We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down with Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, it's primary day, and we are in New Hampshire, and glad you're with us, 800-941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Two big stories emerging.
One is that Quid Pro quo Joe apparently packing up his bags and headed on out of town because Quid Pro quo Joe ain't going to do too well here in New Hampshire.
Probably a fourth place finish if I had to guess now.
And maybe even a fifth place, who really knows?
Oh, we've got an awful lot of coverage of, oh, Mayor Bloomberg, the guy that has spent millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars that nobody ever sees in what is an ad campaign, the backup hope when Quid Pro quo Joe likely fails.
Uh-oh, his campaign may have died today.
And I'll explain in all its ugly details.
You got Joe Manchin literally saying that if Sanders is the nominee, I might vote for Trump.
He said it on fake news CNN when, you know, support Sanders over Trump if it came down to that.
We'd have to see at the time he said, but he said, Sanders, I can tell you one thing, he's got a good heart and he wants to do the right thing.
Who knows?
Bernie might change and moderate just a little bit every now and then.
No, that's never happening.
He's a socialist through and through.
That's not going to happen.
Oh, one side note, non-related to the primary today in New Hampshire or the election, Lindsey Graham intends to grill Comey and McCabe and Yates and Rod Rosenstein and everybody else for the FISA investigations.
Now, I know it's been long in coming, and I know we're waiting for the Durham report, and we know that we were completely vindicated with the Horowitz report, even though pretty much everybody in the media was out there chasing Russia conspiracies and lies that were proven untrue and everything we told you about the Espionage Act and obstruction and deleting subpoenaed emails, bleach bed hammers, a dirty Russian dossier, likely Russian disinformation from the get-go.
Even now the New York Times admitting, yeah, we told you the truth.
And then the bulk of information and the FISA applications, yeah, that was premeditated fraud because they were all warned.
Now we have Durham and we have Barr now saying, yeah, it's all true, pretty much.
It all happened.
They spied on a candidate, a transition team, and a president.
Oh, and they denied one fellow American his civil liberties and constitutional rights.
Interesting side note is the DOJ is overruling Mueller prosecutors on what they're calling grossly disproportionate, the sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone.
Even the guy, I don't know who this liberal guy is that's friends with Stone.
Listen, I've known Roger Stone for years.
Roger Stone is, he's just a crazy character.
He really is.
I mean, he likes to be important.
Let's be honest.
But he's not dumb.
I mean, how many, put it this way, how many people are going to get a tattoo of Richard Nixon?
You got to be a little crazy to do that.
But they've gone after this guy just like, you know, they want to throw Michael Flynn in jail.
But Comey's been recommended and referred for investigation and criminal prosecution.
McCabe has, Struck and Page, and the whole rest of the deep state mob.
And when we get to it, let's find out what Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice, oh, and Barack Hussein Obama knew and when they knew it.
We're never giving up that story.
We're going to get there.
So all of that is out in the news today.
But again, it's primary day.
We had to guess it's going to come down to Bernie Sanders and Pete Budajudge.
But that's not even the big story either.
I mean, we have a colossal collapse.
And even though everyone will tell you in the media mob, there is groupth that exists in the United States of America, believe it or not.
It's sad.
Because every time the media mob and every Democrat that will tell you that quid, pro, quote, Joe, oh, there's nothing really to any of this.
No, not at all.
You're not getting a billion dollars until you fire the prosecutor investigating my son who went on Good Morning America and admitted he had no experience in oil, gas, energy, or Ukraine.
I'm sure every company wants to pay people with zero experience millions of dollars.
We know what it is.
You want to know why Joe Biden collapsed?
Well, number one, he's mean to people.
This is the third run-in with voters.
You know, the thing that he said yesterday about I came, the pony soldier.
Yeah, I am the Iowa caucus.
That's all I remember.
So how do you explain the performance in Iowa and why should the voters believe that you can win the national election?
It's a good question.
Number one, I was a Democratic caucus.
I was a Democratic caucus.
He's a caucus.
No, you haven't.
You're a lime dog-faced pony soldier.
You said you were, but now you got to be honest.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I was a Democratic caucus.
I mean, not so.
I did get into the Biden event last night.
Whoa, you guys missed the fun.
So Sensei's with me.
I got the TV team.
Fox hired like 16 people because they thought World War III would break out.
I walked around the whole room.
I did see buses of young kids that aren't a voting age coming off buses, though.
Interesting.
Because it was a tiny crowd to begin with.
And then it was, okay, a little bit bigger, I think, because of the people in the buses that aren't of legal age to vote.
How do I know?
Because I talked to them.
And then I went through the whole quid pro-quo-Joe thing with everybody.
And then I went through, well, 13 million more Americans, food stamps, 8 million more in poverty and the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s.
And then I talked about Donald Trump's success.
They weren't very open-minded.
And then I brought up, oh, would you give the Mullahs in Iran $150 billion?
I hate Donald Trump.
That's the only answer you can get.
One lady goes to me, you just never, you just, you never tell the truth ever, ever.
You know, and you, I said, okay, here's the microphone.
Tell me one thing that I've ever said that's not true.
I know it's true, but I, but there's so many I can't, but I don't even watch your show.
Then how do you know I'm not telling the truth?
I mean, it's just, it's kind of too easy, but it was, it was, it was very entertaining.
We showed some of it on TV tonight because I guess the news, we won't be able to get a lot of it in today.
It was, look, you know, I did, I will say this.
People that really won't think, I guess, there's this image that is created by Democrats, which kind of leads into the whole Bloomberg disaster for him today.
And they have been told every two and four years that Republicans are racist.
Republicans are sexist.
By the way, I'm not even a Republican.
I'm a registered conservative in New York.
Okay.
That they're misogynist, that they're xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic.
You know, as Obama said, their plan is for dirty air and dirty water.
No, I actually want clean air.
I would like to breathe clean air into my lungs and my children.
I would like my children to have clean air.
And I'd like to drink clean water.
I don't like dirty water.
I don't like ugly water.
I don't like rust-filled water.
I even pay for water because I want the best water that I can put in my body water.
And we should be good stewards of the gifts that God gives us.
God created the heavens and the earth, the majesty of God and his creation of universes within universes.
And he gives us the honor to live here.
And we have an awareness of him which separates us from the animals.
And we have a conscience and a soul and an awareness that he exists.
Now, we don't understand the great deep mystery of God, but we're not supposed to at this point in our infancy because it's really infancy that we're living in.
So anyway, and then they'll say that, oh, and they want grandma and grandpa to die.
And you get the commercials of Republicans throwing Granny and Grandpa over cliffs after years of eating dog food and cat food and not getting any medical attention whatsoever because Republicans are evil.
But that's what they say.
Well, now let's put this through the, well, what if Donald Trump said it test?
Shall we?
Let's just say, you know, we have Mayor Bloomberg.
Now, you got to remember, as mayor of New York, I'll be honest, I know nothing about the guy because he just was one big, dull, boring guy.
I'm being blunt here.
He was sort of the caretaker.
He switched parties from being a Democrat because there was like 40 people running in the primary and there wasn't any Republican running.
So he's not stupid.
He said, well, I'll just say I'm a Republican.
Everyone knows I'm a Democrat.
I'll run as a Democrat.
My platform will be Democratic, but I'm just going to go here and I won't have to go through the hell of that primary.
Okay, and then he eventually switched over to Independent and then he switched back to Democrat, which is what he is.
Okay, now for 17 years, 12 as mayor, four through Comrade de Blasio, and then a year later, well, Mayor Bloomberg defended Stop and Frisk.
And now we're the emerging audio is, and we're going to play it all for you in the course of today's show.
It's pretty bad.
You know, like, for example, when he says, police stop white people too much and minorities too little.
He actually said that.
He said that, yeah, police, we're targeting minority kids and the cops must throw them up against the wall.
Wow, that tape exists too.
Again, what would happen to Donald J. Trump?
What would the mob and the media be saying today if these words came from Donald Trump?
And then he actually goes even further, and he says in one point in this, so, you know, oh my God, people say to me, oh, you're arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.
Not half, not 90%, all minorities.
Yes, that's true.
He's only arresting minority kids for marijuana.
Now, I would think the laws apply equally.
I believe in equal application of our laws, as all of you know, equal justice under the law.
Yes, but he only is targeting minority kids for marijuana and drug use.
Why?
He says, because, get ready for it, because we put all the cops, all of them, in minority neighborhoods.
Oh, because that's where all the crime is.
Now, I happen to have lived in New York, New York City, grew up in Long Island.
I know New York pretty well.
I have my offices in New York, radio and TV.
And I can tell you, there are kids of all races that commit crimes in New York.
There are gangs that are not minority as well in New York.
Usually, if you want to be honest about it, where you have more crime and you have more drugs and a lot of it's socioeconomically driven.
So what have big city mayors done over the years to help build up, you know, and stop crime and create opportunity zones?
Oh, you mean like Donald Trump is doing?
He's the guy doing that.
Or create, let's see, record low unemployment, Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, youth unemployment, African-American youth unemployment.
That would be Donald Trump.
Alice Marie Johnson, well, yes, she got sent to jail for one drug offense, nonviolent crime, and it was Donald Trump that not only commuted her sentence, then he put in criminal justice reform because of disparate sentencing, unfair sentencing for minorities.
Well, I guess that's why Donald Trump's approval rating among African Americans and Hispanics has pretty much quadrupled since 2016.
And I'm talking not about an outlier poll, but about by 10 polls.
And then we said, then he actually goes on further and say, you know, that you throw them up against the wall and you frisk them.
Not that you stop and frisk.
No, you throw them against the wall and frisk them.
And by the way, I'm only getting started in terms of what this guy trying to buy the Democratic nomination has said over the years.
And, you know, for all the talk about Rudy.
Now, stop and frisk and putting more police resources in the areas where higher crime is is smart.
But he is saying it's only one community.
He's all the police resources.
Only kids going to get arrested for drugs are minorities.
If Donald Trump said any of this, yeah, I don't think the mob and the media would be as quiet as they're all acting today because they're trying to ignore it.
And fake news, CNN, somebody texted me and said, oh, they haven't been able to confirm it's him saying it.
Well, everybody else has confirmed it, and you can hear his voice unless you're a dope and you just don't want to, you know, take now that Biden is dying in terms of political viability and take the one guy that was setting up to be the alternative doing all of this.
Now, why did Mayor Bloomberg, after 17 years, decide, oh, no, no, no, I'm going to cry crocodile tears and regret I ever did that?
Because he's playing identity politics and he wants to be president.
And, you know, like the Republican Party, the Democratic Party is a coalition party.
And, oh, a big part of the Democratic vote is often African Americans.
So those crocodile tears I told you at the time I didn't buy.
Anyway, all right.
How are y'all doing today?
It's primary day.
We're in New Hampshire.
Love New Hampshire.
It's a little cold for me, but I love New Hampshire.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Napok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.
Lock her up.
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.

I can't put my finger on the whole story yet, but something is going on that is deep and that is profound.
And that has a lot to do with the DOJ speaking out saying, no, the sentencing you're saying for Roger Stone is over the top.
By the way, what they did with Roger Stone's case was over the top.
Frogmen in the backyard, 50 other people.
What they did with Manafort, all they needed to do is call the lawyers and say, you need to show up by 9 a.m. or we're going to send our guys to you.
But no, they had cameras at Manafort's arrest.
Why?
To scare the crap, abuse power, scare the crap out of people.
You know, I don't know what Roger did or didn't do.
I didn't see anything wrong with it.
You know, I don't know what he's done.
You know, it was stupid for people not to pay their taxes and it's stupid if you lie on a loan application.
It's dumb.
But I will tell you, the double standard is clear.
But now what's happened is very interesting because the prosecutor, remember the DOJ weighing in and saying, no, we're not going along with your seven to nine year sentencing recommendation.
You know, for Roger Stone, what, apparently lying?
That's it.
You know, Comey's free.
He was referred.
He had a referral for lying.
He's still out there being a super patriot.
Same with McCabe and all these other people.
I guess only if you're, you know, but the DOJ prosecutor, Zelinski, resigned after withdrawing from the Roger Stone case.
I mean, these people are not going to be happy unless old people die in jail.
Look where they treated Michael Flynn.
There's something happening that's very deep.
I'm telling you, this is a big deal.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.

All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
We are in the live-free, die granite state of New Hampshire.
It was fun last night going to the Biden event, sparsely attended as it was, even with young people that can't be a voting age there.
But I actually had a good time.
So there were people that wanted to hate me.
This one lady said, wow, you look so much skinnier and younger and taller in person.
So I'm like, oh, so I'm a fat, short, old guy on TV.
Basically.
I mean, they were.
I mean, that's what she's saying.
I mean, essentially, they want to hate you, but the problem is that you walk in and you're nice and you say hello.
You know, they're used to Antifa, so they just assume that everyone's violent and crazy.
Let's sensei sit next to you here because he'si.
Come on, Sensei, be there.
Because, no, he was there.
And so this is Sensei Glenn.
And I keep telling you my passion for martial arts and mixed martial arts.
We do Krab Magog, Kempo, Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, sticks, blade, firearm training.
You have to actually talk closely to a microphone.
It's radio.
I know you're good at, you're a lawyer, a Wall Street guy, and a great Sensei.
Thank you, sir.
All right.
So you were there for the whole time.
You were right there with me.
Yes.
Okay.
How would you describe what happened?
Well, I thought everybody warmed up to you real quick.
They wanted to hate me, right?
They did.
And you charmed them all.
You're polite.
You're nice.
You say we can agree to disagree.
But there was the one guy.
The guy that turned his back.
He turned his back on me.
You could see he was like seething hatred.
I mean, it was the sight of me, it was like Alka-Seltzer and water.
It just was, he was bubbling and fizzing before our eyes.
Meanwhile, I'm like tapping his thing, and I'm like, look at this guy.
He's out of his freaking mind.
We're laughing.
We're laughing our, you know what?
It was very funny.
So, Sensei, how long have you been training me now?
About seven years.
Seven years.
All right.
Now, explain to people, because they ask me all the time, because I always say it's an eclectic blend of the arts.
Yes.
End blade, Krav, Maga, Kempo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Yes.
So the arts that you train in is Filipino martial arts, which is Kali, Escreamer, and Arnice.
We do some kickboxing, Kempo, submission grappling.
We put all that together to have one. comprehensive system.
And we do blade, firearms, stick training, boxing.
That's all in the Filipino arts.
And then we mix in some of the Israeli arts, which is the crumb.
And we do a lot of situational preparation.
And a lot of fitness.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man.
A lot of fitness.
Explain what Pain Day is.
Pain Day.
So Sean gets hit.
Hard.
Gets hit hard.
I had to show.
Next time we have Lawrence on, Lawrence Jones, who we love.
I love Lawrence Jones.
He was there.
And so I let Sensei do Pain Day on my arm.
My arm's like blown up at twice its size today because he hits that hard.
I mean, you're so dense with your hits.
And then he hits me four shots to the stomach.
Four shots to the stomach, four shots to four arms.
He didn't do the five, because you always dropped me purposely on the fifth shot.
You bring me down.
Maybe.
No, you do.
I mean, but that's why I do, you know, hundreds of sit-ups and push-ups every day.
Absolutely.
All right.
So it was overall.
Oh, and how many black belts do you have?
Be honest.
I know you don't like to talk about it.
How many?
JCPenney.
Black belt.
All right.
How many black belts do you have?
Seven.
Seven.
Okay.
And how many do multiple belts?
We have multiple degrees of each belt.
So you worked at Wall Street for how many years?
So I was a securities trader in the beginning, and I was always trained in martial arts.
And then I used to do some.
And you're a lawyer.
I went and got my jurisdiction degree while I was in a family business.
Right.
But I was always into training.
But this is your passion.
This is my passion.
And you literally want to take a vacation.
And your vacation, you told me is you want to go to what, Thailand?
Yes.
I'd love to go to a Thai camp in Thailand.
And you want to go to a Thai camp.
And tell explain.
You want to go to every camp that performs the arts and fight at every one of them.
Yes, I do.
I mean, literally, no holds barred.
Well, basically what you do is there, you do full contact sparring.
With Thai fighting, you don't go to the ground.
It's elbows and knees.
And you would wear some gear so everyone walks out of there.
But you can go for a seven, 10-day program, and basically everyone beats the crap out of each other.
So I've been training four or five days a week for seven years.
Yes, sir.
And so everybody else in the dojo, when I do have time to train with other people, because we're like a family, and by the way, very respectful.
We bow in.
You know, if we're doing weapon work, we put our weapons down.
We show honor to the arts.
Yes, the way I say it's a modern approach, traditional values.
Okay.
But like when I'm doing my thing with you-know-who, especially, like, I'll have gear on, and everyone's told, listen, you can't hit him in the head.
You can't hit him in the face because he's got to go to work tomorrow.
I think everybody would respect you a little bit more with a black guy.
No, because we hit hard.
I mean, we don't hurt.
I mean, we're not going to break bones.
We tap out.
If somebody gets us in a hole, we're very quick, very respectful.
Nobody wants to get hurt.
We respect each other not to hurt each other.
Yes.
But we want to win when we're grappling, when we go full contact.
We want to push each other real hard.
We want to train.
You fight the way you train, train, you fight.
But you've got to admit, I take a lot of crap because I work on TV and I can't go to work with a busted face every day.
You could.
That's called makeup.
Anyway, I'm glad you could come.
And I know that some guys are mad because they're missing their training because of me.
But anyway, thanks to all our friends in our dojo.
It's, by the way, North Shore Martial Arts is where you're that's your dojo.
Yes.
All right.
Now, let me play Michael Bloomberg.
And again, this is all the stuff that I'm telling you.
You know, imagine if this was Donald J. Trump, you know, out there saying, well, just zero.
Hey, Sean.
Yeah.
I just need to interrupt for one second.
I just want you to know that we're family, been with you a long time.
What?
And if you ever need me to punch you for free or kick you to make you feel strong, I am here for me.
I'm here for you, my friend.
I just want you to know that.
I don't want to waste much more time.
This is a show of love.
So when we go on the road, what do we do at night?
I always invite all the tech people, all the camera people, all the behind-the-scenes.
Oh, you turn into a bartender.
No, we call them the Hannity dinners.
They're like classic.
Absolutely.
Everybody loves it.
Right.
And you didn't show up last night with Blair didn't show up either.
And, you know, it really pissed me off, but I'm not going to talk about that.
Oh, well, we're at the Redheaded Stepchild Hotel about 30 minutes outside of your luxurious stay.
And where do I order my food here?
Because it's better than at my hotel.
Anyway, long story short.
Hold on, I'm not done crying yet.
Okay, I'm done now.
Go ahead.
Okay.
So last night, nobody believes that I train hard.
I think they think I'm full of.
Who doesn't believe you?
I believe you.
You're manoretic now.
So Lawrence Jones is there, and I said, you don't believe me.
I said, all right.
So I stood up and we did pain day.
I mean, and it is the hardest hit this guy can hit.
Well, I can see your arms today.
The right arm looks terrible.
So I said to Lawrence, I just did four shots each.
You take one, and I'll give you $100 for each shot.
He goes, no, man.
God bless him.
You know, Lawrence, big, built, strong guy?
Yeah.
Like, I'm not doing that.
He's a man of God.
Everybody's like shocked.
They all think I'm nuts now.
I do think you're crazy.
I have no idea how I got so passionate about this.
Well, listen, I just want you to know that I'm here for you.
And as we're on the road this year, election 2020, if you need a good slap, good kick, good punch in the gut on your girl.
All right?
All right.
Let's go.
So imagine Donald Trump Jr. says, oh, about all the murderers and, you know, well, they fit one M.O.
Well, you can just take the description.
This is what he says about minorities.
You Xerox it and you pass it out to all cops because they, again, they are males and minorities 16 to 25.
And that's virtually true in every city in America.
Now, that's a pretty broad, sweeping generalization.
And then he goes on to, you know, justify that, well, we put 100% of the cops, all of the cops, in minority neighborhoods.
And he even says is that, oh, yeah, by the way, people say, oh, my God, Mr. Mayor, you're arresting kids for marijuana and they're all minorities.
And he goes, yeah, that's true.
They're all minorities.
Well, it's not true because I see them in New York.
You can't escape the stench, the skunk stench of that crap that these kids smoke.
It's so disgusting.
Anyway, yeah, oh, yeah, we're only minorities.
And then he said, because we put all, not some, all the cops in minority neighborhoods.
That's where all the crime is.
Not all of it.
I'm like, oh, my gosh, Donald Trump had said all of this.
And it even gets worse.
And I'm sitting there thinking, well, if Donald Trump said this, you know, and then he talks about throwing minority kids when you're doing it up against the wall.
I'm like, wow.
Xerox it.
Same description.
I'm stunned.
And that is now the guy that's supposed to be the backup candidate for the failing quid pro quo Joe.
Listen.
We have the whole tape.
Listen, you got to listen closely.
We'll show it on TV tonight.
95% of your murders and murderers and murder victims sit in one MO.
You can just take the description of zero access and pass it out to all the cops.
They are male minorities sit in one of them.
That's true in New York.
It's true in virtually every city.
And that's where the real time is you've got to get the guns out of the hands of a people to get killed.
She's going to be wanting to spend the money, a lot of cops in the street, put those cops way of crime in which we're seeing a minority neighborhood.
So it's the one intended consequences is people say, oh, my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana.
They're all minorities.
Yes, that's true.
Why?
Because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhood.
Yes, that's true.
Why we do it?
Because that's where all the time is.
And the way you get the guns on your kids' hands is to throw them against the wall at Christmas.
And then they start to say, oh, I don't want that.
I don't want to get caught, so they don't blame the gun.
They still have a gun, so they leave those at home.
Again, run that through the prism of, let's say that was Donald J. Trump saying it.
Now, the mob and the media, we've been purposely flipping around the channels today.
I don't really see the wall-to-wall coverage you might expect if Donald Trump had said it, because that's who they this is the media mob.
This is the two years, four years, every four years.
Republicans are racist, sexists.
Oh, elect a Republican and a black church's black crosses are going to burn.
And, you know, then the Al Gore goes into a predominantly African-American audience and he gets into his preacher cadence.
Republicans have the wrong agenda for African-Americans.
They don't even want to count you in the census.
I ain't feel no ways tired.
And Hillary Clinton, remember her?
The whole speaking approach changes.
But now, every two and four years, well, people ask for votes.
Well, decades of big city rule.
We have 13 high schools in predominantly minority neighborhoods in Baltimore with not one child can read and do math that is proficient in either one.
What did liberal Democrats do to fix it?
You know, I think I'm the only one on TV that has scrolled the names of every person that have been shot in Chicago year after year after year.
All during the Obama presidency, Democratic run, Democratic rule, many of the minorities.
That's our family.
That's our American family that is being slaughtered every day.
And we don't help them.
Democrats, why don't they fix that?
We can't fix it.
We don't fix it.
Why don't they fix it?
Now, okay, Republicans are, Donald Trump's so racist.
Oh, his policies have set record after record after record for minorities in America.
You know, where under Biden-Obama, those negatively and disproportionately impacted by the policies of Biden, Obama were minorities.
13 million more Americans, food stamps, 8 million more poverty, lowest labor participation rate in the 70s.
Fast forward, three years of Donald Trump, nearly 8 million new jobs, 8 million fewer people on food stamps, millions out of poverty.
And the biggest beneficiaries, well, record low unemployment, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, youth unemployment, African-American youth unemployment.
Wow.
And guess what?
The biggest beneficiaries in terms of real wage growth and financial gain are the bottom 50% of wage earners.
By the way, I got killed by the Trump tax cuts because now I can't deduct the ridiculously high New York state taxes I used to be able to deduct, which frankly was an unfair benefit to me and every other New Yorker because we elect stupid politicians that tax us people in Florida and Texas don't get that because they elect smart politicians.
It's unbelievable.
And of course, I mentioned Alice Marie Johnson and disparate sentencing.
Who fixed it?
Who got rid of it?
Who did criminal justice?
That would be Donald J. Trump.
Now he's have 10 polls the last few months.
You know, he's nearly up on average four times the support in the black community.
Why?
He's helping.
He's doing it.
He's getting the job done.
In spite of the platitudes and the bumper stickers and the cheap rhetoric and the cheap politics you hear every two and four years that's disgraceful.
Well, where are the Democrats?
What have they done except talk every two years and accuse others?
It's an old playbook.
They keep over the old playbook.
You know, what?
Joe Biden gets you can't work at a dunk, go into a dunganones or 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent.
What if Donald Trump said that?
Oh, man, you got Barack Obama.
He's clean.
You got the first and articulate.
First one.
First mainstream.
Who is articulate?
Articulate, right?
Clean.
And clean.
Nice looking guys.
Nice looking.
Storybook, as if that's not every day.
What the hell is that?
I'm tired of this game that they play.
You know what?
They're playing games with people's lives.
Our American family, we're not, we need to want everybody to be happy, prosperous, successful, with good schools, a nice neighborhood, a good home, a decent car, family, vacation.
Grief.
People are so phony.
That's what's at stake in 266 days.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Nayfak from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.
Lock her up.
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
95% of the murderers and murder victims.
This is one at a moment.
You can just take the description and Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops.
They are male, minority, 15, 21.
That's true in New York.
It's true in virtually every city in the area.
And that's where the real time you've got to get the guns out of the hands of which people are getting killed.
She's going to be wanting to spend the money for a lot of cops in the street.
Put those cops away on the crime in which we're in minority neighborhoods.
So it's going to uninfect unintended consequences is people say, oh my God, you are arresting kids from marijuana.
They're all minority.
Yes, that's true.
Why?
Because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhood.
Yes, that's true.
Why do we do it?
Because that's where all the crime is.
And the way you get the guns on your kids' hands is to throw them up against the wall and crisp them.
And then they start to say, oh, I don't want that.
I don't want to get caught.
So they don't blame the gun.
They still have a gun, so they leave it at home.
They just keep saying, oh, it's a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group.
That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murder.
In that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.
And our crime strategies and tools, including stop, question, frisk, have made New York City the safest big city in America.
The fact that stops match up with crime statistics and the fact that our police officers on patrol, the majority of whom are black, Hispanic, or members of other ethnic or racial minorities, make an average about less than one stop a week.
Victims and perpetrators of crime are disportionately young minority men.
That's just a fact.
You can look at the victims.
You can look at who we arrest.
You can ask witnesses and victims for descriptions.
It's a couple of one newspaper and one news service.
They just keep saying, oh, it's a disportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group.
That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murder.
In that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.
All right, as we start our two Sean Hannity show, 800-941, Sean is our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Two stunning developments as we continue broadcasting from New Hampshire, the primary ongoing even as we speak, and that is Joe Biden is gone out of the state.
He's done.
He's packed.
He's leaving.
Another expected dismal performance by him here, probably fourth, maybe even fifth, but all the votes.
Well, if they learn how to count votes in the Democratic Party, that would be a big start.
You hear now then-Mayor Bloomberg.
Now, you got to remember here, he made a big deal once he decided to get into this presidential race that, oh, and teary-eyed crocodile tears, and I was so wrong.
And he's mayor 12 years, and I would argue a caretaker mayor.
I mean, he basically did very little except annoy New Yorkers, telling us how big our drinks can be and whether or not they could be salt on the table in restaurants.
Short of that, he kept in place and defended in ways Rudy Giuliani never did, stop and frisk.
And when you hear that montage that we just played for you there, where he goes on and on, it's not disproportionate percentage of witnesses and victims described as committing the crime.
And I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.
And meanwhile, then he goes on to say that, yeah, we put every one of our cops in minority communities and is bragging about it.
Now, the White House has reacted to this.
Brad Paskell, the president head of his campaign, tweeting out, yeah, hashtag Bloomberg's a racist.
That's how big this has gone viral.
There was only 11% of stops last year were based on suspicion that the individuals committed any crime whatsoever.
And, you know, so you got Mayor Bloomberg defending this madness again and again.
Throw them up.
Throw those minorities up against the wall, as he said.
Yeah, we target minority kids.
Absolutely.
And cops must throw them up against the wall.
And then he goes on saying, yeah, I want 100% of our cops in minority neighborhoods.
100%.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, here to help break all of this down, what impact this is going to have on the race.
And what if Donald Trump had ever said this?
We have Geraldo Rivera, Fox News legal analyst with us, pastor Daryl Scott, chairman of the Urban Revitalization Coalition, Vince Ellison, conservative calmness, lecturer, author of the book, The Iron Triangle.
Guys, thank you both for being with us.
Let's start with you, Geraldo.
I'm pretty stunned when you hear it.
I'm like, it kind of takes my breath away.
And I guarantee you that this was leaked by the Democrats, not any Republican.
Well, you know, I see Bloomberg's past and his history differently than most people.
You know, I was on the air radio in New York during those years, and I thought, I mean, to my eye, New York City born and almost all of my years spent there, that Stop and Frisk worked to take guns off the street.
In fact, when I moved here to Cleveland to be Pastor Scott's neighbor, I was wistfully wishing that they had Stop and Frisk here in Cleveland where the murder rate is disproportional.
I'm disappointed.
Hang on, though.
What you're saying is very different in your description than what he's saying, the way he's saying it, and his description.
You know, you can hear the tone, the arrogance.
And I'll be honest, Geraldo, if any Republican ever said it, I don't think they'd survive as a candidate, would they?
He said it just the way he said it.
No, well, we know.
Wait a minute.
He really never was a Republican.
He did it to avoid a crowded Democratic field.
Let's be honest here, Geraldo.
That is true.
But you and I together, I remember, were in favor of all of the police activism to get the squeegee windshield wiper guys.
I'm not talking about it.
I'm not talking about that.
We're not talking about even stopping first.
We're talking about what he said and how he said it.
All right, let me go.
I'm.
I'm disappointed that he's so ashamed of his past that he's running away from it, but it's not going to work because, you know, the thing about tape is it's indelible.
You can't get rid of it.
He blessed his difference.
That's why you've got to pick a lane.
But for 17 years, now he only brings this up, Vince Ellison, he only brings it up now because 17 years later, oh, I want to run for president.
And, you know, both the Democratic and Republican Party are coalition parties.
And he's playing identity politics.
And he knows that, oh, it's unpopular with African-American voters.
So let me say that I'm so sorry that I really did all of this and believed this for 17 years.
Because I think when he said that, he was lying.
And I thought those were crocodile tears.
Well, look, this is the Rodney King tape of this election cycle.
I said for years that the Democrats always looked at looked at black people as being dangerous.
And they've always wanted to disarm them ever since the end of slavery.
The right to defend oneself and to keep them better in arms is an unalienable right.
That is a right that is irrevocable, non-transferable, given to you by God, cannot be taken away by man.
It's absolute.
And whenever you see a large group of black people come together and the Democrats get in power, the first thing they want to do is disarm black men because they're separate and they want to control them.
And if you want to stop the crime in these black areas, let the law-abiding people in those areas defend themselves.
The police won't do it.
You know, you have this, you have this Cleveland state of fame where the left says that the police are trying to kill black men, that white supremacy is on the rise.
We have a governor here in the state of Virginia that's in black face beside a classman.
They want to even say that Donald Trump is a racist, which I don't believe.
But their solution to this is to disarm all the black men in America so that these racists and these beliefs can beat the hell out of them and kill them and put them in jail.
See, that's crazy.
But that's their solution.
So what does Bloomberg do?
He says that we are going to disarm all the law-abiding citizens and let the criminals have guns.
But then when the people try, because the police won't protect them or can't protect them, when they decide to practice their unalienable right to defend themselves, they get pushed up against the wall, they get accosted, and they get taken to jail.
No one has a right to tell me how to defend myself.
I am a black man in America.
I am a freeman.
My right to defend myself is absolute.
I am free.
No one tells me how to defend myself.
The government, if it tries to do it, that's when we go into resistance mode.
And that's what they're doing in the state of Virginia right now.
Well, let me go to the bathroom.
Let me bring in Pastor Scott.
Because at one point he says, oh, oh, my God, you're arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.
Bloomberg says, yes, that's true.
He actually says, yeah, we're only going after minority kids for marijuana.
Then he goes further.
You know why he said?
Because we put all, not half, not 95, we put all the cops in minority neighborhoods.
And he said, because that's where the crime is.
Wow.
Imagine if Donald Trump said that.
Listen, first of all, Bloomberg is not a serious candidate anyway, but you can stick a fork in him now because he's done.
There's a script in the Bible that talks about your sin finding you out.
His sin has found him out.
Now, the thing about Bloomberg is this: he has the stereotypical racist mindset against blacks and browns.
That they are the source of the crime in the communities, that they are the dregs of society.
And the thing about Stop and Frisk is that, you know, I'm not anti-stop and frisk, like Coralo said, but stop and frisk has to be indiscriminate.
Stop and frisk does indeed save lives, but you cannot target certain races.
Excuse me, let me be very stopping frisk, the black and white white.
Hang on a second.
There are kids in every race committing crimes.
Now, if it's a neighborhood, disproportionate amount of violence or crime, you're certainly going to add more police resources.
That's not what he's saying here.
Oh, no, we only target minority kids.
And that he got, actually, you talk about a broad sweeping generalization.
That is where all the crime is.
Excuse me, that's total BS.
There are kids in any race and background that are troubled kids in troubled areas.
Usually, we're going to be honest here, it transcends race.
It has to do more with socioeconomics.
It has to do with poverty.
It has, you know, plenty of people from every race in poverty in America.
Pastor, you know what it's like.
I know what you've done.
You're in your church in Cleveland.
You've done a lot for the people of Cleveland, of all races.
You're helping anybody that's in need of help.
Yeah, but notice what he said also, Sean.
He said, throw them up against the wall.
You know, basically snatch these thugs out of their cars.
We don't know what these people, you know, just he's doing a broad brush sweep on all of them.
Just pull them out of the car and throw them up against the wall.
And, you know, that is the way he wants them to be handled.
And so once again, if Donald Trump said something like this, if a tape of Trump saying something like this surface, there would be national outrage.
CNN and dumb Don Lemonhead and all of the race daters and race hustlers would be having a field day with this, but they're being kind of outrage like that over Bloomberg.
Stay right there.
This is too important a discussion to have.
I think this is now, I think you're all right.
I think this is a game changer.
And I will tell you, now we have other factors involved, and that is Donald Trump.
He's the guy that has created one economic record after another for minority Americans.
He's the guy that got rid of disparate sentencing and criminal justice reform.
Wasn't any Democrat.
They promised it.
They never got it done.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.

I'm Leon Nayfak from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.
Lock her up.
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And as we continue, we're probably going to hold our guests.
We have Geraldo Rivera, Vince Ellison, and Pastor Daryl Scott with us.
Geraldo, you know, you're looking at this too.
Okay, we're only arresting kids that are minorities from marijuana, really?
And we're putting every cop only in minority neighborhoods.
You know, and I know in New York, there are kids from all backgrounds.
If you disagree, tell me.
It's usually socioeconomic related that are doing this stuff.
We got to go after every kid that is in trouble.
You go where the higher concentration of crime is, but you don't ignore everyone else and you just go after one race because that's what he's saying here.
Well, to me, with Bloomberg's biggest sin, Sean, is not that he used stop and frisk or a tactic that impacted one particular community more harshly than others.
The problem with Bloomberg is he's a hypocrite, that he endorsed these policies and took people like me with him.
Ray Kelly, his terrific police commissioner.
We watched crime drop in New York.
And then, however, when he wanted to run in an area where demographically that didn't play as well as it played in New York City, Geraldo, hang on.
Looking back on his history and changing his mind.
That's the thing that bugs me that he does that for the moment.
He said he said police stop white people too much and minorities too little, but he said he put all the cops in minority neighborhoods.
Now, if Donald Trump said that, Geraldo, game over, yes or no.
Well, I agree with Pastor Scott that President Trump has now taken a brilliant turn in a way that, with full disclosure, has embraced the African-American and Latino communities, riding the wave of this employment boom and the fact that minority unemployment is at historic lows.
Donald Trump is a great argument that resonates that he's the true civil rights leader, not Bloomberg, that Trump's way.
All right, let's get to that on the other side of the break.
We're going to hold you guys over because this is too important a discussion and we're expanding it out.
More with Geraldo, Vince, and Pastor Scott on the other side as we continue.
We're in New Hampshire.
It is primary day.
Full coverage on Hannity tonight at 9 from New Hampshire.

All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
We're in New Hampshire.
It is New Hampshire primary day.
Two big stories emerging.
One, Joe Biden apparently decided it's not going to go well here, and he's on his way out of the state.
Live free or die.
Well, we'll die and we'll go to South Carolina and try and pick up our political chips and fortunes there.
And the other is, you know, Mayor Bloomberg, by the way, nobody ever sees the guy.
He's just been spending millions and zillions and millions of dollars on ads.
And, you know, 17 years support stop and frisk.
That's not really even the issue here.
Now we've got these tapes that have emerged about him and it is shocking where he says, oh, you're arresting kids from marijuana.
They're all minorities only.
Really?
And he said, because we're only putting cops, we put all the cops in minority areas.
Why?
Because that's where all the crime is.
What, that's not a broad sweeping generalization?
I would argue that it probably is.
Let's listen to the montage of Mayor Bloomberg that we've been talking about all day, including, oh, yeah, cops must throw minority kids up against the wall.
And our crime strategies and tools, including stop, question, frisk, have made New York City the safest big city in America.
The fact that stops match up with crime statistics and the fact that our police officers on patrol, the majority of whom are black, Hispanic, or members of other ethnic or racial minorities, make an average about less than one stop a week.
Victims and perpetrators of crime are disportionately young minority men.
That's just a fact.
You can look at the victims.
You can look at who we arrest.
You can ask witnesses and victims for descriptions.
It's a couple of one newspaper and one news service.
They just keep saying, oh, it's a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group.
That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murder.
In that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.

So it's a couple of one newspaper and one news service.
They just keep saying, oh, it's a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group.
That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murder.
In that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.
All right, there's Michael Bloomberg again.
All right.
Now we continue with Geraldo Rivera, who is with us, who made a really good point as we were going to break.
Pastor Darrell Scott is with us, author of The Iron Triangle, Vince Ellison, is with us.
Vince, there is this issue, and I've been pointing it out, and others seem to be ignoring it, and that is these are no longer outlier polls, but you've got the president who only got 8% of the African-American vote in 2016.
The lowest poll that I've seen in the last two and a half months, three months, with the African-American community, 16%, all the way up to 34.5%.
And you have three polls in the 30s.
I mean, that's game-changing.
Then you've got Hispanic Americans, same thing.
Then we've got record low unemployment, African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, women in the workplace.
And then you've got Alice Marie Johnson, who we had on this program last week.
Not only was she released, but that then led to criminal justice reform that Democrats have talked about and never implemented when they had an opportunity.
And I'll add one other thing here, and then I'll shut up.
You look at every big city that has been run by liberal Democrats for decades.
Every two and four years, you hear from liberal politicians.
Republicans are racist.
They're sexist.
They're a xenophobic misogynist.
You know the list.
They say Republicans are racist.
Well, conservative policies are now helping African Americans like never before.
Disparate sentencing now is ending because of Donald J. Trump.
And the question is, will this now turn into perhaps a transition that I've been looking for?
Because I would never be friends with a racist, nor would any conservative I know be friends with them.
It is repugnant.
We're all children of God.
Every one of us.
God made every one of us.
And the idea that there are repugnant people out there that are racist that may say they're conservative, I want nothing to do with those people.
Anyway, is this going to translate into votes?
I guarantee it will.
I say in my book, Darren Triangle, that white conservative Christians have nothing more to apologize for.
Everything that's wrong in the black community can't be fixed in the black community.
And Donald Trump has transcended it.
He's talked over the press.
He says, I'm no longer going to have to ask to go into your pulpits.
I'm not going to ask to be in your newspapers.
He's got it on television.
He got on Twitter.
Every time he gives a speech, he tells what he's doing for the black community.
And black people are listening to him.
He's done something that's been completely different, and it's being appreciated.
I'm out here in the streets every day, and I'm talking to black people every day.
And no matter what CNN says or MSNBC or what they say, it is resonating.
People have jobs.
I saw this great poll on CNN the other day that said 90% of the people in America are satisfied with their lives right now.
That's amazing.
90% are satisfied.
Donald Trump is doing a great job.
I support him 100%.
This thing with Mike Bloomberg is just, as I said, it's Ronda King take.
This is what they do all the time.
This is how they feel.
Mike slipped up, and he allowed people to find out that this is how they feel.
They disarm the population.
They pump drugs down in their community.
They destroy the public education system.
They will not allow consumers to come down and help repair the system.
They take these people and they isolate them, and then they just basically treat them like brute beasts.
We have found a way, and technology has given us an opportunity to go around them and talk right to them.
And Donald Trump is going to be a game changer.
I mean, this is going to be something big, and I'm just glad to be a part of it.
Your take, Pastor Scott.
Well, the thing about this whole Bloomberg incident is the fact that what he expressed is the way a lot of the Democrats view blacks and minorities.
What did Hillary call us?
Super predators.
What did she say needed to be done?
She said we needed to be brought to heal.
He's not the only one that thinks like that.
Notice something on that tape.
Whoever he was speaking to, his audience, there were a lot in agreement.
I didn't hear any protests from the audience.
I didn't hear anyone say, hey, wait a minute.
You know, it was a Democrat crowd that he spoke in front of, and he was simply echoing the sentiments.
He was playing to his base by saying that.
The one thing that the black community does now is the black community realizes that the left-wing media has been playing us for a long time.
The left-wing media told us that old white men pose an existential threat to all of mankind.
But now all you see is old white candidates in the Democratic primaries.
All of the blacks that they held up to us to show their diversity have gone by the wayside.
So Bloomberg is simply saying what a lot of others on that Democratic side in that Democratic Party really think.
I'm not surprised.
And all it does is validate Donald Trump even more and causing people to realize that, listen, they've been playing us.
They've been trying to feed us a line about this guy.
He's not the way that they say he is.
In fact, they're the way that they're saying he is.
So I agree with my brother.
It's going to be a great time for us.
And President Trump will benefit through these revelations from Bloomberg.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back from New Hampshire.
It is primary day.
All right, as we continue with Geraldo Rivera and Vince Ellison and Pastor Darrell Scott, Bloomberg's comments, continuing our broadcast this primary day from New Hampshire.
You know, let me go to you, Geraldo, because at the end of the day, you look at, I know where you now live.
You live near Pastor Scott.
You lived in New York City.
No, no, no.
Seriously, every two and four years, Geraldo, you and I have been in this game a long time.
You're a little longer than me, by the way.
I'm a little younger than you.
But no, in all seriousness.
That's probably true, actually.
You have kids older than me?
You might.
I don't know.
Here's the deal: every two and four years, Republicans are racist.
Every, you know, if elect Republicans, the Democratic Party ad 98 in Missouri, black crosses are going to burn.
Republicans don't even want to count you in the census, Al Gore once said.
We know that the, remember the James Byrd ad?
It's like my father was killed all over again, yet Bush supported the death penalty when that vicious, evil murder took place, but he didn't support hate crimes legislation.
When you don't vote, you let another church explode.
When you don't vote, you allow another cross to burn.
When you don't vote, you let another assault wound a brother or sister.
When you don't vote, you let the Republicans continue to cut school lunches and hit start.
I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice looking guy.
He said in the first hundred days, he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules.
Unchain Wall Street.
They're going to put you all back in chains.
Don't tell me we live in a colorblind society.
The Republicans know that theirs is the wrong agenda for African Americans.
That's why they don't even want to count you in the census.
They're doing everything they can to stop black people, Latinos, poor people, young people, people with disabilities from voting.
It's a blast from the Jim Crow past.
I thought we had won that battle back in the 1960s.
They, not you, have an ally in the White House.
This time, they have an ally.
They're a small percentage of the American people, virulent people.
Some of them the dregs of society.
On June 7, 1998, in Texas, my father was killed.
He was beaten, chained, and then drank Green Miles Tuesday, all because he was black.
So when Governor George W. Bush refused to support hate crimes legislation, it was like my father was killed all over again.
Call George W. Bush and tell him to support hate crimes legislation.
We won't be dragged away from our future.
This is a myth and a lie that has been perpetrated against conservatives for years, and I resent the hell out of it.
And I'm glad conservative policies work for all of our American family, as we can now see record after record demolished.
I see something very fundamental happening here.
Going back to what Ben said and what Pastor Scott said, the president in his state of the union, in his recognition of the Tuskegee Airmen and his promotion, and with his talk about the opportunity zones and with his talk about criminal justice reform, what Donald Trump is doing is fundamentally reshaping the old stereotypical lines that you mentioned, Sean, over Republicans are all racist.
What the president is doing by campaigning as a Democrat, in essence, is being a game changer in the sense that he's going to make Republicanism much more of an appealing alternative to African-American voters and Latino voters and reshape what has fundamentally been,
you know, the urban Democrats run by Democrats and the Democratic machine and all that stuff.
And the Democrats are good and Republicans are bad and they're slave owners and this crap and that crap.
I think that what we have to continue to applaud in the president's evolution is that this genius in recognizing this unserved, underserved community that has been taken for granted, as Ben says, and stereotyped, tell these people, this is the American dream.
You can make it.
You can live anywhere you want to.
You could be friends with them.
You can marry anyone you want to.
You can be president.
You can make millions of dollars.
This is the country of opportunity.
Pick yourself up by your bootstraps.
Don't be seduced by people who want you to be.
Oh, wait a minute.
AOC says that you can't pick yourself up by your bootstraps.
That doesn't exist in America in spite of how many millions of people are.
He's wrong.
And I'm an example of it if I were you.
I've got to let you all go here.
Great debate.
I appreciate you all being with us.
Geraldo, thank you.
Vince, thank you.
Pastor Scott, thank you.
And by the way, I want everyone to know that's listening to this hour, all three of our guests do so much to help those in minority communities.
It would take your breath away if you knew how great all three of these men are.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
This question came in from Nashville, Tennessee.
It says billionaire Michael Bloomberg has entered the race and just got the endorsement of a former Trump Navy Secretary.
Why do you think you are better positioned than Bloomberg to be Trump Senator Warren?
Look, I don't think anyone ought to be able to buy their way into a nomination or to be president of the United States.
I don't think any billionaire ought to be able to do it.
And I don't think people who suck up to billionaires in order to fund their campaigns ought to do it.
I heard everyone here talking about, as Democrats, we all want to overturn Citizens United because we want to end this unlimited spending.
Yeah, except everyone on this stage, except Amy and me, is either a billionaire or is receiving help from PACs that can do unlimited spending.
So if you really want to live where you say, then put your money where your mouth is and say no to the PACs.
Look, I think the way we build a democracy going forward is not billionaires reaching in their own pockets or people sucking up to billionaires.
The way we build it going forward is we have a grassroots movement funded from the grassroots up.
In terms of public, in terms of money and politics, all right?
Our campaign, and I am enormously proud of this, unlike some of the folks up here, I don't have 40 billionaires, Pete, contributing to my campaign coming from the pharmaceutical industry, coming from Wall Street and all the big money interests.
What we do have is we have now over 6 million contributions from 1.5 million people, averaging $18.50 a contribution.
That is unprecedented in the history of American politics.
If we want to change America, you're not going to do it by electing candidates who are going out to rich people's homes begging for money.
The way we're going to do it is build a mass movement of working people who are prepared to stand up, not take money from these billionaires, not take money from Wall Street, but stand up to the drug companies in Wall Street.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of this extravaganza.
You know, all the issue of money is we've been debating about Bloomberg, big in politics.
But the amazing thing about Bernie Sanders is, well, Bernie Sanders wants a maximum amount of money that people can earn.
He wants his 90% tax.
He's proposing spending that, well, even I'd say some kid in first and second grade can add up that it doesn't add up and it is something that could never materialize.
It is a guaranteed failure-broken promise.
You know, the trillions in the new Green Deal, Medicare for all.
Why people after Obamacare and that fiasco would ever trust anything any government person ever said is beyond me.
Now, we've talked at length about Peter Schweitzer in his new best-selling book and that is Profiles in Corruption, Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elite.
I still can't get over Quid Pro Quo Joe and zero experience Hunter.
I'm sure Peter, who joins us on our newsmaker line, agrees with me.
The fact that almost speaking in one voice, the media mob and Joe and Quidd and ProQuo Joe and zero experience Hunter.
Oh, no, no credible person ever thinks we did anything wrong.
We've identified the Gratuities Act, the Hobbes Act, the bribery statutes, and to me, they fit perfectly into exactly how those laws were written.
I do believe there will be oversight.
I do believe there'll be a proper investigation.
If not, we don't have equal justice or application of our laws.
Are you as stunned as I am that everybody in the Democratic establishment, everybody in the mob and the media, that they're giving this guy a pass, yet they were trying to find something with Ukraine and Donald Trump.
And I would argue there's a prima facie case against Hunter and Joe, and that the president, by mentioning it, was fulfilling his oath of office, which is to faithfully execute the laws of the land, number one.
And just like if John Bolton says, well, he said he wanted to withhold the funds, okay, even if he said it, he didn't do it.
And by the way, from my perspective, he could have.
But they focus on that and they ignore this.
It is breathtaking hypocrisy.
And then after we talk, Peter, I want you to answer that question.
Then I want to get into how Bernie Sanders is a class A hypocrite, too.
How are you?
I'm great, Sean.
Great to be on with you as always.
And I agree with you.
I mean, look, what you have with the Bidens that you never had with Donald Trump, you never had with any of these allegations against him.
With the Bidens, you have the transference of money.
You have foreign entities putting money in the pockets of the Biden family.
And as far as bribery laws are concerned or corruption laws are concerned, whether that money goes to Joe Biden directly or goes to his son is irrelevant.
And so the mystery to me is why this is a non-story when the sitting vice president, Joe Biden, is declaring and determining policy for Ukraine.
He gets that appointment by Barack Obama in March of 2014.
Within three weeks, his son is suddenly on the payroll of Ukrainians who are going to be receiving that federal aid from the United States.
It's shocking and stunning.
And, you know, it's funny, Sean, he's been asked about it a couple of times in kind of limited, hesitant ways.
And the stunning thing is he does not have a good answer.
He still does not have a good answer because there really isn't.
There isn't a good answer.
And then he gets so aggravated and annoyed and screams at everybody.
And look at the horrific treatment of this 21-year-old girl who asked a perfectly good question yesterday, but whatever.
We've not gotten into the dirty details of your research in your book about Bernie Sanders.
Now, we have learned recently that Bernie Sanders, Mr. Green New Deal himself, has outperformed every other Democratic presidential hopeful in terms of private jet use.
And yet he's going to lecture us on the environment and the need for a new Green Deal and eliminating oil and gas and taking over the entire energy sector of our economy.
Oh, and then we got Elizabeth Warren popping off her private jet, another hypocrite.
But more specifically, for a guy that is all about wealth confiscation, he's gotten pretty rich over the years.
And you chronicle that in your best-selling new book, don't you?
That's right, Sean.
He figured out one of the dirty secrets in Washington, D.C., which is you can make a lot of money acting as a media buyer for campaigns.
You know, so if you were running for the Senate, Sean, and I was your media buyer, and you said spend a million dollars on television ads, we would spend a million dollars.
But by industry standard, I would be entitled to a 15% fee out of that million dollars.
So I'd be entitled to $150,000.
And the great thing about this deal, Sean, is it would never be disclosed that I got the fee.
It wouldn't show up anywhere in FEC records.
Well, Bernie Sanders figured this out because what he did when he was in Congress and continued later on is he put his wife in charge of media buying.
She actually set up a company with her son and daughter.
It was registered to the Sanders home in Vermont, and they handled media buying for Bernie's campaign.
We believe they made at least $150,000, if not more, doing that.
But there's also evidence that Bernie leveraged his position to basically get other candidates to hire his wife.
So what we found is a couple of candidates that were running in Vermont, they were actually longtime Bernie friends, were not getting endorsed by Bernie.
One of them was running for governor, for example.
They weren't getting Bernie's endorsement, and this was a big mystery, and the press was talking about why is Bernie not endorsing this person.
Well, it turns out this candidate hires James Sanders to do their media buying, and within two weeks, Bernie suddenly endorses this candidate for governor of Vermont.
So it's a shakedown operation, and this has continued up to his presidential campaign.
It involves his nonprofit organizations.
It involves the Sanders Institute.
You know, it's a major money-making scheme.
He employs his kids.
His wife has this side gig going on, and it's been a way of them funneling money, in some cases, taxpayer money, to the Sanders family.
So politics has made the Sanders very wealthy.
Well, pretty amazing when you look at all the money.
So how many years in Washington and how much have they been able to accumulate wealth-wise?
And, you know, I always say liberals are always generous with other people's money.
Why don't they use their own money?
You know, they're going to lecture us on our SUVs and tell us we need to get rid of oil and gas.
The first time in 75 freaking years that we're energy independent on that exporter of energy, the Straits of Hormuz mean less to us than they ever have before, which is good for our safety and security.
And yet they would literally take over the oil and gas industry.
That's how corrupt they are.
But fly their private jet, of course.
Yeah, no, you're exactly right.
I mean, the energy revolution has just been remarkable for this country.
And when you look at Bernie Sanders' finances, there's several things that stand out.
Number one, for all of his talk of wanting to help the poor, he has a terrible record for actually giving to charities.
Basically, he gives less than 1% of his income to charities.
Second thing that stands out, Sean, is his investment portfolio.
He has an investment portfolio.
When James Sanders ran Burlington College, he ran it into the ground.
They had a stock investment portfolio there.
In both cases, they were not invested in socially conscious corporations.
They were invested in blue chip stocks with Fortune 500 companies.
That's what Bernie invests in.
So for all of his attacks on corporate America and how evil corporate profits are, that's where he's investing his dollars.
And then the third thing that turns out that's interesting that turns out is that, you know, they have these homes.
We know that they own three homes already.
One of them is a vacation home.
They actually put the vacation home into a tax shelter that's going to help them paying taxes if they want to change ownership in that asset.
So, you know, there is rank hypocrisy from Bernie Sanders on all levels as it relates to what he's telling the country he believes, but what he thinks actually applies to himself and to his family.
All right, Peter Schweitzer, great work.
Best-selling book, Profiles in Corruption.
It's up on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, Bookstores Everywhere.
Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elite.
Amazing, stunning, breathtaking hypocrisy.
Every level.
Pittsburgh PA, Susanna.
Susanna, welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
And in 266 days, we'll be watching your state of Pennsylvania very closely.
How are you?
And we'll be pounding the boots heavily in Pennsylvania, Sean.
I'm fine.
Thanks for taking my call.
But I have to tell you, I'm one of the millions who prayed for President Trump's acquittal.
And, you know, we waited for him to announce it at the White House with expectations of joy and exuberance.
My heart was like, oh, yes, let's celebrate.
And as soon as I heard him speak, I was stunningly saddened because I felt his pain.
It was palpable what these evil Democrats did to him and his family, and not just to them, but to we, the electorate, by taking no evidence, no valid witnesses, and running his name through their muck.
This was painful for him, and we're not going to forget it.
So I really want every president of the city.
Well, I think what the president is, I think it's been painful for him because it's hurting his family so much.
He's pretty tough.
Listen, he dishes it out.
He can take it.
He's a tough guy, but I think other people would fold like cheap suits, honestly.
Well, we're going to say this, Sean.
Never, sorry about that.
Never again, Democrat Congress, will you do this to our president or to us or his family?
Never again, Democrat Senate and Nick Romney.
Will you do this to our president and to us?
We're awake.
We will burn your phone lines down with calls every time you try to do something like this.
They said they're going to continue to impeach him.
We dare you.
Because we need to be on this.
There's one way to stop this.
And I'll say this.
And Susanna, thank you for a great call.
We love our friends in Pittsburgh.
I got to tell you something.
There's one way to end it.
The way to end it is if you're going to vote for the president and you want him to do even more to solve problems and serve the country, elect Republicans in the Senate and the House.
That's it.
Then it ends.
It'll all end right then and there.
All right, as we continue the Sean Hannity Show, we are in New Hampshire primary day tonight.
Full coverage, Hannity, 9 Eastern.
Back to our phones.
We'll be watching Arizona closely.
I hope Martha McSally gets re-elected out there.
We need that Senate seat.
That's going to be a tough race.
Eric, Arizona, how are you?
Welcome to New Hampshire and the Sean Hannity Show.
Yes.
Hello, Mr. Hannity.
It's a pleasure, sir.
It is definitely an honor.
I feel that you are definitely the hand over the heartbeat of this nation, and what you say means a lot to millions and millions of great Americans.
You know, you had said something earlier about the vote Republican.
By the way, that means a lot to me.
I'm just trying to do my part.
We all are needed in 266 days.
This is all hands on deck as far as I'm concerned.
Well, I feel in 266 days when President Trump wins the election.
You know, we're going to have another four years of just greatness.
His work record shows that already.
But I really want to know what's next.
I mean, I started thinking about this a couple weeks ago when you had Vice President Pence on with you, that we got to get off this roller coaster where we go Republican Democrat, Republican Democrat.
I mean, when Mr. Pence comes to you and says, let's keep this train rolling and he wants you to be his running mate, what's your answer?
Wants me, Sean Hannity, to be Mike Pence's running mate?
I think Mike Pence has better options.
We've seen what happens with the Tower of Celebrity with Donald Trump winning.
You must really hate my guts if you want me to do that because that would destroy my life.
But I got to, you're very kind to say it.
Please, there's got to be a million better people.
I'm hoping for them, but you're very kind.
Look at it this way.
We're all spokes in a wheel, all hands on deck.
We need this win badly, and we need the House and Senate too.
All right, we got to take a break.
Hannity tonight, all the results.
New Hampshire, 9 Eastern.
We've got a great show for you.
When we come back, Steve Scalise and we'll continue from New Hampshire.
It's the Sean Hannity Show.
So how do you explain the performance in Iowa and why should the voters believe that you can win the national election?
It's a good question.
Number one, I was a Democratic caucus.
You ever been to a caucus?
No, you haven't.
You're a lion dog-faced pony soldier.
You said you were, but now you got to be honest.
I'm going to be honest with you.
It was a little bit confusing in Iowa.
Frankly, when he speaks, a lot of what he's saying seems to be really pathos-based and very sad.
We have heard a lot about deaths and cancer and people losing their jobs.
And to me, he doesn't really seem very solution-oriented in how we fix those problems.
I don't think he has the momentum to carry this to a national election.
All right, as we continue 24 now till the top of the hour, 80941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program from New Hampshire, today's big primary, we'll have full coverage tonight at 9 on the Fox News channel.
I'm not sure when you call people fat and push a guy a little bit or put your hand on him and tell him to go vote for somebody else and then say, Joe, 3-0-3-3-0, and it means absolutely nothing.
And to say, I was a Democratic caucus and then insult the 21-year-old girl who's asking a significant, real, and serious question, and you want to be the president, that humiliating the girl is a particularly good strategy.
But anyway, there's Quid Pro Quo Joe bailing out of New Hampshire, canceling any event, knowing he's going to get his, you know, what kicked.
We showed up at that Biden rally yesterday.
The thing that really stood out to me is they had a bunch of young kids getting off a bus.
I'm like, oh, you got to bus in the measly little crowd that you do have.
Anyway, I had a fun time, walked around a lot, talked to a lot of people.
And I think some people expected me to grow horns, and they were surprised I am a real human being and actually pleasant and nice and not even a bad guy at the end of the day.
But anyway, we continue from New Hampshire.
Joining us now is our good friend Congressman Steve Scalise.
He is the Republican whip, also Congressman of Louisiana's first district.
Congressman, good to talk to you again.
How are you?
I mean, all right, let me say it in as nice a way as a talk show host possibly can.
If he ever had a fastball, meaning quid pro quo Joe, if he ever had one, he doesn't even have a softball any longer.
He seems disoriented.
He just says these nutty things that come out of nowhere.
And frankly, there's a certain edge and meanness to this guy that keeps coming out when he's asking people for votes.
That young woman asked a really good question.
He could have given her a good answer.
He didn't.
What's your reaction?
Wow.
Well, first, Sean, great to be back with you.
If he had a fastball, I would definitely take it out of the park.
But he's out there literally throwing fastballs at his supporters.
I mean, listening to that, it's getting worse and worse for him.
I mean, you know, his poor performance in Iowa, does anybody think if he was going to win Iowa, they would have known the results immediately?
But to come in forth and then they go to New Hampshire, and I'm here in Milford, New Hampshire.
I know you're out in here in New Hampshire, too.
There's a lot of enthusiasm on the ground on both sides, but you don't see any for Joe Biden.
I mean, even on the Democrat side, you know, I've been visiting with some of the Tulsi Gabbard folks because I served with Tulsi.
But, you know, you saw the rally last night for Trump.
Tremendous support for President Trump here.
But on their side, I mean, Joe Biden is almost a non-existent factor out here.
And so he's insulting.
He looks like he really doesn't want to be there.
And frankly, I don't think he survives to South Carolina in this race.
I think he drops out before then.
But it's a shame to see what's happening.
And, you know, I think the Quid Pro quo thing is real.
People know that it happened.
He bragged about it, but there's still a lot of reckoning going on with that, too.
So it's more than real.
Here's what's really scary in the country we live in.
You have the entire media mob establishment, which is basically 99% of all media, with the exception of a few of us in talk radio and a few of us on Fox.
That's pretty much it.
And then the rest of them will tell you, oh, no, no, that's been completely looked into.
And no serious person thinks there's anything wrong when I'm leveraging a billion dollars and demanding in six hours the firing of a prosecutor that we know is investigating his son who went on Good Morning America and admitted he had no experience in oil, gas, energy, or Ukraine and is getting paid millions.
I can't, for the life of me, to get lectured by one more person, Congressman, that there's nothing there.
And yet the same people saw something wrong in a call with the president and President Zelensky when aid was never mentioned and he got everything he wanted or the four facts never changed.
It drives me nuts, the level of hypocrisy.
It's breathtaking.
No, it truly is.
And, you know, look, everywhere I go, first of all, the enthusiasm for President Trump has never been higher.
And here in New Hampshire, he almost won New Hampshire four years ago, came close.
I think he's going to win New Hampshire.
When you see, again, the enthusiasm, a lot of young people that are out of that rally last night, you had over 50,000 people that wanted to go to the rally.
Only 11,500 were able to get in.
It was a packed house.
You could take every Democrat candidate for president's rally combined, and it doesn't equal that.
And so it's real.
You see the left, the way that they, the hatred that you see for the president, Pelosi, which she did ripping up that paper with the names of war heroes, the names of victims of Sanctuary City violence.
I think it resonates with people when they see that, the personal vendetta that the impeachment was.
I mean, a witch hunt where they were looking for a crime that never happened and they impeached him anyway, even though Joe Biden's the one who did commit the crime and admitted what he did.
And, you know, they just keep going at it.
Zelensky and Trump were the only two participants on the call.
Both of them said it was a fine call.
Zelensky got the aid.
He got the javelin missiles, by the way, that Obama and Biden wouldn't give them to stand up to Russia.
Trump is the one who let him stand up to Russia by selling him javelin missiles.
So, you know, the media doesn't want to get that out, but people get that.
Everywhere I go, people are seeing this and they're saying, why isn't Pelosi working on things to lower drug prices or to secure the border instead of all this personal attack stuff?
And so I think it's got a cost that Democrats are paying and they will pay in November.
Let me go to, I guess, the person that's supposed to fill Biden's shoes, or at least in the minds of other people.
I mean, I've never seen a candidate buy his way into a race and nobody ever sees him and nobody ever talks to him.
And that's Mayor Bloomberg.
And so for 12 years, Bloomberg is like a caretaker mayor guy that all he did was pretty much what Rudy Giuliani did before him.
Okay.
For 12 years as mayor, 12, he defends stop and frisk.
He defends it another five years after the fact, after Comrade de Blasio was elected.
And then all of a sudden he decides, I think I'm going to run for president.
So he goes out there and he tries to cry and say, I was so wrong on my policies.
Well, that's blowing up in his face because of new audio and some video that is coming out where he literally says that I think we disproportionately stop whites way too much and minorities too little and some other comments.
Let me play them for you and ask you how you think this is going to play out.
But I ask you to listen to this through the prism of what if Donald Trump said it.
Listen.
They just keep saying, oh, it's a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group.
That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murder.
In that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.
95% of their burgers and murderers and murder victims.
You can just take the description and zero access and pass it out to all the top.
They are male minorities that fuck it up.
That's true in the earth.
It's true in virtually every city.
And that's where the real time is.
You've got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that get killed.
If you want to send the money to a lot of cops in the street, put those cops away on the crime and get in minority neighborhoods.
So it's the money.
Unintended consequences is people say, oh, my God, you are arresting kids from marijuana.
They're all minority.
Yes, that's true.
Why?
Because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods.
Yes, that's true.
Why do we do it?
Because that's where all the crime is.
And the way you get the guns on your kids' hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them.
And then they start to say, oh, I don't want that.
I don't want to get caught.
So they don't bring the gun.
They still have a gun, so they leave it at home.
And our crime strategies and tools, including stop, question, frisk, have made New York City the safest big city in America.
The fact that stops match up with crime statistics and the fact that our police officers on patrol, the majority of whom are black, Hispanic, or members of other ethnic or racial minorities, make an average about less than one stop a week.
Victims and perpetrators of crime are disproportionately young minority men.
That's just a fact.
You can look at the victims.
You can look at who we arrest.
You can ask witnesses and victims for descriptions.
It's a couple of one newspaper and one news service.
They just keep saying, oh, it's a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group.
That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murder.
In that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.
Then he talks about literally throwing minority kids up against the wall and that that was his philosophy as mayor of New York.
Your reaction.
Yeah, Sean, it's a day of reckoning from Michael Bloomberg.
And, you know, he was able to skirt by for a long time because he had a lot of money and he was at 3%.
And so nobody wanted to touch him on the Democrat side because they didn't think he was going to catch on and they wanted his money.
Well, all of a sudden, he's in double digits.
He's surging a little bit now.
So he's getting real scrutiny.
And look, he was governing as a Republican mayor of New York and now he wants to masquerade as if he's, you know, he's now morphing into a socialist.
And so which one is it?
And how are you going to answer for the things that you did as mayor?
But imagine this.
If you're an African American and you hear Bloomberg actually saying, yeah, we're going to throw minority kids up against the wall because 95% of murderers are African Americans.
And then he goes on, it goes even further.
He goes, why do we do it?
He's on tape saying this because he goes, the way you get the guns out of the kids' hands, you throw them up against the wall and you frisk them.
And then they start, oh, I don't want to get caught.
So they don't bring a gun and they still don't have a gun and leave it home.
And then he goes, yeah, of course we're arresting more minority kids from marijuana.
We're sending, and then he goes, then he says this, we're sending all of our cops into minority communities, all of them, nowhere else, just minority communities.
Wow.
I am like, are you kidding me?
There's the outrage.
And look, you know, and you said this, if a Republican, if Donald Trump would have done that or said that, they'd be going nuts.
They always go nuts no matter what he says anyway.
But I think he's going to have to answer for this.
I think Michael Bloomberg is finally getting the scrutiny that he deserves.
He was avoiding it.
He was hiding.
Look, I was at middle school in Bedford about two hours ago, and I had a military veteran at one of the primary locations, the voting locations.
And he said, look, Michael Bloomberg wants to avoid New Hampshire, avoid Iowa.
He thinks he could just hide from people and spend billions of dollars in New York.
He said, that's not going to work.
And there's an authenticity that goes with coming into these primaries and caucus states and meeting with real people and being scrutinized.
And so he avoided that scrutiny for a long time, but it's catching up with him now.
Let me ask you this because I want to move on to another issue here, and that is, all right, so we see what's happening with the Trump organization.
We see, again, just like in Iowa, uncontested really for Republicans, but what do we see?
We see Trump supporters everywhere.
And apparently a big turnout for them today in New Hampshire.
What is your take on that?
Same as Iowa.
Is that enthusiasm indicative of the passion that people have about this election?
Yeah, Sean, the enthusiasm is unreal.
I mean, you know, we were at the rally last night and a few of us with the campaign were talking.
And just imagine, like, name another Republican or Democrat that can have that kind of crowd.
And again, it wasn't just the 11,500 people in that arena over in southern New Hampshire, but it was the 40,000 other people who wanted to get in, who couldn't.
And it's genuine enthusiasm because of what this president's done.
It's all about results.
You know, he promised things in 2016, and he's delivered on those things.
The economy's better.
He's building over 100 miles of new wall this year.
We're actually securing the border.
We're seeing a decrease in the illegal crossings now because this president's standing up for America.
He's killing terrorists.
And Democrats in Congress are criticizing him when he's killing terrorists.
I mean, Mayor Pete the other day said there's not a compelling case to take out Solomani.
My God, I mean, the guy killed over 600 men and women in uniform and was in Iraq plotting to kill more Americans when President Trump gave the order to take him out.
He was a terrorist leader.
He's dead now because of the strong leadership of President Trump.
People see that, and it fires them up that not only do they see this president following through, but then they see the left, the viciousness, going after him, going after his family.
You saw it last week.
No, it's been brutal, but after the indictment.
Acquittal for life.
I got to let you go, but I got to tell you something.
If this keeps up, it's going to be amazing.
I'm up on a heartbreak.
