We're watching modern day lynching on social media, on television, and it is affecting the psyche of black people. That's what you saw last night. This is what when you don't get your justice. Uh, we don't get a redress for our our grief and we don't get justice. This is what you see. And you're gonna see more of that. We're not telling our brothers and sisters to stop. We're not gonna get out there and tell y'all, brother, you shouldn't do that. You shouldn't do this when we ain't getting no justice. Well, they say, the riots continue. Civil rights activist Charlotte North Carolina telling reporters this morning that African Americans were justified in the rioting after a black police officer killed the black suspect. Now, they were saying, last night, we're told last night, how often have we been given misinformation in cases? Remember the first thing you heard about Michael Brown, and they shot him in the in the back. They shot and he had his hands up, don't shoot. That entire narrative turned out to be true. He had a book in this case the North. No, he didn't have a book. He had a gun. And then you have saw the mayhem. Twelve cops injured last night, a Walmart looted. Uh we out like the Taliband motorists hit by rocks and and trouble comes to Charlotte. Yeah, one Charlotte activist. This was in the New York Times, B J. Murphy telling reporters, we're watching a modern day lynching on social media. You just heard this on television. It's affecting the psyche of of black people. And he added that everybody in Charlotte should be unnoticed. The black people today. We're tired of this bull We're tired of being killed and nobody's saying nothing. And we're tired of our political leaders going along to get along. They're so weak they don't have no sympathy. I'm reading this verbatim for our grief, and we want justice, and I'm not telling our brothers and sisters to stop. We're gonna get out there and tell you all, oh, brother, you shouldn't do that. You shouldn't do this when we ain't getting no justice. That's a direct verbatim quote here. Now, Um, I'm gonna tie something together. We have a town hall tonight with Donald Trump and a predominantly black church in Cleveland, and we have to examine everything that has happened. You know. One of the things that we're gonna do. I'm gonna start tonight at the beginning of the program, and I am going to where at Reverend Scott's church. He's the CEO of the National Diversity Coalition. But Donald Rump and members of his congregation, other supporters in the area. We're in Cleveland, and Obama started out eight years ago hope and change, shove already jobs. Whoops, not so shove already. You have to ask yourself as we see this. President rushed to judgment in the Cambridge police case, rushed to judgment in the Trayvon Martin case. I know people don't like the George Zimmerman verdict, but there was an eyewitness in the case that said and spotted and identified Trayvon Martin on top of George Zimmerman. Zimmerman screaming for his life, pounding and grounding and pounding his head into the cement and his life clearly in jeopardy. And we all heard the scream. And then when the next case comes, it's Fergusson, Missouri, and there's Michael Brown. The first thing we're told ends up like in this case not to be true. And we're told that Michael Brown is he had his hands up and said don't shoot, ends up, don't shooting and got shot in the back. He wasn't shot in the back. Number one, He didn't have his hands up. Number two. We know because of the multiple African American eye witnesses in that case that testified that Michael Brown the same guy we saw on tape robbing a store, intimidating a clerk. Well, then when the cop asked him to move over, he fit the description of the person involved in the strong arm arm strong armed robbery that took place moments earlier that he was a part of. Well, that Michael Brown fought Officer Darren Wilson for his gun. That's where the first shot went off inside of the officer's car as Michael Brown was fighting for it. Anyway, Michael Brown takes off and then ends up charging back at the police officer, Darren Wilson, who had to fire to protect himself. And look what happened there. Then we heard the story of Freddy Gray. Freddy Gray, Okay, eight thirty in the morning, cops on a bicycle and he's running known drug dealer to police officers? Why is he running at a thirty in the morning from a cop? And then the charges were that the cops had abused him. Every one of those cops exonerated in that case. Doesn't stop this president. Four time loser. Wrong on the Cambridge police, Wrong in Trayvon Martin. He could look like me thirty five years ago, or Trayvon could look like my son. Wrong in Ferguson, Wrong in Baltimore. And now we have people, we have a couple of cases now evolving and emerging here and having to do with police officers. Are gonna get to the Oklahoma case in a few minutes. But what you have We've got to ask ourselves a question here now. I mean, when you've got Black Lives Matter pigs in a blanket frame like Bacon. You heard it again last night, what do we want dead cops? When do we want him now. Their enthusiastic support, embraced the Black Lives Matter movement, embraced by our president, embraced by Hillary Clinton, embraced by other high profile Democrat. A black police officer can no longer defend himself when confronted by an armed black suspect who refuses to drop his weapon, because if he does, the next thing, you know, you're gonna have riots breaking out all over the city. Charlotte Observer pointed out that there Charlotte officials are now preparing for more protests today and tonight following the violence. Sixteen police officers in total injured overnight series of clashes. Reports early Wednesday, motorists on I five hurt when their vehicles were damaged when protests with protesters were throwing rocks and bottles. Officers hurt, mostly minor injuries, although the one was hit in the face that was caught on video. You have the Charlotte Police Chief saying the department is still viewing video from the scene, though the officer involved in the shooting himself was not wearing a camera, and he said the officer fired the shots and in playing clothes wearing a vest, was accompanied by a uniform uniformed officer when they approached the victim. Now, the first reports where apparently didn't have a gun. He did have a gun. And you know whether or not it was being appointed at the officer. You know, we gotta give it time. You know, police officers that fight for your liberty and your freedom and your assumption of innocence, well they should have the right to the same thing. And by the way, unless I missed it, we have yet to hear a peep out of either Clinton and Obama condemning this irrational anti cop violence. Now, have cops act in a wrong way, like remember the the guy that was shot in the back, I'll be the first to condemn them. But cops do deserve, like the rest of us, the presumption of innocence. Here's a question that I want to ask you, though, and I think it's fitting for the show that we're doing tonight with Donald Trump for the hour on the problems in the black community in America. We have, as I tell you, every day, the lowest labor participation rate since the seventies, million Americans out of the labor course. America has had the worst recoveries in the forties, the country has the lowest home ownership rate in fifty one years. We have thirteen million more Americans on food stamps, nearly fifty million Americans, forty three million Americans in poverty, eight million more than since Obama has been president. Median household income is now lower than it was in two thousand and seven. One in five households not a single family member working. One in six American men eighteen to thirty four prime working years, or either in jail or out of work, living a mommy's basement. Obama will leave office having accumulated more death than every other president before him combined. All of the president's failed policies when you look at things, have also disproportionately impacted the black community. Let's look at the numbers since Obama has been president. Fifty percent increase in the number of Black Americans on food stamps, increase in the number of Black Americans who no longer in the labor force. African American home ownership rate is down. It's more than twenty percent lower than the national average. African American unemployment rate eight point one percent. National average is four point nine wage gap between Black Americans and white workers is the worst than nearly forty years. Median household income for African Americans is twenty thousand dollars less than the national average. African American poverty rate is twenty four point one percent, over ten percent higher than the national average. I want to talk about a surge and crime and inner city. Let's look at the president's hometown of Chicago. Do you realize this year alone, over thirty one people have been shot. Just this year since Obama has been president and in office, three thousand, six hundred and sixty people have been murdered, and according to the Chicago Tribune, historical status show that seventy of those victims are African American. Add to that an educational system that is especially bad in inner city America. Why because this is unholy alliance between liberal Democrats like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, the n e A, and the mysterious reluctance and resistance to fix schools and allow parents the choice to send their kids to better schools. Look at the high school graduation rates nine percent lower for African American students in the national average. We're failing these children. The high school dropout rate for African American students also higher. Than the national average. The results, by the way, should be much better, bigger and better, given that the US is ranked fourth in the world on pupil spending. We spend eleven thousand, six hundred dollars per student in this country. And despite that high spending, America's seventeenth in reading, nineteenth in science, and twenty six in math. And I'm not even talking about foreign policy disasters. So the question is, as you watch all of this in Charlotte, as we're going to address speci ciphically problems in the black community tonight with Donald Trump for an hour, Um, is there a correlation? You know Charlotte activist saying, Oh, it's going to continue, really going to continue. Is this good for the community? Is it good for anybody? And I'll also tell you about the Tulsa, Oklahoma shooting as well. I got so much to get to today on the program. We've got Anthony Weiners caught according to the UK Daily Mail sexting and underage girl Nate Silver, who had Donald Trump's chances of winning the presidency of three percent now has him met, and so much more that we're gonna get to. We also have the Clinton Foundation gave African AIDS patients watered down drugs. I guess they were pocketing the money for the Clinton Foundation. The Daily News and New York reports today, almost of the press reports were suggesting that the terrorist bomber Ahmad Rahami was a lone wolf who planned the planted thirty assorted bombs in four different locations. Well, we spotlight a day report from Sunday night on Picks eleven in New York. It's a news station that mentioned surveillance video showing two men who seemed to be acting as Rahami's accomplices. Well, today the New York Daily News reports that cops and federal agents want the public's help in finding these two men. Why didn't they say that from the very beginning anyway, It's apparently they they come across a pressure cooker, the one that they found that didn't blow in luggage and chelsea they believed to have been left by the bomber Rahami. They said the two men dressed in casual clothes. They were captured on video Saturday between eight and nine pm on West twenty seven Street between six and seventh Avenue. They came across the airline tope bag on the sidewalk. They removed the pressure cooker containing explosives and they walked away with the luggage. They left the The The ice behind the bomb on West twenty seven Street was shock, a shock sensitive device. The MYPD chief Counter Terrorism uh Officer James Waters said, these two men were very lucky. The FBI is asking for the public's assistance now in locating these two individuals. So it seems that it wasn't just a lone wolf in this particular case. Anyway. That's one of the stories, an update on that particular thing. But now we have some other news here today that I think is pretty important. Nate Silver. Nate Silver said on Twitter that I don't believe in poles. No, I actually do believe in polls. And I said that from the very beginning, and I follow polls, and I think you take the aggregate number of the real clear politics average, you throw out the highest number the lowest number, and you're probably somewhere in the middle. Well, Donald Trump is beginning to take a lead in North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, up by two in Colorado in the last pole I saw by two in Nevada. He's winning by eight in Iowa. I mean these are all very very important states three point race and wisconsint three point races behind in Michigan, Pennsylvanias seems to be in play. We don't know what the actual numbers are right now, but we'll see anyway. The media expert so loved by liberals who predicted not so long ago that Donald Trump's chances of defeating Hillary Clinton were virtually non existing at three percent, he's now pretty much saying it's a fifty fifty race. He gives Trump forty eight percent chance of winning, and his latest vote projection, um, so you know, by the way, only six electoral votes short of winning and one point away from equaling Hillary Clinton's popular vote. This is the newest survey, Trump at sixty four, Clinton at two seventy two to more than needed to seventies the magic number. It's the closest it's been now in recent weeks. And what's more, he has the popular vote within the margin of victory forty five point four to forty four point three, and just a month ago Silver had Trump's chances at only three. I'm not sure what to make of This was in the UK Daily Mail today that Anthony Weener carried on a month's long online sexual relationship with a fifteen year old girl, during which she claims he asked her to undress or to dress up in in schoolgirl outfits for him on a video messaging application, pressed her to engage in rape fantasies, and the girl, whose name is withheld by the paper because she's a miner, said the online relationship again last January, while she was a high school sophomore, and before Weener's wife, hinting Hillary Clinton's aide, Uma Aberdeen, announced that she was ending their marriage. Weiner was aware the girl was underage. According to the Daily mail dot Com interviews with the girl and her mother and father, as well as a lot of online messages that they were able to view. Weiner and Aberdeen still live in the same apartment despite their split. Weener did not deny exchanging flirtatious messages with the team. You know, I here's a question I can guarantee that Lester Holt won't be asking it Monday Night's debate Senator Clinton. Why is it your most trusted aid still part of your inner circle? Five years? Forget it? I'm not going there. Um the Chelsea uh oh, this is a big development in the Chelsea bomber case. The New York bombing suspects said that he had received instructions from quote terrorist leaders to attack nonbelievers where they live, as he was charged yesterday last night with the use of weapons of mass destruction. A mod Khan Ramani Rahami's journal revealed that he accused the US of slaughtering Islamic fighters in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Palestinian territories. The document and quote, the sounds of the bombs will be heard in the streets, gunshots to your police, death to your oppression. And his wife left the United States shortly before Saturday's attacks and was stopped in the United Arab Emirates. According to US media, she's cooperating or cooperating with investigators. She has not been accused of wrongdoing at this point. All right, let's get to our busy telephones. As we say, I can't read this thing? Is that A J B J C j r J from Modesto, California. What's going on? You're on the Sean Hannity Show. Hey, Sean, longtime listener. I'm a political guru and I just want to help drive home a point because of everything I've been seeing on television, listening to on the radio. The mainstream media is is offended and attacking uh Mr Tromps for addressing the African American issues and talking about how how poor conditions are or there can entity how came it's okay for Obama and any other Democrat Al Sharpton, Mr Jackson, you name it. They can talk about how bad things are for the African American community that Donald Trump cannot. And the media has not been challenged on that yet, mainstream media. And I'm waiting to see it happen. Here's a question that I think needs to be asked, Are you better off? This was the Reagan question, are you better off than you were eight years ago? I'm not going to repeat the statistics I just gave out in the last hour. And you know, I know that the media is obsessed with demographic breakdowns. If all right, if they want their demographic breakdowns, The people that are suffering the most and that have been disproportionately negatively impacted by Obama's failed policies are Black Americans African Americans, and Obama has not helped the black community. Democrats. Every four years, the Democrats come calling every four years they want the black communities vote. Every four years, they try and gin up that Republicans are racist. You know they have the clan adds that Hillary is running against Donald Trump, and it's it's it's it's despicable, it's sickening, it's it's predictable, it's everything evil in politics. That's all right on the money, But the media has never challenged on why are you guys attacking Trump for bringing up the exact same argument that all the Democrats bring up for the African American community. Oh but but the Democrats haven't done anything for the black community. They do nothing. But I'm just talking about the message, the messaging. How come it's okay for the Democrats just say, yeah, things are deplorable for blacks in America. But as soon as Trump says things are deplorable, it's a big time problem. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Don Lemon last night was going on on his high horse, and it's just don't worry nobody who was watching? Trust me? Yeah, I like three people were not turned And why would you be watching that when I'm on At the same time, you should be ashamed of yourself. A TVO I always record you, so well, how about you TiVo him and you watch me live. How's that? I played this game in my house to where because they attack Trump big time, and I give it about fifteen seconds and then I'm out of there because it's so freaking predictable, it's ridiculous. Well, then, you know, once it becomes that predictable, come over to our show and you know, at least we're giving you. You know, this is the thing. The media hates me, media despises me. The difference between me and all these sanctimonious, self righteous phony media people. Oh, Sean Hannity supports Donald Trump. Yeah, I'm honest, they support Hillary. You know, I give an example. I was watching uh, a show on CNN, this little Pip Squeak Coast, unreliable liberal media matters sources and uh and who do they have about that? Carl Bernstein Woodward and Bernstein of of that fame On hates Trump even questioned his mental stability in the course of the the interview. Then they go to a panel and the panel has three people, all anti Trump, and then they asked the question, Oh, I'm wondering why don't people trust me? And believe in me because you're so abusively biased. The difference between me and them is this, I'm honest. I have never hid the fact that I am a conservative, and I'm never and I'm well, I'm yeah, yeah, I mean really, it's like, oh, Sean Hannity supports the more conservative candidate as I promised I do in sixteen. Okay, guilty is charged, I'm guilty has charged. I think it's hilarious. Take on. Let me tell you by the signs of it. I mean, you've got Media Matters I've read today apparently has filed some FEC complain against me. Well, in case they don't know, I have freedom of speech rights too. But ultimately what they want is this is an act of intimidation which I will never give into to try and silence and scare and intimidate. I don't scare, I don't get intimidated. I get resolved, and maybe I'll just have to file my own FEC complain against them, because there's nobody more guilty or possibly in my opinion, I like to know where Media Matters gets all their money from. Why don't we start revealing that? Why don't we start there? As they are the an extension of the Clinton campaign in every way, shape or form. Anyway, I gotta move on. Thank you Chris in Atlanta. Chris, you're on the Sean Hannity Show, High Chuck, can you hear them? How you doing? I'm good, sir, How are you? I am doing some fantastic I'm gonna be honest with the shot. I rarely listen to your show. I happened to get through. I'm out of Atlanta. I heard your ask called, why don't you listen to me? What don't you like about me? Well? I just don't. I'm a I'm a I'm a person that uh doesn't really listen to a lot of talk shows. I don't like the CNNs, I don't like the Fox News. I think that a lot of this propaganda, I think it takes away from the people learning and and and knowing how to critically think for themselves. But well, let me ask you a question I just gave. Did you hear my last half hour when I gave out a series of statistics about about how worse off we are economically in this country as a result since Obama has been president? Did you hear me say all that? I did hear that informative. Well, that was informative. That was informative. You are, I was telling your co host, you are a very intelligent guy. I just don't listen to a lot of talk shows. But I won't be voting for Donald Trump or Hillers Clinton. Uh why because I've got common sense and I think that common sense is not too common nowadays. But one of the reasons why I called in is that I think that a lot of for a lot of new show hosts, a lot of radio show hosts, they perpetuate, uh something that when you talk about police brutality, they perpetuate something that it is not about. Now, I speak to you, Sean as a person who's who's whose grandfather? My mother's father, Keeby Williamson. He was one of the financiers of the civil rights movement. You can read about him in Building Atlanta at the book. But you you remember I was down on local host in Atlanta, You know that, right, You know? I knew I knew Maynard Jackson, I knew Andy Young, and I knew Joseph Flowery, I know jose Williams. I knew all these guys, even Bill Campbell before he went to jail. Absolutely, I knew John Lewis. John Lewis knows who I am. Cynthiy McKinney knew who I was period. Absolutely. I became a lifetime member of the n double A c P. When I was down in Atlanta. I have my card. Were you're a good manor sean? You're a good man? Well, let me ask you this. Let let me see if I can get you to help me out here. Okay, go ahead. Are Black Americans better off since Obama has been president? Are Black Americans better off since Obama has been president? I don't want to give you a yes or no answer. Let me go through the numbers with you, one by one. Since Obama has been president, has been a fifty eight percent increase in the number of Black Americans African Americans on food stamps. Is that good for Black America? I would say, obviously not. We have a jump in the number of African Americans who are not in the labor force. Is that good for Black America? Obvious say obviously not. The Black American homeownership rate is down. It's more than twenty percent lower than the national average. Is that good? I would say, obviously not. African American unemployment is eight point one percent the national averages four point nine. Is that good? Obviously? Obviously not so. But the wage gap between African American and white workers is the worst in forty years. Is that good? Based on what you're saying, I will say obviously not. Median household income for African Americans is twenty thousand dollars less than the national average. Is that good based on what you're saying, Obviously it's not. African American poverty rate is twenty four point one percent. That's over ten percent higher than the national average. Obviously that's not good. We have a surge in inner city crime in Chicago, for example, Obama's hometown people have been shot this year alone. Since Obama has been a president, three thousand, six hundred and sixty people have been murdered. Can you name one of those three thousand, six hundred and sixty people? You will let me make my point. Go ahead, Okay, My point is this, and and and none of that. None of it's like everybody perpetuates something that that it's totally not about. Now. I live in Bucket, Atlant Okay, exclusive Aiant Bucket, Atlanta. I am African American okay, But we don't have quote unquote a race problem in America. We never have, Okay. The problem is this, we have economic disparities that have consistently existed where a high percentage of those people that are effected are poor whites, Hispanics in African And the only thing I'm saying is this, Obama promised hope and I'm running out of time. Obama promised hope and change and things haven't gotten better. And he got of the black vote. And I'm saying that Donald Trump is reaching out to the black community and based on those statistics, you can't do much worse as he's been saying. That's my only pitch to you. But you vote anyway you want, anyway. I do appreciate your call. Secretary Clinton came out today and she said, the cause is clear. It's Donald Trump. I think about this. We have been a war with radicalous lam Us since the Ayatola Homaney took over. I ran in nineteen seventy nine, seized the American embassy and held our hostages. We had we had bombings of the nineteen eighties, we had bombings in nineteen nineties. We've been involved in a long war for fifteen years, but Hillary Clinton has figured it out. Donald Trump, apparently magically in nineteen seventy nine, without realizing it, launched the terrorist war. I mean nineteen Seveney wasn't even in business in Manhattan yet, but he was so precocious as a young man, so filled with talent that apparently all of this is due to him. Now, do you know how deranged do you have to be to say this with a straight face? Alright, our to Shawn Hannity's show that was New King Ridge eight nine for one, Shawn, you want to be a part of the program commenting Hillary Clinton is saying that Donald Trump aiding in the betting recruitment for ISIS and other nonsense that you keep hearing and join us now is the former Speaker of the House for forty eight days till election day. How are you, sir? I'm doing great and I'm probably gonna drive a little bit that I'm doing. It's on Facebook Live. It's four thirty on what we need to do for American terrorists. Yeah great, Tell my audience to go to your Facebook Live and turn on my show is all about They know it's story. They can't go to it. After the show. Of course they should finish your show. And then in the period between this show and your TV tonight when you have Donald Trump, Uh, they stay have a brief period they're they're allowed to listen to my my Facebook Live in between your radio show and your TV show. You one day, we were at the convention, the Republican Convention, because you wouldn't you wouldn't brave the Democratic Convention, and you made me go all by myself. Thanks a lot. And I was there and you and all of a sudden, you say, oh, we're on Facebook Live. And I'm like saying, that's a bunch of you know whatever I'm saying. I'm like, oh my gosh, how many people watch that when you do that? Um? Well, the last one was really wild because the last one what they did, Christine Cristina Aruna, who does all of our stuff, uh, took my the speech you just had. I was down, uh thing with us. Now I went from being Speaker of the House create helping create a majority for the first time in forty years, and I'm now the warm up act for Donald frump me. It's a little bit like touring, you know, with with the Beatles or something, but so I went out, we got such we have seven hundred thousand people now on Facebook. Uh and Uh, I went out and explained exactly what you picked up on. We automately ended up with something like seventy thousand people watched it in six it and it just kept you know, it just keeps growing. And one of one of them, I actually reached something like a million, four hundred thousand people. Uh. So there's this constant thing. That's why I do the Facebook life. But here's what's gonna tell you. Uh. And I don't know that I can get said say his name rights to some somebody in the liberal media will make fun of me. Um the guy who wrote the Black Swan and I think his name is in a scene teleft. But if anybody knows how to say it, that should call and tell us. Has written this piece that I want to make world famous. And what he talks about is I y I You're gonna love this. It's intellectual yet idiot. And it actually builds on Charlie Murray's remarkable book Coming Apart in the Rise of an Intellectual Class, which is totally out of touch with reality, you know, and what and what what he's saying an intellectual yet idiot as an essay he did about a week ago that I when it has the basil and the talk about is a good example is the bomb is you remember when Donald Trump used the word bomb to describe the bomb in New York because it was a bomb. There was a bomb, and all the news we do on oh my god, do you not how to say that? In fact, they CNN one so desperate as to cut out Hillary saying bomb. Total prov the quality, you know, absolute absurd level of dishonor it's like a mayor unfolding before our eyes exactly and form me today the actually inserted a word and claim Trump said something you didn't say to try to prove he was a racist. And this kind of stuff gone on. But but the point that that really fits, for example the FBI, and one of them I'm working on right now, is how many of the people who get picked up for terrorism inside the US did the FBI look at and say, there's nothing there. Well, we know this guy's father told him that he was radicalized. We you know, one of the things that's very frustrating is that we're finding this in almost every case is that right after somebody does something like this guy did in in New York and New Jersey. You know, it takes us about five minutes to find out, Oh, it's all over the internet that this guy was radicalized. And my question is why aren't we finding it out beforehand? And you know, it seems that a lot of the people that are involved in these cases, they take recent trips to Pakistan or Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia. Um. I don't know that many Americans that actually, you know, let me see, I want to go to St. Bart's, or I'll go to I'll go to Afghanistan or Iraq, let me let me think, or Syria. Um. I think there ought to be a red flag if you're going to certain countries that are known for their radicalism. But again, that's evil profiling on my part, not common sense. You're the same thing, I believe with the Boston bomber. You're the same thing with the killer in San Bernardino. Uh And say the in the say to yourself, is there a pattern? And should anybody who goes into Pakistan, which is a hotbed of terrorism be looked at extra carefully when they come back? Uh And, and this is going to require us to really rethink some of our ground rules. And my whole argument is that these people are engaged in warfare against the United States. These are not criminal acts. These are acts of war, which makes them traitors. I mean, attacking the United States if you're a con citizen, as an active treason and we need to really think through what are the laws Congresses to pass to enable us to actively identify people who are trying to destroy us. Let me ask this, um, we're doing a town hall. You saw everything that happened in Charlotte, North Carolina last night, right, yes, So I'm asking this question tonight because we're doing it at at Pastor Scott's Church, predominantly black church in America. And this is all part of a continued outreach of Donald Trump to the black community. It seems like it's paying dividends. He is going into the black community and he's saying, I want your vote, and he's saying, you can't do any worse. And as I put together the information for tonight, these are the numbers, and I think they're staggering. A fifty percent increase in the number of African Americans on food stamps, increase number of African Americans out of the labor force. African American homeownership rate is down. It's lower than the national average. African unemployment rate eight point one percent national average four point nine wage gap between African Americans and white workers is the worst than forty years. Median household income for African Americans is twenty thousand dollars less than the national average. The African American poverty rates twenty four point one percent. That's over ten percent higher than the national average. Then you look at crime statistics. For example, this year alone, in Obama's hometown of Chicago, people have been shot. This year alone, since he's been president, three thousand, six hundred and sixty people have been murdered. And I doubt anybody listening right now could name the one single person killed there, because I guess it didn't fit his narrative, like the Cambridge police and Trayvon Martin and Ferguson and Freddie Gray. And then on top of that, you have an educational system where the graduation rates from high school nine percent lower for African Americans than the national average. High school dropout rate African Americans is also higher than the national average. And you know we pay more money per student with fourth in the world, and yet seventeenth and reading nineteenth and signs and twenty six the math we and eleven thousand, six hundred dollars per student. Now, do you see a correlation between unrest, unhappiness and the fact that people are worse off to a major degree than they were eight years ago? And one final question, do you do you see the correlation? And do you believe that that maybe this is an opportunity for the black community to reconsider the Democratic Party that basically shows up every four years and then walks away and comes back the next four years. Well, I mean, I think, first of all, it depends on how dedicated Trump turns out to be to doing this over and over again and how rapidly he's willing to learn. I mean. But one of the great problems, and this may surprise you, but one of the great problems for white conservatives who really want to find a way to include the black community and find a way to work with African American leaders, is that the experience of being black in America is different, Uh, includes slavery. This is where this new museum is going to be very important. It's not just symbolic. It includes slavery, it includes segregation, uh, it includes continuous discrimination. And so when you wake up in the morning, if you're an African American, even if you're successful, you have this constant sense of not quite being an insider, not quite being totally accepted. And I think that the more he goes to churches, the more he goes uh to to visit black businesses, the more he meets with black leaders, people like Kay James, who has had been an extraordinary leader, director of the Office of Personnel for the entire federal government, Head of Welfare Reform for Governor George Allen. These are folks who can really, I think, help him reach an understanding and a tone and a language that could lead to a remarkable break in the black community. Because the morning it becomes acceptable to say we ought to consider Donald Trump, I mean today, somebody walk into the local coffee shop and say, you know, I'm really seriously looking at Donald Trump. And it's not just an act of weirdness, but it's, yeah, that's really worth thinking about. The Democratic Party's base is gonna shatter they they they have to use fear, dishonesty, smeirters lies, to try to keep above n supporting the black community because they know if they don't get those huge margins coming out of the big cities, they're dead. I mean that they will they will not be a competitive party for a generation. But are they go back to the Reagan question, are you better off than you were eight years ago? Exactly? And the Trump is very close to that. I mean, when when you're in a city lect Chicago was was somebody's shot every two hours. It's not irrationalists say what what do you have to lose? Your schools currently fail your children, there are no jobs in your neighborhood. You're in danger of being shot every single day. Your politicians all like you, uh, what did he not to lose? By take can try on somebody new who's at least reach you hadn't saying you'd like to help you. And I do think that's going to gradually catch on. I don't know what your experience was today, and I know you were right there and that that you're you're a part of this historic woman And I'm sure the show tonight is going to be amazing to watch because of the impact that this is, how historic this effort is on Trump's part. I like it, and you know what, I think it's long overdue, and I think these numbers prove, you know, it's something that I've said. Look, I remember back when Obama was running and I felt like I was out here hanging on a limb like I do every election year. But I remember going over Frank Marshall Davis and Obama's mentor, and and looking at a Lynsky height and and rules for radicals and acorn and what an organizer is and Black liberation theology which inspired him to join Reverend Writes Church for twenty years, and then Airs and dorn and and other things. And I just my prediction was is everything that he believed in was radical, rigid and ideological, but it was ideological in a way that we have proven over and over again. It doesn't work if if you if you believe that conservatism is a way of life, and I do, conservative principles have got to be applied like Reagan didn't, like you did as speaker, to solve our problems. And that seems to be missing well. And I think that's what you're seeing, in all fairness, you're seeing it with Paul Ryan, who's putting together. Stop it, Ryan, Please, I can't take it. I'm not happy with Ryan, why not? But but you look at what he's trying to articulate. It's the most thoughtful effort since we put together the contract to come up with real alternatives, real solutions. And I predict he and Trump are gonna turn out to be very productive working together. Um. At the same time, you have, I think the country coming to a very serious decision. And I have to say, Um, when I heard what Hillary said the other day, Um, it was almost exactly parallel to what she said had been does I mean the dishonesty of her reaction to New York Uh, and her effort to pin it on Trump was exactly parallel to her effort to pin Benghazi on the guy YouTube video that by the way, By the way, they were watching that in real time, and they know that mortars were used and RPGs were used, and I'm just I'm thinking, oh, they just happen to have mortars in their back pocket while they were spontaneously demonstrating. You know, you know it was it was a busy weekend for people who magically showed up because they've been so deeply offended by a movie they've never seen. Uh, I mean the whole thing. And I think this is this is why in the seame Talent talks about intellectuals yet idiots. I mean, Hillary is a perfect example of what he means by an intellectual yet idiot. Um, you can't. I've got I've got a but Um, are you coming back on the program tomorrow? We need you tomorrow night. Yes, I think it's gonna have me. I mean, I know, but I mean they told us Friday and I said, no, I want them Thursday. Uh you mean you mean t shown at the TV show. I think we're doing both. Okay, good, all right, Mr Speaker. That's why I hope and I will double check it with my leader. Um, alright, forty eight days to go, Former Speaker of the House, New King Ridge. A lot of information you have on individuals there that you would have here, But I would tell you a couple of things. First of all, they're the only the most vulnerable individuals. Eight out of ten of the more than ten thousands Serrian refugees that we've admitted to the country are women and children. And of the men that make up the remainder remainder, most of them are connected to families Number two. They are going through a very serious inter agency vetting process. The most that any refugee goes through. Is it perfect? Can it be perfect? Can it be full proof? We'll probably not no. At the same time, we do have a system for allowing not just immigration, but refugee entrance into the country. As the FBI to Rector has noted, there is a process in place that allows for significant vetting of refugees from all countries. Let me interrupt because he said something contrary with regard to the situation with Syrians. He said, we can query our database until the cows come home, but there will be nothing to show up because we have no record on that person. Certainly, with respect to the database is that the director was referring to, as he noted, I believe before this committee, there is a screening process that has data from several different agencies. The FBI participates, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, National Terrorism counter National counter Terrorism Center, and and much information is vetted and query. Certainly, a lot of the information that is vetted does have to be inputed into the system. In the case of where you can't go to the the government offices in that country there in disarray. You can't go interview people who know people who are applying for this status. Um. Do you disagree with the FBI director when he says that vetting uh Syrian refugees is extremely difficult, if not impossible. Well, Mr Hereman, I'm not sure he said it was impossible. Certainly, the the not only the Department of Justice, but all of our agencies will make every effort to vet every refugee coming into this country, from the databases to the interviews that those individuals are subject to, to the biometric screening as well. Let me go on. Certainly there are challenges to that process because of the situation in Syria. But I would note, however, that we do have the benefit of having that significant and robust screening process in place, a process that Europe has not been able to set up, which renders them much more vulnerable. Before this is committed. Assistant Director Steinbeck said that the concerns in Syria is that we don't have the systems in place on the ground to collect the information to vet. That would be the concern. Databases don't hold the information on these individuals. Is that steal the position of the Department. Yes, I think that's the challenge we're all talking about, is that we can only query against that which we have collected. And and so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interests reflecting our database, we can queer our database till the cows come home. But we're not gonna do we nothing show up because we have no record on that person. That's what sas Dictor Steinback was talking about. You can only query what what you've collected. And and with respect Iraqi refugees, we had far more inner databases because of our country's work there for a decade. This is a different situation al right. First though, was John Kirby of the State department vetting process for Syrian refugees. Well, it's not perfect, it's not bull proven. And they got Loretta and saying that the Obama administration has the ability to effectively screen refugees, going against what we just played from James Comey that the US government has no real way to conduct background checks on refugees. Now, the reason we're bringing all of this up today Life Set put it on their website with regard to Clinton's intention to increase refugees by fifty percent, that it is utterly incomprehensible that she has this as a stated goal, especially after Comey, who we just played. The FBI director said that there's no way to vet them, and John Brennan of the CIA, the director of the CIA, warned that ISIS would seek to embed terrorists in refugee flows. And by the way, Michael Steinbeck, the assistant FBI Director, and the House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mike McCall in, the former special onvoy to defeat ISIS, have all said the same thing anyway, joining us to discuss as Congressman Brian Babin of Texas Pete hes he's an infantry officer in the Army and National Guard in Iraq and Afghanistan, vet author of in the Arena, Good Citizens, A Great Republican, How one speech can reinvigorate America? Also host Fox and Friends. How do you like doing that? Pete? Not too bad? I can't complain. Try to follow your playbook, no stop it. And Amy Horowitz is with us, the absolute insane documentarian who does all sorts of nutty things like he got on a boat with a lot of the refugees to infiltrate the community, and he found that a lot of them were radicalized. This, of course being in Europe. How are you, How are you, Amy, I'm doing well. I'm actually hanging out with the refugees here Sweden. Let me play. Barack Obama at the U n yesterday saying in the fiscal year, the US will welcome and resettle a hundred and ten thousand refugees. Listen to this. We've also been working with the World Bank to create new financing facilities to assist countries hosting refugees build schools and economic opportunities. As part of these efforts, the United States will contribute at least fifty million dollars to help middle income countries and will do more to help low income countries so that refugees and their host communities can flourish and go stronger together. The refugees in places like Ecuador or Kenya don't always get as much attention as some of the recent migrations, but they need help to and that's part of our goal here. Collectively, our nations are roughly doubling the number of refugees that we admit to our countries to more than three D sixty thousand this year. Again, I want to especially commend Germany, Canada, Austria, the Netherlands and Australia for their continued leadership, as well as countries like Argentina and Portugal for their new commitments. Today, I'm proud to announce that the United States will continue our leadership role in the coming fiscal years. Starting next week, the United States will welcome and resettle one and ten thousand refugees from around the world, which is a nearly sixty increase over. We intend to do it right, and we will do it. Congressman Babin, maybe it's just me, but if Comey and Steinbeck and Clapper and and Brennan and McCall and General Allen All say isis is going to infiltrate? Why the hell are we taking these people in? That's a great question, Sean, great to be with you and join with Ammi and Pete Uh. Our president is willing to subordinate our national security to further his agenda of bringing in tens of thousands of improperly vetted and screen refugees. And what this is doing, he said, he wants to sounds like he's so compassionate for these folks. And what he forgets is we're all compassionate for people who are being displaced. And that's why we're paying a lot of money to these uh uh you and refugee camps over there. That's why we can help twelve refugees in these camps with our with our financial help for everyone that we bring a we're here is a refugee on the path to citizenship. And uh, I just it's amazing to me, Sean that this man is so wilfully blind that he would endanger the lives of our citizens, our grandchildren. And he's not going to be at risk, Congressman, and Hillary is not going to be at risk. I mean, they've got all the protection the money can buy. I mean, Hillary just has a speech and she has enough security for two years with making I've introduced this, this this letter so that we can try to get this language in my of my bill into a too, a must pass spending bill, and we're hoping to get that done. Pete. Look, you you're a former infantry officer in the army and uh an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran. You know the mindset of of this enemy and they are very well funded. Now, they're very well organized, and it seems to me to be really just common simple sense that we don't gamble with the lives of the American people and take in people that we are top intelligence officers are saying, we cannot possibly vet that we will end up. You know, Donald Trump Juor got in trouble with the skittles and analogy said all right, well there's a big box of skittles, and if you take three and they'll kill you, would you take the risk? You know? And he wasn't. The fact that people took this the wrong way is absurd to me. It's called an analogy for crying out loud, wake up. And what he was saying is we we all know that skittles are in people. I mean, we we get that. We're not stupid. But the reality is is, if let's say we take in the hundred and ten extra thousand that Obama wants, and let's say ten of them, our isis how many Americans are they gonna kill? And are we willing to take that chance as many as they can, especially if we have an nybody who's declared they will use that as a tactic and have already used that tactic successfully. But the other aspect of the nature of our enemy that we oftentimes missed. If they have a long term view, uh, they take a they take a decades long view of how they infiltrate uh and and eventually take take advantage of open societies who say they want to welcome people who are displaced, and then ultimately they come in, establish relationships and and and continue to radicalize and grow and create future vulnerabilities. I mean unfortunate. Reality is my home state of Minnesota is a preview of these types of things, with big problems we had with unassimilated Somali Muslim populations who have been there for decades and fled civil war. But now the second generation, the kids of those refugees, don't necessarily feel the same allegiance to the state in our country as we should, and we're seeing problems of them being Hillary Clinton Secretary of State problem. Hillary Clinton took in thirty three thousand, I mean, all told, since nine eleven, two thousand and one, we've taken in a hundred thousand Somali refugees. You know, let's take a case. Everybody can ask Ammy Harrowitz there will take the case of Syrian refugees. I mean, I think most Americans understand that we don't want innocent people suffering and getting caught in the middle of a civil war. And I think most of Americans would be willing to pony up some money, some taxpayer dollars and create safe zones and provide food and water and medicine and blankets and cots and baby formula and supplies. But let's put it in a safe zone within their own country, so eventually they get to go back to their own home, where I would assume they want to be absolutely And I think you're hitting a great point. I'm I'm more than happy to provide funding to Jordan's and to Turkey to make sure that they can create a comfortable environment for those refugees until there is time for them to go back to sit to Syria. But the problem is, let you know, you play the vetting issue is an interesting one, but it might actually miss the point. Yes, there's absolutely no possible way to joke. We can't vet these people, clearly, But there's a bigger problem and and and Peaches hit upon it, which is the reality, unfortunately, is there is a consistent and dangerous disregard of American values by these refugees, and that's why they are not able to self integrate. It's not that we're not able to help them integrate. We're trying our damnedest here in the US. They don't want to self integrate. So the problem becomes not the refugees themselves. Altho, they clearly might be a problem they look at Europe, but the problem for us here in the US is their kids are more radical than their parents. Well that's what t was saying. Well, let me ask you this, tell everybody about the trip that you took. And from what I understand, you're actually in Sweden now because there's a rape of pandemic going on there because of the migrant crisis. We saw Angela Merkel take a big hit in terms of of the election that took place in Berlin and the Anti Borders Party did did phenomenally, Nationalist Party did phenomenally. Well, So what did you do? Yeah, because two important, sorry, two important takeaways from that trip I took the Turkey. Takeaway Number one was that when I was walking in the streets of Ismir where all these refugees gathered before they get on these these these rickety rafts, and to crossover when I what I did with them into Greece is that I saw isis recruiters in Ismir trying to recruit these refugees. This is not this is an open secret in Turkey. This is not something that you've got to dig real deep to find out. And even more than an even more interesting than that, is that, yeah, you know what, I feel terrible for them, but the reality is these are all males fifteen to fifty and when you asked them, as I did, why did you leave Syria? Why are you going to Germany? Their answer was almost across the board, exclusively because I want more opportunity. I want jobs, which means that we do not have a moral obligation to bring to me. It's an economic migration, not necessarily when they're running for their lives. That's why they're not bringing their kids in with them. Well, that's why I think that the Angela Merkel's party suffered the biggest hit since World War Two. What are you doing in Sweden? Now? Tell us what you're investigating. So, like I said, I've spent time with with these refugees in Germany, in France and Belgium, in the US and now I went to Sweden because the Sweden, where rape was almost unknown ten fifteen years ago, the rape of pidemic now and it is epidemic is monumental rates. Sweden now has the second highest per capita rate of rapes in the world, not in Europe, in the world, and it's almost exclusively done by immigrants. And the sad part is and the scary part is that the Swedish people have their head in the sand and the government is making it is actively trying to hide those numbers of rapes and who's committing them. And that's the it's it's sad and it's terrible. What percentage of these rapes that are taking place? And we all heard what happened what was a Christmas Eve? For New Year's Eve of this past year? What percentage is happening by these immigrants? So the last time the Swedish, so that every few years Sweden has a crime statistics, they put out the last one they put out before the most recent one show that it was sement of all rapes were done by uh by Islamic immigrants. Interestingly, the last crime statistics be put out pulled out from those statistics the background of the rapists. We don't know what the percentage today because they refused to show it. Congressman Babman, I want to go back to your Republican party, and I think you know me well enough to know I'm not exactly thrilled with Republicans in Congress right now, but there are a few people like yourself that I happen tolike and that are trying to do some good work here. I would think that every Republican will be signing onto your bill and trying to support the things you're doing. Is that happening or am I just fantasizing in La La land here? Well, we've got eighties six co sponsors on my bill, eleven excuse me, thirty? Uh and we we were how many Republicans are in the Congress now? Yeah, yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's a good point, Hannity. Well, and let me guess what percent to the Freedom Caucus members signed onto it. Uh, you know, I couldn't tell you, but a great, a great percentage of them. And so, um, well, I'm gonna have to run, but I just want to thank you, and I hope people will sign on. Is there any place people could contact the congressman or what uh you know, what they need to do is tell their contact your congressman and tell them that we want refugee halt the halting of the refugees until we can we can properly, proper And the way we can do that in forty eight days is get to Donald Trump. Pete also a great job on Fox and Friends. Thank you, sir. Never people enough. I know you know deepna killing up and you may go the floor. They kilda on black Man, They kilda online black Man Charlotte, North Carolina because he was reading a book. Now make this do for so nothing but love, so nothing but long. What are you scared? He was scared. He's scared doing this. It was at a book. I'm here. It was a cook as a constitution that you got to follow. And just because my skin is done, you don't have the right to hide behind white privilege and white supremacy and murder us and go home and fix the soundage. You do not have that right. And we will not leave until you understand that. Every day you're you're at the Bad Boy reunion joke, you had bubble you at Club one right now you don't give a fool about John people. When you get shot out front of that, don't be mad. We won't be marching for you. We out here like a mother in Taliban were out here like the Taliban. They ain't got them then out gases and that thing. We out here like the Taliban. We are here. We are here. That's what they do that. They ain't going nowhere. We don't need you all on our streets. We got this, we got this, we got this period, we got this. You're gonna take a body off of our street and leave live. You're staying with us, buddy. I ain't every tear. Guys. I eat that lunch, nigger. Look look I eat that lunch. That's what they're gonna stop me. That's what I'm stopping me that week. Because I'm black and I'm strong. You think I go I mean thing I can about that tip gas, y'all gonna see what's up. I told y'all man you think, don't worry about martial luck. Man got it here with that cool because many were about none of that. That tip asked weak his head. I walked straight up in that moth. I'm gonna my country. I wouldn't have it any other way. I wouldn't have it any other way. When I look at you, I don't hate you. Man. For how many times you have got me to look on the way. How many times you have me to look out the way? Man, be going, Just give me an answer, Just give me an answer. Now, I really don't hate to I don't hate none of you. But I love my country. I got brother that died for me. Man, you've seen this. Man, you're going this? So why why I don't hate you? Man? I don't hate none of you? So why y'all just playing this? You know what you can do is just looking all the way. We're watching modern day lynching on social media, on television, and it is affecting the psyche of black people. That's what you saw last night. This is what Well, you don't get your justice. Uh, we don't get a redress for our our grief, and we don't get justice. This is what you see, and you're gonna see more of that. We're not telling our brothers and sisters the stop. We're not gonna get out there and tell you all, brother, you shouldn't do that, you shouldn't do this where we ain't getting no justice all right, news round up, information overload our here on the Sean Hannity Show. Some of the sounds of the eruption last night, the riots last night after black cops shot an armed black suspect. Originally they were saying that he was not armed. In fact, the police confirmed today that he was. Among other things, one of the things I think we've got to ask ourselves when you have a movement like the Black Lives Matter movement, and what do we want dead cops? And when do we want them now? And pigs and a linkt and fry him like Bacon and and their leaders get invited numerous times to the Oval Office in the White House with the President and Hillary Clinton of course gives them an audience and seeks out their advice, and their counsel on criminal justice matters. Want to ask the question, what's going on here? Anyway? They are more protest. Plan for tonight we'll be watching closely. Of course, we have our our town hall with Donald Trump addressing issues in the black community, and um, we'll be getting into all of these topics and much much more. Anyway, here to go through all of this, we have Horace Cooper, legal commentator, co chair of the Project twenty one and Organization of Black Americans. Also, Mercedes Cohen is a litigator attorney. By the way, she's a shark and a Fox News contributor. Welcome both of you back to the program. I say that in the most complimentary way, by the way, Mercedes, because if I ever get in trouble, I'm going straight to you. I hope you'll never made Yeah. By the way, Russell Mills joins us to an anchor reporter from our affiliate and Oklahoma, there's been some mixed stories about what happened down in Oklahoma. We checked in with one of our sources on the ground there and apparently there's some issues involving the dash cam video of the only works when the front lights are turned on and when rear hazard lights are turned on. Is the case in this situation that happened down there, since it was a traffic hazard, the camera did not turn on or engage anyway. Uh, Brussel, why don't we start with you? What's going on down there? Well, we're finding out that Reverend Al Sharpton and the National Action Network of planned a couple of rallies, one in New York and one here in Tulsa on Tuesday. That will be the Tulsa rally. Uh. The family has has been very consistent. We're talking about Scharence Crutcher's family about urging people who remain calm. But there have been protests, several of them in the various areas of the city. There are a couple of church services plans for this evening, and fact the city council canceled their Wednesday night meeting, um because they've a lot of them planned to go out to some of these church services. Um, it's a red ball here and talk to uh Sean, I'll tell you that. But what's kind of interesting to me is, uh, you know, we've got a case that's that's fairly clear out of you know, an unarmed black man being shot by police. That's just the fact. And yet we've had no writing, we've had no burning, we've had no losing, nothing like that. And I have to say that's, uh, that's definitely a positive development for tall. So unlike what we've seen, what do we know about about the person shot here and the movements that he made, and did it appear that he was reaching for something or trying to retrieve something from the car well, and that was the contention of the the attorneys for the officer Eddy Shelby, who who fired that fatal shot, that he was reaching in the car. And yesterday the attorneys for the Chrustre family, uh made it pretty clear. They've got video. They've blown up frames of the video that show blood on the window of the car. So the windows of the SUV were definitely closed. Now there is a point where you can see he kind of his hands seemed to lower a little bit, and I'm sure the contention is gonna be maybe he was reaching for a weapon in there. But Police Chief Chuck Jordan's made it very clear Monday when he addressed the t issue that had no weapon was found on Mr Crutcher or in the car. So which makes this very different from the North Carolina case because the original reporting said that the person was unarmed. On the other hand, I understand that in this particular case that Mr Crutcher apparently has a long criminal history and appeared to be under the influence, where so the police are charging and had an alter. I'll tell you I've looked up his history and I'm not seeing a long criminal history. At least we have something called the l s c N, the Oklahoma Supreme Court network. I was able to find a protective order from twelve years ago that dismissed. I found a couple of financial things. There's there's no violent criminal history for Mr. Crutcher that I've been able to on. However, how many warrants, how many warrants were out for his arrest not well. I read that there was a numerous warrants out for his arrest, including one assault on an officer and drug trafficking. Of those reports incorrect as far as I know they are. I've not seen any reporting on any warrants UH for Mr Crutcher, and I certainly haven't uncovered any myself. So and there has been, you know, some misinformation quoted. And I will tell you you know, we had a homicide detective stay yesterday that that they found some some drugs in the car. That may or may not be the case. Our source set as much there too, that they were found in his possession. But you know what, these are things. Again, we have a source within UH, within the department that has given us some information. So I guess it's a matter of time. But when they're gonna release this information so I'll have to wait and see, you know, Mercedes, I you know, we've seen many of these cases, now high profile cases. Do you in any way see that there is a connection in terms of the embracing of the Black Lives Matter movement, the economic decline, especially disproportionately impacting Black Americans the last eight years under President Obama, impacting a lot of what's going on in inner cities. You know, it's so such a shame because a lot of the inner cities are reacting that way. There is there is a dispportunate number of unemployment among people of color, and so so there's a desperation, economic desperation. Then there's this universal distrust unfortunately for law enforcement. And frankly, what a thankless job to be a police officer these days. They're giving their lives for the communities. They're out there walking to beat, they're trying to secure the communities, make them safer, and yet they're being targeted and when they when they react, and frankly, we weren't there. We're not the officers that are that are in the scene. We are not in their minds. We don't know what they're reacting to. We don't know what their thoughts were right before the shots were fired. But these are individuals that have a lot of training. They know that it is a stressful situation. They're making split second decisions. And now we're month night quarterbacking and saying, well, you may have made the wrong decisions. Maybe you didn't see the way things were. These officers that that pulled the trigger boats that we honestly felt sincerely that our lives were endangered. That's what we reacted with that force. We're not out there, were not vigilantes. We are police officers of law enforcements with a lot of training here to secure and make sure that the secure the communities, to make sure that individuals are safe. And unfortunately, there are a lot of extraneous factors that are leading to this distrust amongst people of color towards law enforcement. And a lot of it has to do with with the economy. You know, we have three thousand, six hundred and sixty Chicago residents killed since Obama has been president. We have this year alone, over people have been shot in Chicago. The vast majority are are African American. We don't know the names of any of these people. And and one I asked to wonder if we only hear about the Cambridge Police Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, Ferguson, Freddie Gray, or an instance where there's only cops involved, Why is that, Horace Cooper. Yeah, it shouldn't surprise you and your listeners that the Department of Justice is announced that they're going to be investigating the shooting that took place in Charlotte, and I imagine we will see something similar in Oklahoma. And yet there is no announcement with regard to the massacre that's taking place in Chicago. Now. I also want to highlight a second concern that I have. Um we see Saturday night, I'm watching football and suddenly I see an alert on Twitter that something has happened in New York City. Every effort was made by the leadership in New York City, including the Mayor, which I think was a little embarrassing, to downplay the seriousness of this, to give people the space to operate and learn. We are doing exactly the opposite. In these cases. There is a rush to judgments. The claim is a light guy shot of black man. It turns out in both cases that wasn't true. One case, it was a woman. In the other case it was a black officer. These narratives are ramped up, thrown out, and then they exploit grievances that already exist within the black community. By the way, I just so you know, Russell Mills, my source that I have down in Oklahoma, has actually sent me the arrest record in the warrants that are existed. I mean, you got warrants for assault, larceny, drugs, liquor, uh, drinking weapons all on file. I'm surprised you can find them. I'll be glad to make be put in contact with our sources, but I think you gotta dig a little deeper, you know, forward those to me because one of the problems has been alternative spellings of Mr. Crutcher's name, and that has complicated some of the reporting. Well the spelling is c R U T c h E R right. Talking about the first name, well I'm talking about yeah, I'm talking about Terrence Crutcher. Tafford is his middle name. Birthdate. I don't know if I should give this out on radio, but you know, well that's okay, Well, don't don't necessarily do that, but I will tell you, please what what his what his family is saying, is what he's done in the past, what he was doing that night. Um wasn't necessarily Jermaine at the moment when that officer pulled the trigger. She didn't have those records in front of hers. She didn't know what was in the car. Um and and but to be fair, and I spoke with our Senator James Langford about this yesterday. He said, you know, people do not should rushed to ascribe motives to this officer. We don't know what was going through her mind. There is we oft no evidence that this man was shocked because he was black, or that she's rapist or anything like that. And that is why everybody, you know, needs to take a breath and let the investigation take its course. And to the gentleman's point of a moment ago, yes the U. S. Attorney's Office was called by the police chief by Chuck Jordan. He asked them to do a parallel investigation. He wants somebody looking over his shoulder. He wants to make sure that I gotta I gotta let you all go here. Uh, Mercedes will give you the last word, go ahead. So I mean, I think there has to be slowing down of what's going on around us. And frankly, it's not just black lives matter, it's blue lives matter. It's every color matters. And when when many types of occurrences occur, we just have to slow down to the proper investigation, let the investigators get do their job, and let people get to the bottom line. That is the best thing that anybody said their general day is out there to be a vigilante. These people put their lives on the line for us. Respect, they deserve the presumption of innocence. Also, all right, thank you all for being with us. Alright, forty eight days America lives or dies. And when you consider the stakes and the dramatic differences between these two candidates, it's pretty true, right Supreme Court vetting refugees saying or not saying radical Islam. Let's see what else we got. Massive differences and economic plans. One wants to cut taxes, dramatically stimulate growth, allow multinational corporations to bring back the trillions of dollars. Energy independence or energy dependence. We're gonna build the wall. We're not gonna build the wall. Will build a bridge so anybody can come over any time they feel like. Education back to the States are top down any a supported common core I mean the chance. I mean it's dramatic. It's just a dramatic option, and one will to America's continued decline, if not worse, and the other hopefully will turn the ship around. I happen to catch a report last night NBC Nightly News hosted by the Way by presidential debate moderator Democrat Lester Holt, which extolled the virtues of flooding America with Syrian refugees, and, as I pointed out, Obama's now saying, hey, we need a hunder and some thousand more, and Hillary wants increase even though many of values that directly contradict our own constitutional values. Anyway, the report insisted that these refugees are already subjected to full proof, a full proof vetting system, and once they get here, they almost always become patriotic pillars of the community. Meanwhile, we have brand new polling today that by a landslide margin, you the American people oppose Obama's plan to import a hundred thousand plus a hundred and ten thousand more ref fugees, particularly Syrian refugees. Now, I'm sure the Presidential Debate Commission, and no idea how far out of the mainstream NBC News anchor Lester Holt was when they picked him to moderate the first Trump Hillary face off. Voters strongly opposed Obama's plan to bring a hundred and ten thousand Middle Eastern and African refugees to the country next year, up from eighty five thousand this year, and of course Hillary wants increase seventy percent of likely voters opposed, increasing the number you think it's probably even higher. One good piece of news looks like the never Trump movement is finally dying dead, buried. Only a few stragglers at work at n r O and work at the Wall Street Journal and work for Mitt Romney surviving and hanging out. But anyway, Republican support for Donald Trump is now at an all time high. For him, GOP voters are now just as unified behind Trump as Democrats are behind Hillary. According to the Huffing and Post Polling average, Republican voters who had previously withheld their support for Trump have come around recently, and Trump has managed to gain six percentage points among Republicans since mid August, and he's on an upward trend. Clinton has typically enjoyed an advantage against Trump and the polls, partly because she pulled a greater percentage of the party's vote than Trump did, and her support among Democrats has been relatively stable throughout the general election. But you know, Donald Trump now has the same level that Hillary does. All right, let's get to our busy telephones as we say hi to George in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, the site of our town hall with Donald Trump tonight. And that's Pastor Darryl Scott's church, and I've been invited to preach there and I can't wait. There are a lot of nice restaurants on Lee Road that you can enjoy. Is there anything better? You know? Uh? Is there anything better than a nice lunch, dinner, whatever you're gonna eat after Sunday Church? Is there anything that tastes better in the world. No? And if you come, I would be happy to buy you lunch. Kenny Chesney has a song in the Smell of Sunday Chicken after church. It's a great idea. I'm telling you, there's nothing better. I remember when my father would take us to Mass and we get in trouble the whole time, and it was so embarrassing. My father would usually work lady was he was waiting tables and stuff most of my young years in life. And he'd get home at like five or six in the morning and then take us to like eleven o'clock Mass. And he's so embarrassing. My father would fall asleep every single Sunday an I used to go to when I go to math, I used to go to Mass, and there was a good priest friend of ours, and there was another priest who would also serve, say Mass in our church, who was a Benedictine monk. Yeah, and we would go to we would go to breakfast after church. Yeah. Our priest friend was a very liberal liberal and he never worked a day in his life. Our friend, the Benedictine monk was as conservatives as conservative and Cury was living in the Communist community and he taught at the local Benedictine High school. You know. But after church, I we beg our father, my father, and I said, come on, Dad, please, can we go to Western's and get some French fries? Please? Please, please? And he thought it was the biggest pain in his ass. But you know, every once in a while he'd given well, I hope you enjoyed the state in Cleveland Heights, which is not part of Yeah, no, it is. It's beautiful there, and I'm a big fan of Pastor Scott and he's a good man and the members of his church, his community are are wonderful people and it's a great honor. It really was, and I'm surprised that you were. I hope you will well receive because it is a bastroom bastion of liberalism extraordinarily. Yeah. But you know something, when you know this drives me nuts as a conservative that conservatives they're racist, they're sexist, they're homophobic, they're misogynistic, they're xenophobic. Is homophobic And we're hearing this from a lady who takes millions of dollars from countries that abuse women, kill gays and lesbians, and literally persecute Christians and Jews. And I'm like, I gotta be lectured by her. Well, that is how I feel. You also aware that Cleveland Heights is the hometown of Congressman darryl Isa. I do know that. Yes, yes, he's a good guy. He's a great guy. Yeah, I went to high school with him. Yeah, so well, Sean I love your show. I listened to you on the internet because you aren't in our city. Well, well not we're not in the exact city, but we are in Cleveland and w T a m. But we're delayed there. How you been in WTM? How delayed are you? I forget the time off the top of my head, Linda, can you tell me very few stations delay the show, but that's one of them. Well, I enjoy your show. I met you when you're with the RNC because I was one of the workers. So thank you for coming. Well, I appreciate you. Know what I got. I got a really good time. We had wonderful week in Cleveland. And you know, Cleveland, Ohio is a lot like UM. By the way, Dennis Cascinach is from there. He was the mayor there for a while. And I actually like Cassinach. I mean, he's a pretty thoughtful guy, and I don't agree with everything he says, but I like him. He's a personable guy and his his family is wonderful. But um, anyway, I appreciate your hospitality. Thanks for having us back, and we really appreciate it. Anyway. Matt and Tulsa, Oklahoma, Man, how are you and uh uh how and thank you for the program, for coming to the program. I have since since this reporter was on, I knew I have this information. But there is a ton of warrants out on this guy. Yeah, you're right, Shan. Actually, while I was listening to you listen to him talk about his investigative reporting, I pulled it up on Oklahoma State Okahoma Supreme Court and Network this morning, and I think they have us spelt incorrectly, A T, E. R A and E. Kafford Cruncher is what they have is spelt on the OSC and And when you look at that, there's any criminal charges, um, the most recent being back in two thousand and thirteen. All of them have drug related issues, um and one of which I believe the two thousand and six actually has where he has read it off to you real quick assault and battery upon a police officer. He's got a whole lot of warrants out for his arrest, and I think that those add context and texture. And I'd ask people in Tulsa just like i'd ask the people in Charlotte, you know, don't rush to judgment. Let's wait and see. I mean the first report I heard out of out of Charlotte was oh, there's there's a guy was un armed, shot you know, needlessly and he was carrying a book. Well, that turned out not to be true, just like the initial reports about Michael Brown turned out not to be true. You're exactly right. And that's and that's the thing is, you know, nobody should be rushing to judgment without all the fact being out of the team. Yeah. I mean a lot of people thought that, you know, George Zimmerman, the you know, the the cowboy was out there as as a wannabe comp and lo and behold, you have an eye witnessed that saw Traymont grounding and pounding his head into some men and we heard him screaming for his life. You're exactly right, all right, buddy, Thank you for the update. We appreciate it. Tampa, Florida, w f l A. What's up, Dave? How are you do great? How are you? I'm good? Sorry, what's going on? I just wanted to make a comment earlier. You gave some great statistics, as you generally do, about the number of unemployed, homeless, etcetera. In this nation, and I think you you gave the number of somewhere forty to fifty million homeless people in this country. No, I don't, I don't remember that. Let me pull out my sheet here and one of many. I gave a lot of statistics out. What I said is we have the lowest home ownership rate in fifty one years. I did say that the African American homeownership rate is hounds since Obama has been president, more than lower than the national average. I did say the poverty rate in the black communities twenty four point one percent, that's over ten percent higher than the national average. I did say since Obama has been president, the black community is seen a fifty eight percent increase of Black Americans on food stamps, jump in the number of Black Americans who are not participating in the labor force. Home ownership rate is down, Unemployment is eight point one percent in the Black community. National averages four point nine percent. So they have been disproportionately negatively impacted. And you know, I know everyone's paying attention to Oklahoma, and everyone's paying attention to Charlotte, and that's in the news, but over people have been shot in Chicago this year alone, and since Obama has been president three thousand six hundred and sixty people have been murdered, and Obama never talks about it because it doesn't, I guess, fit into the whatever narrative he's pushing. No, And simply, I think they think that the bulk of the people here are unintelligent. I just think it's disingenuous and politically incorrect to suggest that we have all of the homeless in this country, all of the unemployed in this country, yet somehow we're going to be able to feed, clothes, employ and provide shelter to three to four hundred thousand refugees when you think of all the people that liberals want to take into this country eleven Look, let's say we keep the boarders open. Hillary says, I want to build bridges, not walls. Okay, so we have open borders, open borders, What does that mean We have at least it's estimated to be eleven twelve million illegal immigrants in the country now eight nine million of them work. Well, there's ninety million Americans out of the labor force. So what do we have more competition for fewer and fewer jobs, driving wages down dramatically, and the people that have been disproportionately impacted by that. Again, are Black Americans, And the more that they are given, the more they vote for those that gives. Well, you know, uh, Donald Trump, I think is doing the right thing. He's saying, I want your vote. He goes, you can't do much worse. But I think beyond that, he's talking about high paying jobs in the energy industry. He's trying to incentivize trillions of dollars to come back to the country and allow multinational corporations to bring that money they have parked overseas because they don't want to give it to our government. And he's gonna say, I'll let you bring it back at a ten percent rate. But then use the money you've got and build factories and manufacturing centers here and and build them in Wisconsin, and build them in Detroit, and build them in Ohio, and build them in Pennsylvania, and build them in the industrial Midwest. I mean, put those You know, it's sad you go to Flint, Michigan, and Donald Trump says, you know, it used to be that we made cars in Flint, and you know, you had bad water in Mexico. Now you've got the cars being built in Mexico and bad water and flint. It's sad, but it does capture a moment of of how profound this decline has been. It's not been good for American workers, and putting Americans first is not a bad idea. It's a great idea to do that. Thank you for what you're doing. All right, my friend, thank you? Back to our phones. Uh, let us say hi to Elaine and Philly w PHT. Hello, Hey, how you doing good? How are you good? I start to talk about um, this North Carolina again, these riots? When are we going to deem black lives matter of a terrorist group? You know? I don't know what. All I know is when I hear a group of people say what do we want? Dead cops? And when do we want them now? Or pigs in a blanket fry am like Bacon, I certainly don't think they belong getting invitations to Obama's White House or into Hillary Clinton's campaign, and both those things have happened. Well, what can we focus on the people that charized last night? Can we focus on the truck driver who they looted, almost killed that buyers? Can we focus on the Americans who had nothing to do with this? That's a terrorist act? And it's a pattern now. And if Hillary thinks that everything's great in this country, then she's whacked out. I mean she and we know she's whacked out, but we I want to know what, Loretta Lynch, what the Homeland security you're doing? The unions on the truck drivers, the unions for the police officers, the people that represent us, what are they going to do about these groups that when they hear something, they don't even have. Uh, any Republican, any Republican hung out with any group that said anything similar. You'd hear about it every day, But Democrats get a pass anyway. I've got to run. Thank you, thank you,
