All right, glad you with us eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you want to be a part of this extravaganza. You know, we got a lot happening today, a lot I don't want to get into today. And I will tell you this lawsuit. I have been doing a deep, deep, big deep dive into this lawsuit now that just got announced today. It is Jerry Fallwell, the president of Liberty University, against the New York Times, their reporter, they were a photographer. What they did in this case is just so typical. Now on the heels of let's say, Jill Laberns's comments about the New York Times, and on the heels of this Barry Weiss, I mean scathing op ed an opinion editor pushed back against the papers leftism, blasting her colleagues in you know, at the New York Times, unleashing constant bullying upon her literally, you know, calling her a Nazi and a racist at times. Whatever happened of freedom of thought and ideas and expression. And then you get into some of the very specific language that they lay out in this case, and it's devastating. This has all the potential to be a landmark case you know, the New York Times publish a story ever headlined Liberty brings back its students and coronavirus too. A university reopened and students got sick, and an op ed accusing the school of creating their quote owned viral hotspot. They reported after reopening quote nearly a dozen students were sick with COVID symptoms, claiming that they assured state and local governments that they would abide by the government's pandemic directives and they did not. And they portrayed us as the only university who have allowed students were to return who felt that they needed to do. So here's the problem. Everything they printed was a lie. Everything they printed was false. Why do I say the New York toilet paper Times? You know, they basically had two columns accusing me of murder. This is the same newspaper that said, who says it's not safe to travel to China in February? That's how dumb they are. But it even you know, but more to Jill Abramson, former New York Times executive editor. Now focus to the complaint. You know that it couldn't be more timely the words that she has used, and this op ed. Abramson wrote a book a year ago describing the paper had gone from journalism the journalism business, to social media advertising business that cared only about clickbait headlines and their progressive audience that they would enjoy, and which means stories that make conservatives look bad. This op ed writer, this young woman, Barry Weiss, resigning scathing letter. What the abuse that they put and she describes that they put on her as a culture at The New York Times. It goes against everything that supposedly liberalism says that they are four. It is the most hostile work environment I've ever heard of anyway that she writes about a predetermined narrative, explicitly promoting progressive causes, tolerates bigotry and doing so her words, so we get up. Twitter has become the ultimate editor ethics and more of that platformer become those of the paper. The paper itself kind of a performance space. They have betrayed their standards. They have lost sight of their principles, which is basically what this is all about. Now. The only problem with what they claimed in their articles, there was not a single COVID case in Lynchburg alone, let alone on the campus not one. What they wrote was false. They didn't they Now they were given an opportunity to retract and apologize, they refused to take it. And by the way, I'm paying very close attention to all of this as I watched the Sarah Palin case now making its way, remember the targeted District's case. At some point, lying, smears, slander. It needs to stop. We have this landmark case, somewhat troubling Times v. Sullivan. You know, a ridiculous standard of you're a public figure, you gotta show that there's malice. How do you show malice or at a reckless disregard for truth. That's such a high bar. The reason the Nicholas Salmon is going to be a billionaire, My prediction is Lynnwood is going to eviscerate him. These news outlets, fake news, CNN. Okay, then it's very common you have nondisclosure agreements. They're not going to report they paid this guy. I would. I guarantee you, my best guest is over one hundred million dollars and all of these other publications will follow suit and they all will pay after what they did to this poor kid over a fifteen second out of context snippet without even trying to get the other side. You know, this matters because in one hundred and eleven days, all of their you know, four years of smears and slander and besmirchment, all their conspiracy theories, they're hoaxes. It is repulsive. And for Liberty University, well they happen to be a well funded university. It's expensive to take on a lawsuit such as this, which often takes years, very expensive lawyers. You have to be willing to literally be deposed, you have discovery. It is. It's a nightmare. And I'm factoring all of this into my decision making depending on where I might go with us down the line, with myself. You know, it is unconscionable what they do to public figures. And I'm not done, by the way. I have a lot of other things in the works. Time will show you a lot of things. But anyway, they finished out the semester at Liberty and they only had one member of the Lynchburg student community who tested positive. But that person was living off campus, that person was living with their family, that person was studying online. That person had not even been to the campus for that semester. And this false claim that they reported that a doctor in charge of Hell told them nearly a dozen students were sick with symptoms at COVID nineteen. In fact, he was not responsible. He did not treat students. They didn't do any due diligence. He didn't have any firsthand knowledge, and any event told them the opposite. They didn't care. This is what we call a reckless disregard for the truth. They never bothered to talk to the doctor who actually was in charge of treating students at Liberty, despite being told that they should do so by the doctor they misquoted. They never gave the administration any chance to get them the correct information before they published, and virtually every school faced a problem. This problem was real now Liberty. They did all the things that the city and state asked them to do, no more than ten people in one place, social distancing, etc. Etc. You know, but you have student bodies, You have some foreign students, some other students that you know lived with elderly parents. They didn't want to get their parents sick, so they made a tough decision. They implemented all the safety measures that proved to be a healthy decision. All the naysayers were wrong as usual, that they sent a reporter from a virus hotspot mind you in Washington to the campus where they reported no COVID cases. They violated their own they violated Liberty's containment rules that they had established to keep their campus safe with no trespassing signs, and they didn't give a rip. In other words, and what an intentional attack on a university because they are conservative, they're an evangelical Christian university, and they don't care about the truth. They just wanted their clickbait, they wanted their you know, as Joel Abramson says, or as the op edit editor Barry Weiss said, she said, I mean it is devastating. This is you know, this is going to be has all of the potential to be a landmark case, all of the potential they go through all of this. Two thousand and six, managing editor New York Times asked on national television, how does it feel to be the managing editor of a paper that makes stuff up? Fourteen years later, Liberty University has that same question. Wow, that's a hell of a way to start a lawsuit. That's the preliminary statement. Then they go into the facts of the case. In deep, deep detail, and they tell the truth which the Times did not care about, which frankly they don't care about. Have they retracted, rescinded all of the lies and misinformation they've put out about COVID, noop. They just allow the smearing, the slander, the besmirchment. They just allow it all to continue. I mean, I'm reading this whole thing, you know, yesterday, and it is blown away. Twitter has become the ultimate editor. Barry Weiss writes, you know, she's just she's not even she's not a conservative, she's like quote, a centrist voice. I would argue, even probably a little more liberal. You know, the free and open exchange of ideas and opinion are dead, the search for the truth replaced by you know this, this liberals. She calls it the enlightenment of the few whose job it is to inform everyone else. Wow, that's let her. Bemoans the Times strayed from the ideals that they laid out their own paper. I mean to think that they failure to anticipate the outcome of the election. They didn't have a grasp on the country they cover. Their editors and others have admitted this on other occasions. You said, she was honored to be a part of it, and they brought in a bunch of people to write for the paper. The lessons that ought to have been followed after twenty sixteen, the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and centrality of free exchange of ideas in a democratic society have not been learned. She said. This is a beatdown. Twitter is not the masthead of the New York Times. Wow, she's a great writer too. Twitter has become its ultimate editor. Ethics mores of the platform, it become those of the paper, The paper itself increasingly a kind of performance space. This sounds like something you'd read about, you know, the worst website out there, not the prestigious New York toilet paper. Times. I call a toilet paper because it's as good as toilet paper, that's all it's worth, just not as soft. She goes on to talk about, you know, they're they're literally satisfying the narrowest of audiences, rather than allowing a curious public to read about the world and draw their own conclusions. Always taught journalisms were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. She talks about her own forays into wrong think made her the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree. They have called me a Nazi and a racist. I've learned to brush the comments off about you know, I'm writing a quote about the Jews again. Wow. Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me also badgered by co workers. My work and my character openly demeaned on a company wide slack channels where these masthead editors regularly weigh in. Some co workers, you know, insistent I needed to be rooted out of the company. How inclusive is that? By the way, you know, their employees smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter. No fear of you know that that harassing will be met with appropriate action. Now there are terms for this unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, constructive discharge. I'm not a legal expert, but I know it's wrong. I would expect another lawsuit for the toilet paper Times coming soon. You know they've allowed this behavior to go on inside this company, in full view of the paper's entire staff in public, and I certainly can't square how they and other Times leaders have stood by while simultaneously praising me in private for my courage. Showing up for work as a centrist at an American newspaper should not require bravery. Part of me wishes I would that my experience was unique. The truth is intellectual curiosity, let alone risk taste taking, is now a liability at the Times. Wow. Wow, that's the mob that I talk about. That's the ninety nine percent of media. You want to know why they want to silence every conservative voice is, including the one year Hearing now because we don't fit in that model. We're irredeemable, deplorable Trump voters, smelly Walmart shoppers. You know, this is the America that Joe Biden talks about. You know, we're going to transform and everything else he's been saying. Yes, you know, these are the bitter Americans clinging to God, their Second Amendment rights, their Bibles, their religion. Then not New York is. As Andrew Cuomo says, all right, as we roll along eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. By the way, I told you that I've seen a dramatic shift. By the way, Biding today calls Arizona an important city all of you in Arizona. You're a very important city. Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Good to see us, sir, And look, Arizona is very much in play in twenty twenty, so we appreciate you taking some time to talk to the people of our state. Oh you're it's an important city. You guys have gone through hell right now, aren't you? Yeah, important city. You guys have gone through hell. What's date of my end? Super Thursday, super Thursday whatever. Here's what's happened. By embracing the police have now become the enemy line. Wow. By embracing, well, realocating. I don't like to use the word Defundy says, I use the word reallocating, same thing as defunding, just to matter of you know, maybe it doesn't sound as extreme. By adopting the very verbiage and language of Bernie Sanders and AOCES New Green Deal and his five trillion dollar commitment now to this environmental madness, and I'll get into that more detail in the next hour. By aligning with Schumer Pelosi one hundred and twenty five years Combine three failure, by bringing in Beto Bozo, the mister, let's confiscate guns, let me tell you what this is showing. This is a brand new race, law and order, safety and security. Donald Trump saying he is going into these war zones that democratic cities have run into the ground, and he's going to protect people that's on the ballot. You know, immigration, the United Sanctuary States of America. You know, then amnesty for illegals, higher and higher taxes, false promises of everything. It's a new race, the biggest choice election in our lifetime. In Rasmussen shows the Biden's lead is collapsing. This is just the getting a lot's going to happen in one hundred and eleven days. Twenty five days, but in one hundred and eleven days. Yeah, this is where it gets serious. I meant to start with some incredible news today that on the coronavirus in this sense has known great news about the worst pandemic since nineteen seventeen and eighteen. And I know we have this intersection of politics and medicine, which always ends up with politics winning. I droxy chloroquin is probably the best case in point. And you know the fact that you have the study that shows that, yeah, it actually really did work. You know, nobody wants to pay that much attention to that part of it. Sad, you know. And when I read the letter forty two year doctor, the premiere, the premiere doctor on lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and deal with anti malarials and four hundred peer review papers and of forty two years, thousands and thousands of patients that he has prescribed hydroxy chloric win too many taking it with the rhythmomus and etc. And he said the risks are nil, and nobody wanted to talk about that doctor, this guy out at Cedar SINAI. It's sad because then at that point you're not giving the public good information. And I and Will granted everybody, you know, the experts were wrong. China lied to the world. There's there's a lot that went on here, and the president is now holding China accountable on a lot of issues, which is good because I don't think Joe Biden ever would look at what happened with the one point five billion dollars Bank of China, deal with his zero experience on there, and he still has money that he's getting back, and it's pretty unbelievable to me. His name is Daniel Wallace. Is the you know, this guy is the premier expert in the country, and I'd argue the world on hydroxy chloric win. The risks are nil at the doses that are being used to treat COVID patients. Those are his words. But still got politicized. You know, I got hammered. I always get the crappiet out of me. I just don't care anymore. The good news the pharmaceutical company, by the way, those evil pharmaceutical companies, well this one is Maderna. They're now beginning their brand new phase of testing for a vaccine. Their last test their stage what one or two trial that's beginning phase three of its vaccine trial now on July twenty seventh. They had forty five volunteers and they developed their rapid and strong immune responses when administering the vaccine, none of the participants showing severe side effects. Maderna developed the vaccine and coordination with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which by the way, doctor Fauci's the head of He's been wrong on a lot of things, but I always said I admired and respect his life work. You know, he was doing the best he could everybody didn't know. Don't wear masks. Wear masks, you know. Take okay, if you're young and healthy, go on a cruise ship. It's you know. I'm sure that he wishes he could take back a lot of what but he didn't know. And anyway, he said, no matter how you slice it, this is good news. We'll get doctor Oz's take. Well, it worked out that they had antibodies, and I'm gonna let doctor Oz explain it better than I can. That were stronger than if you actually got the virus. Antibodies. Pretty amazing. Phase three begins July twenty seventh. That's what twelve more days. That's amazing, and they're gonna use thirty thousand participants. The chief medical officers said the trial showed the vaccine elicited a quote robust immune response across all dose levels. Patients were broken up into three groups. They were given variation to doses twenty five, one hundred and two hundred fifty micrograms. The lead medical officer at Maderna said that the hundred microgram dose proved to be the optimal dose. They've manufactured enough doses of the vaccine for the next file phase of the trial. That's in twelve days it begins, and they're on track to produce one billion doses of vaccine by next year. That's amazing. They're confident they will have tens of millions of vaccines before the end of this year. Wow. And by the way, this also, you know, this was all part of Operation Warp Speed. I'm not sure the president will never get credit for it, but an effort to find a coronavirus vaccine, the President's Trump Administration's effort. And you know I told you that, I've said from the very beginning. My timeline is on Hannity dot com, it's on Twitter. The best part of it is very simple, is that I was able to, you know, say, I always had my faith in the medical researchers, scientists. They were able to break the sequence of this virus down in six weeks. That gave me incredible hope because that they used to take years and years and years to break down the sequence of a virus. Once you break down a sequence, now you're a long way towards the cure. This is sick. What's going on in Florida? Fox thirty five reporting Florida Department of Health now confirming today that and yesterday the private and public laboratories. You know, they're required to report positive and negative results to the state immediately. A problem is is that they weren't using the proper protocol. They now found and they alcohol read it verbatim. Countless labs in Florida have reported a one hundred percent positivity rate, which means every single person that got tested tested positive. Other labs had a very high positivity rate. One local lab reported all eighty three people tested had the virus, and then others were at eighty eight ninety percent. Then they investigated the astronomical findings and how the data was skewed in the lack of reporting of negative tasks, and Orlando's Veteran Medical Center positivity rate is seventy six percent. You know, based on all that we know, we already know it's almost mathematically impossible. I'm gonna say this one thing. On masks, I've already given, you know, big time. I've given anyway, Look, the CDC directors said the following, if everyone there was universal mask wearing, and I'm not talking about a government mandate, I don't wear a mask because somebody's telling me to do it. I don't have to wear a mask. I've been tested for COVID every time I've been around the president. I get tested before I'm around the president. Joe Biden admits everyone that it's around him. Same thing. And my personal decision, anecdotally, I'll say it again, is in the middle of this shift Adam shift show say that in honor of him. I was in the epicenter of this. I remember one Saturday in particular, I think there was like, you know, twelve thousand new cases we have very close to where I live. I'm like, jeez, you know, it felt like a cloud, a dark, dark cloud, and just you know, hovering over where I lived. It was a horrible feeling. And but I went to my grocery store every week, and twice a week I used I had to get out of the house. I put on my mask and I'd walk in. I'd get my groceries. And every week I saw the same cashiers, but they put up the plexiglass. Everybody had gloves and masks on. I saw the same guys. What was the name of it was his name, Robert, Robert. Robert was this young kid. He's such a good kid. I haven't seen him the last few times I've been there and nobody at the store. And I was there this week. Nobody got coronavirus. Nobody, you know, And that anecdotally tells me, Wow, this works. Now. I'm not into the government telling you anything. I'm not. I'm making a decision for me. I think anecdotally that tells me a lot. And the same could be said for my local. By the way, Yeah, I have this on on the doctor. I have it all um. Thank you, though, Linda, she's texting me, Linda text like a stalker. Are you're listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? Hello? Hello, I'm like, okay, my phone blows up in front of me. You're like to just dropped it, you know, somewhere anyway, So he says, if it was universal mask wearing, the virus will be in control four to six weeks. Now. I'm not telling you what to do. I'm not in that business. I'm not a doctor. I don't play one on radio, I don't play one on TV. I'm giving you anecdotal evidence from me. And this is where it hit hard first, and this is what I experienced, and for me, if it means that, I don't really you know, when my day is up, it's up. That's that's my understanding of life. I don't get to choose the day I'm born, the hairs of my head accounted, and when God calls me home, it's it. I can't add another second to my life. I wish I could. I, you know, choose a lot more years than I probably will ever get. But I wear it because I know that if I ever if I was asymptomatic, which you are in the beginning, but still can transmit this disease according to the latest information, which changes hourly, I wouldn't want to give it to an older person that does have an underlying condition. I wouldn't want to give it to a grandma or a grandpa, or a mom or a dad. I wouldn't want to give it to anybody. So this is a short interim period. For me, it's a no brainer, and I know some of you have been resistant. I understand it, and to me, it's for others. I also have selfish reasons, and I'll explain those. I would like to go to a baseball game. I'm dying to go, and if I have to wear a mask to go and get a temperature check, I'll do it. I would like to go to a football game in the fall. I'd like to see an outdoor concert this year. So those are my selfish reasons. And if that's what allows us back to normal life, I'm on it. And if the CDC directors saying that, okay, that helps it. By the way, Goldman Sachs went nuts today, I'm yesterday with their record breaking performance. Why on the hopes of a vaccine this is going to happen. It's not a matter of if it happened. It's going to have ep IT. Hydroxy Clara Quinn given early helped coronavirus patients. Yeah. Oh that study that came out, Yeah, that uh, that risk du the henry Ford Health Center. Actually, you know they did this for twenty two THI hundred forty one patients. Yeah, it's very effective if given in the early stages of contracting the virus. Unlike that VA study UM that were used late basically when people were dying and UM, the patients that received it, UM. You know what they did dramatically better. Wow. Four hundred milligrams twice a day the first day, two hundred milligrams four days following. Personally, I didn't even go longer. But what do I know about any of this stuff? Um? Anyway, that's my take on it. Now. The why is Joe going towards Bernie aoc Pelosi, Schumer, Beto Bozo because he knows darn well he doesn't have his left flank short up and he's probably gonna go a hard left for his VP because it's basically the whole Democratic Party anyway. Um. Now, Rasmussen survey showing forty seven forty four Biden versus Trump, and I think this is a brand new race. I don't think any of these polls. But Arizona is an important city. We've got to remember that Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Good to see us, sir, And look, Arizona is very much in play in twenty twenty, so we appreciate you're taking some time to talk to the people of our state. Oh, you're it's an important city. You guys are gone through hell right now, aren't you. Yeah, you guys in that city. What a hell of a city that is the guy's living a great city. Okay, that is a little bit scary. Don't you think that Joe Biden doesn't know the day the state? What office he's running from, you know, all the trusties of it. All men and women are created equal. And by the oh, the oh, what is that thing? You know, the thing? You know, but the thing. But anyway, look, he has a two trillion to five trillion dollar plan that is going to boost clean energy. Okay, that's now him pushing this. You know, Trump out a great line, he said, imagine if if the country was run like Chicago or New York City, you wouldn't have a country very long. And by the way, Trump's support in Alabama played a big role in defeating Jeff Sessions by a pretty big margin yesterday, and Joe Biden's the police have become the enemy, and defund and reallocate money, You're not going to be safe. That is game changing. The president vowing to straighten out the war zone in these democratic run cities is a big deal. You have a top NYPD cop today. Where do you see the images we'll show you on TV tonight. You know, blood pouring out of this poor guy's head. The Attorney General's right, by the way, there is no more noble profession than law enforcement. And that's those are the people I know in law enforcement. The ninety nine percent. But Morales in the toilet. Oh now in Saint Louis, they want this couple that defended their home, you got a rogue prosecutor. At first, they went in and took their legal guns. Meanwhile, the police didn't show up that night when it was all happening. President vowing to help. Portland is now the epicenter of, you know, the anarchy that's going on, and as is New York as his Chicago as his Seattle, and you know it's scary out there. New York City leaders now the African American leaders in New York of begging the NYPD to revive their anti crime unit that the Blasio shut down. If the countries run like New York City or Chicago, that would be a preview of Biden's America to me. You know, it's two to five trillion dollars tax hikes for clean energy. Let's get rid of all fossil fuels, fracking oil, coal jobs. That's ten million plus jobs he's saying goodbye to. You know, this entire agenda is a disaster. If you believe in liberty, free him, capitalism, law and order. You know what, the great country that we have grown to know and love goes away with these policies and these extremists, and they're all by the way. Now he's got the team in place. Let me tell you the only reason he doesn't move to the center because he knows. He knows he doesn't have his base. In spite of all the phony polls, in fake media and one hundred and eleven days. Nobody can tell you how it's going to come out. But I can tell you you can win this, and they'll choke on those words. We can now project Donald J. Trump has been reelected the forty fifth president of the United States. You the people can have it. And one hundred and eleven or twelve days, depending on what time they make the call, hopefully one hundred and eleven early in the night. But I can tell you you can make that happen, or we can have Biden's America. It's probably never been a time when candidates are so different. Law and order. They don't want law and order. We want strong clothes, borders with people able to come in through merit, through a legal process. They don't want to have any borders at all. They got to rip down the wall. It's hard to get that built and now it's almost completed. So Biden was here for forty seven years, eight years, the last eight years not long ago. As vice president, he said, one in five miles of our highways are still in poor condition. Well, we're doing a good job in highways, but why didn't he fix them three years ago? Why didn't he fix them? Tens of thousands of bridges are in disrepair and on the verge of collapse. Well it's probably not a right number, but we have bridges that should have been fixed. Why didn't he fix them? It was there for eight years with President Obama. Why didn't they fix them? Tens of thousands of bridges? This is what he wrote, high speed broadband. We want high speedber Well, why didn't he get it? Three years ago is not a long time, and he didn't do any of the things. But now he says he's going to be president. As president, he's going to do all the things that he didn't do. He never did, never did anything except make very bad decisions, especially on foreign policy. All right, that was let's get the simple man back up. It's got a flow better where we have simple man, because anytime we're gonna go to all things Bill O'Reilly Bill O'Reilly dot com. It's gotta have simple man, it's gotta have Leonard Skinner underneath it. Just let's hit it a little bit. It's like he's coming out on stage. The music is up, the lights are out, and then walks the giant and he really is a giant. What do you like? Six ten? How poll are you? Yeah, I'm sixty four, but my intellect makes me How does a simple man have the intellect that raises your stature literally by you know inches. I went to private school like you did on Long Island, those twelve years of Catholic school, mister O'Reilly, I was incorrigible. But the funny thing is, and I think you'd agree with this. You know, it got to me. I mean, deep down in my heart, I always knew I was wrong. I knew I was incorrigible. I knew I had to change my life. I knew I needed Jesus at some point to come into my life. And I believe all that well, I mean the discipline. And you know, this is a conversation that could really help the country if it were allowed to take place, but it won't because of the anti religion on the left. Hey, Bill, this is not a God free zone. God is allowed on this show. You can talk about God. Well, the Catholic school system spends far left to educate students then the public school system and gets far better results. Now, granted, people who pay the tuition are more motivated, the families were more motivated, there's no doubt. But if you read Cardinal Dolan's letter today made public about the savage attack on the Catholic Church by the Associated Press earlier this week about the Catholic Church getting seederal assistance in the form of loans to pay their workers, it was a savage attack and Nolan call them out. So you don't have a wide variety of discussion about why the Catholic Why does Catholic education work and public education doesn't work at least in many places. And that's a conversation. You could really help the country if we could have it, and would help every poor kid in this nation. You see, I think we're actually probably going to go through a transformation because my kids, who were athletes, many of their friends did homeschooling. Now that so many kids have, you know, tell a working is the future, Tell a medicine is the future. I would even argue that tell a college has gonna grow exponentially. I know it's a for example, Liberty University. We're gonna be joined by Jerry Folwell later in the program. But I mean they have I think more students that are online students than actually on campus. And they have a massive campus because I speak there every so often to the convocation of a you know, twelve thousand kids. M But you know we can we can save this for another day. Um, but let me there's a lot happening in the country. You like, you're the culture warrior. I'm watching this story about this Goya CEO who likes President Trump. Then what do we have? We have a boycott, but the boycott got overrun by something called the bycott. And by the way, you can include me in the bycott. I've donate to my local I don't know. I'm sure you have the same thing in your town food bank and a lot of they've needed extra help because of COVID, And I'm willing to buy Goya products. Linda's working on it now, and I'm going to send some to my local food bank. And I know that you you and I often match, you know, donations to each other. I'm not asking you to absolutely do that. I'll get it right on with you. Winnifred and Williams. By the way, we always do. We kind of support each other's charities, and I'm glad to you have so many good charities. But you know the point is, I'm what now, because you have a political point of view, we're going to destroy your business and hurt all the people that work for you. You can't put aside petty political differences even on this. Well, they've been doing this for years, the far left. It's interesting. The far right extremists don't do this. The conservative movement doesn't do it. It all comes from the far left, the extremists that want to tear the country down and vanish freedom of speech. But it goes even further than this. So the Goya guy goes to the White House to honor the Hispanic Economic Initiative A good thing. Right, everybody would agree with that. Why not having a Hispanic economic initiative? I think it's a good thing. And he goes there and he says, you know, thank you, President Trump, and you're doing a good job economically, because he is, because Trump is doing a good job economically for everybody, so that there's no argument with that. So as soon as he says that you have the mobilization of the haters, it's not so much ideology. Is these people just hate. So the first person that pops out is Anna Navarro on CNN, a top hater and at and t Spanger sary and all she does is hate people. Then you get joy behar and the view we call her joyless bills. She doesn't seem full of go ahead there. Everybody who's ever watched the woman knows she's a hater. Disney writes her check. Then you get and I was so sorry to see this, Lynn Manuel Miranda, the guy who wrote Hamilton a brilliant, brilliant piece of work. He comes out and this idiot Chrissy Tegan, who is this? A model who's never done anything. She's married to John Legend, the singer, and I hope they're happy, but they're haters, not manual. I think he just gets caught up in the political correctness. All right, But immediately this hatred is then embraced by the corporate media and disseminate it. Whereas if you had the exact same thing, and by the way. This is very important. The head the CEO of GOYA was very complimentary to Barack and Michelle Obama, very complimentary when he went to the White House to help Missus Obama with her nutritional campaign. Can the corporate media tell their employees not to hate people? Is that possible. Let's get back to this issue the corporate media. Can they Can they tell people just not to hate people and respect. Look look at this New York Times resignation yesterday. It blew me way and you know what that's all about. That's all about her wife supporting Israel. That's what that's all about. So sad alienate the rank and file of the New York Times when she wrote a pro Israel column. I have it right in front of me. And that's when her career went down the drain. Because the far left in America despises Israel. But I thought liberals were so full of light and accepting and open and they, you know, believed in the free exchange of ideas. It's not like that at all. The fascinating thing to me is and I know you you had a relationship with Bill Maher. I've interviewed him a number of times. I think he's a jackass, but it was, or even Jimmy Kimmel Moore recently Sean Hannity. I never called for anybody's firing, never have no boycotts. I don't support them. I refuse to. People can listen to watch what they want and then that's the end of the sentence for me. But I don't even want to use the term cancel culture. I just fine that those the people that are really tolerant are conservatives. I don't want any liberal fired. I don't want any show boycotted. They've gone after Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel and I had a big public fight when they tried to call for his firing. I absolutely would not chime in on that. I'm never going to. You know now they're trying to go back and you go after even Howard Stern, I mean, somebody that could pretty much do and say anything over the years. I'm not for that either. Nor is a skit that he did twenty five years ago. I think him and Robin are two of the most probably the most gifted team of radio personalities ever to exist. Look, I made a point, and you made the point earlier in this conversation doesn't come from conservative people. They don't do the boycott thing because conservative traditional Americans, even though they don't like a lot of these people, and that's certainly they're right not to like them, all right, they don't want to shut down speech, but the totalitarian left does. That's the big difference. So a guy like mar who I stuck up with for when after nine to eleven he said the killers weren't cowards, an ABC candom to that. ABC fired him for that. I said that was wrong. I didn't believe in his analysis, but they shouldn't have silenced him. And now ABC Disney has gone totally the other way. Now, as I said, they're putting up haters and paying them. So what we have is a collapsive standards in corporations, because six corporations control ninety percent of the news flow in this country, and they're okay, if you're a left winger, you can hate anybody you want, but if you're a conservative, you certainly cannot do that. You will be fired. It's it's getting really scary. But I think with this backlash with Goyo, there's something fascinating happening. And actually I don't know if you remember the whole car incident with me and somebody's trying to boycott me at the time, I don't even remember who. And anyway, then the most incredible audience at all the radio and TV bill They started dropping their carrog machines off of balconies. They started shooting them with shotguns. They started beating them with bats and with golf claws, and you know, and what I ended up doing, rather than going in the direction maybe people would have thought, I reached out and I purchased out of my own pocket. How many how many carrog machines, Linda, did we buy? Like five hundred of them? We bought a thousand. We bought a thousand, and anyone that you know showed us that they broke their carrog machine, we replaced them. And I was very appreciative because it put a stop to it. And I think this Goya Bye bycott as they call it, is having the same impact that gives me hope. And that is what is necessary in America to stop the madness that good people say, all right, I'm gonna buy Agaya stuff. I'm going to reward the CEO for standing up for his belief system. My campaign I'm Bill O'Reilly dot com is stand up for your country, and this is a concrete way you can do it. And if the folks mobilize every time they see this boycott stuff, it will stop. But that's the only thing that will stop it. Yeah, all right, Bill O'Reilly all things, Bill O'Reilly dot com. We'll take a break. We'll get his take on the election. Where we are now at this point, just a one hundred and eleven days till you become the ultimajority of the American people. That is, as we continue, Bill O'Reilly all things O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly dot com. All right, so we're one hundred and eleven days out, mister simpleman, where are we with this election? I think anybody that tells you that they know how this is going to end is guessing they've got a fifty fifty shot in that sense. I don't believe the polls, and I believe the race has been transformed by Biden saying that the police have now become the enemy. He's part of the defund movement or quote reallocation. He prefers that word. He's embraced Bernie's agenda. He's even plagiarized the exact words. AOC is in charge of climate five trillion in climate spending, he announced yesterday. And then we've got Beto O'Rourke, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi to fill out the entire squad. Certainly Joe Biden is selected, the country will lurch to the left and the economy will crash. You no doubt that. But there is a huge backlash coming in America that I think we'll put Donald Trump into office if he maintains a calm posture. Question as a president. Trying to bait him, why would Biden go along with the defund the police efforts? Police are now the enemy? Why would he adopt all of Bernie and AOC's agenda, Because that goes against conventional wisdom. You can go hard left or right, then move to the center. Here's the reason Joe Biden lives in a bubble. He gets his information from the Washington Post, number one, New York Times, number two, CNN, and NBC News three and four. That's all he hears. He believes that most Americans are on the side of the radical left. That is his huge mistake. I agree. The last week and a half, mark this date, Biden adopting Bernie AOC and defunding Mark this week. It will define a big part in my view of what the result might be. All right, Bill O'Reilly dot com, simple man, Bill O'Reilly, thank you. As always, when we come back, we get a coronavirus update and yes, a vaccine on the horizon. Some good news, doctor osways in next twenty days now live free or die America in the world on the brink, it's on hyperbole. It is the reality of what I see. We've got a ton of news, and a lot of it is very good news. If there is such a thing about well, a virus the worst pandemic since nineteen seventeen and eighteen in the Spanish flu. I talked very early and very often about my belief in the medical researchers in this country, in the world, especially this country, my belief in the scientists, the doctors, the medical professionals. No, yeah, the models were wrong, the predictions were off. There was so much confusion, but we've learned a lot of lessons on the health front. This is phenomenal news. Pharmaceutical company Maderna is now beginning testing for its coronavirus after all, the patients that took part of their initial trial showed robust responses to their Basically, their vaccine is what I take it as. They had forty five volunteers and they developed rapid and a strong immune response when administered the vaccine. None of the participants showed severe side effects, according to Maderna, and they developed the vaccine and coordination with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as part of Operation Warp Speed, which is the President's effort to find a vaccine. Doctor Fauci, the head of this group top infectious disease experts, said, with the White House Coronavirus Task Force applauding the initial studies. Now, they company said they will begin phase three of its vaccine trial on July twenty seventh with a study of thirty thousand participants. They'll all be volunteers. By the way, if it wouldn't impact my own life insurance policies, I'd probably offer to do it myself. But anyway, the doctor, the chief medical officer at Maderna, says the trial showed the vaccine elicited this robust immune response across all dose levels. They broke the patients up into varying groups and varying doses. The hundred microgram dose proved to be the optimal dose. They gave doses a twenty five one, two hundred and fifty grams, and they said they've already manufactured enough doses of the vaccine for the next phase of the trial, and they're on track to produce a billion doses of vaccine by next year. Doctor Oz, our medical a team. Doctor Oz, you're the pro you're the expert. This gives me the first real hope I feel I can sink my teeth into that we are well on our way to now defeating the invisible enemy. Well, it's a major advances. This is the leading group in the United States pursuing the vaccine. There's you know, seventeen the vaccines in clinical trials. Everything you said one hundred percent on target. Let me just highlight a couple of things. Of the forty five patients who got these vaccines, remember the two doses a month apart. They didn't just have antibodies. They had antibodies. They were about four times more than people who've actually had the COVID nineteen illness have actually gotten. So they what does that mean so well, theoretically it means that their immune response will be hyper vigilant, supercharged, and ready to go to battle if it's exposed to COVID nineteen. Now we don't know that yet because this is an mr Anda vaccine. And I'm not going to drag everyone in through medical school, but their old school vaccines and nude school tech vaccines. The old school ones are they used to just take a regular old mild cold virus. They can add no virus, put parts of the thing you try and make the vaccine against in it, and then you just infect people with that. Proven works, you know, it's the foundation of a lot of the vaccines. This is a very different approach. They just took the little snippet of mRNA and they fool the person into making more of it, and then you react to that a little bit of protein. So this is fantastic news that the principle which from animals we know works works in the humans. Now they've got to do the large US trial. Now, the thirty thousand people who are entering this trial are going to be tracked for two years. You might say, why two years? Why didn't to go so long? Because a third of the US population says, we don't trust the vaccine. We think it's dangerous. So you've got to really convince everybody that it's beyond the shadow of a doubt safe enough for most people to take. But along that path of two years, at some point, hopefully six months from now, everyone's going to say there's so many people who got the placebo who got infected just by living their lives in America, compared to so few who got the infection who got the actual vaccine, that the trials should be terminated and we should just understand that this is a safe and effective vaccine and then move ahead with widespread use. Let's make an assumption here as they begin now the trial of thirty thousand people. Let's assume the results are the same as the forty five people that they used in this most recent phase of trials. And by the way, an official of Maderna saying they're going to have tens of millions of vaccine doses by the end of this year. Now, the question is if the thirty thousand came back the same as the forty five, and somebody said, doctor Oz, are you going to take that vaccine? Would you take it? Now, assuming the thirty thousand same results, what would you say, I'd take it yet, thirty thousand people who are on it, people who are I'd take it too. Yeah, but that'd be some people will saying, we'll give me a year worth the data. I don't want to have him late. I respect that. I respect that a lot. Exactly, we don't have to have everybody take to vaccine. We just have to have most of people take to vaccine in order to get hurt immunity and prevent the virus from running rapid rapid in our communities. That way, especially the vulnerable members of society and the nursing homes will be safe. You know, it's pretty amazing to me. Now. I know you've read this as well as I have, and we had talked a lot during the midst of you know, this pandemic about hydroxy chloroquin. Well, it turns out that we finally do have a real study. You and I were both critical of the VA It was a retro study, retrospect of study, which you know, people were given it late in the game. But the analysis shows that patients were benefiting by taking high droxy chloroquin, especially when they took it early and it turned out and I'll give you the number, analyze the medical records of two thousand, five hundred forty one patients and said it can be effective during the early stages of the contracting the virus at the right dose. And what we found is if you take it early, it had a dramatic impact on saving people's lives. Do you agree with that study? So this is from the Henry Fort Hill system. I do believe those have all done study. I spoke to the authors. It was a retrospective study as well, and they were not alone. Mount Sinai here in New York, which is a massive, well respected system, had three thousand and seven hundred patients that they also studied also give hydroxychloroquin early on, and it both centers, both done on the centers, they're systems of patients to get those large numbers. Both said that they had about a twenty five percent mortality rate in the average person who came in, but the people who got hydroxy chloroquine early on, they dropped those numbers in half. So it's very alluring information. I'll tell you it does improve it yet only because we need to do the prospective study. But what I'm upset about is we've scared people so much about this drug. Neither of these centers, by the way, had major complications from hydroxy chloroquine. So now the people, the researchers who I've been talking to trying to do the studies to prove what the Chinese have shown in their randomized trials, which is there's a benefit of hydroxy chloroquine with zinc or zithromycin or whatever they're combining it with, are unable to recruit patients because they've We've reved up the fear, so people say, I don't want to take a chance. It's too days. I hate to tell you. That's the intersection of politics of medicine that you and I have also discussed at length, unfortunately, and we've spoken about the reality that when you you said this to me, and I've repeated it often when you can when you combine politics with medicine, you get politics and left what about room dissevere I know there's a lot of hope that was the RNA drug that was spoken of early then got a lot of hype. I don't know any study that has shown anything on that, do you not yet? But Rendezzervier. Although it did not show life saving benefit in the one trial, it was a very good prospective trial, so you know the kind of trial we try and make decisions based on. And it did show shortening of the hospital state. It's a building block. I was also excited about the study on steroids late in the course because it showed that you could reduce the autoimmune reaction. The overreaction of the immune system and the information that causes so made so much damage that also saved lives. In the study that the zone or something stronger decamenta zone. It was a cousin of PREDNA zone. But again the concept was based on an observation that almost all doctors were having, which is the early course of illness was primarily because the virus. Most people did not die from it, and they seem to do okay. Then there seems to be the second wave that because your body's immune system starts to overreact and you form blood clots in your major vessels, and then you have a bunch of other cycling cascade that starts to take place, and you want to stop that from happening. You know, the part of the reason I think the mortality rates have not been as high. I mean, the ice admission rates in the southern states that have been hard hit seems to be about half of what it was up here in the New York, New Jersey area. And we think part of that might be obviously younger patients that they do better, but some of it might be were just managing the disease better, not just because I mean I was medications. I had Governor abbadon last night, and I had Ron de Santis on the previous week. And the biggest change is that the numbers of young people contracting it now are dramatic. I mean, the average age is like twenty one. The average age is you know, much much younger. And we all know the one thing that remained constant was that older people compromised immune systems underlying conditions were in problems. Florida, we also discovered I couldn't believe this yesterday the Florida Department i Health. Apparently all these public and private laboratories they were given back one percent positivity rates. In other words, every numbers were way inflated in Florida, which you know, on the political side, they've been hammering the Santa's on it. But it had not been true. Well I saw that too. This actually came out of my affiliate down in Orlando, very good station, and I trust their efforts. I got to say, you know, across the board the we're sort of running into the same mod block, which is there are things we can do to make a difference. Wearing masks a good example, more data, you know, which you said me nice to you texted me an article lastly on that beautifully articulates a great story. But we've got to get clear on what we're running after. And I don't even think that it was the opening of the States, at least initially they caused this. And doctor Redfield from the CDC, who's got more access to data than anybody else, said he does not think that the Memorial Day. I'm sorry that the opening of the States was the problem. The Memorial Day weekend was a problem, and everyone started traveling around. And we're not defenseless, that's the point here. We've got all kinds of tools. And can I have two seconds? They explained the study that you sent to me, yea go ahead. Looked at two two hairstylists, two hairdressers, and one of them had gotten pretty sick, and they both got tested and both of them had COVID nineteen. But before they got tested and shut down, they took care of about one hundred and forty people. Half of those None of those people, by the way, got symptoms, and half of them actually got COVID nineteen tests as part of the study, and none of them were positive. None. So how is it possible two people in a closed environment more than fifteen minutes exposure, with both whom are positive passed it to not one of one hundred and forty people that we know of. And the difference was they wore masks are old fashioned cloth. You know, I've got the crap beat out of me a little bit from my position on this, but I lived in the middle of this like you, and I actually read a lot, and I want to learn what we did right. The CDC director now said, if everybody we had universal mask wearing, coronavirus is under control in a month to eight weeks Max. My argument has been, well, I'll wear a mask to save Grandma, Grandpa, mom, dad, and so I can go to a baseball you know, I'm obsessed and baseball game or a concert outdoors, or a football game and I kept using anecdotal information. I go to in the middle of this, I call it a shift Adam shift storm. I would go to my grocery store, in my drug store, and everybody was there in the same cash years, same everybody, same guys packing the shelves. Nobody got sick. They all wore masks. So my little anecdotal evidence as they work, it's about freedom. To me, face coverings don't take away our free and they give us free and they give us freedom that we don't have to have government to tell us what to do. They give us freedom as it can open our econoy go to a ball game. Maybe we don't even know how powerful they are because we haven't done it. But the best estimates from the folks that I trust is if we can get eight Americans to wear masks in public, this virus would be come up pretty much the Lenza virus and its behavior. We'd be able to do just about everything we wanted to do. We don't know that for sure. It's very sure turnal systems, right, It's it's not to me. It's like can we can I can you just do it for Grandma? And I don't have a grandmother, but I don't want to get somebody else as grandmother sick. All right, stay right there, doctor Oz, with us. More questions on the other side, right now, final moments, Doctor Oz remains with us. Really good news on Maderna and now we're moving to the next phase of clinical trials. Thirty thousand and I agree with you about the mass for other people because it's now, it's definitely it looks like, you know, a vaccine is on the horizon, so you know, I wish people would do it, but I'm not in the business of telling people how to live their lives, Doctor Oz. I'm sure you have patience. You tell them to quit smoking and lose weight, and a lot of them probably don't listen to you. It doesn't work. That's the unfortunate reality. It's right, it doesn't, you know. I tell you one of the best lessons I learned from Oprah, as you know, my partner on the show and I started. We used to call Oprah University. But the best lesson and she ever gave me says, people do not change based on what they know. They change based on how they feel people in politics, people will understand politics like you know this well but if you're fighting at home with somebody, you don't convince your kids by telling them. If you chivinced your kids by either showing them but they're doing it yourself or getting the emotionally engaged. And I think masks have been described as a way of sort of color coding. Whether you're on one side or the all or the other. It's about neither of that. It's about the issue you've been talking about. And fundamentally, it's about being kindness, which the Republicans and Democrats have in them. We are Americans, it's natural to us, and if we don't deal with the mask is a metaphor for being attentive to folks around us, social distancing being a good example. How much about hassle? Is that? All right? Doctor Oz? Hope? This gives us a lot of hope. CDC Director. If everyone wears a mask, the thing's gone in less than two months, four or six weeks. It's over all right. We'll keep everybody updated, Thank you, sir, when week come back. The president of Liberty University, Jerry Folwell, announces his lawsuit against the New York toilet paper. Time all right, glad you with us News round up Information Overload hour Sean Hannity's show. We're going to be joined in a second by Jerry Folwell, president of Liberty University, announcing his suit against the New York toilet paper Times. Now this on the heels of this editor at what is a scathing beat down of the environment at the New York Times. I've obviously had my own issues with this newspaper. I'm not done following New York Times v. Palin. That case is expected to be up I think at some time in August. Watching these cases very very closely. Barry Weiss, you know, pushed back against the papers leftism, and she was just beaten down in a newsroom that treated her horrifically, sort of like, let me give you the TV example, fake news, CNN. That's what we're actually correcting a story that we have been reporting through the day today about an email that was sent to the Trump campaign to then candidate Trump Donald Trump Junior and others during the heat of the campaign season. This email included a decryption key and also something a link to where they could access some of these hacked Wiki League documents from the Democratic National Committee. Now, we've been reporting that this email came on September fourth, that was before some of these documents were publicly available. But we have just received obtained a copy of this email and instead we now learned that this email was on September fourteenth, So that is ten days later than what we originally reported earlier today, And this is appears to has changed the understanding of this story because initially it seemed perhaps they were being offered access to documents that were not yet publicly available. Now, our initial reporting on September fourth date was based on two sources who had seen this email, but that information was incorrect. Now but this email came on September fourteenth, not September fourth, as we said earlier. A newly released document backs the explanation for why Attorney General Jeff Sessions did not disclose meetings with the Russian ambassador on his security clearance forms. The email shows the FBI told a Sessions aid that Sessions was not required to disclose foreign contacts that happened during the course of his duties as a senator. The newly released email supports the Justice Department's original explanation given last May when first reported the omission of foreign contacts on Sessions security clearance form. CNN has retracted a previous report from its investigative unit that claimed that Congress was investigating a Russian investment fund with ties to the Trump campaign. CNN has said that the story did not go through the rigorous editorial process that it should have. It relied on a single anonymous source. What was interesting was that CNNs Brian Stelter, who was their media writer, noted in his story that they're not necessarily conceiving that the story is wrong, but they're saying that it did not meet their editorial standards. This case against The New York Times by Jerry Fallwope and Liberty University. It is literally that headlines Liberty brings back its students and coronavirus too, and a university reopened and students got sick, and op ed accused the school of creating its quote owned viral hotspot, reporting that after reopening, nearly a dozen students were sick with COVID symptoms, claiming that we assured the state and local governments we would abide by the government's pandemic directives, and they did not, And they portrayed the university as the only university to have allowed students to return who felt they needed to do so. Now, all of that, according to this suit, was completely made up. Jerry Folwell, president of Liberty University, joins us, this could be my reading of all of this a landmark case. Let's talk about it. It really, it really could. I'm hoping that we can undo New York Times versus Seliman. Great to be with you, Sean, but all of that you just listed was completely made up. They that was back in March. At the time they made those reports, there was not a single reported COVID case in Lynchburg, let alone on our campus. And we finished this semester two months later with twelve hundred kids living in the dorms. Normally there's eight thousand. Not a single faculty, staff member or student on campus ever got COVID and the school year. In the school year ended, they reported there were twelve COVID cases, and they talked. Their source was a doctor who as an office ten miles from our campus, and he had seen a few students who had an upper respiratory Any doctor will tell you an upper respirat tory infection is not COVID. Related to COVID is lower respiratory and he told her that he told the reporter Elizabeth Williams and that, and he told her to talk to the on campus doctor at our clinic. She was here for probably the better part of a week and didn't talk to us or to that doctor. She waited until Sunday when she got back to New York. In mind her, she was coming down from New York and another reporter from Pro Publica was coming from from DC, and they had to go past at least twenty no trespassing signs on campus. And so they're coming from a hotspot to a place where there are no cases in the disregard our no trespassing science which are there for our protection of our students. And they that the doctor that they didn't talk to us. They didn't talk to our doctor, and they waited until Sunday when they went back to New York to call us in the afternoon, they already had the story written and gave our people about an hour or two to respond, and then they ran the story at three o'clock. So that just shows you how deceitful they are. It shows how much they've become sort of a BuzzFeed, clickbait type newspaper. And they unfortunately for them, they picked on they lied about the wrong conservative organization, because we have the resources and the resolve to fight them, and we're going to fight them, and who knows where where it'll go, but we whatever money we win, we're going to donate it to charities that are helping people with COVID nineteen. And we think it was an intentional attack on our university because we're conservative and evangelical Christian university. And you don't have to believe me. Jill Abramson wrote a book a year ago in which she described how The New York Times had gone from the journalism business to the social media advertising business that cared only about quick bait headlines. And just yesterday, very wise. So I'm told by my friends in New York as a wonderful lady um rot a skating public letter that um the paper right stories according to a predetermined narrative that explicitly promotes progressive causes and orthodoxy and tolerates bigotry to do. So those are her words, not mine. And so we uh, we're we're loaded for bear, We're going to war. So have you given them an opportunity to retract? I apologize and they just refuse. Yes, and they won't. They double down, They're printed more more lies and see I think. Look, I mean they accused me of murder twice basically in two columns. And Um, I'm I haven't made a final decision, to be very honest. Um, I'm gonna watch your case very closely. And I'm gonna watch the case Sarah palin Stall is an open case against the member of targeted Districts. And there there the madness. You're right about Jill Abramson, as you are right about miss Weiss. Um, I mean literally, you know, bullying this this woman, and she just eviscerated them yesterday. Um, you mentioned Times v. Sullivan that that is the standard where you have to prove. This is where we get the term absence of malice. You have to They made no effort to reach out and get the truth from you, except for going on campus having come from a hot spot when there was no cases, and they openly lied and they had no evidence, and you had no chance to get even give your side, and they tell you how stupid they are. They took pictures on campus of the no Trespassing science and published them say no trespassing. That means you're not invited unless you're unless you have a student ID. That's right. And so anyway, they just, uh, they've proven they're showing their true colors. And you know, we we we I like to fight, you know that, and use if you don't care about the truth, and you you recklessly just slam a university. Now, I got to imagine that they were probably parents of students and parents of faculty, and and and family of faculty that probably read all of this, and we're probably very upset by it. Of course, of course they were scared to death. And the twelve hundred came back only came back because they either had elderly relatives at home, or they didn't have high speed internet at home so they couldn't do online courses, or they were international students so they really didn't have any choice. And we did everything the governor said we should do. We had no groups larger than ten people, we had social distancing, we had takeout food only, and but the mayor and the city manager of Lynchburg apparently believed some of these lives from the New York Times and attacked us publicly. And I'm still waiting an apology from both of them, and I haven't gotten it yet. Oh, maybe you'll get a lawsuit there too. The thing about lawsuits and this is where things become very dicey, especially if you're a public figure like we are. We're both public figures, because the standard is so high that now you have to devote million. This is not a cheap lawsuit. This will be millions of dollars. I think you have a you have a winnable case here. It is they're wrong on the facts, they had no due diligence, and when told the truth, they refuse to even acknowledge it. You gave them an opportunity to retract and apologize. They refuse that. So they kind of put you in a box and you have no choice. But now it's millions of dollars, depositions, years of litigation before you'll ultimately get a verdict that I think will come down in your favor. I hope so. But but you know what the other side of that, coins Sean they get away with them out No, there gras been the same amount in legal fees. They can't afford it, well they can't, but they can because they probably have insurance policies up to yazoo just for this very bause. But guess guess what happens to their premiums when they have to use this through the roof? So yes, right, so? But no malicious intent is a standard that even the United Kingdom doesn't have. You can It's much easier for somebody to win a libel or slander suit in the United Kingdom because they don't have to prove malicious intent. At least that's what I'm told. I'm not I'm not an English lawyer. But in the United States, the New York Times versus Sullivan, I think it was in the sixties. It is really a license to lie. And if as long as you're writing about a public figure, you can pretty much get away with telling any kind of low you want to tell that that precedent needs to be overturned, and that's our goal. Barry Wise, the op ed editor who wrote the skating piece yesterday, talked about the paper's predetermined narrative native that explicitly promotes progressive causes tolerates bigotry. To do so, Twitter the ultimate editor. Ethics and more of a platform have become those of the paper, and the paper itself has become a kind of performance space, and that they have betrayed their standards and lost sight of its principles. Well, i'd say that that miss Weiss and Jill Abramson might be called up as witnesses to you on your side. I'm sure they will. And that's exactly what we're legending to complaint what you just what you just said, and it's very well drafted complaint. I think it proves, oh, I've read it. It's a beat down. I think it proves they did have malicious intent. And so even if we don't get New York Times versus Sullivan turned over, overturned, and we still I think we still got a malicious intent. And like I said, we're not looking for money. We're getting the money to help COVID victims, and but we want we want to expose them for who they are and what they do. It's what they do to conservative Christian organizations should not be permitted. Jerry Folwell, President of Liberty. He'll join us on Hannity. Tight this is a this is has the potential of being a landmark case, and it needs to be. This is the case. Your case is better than my case, and I thought I had a good case. I still think I have a good case. Live free or die. And it's one hundred eleven days and every single thing is on the line. As promise, we're going to get to our busy phones Pennsylvania, Lisa, next, we'll be watching you very closely in Pennsylvania in one hundred and eleven days. What's going on? How are you? I just want to call about my father. My father always x off from Cuba back in the fifties and came here to the United States, definitely the communist regime of the Del Castro. You love this country. But he never was able to become an American citizen. So in the recent days, we receive two letters in the mail to vote a registration from my dad. The first one came and I opened it up and soil us out. The funny thing is, my dad has been dead for thirty nine years and he's not a He was never an American citizen, and all those years that he's been gone, I've never ever ever received any mailing about him voting. So but the second letter that I received, well actually I never received. I just knew that I was getting it. It's vanished. It never came to me, but I knew that I was getting it because I have this app. So someone must have taken it and might be filling it out and signing his name. Isn't that consider voter fraud? Yeah, that would be considered voter fraud. Yeah, after getting voter registration cards. Look, this is where you know, somebody attacked on Junior because they said, well, he talked about the case of people changing the registration from you know forms. I guess he might have said from Republican a Democrat and have turned out to be a Republican Democrat to Republican. Voter fraud is voter fraud. I don't want Republican voter fraud. I don't want democratic fraud. I know what I want, free and fair elections without by the way, dirty dossier's and Russian disinformation and a deep state that took sides like they did in twenty sixteen. I don't want any of that. Yes, yes, I agree. Anyway, good call Lisa, Um. We gotta be careful of that. Jim is in Florida. Jim, Well, I bet you love the fact that your state has been getting phony information about uh COVID nineteen and all these people that contracted it. When these labs, both state and private, have been saying, oh, we have one hundred percent COVID a positive rating. Yeah, none of that. I know. I mean, I'm sitting there thinking, Wow, now the medium mobs scared the crap out of any everyone they're beating up. Poor Ron de Santis, the one guy that took the one thing seriously that needed to be taken seriously from the get go and is still doing it. And that is he protected the elderly population, and he those with underlying conditions and those with compromised immune systems that he did. That is so true, Sean, that is so true, something that Calmo should go to jail for so terrible, terrible. But over the last nine years, I've lost my sight gradually ninety percent of my sight. I have an eye these hereditary I knew it was coming, And with me losing my sight, I've lost a lot of my freedoms and things that American people take for granted. So when the election comes, if you vote for the Left, you're gonna lose everything. I thought over the years that I was preparing myself because I knew I would get the side disease all right, my father had. It's just hereditary. I thought I prepared myself for these losses, but there is no preparing yourself when things are taking it away. Like car, I can't drive, I can't walk around by myself, I can't do anything by myself. I've been blessed, thank God, with eleven grandchild children, which I cannot see anymore. Well, I'm sorry, by the way. That's tough, isn't it. I mean, that's okay, that's that's okay. And four of them are getting to vote in the first This is their first presidential election out of my eleven grandkids. So and I tell them to watch you a show and make good decision on who you're going to vote for. But I just want to say, you really can't vote for the left. If you want to lose everything and have it taken away, then you got to vote for the left. And it's tough when things are taken away that you've that we all as Americans have taken for granted. You know, I will say this, Um, you're right about us taking things for granted, and everything is now hanging in the balance. This is not a joke. When I say live free or die, live free or America dies in the US and the world on the brink. America the world on the brink because what Joe Biden is now selling is the most radical, extreme, destructive both on every single policy issue he has adopted. He is the most radical, extreme candidate. Frankly, I don't even know if he's fully in charge of anything. He's co opted Bolshevik Berney's full agenda, plagiarized even the words in his agenda. He's adopted AOC's Green New Deal madness. He has now you know, dumped on the police. They become the enemy. And he doesn't like to use the word defund He'd prefer to say reoutlocate. Okay, it's the same thing, because you're taking money away from the police, you're defunding them. They need money. But I'll say this, you know, you know, at first, I wish you the best, and yeah, it really is about our kids. It comes to a point in life where you start thinking differently. And now I'm at that point in my life. My kids, now you know, are older. What kind of America do we leave them? What kind of country do we leave them? And the reality is I would like them to have a country with liberty and freedom and not false promises of socialism, which is you know why. In the book that's out in twenty days, I spend a lot of time talking about the rise of socialism, about the principles that led us to be this great country that abuses power less than any other country in mankind history, and uses the power to advance the human condition, albeit not perfect. We know that. But then this twenty twenty agenda, it is unsustainable and it's incapable of incapable of ever reaching the goals and the money is that they're promising. And I go through a whole chapter on the history of the failure of socialism, and you look at the team that Biden is now surrounding himself with, and you've got, okay, let's assume it's Kamala Harris's VP, you got Pelosi and Schumer, add Biden to it. You got one hundred and twenty five years of elect me and I promise this. They've done nothing, a record one hundred and twenty five combined years of failure and broken promises. Then you add AOC in this Green New Deal madness, because they got they gotta shore up their left plank. I mean, this is this is more evidence of really how weak Joe Biden really thinks his campaign is that you know, he's gonna play identity politics. I'm going to pick somebody from this race and gender to be on my ticket. Okay, I don't. I'm fine with whoever he wants to pick. But why is he going so hard left? Why is he adopting Bernie's views? Because he doesn't think he's gonna get Bernie's voters otherwise, he doesn't want to alienate AOC. Know he feels that. I guess based on some of his language and the racial jungle that he used in predator language that he used in his positions and integration and segregation over the years, and his praise of you know, former klansmen as his mentor, I might come back to bite him with African Americans and Hispanic Americans and other minorities. You know, Donald Trump doesn't have that baggage. He's not the perfect person, but he has fought and kept his word and his promises. And you might not like he fights with the media so much, or you stylistically might not like his fight every day. But I think he's right when he says that if I don't fight, I wouldn't be here. And I think when he's fighting against let's see China like he did yesterday, and he's fighting for better trade deals with China, Japan and Canada and Mexico, he got them, you know, just like he's he fought hard. He's fighting hard against the you know, the worst pandemic since nineteen seventeen eighteen, a travel band ten days after the first identified case. You know, he's fighting to build the border wall. He had. It was an uphill climb the whole time. So you know, my only point is, you know, this is it. This is about the future. This is in America that if these policies are implemented, it makes America the land of the free, home of the brave, unrecognizable. People give in to the false promises of socialism, which is a history of failure. And I outline it and live free or die you can get it in twenty days. Is it would be an unmitigated disaster for future generations. You know, you look at the assault on free speech, You look at what the media mob has become. Look at that scathing New York Times outbed yesterday. You look at the President's promises made and kept. That's a rarity in politics. And then you're gonna have to make a decision do you want Do you really want the high taxes that Biden is talking about. There's a Wall Street Journal piece today the Biden tax height would be severe if Democrats sweep in November. Make sure your lawyer and financial advisors are standing by because all of that will go away, and because you can't afford that which they are promising five trillion. He commits yesterday to the New Green Deal. Okay, where are we getting five trillion dollars to spend on the New Green Deal as a down payment? And the you know, the Medicare for all? How did Obamacare worked out? It's about secure borders versus the United Sanctuary States of America, amnesty, free healthcare, free schools, even if you enter the country illegally. It's about whether or not you want to be energy independent, or if you want to get rid of the lifeblood of the world's economy and crash your own economy. It's about, you know, redistribute or free market capitalism, American entrepreneurialism, American ingenuity versus governments takeover state control of everything with all the everything's going to be secured for you. Good luck with that. It won't work. And I'm going to tell you something. If you want to know about law and order, just look at these these liberal cities that have been run for decades by liberal Democrats. That would be called a preview of coming attractions if in fact the defunders of the police get in charge, those that believe the police of the enemy. You know, you want judicial activism, you want to stack the courts, you want to get rid of the electoral college, you want to turn the constitution on its head. Vote for Biden. Good luck. All I can do is sound the alarm. That's what Lived, Free and Die is all about. To lay out the case to have an informed electorate. Because I can't even do it in any one three hour show, any fifteen hour radio week, any twenty hour radio TV week. I can't do it. It's just too much to absorb. And but in the thoughtfulness and my hope is is that people will read and understand the stakes are that high. It's all on the line. There's never been a bigger choice election in the history of the United States. And I've said it before. I think I've been writing occasions, but it's nothing like this. It doesn't begin to compare. All right, let's say hi to Terry real quick, Terry, how are you Hi? Good? Sean? How are you? I'm good? What's going on? I wanted to run an idea by you about what I consider voter confirmation. We always received a whole bunch of things in the mail for saying where you're registered to vote, or you can receive your ballot in the mail. I wonder why wouldn't we want a voter confirmation in the mail where it would be mandated that once you've voted, you receive some type of potential mail piece that shows who you voted for. This way, every fake vote would have to be also confirmed. For instance, to decease the parent, you would receive a mail item at the house that shows that that person actually voted. Then you'd at least you'd be aware that there's fraudulent voting going on. If you pets are signed up to vote, you would receive a confirmation, and then everyone in the household would finally realize that things that people are voting and pets are voting that don't even exist. So I don't know, it seems so simple to me that we should have a voter confirmation. They can send you everything before the voting, why not after? You know, I think we could create a system where we could have the checks and balances that would work, But I don't see it for this election or probably even the next election. Even it is, it would have to be done perfectly. It would have to have all of those checks and balances for us to even begin to consider it. You know, you bring up some really good ideas, but that's not going to happen in one hundred and eleven days. The idea that they are pushing hard for this tells me that they're desperate, just like Biden. I think his actions are showing a level of desperation he's got. He is now working the hardest at securing his base because he doesn't have it. All. Right, that's gonna wrap things up at today, one hundred and ten days as of tomorrow, till you become the ultimate jury. We have an amazing Hannity tonight nine Eastern Pox News Channel. I hope you'll sell you DVR, Jerry Fallwell. This could be the case that brings the New York Times Inner sanctum to the public view. We will watch it closely. Jerry Fallwell, Junior's suit, we'll have the latest on that. All right, it's a new election. Well, the police now become the enemy, defund the police, adopting Bernie's agenda, AOC's agenda along with Pelosi and of course Schumer. Does Biden need to shore up his basse. We'll go over that with Carl Rove, the polls, the latest Dads, Matt Gates Day, Ruben, Leo Terrell, and much much more, all coming up Ninetiestern Hannity on the Fox News Channel. We'll see you tonight at nine. Back here tomorrow, as always, thank you for being with us.
