All right, Clancho with a spizzy newsday today, as uh we have a lot going on, 800-941 Sean is our toll free telephone number, free speech summit going on at the White House, president executive order on the census question.
Well, what is wrong with asking a question that you know is has been asked so many, so many times in the past.
What is wrong with knowing how many people in this country have come into this country and are here illegally that didn't respect our borders, our laws, our sovereignty, and having that number as a baseline.
I mean, I know people throw out numbers all the time, but 11 million, 13 million, 7 million, 8 million.
I nobody knows.
So it'd be an opportunity for America to get to know.
There's no better opportunity.
We've done it in past census, and the president wants to do it now.
I think it's the right thing to do.
And the fact that everybody wants to turn this into some type of race issue has nothing to do with race.
You know, the president, everyone forgets that he wants to build uh a wall, but what else did he say?
With a big door in it.
Okay, a big door means that he supports legal immigration, not illegal immigration.
And every listen, I don't care where you come from.
I really don't.
I think, for example, having people, I I like the idea of merit-based immigration, especially for certain sectors, certain fields of endeavor.
If, for example, we need more computer programmers, or we need more doctors, or we need more surgeons, or we need more engineers, or whatever it happens to be, whatever the field of endeavor happens to be, or maybe we need more laborers to work uh in different construction jobs or in in farms around America.
Okay, we have opportunities, we can't fill these positions.
Absolutely.
We I'm only asking for two things.
We number one that we check you out and make sure you sit that you are who you say you are, and that you have no intention, no background, no red flags, no indication that you support ideas that are contrary to and contradict our American constitutional system.
In other words, that you're here because you want a better life.
Okay, once we check you out, we determine you're the person you say you are.
There are jobs available for people.
Right now, this we learned from the Fed that there's seven and a half million unfilled jobs in America today.
That's a huge amount of jobs that we've got to fill.
And we're virtually at full employment in this country.
So if we need laborers, or maybe we need doctors, or maybe we need mechanical engineers, or maybe we need computer programmers.
Okay, you can make the application.
We can expedite the process, which has been burdensome and takes way too long.
You should pay for your own vetting if you want to be a citizen, you should pay to be vetted.
And by vetting, we do a security background check on whoever you happen to be.
And the other requirement I would have is that you've got to be able and prove that you will be able to take care of yourself and not rely on the American taxpayers for education, uh, health care, or any other housing, clothing, whatever you might need.
I think that's fair, because we only have a limited number of available slots at any given time.
Sometimes more we have more slots than others, and it's highly coveted, and I think it should be given to people that respect our laws, our constitution, our sovereignty at our border.
I don't think it should be given to people that just decide they want to come to America, the hell with our laws, the hell with our borders, the hell with our sovereignty.
It's really that simple.
Knowing who is here illegally, you know, I mean, if we did what Mexico has done up to really recently, Mexico, if you're an illegal immigrant, they would throw you out immediately.
Or even worse, they would throw you in jail for a significant period of time.
Now, one of the things that's happened on the border recently is there is a dramatic slowdown in terms of, let's see, an 85% dis decrease uh in border apprehensions, the lowest level since March.
Now, why did that happen?
Because finally the president put his foot down, even though some Republicans, no spine, no backbone.
He said, Okay, if you don't stop at Mexico, because you're allowing it to happen, those people coming from El Salvador and Nicaragua, Central America are creating migrant caravans and they're marching straight through your country and you're not doing anything, and you're supposed to be our friend and neighbor.
Normally your practice has been to return people, but you've decided to let people just walk right on through Mexico, right up to the Mexican border with America, and now we've got a potential crisis going on.
Okay, that has to stop.
And if it doesn't stop, we're gonna slap a tariff on you.
And that's what the president has done.
And so we'll see.
So anyway, the president is going to uh move forward with the citizenship question.
The other thing, this freedom of speech form on these big tech companies, you gotta understand something here.
If we don't do that, think of the Project Veritas video when James O'Keefe, what was it last week or the week before, the two weeks ago?
And an undercover video showing the people at Google in a very sophisticated fashion are programming algorithms.
Now we're we're leaving my area of expertise here, so you know, bear with me a little bit.
But what they're doing is controlling content.
In other words, they want to control the news that people see when they Google a particular topic.
Now, in the one case, what James O'Keefe did very cleverly, I think, is he said, all right, let's Google Hillary Clinton and emails.
Well, of course, we expect email server, the violation of the espionage act and top secret classified information on the secret server, and then of course the obstruction of subpoenaed emails deleted and bleach bit and the hammers.
Anyway, but it's buried in Google.
But you get Donald Trump pops right up.
Now that would be well, frankly, it's propaganda, it's not honest, it's a false uh representation of what the truth is on the topic, and I you'd think Google would want to inform people with the truth, but it's also a campaign donation.
When you were dealing with Google and the numbers of people that we have that tap into Google every single solitary day to look up information, and you're controlling the free flow of that information, but you're now talking about the ability, probably to impact the outcome of a presidential race, a national election.
That's a problem because that's the biggest in-kind donation ever.
Or the same would go for Facebook or Twitter or any of these high-tech companies if they're controlling data, if they're shadow banning people.
If, for example, they set up algorithms that that reduce conservative content but spread virally liberal content.
Well, that's what this high tech summit's about.
A lot going on at the White House.
They got the summit, then on top of that, then they've got the issue of the president now moving forward with an executive order as it relates to the census question.
How many people are on Google at any given day or hour?
Let me look that up for you.
I believe you can find that information on Hannity.com.
But you tell me that every time, so I assume you have it at your ready.
Do you know how many?
I do actually.
It's uh 60,000 63,000 searches per second.
63,000.
How many in a 24-hour day?
I'm sorry.
Do I do I look like some kind of savant?
I thought you said you had it in front of you.
The statistics.
Stand by.
I know one statistic by what.
What's one?
The 63,000 per second.
That's the one you keep asking me.
Yeah, well, that's the one that's.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, exactly.
Just slow down the show because you're not paying attention.
You're in there talking to Blair and East.
First of all, do you know what I was just doing for you?
What were you doing for me?
I was just printing out the Project Veritas highlights from that video.
So I could bring it into you so you didn't have to try to, you know, scram through your, you know, that copy call a brain.
The cobweb.
Wow.
Getting a little uh under the collar in here today.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, so what's the number?
Oh, I was talking.
Hold on.
What's the number?
Yeah, 3.5 billion.
3.5 billion a day.
Search is a day.
All right.
Now you're gonna control the content of that 3.5 billion a day.
And if you're controlling the content to advance a political agenda, not another, well, that gives a massive influential competitive advantage to one person.
One side of the debate.
We don't want that.
All right, we'll get back to that as the day unfolds.
Now, this is getting really interesting because behind the scenes yesterday, speaker of the house in name only, Nancy Pelosi.
Well, it turns out she's telling people like Alexandria Casio Ortez Cortez that if you have a criticism of me, tell me to my face, not on Twitter.
Well, every time she calls out the real speaker, the one that is controlling the agenda, well, uh uh Alexandria Casio Cortez, or AOC as she is better known, just gives her more of a taste of her own medicine.
Anyway, so we thought the spat was bad yesterday, and it got a lot nastier last night after the so-called speaker Pelosi spoke out and said, literally suggesting the speaker's singling out her and her colleagues.
And then AOC said, telling the Washington Post in an interview that the persistent singling out of newly elected women of color by the speaker may be more than outright disrespectful.
What is she saying?
Uh is she racist?
Is that the implication here?
By the way, interesting in light of the fact that Nancy Pelosi herself played the race card on the census question.
Just what, two days earlier?
And AOC court did not rule in their favor because they said the administration did not give sufficient evidence as to why the uh census uh citizenship question should be there.
So they kick the can.
And then the administration said, okay, we won't put it on there, and then the president injected himself into this.
But this is about keeping, you know, make America, you know this hat, make America white again.
They want to make sure that people, certain people are counted.
It's really disgraceful.
And it's not what our founders had in mind.
It's not certain people, it's every person in the country is going to get counted, including those that might be here that we know or here illegally.
You know, if you have, I think I speak for most people.
I I want America, yeah, to be the land of opportunity.
We just can't take the world's population.
And I know there are countries in the world where you have to be build walls to keep them where they are.
By the way, I'm looking at this.
Oh my gosh, this is Google Live.
You see the numbers, over 4 billion Google searches today.
4 billion 174.
Wait, 4 billion 174 million searches so far today.
Wow.
Internet users in the world, 4 billion 277 million people as of today.
Over three million, almost 4 million blog posts today.
Twitter tweets today.
You have 472 million tweets today.
Now these are powerful companies.
Emails today, 161 billion.
Now, I bet those mega data storage centers in Utah, they're pretty busy every day if they're capturing all of this stuff as well, has been suggested on this program.
So, anyways, to watch now Ocasio-Cortez being so defiant, and I love those people in the media saying Hannity is pushing a conspiracy theory again.
He's saying that Nancy Pelosi's not the real speaker, that there was somehow a change in power, but we don't know it because they're hiding it from us.
Okay, for you stupid people in the media mob.
When I say speaker in name only, I'm saying exactly what happened yesterday.
And that is Nancy Pelosi tells Acasio Cortez you got something to say to me, say it to my face, not publicly, not on social media.
And what happens?
Casio Cortez does what she's done every other time.
She goes out, doubles down, and challenges Nancy's quote gavel.
She's the real speaker of the House.
Nancy Pelosi, speaker in name only.
That's it.
She's, and by the way, think about it, speaker in name only.
Well, this kind of proves the point is that if Ocasio Cortez does not care one whit about what Nancy Pelosi says, that's my point.
And who are all the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates listening to because they've all adopted some version of the new Green Deal?
Well, they'd be listening to Ocasio Cortez because it's not like Nancy Pelosi actually has any agenda whatsoever.
I tell you this, I give Ocasio Cortez high marks for one thing.
She's pretty courageous.
I love what she's doing.
I love this.
By the way, will she be courageous enough to ever do this show?
All right, glad you're with us.
25 till the top of the hour.
800-941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
I guess they printed out all of the citizenship census stuff without the question.
Now it's a question of the president executive order to add like another page or another sheet.
And uh that's not looking good, which I think should be.
I don't see anything wrong with asking the question and knowing who exactly is in this country.
I don't know why that's even deemed controversial.
I don't think I think every American knows fundamentally and instinctively it is in our character, it's in the our our bloodstream, it's in our soul, it's in our solar plexus, in that we are a nation of immigrants.
We have people from over the entire globe coming to this country.
Nobody has said that I have heard they want to end all immigration.
I have not heard anybody say that.
I've not heard anybody or would suggest, well, we're only gonna take people from here, but not here.
I'd not heard that.
What people are saying, though, is what we're asking, because look, if we opened up our doors tomorrow, probably half the world's population would want to come right over.
We don't have the capacity to take in everybody that wants to be here.
We're just asking that you respect our laws, our constitution, our borders, and our sovereignty, and that you follow the legal process, which by the way, I would be in favor of expediting that process.
I'd make a few suggestions.
I would say I do like the idea of merit-based citizenship or merit-based immigration.
It's the same system that Australia has, New Zealand has.
Very difficult to get into those countries.
And by the way, their their prime ministers have been very firm on the issue of assimilation.
If you come to Australia, you're going to be an Australian.
You're not going to tell us how we ought to change our way of life and and their view of civil society and how they run things.
So they've been pretty clear about that.
And as far as illegal immigration, well, if you're going by boat, say, to Australia, and they will meet you in the waters, and they're going to give you food, and they'll give you water, and they're going to give you, if you need it, medical attention.
They won't take you to the mainland.
If you need real medical attention, they're going to take care of you.
Then they're going to send you back in the boat and then tell you to go back to where you came from.
They don't accept illegal immigration.
Mexico of all countries, I mean, it infuriated me because they had some of the most draconian treatment of illegal immigrants.
They'd throw you in jail for however long they wanted indefinitely at times, or they just throw you back, send you back immediately.
You know, do not pass go, you're going back.
No questions asked.
And since the president did his things, anyway, I get it.
We'll see what happens in the end here.
But illegal immigrant population, you know, according to some surveys, is going to be 10%.
We don't have the ability to absorb that.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean is a toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
I want to take a quick break here for a second in the sense that uh we have now the southeastern United States, all the way from, say, Houston through Florida.
Now we have a forecast that looks pretty ominous and may even turn into, I guess, the season's first hurricane.
Uh we have Weatherbell.com, the official meteorologist of the Sean Hannity show, Joe Bastardi standing by.
What are the biggest what's happening?
When is it going to happen?
New Orleans, I guess, is in jeopardy of at least tropical storm winds, maybe even twelve inches of rain or more.
Uh who's in jeopardy here?
Well, New Orleans is the target that I'm most nervous about, and uh we have a uh a situation that actually has been evolving for three or four months.
The extremely cold winter in the northern plains, the record snow cover, the late snow melt combined with the enhanced precipitation in the plains, means that the Mississippi River is uncommonly high around New Orleans.
Now, if that situation did not occur, this is not that big a deal for New Orleans.
They're going to get sixty to seventy mile an hour wind gust, I think, and uh four to eight inches of rain, that's not that big a problem for New Orleans, they've had storms like that before.
But because the Mississippi is so high, and because the fetch off the ocean, and then you folks in the northeast know about what we call fetch, where there's days of east winds coming in, they pile the tide up.
And what happens is that you're going to get winds strong from the east, late tonight and tomorrow, into the southeast on Saturday and south on Sunday.
That's going to push water, try to push water up the Mississippi as it's raining very heavily and with the uh the rest of the Mississippi flowing down toward it.
So the the potential here is that out of a run of the mill tropical storms, because of preexistent conditions, that New Orleans could have a bad flood.
Now, right now, they're forecasting it to be to not breach the levees.
One foot below is what they've got.
Yesterday they were a little bit higher.
But I'm very concerned, especially looking at the U.S. hurricane models, which are uh, you know, are emblematic of the problem we have in forecasting, that they're trying to blow the storm up and take it right over New Orleans.
So there's a lot of uncertainty here.
And what we are doing is the same thing we've been doing all week is telling people that we believe this is going to come inland and it is a threat for New Orleans.
Houston, I don't think you have to worry about much at all.
So uh that's that's a positive that this is not coming all the way back to Houston.
Well, when we t I I'm trying to impact and absorb what you're saying about New Orleans because I know the levi I mean, we went through Hurricane Katrina.
Now you're talking about what rising tide because of the rainfall.
What of a let's say it's 12 to 18 inches.
Does that then breach the levees and that means it gets flooded?
If they get 12 to 18 inches of rain over New Orleans with uh southerly winds, uh southeast south winds uh blowing for two, two, three days, even with the storm going west of them, that is going to be a huge problem.
Uh but there's so much variance here.
And you know, uh Sean, in our preseason forecast we issued in April, we said this is precisely the kind of storm to look for this year.
May not be a lot coming off Africa, but the ones that pop in your backyard, you may see something pop in our backyard or relatively close before this season's over.
That's the kind of year it is.
So we you know, we've sort of been waiting for this to start showing up, this kind of system.
This didn't originate over the tropics, it came down out of the northwest.
Alicia, by the way, for you folks in Texas in 1983, that was a category three hurricane originating the same way.
It was a land system that came down over the Gulf and turned west.
So what we're telling people is this that there is a lot of potential in New Orleans for some real bad things to happen.
I mean, I'm not I'm not going to sugarcoat that.
In the best case scenario, uh, I think the best case is being outlined now in that uh it will stay below the levees and they're gonna have a tropical storm.
The hurricane part of this, because we do believe it will become a hurricane, we'll head off toward uh Vermilion Bay and up over Lafayette to the west over there.
But you you've been down there before, you know how low lying that land is, how susceptible it is to flooding.
So it is a headache.
Well, you just you know, I I just in my own mind would think after everything that New Orleans has been through that they would have built the levees a little higher.
Now I they got listen, I gotta tell you something.
After Katrina hit, I wrote a paper called you know about why no matter what they do in New Orleans, the wrong storm is going to flood them.
There's a storm in 1947, Sean, that came in from the East Southeast.
It hit West Palm as a category four or five, was only a one or two when it came back to New Orleans.
I look at that track.
That that track back where it makes landfall just north of the mouth of the Mississippi and pushes all the water back into Lake Bourne and Lake Poncha train.
If you had a storm as strong as Katrina, take that path into New Orleans, you know, they could build levees to 25, 30 feet.
It's not going to stop it.
Remember, Katrina, the storm surge was only nine to thirteen feet back into Poncha Train.
It's not like it's not like a kind of storm surge that they had in Biloxi and East State Gulfport.
The biggest problem here, though, is caused by the Mississippi being so high.
And uh, you know, relative to averages in the summer season, it's not usually this high.
And that particular aspect was set up two, three, four months ago.
And in addition, it's exactly opposite of what was being pushed in the climate change event uh agenda that we were going to start seeing droughts all over the place.
And uh so it it's amazing because you you're seeing people come out of the woodworkers, ah, here it is climate change.
This is a run-of-the-mill development in the northern Gulf of Mexico compounded by the fact that instead of being so darn warm in the spring, it was wickedly cold in the plains.
That set up the battle for heavy precipitation.
You had late melting snow, and it you know, it's dangerously close to causing a big problem with this tomorrow is happening.
The official meteorologist of the Sean Hannity show.
He has weatherbell.com, uh Joe Bastardi, he's got an encyclopedic knowledge of every storm every year that goes back to the 1600s.
Uh anyway.
That's about all I can do, though.
No, you can lift weights pretty well.
Uh Joe's a big weightlifter and bodybuilder.
Uh all right, Joe Bistardi, thank you, my friend.
800 941 Sean.
All right, so you got it this we we've got three separate civil wars breaking out.
You got the deep state all turning on each other.
And by that I mean you got Strzok and Page, they're turning well, they might be turning on each other, interestingly, but uh certainly they have united in pointing the finger at the Attorney General Loretta Lynch at the time.
Then you've got Comey, Comey's at war with Brennan and and Clapper, and they're at war with him.
Then Comey's battling McCabe, and then Baker's battling all of them.
And I think the net result of it is people are starting to talk, and we're now getting finally to the deep dive part and the truth, which is gonna be very interesting.
Those that are held accountable for this abuse of power and corruption.
Then you've got the Ocasio Cortez.
I mean, she accused Pelosi, literally persistently singling out women of color.
It's outright disrespectful coming on the heels of Nancy Pelosi playing the race card against the president and Republicans on the census question.
Now, there is something that is happening with the 2020 leftist socialists.
Now they all agree pretty much on some version of the new Green Deal.
They all agree that they want illegal immigrants to get free health care.
They all agree that borders are immoral.
They all agree on on pretty much they all want to raise taxes.
They all want to raise taxes on businesses.
Does anyone know that corporations passed the increase in taxes onto consumers?
Or if you go to a 90% corporate marginal income tax rate, they're gonna leave the country.
And if you have any doubt of what I'm saying is true, ask yourself why is New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, the highest tax states in the country.
Why are they losing population to all the low-tax states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee, the Carolinas, wherever.
Why?
Because of burdensome taxation and regulation.
Tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich.
We did.
Now God forbid the rich leave.
They're leaving 2.3 billion dollar shortfall in New York.
By the way, Andrew Cuomo can get out of any financial difficulty in 30 seconds.
Just sign off on fracking in upstate New York.
Be the best thing he ever did for the state.
I don't think he's gonna do it.
Anyway, so now we've got so the leading pack in the field is certainly emerged.
It still remains sleepy, creepy, crazy Uncle Joe.
Then you've got the worst mayor.
Well, he's given Comrade de Blasio a run for his money, but you know, you got Buddha judge, Mayor Pete, who has the worst track record of a small town mayor I've ever heard.
Not that South Bend, Indiana is small, but it is small.
And it's a nice town.
It's a home of Notre Dame.
I mean, it's great.
And you got Kamala Harris, who scored big points beating down Joe, but then pulling away.
Remember, Harris says there's gonna be no private insurance.
We're all gonna be under Medicare for all.
Bernie Sanders bragging that he now has brought the entire Democratic Party over to his positions that are mainstream.
The socialist mainstreamer.
And then, of course, Elizabeth Warren.
You know, combined, they raised 100 million dollars in the past three months, and they share the majority of the public support.
Anyway, so now you got Biden says, all right, let me change the topic.
He's talking about foreign policy, the same guy that gave 150 billion to mullahs that chant death to America, death to Israel.
You got Buddha Judge proposing a broad plan to counter what he's calling racial inequality and establish a $10 billion fund for black entrepreneurs over five years, $25 billion in historic for historically black colleges, legalize marijuana, expunge past drug convictions, reduce the prison population by half, and pass a new voting rights act to empower, etc.
etc.
Anyway, and comparing it to a Marshall Plan, and which is the equivalent of about a hundred billion dollars at current value.
Then you got Kamala Harris, she decided to team up with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez on the housing legislation, and we don't have a price ticket on that.
Then we have De Blasio saying, I'm gonna pay, I'll pay female athletes equally if elected president.
Well, um, okay, but I didn't know the government paid athletes.
I thought teams paid athletes.
I guess they'll determine that too.
And by the way, New York is proposing building brand new jails with a more welcoming experience that will replace Rikers Island.
They'll have jails with natural sunlight, space for programming, and a children's play area for the prisoners.
And that's what they're proposing.
And I'm not making this up.
Somehow it's something to do with before 2008.
As if my opponents want to believe I served from 1972 to 2008 and then took hiatus the next eight years.
They don't want to talk much about my time as vice president of the United States.
It was the honor of my lifetime to serve with the man who I believe is a great president, historic figure, and most important to me, a close friend.
I was vetted.
I was vetted by he and ten serious lawyers he appointed to go back and to look at every single thing in my background.
From finances to anything I'd done.
Everything.
And he selected me.
I'll take his judgment about my record, my character, my ability to handle a job over anyone else's.
I know there are many who want this campaign to be about my past.
My past.
My past.
I get it.
That's the game.
But this isn't a game.
Every one of you, no matter who you're for, know in your bones.
This election is different.
Not because I'm running.
This election is different.
Here we are in Nashville.
Um I know this from my home state of Texas.
Um, those places that formed the Confederacy.
Um, that this country was founded on white supremacy.
And every single institution and structure that we have in our country still reflects the legacy of slavery and segregation in Jim Crow and suppression.
Even in our democracy, the ability to vote and participate in our elections.
All right, that was uh Robert Francis Beto Bozo O'Rourke, uh glad you're with us, 800, 941 Sean.
Before that it was sleepy, creepy, crazy Uncle Joe.
Uh now he, by the way, finally got his footing.
It took him three weeks after the Kamala Harris beatdown, but now he's come up with the line and he's delivering it with such passion.
Um, anyway, got a lot to get to.
Um, a couple of things you gotta know here.
Oh, I forgot to mention, you know, Nancy Pelosi is giving illegal immigrants tips on how to evade ICE agents, which is kind of a new low, but sanctuary cities and states kind of do the same thing because you're aiding and abetting in criminal activity.
But uh anyway, in a press conference earlier today, after the real speaker, she's speaker in name only, Ocasio Cortez ripped her for pretty much being racist and going after only women of color.
Anyway, press conference earlier today.
Pelosi actually told the illegal immigrants they don't need to answer the door if ICE comes knocking because a deportation warrant is not the same as a search warrant.
I mean, these are supposed to be lawmakers.
Now, if you don't like the law, if you don't like the constitution, you just can't make it up as you go.
That's not how a civil society, a constitutional republic actually works.
But I'm sure that that's just new news to her.
She probably doesn't even know.
Um, anyway, so we do have other sort of on the sidelines.
We have some other data that has come in for crazy, creepy Uncle Joe.
Remember, Biden and Obama left.
And we had 13 million more Americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty, the worst recovery since the 40s, lowest labor participation rate since the 70s, more debt than all 43 presidents and vice presidents before them combined.
Okay, and they dropped 150 billion dollars.
These geniuses, known as Biden Obama, they 150 billion dollars in cash and other currencies on the tarmac of Tehran for Mullers that chant death to America.
You know, could they convert or die leaders of Mer Iran that have been sowing proxy wars, terrorism, funding terrorism for all these years.
Yeah, that's brilliant move on the part of creepy, sleepy, crazy Uncle Joe and uh Obama.
By the way, a military poll out by the Military Times shows veterans, yeah, they overwhelmingly approve of the president that's not an appeaser.
Wow.
And by the way, a near record in that particular poll.
And on top of it, yeah, what is helping?
The people that are doing the best.
Heritage Foundation puts out a study and with the new unemployment numbers that came out, 224,000 jobs created in June.
Unexpected, of course, like every other month, now that we're headed towards 7 million new jobs under Donald Trump and 7 million fewer people on food stamps and on on the unemployment lines.
And of course, now we know too from the census that in fact there's 7.5 million jobs unfilled right now in the country.
But just pointing it out that the people that benefited the most out of this climb and the economy of Donald Trump, when you actually look for it, it is quote, the U.S. economy offers new opportunities to people who have historically been left behind.
The left continues to push their radical agenda against American values.
The good news is there is a solution.
Average wages have grown above 3% now for 10 straight months, twice as fast as inflation.
Since the tax cuts, the largest in history by Donald Trump in 2017, wage growth for the poorest 25% of Americans has now reached a post-recession high of 4.4%.
Now don't forget, 10% of American taxpayers pay 70% of the income tax bill.
20%, over 90%.
The bottom 50% of wage earners pay no federal income taxes.
None.
Nothing.
Not a penny.
So we have full and complete redistribution.
Now the question is as the Democrats now begin to lay out their policies without specifics and without costs, and all of them support illegal immigrants.
Uh yeah, health care, you're Paying for it and everything in between.
Now they're aiding and abetting in Sanctuary City States and everything else.
Then you got creepy Uncle Joe now giving a foreign policy speech.
He's the guy that helped the Mullers in Iran.
Then you got Buddha judge proposing a hundred billion dollars in a plan to counter racial inequality.
And you got Kamala Harris who says we're all going to be under Medicare for all and no private insurance.
How did Obamacare keep your doctor plan and save money work out?
It didn't.
Then De Blasio, Comrade de Blasio's pledging to pay female athletes equally to men.
I didn't know that the city's mayor of New York was responsible for paying athletes for professional teams.
I actually thought the free market determined what a team chooses to pay or not pay somebody.
Anyway, here to look at the latest polls where we are in this uh 2020 election, John McLaughlin, Matt Towery are with us.
Um welcome back both of you, and you're doing a great job in retirement, Matt, as I can tell as you're you come on every time we ask you, and you always have some good recent data to share, but you're not working.
We'll just pretend you're telling the truth on that.
But at least I'm in Atlanta today, Sean.
All right, well, good for you.
All right, so here's here's the main question.
If you couple the new Green Deal, if you cut add that to ill legal immigrants' health care being paid for and everything in between versus the Trump economy, do these polls even mean a single thing to you?
To me, absolutely not.
Um I think right now we're in this time period where polling these various um horse races between the various Democratic candidates or even between the Democrats and the President are relatively meaningless.
I mean, we saw how quickly things shifted just from the debate where Kamala Harris managed to land that that blow to Biden, and everything moved very quickly because of course the media moved it in that direction.
Now we're seeing some of a little bit of this drifting back, Biden's up by 11 points on average in real politics.
None of this really matters right now.
But what does matter, Sean, and I think it's very important, is that the overall drift of the Democratic Party to the left, which was very obvious from that debate and all the fallout, I think that's assisting the president even more in his approval ratings.
And if you recall about three weeks ago when we were on the air, I said I felt like in my gut that that the president turned the corner and that his approval ratings were moving up.
And we've seen that happen really accelerate after that, after that debate.
Do you see do you see anybody in your view, John McLaughlin?
And I had this conversation when I was on vacation last week with a number of people.
Do you see Donald Trump losing any of the vote from 2016?
And do you think with record low unemployment for the demographics such as African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the youth uh workforce, and youth unemployment, do you see that he has the potential of gaining new voters?
Absolutely.
I mean, I mean, our strategy back in 2016 when the when Ben Donald Trump, the candidate, asked me how we were going to win.
I said we were gonna excite new voters, and we brought out nine million new voters, and they had for a record historic turnout of 139 million, and we were able to defy the polls because we brought out new voters.
You're gonna have the same effect now.
And we had 63 million voters come out and support him for president back in 2016.
The strategy this time is very clear that we've been, as Matt has pointed out, we've been grinding up, moving up the president's job approval.
So even these biased polls, like if you go on the real clear politics average, you'll see all these polls and they'll have his average at 45 for job approval and the liberals are freaking out because you'll have the Washington Post saying we've got 47% job approval and these other ones, but they're registered voters.
So that's an uh that's a universe of 240 million people.
You'll have instead of 139 million people like we had in 2016, you'll have a hundred over 140, maybe 150 million people come out.
So the president is actually broadening his base as well as Do you see him losing uh all the people that voted for him in 2016?
Let's focus on three states in particular, because I think it'll make all the difference.
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Of course, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, they always matter.
But in those three states, do you see anybody that can take those states back for the Democrats?
Not in this group, because as Matt said, and you pointed out, they're going left.
I mean, the best thing we had was that the the last series of Democrat debates.
I mean, the the Trump campaign, I wanted to run them as an infomercial and just keep looping them and letting people play.
I mean, that that that uh the one question where where the the moderator asked the Democrats, would you you know, do you support uh free health care for illegal immigrants?
And they all raised their hands.
I mean, there's people out there in those states that you're talking about in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, they can't afford their own health care, and now you want to t tax them to pay for somebody who's here illegally.
I mean, the Democrat Party is really going that's the second part of our strategy is let them go off to on the edge of the city.
No, let them no no when they're digging a big hole, let them dig it.
Uh I do think that that they're now locked into these positions that are so out of the mainstream, Matt Towery.
How big an impact.
Well, I think it's a huge impact.
And and to John's point, I mean uh and I say the president's lucky to have someone like John at Boston because he gets it.
This has to do with John.
Why are you sucking up to John?
I don't have your direct John.
I don't have to suck into John anymore.
I just have to say, No, I know, because you're retired, just like I'm retired.
Keep going.
Right.
So anyway, he is lucky to have it.
But but that having been said, it's about turnout.
And I think what's going to happen, Sean, and there's been we talked about this before.
I think that not only are you going to see an increase in intensity in turnouts for the president, I think you're going to see as they drift further to the left, and I think that's inevitable with this Democratic Party this time, you're going to see states that John and I are not even talking about right now that will drift more towards President Trump.
I think again, this is a Nixon McGovern type election scenario.
I will put one little um caveat there.
The only states that I'm concerned about are the demographically challenged states, of which one of which I'm in today, which is Georgia.
Uh because a state like this has seen a shift in sure and it's just based on how people vote demographically, historically.
Cobb County, which of course in our old days, Sean, when you and I were doing the New Gingrich thing, Cobb was 70% Republican.
I would vote 65 to 70 percent Republican.
It is likely to be a Democratic county this next go-around, which gives you some idea of the change in better.
That is a dramatic shift.
And I was there I was there when the state of Georgia went blue to red.
So I mean you saw the whole thing.
So now most people expect well, the majority of the of the legislative delegation, which I was a part of years ago as a Republican, is now Democrat in Cobb County.
Yeah, I gotta really change it.
I got to take a break.
More with Matt Towery and John McLaughlin, our pollsters.
Music.
All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity show, our polsters taking the pulse every couple of weeks or so.
Matt Towery, John McLaughlin.
All right, if you had to guess now today, John McLaughlin, what's the Democratic ticket?
I I think right now he's gonna see a battle between uh Harris and Warren for the nomination.
A lot there's a lot of things that can happen between now and then, but in the past, remember we talked about Biden.
Biden has collapsed from May 9th from 41% in the peak of the real clear politics average, 14 points where he's down he he's down to 27% on the average.
And he's gonna collapse even more because they're really picking on him.
And there's been a secondary collapse.
Sanders has gone from 24% back in March down to 15% now, and you've got Harris at 15 and Warren at 14.
Six out of ten Democrat primary voters happen to be women, and a good number of them happen to be African American women.
So you're about to see uh this fight coming up.
Matt, what do you think?
We got about 45 seconds.
Okay, I said uh two months ago, Harris, I'm sticking with Harris.
I think she'll probably be the nominee, having every the running they would be.
I would agree that Warren would be right up there close, though, because she's a fighter, and I do think it'll be a woman to the nominee.
Uh I'm gonna agree right now, advantage Kamala Harris, but I think her extreme positions when exposed are gonna prevent her from ever winning the presidency.
I agreed.
Um and watch out watch out for Buddha judge.
Well, you disagree who disagrees, John?
No, but Buddha judge isn't going anywhere.
No, I I absolutely I can't disagree.
And and you know what?
In the end, the winner's gonna be Donald Trump.
And we've been saying this for a while, and you've been saying it, Matt's been saying it, and now you're seeing it come about.
And uh we've got a long way to go, but the environment is there.
Quick break.
We'll come back.
We'll continue.
Your call's coming up.
We'll be right back.
Twenty five now to the top of the hour, eight hundred nine four one Sean is our toll free telephone number.
I like what was been going on most of the day here today.
They had the free speech summit at the White House, which is I thought you were referring to us and our hard work, sorry.
Okay, you're doing a great job.
Uh and now, why is this free speech summit?
If if these big massive tech companies, let's let's take Project Veritas and Google and the tape of James O'Keefe.
If they have the ability to control the content of what they put up as news on their sites, and they suppress other news, and they they literally set algorithms.
Again, this is outside of my area of expertise.
I can barely download an app.
But I get it done somehow.
Blair, Linda, my kids.
Somebody help me download an app.
Um but if they could this is the biggest in-kind donation ever.
When you're talking about how many, what was it?
Every second, six million plus people on Google.
Stand boy, let me get you the right idea.
Are we waiting for the New Yorker to Google it up?
Go to Google.
First of all, it's on handity.com.
I'll be looking on handity.com.
Handity.com.
Yeah, we better put the statistics up there.
You're welcome.
But every single time, every second of every minute of every hour of every day, if they're controlling the content, well, and they're doing it to favor one political party, one ideology over another, that is an in-kind contribution.
A massive one.
Because of the All right, here it is.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
I'm sorry, were you talking?
Go ahead.
Google receives over 63,000 searches per second on any given day.
Say that again.
Google receives over 63,000 searches per second on any given day.
Wow.
That's a lot of searches.
So the algorithm, this is why that Project Veritas tape was so good.
It exposed their agenda.
We all got screwed over in 2016.
Again, it wasn't just it was like the people got screwed over.
The news media got screwed over, like everybody got screwed over some day.
Jenjina is the head of responsible innovation at Google Global Affairs.
She determines policy and ethics for machine learning or artificial intelligence.
What we've learned is that AI is increasingly what Google search is all about.
The reason we launch our AI was because people were not putting that line in the summit.
They were not saying that it's fair and technical.
So we were like, well, we are a big company.
We're gonna say it.
For my definition of fairness and biased speech.
This is the talk to me.
And that's why I care about speech or news who are in power.
Our definition of fairness.
One of those things that we thought would be like obvious and everybody would agree to.
The same people who voted for the current president do not agree with our definition of fairness.
Fairness is a dog whistle.
It does not mean what you think that it means.
And you have to apply double think in order to understand what they're really saying.
What they're really saying about fairness is that they have to manipulate their search results so that it gives them their political agenda that they want.
And so they have to re-bias their algorithms so that they can uh they can get their agenda across.
You know, to unpack everything that she's saying, so she wants to be uh she wants the algorithm to be fair to uh a handpicked representative of that community, means that what she's trying to do is she's trying to sell your product that is not objectionable.
What she's trying to do is she's trying to sell product that's not objective, that doesn't represent the will of its users, but instead represents the will of a of a of a group of people making decisions behind the shadows.
So what did you find inside Google that was related to this idea of fairness?
What I found at Google related to fairness was the machine learning algorithm called ML fairness.
ML standing for machine learning.
And fairness, meaning whatever it is that they want to define as fair.
You could actually think of fairness as unfair because it's um taking as input the clicks that people are making and then figuring out which signals are being generated from this clicks and which signals it wants to amplify and then also get it Project Veritas also received a trove of confidential documents from within Google.
This document is about algorithmic unfairness.
It reads, quote, for example, imagine that a Google image query for CEOs shows predominantly men.
Even if it were a factually accurate representation of the world, it would be algorithmic unfairness, unquote.
Gorof Giet, a Google software engineer, independently verified the thesis of this document.
But then that seems uh called ML fadness.
ML fairness, it seems sadness.
Yeah.
You know, you need to be sad.
Yeah.
So we are trying to modify the model substance, even if the data part of female CEO is a slow.
It's kind of balances out.
Now, this is a a confidential document, correct?
Yes.
It's just not a document that Google has come out and admitted that this is their process.
That's correct.
Um and in this in this document it says, I'm gonna read from it.
In fact, in fact, if you brought this up without the document, they would say that this is a conspiracy theory.
Wow.
So then they wouldn't admit this publicly.
They wouldn't never admit this publicly.
In in this document, it says in some cases it may be appropriate to take no action if the system accurately affects current reality, while in other cases it may be desirable to consider how we might help society reach a more fair and equitable state via product intervention.
What do they mean by that?
So what they want to do is they want to act as gatekeepers between the user and the content that they're trying to access.
And so they're gonna come in, they're gonna filter the content, and they're gonna say, uh, actually, we don't want to give the user access to that information because it's gonna create a uh an outcome that's undesirable to us.
Does Google have an editorial agenda?
Uh does the company make news decisions?
Is that what I'm seeing in this document?
Yes.
Um this is describing what's happening within the with the with Google News.
Would Google have a problem if people saw this document?
Yeah, I think so.
Why wouldn't Google want people to see this document?
Uh the reason why is because um right here um in uh some of these boxes, they're applying um editorial, uh their their editorial agenda onto uh the news sources.
And if you were to expand that, you would see that there's uh machine learning uh fairness within these uh algorithmic checks, and they state right here that it's for callability and extractability, but in reality it's it's it's does it fall in line with their um with their agenda?
And if it does, it it pops to the top, and if it doesn't, then it gets buried.
Google's really thinking, 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 piece, they're not an objective source of information.
They are a highly biased political machine um that is bent on never letting somebody like Donald Trump come to power again.
Tiny 20 is certainly a problem.
Now my old organization's just in safety top of mind.
They've been working on it since 2016 to make sure we're ready for 2020.
Training our algorithms like it's 2016.
It would be different.
Pretty unbelievable.
All right, 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Actually, you know what?
Before we do that.
Oh boy.
I think that we should No, this is a good thing.
I think we should remind the audience of what James O'Keefe discovered.
You know just a little bit, not like a lot.
I'm not gonna take away from the qualas.
I'm just saying to say something.
Your you Your accent gets thicker.
It doesn't get better.
It gets thicker.
Oh, should I talk like you?
Golf.
Say golf.
Say golf the way you say it.
I say golf.
And I want to have a golf off.
Golf?
I'm calling it a golf off.
Isn't that what you call it in sports?
Well, golf off.
No, there's no such thing as a golf off.
No.
There's no such thing as a golf off.
But isn't there a thing in sports back?
How many minutes dance off?
Oh, you know what?
That is what I'm thinking of.
Ethan's right.
I love dancing.
Let's do that, Sean.
Let's outdance each other.
Uh no, because I've already been charity.
I was I've already been humiliated to be out with you at the Redneck Riviera bar.
You weren't humiliated, you were revered.
They were like, oh my God, Sean actually has a friend that can shake it.
Oh, thank God.
No, that's not what it was at all.
So we're there with our entire crew, and what was the audience knows the story and they're on my side.
Okay.
What were we there for?
We were there for everybody was there.
We were there for a very somber.
Oh, that's right.
I remember.
Okay.
So did you want me to finish?
Yes.
Okay.
No, please take it.
It's your means.
I don't want to interrupt.
Why would I why would I love not being interrupted?
Go ahead.
Interrupt me.
So, anywho, we were out there for a very somber event, which was the one year anniversary of the deadly shooting in Las Vegas for all of those folks that went to the country music festival.
And John Rich came out there big and rich, and um we had this amazing sort of like charity event.
It was like a tribute, and it was really beautiful.
But afterwards, uh John Rich has a redneck Riviera whiskey bar on strip.
Right.
So him and Kenny got up and they actually did a very impromptu set.
It was fantastic.
Sounds us in there is spot on.
And so, you know, I decided to uh take where the rhythm moved me, which was the dance floor with many other people.
The only difference was all of you and the rest of your staff were too uh stiff and too incapable to join me.
So I had to dance with strangers, which was fine.
Okay, it was a little weird.
And Blair and I saw this and we're like, look at him.
Then Stanger was there, and sweet baby James was there, and everybody's looking and like she's dancing on the dance floor by herself.
Oh, yeah, and then Finland I danced too, remember?
Oh, I remember that.
And I remember Blair saw me in Finland.
He didn't see me in Vegas.
But John Rich saw me in Vegas, and John Rich gave me a big old thumbs up when I was.
No, you think he was on the stage playing with Big Kenny, and I don't think he saw you in the crowd because the lights are.
First of all, I got a major shout out from the stage.
He was like, Linda from Hannity in the house.
What what?
Yeah, okay, whatever.
And I remember that happened.
I remember me saying Sweet Baby James and everybody else, like, oh my God, this is so much.
Oh my god, we're gonna hold up the wall.
It can't do it on its own.
That's exactly that's what I'm doing.
All right, let me let me get to the phones.
We'll say hi to Jerry and Missouri.
How are you, Missouri?
Uh just kidding.
How are you, Jerry?
What's going on?
Oh, pretty.
Sounds like you guys have fun when you're not working.
I'll I'll make this fast.
I am so tired of the double standards that both sides are practicing in regard to the Epstein matter.
If Secretary Acosta is gonna face consequences, and maybe he should, then so should the Clintons, because they were even they're gonna be a good one.
Well, Clinton was there.
Well, I mean, 26 times on the Lolita Express, and by all accounts on most of those trips, you have these young girls.
You know, I was talking to somebody, I forget who yesterday, and and I don't know what was going on, but I'm like, I'm sorry, there's too much smoke here, and I have sirens blaring all over my mind about all of this.
But you know, one of the things that Alexander Acosta said, and I I didn't really think about this last night.
Pam Bondi was on, and she made the observation that she has tried a lot of these sex crime cases.
There, I mean, these these are there are these predator pedophiles out there.
And remember, remember to catch a uh criminal, remember that show that went on, they would catch all the pedophiles, and it was actually catch a predator to catch a predator.
All right, so I would watch these things.
I mean, it's so disgusting what they do and how they literally they're they're predators, they're out there, and they are trying to lure teenage kids to have sex with them.
In other words, they are the embodiment of evil.
You know, look at the hierarchy in prison.
You could be the worst murderer, and And you'll you'll get along with the prison population.
If you're a predator pedophile, they don't want, they even have a line that you don't cross.
And I'm talking about the worst criminals.
But what Pam was saying, and what Acosta was revealing and saying is that the lenient deal happened because a lot of the accusers were refusing.
And by the way, I'm not judging the accusers.
If you come out and you make an allegation, and you got to be cross-examined, and you're 14 years old with braces, as the Daily Mail article pointed out in one case, um, and those defense attorneys are going right at you.
I don't know that I mean now you have to relive the trauma again and again and again.
I I don't know if a kid doesn't want to do that, you can't blame them.
And I all but two apparently refused to testify.
Uh, according to former prosecutor Solomon Weisberg, uh, he was on Fox News last night with Laura.
And based on allegations from two of the accusers, it was not a slam dunk, especially since, according to reports, that you know there were people willing to testify that, well, he was actually a great guy.
I don't know.
I mean, it's it's a little more complicated, but I'll tell you this my gut, my siren, my instinct is it's reeling in my head.
