Violence Continues to Spread - October 13th, Hour 3

Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
Do you want President Biden to run again in 2024?
No, I've been very clear.
I'd like to see a generational change.
Should Joe Biden run again in 2024?
I think that should be a decision made by Joe Biden.
And it's not a matter, anyone's choice other than his.
Let me start off with two words.
Made in America.
Made in America.
That's not hyperbole.
I'm not joking about that, as you know.
Gas prices too high.
Mortgage rates going up.
Inflation on the rise.
Time to vote out the Dems on November the 8th.
Get him out of here.
T-minus 26 days until Election Day.
Yeah, we are coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a controversial.
Sean Hannity, you the new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour, 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, 26 days till the all-important midterm elections.
One issue that is now standing out as a top issue for voters.
Law and order, safety and security is top of mind.
And we talked about the record homicide rates yesterday, about 7,400 annually.
And then when you break it down between blue cities and blue states and red cities and red states, you know, a little over 700 in the red states and 6,300 in blue states.
Why?
Because they've adopted the insanity of defund, dismantle, no bail laws, and they're letting out hardened criminals.
Why are we advocating the release of convicted murderers?
You know, since 2009 on Hannity, my TV show, I've scrolled the names of people you've never heard of, people that have been shot, shot and killed in Chicago.
And I scrolled it because I couldn't understand why.
Every weekend, all the violence, all the shootings, all the murders, and Obama and Biden never lifted a finger the entire eight years they were in office to get this under control and to save lives.
Because that's what it's about, saving lives.
And it makes no sense to me.
Now it's gotten far worse and far more radical.
Anyway, there are people in Chicago that are putting together a program.
They want this violence and madness to stop.
Bishop E.W. Jackson is the president, founder of the Stan Foundation.
Our friend Sergeant Trey Penny is with us.
He's the president of the National Fallen Officer Foundation, 22-year retired Dallas police sergeant.
My friend and colleague from the Fox News channel, Gianno Caldwell, is also with us.
His 18-year-old brother was shot and killed in Chicago in a shooting, and he knows firsthand the tragedy of loss.
We invite you, we welcome all of you to the program.
Giano, I want to start with you.
You're not only a colleague, but you are a friend.
And I need to tell people that this tragedy of losing your brother has changed the trajectory of your life and even your career.
And you're doing phenomenal work to make sure that our streets are safer and you're putting your own life at risk doing it.
And I've been watching your work.
I'm amazed by it.
But you lost your 18-year-old brother in Chicago, and nobody really cares.
That's the sad part of this.
Nobody's ever heard of the names.
They can't politicize it.
So why bother talking about all the people that die and are shot every weekend?
That's right.
And I want to thank you, my friend.
And just to let your listeners know, Sean Hannity has been a godsend in my life since my brother was murdered.
I've been talking to him on a regular, consistent basis, just a text, how are you doing?
How's your family doing?
Are you getting arrested?
And it's meant everything to me.
So I want to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for you being you, Sean, because I know it has nothing to do with my father.
I'm so sorry.
You are.
It breaks my heart.
I appreciate you.
No, I thank you so much.
Yes, Sean, it's June 24th on 114th Street, South Vincent, on the south side of Chicago.
My baby brother, Christian, was murdered.
He was not the target.
He was standing outside of a venue.
They were after one guy, and they happened to shoot everyone that was outside, including a woman.
My brother was the only one who did not make it.
He was murdered.
And since then, I've been out for justice, not just for my brother, but for the victims of violence across the nation.
And I got to tell you, Sean, it is a tough fight.
This is the hardest fight I've ever taken on in my life.
And it's led me down some very interesting roads and paths that I never anticipated for myself.
Even recently, if any Fox viewers are listening, which I'm sure they are, you've seen the coverage of me in Washington, D.C., asking about the crime crisis from people like Chuck Schumer, Monique Presley from the squad, Elaine Omar from the squad, many folks who supported the defund the police movement, and they were silent.
Just to paint the picture for our audience, you went to Washington, you had a camera, you had a microphone.
It was a five-minute package.
I watched it three times, and Fox and friends ran it at least twice.
And I watched this, and I'm like, I'm blown away.
Nobody would answer your question.
You lost your brother, and you're asking them, they're lawmakers.
They have the ability to change things, and they won't even give you the time of day.
That's right, Sean.
And many of them knew who I was, who I am, rather.
I was on the hill when people were walking up to me saying, sorry about your brothers.
This isn't some hidden secret.
I'm asking the question, not simply for some political reasons, because this isn't about left or right anymore.
This is about humanity.
Policies pushed by certain people to defund the police movement has led to policy violence, dead people in the streets.
We see crime is up in Chicago overall, 37%.
Just last year alone, kids 16 and under, almost 300 of them shot.
This is an epidemic.
This is a state of emergency, not just in Chicago, but across the country.
Not only that, go ahead.
These kids are our national treasure.
They have names.
Their lives matter.
And here we're losing our national treasure.
I'll let you finish your thought.
And absolutely.
And to that point, their lives matter.
We talk about them pushing to defund the police movement and saying black lives matter.
But what I saw when I was on Capitol Hill, black lives didn't matter to them.
It's black boats that matter to them.
And the Democratic Party has used it as a platform simply to get black votes until it became politically not popular.
When you see the polling, 77% of Americans across the country see crime as a major issue, and it has to come to an end.
But we have to hold them accountable, each and every one of them who push this narrative and has led to the destruction of lives across the country, Sean.
So this conference is taking place.
It's called the Save the Children Conference.
Bishop E.W. Jackson is the president and founder of the Stan Foundation.
Thank you for being with us, Bishop.
And probably I need a lot more prayers than anyone else on the line, so thank you ahead of time.
But in all seriousness, we're losing our national treasure, Bishop.
It's heartbreaking.
Yeah, Sean, I want to say it's an honor to be with you.
I've been watching you and listening to you for years.
Yeah, Sean, we are holding this conference in Chicago because there's a major problem in Chicago.
But as Yano said so eloquently, it's a problem across the country.
We have been chronicling the murders of innocent children across the country.
We are at 299 since 2020.
299 murdered children.
These include children like legend Talia Farrow, children killed sleeping in their beds, killed playing in their backyards, killed riding their bicycles, as his brother was, just killed, innocently carrying on with their lives.
And these bullets find them because we've got lawless thugs in the community who don't care about the value of life.
So we're holding the conference in Chicago, partnering with Pastor Corey Brooks to do it to highlight this is a problem not only in Chicago, it's a problem across the country.
And look, you're right.
I just say absolutely right.
Black Lives Matter.
The defund the police movement, dismantling the police movement has led to more black people dying in the streets of our cities, 2,500 more in 2020 than in 2019.
So if black lives really matter, as they say they do, where are they now?
Where are their voices?
Well, obviously, as Giano said, it's not about caring about the lives of black people.
By the way, all but two of these kids, all but two of them have been black.
And we don't hear any hue and cry about that.
So it's not about caring about people at all.
It's about their political agenda and their own sense of power.
And we're going there to try to offer solutions here from the community, but also as a platform to say this is happening all across the country.
And thank you, Sean, for paying attention to it.
And by the way, it's happening on Saturday, October the 15th.
That's this Saturday.
And we're going to put a link up on Hannity.com and you can RSVP and go to this if you care about the violence that's happening in every big city and small town now across the country.
Hopefully this is a great first step.
We also have our friend Trey Penny with us.
And Trey, you've been on this program for years.
We've been friends for years and we've talked about this for years.
I'm glad finally people are really saying enough is enough.
That's right, Sean.
And thank you so much for having me on.
But look, I'm actually going out there to join Bishop out there in Chicago.
And I have a strong base out there in Chicago with law enforcement and the community.
So I'm going out there to engage everyone, not only to memorialize the losses of these young kids that are being killed in the community, but I also want to empower everybody out there.
I want to give people information that they can use to advocate for themselves in their own community.
The bottom line is we can't continue to have these type of crimes in our inner city communities and have our politicians ignore them over and over again.
That can't happen.
I saw this past week when you had Chicago politicians singing the praise of an 18% decline in the murder rate in Chicago.
Now, keep in mind, Chicago has 528 murders right now.
They're dealing with 528 murders.
Last year, they had 646.
Sean, they still ranked number 10 in murders per capita.
That's nothing to say any praise about.
That's 528 people that's dead.
The bottom line is we got to go out here.
We got to empower our community, let people know that we want change.
And the only way to bring about this change is to elect the right politicians in office that are going to make sure that they are protecting our police and protecting our community, Sean.
You know, I just want, I just know we can do better.
You know, say what you will about Rudy Giuliani and put aside politics because it's not about left or right, conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican.
It's about lives.
It's a matter of life or death is what it really comes down to.
And you said that as well, Giano.
And if people would just stand back and say, we can't let this continue.
How do you let this continue?
Where is the sense of urgency when you see, I can predict right now, guys, and Giano, with a pretty high degree of accuracy, how many people are going to get shot in New York this weekend, Philly this weekend, and Chicago this weekend.
I wish I couldn't make that prediction.
I would hope that I'm wrong and nobody gets shot.
But you know, and I know that I'm right, and you could make the same prediction.
Yeah, unfortunately, that's so true.
We look at the numbers just recently in the last few weeks.
Three-year-old shot, three-year-old shot, seven-year-old shot.
We're talking about babies here, Sean.
We're not talking about people who can really even walk and talk and really have a place in this world just yet outside of their life growing.
You know, they shouldn't have to, parents shouldn't have to live in fear, but that's where we are.
I think it's so important to have a very strong community conversation.
A lot of these murders that are taking place are African Americans who are killing each other.
The sense of life has left many folks in Chicago and across the country.
They don't care about it.
They don't feel for it.
And that's an issue.
That's something that has to be talked about.
We need to get tougher on crime, whether it be with police officers being able to actually do their jobs and not have to rely on people like Mary Lori Life who implemented a no-chase policy where police officers, if they're in their cars and they're going to chase the one in their car, they got to call their supervisors.
Or if there's a criminal who's running on foot, they can't run after them in most situations.
That needs to change.
But what also needs to change is this software crime prosecutor by the name of Kim Fox, who's dropped 25,000 felony cases of rape and murder alone.
These are really important cases where people aren't getting justice.
We see just recently from July of last year up until now, 20, what, almost 300 ASAs have left her off.
We're talking about prosecutors that are needed.
They have a major workload.
They're not able to do their jobs.
We saw in last year alone of all the crime that was committed, only 12% of it led to an arrest.
Then you look at what happened on the prosecution side.
The numbers were even worse.
So things must change, but the community itself has to take accountability because these aren't people from outside of the community.
They know who these folks are oftentimes.
Things need to change.
And another message for folks who are listening across the country, because this issue is so paramount in my life now, covering this issue and ensuring that there's justice for families.
If you know of any story, a crime story where someone isn't getting justice and you think there's a bit of media attention that can make the difference, reach out to me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook at Giano Caldwell.
If you know any solutions to the crime issues, any policy that has lowered the homicide rate, the murder rate across the country, if you know of any of those things, reach out to me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook at Giano Caldwell.
We need solutions and we also need community involvement because the police cannot do it alone.
Just in Chicago, last point, they're down 1,000 detectives for the murder case load that they have.
That's how bad things are in the city of Chicago.
It's a multi-pronged failure.
Well, I want to thank all of you for what you're doing.
I want to give out the information.
We're going to put it up on Hannity.com so you don't have to, if you're driving your car, you don't have to memorize it.
It's happening this Saturday.
It's from 12 to 3.
It's in Chicago.
And it's called the Save the Children Conference.
I don't know.
Is there any charge for this, Bishop, or is it for free?
No, there's no charge.
Free attendance.
It's at the New Beginnings Church pastors by Pastor Corey Brooks, right?
Trey will be one of the people speaking.
Trey Penny will be one of the people speaking.
And by the way, Tom, one of the issues we'll deal with is also rebuilding families because long term, we've got to look at how the liberal policies of this last century decimated the black family and how we rebuild black families and create mother-father-centered homes to raise these children.
I have to run, but I'm going to tell you something.
I am praying for all of you.
Please save our kids.
I believe every child comes from God.
That's what I believe.
And every child deserves to live in safety and security.
And we need law and order to accomplish that.
God bless your work.
Thank you, Bishop.
Thank you, Trey.
And thank you, Gianno.
Appreciate you all being with us.
Good luck on the conference on Saturday.
We appreciate you all being here.
The God we serve is the God of justice, so we're going.
Amen.
We'll continue.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941.
Sean, our number, you want to join us?
This was pretty interesting.
So AOC, the squad leader, the speaker of the real speaker of the house, Pelosi, speaker in name only.
Anyway, she was doing a town hall, and Heckler's asking, you know, if she will stop nuclear war.
You got to listen to this.
Congresswoman, none of this matters unless there's a nuclear war, which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine.
Totally matters.
She's left the Democratic Party because there's no one in her husband.
Okay?
You originally voted.
You ran as an outsider.
Yet you've been voting to start this war.
You're voting to start a third nuclear war because China.
While you're playing with the lives of American citizens, you're playing with our lives.
There will be no neighbors if there's a nuclear bomb.
Wow, now AOC is getting heckled.
By the way, she should have been heckled for losing.
What was it?
Wasn't it Amazon that was going to build out all those high-paying jobs in her district?
It was.
Oh, man, that was a dumb mistake.
I mean, the deal was done.
I mean, property values were going up 50% for people.
And then she pulls the rug right out from underneath them.
Unbelievable.
All right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
Let's say hi to Wayne Central, New York.
Wayne, hi, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hi, Sean.
It's an honor talking to you, sir.
The honor's all mine.
Well, I just wanted to bring to light more the plight of people trying to pay their fuel bills this winter.
I called to get my kerosene delivery, right?
You know, I'm rural.
I'm about 30 miles from Syracuse.
We're in the country.
And kerosene is over $6 a gallon.
This is crazy.
I mean, I figured it out.
It's going to cost like $3,000 to heat our home this year for the next six months.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
That $6 a gallon.
Well, excuse me.
I do get when I called and ordered, my price was $5.90.
And because they give me a 15 cent a gallon discount because I'm an honorary discharge veteran, which is, you know, it's cool.
They don't have to do that, but they do.
So it's $5.90 for me.
So really, it's $6.05 a gallon for kerosene.
I just, you know, how do you live?
I mean, Biden and his, you know, cohorts, you know, their attack on the energy industry has just ruined our quality of life.
Listen, it doesn't matter if it's kerosene.
It doesn't matter if it's propane or natural gas.
It doesn't matter if it's heating oil.
We're going to get hammered this year.
And, you know, I was reading an article yesterday out of Germany.
Oh, get over it.
Just put two sweaters on.
We don't have to sacrifice something as basic and fundamental as heat.
You know, as human beings, we've advanced and we've created easier, more comfortable living conditions for ourselves.
Why would we want to go back?
I mean, the idea, that sounds like Jimmy Carl.
Just wear a sweater, lower your thermostat.
I don't want to lower my thermostat.
I want the temperature the way I want it as long as I'm willing to pay for it, and I don't want to pay 10 times what I paid last year.
I mean, it's so beyond frustrating.
Now, I can afford it, but there were a lot of years of my life I couldn't.
And what I remember living two years in an apartment that in my room, we did not have heat.
You can ask my sister about this, Linda.
True story.
And anyway, I bought an electric heater, and one night the blanket fell off the bed and onto the electric heater, and I wake up like choking to death because the room had filled with so much smoke.
It didn't create a flame, but it created a lot of smoke.
And it was a pretty scary thing.
This is what we're going to tell people to do stuff like this when they have heating systems that would work if they can afford the oil or the gas or the kerosene, whatever it happens to be.
Yeah, but the problem is they can afford it.
They can.
It's just that the government has decided that it's more politically expedient for them to make it harder for all of us because if we drive fear and debilitate the American people, and obviously everybody all across Europe right now is going through the same thing, then we become dependent on them.
And ultimately, that's their goal: to create a complete and total global dependency on big government and cripple any sort of free.
Germany is different.
Germany is different.
No, it's not.
It's different.
No, in this sense.
They're ahead of us.
No, they're not.
Since Merkel's been in charge?
No, no, no.
I'm making a point here.
They abandoned energy independence because they gave in to their climate alarmist cultist members years ago.
And that's when they became reliant on Vladimir Putin and were doing multi-billion dollar deals, energy deals with Putin.
And that's when Donald Trump handed Angela Merkel the white flag.
At that time, we were racing towards new production of energy in this country, which got us to a point we hadn't been to in 75 years, which was energy independence and an exporter of energy.
Joe Biden abandoned all that.
And as he kisses the ass of all of these dictators, and as they shove the middle finger in his face, and they even not only did they say no to increasing production, they decreased it by 2 million barrels a day.
And then Joe Biden says, Can you do it after November?
So he wants foreign countries to influence our election.
Where are the Democrats on investigating that part of Joe colluding with OPEC and Saudi Arabia and even Russia because they're part of this cabal that are dominating energy and laughing at how stupid we are and what an idiot he is.
You know, I'm watching, but of course in Washington, all they're talking about for the four millionth time is January 6th while they ignored the 574 riots in the summer of 2020.
That's where their head's at.
This is insanity.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Let's get back to our phones.
Long Island, New York, Nick is with us.
What's up, Nick?
How are you?
Sean, appreciate you taking the call.
You're a must-listen every day as we do, and you're a must-watch every night as we do watch you.
Lee Zeldon can win.
He's leading in Long Island.
A poll came out today, but not by enough.
He needs to win by a big margin in upstate New York, a big margin in Long Island for him to win this.
And then he's got to stop the bleeding that is, you know, nine Democrats registered to one Republican.
He can win, though.
Let me get a couple of things off my chest, Sean, and I'll make it quick.
And again, I appreciate you taking the time.
As far as a deterrent goes, let's get to Tohokal first, okay?
People kill people, not guns.
What would be wrong, Sean, with 10 years mandatory jail time if you're a felon that gets caught with an illegal firearm?
That's A. B, stop and frisk.
Bring it back.
C, let's get a plain clothes anti-crime unit throughout the five boroughs, Sean.
Let's do this.
We have to get deterrence in place.
Now, also, Monday, Columbus Day, our mayor, who is obviously unqualified, was interviewed by somebody that you know very well.
And the dialogue was he was passing the buck to the Albany lawmakers saying that he was handcuffed, another unqualified mayor.
We have to get tough.
We have to get Zeldin in.
And we're New York tough, Sean.
Things have to change.
There has to be a deterrent for the bad actors.
I'm sure you agree.
Listen, crime can be stopped.
We know how to stop crime.
It's through good policing.
Now, does that mean that every cop is a good cop?
No.
The vast majority of them are.
Overwhelming majority of them are.
They want to do a good job.
Everybody I know that's a cop, and I'm sure you know many as well, they went into policing because they want to protect and serve their community.
They don't mind putting themselves in harm's way.
They do it gladly, willingly.
It's not the highest paying job, although it pays a decent wage if you're in New York or Suffolk County or Nassau County.
But the reality is, is now they've got handcuffs on themselves.
They're not allowed to do their job.
And God forbid they try to do their job and they're going to end up on the other side of a jury, well, being second guessed for every decision they make.
We can solve the crime problem.
We've been able to do it.
When you have nearly 3,000 murders a year in New York City and a mayor says, you know what, I'm sick of this and it's going to end and implements good policing policies and you drive the number down to 300, we know how to stop it.
And the question is, where's the will to stop it?
And then rather than going in that direction to make sure every law-abiding citizen is safe and secure, we go in the other direction.
We defund the NYPD by a billion dollars.
We dismantle police departments, and then we come up with the idiocy of no bail laws.
It's insane.
This is these, look, 26 days from now, I cannot project the urgency I want to project in terms of how bad this really is.
It's all on the line, and I don't like to make predictions on elections.
I like to give you a realistic snapshot.
And right now, I cannot say with confidence that the Republicans are going to take the House and Senate.
I think the odds are much higher for the House.
We've got some tough races in the Senate.
We've got some tough gubernatorial races around the country.
So what I'm hoping is, is that people have had it.
If you're better off than you were under Donald Trump with Joe Biden and the radical socialist Democrats and the climate cultists that run the country, if you think you're better off, vote for them.
But if you see record high inflation and you see border chaos like we've never had and a record number of people illegally entering the country already this year on top of last year's record, and if you like paying high gas prices and you like paying more for every product you buy in every store you go to because it costs more to produce it and it costs more to transport it, then vote for Democrats.
If you want law and order, vote for Republicans and fire these people with their insane defund, dismantle, no-bail mentality.
If you're sick of your schools failing your kids, vote these people out that have aligned with this corrupt teachers union.
They have this unholy alliance.
And I'm only one vote.
Nick, I'm one vote, but I'm hoping that people are feeling what I'm feeling.
I feel the country is slipping away from us.
I feel like they're dragging us down a dark path of which if they continue to be in power for any length of time, we won't recognize this country anymore.
And we will suffer needlessly.
These policies are a disaster.
And it's now ingrained in pretty much every single Democratic candidate.
I've never seen such extreme candidates.
And I've been doing politics now since 1987 on radio.
That's when I first started.
It shouldn't be a horse race, Sean.
It shouldn't be.
It shouldn't be a horse race, November 8.
It should be a blowout.
It should be a slam dunk.
This is simple, Sean.
It's common sense.
Look at what's happened to your state, Nick.
Your state is a socialist Adam shiff hole.
You're in this state too, Sean.
I'm as dumb as you are.
We're both dumb.
We need to get the hell out of here.
All right.
Nick, appreciate the call, buddy.
God bless you.
All right, let's say hi to Aaron.
He's in the great state of Ohio, the Buckeye State.
What's going on, Aaron?
How are you?
Hey, Sean, I'm great.
I have three words.
No joke, no appropriately.
Term limit.
Term limit.
I have a three-letter word.
Job.
J-O-B-S.
I don't know.
I count four.
I'm going to start with two words.
He starts with three.
May it in America, whatever it was.
Where's Jackie?
I have friends, co-workers, and family, Republican, Democrat.
We don't really get along much anymore as we used to politically.
But the first time you mentioned term limits, it's one thing.
I don't care what political side you're on.
Everybody agrees.
Nancy, Schumer, McConnell, lifelong, it's time for them to go.
We risk the chance of AOCs and the new socialists coming in, but it's a risk worth not having them there their life.
How much do they make a year versus how much did they come out of office with?
Look at Raphael Warnock.
He's doubled his wealth since he's been in the Senate for like, what, a year and a half?
It's ridiculous.
26 days, everybody.
The power is in your hands.
There's enough of us to change things.
Just it's an all-hands-on-deck moment.
I can't express and translate the urgency I feel.
I hope you're all feeling it too.
I believe you are.
$1,000 a year.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
A great Hannity 9 Eastern tonight on the Fox News channel.
Oh, George Papadopoulos.
Turns out they wanted a FISA warrant on him.
And on Fox News, who knows who else?
On top of the $1 million bribe offer of the FBI to Christopher Steele and putting Dan Chenko on the payroll, the Russian sub-source for Christopher Steele.
How insane is all of this?
Also, Marco Rubios, Steve Moore will be with us.
Reines Prievis, Stephen Miller, Leo 2.0, Terrell, and Jessica Tarlov, as we have the best election coverage on TV and radio tonight.
Say you DVR, Fox News, Hannity, 26 days till these all-important midterms.
See you tonight.
