I think we're having a little mic issue, guys, in the background.
Oh, we're having a little mic issue.
Oh, God.
Sorry, Sean.
Do we need an engineer that actually knows what they're doing?
Yeah, well, we should call NBC.
How did Roswell Rachel Maddow get to be a part of this?
Maybe you should explain to our audience what we just ring in.
Well, yeah, that was a reenactment of the Democratic debate last night run by NBC.
Stella performance.
Stella performance.
And then they, you know, change hosts midway through the debate, and they go to Roswell, Rachel, Maddow, and Chucky Todd.
And it wasn't working out well because they had hot mics on.
And can the producers please, please shut this up?
What is happening here?
Many of you are calling for a restoration of an assault weapons ban.
But even if implemented, there will still be hundreds of millions of guns in this country.
Should there be a role for the federal government?
Everybody's mics are on.
I think we have a I heard that too.
That's okay.
I think we had a little mic issue in the back.
Control room, we've got conversations.
I think we heard the audience audio.
All right.
So the question is simply this.
We're from.
I apologize you guys didn't get to hear this, the first part of the question.
Obviously, we're not far from Parkland, Florida.
But even if it's put in place, there's still going to be perhaps hundreds of millions of guns still on the streets.
Is there a role for the federal government in order to play in order to get these guns off the streets?
What's happening?
We are hearing our colleagues' audio.
If the control room can turn off the mics.
Yeah, if the control room can turn off the mics of our previous moderators, we will be the prime moderator.
You know, we've prepared for everything.
Guess what, guys?
We are going to take a quick break.
We're going to get this technical situation fixed.
We will be right back.
You're fired.
Yeah.
But by the way, it's what you'd expect from fake news conspiracy TV anyway, isn't it?
I mean, let's be honest.
Well, you know, look, technical glitches happen.
What are you going to do?
We prepared for everything.
We didn't prepare for this.
Glad you're with us.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza.
Now, speaking of NBC News, hosting the Democratic Extreme Radical Socialists on the stage last night, and even they are recognizing they're so depressed about the way the candidates handle themselves that they're pronouncing the winner of last night's debate, Donald Trump.
And the big winner of the first debate, the Republican commander-in-chief, by the way, was on his way to an economic summit.
The G20 in Japan emerged from all of this unscathed, barely mentioned.
Although that was probably a strategy going in.
But I promise you, that's all going to change.
But what you did get, besides being dull, repetitive, loud, and boring most of the time, 10 candidates in the room, competing against one another to appeal basically to the narrowest subset of radical Democrats.
There's no such thing as a moderate Democrat anymore.
They don't exist.
You know, they're an extinct political brand.
I think the last one we had was Senator Joe Lieberman, and then he lost his primary in Connecticut and then ran in as an independent, did win.
But, you know, when you kick out the former vice presidential candidate of your own party just a few years after he ran, you got yourself a problem.
And that is where the Democratic Party is right now.
You know, like they forget that the men.
You know, the guy who's been at pretty much the discussion of everything Democratic the last two years and they're going to be competing against next year that has more charisma than all of them combined on an awful day, you know, it's not good.
Then you got to look at where they are.
This is not a party that is governing.
This is not a party that's offering solutions.
You know, the American people have certain expectations of government.
One is, you know, they're all supposed to be public servants.
They're supposed to serve the American people.
And, you know, when Hollywood even gets it right and Hollywood says, yeah, that was a disaster.
Bill Maher says, you know, right out of the box, they couldn't answer the first question about, well, 70% of Americans think the economy is going pretty darn good.
How do you deal with that?
They won't admit a simple, basic, fundamental truth about the economy because they're just so full of Trump rage and hate.
And what they're asking is they want to go back not only to the Obama years, which economically and foreign policy-wise were a disaster, they want to go much further than that.
So their main obsession of this new radical extreme Democratic Socialist Party is hating Trump.
You know, now they want a fifth investigation into Russia collusion, but that's blowing up in their face.
Robert Mueller is going to blow up in their face when he testifies when the Republicans ask him fair and tough questions about how did you not find a single Republican?
How do you hire Hillary's former attorney?
How do you hire somebody like Andrew Weissman with his atrocious track record?
You know, how do you, you know, talk about and investigate endlessly and exhaustively, you know, things like taxi medallions and FARA violations and tax accounts, which, you know, I get it.
You had a broad mandate and ignore the dirty Russian dossier that was disseminated and leaked to the American people for the purposes of driving votes and rigging an election, Russian lies.
How do you not look into the dirty dossier, the Russian dossier that is unverifiable, but your buddy, your friend, your pal, James Comey, is the one that signed off on it as having been verified when its own author says it's unverifiable.
He's got a lot of tough questions here.
And you look at, you know, all of these candidates are just trying to go further and further and further, extreme left, which is not bad if you are happy with the conservative policies that are working.
You know, there's basic fundamental truths in life.
And Obama's record now is what it is.
Nobody ever talked about it, just like they never vetted him.
From the day Barack Obama hit the public stage and Hope and Change and Yes, We Can, you know, was echoed by the loving news media that, you know, it's like Obamagasms is how I described it at the time.
I mean, they could not control themselves or like Chris Matthews.
I can't believe I'm having a thrill up running up and down my leg.
All right, down, boy.
Hang on there.
Relax.
Calm down.
The feeling most people get when they hear a Barack Obama speech, Mike, I felt this thrill going up my leg.
I had a thrill running up and down my leg.
I mean, where did that come from?
But it prevents the vetting of Obama and Obama's, you know, the Choom gang, the Frank Marshall Davis influence.
I did drugs and I did them enthusiastically.
Imagine any candidate on tape actually saying, you know, white man's greed runs a world of need and all of this stuff where Acorn and community organizing and nobody knew anything about the what was any of that about?
I spent the last two years of high school in a days blocking away the questions that life seemed insistent on posing.
I kept playing basketball, attended classes sparingly, drank beer heavily, and tried drugs enthusiastically.
I discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate's sparkling new van or in the dorm room with some brother.
You'd met down at the gym or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl.
Wow, sounds like a great life, great preparation to be president.
Um, but they didn't investigate or care.
I mean it's been a dramatic change.
I mean, you know well, I tried, I tried it, but I didn't inhale.
No no, I didn't inhale that thing.
I just, you know, tried it.
Um, which became quintessential Clinton.
Over the years uh, you know little.
These things about these guys become very revealing.
You know, what is a community organizer?
What was Acorn?
What was Black Liberation theology that so influenced him to join the Church OF GD America and America's chickens coming home to roost and Flager and and and Heirs and Dorn, and I knew it.
We couldn't prove it.
Now we can.
A relationship with Lewis Farrakhan.
But they hid that picture as a means of deceiving the American people.
I, I doubt Donald Trump would have gotten away with such.
Uh meanwhile, every Republican it's.
You know, look at, look at it.
You know there's one thing, look at Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney and nobody doubts Mitt Romney's a nice man, he's a good guy, would have been a much better president, has the right conservative instincts, he has a good family.
He's very different stylistically from Trump.
But you know he was nice and they still called him a racist, the sexist, the misogynist.
And how dare he have women's resumes, binders of women.
And you know he cut a kid's hair back in boarding school or wherever he's going to school.
You know it doesn't matter.
If Mitt Romney's nice, they're gonna slander Smirch, smear.
You know racist sexist homophobic xenophobic misogynistic Islamophobic, dirty air water, kill children and throw granny over the cliff.
It's, it's now.
It's like it's not even every two and four years, it's every second minute, hour of every day, except it's focused on Trump.
That's not going to win them in the election.
And this then you add to that.
Every one of these people has some sick, twisted ugly version of the new Green Deal that that's not going to work either.
And i'm just look, I I don't even know who half these people are on the stage last night.
I'm like who's that?
I have no idea.
They have no charisma.
Even a Casio Cortez said it's like a bunch of high school kids who didn't seem to read the book.
That was her description of last night's debate, not mine, and it got worse from there, and it really reveals some insane things that are required if you want to be a liberal today, including adopting a Casio Cortez's Green Deal or the 70% top marginal rate on individuals, 90% top marginal rate on corporations and Medicare for all and immigration.
You know, we're going to have open borders and endless amnesty, et cetera, et cetera.
We're not going to be a nation of laws.
You know, okay.
So they even their clashes are contrived.
There's not a hell of a lot of difference between any of them.
They all hate the rich.
They all want to tax the rich to death.
You tax the rich, you tax corporations at the rates they're talking about, and then add a wealth tax to it and increase the death tax, then you're going to get what New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and California are experiencing and a mass exodus of people.
Except this time they'll be leaving the United States for greener pastures that accept freedom because everything that they're discussing here has been tried over and over again and has failed spectacularly.
You know, you take the one big signature of Barack Obama and Biden, Obamacare.
Keep your doctor, keep your plan, pay less.
It was all a big lie.
Millions lost their doctors, millions lost their plans, and everybody paid a lot more, a hell of a lot more.
In some cases, 100, 200, 300% more.
Well, that didn't exactly work, but now they'll give you Medicare for all, and we'll give you, you know, government-sponsored pre-K, and we'll indoctrinate your kids even earlier, and then government-guaranteed retirement, job, vacation, healthy food, but we'll have no gas or oil as the lifeblood of our economy.
Whoops, no combustion engine and no cows and no airplanes.
Well, we'll become a third world country in about 10 minutes.
But, you know, never mind.
The air will be healthier.
According to them, I don't know which particular country they're talking about or comparing themselves to.
How did fake news, conspiracy TV, MSNBC?
So you have the country's number one conspiracy theorist, Roswell Rachel Maddow.
How did she get to be the person that asked the questions?
Well, in many ways, that has, I guess it's, you know, a sign of the times because that's where most of these same Democrats are anyway.
Buying into hoax, lies, conspiracy theories, believing, you know, anything negative about Trump.
You know, all these candidates, all in on amnesty, all in on open borders, all in on tax the rich, all in on Medicare for all.
But how did Obamacare work out?
How does big business, does anybody know what a business has to do?
How did business people become, you know, the enemy of the people?
You know, you know, who is this economy really working for?
It's doing great for, you know, thinner and thinner slices at the top.
What world is she living in?
We have 6 million more Americans working, Elizabeth Warren.
6 million more under Donald Trump.
We have 6 million fewer Americans on food stamps.
We have the best job market that we've had since 1969.
Record low unemployment for every demographic that the Democrats claim that they have a monopoly of compassion on.
You know, African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, women in the workforce, youth unemployment.
You know, where did this open border mentality come from?
And, you know, I'm watching and I'm listening and everything is going to be free.
And then they ask, well, what is the greatest geopolitical threat to the United States?
Oh, Donald Trump is the answer of some.
Climate change is the answer of Corey Booker, Bozo Aurora, Corey Elizabeth Warren.
You know, oh, man, where do I even start?
Senator Booker, what would you do on day one?
And this is a situation that the next president will inherit.
Yes, sir.
Es de Presidente a attacko a dimonadado los immigrantes es unacceptable voya cambiar reste.
Congressita.
If I could, I'm sorry.
Oh, congratulations, O'Rourke.
Gary auster en el primer día, si utades presidente sobre à realidad que zao curriando.
What would you do, Congressman, day one at the White House?
Vamos a tratad cado persona con el respecto y dinidad que médecín como humanos.
I think of it this way.
Who is this economy really working for?
It's doing great for a thinner and thinner slice at the top.
It's doing great for giant drug companies.
It's just not doing great for people who are trying to get a prescription filled.
It's doing great for people who want to invest in private prisons, just not for the African Americans and Latinx whose families are torn apart, whose lives are destroyed, and whose communities are ruined.
I think we have a serious problem in our country with corporate consolidation.
And you see the evidence of that in how dignity is being stripped from labor.
And we have people that work full-time jobs and still can't make a living wage.
We see that because consumer prices are being raised by pharmaceutical companies that often have monopolistic holds on drugs.
And you see that by just the fact that this is actually an economy that's hurting small businesses and not allowing them to compete.
Right now, we have a system that favors those who can pay for access and outcomes.
That's how you explain an economy that is rigged to corporations and to the very wealthiest.
A $2 trillion tax cut that favored corporations while they were sitting on record piles of cash and the very wealthiest in this country at a time of historic wealth inequality.
We are supposed to break up big corporations when they're not serving our democracy.
It is not right that the CEO of McDonald's makes 2,100 times more than the people singing hash at McDonald's.
Would your plan cover abortion, Mr. Secretary?
Yes, it would.
I don't believe only in reproductive freedom.
I believe in reproductive justice.
And what that means is that just because a woman, or let's also not forget, someone in the trans community, a trans female, is poor doesn't mean they shouldn't have the right to exercise that right to choose.
And so I absolutely would cover the right to have an abortion.
Senator Warren, would you put limits on any limits on abortion?
I would make certain that every woman has access to the full range of reproductive health care services, and that includes birth control, it includes abortion, it includes everything for a woman.
And I want to add on that.
It's not enough for us to expect the courts to protect us.
47 years ago, Roe versus Wade was decided, and we've all looked to the courts all that time as state after state has undermined Roe, has put in exceptions, has come right up to the edge of taking away protection.
Time is up, Senator.
It's not true.
Anyway, glad you're with us 24 till the top of the hour from this crazy radical extreme New Democratic Party.
I mean, Sean.
Okay, we're going to have Sean.
I got an idea.
What's the idea?
So we want to.
I got a guy.
No.
In all seriousness, I got a guy.
I got a guy.
I got a guy.
So I was thinking, just a little something-something-that maybe you should host the next Democratic debate.
Oh, we're going to get into this in a second.
We're going to talk about...
Oh, pardon me.
Pardone me.
No, I'm getting to that.
I want to host me, Rush, Levin.
But you've got to host the Democratic debates, not the Republican debates.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I think it'd be great.
And tell your Democratic counterparts and say, to my Democratic colleague.
Here's my buddy Levin.
All right, I'm going to ask the question.
Nobody else does.
No, he can't lead it.
You got to lead it.
Well, I'll be glad to lead it.
I mean, whatever.
I don't have to be the lead.
I need you to be the lead.
They're never going to let me host a or ask a question of any of them.
But see, this is how we pose it.
We say, you know, just like Hillary Clinton said, she didn't care about the other 50% of America, but we don't think that about this new, you know, this new selection of candidates.
We believe that you want to talk to all of America.
You want to be the president of all of America.
You want to unify the nation in a view of your amazing tolerance of your party.
And then see how many of them sign up.
None.
And why are you even wasting their time?
Because we know the answer to that.
Well, that's a nice thing to say.
not going to let me get near them.
They don't want, listen, how many hours have we offered Cowardly Schiff and Nadler?
What do they say when you call them?
Yeah, but shift doesn't give a shift.
That's the problem.
Shift doesn't give a shift at all.
Now, if I called him with a slight Russian accent, told him I had some tapes.
So Gabusava.
You know, Ogabuseva.
O Gabuseva.
Very, you know, naked Trump.
So what are the nature of the compromising?
Compromising materials.
Met with Trump in New York at some point after the 2013 Miss Universe.
But of course.
Yes.
Pageant.
The compromising materials.
And she got compromising materials on Trap after their short relations.
Okay.
And what's the nature of the compromise?
What's the nature?
Well, there were pictures of naked Trump.
Pictures of the naked Trump.
And so Putin was made aware of the availability of the compromising material?
Yes, of course.
Buzava shared those materials with Sovchek, and Sobchak shares those materials with Putin because she's a goddaughter of Putin and Putin decided to prison Trump.
And the materials that you can provide to the committee or to the FBI, would they corroborate this allegation?
Sure, of course.
When they were in Ukraine, we got their conversation by the phone where they discussed those compromising materials.
We are ready to provide it to FBI.
So you have recordings of both Sovchek and Buseva, where they're discussing the compromising material on Mr. Trump?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Not the nature of the materials.
Busova.
Yes, but of course, materials, naked Trump.
The pictures of naked Trump.
Oh, my gosh.
Did you send it?
Show him to Vladimir?
But of course.
But the picture of the naked Trump.
You know what I think is the weirdest part about that whole conversation?
What, that there are pictures of naked Trump?
What?
That's weird.
Because everybody knows he's a dramaphobe.
And that's not happening.
Yeah, just like the hookers urinating in his bed.
Great.
We're the pixes, the hook.
They're taking a leak.
But I'm saying, in all seriousness.
They're going number one in the bed.
Number one.
So weird.
Oh, my God.
Not number two.
Number one in the bed.
Okay.
Anywho, so the weird part about it is he says, yeah, it's his goddaughter.
And I'm thinking to myself, so your goddaughter decides to bring home pictures of a naked American president.
Like, that's what you're showing.
I would never show my godfather that.
That's very weird.
That whole part is not even talked about.
You know what I'm saying?
I haven't even thought about it.
I was too focused on the pictures of the naked.
I was a little there, sweetheart.
Well, we got bed.
Well, we got two hooks in the bed and then.
And then that's copped.
And then what are they doing?
How do you say?
How do you say?
They are naked in the bed.
They are number one.
Number one in the bed.
Man.
No, so what is this idiot shift doing?
Is he's colluding with Russians or he thinks of Russians that are giving him dirt on Donald Trump.
I'm sure he immediately called the FBI.
No, I'm sure he immediately called the FBI.
And then this guy's like, call me.
Call me.
I got pictures.
Yeah, exactly.
Naked Trump.
I don't know why.
I don't know why it cracks me up.
That's so funny.
And he's really believing it.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, that's Loubert.
He's like, okay, okay, yeah.
He thinks, and then he's out there talking, well, there might have been collusion with Trump and the Russians.
I'm like, hello.
And you can't make the story any better, except that there really was collusion with the Russians.
Bought and paid for Russian lies leaked to the American people vis-a-vis ranking members in the intelligence community.
And, well, why?
To rig the election and make people believe there's pictures of Naked Trump and Tuhook is in the bed.
Go to the bathroom, in the bed, inside the bed.
What kind of bathroom?
No, no, no, no.
Not number two.
Not the bad one.
Number one, the good one.
I mean, what are you supposed to say?
That's a sick kid.
What is happening?
You'd read this dossier and you just know they're full of crap.
And it's like, oh, my gosh.
No, there was a wall of it.
It wasn't number two.
It was not.
They were urinating in the bed.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump, well known for his avoidance of, you know, germs.
Although he shakes people's hands, no problem at all.
That's not what it was, but he's not exactly, you know, you do get sick.
I mean, it is a well-known fact that the way you get sick, you shake somebody's hand, you rub your nose, boom, you got what they had on their hands.
And there are people that don't clean themselves after they go to the bathroom, which is horrible.
That all happens.
Who's doing that?
Listen, I've had experiences.
I've been, you know, in a urinal and somebody says, oh, Mr. I'm like, not now.
I can't shake your hand right now.
Oh, come on.
I swear to God.
Come on.
You think I'm making that up?
I swear.
You're giving us urinal stories at 3.45 in the afternoon.
That's good.
Wow.
People trying to eat their lunch.
Listen, I shared the story after Eric Trump had this incident.
I mean, it's horrible what they did to him and spit in his face.
By the way, that is an assault.
That's correct.
Legally speaking.
That is legally an assault.
Lock them up.
Lock them up.
And I told you what happened to me when I was at that restaurant with Borts.
I'm being gracious.
I didn't mention the restaurant.
You're being way too nice.
Well, and I could have filed charges, and I ended up not doing it.
I mean, they basically said they tainted my food with bodily fluids or bodily, how do you say it?
Stuff.
Stuff.
Yeah.
Very medical term.
Very medical term.
And then they say, oh, no, no, it tells the buddy.
No, I didn't really do it.
I just printed it that I did it.
I just posted it online that I did it.
And everyone, how many people ask me, why do you go to the same five restaurants?
There you go.
There's the answer because I trust them.
I don't need to go to new places ever again.
I think I've had my fill of it after that.
Anyway, so you have, I'm not even going to have time to get this in.
They have radical conspiracy, the biggest conspiracy theorist in the country, Roswell Rachel Maddow.
She is one of the hosts last night.
Let me give you a few little, well, let me just play you first.
She announces that she describes herself as left of Mao.
Just a little taste of who she is.
Wait a minute.
We're about to find out if the new president of our country is going to do what Russia wants once he's commander-in-chief of the U.S. military.
We haven't ever had to reckon with the possibility that somebody has ascended to the presidency of the United States to serve the interests of another country rather than our own.
What's the corrective to that?
How do you remedy that?
These are no longer hypothetical questions.
This is where we are.
He received the Order of Friendship from Vladimir Putin personally, the highest civilian award that Russia gives to non-Russian citizens.
Somehow, Rex Tillerson ended up as U.S. Secretary of State under Donald Trump, who he never met.
China and Russia can do this today, now, whenever they want to.
In other words, we're relying on their good graces that they're not.
And it is like negative 50 degrees in the Dakotas right now.
What would happen if Russia killed the power in Fargo today?
All right, then the one I wanted to play where she describes herself as left of Mao.
Play that.
Having been involved in a lot of different liberal groups over time as somebody who's roughly to the left of Mao.
Then she says that the inauguration speech of Trump, you know, dark America first like Hitler supporters.
Listen to this.
This was a workmanlike speech.
It was short and he went through it quickly.
And it was militant and it was dark.
The crime, the gangs, the drugs, this American carnage, disrepair, decay.
You can't imagine the outgoing president giving a speech like that.
This president also repeating, the new president also repeating that our guiding principle will be America first, America first.
We know how he has used that as a campaign slogan that does also have very dark echoes in American history.
There was an America First committee that formed in this country.
Hundreds of thousands of people in this country, some of the richest businessmen in the country, many of them were anti-Semitic.
Part of why they weren't alarmed by Hitler's rise in Germany.
The America First Committee is something that means a specific thing in this country.
To repurpose it now, not that far down the historical path, it's hard.
It's hard to hear.
You know, and it goes on.
Trump is a gateway drug to David Duke, KKK.
Trump wants to kill the press.
Play that one.
Trump wants to kill the press.
It's a good idea.
I think that's a good one.
I think it's a good idea to hear tension.
I think it's a dangerous time for the First Amendment and for the free press in this country.
And at the same time, we're oddly influential with the guy who wants to kill us.
Venezuelans are rioting over donations to the Trump campaign.
No.
Flynn is the biggest scandal in presidential history.
No.
You know, I mean, it just goes on and on.
He compared that.
She compares the Trump kids to Uday and Kusay.
Yeah, the children of, let's see, there, that's right.
Saddam Hussein and they won't say in public but she just said you know what a lot of us see and know to be true And you guys just got her and she was just, she just said the truth.
They're not objective peace.
They're not an objective source of information.
They are a highly biased political machine that is bent on never letting somebody like Donald Trump come to power again.
2020 is certainly on top of nine old organizations, Census Safety, is top of mind.
They've been working on it since 2016 to make sure we're ready for trying to train your algorithms.
Like, if 2016 come on again, would we have their technology companies are censoring conservatives, and they're going to do this right up to the 2020 election?
Well, they're doing it to me on Twitter.
I mean, what they did to me on Twitter is incredible.
You know, I have millions and millions of followers, but I will tell you, they make it very hard for people to join me in Twitter, and they make it very much harder for me to get out the message.
They make it incredible.
Yeah.
So what are you going to do about it?
These companies have an enormous amount of power if they could even stop the president of the free world in terms of getting his message out.
What am I going to do about it?
These people are all Democrats.
It's totally biased toward Democrats.
If I announced tomorrow that I'm going to become a nice liberal Democrat, I would pick up five times more followers.
I was picking up 100,000 followers every few days.
And all of a sudden, I'm much hotter now than I was a number of months ago.
Okay, a number of months ago.
Then all of a sudden it stopped.
Well, somebody at Google said they don't want what happened in 2016 to happen in 2020.
They don't want it to happen again, right?
Is that what you're referring to?
Let me tell you, they're trying to rig the election.
That's what we should be looking at, not the witch hunt, the phony witch hunt, which is proven zero.
You know, I mean, not even a phone call.
This is the greatest political disgrace in the history.
Is what technology companies are doing, what they did to you, is that legal?
Are they breaking the law, Mr. President?
Well, I don't know whether or not, but I tell you what, they should be sued because what's happening with the bias, and now you see it with that executive yesterday from Google, the hatred for the Republicans.
It's not even like, gee, let's lean Democrat.
The hatred.
And actually, you know, I heard that all during my election.
It's hard that I won.
They were swamping us with negative stuff.
All right, that was the president weighing in on social media and all the varying controversies now that have come up, including the latest one on Twitter, Project Veritas.
By the way, the president tweeting, talking about the tape that we played for you and we talked about the other day.
Remember in that particular tape, we had Google executives on tape, you know, and then an insider talking to Project Veritas, you know, that they're bent on not letting somebody like Donald Trump ever come to power again or for Donald Trump to win in 2020.
I mean, and the Google head of responsible innovation saying Elizabeth Warren is misguided on breaking up Google.
And Google exec says, well, don't break us up because smaller companies don't have the resources to prevent the next Trump situation.
Really?
Insider says that Prague University and others, their content is suppressed.
That's what the president was also saying about Twitter as well.
Leaked documents highlight a machine learning fairness.
How does a machine learn fairness?
Basically, how do they have a politically correct worldview?
You look at Project Veritas and their video, and James O'Keefe, he uses Google and he looks emails, Hillary Clinton and emails Donald Trump.
And hmm, well, it doesn't come up the way it normally would.
In other words, Hillary's email scandal.
Why is that?
Anyway, documents appear to show editorial policies that determine how Google is publishing their news.
Project Veritas' CEO and founder, James O'Keefe, is with us.
Could be the biggest video that they've outlined yet, and yet he's having trouble getting his message out because places like YouTube, I understand, have taken your video down.
What is their argument for taking your video down?
Sean, thanks for having me on.
This is definitely the biggest story we ever broke.
And that's saying something because you and I have known each other for 10 years, all going back to the Acorn story.
But this is truly extraordinary.
YouTube banned our Pinterest investigation.
Twitter suspended Veritas for that story.
Reddit banned Project Veritas.
YouTube removed this Google investigation.
And now Sean Vimeo, which is a competitor to Google, has removed our entire account.
What is the reason, you say?
The reason they tell us is there's a privacy violation.
We don't understand what they mean by that.
We're reporting newsworthy information.
That's what journalists do.
The real reason— Well, do they keep up content, say, from other news sources?
No, because other people have reported the same thing we're reporting.
These are documents.
No, no, no.
What I'm saying is, are you being singled out versus other people that post things that are news-related?
Yes, and I tweeted that at YouTube's CEO.
Now, YouTube has responded.
They issued this ridiculous response that has been, they're being inundated on Twitter with angry, patriotic people upset with their absurd response.
But, Sean, this is truly an extraordinary series of events.
These stories have not been taken down because they're false, but because they're true, and we're hitting close to home with this machine learning fairness.
And you heard Trump, the president, a moment ago, talk about the comments made by Jen Janai.
Trump was talking about the quote from Jen Janai, which stated they're trying to prevent the next Trump situation, which stated their definition of fairness is different than what Trump supporters think is fair, her words.
So, Sean, they're taking all of our videos off the internet.
They're trying to scrub this from history, but I don't think they'll be successful because there's been an online uprising over the last couple of days, and this is all happening in the public view.
All right, let's go back to the very beginning.
You get this woman, by the way, what is this department that she runs and works out at here, this Miss Jenny?
I'm having a hard time understanding what it actually means because it just doesn't make sense to me.
And how are they teaching artificial intelligence?
And what are these algorithms they're creating that literally represses conservative content?
So, this is, again, you're referring to Jen Janai, the executive at Google, who runs something called the Innovation Department.
She heads up Google's innovation efforts.
And I think the best way to characterize what they do is this is a document from within Google that we've obtained.
And this is a ⁇ if I had quoted this document, Sean, without having the document, you'd think I was a conspiracy theorist.
But I'm going to read it to you because this will help you understand what this individual does.
It says, in some cases, it may be desirable to consider how we might help society reach a more fair and equitable state via product intervention or algorithmic fairness.
So what they do is they have human beings go in there, modify the computer code, modify the artificial intelligence and the algorithms.
They implement this fairness, and I'm putting fairness in quotes because it's their word, in their artificial intelligence in the computers.
And this executive is confessing this in this recording.
So what they're doing at Google is they're trying to change the outcome of elections through artificial intelligence algorithms, and they've denied it publicly.
That's why this story is so big.
We got them.
And that's what Jen Jenny said.
Issued this long, rambling response saying, Project Veritas got me.
I shouldn't have said what I said.
Oh, they got me, but I shouldn't, and she's not getting fired.
But the reality is, is this is what they're doing.
Now, you know, we have to look at the magnitude.
Linda did a great job last, uh, the other day, two days ago, looking up all the numbers.
I mean, you're talking about billions of people every year using Google to search for news and information in election years.
If they're suppressing information that would, for the purposes of endorsing and favoring a candidate, isn't that an in-kind donation?
And isn't it one that really is incalculable?
Well, that's exactly what people are saying.
Attorneys are saying this might be an FEC issue.
I think, Sean, the biggest issue right now that I can see, and there's been some congressional hearings since I last talked to you, Ted Cruz, Dan Crenshaw, Congresswoman from Arizona was grilling these executives about machine learning fairness.
There's been another document come out.
Oh, by the way, let me go to Crenshaw for just a second here, who's a good guy.
But anyway, a congressman from Texas, and he was questioning Derek Slater, Google Global Director of Information Policy.
And, you know, according to these emails, the emails say, given that, you know, different people like Dennis Prager are Nazis, et cetera, that's a premise.
What are you going to do about that?
And, you know, Kenshaw then from Texas goes on and says, thank you for some of the thoughtful discussion, et cetera, et cetera.
But there are good questions on whether some of the content provides education so that we know the bad things out there, whether it's radicalizing people.
Those are hard.
But Crenshaw also goes on to say that, you know, and talks about you at different points and goes on to say that if you're going to make the determination of what is good and good content or news or not news, and you have a bias, well, I mean, you're rendering, you're picking sides here.
And with the amount of power somebody like Google has, that could be extraordinarily influential, couldn't it?
Well, yes.
And I was going to say, Sean, it comes down to Google has been granted a special immunity from Congress, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
And the issue before Congress right now is do they want to continue giving Google that exemption?
Now, why this expose is so big, it's the biggest thing certainly I've ever reported, is that it implies that Google should not be given this protection because Google is no longer merely a platform.
Now they're a publisher with an agenda.
So previously they have been exempt from liability.
And now these revelations, which talk about a certain viewpoint and they want to change the outcome of elections, all of these words are theirs, not mine.
Congress probably has to do something about it.
They have to do their job.
The president says that Google should be sued.
I've told you before, Sean, this is a watershed moment in this country.
The floodgates are opening.
Veritas, Project Veritas, has been inundated with insiders, sources on the inside reaching out to me this week.
I mean, we're talking dozens of these people who want to blow the whistle for their country to report what's going on.
Because if you think, if you're worried about the impact on an election, Google can change that and influence that in ways you can't imagine.
And that's what this expose is about.
All right, quick break more with James O'Keefe, founder, CEO of Project Veritas, and much more as we continue.
Busy Hannity tonight.
Don't miss it.
9 Eastern.
As we continue, James O'Keefe, he is the founder, CEO of Project Veritas.
And I don't know, I think this is probably, there's going to be a lot of fallout for this.
63,000 searches on Google per second.
I mean, that is insane.
You know, Google's ad revenue amounted to almost $95.4 billion in, what, just the year 2017 alone.
You know, Google owns 200 other companies.
You know, they have 27% of the share of the global email client market.
I mean, it's a massive company.
And, you know, you look at that and then you say, well, okay, well, now they're going to censor content of conservatives and they're going to decide not to run things politically that they disagree with.
That's a problem.
Yes.
I mean, Sean, as Janai says, she reinforced several times Google's imperative to, quote, prevent the next Trump situation, quote, prevent it from happening again, quote, being ready for 2020 by training algorithms for a different outcome using machine learning fairness.
I mean, it sounds like something from 1984.
1984 wasn't just the year I was born.
This great book by George Orwell, I mean, it's just, it shocks the conscience.
And we got them.
We got them to confess what they're doing.
I think the question is, Project Veritas, you know, really gives ammunition to the people.
I don't know what Congress is going to do.
Trump says he's going to sue people.
I think that the next thing that needs to happen is more people needs to come forward.
Project Veritas.com slash brave and Veritas tips at ProtonMail.com.
If you're on the inside, if you want to be a patriot, if you want to tell stories, I mean, these people are not going to the New York Times or the Washington Post, Sean.
They're coming to Project Veritas now.
So we have a responsibility to keep informing people about what their intentions are as it relates to 2020.
All right.
These videos we have posted exclusively.
Apparently, they can't take them off Hannity.com or Project Veritas' website.
But apparently, it's off of YouTube and other places as well.
But you got to watch them for yourself.
And you're saying that now you have a lot of other insiders at Google reaching out to you.
So I would expect there's going to be more follow-up in the days and weeks ahead.
Yeah, we're releasing some more documents here imminently today about some censorship.
And there are some people that have reached out to us.
I'm looking at some of the messages right now, Sean.
But again, I just want to remind your audience, they've taken us off YouTube.
They've taken off Vimeo.
Reddit has banned us.
This is the moment.
It's all happening.
I don't think they'll be able to silence us.
I think that the fight has gone too public to hide.
And it's all happening now.
Nothing's going to stop.
We're going to keep exposing the truth.
And I thank you, Sean, for being one of the first people out there to push this story.
And thank you for helping us expose this truth.
All right, Project Veritas, the CEO and founder, James O'Keefe, thanks for putting your neck out there.
As usual, when we come back, Jonathan and Danielle, they'll weigh in on this crazy lunatic debate last night.
Don Jr. weighs in on that and his brother Eric literally spit in the face in a restaurant in Chicago.
We'll get to that and how the rest of the family's been treated ever since their father decided to run for president as we continue.
Senator Warren, I want to continue on the Mitch McConnell thing because you have a lot of ambitious plans.
You have a plan for that.
Okay.
We talked about the Supreme Court.
Do you have a plan to deal with Mitch McConnell if you don't beat him in the Senate?
If he's still sitting there as the Senate majority leader, it's very plausible you be elected president with a Republican Senate.
Do you have a plan to deal with Mitch McConnell?
You have staked your candidacy on the issue of climate change.
It is first, second, and third priority for you.
You said it's all the issues.
Let's get specific.
We're here in Miami, which is already experiencing serious flooding on sunny days as a result of sea level rise.
Parks of Miami Beach and the Keys could be underwater in our lifetimes.
Does your plan save Miami?
Does your plan save Miami?
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
That from the extreme radical Democratic Socialist debate from last night.
Apparently, Hollywood was not impressed at all.
They were disappointed with this first radical extreme Democratic Socialist Party debate.
Bill Maher, I thought it was pretty funny.
Not a promising start.
Nobody came close to answering the first question with a good one.
70% saying they like the economy.
Well, how can you not like the economy now versus what it was when you have 6 million new jobs created, 6 million fewer Americans on food stamps, the best job market since 1969 in terms of employment situation, you have over 2 million more jobs available than we had.
Let's see.
Then we do have people on unemployment.
Anyway, here to weigh in, Jonathan Gillum, former FBI agent, Federal Air Marshal, author of Sheep No More, Danielle McLaughlin, attorney, is with us.
Danielle, how are you?
Good to see you.
And, you know, so you have 6 million new jobs created since Donald Trump's president.
You have the best job conditions we've ever had since 1969.
We have, you compare that to 13 million additional people on food stamps with Biden and Obama.
That's after eight years.
And 8 million more in poverty and the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s.
So Trump has totally flipped it around.
We have 6 million fewer people on food stamps since he became president.
And nobody can answer that question.
So they're acting like the economy is awful, but it's not awful.
You know, I think it's pretty clear that the economy under the president has gone from strength to strength.
And I do think, honestly, Democrats are going to have a problem taking him on head on because the economy is cooking along.
One thing I will object to is the idea that this just started in 2017 in January.
We have been making a long but pretty amazing recovery since 2008, 2009, when obviously the economy and really the global economy completely tanked.
Okay.
Well, you could say what you want to say, but after eight years, the numbers speak for themselves.
I mean, I love how liberals try to say, you know, have the best of both worlds.
Oh, we inherited the worst economy.
Well, you've got eight years to fix it.
Your policies didn't work.
New policies are put in place to end burdensome regulation and to cut taxes, the biggest tax cut in history.
And now we also have opened up the door to energy like we never have before, leading to energy independence for the first time in 75 years.
And Jonathan Gillum, then they're still saying, well, but Obama, Biden, they had the worst economy since the Great Depression.
Now they want to talk about 2009.
I mean, they didn't fix it.
They never reached 3% GDP.
It was the worst recovery since the 40s, as a matter of fact, they're eight years.
And, you know, the reality speaks for itself.
Well, Sean, I finally figured out last night.
Yes, you're absolutely correct.
There's a couple of things I finally found out last night watching these debates.
One, these individuals talk loud and they repeat the same information and it goes nowhere.
When it comes to the economy, that's what they do.
They don't solve problems.
They just talk loud about what they think would solve it, and then there's no solution.
The other thing is that when you speak to a liberal, I guess now.
You have to speak in Spanish now.
Last night, it was as if they were running for the leader of a Latino world, not the president of the United States.
And jokingly, I can say that, but realistically, it's just people have to see that the things that they put out front that they believe that are important are things that are going to get them votes by their constituents, not things that are going to fix the problems in this country.
And they kept talking in Spanish because they are literally trying to go after that vote.
That's why the illegals coming into this country, that's why the immigration issue, they don't want to fix it because they're looking at those people as votes.
And I think that's something that has to be pointed out about last night.
They did not go after solutions.
They just spouted things that are going to get them votes from the people that follow them on the left.
That was it.
I mean, look at what even the real speaker of the house, the one that's leading and influencing all these 2020 candidates, the real power broker, it seems in Washington, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, ah, they look like a bunch of high school kids that didn't read the book over at NBC News, which, by the way, hosted last night's debate.
I mean, they're on the network.
They're on cable.
They're on Telemundo.
They're all over the place.
And they got 15 million people.
It's not exactly a mass audience considering all the stations that they were on at one time handling this.
But anyway, the 10 candidates performing in the room at the center of it.
And, you know, what is the conclusion of the debate that Donald Trump is the big winner?
There's a great piece in the New York Post saying the exact same thing.
Donald Trump won last night, and it was dull, and it was boring, and they're screaming like a bunch of lunatics.
And their plan was just tried the last eight years and it failed.
What are they going to do to keep us safe and secure?
What are they going to do to keep the economy humming along?
They don't even acknowledge the success of Donald Trump's policies.
So they want to go back to what, 70% tax rates, and that's for individuals, top marginal rates, 90% top marginal rates for corporations, a wealth tax, tax everybody to death, this insane new green deal in some way, shape, manner, or form, Medicare for all, but you can't have your own health care.
They think Americans already forgot about keep your doctor plan and save money, and they want open borders.
Okay, maybe they're better at speaking Spanish than Donald Trump.
I guess they win that department.
But, you know, it's not about what foreign languages you speak when you want to be the president.
Look, on taxes, I think what the Democrats are saying is the line that Warren Buffett has taken over and over and over again.
He is saying, because of the way that I earn my money, I pay really low taxes.
My secretary pays more money in taxes to the federal and state governments than I do, and I'm Warren Buffett.
Corporations like Amazon, like Pfizer, pay no federal taxes.
Well, I don't know how the hell he gets away with it because I make a little bit more money than my assistant.
And I will tell you that I pay a hell of a lot more in taxes by far.
I don't know what he's doing.
Maybe he could teach me the tricks of the trade, but it sounds like I wouldn't dare try and take whatever tax deductions he's got because if I did, they'd put me in jail.
How does he get away with not paying taxes?
And, you know, all this.
It's the way that he earns his income.
Well, but the problem.
Look, listen, it's sort of like everyone's saying, well, these big corporations don't pay taxes.
Well, in a way, they don't because any taxes they have to pay, they pass on to us, the consumers.
Raising taxes on corporations means we pay more for the goods and services we want, need, and desire.
But the fact of the matter is, is raising taxes, spreading the wealth, guaranteeing everything doesn't work.
Did Obamacare work, Danielle?
Were Americans fed a bill of goods when they were told they can keep their doctors, keep their plans, and pay less?
I mean, that's the only thing you have to hang your head on is he's not going to be able to do that.
No, it's not the only thing.
No, no, it's not.
I can go on.
Venezuela made all the same promises to their people and they're eating out of garbage trucks.
As did Cuba, as did the former Soviet Union.
You know, these same lies have been spread throughout history and socialism doesn't work.
But the biggest wealth creator and the biggest, you know, that which will raise the standard of living of every American is free market capitalism and energy independence and low taxes and limited government regulation into business.
That works.
That's worked for Reagan.
That's worked for Kennedy.
That's worked for Donald Trump.
It'll work again.
What Obama wanted was that people didn't die because they couldn't afford their enceler because that's not what Obama promised.
I have Obama on tape saying you get to keep your doctor.
Millions of Americans lost their doctors.
You get to keep your plan.
Millions of Americans lost their plans.
You get to save money.
Everybody paid more, and in some cases, 200 and 300% more.
So they didn't keep their promise.
So now they're promising everything is free.
Well, I'm sorry it didn't work on that one small item.
Why would you have faith, hope, and confidence that this big plan that we'll never get out of is going to work?
Here is the problem with health insurance.
It's not like any other good, and I don't think capitalism is.
Did Obama keep his promises?
I'm asking you.
Did Obamacare?
Did he live up to the Obamacare promises?
Yes or no?
Not all of them.
No, no.
No, he didn't live.
No, he didn't live up to any of them.
I think you could ask someone who actually got insurance because of Obamacare.
He raised the rate at which everybody paid more, true or false.
Everybody.
No.
Everybody paid more.
Absolutely not.
Some people had no insurance and they could achieve it because of Obamacare because the income threshold for getting Medicaid was increased.
So low-income people, plenty of them around this country who had no insurance, got insurance, got health care.
It wasn't perfect.
I know some people paid more.
I know small business owners really, really, really hurt.
This is a really complex problem, and there's not a clean, clear solution.
If you can't see the simple truth, if they're going to handle guaranteed job, health care, healthy food, guaranteed health care, Medicare for all, but you can't have private, you can't sustain it because it's not, and then you're going to destroy business and wealth.
Everyone's going to leave.
All right, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, quick break more with Danielle McLaughlin, Jonathan Gillum, great Hannity tonight will tell you about that.
We will mock the Democratic debate.
Nine Eastern on Fox.
All right, so you know our friends at Shamoni, you know what?
So many have tried to duplicate their great success, their incredible, innovative products, their exclusive natural peptides as ingredients and plant stem cell therapy.
GenuCell has now become Shamani's number one bestseller.
Why?
Because it works.
So many tried to duplicate it.
They have not been successful.
Guaranteed, bags, puffiness under your eyes, gone in 12 hours, or you get a full refund, no questions asked ever.
And now, by the way, and the only way you can get Shamani is to call 800 Skin509, go to their website, genuacelle.com.
But their brand new Genucelle jawline cream, well, you look at, for example, a double chin or a turkey neck or a sagging jawline.
Oh, how can I look better?
Well, now they have a product for that, the Genucelle jawline cream, and it works.
And it works guaranteed.
As a matter of fact, they're going to give you the jawline cream for free, and you get it with the purchase of Genuicelle Classic to get rid of bags and puffiness.
Remember, same rules.
Guaranteed results, 12 hours or your money back, no questions asked.
800 Skin509, genuacelle.com, and you get two free gifts, and you get free express shipping.
Want to look your best?
GenyaCell by Shamani, 800-skin509-genyacell.com, and you will not regret it.
All right, as we continue with Jonathan Gillum, former FBI agent, federal air marshal, author of Sheep No More, liberal attorney Danielle McLaughlin is also with us.
You know, if we can't fundamentally answer that question, though, honestly, were the promises of Obamacare kept?
No, Jonathan.
The answer is no.
And then, if they're going to promise, well, we'll have Medicare for all, but that's going to work, but you don't even have the backup option now of even having your own policy.
That is never going to work.
So, if people want to believe like other countries have, you know, sold the same lie, where do we end up?
Well, we end up like the VA when it comes to health care with a worthless health care system.
Look, here's the fact of all this, Sean.
I'm glad that you're bringing up the health care issue because it's a perfect example of the way politics in Washington, D.C. works these days.
Is that they come up with an idea or they have some kind of activist slant on something and they push forward on it without thinking it through.
It's not like they came up with a real solution to health care, just like they're not going to come up with a real solution to Iran or any of this other stuff if you leave it to the left and the establishment Republicans.
Washington, D.C. is broken when it comes to that.
And that's what I've always liked about President Trump: he looks at things from an effective point of view.
How do we fix this?
What's the long-term effect of this?
What's the short-term effect?
What's the short-term goal and the long-term goal?
And that's the way he looks at these things.
And there's evidence that he does that.
His biggest problem, I think, is the people, the swampers that are advising him on a lot of stuff.
I think they get it wrong.
But when you look at the healthcare system and the way that they approached it, Obama put a system in place that did not work.
It didn't work for everybody.
You know, maybe some people say they got this, other people say they lost that.
The fact is, it didn't work.
They implemented it anyway.
And that's the way politics, especially on the left, works.
And nobody can argue that fact.
All right.
We'll give you the last word, Danielle, although I expect this is going to be painful.
Go ahead.
I guess I'm just wondering what the Republican plan for health care is.
That's my question, because I don't know what it is.
I know what it is.
Health savings accounts and the combination of healthcare cooperatives like Josh Umber in Wichita, Kansas, who I've interviewed hundreds of times now on radio and TV.
Read Patient Power by Musgrave and Goodwin.
It's put out by the Cato Institute.
That book has been out for a long time.
There offers free market solutions to health care.
People control their own health care sources and money, and it incentivizes people to save money on top of it.
You know, there are so many different options.
Get a catastrophic plan, then get a primary doctor like our friend Josh Umber.
And guess what?
You're paying 50 bucks a month as an adult for the day-to-day care you need, a 90% reduction in prescriptions.
And that includes stitches, broken bones, et cetera.
If you have anything like cancer, heart attack, bad accident, well, that's what a catastrophic plan is for.
High deductible.
You pay very little money per year.
Solution.
Right there.
Do you want to know what the solution is?
I just gave it to you.
Okay, so they have the presidency.
They have the Senate.
So let's see a health care bill because I want to see.
I have no faith in them.
Listen, I'm not a Republican, so you're talking to the wrong guy.
I am a conservative.
All right, I got to let it go.
Thank you, 800-941-Sean.
When we come back, news roundup information overload.
And Donald Trump Jr. checks in.
His brother Eric spit in the face in a Chicago restaurant this week.
We'll talk to him about that, how the family's treated, and how this election is going to go and last night's debate.
Straight ahead.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Unprovoked, this woman came up to him, literally spit in his face and had some really nasty things to say to him.
And he played it so calm and so cool, did not press charges against this woman, which I think a lot of people would have done.
But it probably would have been very hard for me to remain calm in that situation.
This is the new normal for the left, and it's acceptable for some reason whenever you are fighting on the side of the Democrats to do things like this.
I can't imagine this ever happening to Chelsea Clinton, to Sasha and Malia Obama.
This is disgusting.
All right, glad you're with us.
News Roundup Information Overload Hour.
You look at what happened to Eric Trump earlier this week.
He's in a restaurant in Chicago, and some employee comes and literally spits in his face.
Now, this is not new for the Trump family and the way the Trump family has been treated.
You know, look at the treatment even of 11-year-old son Baron Trump at the time.
You know, Kathy Griffin, a decapitated head, you know, look what looked like a decapitated head of the president.
Or, you know, I dream an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
It all started there.
And then you can take on the attacks against, oh, let's see, Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Jared Trump, and the entire family.
It's endless.
Then you got the two-year, two-plus-year witch hunt against the entire family.
Here to react to this and much more, Donald Trump Jr.
He's a very shy, demure, and quiet Trump.
He's not the most outspoken Trump in the family.
How are you?
I'm the wallflower, Sean.
I'm the wallflower.
Guessing I don't have anything you're not allowed to have.
No, I actually think you're the most like your dad in terms of combativeness.
I don't even think there's a question about that.
I think you're right.
It's sort of funny.
In business and in life, they were always like, well, Don's kind of the anomaly.
He loves the outdoor stuff.
He's always doing this.
It took politics for us to realize that maybe we're the same person, which is both good and maybe scary.
But yeah, it took me 40 years of my life to figure out I was a lot more like my dad than I ever thought.
Well, I mean, the interesting thing is, because I know Eric well, I know you well.
Why do I think you may not have reacted the same way?
I'm just guessing.
I don't know.
I mean, look, your brother, to his credit, just like remember Nicholas Salman, I mean, this 16-year-old kid, you know, has to go through verbal abuse and being called every name in the book by, you know, this black Israelite group, Hebrew Israelite group.
And then you have Nathan Phillips banging a drum in his face.
Then you have the media, you know, their slanders, their smears, their libel, their character assassination.
By the way, they're going to pay hundreds of millions.
I know Lynn Wood.
Lynn Wood is a killer attorney.
And he deserves every penny of it.
Every penny.
I don't think many people would have reacted the same way and kept cool and not said something.
I'd like to believe that I'd be able to respond like a Sandman or, you know, frankly, like Eric.
I'm just not sure that's my style.
You know, if someone assaults me.
Well, that's called assault, by the way.
Yeah, I mean, it's hard to look at what Nicholas Sandman did with just pitch-perfect response.
I mean, for a 16-year-old, it was pretty remarkable.
And I frankly think what your brother did-I mean, having the patience of Job and not standing up and, you know, he has every right at that point to defend himself.
Although in New York, it's a little different.
That's the difference is, you know, Sandman, I mean, you know, a lot of pressure for a young kid to be able to do, to be able to, you know, maintain that cool.
And I mean, and he got hell for not doing anything.
He just stayed cool and barely had a smirk on his face just sort of dealing with it.
Again, I don't think a lot of people wouldn't have just been, you know, pushed someone out of their way to get him out of their face when they're invading their space, but then it would have been assault.
And that's what the media was looking for.
I mean, in his case, the media was looking for him to respond because that was the holy grail of their identity politics.
had a white male Christian from Kentucky.
This was their dream assault case for this guy to take on the fake Vietnam vet guy that was basically a professional instigator.
But that would have never come out had it gone the other way, had he done something, had he reacted.
So I think generally speaking, considering the amount of heat that they take, the conservatives really do a much better job of that.
Now, again, as I've said to you, whether it's that physically or otherwise, I don't know that the turn the other cheek mentality has gotten us too many places.
I mean, we've given up ground to the liberals on this one for decades because of it.
And I think maybe that's the difference.
I don't mean physically.
I'm talking about response to the political attacks.
And I think my father's shown conservatives and has really created a whole new other generation of conservative thought fighters.
Not those who just, well, turn the other cheek because we don't want to be called a bad name by the left.
He's fought back.
He's shown that it can be done.
And he's shown others that you can do it successfully.
Unlike so many of the conservatives' leaders before that, I say leaders in quotes because they weren't really leaders because every time they actually were challenged, they gave up because they didn't want to be called a bad name by the other side.
So they were very principled until they actually had to put those things to trust and then they folded like a cheap rug.
So it's been great to see that because I think, frankly, for the ideology of conservatism to survive, we couldn't just keep taking the loss because the other side wants us to, even when we were right.
And I think we've shown that you don't have to do that anymore.
Well, let's go.
Mitt Romney, I knew very well.
And in 2012, he was a very nice man, and he was running a good campaign.
And I thought he had a chance to win.
I thought he blew it, especially in the second and third debate, the third debate in particularly.
I don't know why he took his foot off the gas.
I agree with you.
He had Obama on the ropes and the people.
He really did.
I think I put up a tweet at the time that was like, quick, get Obama a teleprompter stat because he doesn't know how to perform without one.
Right.
And then he laid down.
It's pretty obvious, but then he was worried about being called a name.
He was worried about trying to have a perfect transition.
So the last three months were spent formulating the most incredible transition in the history of the world.
The only problem was that the day after election day, he went in a shredder at about 6 a.m.
But the point is they still referred to him as a racist and a sexist and a misogynist.
And they went and he cut some kids' hair in boarding school or something ridiculous.
And it doesn't matter if you're nice to them.
Everybody is going to be if you're conservative, if you're a Republican, this is standard fair.
No matter what and no matter what you've done in your past, it doesn't matter.
Hey, look at all the people who, you know, they're all over the photographs like I saw there.
Whether it's people from the African-American community that were leaders in that, the sharps of the world.
Yeah, they have plenty of bitches.
What's up?
They're here with Trump.
Trump's great.
This is Trump.
All of a sudden, two weeks after he announces, oh, you're going to be a Republican now.
Well, you're now all of a sudden magically XYZ.
Yeah, listen, I think it was important.
And I think the case of Trump was so extreme that people now get it.
Meaning, there's no points for doing the right thing.
There's no points for being the good guy.
There's no points for doing that.
You don't get points from the other side.
They don't give you points.
But this is an important point.
Don, what you're saying here is profound because Romney didn't fight back and they called him every name in the book.
Your dad is a fighter.
You're going to be called those.
Exactly.
You might as well defend yourself and fight back.
But it also benefits the country.
Look at how your father, no matter what, is unrelenting in his pursuit of getting that wall built and pursuing good trade deals.
You know, he talked about tariffs.
Look at how fast Mexico backed down.
But he pushed for the tax cuts.
He kept his promise on judges.
He got rid of endless, burdensome bureaucracy, and now we're energy independent for the first time in 75 years.
How about last night at the debate?
Well, we're going to bring jobs back to America.
I go, wait a minute.
We've created 6 million new jobs in two and a half years.
That's a record.
That's never been done before.
And you got someone saying that they're going to do better.
I mean, what, with oppressive taxation policies and hyper-regulation?
Like, guess what, guys?
That ain't bringing back jobs.
You got the Corey Bookers of the world claiming, you know, well, he got prison reform done.
No, Trump got prison reform, Corey.
You're one of people who voted on it.
What were you doing for the last few years in office as it relates to these issues?
You talk about them, but there was no action.
You don't think you could have gotten Obama to maybe work on this and get something done?
No, Trump did it, and now you try to claim it.
There's a lot of irony in all of what the other side does.
But again, despite our record of success, despite the unprecedented numbers, you still get 95% negative coverage because everyone in the media believes the other side.
They're inherently leftists.
They believe that ideology.
You see the people who even come off a little bit moderate in the debates last night and in the sort of the post-op in the spin rooms.
You see these guys, the moderators are going after them.
I mean, they're giving them leading questions throughout the whole thing because they have an answer that they want, and it may not necessarily jive with what someone else wants up there.
And they're trying to get to it.
It's pretty sad, and it's pretty pathetic.
I thought the most telling thing, though, from last night was watching when they had a little bit of the technical difficulties.
You see the look of shock on everyone's face, but they didn't even know how to handle it.
I mean, imagine that person in the situation room when something real is going down.
I'm looking at Elizabeth Warren.
She's on a different planet.
She's looking almost scared because there was a little sound glitch.
I mean, these are not people I want making real decisions for me, certainly not under pressure.
That was the most telling thing of all.
By the way, even NBC.
And NBC News analysis declared Donald Trump the winner of the first Democratic debate last night.
Let me ask you this.
Because you saw no personality.
You saw nothing new other than they're going to give everything away and they're going to figure out how to magically pay for it later.
You know, this is the same old, same old promises from the left.
You can't do all these things.
You know, hey, you got to do something about college.
Well, what about the people who worked for 20 years, you know, paid off their loans last month?
Do they get reparations too since everyone else is getting them?
You know, it never ends.
And, you know, I think that the American people saw just last night.
You know, there are no new ideas.
There are no fresh ideas.
There's more promises that they're not going to be able to deliver on.
But that's the nature of the left.
It's a party of dependence.
They need you to be dependent because if you're not dependent on them, you bring nothing else to the table.
So it's pretty scary.
Let me ask you, because every time now that I hear you, and you're out on the stump a lot, don't you go around the country on behalf of your father, other candidates, all for 2020?
You're pretty much, this is now pretty much your full-time gig.
I mean, are you making a transition into the political world yourself?
No, listen, my only objective is to make sure he's elected.
I'm a patriotic American.
I'm the father of five young kids.
So we've lost a little bit of the bandwidth in terms of what we're able to do because of all the restrictions and with the media scrutiny.
And that's fine.
So the only thing I want to allow myself to do is be bored, Sean.
So I'll be out there and I'll be fighting for him and supporting other candidates who believe the same thing.
And I've been able to create a little bit of a name for myself, I guess, in politics outside of the administration, as I said I would.
And, you know, we're having a good time doing what's right for this country and for the future of our kids and grandkids.
All right.
Where do you see?
Because I look at this field of Democratic candidates and I see that they're all adopting some version of the new Green Deal.
And, you know, you could just look at one little portion.
Obamacare failed.
We were discussing this in the last half hour.
Nobody kept their doctor.
Millions lost them.
Millions lost their plans and everybody paid a lot more.
And I know they're talking about abolishing private health care.
You know, last night.
I mean, this is scary stuff.
They got no plans.
They got no alternative.
Got no way to pay for it.
But the Green New deal is the worst of them all, Sean.
93 trillion dollars okay, that makes everything else we've ever done in in our history seem like a minor rounding error.
At 93 trillion dollars, the U.s government takes in six trillion a year in revenue.
Okay, that's before it spends any money.
So if the U.s government spent nothing on anything else other than preventing the farting of cows uh, and maybe creating some sort of you know way to magically send people to Hawaii without losing it using airplanes, in 15 years, it would pay for itself.
And they just they throw these things.
All right, hang on, it's gonna pay for itself.
Gotta take a break.
Hang on, we'll come back more with Don Jr.
Uh, as we continue, all right, as we continue, Donald Trump Jr is uh, our guest.
We'll get to your calls in the next half hour.
Um, look at everything that's happened to you.
Well, you know how many times you've I what.
By the way, why did you go back and testify?
I'm thinking that's that's, and i'm not being critical.
I know you want to cooperate.
Your father cooperated.
He never once invoked executive privilege.
I can't believe he let Dom Mcann they let Dom Mcahn talk to, to Mueller, for for 30 hours everybody's encouraged to speak to Congress, speak to the special counsel uh, 1.5 million documents.
Your dad answers questions.
It's a witch hunt.
Mueller never even touches the dirty Russian dossier, which is unconscionable to me, and yet and they've, you know oh, Miss Lewandowski four times to Hope.
Who's already paid a fortune?
And attorneys, you got to be kidding me.
I don't think anybody should answer these idiots questions four times.
Now there's been a conclusion of no collusion.
Well, I went back because it's different for me.
Sean, you know i'm Donald Trump Jr.
I'm not Joe Smith.
If i'm, if i'm Joe Smith, I listen to intelligent people like Lindsey.
Graham was saying, you're out of your mind.
Going back in there, you've done 25, whatever 30 hours of testimony before this.
I agreed with him by the Mueller report.
You've got to do it why?
It's only a perjury trap.
Let me explain.
So, first of all, it's only a perjury trap, so you know.
But the, the Dems are hopeful.
So I got to go in there and remember everything i've said.
For you know, 30 hours of testimony two years prior about something that was at the time totally insignificant, two years even prior to that um, and you know it's not so easy.
But the problem is, if I go in and I don't go in and I do that, they say oh, you blow the vibes, you're guilty.
Oh yo, you must be guilty.
Uh, you know, that's the way the media.
How many times have you been in there?
Already though, I got to get to a break, but how many times did you go prior to that?
I I three other times prior.
So i've spoken one of the you know four congressional uh hearings total of about 30 hours.
And again, the Mueller report cites my congressional testimony.
It cites my Senate testimony.
It cites my stupid twitter feed.
I mean, you know, trust me, if the 19 leftist Hillary Supporting lawyers that Bob Bueller brought in there, it's amazing he couldn't find a single conservative.
Hard to believe.
He must not be biased, right?
All right, Donald Trump Jr, you know you're very shy.
Can you please next time, if we're gonna have you on the program, you gotta, you gotta speak a little more, you gotta, you gotta.
You know you gotta put a little more energy into it.
I gotta run.
All right, Donald Trump Jr, thank you.
When we come back, wide open phones, quick break, right back, a great Hannity nine Eastern tonight, but we'll continue straight ahead.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
All right, it's my Friday, and that means, oh, I'm sorry, but, you know, heading into 4th of July week.
Got to take a little break, recharge the batteries, get fresh and ready for the battle that is ensuing.
That means it's time for our Thursday edition, Friday concert series, Zach Brown band, Charlie Daniels band, and Big and Rich to get your party light on and get ready for the 4th of July.
Let's hit it.
And a little bit of chicken fry.
Come here on Friday night.
A pair of jeans would fit just right.
And the radio, oh, but I see some.
See the love in my woman's eyes.
Feel the touch of a precious child.
And know a mother's love.
It's funny how it's the little things in lies that meet.
I got some good friends that live down the street.
Got a good looking woman with her arms down me.
Here in a small town where it feels like home.
I got everything I need, and nothing that I don't.
Didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play pretty good, fiddle boy, but give the devil his due.
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, cause I think I'm better than you.
The boy said, My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin, but I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret because I'm the best it's ever been.
Johnny risen up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals with cards.
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
the devil gets your soul case and he said i'll start this show And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosened up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss.
and a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
But sit down in that chair right there, and let me show you how it's done.
Found the mountain rock boys run.
The devil's in the house of the rising sun.
Chicken and a bread pan, pickin' out the dough.
Granted, there's a dog like no child, no.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
We'll all be flying higher than a jet hell, I know.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
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.
And the party started happening.
Hey!
And in the middle of a Johnston night, we ran into Jessica White.
And a little moonshine got us right, bumps my kinsman.
And we're coming to your center.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
We'll all be flying higher than a jet hell, I know.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
Well, we broke down in Greenville in the middle of a hayfield.
But a butterfly truck pulled up and helped us out.
So we did it up to Philly.
Parted down like real hill billies.
Brought the music mafia and rocked it out.
Oh, and chipper walls where we go.
When we're up in Buffalo, don't you know those Yankees drink enough to drink?
Yeah, we're coming to your center.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
We'll all be flying.
I'm in a jelly line.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
Even Linda's rocking in there a little bit.
You mean even Linda?
By the way, you had a tough day today.
I never have a tough day.
No, no, you've had a tough day.
Ethan and Jason and Kylie, everybody, Katie, they can all good lord.
Well, sweet baby agrees, and but Blair agrees.
Sweet baby agrees.
First of all, everybody agrees with me.
All right, so let's tell everybody what happened.
So who was the first person to bring up the story about our, you know, this 2020 event?
Well, I had a meeting earlier and our good friend Major Dan happened to be in the area and popped up for a hot second.
You and Major Dan are like, you know, tight at the hip.
I love these veterans.
What can I say?
I love my veterans.
I think it's a great thing.
Okay.
So now we're talking about tournament to raise money.
I don't know what's public and what's not.
So I'm just going to say we were talking about golf.
Golf.
Say it again.
Say these words.
We were talking about golf.
I don't know who talks like that, not me.
Say it.
No, I'm not saying that.
But you please do it.
Can't talk like a little bit.
All right.
Say we were talking.
We were talking.
About.
About.
Say it.
Golf.
Golf?
What do you mean?
We were talking about golf.
We were talking about golf.
I don't know.
Everyone else is laughing.
We're talking about golf.
Anywho.
In Singapore.
They don't know this, so Major Dan's going to hear this in the moment.
Oh, man.
So what happened was he was talking about, you know, they have this awesome company, Folds of Honor and Volition, which have partnered together.
And Volition is just fantastic.
That's my friend John Sepien.
And by the way, you can get that stuff at puma.com.
Yeah, puma.com.
Volition's going to have its own line.
They're doing fantastic.
And they just, they give back to the veterans.
They're just awesome people.
So we're sitting there in the room.
We're talking this and that.
And he starts mentioning this guy, Jack Nicholas.
And I thought he was trying to say Jack Nicholson.
And I was like, oh, Jack Nicholson plays golf.
Okay.
And you like the shining Jack Nicholson.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
The actor Jack Nichols.
But he was saying Jack Nicholas.
So he was saying Jack Nicholas.
So anywho, I leave the meeting.
I come back to the studio.
And everybody's in here.
And I ask the guys and gals, and I say, guys, gals, you know this guy, Jack Nicholas Nicholas, I think he's in golf.
And everybody just like fell over.
And I was like, why is it?
Yeah, exactly.
You've never heard of Jack Nicholas before.
No, I have not.
Listen, I'm just getting into the sports thing.
I'm trying.
What do you mean you just get first of all?
First of all, you have a son.
I know.
You're a three-year-old Liam likes sports.
You know what?
I will tell you.
I took him to his first baseball game this past weekend.
What was it, T-Ball?
It was the Phillies.
Oh, you took him to a professional game?
Took him to a real game.
And it was awesome.
And he loved it.
He...
First of all, we didn't watch the game.
In the back of the new Citizens Bank stadium.
Yeah, he's hitting balls.
No, no, no, man.
And they got a whole section for kids.
Yeah.
They got all the toddlers.
They got all kinds of cool things.
That's awesome.
It's unbelievable.
It's awesome for the kids.
He goes right out on the field.
He gets a bat.
He gets a ball.
He was doing great.
I mean, it was pretty amazing.
He definitely doesn't get that from my side of the family.
I got a question.
So you didn't go in and sit at your seats at all?
That's correct.
For the whole game?
I never saw the game.
You didn't go one time to your seats.
I went to an amusement park, but not the game.
So you play.
Listen, I don't have a problem taking a little time out to let him play himself, but the idea is to go and watch the game and let him see how big the crowd is.
Well, he was a little bit hot dogs.
We did the hot dogs.
We did the water dogs, Rita's water ice.
How were the hot dogs?
Would a hot dog's good?
They were fantastic.
Do they do cheesesteaks there too?
They do cheesesteaks.
They do Philly pretzels, hoagies.
Hoagies.
Nobody around the, you know, nobody outside of the North Carolina.
Our big talker in Philly.
All my Philly strong people.
They know what I'm talking about.
Can I just say something?
What do you mean you didn't sit at the seats?
First of all, Liam is three.
Did you get him Cracker Jacks?
Did you get him cotton candy?
Yeah, I got him everything.
Sang the song.
All right, I made a mistake once.
So I'm at the last time Mariana Rivera is pitching at Yankee Stadium the night they win the World Series, right?
It was my son's birthday.
Who is that?
And I'm there.
That was the night that Governor Patterson got in trouble for taking free tickets.
And remember, Randy Levine, who has been a friend of mine for years, used to work for Rudy.
He hears me saying that I bought the tickets on Stubbhub.
I'm not taking free tickets from anybody.
I don't want free tickets.
And so, although some of our concert friends have insisted that we come see them and then they drag us in, but I don't like free stuff.
I refuse to ever ask anybody for anything free.
It just is obnoxious to me.
Anyway, so, yeah, I'm like, Randy, he goes, well, why didn't you just call me?
He said, you just could have paid face value.
And I said, Randy, I said, I'm not abusing our friendship that way.
It's wrong.
He goes, no, no, no.
People do it every second of every day.
And I'm like, no, no, no.
I just, that's not how I roll.
And by the way, I did pay a fortune for those tickets on Stubbub.
Where were they?
Where did you sit?
In the legends section.
Now, in the legends section, what I, you know, because I don't go to many baseball games, who has, I don't have time for anything.
I don't have time for golf.
You know, you play golf, yeah, like three times a year.
I'll tell you one thing.
I'm going to take out golf.
Remind me.
I don't know why that's so funny.
Remind me what state you're.
Remind me what's going on.
That's not something you want to do.
Remind me what state you're going to be playing in.
Can we post a video of that to have a lot of people?
Yeah, we got clothes.
I like the clothes.
I'm going to wear the clothes.
The shoes, not so much, but I like the clothes.
Well, you have to wear the shoes.
You need spikes when you're on the golf.
You're not allowed to curse.
I don't know if Linda's aware of that.
You know, we've got a country club.
Cursing is a big thing.
I'm just spitting on the course.
Spitting.
Hitting.
You know, you're not allowed to hit people.
You know, I don't know.
You and the country club, I don't know if it's going to mix really well.
Does it have to be a country club for me to play golf course?
No, there are.
No, that's a good question.
Like, for example, Beth Page Black, which is one of the best courses in the country, is a public course.
Pebble Beach is a public course.
You know what?
I'm going to make my own golf course.
That's going to be my next LLC.
Okay.
Yeah.
And where are you going to get the millions and millions and millions to do that?
I'm not sure.
And where are you going to get the money to water the lawn?
It's going to be called Come As You Are.
Linda Goff's here.
We'll call Linda Goff's here.
Come as you are, curse as you want, spit as you want, fight all over the place.
First of all, I don't spit.
Oh, you don't spit?
I'm not denying anything else, but I don't spit.
That's what I'm saying.
Well, you are violent, especially if you've been drinking.
She's sean.
She's stuck.
Well, you are violent.
I mean, that's all there is.
There's no other word to describe it.
You know, when you start hitting innocent people after you've had a couple of drinks, sweet baby's laughing.
Jason's laughing.
He's a laugh.
I tell you, you make me sound real good on the air.
I'll tell you what.
I'm not trying to make you sound good.
I'm just telling people the truth.
You will try to make you sound good.
You can scary yourself.
What the hell's the matter with you?
I actually used to be a halfway decent golfer, but then this guy came down an escalator and life changed rather dramatically.
Yeah, and our job is a little busier than it once was, but which I'm happy for, and the country's in a better position, but I'm in a fight every second of every, you know, how I say, you know, the media lies every second, every minute, every hour of every single day.
Our lives are insane every second, every minute, every hour of every day.
So true.
There's always something on the table, right?
Dealing with this crowd, dealing with this crowd, dealing with this, dealing with, you know, big time.
AG, Houston, Texas, what's going on, baby?
Big term, Sean Hannity.
Hey, fucking after watching the demise of the Democrat Party for the first half of last night, it was a joke to watch these videos.
And hey, it's going, hey, A to X.
Well, who won the debate?
Trump.
We love everybody.
Isn't that great?
Isn't that great?
And who's going to pay for all the free stuff that they're dishing out?
You and me and Linda.
Yeah, exactly.
That's all we're doing.
Well, if they come to Linda, I'm pretty sure Linda she can handle it.
And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to hear the words come out of her mouth when she gets through with them.
That's all right, AJ.
