	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	Let not your heart be troubled.
	You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show Podcast.
	All right.
	Happy debate day.
	43 days till election day.
	We've got the best election coverage available on your radio dial today, and less than six hours from the first presidential debate.
	It's right here.
	It's in Long Island.
	It's in New York.
	And so glad you could be with us.
	Write down our toll-free telephone number.
	We'd love to hear from you today.
	It's 800 941 Sean.
	And Hillary is clearly doing exactly what I thought she would do.
	She's trying to get Donald Trump to react.
	We saw it twice this weekend.
	Let me explain.
	First by some Mark Cuban is gonna we're gonna put Mark Cuban in Nemesis of Donald Trump right in the front row.
	Well, that's now beginning to backfire because everyone kind of forgot, and we brought it up last night on Hannity, that well, Mark Cuban's got a problem.
	He says, you know, I know I'm prejudiced.
	I know I'm bigoted in a lot of different ways, he said in an interview.
	And then he goes, I see a black kid in a hoodie on my side of the street.
	I'm moving to the other side of the street.
	We're a lot less tolerant of different views.
	And it's not necessarily easy for everybody to adopt or adapt or evolve.
	I mean, we're all prejudiced in one way or the other.
	If if I see a black kid in a hoodie and it's late at night, I'm walking to the other side of the street.
	Ouch!
	Is Hillary going to disinvite him?
	Now he's not in the front row anymore.
	So that was done to get into Donald Trump's heads.
	Donald Trump had some fun with it.
	They never planned on inviting Jennifer Flowers or Paula Jones or Kathleen Willie or Juanita Broderick, and I'll get to that later in the program.
	They all want to go.
	All of them want to go.
	I got a text from Paula Jones.
	I'd love to go.
	I'll go.
	Can I go?
	I want to go.
	I want tickets to the big event.
	Um, and I don't blame her because these women know that Hillary in fact was an enabler to Bill Clinton.
	And she wants to be the women's candidate.
	So uh that was instance number one of the whole Mark Cuban thing.
	I think that has now backfired.
	The Trump campaign has announced people that they are inviting to be at the at the debate tonight, less than six hours away, including General Flynn, General Keith Kellogg, and Benghazi hero Mark Oz Geist and SEAL Team Six Gold Star Mom.
	You know her if you listen to this program regularly, Karen Vaughn.
	She's gonna be there tonight in the audiences as well.
	Um so that backfired, and then the other thing I think Hillary is like, please, Lester Holt, we need you.
	Your job is to fact-check him, or he's gonna lie.
	Well, as long as she brought up lying, I can remind everybody of all of her lies because the list is too numerous.
	So if we're gonna have fact checking, let's have it.
	And even the debate commission co-chair, you know, is is now urging Lester Holt to take on Trump.
	To give you the idea, this you know, they were so angry at Matt Lauer.
	What did Matt Lauer do wrong except ask her about her her email server, which is a legitimate question, which people have lost their jobs and careers over, and that she got a pass on.
	So why isn't that a legitimate question?
	Poor Matt Lauer got beaten up for that.
	But anyway, to give you an idea how stacked the deck is to try and make it against Donald Trump tonight.
	You have the co-chair of the ever vaunted, allegedly nonpartisan presidential debate commission, openly urging Lester Holt to go after Trump tonight.
	I always thought that one of the biggest problems Trump is facing in these debates is the fact that Mike McCurry, Mike McCurry was Bill Clinton's White House press secretary and propagandist.
	He's one of the two co-chairs of the debate commission.
	I mean, give me a freaking break here.
	We have a full-fledged Clintonista calling the shots on how these debates are supposed to be run.
	And I don't know why Trump and Rhein's Previs will join us later today.
	Newt Gingrich will join us later today as well.
	I don't know why they didn't cry foul the minute that McCurry's name turned up as co-chair, which was months ago.
	So you have a Clinton debate commission now, co-chair, openly calling on the debate moderator to go after Trump.
	Anyway, moderators have been given a thankless task, said Mike McCurry, who teaches at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington and is the co-chair of the presidential debate commission.
	Quote, keep control, encourage the candidates to fact-check each other without getting in the way, but step in if prevarication proliferates.
	Oh, so you got the debate commission by co-chaired by the former White House press secretary of Bill Clinton, now lecturing Lester Holt on how to do his job and giving him his marching orders.
	Basically, you need to pull a Candy Crowley on Donald Trump the way Candy Crowley pulled it on Mitt Romney.
	Unbelievable.
	You don't follow orders, Lester, and Trump goes on to win the election.
	He'll never work in the news business again.
	You know what's interesting?
	The one person that has spoken out about this is Jim Lair.
	Jim Lair, formerly of PBS News Hour.
	I've interviewed him a number of times.
	I actually like him, a very nice guy.
	Moderated every first presidential debate of the general election campaign campaign between 1988 and 2012.
	And he says, I don't think the I don't think fact checking is the function of the moderator.
	It's the moderator's job to make sure the candidate has the opportunity to do the fact checking.
	It's a difference.
	If the moderator fact checked all the time, you'd never get through it.
	And people sitting out there want the moderator to yell liar, it ain't gonna happen, said Lair.
	And if Matt Lauer had both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump sitting there together in a debate situation and ask the question, and Trump gave that answer, all he would have to say is Secretary Clinton, you answer.
	The role of the moderator is to be the referee, not to be the judge.
	Bob Schiefer said that.
	Another experienced moderator.
	I would hope that Lester My look, I gotta tell you, my experience with Lester Holt has actually been favorable.
	I've known him for a number of years.
	When I used to do morning shows and I'd go on the Today Show, there were a couple of times he interviewed me.
	I never had any any problems with him.
	Anyway, uh remember I had this little brew haha with Nate Silver who said, huh, Hannity doesn't believe in the polls.
	He's saying don't believe in the polls.
	I actually no, I say do I do believe in the polls.
	And sometimes there are skewed polls, and I try and look into the deep reasons why and figure it out, but I think by and large, you know, poll numbers are to be believed and to be trusted.
	And if I'm running a campaign, I am going to look at the aggregate of poll numbers and the real clear politics average, and I'm gonna think it's probably somewhere in that area.
	Anyway, so Nate Silvers, 538, uh is just at their projections ahead of the debate tonight, giving the odds to Republican nominee Donald Trump.
	If the election were held today, Trump leads with 54.9%, a 54.9% chance of winning the election.
	Now the win projection stems from Trump winning the key battleground states of Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Nevada.
	The same projection shows Clinton winning Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Virginia.
	I'm not sure why she's up in Colorado, considering there's been a number of polls that has Trump up there, and you I think that's not even the big story of the day, and we'll get to that in a minute, some of these poll numbers.
	But I will say this, I'll go through what I think Trump needs to do tonight and how he needs to handle her.
	And it's just my advice, not that anyone's gonna listen to me, but on balance, I think I'm pretty optimistic about tonight's debate.
	I think Trump, by giving all of these policy speeches, all of these interviews as he has, I think he has become extraordinarily well versed in terms of the topics of discussion.
	I also think he's a natural for these kind of settings.
	I think he enjoys it, generally enjoys passionate debate.
	I think Hillary probably right now is terrified, which is why they're going through the this juvenile, we'll put Mark Cuban in the front row, and and Lester, you really need to help us, Lester.
	Come on, it's not fair.
	You need to fact check him.
	Well, that's Hillary's job.
	So I think he's a natural.
	I think she's nervous, she's got everything to lose here.
	He's got a larger than life personality.
	That that transmits a sense of authority.
	And I think the one thing that he's very well aware that she's gonna do is is not gonna work because I think I think every single thing she says tonight, every answer is gonna try and advance a narrative that he's gonna doesn't have the temperament to be president.
	So I think Hillary and her team have composed the number of ways they're gonna try and piss him off, aggravate him, agitate him, irritate him, hurt his feelings, and upset him.
	They'll mention Trump University, they'll mention tax returns, they'll mention things he said in the past.
	They'll mention not paying employees, bankruptcy, divorce, how he treats women, he's a racist, he's a flip flyer.
	All of it she's gonna do.
	And I don't think Trump is gonna bite.
	And I think Trump probably has answers for every one of them, and there is a great opportunity for jujitsu here.
	Little martial arts analogy, considering I had a lot of jujitsu this morning.
	Anyway, the answer to all of this is you gotta expect it.
	If you expect somebody's gonna fire attacks at you, you you build an impenetrable shield.
	And you smile, you laugh, you ignore, and you have your answers prepared to come back.
	And you just can't show any anger, any irritation or impatience.
	And I'm not saying Trump, look, the first and foremost thing Trump's gotta do is he's doing well being Trump.
	Trump's gonna be Trump.
	But don't, you know, I wouldn't get into facial expressions, eye rolling and that sort of thing, and acting annoyed.
	I'd be the cheerful presidential alternative to the typical quintessential DC politician that's been there her whole life and has done nothing.
	Enough said.
	It's really done.
	What has she accomplished?
	Oh, I want to defeat ISIS.
	Oh, I want to fix the economy.
	I want to do this, I want to do that.
	What have you done?
	You've been there forever.
	This is a change election.
	You know, by negative 37, minus 37, Americans think we're on the wrong track.
	Americans are right.
	We're literally losing the country we love.
	And Hillary Clinton, I think what?
	This she is the one person that has made millions and millions of millions of dollars giving speeches to big banks, big insurance companies, wall street firms, special interest.
	She wants his tax returns.
	I want her speeches.
	What did she say in those speeches she doesn't want us to see?
	What promises were made by her?
	Just like she took all these m this money from foreign countries that have atrocious human rights record like the Saudis that mistreat women, gays, lesbians, Christians, and Jews.
	I'd bring that up if I'm Donald Trump tonight.
	There's plenty of time to talk about those things, but overall, this is a choice election.
	And I've been giving you the statistics about how bad this is.
	Anyway, so you know, I would watch out for that with Trump, and one of my favorite moments during the primary debates was when Trump was asked about Vincente's foxes, you know, we're not going to pay for that blanking wall, and Trump said, well, the wall just got ten feet higher.
	He brought down the house.
	I mean, humor is usually probably the most underutilized weapon in a debate.
	And for the as for the rest of the debate, nobody really cared how Trump was going to pay for the Mexican wall.
	And I think in the end, he's explained to me numerous times he's not expecting a check from Mexico.
	But there are ways that they'll have to pay.
	And Hillary, I don't think has any of the talent that Donald Trump has.
	She's dull, she's boring, she's overprepared by this point.
	I heard she was doing double duty sessions all weekend, freaking out.
	They're obviously panicked.
	They're scared that he's going to throw a knockout punch that they can't deal with.
	She's extremely unlikable.
	Even Democratic strategists are scared to death tonight, and that the public doesn't like her.
	And now she's got the added stress of trying to show that she's got some energy in her and that she's not ill to a degree.
	People will be looking to how she looks tonight.
	You know, Trump is spontaneous, he's quick witted, he's just the natural, and you know, Hillary's a stodgy, lifelong, plotting, methodical politician with that is doesn't seem like a happy person.
	She's gonna get strident, her voice will remind people of fingernails on a chalkboard if she does.
	And then the health issue is gonna be a, you know, she's got to stand for 90 minutes, no commercial breaks, no chance to sit down, no bathroom break.
	And if she has a coughing fit, nobody can walk out and save her.
	If she gets wobbly on her feet, she needs a chair to sit down.
	If her handles have to rush to the podium to catch her before she goes down, the election's over.
	So there's plenty of reasons that I think she's got reason to be nervous tonight, but I would say the one thing I'm watching out for is the Candy Crowley factor.
	We learned that in the second debate with Mitt Romney in 2012 after he had a knockout win in the first debate.
	You got one biased interjection by Candy Crowley of CNN, and I would argue that it just it devastated Romney at that point.
	And that was because Crowley became Obama's special pleader during the second debate, using what ultimately was false information to contradict Romney and make him look like he didn't know what he was talking about, but Romney was right.
	And Paul's taken after Romney's first debate showed him six points ahead after the debate number two with the Crowley fiasco.
	Romney's momentum was stopped right dead there in its tracks.
	So, you know, let's see.
	All right, Lester Holt's a nice guy, but he's being pressured big time.
	He doesn't probably want to go through what his colleague Matt Lauer went through.
	Everyone says, well, he's a Republican.
	Well, I don't really think so.
	Remember, Democrats, they kept claiming Anita Hill was a Reagan Republican.
	I don't think so.
	Can I prove that Lester Holt is going to pull a Candy Crowley?
	I hope not.
	But I don't trust the media at all.
	My buddy Larry Cudlow was out there on Saturday morning, and he's got a lot of street cred in this campaign.
	He was a former top official in the Reagan administration, Office of Management and Budget, and he and Steve Moore have co-authored large portions of Trump's economic plan.
	Anyway, during his uh show this weekend, Cudlow shared an anecdote about Lester Holt they'd never heard before, and according to him, after Reagan's death, Lester Holt wanted to interview him, and during the interview, Cudlow described how Reagan tax cuts turned the American economy around, created tens of millions of new jobs and boosted tax revenue.
	And according to Cudlow, Lester Holt responded by saying, Yeah, but didn't Reagan create a lot of poor people?
	Oh my good grief.
	That did not that does not bode well.
	All right, 800-9-4.
	One Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
	We'll get to as many calls as we can today.
	Newt Gingrich, Rines Previs, James Woolsey, the former CIA director under Bill Clinton, is now supporting Trump.
	He'll join us today.
	More of my advice for Trump tonight as we continue.
	It's that big a choice election.
	The Supreme Court, which will impact this country for generations, at stake.
	A president, do you want one that can say radical Islam or not?
	A president that will listen to their top intelligence officials on the vetting of refugees or not.
	Do you want to take in all these refugees?
	You want us to become Paris and France and Great Britain and Germany and Belgium and the rest of Europe?
	It's a huge issue.
	Want a president that'll control our borders, build a wall, or do you want the bridge that Hillary will build?
	You want more taxes, more spending, more redistribution, a 65% death tax.
	That's Hillary's plan.
	Trump, he wants to incentivize multinational corporations to bring trillions back.
	Trump wants energy independence.
	Hillary wants coal mining businesses out of business.
	Coal miners out of work.
	Obamacare, repeal and replace or keep it in some form or fashion, or maybe single payer to replace it.
	Education back to the states or top-down common core.
	So what's at stake here?
	So as I said, um, I think it's gonna send shivers down Democratic spines.
	Nate Silver, beloved by Democrats, is 538 website, the liberal gold standard of political prognostication, is now predicting a Donald Trump victory.
	The election were held today.
	Trump leads 54.9% with a chance of winning the election.
	The win projection stems from Trump winning the key battleground states of Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada.
	And that poll even has Clinton winning Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Virginia, none of which is a sure thing by any stretch of the imagination.
	Now, this is a pretty interesting development.
	We got a number of polls that have come out today and yesterday that I want to bring to your attention.
	You got Trump plus two in the Bloomberg poll, which I think is pretty interesting.
	And Quinna Piac has Clinton plus one.
	LA Times tracking has Trump plus four.
	You got the CNN ORC poll has Trump plus one in Colorado.
	Pennsylvania CNN ORC has Clinton plus one in Pennsylvania.
	Now this is after Michigan and Wisconsin are now within three points too.
	And it's very close in Virginia.
	At least according to one poll.
	Some have Hillary up by more there.
	You've got Pennsylvania, the other poll that came out on Sunday, the morning call poll, only has Clinton by two.
	This is not good for Hillary Clinton.
	Colorado Gravis poll has Trump up by four.
	Another poll has Trump up in Ohio.
	So I think this report by CNN and Jeff Zellany is probably somewhere in the accurate area that probably Hillary who hasn't been to Ohio since Labor Day is probably pulling out.
	Because Elite is crumbling in state she has to win.
	She has to win Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania if she wants any chance to be the president.
	So it looks like, well, maybe the people of Pennsylvania, those bitter people that cling to their god guns and religion, are sick and tired of being out of work.
	Anyway, he's closed the gap, and he's passed Hillary in most of the other battleground states, but Pennsylvania, which the media keeps insisting is an absolute win for Trump to get an electoral college majority.
	Well, now we've got the differences well within the margin of error at one point.
	You also have Trump passing Hillary in the first liberal media poll with this, let's see, Bloomberg News poll.
	Trump getting 43% to Clinton's 41%.
	It's another poll out there.
	This is a pretty interesting development, too.
	This was in Newsday on Friday that the experts have been telling us for months that Donald Trump is having trouble attracting suburban voters, that he needs to win.
	Uh, you know, affluent, well-educated voting block.
	If he's going to have a chance of defeating Hillary, well, don't look now, but Donald Trump has pulled ahead in the largest, most well educated, most affluent, highest tax suburb in the country, which is Long Island, New York.
	And according to Newsday, Trump had a 43, 41% lead in Nassau County, a 44-37% lead in Suffolk County.
	By the way, these are people that know Hillary very well.
	That's a problem.
	Got some funny notes on our website about people that sent in one liners about Lester Holt if he takes the bait and tries to be Hillary's fact checker now that the campaign is panicked and put all the burden on Lester.
	Anyway, hey Lester, Trump can respond.
	This is a presidential candidate debate.
	I don't recall seeing your name on any presidential primary ballots this past year.
	Or if Hillary accuses Trump of being a liar, Hillary, you lie so much.
	She even lied about the origin of your name, claiming that you were named after New Zealand, Sir Edmund Hillary, who first scaled Mount Everest when you were five years old.
	Were your parents that clairvoyant?
	Of course, we can talk about my favorite Hillary lie is oh, we came under sniper fire.
	I was just tired when I said that.
	That wasn't.
	I certainly do remember that trip uh to Bosnia.
	And uh I remember landing under sniper fire.
	There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.
	I remember landing under sniper.
	No, wait, that's what I said when I was sleep deprived.
	You can read my book, and I said something very different.
	Yeah, I misspoke.
	It was totally, yeah, I would totally misspoke.
	You know, I've talked about this endlessly.
	I wrote about it, and I don't know what I was thinking.
	Because yeah, we were told that we had to land under, you know, some threats, and the military did a great job.
	I was the first first lady taken to a war zone since Albert.
	Okay, let me just step in here.
	She landed under flower fire by little girls handing her flowers.
	Asleep deprived that sounded like a good story at the time.
	Politico is warning Hillary today, you better not cough.
	They're offering debate tips to Hillary Clinton for tonight's big showdown.
	One bit of advice that stood out from all the rest is Hillary, whatever you do tonight under any circumstances, don't cough.
	Maybe we should try and put people in the audience that'll start.
	Our great senator, a decent, progressive human being.
	Hillary Rodman Clinton.
	Thank you all.
	Wow.
	Oh, I think we could go home right now.
	Excuse me.
	Too much to say.
	Thank you, Cincinnati.
	I am really delighted to have this opportunity to be here at the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines.
	Excuse me, just one second here.
	By the way, you know, the only problem is with that advice is it's probably counterproductive.
	You ever notice that when you have a little bit of irritation in your throat, which probably wouldn't bother you under any normal setting, but let's say you're somewhere where coughing might be a problem, like a movie theater or sitting in a church or listening to a speech somewhere where you kind of need to be quiet.
	That pretty much guarantees you're gonna have a cough.
	Once the coughing starts, the fact that you're trying to suppress it usually just makes it worse.
	Poor dilemma.
	Poor Hillary.
	Hope she's okay tonight.
	Um, so we got all of that happening.
	I got the Bloomberg poll here in front of me.
	What else did I want to bring to you?
	Clinton 44, Trump 43 in the Quinni Piac University polls.
	We got some good poll numbers out there.
	Now, one of the fallouts from Hillary trying to play games with this whole Mark Cuban issue.
	Let's invite Mark Cuban.
	We'll put him in the front row to irritate Donald Trump.
	And by the way, I don't have anything against Mark Cuban, and I'm sure he was I I don't I don't know anything about him.
	I'll to be honest.
	I mean, he's a flamboyant owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
	I mean, that's really all I really know about him and a billionaire.
	Seems like a nice guy, but he did say very controversial racial things.
	You know, when he when he talks about I'm prejudiced, I'm bigoted.
	He says, I, you know, I see a black kid in a hoodie walking down the street, I'm walking across the street.
	That's a problem if he's supporting Hillary.
	Now Hillary invited him.
	Hillary, you gonna disinvite him now?
	Apparently he's still going as a guest to Hillary Clinton.
	Imagine if it was Trump who had invited somebody who'd said that.
	My biggest point here is there's such a huge, massive double standard.
	Kathleen Willie was interviewed by Breitbart.com, and she said that Bill Clinton's sexual assault victims could fill up the entire auditorium at tonight's debate.
	By the looks of it, the stampede has started because once the Mark Cuban issue went out, then Donald Trump tweeted, oh, well, maybe I'll just bring Jennifer Flowers.
	Obviously he was joking.
	The only people that don't get it are the gullible liberal news media that have zero sense of humor.
	But uh Paula Jones, Juanita Broderick, they've announced they'd love to go.
	They'd love to join Jennifer Flowers at Hofster University in Hempstead Long Island at the Mac Sports Complex.
	Anyway, on Friday, the Clinton campaign announced Mark Cuban is going and Paula Jones, yes, I want to go.
	She wants to join Jennifer Flowers.
	Juaneda Broderick wants to go, Kathleen William go.
	Remember me?
	Well.
	Okay.
	And you know, Hillary wants to talk about lying.
	You know, she made the statement.
	Remember, she made this statement.
	I I I've always tried to tell the truth to the American people, but in reality, she doesn't always try to tell the truth.
	You know, the uh Trump Pence campaign, now that she made lying an issue, they put out 36 separate lies that she's told the American people.
	Starting with the YouTube video being blamed for the Benghazi terror attack while privately telling her daughter, the Libyan president, the Egyptian prime minister, that it had nothing to do with the film.
	She's publicly touted the Russian reset while prive privately admitting that it's a failure.
	Clinton has tried to rewrite history of her policies towards Syria.
	You know, she has uh, you know, when you look at some of the other things she said, she falsely claimed that emails from Sid Vicious Blumenthal were unsolicited when in fact Clinton treated him as a secret off the books advisor.
	She tried to downplay and mislead about her vote to authorize the war in Iraq.
	She was all for it.
	He sounded just like George W. Bush.
	I still think it was the right thing to do.
	You know, it was funny, Eric Wimple over at the Washington Post, Donald Trump had mentioned that well, he he mentioned Sean Henry.
	Yeah, Donald Trump and I used to argue over the Iraq war.
	All the time he talked to me about it.
	The lead up to the war after the war started.
	I know he told Howard Stern, I guess so.
	I guess I was not supporting a war on the Howard Stern show.
	Howard Stern just mentioning it in passing.
	And then he went on Neil Cavuto's show and took a stronger position.
	And I remember him and I, because I've known him all these years.
	We had private arguments.
	He would call me out of the blue.
	I'd finished TV, boom.
	There's Donald Trump.
	He goes, You're not right on this.
	Let me tell you why.
	And it's kind of the nature of the relationship that we had.
	We just kind of had friendly debates.
	He was against it.
	I know from my own personal experience.
	You know, Clinton admitted she voted against the Iraq war purely for political reasons.
	You know, I mean, I could go on and on just going through all of these lies, just over the private server.
	But with that said, that's not, you know, debates are about moments.
	We got to remember this sometimes.
	You got to get the big picture when you think about presidential debates.
	And, you know, I think the big picture is I don't think people are that interested if you know you know who the prime minister of this country or that country is.
	I think people are gonna see if Donald Trump falls for Hillary's bait.
	Her goal is to make him bubble and fizz like Alka Seltzer and Water.
	His job is to stay focused, not fall for it, not get angry.
	And to basically shake his head like there you go again, just like Ronald Reagan did to Jimmy Carter.
	This is a change election.
	There are big issues here.
	Thirty-eight percent now of the American people think this country is on the wrong track, and it is.
	You know, Hillary Clinton has enriched herself more than any other person in political private life.
	She's lied more than any person as well.
	This is about overall themes.
	This is about the Supreme Court.
	This is about the economy, cutting taxes, raising taxes, energy independence or dependence.
	Obamacare, repeal or replace or or double down.
	Refugees, vet them or don't.
	Build a wall, not build a wall.
	Rebuild the military, don't rebuild the military.
	What is the U.S. role in the world?
	Hillary's four starting wars and then pulling out and saying, oh, oops, oops.
	5,000 dead, we made a mistake.
	Oopsie Daisy, as she did not that long ago.
	Worst recovery since the 40s, lowest lar labor participation rate in the 70s, 12 million more Americans on food stamps, 8 million more Americans in poverty, 51 year low in the home ownership rate, first president never to reach 3% GDP growth in history, one in five families without a single family member in the labor force, one in six American men eighteen to thirty-four in jail or living in mommy or daddy's basement.
	And black America suffered disproportionately more than any other demographic group.
	Fifty-eight percent increase black Americans on food stamps, twenty percent increase black Americans out of the labor force.
	And he's accumulated Obama more debt than every other president before him combined.
	This is a major, major difference on all of these big issues.
	We've gone over all of this a million times and the specifics of all this a million times, and now it's going to be a matter of Donald Trump being able to deliver that and show the American people that he's serious and that we can reverse this negative trend we have in this country and become a land of opportunity once again.
	That's what we need more than anything else.
	We need a ladder to success.
	We need a ladder prosperity.
	We don't need higher taxes, we don't need more regulation, we don't need more bureaucracy.
	We don't need any more top-down Washington corruption rammed down our throats.
	And putting America first and getting America's economy going first and American workers back to work first, incentivizing trillions of dollars to come back into the country, millions a high paying job if we'd move towards energy independence with the added bonus, of course, of national security benefits.
	These are all basic fundamental differences that exist between Hillary and Trump.
	So we're now what?
	Five hours away.
	Nearly five hours away.
	Well, if you want to be official, five hours and ten minutes away from this big debate tonight.
	And we'll be on, I guess it ends at eleven, we'll be on a 12 o'clock Eastern.
	I think we're gonna be on two hours tonight, which will be fun.
	All right, 800-94-1 Sean, you want to be a part of this extravaganza.
	And so much to get to.
	We've got Newt Gingrich at the top of the next hour.
	James Woolsey, former CIA director, he's supporting Trump.
	He worked for Bill Clinton as a CIA director.
	Rines Previs has been on a lot of these debate sessions with Trump.
	He'll join us.
	He was with him yesterday, I know.
	We're a lot less tolerant of different views.
	And it's not necessarily easy for everybody to adopt or adapt or evolve.
	I mean, we're all prejudiced in one way or the other.
	If if I see a black kid in a hoodie and it's late at night, I'm walking to the other side of the street.
	And if on that side of the street there's a guy that has tattoos all over his face, white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere, I'm walking back to the other side of the street.
	And the list goes on of of stereotypes that we all live up to and and are fearful of.
	And so in my businesses, try not to be hypocritical.
	You know, I know that I'm not perfect.
	I know that I live in a glass house, and it's not appropriate for me to throw stones.
	And so when I run into bigotry in organizations I control, I try to to find solutions.
	I'll work with people, I'll send them to to training, I'll send them to sensitivity training.
	Um I'll try to give them a chance to to you know improve themselves because I think improving helping people improve their lives, helping people engage with people they may fear may not understand, and helping people realize that while we all have our prejudices and bigotries, um we've we have to learn that it's an issue that we have to control.
	That is part of my responsibility as an entrepreneur to try to to solve it, not just to kick the problem down the road because it it does society no does my company no good.
	Does my customers no good um it does society no good if my response to somebody um and their racism or bigotry is to say it's not right for you to be here.
	Go take your attitude somewhere else.
	Alright that was Mark Cuban making his remarks of course the special guest of Hillary Clinton tonight.
	She he was gonna be in the front row and I guess after some pushback I guess he's not going to be in the front row but he's still an invited guest of Hillary Clinton and yeah that was him saying I know I'm prejudiced.
	I know I'm bigoted he said I know if I see a black kid in a hoodie on my side of the street I'm moving to the other side of the street and then of course went on to say I stand by these words in the substance of my interview.
	Now the question is Hillary Clinton who once said that her mentor was Robert the former Klansman uh Robert KKK Byrd and now she's inviting somebody who's admitting his prejudiced and bigoted and would walk to the other side of the street if she saw if he saw a black kid in a hoodie uh as her special guest.
	Imagine if Donald Trump did this.
	All right, we are just what four short well five short hours now away from tonight's big debate.
	Joining us now is former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and last night on TV you said uh he should be uninvited.
	Well I just think it's interesting the the scale of the double standard if this had been a uh Donald Trump invitee who said something like that, there'd be a New York Times editorial.
	It'd be a Washington Post editorial.
	They'd be horrified uh but of course Hillary Clinton is uh on the right side of liberalism and therefore uh when good liberals say things you can always shrug them off and they they don't really mean it.
	Oh they really have good hearts.
	Um but yeah I mean it's it just uh the phrase the way he said again go back to the period he's talking about the attitude of the President of the United States that whole process is kind of fascinating.
	And uh I think uh it's it's just one more example of why the country at large doesn't take these people seriously anymore.
	They used to have in the book of lecturers I I think that's almost totally gone now.
	And people just don't believe them.
	I think that's true.
	Um now we do know that Donald Trump had tweeted oh fine if they want to invite him maybe I'll maybe I'll invite Jennifer Flowers.
	He said and they said all weekend that was not the case.
	Jennifer Flowers said she wanted to go.
	And then Paula Jones said she wanted to go.
	And Kathleen Willey wants to go.
	And Juanita Broderick wanted to go all on their own.
	It'll be interesting to see if any of them show up tonight.
	But the Trump camp did invite General Mike Flynn there.
	They did invite Benghazi hero Mark Oz Geist is going, SEAL Team Six Gold Star Mother, somebody who's been on this program many times Karen Vaughn is going, General Keith Kelly is going, Bruce Lavella's going uh among the invited guests for Donald Trump uh Geist of course was a member of the Annex security team that went and defied orders and went to save lives uh that night when Hillary Clinton was wondering whether he need we needed permission from Libya to actually send in troops to save Americans under fire and she was very concerned and
	had our brave men and women change their clothes four times so I guess there's a pretty strong message being sent there tonight by Donald Trump.
	Well I I think that uh it's a very pro national security group he's got in that lineup.
	I also think it's clear you know today a a very wide range of Bush administration officials endorsed Trump this morning um which again was a step in the right direction.
	Uh he also got an endorsement uh from a group of people who deal directly with immigration some five thousand members who work for the government on on the whole issue of immigration so you see a continued momentum towards Trump of people who you know you would not necessarily have expected in the past and and who are saying look he's right on the issues.
	Again General Flynn for example former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, author of a book on national security, very senior guy he's not there as an accent he's there because he genuinely believes we're in trouble and he genuinely believes we need somebody like Donald Trump to save us.
	This is a high stakes debate tonight, and I have made the case that I think you agree with me that Hillary cannot run on Libya.
	She can't run on Egypt.
	She can't run on Syria.
	She can't run on the Iranian deal for sure, or Iraq and Afghanistan, or the reset with Putin or China or North Korea.
	She can't run on that record.
	She says she's going to basically continue the Obama economic plan, which has been disastrous.
	I don't think she makes a big point of that tonight.
	She hasn't been making any of these points on the campaign trail.
	She's not going to run on honesty and and truthfulness and character.
	So the only thing left, I guess, in the arsenal for her, or the only bullet in the gun in terms of verbal attacks, it's going to be against Donald Trump and try and throw him off to show America uh the narrative is true that she's advancing that he doesn't have the temperament to be president.
	Does he fall for this tonight?
	Well, I I don't think he'll fall for it.
	I actually think she she'll have two prongs.
	One will be to needle Trump and to go after Trump.
	The other will be to repeat a series of of wild promises.
	You know, she's going to have free college education for everybody.
	She is going to take care of everybody who needs child care.
	She's going to fix uh everything we need in terms of health care.
	She'll go down a list.
	She'll have a laundry list of left-wing promises that all of them involve giving away something.
	And so she'll be very sincerely in favor of uh taking on her many friends, for example, the big banks and uh and and Wall Street who've given her all the money.
	But but she'll she'll say all the right things.
	I mean, I my guess is, and I think I may have read this somewhere, they may have had twenty debate sessions practicing for this on Hillary's side.
	Um I'm gonna watch carefully to see when she gets asked a question.
	Is there a brief pause while she tries to remember which answer that's supposed to trigger?
	That's the danger of being over prepared.
	No, it's a it's a real danger.
	It happened to Reagan in the first debate uh in 1984.
	They gave him too much stuff.
	And instead of relaxing and being Ronald Reagan, he was trying to perform the debate his staff wanted, which of course was much less than what you get if you just got Ronald Reagan.
	And my hope is that Trump will be relaxed, uh that he will go in there.
	You know, and I and actually uh a lot of people I know in Washington agree with me on this, but I think all he needs to do is be Donald Trump.
	Um he is a guy who understands the biggest thing.
	I did a piece yesterday on the hedgehog and the fox.
	The idea that the fox knows many little things, but the hedgehog knows one really big thing.
	And Donald Trump knows it ain't working, and we need to change it.
	And that is the number one thing you need to know to reach the American people this year.
	You know, it's interesting.
	Nate Silver, liberals love the guy, but he has now adjusted his site uh 538 and his projections before this debate tonight, given the odds now to Donald Trump to be the next president.
	If the election were held today, he said Trump leads with forty uh fifty-four point nine percent chance of winning the election.
	I mean a dramatic shift in and reversal of of where he was.
	But also if you just look at all the latest poll numbers.
	I mean, we can look at the national polls, many of them have Trump up, but more importantly, I look at the state polls, and Trump has a very significant lead in Iowa.
	Many polls now showing him up in Colorado and Nevada.
	He's winning in Florida, aggregate poll numbers, Ohio aggregate poll numbers, North Carolina the same thing.
	And within two points in Pennsylvania and within three of Michigan and Wisconsin.
	I mean, this is if I'm Hillary and you've got to play defense in states that should be very easy for you, and Trump is winning all the states he's got to win.
	That's a problem at this point for her.
	You know, I I talked to uh Joe Gaylord, who you know and who has been working in Iowa politics since nineteen seventy.
	He said the collapse between the Obama get out the vote absentee ballot campaign and Hillary's, she's getting one fifth the absentee request he got.
	One out of every five.
	Now, this isn't a state where I think Trump's now up six or eight points, and where you've got Tuck Grassley running for re-election, the Senator, and uh where Governor Branstead's son is running the Trump campaign.
	For the Republicans to be able to lock down Iowa uh would be a really big breakthrough because it's historically Democrat a a lot in the last uh seven presidential elections, and it's always been very close if we win.
	This year it's gonna look like we're building towards a blowout in Iowa.
	I just had a very good friend of a former uh county commissioner in Minnesota, write me and tell me he thinks it's very close in Minnesota.
	The Marquette University poll came out I think yesterday and said it was two-point difference in Wisconsin.
	I mean, these are the kind of numbers.
	Imagine you're Hillary Clinton.
	You lost to Obama in 08 and you never got over it, and you always thought, how could he do that to me?
	Didn't he realize it was my turn?
	Um you and your husband have been plotting for your entire lifetime to get to be president, and you're watching it slip away, and you're gonna go in tonight against the best debater in the country.
	Um, and you've been overcoached, overstaffed, overprepared.
	Uh I mean it's gonna be very the opening few minutes interesting to watch.
	My my prediction is that she will be a little brittle, and that that early on that Trump will be tentative as he gets used to the rhythm, because he's never been in a one-on-one debate.
	All of his debates involve many people.
	But I think that it'll take you about 15 or 20 minutes, and then you'll see him begin uh to really understand exactly how to play the game.
	You know, it's very it's fascinating.
	You know, you're one of the few people, and I mean this as the greatest compliment, because I've known you all over these years.
	There is something that happens sometimes to a lot of people that put themselves out there and if for running for president and losing.
	I mean, I'll be you know, I guess the poster child for this is probably Al Gore.
	I'm not exactly sure what has happened to Mitt Romney.
	I I always liked Mitt Romney.
	I still contest to this day that he would have been a good president, uh, in my opinion.
	Uh, but you and then Hillary Clinton, um I think you're right.
	I don't think she ever got over the loss to Obama.
	Well, you know, there they're two there are two groups.
	I mean, there are people, Bob Dole would be a good example.
	There are people uh and and John McCain.
	They're people who are honored to have been given the chance.
	They didn't think the country owed them the presidency.
	They were really humbled by being allowed to be the nominee.
	And if they don't win, they go on with their lives.
	And other people, uh you mentioned a couple, Al Gore is a very good example.
	Well, Hillary Clinton is an example, uh, who they were supposed to be president.
	I mean, this line you used last night when we were together at some, and then by the way, you're really keeping worse hours uh because we're gonna be together again, I think at midnight tonight.
	But I didn't head last night where Hillary's saying, Why aren't I ahead by fifty points?
	I mean, if you think about it, it's a nutty line.
	I mean, why would anybody think this you know?
	Can I play it for you?
	Because I think I want you to hear it because I know you were on on the bird or on the satellite as we refer to the bird and and TV lingo, but let me play it for you because I I think you're gonna hear it differently.
	But listen to this.
	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 fifty 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 businessman.
	I'm just happy he never did business with Trump.
	You know, is uh do you hear the tone, pitch, cadence?
	Now, when you there's something not right here.
	Last night, I deliberately went to a weird voice.
	I know.
	I was trying to make a point about how nutty this is.
	I mean, here's the person First of all, when you play the whole thing, which is even more painful.
	This is for some reason on this particular speech, she is in the kind of a rant where it's painful to listen to.
	Um a good friend of mine was to was was telling up the debate today and saying why he thought Kolly Trump would win.
	Uh and and he said, it's a little bit like the really clever senior who who's a little bit too much of a smart ally versus the really hostile teacher you never like.
	And you know, he said, so people are gonna tune in, and Trump is a little bit much sometimes, and he gets full of himself, but he's fun.
	I mean, he's he's alive.
	He modulates, you know, he goes up and down.
	She has this permanent hostility.
	A friend of mine described it as being joyless.
	That there's there's no way if you watch a Hillary Clinton performance, there's no joy.
	There's no sense of how of loving life.
	There's no it's she's working and she is gonna get there, and if that means she's got to do eleven extra term papers, she's gonna do eleven extra term papers because she's gonna grind it out no matter what.
	Well, in the real world, it doesn't quite work that way.
	I mean, first of all, people don't read your term papers.
	Uh well, I I all think I think that's all true.
	I I am it's I I just am relating this that something is off.
	And I don't know if it's a health issue, and and people are gonna say, Hannity, there you go with your conspiracies again.
	But I watched that over and over again, and I listened to that over and over again, and I've I've studied this woman for years.
	I think I have a pretty good understanding of who she is, and then I compare it to some of the other videos, one of her collapsing.
	We know she testified she couldn't even remember being brief.
	And I'm just I think something's wrong.
	You think that's a possibility.
	Well, I mean, it but but there's two different things here.
	Um there may be something wrong, but the other side of that is she is under enormous pressure.
	Remember, Donald Trump had never run for anything before.
	The fact that he's already come this far is such an enormous historic achievement that he's well while he's under, I think, some performance anxiety because you know, you're gonna have the largest audience in the history of politics, it's gonna be over a hundred million people.
	Uh, you ought to have a little bit of extra adrenaline for something like that.
	But he doesn't have a giant downside.
	I mean, the worst that'll happen is he'll go back to be a happy billionaire with kids and grandkids and lots of good things.
	Kelly has spent her entire lifetime defining herself as the person who's going to win this.
	And so she is I mean she's at the edge of the cliff.
	She's looking straight down into an abyss that you and I can't imagine because neither of us have ever wanted anything as badly as she wants this.
	All right, I got to run, but uh great analysis.
	All right, we're on at midnight after the debate, and Mr. Speaker, we really look forward to you joining us then.
	It's it's gonna be one of the more fascinating presidential debates.
	This is a historic night by any interpretation.
	I that's how I look at it.
	And it's gonna be fun to watch.
	All right, thank you, sir.
	In a congressional hearing on July 7th, Director Comey directly contradicted what you had told the public.
	I had uh not sent uh classified material nor received anything, uh Mark classified.
	Secretary Clinton said she never sent or received any classified information over her private email.
	Was that true?
	Our investigation found that there was classified information sent to the case.
	So it was not true.
	Right.
	That I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received.
	Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails either sent or received.
	Was that true?
	That's not true.
	There were a small number of portion markings on I think three of the documents.
	I never sent um classified uh material on my email, and I never received any uh that was marked classified.
	Secretary Clinton said I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email.
	There is no classified material.
	Was that true?
	No, there was classified material emailed.
	People across the government knew that I used one device.
	Maybe it was uh because I am not the most technically capable person and uh wanted to make it as easy as possible.
	Secretary Clinton said she used just one device.
	Was that true?
	She used multiple devices during the four years uh of her term as Secretary of State.
	But we turned over everything that was work-related.
	Every single thing.
	Personal stuff, we did not.
	I had no obligation to do so and did not.
	Secretary Clinton said all work-related emails were returned to the State Department.
	Was that true?
	No, we found work-related emails thousands that were not returned.
	All I can tell you is that when my attorneys conducted this exhaustive process, I did not participate.
	Secretary Clinton said her lawyers read every one of the emails and were overly inclusive.
	Did her lawyers read the email content individually?
	No.
	He directly contradicted what you let me just just he not only directly contradicted what you said, he also said in that hearing that you were extremely careless and negligent.
	Well, Chris, I looked at the whole transcript of everything that was said, and what I believe is number one, I made a mistake, not using two different email addresses.
	I have said that, and I repeat it again today.
	It is certainly not anything that I ever would do again.
	I take classification seriously.
	I relied on and had every reason to rely on the judgments of the professionals with whom I worked.
	I certainly do remember that trip uh to Bosnia.
	And uh I remember landing under sniper fire.
	There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles uh to get to our base.
	All right, Hillary Clinton now has brought truth and veracity as an issue in the campaign, just a few of the many examples where she has not told the truth, and there she's being contradicted by the FBI director, James Comey, even though he decided not to move forward with a criminal referral in this case.
	One of the big issues has to do with intelligence, whether or not we will vet refugees, whether or not we need to rebuild our failing military.
	Um I personally believe that we ought to have extreme vetting of refugees, especially because I listened to people like James Clapper and James Comey and Michael Steinbeck and our CIA director John Brennan, and people like Mike McCall, House Homeland Security Committee Chair and people like former special envoy to defeat defeat ISIS General John Allen and they've all warned that ISIS will infiltrate this population.
	I take them seriously.
	Anyway, somebody that probably knows more than we could ever hope to know in any lifetime about intelligence and the need for it is the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency under President Bill Clinton.
	James Woolsey is with us.
	Mr. Woolsey, sir, how are you?
	Glad you could be with us.
	Good morning.
	Mr. Woolsey, are you there?
	Yes.
	How are you?
	Welcome to the program, sir.
	All right.
	I'm going to the debate tonight, and my uh the driver that uh television station provided, and I have been uh wandering around Long Island for over two hours and uh everything is blocked by uh uh every imaginable law enforcement agency.
	Well, don't they know who you are?
	You are the former director of the CIA that might have a little clout, you know.
	Uh it's not worth a damn thing in that department.
	Uh boy, you know, um well maybe I could help you uh if you'd like if after the call I'll give you some information, but uh it is very difficult.
	Obviously, this is a big security day in Long Island, and I know it's very tough to get around.
	Uh are you on Hempstead Turnpike yet?
	Uh I think we just passed Hempstead termpike for like this eleventh or maybe fourteenth time.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I got it.
	Uh that's pretty funny.
	Uh well, listen, let me ask you this.
	You you actually said this.
	You said, quote, I'm a scoop Jackson, Joe Lieberman Democrat.
	I have been my entire life.
	I'm pleased to be asked to participate with others in advising GOP candidate Donald Trump on the urgent need to reinvest and modernize our military in order to confront the challenges of the twenty first century.
	Um you said Trump's commitment to reversing the harmful defense cuts signed into law by the current administration while acknowledging the need for budget and debt reduction is an essential step towards reinstating the United States uh in its uh primary position in the conventional and digital battle space.
	Now you served as Bill Clinton's first CIA director from ninety-three to ninety-five, correct?
	Right.
	Why are you supporting Donald Trump?
	Well, I've uh worked for and had presidential appointments uh from two Democrats and two Republicans, uh from uh uh Clinton and Carter and from uh Reagan and uh H.W. Bush.
	Uh I don't look on uh the security of the country as first and foremost a party uh matter.
	Indeed, uh if I cared that much about party affairs, I wouldn't be a scoop jacks that jump as well.
	Certainly not enough to form a party.
	Um but uh I uh so I d I really don't consider party.
	I I look at people and and the needs of the country and uh and uh I've only actually worked in two political campaigns in my life before now.
	Yeah, well, you know, it's fascinating to me because I agree with your assessment about our military.
	Don't you think when James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, the FBI director call me, the assistant FBI director Steinbeck, the CIA director Brennan, the House Homeland Security Committee Chair McCall, the former special envoy to defeat ISIS, when they all say that ISIS and other groups are likely to infiltrate the refugee population, isn't that a dire warning to the American people?
	Uh I think it should be considered such, uh absolutely.
	Uh it's a uh um a uh uh very serious situation because uh uh a lot of the uh uh terrorists are coming from uh Syria and uh the poor Syrian people have been so murdered and uh and killed uh by uh Assad and now to some extent by Russians and certainly by Iranians,
	that uh there's uh um it's a desperate uh situation there what one wants to help uh the the people particularly who are are uh uh uh have been so oppressed, but uh we've got to be careful who we uh admit to the country.
	And uh uh that's a hard part of the world to do uh uh uh uh assessments uh and in uh because uh you could probably buy a uh uh passport for a few dollars and much of Syria, etc.
	It's uh it's just very difficult to uh get uh get uh uh well we actually know that that's a fact I mean because we actually have discovered that they they're printing passports and and selling them that cheap.
	Uh sure isn't there isn't there another alternative and this is what Trump has proposed, you know, a safe zone a safe zone the way militarily uh a a a let's say a coalition of nations can defend the area.
	We could provide food, water, medicine, supplies, baby formula, blankets, cots, all the necessities that the people would need until the Civil War is over and they can safely go back to their homes.
	I uh I think that's right.
	Makes a lot of sense.
	Uh it's uh uh not gonna would not be easy to organize with the Russians and the Iranians uh playing uh uh the games they're playing uh now uh but it's uh uh it's a very sound idea it it's it's a good policy.
	Um we would probably have to to modify it uh quite a bit if we wanted it to be effective but it's uh it's it's a it's a sound and reasonable proposal for a presidential candidate.
	Mr. Woolsey the nine eleven commission report said they, meaning radical Islamists were at war with us and we were not at war with them and they specifically cited examples the bombings at at the the compounds in Kenya and Tanzania they they cited the U.S. as coal the first trade center bombing and then we didn't pay attention to any of these things leading up to nine eleven.
	Are we going to have another nine eleven style event in America and then are we going to look to events that had happened in Europe in Belgium and in Paris and in Germany are we going to look at what happened in Orlando in San Bernardino and Chattanooga in New York and New Jersey and we're going to say we should have paid attention to these things?
	Sure.
	And unless we are very, very lucky, we'll have something and it will be bad.
	But this is not easy to stop in an open society.
	It's like playing a lethal form of hockey in which if one, and you're the goalie, and if one shot gets through, everything goes.
	So it's really tough.
	I uh uh heart goes out to the people who have the uh the job of sorting uh through that what uh what I think one uh has to do is collapse them into despair.
	They have to believe that what they're doing is failing.
	And so we have to go at them twice in two areas.
	One is here, and we probably have to change our policing methods to make it much more like what Giuliani and Kelly did with the broken windows approach in New York, but adapt that to terrorists and potential terrorists.
	We can use modern data techniques, metadata to sort through and pay attention to the characteristics and backgrounds of people.
	When somebody has gone on several trips to Afghanistan, uh uh it they probably should be looked at for very special uh attention uh doesn't Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria.
	Yeah, a lot.
	Uh i i it's uh but and then the data I I mean uh uh uh today uh uh Google uh uh probably knows more about you and me and your listeners uh uh certainly they know more than say does the U.S. government uh because they've got huge uh uh data capabilities they can tell what you bought where you travel uh etc.
	better at things through of Sapient and other companies that have access not to secret data.
	This is all publicly available, but there's so many such huge deposits of it.
	It can help police keep track of potential.
	Well, let me ask you this.
	If we don't listen to Comey and all these people that keep warning us ISIS can infiltrate and Hillary Clinton wants a 550% increase in refugees, am I right?
	in my assessment, that she's willing to gamble with the lives of the American people?
	Well, I think that would definitely be the case unless she has some approach toward vetting that is better than anybody has invented so far, particularly for that part of the world.
	And I think that it's irresponsibly large, given the limitations and numbers of our federal government forces and organizations that are responsible for searching this sort of thing.
	That's pretty scary.
	uh would you ever go back into government would you ever consider going back to the CIA or any of those positions uh I uh uh have had a fascinating career in in and out of government uh private lawyer and consultants and working on energy issues and uh which I'm fascinated by and now uh uh and been in the government for twelve years working in four different administrations I said uh I I think I'm uh delighted to let that sit as it does.
	If somebody wants my advice, and they're, as Donald Trump does, asked me to advise him, and the outcome of his succeeding would be better than the outcome of his opponent, and I think it definitely would be better, I'll be glad to help.
	I'm not looking for any kind of full-time job.
	All right.
	Well, former CIA Director Wolsey, I hope you can get to the debate.
	You have a little over four hours to go, so we wish you all the best.
	I'm sorry I'm sorry about the inconvenience in my in my home county by the way the second highest property tax county in the country but welcome aboard sir and we'll see you tonight.
	Thanks a lot take care.
	All right eight hundred nine four one Sean when we come back a little over four hours now to the first presidential debate we've got the best election coverage continuing.
	Ryan's previous who has been part of Donald Trump's preparation he'll join us coming up next.
	Look people who agreed to support the nominee that took part in our process they used tools from the RNC.
	They agreed to support the nominee they took part in our process we're a private party we're not a public entity those people need to get on board.
	Um and and if they're thinking they're gonna run again someday you know I think that we're gonna re evaluate the process of the nomination process and I don't think it's gonna be that easy for them.
	Would the party itself penalize somebody who does not make good on the pledge that they made to support the party I think these are things that our party's going to look at in the process and I think that people who gave us their word used information from the RNC should be on board.
	I mean part in the process sure Governor John Kasich so if he wants to run again seems like he might want to he might be out of luck as far as the RNC goes.
	Well I listen people are in our party are talking about what we're going to do about this.
	I mean there's a ballot access issue in South Carolina.
	In order to be on the ballot in South Carolina you actually have to pledge your support to the nominee no matter who that person is so what's the penalty for that?
	It's not a threat.
	It's just a question that we have a process in place.
	And if a private entity puts forward a process and has agreement with the participants in that process and those participants don't follow through with the promises that they made in that process what what should a private party do about that if those same people come around in four or eight years.
	Alright news roundup information overload hour here on the Sean Hannity show now less than four hours to tonight's big debate Hofster University, Hempstead Long Island, New York and that was Rheinz Privus who has been involved in some of the preparation for Donald Trump leading into tonight's debate that was him talking about other presidential candidates that have refused to honor their pledge and support the nominee or the eventual nominee which became Donald Trump among them Jeb Bush,
	Lindsey Graham and John Kasich and as everybody knows Ted Cruz gave a strong endorsement to Donald Trump on Friday he's the chairman of the Republican National Committee.
	How are you sir?
	Hey doing great and feeling good Sean Yeah all right well first let's talk about the pledge.
	I mean they all signed it they all agreed to it they all got benefits because they signed the agreement correct?
	Yeah I mean there is three different agreements there was the data exchange agreement not everyone signed that but most did everyone signed the ballot access agreement in South Carolina and let me just take ten seconds on that.
	That was basically an agreement in South Carolina that if you were wanted to be on the ballot in South Carolina we said that's fine you can be on the ballot but you have to tell us that you're gonna support whoever wins the primary and they all signed that.
	And then of course we came up with the other pledge which was after the Fox News debate and we came up with that pledge which was just a a straight up pledge and everyone signed that.
	So look my view is people need to honor their word I will tell you I'm very pleased that Ted Cruz uh did uh endorse and uh last Friday.
	But one other thing I want to say that's positive about Senator Cruz, and quite frankly, one and I will tell you about Jeb Bush's campaign has done the same thing.
	They have been giving back their data to the party and and and and doing the things that we needed them to do uh for the uh data exchange agreement, that will help Donald Trump a lot.
	So we're getting there, Sean.
	I I I I I I want to tell you, I think you should be a little bit more.
	Well let me let me let me say this.
	I mean I think if anybody had a right, if it got contentious between any two candidates, it was Cruz and Trump, um, maybe for obvious reasons, but they so but the fact that he did it, but you know, it's not enough the data exchange for me.
	They they said they would support the nominee.
	And the you know, one person in particular that I am befuddled by, I don't know what words to even describe it, and it doesn't seem to be hurting Donald Trump in any way, is John Kasich.
	And well, you know Well, look, I I I d I think we can still have hope, Sean.
	And you know, I'm I'm not sure.
	Well John Kasich made the promise, he signed the pledge, right?
	He gave his word, and when you give your word, you're supposed to keep your word, right?
	No, that's right.
	I agree with that.
	I totally agree with that.
	And we have some time, and I I kind of want to keep working on this with his folks and try to continue the conversation.
	I've made some comments publicly, which I think you just played before I got on.
	I I think honoring your word and taking part in the process and ultimately owning up to that word and that process is really important.
	And I think they get that too.
	I really do.
	I think I know you're frustrated, and you are you and I talk off the line, we're both frustrated, but I do think.
	I don't think we should have to beg people to honor their word.
	I think they should do it as a matter of course.
	I agree with that a hundred percent.
	And I'm I don't think I don't think you should have to go out there and spend your valuable time trying to coax them into keeping their word either and and having to come up with punishments for the little babies that picked up their toys and went home.
	But you know what?
	I don't even think it's significant at this point in terms of the race.
	Let me ask you more important questions.
	Like, for example, uh, you were with Donald Trump throughout a lot of his preparation for the debate.
	You know, we keep reading a lot of stories, it may not have been conventional and in it in as much as he didn't have mock debate sessions with somebody acting as Hillary Clinton, you know, fire or you know, trying to be like Hillary Clinton.
	What did you think of the debate sessions?
	How prepared is he tonight?
	What can we expect?
	Well, I think everyone prepares differently.
	I think Donald Trump's going to be really uh prepared and ready for tonight.
	Uh I think that he's also very nimble.
	We saw that in the twelve debates that we had.
	He's quick on his feet, he's witty, he's clever.
	Um and he says things the way that a lot of people are thinking.
	And so I think it's a great combination.
	He's a game time guy.
	Uh he when the lights are on, I think he's very good.
	We've seen it over and over again.
	He's done what fourteen finales of the apprentice, he's been successful in business.
	I really think he's going to be ready.
	And uh look, he's the change candidate.
	The electorate wants to change, Sean.
	And any time you have a big change election with a change candidate, the usually the last thing to break is that feeling in people's minds when they look on TV and they said, you know, I think he can be president.
	When that snaps, the electorate is going to jump.
	And you're kind of You see, I agree with that.
	I think I think that's the break that I would expect in this campaign.
	I think Hillary's kind of maxed out, to be honest.
	I mean, she's been in the public eye all these years.
	I think people have concluded she's not honest, she's not trustworthy.
	She can't run on her record, she can't run on Obama's economic plan, which she said she'll continue.
	She can't run on character issues, so the only thing she's got left is to try and convince people Donald Trump doesn't have the temperament to be president.
	Well, and also she is the same person that will rattle off one policy provision after the next.
	But she's also the one person that had the opportunity to accomplish these things over almost thirty years, and she not only didn't do it, but she made things worse.
	So if she speaks tonight to your audience, and she starts talking about all of her ideas and foreign policy, everything she wants to do with ISIS.
	Well, she had the chance.
	She was the Secretary of State.
	I don't I don't know how many secretaries of state farmers there are out there listening to this, but I bet you not many.
	And she was in that spot and she failed.
	I think that's all a good point.
	The question is, as is Donald Trump ready, and you were with him even yesterday.
	Is he ready for her to go on the attack?
	And what is the best response to that?
	For example, I mean he got into it pretty heavy with people like I guess Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz at different points in the campaign, but you know, a lot of people think, well, she's a woman.
	You better be very careful because she's a woman and you gotta treat her differently.
	What is your advice on that?
	Well, I do think you need to be careful of tone and the way that you handle yourself in in any situation.
	I think she has to be careful.
	Um, she was screaming the other day that she should be fifty points ahead and couldn't believe that she wasn't.
	I mean, all of these things matter.
	My my I I think that one thing you have to trust, you you have to have a good gut feeling on these things, and and Donald Trump does, Sean.
	He's got a good read on people, he understands the situation he's in.
	I quite frankly think he's really felt the gravity of the presidency over the last few weeks as well.
	Just the you know that shift from the bruising primary to the general, and then sort of just the magnitude of what's happening uh with under what forty-six days ago or so.
	By the way, people that that is something I have seen over the course of what now my thirtieth year on radio.
	I've seen it.
	And it there is there is a point where everyone realizes the magnitude of that office.
	I mean, it's one thing to say, all right, I think I'm gonna run.
	Another thing to realize you are now there, and you could be there, and you could be the person in charge.
	And I there's something else.
	I don't know if you experienced this the first time you ever walked into the Oval Office.
	It's it's it the office impacts you.
	Because it's it's it's beyond symbolic because it it is the center of power in the entire free world.
	And there's a majesty to that office.
	Yeah.
	And people's lives are counting on you to deliver and and follow through with promises.
	And he gets that.
	He wants to be he listen, he wants to do well, he's working hard, she's never run for office before.
	Hillary's been doing it forever.
	I think the total burden is on her completely to crush it tonight.
	So she's in a tough spot because everyone expects her to have every little tiny detail about every little thing, and you know, you know, start naming the cabinet of Tajika stand.
	You know, she might be able to do it, but what she can't do uh is actually follow through on this knowledge and get something done, which she hasn't been able to do, and she's had the unique chances to do those things.
	What do you make of Nate Silver adjusting his projection now in favor of Donald Trump at fifty four point nine percent?
	Well, I like it.
	Uh but ultimately I'd like it if in about a month you and I are still having that conversation.
	I like I said before, and I mean this, and I think you oh you know this.
	That the electorate is about to break, and they want to break for Trump.
	Just like in nineteen eighty, the election didn't want four more years of Jimmy Carter.
	They it was concluded that they didn't want four more years of Jimmy Carter.
	But it was only until the voters saw Ronald Reagan and said, I think he can be president, I can see that happening, and then the bottom fell out.
	So that's where we're at here today, although I would say Donald Trump's actually in a pretty good spot in the polls.
	We're better off today than we were four years ago.
	Um and our candidate has a higher upside than Hillary.
	I mean, his ceiling is much higher than hers.
	It's gonna be a fascinating night, uh, by any estimation.
	And uh I tell you, it's gonna be very interesting to watch um this projecting.
	They may have a hundred million people watching this debate tonight.
	That would be a record.
	That's gonna be unreal.
	All right, well, I'm looking forward to it.
	And I'll see you in the uh spin room uh immediately thereafter.
	Uh, Ryan's previous on the Sean Hannity Show, GNC uh for RNC chairman, of course, eight hundred nine four one Sean is a toll free telephone number.
	All right, let's get to our phones here.
	In the meantime, we have let's say hi to Dr. Sam in Montana.
	Dr. Sam, how are you?
	You a real medical doctor?
	Yes, sir.
	Hi, Hannity.
	It's a pleasure talking to you today.
	Pleasure's all mine.
	What kind of doctor are you?
	I am a neurologist.
	My specialty is neuromuscular diseases.
	I've been doing this for over two decades, and in my opinion, uh Hillary Clinton's afflicted with a fairly uncommon neurological disease called myasthenia gravis.
	I'm going to spell it.
	M Y A S T H E N I A, and the second part is gravis, G-R-A-V-I-S, which affects muscles.
	It fluctuates so it comes and goes.
	It can explain all her symptoms.
	She does not have Parkinson, she does not have seizures.
	The head bobbing that you have seen on the video from July is caused from neck weakness from myasthenia gravis and her eye movements is from eye muscle weakness, which is also from the same disease.
	Now, would that explain her fall, or do you think that was really associated with pneumonia?
	No, I think her fall was actually a fainting spell.
	She collapsed.
	Uh most people, when they faint, it's a matter of seconds.
	And that could have been the pneumonia or the uh dehydration, whatever the case.
	Now, one of the interesting things is that myasthenia gravis is set off or exacerbated by infections such as pneumonia and also the medication, the antibiotic that she received by the name of Leviquin, which is contraindicated in my asthenia gravitation.
	I took Leviquin once and it's pretty strong.
	Let me ask you, would it explain this this high pitched out of sort of control interview she gave last week?
	No, I don't think so.
	Um if there's a medical reason for that, and and this is kind of uh drawn at straws, it would be uh maybe the steroids.
	But I I don't uh I'm not I'm not sure what happened.
	So you think she's on like a heavy dose of prednisone or something like that?
	Yeah, I would for myasthenia gravis.
	And uh the interesting thing is that on September 20th, when she gave the interview in Philadelphia, she had severe ophthalmole paresis, which means that the eyes were very weak.
	That's what people call cock eyed eyes, etc.
	The next day when she spoke in Orlando was near uh.
	I'm running out of time.
	Let me ask you this question.
	Do you think that they can give her enough medicine tonight that she would be fine that they'd be able to control everything for a high pressure situation like tonight?
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	All right, just checking.
	All right, doctor.
	Interesting theory.
	We appreciate it.
	All right, when we come back wide open telephones, you want to be a part of the program, 800-941 Sean.
	If you want to join us, I think this is pay very, very close attention.
	This is gonna be one hell of a debate tonight uh by any standard.
	Just fascinating.
	And um I'm just I'm looking forward to it.
	It's time to get the game on.
	We're here we are on how many days, 43 days till election day.
	It's time.
	Let's get this game going.
	And a lot at stake tonight.
	We'll be watching, and uh, let's see what happens.
	Let's go to the phones.
	Barbara is in Long Island, listening to the all-new AM 710, W O R the voice of New York, New Jersey, and Long Island.
	And how are you, Barbara?
	Glad you called.
	I'm great.
	Thanks for taking my call, Sean.
	Thank you for calling.
	What's going on?
	Well, I'm very excited about tonight's debate.
	I think it's going to be an opportunity that Donald Trump is going to get to show America who he really is and all the great things that he can do for our country, because Lord knows we need it to get fixed.
	And um, I think that he hasn't had a chance to be really portrayed properly through all these negative ads that Hillary Clinton is running.
	And when I see her negative ads, they make me want to vote for him even more.
	You know, look, I think her spending all of this money and getting nothing back.
	It's it seems to remind me of all the money that Jeb Bush was spending in the primary.
	You know, he's spending five thousand dollars on average per vote, and he's not getting anything any bang for his buck, and I think the oversaturation of ads, I think people just tune them out now.
	Uh when I was in Cleveland last week with Trump on that town hall, you know, when we flew in the night before and I'm watching TV and there's one ad after another, I just I don't even pay attention to it.
	Well, they don't also seem to give him any credit for getting as far as he has without spending all the money she spent and running all these ads.
	And isn't that the way we want the government to be run effectively with the least cost for the money?
	I just I just think what's fascinating to me is this is the same rules are not applying here this year, and there's a reason for it.
	And I think the main reason is government has failed on such a colossal level.
	Absolutely and it's all of the things that I mention every day.
	It's failing people.
	And people now are being impacted by these two dopey parties in Washington that kinda seem to be working almost in unison half the time, both arrogant, both out of touch, and and certainly not responsive to the needs of the American people.
	And that's why when the poverty rate goes this high and the unemployment rate goes this well, not the unemployment rate.
	The labor participation rate is is the worst since the seventies and the worst recovery since the forties and the lowest home ownership in fifty-one years and twelve million more Americans on food stamps and eight million more in poverty, and you double the debt in the process, people say, What you know, what the hell is this?
	And this is not government functioning for by for the people.
	It's not.
	It's it's government for themselves to satisfy their own ambition.
	His res his message has resonated with me so much because I'm like many people I know, we want to take back our America.
	We want our government to stop telling us what we need to do that obviously they're not doing very well.
	And many of the people that I know this year don't see it as Republican versus Democrat.
	It's who's gonna do the better job and who's gonna get us out of the mess of all the things that you just mentioned.
	And it's not about I think this year I I think they're missing the point.
	It's not uh about Democrat versus Republican.
	It's about who's gonna fix this country and who's trustworthy, and she's not.
	She's gonna do the same.
	You know, and look, that's the what made it somewhat ironic.
	I mean, they tried two power moves before the debate tonight to get into Trump's head, and I think both failed colossally on a colossal level.
	And that is one putting Mark Cuban in the front uh row, and then you have Mark Cuban on tape saying what we played earlier in the program that if he saw a black kid in a hoodie, he'd go to the other side of the street and that he's admits he's prejudiced and he admits he's he's bigoted.
	Okay.
	Hillary, are you gonna denounce?
	Are you gonna disinvite him?
	So I think that was a big mistake.
	The second thing that I think they tried to do is say, well, Trump's a liar.
	If they want to open up the are you honest question, she's got a lot of baggage there, as I pointed out in the first hour today.
	Anyway, thank you, Barbara.
	It's gonna be a fun night.
	It's it's a proud moment for Hopster University, by the way.
	We got to give them shout outs.
	It's a great school, it's on Long Island and in Hempstead, and you know, it's been uh it's it's just a great place, and and every election year they do really well.
	Uh Jim in San Francisco.
	Jim, hi, how are you?
	Glad you called, sir.
	Good Sean.
	How are you doing, my friend?
	I'm good.
	What's going out there in liberal land San Francisco?
	Well, yeah, out here in Pelosi Land, we're just uh we're all rooting for Hilly.
	Okay.
	So you're gonna vote for Hillary in San Francisco.
	I'm I'm kind of already put the electoral votes of California in Hillary's column.
	You know what?
	Your state is gone.
	Do you enjoy paying your thirteen percent state income tax?
	Thirteen and a half percent?
	Compared to the rest of the country, it's about bad.
	It's about half where we are.
	But no, uh the state tax is actually more than any other state in the country.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	13 and a half percent.
	So you're paying forty percent federal tax.
	Hang on, so you're paying forty percent.
	Let's do the math and let's see how smart you are.
	So forty percent state income uh federal income tax, thirteen and a half percent state income tax, that's fifty-three and a half percent.
	Then you gotta pay FICA taxes.
	How are those property taxes out in San Francisco?
	I bet the property tax rate is pretty high, right?
	It's not bad.
	And how's the sales tax out in how's the sales tax out in California?
	Well, compared to where you live, it's not like how's the sales tax in California?
	Okay, good.
	So you're paying a good sixty plus cents out of every dollar to the government, and you think that's just fine, right?
	Well, it's California.
	Okay.
	Then that's listen, that that's the point.
	It's the you know, United Socialist State of California.
	You know, you enjoy it out there, but I'm not.
	And there's a reason why you're losing population every ten years because people are getting the hell out of California.
	And they're going to states like Texas.
	Now, I don't mind Californians moving to Texas.
	Just don't bring your liberal policies with you.
	You've already destroyed one great state.
	Don't destroy another great state.
	All right, appreciate it.
	Let's go back to our phones as we say hi to Vinny.
	Vinny is in Comac, New York, also out in Long Island.
	What's up, Vinny?
	How are you doing?
	Hi, Sean.
	How are you?
	I'm very uh you're a great American, and uh you're gonna talk to you this afternoon.
	My hometown, what's going on?
	My home's my home, well, I grew up in Long Island.
	What's going on?
	Not too much.
	Uh, I'm very excited about the debate tonight, and I'm also frustrated with with our Republicans.
	I think tonight Donald Trump is going to show the entire country the differences between him and Hillary and how he will straighten it, straighten out the country, protect the borders, protect the country, get the economy moving again, and just show the the major differences between the two candidates.
	And if all she's going to do is try and bait him to make him commit her as a bully, and I mean she's really got no record to run on, so that's the only thing she can do.
	I mean, I think it's just gonna be people will see the differences and what a leader he is and how she has no backing, there's no uh no record to run on and and the major differences between these candidates.
	Look, I know we put a lot of emphasis on these debates, and I guess you know, it they are what they are, but to me, the election is about this.
	It's about do you want a president that can say radical Islam or not?
	Do you want a president that will vet refugees and listen to our top intelligence officials or not?
	Do you want originalists on the court or not?
	Or you want activist justices like Hillary will appoint?
	Do you want a president that will control our borders and build a wall or Hillary's bridge that she wants to build?
	Do you want lower taxes or do you want higher taxes?
	Do you want to incentivize corporations to invest in America or not?
	Do you want energy independence or not?
	Do you want Obamacare repealed or not?
	Do you want education but sent back to small towns, municipalities, and states or not?
	And I just think it's it's the biggest c compare and contrast election that you'll probably have in your lifetime.
	She is agree with you more, Sean.
	It's a it's uh it's really a vast difference.
	And the all the polls are tightening, and it's frustrating to not have the backing of the Republican establishment.
	All of these guys up in in Washington now, you have Ryan and you know McCain and and Dorothy Cruz came out Friday half-heartedly to back in.
	But where's Jeff Bush?
	Where's McConnell?
	Lindsay Graham, where are all these guys?
	There's votes out there.
	I don't think that I don't think I don't think it matters.
	I honestly at this point, I don't think it matters.
	It's it's Trump versus Hillary.
	Let's see who let's get the game on.
	Forty-three days, Vinny, hang in there, buddy.
	Uh Cindy is in Brooksville in Florida next on the Sean Hannity show.
	How are you, Cindy?
	Hi, Sean, what an honor to speak with you.
	Um your question of the day, a week ago Wednesday, was if you could ask Mrs. Clinton one question, what would it be?
	And it's extremely relevant for tonight's debate.
	My question would be this.
	Mrs. Clinton, how would you respond if Chelsea were serving our nation in a foreign country and she and her brothers and sisters in arms were in grave danger and no help came?
	How would you respond if you later found out that Chelsea was raped, cattle prodded, and murdered because the Secretary of State was totally corrupt and incompetent, and then she later lied about it.
	Mrs. Clinton, have you seen the picture of Ambassador Stevens lying on the ground dead, surrounded by Islamist terrorists, and thanked our Lord God that it wasn't Chelsea?
	And lastly, Mrs. Clinton, wasn't the treatment of our soldiers and Benghazi deplorable?
	Those are all great questions.
	You know, we've had a uh thankfully we did this contest and we had this group of people sending in what they think the best lines Trump could use on her are, and they're actually very entertaining, I gotta tell you.
	Uh yeah, I think that's those are all great things.
	I agree, those are great questions.
	You know, I love how Hillary is now trying to rely on Lester Holt to do her job.
	And even the debate commission came out and said, uh, that's actually the candidate's job.
	It's not the job of the moderator to jump in and debate whether or not what one person is saying is true or not.
	So anyway, we had a lot of you sending in stuff online.
	Hillary, would you like some of my water?
	Uh Stephen Coss writes, from selling the Lincoln bedroom to the Haitian earthquake survivors, Mrs. Clinton is the best pickpocket this country has ever seen.
	Other people have written us Hillary is so out of step with the American people she needs to be carried by the media.
	That's all true.
	The media is carrying them too.
	You know, tax foreign imports instead of taxing American small business.
	Instead of admitting refugees from terrorist nations, let's submit more inner city kids to college.
	It's a great point, too.
	Most Americans simply can't afford four more years of Obama economics.
	They're broke, you know, like you and Bill were when you left the White House.
	It's a pretty good line for Trump to use.
	While my party may cling to the second amendment, Hillary's party.
	Hillary's a party of the fifth.
	That's hilarious too.
	Hillary, before we start, am I debating you tonight or someone in your earpiece that you wore at your forum with Matt Lauer?
	It's pretty funny, although I don't know if that's true or not.
	Uh I did read it, but I don't think it's true.
	At what point did the number of so-called lone wolves constitute a pack?
	A pack we need to recognize and hunt down.
	American people get it.
	You know, I'm hoping that we get to this point.
	One guy writes, when he gets asked about releasing his tax returns, Trump should reply, I emailed them to Hillary and I'm not sending them again.
	That'd be hilarious.
	That would be so funny.
	Anyway, thank you for all of you that participated on Hannity.com was a lot of fun.
	All right, let's go to our busy telephones here.
	Let's say hi to Alice in Palm Coast, Florida.
	Alice, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Fine, thank you, sir.
	How are you?
	I'm good.
	What's going on?
	Well, uh I just have a comment to make.
	I know that Hillary's gonna pounce on Mr. Trump about the Khan family and how he dishonored them.
	But actually, she dishonored four gold star families when as their caskets with the American flag were were being wheeled off the plane.
	She told the family to their face that it was because of a video when she knew that it was not.
	And not only that, but then they sent Susan Rice on the little uh five morning show tour to uh propagate the lie.
	So she was the first one to dis really dishonor and lie to gold star families.
	Well, there's gonna be a gold star mom in the audience tonight.
	Somebody that we have had on this program many times, Karen Vaughn is gonna be there.
	Also one of the Benghazi heroes, Mark Geist is gonna be there among Trump invitees.
	So she might have a chance to look out in the audience and actually see them and address them, although I doubt she ever would.
	But yeah, all of that which should come up into play tonight.
	Look, I don't want to I don't want to burst anybody's bubble here.
	There might be expectations that are out of whack for everybody in terms of what the debate is gonna end up being.
	I'm not sure.
	Sometimes you you're so jazzed about a football game and it ends up being not as exciting as you wished it was gonna be, but I've got to imagine one of these three debates is gonna be just a classic that'll be taught in the history books, and it may very well be tonight.
	And I'd say advantage to Donald Trump coming into this debate.
	I think Hillary is really feeling the pressure, and we'll see how she responds tonight.
