Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.

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.
When 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.
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 quote Joe ain't gonna 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 of millions and millions of millions of millions of millions of dollars that he nobody ever sees in what is an ad campaign, the backup hope when Quid Pro quote Joe likely fails.
Uh-oh, his campaign may have died today.
And I'll explain in all its ugly details.
Uh, 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 he's a socialist through and through.
That's not gonna happen.
Uh 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 FIS 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 some peanut emails, bleach bit, hammers, a dirty Russian dossier, uh 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 uh 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 is civil liberties and constitutional rights.
Uh, interesting side note is the DOJ is overruling Mueller's 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.
Well, listen, I've known Roger Stone for years.
Roger Stone is he's just a crazy character.
He really is.
I mean, I he he likes to be important.
Let's be honest.
But he's not dumb.
I mean, uh, how many put it this way?
How many people are gonna get a tattoo of Richard Nixon?
You gotta be a little crazy to do that.
But they've gone after this guy, just like they, you know, they want to throw Michael Flynn in jail.
But Comey's been recommended, you know, and referred for investigation and criminal prosecution.
McCabe has uh struck in Page and the whole rest of the deep state mob.
And when we get to it, let's find out what Clapper Brennan, uh, Susan Rice, oh, and Barack Hussein Obama knew and when they knew it.
We're never giving up that story.
We're gonna get there.
Um, so all of that is out in the news today, but but again, it's primary day.
If we had to guess, it's gonna come down to Bernie Sanders and Pete Budejudge, and 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 groupthink 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 quo 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.
Uh what you know, the thing that he said yesterday about I can't even 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.
He's a caucus.
No, you haven't.
You're a lime dog faced pony soldier.
You said you were, but you're now you gotta be honest.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
I was a Democratic caucus.
I mean, not so.
Uh I did get into the Biden event last night.
Woo, you guys missed the fun.
Uh so sensei's with me.
So uh I got the you know, the TV team.
Fox hired like 16 people because they thought I was, you know, it was World War III would break out.
You know, 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, eight 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.
Um, and then I I brought up, oh, would you give uh the mullet in around 150 billion?
I hate Donald Trump.
That's the only answer you can get.
One lady goes to me, you 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 I've ever said that's not true.
I know it's true, but I I but you there's so many I can't, but I don't even want 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.
Uh, 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 so 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.
Uh 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 just breathe clean air into my lungs and my 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.
Uh 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, uh, and then they'll say that, oh, and they want uh 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 gotta remember, he's mayor of New York I I'll be honest, I know nothing about the guy, because he's 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 gonna 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 is 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 gonna play it all for you in the course of today's show.
It's pretty bad.
You know, like for example, when he says, uh, police stop white people too much and minorities too little.
He actually said that.
He said that, yeah, police, we're 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 he says in one point in this, so uh, 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, what you know, 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 I 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 a big city mayors done over the years to help build up, you know, and and stop crime and create opportunity zones.
Oh, you mean like Donald Trump is doing.
He's the guy doing that.
Uh or create uh, let's see, record low unemployment.
Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, women in the youth, 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 uh 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 uh 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 smart.
But he is saying it's only one community.
He's all the police resources.
Only kids gonna 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, said, Oh, they 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 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 gonna 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.
Uh 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.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.

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 Mayfock from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco.
Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yeah, that's right.
Locker 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.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
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 uh 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.
Frogman 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 gonna 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.
I you know, I don't know what Roger did or didn't do.
I didn't see anything wrong with it.
You know, that 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 D the DOJ prosecutor, Zelinski, resigned after withdrawing from the Roger Stone case.
I mean, I these people are not going to be happy unless old people die in jail.
So 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.
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.

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.
Is that what you say?
Basically.
I mean, they were 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's come on, sensei, be there.
Uh because no, he was there.
And so this is Sensei Glenn, and I keep telling you my passion for martial arts and mixed uh martial arts.
We do Krab Magog, Kenpo, Jiu Jitsu, uh boxing, sticks, blade, firearm training, all the do we 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.
Uh 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 uh you charmed them all.
You're polite, you're nice, you say we can uh agree to disagree.
But there was the one guy.
He he met the guy that turned his back.
He turned his back on.
You could see, he was like seething hatred.
I mean, it was the the sight of me, it was like Alka Seltzer in water.
It just was he was bubbling and fizzing before our eyes.
Meanwhile, I'm like, I'm like tapping his thing and I'm like, look at this guy's out of his freaking mind.
We're laughing our we're laughing our you know what.
It was very funny.
Uh so sensei how long you've been training me now.
Uh about seven years.
All right.
Now, explain to people because they ask me all the time, because I always say it's a it's a eclectic blend of the arts.
Yes.
Um blade, you know, Krav Kempo, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Yes.
So the the the arts that that you train in is Filipino martial arts, which is Kali is screamer and Arnese.
We do some kickboxing, Kempo, submission grappling.
Um we put all that together to have one uh comprehensive system.
And we do blade firearms, uh stick training, uh boxing.
That's all in the Filipino arts, right?
And then we mix in some of the Israeli arts, which is the crowd.
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 uh Sean gets hit.
Hard.
Gets hit hard.
I had to show us next time we have Lawrence on Lawrence Jones, who we love.
I love Lawrence Jones.
Uh 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.
Yeah, I mean, you're so dense with your hits, and then he hits me how many, what, four times, four shots to the stomach.
Four shots to the stomach, four shots to the forearm.
He didn't do this five, because I you always drop me purposely on the fifth shot.
You bring me down.
Maybe.
No, you do.
I mean, not 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.
You don't I know you don't like to talk about it.
How many?
JC Penny.
Black belt.
Yeah, all right.
How many black belts do you have?
Seven.
Seven.
That's okay.
And how many multiple black.
We have multiple degrees uh of each belt.
So you worked at Wall Street for how many years?
So I was uh 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.
Uh I did uh I went and got my jurisdictor degree while I was in a family business.
Right.
And but I was always into training.
But this is your passion.
This is my passion.
And you want to you literally want to take a vacation.
And your vacation, you told me is you want to go to what Thailand?
Yes.
I love to go to a Thai camp and time.
And you go 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.
Uh well, it basically what you do is there, you do full contact smarring.
Uh with TIE 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 for four or five days a week with you 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 if we're doing weapon work, we we put our weapons down, we show honor to the 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, um, like I'll have gear on and and everyone's told you 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 that with the black guy.
No, because we hit hard.
I mean, this is we we don't hurt.
I mean, we we're not gonna break bones.
We tap out if you 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 when we're grappling when we're when we're when we go full contact.
We want to push each other real hard.
We won't we want to train you know you fight the way you train train when you fight.
But you gotta 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.
Well, anyway, um I'm glad you could come, and I know that some guys are mad because they're missing the training because of me, but uh anyway, thanks to all our friends in our dojo.
It's uh by the way, North Shore Martial Arts is where you're that's your dojo.
Yes.
Um 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, Wow, 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 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 how we this is this is a show of love and so when we go on the road, what do we do at night?
Uh I always invite all the tech people, all the camera people, all the behind the scenes people.
Hey, you turn into a bartender.
No, we we call them the Hannity dinners.
They're like classic.
They everybody loves it.
Right.
And you didn't show up last night with Blair didn't show up either, and you know, really pissed me off, but I'm not gonna talk about it.
Oh, well, we're at the redheaded stepchild uh hotel about 30 minutes outside of uh your luxurious stay.
And I 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'd like, I think they think I'm full of who doesn't believe you.
I believe you, you're manorexic 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.
You I mean, 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 a hundred dollars for each shot.
He goes, No, man.
No, I'm not doing it.
I'm not going to God bless us.
And he's and 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 you, as we're on the road this year, election 2020.
If you need a good slap, the kick, good punch in the gut on your girl.
All right.
All right.
Let's 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 uh a hundred percent 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 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 they're I see them in New York.
You can't 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 only minorities.
And then he said, then he said, because we put all, not some, all the cops in minority neighborhoods.
Uh that's where all the crime is.
Not all of it.
I'm like, oh my gosh, if 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 I I'm stunned.
And that is now the guy that's supposed to be the backup candidate for the failing quid pro quote Joe.
Listen, but we have the whole tape.
Listen, you gotta listen closely.
We'll show it on TV tonight.
Murder.
You can just take the description and Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops.
They are male, minority, 15, 25.
That's true in New York.
Yeah.
that's where the real time is you've got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that get killed you've done if you want to spend the money a lot of cops in the street put those cops in We have the crime minority neighborhoods.
So the consequences is people say, oh my gosh, you are arresting kids from marijuana.
They're all minority.
Yes.
That's true.
Why?
Because he brought the minority.
Yes, that's true.
Why we do it?
The best we're all in private.
And the way he has gone down his chance is uh wrong against the wall.
I don't want to get crossed and they don't have a gun, but they reboot it on.
Again, run that through the prism of uh, let's say that was Donald J. Trump saying it.
Now the mob in the media, we've been purposely like 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 uh black crosses are gonna burn.
And, you know, then the at the Al Gore goes into a predominantly African American audience and he gets into his uh uh preacher cadence.
Republicans are the wrong agenda for African Americans.
They don't even want to count you in the census.
Yeah, I ain't feel no ways tired and Hillary Clinton remember her.
I mean the the the whole the whole speaking approach changes.
But now, every two and four years, well, people ask for votes.
Well, decades of uh big city rule.
We have 13 high schools in a predominantly minority neighborhoods in Baltimore with not one child can read and do math that is uh 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, or 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?
I'm what we can't fix it, we don't fix it, we don't 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, eight million more poverty, lowest labor participation rate in the 70s.
Fast forward, three years of Donald Trump, nearly eight million new jobs, eight million fewer people on food stamps, millions out of poverty, and the biggest beneficiaries, well, record low unemployment, African Americans, uh 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 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, 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?
Who did criminal justice for that would be Donald J. Trump?
Now we have 10 polls the last few months.
You know, he's nearly up on average four times the support in the black community.
Why?
For the 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 dunganonis or um uh 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent.
What if Donald Trump said that?
Oh man, you got Barack Obama.
He's he's clean.
You got the first and articulate.
First one.
First mainstream.
Yeah, who is articulated, right?
Clean.
And clean.
Nice looking.
Storybook, as if that's not every day.
What the hell is that?
I'm tired of this this game that they play.
You know what?
They're playing games with people's lives.
Our American family, we're not we're 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 pony.
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.

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 Mayfock from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yeah, that's right.
Locker 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.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
...
and that's where the real time you've got to get the guns out of the hands of the people to get killed if you want to spend the money a lot of cops in the street put those cops in We have to climb minority neighborhoods.
So say, oh my God, you are arresting kids from marijuana.
Yes, that's true.
Why?
Because we brought the cost minority neighborhood.
Yes, that's true.
Why we do it?
That's what we're finding.
And the way he does the guns on with his hands is uh against the wall.
I don't want to get caught, so they don't get the gun.
They still have a gun, but they rebuild it.
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 work.
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 uh arrest, you can ask witnesses and victims for descriptions.
It's a couple of uh 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 uh start our two Sean Hannity show, 800 nine four one Sean is on 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 uh 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.
Um you hear now then Mayor Bloomberg.
Now you gotta 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 twelve years, and I would argue a caretaker mayor.
I mean, he basically did very little except annoyed New Yorkers uh telling us how big our drinks can be and whether or not they could be salt on the table uh in restaurants.
Short of that, he he kept in place and defended in ways Rudy Giuliani never did, uh, stop and frisk.
And when you hear that montage that we just played for you there, uh, where he goes on and on, it's it's not disproportionate percentage of witnesses and victims describing uh describe 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 should have we put every one of our cops in minority communities and is bragging about it.
Now the White House has reacted to this.
Uh Brad Pascal, uh the president's, you know, head of his campaign tweeting out, yeah, hashtag Bloomberg's a racist.
That's how big this has gone viral.
The 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 uh 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 I'm 100% of our cops in in minority neighborhoods.
100%.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, here to help break all of this down, what impact this is gonna have on the race, and what if Donald Trump had ever said this?
We have Geraldo Rivera, Fox News legal analyst with us, past the Darrell Scott, chairman of the Urban Revitalization Coalition, Vince Ellison, conservative calmness, lecturer, author of the book, The Iron Triangle.
Uh, guys, thank you both for being with us.
Uh Let's start with you, Geraldo.
Um I'm pretty st I'm pretty stunned when you hear it, I'm like, it it kind of takes my breath away.
And I guarantee you that this was leaked by the Democrats, not any Republican.
Well, you know, uh I see Bloomberg's past and his history differently than most people.
You know, I was on the uh air radio in New York uh during those years, and uh I thought, I mean, to my eye, New York City born and uh almost all uh my years spent there that stop and frisk worked to take uh guns off the street.
In fact, when I moved here to Cleveland to be Pastor Scott's neighbor, uh I was uh wistfully uh wishing that they had stop and frisk here in Cleveland where the murder rate is is disproportional.
I'm disappointed.
But no, what you're what you're what you're saying.
Well 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, Haraldo.
If any Republican ever said it, I don't think they'd survive as a candidate, would they?
Well, 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 a crowded democratic field.
Let's be honest here, Haraldo.
That is that is true, but you and I together, I remember, were in favor of all of the uh uh police activism to get the squeegee windshield wiper guys and uh uh you know.
I'm not talking about I'm not talking about we're not talking about even stopping we're talking about what he's doing.
We're talking about what he said and how he said it.
I'm disappointed that he's so ashamed of his past that he's running away from it, but it's not gonna work because you know the thing about tape is it's in it's indelible.
You can't get rid of it.
It's uh he's uh he blessed his parents.
Yes, that's why you kind of pick a lane.
But for 17 years, now he only brings this up uh uh Vince uh 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 this is Rodney King tape of this election cycle.
Um I said for years that the Democrats always looked at I looked at black people as being dangerous, and uh they've always wanted to disarm them ever since the end of slavery.
Uh the right to defend oneself and keeping better 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 and the Democrats get in power, the first thing they want to do is disarm black men because they're still and they want to control them.
And if you want to stop the crime in these black areas, left the law-abiding people in those areas defend themselves.
The police won't do it.
You know, you have this you have this uh uh this clean schedule where the left says that the police are trying to kill black men, that uh white supremacy is on the eyes.
We have a governor here in the state of Virginia that's in black priests decided to decide a classman, and one of you 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 police 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-bodied 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'm a black man in America.
I am a free move.
My my 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.
So it's not all of them.
Well, let me go to let me let me know.
Let me 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 says, because that's where the crime is.
Wow.
Imagine if Donald Trump said that.
Listen, first of all, Bloomberg was 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 community, that they are the dregs of society.
And the thing about Stop and Frisk is that, you know, I I'm not anti-Stop and Frisk.
Like Geraldo said.
But Stop McFrisk has to be indiscriminate.
Stop my frisk does indeed save lives, but you cannot target certain race.
Excuse me.
Let me be very stop and frisk the black and blunt here.
Hang on a second.
There are kids in every race committing crimes.
Now, if it's a neighborhood, disproportionate uh amount of violence or crime, you're certainly gonna add more police resources.
That's not what he's saying here.
Oh no, we only target uh we only target minority kids, and uh that he got actually uh you talk about a broad sweeping generalization.
That is where all the crime is.
Uh excuse me, that's total BS.
There are kids who in any ri race and background that are troubled kids in in troubled areas.
Usually we're gonna be honest here.
It transcends race and 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.
Uh, Pastor, you know what it's like.
I know what you've done.
You're you're in your church in in Cleveland, you've done a lot for the uh people of of Cleveland of all races.
You're helping anybody that's in need of help.
Yeah, but notice what he said.
Also, uh, Sean.
He said, throw them up against the wall.
You know, basically snaps these thoughts out of their cards.
We don't know what these people, you know, just uh he's he's he's doing a broad breast sweep on all of them, just pull them out of the car and throw them up against the wall.
And and you know, that was the way he wants them to be handled.
And so once again, if Donald Trump said something like this, if a tape of Trump thinks something like this surface, there would be national outrage.
CNN and and dumb Don Lemonhead and all of the race daters and race trade race hustlers would be having a field day with this, but they're uh being kind of they're not the outrage like that over over Bloomberg.
Stay stay right there.
Uh this is too important a discussion to have.
I think this is now I I think I think you're all right.
I think this is a game changer.
And uh I will tell you now we have other factors involved, and that is Donald Trump, he's the guy that has created one economic uh 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.

Locker 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, you're we're only arresting kids that are minorities for marijuana, really?
And we're putting every cop only in minority neighborhoods.
You know and I know in New York, uh, there are kids from all backgrounds.
If you disagree, tell me.
It's usually socioeconomic related that are that are doing this stuff.
We gotta go after every kid that is is 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, what Bloomberg's biggest sin, Sean, is not that he used stop and frisk or uh a tactic that impacted one particular community more harshly than others.
The problem with Bloomberg is he's a hypocrite.
Uh that he endorsed these policy that took people like me with him, uh, Ray Kelly, his terrific uh police commissioner.
We watched crime drop in New York, and then, however, when he wanted to run in an area where demographically uh 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 of his conviction.
He said police stop white people too much and minorities too little, but he said he put all the cops in in minority neighborhoods.
Now, if Donald Trump said that, Haraldo, game over, yes or no.
Well, I agree with Pastor Scott that President Trump has now taken a brilliant turn uh in a way that with full disclosure has embraced the African American and Latino communities, gliding the wave of this employment uh boom and uh the fact that uh minority unemployment is at historic lows.
Donald Trump is an 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 gonna 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.

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 uh chips and fortunes there.
Uh 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 said, Oh, you're yeah, you're arresting kids for marijuana.
They're all minorities only.
They're not a really?
And he says, 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 uh 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 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 disapportionately 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.

You can look at the victims, you can look at who we arrest, you can ask witnesses and victims for descriptions.
So it's a couple of, one newspaper and one news service, they just keep saying, "Oh, 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, there's Michael Bloomberg again.
All right.
Now we continue with Geraldo Rivera, uh, who is with us, uh, who made a really good point as we were going to break.
Uh, Pastor Daryl Scott is with us, uh, author of the Iron Triangle, Vince Ellison is with us.
Uh, Vince, uh, 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, is with the African American community, 16 uh percent, all the way up to 34 and a half percent.
And you have three polls in the 30s.
I mean, that that's game changing.
Then you've got Hispanic America, 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 added 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 sexists, they're xenophobic, misogynists.
You know the list.
They say it every Republicans are racists.
Uh 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 I 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.
Anyways, this is going to translate into votes.
I guarantee it will.
Um I say in my book down and triangle that white conservative Christians have nothing more to apologize for.
Uh everything that's wrong in the black community can be fixed in the black community.
And Donald Trump has transcended it.
He's talked over the press.
He's didn't, he says I'm no longer going to have to ask to go into your pulpits.
I'm not going to ask them in your newspapers.
He's got 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.
Uh he's done something that's been completely different and is 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, no matter 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 uh this Ronnie King case.
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 the community, they destroy the public education system.
They will not allow consumers to come down and help prepare the system.
They take these people and I and they isolate them, and then they just basically treat them like brute beasts.
Uh we have found a way of 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.
Uh, what did Hillary call us?
Super predators.
What did he say needed to be done?
She said we needed to be brought to heel.
He's not the only one that thinks like that.
Notice something on that tape.
Whoever he was speaking to his audience, they 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 posed an existential threat to all of mankind today.
But now all you see is old white candidates in the Democratic primaries.
All of the uh the the blacks that they held up to us to show their diversity have been have gone by the wayside.
So Bloomberg was simply saying what a lot of others on that democratic side and that democratic party really think.
I'm not surprised.
And all it does is validate uh 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 gonna be a great time for us.
And uh President Trump will benefit through these revelations uh from Bloomberg.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back from New Hampshire.
Uh, it is primary day.
All right, as we continue with Geraldo Rivera and Vince Ellison and Pastor Darrell Scott, Bloomberg's comments, uh, 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 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, Haraldo, you 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.
Uh but no, in all seriousness.
That's probably true, actually.
You have kids older than me?
You might.
I 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 had 98 in Missouri, uh uh black uh black crosses are gonna burn.
Uh Republicans don't even want to count you in the census, Al Gore once said.
Uh we know that uh the the remember the James Bird 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 American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice looking guy.
He said in the first hundred days, he's gonna let the big banks once again write their own rules.
Unchained Wall Street.
They're gonna 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.
There are 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 Mouths Tuesday, all because he was black.
So when Governor George W. Bush refused to support hate crimes legislation, it was like my father was cute 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 this is a myth and a lie that has been perpetrated uh 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 Vince 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 uh with this talk about the opportunity zone and with this talk about uh 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 uh, in essence, is being uh a game changer in the sense that he's going to make Republicanism much more of a uh of a of a an appealing alternative to African American voters and Latino voters and reshape what has fundamentally been,
you know, the urban Democrats uh 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.
Uh, 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 Vince says, and stereotype, tell these people this is the American dream.
You can make it, you can you know, live anywhere you want to.
You could be friends with them, or you can marry anyone you want to, you can be president, you can make uh millions of dollars.
You this is the country of opportunity.
You know, pick yourself up by your bootstraps.
Don't be uh seduced by people who want you to be able to do it.
Now 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.
And I'm an example of it if you were you.
I've got to let you all go here.
Um great debate.
I appreciate you all being with us.
Haraldo, 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 a better position than Bloomberg to be Trump Senator Warren?
Look, I don't think anyone ought to be able to buy their way uh 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 six million contributions from one and a half 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, as we've been debating about Bloomberg, uh 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's 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.
Uh, why people after Obamacare and that fiasco would ever trust anything any government person ever said uh 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.
Uh, 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 Quid and Pro Quo Joe and zero experience Hunter.
Oh no, no credible person ever thinks we did anything wrong.
We we've identified the gratuities act, the Hobbes Act, the bribery statutes, and to me, uh they fit perfectly into the 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.
Uh are you as stunned as I am that everybody in the Democratic establishment, everybody in the mob in the media, that they're giving this guy a pass.
Uh yet they were trying to find something with Ukraine and Donald Trump.
Uh, 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.
Uh, number one, and and just like if John Bolton says, well, uh he said he wanted to withhold the funds, okay.
Even if he said it, he didn't do it.
And he, by the way, from my perspective, he could have.
Um, but they focus on that and they ignore this.
It is breathtaking hypocrisy.
And then after we talk, uh, 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.
Uh, and I agree with you.
I mean, look, what 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 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 a 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 uh so aggravated and annoyed and screams at everybody.
And look, you know, look at the horrific treatment of this 21-year-old girl who asked a perfectly good question and you know, uh 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 uh 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.
Um he figured out one of the dirty secrets uh in Washington, D.C., which is you can make a lot of money acting as a media buyer for campaigns.
You know, so if 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 uh son and daughter.
Uh they it was registered to the Sanders home in Vermont, uh, and they handled media buying for Bernie's campaign.
Uh 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.
Uh one of them was running for governor, for example.
They weren't getting Bernie's endorsement, and this is a big mystery in the press was talking about why is Bernie not endorsing this person?
Well, it turns out this candidate hires Jane Sanders to do uh their media buying, and within two weeks, Bernie suddenly endorses this candidate for governor of Vermont.
So it's a shakedown operation, and this is continued up to his presidential campaign.
It involves his nonprofit organizations, it involves the Sanders Institute.
Um, you know, it 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 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 gonna lecture us on uh our SUVs and tell us we need to get rid of oil and gas.
The first time in 75 frickin' years that we're energy independent on that exporter of energy.
The Straits of Hormuz uh mean less to us than they ever have before, which is good for our safety and security.
And yet they would bring 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, it's you're exactly right.
I mean, the energy revolution has just been remarkable for this country.
And when you look at Bernie Sanders's finances, there's several things that stern uh that that stand out.
Number one, uh, for all of his talk of wanting to help the poor, he has a terrible record for actually giving to charities.
Basically gives less than one percent of his income to charities.
Second thing that stands out, Sean, is you know, his investment portfolio.
Uh 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 in invested in, you know, 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 that's interesting that turns out is that, you know, they have um these homes.
We know that they own three homes already.
One of them is a vacation home.
Uh, they actually put the vacation home into a tax shelter uh that's gonna help them uh paying taxes uh if they want to uh 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 Sweitzer, great work, best selling uh book, Profiles in Corruption.
It's up on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores everywhere.
Abuse of power by America's Progressive Elite.
Uh amazing, stunning, breathtaking hypocrisy.
Every level.
Pittsburgh PA, Susanna.
Uh 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 you know, uh valid witnesses and and running his name through their muck.
This was painful for him, and we're not gonna forget it.
So I really want everyone.
Well, I think what the president is uh I I think it's been painful for him because it's hurting his family so much.
He's pretty tough.
I've listened he's a 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 gonna 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 will be on that.
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 gotta tell you something.
There's one way to end it.
The way to end it is if you're gonna vote for the president and you want him to do even more to solve problems and serve the country, elect Republicans and are in the Senate and the House.
You got 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, nine Eastern.
Uh back to our phones.
Uh we'll be watching Arizona closely.
Uh I hope Martha Sally 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.
Uh, yes, hello, Mr. Hannity.
It's a pleasure, sir.
It is a definitely an honor.
I feel that uh you are definitely the hand over the heart at heartbeat of this nation and what you say means a lot to millions and millions of great Americans.
You know, you'd 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 wins the election.
You know, we're gonna have another four years of just greatness.
Uh his work record shows that already.
But uh I I really want to know what's next.
I mean, I started thinking about this a couple weeks ago when you had uh Vice President Pence on with you, that uh we gotta 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 to be Mike Pence's running.
I think Mike Pence has better options.
You know, Donald Trump winning.
But uh, you might you must you must really hate my guts if you want me to do that because that would destroy my life.
But uh I gotta you're very kind to say, please.
There's got to be a million better people.
I'm hoping for them, but you're you're 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, Nine Eastern, we 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.
No, you haven't.
You're a line dog face pony soldier.
You said you were, but you're now you gotta be honest.
I'm gonna 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 capos 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 I don't think he has the momentum to carry this to a national election.
All right, as we continue, uh 24 now till the top of the hour, 800 nine-four one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program uh from New Hampshire, today's big primary.
Well, a full coverage tonight at nine on uh the Fox News channel.
Uh I'm not sure when you call people fat and 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, 330, 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, uh, that humiliating the girl is a particularly good strategy.
But anyway, there's quid pro quo Joe bailing out of New Hampshire, canceling uh any event, knowing he's gonna get his you know what kicked.
Uh, 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 gotta bust in the 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 have grow horns and they were surprised I am a real human being and actually pleasant and nice and uh not even a bad guy in the yet at the end of the day.
Um, but uh anyway, we continue from New Hampshire.
Joining us now is uh our good friend Congressman Steve Scalise, he is the Republican whip, also Congressman of Louini Louisiana's first district.
Congressman, good to talk to you again.
How are you?
I mean, all right, let me say it is 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 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 out, I would definitely take it out of the park.
But uh he, I mean, he's out there literally throwing soft fastballs at his his supporters.
I mean, listening to that, it's getting worse and worse for him.
I mean, you know, his poor performance in Iowa, they uh does anybody think if he was gonna win Iowa, they they would have known the results immediately.
But to come in fourth and then they go to New Hampshire, and you know I'm here in Milford, New Hampshire.
I know you're you're out 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.
Oh, but you know, you saw the rally last night for Trump, tremendous support for President Trump here.
Uh, but on their side, I mean, Joe Biden is almost a non-existent factor out here.
And so he's insulting.
He's he does he look like he really doesn't want to be there.
And frankly, I don't think he survives uh to South Carolina in this race.
I think he drops out before then.
Uh, but it's it's a shame to see what's happening.
And you know, I think the quid pro quo uh thing is real.
People know uh that it happened.
He bragged about it, uh, but there's still a lot of reckoning going on with that, too.
So the thing is it's not collapse.
It's not 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 uh 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 uh uh looked into and uh no serious person think there's 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 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 I 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, enthusiasm, a lot of young people that are out of that rally last night, yet 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.
And Pelosi, which she did ripping up that paper with the names of war heroes, the names of victims of sanctuary city violence, it, it I think it 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 uh and that you know they just keep going at it Zelensky is 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 them 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 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 twelve years uh 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 him for you and and ask you how you think this is going to play out but I ask you to listen to this through the the prism of what if Donald Trump said it.
Listen 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.
95% of your murders and murderers and murder victims is one at home.
You can just take the description and pass it out to all the cops.
They are male minority gun get the guns out of the hands a lot of cops in the street.
put those cops way of the crime in the minority neighborhoods.
So it's one of the unintended consequences is people say, oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana.
They're all minority.
Yes, that's true.
Why?
Because you 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 out of the kids'hands is to throw them against the wall.
the weekend.
then they start they say oh I don't want that I don't want to get caught so they don't get the gun.
They still have a gun so they leave 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 are arrest, you can ask witnesses and victims for descriptions.
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 disapprotionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.
And then he talks, 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 three percent, and so nobody wanted to touch him on the Democrat side because they they didn't think he was going to catch on and they 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 a morphing into a socialist.
And so which one is it?
And and how are you going to answer for the things that you did as mayor?
But but um but imagine this if you're an African American and you hear Bloomberg actually saying, Yeah, we're gonna throw minority kids up against the wall uh because uh 95% of murderers are are African Americans.
Uh and and then he goes on, he goes even further.
He goes, Why do we do it?
He's on tape saying this because uh he goes, the way you get the guns out of the kids' hands, you throw them up against the wall and you frisk them.
Uh and then they start, oh, I don't want to get caught, so they don't bring a gun and uh they still don't have a gun and leave it at home.
And then he goes, Yeah, of course we're arresting more minority kids for marijuana.
Uh 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?
And look, you know, and you said this if a Republican, if Donald Trump would have done that or said that, uh they'd they'd be going nuts, they always go nuts no matter what he says anyway.
Uh but I think he's gonna have to answer for this.
I think Michael Bloomberg is finally getting the scrutiny that he deserves.
He was avoiding it, he was hiding out.
Look, I was I was at uh middle school in Bedford about two hours ago, and I had a military veteran at one of the the uh 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 gonna work.
And it there's an authenticity uh that goes with coming into these primaries in 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 them 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 uh apparently a big turnout for them today in New Hampshire.
What is your take on that?
Same as Iowa.
Is that enthusiasm indicative of 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 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 eleven and a half thousand people in that arena uh over in Southern New Hampshire, uh, but it was the 40,000 other people who wanted to get in who couldn't.
Uh and uh and they it's genuine enthusiasm because of what this president's done.
It's all about results.
You know, he promised things twenty in 2016, and he's delivered on those things.
The economy's better.
He's building over a hundred miles of new wall this year.
Uh, we're actually securing the border.
We're seeing a decrease in the the illegal crossings now uh 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 Solomonny.
By 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.
Oh, it's terrible.
Acquittal for life.
I gotta let you go, but I gotta tell you something.
If this keeps up, it's gonna be amazing.
Uh I'm up on a heart break.
