Alright, news roundup information overload hour 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we're not less than two hours from the expected release of this uh body cam video in this incident with Tyreed Nichols in Memphis, uh Tennessee.
Uh cities now all across the country are preparing for possible unrest tonight.
We hope and pray obviously that doesn't happen.
Um we are told by everybody that's seen this video that it is just absolutely awful.
The Memphis police chief saying it has acts that defy humanity.
Uh and continuing on an unexplainable level of aggression by the Memphis police against Tyree Nichols.
Uh Tyree Nichols' mom, apparently hearing that she he was close to her home, uh say calling out her name, you know, with just heartbroken.
Uh back to the police chief saying that this case shows law enforcement issues aren't about race, but bias is on the table.
And other people have said that you know, this this is race for a really, really, really harsh tape.
I've not seen it.
Uh obviously, every single commentator that has seen it, meaning the officials that have seen it have all pretty much said the same thing.
Uh we're also following the story.
If you haven't, if you're just joining us, maybe you haven't uh heard from us today, and you're just getting out of work and driving home.
Uh the Paul Pelosi body cam video and audio has been released.
I've got the audio of when the police arrived.
I'll describe the scene to you.
Now it was a call to nine one one.
It lasts about three minutes.
Um let me well, I think maybe we should play it again because uh some people haven't heard it.
We'll play this is the 911 call, then I'll describe what happens.
All reports seem to be between two and three minutes is the response time, which is pretty incredible.
You don't get any better than that from a police department.
But Paul Pelosi on speaker, it's obvious you'll pick it up uh with the assailant right next to him was armed with a hammer.
Uh listen.
San Francisco Please 74 2022.
Oh, I guess I I guess uh I told them San Francisco Police.
Do you need help?
Oh, the gentleman uh here, just waiting for my wife to come back.
Uh you just uh waiting her to come back because you're not gonna be here for a day, so I guess we'll have to wait.
Okay, do you need please fire a medical for anything?
Eight seconds.
Uh I don't think so.
I don't think so.
And 50 eight seconds.
Um the Capitol Police around.
No, this is the one.
They're usually here.
They're usually here at the house.
Protecting my wife.
No, this is our present police.
Friday.
Okay.
No, I understand.
Two and eighteen seconds.
Uh I've got a problem, but he's good.
Zero.
Okay.
No, no, no.
This this gentleman just uh came out of the house.
Uh and he wants to wait here for my wife to come home.
Zero uh and 40, 18.
Do you know who the person is?
No, I don't know who he is.
He's telling me not to uh not to do anything.
What is your address, sir?
Uh 2640 Broadway.
Two twenty five and what is your name?
Paul Pelosi.
Friday.
Uh two.
And uh eighteen seconds.
Okay.
Okay, who what's the gentleman's name?
I didn't think that's what's that.
My name's David.
The name is David.
Okay, and who is David T 5.
I don't know.
I'm a friend of theirs.
Yeah, I I um he says he's a friend.
But I've never seen that.
But you don't know who he is.
No, it's no matter.
Eight seconds.
Okay.
He's telling me I'm being very leaning, so I I gotta stop talking to you.
Okay.
And you sure I can stay on the phone with you just to make sure everything's okay.
No, he won't he must say that's all off the phone.
Zero, two, twenty six.
Okay.
And zero, eight, two, two.
Thank you.
Okay, bye.
I mean, he's given every indication that he possibly can.
Um, under the circumstances.
Uh and then the police arrive, and when he opens the door, there is the assailant next to him with a hammer in his hand.
Um now the guy was close enough to him that he could strike.
Um I I will not second guess Paul Pelosi.
He is a victim here.
And I just um it's just sad.
I mean, the police the fact that the police got there in two minutes, first of all, kudos to the operators.
She had no idea really what's going on.
He's it's very unclear, but there's enough calls there.
What I don't understand is why that didn't have some type of asterisks next to this the second in line for the presidency, the speaker of the house, and if you get a call from this number, it's an emergency.
Um but that apparently wasn't there.
But with that said, to the credit of the operator, she did call 911.
They were there.
Most reports say two minutes, one said three minutes, but within two to three minutes.
I mean, that's a r incredible response time.
Uh anyway, here is what happened when the police arrived.
Uh how you doing?
What's going on, man?
Drop the hammer.
Um, nope.
Hey, hey, hey, what is going on right now?
I'm not getting any answer out in front of all this.
Oh, oh, Come on.
I'm crossing the area, but it's a one-in-hand.
Get down, Michael.
I'm feeling it.
I'm getting my shoulder.
Ever-14-Everison, back up code three.
Code three, nine-thousand-fifty.
Give me a ship.
Give me a shortly reporting out.
And uh the police, you know, by that point, at that moment when he said drop the hammer, and the guy goes, Nope, is when he attacked Paul Pelosi.
Uh joining us now is Leo 2.0 Torrell, my friend, how are you?
Good, Sean.
Uh I I think it was if you played the audio and the uh the 911.
I saw both the I heard the audio and I play saw the uh the video, and uh I you know I'll tell you right now, I thought everybody, as far as the first responders did a good job, the 911 operator looking at the audio the video tape, the police officers responded.
You never know what's in the head of uh of a victim like Paul Pelosi when the door opened up, did he why can he just bolt and run?
I don't know, but uh you know I'm uh it it's it's obviously a crime took place.
Well, obvious uh in all of that.
I'm not gonna sit here and criticize a victim.
I can't.
It's wrong, and um I obviously he's trying to drop in that 911 call from my perspective as many hints as he can.
Hello, this is the Pelosi residence.
Here's the Capitol Police, for example.
I don't know who this guy is.
he says he's a friend, but he's not really a friend.
Um he wants me to hang up.
He says that uh I gotta stop talking to you, that I'm too leading.
So to her credit, she c she had no idea what was going on, but she knew enough to say this doesn't sound right.
Right.
And I'll tell you right now, Sean, these nine one one operators get thousands of folk on now.
You and I are listening to what Paul Pelosi was saying, and we have all this information.
And yes, he's dropping hint after hint after hint after hint.
And then one time I heard the tape where she said, Well, if you got a problem, call back.
So she hears thousands of phone calls, and good, she made she made the uh communication with the law enforcement and they responded.
But I uh you know, she was trying to stay on the line, do everything possible, but I can imagine the volumes of calls she gets from kooks from from from non-emergency calls.
I thought overall she did a good job, yet she didn't read the tea leaves that Paul Pelosi handed out.
No, and that's why the police were kind of they they were surprised.
They walked up, all right.
I think this is the house.
Let's knock on the door, blah, blah, blah.
Um, all right, let's move on.
You've seen the the pictures of Tyree Nichols in the hospital bed just beaten to death.
I mean, that's at the end result is this young man was beaten to death.
Five police are officers now charged with second degree murder.
Uh four of the five were out on bail.
The video of the beating being described by the Memphis police chief as an act that defies humanity.
Every explanation from every official in Memphis that described this tape describes it in similar terms.
I can't imagine they would say these things if there it wasn't.
You know, Sean, uh Rodney King, I've been in LA.
I've handled personally a lot of excessive use of force cases, and I saw your program last night on Fox, and you're you're you're taking this with uh uh with caution.
You need to see the tape, I need to see the tape.
I've seen uh victim just brutalized in certain situations.
But and I saw the the hospital picture of this young man.
It looked horrific.
And they said the beating is about three minutes that you know, you got five officers, they look pretty well built officers.
I'm gonna hold judgment as to it until I see the video.
Uh you know, what we have learned, even the Pelosi case, you hear a lot of people give descriptions as to what they have not seen.
I want to see it with my own eyes, but obviously the end result, the young man dies, he looked horrific in the hospital bed, and these individuals are being charged, and I think that's the as far as I can go right now.
I think it's going to be very significant, Sean, that these are five black officers who are involved.
You have a black police chief.
It's a democratic city.
And I think it's very important for one significant fact, which is not part of the actual crime itself.
But officers of all colors can't commit crime, not just one particular race.
And I hope the left understands that, hey, look, have the same type of villages regarding crime or excessive use of force involving officers.
Ninety-eight percent of officers are great.
We have a few rotten apples in every profession.
But let's not focus on cases only based on the skin color of the officer.
Well, I mean, would it be different if if they were not African American in your view?
Oh my gosh.
Are you let me just be very clear for your listeners?
If those five officers were white, there would have been riots going on three or four days ago.
Are you kidding me?
There would be burning and looting going on.
This is my opinion, being a civil rights attorney, looking at what happened in cases involving the Democratic playbook, white officer, black victim, there would be burning across this entire country.
The reason, in my opinion, this is just my opinion, that you don't have the burning going on right now, is because you have five black officers, you have a black female chief, and you have a democratic mayor.
That's in my opinion, the only reason why there's not burning and looting right now.
So let's assume this tape is as the Memphis police chief and other top officials in Memphis describe it as.
And that tape is released tonight.
Cities all across the country are bracing for potential violence.
What do you think?
How do you think people will react to this?
Oh, well, I'll tell you exactly.
Now listen, there is a court, Sean, and you know this.
There's professional agitators.
Look what's going on in Georgia right now.
There are professional agitators funded by whom?
I don't know.
George Soros, I don't know.
But there's gonna be some disturbances in city.
They're gonna use this as an excuse.
I think the intensity will not be the same as if these officers were a different color.
But you're going to have some protesting.
You're going to have some protesters going out because there are professional agitators designed with a position of anti-police, defunded police, and eliminate the police.
And of course, no bail laws on top of it.
Quick break, we'll come back more with Leo 2.0 Torrell than your calls 800-941 Sean.
If you want to join us, remember the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
They have their promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices America's heroes have made for all of us.
And that means heroes like U.S. Air Force, senior master sergeant, friend of this program.
We call him D.T. Israel Del Toro Jr.
Now he promised his dad that he'd take care of his family and his son that he wouldn't grow up without a father.
Now, when his Humvee exploded in Afghanistan, uh I've seen DT, I've interviewed DT.
He suffered severe burns over more than 80% of his body.
Unimaginable pain.
Only at a 15% chance of survival.
And he focused on the promises that he made.
He later became the first fully disabled airman permitted to reenlist and a gold medal winner in the Invict Invictus Games.
Now he shares his story to help others.
And thanks to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and your generosity, Del Toro received a mortgage-free smart home.
The home has a myriad of smart features to help him live his life more independently.
So join me and all of Team Hannity.
Help heroes like Del Toro when they need it most.
I hope you'll join us in committing to 11 bucks a month.
You can go to the Tunnel to Towers website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org.
That's the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org.
When we come back, your calls 800-941 Sean.
Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern, right after the release of this Memphis tape.
Uh we'll have full coverage reaction around the country straight ahead.
We continue with Leo 2.0 Torrell, then we'll get to your calls 800-941 Sean.
You know, I really kept honing in on the fact is, and this does fit into the Pelosi incident, is that when the when January 6th happened, uh, every Democrat was critical.
But they remained either silent or just outright lied to us what we saw in the summer of 2020.
And that's 574 riots, thousands of injured cops, dozens of dead Americans, billions in property damage.
Some were quiet, and then people like you know come Kamala Harris, they're not gonna stop, they shouldn't stop.
We're not gonna stop, they're not gonna stop, blah, blah, blah.
And then promoting a bail fund for people arrested during the rioting, and they wouldn't even call it rioting.
The media wouldn't call it rioting either.
Exactly, because Sean, I'm just gonna tell you right now, Antifa Black Lives Matter, that's their base.
So they're not going to attack your base.
Look what's going on in Atlanta.
They want to build a training center.
No, they want to build a police training center.
And there's professional agitators from outside of Atlanta going in there and creating rioting and burning.
You'll hear any criticism from the Democratic leadership.
Why?
Because if they're base, they do not attack Antifa.
Black Lives Matter, George Soros funded district attorney.
But January 6th, all those people sitting in jail right now, still sitting there, and you got this being run 24-7 on CNN and MSNBC.
I'll tell you right now, if it's they have a playbook, Sean, they have a narrative that they play the race card, and they look at that racial component first and to see who are the individuals involved in the criminal activity.
Antifa Black Lives Matter, they passed.
I pray that there is peace.
Uh, I worry that there won't be.
Uh, we'll know by the time I'm on Hannity tonight at 9 Eastern.
That tape will only have been out for two hours prior, and uh I hope people are sensible and innocent people don't get hurt, and businesses don't get hurt.
Uh Leo 2.0 Torrell, thank you, my friend.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.

Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.

Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.

Uh I worry that there won't be.
Uh, we'll know by the time I'm on Hannity tonight at 9 Eastern.

All right, 25 to the top of the hour on this uh Friday, where we are only an hour and what uh twenty-five minutes away from the release of this tape in Memphis.
I'll get to that in a second.
It's a little scary.
Uh anyway, uh I want to talk to you first uh before we get to your calls, 800 941 Sean about my friends at Lone Star Transfer.
You know, if you own a timeshare, uh, you know it's difficult now more than ever before, almost impossible in some cases to actually book your timeshare.
Clump people that own them are shocked to learn that their timeshare is now available to the public that limits their booking options.
Uh also many owners are furious and have reached out and angry and upset because their yearly dues have nearly doubled during this maintenance fee season on top of the last few years, uh, which has happened as well.
And for well over a decade, this incredible company, Lone StarTransfer.com, they have been helping it's a family-owned company, and they have had the pleasure of helping thousands and thousands of timeshare owners legally and permanently get out of their never-ending timeshare fees.
They have an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau, over 900 five-star testimonials.
Now, their clients know Lone Star Transfer is the only company that they can trust, and Lone Star guarantees the release of all liability to your timeshare in writing and in a specific time frame.
You can start the new year off right, call my good friends.
They'll give you a free no-obligation consultation.
They're waiting for your call now, 833-594075-833-594075 online.
You can check in with them at Lone StarTransfer.com.
All right, about an hour and twenty-four minutes.
This tape in Memphis gets released.
Uh, we will have full coverage around the country and in terms of cities that are bracing for potential unrest tonight, starting in Memphis and Atlanta and and other cities around the country.
Uh anyway, 800 941 Sean is our number.
We also have the the Paul Pelosi tape that was released.
We spent a lot of time on that on the program so far today.
We'll show you that on TV at 9 Eastern.
Uh, Susan is in Pennsylvania.
Susan, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
How are you?
Hi, Sean, how are you doing?
I'm good.
I'm glad you called.
Hey, first of all, I just want to tell you I have a lot of respect for everything you do.
I am so glad you're a true patriot because we have people like you.
But, you know, originally when I called, I wanted to talk about Biden, but forget that right now because this whole thing with Memphis, it's so sad.
And Leo 2.0 just took all the words right out of my mouth.
You know, it's look, uh let me play again, and then I'll let you comment on it.
The Memphis police chief uh saying that this Tyree Nichols video has acts that defy humanity, which echoes statements made by every other person up to this point that has seen this video.
Listen.
That's absolutely right.
And then when you saw it, what was your reaction?
Um I was I was outraged.
I was um it was incomprehensible to me.
It was unconscionable, and um I I felt that I needed to do something and do something quickly.
Uh I don't think I witnessed anything of that nature in my entire career.
Really?
Really?
Not bad.
It was that bad.
What are we going to see then?
Um you're gonna see acts that defy humanity.
You're gonna see um a disregard for life.
Um duty of care um that we're all sworn to.
And um a level of physical uh interaction that is above and beyond what is required in law enforcement.
Well, I mean, every other person that's have seen this video has said the same thing.
Uh I can't imagine that's hyperbole.
I I'm expecting the worst tonight, just based on her comments and others.
What do you think, Susan?
Um, I agree with you.
In fact, I even told my husband early this morning when he went to work, because he works down in the city.
I said, Be careful when you go to work today.
But when I heard it wasn't going to be released until seven, I thought, well, at least it's after.
Everybody's not most of the people are home from work, not that that stops anything.
And I really I just have to give Tyree's mother a hell of a lot of credit.
To get up there and ask people to protest peacefully, must have taken I mean, I even could start to cry thinking about it.
Must have taken so much out of her to say that.
I I it had to be horrific.
I can't imagine a police chief who would probably in every case want a common situation to use that level of of commentary.
I just can't.
Uh anyway, Susan, we appreciate your call.
Um we'll have this video will be released by the time we get on the air tonight, nine Eastern on the Vox News Channel.
Uh all right, let's say hi to Harry is in New Jersey.
Harry, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean.
Um, I actually have a comment on the Pelosi tape and then uh a question I'd like to hear your opinion on regarding the document issue.
Um let me just say they should have put you as speaker of the house, my friend.
But having said all of that, um my comment on the pool on the Pelosi tape is that when I listen to that tape, it it sounds like he's a victim, but it doesn't sound like so much like the guy's a stranger.
He doesn't sound stressed.
Um when they show up at the door, your normal reaction, Nancy Pelosi's never said who was the guy.
She almost acted like she flew out in the middle of the night.
So I think there's a lot more to that story as there usually is with Democrats.
Why why do you believe that when the when the operator says, you know, Paul Paul Pelosi said, my name is Paul Pelosi.
Anyway, this gentleman, he's telling me to put the phone down and just do what he says, okay.
Operator asks, what's the gentleman's name?
And immediately says, I don't know.
The guy steps in because it's on speaker, my name's David.
Uh then Pelosi echoes that the name's David, uh, and the operator says, Okay, and who is David, and he says immediately, I don't know.
Well, I'm not saying that he knows who the guy is, I'm saying he may be very well aware why why the guy was there.
Um you know, Paul.
Well, there was that report.
Remember that he was waiting for Nancy, and if Nancy didn't give the right answer, he planned to attack her.
That was that was reported pretty widely.
My point exactly.
Now I have a question for you on the documents.
I've heard a hundred times that the Nash Archives didn't know Biden had the documents, so on and so forth.
If the National Archives doesn't have any way to track the documents, didn't know Biden had them.
How did they suddenly know Trump had them?
I don't you know, there's a lot of questions I have as it relates to all of this.
They know that Trump had them because the FBI had unfettered access to Mar-a-Lago.
Trump invited them in.
Uh they were in the storage room where ultimately during the raid they were found.
The FBI was there, they saw them.
Uh they could have certainly said, Do you mind if we take these home with us?
They never asked.
They never said anything.
They called back days later and said, Would you put a padlock on the door?
They said sure.
They they uh followed through on that request.
They put it in the padlock.
Um no reason to believe had they called and said, Hey, we'd like to go back, we we think there might be classified documents in there.
They never asked to do that, they just raided.
And meanwhile, they didn't raid Joe Biden's home, and they said, Well, he cooperated.
Well, when the FBI was there before the raid, isn't that cooperation?
Because that sounds like cooperation to me.
But Sean, if you remember, they said that the National Archives wanted the records back and Trump wouldn't give 'em.
That would signal that the National Archives supposedly called the FBI or called the DOJ and said he's refusing.
Again, they've said a hundred times that they didn't know Biden had him.
It sounds more to me like somewhere along the line, Donald Trump got misled by somebody either close to him or that he himself reached out and said, Hey, you guys should take a look.
I might have some here.
Some doesn't make sense, because if you if the National Archives doesn't know that Joe Biden hasn't had these documents for twenty years, and they know Trump doesn't have them for twenty minutes, again, a lot like Paul Pelosi, uh, something does not add up, my friend.
Well, I don't know what adds up or what it doesn't add up.
I I'm not gonna speculate here.
It seems look, it seems to me that he's trying to give every clue imaginable while you have somebody with a hammer that is threatening you next to you.
In other words, in that case, you're you're like a hostage, you are a hostage.
And um you know, I'm not gonna be critical of a of a victim.
I wish the one thing separate and apart from Paul Pelosi, separate and apart from Paul Pelosi, is I would urge all of you in my audience, because I care about you and I care just like the the very same things I'll tell my family.
You know, we can learn from situations of other people.
And I'm not saying you need to become a martial artist.
This is what I always ask liberals when it comes to a gun control debate.
What are you gonna do if somebody enters your home?
What do you do if somebody enters your home and wants to bring harm to you and your family?
I would as this is not about Paul Pelosi.
Separate and apart from this incident, it is I would exhort you and encourage you to have an answer to that question.
Now I would urge everybody as well.
I mean, there are non-lethal alternatives.
I I don't expect that people are gonna train an hour and a half a day like I do, um, because uh I've now become so passionate about martial arts and I'm a student of martial arts.
However, you know, some basic degree, knowledge, self-defense, if if nothing else, just get away some tactics.
You know, one of the one of the easiest things you can do if you're at close quarters, if a person doesn't have a weapon, in this case the guy had a weapon, that changes the equation dramatically.
But let's say somebody doesn't have a weapon and you think they're gonna attack you, you could just literally, if you can gouge their eyes out.
I promise you, if you stick your thumbs deep into their eye socket and tear it across the eye, that they're not gonna be able to do much for the next minute or so, at least.
And if you really do a good job, uh maybe forever.
In other words, if it's a real attacker, what what options do you have?
If you don't like uh firearm, would you consider a burner weapon?
B Y R N A dot com, I think is the website.
And no, I don't have stake in the company.
And well, Hannity, you must you're always promoting this company, you must have some no, I have no financial stake in it.
I just I am a I am a customer, a burner.
I buy things from them.
Um I've given them away as gifts to people.
And I just it shoots projectiles, which has tear gas and two separate pepper sprays, and it incapacitates people.
I can hit somebody from 30, 40 feet away.
Linda, probably can't.
Um, I I think you're wrong.
I think that I have rage for days, and God help the person that would ever break into my house because I have no problem ripping anyone's eyes out.
But I do think there is a certain element here in the demons left.
The staff is looking at you at you.
Just the just your your stare.
But listen to the point of what you're serious.
You said something.
First of all, two things.
Sweet baby James, this God fearing loving man, just came over and he said, you know what?
People need to be nicer to Paul Pelosi because regardless of what we think of him and what he's done with his various choices and how he's hurt different people.
This was a situation where he was.
I've been nice to him all day.
He was a victim.
We're not talking about you.
I'm talking about Sweet Baby.
I didn't say you did anything wrong.
Can you finish it, though?
Oh my God.
And then anyway.
Um the next time this century.
Um, you know what?
If you want to talk about the weather, we could add in too.
Yes, I'm making you chicken broth.
And you can't say that on the talk pack when everyone can hear you because my mic is on.
So yes.
I'm making you chicken soup.
I am making you chicken soup with tons of salt.
Okay.
You should be so happy about that.
And I went and found it, which was like down the hall.
I want to get to another call.
You done?
Yeah.
I wasn't, but I'm just gonna be done.
No, no, no.
Go ahead.
I think you're leaving out one thing in the situation.
People get nervous.
Not everybody agree with that.
Even if they're trained.
I've seen that happen too.
Their hands shake, they get nervous, they make bad decisions.
It's scary.
I've been mugged three times.
The first time I got mugged, I was really scared.
Of course.
The third time, I was like, oh, crap, again.
Uh listen.
It's a little different.
That that is why.
Listen, I just encourage this audience and everybody that I know, and these are things I teach my own family.
Is that you some degree of situational self-defense knowledge can go a long way.
I'm not critical.
Paul Pelosi's a victim in this case.
And he did everything imaginable to give this lady a clue.
Now, I'm I'm angry at one thing.
I don't blame the the dispatcher.
The dispatcher, I thought, you know, heard enough oddness to this that she felt compelled to rightly call the police, probably saved his life.
And those police officers probably saved his life.
And maybe even Speaker Pelosi's life in the end, if if he would have held out and held him hostage for that period of time.
But to the degree that you can have some situational self-defense knowledge, it is it is crucial.
Um I have a plan for every situation that might happen to me, but I can't foresee everything in my life, and I would just at that point rely on my daily training.
But you also have a security system.
Like, where the hell is the security system?
Fort Knox doesn't have my security.
Like, you know, to Mark Simone's point, you know, she's second in line to be the president, God forbid.
I mean, God forbid for so many reasons, but God forbid.
And I'm like No, she should she should have 24-7 protection.
I really would love to see a little bit more footage from the outside and how this guy got in.
I would love to know more.
The footage on the outside, the surveillance footage of the guy beating the crap out of the door to break in.
But how did he even get there?
I don't know.
Now look, I'm assuming they have a I'm assuming they have a big home because you know that apparently happened before he got inside.
So I'm just uh assuming that the house is that large, he didn't even hear the banging that was going on at his back door.
But uh anyway, we're a little less than an hour away from the release of the a little more than an hour away from the release of this Memphis tape.
We'll have full coverage on Hannity tonight, nine eastern on Fox.
All right, that's gonna wrap things uh up for today.
We're about an hour away from the release of this Memphis tape.
We'll have full coverage uh of the tape of Tyree Nichols and the beating he took.
Uh, if it's as bad as people say, it is uh gonna be very difficult to watch.
The picture of him in the hospital is horrific.
Anyway, well, full coverage.
