wage gap between African American and white workers is the worst in nearly 40 years in this country.
Median household income for African Americans since Obama became president is $20,000 less than the average national average.
The African American poverty rate, 24.1%, over 10% higher than the national average.
A surge in inner city crime.
I just mentioned Chicago, 3,660 people.
I'll call Kathy Instead of that.
And not one person, not one single person in this audience can name probably one individual that was killed there.
But the president talks about Trayvon and Michael Brown and the Cambridge police and Freddie Gray.
And because I guess there's a narrative there that, well, this is the police doing this.
Right.
And you know what?
I said, I had got into an argument with Bakari Sellers on CNN before because, you know, I stated that we didn't have that single unifying black voice that can demand or command obedience and a following.
And I said, Barack Obama needs to stand up and tell people to stop.
And he said, what do you mean?
If you can stand up and speak to black America and say it would be an insult to me if you don't vote for Hillary Clinton, you mean to tell me if you're that, if you're that leader that we, if you're our president that we all admire and love and respect as black Americans, you mean to tell me you can't stand up and say, listen, if you're an African American and you're participating in this, please stop.
Go home now.
Do it for me.
It would be an insult to me if you continue this rioting.
I mean, I don't understand.
You're more passionate for Hillary Clinton's campaign than you are for the African American community.
You know, but there's got to be a correlation.
I'll ask Niger Innes this.
And Niger, it's good to see you yesterday, too.
And, you know, I give out these statistics.
You know, all Americans have fared very poorly economically under Barack Obama.
And I give out those statistics every day.
When you break it down demographically, in the black community in America, they have been disproportionately, negatively impacted by Obama and Hillary's supporting policies.
And my question is: you know, I know that when you break down demographics after every election, you see the black community tends to vote Democratic.
In the case of Obama, 93%.
And they're not better off.
They're far worse off than their fellow American citizens as a group.
And I just, why is there this rigid adherence to a party that only talks to them every four years?
I think that that is changing.
And it was great seeing you, great seeing Pastor Scott and everyone else in that church, in his church yesterday.
And I think what we saw in that church, what you saw from grassroots black Americans out of Cleveland is going to be reflected all across this country.
You know, Sean, for the longest time, I've been saying that Donald Trump has the potential to get 15 to 20 percent of the black vote.
And I think he's on target to doing that.
He gets anywhere, quite frankly, above 10 percent.
The electoral map is shattered.
It is a landslide victory.
And I think it is exactly because, you know, after seven and a half years of us being collectively high on Barack Obama, we're coming down from that high.
And now comes the hangover.
And the hangover are the very statistics that you talk about in terms of lack of economic development in the inner city, the high crime rate, the fact that you can walk certain streets of Afghanistan and be safer than downtown Chicago.
These are the realities and the coming down off the Obama high that black America is going to face.
Why would this president ignore 3,660 deaths, over 75% of which are African American in his home city, but yet he weighs in on very select cases?
And he ignores his own home city, and the numbers are far, far greater, and the problem is far deeper.
Why does he do that?
Why would you make, why is there that selective moral outrage by this president?
Pastor, can you answer that?
Well, it's political expediency.
I mean, to condemn white America for the deaths of certain black individuals is more politically expedient than to address black on black crime in your adopted hometown.
And so, and you know, you have a friend that's in office there, and it would make him look bad.
So, for the sake of political expediency, you see quiet, you see silence, you see them ignoring it and acting as if it's not happening when it is.
And then, when you have someone call it out, right?
Yourself or someone like Donald Trump that talks about the violence in the inner cities, we become outraged because black Americans feel like a white person shouldn't speak to the violence in their community.
But if he was black saying the same things, they would embrace him.
So, you know, it's yeah, well, then we have the issue of now.
Why does he embrace a group like Black Lives Matter?
Now, here, Pastor, you've got a church and you're doing community outreach, and Niger's been doing community outreach, and his father started the group CORE.
I don't even remember what year.
It was in the 1960s or 70s.
It was so far back.
I remember seeing a documentary.
It included your dad in it, Niger.
And there is all this outreach.
I don't know that you guys got invited to the Obama White House, but Black Lives Matter sure did.
And, you know, what do we want dead cops and when do we want them now?
And pigs in a blanket and fry them like bacon.
Why do they get access to Obama in the Oval Office?
Why do they get access and invitations from Hillary Clinton to consult with her on criminal justice matters?
They keep consistent with the victimology narrative.
And you know, Sean, I've been saying for many years that there is a mindset that I akin to a neo-slavery.
And that's when you force the black community, you tell young black, young black girls, young black boys, you wake up in the morning and you look in the mirror and you don't see an American that can control their own fate and destiny, but you see a victim.
You see a victim of racism around every corner, under every carpet.
And that type of victimization cripples you.
It actually shackles you to not be the best that you could be within the country.
And that is the biggest tragedy of this fatal president.
All we want is we want a ladder.
Sean Hannity, who started as a dishwasher, all he needed a ladder and a little bit of elbow grease and some hard work and decent values.
Pastor, I had a great time in your church.
I loved your community.
I loved the people I got to meet in your church.
I couldn't believe my two-minute preaching moment went over that.
Well, I was blown away.
I was blown away.
You were filled with the spirit, Sean.
I was starting to have my organists come in real quick.
And, you know, in the black community, we know and give you a chase.
I got a standing ovation when I said that you invited me to preach from the pulpit.
And I'm going to take you up on it because I really, I felt the love in the room.
I really did.
And that's not a cliche.
I felt something.
And I'm like, wow, I really do.
What a great church.
What a great community.
I enjoyed the time.
I'm not sure if this airs tonight or tomorrow yet, guys.
Well, as soon as I know, I will let you know.
And thank you both for your participation and your friendship.
Appreciate it a lot.
It was a pleasure.
There are people sitting in jury rooms right now all across this country because they received a summons.
Even though they're not going to be called for jury service, they may be excused.
They may, frankly, be disqualified.
But you still have to come.
There are subpoenas being issued all across this country to firefighters and EMS and police officers and doctors and everyone else who may have witnessed anything from a crime to a traffic accident.
They may not get called as a witness, but they have to come.
So issue number one is whether or not you have to come when you are issued legal process.
And the answer is yes.
The witness himself or herself does not get to pick and choose which legal process you're going to follow and which one you're not, or nobody would go to jury service.
So issue number one is do you have to come?
Issue number two is whether or not you have to talk.
And unless your name is Jack Fauer, you cannot force anyone to talk.
Now, we can have a robust debate about whether or not this witness has been immunized.
I read the immunity agreement.
And what I find interesting is the double speak that I hear from some of my colleagues.
You cannot in one Senate say DOJ has refused to prosecute, that this is a nothing case.
And then the next Senate say you're worried that DOJ is going to prosecute.
Congress cannot prosecute anyone for anything.
Nothing.
The only entity in this country that can level criminal charges is the executive branch.
And they have already said they're not going to do so.
So where is his criminal exposure?
Where is it?
Unless they're going to say, Mr. Chairman, that we are worried that he is going to make a false statement before Congress.
Now, ha, that would be interesting if that's the argument.
We are worried that this witness who cooperated with the FBI may tell Congress something different.
Well, guess what?
The agreement he has with the Department of Justice requires him to be truthful.
So you would want people to say the same thing to Congress that you say to the FBI.
All right, that was Trey Gowdy laying out the case, contempt to court, as Brian Pagliano.
Remember I told you, remember that name, that he didn't show up.
And then you have two other people showing up, but pleading the fifth.
Pagliano didn't even bother to show up, even though he'd been granted immunity in the case.
He still has to show up, just like all of you have to show up for jury duty.
You know, I've been very lucky.
I don't know why I never got a jury duty notice yet in my life.
They must say, oh, Hannity, forget it.
Take him off the list.
I've not gotten it.
Have you ever gotten one?
I've never gotten one.
I've never got ⁇ well, I don't open the mail either.
So, I mean, that's probably part of the reason that I never saw one.
No, I don't open the mail.
Well, you know why I don't open the mail, and there are security reasons I don't open the mail.
I have never, ever gotten a jury notice in my entire life.
But I don't open the mail.
I don't know if it comes or it didn't come.
I have the bills sent to another location for security purposes.
Anyway, joining us now, somebody has been all over this case, but more importantly, he has a brand new book out today.
The chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, a friend of this program, our buddy Jay Seculo.
This is a very important book that he has written about whether or not we as a country are going to get our act together and whether or not we're going to understand the absolute nature and danger that we are facing as not only a country, but a world in terms of what we need to do, what we need to be aware of, and this nexus, this alliance that has emerged between Iran and Russia and jihadists and an agenda that they share for conquering the world.
The book is called An Unholy Alliance.
He's a number one New York Times best-selling author.
This book is a wake-up call.
You saw what had happened earlier as we followed the New York and New Jersey attacks over the weekend last week.
NJ, welcome back.
Very timely as usual.
You wrote a great book about ISIS really before anybody else knew a lot about this group.
This really takes it to the next level.
What we try to do is it's kind of the companion piece, the follow-up to the rise of ISIS.
And the idea here is you look at what's happened in the past and where we are right now.
So it looks at both.
And there's something as we are entering this countdown to the next election to the presidency of the United States.
You look at how the world has changed, not only in the Middle East, but for us in the United States as well.
I was in New York during these recent attacks, and you look at the way the world has changed in eight years with the failed policies of President Barack Obama, where he was going to remake the Middle East, I guess in his image, which if that's his image, his image is a disaster.
We project no strength.
We project weakness, and the Russians waltz in.
They waltz in.
The Iranians flexing their muscles.
They're picking up our Navy.
They're harassing our battleships.
And we're doing nothing.
Now the report today is ISIS may well have used chemical weapons against U.S. troops.
What's the reaction from the president of the United States?
Nothing.
Nothing.
So what we've done in Unholy Alliance is lay out the agenda and how to combat it.
And here's the thing with Russia, which is so fascinating.
And Donald Trump got a lot of flack for two things.
And I think this was both of these.
The flack was absolutely incorrect.
Remember when he said cut off the oil supply?
Well, that is a big deal for ISIS because that's how they generate so much cash.
Different than Al-Qaeda.
Their cash flow because of the oil has been incredible.
You cut that oil off and then destroy the caliphate.
And it's going to take whatever it takes militarily, which will not be, look, we can knock this caliphate out in 30 days if we put our mind to it.
But we're going to have to do it because, Sean, the eight more years of this, and I shudder to think, I've got grandkids now.
I shudder to think what it will be like for my grandkids going up.
It would be, I mean, it will not be the America we knew in our recent past.
It will be so different.
But this projection of weakness, and so we've laid out what the agenda is.
We've laid out what the jihadis want.
We've laid out what the Russians are trying to do.
And we put it together in a readable format so people can be educated with a call to action at the end to take actual steps.
Well, you know, oil also and energy also has a big impact on Putin and Crimea and its connection to Western Europe.
I mean, all he has to do, Vladimir Putin, is shut off those spigots, and Western Europe is dead.
He literally controls the lifeblood of their energy supply, the lifeblood of any economy, which really, you know, I've always said one of the biggest, biggest issues we never talk about is becoming energy independent.
It's good for national security purposes.
Number one, we don't need to count on countries that hate our guts for the lifeblood of our economy, especially when we have more natural gas, we have more oil resources than we ever imagined, and we certainly have more coal than we even knew of years ago.
We have the ability to be energy independent for 100 plus years.
And yet, and we could also help supply Western Europe and make money and create millions of high-paying jobs.
And we don't do it.
No, we don't do it.
And as I said, we project this incredible weakness.
So with dealing with Vladimir Putin, how do you deal with the strongman?
He's a strong man.
I mean, look, I mean, we may not like it, but he's a strong man, and he's a strong man in Russia, which is not insignificant.
Benjamin Disraeli, the famed prime minister of Great Britain in the 1870s, was dealing with the same thing.
He was dealing with Russia.
And he said, questions between Russia and England, and you could just substitute the United States, are not questions that can be settled by arbitration.
They're questions in which power is involved, and power can only be met by power.
Questions of this kind can only be settled by force.
And then he said, I don't mean necessarily by war, because diplomacy backed with power can effectively be basically a war without violence.
And what we need to be projecting and showing that we have behind it is real power here.
But you're absolutely correct.
Our lack of energy independence, the unwillingness of the Democratic elite to let go of our resources so we can actually take the coal out of the ground.
But instead, you got Hillary Clinton saying she wants to basically, without question, you know, she's going to put these coal miners out of work.
You know, let's not, I'm hopeful that people don't forget that in 48 days.
This energy issue, you're right, is a big issue.
Oh, it's huge.
And look, it's great for national security, and it's good for creating high-paying jobs and careers for all the millions of Americans out of work.
You describe it as strange bedfellows, this Russia-Syria, Iranian alliance, and thus the title of the book.
On the surface, it's strange and jihadist, but not really in another sense.
Explain what you mean here.
So they don't share, you know, Iran and Russia don't share a common theology.
I mean, you've got the Shia fundamentalist jihadist of Iran, the Revolutionary Guard.
It's a terrorist regime.
And Russia, as you know, is primarily Christian, mostly Russian Orthodox.
And the reality is they don't share a common theology.
But they do share, at least temporarily, a desire.
And that is more of a conquest, what I call a global conquest desire.
Now, I think ultimately they would put themselves against each other.
But they want to, why do they want to prop up Syria?
Well, Russia wants a warm water port.
Why did the Iranians allow the Russians to do sorties, aircraft?
sorties out of Iran, where the constitution of Iran, by the way, prohibits foreign forces from being on the ground to fly into Syria.
Well, again, commonality.
They want to prop up the Assad regime because they want to eliminate ISIS.
Not because they think ISIS is that bad, although they do think they're bad, only bad because Iran wants to be the caliphate.
And Russia wants the military power in the region and ultimately the world, so they get warmwater ports.
So you have this unholy alliance, and I have on the picture of the book on the cover is Rouhani with Putin, whispering in each other's ears.
And I think that picture is a picture is worth a thousand words.
Maybe it's worth 10,000 words here.
I mean, it shows this imagery.
I don't think they share the same ultimate end.
They both want conquest, but for different reasons.
But they will work together with a common enemy.
We get a strong leader in the White House.
It's going to back both the Iranians and the Russians down.
We don't.
Well, everybody forgets with our future.
The big part of this horrible Iranian deal, not only did they get $150 billion from the United States, I mean, I cringe that America is so stupid under Hillary and Obama that they gave the number one state sponsor of terror $150 billion.
You don't have any place, anytime inspections as we were originally told that we would have.
They get 25 days' notice, and there are certain areas that we will never be able to inspect, nor do we have American inspectors going into these places.
So it's beyond frustrating, but beyond that part of the deal, as bad as it is, we also allow as part of this deal, and this goes to the nexus you're talking about here, is Vladimir Putin can partner with the Iranians and help them create a missile defense system, which means that as they become the nuclear power that they will become, because they're going to continue to spend their centrifuges and not get caught, just like North Korea did with our money this time, they're going to want to protect themselves from either an Israeli or a coalition attack, which,
by the way, probably should have happened already.
And maybe we had a better relationship with Israel.
It might have happened.
But the relationship with Israel is as strained as it can be.
Not with the American people and the Israelis, but between the president and the prime minister of Israel.
Horrible.
But you raised the, Sean, the critical, critical point.
And that is we, and President Obama did this.
He did it in Syria, too.
He let the Russians come in to solve the Syria conflict.
Remember, that was his idea.
He had the red line, then the red line came in, it didn't matter, and they crossed and he lets the Russians in.
Now the Iranians are allowed under this deal, whatever it is, nothing really in writing, but allows the Iranians to get Russian military capabilities for defensive shields, which will, as you're absolutely correct, ultimately means Israel or whatever regional power or international coalition has to go in to take out their soon-to-be developed nuclear weapon.
It puts us, our men and women, in harm's way.
But, you know, doesn't this make sense for this administration?
This is the same administration when they write up the criminal charges against the New York terrorist.
Rouhami, what do they do?
Leave out the coalition, the fact that he pledged his allegiance to ISIS, but had all the ISIS language in his blood-laden journal.
And the Department of Justice will not put in the word ISIS in the complaint.
This is this political correctness and politically calculated mistakes that have really harmed this country.
I think we've got a short window, Sean, to get it back.
Listen, I'm saying this elections live or die.
America lives or dies.
I mean, I do think that's the problem.
We used to say it's the Supreme Court's at stake.
That was the big thing.
That is an issue.
But it's like the third one now.
But it's like number three of the others because survival becomes first.
Well, you saw what happened in Berlin with Angela Merkel and her party had a historic loss in Berlin.
I think it's an indicator.
It's all part of a follow-up, I guess, to Brexit.
It's all related to taking in refugees.
This president now committing to taking in hundreds of thousands more.
If Hillary wants a 550% increase, there's a story out day.
Remember when Sweden once considered a socialist paradise?
Remember those days?
Yep.
Yep.
Well, Sweden and now also like Germany and France and Great Britain and Belgium and the rest of Europe, well, they've had open borders and that paradise now is becoming a distant memory.
There was a UK Express article that Sweden has now seen a massive surge in crime, all starting because of the migrant crisis.
And that means a massive rise in sex assaults and drug dealing and children even carrying weapons.
And a new report by Sweden's National Criminal Investigation Services details the attacks now on police officers.
Police cars are being stoned by mass groups.
You have 50 areas now that have been put on a blacklist and are divided into three categories, from risk areas to seriously vulnerable.
And 80% of police officers now are considering changing professions due to the lack of funding and support to tackle this increase in crime.
Right.
I mean, so what are we not learning about this?
Well, here's what we're doing.
First of all, France may end up electing a government that pulls them out of the European Union.
So that could happen.
But then take a look at someplace you and I remember, Sean, because we both lived in Atlanta for a time, Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Do you know Stone Mountain has received more of the quote, and I use the quotes, refugees than Los Angeles and New York City combined.
Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Now, what is that going to tell you?
Because let's say it's, you know, 150 refugees and only five of them are really bad guys in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Can you imagine?
I mean, so this is this whole approach is when you've got the director of your national intelligence, when you've got the head of the FBI, who my respect for him has dropped to zero, but when he says we can't tell you who they are or necessarily guarantee they're vetting, well then give in, we should be giving as much.
It's Clapper Call me.
It's Steinbeck.
It's McCall.
It's Brennan.
It's General Allen.
Look, I've got to run.
We've got to put the book on my website.
It's called Unholy Alliance, the Agenda Iran, Russia, Jihadists Share for Conquering the World.
And this is not hyperbole.
This is the real deal.
And it's a preview of coming attractions if we don't get our act together.
All right, Jay Seculo, thank you.
Thanks, Sean.
And I will fight back against so-called right to work.
Right to work is wrong for workers and wrong for America.
Now, having said all this, why aren't I 50 points ahead, you might ask?
Well, the choice for working families has never been clearer.
I need your help to get Donald Trump's record out to everybody.
Nobody should be fooled.
He proudly declared himself 100% right to work.
He even hired a union-busting firm to break up an organizing campaign at his hotel in Las Vegas, where you are right now.
And he built up his wealth by stiffing small businesses and contractors.
That goes against everything we stand for as a country.
My dad was a small business.
I'm just a businessman.
I'm just happy he never did business with Trump.
Last week, you were remembering 9-11.
I want to talk about your health for a moment.
It was startling to many Americans to see you get into that van.
I certainly hope you're feeling much better.
I wanted to ask you that I know that you provided documents from your doctor saying that you are fit to be the president of the United States.
Some doctors have said because of your age, as well as your opponent's age, that you could be at higher risk for dementia or even Alzheimer's and have suggested that you take some neurocognitive tests.
Would you be willing to do that?
You know, I am very sorry I got pneumonia.
I'm very glad that antibiotics took care of it, and that's behind us now.
I've met the standard that everybody running for president has met in terms of releasing information about my health.
I have to say, my opponent has not met that standard.
So I am very happy that we have put out all the information that there is that reflects on my health.
And I am physically, mentally healthy and fit to be president of the United States.
Would you be willing to take this test, though?
There's no need for that.
I mean, the information is very clear.
And the information, as I said, meets the standards that every other person running for president has ever had to meet.
And I'm happy that we've met and even exceeded them in certain ways.
All right, that was Hillary Clinton as she was in Tampa laughing at a reporter asking if she'd take a neurocognitive test.
And then you hear her just angry unleashing on Donald Trump.
Clearly, these polls have now gotten to her.
Latest Rasmussen now has Trump up by five.
L.A. Times has him up by four.
And if you look at state by state, not only is he winning Louisiana, but you got him also up by five, according to the Fox poll in Ohio, up by three in Nevada, only down by three in Wisconsin and Michigan.
And he's up by five in North Carolina.
So things clearly continue to move in Trump's direction.
And that is a very different Hillary Clinton that will be heading into a debate on Monday night, obviously.
Joining us now is Jessica Tarlove, senior strategist at Shown Consulting.
Ron Christie, former special assistant to President Bush, contributing columnist to The Daily Beast.
Ron, I hear a very angry, defensive, ill-prepared candidate for a debate.
You do, Sean.
And it's interesting to me that the more that the American people see and hear from Hillary Clinton, the less they like of her.
It brings up the untrustworthiness issue with her emails, the untrustworthy issues dealing with her pneumonia.
I almost died of pneumonia, and I can tell you, I find it miraculous that she had pneumonia diagnosed, and yet she's running around two days later.
I think there's some serious health complications with the former Secretary of State that she's not leveling with the American people.
And she thought this was going to be a coronation, and it's not.
And I think she's angry that she's actually going to have to fight to win this.
Yeah, but I mean, just listening to her, now she's like throwing everything she's got, hoping it's going to stick against Donald Trump.
You know, Jessica, just compare the two candidates.
I mean, Donald Trump is high energy.
He's all over the place.
He's having fun.
He's giving policy speeches.
He's staying on substance.
He's now as on message as he's ever been.
Hillary Clinton seems to be flailing.
She's not on the campaign trail.
She looks tired.
She's lashing out at reporters.
I don't know.
I kind of like Donald Trump's energy, and it's now reflecting in polls as I don't see anybody breaking towards Hillary.
Nobody.
I mean, well, she is maintaining, obviously, strong Democratic support.
You're totally right insofar as the momentum going in Donald Trump's directions.
I'm particularly concerned about independence and the enthusiasm gap.
That's what's really been sticking out in these polls lately.
We have seen a few polls in her favor.
You know, you listed a few in his favor, and of course, there are those for her.
The NBC Wall Street Journal poll.
We had polled out earlier this week that she's back up five in Florida.
She's still maintaining her lead in Virginia.
But there's no doubt it's going to be close.
And Donald Trump has always been higher energy than Hillary Clinton.
And that's not because she's sleepy or because she's sick.
They're two very different kinds of candidates.
He has largely stayed on message.
There have been a few flubs here and there.
I think the whole birther thing was not a particularly fantastic moment.
Actually, I thought that was a stroke of genius because he tells the media.
That doesn't surprise me that you thought it was a stroke of genius.
It was a stroke of genius.
Well, what I'm saying is it's kind of very simple.
I mean, Trump said, oh, we're going to talk about the birth of thing.
He goes, yeah, I believe Obama was born in America.
Hillary started it.
Goodbye.
It was great.
And by the way, now that we've been able to go over the record, Hillary Hillary's top henchman did start it.
Oh, okay.
Well, I mean, obviously that's a whole show unto itself, whether this is Mark Penn.
Yes, it is, absolutely.
The Mark Penn memo, Sydney Vicious Blumenthal, and then you got this lady down, Linda Starr, down in Texas, a Clinton supporter.
It's obviously fired for even raising the issue.
Listen, the Clinton candidates are going to be a little bit more.
Why didn't they fire Mark Penn to say we're going to be the American candidate and we're going to portray him as whatever.
Just like he should have never played in that paddling pool.
Now, Hillary Clinton has never been out there, obviously, questioning whether Barack Obama is American.
I mean, Donald Trump, he stands up there.
He says, you know, I ended the bertherism thing that he stopped in 2011.
The guy, what is it, 84 mentions of where Obama was born in his Twitter account alone?
I mean, this is not someone who I'm not even sure he believes it now, but he knows that it was politically expedient that he had to come.
Listen, I know you want to talk about this, but you know what you're not going to be able to talk over?
Is the narrative in this campaign is what I have been saying.
We're now, what, 47 days now until Election Day.
And this is it.
We have a choice on the economy.
She'll raise taxes, raise spending, and continue the Obama bad economy.
We know that on Supreme Court justices, she'll point liberal activist justices.
We know that she wants coal miners out of work, coal companies out of business.
She's against fracking and drilling.
Would you like me to play it for you?
Because I have the audio.
Okay, but then you have to play the whole audio where she says we're going to make sure that we get people good jobs.
Okay, but let's play what she did say about coal miners.
I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country because we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business, right, Tim?
And we're going to make it clear that we don't want to forget those people.
Those people labored in those mines for generations.
Oh, we're going to put them all out of work.
Well, excuse me.
And really, are they going to be the shovel-ready jobs that ended up not being shovel-ready?
Is it going to be Obamacare?
You keep your doctor, keep your plan, and save $2,500 a year?
Really?
Who talks about putting businesses, you know, I mean, it's insanity for you.
So on all these big issues, education, immigration, betting refugees, even saying radical Islam, she's on the wrong side of where the American people are.
What's that?
She says it now.
She says radical Islam.
I haven't heard of you.
You won the semantics war.
I haven't heard it, have you?
It's not semantics.
I mean, I think that she will be the Obama administration on steroids, Jesse.
I mean, for goodness sakes, she wants to go even further than the president's executive actions on illegal immigration.
She's going to raise taxes.
She's going to impose more regulations.
She doesn't know how to deal with foreign affairs based on her failed record as Secretary of State.
And she's not going to be able to fight and wage a war on terrorism that we so desperately need our people in Washington, D.C., to get their arms around.
The American people have seen her for the last 25 years.
They don't like her, and they don't want a third term of the Obama administration.
We've had enough.
Okay, I take your point.
She said radical Islamism, by the way, after the Orlando shooting.
Oh, my God.
Hang on.
Let me take this in.
She was pressured, embarrassed into finally acknowledging a simple truth.
Well, he was pressured into saying Obama is American, which is also a simple truth.
But anyway, Ron, that was a very well-articulated defense of why we should not have Hillary Clinton.
I'd like to point out that Donald Trump is going to do double the amount of infrastructure spending.
That what he's adding $10 trillion to the debt with his tax plan, which is going to cut taxes for everybody, but he's going to be able to do that.
Well, with all due respect, Hillary has said she's going to be to raise taxes $1.2 trillion, spending $1.4 trillion.
We know she's praising the Obama economy.
We know that on health care she'll keep Obamacare.
We know where she stands on coal, fracking, and drilling.
We know that Donald Trump's for energy independence.
We know where she stands on Supreme Court justices.
Okay, I'll concede she said radical Islam once, but she'll stop if she's elected.
We know that she screwed up Egypt, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, and, of course, praises this Iranian deal.
The Russian reset failed.
China and North Korea are uninhibited in doing anything that they want.
She won't build the wall, and she's beholden to the NEA and Common Core.
So if America wants her as president, there is no clearer choice.
You continue Obama's failure or we shift directions and try and save the country.
It's basically a live or die moment for America.
Not that I'm being overly dramatic.
Well, Jeff, you have to admit, I mean, the choices could not be any more stark or any more.
Well, that is true, of course.
I feel that way.
And, you know, we haven't talked about, which, I mean, I totally understand.
And I take all of your points as usual because I'm a liberal who likes to get along.
But I would also like to raise issues of the world.
I'm a liberal who likes to get along.
Well, maybe then you could talk to Hillary, and maybe she shouldn't call all of us in a basket of deplorables.
Wait a minute.
Do you think I'm deplorable?
No, I quite like you, Sean.
Oh, okay.
So I'm not deployable.
Do you think I'm racist or sexist or misogynist?
Do you think I'm Islamophobic or xenophobic or whatever phobic other ones I might have forgotten?
No, and I don't think, no, if you got homophobic, I think we covered it all.
So I'm not, I'm not any of those things, right?
No, no, I don't think that you are, but I think that a number of the policies that Donald Trump has espoused have riled up elements in society, people and feelings, sentiments, et cetera, that are not healthy for unity.
So do you think it's healthy for Hillary to say that half of Donald Trump's supporters are deplorable?
I thought that from the start.
I think it was a mistake.
I think that you can talk about the alt-right and what people are.
What is the alt-right?
Nobody knows what the hell that means.
All right, let me go to Ron Christie.
Hey, Ron.
It is ironic that she talks about sexism and misogyny and homophobia and Islamophobia.
And meanwhile, she takes money from countries like Saudi Arabia that treat women like crap and kill gays and lesbians and persecute Christians and Jews and never criticizes them.
Well, and to say nothing of the fact that she says that all those who come forth with rape allegations are to be believed, and yet Hillary Clinton was the biggest enabler of her husband's, I don't even want to say misdiscretions.
Well, this is, I think, is a fair question.
Do you believe Juanita Broderick, Jessica?
Sean, we've talked about this, and this was the end of the day.
I didn't ask if we had a question.
Did I ask if we talked about it?
I'm asking, do you believe Juanita Broderick?
That Bill Clinton raped her based on the fact that there were investigations and Ken Starr didn't use her as a witness and there's no way to do that.
With all due respect, I don't know of a single investigation.
Really?
You don't think that when Ken Starr looked into this to see if he was going to use her, there wasn't an investigation?
I don't remember Ken Starr looking into it.
No, within the scope of the Whitewater investigation.
But the fact of the matter is that we all know that Bill Clinton has been a serial womanizer.
We certainly don't want him back in the White House roaming around, probably hanging out with the interns.
But I think it says more than anything else, it's a testament to Hillary Clinton's character that she's more addicted to power and being in positions of power.
And if she can't manage her own house, she sure as heck shouldn't be put in a position to be in the White House.
Okay, can I just also say that we know that Donald Trump cheated on his first wife, I think also his second wife.
And we also know that he was accused of rape by Ivana at some point, and then she backtracked off of that when apparently it seems like she was pressured.
Neither of these men are.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't think she's pressured when she said she supports Donald Trump for president and that he'd make a great president.
Yeah, you know, and that what she said, what she said during divorce proceedings was over the top.
She said her own words.
So if she really.
All right.
Well, I'm just giving you facts here.
I mean, Donald Trump is not winning any awards.
All right, let me ask another question.
Do you believe Kathleen Willie, who said that Clinton groped, grabbed, fondled, touched, and kissed her against her will?
I'm really not sure.
I've never thought of him as a rapist.
I know that these stories circulate.
He obviously was a woman either.
He obviously should not have done all of that.
I'm asking, do you believe Kathleen Willie?
You haven't answered my question.
Do you believe her?
No, I haven't.
I have a really tough time with this because I feel like obviously everyone.
Do you believe Paula Jones, who says that he exposed herself to her?
I don't really see him asher.
You think she lied?
That's true.
He did pay her $850,000.
Wow, it's a lot of money.
It's a lot of money.
Yeah, it is.
Listen, there's no question that it's not complicated.
She was able to describe distinguishing characteristics of his private part.
I've heard that.
Yes, I've heard it many times, and I think from you before, in fact.
No, I don't think I've talked about his private parts in a while.
Maybe back in 1998, but I don't remember recently.
As a matter of fact, I'm grossed out even mentioning it.
It's sort of like Anthony Weiner talk at this point.
I can't take it.
Oh, God.
Well, then let's talk about Saudi Arabia, Yahweh.
That Donald Trump has done business with them, that Hillary Clinton has come out against Saudi Arabia.
$35 million that Clintons took.
I'm sure they're really against the Saudis, but I got to run.
Love you both.
When we come back, wide open telephones.
We'll get to your calls here.
Give Donald Trump, at least he says, sorry, protesters have no right to commit acts of violence.
You think?
How many more small business owners are going to see their lives go up in ruins because of people that want to use any excuse they can to rob, loot, steal, take advantage of a situation without any facts?
It's not just violence, by the way.
That's called crime.
It's a crime problem that we have.
And nobody willing to stand up and say, okay, that's enough.
Rudy Giuliani, I kept saying to him last night, I said, well, what would you be doing differently?
He said, well, this wouldn't happen in my city.
What do you mean?
It wouldn't happen.
You have a right to protest.
You don't have a right to throw one rock, one bottle, loot one store, and my police force goes in with a heavy, heavy hand and presence and would stop it.
That's what you're supposed to do.
Why isn't it happening?
Mike in Palm Springs, California, on the Sean Hannity Show.
How are you?
I'm good, Sean.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Glad you called.
Where's the president?
Where's Obama?
He wasn't on last night.
He wasn't on today.
You know, I don't know.
Maybe he's still doing his fantasy football.
Maybe he's doing his brackets early in the season.
I don't know.
I haven't seen him.
That's your guy.
Sometimes I think he enjoys this.
Look, all I know is this: race relations have deteriorated more under this president than any in recent memory.
All I know is black America has suffered disproportionately more than every other American or any other demographic group.
And I am saying this is needless suffering for innocent fellow Americans.
It's needless.
It doesn't have to be that way.
It could be different.
And, you know, Hillary wants to continue.
All right, so if you want to suffer, elect Hillary.
If you want to continue the same stupidity, elect her.
And you will.
Look, I'm sitting here and I want to bang my head against the wall because I can't make people do what I want them to do.
Oh, Hannity, you sound like a dictator.
Well, no, I'm not a dictator.
All I can do is lay out the facts, give you information, and then you get to make the decision yourself.
I only get to pull the lever once when I vote.
And if I ever pulled it twice, I'd be in jail.
Unlike other people, dead people voting in Chicago and elsewhere.
So, look, I tried to warn the country about Obama.
I was more right than I knew.
I'm now warning everybody about Hillary.
And again, I know that I'm right.
Hannity, that's arrogant.
You're so arrogant, you think you're right all the time.
No, there's a difference between arrogance and confidence.
My study of politics and history has proven one thing: socialism, statism, redistribution, spreading the wealth, capitulating and licking the boots of dictators and not being able to say radical Islam shows weakness.
And I am saying it has always historically failed and it will fail again.
And if you have been suckered into the Obama agenda and hope and change and change and hope and yes, we can, Obama.
If you've been sucked into it, now look at facts.
Now look at the eight years of damage and destruction of the country and our position in the world.
And if you want more of that, go vote for her.
I can't stop you.
And I would not try.
But you're going to get the government you deserve.
And I hate to say this.
This sounds so, so darn arrogant, but it's not meant to be.
Because I was where so many of you are today in my life, broke.
Dead broke.
And I was able to climb.
There was at least enough rungs on the ladder that I can climb up.
I mean, unless she comes and confiscates the money that I've saved, this is not going to hurt me, but it's going to hurt my country.
And it's going to hurt people in this country.
And when you have 95 million Americans out of work, that is unconscionable to me.
When you have 12 million more on food stamps, we're capable of so much more.
And the people that have so much to offer are sitting on the sidelines wanting to play, wanting to participate, wanting to contribute.
And 8 million more in poverty and kids growing up in poverty, we can do so much better.
I remember my first home and the experience of buying a $113,000 home.
I was the happiest guy on the face of this earth.
I want every American to have that happen to them.
Every single one.
And you will love your home.
And you'll take pride in your home.
And you'll know you earned that.
You didn't build that.
No, you didn't build it, but you worked hard to buy it.
And when you have a 51-year low in home ownership and the worst recovery since the 40s, it's just unnecessary suffering.
Needless.
No, okay.
I hate to see my country decline.
It hurts.
It's painful.
It's unnecessary.
Linda, who do I care about more when I talk about the future of this radio show, my TV show?
Who do I always talk about first?
When you and I talk about it, everybody else.
I care about my team here.
You know what?
This is going to affect our country.
And I don't know if we recover.
I don't know if we're ever going to recover.
And I guess I could take my money and my pickup my toys and go and play golf.
I don't want to play golf for the rest of my life.
When am I going to get up every day?
Okay, let's go hit the stupid ball and chase it.
Let's hit it again and chase it again.
Let's see if I can put it in a stupid hole.
Now, how do I want to spend my life?
Maybe a couple hours here and there, but beyond that, could you imagine that's your life every day?
I couldn't take it.
I'd go insane.
I'd be walking along the golf course doing monologues to myself about the bad state of Hillary's economy.
Be talking about Hillary sucking up to dictators and kissing, you know, sucking up to radical jihadists, not being able to say radical Islam.
I'm just like screaming on the golf course.
I'll be like Bill Murray instead of saying, There goes the kid, the kid, oh, the crowd goes wild.
He hits the ball.
Oh, look at that right onto the green.
It's the two-footer, a two-foot putt.
I'll be walking along the thing saying, Will there Hillary did it again?
Ready to pop.
I'll sound like Al Gore.
Republicans have the wrong agenda for African Americans.
They don't even want to count you in the census.
I know some of you thinking I'm losing my mind today.
I'm not.
Do you want that?
What do you want our country to be?
You know what I want for our country?
I want every American that wants a job to be able to find one.
A good job.
A good paying job.
A job that enables them to save money.
A job that provides them opportunity in a career where they can have some advancement.
A job where they can put away enough money for a down payment for the first house that they get in their life.
I've had that experience.
It is one of the greatest experiences between having kids and buying your first home.
There's nothing cooler.
Maybe getting rid of that old jalapi.
I used to buy $200 cars.
I bought a car for $350.
I drove around.
I used to paint my own cars.
I used to repair my own cars.
Now I buy new cars.
It's such a good feeling compared to what I used to do.
You know, if you get sick and you have a decent health care plan, you don't have to wait 22 hours in an emergency room.
That'd be nice.
You know, that we don't have to suck and bow and beg the Saudis and Middle Eastern countries for our oil.
That you can have an opportunity maybe to work and go to school and pursue your dream.
I was able to pursue my radio dream by doing this for free for years and working for no money for years because I had saved a little bit of money, not a lot, a little.
And I was able to skimp and save and put it away, and my dreams come true.
I want that for everybody.
What?
I just am supposed to say, oh, I'm okay.
The hell with the rest of you?
No.
I want a country that recognizes that we have enemies that want to kill you.
Well, maybe I sound like a bloodthirsty killer, but I'd rather kill them first.
I'd like a country that can recognize that they're at war with us.
I want a country that secures its borders.
I want a country that understands the cultural divide between Sharia and radical Islam and our constitutional values.
Well, you know, Hillary's in trouble when poor Phil Donahue's been brought out of mothballs to go on CNN.
I saw him today.
Did you see that earlier, Linda?
They brought Phil Donahue out of mothballs.
That means they're desperate in the Hillary campaign.
Let's bring out our yeah, he does.
And, you know, I love the guy, but he's nuts.
I mean, that means they're desperate.
That means he's watching and saying, oh, no, Donald Trump can win.
Another sign.
All right, back to our phones.
Ashley's in Washington.
How are you, Ashley?
What's going on?
I'm good, Sean.
How are you?
I'm good.
So, Sean, I have a question for you.
Just in light of everything that's going on right now, the riots in Charlotte, everything's getting so bad with, I mean, from Kaepernick to everybody, the disrespect for our cops and stuff.
I'm wondering, for the stop and press Donald Trump talked about, what do you think?
Is it constitutional, unconstitutional?
What is your personal thought?
What do you think?
Look, here's what I know.
Before Rudy Giuliani became the mayor of New York City, I think it was about 2,600, 2,500.
I don't remember the actual number of people in New York City killed every year.
That number went down after being continued with Bloomberg to about 300, 350.
So you add the numbers up and you're talking about saving about 2,200 lives.
Now, is there a part of me that worries a little bit about civil liberties with stop and frisk?
Yeah, but you know something?
I have a license to carry a gun in New York, okay?
One of the few people that do.
And if the police stop me and frisk me and they see that I have my gun, I'll always have my gun permit with me.
I'll show them my gun permit.
They'll know it's legal and we can move on.
It wouldn't offend me, and I think it's...
If you're a law-abiding citizen and you respect the police, I think you don't have anything to fear.
If the police are held accountable, they need to be.
We also need to be held accountable.
Yeah.
You know?
Well, and I just know all I know is lives have been saved.
And what Rudy very shrewdly did is, you know, he said, look, I'm sure the people that lived on Park Avenue in the safest neighborhoods in New York would have loved a little extra police protection, but I couldn't give them a little extra police protection because I consolidated the resources in the very neighborhoods where we knew the crimes were being committed.
And many of them happened to be minority neighborhoods.
So whose lives were being saved?
Minority lives were being saved.
And the good and honest and hardworking and tax-paying citizens of those neighborhoods, well, then they felt better because they could go to work and they could know that the crime and the drug dealing and the squeegee guys and everybody else and the homeless people weren't going to ruin their lives.
So yeah, the quality of life.
They desperately needed that.
Desperately.
They need it.
They needed it a long time ago.
Well, so what I'm saying.
And our president's let his town just go down the tube.
All right.
Thank you for a good call.
Kim in Michigan.
We don't have a lot of time, Kim.
It's all yours, though.
Go ahead.
Well, hey, Sean.
I would just want to talk about the false narrative about how African Americans are at greater risk of being killed by the police when statistics actually show that they're about half or a third as likely to be killed by police.
Well, I mean, the reality is, is that, you know, all these statistics I give about Chicago, do you know the name of, there's been 3,660 people killed in Chicago.
You live in Michigan, not far away.
Do you know the name of any one person killed in Chicago in the last eight years?
And I'm not trying to play gotcha.
No, and nobody does.
Nobody does.
That's right.
Keith Lamont Scott was killed.
There were six police-involved deaths in the United States.
