	If we're honest with ourselves, and as artists, I think we have to be honest with ourselves.
	We know that the biggest TV star of the last year is Donald Trump.
	Yeah.
	No, may not like it.
	He's the biggest star.
	You know, and Alec Baldwin, obviously.
	You know, you guys are neck and neck.
	And Alec, you're up against a lot of neck.
	And however, you feel about the president, and you do feel about the president.
	You can't deny that every show was influenced by Donald Trump in some way.
	All the late-night shows, obviously.
	House of Cards, the new season of American Horror Story, and of course, next year's Latin Grammys, hosted by Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
	Mui Caliente.
	And we all know the Emmys mean a lot to Donald Trump because he was nominated multiple times for Celebrity Apprentice, but he never won.
	Why didn't you give him an Emmy?
	I tell you this: if he had won an Emmy, I bet he wouldn't have run for president.
	So, in a way, this is all your fault.
	I thought you people loved morally compromised anti-heroes.
	You like Walter White, he's just Walter much whiter.
	And even during the campaign, Trump would not let it go.
	This actually happened.
	This exchange actually happened in the debates.
	There was even a time when he didn't get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row, and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged as well.
	He should have gotten it.
	But he didn't.
	Because unlike the presidency, Emmys go to the winner of the popular vote.
	Where do I find the courage to tell that joke in this room?
	But most of all, I have to thank Winston Churchill.
	In these crazy times, his life, even as an old man, reminds us what courage and leadership in government really looks like.
	Thank you.
	I want to, on a very personal note, I want to say thank you to Hillary Clinton for your grace and criticism.
	I suppose I should say at long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy.
	I want to thank my wife.
	My wife and I had three children in three years, and we didn't have a child last year during the SNL season.
	I wonder if there's a correlation there.
	All you men up there, you put that orange wing on is birth control.
	Trust me.
	I have been waiting for a 9 to 5 reunion ever since we did the first one.
	Yeah, well, back in 1980 in that movie, we refused to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.
	Really?
	And in 2017, we still refuse to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.
	The next nominated programs celebrate culinary wizards, fantastic designers, beautiful people who rock the runway, and incredible talents with amazing voices.
	They also celebrate people who frantically race across international borders, those who can scale walls really, really quickly.
	In other words, the president's worst nightmare.
	I want to thank Trump for making black people number one on the most oppressed list.
	He's the reason I'm probably up here.
	We have a great final season that we're about to start filming with a lot of surprises that our fabulous writers have cooked up.
	We did have a whole storyline about an impeachment, but we abandoned that because we were worried that someone else might get to it first.
	I want to thank everyone in HBO.
	Please wrap it up, really.
	All right, Richard Plappler, Casey Boys, Amy Grabit.
	The shows, the other shows that just truly inspire us, the Atlanta, Black-ish, Masters of None, the Trump White House, Modern Family, Kimmy Schmidt, Silicon Valley, Alec Berg, I owe you $1,000.
	You heard.
	Yeah, can you put my mic on?
	Thank you.
	That was the madness that you heard over at the ME.
	You know, I'm going to tell you something.
	I don't care about these people.
	And apparently, nor does anybody else.
	I'm only playing it for you so you get a taste and a feel for what vitriol and hatred just exists out there for this president.
	It's like nothing I've ever seen.
	And it's, and it's, you notice it's all basically based on the same false narrative and lies that the left tells about conservatives and have always told about conservatives.
	Well, it didn't help them out.
	We have the numbers are in, the nonstop Trump bashing fest.
	You know that audience is for that audience is for them.
	It's, you know, you know, when are we going to have an award show for doctors and that save lives and nurses that comfort people and save lives?
	What are we going to have for great surgeons for those in the pharmaceutical industry, much hated, that develop medicines that save people from dying from cancer?
	You know, when are we going to have, when are we going to have it for the garbage men and women that literally take all our crap to a place to get it away from us and we don't have to burn it in our backyard?
	What are we going to have it for construction workers that build our homes and offices?
	What are we going to have it for bricklayers?
	What are we going to have it for plumbers?
	You like to go to the bathroom?
	Want to go back to the old days in a little outhouse and hang out there in the cold of winter?
	I'll be right back.
	I'm just going to run out there to the old outhouse.
	This is not okay.
	It's not okay.
	There is never an award season.
	What about people that manufacture our cars on the line?
	What about good teachers?
	You know, non-union usually.
	We're for the good teachers.
	And there are good union teachers, but you get my point.
	There's an unholy alliance with liberals and the Democrats and the teachers' unions, and they're destroying any good idea in education.
	But there are good teachers.
	And I know a lot of teachers that don't want their hard-earned money, like a lot of union people that I know don't want their hard-earned money going to one political party.
	And it happens all the time.
	Doesn't that happen with our union?
	I don't even want to get into it.
	We all have to be members of a union to work in a radio station in New York.
	Are you all members, right?
	I think so.
	No, just me.
	I'm the only union member in the world.
	You caved.
	We kept up a fight.
	It's not a matter of caving.
	You cannot go on the E.
	No, we're fighting a good fight.
	You cave it.
	I did not cave.
	I'm not a caver.
	Anyway, so the Emmy numbers are in.
	And anyway, Stephen Colbert was on track to slip below even the historic low of last year.
	And it doesn't surprise you.
	Just like with football, football's struggling again in the ratings this year because people don't tune in to see people take a knee and start their ridiculous political protesting.
	But, you know, everyone has a right to do it.
	But, you know, if I was a team owner, I would do what Robert Kraft did of the Patriots.
	I know I mentioned the Patriots, and some of you bubble and fizz like Alkinsultzer and water, and you just can't take it.
	Oh, the Patriots.
	Oh, I hate the Patriots.
	They're so good.
	I hate them.
	You got to love Belichick and you got to love Brady.
	Admire their talent.
	They're certainly better than the Jets.
	The Jets have infuriated me if they don't get their act together.
	It's just unwatchable.
	It was unwatchable this weekend.
	You're laughing, but the Giants are on Monday Night Football.
	I am laughing.
	The Jets could very well be 0-16.
	They could be 0-16.
	There's got to be somebody they could beat.
	There's got to be somebody.
	Maybe, maybe the Buffalo Bills, maybe.
	Didn't they play them in week one?
	Yeah, they lost.
	They lost.
	Okay.
	Well, a lot of hope for that match.
	When do they play New England?
	They've always played New England tough.
	That's the irony of it all.
	I don't know if this year is going to count.
	All right, but I digress.
	People love this country instinctively.
	People do not like to see the institutions of the country torn down repeatedly.
	And that's what we see on display.
	You know, people love America's history.
	Nobody's going to sit here and argue that America didn't have its original sins and America's ever been a perfect society or a perfect place.
	It does not exist.
	It never has existed.
	That is not the human condition.
	And the human condition has always been a struggle between good and between evil.
	You know, all have sinned.
	What part of all don't we understand have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God?
	We got Newt Gingrich coming on today.
	We'll talk a little bit about this with him.
	Bill O'Reilly is going to join us.
	His first interview with us since he left the Fox News channel.
	And one of the things he points he makes in his new book is that, you know, when they or he made in an interview, I was reading about it before I came in here, is that all this talk about tearing down Christopher Columbus now in Columbus Square in New York City, and they've set up a commission in New York City under Comrade de Blasio to look at every single solitary monument.
	And you've got to ask yourself, when is this ever going to end?
	But if they go after every framer and every founder of this country, what are they really going at?
	They want to tear the Constitution apart and say, well, it was founded by a bunch of racist people.
	You know, as imperfect as all of those men were, and they were all imperfect, they also were genius because they set up a system of self-governance with the principles that were endowed by our Creator and that we're best to govern ourselves and a constitution and a system that is put in place where you can correct wrongs and injustices,
	that human goodness will transcend human evil.
	And that was the beauty of our founders and framers.
	And now, over the course of history, through the prism of history, they have been proven correct.
	What do you think when America, albeit fights the Civil War, when America has a battle over voting rights and a battle over civil rights, and you see that we err on the side of goodness almost every time the right side wins and we become a more perfect union, imperfect as we are.
	Want to know what's imperfect?
	Look at what happened in Chicago this weekend.
	It was an unmitigated disaster.
	And then we've got, what, 80 arrested in St. Louis, third night of violence there.
	I mean, what I saw this weekend, 29 people were injured this weekend in Chicago.
	10 people killed, 29 wounded, and shootings just in one city.
	That's human evil.
	I've talked a lot about human evil on this program.
	You know, one of the reasons I wanted to invite Bill O'Reilly on the program, we were not that close when he was on the Fox News channel.
	And one reason we didn't really see each other a whole lot.
	And I guess it's sort of the competitive nature of our business.
	And since he got fired from Fox, we just started talking.
	And over the course of time, we realized we had a lot more in common than we probably ever realized.
	And Bill O'Reilly, I think, is a victim in many ways of this liberal effort to silence every conservative voice.
	I've never called for a boycott of any liberal or a firing of any liberal in my career.
	And they've done some outrageous things.
	They've had outrageous conduct.
	I didn't even call for the firing of Kathy Griffin at CNN with the ISIS pose severed head or any of the things that have been said about Donald Trump.
	But we now have gotten to a point, if you're a conservative on radio and television anymore, you've got millions of dollars flowing to these organizations with the distinct purpose that they monitor every word, every sentence, every phrase, and do everything possible so that they can get conservatives fired.
	They go after their advertisers over nothing.
	And if we're going to have freedom of speech in this society and a free and open exchange of ideas and ideals and opinions, we've got to let the viewers decide.
	We've got to, if I don't want to watch a program, I don't watch a program.
	There's a lot of, I didn't watch the Emmys last night.
	I had better things to do.
	I was sewing or something.
	I was doing something better than that.
	I don't sew, but I'm just making a point.
	Breaking news now.
	Shut up.
	All right, enough of you people laughing in there.
	I did it for your own entertainment purposes, so you know.
	I still continue.
	All right, so I have insomnia, but I've never slept better.
	And what's changed?
	Just a pillow.
	It's had such a positive impact on my life.
	And of course, I'm talking about my pillow.
	I fall asleep faster.
	I stay asleep longer.
	And now you can too.

	Making America first, safe and great again.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	Apparently, we got more.
	How are we still discovering new emails as it relates to Hillary Clinton?
	But we are.
	I mean, if any of you did half the stuff she did, I promise you you'd be in jail.
	I promise if you were in Arizona, you would be in jail.
	Nobody would get away with the things she's getting away with.
	And now she might contest the election, depending on how Russia gate turns out.
	Yeah, good luck with that.
	I'm sure that's not going to do anything.
	You know, I wanted a poll, but I just don't have time for it.
	Obama now is cashing in on Wall Street, gave a speech for $400,000.
	$400.
	I know, what are you saying?
	I can't read lips.
	You got to put your mic on.
	What?
	I said, damn.
	That's a lot of money.
	That's a lot of money.
	Okay.
	He's with the people.
	But what about all the, well, no, what about all the times we heard that Wall Street's evil?
	Wall Street's horrible.
	I'm not particularly fond of what goes on at Wall Street.
	I actually have.
	That's not what he says.
	He's against capitalism, except for when it benefits him.
	Of course.
	That's the point.
	They're such hypocrites.
	And when he only gets 200,000 of the 400,000, maybe he'll realize, oh, we need tax codes for the rich.
	I wonder how much he's going to donate to the victims of Hurricane Harvey and Irma.
	Yeah, I wonder if he's done anything.
	There were 80 people arrested.
	Did you see all this violence in St. Louis over the weekend?
	Absolutely unbelievable.
	You know, damaging property, spraying unknown substances on police officers.
	One cop suffered a leg injury and was taken to the hospital.
	And after ignoring calls to disperse, the arrests were made before midnight by officers wearing riot gear.
	We saw all of this beginning to emerge on Friday night when we were on the air.
	So we'll get to that.
	Diane Feinstein today, this is pretty good big news that nobody paid any attention to, says there's no evidence that Jared Kushner colluded with any Russians.
	You know what you're going to find out on Russia that you've been lied to?
	I know you want me to talk about Drudge.
	Yes, I am on the front cover of Drudge.
	I see that.
	It's a very nice picture.
	I have five computers in front of me.
	How could I need to get it?
	If you are looking at Drudge right now, America, call in to 800-941-Sean and tell us what you think about Sean moving to 9 o'clock.
	All right.
	Well, that's what I read.
	Nobody told me any of the details.
	I'm here to say it.
	I'm in my time.
	I'm in my time.
	We've got Newt Gingrich, Bill O'Reilly.
	We've got Tom Finton.
	He's got some of the new Hillary Clinton emails.
	Big and Rich are stopping by.
	You know, I've never met Big Kenny.
	My buddy John Rich is coming in the studio.
	That's always a party.
	I'm sure he'll be shooting Crown Royal in the studio.
	We'll take a break.
	All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800-941-Sean.
	You want to be a part of the program?
	And we'll get to some of your calls this half hour, I promise.
	One thing I did want to get to is: yes, we have another hurricane on the way.
	I don't know what it is about Joe Bastardi, official weather guy for the Sean Hannity show.
	Last two hurricanes have a track going directly from home number one and condo number two.
	Is that basically what we're talking about here?
	No, you're going to be all right.
	You're just going to have a nor'easter.
	It's so easy for you to say, no, I don't think it'll knock the whole house down on your head, Hannity.
	No, you're not.
	Certainly, God is sending a message to me.
	I have one little condo and I have a house, and they're back-to-back hurricanes in different locations.
	They get hit head off.
	Well, we knew Jose was going to try to come up the East Coast, but it's going to be weakening as it gets closer.
	And it is a nor'easter, and a summer nor'easter is a pain in the neck because you have a lot of leaves on trees, and sometimes the branches break a little bit quicker than that.
	But I think that most places will say, well, what was the big deal?
	Because Jose is going to be turning out before it makes landfall, and it's going to be weakening as it comes towards southern New England.
	And then it's going to turn very sharply to the right, about 100 miles south of the New England coast.
	I don't think it's anything that we haven't seen before as far as the kind of storms we get on Long Island, New England, and Cape Cod.
	It's just that it's occurring and it's got a name on it, and it is a feature that originated in the tropics.
	Now, Maria is a full-fledged beast and will be the worst storm on Puerto Rico since Hugo in 1989 and maybe worse than what Hugo was.
	Hugo came across the extreme east part of Puerto Rico.
	This is going to make a direct hit, I think, on the island and could be a category four when it does it.
	And then its path is south of Irma.
	Irma went through the islands to the east and then went 60 to 100 miles north of San Juan.
	This one's coming right across the island and right on the north coast of the Dominican Republic.
	And that resort there, I guess it's Punta Cana.
	I think it goes north of them, but they're going to get a significant storm out of this, as is the north coast of the Dominican Republic.
	I don't think Santo Domingo is going to get it that bad.
	And then it gets into the Turks and Caicos in about four or five days, and that's when we have to really start looking at it.
	Didn't they get whacked before?
	They already got hit.
	Yeah, and I think that this is not going to be quite as bad as Irma on the Turks and Caicos because I think it may be, I don't think it's going to directly come across.
	It may be just to the east and north of them.
	Are you going to become like a permanent co-host on this show?
	Are we going to have to have you on every day to talk about a hurricane or is this just hurricane season?
	Well, I think there's going to be another two to three.
	I'm going to tell you, I'm seeing the end game of this whole season now.
	And again, you know, our weatherbell.com preseason forecast, we had a red cone right from where these hurricanes are coming from, sprayed at the United States this year, saying this is the year, folks.
	I want you to understand something.
	The weather's a movie.
	It's not a snapshot.
	People will tell you their snapshots.
	They'll show you the snapshots.
	This is because this is happening.
	You could see this setting up.
	You could see that this was going to be a big impact year.
	And so it's the kind of thing that we saw in the 40s and 50s.
	And by the way, this is an extreme event here.
	Two of these monster hurricanes this close to Puerto Rico.
	But when you consider it's been 28 years since a major of these categories, Hugo, category four, impacted Puerto Rico like this.
	You go 28 years without a major hurricane in that area, a hurricane of this stature.
	You would think that, well, guess what?
	This is what happens.
	In 1954, we had Edna and Carol hit back to back in New England, two major hurricanes, and that was in New England, Connie and Diane in 55 in North Carolina.
	So there is precedent for these things clustering in a certain area, and that's what you're seeing.
	It's not completely gone, but it's not the type of beast that is going to burden Puerto Rico.
	And it may, Maria may be something in a few days that we have to start worrying about on the East Coast, but not Florida.
	I don't think it's coming from Florida.
	All right.
	Thank you, Weatherbell.com.
	Joe Bastardi on the Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-Sean, our number.
	You want to be a part of the program?
	New Kingrich and Bill O'Reilly will be joining us today.
	And John Rich is checking in.
	And Tom Fitton is going to join us as well.
	Pretty amazing.
	You know, these are all pay-to-play examples.
	How is it possible after all this time, we're still finding Hillary Clinton emails?
	How is it even possible?
	And they were at the State Department the whole time.
	And the only reason we found it is because of the Freedom of Information Act requests through Judicial Watch.
	And I'm sitting here, I'm like, anybody else that did this would be arrested, put in jail, and that would be the end of it.
	That's called obstruction of justice.
	You don't get to delete 33,000 emails that are under subpoena.
	Did you like this earth?
	What, like with a cloth or something?
	No.
	I mean, how much more do some people need to get to the truth in all of this?
	As examples of pay-to-play, you'll find the very people donated to the Clinton Foundation.
	They go to this guy, Doug Band, who is running the foundation, one of the top people.
	Doug Band goes to Uma Abedeen, and more than half the people Hillary sees as Secretary of State are the top donors, and that means the hell with the little people.
	Pretty outrageous, but we'll give you all the details.
	That's coming up in the course of the program today.
	You better keep an eye.
	I'm just warning everybody on North Korea.
	North Korea, this guy keeps firing missiles.
	It's not if, it's when.
	There's going to be a major military conflict with North Korea.
	And as I've been saying, there are not good options.
	Now, we're going to win, but it's a matter of how much damage is going to have to be done and what this guy is capable of in terms of firing at South Korea and Seoul and maybe Japan and maybe Guam and maybe China.
	Who knows how nuts this guy is?
	But certainly appeasement didn't work.
	Bill Clinton's assurance is a good deal for the American people.
	We're going to give them billions of dollars.
	We'll give them energy.
	They have to keep their nuclear fuel, but we promise they're not going to do anything with it.
	Never, ever, ever.
	You know, well, here we go.
	It's the same thing.
	And we're going to be debating the very same issues involving Iran down the line.
	And it's only a matter of time.
	It's really only a matter of time.
	When I'm done with the radio program today, I'm going to interview the president of Egypt, General Al-Sisi.
	I got questions.
	I've read all the interviews that he's done.
	I've got questions nobody has ever asked him.
	Now, he very courageously has taken on the radical elements in Islam, and he's saying that we need a reformation here.
	And I just want to see how far he's willing to go with that.
	And so it's a hard interview to do, and we can't air it tonight because we've got an interpreter.
	So it takes time to actually make it viewable for you, the viewers.
	And then we'll have Hannity tonight attend.
	Anyway, Nikki Hanley actually said what I've been saying.
	And she's warning Kim Jong-un, you better cut it out or North Korea is going to be destroyed.
	Well, the problem is, if we take out on the launch pad or we take out of the sky any of the missiles that they're test firing over Japan, or if they ever dare to shoot one at Guam, they go to Guam.
	It's basically a declaration of war.
	And Trump is going to fire and he's not going to stop.
	And at that point, what's he going to do next?
	Does he go to South Korea?
	And if he does, we're going to have to take out his nuclear sites.
	And then you have to worry about, well, will he launch a nuke because we're taking out his nuclear sites?
	Has he moved any nuclear capability to an area we don't know about and he's going to fire at South Korea or Japan?
	Who knows?
	But at that point, what's the nuclear fallout aspect of this?
	The radiation fallout?
	What does it mean?
	How many are going to die in Seoul, in South Korea?
	It's beyond scary.
	But you have no option.
	Once you give these dictators weapons of mass destruction, they're not rolling by the same rules as the rest of the world rolls on.
	North Korean fuel prices are soaring as now UN sanctions are kicking.
	And by the way, you can't even get around New York.
	I had to walk halfway to work today once I got in the city because you just can't move.
	Did you see me come in with a nice sweat on my brow today?
	You think you all will laugh.
	Why was that so funny to all of you?
	No, because you didn't listen.
	I tried to tell you at 10 o'clock this morning.
	I was like, listen.
	I left.
	Well, I'm not giving up my ninja lesson just to get in here early because the UN is here and they block every street.
	First of all, it's blocked off so far away from the UN.
	It makes no sense.
	This is like all the way in the middle of the city.
	There's no reason for it.
	Okay.
	Anyway, there's been some military efforts over the weekend, and a warning to Pyongyang, B-1B bombers and F-35s have been holding mock bombing drills.
	And the Korean Peninsula is now drawing a range of military drills and a show of force against North Korea.
	So I'm not sure how that is going to end.
	All right, this is how bad hatred for Donald Trump is.
	Remember, we told the story, and I showed it last Friday night on TV.
	Probably one of the greatest feel-good stories of the year.
	So Sarah Sanders, Huckabee Sanders, but she dropped the Huckabee.
	So Sarah Sanders, who was the White House press secretary, she actually reads a letter from an 11-year-old kid from Virginia.
	And this kid has a lawn mowing business.
	And he says he'd love to help cut the lawn of the president.
	So they invited him to have the honor to do that.
	Well, now Liberals' newest attack on Trump is he let the kid mow the lawn of the White House, which he asked to do.
	And the president comes out and meets the young man, and the president shakes his hand.
	The president brings him in the Oval Office, and the president brings him in, I think, to a cabinet meeting.
	And the kid has, you know, memories now of a lifetime.
	I was 11 years old.
	I cut the White House grass, and I got to meet the president and vice president of the United States.
	Well, apparently, Liberals are very upset about that.
	He started his own lawn care business.
	You know what?
	You know what's going to happen?
	He's admitted now that he started his own lawn care business.
	That's really dangerous for this poor kid because now the IRS will be coming after him.
	I expect a letter in the morning.
	Lois Lerner, I'm sure if she was still there, it'd be all over that.
	We can get the $3.50 per yard that this poor kid cuts.
	And people, oh, it's dangerous.
	Oh, what did he do?
	The kid cuts lawns for a living.
	And he doesn't like the president being attacked.
	Did you, any of you in there watch the Emmys last night?
	Anyone?
	You watch it?
	Jason, you watch it a little bit?
	I was in and out.
	What did you think?
	You were watching football.
	I know you.
	I mean, it is what it is.
	I rarely ever watch these things, but when I saw that Colbert was attacking Trump mercilessly, I knew I had to watch it.
	You knew you wanted to watch it.
	Of course, for the sake of the show.
	For the sake of the show.
	It's all about the show.
	I know it's about the show.
	Should I talk about the headline on Drudge now, or should I wait till later?
	What do you want to talk about?
	I think we should talk about it now.
	I'll let you talk about it, and then I'm thinking about.
	You want to give me an open mic again?
	Your mic is open.
	Just for this portion of the Sean Hannity show.
	That is not an open mic invitation for any of us.
	On my time, I can reclaim it.
	You can reclaim my time.
	Well, technically, that's what you've done.
	Reclaiming my time.
	You reclaimed your time.
	My time.
	I'm reclaiming my time.
	What are you talking about?
	Vaccine Water should do the intro to your new time.
	It should be great because you're reclaiming it back.
	I didn't get a copy of the press release, so I don't know if they announced the date.
	Who needs a press release when you've got friends to tell your story?
	Who needs a press release when the Drudge Report has it?
	Once Drudge has it, the entire world has it.
	That's very true.
	And they have a nice picture of me.
	It's a very nice picture.
	Here's the headline: News Battle Royale, Hannity to take on Maddow.
	That's not a fair fight.
	Well, I mean, she beat everybody in the month of August.
	And I came in second.
	And I'm going to tell you what's happening in cable news.
	Apparently, conspiracy TV works.
	And, you know, you know what's amazing about it is she had like zero ratings forever, but she has found a core of Trump haters in this country, like hating on the poor kid that cut the lawn.
	And so we'll be moving back to 9 o'clock.
	I'm not sure the exact date yet.
	Did they put the date on yet?
	So anybody can put it on my calendar?
	We know it's next week.
	It was, you know, or the week after.
	We're not exactly sure.
	But now they're making us wait.
	Originally, we thought it was this week.
	It says October 30th.
	I didn't see the press release.
	Nobody asked me about, you know, I was asked briefly about the press release, gave a comment.
	Isn't that Mischief Night?
	You're going to start on Mischief Night?
	What is, oh, here it is.
	Wait a minute.
	I just got it, actually.
	Breaking news just came in.
	All right, the headline is Laura Ingram.
	Why did she get top pilling in this thing?
	She's new.
	Ladies first.
	Yeah, that's true.
	I'm teasing, of course.
	Laura Ingram to host the Ingram Angle weeknights at 10 on the Fox News channel.
	Hannity moves to 9 p.m. and the 5 returns to 5 p.m.
	Fox News channel is named Laura Ingram, the host of the Ingram Angle Show, a new live primetime program to debut on October the 30th.
	Ahead of Ingram's debut, Hannity, hosted by Sean Hannity, will move to the 9 o'clock hour.
	The ensemble program, The 5, will move to 5 p.m., while the 10 p.m. hour will be helmed by rotating hosts during the interim period.
	Each of these changes will take place on September the 25th.
	That's next Monday.
	So I guess we're starting next Monday.
	I don't know.
	I think I like Mischief Night.
	I'm going for that.
	I think people should stay tuned.
	All right, Suzanne Scott said in the announcement, we are delighted to unveil this new primetime schedule for both our current and future generation of loyal Fox News fans.
	But you know what?
	That's a nice way of saying I'm like the bridge between two generations of the Fox News channel.
	I was there in the beginning.
	I'm still hanging out in the middle.
	And apparently I'm there to the bitter end.
	If it ain't broke, but.
	That's actually a good way to put it.
	I mean, in many ways, we've lost our entire, we lost Greta, Bill, Megan.
	Everybody's gone.
	I mean, I'm the only who, no, I never would have believed on the last one standing.
	I'm the last person to believe it.
	Me, I think me, Cavuto, and John Scott are the three originals that are still on the network.
	And Steve, and I think Steve as well.
	Anyway, we'll talk more about it.
	I have a lot to say about this at a future date this week.
	But I'm not going to talk about it now.
	If you want to read the story, it's up on the Drudge Report.
	You know, by the way, everybody in the media wants me to lose.
	Because, look, she's been on fire.
	So I'm starting out like I have all of my career, the underdog.
	I'm not in first place.
	I'm in second place.
	And I'm starting out in second place.
	It took Matt out like nine years, but the media will give me one night.
	If I don't win the first night, Hannity sucks.
	But that's not how cable rolls because we're in this for the long, we're in this for the long haul.
	Let's just put it this way: the world's going to be very aware of what's been going on over there at Conspiracy TV.
	Stay tuned.
	We have a lot more coming on that.
	Rachel.
	Hi.
	I'm Sean.
	Anderson, how you doing?
	I'm coming to a city near you.
	800-941 show.
	Nobody has a sense of humor.
	I'm totally messing with everybody.
	Thank you.
	On a very personal note, I want to say thank you to Hillary Clinton for your grace and grit.
	I suppose I should say at long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy.
	I want to thank my wife.
	My wife and I had three children in three years, and we didn't have a child last year during the SNL season.
	I wonder if there's a correlation there.
	Oh, you meant up there.
	You put that orange wing on as birth control.
	Trust me.
	I have been waiting for a 9-to-5 reunion ever since we did the first one.
	Well?
	Yeah, well, back in 1980 in that movie, we refused to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.
	Really?
	And in 2017, we still refuse to be controlled by a sexist, eventistic, lying, hypocritical bigot.
	The next nominated programs celebrate culinary wizards, fantastic designers, beautiful people who rock the runway, and incredible talents with amazing voices.
	They also celebrate people who frantically race across international borders, those who can scale walls really, really quickly.
	In other words, the president's worst nightmare.
	I want to thank Trump for making black people number one on the most oppressed list.
	He's the reason I'm probably up here.
	We have a great final season that we're about to start filming with a lot of surprises that our fabulous writers have cooked up.
	We did have a whole storyline about an impeachment, but we abandoned that because we were worried that someone else might get to it first.
	I want to thank everyone in HBO.
	Please wrap it up, really?
	All right, Richard Plappler, Casey Boys, Amy Gravitt.
	The shows that the other shows that just truly inspire us, the Atlanta, Blackish, Masters of None, the Trump White House, Modern Family, Kimmy Schmidt, Silicon Valley, Alec Berg, I owe you $1,000.
	All right, that from the Emmys last night, the Trump Hate Fest.
	Well, it ends in a record low number of viewers, which I don't think is going to surprise anybody here.
	800-941 Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
	We welcome back to the program.
	He's been on another extended vacation.
	God only knows where he was this time.
	I think last time he was hanging out with penguins and polar bears, New Kingdom.
	What?
	Sean.
	Yes.
	No, no, no, no.
	I went to Kiev for a security conference talking about the Russian effort in eastern Ukraine and the Crimea.
	I was working hard.
	I was diligent.
	I did not see a single penguin.
	And how many speeches did you give and how long were you there?
	Actually, I went back and forth.
	I left Wednesday night, got back Saturday night, and gave four speeches.
	Yeah, but you've been gone longer than that.
	I guess you might, maybe we just took a shower.
	No, we haven't been gone longer than that.
	I did your show.
	Last week.
	All the days go together.
	I was the guy with gray hair that was on your show.
	I'm getting close, by the way.
	Let's look at the Drudge Report today.
	All right, well, let me start with, look, there is this hatred that is cultural now.
	Right.
	And the left, and there's an audience for it.
	I mean, they just announced that Hannity is going, I'm moving back to my old time slot.
	And you got this woman that spins conspiracy theories on MSNBC and tells lies every night.
	And I guess conspiracy theory, quote, news, which isn't news at all, is apparently attractive to a lot of people that just hate this president.
	This is, it's like a, I think the sight of Trump is like a Pavlovian conditioning for them.
	Oh, I think they wake up every morning, and I don't know how much he does this deliberately, but I think when he tweets in the morning, he reminds all of the people who hate him that he's still president, and it just makes their breakfast miserable.
	I mean, they're sitting there, they can't eat, their stomach is upset, they're getting a headache, and they're thinking, oh my God, it's still through.
	The nightmare is not over.
	These people have never recovered from election night when they knew Hillary is going to win.
	And of course, she hasn't recovered either.
	So they have kind of a nice balanced commitment to being out of touch with reality.
	But the other thing that this is much deeper than just personality, and as you know, this is why I did my new course on defending America, is that you have a base on the left that deeply dislikes America, wants to eliminate it, wants to eliminate the Constitution, wants to move, you know, wants to basically create a new racism, and wants to do so on behalf of left-wing values.
	So it is amazing to me how we have allowed purely racist language on the left, particularly African Americans who use racist phrases over and over again.
	And we tolerate it.
	I mean, this was everything the civil rights movement was fighting has now come full circle.
	And instead of white racists, you end up with black racists saying things that are horrifying.
	And you have students now who are being told, we're going to have a day where no whites are allowed on campus.
	Well, this is part of a larger left-wing assault on America as a culture.
	And it's part of the whole notion that America is essentially a bad country, which has been run by bad people.
	And somehow we have to profoundly change it.
	And that's why you end up with Antifa, and you end up with this whole effort both in the entertainment media, in the news media, and on college campuses.
	I have Bill O'Reilly.
	I have Bill O'Reilly on in the next half hour.
	And one of the premises in his book is he's got a new book out, Killing England, the brutal struggle for American Independence.
	And I heard some comments that he made, and he's basically making the point that if they can destroy the history of this country and all these monuments and what they represent, you know, obviously not factoring in the human experience as one of imperfection and human beings battling between good and evil and the struggle of the human soul.
	And out of their imperfection, they still created a system that rights wrongs and corrects injustices.
	That ultimately the goal is to say, well, the Constitution is racist and America was founded on racism.
	Therefore, we need a new society and a new constitution.
	Well, and this is very close to the radicalism of the French Revolution.
	Every once in a while, you get these very, very intense patterns that build up in which people come along and decide they're going to erase everything.
	They're going to somehow, you know, you get a little bit of it with Bernie Sanders and his eagerness to create socialism in America, neglecting the results in Venezuela, the results in Cuba, the results in Zimbabwe, the results in the British national health system, which has a huge crisis underway.
	Just once again willing to go and do something that plain doesn't work.
	It goes against human nature.
	But folks who are interested, they want to go to defendingamericacourse.com.
	We laid out there the arguments.
	And the reason I did it is you and I have been talking about this for months.
	Our folks, the folks who love America, care about America, and want to take on the left and win the argument, prove that America is worthy of our support, our defense, our paying attention.
	I think what I'm trying to do in a series of six lectures in this short course on defending America is I'm trying to lay out for them, here's how to defend the right to bear arms.
	Here's how to defend religious liberty.
	Here's how to defend American uniqueness.
	You know, if we don't do that, I mean, Barry Farber used to always say there's never in the history of man been a country that has accumulated more power, more might than the United States of America and abused it less and used it more for the good than any other country, any other state, if you will, in history.
	I want to talk about the agenda now in Congress.
	Lindsey Graham, I'm told, I spent a lot of time on the phone this weekend.
	Lindsey Graham thinks he's about one vote away in the Senate from his proposal, which would send health care back to the states.
	And if California wants to choose Obamacare and New York wants to choose it and Illinois wants to choose it, they can choose it.
	But they're going to buy it and own it and it's their problem and they will do what they think is in the best interest of the people of those states.
	But if red states, if Georgia, if Florida, if Alabama, and any Ohio or Michigan, if they want to do it differently, they can.
	As a conservative, we often believe, you know, we want to get away with this issue, this whole big concept of federalism, and we'd rather send things back to the states because they tend to manage things a lot better than a Washington bureaucracy.
	Good idea, bad idea.
	No, it's basically a good idea.
	Look, the fact is that we have proven decisively for the last 30 years that Washington cannot run the health system.
	It gets more and more expensive.
	It gets harder and harder to access.
	And it gets more and more bureaucratic and spends more of its time and money on red tape.
	So in that sense, trying to find a way for the 50 states to have more creativity is important.
	I mean, my only practical advice to Lindsay and his friends is make sure you get the pledges in writing.
	Remember, they thought they had John McCain's vote up to about two hours before the vote.
	So you can't, as a guy who used to be the Republican whip in the House, you can't just rely on people to pat you on the shoulder and say it's really a big idea.
	A big idea is not the same as yes.
	And given the current tension, I wouldn't even accept yes verbally.
	I'd say that's great.
	How about sending me a letter pledging to vote for it?
	Because I think what they don't want to do is come down to one more round of getting 49 votes.
	I think that would be very debilitating.
	I think it would be debilitating, but I also talked to members in the House, and they tend to like the idea as well.
	Well, I think it may pass the House.
	I originally was skeptical, but I am told there's a very high likelihood passed the Senate, it'll pass the House.
	It'll pass the House, and they'll get it done, and they'll still be able to use reconciliation.
	You know, of course, the devil's always in the details, especially when you're dealing with Washington and how much money they're going to pour into this thing.
	How important is that they get you we both agree on this?
	Keep it simple, stupid.
	And the tax bill, I was told by some House leadership that they can't use the reconciliation process on the tax reform bill if it's less than 20 percent.
	That's what I was told.
	Is that true?
	I don't know whether that would be true.
	Okay.
	But I think it may be an argument about whether or not it pays for itself in the second 10 years under the Byrd rule.
	But my argument is have directed scoring.
	Yeah, I would agree with that, too.
	Just run over the system.
	Do not allow stupid ideas and rules to block you from doing something intelligent.
	Can you please tell that to the leadership in the House and Senate, please?
	I think I just did.
	And what about McConnell?
	Does he need to get rid of the supermajority once and for all?
	Well, I'll tell you, he's taking another significant step, I think, in the next couple of days.
	And that Mitch has indicated that they're going to dramatically weaken the ability of individual senators to block judges.
	And Mitch has been very focused.
	I know conservatives have a lot of arguments with him, but he has been very focused on getting conservative judges in.
	And there's a pretty good chance that in Trump's first term, he will appoint more conservative judges than Reagan did in eight years.
	And I think that McConnell's indicated he's not going to tolerate people like Al Franken holding up a judge forever and having in effect a one-person veto.
	We still have a real change in the Senate rules.
	There are 265 bills that have been passed in the House they haven't taken up in the Senate.
	And then you have all these Trump appointments.
	I mean, they haven't appointed a third.
	They haven't had a vote on an appointment of a third of the president's appointees.
	That to me is ridiculous.
	Well, and I think they're going to have to play catch-up in the next few weeks.
	And my prediction is you'll see an amazing number of those bills pass by unanimous consent because that's part of the way the Senate operates is that it builds up and it builds up and then suddenly it's like the log jam breaking.
	And again, I was Speaker of the House.
	I wasn't, I never served in the Senate.
	But having watched it for many years, that's the process that just, it's the nature of that particular building.
	But I do think both McConnell and Ryan have an obligation.
	In particular, as you know, I'm fixated on the tax cut.
	I think the tax cut is the essence of making sure we have a good enough economy for the 2018 election.
	And that's my biggest single concern.
	I think we're making progress on a number of fronts, but they have to get a tax cut signed into law by Thanksgiving, I think, in order to have effect in the first quarter.
	Well, I'm told that October will be the House and that November will be the Senate.
	And you're right, they got to get it done.
	All right, got to take a quick break.
	We'll come back more with Newt Gingrich on the other side at the bottom of the half hour.
	Bill O'Reilly, his first interview appearance with us in a long time.
	And since he left the Fox News Channel.
	All right, 800-941-Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	As we continue now with Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, Fox News contributor, I want to ask you about last week in DACA and the president.
	I made a very strong case on radio and TV that if the president ever concedes on the issue of DACA and doesn't get the wall funding, he's never going to get it because we always get the tax increase, never the spending cuts.
	You always get the compromise, but you never get the wall built.
	Well, and I'm talking to the White House directly, they absolutely are determined they want to get the wall built.
	And I think that they are going to get, they will get substantial funding that will go towards the wall.
	Now, you may want to call it a fence rather than a wall, but they're going to get funding to be able to put up further blocking of people coming into the United States.
	And I think it's interesting, I said on TV yesterday, it fascinates me that the Democrats hate the wall more than they love the DREAMers.
	That's such a great thing.
	The Democrats are willing to sacrifice all of these young people on their ideological principle of no wall.
	That's such a great way to put it.
	They hate the wall more than they do the DREAMers, which they say they love so much.
	That's right.
	I mean, if they had any concern at all for the human beings involved, they'd say, fine, here's the money for the wall.
	Let's find a way to legalize.
	Remember, the goal here was to not have to deport people who came to the U.S. at an average age of six.
	And for the Democrats to turn their back on the DREAMers and say, enchant no wall, no wall, just strikes me as crazy.
	And I hope that we will have enough honesty in the Latino community for people to start pointing out that it's the Democrats who are now causing the problem.
	The president has said he's willing to sign the bill if they can get it done.
	If they did pull off the Graham health care bill, if they did pull off 15, 17, a much lower corporate rate, middle rate, middle class tax cuts, repatriation, and the alternative minimum tax, postcard returns, if they included in all of that energy jobs.
	I've got to believe, and that end of the death tax, that that would end the wall, then I think they'd go a long way to not only keeping their majority in 2018, but building on it, especially in the Senate.
	I think in the Senate, they'll gain six or eight seats if they do that.
	And that's the right kind of effort.
	Then why did they make us wait a year for all this?
	Why do they always wait to the end to finally do something?
	Because it's the nature of the American constitutional system.
	It doesn't have to be this arduous and painful, does it?
	Short of a major war like World War II, there are very few occasions when the U.S. Congress moves at the pace that commentators would like.
	I'm not trying to be a smart company.
	No, you're being a total smartass.
	You really are.
	I'm trying to describe.
	This is why I'm teaching DefendingAmerica.com, or DefendingAmericaCourse.com, because I want folks to be able to learn this is how a free society works.
	It's got to be a lot of people who want to remind you.
	It's got to talk to itself.
	We've got to leave it here.
	Believe it or not, your friend Bill O'Reilly is coming on at the bottom of the hour, but it's called DefendingAmericaCourse.com.
	It's up on my website, Hannity.com.
	And we appreciate you being with us, Mr. Speaker.
	We'll see you on TV tonight.
	And we always enjoy having you.
	When we come back, Bill O'Reilly, his first interview with us since he left the Fox News channel.
	All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
	Toll-free telephone numbers, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program.
	You know, I've spent a lot of time on this program explaining to all of you exactly what the conditions are.
	If you're a conservative in the media today, frankly, if you even like Donald Trump, you don't have to agree with him on everything.
	If you like him, you're a target.
	And over the now, I've been on radio 30 years.
	I'm going to start my 23rd year on Fox.
	The conditions under which we work, if you're not part of the establishment media, are pretty severe.
	Now, the reason I tell you is because we're under fire all the time, and these different groups that are funded by multi-multi-millionaires, they pay people to sit in their underwear in their basement all day.
	By the way, whoever you are, you are a loser in places like New Mexico.
	And they tape and monitor every single word, every sentence, every second that we are on the air in the hopes that a conservative will say one thing wrong, one phrase wrong, one sentence wrong.
	And the purpose is then we can attack their advertisers.
	And they celebrate when they can bring a campaign to bring people down.
	It's never been this bad.
	And it's getting worse every day.
	And the amount of money that is being invested is in the millions and millions of dollars.
	My fellow host over at the Fox News channel, Bill O'Reilly, was the latest victim of this.
	And he joins us now to talk about this.
	He also has a brand new book out.
	He's launching today.
	It's called Killing England, The Brutal Struggle for American Independence.
	Cover is awesome.
	Bill, how are you?
	Good.
	Thanks for having me in, Sean.
	Am I overstating this?
	Is that hyperbole on my part?
	No.
	I think anybody who really wants to get an independent view of this, aside from you and me, should read Cheryl Atkinson's book, The Smear.
	That book is so well researched and documented, and it will take the reader through this machine that the far left has developed to harm, and that's the word, harm, anyone with whom they disagree.
	So Cheryl nailed it, and I'm a victim of it.
	And you, to your credit, when they got through with me and they trained their guns on you.
	By the way, two days after you were fired.
	Two days after you.
	You got it right to the folks.
	You're a lot smarter than I am, Hannity.
	All right, so you got that on tape now.
	I could have done exactly the same thing.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Get that in a promo reel right now.
	We want to put that on a loop.
	Bill O'Reilly's saying I'm smarter than him.
	You certainly handled it better than I did because you brought it to the folks.
	And the folks knew it was BS.
	And now what I'm trying to do is expose the whole thing along with you so that Americans know the danger.
	You know, I read this article.
	It was in Newsmax yesterday.
	It's one of the reasons I wanted to have you on.
	I'm also reading your new book, and I'm really enjoying it.
	And I think it's maybe one of your best killing books so far.
	And I know they've done very well and they often get turned into movies.
	But so this article comes out in Newsmax about a 2015 arrest by the Detroit police about one of these accusers that was in part responsible for the boycott that ultimately led to your firing at Fox.
	And what it found out is pretty shocking because it's pretty detailed.
	Why don't you tell everybody what it is?
	All right.
	Well, the article is posted, as you mentioned, on newsmax.com and billoreilly.com.
	And one of these women who smeared me and was given a free pass by The View and quoted in every newspaper, totally fabricated.
	I never saw the woman, never had a conversation with the woman, no idea who she is.
	Well, now we learn that she was arrested for filing a false police report in Detroit.
	We have the police report in the article.
	It's shocking.
	It's shocking.
	And not only that, but the phrases that she said I said to her, again, a total fabrication, she used in tweets years ago the exact same phrases.
	So it's a stunning article, but you're not going to get the mainstream media to give it a lot of play, even though they ran with what she smeared me.
	No problem.
	Didn't vet her.
	Nobody looked into her background.
	And here we go.
	And this is just the first of many that we're going to have for the American people.
	You have said that you have launched a significant investigation, investing a lot of resources into clearing your name.
	Where are you with that?
	Well, as I said, this is the first drop that you're going to see.
	We're going to be very precise, and it's not going to be any he said, she said, not going to be any of that.
	It's going to be facts, cold stone facts.
	And what we're going to uncover, because we're already pretty well down this road, is shocking.
	That's the only word I could use.
	Shocking.
	It's not going to happen in our republic that this kind of defamation, and it's bought and paid for, as you pointed out, millions of dollars in play.
	It's shocking.
	I want to clear something up.
	And this is a fact, and it was widely reported that when you were at the Fox News channel and we were one of the both hired at the same time, we went on in October of 96.
	And what a lot of people didn't know is, A, we rarely saw each other.
	And we kind of were a little bit competitors and at each other's throats.
	But I will say this, that since you left the channel, you and I have started to have conversations.
	And we realized, I think, that in many ways it was probably a mistake on both our parts to think that you were isolated on an island and I'm isolated on an island because I think what these groups very effectively do is they target and isolate in very Alinskyite fashion.
	And so they'll go after you and they'll go after Dr. Laura and they'll go after Glenn Beck and they'll go after Don Imos and they'll go after Rush Limbaugh.
	And then two days after you were fired, they went after me and it was a woman that had stalked me for 14 years, smeared me, lied about me for all those years, and you can't do anything about it.
	And you can't even sue because the person has no money, nothing.
	There's nothing to win.
	And then everybody in the media picks up what a stalker says and they run with it.
	And then you're playing defense trying to defend your good name.
	Well, you can't win because the media wants you silenced and they wanted me silenced.
	That's the outcome that they want.
	So CNN, MSNBC, the newspapers, all that, they don't care whether it's true or not.
	Nobody's searching for the truth.
	Nobody.
	So whatever allegation is put out there becomes a fact.
	That's right.
	And so you're left defending yourself against phantoms.
	As I said, this woman who smeared me, I never spoke to this woman in my life.
	I don't even know who she is.
	I heard the case, and I didn't know this at the time, but I found out subsequently that this woman that was in Los Angeles, that, yeah, you did have a drink with her.
	Big deal.
	And that there was actually-that was preposterous.
	There was a time stamp on the whole thing.
	That was so preposterous.
	And this was the only one that they could come up with, the New York Times could come up with.
	All right.
	And the woman says that, oh, he did something untoward.
	O'Reilly did something.
	And then after that, alleged, which never happened, okay, she was on my show for 15 weeks.
	All right.
	And then we analyzed the ratings.
	They weren't that great.
	So we didn't hire her as a contributor.
	Well, that was it.
	And then she said, can you help me with my book to me in an email to my assistant?
	I said, sure, because I'll help people out.
	I got her on the view.
	A national spot.
	We have all the emails, all the documentation.
	Didn't matter.
	By the way, if you can get at her, the accusation is what the mainstream media wants.
	If you can get me on the view, I think I'll pass, by the way.
	Thank you very much.
	I don't think anybody wants to go on that show anymore.
	But this is really, I think we are at a crossroads.
	And here's the serious aspect of this.
	I have never been a believer in boycotts.
	I have never been out there calling for the firings.
	For example, what happened at the Emmys last night was despicable.
	It was disgusting.
	It was disgraceful.
	And they paid for it with low ratings.
	But I'm not that person.
	It seems like conservatives now have become the more tolerant people in this country and the ones I call it liberal fascism.
	They want to shut down, silence any voice they don't agree with.
	And they want a monopoly of all media.
	And I think one of the reasons Fox was so successful all these years is we had many different voices.
	Look, we don't agree on everything, but look at all the other voices we have on Fox that disagree with us.
	Look, they lost the media war, they being the far left.
	They lost it.
	Then they lost the political war because Trump was elected president.
	So now they have no choice.
	They can't compete and win hearts and minds.
	They can't.
	So they have to destroy.
	And that's what they're doing.
	And it is, you know, I have to tell your audience, and this is, why don't you take a drink of water, Hannity?
	You don't say anything.
	All right, this is just for your audience.
	Hannity's the only one really taking these people on.
	Now, other commentators mention it, but everybody's afraid.
	Everybody's afraid that these people are going to dig up stuff.
	They're going to fabricate stuff.
	They're going to attack, attack, attack.
	And nobody wants to live their life that way.
	So therefore, these people have been allowed to amass a lot of power.
	We're talking media matters, color of change, the Bonner Group, George Soros' operation.
	They've been because nobody will expose them.
	But Hannity has done it.
	He started it.
	So everybody should know that, whether you agree with Sean or not.
	He's the guy that's putting himself out there to stop this.
	And I'm right behind you.
	No, I'm going to tell you something.
	I have a regret.
	I really do.
	I regret I didn't start it earlier.
	And I think they've done a very look, we're all natural competitors.
	So we're in the same industry.
	You were in radio, you're in TV.
	I'm on radio and in TV.
	And I guess there's just this natural competition.
	So there's kind of a schism, and they kind of use that schism to sort of pick off one person at a time.
	And ultimately, you're right in this sense.
	Their agenda is what they could never get done at the ballot box electorally, what they could never get done legislatively.
	Or on television.
	Or on television.
	We crushed CNN and MSNBC.
	Crushed them.
	Well, you want to come back?
	I think you should come back.
	I mean, I'm at the beach every day having fun.
	You want to drag me back into the swamp, Hannity?
	Is that what you're telling me to do?
	I think you want Back in the Swamp, and I think you'd love it Back in the Swamp.
	Look, I know your fans would like you back on, too.
	And there's not a day that goes by that people don't ask me, you know, how's O'Reilly doing?
	When is he coming back?
	Would you consider at some date coming back to Fox?
	I don't know.
	I mean, I have to get this legal stuff done.
	I have to get this investigation done.
	This is where I'm putting my energies.
	And we have Bill O'Reilly dot com.
	We do a podcast every day, which is really you're going to make me pay to watch you.
	Why do I have to pay to watch you?
	Why don't you just give me a few?
	You get a freebie.
	I get a freebie.
	And don't give me pay.
	You get a free book if you sign up.
	We can leave your house and cut your lawn.
	Come on.
	You're like the 11-year-old kid that cut the White House.
	I want to watch your car.
	BillO'Reilly.com, premium members, you get the podcast every night.
	You're going to get sued now.
	You're going to get sued for saying that you promised to wash everybody's car.
	I mean, that's the society we live in.
	I really regret.
	I do have a regret.
	I think we were at each other's throats a little too much.
	You know, that's overdone, though, because as you said, we didn't see each other.
	Wait a minute.
	Don't you regret not being nicer to me?
	You should have been nicer to me.
	Look, I was so busy and so crazy.
	You're making excuses.
	Yeah, I mean, but this is a fun fact.
	Nobody knows.
	Hannity and O'Reilly went to a Tom Jones concert together in Atlantic City.
	Oh, God.
	Tom almost had a heart attack when he saw us in the front row.
	All right, we'll take a break more with Bill O'Reilly.
	He's got his new book out, Killing England, billo'reilly.com.
	He's got his talking points memo up there every day.
	We'll see if we can convince him to come back on Fox.
	Okay, we'll take a break.
	We'll come back more with Bill O'Reilly when we continue his new book, Killing England.
	Quick break right back.
	We'll continue.
	All right, as we continue with Bill O'Reilly, I guess now my new BFF.
	You know what's amazing?
	This is going to be written about by everybody.
	Hannity and O'Reilly have teamed up to go against leftist fascists that don't want conservatives to speak.
	How do you view Trump at this point?
	And one of the things that does amaze me, he hasn't changed his point of view.
	Went through the fracket last week over DACA, but almost every speech I hear him give, he stays on message with what his campaign promises were.
	I think Kelly has calmed it down.
	General Kelly is chief of staff.
	You don't see the leaks that you saw under the previous chief, Priebus.
	I think that Donald Trump is starting to understand he's never going to get a fair shake, no matter what he says is going to be turned around and used against him, so that he's being a bit more careful, writing his speeches down, not going off script too much.
	So it all comes down to the tax cut.
	If he gets the tax cut passed, and this is going to take leadership on his part, then his approval rating will go up 10 points.
	And then if the economy spurs because of the tax cut, he'll get re-elected.
	So that's where it is right now.
	Yeah.
	Let me ask you about this book, Killing England.
	By the way, I thought at one point there was going to be a book, Killing Hannity and Killing Megan Kelly.
	I'm glad those books never came out.
	On a serious note, they've done very well, and I particularly enjoyed this one as I started it this weekend.
	I just got an early copy this weekend and the brutal struggle for American Independence.
	Apparently, at your house, you have all those memorabilia, don't you?
	Yeah, I have a lot of historical documents that show what kind of men George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin really were.
	The importance of Killing England is this.
	Just today, the Dallas public schools system announced it may change the names of schools named after Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison.
	This is madness.
	And Americans need to know who these men really were.
	They weren't perfect.
	They were very imperfect.
	And in Killing England, we tell you who they were.
	This isn't just a revolutionary war book.
	Very personal book.
	Jefferson was a very conflicted man.
	Washington was very moody.
	Benjamin Franklin was like Hugh Hefner.
	We didn't see what Benjamin Franklin was really like.
	But what they did for this country to allow this conversation that Hannity and O'Reilly are having right now, what they did and what they sacrificed and how difficult it was is amazing.
	So when these far-left people who, and the end game is this, Sean, they want to rewrite our Constitution.
	They think that the Constitution is a white supremac document.
	That's where all this is going.
	The knocking out of the statues, the changing the name of the high schools.
	All of that is going to the Constitution.
	We need a new Constitution because the One is white supremacist driven.
	This book, Killing England, is the anecdote to that.
	It will arm you with information and you'll have fun reading it.
	I think you meant antidote.
	Antidote.
	What am I going to say?
	Anecdote?
	Don't straighten it up.
	Well, listen, the last thing is, you're right.
	They do want to knock out the Constitution and is imperfect.
	Look, we've all sinned and fallen short, as the good book tells us.
	And I just think these were not perfect people, but in their infinite wisdom, they did create a country with the ability to right wrongs and correct injustices, which over time has been proven to be true and something that will continue to work out throughout the history of this country.
	If we lose that document, that foundation, our rule of law, we lose our country.
	I got to run, but it's called Killing England, the Brutal Struggle for American Independence.
	Bill O'Reilly, and we hope you'll come on regularly.
	We'd love to have you back.
	Thanks, Sean.
	It's appreciated having me in.
	Thank you.
	All right, thanks so much.
	We look forward to the new revelations, too, that you have in your investigation into these lunatics that don't like anybody to speak but themselves.
	Quick break, we'll come back.
	Wide open phones coming up also in the next hour, straight ahead.
	Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
	The laws and regulations, in effect, when I was Secretary of State, allowed me to use my email for work.
	That is undisputed.
	It clearly wasn't the best choice.
	And I take responsibility for that decision.
	I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two.
	iPhone or Android?
	iPhone.
	Okay, in full disclosure.
	Blackberry.
	And a Blackberry.
	I have an iPad, a mini, iPad, an iPhone, and a Blackberry.
	I believe I have met all of my responsibilities, and the server will remain private in order to be as cooperative as possible.
	We have turned over the server.
	They can do whatever they want to with the server.
	I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received.
	So that leaves the 100 out of 30,000 emails that Director Comey testified contain classified information.
	I did not receive anything that was marked as classified.
	Director Comey said that only three out of 30,000 had anything resembling classified markers.
	You were the official charge.
	Did you wipe the server?
	What, like with a cloth or something?
	No.
	Wow, no.
	We turned over everything that was work-related.
	Every single thing.
	I had not sent classified material nor received anything marked 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.
	So it was not true.
	And 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 classified material on my email, and I never received any 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?
	There was classified material emailed.
	People across the government knew that I used one device.
	Maybe it was because I am not the most technically capable person and 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 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.
	All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
	This is the Sean Hannity show.
	I think that Trey Gowdy montage is probably the most damning thing you've ever heard, and it makes you wonder how did she get away with all of this.
	We've got new information.
	Our friends over at Judicial Watch continue their pursuit of truth and the public's right to know as they look through their Freedom of Information Act request.
	And what they've got is new information of pay to play at the Clinton Foundation and other evidence of other deleted emails.
	Anyway, newly released emails.
	How are we still getting newly released emails?
	And joining us now is Tom Fitton.
	And Tom, of course, is with Judicial Watch with this information and proof that there is a lot more to the story with Hillary Clinton.
	What's going on, sir?
	Hey, thanks, Sean.
	We've been getting these emails in dribs and drabs over the last two years now.
	You know, Yuma Abedeen, Hillary Clinton's top aide, had a separate email account on Hillary Clinton's server.
	And she was doing the foundation business, her personal business on the server.
	Well, it turns out there were a bunch of government records there, and we've been getting them.
	At least 20 new instances of classified information on this system.
	The Doug Band, who ran the Clinton Foundation, was sending favors or asking for favors from the State Department for Clinton Foundation donors.
	So several new instances of that.
	Well, this was important that she didn't turn over.
	While she was Secretary of State, if you were a donor, you had access.
	If you were a regular human being, you had no access.
	In other words, she was basically catering to, and these emails now go into some of the detail of this, catering to those people that donated in some way, shape, matter, or form.
	Tell us specifically about those examples.
	Well, there's one example of a person associated with a group that gave between $10 and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation and paid Clinton personally $2.5 million a year, Mr. Steve Bing, one of his associates was trying to get visas for a production crew to Cuba.
	So you give money to the foundation and they make calls to get visas for you.
	Another donor wanted government appointments for him in Singapore.
	This guy gave money to her campaign, gave Hillary a speaking fee, and gave about $10,000 or less to the Clinton Foundation.
	So it wasn't expensive to get favors done from the State Department if you were a supporter of Hillary Clinton.
	It goes on and on.
	And on top of that, as I said earlier, you've got these new emails that Mrs. Clinton didn't turn over to the State Department as she effectively swore under oath to doing.
	So you've got to wonder why the Justice Department isn't reinvigorating or reinitiating an investigation into what Mrs. Clinton was up to, whether she lied under oath when she swore that she turned over all the emails.
	Now there are 600 emails that we've found that she didn't turn over.
	And we're only getting this because we're suing.
	It's not like they've been voluntarily disgorged by the State Department and Justice Department.
	Emails that may be on the wiener laptop yet.
	We're still waiting for those.
	These were all subpoenaed from the get-go.
	This is not like we should be finding it.
	Now, what we also discovered and what your Freedom of Information Act request found out was there were numerous additional examples of classified information that was transmitted through unsecure, non-state gov accounts of Uma Abedeen from, and she's the former deputy chief of staff of Hillary Clinton, as well as instances of these Hillary donors receiving special favors from the State Department.
	Now the question is, now that we know that Comey had the fix-in and Comey was exonerating her before he ever even interviewed her or the other witnesses in the case, I guess we kind of sort of now got to believe that Jeff Sessions has every right to open this case because I've always been convinced and am to this day that serious significant crimes were committed, that national security breaches resulted as a matter of this action, and that she obstructed justice in the process.
	Well, that's exactly right.
	The problem, of course, now is Jeff Sessions, during his confirmation hearings, promised he'd recuse himself from Clinton email issues.
	So now it's going to be up to Rod Rosenstein, who's the number two in the Trump Justice Department.
	It's not the Obama Justice Department.
	I have to keep on telling myself that, that would have to make any decision to reopen or reinitiate an investigation.
	And, you know, there still may be active investigations going on into Hillary Clinton.
	We still got to be clear on that because remember, Congress sent a referral to the Justice Department last year asking to investigate whether she told the truth or not.
	And supposedly the Clinton Foundation was under examination by some U.S. attorneys and FBI agents.
	They couldn't do much, but they were still looking.
	Let's go through some examples.
	Well, and we don't know, and we never have gotten any confirmation that we've ever gotten the 33,000 deleted emails about yoga, a wedding, and a funeral, right?
	Yeah, those are still coming out to Judicial Watch in a separate litigation.
	The Justice Department and the State Department, even under this administration, Sean, are telling us they don't want to get us all of those emails until 2020.
	They slowed down their release, and it's like.
	And then at that point, they'll say, oh, this is old news.
	Oh, we've been here before, which is a typical tactic.
	Let me give some of the examples that you have found.
	And you are very clear in saying these are emails we have not seen before after all this time.
	But in May of 2010, the Clinton Foundation donor and a developer, Eddie Trump, no relation to Donald, wrote to Doug Band.
	Doug Band worked at the foundation.
	He was one of their top officials and a former top aide to Bill Clinton.
	He forwards a request for help getting the Russian American Foundation involved in a State Department program.
	He sends the request to Abedeen asking if you can get this done in a meeting set.
	Now, you had previously reported that the State Department paid more than $260,000 to the Russian American Foundation for Public Diplomacy.
	That would seem like a quid pro quo.
	That would seem like a kickback.
	That would seem like pay to play.
	And then you have an instance in July of 2009, Zachary Schwartz, an associate for donor Steve Bing, contacting again Doug Band, requesting help on visas for Cuba for a film production from his crew in his entertainment group.
	Band forwards the request again to Abedeen, asking her to call Schwartz as soon as possible.
	Abedeen said she would.
	Bing donated between $10 and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation.
	You got another case in September 2009 when the chairman of a futures brokerage firm, CME Group, and the Clinton Foundation donor, Terence Duffy, asked Clinton to help arrange government appointments in Singapore and Hong Kong.
	Clinton forwards the request to Abedeen, who said she would follow up with his secretary.
	And we got instance after instance here.
	Now, what percentage of the then Secretary of State's time was taken up by people that donated to her?
	Yeah, you have to wonder if they had time to do anything else given the number of requests that Abedeen was fielding on behalf of the Clinton Foundation.
	And you may remember, Mrs. Clinton promised the Clinton Foundation would have nothing to do with the State Department if she became Secretary of State because both Democrats and Republicans and the president himself, President Obama, was concerned about that.
	And she promised she'd stay out of it when, in fact, as soon as she got in, the savor gravy chain began.
	Unbelievable.
	All right, stay right there.
	We'll have more Tom Fitton.
	Actually, Tom, we're going to have to let you go.
	We'll get to your calls when we come back.
	We appreciate you being with us.
	Appreciate the good work you're doing.
	Also, a final half hour of the program, wide open phones from now till the end.
	Hannity tonight, 10 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
	We do have some news to discuss in the final half hour of the program.
	We'll get to that.
	All right, as we continue, Sean Hannity Show 800-941-Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
	All right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
	Vanessa, New Mexico.
	Vanessa, hi.
	How are you?
	Glad you called.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	It's good to talk to you.
	I just wanted to reiterate that I don't understand if Jeff Sessions is going to recruit himself, recuse himself cheating.
	The next guy in charge of Rosency, he's not going to do anything.
	So who's going to step up to do this?
	Well, look, at the end of the day, they've got to, you know, if there's equal justice under the law and we don't have dual application of the law, then it's a no-brainer.
	She would go to jail under any other circumstances if her name wasn't Clinton.
	And I know, well, Hannity, when are you going to let it go?
	I mean, listen, we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
	We could talk about the forgotten men and women in this country.
	We could talk about Lindsey Graham's new plan to send health care back to the states.
	It's from what I've been discussing all weekend with senators and congressmen.
	It's about one vote short in the Senate and would likely pass in the House.
	So we're trying to get that across the finish line.
	We need the tax cuts across the finish line.
	Now, the problem with the 15% is then once you get to 15%, you can't use the reconciliation process.
	Had a lot of talk with leadership in the House this weekend.
	They want to get it done, but it's going to be a 20% because Mitch McConnell is stubborn and refuses to get rid of the supermajority when he could.
	It's so, so.
	I don't want to change the traditions of the Senate.
	Okay, if you don't want to change the traditions, go to a simple majority because that's the way it started.
	I'm an originalist in that sense.
	All right, let's get to our phones.
	Joanne is in Pittsburgh, PA.
	They need jobs in Pittsburgh.
	What's happening, Joanne?
	How are you?
	Glad you called.
	Hey, Sean, thanks so much for everything you do for us.
	We appreciate it.
	I am done with President Trump at this point, to be quite honest.
	He is disappointing me and everyone else in my group who has voted for him.
	He is losing the female vote, the middle class.
	Tell me why.
	I want to know why.
	You know, give me specifics and tell me, and I'll tell you if you're right or if I disagree or if I agree.
	First off, when he became president, he should have just purged the entire administration of any Obama holdover, which he did not do.
	Second of all, he is getting rid of all the people who got him to where he is.
	Third, he's surrounding himself with people like McMasters.
	Even Tillerson's becoming wishy-washy.
	The only one who doesn't get the credit they deserve is Nikki Haley.
	She's the one on them.
	She needs a shout out for Nikki Haley.
	All right, put aside last week's DACA distraction, and the president corrected it.
	And I talked to a lot of people inside the White House.
	Anyway, so put aside that.
	Where has he changed in the things?
	In other words, what he promised versus where his position is now.
	Where has he changed?
	Well, he kept saying that he's going to build this wall.
	And then he turns around and he gets wishy-washing on.
	And he's like, well, we're going to go back.
	But I already said that.
	I mean, but he has reiterated no deal if he doesn't get his wall.
	And they've actually already started repairing the parts of the wall that are up that were in, in other words, re-fortifying it.
	The wall is a necessity.
	It's the equivalent of Read My Lips, in my view.
	All right, 26 after the R as we continue hot song, Hot Country 106.5.
	No, as my buddy's Big and Rich, it's the latest from their new album, Did It For the Party.
	I can't, I still call it an album because I'm so outdated and old.
	And the climbing single is California.
	Where are you on the charts?
	It just came out, right?
	It's been out.
	It's been out through the summer.
	It's doing great, man.
	You guys never sounded better.
	You never sounded better.
	And I've been a huge fan of you guys for how many years have we known each other?
	I think since right since the beginning, honestly.
	But Big Kenny has never, I've never met him.
	He never hangs with us.
	We've been out till five or six in the morning.
	Yes, we have.
	We've been tearing it up a little bit.
	We have done that.
	And you cannot repeat these stories.
	It's all in good fun.
	Of course.
	But the worst part is if you hang out with John Rich, you've got to shoot Crown Royal.
	Well, at least once, you know.
	No, no, no.
	You don't do it.
	You don't let anybody off the hook once.
	I'm passing out double rounds of crown everywhere you go.
	I know, right?
	Seriously.
	Big Kenny, how are you?
	It's an honor to meet you.
	Agnostic.
	It's good to be here, brother.
	I know you're a liberal, but it's exciting to meet you because I've been a fan of your music all these years.
	Kenny's actually an independent.
	I'm messing with him.
	Kenny's a straight-up independent.
	He's actually an independent.
	What do you guys, because you're singing partners, you got to defend them?
	I can't let you beat up on my friends.
	I'm a fan of Big Kenny.
	I love Big Kenny.
	How did you guys get together?
	Well, we met in Nashville.
	Kenny's from Virginia, and I'm from Texas, and we met in Nashville in 1999.
	A girl that was working for Fender Guitars and knew Kenny, and she knew me, and she said, You guys got to meet up and hang out.
	And so we did, and I said, I don't know if this is going to work.
	And Kenny was like, I said, it's kind of like two bird dogs sniffing each other.
	Are you going to fight?
	You're going to hunt.
	And we decided, all right, we'll try to write a song together.
	So we wrote one song, and the next day we wrote another one, and then another, and then another.
	And that has turned into now 18 years of us writing songs together and making music.
	How are you liking it, Ken?
	I mean, do you get the road is hard?
	You're on the buses, you're traveling like a bee, man.
	Yeah, you love it, huh?
	Nobody'd be happier than me.
	All right.
	I'm just glad to be here, man.
	It's been an amazing ride that we've been on, and to be able to continue to write songs that tell you stories of the things that inspire you in your life and put them into music and put them out with a brother and to go out here and tour the world like we have and to have as much fun every time we hit that stage.
	It's awesome.
	It's the best part of it.
	It's like the old Jackson Brown song.
	You know, let me play just a little bit longer.
	You want your show to go on a little bit longer.
	Yeah.
	Which is the best part.
	Now, you guys all created the music mafia over the years.
	Spandalism of music without prejudice.
	Yeah.
	I tried to steal it at five in the morning from your brother over there.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, that was a great movement in Nashville because prior to us having this little group called the Music Mafia, which was Gretchen Wilson and Big and Rich and Cowboy Troy and all these really interesting artists, you know, the industry competes so hard against each other.
	They would actually, the artists felt like they were competing against each other too.
	Artists don't compete.
	Artists are supposed to hang out, make songs, have a good time together and applaud for each other when they do well.
	And so that was the whole premise of the show.
	Sure, it's not radio and TV.
	It's the same thing in radio and TV.
	Same thing there.
	Yeah, but you know, off camera, you guys are all rooting for each other and want to see your mother do well.
	No, no, they want me dead.
	Half the people in my business definitely want me dead.
	They hope I'm starting my 23rd year of Fox, my 30th year on the radio.
	I just got inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.
	Congratulations.
	All that rock star.
	All that means is you're old and you should probably retire now while you still can.
	But I hear you're doing the MMA now, so you can begin.
	Yeah, I am.
	I do it now five days a week.
	Yeah.
	Serious Krav Maga, Kempo, Jiu-Jitsu, boxing.
	Yeah.
	And I could really hurt you now.
	Well, you want me at five in the morning next time.
	I'll walk by the couch and my kid will jump off of it on my back.
	He grabs me around the neck at seven years old and he's going to tap when you can't take it.
	Exactly.
	How disappointing was the McGregor fight?
	Oh, that was so disappointing.
	All I want now is now that they went and they did a boxing match, now I want them to get into the Octagon and see how they battle it.
	That would be cool, wouldn't it?
	Turn the tables a little bit there.
	That would be cool.
	15 seconds is over.
	So if you could get in the ring with any other host out there in the news world, who would you like to take on, Sean Hannibal?
	I take on the world like you do, brother.
	Oh, you're going to take them all at once.
	I'll take them all at once.
	All right, here's a question for Big Kenny.
	So I came, I got really close to your brother here, and I never met you until today, which drives me nuts.
	How many times have I asked you, what's Big Kenny like?
	What's Big Kenny like?
	Is he as political as you?
	Because this guy loves politics.
	Oh, yeah.
	And he likes to, after a couple of shots of Crown, he wants to take the contrarian position and see if I have the ability to, you know, debate with him.
	And he's got that now and again on the bus.
	You do it on the but he's got this ability, even after 12 shots of crown.
	He's going to look exactly the way he did before the 12 shots.
	And the rest of us are like slinging along like that.
	That's where I get you.
	Practice, practice.
	Do you drink on stage and tell the truth?
	Do I drink on stage?
	Yeah.
	Absolutely.
	I would.
	Typically, before we go on stage, we'll always, you know, we warm a little bit and we have a little toaster crown, you know.
	Because it's a party out there.
	Everyone wants that fun.
	Absolutely.
	Well, in every show, Sean, for over a thousand concerts in a row without missing one, we played our song The 8th of November, which we wrote about a big one.
	I love that song.
	One of my favorite songs.
	And we invite veterans and active duty on stage, and we do a shot with the entire audience.
	So, yeah, we have a little shot.
	You have a lot of fun.
	That is that.
	And what's the name of the religious song that you all write?
	And I remember the water coming down.
	Holy water.
	Holy water.
	I love that song.
	Thanks, man.
	Like, you guys, here's what you capture for me with country music.
	Country music that's really good, a really good artist.
	In the course of a concert, course of a CD takes me on an emotional ride.
	And I'm going to be partying up here, and I'm going to be thinking about life down here, and I'm going to get serious here.
	You're in love here.
	You broke up down here.
	And then you end with Save a Horse, Ride a California.
	And then you end with Save a Horse.
	This new album.
	That's the way you're going to feel when you listen to it.
	It's exactly what I'm saying.
	It's going to take you on a hell of a ride.
	That's, to me, all the great artists do that for me.
	And as I said, I've been a fan all these years and a big fan of country music.
	Can you believe there's like one little baby country station in New York?
	You go down to Nashville.
	You go down anywhere in the South.
	I lived in Atlanta.
	I lived in Huntsville, Alabama.
	You could hear the actual more than one little baby country station.
	We need dozens of country station.
	We need dozens of people.
	That's a good thing.
	They know country music here because walking down the sidewalk, man, there's people rolling down their windows going, hey, baby rich.
	It's pretty cool in Manhattan.
	Well, it's like huge audience coming to your sales up here in New York.
	Oh, everybody knows who you are.
	Did you like him on The Apprentice?
	Oh, golly, man.
	I beg Trump to pick him.
	I owe it all to him.
	That was Sean Hannity.
	I donated, didn't I?
	I guess you did.
	I did have a big one.
	For St. Jude's.
	For St. Jude, Chilenza.
	That's crazy, though.
	That's a lot of cash for somebody.
	Who knew I was hanging out with the president the whole time?
	You didn't know.
	What do you think of that?
	People.
	He's good.
	Nice guy.
	John Rich.
	John Rich.
	Why should you be the celebrity apprentice?
	I mean, it was so crazy to be across the table from him for like two solid months.
	I was in New York doing that show.
	And I remember when I actually won celebrity apprentice and the confetti is falling out of the ceiling.
	Right.
	Live TV.
	Donald Trump leans over to me and kind of in my ear and he goes, you know, I'm thinking about running for president.
	He did not.
	I swear.
	He did.
	Ask him.
	He'll say, yeah.
	And he said, what do you think?
	You think I should do it?
	I said, absolutely.
	Go for it, man.
	He goes, okay.
	Do you agree with me, people?
	I've known him for decades.
	Do you agree with me?
	People do not know or understand who he really is.
	I'd say there's a good chance of that.
	Yeah, I mean, I think, but can I be totally honest?
	No, I think he's torpedoes of truth, bro.
	He's his own smokescreen a lot of times to who he really is because of the crazy stuff he throws around on Twitter.
	It drives me nuts because I go, why are you saying that?
	Or why are you doing that?
	Talk about, you know, I don't want to know what you're thinking all the time.
	Not every thought has to go out.
	No, people.
	I've said that to him.
	I said, do we have to hear every thought at four in the morning?
	But I've seen him be a really big-hearted guy to a lot of people.
	People have no idea.
	And that's the frustrating thing at times because the left now is just, here's my thing.
	You guys travel all over the country, and you know, we got 50 million Americans in poverty on food stamps, 94 million out of the labor force.
	You know what?
	Those are the good people that want to go see your shows, buy a nice house, safe neighborhood, get a decent car, send their kids to a safe school, go to Disney maybe when the kids are five, and a vacation every year, and they make the country great.
	Sure.
	People your father as a preacher used to talk about.
	That's right.
	You know, those are people we sing to all the time.
	You know, and I think one thing about music and politics, the great thing about music is you don't have to talk about politics at all.
	You come to a big and rich show and you just hear big and rich music, and those statements are made when you do the 8th of November, or you sing a song like Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy, and later by just escape everything for about 20 minutes, you know?
	Is there anything more rewarding than watching, Garth once said this, watching an audience sing your words back at you?
	Anything?
	That's the best.
	It's the best, right?
	That's just the best.
	I mean, you know what?
	I liken it to growing up as a kid in church.
	You know, just here, I used to love, that was one of the things that made me love music so much, just hearing all the voices around.
	Now, our church is probably a little different than the one that I grew up in.
	Honky-tonk church.
	Yeah, our honky-tonk church is, but it's still just people getting together and all singing together, making a joyful noise together.
	There's just nothing better than that.
	And it really unites everyone in a great way.
	Yeah.
	Where did you grow up?
	I forgot.
	Culpepper, Virginia.
	Virginia.
	Seventh-generation farm boy.
	Did you grow up on a farm?
	Yes, sir.
	What'd you grow up?
	Still take care of it.
	What'd you grow up?
	Culpepper, Virginia.
	Oh, we still grow, raise cattle.
	Raise cattle.
	Cattle's been a consistency through all of it, but we've raised all sorts of crops.
	Cattle, all you got to do is feed them.
	You don't really do anything, right?
	Oh.
	Yeah, Kenny just actually went home and weaned how many cows.
	Weaned.
	Weaning their calves.
	I weaned 150 calves.
	That's hard.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's just a lot of ground to cover when you're moving them, and they don't always act just exactly the way you want them to, or they're not always birthed exactly the way you want them to.
	Sounds like children.
	Sounds like adults in New York.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	So you walk, I play come into your city a little bit.
	Well, we flew through Cincinnati and we all got really happy.
	Grabbed a bowl of that skyline chili along the way.
	Then we rolled on into camp, scared the hell out of Marilyn Manson.
	Then the party started happening.
	Hey!
	And in the middle of a Charleston night, we ran into Jessica White.
	And a little moonshine got us right pumps like in Sun.
	Now that's one of their party songs among many.
	All right, so you got the new album out.
	Did it for the party in California?
	We just played a part of.
	Y'all headed out on tour.
	How many cities?
	Oh, God.
	We've been, I guess, about 70 or so cities so far this year.
	And we've got another.
	You guys think you're being noticed because you're, you know, Big Rich and Big Kenny and John Rich here.
	No, it's not it.
	Big and rich.
	It's because the way you dress, nobody in New York dresses like you two.
	We're trying to stand here.
	You kind of stand out, man.
	It's not, you know, what the is going on.
	It's going on with those business style around here.
	Yeah, we really do, too.
	Cowboy style.
	That's what I want to be a rock star so I could dress like you guys.
	We got a song on here.
	It says, Congratulations, you're a rock star.
	Sean Hannity.
	Big and rich.
	Sean Hannity show.
	It's called California, the new single.
	We'll take a break.
	We'll come back and we'll continue.
	Hannity tonight, 10 Eastern, Fox News as we go straight ahead.
	All right, we're going to wrap things up for today.
	So the movie that we have, you know, I got Best Picture in Toronto this weekend.
	It's the first movie.
	I'm the executive producer, Let There Be Light.
	It's out October 27th.
	We're going to be telling you what theaters we are debuting the film, but we have a contest if you want to see it early.
	LetThereBLightMovie.com/slash contest.
	All right, Hannity tonight, 10 Eastern, we'll have the latest on the Republican agenda: The President at the UN, The Danger of North Korea, The Emmys Getting Political.
	10 Eastern on Fox.
	See you back here tomorrow.
	Thanks for being with us.
	See you tonight at 10.
