Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, clad you're with us eight hundred and nine
for one Sean Tolfrey telephone number. You want to be
a part of this extravaganza, all right? So here it
is day four, final night Republican National Conveni Convention. We
will be on the South Lawn tonight where the President
will address the entire nation. And I understand there's probably
(00:20):
gonna be about two thousand people there, which is a
big event. At least it's gonna have some life compared
to the boring, monotonous, dull hate fest of four days
of the DNC Convention. And you're gonna see and have
the ability now to compare and to contrast competing visions
(00:41):
for where we want to take this country. It couldn't
be any more clear, It couldn't be any more stark
in terms of what the choice is in sixty eight days,
when you are the old Toma jury, You've got you
got all things extreme radical democratic socialist versus liberty, freedom, capitalism, risk, reward, invention, innovation.
(01:05):
You see a party four days of hatred, four days
of cult like psychotic rage against all things Donald Trump,
versus a party that showed America and it's and it's
it's goodness, it's greatness, it's exceptionalism. And the people that
(01:26):
make it great were on display every single solitary night.
They were the real stars of the convention. And you know,
now now we've got Nancy Pelosi, Republicans or enemy of
the State. I wouldn't debate, don't tell, don't tell Joe Biden.
I wouldn't debate Donald Trump if I were Biden. We're
(01:47):
gonna get into all of this year, and I will tell.
And you see people from all backgrounds, all races, uh speaking,
participating at this convention stories I'm sure many and most
of you have never heard before. Now, by the way,
in spite of predictions of twenty five percent unemployment, well
now the unemployment rate is below ten percent. I personally
(02:11):
did not think jobs would be coming back. This quickly
came back a lot faster than I thought. There was
a Wall Street Journal piece back to low growth. The
impact of Joe Biden's tax plan would be less income
across the spectrum and a sluggish economy. Later, we're gonna
play the comments the one decision alone Joe Biden. If
(02:33):
you recall, remember Joe Biden, actually you know described in
detail how you know he would shut down all coal
burning plants that he would not only am I not
opposed to the New Green Deal. My plan goes beyond it.
You know, no new oil drilling or fracking on federal lands.
Kamala Harris, I would ban fracking. She actually uttered the words, Okay,
(02:58):
let me tell you what that means. Let me inpret
that for you. That means the lifeblood of the world's economy.
Now that we are energy independent for the first time
in seventy five years, that means we now rely again
on countries in the Middle East, many of whom happened
to hate our guts. And what does that mean? They
(03:19):
get to charges pretty much any darned price they want
to charge. There's a reason now oil prices are so low.
And and don't think collusion doesn't happen with the Saudis
and other countries and Russia. Russia, Yeah, the hostile nation.
It is led by the hostile actor, you know, the
one that colluded with Hillary on the dirty Russian dossier
(03:39):
full of Russian disinformation that was used in the twenty
sixteen election that Russia Putin's. Russia. Yeah, that hostile You
know that the mob in the media is ignored. It's
like the dossier never happened. It's like the Russian misinformation
never happened. It's just like you know, erasing subpoenion emails
never happened, and the eating them never happened, and destroying
(04:02):
device has never happened. And bleached bit what did that?
Never heard of it before? That's the sick world that
the mob and the media would take you in. All
of this is on the ballot in sixty eight days
from today. You know, there's a great story. Where did
I see this? I'm trying to remember. I found it somewhere.
I apologize for not remembering the liberal media, the mob
(04:26):
ignoring one of the biggest stories in the convention, the
president of the United States. You know, you think of
the speakers at this convention, and you think of everybody,
every race, every background, every creed, every religion participating. Did
you see what did you see at the Democratic Convention?
Michael Goodwin has a good point in his column today.
(04:47):
Michael Goodwin, for two weeks I think has been the
best writer in the country on analyzing what's going on
in these conventions, you know, and that is about law
and order and how he says that the President has
staked out a position the fender of America. By the way,
a little late, but now in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Well, now
that the governor finally got up off his ass and
(05:09):
is now requested to help, President Trump was more than
willing to give to every big city. Well, they were
storing law and order, in safety and security for the
people of Kenosha that deserve all of that. Every American
has a right to live in a safe neighborhood, town
city so that they can have their pursuit of happiness.
(05:30):
That is basic, That is fundamental. You don't have safety,
you don't have security, you don't have law, you don't
have order, you don't have a shot. If you were
worried about a one year old getting shot in a
stroller in a park, or what worried that you know,
mom might make a wrong turn into a autonomous chad
zone like what happened in Atlanta, or that you might
(05:53):
actually leave your house or maybe not even leave your
house in Chicago on an average weekend, or know what?
How many were now on three straight months of violence
in Portland? Are you kidding me? Democrats didn't even mention
it for the four days they had their convention. Nine words,
Carl Rod reminded me, and he'll be on later today.
(06:14):
Nine words. Joe Biden uttered about safety and security in
our cities. They did, they didn't acknowledge that this is
happening in this country. And back to Michael Goodwin. You know, finally,
now I guess Joe's being pressured because well, first of all,
why is Joe unwilling to call it what it is?
This is anarchists taking over cities. The rioting is organized
(06:37):
and orchestrated, that businesses and lives are lost, and policemen
are injured and killed, and then they can't even mention
a word about it. You know, do we talk about
every cop that dies every year in the line of duty?
Do we talk about you know, I was the only
one that I know of in media during Barack and
(06:58):
Joe's eight years that would scroll names that you've never
heard before of the people that were shot in Barack
Obama's hometown of Chicago, and I'd scroll them. They barely
mentioned it, never mind lift a finger to fix anything.
I mean, how is that possible that you just ignore simple, basic,
(07:19):
fundamental truth and reality? And so you know, all right, Joe. Finally,
I guess somebody said, Joe, you got to read this, Joe,
you gotta send out this tweet. Joe, memorize ju line.
We'll put it in a teleprompt and ready, all right,
three two one? Go, am I on, am I on? Yet? No, okay, no,
we'll do it again. All right, ready, Joe, three two one?
(07:40):
Take off your should I take off my glasses now?
Three two one. So he finally says something, How is it?
What is the number one job of elected official? Safety
Security law order? No, Kamala Harris sure, one hundred and
fifty billion. That's a good thing. Defunding the APD. By
(08:01):
the way, it's a majority minority police force. Sixty percent
of the police force happens to be Hispanic Americans, you know.
And not every cop is horrible. There are bad cops.
You know who's been advocating all extra training me? The
(08:22):
guy that you know is an old person that has
been doing martial arts. I'm a student of martial arts
for seven years. An hour and a half a day,
four or five days a week, minimum of four And
why why? Because number one, it makes me strong, It
makes me mentally tough, It makes me physically stronger and
I can defend myself. And we do everything crab magaw
(08:46):
kempo Japanese jiu jitsu uh, we do sticks, blades, firearms,
we do situational u defensive training in under any circumstances.
Every person in this country wants to be safe and
secure so that their kids can grow up safe and secure.
They get a big fat f and every one of
(09:07):
these cities run by liberal Democrats for decades now. The
reason Joe won't talk about it because that might anger
the anarchists, that might anger the crazy part of his base.
He has spent the entire election so far trying to
appease the crazies, you know, Bolshevik Bernie. Now as his
economics are aoc is New Green Deals, are you go?
(09:29):
My plan goes further than the New Green Deal? Oh great,
And you wonder why, Joe. Latest polling released again shows
that you got no convention bump, which has never happened.
You know, one insider in Biden's game, we expected a surge.
It didn't happen. And you know, polling released well yesterday
(09:51):
showed Biden and the Democrats zero convention bump following four
days of televised events of the DNC. Okay, you got
your lunatic fringe base. What about every other every American
wants safety and security. Now you got the news media.
They're hitting the panic button because the riots might torpedo
(10:12):
Biden's poll numbers over there at toddling the rioting. There's
what he said. It has to stop. It's showing up
in the polling, it's showing up in the focus groups.
It's the only thing right now that is sticking. Okay, look,
how about we just forget about politics for one second here.
How about we keep safety security law in order because
(10:35):
it's the right thing to do. I know that might
sound like a radical idea. How about we protect families
and children. How about we you know, how about that
eight year old in Atlanta, This beautiful girl shouldn't have died.
The one year old kid inside the stroller in a
park in New York City shouldn't be dead today. The
seven year old beautiful girl in Chicago dying in a
grandma's backyard on fourth of July week, It shouldn't be
(10:58):
dead today. We shouldn't have had to had be the
first person to even reach out to Horace Anderson Lorenzo
Anderson Senior losing his nineteen year old son and his
chop and Chad zone. And the media is complicit in
this denial, you know, I mean it's a joke, fake
news CNN. Literally you have burning everywhere behind their reporter.
(11:22):
I mean a city ablaze, cars stripped on fire and
burning what is their lower third. It's fiery but mostly
peaceful protests. I'm like, look at your own pictures. Are
you that stupid? You have? Governor nome Now is giving
her speech last night over there at ms DNC. They've
(11:43):
they've interrupted seventy one minutes to fact check and theres
you know, Roswell Rachel Maddow on her conspiracy Theory channel interrupting.
We must now interrupt, and uh, you know, as we said,
we will interject when we feel that there's something that's
important and deliberate and very wrong that should be corrected,
just so that we feel responsible about our broadcast. In
(12:06):
this case, Governor g Noam just said from Seattle in
Portland to Washington and New York, Democrat runs cities across
the country of being overrun by violent mobs. The violence
is rampant. Joining us now is the mayor of Seattle,
Jenny Durkin, who said the caricature of major US cities
is not only wrong, it's peacefully protest, it's it's purposely wrong.
(12:29):
Excuse me, you didn't call Horace Lorenzo Anderson Senior first?
I did? Mayor? What the hell is wrong with you?
You're the one saying this is going to be a
summer of love zone. How long is it going to continue?
I know it could be a whole summer of love Well,
we have dead people in your summer of love zone,
others injured in your summer of love zone. Cops and
(12:53):
emergency workers begging, we're just here to help the those
that are injured, and they can't get through the mob
that you allowed to take over city streets in Seattle
and every injury and you're all complicit in this. What
the hell is wrong with your ability to see simple
basic truth reality? How do you deny the images and
(13:16):
how do you deny the death and the violence that's
unfolding right before your eyes? Open your eyes for crying
out loud for the safety and security of all of
your citizen read it is a disservice not to protect
an US in people that's on the ballot in sixty
eight days, all of it all right, We'll be in
(13:37):
the South Lawn tonight with our coverage, best coverage on
TV and radio. Sixty eight days the ultimate jury. Are
you getting what we're up against here? In sixty eight days?
Are all of you understanding what's happening? Do you not
see what is at stake here? And this mob in
the media, they just lie. They've lied for four years.
(13:58):
They've been proven wrong with the hoax, their conspiracy theories,
their raids, their hatred, their cult like obsessive, compulsive rage
against Donald Trump. You decide if this country's gonna buy
into this socialist utopia. If we do, bye by capitalism
dies with it, freedom and liberty goes away. And those
(14:21):
promises of everything free, I promise you this, I promise you,
those promises will never be fulfilled. All right, live free
or die? America? The world on the brink, and you
are the ultimate jury in just sixty eight short days,
and this election matters. The stated policies, if ever implemented,
would be an unmitigated failure and disaster. And all Joe
(14:46):
Biden has done is catered to his left wing base,
programming note tonight from the south lawn of the White
House where the President now the final night grescendo here
of the Republican National Convention Light. I mean, what a
difference the adults are in charge versus you know, the
the college kidlike podcast that we saw last week, full
(15:07):
of rage and hate and and I hate Trump one
mantra um. So tomorrow night, by the way, we'll be
doing a wrap up. I'm just taking questions town hall.
Everybody's invited. Also, I've been able to sign more copies
of Live Free or Dive if you want to an
autograph copy to Marrows the night to get it. Uh,
(15:28):
this is like the last batch of them. Um. But
that's a seven Eastern coming the way, and uh, just participate.
I'm all I'm doing. The whole time is answering your questions.
You know, I'm gonna say, all right, first question boom
and go right to it. That's Tomorrow's seven. We'll put
the link up at Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com
Live for you or die forty percent off support for
(15:48):
Black Lives Matters plunge. Now, Uh, this is the group.
Remember we make the distinction. New Pole out of Wisconsin
shows the support there dropped what they're team percent. Between
June and early August Marquette Law School poll sixty one
percent of residents approved of the movements protesting. You see,
(16:09):
I think I do think there's conflation going on to
people complaining things here that there's you know, does black
lives matter? The group what do we want dead cops?
When do we want them now? Pigs in a blanket,
priam like bacon, and you know other controversial, crazy things
that have been said by leaders of quote that movement.
And then people after the death of George Floyd, peaceful protesters,
(16:32):
the majority of them with you know, righteous indignation. There
was there was universal agreement that can't happen in this
country again. And but they would chant black lives matter
different from the group black lives Matter. I just got
to make the distinction. The President now will restore order
because the governor, after three days and three nights in
(16:54):
a row in Kenosha, Wisconsin, finally has requested the President
health and the President, yeah, I'm sending federal law enforcement
in the National Guard to restore law in order. And
guess what last night they restored law in order. I mean,
it's I don't think This is difficult, it's not pleasant.
(17:15):
Nobody wants to do it. Cops don't want to do it.
Cops don't want to be in conflict with residents. But
how many now cops are gonna be you know, hit
with bricks and rocks and canes and bats and nut
and shot at with guns and knives attacking them and
(17:35):
molotov cocktails? How many businesses that can be burned to
the ground before you realize it's real? Not on fake
news CNN, Oh, it's mostly peaceful. What did they say
about the Chaz Chop spaghetti potluck dinner Autonomous Summer of
Love zone in Seattle? Oh, it's a festive like atmosphere
(17:56):
as these idiots on fake news CNN and MSDNC is
saying it. The anarchists are saying, this is not a
peaceful zone. This is not a festive zone. What the
hell are you reporting? And got challenged live on the
air by the people that there's Oh, I didn't know.
And they walk around in circles because they're kind of
chasing them around in circles, almost like a street festival
(18:19):
type atmosphere, street festival with a very It is not
a festival with a very intentional purpose. It is not
a street festival. It is not a street festival. Do
not say that for saying that. Shame on you for lying.
That's what they said at the time. Oh oh, it's
not a festival. It's like festival like atmosphere. Yeah, people
dying there. Mayor Durkan dead in your Summer of Love zone.
(18:44):
And I did you call Horace Lorenzo Anderson Senior and
apologize for the death of his son, Horace Lorenzo Anderson Junior,
who nineteen died in your Summer of Love zone. By
the way, Now, guess what You're being sued for three
billion dollars and I hope mister Anderson gets every penny
(19:05):
of it. After you promised everybody in Seattle that that
was a Summer of Love safe zone. When you allowed
a police precinct to be taken over where the cops
and the paramedics and first responders had to beg with
bullhorns to get in to offer help. And that was
on the ninth that Horace Lorenzo Anderson Junior died. When
(19:27):
you get shot, seconds matter, you have a heart attack,
seconds matter, a bad bleedout accident, seconds matter, and the
police have to beg to get in to do the job.
You know what cop want Who wants to be a
cop today? Nobody's gonna want to be a police officer.
And I will tell you, you know, we should learn
(19:48):
from mistakes here. And one of the things I've been
advocating for more training. Why do I say that, Well,
I just happened to be a student of martial arts
for seven years and I could tell you that if
you have somebody in handcuffs like George Floyd, you don't
need to do anything but manipulate two fingers that you
have access to that they can't stop you from taking.
(20:09):
And you manipulate them, you don't break the fingers. It's
really it's just all a will guarantee compliance, immediate compliance.
It's that, you know, It's that simple. How about alternatives?
You know, I mentioned, you know Berner their non lethal firearms,
that they have a non lethal alternative. I'm not the
(20:32):
biggest fan of the stun gun with the wires. I'm
just not that's close quarters. You know. One of the
good things about like the birth you put a laser
on it. You don't have to be a marksman like I. Well,
I'm not a Marksman anymore because I can't see. I
can't see anything. I literally, you know, I put lasers
on all my weapons now because I can't see. I
used to be able to see. I had a squeeze
(20:55):
and I had to focus and I had a really
you know, I'm good at that part. I'm like, okay,
there's three people there. I only you know, I just
don't see far. I have a hard time reading the
teleprompting now when our glasses on, I just can't read it.
You know, you get older, I gotta go by. I
gotta go see an optometris that what is Yeah? The
professional guy? I do. I can't see um. Alice Murray Johnson,
(21:19):
by the way, was let's see pardon by Donald Trump
was put away for life under the Biden sponsored bill.
Alice Murray Johnson will be speaking tonight. I love her.
I absolutely love that woman. Gotten to know her. I
would say she's a friend, and I hope she would
have saved one of the two nice things about me.
I don't know, but I think the world of her.
(21:40):
Goes to jail life sentence sentence, first time offender. She's
the first to admit what he did was wrong. She
more than paid for her time. She ran Bible study
after Bible study after Bible study. Would counsel these younger
kids and thinking she never has a shot at getting
out a jet. Donald Trump did it criminal justice for form.
(22:00):
It's called uh, you know, just like, oh, you can't
have a pardon and put it in a Republican national convention.
Why not? Oh, we found out that there were twelve
cabinet officials in the Obama administration that were part of
the convention in twenty twelve. Oh, double standard again. I mean,
it's just unbelievable. It's not hard to restore order. But
(22:22):
we gotta give cops more options. There's gotta be more
non lethal alternatives. The perfect case would be the Raychchard
Brooks case. Okay, you had an alternative rather than this
shooting in might if they if we give the cops
the alternative, they don't have it. Now, they don't have it. Now,
get that we're America, for crying out loud, We have
(22:43):
ballistic missiles, they can travel the globe and back, and
we can, you know, develop non lethal options so that
if a cop makes a mistake, he's got another he's
got another option available, another tool in his arsenal. Literally,
that won't be taking somebody's life. Let's give that to
(23:04):
them so that they can do a better job and
and not just have that final you know option. And
you know, well, Joe Biden, you can shoot him in
the leg that you don't you don't. Oh, he's so stupid.
You don't aim. If you have any knowledge of firearms,
you don't eat. Let me shoot you in the leg, okay,
(23:24):
and then when the bullet ricochets and hits an innocent bystander,
good luck with that. Uh. You go for top mass center.
That's the target, that's what they're trained to target. But
you don't want to get to that point is the
poll point? There are there are other options. It is
so frustrating to me that we don't, you know, think
(23:46):
out of the box. With the United States of America
where we are, you know, the heart and soul of
nuclear energy, of defense, weaponry, predator drones, we can come
up with a non lead the alternative for cops rather
than just having one option option the nuclear option to
(24:08):
use that which is to pull out a fire and
when you pull it out, by the way, guess what
you've got. You don't pull it out unless you're gonna
use it. It's it's just so frustrating Democrats complaining about
a Pompeo. Oh yeah, let's say six. I'm sorry, I
(24:28):
said twelve. Six Obama Cabinet of members spoke at the
twenty twelve convention. Oopsie, daisy. Let's see we had Secretary
of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sambilious. You know she's
the one that lied about you get to keep your doctor,
keep your plan, and save on average twenty five hundred
dollars per family a year. Well, just the opposite happened.
(24:48):
Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar, he spoke. Secretary of Agriculture
Tom Bill Sack spoke, Secretary of Education Arnie Duncan spoke.
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Ernie Shinseki also spoke. Karen Mills,
administrator of the US Small Business Administration, you know, elevated
(25:09):
in the in the cabinet to the cabinet level position
in the Obama years. Oh, that would be media hypocrisy again,
the mob lying to you. Yet again, we have AOC
saying liberals should take the elephant mascot from the GOP
because they are compassionate creatures. I don't even know what
to say about this madness. Democrats are in a panic
(25:32):
because voters are turning away from the left's unending violence.
Why is Joe Biden so reluctant because he already adopted
the they become the enemy his words. He can run
and hide all he wants. He said it. And of
course we'll redistribute funds elsewhere that would be defund and
(25:54):
Kamala Harris more honest, praising the the defunding of the
LAPD by one hundred and fifty billion dollars. Oh so
now that they can't get Mike Pompeo over. Speaking at
the convention, Susan Rice is saying, well, he's problematic as
Secretary of State because he's overtly religious. Oh my goodness,
(26:14):
you mean freedom of religion exists in America. It was
an interesting New York Post sort of water cooler topic.
As we say in talk radio, liberal Democrats are more
likely to shut down political talk over disagreement. Yeah, I
would say that that would be true. I'd say that
is probably mainstream. So it's all at stake, and it's
sixty eight days away, and this is the most important
(26:36):
election in our lifetime. This is it. It's all on
the line. Care about law and order, safety, security? Okay, Wait,
who are you gonna vote for? Who do you trust?
You care about lower taxes or higher? You want higher taxes?
You want open borders or you want secure borders. Do
you want the United Sanctuary States of America where we're
gonna pay for every illegal immigrants healthcare, education, etc. Or
(27:00):
do you want people that get the highly coveted positions
three hundred miles of wall Donald Trump built. It wasn't easy.
Had to go it alone because nobody wanted to help him,
the same people that were all for it in Obama's
second term. That would be liberal Democrats, by the way,
Vice President Pence after the news at the top of
the hour, I mean, so you have day four. Wow,
(27:21):
American greatness, American exceptionalism, no one, not a perfect union,
but we have a constitution that allows us to right wrongs,
correct injustices, and become a more perfect union. And why
didn't Joe and Barrock do anything after Ferguson, Well, they
did have their own Justice Department exonerate officer Darren Wilson,
(27:43):
and it hands up, don't shoot, never happened. Freddy Gray
guess what. Not one of the cops were ever indicted.
I'm sorry we ever found guilty of anything. I told
you that very early on, because I actually did some legwork.
I knew in Ferguson and that there would be eye
witnesses that back up Officer Darren Wilson's claims. It's like,
(28:06):
we're like right with Richard Jewel, Uva, Duke Lacrosse, Cambridge Police,
you name it, We're right, they're wrong. Obama and his
radical associations guiding his principles. I was right. He just
tried to hide it a lot more than Joe did.
Now we have Nancy Pelosia. I wouldn't debate Donald Trump.
I wouldn't legitimize a conversation with him. Unbelievable times we're
(28:29):
living in. How do you not mention law and order
and the violence of American cities and you want to
lead this country? Are you out of your mind? Is America?
I mean, on this one issue alone, you're disqualified. How
is that possible? You know, Joe makes a list of
everything you do with coronavirus. Problem is everything you do
on coronavirus? Donald Trump already did an operation. You know,
(28:53):
President Trump's Operation Warp Speed final human stage trials for
a vaccine, Great Provements on Therapeutics eight hundred ninety four
one Shawn, if you want to join us, By the way,
Live pri Or Died, the whole case laid out. It's
all laid out, and livepri Or Die. America, the world
on the brink off Amazon dot Com, books, a million,
(29:16):
Barnes and Noble Costco, target Walmart. The heroes who held
this fort took their stand for life, liberty, freedom in
the American flag, and those ideals have defined our nation.
But they were hardly ever mentioned and last week's Democratic
(29:39):
National Convention instead, Democrats spent four days attacking America. Joe
Biden said that we were living through a season of darkness,
but as President Trump said, where Joe Biden sees American darkness,
(30:00):
we see American greatness. Joe Biden says that America is
systemically racist and that law enforcement in America as and
I quote an implicit bias against minorities. When asked whether
he'd support cutting funding law enforcement, Joe Biden replied, yes, absolutely.
(30:25):
Joe Biden would double down on the very policies that
are leading to violence in America's cities. The hard truth
is you won't be safe in Joe Biden's America. And
under President Trump, we will always stand with those who
stand on the thin blue line, and we're not going
to defund the police, not now, not ever. All Right.
(30:49):
That was Vice President Mike Pence last night Fort McHenry,
Day three of the Republican National Convention. What a difference
of a week makes a vice as an in pense
joins us right now, mister Vice President starts an honor
to have you. It was an honor to be at
Fort McHenry. It will be at an honor to be
on the South Lawn tonight broadcasting Hannity. Wow, what a
(31:10):
difference a week makes, Sean great to be with you.
Thank you for thank you for being there last night
at Fort McHenry. Karen and I were, We're deeply moved
to be in that setting, to be among those heroes.
I know, I know that President Trump in the first
(31:31):
lady felt the same way. But it was it was
a night to remember. But also I hope, I hope
the whole of this convention has laid out to the
American people the choice that we face in this election.
As as I said, last night, I honestly believe with
(31:53):
all of my heart that while the Democrats said that
democracy is on the ballot, I believe that our economic
recoveries on the ballot. Law and orders on the ballot,
but things much more foundational to our country or on
the ballots. Not whether America will be more conservative or liberal,
more Republican or Democrat, more blue or red. It's whether
(32:15):
America remains America. And the privilege to be there at
Fort McHenry, where two hundred and sixty years ago Americans
took their stand, defended our nation, defended our flag. To
be able to deliver that message is something I'll cherish
the rest of my life. It was it's a special place.
(32:35):
You went into the history somewhat last night. What I
find amazing You know here you have a ticket. I've
never seen this in all the years. I'm thirty three
years sir in radio, I believe it or not, I
look younger right, I'm twenty five years now in the
Fox News Champion bet and it's I haven't gone full
(32:57):
on white like you, but I'm getting there. But I
think you've more stressful job than I do. It's the
mileage I have plenty of miles on this old car.
But here's my thought. We have we have in this country.
How is it possible that nine words, only nine words,
(33:19):
were uttered by Joe Biden about what three months of
violence in Portland. We see what's happening in cities like
New York. We see what's happening in Seattle. You know,
in the in the Obama Biden years, I used to
scroll the names that nobody ever heard of, people shot
that weekend in Chicago, people murdered that weekend in Chicago,
(33:41):
and I run the whole list. No, but it names
nobody ever heard. If we don't have law, order, safety, security,
Mister Vice President, how do you how is it possible
to pursue happiness? Is it possible? By everything begins with security.
Security is the foundation of our press disparity. And that's
why President Trump is absolutely committed to law and order,
(34:07):
beginning with standing with the men and women who serve
in law enforcement every day. You know, last night, it
was my privilege to pay tribute to a fallen police officer,
David Patrick Underwood. He was with the Department of Homeland
Securities Protective Service. He was shot and killed during riots
in Oakland. His sister was with us to be able
(34:30):
to be able to express our sympathies and our support,
as I know is the opinion of virtually every American.
I mean, these police officers put their lives on the
line every single day to protect and serve, and everything
begins with standing with law enforcement. But the point I
also wanted to make last night, and I hope, I hope,
(34:53):
I hope we were able to begin to make it
with Americans that hadn't heard this yet. With President Donald Trump,
we believe that you don't have to choose between supporting
the men and women who serve in law enforcement and
supporting our African American community and other minorities that live
in our major cities. We've done both for three and
(35:16):
a half years, and we'll continue to do both for
four more years. Sean, you look at the record of
this administration, this president. We provided resources for four thousand
more police officers through the Cops Program. On the streets,
We've provided resources and support the law enforcement. You see
police officers unions endorsing President Trump almost every day around
(35:39):
this country. And at the same time, though I couldn't
be more proud to be Vice President to a president
whose economic policies saw the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded
for African Americans. He signed he signed a record investment
in historically black colleges and universities. We've fought for school choice,
(36:00):
build the school choice program in Washington, DC that that
President Barack Obama and Joe Biden set aside, and add
add to all of that, and to all of that
that we've we've been standing up for law and order
in our streets. And as I said last night, we
are going to have law and order for every American
(36:23):
in all our cities and towns, and for every American
of every race and creed and color. The American people
have every right to deserve that. And President Donald Trump
and I are are going to continue to stand for
that principle. We're going to fight for that principle. And
why while literally you have the Democrats who last week
in their conventions spoke not one word about the about
(36:45):
the chaos and mayhem and rioting in major cities around
the country. You've heard one speaker after another address that issue.
This is this is this is about the future of
our country, and everything begins with the safety and securities
American people historically, mister Vice president, after somebody secures a nomination,
(37:07):
and I would argue Donald Trump stayed the same. I
mean Donald Trump, and you pointed this out last night.
He means what he says. He says what he means,
and in other words, he didn't move right together a
nomination and then move back to the center. But he's
now we have Joe Biden. I think it's a position
of weakness, has adopted who used to be an outlier
(37:29):
Bolshevic Bernie. I call him his economic plan, as the
President calls it the Bernie Sanders Joe Biden Manifesto. He
not only supports the New Green Deal, but he actually
said my plan goes beyond it. He's pledging trillions of
dollars to AOC's New Green Deal. To the left of
Bernie Sanders is Kamala Harris, who you will be debating.
(37:53):
There's never been a major party in America with an
agenda stated agenda this radical in this gree Well, to
your point, you need to look no further than what
Bernie Sanders said. I thought it was important to quote
Bernie Sanders in his address at the Democrat National Convention.
(38:14):
John when I spoke last night, he said. He said
many of the ideas that he had fought for that
a few years ago were considered his words were considered
radical are now mainstream in the Democratic Party. That's what
Bernie Sanders said. I know Bernie Sanders. I served in
(38:35):
the Congress with Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders is an unapologetic socialist.
And for him to stand up and you look at
their unity agenda and for all the things that you said,
and we spoke about them last night, the choice in
this election has never been clear. Where we cut taxes
by more than five trillion, Joe Biden, in the middle
(38:57):
of a global pandemic, wants to raise taxes by we're
trillion dollars. He wants to bury our economy under a
two trillion dollar version of the Green New Deal. I mean,
all of the policies, one after another, I think lay
out the kind of choice that I relish the opportunity.
(39:19):
I'm headed out tomorrow. I'm going to be in Minnesota.
We're going to be taken our case all across this country,
and I think we're gonna win four more years for
President Donald Trump in the White House. If the stated
policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are implemented. In
other words, Kamala Harris had said that she supported defunding
(39:43):
the LAPD one hundred and fifty million dollars. Joe Biden
he can run as much as he wants, but he
said police become the enemy, and he would reallocate funds
away from the police. He said it if that policy
if opened borders, if that policy is implement ant, it
in free healthcare for people that didn't respect our law, sovereignty, borders, etc.
(40:05):
If their plan, Kamala Harris said, I would ban fracking.
Joe Biden literally said, no new oil drilling or fracking
on federal lands. My plan goes beyond the New Green Deal.
We have to shut down all coal burning plants, Joe
Biden said. So they promise everything is going to be
(40:26):
free from cradle to gray, womb to tomb, and they're
going to get rid of the lifeblood of the world's economy.
And Donald Trump has brought us to energy independence of
where now the world's largest producer of energy for the
first time in seventy five years. Would what would the
stated plans, if implemented, make this country look like, Well,
(40:48):
that's why I said last night, I think the question
the issue in this election is whether America remains America. Look,
we have built and this president vibe the strongest, most
prosperous nation in the history of the world. I mean,
in three short years, we went back on the path
(41:11):
the Americans have always tried, strong national defense, low taxes,
less regulation, develop our natural resources, stand for the values
of life, religious liberty, all all the values the Second
Amendment that have always been to the foundation, put America
first in our foreign policies, stand for law and order.
(41:33):
And President the President laid all all of that out
over the last three years. And the Democrats right now, Sean,
You've said it well. I mean Joe Biden and the
Democratic Party have been overtaken by the radical left. I
mean their agenda, among other things, is higher taxes, socialized medicine,
open borders, abortion on demand. And I must tell you,
(41:57):
I really do believe, I really do believe that when
the when the President addresses the nation tonight, you're going
to hear him. You're going to hear him lay out
that choice to the American people. We have some wonderful
speakers over the course of this week. I spoke to
Senator Tim Scott today, I thought he was just I
thought he was just inspiring on Monday night, and the
(42:18):
first lady in the Rose Garden, Karen and I were
privileged to be there. And then one speaker after another
I saw. I saw herschel Walker today who spoke about
his thirty seven year relationship with this president and the
and the President Donald Trump that he knows as a man,
(42:39):
and and their mutual commitment of faith and freedom. But tonight,
I think the American people are going to hear You're
going to hear this president lay out our record. You're
gonna hear this president lay out of vision for the future.
But you're going to hear him lay out the choice.
And I truly do believe that it's a choice of
whether whether we are going to conte you our nation
(43:02):
on the path of the ideals and in values that
have always made America great and will make America great again,
or whether we're going to take a hard left turn
away from all of those ideals and principles and take America,
take America somewhere other than we've ever been before. And
(43:23):
I promise you we're gonna, We're gonna, We're gonna travel
this nation. We're gonna take this message, and I truly
too believe we're gonna We're gonna win four more years
for President Donald Trump in the White House. For stations
along the Sean Hannity Show network, we're continuing our coverage
with Vice President. Uh, Mike Pencils with us. Uh. It's
(43:44):
fascinating to me. So I watched the Democrats and it
was pretty much I Hate Trump fest, and I hated
it more than you hate him fest. And then they
talked a lot about coronavirus. But from the end days
after the first identified case, which was January twenty first
(44:05):
of this year, I mean, that's how it wasn't that
long ago. Ten days later, President Trump put in place
to first travel band. There was subsequent travel bands in
the first quarantine to want fifty sixty years, and Joe
Biden called that travel band historical xenophobia and fearmongering. The
rest of the Senate was in the middle of their
Ukrainian impeachment hoax, and of course ignoring Joe Biden bragging
(44:29):
about his quid pro quofa zero experience hunter but putting
that aside, and I look at where we are now.
And today, and Joe Biden was asked what he would
do on coronavirus, and he gives a list and every
single every single lighting me mentioned you guys had already done. Sean.
It's the reason why we wanted to talk about this
(44:52):
president's record in responding to the coronavirus pandemic last night.
I mean, look, we we grieve, as I said last night,
we grieved for the more than one hundred and eighty
thousand families that have lost loved once in the course
of this pandemic. But but I have to tell you
that from the moment this president suspended all travel from
China before the end of January, stood up the White
(45:14):
House Coronavirus Task Force. We have brought up not only
a whole of government, but a whole of America response
to this effort. I mean, we started working on a
vaccine the first week of February when the nih first
got the genetic coding for the vaccine. And I just
got a report. We had the White House Coronavirus Task
(45:36):
Force that met today. I just got another report that
that we are making steady progress. We're in phase three
clinical trials in record time, and I believe we will
have the first coronavirus vaccine tens of millions of doses
for the American people before the end of this year.
(45:57):
When we started this process, we were doing testing in
state of laboratories and CDC labs. When I was asked
at the end of February to lead the Coronavirus Task Force,
we had done eight thousand coronavirus tests total. Now we
do eight hundred thousand tests a day. We've distributed billions
(46:18):
of personal protective equipment. We manufactured one hundred thousand ventilators
in one hundred days. We've been distributing therapeutics and medicines.
I must tell you we mourn with those who mourn,
and grieve with those who grieve, and we will never
never diminish the losses that American families have experienced. But
(46:39):
when I see the way the American people have responded,
our healthcare community has responded, and the way that this
President has led all fifty states and territories to respond
to this, I just I couldn't be more proud of
this country and couldn't be more proud to serve along
beside this president and all the second guessing by Joe
(46:59):
Biden and his running mate won't won't change the fact
of what this president did and how wrong Joe Biden was.
Your point is exactly right. When the President shut off
all travel from China, Sean, I can tell you for
a fact, that saved countless American lives. It bought us
(47:20):
invaluable time to stand up an industrial response across this country,
the likes of which we hadn't done since World War Two.
I mean, the truth is, we knew that many people
actually died in northern Italy when the coronavirus pandemic struck
there because the hospitals were overwhelmed because they didn't have equipment,
(47:44):
they didn't have supplies. But when the presidents looked, he
looked at the second largest economy in the world, and
before there was a first community transmission case in this country,
the President shut off all travel from China. He said,
We're going to put the health of America first. We're
going to stand up Coronavirus Task Force that gave us
the opportunity to launch this massive mobilization to make sure
(48:08):
our incredible doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers had the PPE,
had the equipment, We scaled out the testing to meet
this moment, so we're we'll have that debate in the
days ahead. But I must tell you that the president's
foresight in making that decision as he did in January,
(48:29):
made an enormous difference in our national response. And I
wanted people to be clear that we're not going to rest.
We're not going to relent until until the day comes
that we have that vaccine and we put the coronavirus
in the past. Last question, mister Vice President, thank you
for being generous with your time. Nancy Pelosi's urging Biden
(48:52):
not to debate and labeling Republicans enemies of the state
your final remarks, and then I know you have to run. Well,
I wouldn't dignify the second comment, but but I will
tell I understand why she wouldn't want Joe Biden to
debate President Trump. I mean, I remember those debates back
(49:15):
in twenty sixteen, and this is a president who knows
how to communicate directly to the American people. And I'm
I got to tell you, Sean, you you know him
longer and better than most. And I'm just counting the days.
I'm counting the days to the President Donald Trump and
Joe Biden on the stage. And I also can't wait
(49:37):
to get to Salt Lake City for that vice presidential
debate because we've got a we've got a record to share.
This president has a vision for this country and the
choice in this election has never been clearer. And we're
gonna seize the debates. We're gonna seize every opportunity to
take that choice to the American people. And I believe
with all of my heart and if all of us
(49:59):
do we need to do, we're gonna win four more
years for President Donald Trump in the White House. It's
the vice president. It was an honor to be at
Fort McHenry. I'll be on the South Lawn broadcasting tonight
as well our TV show. Always generous with your time.
Thank you sir for being with us. Thank you, Sean.
Great to be back on the program. We will talk,
so all right twenty five now till the top of
(50:21):
the hour, eight hundred and nine four one. Sean. You
want to be a part of the program Live for
you or died, don't forget live signing seven Eastern tomorrow.
If you're interested in autograph copies and who's am seeing
that that would be it's actually going to be somebody
from Premiere collectible. Cool. All right, so anyway, and you'll
be answering the audience's questions. Audiences questions. Okay for your
(50:44):
sign copy. All right, let's get right to it. It
is now today, sixty eight days until you are the
ultimate jury. Nancy Pelosi, as we predicted very early on,
the Democrats are worried about Biden debating Trump, and this
is her urging Biden not to debate Trump. I myself
(51:05):
just don't tell anybody I told you this, especially don't
tell Joe Biden. I don't think that there should be
any debates. I do not think that the President of
the United States has comported himself in a way that
anybody has any association with truth, evidence, data, and facts.
(51:27):
I wouldn't legitimize a conversation with him, nor a debate
in terms of the presidency of the United States. All right,
here with reaction all that, we call him the architect,
former deputy Chief of Staff, senior advisor or President Bush
forty three, author of the book The Triumph of William McKinley, and,
(51:50):
by the way, author of Courage and Consequences. Fox News
contributor Karl Rove sir, how are you good afternoon? How
are you reporting for duty? But we can't see whiteboards
on radio, but uh, let's get let's get some board. Incidentally,
I have a whiteboard, but I had to buy it
myself at the CBS because you keep saying you're gonna
(52:10):
be sending them to me, and they never show up.
I can't believe somebody keeps stealing it. That's why you know,
I'm very concerned about mel and voting. Nothing gets there.
It's in the mail, carl Um exactly. So this does
not surprise me. Um to me, you know the two
weeks I want to get you a comparison d n
CRNC convention and Pelosi's comments. Well, Pelosi, look this this
(52:33):
is a first of all, if I were Joe Biden,
I'd be saying this is not helpful because the American
people are going to insist upon a presidential debate. It
has been thus since nineteen seventy six, since nineteen eighty four,
there have been three debates each and every time, and uh,
you know, they're just not gonna they're they're they're not
(52:54):
gonna eat bails on this, and it's gonna be a
big market. It's gonna any concern that people have that
he's not up to the job, that he's too old,
will be absolutely confirmed if he does it. And the
other thing is, look think about that. Listen to her voice.
She hates the president, and she did test the president,
and she can't stand the president, and it comes across
(53:17):
so clearly that's not what people wanted their leaders. They
want they want the leaders of the country. Maybe they've
got disagreements, but they don't want them to just be
so filled with hatred. And you know what it's causing.
It's causing us not to move forward on necessary practical
steps that most Americans believe ought to be taken to
deal with our COVID nineteen situation. The PPP program, which
(53:40):
has been so successful at keeping people in their jobs
and keeping small businesses going, is running out of money.
And you go talked up on Capitol Hill in virtue,
everybody will agree we ought to into it. She is
so angry at the president. She's not negotiated that you know,
we've got we've got an agreement that we ought to
do something. Maybe not six hundred dollars more a week
on moment, but we need to do something a little
(54:02):
bit more. And for everybody who's out of work, and
but she won't sit out and negotiating. I talked to
a friend of mine who's part of the negotiations, a
really sensible, thoughtful member of the Senate, who told me
they walk in and you know, Pelosi would say, Pelosi
and Shuman, and Schuman's like her little pool. You know,
the purse guy. You know, he's the guy who's carrying
(54:23):
her out her purse to the meetings. So they have
these meetings and the Democrats will have said, well, we
want two hundred billion dollars for this, and the Republicans say, well,
we don't want to spend anything, you know, but we'll
give you one hundred billion dollars. And suddenly the Democrats say, no, no, no,
we want two hundred and fifty billion dollars. Clearly no
intention at all of negotiating. And that's what Nancy Pelosi's
(54:43):
anger to president has driven her to do. And it's
costing her politically, not not to mention it's costing the
American people. Well, I think it's even worse than that
number one. They're they're asking for three trillion. So there's
a difference between the bees and the triple and the
teas when get down to it, but the president just
acts by executive order. He got four hundred bucks a
(55:04):
week for those states that wanted to participate. Let's just
get your general overview. Now we've had a week of
the Democrats. To me, it was like a bad, you know,
college kid doing a podcast most of the time versus
what is you know, a very and by the way,
a lot of anger. And the whole thing was I
hate Trump, we're radical socialists that we hate Trump, and
(55:25):
versus what I thought was an incredibly diverse Republican party
dealing even mentioning that riots are happening around the country. Right, yeah, look, look, big,
big difference. I mean, the production values on the Republicans
dimension are much higher. The diversity is not only broad,
but also surprising. I mean, you know, you sit there
(55:46):
and you know you're the average American and you're looking
there saying, oh my goodness, gracious that Kim Scott. He's
really impressive. You know, Oh my gosh, Nicki Haley. I
didn't know she was Southeast Asian, you know, I mean,
think about that one night, two member lines. My father
wore a turban and my mother wore a Surrey A series,
So I know what I know what it is to
(56:08):
face discrimination. And Tim Scott, my family went from picking
cotton to Congress in one lifetime. I mean, really exceptional performance.
And look, the Republicans are more upbeat and they're more
about the principles. You'll notice there's something It's like, Look
they had the cop What a wonderful guy, a New
Mexico policeman who adopts the child, the infant of the
(56:31):
heroin addict. Now what does that have to do with politics?
It exemplifies the kind of values at the Republican Party,
and the Republicans hold up of charity and compassion. And
then the Republican Convention has been filled with moments like
that where people are talking about self reliance and about
personal responsibility and about patriotism. I mean that young man
(56:55):
from North Carolina who's in the wheelchair are ensued to
be youngest congressman standing up. Uh was really a powerful moment.
I think there's there's been so many of them. And
being a part of it and being there, you know
when we'll be in there, We'll be in the South
Lawn tonight when the President gives this speech and broadcast.
That's it Lord over the rest of us who have
(57:15):
to watch on good grief. I did have one good grief.
You know. I have to take grief from Karl Rove
every time I talk to him. So but by the way,
I remember I had one of the last interviews with
forty three, and I remember I was in the Oval
office with him. I said, well, I'm not going to
be seeing this place for a long time. I had
eight years in exile. Karl, Well, you're gonna be in
(57:40):
You're gonna be in an historic moment tonight. Well it'll
be My suspicion is the executive producer in the Republican
National Convension has arranged a surprise each night, and I
think he's going to probably have his best surprise for tonight.
Let's talk about the violence erupting around the country, never
mentioned at all and DNC convention. How do you ignore
(58:02):
you know, you know, eighty plus days of rioting in Portland,
or what's happened in what happens in Chicago every weekend?
What's happening in New York? By the way, what do
all these cities have in common? Krawlrove run by liberal Democrats,
for decades. Right. What's interesting to me about this is this,
this should not be difficult. You know, there is a
gigantic majority in this country who believe that people have
(58:25):
a right to protests, and its protests following George Floyd
were justified and that people had a right to turn
out the streets to demonstrate on behalf of justice. But
they also believe that violence is not justified under any means,
under any way, shape or form in connection with these protests.
So Biden has had the ability to save both things,
(58:48):
but he can only bring himself to say the first
and not the second. And last night it's a sign
of something that they're beginning over there to figure out
that it has been a mistake for them not to
not to hit that second note that this violence is unjustified.
You know, like Minneapolis. I found he had nine during
the entire problem in Minneapolis, he had nine words condemning
(59:09):
the violence. And we had a week as dishwater command.
Last night and it was only because it was in
the middle of the Republican Convention and he was getting
beat up on this. Now, ordinary Americans are going to
look at this and at his behavior of the last
several months. By the way, when you say ordinary, that
means we smelly Walmart shoppers. But go ahead, deplorable those
(59:32):
of us who cling to our religion and our guns.
You know, this is a problem for him, and it's
to me, it's inexplicable. Why why he let himself be
put in this position? And you know what my conclusion is.
My conclusion is is that he is surrounded by people
who tell him, Joe, you can't do that because that's
going to alienate our base. That's why you got to
go out there and say you're going to do these
(59:52):
things too. We're going to get rid of oil and gas.
And that's why you got to go out there and
say these things that you know, we're gonna get a
wealth tax, and we got four trillion dollars in taxes
you got. You got to go out there and appease
your left wing base. I'm going to be the most
liberal president in history. I mean, this guy used to
be known as a centrist Democrat, but he is weak,
and he is now surrounded by people who are pushing
(01:00:14):
him to the left, and his party is pushing you
to the left. You know, he's sitting up there trying
to make certain that Bernie loves him, and that AOC
is in his camp, and that the hard left of
the Democratic Party is happy with him. All right, quick
break more with Karl Rove on the other side. Right,
as we continue with the architect Karl Rove, I am saying,
this is the most radical, extreme socialist now embracing ticket
(01:00:36):
of any major party in history. So my question is
now that he's adopted Bolshevik Bernie's economic plans and pledging
trillions to AOC's new Green deal, and he takes somebody
even to the left of Bernie Sanders, who was once
an outlier in the Democratic Party and viewed as an annoyance.
Now he's mainstream. But I don't see any outreach. That's
(01:00:58):
that's not the way things are usually done. Call that
you go harder left when you get the nomination. Yeah, well,
I think I think a couple of things. One is,
I think they think that it's enough to say Donald
Trump is a horrible human being and Joe's a decent guy,
and that covers up they think of all the rest
of this stuff. Now that you know that, maybe that's
sort of as I put in my Wall Street Journal,
(01:01:20):
call him a week ago, that's sort of like the
you know, four corner strategy in basketball or to prevent
defense in football, and you know, they're just trying to
run out the clock thinking that that's going to be sufficient.
And if the president lays out a second term agenda,
and if the president continues to be to do what
has been done the last three three days, which is
to contrast what he has done and what he believes
(01:01:42):
and what he wants to do with what Joe Biden
wants to do, then the President's got a great chance
at this because sometimes if you try and run out
the clock, it turns out that you're simply running out
your chance to pursue a winning strategy. Let's look at
the electoral map. You have to run the table of
you're a Republican electoral college. Okay, Florida, you gotta win Ohio, Georgia,
(01:02:08):
North Carolina, Iowa, you gotta win Arizona. Then you want
to look at Nevada, New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.
You certainly have to put in play in New Hampshire
in the second congressional district of Maine, which could decide
at all, right, and the second congressional district of Nebraska,
which you which you actually buy television in Omaha, Nebraska
(01:02:31):
to cover Western Ireland. It also has the salutary effect
of covering the second district of Nebraska. Those are the Nebraska,
Maine or the two states that award their electoral college
food by congressional district. So yeah, look, I feel good
about Ohio. I think, in fact, the absence of the
Democrats playing hard for Ohio says something I feel good about.
(01:02:53):
I feel good about Georgia North Carolina. The President has
been doing frankly better there than he's been doing in Florida.
I think Florida ends up being in his column because
it's his home stadium because the state is trending slightly
more Republican, and things like the criminal justice reform and
his attitude towards Venezuela and his attitude towards Cuba and
(01:03:15):
his support for charter schools allow him to get Cuban, American, Venezuelan, American,
Puerto Rican Americans, and African Americans above the normal number
for Republicans. But look, you know this comes down to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
and Michigan. Because he had three hundred and six electoral votes.
(01:03:37):
Now we had two faithless electors, so he actually got
three h four in the electoral college, but he had
he won states representing three hundred and six. He loses Michigan,
takes him to two ninety, he loses Pennsylvania, It puts
him at two seventy. He loses Wisconsin, he's at two
sixty and no longer president. Or even if he wins Wisconsin,
if he loses main too or Nebraska, he's at two
(01:04:00):
sixty nine and Biden's at two seventy one. So you've
got it, you've got I like the fact that they're
talking about playing offense. And you'll notice the president is
going tomorrow to New Hampshire. It's his first stop after
the convention. Barely lost it Minnesota. You'll notice we had
we had the mayor of a small town, a Democrat
(01:04:20):
mayor of a small town, and the Iron Range of
northern Minnesota talking about we had a number of Minnesota's
on the stage. So that's the signal that they're thinking
about it. Not that I want to catch off. Karl
Rove the architect, thank you as always, great analysis. I
concurred completely eight hundred nine for one Seawan Tolfree telephone number,
(01:04:41):
News Round Up, Information Overload hour. Kevin McCarthy will check
in with us. He is the Republican leader in the House.
Also Harold Ham on energy and how important that is
to this election. Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com forty
percent off, Live Free or Die, and tonight from the
South Lawn where the President will be Speed Hannity nine Eastern.
(01:05:01):
Please set you a DVR every night, quick break right back,
We'll continue all right, News Round Up, Information Overload our
eight hundred and nine four one Sean. You want to
be a part of the program. It is now day four.
Tonight we'll be broadcasting Hannity from the South Lawn at
the White House where the President will give his address
at the Republican National Convention. What a difference to a
(01:05:23):
week makes by pretty much every measure. Let me go
back to Nancy Pelosi labeling Republicans or the enemy of
the state and saying, well, don't tell anybody, but I
wouldn't debate Trump if I were Biden. We take an
oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies,
foreign and domestic, and sadly, the domestic enemies to our
(01:05:47):
voting system and are honoring our constitution right at sixteen
hundred Pennsylvania Avenue with their allies in the Congress of
the United States. They're doing everything they can suppress the
vote with your actions, scare people, intimidate by saying law
enforce movie there, diminish the role of the postal system
(01:06:10):
in all of this. It's really actually shameful enemies of
the state. I myself just don't tell anybody I told
you this, especially don't tell Joe Biden. I don't think
that there should be any debates. I wouldn't legitimize a
conversation with him, nor a debate in terms of the
(01:06:32):
presidency of the United States. Anyway. That was Nancy Pelosi
joining us now Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, congressman, thanks for
being with us. Your reaction her two remarks. It reminds
me when Clinton called us deplorable, and now she says
we're domestic enemies. And it's not just the president she's
(01:06:52):
calling this, she's calling the members of Congress. She's calling
it you, she's calling it your viewers, your listeners, because
that's what she thinks of us. And for her to
say not to have a debate. It just tells me
that she does not want to really reveal the dangerous
and disastrous ideas of Biden. They're fearful of Biden going anywhere.
How do you run for the leader of the free
world and never leave Delaware? How is that possible? How
(01:07:15):
do you think you're gonna win Wisconsin if you haven't
been there in more than six hundred days? And how
do you think that you just now say something's wrong
about what's happening in the streets when it's happened every
single night in Portland, Chicago, everywhere else. Well, I think
you're raising great questions. What is the real reason she
doesn't want Biden to debate Donald Trump? Now, I've been
(01:07:35):
very very clear to me. The Biden that left four
years ago, this Biden now seems weak. He seems frail,
He seems out of it. Sometimes he doesn't know what
office he's running for, He doesn't know what day of
the week it is. Okay, he got through reading the teleprompter,
the President said maybe we ought a drug test. Everybody
(01:07:55):
before the debate, and the media, of course, their heads
are spinning three sixty in projectile Vomit comes out well
that's pretty much an average day for them. But you
know you're right, three nights in a row Kenosha, Wisconsin,
and you know all this violence. Now the President, at
the request of the governor, is sending in the National
(01:08:16):
Guard and order and law and order and peace and
security will be restored. And had the governor listened to
the President from the beginning and the experts that not
in just two hundred and fifty national guards, but sin
that seven hundred and fifty, we would not be having
this problem night after night. This is what the Democrats
are most fearful of, showing what their policies actually create.
(01:08:40):
And I will tell you Joe Biden, he should want
a debate. He's been in office for forty seven years.
He should be the greatest debater of all time in
the Senate. But think about how long he's been there.
When he first went to the Senate, he served with
people born in the eighteen hundreds. That's how long this
man's been associated with Washington. And for every time he
(01:09:00):
tells me about a problem, I'm gonna look, you have
been there for about my entire lifetime. What have you
ever done to solve a problem? We've sent our correspondent
Lawrence Jones, the official correspondent of the Sean Hannity Radio
and TV show, to all of these cities, and we
ask people the same question, what has Biden done in
fifty years in the swamp and the sewer and by
(01:09:20):
the way, Biden pillows the insumer, that's one hundred and
twenty five years of swamp experience. What have they done?
What has Biden done to improve the lives of the
American people? Can you can you cite one specific thing
he's done to make your life better? Well, he seems nice,
he smiles. Uh. That's those are the answers we're getting
(01:09:41):
because there is no answer. I can give you, Kevin,
chapter and verse of what Donald Trump did in less
than four years exactly, but you could also see what
Biden did do to make the problem worse. Remember he
authored the crime bill. It was it was President Trump
that actually made a fundamental change Obama tried in putting
You watched time and again our economy could have grown them,
but their policies only harmed us. We watched Joni Earnst
(01:10:03):
last night talk about the successes from speaker after speaker.
I'll tell you the contrast between the Republican Convention of
the Democrat could not be brighter. The idea that they
go get some movie star, and what do we have
an American star? The person you see on the streets
that wants to raise a family, to have a job,
and they just found their life is better. And you
(01:10:25):
know what a lot of those were Democrats, and many
of them come from every different walk of life, from
gender to color and others. And those are the people
that President Trump highlights. Why because those are the people
he has listened to and kept his promise for. Let's
talk about how do you not mention for four straight
nights at the DNC convention nine words? Carl Rod remind
(01:10:47):
us that's it. That was although Joe Biden mentioned about
the violence and American cities that have now been ongoing
for over three months, and it's like, okay, what here,
no evil, see no evil? Say no, Well, how do
you stick your head in the sands when people are
dying and businesses are being destroyed and you just deny
the reality? I mean, actually, you know, when I get back,
(01:11:10):
you know to regular programming, which you know and obviously
covering the news, which is what we do. But you
have a scene of fake news CNN with flames of
flying everywhere, fiery but mostly peaceful protests after police shooting.
There's nothing peaceful what's been happening here? No Joe mind
should go and get out of Delaware and just listen
(01:11:31):
to families. They're scared. They're scared to walk the streets
that they walked every day before. How many reports do
you see day in and day out of somebody being
beaten to being in a coma but somehow that was
a safe protest, or you see buildings being burnt. I mean,
what's happening in Wisconsin. That's an Americana city of about
one hundred thousand people. And who's coming in and doing
(01:11:52):
that comes from Chicago. We watched her, but what was
the mayor of Chicago do? She protects her street and
thinks she has a right for her protection, but the
rest of the people, their lives don't matter. How is
every single weekend we hear a report of a young
child or somebody else being shot and killed in those cities?
And what's the common denominator? They've had Democrats government, Democrat
(01:12:15):
leadership for number of years, and that's what Joe Biden,
how can he ignore that when you watched city after city,
American after American afraid. All they want is their way
of life back again. They want security, they want safety,
and they only see the president willing to stand up
for it. The only reason why you're getting National Guard
troops down in Wisconsin because the President is pushing and pushing.
(01:12:38):
Same thing happened in the other cities. Well, I gotta
tell you something. This is now the biggest choice election
in history. I would argue that if Republicans stay united,
Republicans lay out a plan for restoring law and order.
We see unemployment. You know, they were predicting twenty five percent.
Now let's blow ten percent. And I did not expect
(01:12:59):
these jobs to come back this quickly. But there's got
the very specific issues of Okay, well, Biden had eight
years with Barak, and what do they do. They didn't
do criminal justice reform, police reform, opportunity zones. They didn't,
you know, create the jobs. It was the worst recovery
since the forties. They put thirteen million more Americans on
food stamps and eight million more in poverty, and the
(01:13:21):
worst labor participation rate since the seventies. They said nothing
about coronavirus when it actually mattered and Donald Trump was acting.
They were busy with their sham impeachment trial hoax. You're
exactly right. This is a fundamental question. Are we going
to go forward or are we going to go backward?
Do you believe in hope and cure? Are shutting the
(01:13:43):
shutting those businesses down again? I mean, look what this
president has been able to do. We just saw Abbott
now come up with a home test for five dollars,
and what President Trump do. He bought one hundred and
fifty million of them, sending to every elderly homecare, every school,
and others to protect America. President Trump's talking about a
vaccine while Joe Biden sits in Delaware and says, no,
(01:14:04):
I'm going to shut all businesses down again. When you
want about hope, which you see what's happening in the
Middle East. Everybody's talked about Middle East beast. You've seen
generation after generation talk about it. Something just happened under
President Trump that we have not seen in decades, a
country recognizing Israel after he moved the embassy to Jerusalem.
(01:14:26):
He was right then and he's right now. We watched
the biggest economy race, every single family up, and he's
watching that he could do it again. You have a
very clear choice. And that's why it's not just and
you watch this convention, it's not just Republicans staying together.
This president talks about America, the other thing that Joe
Biden never talked about. And maybe it's because a hunter China.
(01:14:46):
America is not going to be able to rise even
higher unless they're able to confront China. China does want
to play in this election. They do want Joe Biden
to win, and I guess that's why he wouldn't mention it.
But we can never be tied this supply chain again.
And that's because President Trump has been working on it.
He even warned us when he was just citizen Trump.
You know, I'm looking at all of these potential new
(01:15:09):
congressmen and women. I mean, we saw this speech last
night from this gentleman that's running in North Carolina. Who
would be elected. I guess the youngest, Yeah, I mean ever,
Matt Yeah. And then you got I don't know if
you watched the viral video of Kimberly Classick. I mean,
she she was amazing. And that's just the short list
I mean, I can keep going. You got Burgess Owens out,
(01:15:30):
and you tak the fourth congressional district out there that
he can win. Nancy Mays, who's in South Carolina, she
can win. We have more women running as Republican than
in any time in the history of the Republican Party.
And that's with President Trump on top. We have more
who have won the primary. We have more minorities, we
have more veterans. That's because he's opening this party up
(01:15:53):
to be bigger. And that's what you're seeing at this
convention that you all have an opportunity. You know, I've
always been a big ever a Newts vision of nationalizing elections.
We got an election in sixty eight days. It will
determine if Donald Trump gets the four more years that
I think he deserves, and whether or not Nancy Pelosi
remained Speaker, and whether or not Chucky Schumer ever became
(01:16:17):
the Senate Majority leader. God forbid. But you know, to me,
it's what my book says, live free or die because
their stated policies scare the hell out of me. You
are a hundred percent correct, and that's why your book
is a bestseller, because that's really the question we have
before is not republican or democrat, but as socialism versus freedom,
we're going to live free or we're gonna die. Because
(01:16:38):
even Barack Obama says there's no difference between Joe Biden
and Bernie Sanders and Bernie as a socialist. So you
need a real contrast. And if you ask is what
we're gonna do, I'm going to tell you in the
speech tonight. We're going to renew the American dream. When
I talk about the American dream, I think about focusing
on the individual. I'm talking about the school choice, the
opportunity they're not sitting back, the training, broadband, the freedoms Individually.
(01:17:02):
We're going to restore our way of life because for
too long with this COVID, you're wondering what's happening. So
we're going to defeat COVID once and for all with
a vaccine, with therapeutics and others. We're going to reopen schools,
so you go back to your schools. The businesses are
going to reopen again, ensuring that you have safe communities
that you're not worried about walking down the street. You're
not worried in that small business. Is it going to
(01:17:22):
be burned down when you're not. And then we're going
to rebuild the greatest economy ever. Why are we ever
going to do it? Because we've done it before and
we're going to do it again. And as we do it,
think about what we've made investment in opportunity zones. So
the idea that no one's going to get left behind.
You're going to see parts of this community, just as
you watched Kim running for Congress in Maryland where she
(01:17:43):
walks through and this has been her entire life in Baltimore,
that this is what they have borne into and they
can't get out of. We're going to transform that than
ever before. And the difference is you have a choice
if you want to go to the Dems. I've watched
their four days of their convention. What do they support.
They want to defund there four days of hate fat
there was a hate fast, but we have one minute left,
(01:18:05):
go ahead. They want to defund the police in the border.
They want to dismantle our society what's happening in Wisconsin today,
And they want to destroy our small businesses. They want
to raise your taxes. They hate the President, and they
want to defund the police. That's their agenda, all right.
Kevin McCarthy is speaking tonight. And by the way, people
want to get in touch with you. How do they
do it? Take the House dot com, join the team.
(01:18:26):
If you want to retire Nancy Pelosi once and fall
and at the end, you'll live free. Are at the end.
We don't want the answer of dying. We're going to
live free and rebuild this nation freedom verses and capitalism
versus the failures guaranteed failures of socialism. We'll be watching tonight,
Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican Leader, eight hundred and nine
four one sean. You want to be a part of

(01:19:57):
It's um. I've really come to like these Virtue World
town halls and the connection we have with people. It'll
be at Hannity dot com seven Eastern tomorrow night. You know,
one of the things I'm most concerned about is the
policy involving energy. Remember the Green New Deal where we're
off of fossil fuels even part of the Bolshevik Bernie
and Biden, the ever forgetful Ones manifesto, you know anywhere
(01:20:22):
between ten and fifteen years. Well, just so happens that
oil and gas and coal are the lifeblood of the
world's economy. How did its lender work out? Side note?
And for those of you that live in Pennsylvania and
Ohio and Wisconsin and Oklahoma and Texas, I hope you're
(01:20:43):
paying close attention. I want to play Kamala Harris saying
that she would ban fracking on public lands by the way.
That means by by Pennsylvania fracking and all the millions
of high paying career jobs that go with it. Joe
Biden saying no new oil drilling or fracking on federal lands. Um,
(01:21:04):
I'm opposed to the Green New Deal, he said. My
plan goes beyond it. Wow, And we have to shut
down all the coal burning plants. This is what they're saying.
This alane is an economic disaster on top of the
ninety four trillion that the New Green Deal will cost. Listen,
I've argued against any more oil drilling or gastroling on
(01:21:27):
federal lands that we can, and to stop that, I
think we should in fact be looking at what exists
now and making a judgment whether or not those in
fact that are there, those wells that are there, whether
or not they're dangerous, or whether or not they've already
done the damage, and what we can do from there
(01:21:47):
by trying to change the attitude of the members of
the governors of the various state and the state legislatures. Now,
we could pass national legislation, but I don't think we'd
get it done in terms of getting the votes to
get it done. To say, all fracking is going on
now ends unless you can show there's some physical security
(01:22:09):
need or worried about explosions, etc. Which is a legitimate
thing to worry about, but I would not allow anymore. Also,
I just want to point out fairness to you. To
the governor of Pennsylvania, he's stopped short. He's moved to
regulate and limits and fracking. It stopped short of calling
for a statewide band. So just be clear, you would
not call for a band statewide on fracking or nationwide.
(01:22:31):
You said stop new oil and gas drilling on federal lands. Yes,
you're not saying that you support everything in the original
Green New Deal. Do you think it goes too far?
As it unrealistic? Promising two months it's not. But here,
here's what it is. It doesn't have a lot of specifics,
and so the idea. I think the Green New Deal
(01:22:52):
deserves an enormous amount of credit for bringing this to
a head in a way that it hasn't been before.
It hasn't been But the reason I don't know. I'm
not opposed to the Green New Deal what I did
when I thought beyond, at least in more detail, what
the Green New Deal is calling for, how to do
the things we need to do when they have to
(01:23:14):
be done, how quickly we should move, how much we
should invest, et cetera. Will there be a point or
would you like there to be a pointed? If so,
when that everybody drives an electric car or has to
drive an electric car, well, I think, look, that's going
to be based upon whether or not we can make
it economically feasible. And it is economically feasible, because guess what,
everybody knows where the world's going. You're not just like
(01:23:37):
you know, we we we we should set out the
rules for what kind of plant, you know, coal burning plants.
No one's going to build another coal burning We've got
to shut the ones down we have, But no one
is going to build a new one. Guess what, They're
not efficient relative to what else is available to be done.
That's why people are going to move and that's why
(01:23:58):
it's going to create so many new jobs for us.
There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking. So yeah,
and starting and starting with what we can do on
day one around public lands, right, and then there has
to be legislation. But yes, and this is something I've
taken on in California. I have a history of working
on this issue. And to your point, and you know
(01:24:21):
that we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact
of fracking is enormous in terms of the impact on
the health and safety of communities. Yeah, so thank you.
Well pretty much spells it out anyway. Here with reaction
is Harold Ham is the executive chairman of Continental Resources.
It's been involved in the energy industry forever and Harold Ham,
(01:24:43):
I don't know. I mean if somebody, sometimes, someplace somewhere
comes up with a cheaper alternative to to easily available energy.
Many years ago, I always would go to this invention
convention and there was this guy in Louisiana, since passed away,
it was an eye idea I found fascinating. I don't
know if that would ever be possible, but the theory
(01:25:05):
that he had and put forward was that energy actually
existed in gravity and if we could ever tap into
that energy would be an endless source of energy for
the entire world, which would be transformative. But as of today,
no such discovery has been made. And I do believe
in science. Your reaction to what Kamala and Joe Biden
are proposing here, well, they're they're asking for a miracle.
(01:25:30):
Absolutely that's not going to happen. And you know what
we've got from the American energy of renaissances had just
been nothing short of tremendous. You mentioned the economy, but
it's a lot more than that. You know, we're not
beholding that these rogue nations anymore Aboutely our president can
(01:25:51):
have a spine when dealing with my band and Rack
and Saudi Arabia, Frank and so if it's given us
a h this energy independence has just been tremendous, tremendous
what has done for the United States, and and we'll
continue to give us not only a great economy as
(01:26:15):
you mentioned, and that's tremendous all the jobs and everything there,
but also our ability to deal, uh, you know, with
everybody around the world. So you can't have foreign policy,
you can't have anything without it. So I was just thinking,
the last time I saw you was at the Wilson
(01:26:36):
Basi and Chromium conference. There's been a tremendous amount of
good things happened in the last four years since you
and I last saw each other. So it's it's a
it's it's tremendous, uh, you know, as to what what
what has occurred with energy. Everybody talks about practical but
really the transformative thing that occurred with technology was our
(01:27:00):
bill to pass all at the tie Red Board with
Hordonald thrilling and so horizonal drilling and shell and all.
We made so much progress on it, right. I mean, now,
I know that you didn't like the dramatic reduction in
the price of oil. I hear what you're saying, but
you know, cheaper energy is good for consumers. But I
(01:27:23):
do also believe that foreign markets are corrupt and they
try and drive American companies out of business, and they're
willing to take huge financial losses in the short term
to do it. Yeah, they started that in March, and
you know, Za Saudis and Russians. Actually we're in a
war with each other, in economic war. That began this
(01:27:45):
n turn downturn of all process. Of course, COVID nineteen,
you know, took away or demand and brought christ down.
But we're saying recovery. We're seeing recovery of demand that
airlines back to flying and people driving move and a
mirca goes back to work. So prices are coming back
(01:28:08):
and that's good. But you know, it's easy to criticize things.
It's like a criticizing and farmer when your mouth is full.
It's easy to criticize all and gas when your tank
is full and you go down and fill up a
lesson two dollars gallon. So anyway, it's it's been a
great thing. You'll buy, it's been a great thing for
(01:28:29):
consumers and will continue in the future. And we can't
do we can't do without and we can't do without
a long gas. California is finding that out right now
with always rolling blackouts. You know, you need you need
clean burning natural gas, and you know, let's talk about
how clean that is. We've had a roll back of
(01:28:53):
the missions and since nineteen seventy seventy seventy percent, we
have the cleanest air in the world in America that
we enjoy today well and obviously the lifeblood of the
world's economy. For the first time in seventy five years.
Not only are we energy independent, but we are the
largest producer of energy in the world that is on
(01:29:16):
the ballot, Harold Ham in sixty eight days. That alone
scares the living hell out of me. Yeah, well it
does all of us. You know what we're fighting for.
You know this, we're fining pro freedom, the five pro
freedom never ends. And here again that's why we're fighting
for a way of life. And you're right at it
(01:29:39):
scares the hellhollow us. So it's all about everything that
we stand for, our military, veterans, everything. It's the first
five hundred days I countada twenty five major things that
this play has been to done. You know, keeping his promises,
(01:30:01):
He made the promises, who kept them? So it's commodus
Cobsco going on as to the accomplishments of this uh
of this president. So John, if we have to u
film not only vote for the for the man, but
we're voting for all the things that we stand for. Well,
(01:30:26):
Harold Ham, we appreciate you being with us, and we'll

(01:31:09):
Donald Trump's Right to Try initiative struck home and I
felt need to call one of my best friends. His

called me afterwards before and afterwards he called me. He
thought it was supposed to be a photo up and
it was far beyond that. He spent a long time
with my best friend, and he promised my best friend
that he would fix the problem. Back then there was

(01:31:55):
me up thinking about that he's looking down happy. You know,
I gotta tell you something, Well, why not the right
to try? Everything else you tried and failed. It's your life,
you know what you hear experimental this or that? You
you why not? Well, what have you got to lose
