All right, thanks, Scott Channel.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I spent a lot of time with President Trump this week at Mar-a-Lago, and we played a lot of the interview.
We'll have more of it that we have not aired on Hannity Tonight, Nine Eastern on the Vox News Channel.
But I want to play for you what I think was an extremely enlightening and informative interview on some very key issues.
And we'll have a lot more tonight as he talks about Merrick Carlin and the economy and so much more.
That's Nine Eastern on Fox.
But here's my interview with President Trump.
We just have breaking news, as I mentioned in my open tonight.
And I want to get your reaction to the fact that the appeals court has now stopped your Georgia case, election case, while appeal on Willis's disqualification is pending.
This is on the heels of Florida Judge Eileen Cannon, looking into whether or not the prosecutor, Jack Smith, the special prosecutor, was pointed in an inappropriate way, which would render the case and the indictments out completely.
That is going to take place in fairly short order.
A lot can change in a couple of days with only 152 days out of election.
And what we call him deranged Jack Smith, because you look at his career, he's been overturned by the Supreme Court unanimously, so many other things.
He goes too far.
Let me ask you this.
You had said something during the trial in New York.
Mother Teresa couldn't beat these charges with one thing that you said, and he turned out to be right.
And secondly, you were asked about the possibility that Judge Murshon might send you to jail.
You said something that really kind of got my attention.
What did you say that it didn't phase you in the sense that if that's what it takes, you don't have to be doing this.
You could be playing golf every day and you probably wouldn't be charged with anything.
Well, I think I say it about almost all of these cases that are brought against me.
They are doing it for the purposes of hurting a political opponent of Biden and trying to get him to win, and he's the worst president in the history of our country.
But in the case that you're talking about, I said very strongly that I'm very proud to fight for our Constitution, and that's what it takes.
Everybody said, this is such a minor thing.
You don't go to jail for this, all of them.
But you don't understand what we're dealing against, John.
We're dealing against this system that is so corrupt.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
I did nothing wrong in any of these things.
I did nothing wrong.
We did nothing wrong at all.
And when you look at the analysts, whether it's Greg Jarrett or Andy McCarthy or Jonathan Turley or your friend, the great one, Mark Levin, Dershowitz, all of them, they say there's no case here.
Judge Janine was so incredible two weeks ago.
She was unbelievable.
Angry.
She was angry.
And you know why they're angry?
Because they love our country and they see what's happening.
It's totally unconstitutional what they've done.
And if you look at the statements made by the people I just mentioned, and I'm not friends with any, I mean, I think they respect what I've done.
They might respect me.
They might not respect me.
But they said there's no case.
It shouldn't have been brought.
And the way the judge charged the jury, told the jury, gave jury instructions, nobody's ever heard anything like that.
It's basically when you break it down, a records keeping issue on a misdemeanor whose statute of limitations had run out, that they upcharge into a felony on a federal election, and that raises another issue of appeal.
What will be your...
By the way, when you say records keeping, you know what the record keeping was?
They charged an election, if you look, a lawyer's fee, a legal fee, and you call it a legal expense.
It's known.
You call it a legal fee, a legal expense.
The bookkeeper who I never spoke to correctly wrote a legal expense for a lawyer that was paid.
We have a similar case.
Hillary Clinton funneled money to a law firm, and that law firm hired an op research firm.
And that op research firm hired a guy by Christopher Steele.
That became the basis of what I described as the dirty Russian misinformation dossier that became the basis of not one but four FISA applications and it all turned out not to be true.
So in that case, well, nobody was charged.
Nobody was charged with top secret classified information.
Her home wasn't rated on her server.
Deleted subpoenaed emails, 30,000 of them.
We didn't hear a bleach bit.
Then you have all the people that signed off on those warrants.
Nothing happens to them.
Joe Biden, four locations, top secret documents.
Nobody raided his house.
That, I guess we've come, we've added a new word to our lexicon, and that is lawfare or weaponization of justice.
My question to you is, and people are saying, actually because of an interview we did together, you said, I would be dictator for the day and just secure the border and drill for oil.
I thought it was tongue-in-cheek.
I was sitting there with you.
However, my question is a very serious one.
You know, people are claiming you want retribution.
People are claiming you want what has happened to you done to Democrats.
Would you do that ever?
Look, what's happened to me has never happened in this country before.
And it has to stop because.
Wait a minute.
I want to hear that again.
It has to stop.
Well, it does have to stop because we're not going to have a country.
But if you're elected, what does that mean to find that?
Look, what I've gone through, nobody's ever gone through.
I'm a very legitimate person.
I built a great business.
Everything's been, I have been under siege.
Nobody's ever seen anything like this in this country.
Now, in other countries, in other third world countries, or banana republics, as they say, a banana republic, we've become a banana republic.
At the border, we've become a banana republic.
With so many other elements of our country, we've become a banana republic.
You take a look at what's happening with inflation.
That's the banana republic inflation, what we have.
I think it could be as high as 50% if you add everything in.
When you start adding energy prices in, when you start adding interest rates, which have gone from 2% to 9% and 10%.
focus on those that want people to believe that you want retribution, that you will use the system of justice to go after your political elections.
Number one, they're wrong.
It has to stop because otherwise we're not going to have a country.
Look, when this election is over, based on what they've done, I would have every right to go after them.
And it's easy because it's Joe Biden and you see all the criminality.
All of the money that's going into the family and him, all of this money from China, from Russia, from Ukraine.
During one of the interviews, I said, what about the $3.5 million paid to the Biden family from the mayor of Moscow's wife?
What about that?
And Chris Wallace defended him, said, you can't ask that question.
Well, then it turned out to be a big deal long after that debate.
That was one of the debates.
And it turned out to be a big deal.
And Chris Wallace said, we can't go there because we don't know that it should.
It turned out to be true.
Millions and millions of dollars.
Now, if we're going to dinner with her at the Cafe Milano, and he said to America, he never once talked to his son, brother, or anybody about their foreign business deal.
Well, he said it, and then you found out it was absolutely untrue.
Everything he says is untrue.
There's never been a president like this.
Look, he's a horrible president.
He's destroying our country at the border.
He's allowing millions of people to come in from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums, which is a step above, a big step above a mental institution.
He's allowing terrorists to flood into our country.
And the numbers are probably 16, 17, or 18 million people.
You're going to have over 20 million people, I think, I believe, and a lot of other people do, too, by the time he hopefully gets out.
November 5th, Election Day, will be the most, and by the way, it starts on September 22nd.
It starts earlier because of early voting.
But November 5th will go down as the most important election in the history of our country.
It's going to be the most important day and period in the history of our country.
Will you pledge to restore equal justice, equal application of our laws, end this practice of weaponization?
Is that a promise you're going to make?
We have to do it.
But it's awful.
Look, I know you want me to say something.
No, I don't want you to say I'm asking.
I don't want to look naive.
What they've done to the Republican Party, they want to arrest on no crime.
They want to arrest the person that won the nomination in a landslide.
There was nobody even close in a landslide.
The person that got millions of votes, more votes than any other sitting president in history in the last election.
The person that won an election that he wasn't expected to win against Hillary Clinton in 2016.
They want to arrest that person on no crime.
They want to arrest.
There was no crime.
There was no criminality.
There was no crime.
And you can go back to all of these legal scholars.
They can't believe what's happening.
Some of them don't even like me.
And they're saying this is a very, very dangerous thing that's happening.
No, we can't let this happen.
And I will do everything in my power not to let.
But there's tremendous criminality here.
What they're doing to me, if it's going to continue, we're really not going to have much of a country left.
It's really, it is weaponization.
You call it lawfare.
You call it, some people call it just warfare.
But it is weaponization of the election.
And we're talking about, I think, the most important election in the history of our country.
This will go down, I believe, as the most important election in the history of our country.
We can't have this stuff go on.
Because you know what?
When Biden goes out, everyone says bye-bye, and then he gets indicted two days later and they go after him.
The country doesn't want that.
And you know what?
They didn't want it with Hillary Clinton either.
I thought it was terrible.
I'd make a speech.
Everyone said, lock her up, lock her up, lock her.
And I was at a UFC fight the other night with Dana White.
It was a fantastic.
He's had a terrible reception.
I'm kidding.
I'm not telling Dana that.
People don't understand.
Sometimes we played it.
It was pretty overwhelming.
It was 25,000 people, whatever they had, going absolutely.
There wasn't immediate.
But you know what?
What I watched, and it was very some of the fighters, two in particular, hated their opponent.
And this went on for months.
The fight, you know, was broadcast out, and they announced the fight, and the hatred was real.
It was the real deal.
These people have a lot of hatred, and they hate it.
And then the fight ended, and they're hugging and kissing in the ring.
They're down sitting on the hugging and kissing.
It's like nothing happened.
Happened on two fights.
There were tremendous animosity between the two fighters and the other two fighters.
And at the end, that's what happened.
And in a certain way, after we won against Hillary, people accept, you know, would say, lock her up, lock her up.
And I said, wouldn't it be terrible if I locked up the wife of the president of the United States former and locked up the former Secretary of State?
It's a terrible thing.
You know, you're starting off, you want to bring the country together.
I want to bring the country together.
And success does bring the country together because we had the most successful economy in the history of our country just prior to COVID.
And even at the end, I got it back.
It was an amazing thing.
But we had the most successful economy in history.
And I was getting calls from radical left people wanting to meet.
And I'm telling you, success.
African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, women, men, people with diplomas, people without diplomas, people that went to MIT, Harvard, and Wharton, people that didn't get out of high school.
The most successful economy we've ever had.
And people on the that I would say you call them on the radical left, call it whatever you want, liberal people, progressive people.
They were all calling and they were saying, let's get together.
This is amazing.
Nobody, no, every single group, nobody has ever done better than during that period of time in my administration during that period.
And they wanted to get together, and it would have happened.
We would have happened.
It was really something I'm not sure I would have been able to say to you that there was a way to unify.
Success will unify, and I think we're going to have a tremendous success.
We have to bring it back fast because this country is, we're a failing nation.
We are really a failing nation right now.
We're being laughed at all over the world.
There's two issues we're going to talk about.
One is what I think the Democrats are going to run on, and one I think are what the issues you will be running on.
Democrats, democracy, and peril.
January 6th, abortion, abortion, abortion.
All of these issues.
And then, of course, we have this with 153 days out of the election yesterday.
Joe Biden, who'd been telling America that the border's closed and the border's secure for over three years, and his vice president said it, and his spokespeople have said it, and his Department of Homeland Security Secretary said it.
Then all of a sudden they wanted to blame Republicans.
I don't have the power.
Meanwhile, they did undo all of your policies with the stroke of a pen.
Now, finally, yesterday, he implemented a new policy.
However, it's 2 million illegals a year.
Millions of people are allowed to come in.
It's meaningless.
It's a joke.
Everybody knows it.
It has nothing to do with border security.
And he didn't need anything from Congress.
All he has to do is shut the border.
You say, shut the border, sign an order, and the border will close.
I did it.
We had the best border, the safest border in history.
But your question is a large question because you're asking about a lot of things.
Take abortion.
For 52 years, people wanted to get rid of Roe v.
Wade.
And the people that wanted to do it were legal scholars, lawyers, policy.
Everybody wanted it to go back into the state system, not the federal system.
Let the states decide.
Let the states decide.
The people decide.
Let the states decide.
Quick break right back.
We'll continue more of my interview with President Trump on the other side.

All right, here's more of my interview from earlier this week with President Trump at Bar-a-Lago.
Open borders, crazy.
Men playing in women's sports, crazy.
So I think the Republican Party has done an amazing job in certain ways, but they've never understood how to talk about, and I agree with you, it's hurt the Republican Party, it's hurt some people.
Exceptions is very important.
I believe that.
But what we did is we took Roe v.
Wade out of the federal government, put it in the states, and now the people are deciding.
And in some cases, not everybody's happy, but the people are deciding.
And I say let the states decide.
This is every legal scholar wanted this to be where abortion should be.
And you know, I've been following the issue very closely, but over the years I've followed it less closely.
But I always noticed that they always wanted to move it back to the states.
Everybody.
And I was able to do that, and it's all happening, and it's happening correctly.
Let me ask you, are you following at all, the Hunter Biden trial?
I am.
Okay.
Let me ask you about two aspects of it.
There's the legal aspect of it.
Okay, case seems pretty overwhelming on the gun charge in this case, in my opinion.
He does not quite have this hostile venue in Delaware.
You had a very friendly venue.
I had the most hostile venue you could have.
We asked for a venue change, and we asked for a judge change.
None of which.
And they wouldn't do it.
Okay.
So, however, there's another aspect of it.
And it's something that if you look at, like, for example, the fentanyl flowing into this country that's killing our children in massive numbers.
And opioids killing our children in massive numbers.
There is this issue that is very real.
And I guarantee you, there's not a person that's watching this show that doesn't know somebody, family member, friend, neighbor, that hasn't had to deal with addiction.
You've had to deal with it in your life.
You don't drink.
No.
Never have.
No.
Never had a drink.
No.
I had a brother who suffered tremendously from alcoholism and alcohol.
And it was a terrible thing to watch.
He was an incredible guy with the best personality.
He was the best-looking person you've ever seen.
Everything was perfect, but he had an addiction.
And so I understand addiction because I, you know, it was very close.
He was very close to me.
He was an incredible guy.
But he suffered a tremendous, and I've had many friends, but my brother suffered tremendously from this addiction.
In fact, he was older than me, and he'd go out and say, never drink, never, ever drink.
Now, in those days, drugs were not prevalent.
You didn't have that.
But he'd say, never, ever drink.
He knew exactly what he was saying.
I used to say, what does he always say?
But I never had a drink.
I'm not bragging about it.
I know one thing about addiction, because a lot of people say, what do you tell children?
I say, if you don't have a drink, you're never going to have a problem.
If you do have a drink, you have a good chance that you'll be addicted.
Or drugs, because now its drugs are probably equal to or greater.
I mean, somewhat so bad.
And they're dying from a drug the size of a pinhead.
A little bit of fentanyl, literally what could fit on the end of a pin, can kill 10 people.
It's crazy and so dangerous out there.
And so many are dying where they think they're getting something and going to have a little fun on a Friday night, and all of a sudden they're dead because of the power of what's happening.
And the sad thing is that I had an agreement with President Xi of China.
I said, listen, you're killing our people.
It's going through Mexico, and Mexico is paying a big price also from me.
It's going through Mexico, coming through.
Most of it is 95% coming through the southern border.
I built 571 miles of wall.
And I had the Mexican army protecting us.
I said, you're either going to protect us or I'm going to charge you big tariffs.
And got along very well with the President of Mexico.
They gave us tremendous protection during the time.
We had the best level of numbers.
Nobody's ever had numbers like the best we've ever had in terms of illegal immigration.
In fact, my last week in office, we had less people coming into our country than at any time before.
But importantly, we also had drugs were down 19%, 20%, and that's not enough.
And by the way, you'll never really solve the drug problem unless you do what other countries do.
And that's the death penalty for drug dealers.
If you have the death, a drug dealer on average will kill during that person's life 500 people unless you have a death penalty, unless there's something that they're from.
Right now they don't even get charged with anything.
If you don't institute the death penalty for drug dealers, you'll never solve that problem.
You'll get it down to a number that, like I got it down, actually at one point it was 22% down.
That was a good thing.
You'll never solve the problem.
We set up committees, we set up all of this.
The cartels are run by very smart, very vicious people.
They're pouring drugs into our country.
Now, the number coming in now compared to four years ago is 12 times higher, drugs.
So it's not only people, it's not only human trafficking, it's drugs.
The drugs are pouring into our country totally unchecked.
Back to the hunter.
So you have sympathy for addiction, okay?
I think most Americans do.
Okay.
That's not what the trial is about.
And I think there are bigger issues involving the Biden family.
We touched on it earlier, and that is, okay, how does somebody with no experience get paid millions of dollars, goes on Good Morning America, no experience, oil, energy, gas, Ukraine, millions of dollars.
Then, of course, vice president at the time, Joe Biden, leverages a billion tax dollars to get a prosecutor investigating the company he's in business with, his son's in business with, fired within six hours using a billion of our dollars.
There are other things.
There are real legal issues.
Excuse me.
They're really big stuff.
And their trial is, look, I feel very badly for them in terms of the addiction part of what they have right now because I understand the addiction world.
And I've also, not only a brother, I've lost a lot of friends to addiction, drugs, alcohol, and there are other addictions also, frankly.
It wouldn't be nice if people would do certain things and live certain ways, but they're just not able to break it.
I've had friends that are so strong.
My brother was a strong person.
I've had friends that were so strong, so powerful.
They couldn't stay away from a glass of alcohol.
They couldn't stay away from a drug.
They had to have a drug.
But you know the way that you solve the problem?
Don't have them.
If you don't have a taste for alcohol, I remember when I was going to school, college, I had a friend.
He hated the taste of scotch, hated it.
It was like, but he wanted to develop it because socially he thought it was a good thing.
You know, sit down with the bankers and, you know, all at the Wharton School of Finance.
They want to have dinners with bankers, right?
That's their big thing.
And they wanted, he developed this taste for scotch.
And by the time he finished, he ended up being a very bad alcoholic.
I mean, 20, 25 years later, he ended up being an alcoholic and he couldn't stay away.
I say the way you stay away, just don't drink.
Just don't have it.
If you don't have drugs, if you don't experience early on, you're not going to have a need for it.
You're not going to have an addiction.
If you don't drink alcohol, you're not going to have an addiction.
You're not going to have this insatiable urge to have a drink.
And I say that to people.
With your children, they ask me, what do you think of children?
What do you tell them?
I say, no drugs, no alcohol.
I also say no cigarettes.
Don't have the cigarettes.
Don't have cigarettes.
Don't have them.
I have friends that can't stop smoking.
If they never had a cigarette before, they'd have no problem.
When I look at a friend that can't stop smoking, I don't understand why it's hard to stop.
You know, the smoke all over the place.
The fact is, if you never had a cigarette, I never had a cigarette.
I have no urge to smoke.
But if you are, you get addicted.
It has something, and you just can't stop.
Let me ask you, were you in the process of picking a vice president?
Because you're getting close.
Well, yeah, but I think I'll announce who that person is going to be during the convention.
I think that's pretty normal during the convention.
It'll be an interesting period of time.
You want to give me any names?
No, but we have a lot of good.
I'd love for you to give me names.
I know.
We have a lot of good.
You'll be certainly maybe the first to know, you know, in all fairness.
We have some people that have done a fantastic job in communicating the ills and the assets and the advantages and the disadvantages of what we're doing as a country and where we are as a country.
This is a very dangerous, this is a very dangerous time in America.
We have a very corrupt system of politics like we've never had before.
And we have to strengthen our elections and we have to strengthen our borders.
And we've got to do something with our country or we're not going to have a country left.
And, you know, we're talking about other countries and respect.
They don't respect our president right now.
And unless our president is respected, we are in great, really grave danger.
Yeah.
You know, there is this issue of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and I assume he's going to be in the ballot.
And I don't think a lot of conservatives have examined his record.
I'll scroll it now so I don't have to read it.
The NRA is a terrorist organization.
Hashtag keep it in the ground.
He doesn't want drilling.
He doesn't want fracking.
He doesn't want any energy independence at all.
He has gone with everybody from Obama, every radical left-winger.
And somehow they say that he's conservative.
And I think it really has to do with one issue, his opposition to the shot or the COVID shot or vaccination.
Which, by the way, I watched him the other night on a show, and he said he had no opposition to it all of a sudden.
But look, I knew him well.
He's radical left.
His family is very radical left, and they hate him for doing what because he's lying.
It's not like he grew up conservative.
He's very radical left.
He's hurt New England and he's hurt New York so badly because what they've done on energy is a disaster.
Their energy is through the roof because he doesn't want any drilling.
He doesn't want any fracking.
He doesn't want anything.
No coal.
He is a radical left guy.
And because he came out at one point strongly against all vaccines.
Now, is he against the polio vaccine?
Because polio was destroying the country.
It was destroying the world.
Let me ask you about the demographic shift that keeps showing up in poll after poll after poll.
And you mentioned these demographics earlier, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, young people.
That is a big part of the Democratic coalition.
And you've heard people like James Carville, like really angry.
And I've known James.
I've debated James over the years.
I like him.
Crazy, but like him.
And he's a smart guy.
And people like David Axelrod and Van Jones and even Maureen Dowd, you know, powerful voices in the Democratic Party, sensing that that coalition is crashing.
I would argue that the radicalized party of the left today is nothing like the old Democratic Party.
They've become the party of coastal elites.
And the Republican Party, especially under you, has become the party of hardworking Americans, you know, rank and file.
When you went out and you met those construction workers during your trial, you know, USA, USA, that wouldn't have happened maybe years ago, that a Republican would get that response.
Or when you went to New Jersey, were you a little surprised by the size of that crowd?
We had 107,000 people.
It's the biggest crowd they've ever had in New Jersey.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
But black people, African American people, are screaming toward us.
You know, I think one of the big reasons because they had the best economy, we had the best economy, best job numbers, best everything during my presidency.
Also, I funded the historically black colleges and universities.
I funded them.
They were coming to Washington every year, the presidents.
Every single year they were coming to Washington looking for money.
One of them, and I became friendly with a lot of them, they run the black colleges and universities, and they would ask, and I took care of them.
I gave them long-term financing, much more money than they wanted.
And they really like me, I will tell you, they really like me.
No Democrat did that.
But when you look at the things I did, criminal justice reform, I got criminal justice reform.
Obama couldn't get it.
Nobody could get it.
I've done more for black people than anybody since Abraham Lincoln.
And they understand it.
They really understand it.
And they also had the best job numbers they've ever had.
They had the best job numbers they've ever had during the Trump administration.
Let me ask you a couple of things.
Merrick Carl and tell us, by the way, for Hispanics also, Hispanics.
I think I'm above 50%.
This is, you know, to somebody watching that say, well, fortunately, so good about 50%.
Republicans are down at 8 and 9%.
I think I'm going to maybe win the Hispanic population.
We had a poll out today that African-American, 32% for Trump.
They look at this guy and he doesn't know where the hell he is.
He doesn't know he's alive.
And I think it's very hard for them to vote for him.
The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's Conservative Solutions.
Hey, since the terror attacks of October the 7th, anti-Semitism has been on the rise, not just in Israel, but we see it here in the U.S., college campuses.
We see it in Europe.
We see it in Australia, around the world.
Now, we have proudly partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
And today, I'm asking you, my great audience, to stand with us, with the IFCJ, to raise your voice, kind of like what Oscar Schindler did.
If you've never watched Schindler's list, you got to watch it.
Anyway, the pledge is simply asking Christians and Jews, but Christians especially stand with their Jewish brothers and sisters to never be silent, to show the Jewish people you support them, that they're not alone.
You support their right to win their war against radical Islamic terrorists, that they have us on their side.
Now, for the month of June, we're simply asking all Americans to go, and Christians in particular, to sign this pledge, which will be delivered to the president of Israel, showing that, yeah, here in America, we're standing in solidarity with Israel and speaking up about it.
Take a stand today.
Join us with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and let the people in Israel know that they're not alone here.
Now, if you just simply want to sign the pledge, it's easy.
Go to their website.
It's one word supportifcj.org.
That's supportifcj.org.
And please join us in taking a stand today.
