We're now at nearly the three-month mark until the most critical pivotal choice election in American history, and there's so much to get to, so much to talk about.
You know, there are times at life in life that I wish I would be wrong.
But sometimes I'm just not.
I've been doing this for way too long.
And it's my passion as well, especially presidential politics, and I don't know why.
I like this ever since I was a kid, and I'd stay up late at night and I'd listen to the great pioneers of Talk Radio, my dear friend Barry Farver.
I often quote him on this program.
And my parents would yell, shut off the radio.
And I'd be like, okay.
Then I'd hear my father, this is my father walking in the house.
Like, you know, okay, Dad, I can figure out when you're in your room and when you're coming to yell at me for having the radio on.
So I just would put it on a little bit lower.
I remember you used to have those little earphones that you like you put you plug it in on the side of a radio and then you put it in, you know, it's like we old transition or transition, uh, what do you call it?
Transit transistor.
That's it.
That's the word I'm looking for.
I talk for a living, yes.
I almost had a Joe Biden moment.
All these truths to be self-evident all men are created equal and doubt by uh uh you know oh you know, we all these truths being the thing, the thing.
All men and women created by the go you know the you know the thing.
Yeah, the thing.
Interesting polls 95 days out, president, 50%.
Latest Rasmussen survey.
By the way, most accurate polling operation of 2016, one of just a few.
John McGlachin was right, Scott Rasmussen was right, uh Matt Towery was right.
This guy that what's his name that does the local polling Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.
He called all three of them.
People thought he was nuts.
Uh he was right.
I got a tag flour, I forget his name.
Anyway, president's positivity rating now 50%.
Uh oh, I thought that um he was in trouble.
That's what the mob in the media says.
I'm telling you right now, there's gonna be an emotional roller coaster, ups and downs, and it is it is gonna be buckle up.
It's gonna be rough waters for a lot of days and a lot of insanity.
You can see it emerging and unfolding pretty much in all of these cities run by liberal democrats for decades, and you know, here we are.
Yeah, live free or die, four days.
We release next week.
We got a full schedule on Hannity.com.
Great events.
I hope many of you can would think about joining us for some of these events.
Uh everything from the Nixon and Reagan libraries.
I'll be on Life, Liberty, and Levin with Mark Levin, uh, Greg Jarrett on Fox Nation.
I'm gonna be on, you know, a lot of shows next week on Fox.
Looking forward to spending a lot of times.
I did a podcast.
We're doing a hot podcast Sunday night with Newt Gingrich.
Uh all of, you know, a lot of stuff.
And I'm I'm I love I had planned originally to be able to go out on the road, do radio and TV from wherever city I'm in and meet all of you, and I wish I could do that this time.
I've done that in the past, and it's been just an amazing honor and experience in my life.
And but with that said, you know, we have to we have to take into consideration.
We got to wipe out this invisible enemy, and I think we will.
I know deaths are higher in Florida, and they've been up in Texas.
You know, one fact though remains.
If you take the total number of deaths in the state of Florida alone, and then separately take the the total number of deaths in the state of Texas alone.
And by the way, I was the one saying from the beginning, yeah, it's not if it's when we have the rebound.
Well, it's the it's predictable.
You know, we we got a lot of things wrong on this virus.
All the experts were wrong, all the doctors were wrong.
Um, all of the models were wrong.
Two and a half million Americans are gonna die.
Okay.
And but then we got things right.
The single best decision by anybody in this was made by the president.
And that was ten days after the first identified case of corona in America.
And that's when he put the travel ban in effect.
Nobody around him.
I've been told by people in the room that there are like 20, 25 people in the room in the Oval Office, I believe, or maybe it was I don't know where it was.
That maybe the Roosevelt room, I'm not sure.
But I remember the them all saying the same thing.
There was not one person around the president that said, yeah, that travel ban is a good idea.
He did it anyway.
Well, it's we can't calculate how Remember, remember, China put a travel ban in effect.
If you lived in Wuhan province, you were banned from traveling to the rest of China.
If you were in the rest of China and you wanted to go to Wuhan province, you were banned from doing so.
But China then allowed travel from Wuhan to the rest of the world.
And look at what it has done to the rest of the world.
When it could have all been contained.
They contained it for the rest of their country, but not the rest of us.
Which by the way raises an incredible mystery at the stupidity.
You know, what Democrats are actually cheerleading if you can believe it, you know, for China, and they don't want people to have the right to go out and sue China.
I'm like, why not?
Why not?
Because that to me is unbelievable.
Now I'll tell you, then we had the president, you know, because remember, in March, you know, you had Comrade de Blasio saying, here's my recommendations.
Go here, here, and here.
March, I think second through fifth or sixth, whatever.
Andrew Cuomo, we're not like other countries, we're New York.
There's New York is, we have the best medical system in the world.
Okay, how did that work out, Andrew?
Then the dumbest decision made by anybody was, you know, him and then Murphy and Wolfe and Whitmer, these executive orders late in March, March 28th.
The executive order in New York putting COVID-19 positive patients in nursing homes, long-term care facilities.
But if you take the worst day in New York, just one day of death, what, over 33,000, I think now.
And you look at the total number in Florida from the beginning to today.
And they're now at a higher death rate, but which it looks like it looks like maybe we're beginning to see the flattening.
Remember, you want to flatten the curve, then a slow decline, then a precipitous drop, and it's done and it goes away for the most part.
And the same with Texas.
But in but in one day, that's still Florida doesn't match the one of the worst days in New York.
Think about the same with Texas.
But that's not the way the mob, they don't want to give DeSantis and Abbott credit.
They did two really smart things.
And they keep doing it.
And that is they went in like laser beams.
I know in Florida, DeSantis in particular, you know, partnered with the villages, America's friendliest hometown, partnered with nursing homes, partnered with long-term care facilities.
Literally every state agency was mobilized to help the nursing homes, protect the elderly population.
And of course, one death is too many.
But he didn't do what Cuomo, Murphy, Whitmer, and Wolf did.
And he protected the most vulnerable population.
Because that out of all the wrong things, that is the one thing that they all actually got right.
So anyway, the president's uh 50% approval rating in Rasmussen.
Now we see uh this was an interesting Rasmussen report.
And remember, they were, if it's even remotely accurate, the Democratic Party's gonna have a lot to answer for on election day because the latest Rasmussen report survey finds that 50% of likely U.S. voters believe political leaders in some major cities like Portland, Seattle are encouraging violent protests by limiting the police response.
31% disagree.
A sizable 19%, not sure.
But 55% of all voters believe most reporters identify with the protesters in violent protest situations.
Only 5% say most reporters identify more with the police.
33% feel they generally try to be impartial.
Voters are far more convinced that the much maligned police have been fighting back too much.
Only 29% think the police departments are too aggressive.
Slightly more, 34% believe they're not aggressive enough.
30% say the police response in most cases has been about right.
Well, if you listen to Barack Obama yesterday, or the police are using tear gas and batons against peaceful protesters.
Let's go to Barack Obama yesterday again.
I got a lot to say about this today.
George Wallace may be gone, but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators.
There are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrictive ID laws and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision,
even undermining the postal service in the run-up to an election that's gonna be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don't get sick.
And if all this takes eliminating the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic, in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then that's what we should do.
All right, there you are.
You know, a friend of mine was watching and did this on TV.
We did some of it yesterday.
We didn't break it down the way we did on TV last night.
He goes, you call you you said this.
You said that at the end of last year that this is gonna happen this year.
And I said it happens every two and four years, rich versus young, old versus poor, black versus white.
And we have a history of it.
Let's go to the 1998 Missouri radio ad by the Democrats.
Listen to this.
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.
When you don't vote, it's not true any of it.
What Obamas was saying yesterday, by the way, it's a little ironic that when he talked about George Wallace and mentioned Democrats, how ironic is it?
He's talking about Democrats.
How interesting is it that Obama is advocating for Joe Biden to be president?
Joe Biden's great mentor and all the praise that he has heaped over the years on a former Klansman, a former Klansman.
Compare it firstly compares Wallace and other, you know, police officers, law enforcement, federal officers, tear gas, and batons on peaceful protesters.
You know, or you know, look at Joe, look at Joe Biden.
Look at Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the Clintons, both Bill and Hillary, praising, let's see, a guy by the name of Robert Byrd, the former Klansman, who, again, they praised him.
John Lewis was a courageous historic figure.
He he, Martin Luther King Jr., Joseph Lowry, Andy Young, Jose O Williams, people I knew in Atlanta, not all of them like me.
I debated most of them regularly, but they put their lives on the line with peaceful protests culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 64 and 65.
Obama in the same speech is talking about an honoring John Lewis with you know extending the voting rights act, but yet the candidate for the Democratic Party praised the guy that filibustered the historic legislation that 80% of Republicans in the House and Senate voted for in 64.
Although I and my colleagues behind me revere the Senate.
Well, if there was ever a senator who was the embodiment of his state, there's ever a senator who in fact reflected his state.
He was fiercely devoted, as you've all heard, to his principals.
Even once he became power.
Standing up for the people he proudly was part of.
He filibustered the Civil Rights Act, Joe.
Pretty does the did anyone in the media Will they ever tell anybody that?
Or tell anybody that on issues of segregation, integration, that you didn't want your kids going with integration into a racial jungle.
I'm gonna give you this history, and then we'll have Burgess Owens, Jack Brewer, Leo Terrell all coming up.
We got a busy day today.
So it it it it just you know, think about that.
The the Democratic leadership today praises the guy that filibustered the Civil Rights Act at 1964.
If Donald Trump did that, what do you think you'd hear every second minute hour of the day?
If Donald Trump talked about integration and his children and integrated schools and quote, use the term racial jungle, what would happen?
You know, never mind the more recent ridiculous things that Biden has said, and even what he said about Barack Obama, or you know, go into a 7 Eleven or a Duncan Donuts or my state's a slave state.
I mean, it's it's it's beyond shocking.
But it's every two years and it's every four years, and it's predictable.
The question is, I like results.
Donald Trump delivered results for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, youth unemployment, African American youth unemployment.
Barack and Joe never did that.
They didn't do criminal justice reform, they didn't do police reform.
They didn't do opportunity zones.
They didn't commit more money for the greatest period of time ever to historically black colleges.
Shatter every record low unemployment for especially minorities that were disproportionately negatively impacted by the Biden and uh Barack economy.
They didn't do very well with 13 million more Americans, food stamps, eight million more in poverty.
We'll continue our history lesson on the other side.
800-941-SEAN, our number.
Burgess Owens, Jack Brewer, at the Leo Terrell.
All coming up.
John Solomon breaking news, Hannity.com, all the events we have scheduled.
I hope you can be a part of, and the release of Live Free or Die, America and the World on the Brink, all there, Hannity.com and our election interactive map.
All right, that's uh just four days excited about it.
Uh Linda, somebody just said to me, a friend of mine, Bugsy, you know Bugsy, of course, uh, that uh he can't find on the website the list of events we're doing.
What's up with that?
Well, that's because I haven't finished it, Bugsy.
I'm doing the best I can, you know.
Are you gonna have to endeavis of every demanding boss?
Is it gonna be up tonight?
It is gonna be up tonight.
The long and the short of it is we're we're converting every in real life event to virtual tour dates.
So I have to get everybody to get the link up on their site before I can provide it on ours, but I promise you that there will be dates up there tonight.
Okay.
By what time?
Okay.
Any time after the show, it's six Eastern, three Petitions.
You know, I like to keep people on their toes.
Just keep going back to Hannity.com.
There's wonderful things to see there.
Oh my gosh.
All right.
Thank you.
Um the amazing thing, and and anyway, 25 Hannity.com, Amazon.com.
We have wonderful events.
Well, I we do hope a lot of you can join us.
Stuff with the Reagan Library and the Nixon Library.
I mean, I don't want to give it all away.
We've we talked about it yesterday.
We'll have it up on Hannity.com, a lot of great shows.
Um, we're doing long form interviews.
Oh, don't forget, Bill O'Reilly's not giving me a cupcake interview next week.
He says it's gonna not gonna be a cupcake interview.
He just cracks me up.
He had to tell me like 15 times Hannity, this isn't gonna be a cupcake interview.
I'm like, what is a cupcake interview?
What's that?
You wouldn't have it any other way.
You two have that uh, you know, fairly.
I've never had a cupcake interview in my life.
What is a cupcake interview?
Oh, we have a perfect example of cupcake interviews.
Uh, all the ones that were done for Obama the entire time he was left.
The only one that Obama ever was O'Reilly, in fairness to him, the only one I would have loved to ask him about heirs and Dorne and right and black liberation theology.
It's just a guy from the neighborhood, Sean.
Just the guy from the neighborhood, Airs and Dorn.
I started my political career in their house, unrepentant domestic terrorists in the New York Times of all days, 9-11, 2001, wishing that he did more acts of terror.
We wish I wish we did more.
You know, or Alinsky, community organizing, acorn.
What is a community?
What is a community organizer?
Still don't know.
Nobody knows what that is.
Frank Marshall Davis, the chum gang.
Yeah, the only question you got about Ayers and Dorn is the one I fed him, I fed not him, fed uh Stephanopoulos before a debate.
Now, George never heard of Arizon Dorn before the the day before he had the debate he was moderating that Obama was hit.
Just uh just the guy in the neighborhood, George.
And I'm like, listening, and I'm like, how do you not know this?
Why, you know, but then it's like, but it's a whole different place.
So a friend of mine's saying to me, Hannity, how do you know?
How did you know that that you know the that this divisive campaign would unfold the unfold exactly as you said?
I said, because it happens every two and four years.
And it's sad, and by the way, it's hurtful.
It hurts the country.
You know, one glorious nation under God.
We know I don't.
I've said this, I've I'm the only one I think that kept scrolling names, you know, Barack's home city, Chicago, he's president, violence, people shot, same thing every weekend, every weekend, every weekend, people killed.
Names you've never heard of.
It's amazing how many innocent people get shot and killed, and you never hear their names.
Why?
Why don't we hear why do we only hear some names and not everybody's name?
Because I guess you can't use it as a political weapon or for a political agenda.
You know, it's uh all these things that were said yesterday that are just not true.
Turning a eulogy literally into a campaign event.
And and one that is divisive as as I've ever heard.
Remember the Paul Wellstone rally from years ago, more memorial service of Hinton.
Listen to this.
I am begging you, please, let the people of this state hear your voice on his behalf to keep his legacy alive and help us win this election for Paul Gulsto.
Will you stand up and keep fighting for social and economic justice?
Say yes.
We will win!
We will win!
We will win, we will win, we will win, we will, we will get much, and we love you.
Thank you.
And then, you know, the well, the the federal police are are literally they're they're going after peaceful protesters with with tear gas and batons.
That's not happening.
And he talks about, you know, guys like George Wallace, he may be gone.
You mean the Democrat?
Standing in front of the schoolhouse door.
I wonder if Barack Obama knows the history of even Joe Biden.
And I wonder if he knows about the praise that that some of the people that he's friends with were you know, singing the praises that we played in the last half hour of Robert Byrd, the former Klansman that was filibustering the Civil Rights Act and the voting rights act,
you know, and federals federal government sending agents in to use tear gas and batons against peaceful protesters, and he raising his voice, you know, and talking about we may no longer have to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar to cast a ballot,
even as we sit here, those in power doing their darndest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrictive ID laws.
Well, by the way, if you wanted to ever go to one of Barack Obama's conventions, 2008 and 12, guess what?
I needed a photo ID to get in the building.
People knew.
People used to say, Hi, Mr. Hannity, uh, we need your ID.
Where's your pass?
And I showed them I follow the rules.
I'm a rule follower, obey the laws, pay all my taxes.
Boy, if I didn't pay my taxes, forget it.
I'm paying everything beyond, way beyond.
It's ridiculous.
Uh, but anyway, that's these things are not happening.
Attacking our rights and our with surgical precision, undermining the postal service and the run up to an election that's going to be dependent on mail in ballots so that people don't get sick.
Wow.
I mean, the whole thing.
Then he talks about, you know, naming the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
And I I just, you know, when you go through the history, what part of Obama thought it was peaceful when 59 police officers were injured?
Well, I'm sorry, federal, you know, officers injured last weekend.
Almost 2,000 injured now.
You've seen all the video from all of these cities, all have one thing in common, run by liberal Democrats for decades.
And we, you know, what have we watched?
We watched them only come outside, the federal agents, an AP reporter embedded with federal agents saying in Portland, yeah, they only came out when the building was under attack.
To defend the courthouse, federal property.
They're not there to bring law in order to those cities.
Because the mayors won't let the president restore law in order.
They care more about saying horrible things about the president than they do about protecting their own citizens.
You know, you have what police officers hit with bricks and rocks and bottles and frozen water bottles and Molotov cocktails and canes, and now they're talking about hockey sticks.
All of it.
Peaceful protesters?
I don't think so.
What about the high-powered lasers that have now blinded three, it looks like three federal officials, uh, officers permanently used by the peaceful protesters?
You know, 60 some, we're heading on 70 days of nonstop, endless protesting and violence in Mayhem.
Look at the Seattle police chief.
What this woman was phenomenal this week, but so sad.
Yeah, if there's another riot, we if you're own a business or you have a residence, we're not going to be able to send our police in to protect you because they won't allow the police to use the methods in which they've been trained to disperse violent crowds.
What a what a what a moment that is.
How did the Chaz chop autonomous spaghetti potluck dinner?
Uh Summer of Love Zone do.
Yeah, people died there.
Many others injured.
How did it work out at Atlanta when the two blocks were taken over, another autonomous zone by the Wendy's when people there?
I actually had Steve Harrigan bravely went there live on Hannity, interviewed these guys with their AR-15s in front of the Wendy's.
That was week and a half before this eight-year-old little girl was shot and killed because her mom made a wrong turn.
Or the one-year-old little boy killed in Brooklyn and a stroller outside a park.
Lawrence Jones interviewed the father and the grandmother.
Or the seven-year-old that beautiful girl killed in Chicago at her grandma's house on 4th of July weekend.
What about, you know, what's the total going to be Monday when we come back in terms of violence in Chicago this weekend?
Because it's, I think it's been 70, 64, and 59, including a 10 and 11-year-old shot what last weekend.
Is it going to be three dead or 13 dead or 15 dead?
Could they do we not have the ability to stop this?
Mayor Lightfoot doesn't reject the president's help.
You got chaos all over New York City.
What are they doing to restore order in New York?
Nothing.
Cutting the police a billion dollars in the street crime unit, the most effective policing tool eliminated in New York City.
Old people being beaten up on the streets, in come the drug addicts, shooting up on the streets.
And we're not talking about, you know, in remote places of New York.
We're talking about Midtown Manhattan and the prestigious upper east side of Manhattan.
What's going to happen to the city as a result of this?
Or Portland?
Or Seattle?
You want to move to these cities?
Want to move to Los Angeles?
I don't think so.
You know, all these promises, the new Green Deal, how has it worked out the promises they made on Obamacare when millions lost their doctors, millions lost their plans?
On average, we're all paying 200% more.
We're supposed to save $2,500 a year per family, and there's nearly 40% of the country now that has one Biden Obama care option, just one.
No other options.
Sad.
How's that Social Security promise working out?
How's the Medicare promise working out?
Because they're going bankrupt.
How's the promise for good schools in these cities working out?
Because we spend more per capita than any other country, industrialized country on earth.
We come in like set 37th and 40th.
13 public high schools, high schools, not kids, 13 public high schools in Baltimore, third highest per capita in this country, which means the world spent on students.
Not one child proficient in math.
Is that acceptable?
You don't have law, order, safety, security, and an education.
You are shut out of opportunity in this country.
This is basic.
This is fundamental.
And the one thing in common, all of these cities, and most of the states, but all of the cities, the 98% of the states are blue states run by Democrats, liberal Democrats for decades.
You know what I call this?
A preview of coming attractions.
You know, why is there this compulsion of Joe and Obama and Wheeler and Lightfoot and Durkin and Comrade de Blasio to demonize the police.
The 99%, as hard as I on this program went after the FBI and those that abuse power, those with a corrupt.
I always I always distinguish those that small percentage versus the 99 good people percent of good people.
I said it till the cows came home because I didn't want them to be vilified with a broad sweeping brush.
That's unfair.
You know, the James Bird, I won't play it.
I was gonna play.
I'm not gonna bother.
It's like my father was killed all over again.
George Bush supported the death penalty for the people involved in the horrific and evil dragging death of an innocent man.
The death penalty.
Well, he doesn't support hate crimes legislation.
Well, the death penalty kind of transcends that.
Al Gore, you know, Republicans don't even want to count you in the census.
They got the wrong agenda for, you know.
I don't feel no ways tired, Hillary.
They're gonna put you all back in chains, Biden's saying.
McCain accused of racism, Romney accused of race.
It's every two years, every four years.
Did the full history last night?
But does Obama even know that the filibuster that he, you know, he says we need to get rid of it, a relic of the Jim Crow error?
Does he even know that the guy supporting for president Joe Biden worked hand in hand with the guy that wanted to uh that wanted a slow integration?
He talked about racial jungles as kids in school.
MBC, he led the charge, talking about Biden, on the issue that kept black students away from the classrooms of white students.
He worried his children would grow up in a quote, racial jungle.
Does he know that the guy that filibustered the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act that he wanted to honor John Lewis with?
That Biden called him the dean of the Senate, a close friend and a mentor.
Pelosi Schumer, Bill and Hillary all said the same thing.
And Robert, the former Klansman Bird and Al Gore Sr. filibustered the Civil Rights Act.
That people really transformative, courageous people made happen, including John Lewis of Martin Luther King Jr. and Joseph Lowry.
I never thought Andy Young liked me, but he was he's a good man.
These are brave people.
Help make us a more perfect union, but it wouldn't have happened if their mentor had their way.
This is now the crazy days of an election year.
Buckle up.
It's gonna get worse.
George Wallace may be gone.
But we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators.
There Are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrictive ID laws and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision,
even undermining the postal service in the run-up to an election that's going to be dependent on mail in ballots so people don't get sick.
And if all this takes eliminating the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic, in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then that's what we should do.
All right, that was the eulogy given by Barack Obama for John Lewis.
The amazing thing is that he talked about politicians from years gone by, and he was talking about Democrats.
John Lewis, I I met all of these great civil rights leaders and pioneers that marched with Martin Luther King Jr.
When I was in Atlanta, it was in education.
First day on the air, I got a welcome to the city of Atlanta from the mayor at the time, Maynard Jackson.
He was on my radio show many, many times.
SCLC founder uh Joe Lowry, also uh out there in the front lines, peaceful protesting, Selma, Montgomery facing dogs and fire hoses in the case of John Lewis.
He he sadly had his skull broken with a brick, but they made this a more perfect union.
They did it, and successfully, the it the ensuing result of that was the 64 Civil Rights Act, the 65 Voting Rights Act, and yet the guy that's at the top of the ticket for the Democrats is out there praising, as well as Schumer and Pelosi, all praising and Clinton, both Bill and Hillary praising the guy that was filibustering the 1964 Civil Rights Act, uh, and that is Robert Byrd.
By the way, Al Gore's father who said Republicans don't even want to count you in the census, that guy, his father was nowhere to be found.
And I'm just wondering, you know, if Donald Trump praised the guy that filibustered the Civil Rights Act, that brave pioneers, and and I disagreed politically.
Hosea Williams became a friend of mine, friend of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Joe Lowry and I, we had so many contentious political battles, but great respect.
I had great respect for the man.
I'm I I'm he's a hero.
I don't agree with anything politically with John Lewis, but what he did, and all those that participated, and they were people of all backgrounds and races that marched, and they did it peacefully under the worst conditions, and they help make this a better country.
Now, the beauty of our system is that we can write wrongs and correct injustices.
We fought a civil war in large part over an issue called slavery.
Uh Mark Levin did a great job last night on Hannity laying out all of the varying civil rights uh acts that had been presented over time in Congress and a battle that have been fought.
Are we there yet?
No.
No way.
Have we made a lot of progress?
Yep.
We have a lot more progress to make.
I believe we do.
But I also look at results.
There's a lot of rhetoric by a lot of people that are running for office.
Combined Biden Schumer Pelosi, those that praised the guy filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 64.
They have 125 years combined swamp experience.
What is the record of Biden in 47 years?
Can you name one accomplishment?
Name one specific thing that made this a better country, or Pelosi or Schumer for that matter.
You look at Donald Trump, I can tell you what he did.
I can tell you specifically what he did for African Americans.
He shattered every record that that uh in terms of low unemployment, one record after another after another after another.
And he did it for every demographic group, including African American youth unemployment.
So important for every kid to have a job in the summer.
If it did if I didn't have a job in the summer, I mean, I was incorrigible.
I was with my dopey friends getting in trouble every day.
And thank God that those jobs have come back.
Now they're gonna come back at once we get on the other side of of the coronavirus, worst pandemic since 1918.
And uh, but I didn't notice that Barack Obama, you know, that that's a glaring omission to me.
Anyway, they're gonna be with us for the full hour.
Uh by the way, very proud of our friend uh Burgess Owens, former NFL player.
Uh He was part of the 1980 Super Bowl winning Oakland Raiders Raiders lineup.
I mean, he just I mean, just an amazing gladiator.
I love the gladiator sports of football and MMA.
I'm just, I'm so in.
I just envy the skill, the talent, the courage of every athlete.
Um he now he won the primary, and he's now officially uh in it to win the fourth congressional district out in Utah.
We strongly endorse his candidacy, a wonderful man.
Uh we have also with us Jack Brewer, former American football safety, played professionally for the Vikings, the Giants, the Eagles, the Cardinals at the Leo Torrell on Twitter, 2.0 Leo.
Leo, we'll start with you because this was supposed to be a eulogy for a man that actually, you know, bravely help cause change.
But the guy that is running for the Democrats praised the guy that tried to stop the change that people like John Lewis and Martin Luther King Jr. and Joe Lowry and Hosea Williams fought for.
You know, Sean, I'll tell you right now, first of all, thanks for having me on today.
Uh John Lewis did some great things in the 50s and 60s, Voting Rights Act.
Uh those acts were very civil rights act of 1960.
Very, very important.
And what he did in the 60s, a peaceful demonstration, fantastic.
What President Obama did yesterday was an embarrassment.
Uh Al Sharpton might be happy about it.
But what he did was, and I know that lawyer's strict, he manipulated facts, used that pulpit as a campaign platform, manipulated facts, trying to demonize George Wallace, as you correctly said, walls with a Democrat.
And he tried to claim that somehow make the analogy that Wallace is Trump, not even close.
And what is embarrassing and insulting, the Kool-Aid was drank by all the members in the congregation.
What is happening right now is race politics is being played and will be played for the next 90 plus days.
And the Democrats will try to demonize the Republicans.
They can't, because President Trump has a record to run on regarding his help and assistance and contributions to the African American community in the form of emplo unemployment being lowered.
The fact that the first step at the fact that he was a very good thing.
Well, you're talking about criminal justice reform, police reform, opportunity zones, the largest amount of money, longest commitment to historically black colleges.
Uh these are these are real accomplishments.
Those are solid accomplishments.
And the Democratic Party have nothing to run on.
Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi have done nothing but pander.
I don't need them to take a knee in African garb.
That doesn't change things for the better.
Donald Trump is making this country a more perfect union, and he has a long way to go, and he needs another four years, and you're right.
I'm voting for him.
All right, Burgess uh Owens, uh, your thoughts on all of this.
There's a lot to absorb here.
Your thoughts about Barack Obama's comments, the you know, the the atmosphere of where he was when he said it.
And um, we see this every two and four years.
I laid this out in the first hour.
I laid it out on TV last night.
Well, you know, Leo just nailed it, and you guys have we've all highlighted the success of President Trump, and you're right, there's a record that's drawn Americans to him.
Here's the thing that that we can say about America and our history.
We the people, the most powerful three words in history of mankind, defines who we are.
We're people that love to come together.
We love harmony.
We will every single generation get better and better looking at each other from inside out versus outside in.
The radical left is just the opposite of that.
You see, we have the greatest opportunity.
See, there's no great anymore.
There's a side that's about destruction, darkness, division, hatred, racism.
That is the that is the radical left.
America is all about opportunity, faith, light, um, green.
And that's what America will come to when this election period, we're going to innately do what we do with an outside within our DNA.
We're going to vote for hope, dream, and our future, our kids.
Not for the devious left that wants to divide us.
They don't understand who we are, and it'll be very obvious in November 2020.
We're going to define very strongly what we represent.
It is not the devious left card.
Uh hatred that that's coming out of the Democratic Party today.
Jack Brewer, your take on all of this.
I mean, thanks for having me, Sean.
Uh, great to be on this panel with all you great people.
Well, thank you.
When you hear the hypocrisy coming out on the lips of Barack Obama, for him to be sitting in a church full of people and then have the audacity to talk about the need to send in mail in ballots.
Like a polling station would be any more dangerous than that church that they were sitting in full of people.
It's unbelievable how hypocrisy has taken over the Democratic Party.
They can't they they want to tear down statues of other Democrats and pretend as if they're Republicans.
They want to go in in the same very policies that they claim to stand against, they put in in place.
And that it scares me because we're fighting for the soul of the nation.
It scares me because really the kids that are out there the young minority kids the fatherless kids all the people that are to tuning in the MSNBC and CNN I know a lot of them Sean.
People are listening to this garbage and they use emotion they use identity to brainwash the public and we got to stand up against this our whole task all of us as men as men of God our task should be to do whatever we can to communicate not to our own people not to the conservatives not to the right we got to communicate to the vulnerable left the people whose lives are really being affected by this garbage.
You know, it happens every two, every four years.
Divide the country, old, young, rich, poor, black, white.
I mean, I've gone through the history a number of times.
You know, for the people that might find it appealing, Leo Terrell, that government is going to handle everything you need, education, vacation, guaranteed job, health care, school, retirement, government, healthy food.
Okay.
I guess maybe, oh, I don't have any more worries in my life.
Security Medicare doing they're both going broke?
How is how's law and order and safety and security in cities run by liberal Democrats for decades?
Well we see what's what our eyes our eyes don't lie what's unfolding every day.
How's that educational system in those same cities run by liberal Democrats for decades?
Well the worst in the world especially when you consider per capita how much we spend well you know Sean the education system in Democratic cities let me put in one word sucks it's horrible because the unions have dominated the politics and give money to these Democratic mayors.
Let me be as clear as possible Jack hit it on the head we got to go into these battleground states into these minority communities because the Democrats are playing on emotions and and and pandering to identity what Craig Melvin did a black man try to ask another black man Vernon Jordan how much are you getting paid are you getting paid I have received zero because I believe in saving this country and you know what else is very important?
I don't want to hear now from the government we got four men on this radio program right now who believe in hard work personal responsibility and the right to decide what he wants to do.
And we're all successful because we work hard and that's the American way and that's what we need to do for the next 90 days for the president.
Burgess let me pick off we'll play it the on the other side of the the news at the bottom of the hour the the cut that Leah was referring to but you know why are these liberal cities failing?
Why do they always make lofty promises and they can't even give us safety security and a decent education in these liberal cities run by Democrats for decades.
Well it's simple because it's run by socialism and and to that point it's important that we know our history and this is why as we the people understand I grew up in Leo and I grew up in the time with separate but equal period but we had very proud parents who taught us education was key faith was that industry go out there and you work harder than the next guy and family was everything.
That was the core makes any American who can who can live join the American the the middle class within a generation if they have to they're tied himself those tenants you go to these places where they the leftists have overseen their the uh the population you see no education no faith no no industry no self-sufficiency and they've turned the family unit upside down.
If you really understand the fact is if you want to see pure evil look at the ideology of the of the radical left and use misery as a political uh political strategy they love to see people miserable so they get power and power and power and profitability always uh uh trumps uh patriotism when it comes to the hard left.
So just know who we're dealing with.
It doesn't matter, by the way, whether they antifa or those those those protests, violent protesters on the streets, or the corporate cowards that we see in NFL and NBA and Google.
Those are the same type of people.
They care about the profit and the probability and their power versus the American people.
And that's a consistency about with what the leftists we need to stand up against it, and we people come together no matter what part, what part of the hour we're on, Democrat independent or Republican, those who love our country, let's come together and defeat the evil of the hard left.
All right, we're not gonna forget our friend Jack Brewer.
Uh, we're gonna do this again for the for the back half hour of the program.
I'll play that cut that Leo referred to earlier, uh that exchange with Vernon uh what was it, Vernon Jones, I believe, uh on MSDNC.
Uh we'll get to that.
Uh we'll take a quick break.
Hannity.com for election information.
I mean, early voting.
When does it start?
Absentee voting.
How do you do that?
Who's your congressional candidate?
We have an interactive map.
So uh we'll get to all of that.
More with Burgess Owens, Jack Brewer at the Leo Torrell on Twitter, and your calls coming up.
Uh John Solomon with some breaking news as well.
Quick break, right back on this Friday, only 95 days till election day.
Live free or die out Tuesday.
Hannity.com, Amazon.com.
We'll continue.
All right, Hannity.com, Amazon.com.
Uh we have up there also uh how we are doing.
It's a little different than the last book I did 10 years ago, but the moment matters.
Everything's on the line as far as I'm concerned.
There's never been a bigger choice election.
If the stated policies of Biden, Bolshevik Bernie, AOC, Schumer, Pelosi, and Bozo, the Gunzar confiscation guy, if they're implemented, it will be a disaster.
These are promises they're making.
You have nothing to worry about from the minute you're born to the minute you die.
The only problem is it's called science and math.
They'll never fulfill the promise, just like Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare, and most of these cities run by liberal Democrats for decades, they can't keep people safe.
Kids and strollers that are one year old.
You know, kids at their their grandma's house on the Fourth of July weekend, or the Chaz Chop Summer of Love Zone.
This this heart-wrenching interview that I had with Horace Lorenzo Anderson Sr.
Wost his 19-year-old son, or the eight-year-old little girl that died in Atlanta.
You know, or you know, and I brought this up all during the Obama Biden years.
I used to scroll the names of nobody ever heard of shooting victims and those that died from the from the violence, the war zone that is Chicago while Obama's hometown it was all happening while he was president, he barely mentioned it.
Same with Joe, and I'd scroll these names.
I'd be like, hello, these are real people, these are our fellow Americans.
It's a war zone.
They're getting shot.
Hello, somebody wake up.
But of course, they went into full denial.
But everything's Donald Trump's fault now.
Uh anyway, we continue.
Burgess Owens is with us.
By the way, now he won the primary, now is up for Utah's fourth congressional district.
This is a winnable seat for Burgess Owens and Republicans.
And he'd be an incredible, incredible addition in the House of Representatives.
And he has my full support, unless he tells me he doesn't want it because it'll hurt his chances.
But I'm asking everybody in Utah in the fourth district, you know, Burgess Owens is will be the best representative you've ever had.
That I can promise you.
Jack Brewer, former American football safety, by the way, one of the hardest jobs in football, as far as I'm concerned.
Uh I played for the Vikings, the Giants, the Eagles, the Cardinals at the Leo Terrell.
Leo mentioned earlier Craig Melvin and Vernon Jones, an exchange that took place on MSDNC.
This is very revealing this exchange, and we'll get their reaction on the other side.
It's a long way until November.
We got more questions.
You got more questions.
I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're from Mir Trump and you ain't black.
Are you a paid campaign surrogate?
Are you being compensated?
Everybody let me be clear.
You get paid to shape a liberal narrative.
You get paid to attack this president.
I don't see a question for this president.
I don't get a dime from the campaign.
You only ask me that because I don't fit your narrative.
No, this president's never offer anything.
I don't want anything from this president.
It's what I can do for my country.
And you need to accept that many other African Americans and others support this president because of his policies.
And to insult me to say, am I getting paid?
That incorporates.
Wow.
That was a powerful rebuttal.
Jack Brewer, your thoughts.
Man, you know what?
When I listen to that and I think about the brainwashing that's going on, I'm so glad that Vernon, I was actually with him that same day in DC.
I'm so glad that he responded that way.
And I'm gonna take this time on this show to acknowledge Burgess Owens.
Almost four years ago, I had a confrontation with Burgess on TV.
And I'll slow down.
Wait, you had a confrontation.
Wait, you had a confrontation with what?
With Burgess and Owens.
I had a confrontation where we were talking about kneeling, Sean.
And I came on your show as well, Sean.
Yeah, okay.
I was still brainwashed.
I was completely brainwashed and Burgess started seeing Marxists, and he was using these terms that I really didn't even understand because I have been brainwashed.
And as I start doing more and more research, I realized that I was dead wrong on that TV screen.
And I apologize to you, brother.
But what you taught me, what you taught me was the fact that if we don't start listening to men, to wise men, our wise men like Leo, our wise men like Burgess and you, Sean.
You gotta teach a population right now.
This is a call to action.
It's not just about talking to who's listening to us.
You heard what they're doing on the TV screens in this mainstream media.
I teach kids in underserved public schools.
I run programs and I fund programs.
And to see the fact that these public schools are spending 20, 25,000 per kid per year, yet these young black kids can't even read and write.
We got a huge issue of the city.
Hey, you what by the way, you know how bad it gets, Jack?
Guess what?
The third highest per capita city in America spending per student on education is the city of Baltimore.
Baltimore.
What percentage?
I'll let you guys all venture a guess.
Leo might know the answer because he he's he's he watches me uh more closely.
What percentage of kids in those 13 public high schools do you believe are proficient in let's start with math?
What percentage do you think?
I'll say I'll say under I'll say under 15 or 10 percent, under 15%.
What do you think, Jack?
I think it's 38%, and I do work in the in that community, and it's terrible.
What do you think, Burgess?
Burgess, you're thinking I think though, I think those 13 in Baltimore is zero.
Zero proficiency in math, particularly.
There's not one child proficient in math.
Not one, not one.
This is our national treasure.
This is our future.
Not one, Jack.
No, I'll tell you right.
You know what?
Uh, being a former school teacher, that's an embarrassment.
That's an outright embarrassment.
I want to be as clear as possible.
And we have to, you know, we're talking to an audience that's already for Trump.
We got to get in those battleground states.
Back to Craig Melvin.
A black man asking another black man if he's being paid.
What is the impression there?
It's trying to accuse Bernard of being a sellout.
This type of mindset being used by Democrats and white liberals is embarrassing and ridiculous.
I gotta get myself on those networks to challenge these guys because we gotta get the margin of victory in these battleground states in favor of Donald Trump.
Because we're talking to the to the to to the to our own choir right now.
We gotta make sure Democrats and people of color understand that they have to stop drinking the Kool-Aid like I did, because I've been in battles with you guys for for years, all three of you.
And I woke up and I am I am clear-minded and Burgess.
I want you to react to what Jack just said though about I thought that was powerful what he said to you.
Anyway, you know it's interesting because I reflect back on that.
That's why I have so much respect for Jack.
Uh, and and here's what I want, I want America to recognize.
We had a very, very positive moment.
Jack, Leo, and myself were all once Democrats.
But we woke up.
Why?
Because and our growth, we were taught critical thinking skills.
We're we're starting to talk to ask those questions why.
I'm I'm gonna say that.
We have black Americans that wakes up across the country.
And as we as we bring back our community from the hard left, from the socialist and Marxists, my promise is this be aware.
As we bring our community back, we bring our country back.
It would be black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and those who've in the past been used by the left that's gonna truly bring back our country to the greatness that it should be.
Because as we wake up, they have no place else to go.
We will we will draw ourselves education to say the industry and the family like no others because we understand we're going to be hopeless.
And once you give hopeless people hope, watch it out.
They will be the greatest advocates for Americans.
And I tell you what, I'm I'm proud of all you guys on this on this uh on this call, because we represent the future of our nation as we wake up to what the hard left has always done in our country to try to destroy us.
And after all these decades, they're finding out we have a president who's pulling back the curtain and they're going crazy.
I'm talking to three African American men that have have made it to the pinnacle of their careers, that are amazing men that also are are you know that they believe as I do in God, the creator.
You know, what do we believe in?
Natural rights that were endowed by this creator.
You know, the thing that Joe Biden talks about, we hold these truths to be self-evident, all things are uh that all men and women are created uh uh by the thing, you know, the thing endowed by our creator with inalienable rights, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
Guys, let me tell you one thing.
If you don't have safety, security, law and order, and you have the disastrous public school system, so as we do in all of these cities we're talking about.
Well, guess what?
The rungs of the ladder to success are dead and gone.
And we owe it to every child in this country, our national treasure in every city to keep them safe and make sure they can do reading, writing, math, and know some history.
It's not that complicated.
Are you a paid campaign surrogate?
Are you being compensated?
Let me be clear.
You get paid to shape a liberal marriage.
You get paid to attack this president.
I don't get a dime for this president.
I don't get a dime from the campaign.
You only ask me that because I don't fit your narrative.
All right, as we continue, Burgess Owens, Jack Brewer and at the Leo Tyrrell uh with us.
All right, let me get to a call here.
We'll give people want to weigh in on this.
Uh Michelle is in North Carolina.
We'll be watching North Carolina early in 95 days.
Michelle, glad you called.
Say hi to Burgess, Jack, and Leo.
Hello, man.
It is such a pleasure and an honor to talk with you.
I have to completely agree.
Here in North Carolina, we desperately need your prayers and we need motivation.
Um, I would say a couple of things.
One is absolutely the educational system in the United States has become just as strong of a leftist arm and a leftist voice as the mainstream media.
And I think that it's time for us to take back our schools in order for us to take back America.
And I also wanted to speak out as the um uh talking about the funeral um for um for yesterday that um that uh Obama went to speak to, and I just felt like it's really important for us to remember what what has made America great is the opportunity that we have in America,
and what we need to start focusing on is men and women who have overcome great adversity to become honest, law-abiding, honorable citizens in our nation.
And it doesn't matter the color of our skin, it doesn't matter what political party that we're in.
But in order for us to be united as a nation, they should be focusing on what makes an American an American and what makes people great and what unites us is when we all use the gifts and the talents and the passions that God has given to us and we use them to serve in our communities.
It's not about us, it's not about each individual.
And I'm telling you, this victimization and this lying and this pitting everybody against one another, it's sad to me.
It's sad that at 9-11, when you look at the atrocity that happened in 9-11 and the difficulties that we faced, we came together as Americans, and we were proud to be Americans, and we were proud and thankful for the blessing that it is to be a citizen of this nation.
And in just 19 short years, we are once again going back to what we came from in the 1950s, to what all these great civil rights activists fought for, and they were willing to lay down Their lives for for people to be treated as human beings, made in the image of God, and we are all one human race.
And so this this is this is it.
This is the most important election of our lifetime.
Uh I couldn't say it any better, and I agree with that.
Uh I'm speechless.
Let me let me well, let me ask.
You know, we have every two, four years.
I I went through the history last night and earlier today.
We have the you know, the division, the the race card played.
I'm sick of it, because if any conservative that is racist, I want nothing to do with that person.
Nothing.
I have no use for ignorant and stupid uh people.
Uh and with that said, but I also believe we all all are endowed by our creator.
We all have education from the Latin means to bring forth from within.
That means God put it there.
Now, how do we get it out of uh out of these young kids?
Well, you get them out of these failing public schools and they won't even let you out, Burgess.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, here's the thing to look to the last the person just speaking a minute ago.
You know what we've always done great, and when we realize that we're in a fight, we have we have a nation that's just that is uh we we're we're eternal optimists.
We'll go out and dream with Bill, we're making things happen.
We sometimes forget we're at risk at all times, until we have a 9-11 or Pearl Harbor or what's happening right now.
What's happening today is gonna be the most uniting factor for the independence.
Republicans and the Democrats who love our country, the BNSC who hates industry, who hates the middle class, who hates uh educational kids.
It's always the same party.
It's always the same leadership.
The the hard radical left.
So I democratic friends, let's have a conversation about how to move our country forward.
Let's come together for once you know what we're not gonna worry about party or politics, politicians.
We're gonna work about values and principles first.
We put that first, put out kids first, and I think we're gonna come together in 22 the greatest uh uh uh turning points in our country's history.
We're gonna win back the house, get uh sit with some backbone, and allow our president to put politics.
All right, I gotta take a break here, but uh that's the fourth congressional district Utah, uh Burgess Owens, uh Jack Brewer, uh amazing, amazing comments you made today.
Thank you.
Leo 2.0.
Um how great was it, by the way, that I connected you on air with the president of the United States.
By the way, I never got a thank you.
You're welcome.
Our welcome you or text you, but I was so shocked.
I'm feeling shocked.
By the way, hey, Jack and and Burgess, you would think I would have got a hey Hannity, thanks a lot.
You know, not even a word, not even a peep at a Leo.
Oh my god.
I was shocked.
Oh my god.
Oh man, all right.
All right, love you all.
God bless you all, and uh thanks for all you're doing for the country.
You're amazing people, all of you.
Just uh four days, that's Tuesday.
We launched next week.
A lot of stuff we're doing, a lot of appearances pretty much everywhere, a lot of things that you can participate in, all the information on Hannity.com, uh the book on Amazon.com as well.
Uh excited to to be able to connect with as many of you as possible.
Uh also uh just ninety-five days till election day.
So we have been following what is the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in history.
The person's been most dogged about this from day one and never took his foot off the gas is John Solomon.
We're gonna get to in a second.
He now is his new website, by the way, just the news and his new book is out, by the way.
And anyway, so you have Senator Ron Johnson, Senator Charles Grassley sending letters this week to the CIA, the State Department, the director of national intelligence.
Um, and what they are now demanding is that they're signaling the scope of their probes has now expanded with recent revelations.
We've had a lot of them.
And we'll go through all of this in great detail in just a minute.
Um, but first I just want to start with this.
There's something going on, as we mentioned earlier in the week.
All of the things that were said about Christopher Steele, we now know that everybody knew early, before even the first Pfizer application, that Steele was not to be trusted.
I mean, Steele himself telling the the State Departments, Kathleen Kavlack, that uh he had a political agenda, and that was to see that Donald Trump's not elected.
Uh we now know from the subsource that, yeah, oh boy, yeah, that was bar talk.
And now we've learned from documents that in fact in August, when supposedly the the presidential campaign of Donald Trump was getting a defense briefing that it was really just a ruse.
It was it was literally Operation Crossfire Hurricane, uh delving into uh whether they can get information on Donald Trump incriminating him with Russia when there was no suggestion evidence in any way, shape, matter, or form.
And it got worse from there.
We know from notes of struck that he knew it was BS, but they all did it anyway.
We know that documents were altered.
We know that people were warned.
Anyway, this is James Baker.
Uh oh, and it turns out that this the main source was from the Brookings Institute, had been there for a while.
Uh not from Russia.
But James Baker lying on this cut we're gonna play, and then of course, Comey steel dossier was the fact that convinced the lawyers to move forward with the FISA application.
He knew it was false and was warned repeatedly it was false.
Another James Comey lie.
Listen.
So what is your view of the way the d the d the FBI interacted with Steele and how we should understand what his role was here?
That's a big question.
So um look, the investigation was not predicated on the basis of the information that Christopher Steele gave to us in the form of the dossier.
That is just not was not my understanding at the time and has never been my understanding.
So just to say that flat out.
Uh Steele at the time, my understanding was that he was thought to be a reliable source that had a r had had a prior relationship with the FBI and brought this information to us.
Look, with I don't know how to say this other than we're not stupid, right?
The FBI.
We're not stupid.
You take the information and then you try to vet it.
And that my recollection is we spent a lot, we the Bur Bureau, uh, the folks in the counterintelligence division, spent a lot of time trying to vet that information line by line.
Well, you don't see a difference between it's part of a broader mosaic and it was the ascent it played an essential role in establishing probable cause.
It was one of a bunch of different facts that were assembled to apply to the court.
It was the one that convinced the lawyers that they had enough now with that added to the pile to go forward.
I guess the question is it seemed that you were minimizing the role of the of the steel dossier, and he's saying it's a lot more important than you let on.
Okay, if I was, then I'm sorry that I did that, but I meant it it was one part of the presentation to the court.
It was not a huge part of the presentation to the court, but it was the fact, according to his report that convinced the lawyers to go forward.
Well, as deputy director said before the House Intelligence Committee and elsewhere, but for the dirty Russian dossier, there would not have been a Pfizer warrant application.
That it was uh critical to have it.
All right, here with us, uh John Solomon is with us, Fox News contributor, editor-in-chief, just the news.com.
Uh okay, and then the comments by Grassley and Ron Johnson, uh, the dossier was spying.
Yeah, there's no doubt, Sean.
Uh, you know, people have been saying it for a long time.
Remember where we were 2018 when Devin Yune suggested it was spying and people were mocking him.
Now everybody realizes it was spying.
They were recording the words that the president was asking in his briefing, including comments about his son that has nothing to do with intelligence gathering.
They were spying on Donald Trump.
They were spying on Mike Flynn and the media, the Democrats gave us a bad story for three years.
The good news is if you listen to Sean Hannity, you have had it right all this time.
But uh now the most important thing.
This escalation, these new document requests from uh Grassley and Johnson, they're going somewhere where no one else was willing to go before.
And that is what did the CIA know?
What was the CIA doing with uh uh the FBI, what warnings were they giving the FBI that they were off course, and perhaps the most exciting of all the areas.
If the Devin Nunez classified report, the report that analyzed what's known as the intelligence community assessment, the conclusion that Russia was really trying to help Trump and hurt Hillary, which a lot of people now dispute.
Revealing, I believe, that there was dissension below Brendan that this was not an accurate conclusion.
If that gets declassified, because that's where Johnson and Grasse are going, that could be a September bombshell uh in this.
Explain this in more detail.
Because they're they're looking to expand their hunt for the documents that would shed more light on the abuses and demanding evidence be turned over from the CIA and the sec and the State Department.
What exactly specifically are they looking for and what do they suspect that they that's out there that they can find?
Well, you've had him on your show, and I've quoted him many times in my story.
Dan Hoffman, the former CIA station chief for Moscow, one of America's premier uh Russian spy tradecraft experts.
He knows the Russians better than anyone.
He has said time and again, the ICA is wrong, that there's no chance that uh Putin was picking Trump over Clinton.
His goal was to just mess up American democracy and turn everybody against each other.
It wasn't an on-off help Trump hurt Hillary operation.
It's not how the Russians do it.
Well, we now have the evidence, right?
We now know from a footnote that was declassified in the inspector general's report that the Russians intelligence service was feeding Christopher Steele dirt on Donald Trump to dirty up Donald Trump and it was false dirt.
But if you were trying to help Donald Trump win the election, like John Brendan claimed, why would you be giving Hillary Clinton dirt to smear Donald Trump?
That conclusion, that ICA conclusion, I believe is going to turn out to be wrong based on the evidence.
And Devin Nunez wrote a 60-page report with his staff that I think will picks it apart.
Takes the CIA's analysis and says, wait a second, buddies, you don't have it right.
If that comes forward now, the last vestige of what Democrats have been holding on to in this whole uh Russia collusion thing will fall like a bad bowling ball on your toe, and and there will be nothing that the Democrats have left in their narrative that turned out to be true.
All right.
That the that to me, we already know none of it's true.
We knew that it was it was never verifiable.
But if you now go back and with this new declassified information that they actually were you uh using as a ruse this this meeting with Donald Trump, then candidate in August of 2016 and and General Flynn, and they weren't there to brief anybody, they were there to gather information to see if they talked at all about Russia.
We're the origins of this fantasy.
Who began all of this talk about Russia?
Now that we know that under oath in the House Intelligence Committee that every single person and clapper and Yates and everyone on down the line, uh we know Struck, we know Comey, all at different points we've caught them all saying, yeah, we don't have anything.
Well, that's a great point.
And I think one of the most important things is uh in my book, Fallout, we wind back the date.
We've all been talking about March 2015 when MIFS would meets with George Papadopoulos in that mysterious set of meetings, that that's the origins of the crossfire hurricane.
Devin Nunez has been saying for a long time, no, no, I think it's earlier.
I think it's December.
I think he's going to turn out to be right again.
Why do we why do I think that?
In in the book I did with Seamus Brunner, Fallout.
We now know that in July 2015, the ignition point for the Russia uh investigation, the the uh opposition research that eventually becomes fusion GPS and and uh Christopher Steele, it's ignited in June of 2015 when Hillary Clinton's campaign does a secret poll.
And that poll is designed to identify what's her biggest liability going into the election.
Is it Whitewater?
Was it the Asia fundraising scale?
Vince Foster's suicide, Benghazi, the email scandal, and they do this poll and they're shocked.
Why?
Because of all those things didn't register as the number one impediment to the presidency.
It was the finding that she and her husband cashed in on the Russia policy by taking $500,000 checks, the Clinton cash stuff, the stuff that Peter Schweitzer injected into the public in his great book.
That was the number one impediment to Hillary Clinton's uh rise to the presidency.
Fifty-three percent of the voters in that secret poll said that was the number one reason they wouldn't vote to her.
So they set out, according to my interviews with Clinton campaign officials, to neutralize Russia.
I think you're gonna find out that they started Russia opposition research in the fall of 2015 and that lots of people involved in it.
Stroke Talbot's name keeps coming up.
Cody Scherrer's name keeps coming up.
Some of these State Department officials' names keep coming up.
I think the the plot to get the president goes back earlier, and a lot more people, and I think at the end of the day, Christopher Steele sort of becomes the final recipient of this research, And he's the guy that walks it in because he's got the MI6 badge in his in his resume.
I think that's where we're headed in this fall.
That's what we're going to learn in this fall, Sean.
You know, it's amazing.
Uh the only problem is that we keep saying, okay, we got no all this new stuff to investigate.
Based on what we already know, have confirmed, there is enough evidence to indict anybody.
Look, there was enough evidence to indict Hillary Clinton on the espionage act and on obstruction of justice with deleted emails and bleach bitted and hammers, but but nothing happened.
We've had referrals for Comey McCabe and and so many others that were caught lying under oath.
There's no pre-dawn raids, John Solomon, uh, with uh 29 men in tactical gear and CNN cameras happening to any of them, just the opposite.
I mean, uh, a part of me is looking at the breathtaking arrogance of all of the main players involved and how they're all cashing in with television contracts and book deals and and I I just have to wonder to myself uh because I had sources say that they're all very heavily lawyered up.
I mean, it almost projects a certain either a level of confidence or a level of stupidity and arrogance that they don't think anything's ever gonna happen.
If you have a lot of legal bills suddenly facing you, you need to go get more work to pay for them.
So maybe some of these MSNBC consulting jobs and books they're writing are designed to pay the legal bills that they're about to incur.
I get a sense from everything I'm watching that there's uh enormous amount of sh ground shaking beneath them right now.
There are really tough questions being asked of witnesses right now, uncomfortable questions for people who worked inside the FBI.
I think the it period just before, just after Labor Day is gonna pair it where either John Durham's gonna shoot or he's gonna put his gun back in the holster and go away.
What I think is very important.
Johnson and Grassley's hunt for documents is so they're hitting the most sensitive stuff that there is.
They're hitting the most sensitive stuff there is that the CIA and the FBI has been trying to hold on, and I believe President Trump is given the go-ahead for these agencies to say no more holding back.
Anything Johnson and Grassley want, I want it on their decks in the next couple weeks.
That coupled with Durham, I think is going to make for a great and interesting September in Washington.
It's not gonna be August, it's gonna be September.
Well, I think some of it's gonna happen in August, but I think the Durham, I've been saying right around Labor Day, which is September.
Okay.
I think Durham is kind of surfacing there.
I think Grassley and Johnson could have stuff as as early as next week.
Based on what I'm hearing going on in these agencies, people were shocked when they got these letters this week.
This is a big escalation.
Gotta take a break.
John Solomon fall out, uh nuclear bribes, Russian spies, the Washington Lies that enrich the Clinton and Biden dynasties.
Well, here we are.
Now I'd like to know before the 2020 vote what happened in the 2016 vote.
All right, as we continue, John Solomon is with us uh just the news.com and his new book Fallout uh on Amazon.com and uh bookstores everywhere.
All right, so walk us through what you think this process is gonna be.
I mean, the attorney general kind of dropped a bomb in the hearing this week when he said, Oh, yeah, we will know about where we exactly are with the Durham report, but that doesn't mean we're gonna convene a grand jury and and make the indictments that I think need to be made in this case.
Yeah, I think the attorney general has been incredibly consistent.
He's been saying by the end of summer, the activity I'm seeing in my reporting is consistent with that.
I I think the most important words that uh attorney General Barr uttered this week was the bogus Russia investigation.
He called it bogus.
The chief law enforcement officer of the land is calling bogus what other people poised upon us as real for years.
And that what does that mean?
And why aren't these these players see why are they so arrogant and not look?
If it was me, I think I shut my mouth and and exercise my right to remain silent if I was a lot of these guys.
Well, you've been you've been advising them that for a long time.
They didn't take your advice.
Listen, the New York Times will be wrong, Sean Hannity Show will be right.
Donald Trump will be right, he was spied on the Democrats will be wrong.
Devin Nunez was right, Adam Schiff was wrong.
Now the final chapter uh is going to be that there are going to be accountability.
And I think the next four weeks are the weeks to watch.
I think there'll be another round of revelations and documents prompted by Grassley and Johnson, followed by whatever Durham's gonna do.
We're gonna head into the election with the answers that we've been asking for.
Will we be satisfied?
I think we gotta wait and see what the what the grand jury says.
But uh, I do think that we're headed into the final phase.
All right, John Solomon, JustinNews.com, fall out his new book.
Appreciate the update.
He's been all over this since March of uh 2017.
We began this journey.
Unbelievable.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back.
We'll get to your calls straight ahead.
All right, that's on Tuesday, and we've got a lot of announcements.
We put them all up on uh Hannity.com, and we're working really hard finding ways that we're going to be able to connect with you.
Uh I view this as the tipping point election in our lifetime.
I don't know, I don't believe we'll ever recover if the stated plans, agenda of Biden and Bolshevik Bernie, his economics are and his new green deals are AOC and Schumer and Pelosi and his guns are Bozo Aurora, you know, the gun confiscation guy are ever implemented.
Everything is at stake.
Liberty, freedom, socialism versus capitalism, tax cuts, raising taxes through the roof, burdensome regulation versus a free market capitalist environment, energy independence, the judges that are appointed to the Supreme Court and other high courts, it's all in play.
Amnesty, the United Sanctuary States of America, or law and order and border security.
How we deal with foreign countries, peace through strength, or well, we'll bribe Mullers in Iran.
It's all in jeopardy.
And by the way, I don't even think Joe is halfway there.
Uh anyway, we put it up on uh Hannity.com.
We have a lot of events.
Uh Linda, by the way, you've done a great job.
Thank you for organizing all of this.
And we also have our interactive election map too on Hannity.com.
You want to talk about those two things?
So, yes, we have a bunch of stuff going on online.
And, you know, like you said, we want to keep the audience as involved as possible and make sure that they know what we're doing.
So for everybody who's listening today, if you sign up for Fox Nation, I believe it's a two-year subscription, you get a copy of Sean's book.
Um, there's going to be a podcast on Newt's uh podcast Newt's World, and then Sunday night is going to be Life Liberty Live In with Mark Levin.
And then Monday.
It's going to be awesome.
And so, you know, we had all these, we had all these events planned.
And just so folks know, I'm I'm doing it as fast as I can to get all the information up for the live events for the for the book tour.
It's going to be a virtual book tour.
And uh, we're going to be getting to as many cities as we can, and we're going to announce them where you can go to get your tickets, the copy of the book, etc.
And the interactive map is up there so that if you need to know about early voting or what's happening in your state and who the candidates are and all that good.
How to do absentee balloting or the mail-in voting.
We want to make it's critical that you know how to do that this election because they're hoping that you make a mistake.
So we want to make sure that you don't.
So all that information is going to be on handy.com.
I'll be updating it all weekend, so check it out.
And definitely get your copy of Live for Your Die.
It's on sale now and goes live on Tuesday the fourth.
Yeah, I'm very excited about it.
And my first book in 10 years.
Um, it's amazing.
We have so many good friends, and they've all, you know, we've now given the book to select people.
Um, it's embargoed till Tuesday.
And um the feedback has been phenomenal.
But to me, you know, I wish I could get into the detail.
The reason that I decided over a year ago, and the working title originally was Live Free or America Dies, and I put that in Latin at the very bottom of the cover, is because I just knew this was turning into the biggest choice election.
I didn't know that that Joe, I always thought, kind of believed that, you know, well, first could Joe survive, and if he did, you know, embracing Bolshevik Bernie's economy.
Uh are you kidding me?
Uh AOC's New Green Deal Madness.
Uh Beto Bozo Rourke is his his guns are.
What has Joe Biden done in 47 years in the swamp that you can say is successful?
Because I can give you chapter and verse, and as a matter of fact, that's in the book of what Donald Trump has done in less than four years.
And uh to see the the group that he is now empowered as his kitchen cabinet, if you will, and the policies he's stating, they will destroy the country as we know it.
You know, no energy, really?
Oh, okay, the lifeblood of the world's economy.
You really believe everything's gonna be free?
Do you really believe government, the the AOC new green deal, free, free, free, free, free, free, free, free, free for the minute you're born to the minute you die.
Yeah, but you know what the problem is, Sean?
It's the definition of free.
What does that actually mean?
I can answer that.
That's the crux of that.
Every time you look for security from government, You give up your freedom.
And by the way, in the the my chapter, The History of Socialism, designed after the rise of radicals and the Democrats Fantasyland 2020 agenda.
I go into chapter and verse, the words that they're using and the things they're promising.
Guess what?
It was all these things have been tried and failed in spectacular fails in the past.
And from the Bolshevik Revolution to Mao's Revolution to, you know, look at East Germany versus West Germany.
You, we, the people can stop this.
You're the ultimate jury in ninety-five days.
This this vote will matter.
Uh anyway, up on Hannity.com, and uh all the stuff that we're doing and places you can come and and join us for special events is up there.
Uh I give a credit to Linda, our entire team.
They've been working so hard on this.
We've been we have Greg Jarrett's interview with him for Fox Nation.
We're doing the great one, Mark Levin on Sunday night, Life Liberty Levin.
Uh we're gonna be doing Bill O'Reilly.
We've done so many of our talk radio friends.
We did Mark Simone today.
We've I can't even mention everybody anymore.
It's I'm I'm like it's I'm in a fog.
But wonderful friends, Newt's podcast.
That was a very personal interview with me and Newt.
We go back since to nineteen ninety.
We give our history.
I'll tell you the impact I tell I talk in that interview, the impact that he had on me, and how he made me a smarter person.
He made me crave more knowledge and intellect and and help help develop a plan for me to get there.
Um and anyway, it's this is a big moment for the country for our kids and our grandkids.
Anyway, uh let's go to our phones.
All the information on Hannity.com.
Let's say hi to it's MJ in Florida.
Boy, we'll be watching Florida really closely, especially Broward and Palm Beach County in 95 days.
How are you, MJ?
Uh for five sean.
Uh well, thank you for thank you for being with us.
We appreciate you uh all my friends down in Florida.
The good news is I hear that we have a flattening of the curve.
Now, when you have the flattening, meaning cases are beginning, new cases are reducing, and you have an increase in the death, that usually means that if the pattern holds, then you have a a decline, and then you have a precipitous decline.
If if the pattern holds, that's what we're hoping now in the next couple of weeks for Florida.
Yeah, well, we're getting a lot, uh, a lot more cases being reported because of testing, but we have a lot uh younger people that are not having very many uh uh symptoms, so pretty much asomatic at this point, symptomatic at this point.
Yeah.
Well, Governor DeSantis from the beginning protected the elderly population.
He deserves a lot of credit because let me just say this.
I think the number of deaths in Florida don't match even just one of the worst days in New York because of the idiotic executive order about nursing homes in New York.
DeSantis did the opposite.
He protected the elderly population in Florida.
And we have a huge uh elderly population, especially down where I live.
And um, I just wanted to say when you were mentioning New Gangridge, perhaps we should do another contract with America like you guys did back in 1994.
We have plenty of time to do it.
I know it was usually done during uh, you know, t uh midterm election, but I think if Trump did uh a contract with America, maybe even in particular black America, where he can say instead of what the hell do you have to lose, how about what the hell do you have to gain and really spell out the opportunity zones and all the wonderful things that he's doing for our country, all of us collectively and how the Democrats try to do it divisively.
Well, it's sad that this is you know what they do every two, four years.
We saw it on on display.
You know, it's funny I had a couple of friends of mine say to me, you know, you've been talking about this for years, and you said at the beginning of the year that this is gonna happen, and there it happens.
He goes, How they go, how do you know?
I said, It's not hard to figure out.
It's the same playbook every two and four years.
It doesn't change.
And um, but their policies, it might have worked electorally, but those policies in these cities that we talk about, well, what have they done for safety, security, law, order, and education?
How's that Obamacare thing working out?
You know, it's uh it's sad.
We are one united people.
One, as the president says in his rallies, one glorious nation under God.
We're supposed to work together.
If you want to pursue happiness, you need safety, security, law order, and you need an education to to to have a shot.
And we're denying so many of our fellow Americans that shot, and these idiots keep getting re-elected.
It drives me nuts.
All right, MJ, thank you.
Arizona Rich will be watching you too in uh 95 days.
Arizona's crucial this year.
Sean, thanks for having me on.
And just to tell you a little bit about myself, I I was in law enforcement for 32 and a half years, seven and a half with the New York City Transit Police Department and 25 years with the Tucson Police Department.
And what I wanted to talk about today is what's not being told, the things, the good things that cops do every day.
That's a great point.
Well, thir first of all, thank you for your service.
Yeah, I you know, even listen, I'm gonna be honest.
I'm glad we were right, and we've been vindicated over and over again, and we're about to have a lot more vindication uh as it relates to everything that the seventh floor, the those that abuse power that were corrupt and are and the premier law enforcement agency in the in the entire world and the premier intelligence agencies in the entire world.
Um but I always made a distinction, didn't I, uh Rich, about the 99% and the 1%.
The same with police really the George Floyd cop was was the one percent.
That's not the 99%.
And you know, Sean, uh some of the things, I'll tell you some of the things that we did in Tucson.
Every year for Christmas, we had a shop with a cop.
And these we were police officers.
This wasn't mandated by the agency.
This is something we did as police officers for our community.
And it was the minority community.
And every year we would sponsor uh 300 kids, under in underprivileged kids, and spend 150 bucks on each kid to do Christmas shopping with them.
During the holidays, we provided food baskets for for poor people.
During school, we we supplied back to school supplies.
We we also did fingerprinting for young kids with the fear that if they were ever kidnapped or gone missing, we'd have an a way to identify them.
We had their medical records, so if they needed medications, we could get medications for them.
There were so many things that we were doing.
I mean, Sean, when you look at it, most a lot of police officers work 10 hour shifts.
We spend more of our waking hours in the communities that we serve than we do with our family.
Just think about it.
I had law enforcement in my family, extended cousins, everybody, so many people.
I nearly became a New York police officer myself.
Nobody I I've told the story, but I haven't told it lately.
But my mom works 16 hours pretty much every day or you know, entire adult life as a prison guard.
My dad, a family court probation guy with a waiter on the weekends.
You know, the the law enforcement I knew were dedicated, they were willing to risk their lives to serve and protect the community and the and the communities they served.
And it's not an easy job.
And by the way, an arrest on video when anyone's resisting it anyway, probably is never gonna look good.
Never.
Um but with that said, then you have that one percent.
Look, look at the result of what what happened in the George Floyd case.
That can't happen again.
These guys need more training.
We we don't need less money, we need more training for police.
So that you know, I I've talked about this before.
Tell me how much training you got, Rich, because I train, I'm uh I've been in mixed martial arts now for seven years.
I'm just a student, but somebody in handcuffs, if I manipulate two two little fingers a certain way, stop breaking them.
Just I will have full compliance.
The man was screaming, I can't breathe, sir.
Sir, he kept saying, sir, the crowd is saying you're killing this man.
Stop.
He was in handcuffs.
You didn't need to put your foot on his neck.
The most vulnerable part of the human anatomy.
And but but with that said, that does not justify what where we are now, and rocks and bricks and bottles and Molotov cocktails and knives and guns and and canes and bats and hockey sticks and frozen water bottles, either.
That doesn't justify the 2,000 cops hurt in all of this.
We can't have that.
I'll give you the last word.
No.
And you know, when you talk about uh what our training is is we have the Arizona uh uh post.
It's the uh police officers stand in and training, and they mandate the training that we have to do every year, so many hours every year.
And it's called advanced officer training, firearms training, defensive tactics training, uh training in in new laws that come up.
Um force continuum.
You start out with uh talk trying to talk someone down.
Then it comes to to empty hand control, soft hand control.
Then you go to impact weapons, you go to pepper spray, and the last thing is deadly physical force.
And you know about pressure points and things like that.
That's all part of the force continuum that police officers train.
And I'm sure you know about that through your martial arts training about all of that stuff.
Listen, I I it I I'm I'm a novice really compared to some of the people I train with.
And by the way, the greatest thing about people that teach firearm instruction or or martial arts instruction, they're they love sharing their knowledge, their passion.
It's a passion.
But uh anyway, you know we need more and we need more support for police the 99% like on 9-11 or the when Steve Scalise was shot going into an open ball field as a target.
