All right, glad you're with us eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean, you want to be a part of this extravaganzas seventy one days until you are the ultimate jury. Um, A lot to get to. We begin the RNC convention tonight, right is my show? You see my face? The convention starts. It's a little scary. You would think Hannity's opening the convention. Do you hear that? Hannity said he's open to the convention. Medium mob or just go nuts. The little heads, would you know, spin around in circles and then they projectile, vomit, you know, green puke, because that's who they are. They just they lie. They all lie. The number of lies you know. Lynda and I were talking about this and I'm we're kind of we're just laughing about it that have been told about me in just the last year alone, Like, yeah, a typical day, a friend of mine sends me something. I said, yeah, it's a lie, and I go basically just a typical day of my life. And there is just a rage. There is a psychosis bordering on a breakdown, specifically among the meteor mob that just cannot take it, cannot stand Donald Trump so much. It is every bit of effort, attention, blood, sweat, tears to not have to choke on the words in seventy one or two days, depending what time the election might be called, or if maybe in the seventy nine days, which should concern everybody. We'll get to that later in the program today that we can project Donald J. Trump has been re elected to forty fifth president of the United States. That look, it's all on the line here, all of it there is. This is not hyperbole, and it's funny. Maybe the one thing that we that I agree on with the Democrats and after they're totally pathetic and weak, really low rated convention week because it was dull, beyond anything I've ever seen for a convention. And why It's pretty simple. What they ignore the violence in the country. They just ignore it. Four straight nights of coverage they ignore it completely. And and then of course there's mostly rage and hatred towards Donald Trump, towards and by the way, when they hate Trump, remember they also hate you. They hate all of us. We you know, smelly Trump supporting Walmart shopper, irredeemable deplorables, the fifteen percentage Joe refers to them as so I think, and very little. I mean, they had moments where they talked about their radical agenda. AOC had one full minute. Bolshevic Bernie probably the most honest of everybody. This is the most progetic and progressive, meaning left wing, radical socialist platform in the history of this country. I finally we the party is going crazy like me kind of short speaks in these er or you know. Anyway, it's like Hiccup speaking. It's funny his particular style. Anyway. So I think you're gonna see a lot. I think you will hear. No, we're not a perfect country, but we have the constitution if it's listened to, the rule of law. Didn't happen in twenty sixteen, did it. That allows us always to right wrongs, correct injustices, to become a more perfect union, which is what every American United should strive for. Yeah, the words under God are in the pledge. I think a few people forgot last week. So I think you can see very different American exceptionalism American greatness. I think this is going to be the biggest contrast in terms of conventions that maybe we'll ever see in our lifetime. I know I just can't imagine what we're hearing about what's going to happen at the Republican Convention, that it's going to be any be anything other than that. And anyway, so they have a very specific agenda that's going to be laid out. What is their agenda on jobs? What is their agenda to help business? What is their agenda to increase wages and enact more fair trade deals to protect American jobs? What is you know, how do we bring manufacturing back? What are the advancements in terms of COVID and of course therapeutics and the status of the final phase human trials of vaccines, and energy and dependence and of course ending all reliance on China because we learned how unreliable they are and have been for a long time. The only person that was out there in front on China was a guy by the name Ofdonald Jay Trump. Anyway, how do we deal with the healthcare crisis, in large part caused by the disaster known as Obamacare, Millions losing their doctors, their plans, and you know, all of us paying on average two hundred percent more. How do we get lower prices prescription drugs? President has said over and over and over again. Pre existing conditions will be protected in spite of democratic rhetoric. How do you lower the Well, we've discussed that in detail, healthcare savings, accounts accounts, our friend doctor Josh Umber, healthcare cooperatives. How do we fix our dilapidated, broken down school system in the country. Well, school choice would be a good start. Why do the Democrats and teachers unions resist it? Because they have an unholy alliance Teachers unions guaranteed to give x millions and millions of dollars to Democrats help them stay in power, and they get to perform at a level that is unconscionably, I mean awful, and they're taking away that. You know, what is the latter to success for so many of our kids, especially in big cities all across this country. Yeah, the ones where all the violence that's taking place that they ignored last week too. Yeah. We spend more per capita on education than any other country on the face of the earth, and be up thirty seventh or fortieth in terms of where we stand for the money we spend. What about policing in this country? What about draining the swamp forever? How do we literally clean it out once and for all, and protecting our borders and protecting American workers and innovation, and an America first foreign policy that has served the president well. The theme for the Republican National Convention is going to be honoring the great American story, and it's going to be told by a lot of great Americans. You're gonna have speakers, I think most of them tonight, but you'll you'll have people that are speaking from the world, all the politics. But then you're gonna have others. I have the list in front of me. We can go through a little later in the program. It's gonna be very interesting to hear it from a lot of people. The President, i'm told, will be speaking a little bit in my hour as the convention gets kicked off. We'll carry that live and in total for you, which I think will be interesting. But Monday theme Land of Promise, Tuesday theme Land of Opportunity, Wednesday theme the Land of Heroes, Thursday theme the Land of Greatness. Wow, pretty amazing. So it's interesting, all right. So we've been going through. So the first interview by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris was given to David Muir, ABC and it almost was unwatchable to me. They attempt to like publicly bury the hatchet, you know, as as Kamala has heard previous attacks on him, just a distraction. Well, let's go back in time and remind you of what the distraction is, because they were in the middle of a debate, and she it was a takedown on Joe Biden, a cozying up and praising former clansmen, praising the guy that philibustered the Civil Rights Act of sixty four and then partnering, you know, years later as it relates to stopping integration of schools because he didn't want his own kids going to schools that he defined that we're quote racial jungles. That's what he said. And let's just let let's just first remind you of the what happened in the primary, believe and it is personal. And I was actually very it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this kind country. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to a post bussing and you know, there was a little girl in California, who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me. That little girl was me. Let's go last night. Let's listen to Kamala Harris defending a lot of Joe Biden and listen. So, when you have a running mate who makes a comment like you ain't black, lead some people to say he just doesn't get it, have you been able to speak truth to him about that? Listen when Joe and I talked about the state of Black America. He has a deep sense of awareness and knowledge about racial disparities, in equities and systematic racism. And Joe speaks the words and actually knows how to say the words black lives matter, contrary to what the President of United States, the current President United States does, which is just so hate and division full time and has never spoken those words, and we'll never speak the words black lives matter. You can talk to Joe. He's been outspoken on those issues. And I know where his heart is. I know where his heart is very different, you know. And I'm just watching this whole thing and Biden and Kamala attempting to bury this hatchet last night. Oh, it's a distraction that was said during a debate, he said, I guess to one of the late night hosts, and you know, but she attacked him on okay, supporting segregationist and being opposed to and working with a former clansman on integration of schools. And you know that's that's when she called him out on the debate stage. You know, she also attacked him of being a distraction, you know, from the task at hand, the Democratic debate. It's not a distraction, Kamala. No, that's how you felt. You wrote that line, you memorize that line, and you delivered that line in a pretty fearsful way, tough way, to your credit. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, you know, on Trump's support again, attacks on poor Joe, and the strength on Joe Biden, you know, on the how strengthens Harris to be vice president. I mean it's Oh, I love Joe and I love Kamala. Kamala loves Joe. Joe loves Kamala. That's what I saw last night, not the hard hitting questions that I'm even the simple things that I go on. All Right, they did ask about the mental capacity of Joe Biden. I'm just not buying it. My eyes are not deceiving me. There's something wrong here in terms of he looks tired, frail and weak, and he's having too many moments, if you will, whatever you want to call them, that goes to his ability to do this job. Any saying that he wants to do this for eight years, not just four years. You know, watch me. There was his big answer yesterday. You know, he say he'd absolutely consider for running for a second term if he gets elected, left open the possibility of an eight year presidency. He did regret the U eight black remark. Where's the comment about racial jungle? Retracked that too. I didn't see that part. I'll admit my appetite was getting low by that point for watching this garbage anyway, A lot to get to seventy one days. You're the ultimate jury. By the way, I had to kill Linda the New York Times yesterday to print it. You know, it's a wonderful thing. Yeah, Hannity, Live for or Die. American truth has arrived. Maybe they'll maybe they'll read a couple pages and remember what you have to sell, like a million more copies then a liberal. Trust me, Trust me, it's more like two million. Well that's not that's not that many. That's hyperbole on our part. But anyway, thank you, Live for your die America in the world on the brink forty percent off Amazon dot Com today if you want to get your copy bookstores everywhere, barn Books a million, Barnes and Noble book dot com, Costco's Walmart, or Sean hannitybook dot com. All right, as we roll along Sean Hannity Show eight hundred and nine for one Sean, you want to be a part of the program. There is there is more lies being told about voter voting by mail. How there's no voter fraud. What about the one thousand and eighty eight proven instances that we've been telling you about. What about the nine hundred and forty nine criminal convictions that have taken place? Um you you look at you know the fact that the president offered ten billion dollars and the Democrats went on vacation. But the postal service, they're hor terrific treatment of the postmaster general. All that money was offered, they decided to go home rather than deal with it. It's you know this, it's a conspiracy. Donald Trump is trying to stop voting. If I was at the DNC convention last week, I would have needed a photo ID to get in. Every day. They ignore the Philly fraud case where literally former Democratic Congress stuffing the ballots in Philadelphia, a New Jersey BA mail in ballot scheme that was also exposed that they included council members, one even elected official. West Virginia literally nabs a mail in a mail carrying a mail in ballot scheme. Oh, I thought this didn't happen. Or California voter fraud what they call the skid Row case legal non legal Illinois residence they say, voting in other words, non citizens registering to vote in Illinois, Alabama, absentee fraud. And it goes on and on and on, and they lie and say, oh, it's not a problem America in the world on the brink had to kill the New York Times to print. It was number one in the print edition this week. But what are you gonna do for them? What's fascinating is when you look at the real clear politics average, there's not a bounce at all in terms of Joe Biden. This is going to be a much different week. It starts right at nine pm Eastern when I come up on Hannity on the Fox News channel. This is going to be a convention that is going to have patriotic programming. I'm tall give you every bit of inside information I have. It's going to be Joe Biden's and the Democrats vicious attacks. They will there will be counterattacks. They will be in other words, truth will be told. You know, it was weird I saw Obama said Biden's goals are not that different from Bernie Sanders. He said in an interview. If you'll look at Joe Biden's goals and Bernie sanders goals, they're not that different from a forty thousand foot level. He said. They both want to make sure everyone has healthcare, everyone has a can get a job, pays a living wage. Okay, you see, I've gone through how I don't think Clinton Bill Clinton could get elected president on the positions he held when he ran in nineteen ninety two. And I don't based on, you know, some of Barack Obama's positions. I don't think he could get elected. Would he hold those positions? No, I think he hit his radicalism. I think Hillary hit her radicalism. But you know, remember Bernie Sanders was an outlier. He was an outcast, He was an annoyance in many ways, even an embarrassment to the Democratic Party. And he was tolerated, and you know, barely tolerated at that and accepted because they needed his vote as often as they could get it. It's just a fact. So but now he's the mainstream of this new radical socialist Democratic Party. La Mayor Biden's economic plan is the most progressive we will see in our lifetimes, Eric Garcetti saying that he wouldn't you need to if that you're so, explain how you're going to do it. Joe Biden mentioned the economy four times. Economic was a phrase used four times, mentions five million jobs, but didn't say how he was going to do it. Why not emphasize that we have been talking to a blue in the face about the most progressive and most expansive economic plan that we will see in our I think our lifetimes in America. So anyway, it's I mean, okay in that sense, the more liberal Democrats that are radical socialists that are willing to say it there, but you can see the agenda we heard Bolshevik Berney. Last week, we heard aoc last, we heard Biden last week. We know Kamala Harris. Okay, she introduced and co sponsored Medicare for All in the Senate. She also was a co sponsor of the Radical Green New Deal. So we see the team that he has now surrounded himself with. What's unprecedented about this is I think that both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama would be two people that were smart enough to realize there has to be some outreach to the center of the country. Ignoring rioting all over the country. I don't think is a really good idea. The reason I believe they decided not to bring it up is because, well they're on record now. Biden is denying it last night that he would defund the police. No, no, but he said he would reallocate buns away and Kamala Harris praised the LAPD for the one hundred and fifty million dollars and cuts out there. So you know one thing that Mark Meadows said this weekend, Trump accomplished more in the first one hundred days than Biden has in fifty years. He said forty, but it's really fifty and that's true, said it on Fox News Sunday. But he's barely passed two bills, one of which he's trying to run away from because of the left, which is the reference to the ninety four crime bill that he was behind. That's the predator speech bill that the Mark Meadows is referring to. And you know's what's the other one is? I can't even I don't even know what the other one is? What are the accomplishments? I've gone over chapter and verse the eight years of Barack and Joe, their economic record, their eight years. The facts are in. You can't dispute them. Reality is what it is. And you know, well, we were reinherited the worst economy ever. Okay, well it's the worst recovery since the forties and you know, literally lowest labor participation rate, thirteen million more Americans on food stamps. Is that an accomplishment? You know? I would say getting jobs and creating jobs, that's the accomplishment because now everybody's invested in the American dream with hope and their own life and their own destiny and their own skills and their own talents. You know. So, uh, I mean, there's there's true you see little flashes of Wow, they can't get away from themselves. President even saying, yeah, if Biden's elect, that China will own this country. Oh, we already saw of the relationship with China and the Bidens. How did zero experience hunter get that one billion dollars Bank of China deal? You know, I would think Goldman Sacks and Deutsche Bank and any any of the big financial houses would be better candidates to partner with the Bank of China. You know, Biden said, Remember she was ignorant of his record in the debate attack, Remember he said that they're in the first debate, when she just she memorized that line. She looked him dead in the eye, he turned away. She delivered the line that was written and prepared and memorized, and now they're best friends. It's a little disingenuous to me. Joe Biden was asked by Robin Roberts on his well you ain't black comment, and his answered why I shouldn't have said it. I think it's far more incendiary the praise of the guy that's filibustered the Civil Rights Act to sixty four or working with the former klansman who filibustered the Civil Rights Act. It was against the Voting Rights Act to work on stopping integration of schools because he didn't want his kids going to school in a racial jungle his words. By the way, he's now again been accused of plagiarizing a Canadian politician, this time not Neil Kinnock, remember the one there anyway? A CBC news you know in Canada pointed out similar on Twitter. Not Biden's first brush with plagia plagiarism. He also did it with Robert Kennedy and British Party leader, labor leader Near Kinnock And why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? And Biden just did a word for word and kept going through the entire list. Now they're saying the exact same thing when he gave us teleprompter speech on Thursday night. Love is more powerful than hate, Hope is more powerful than fear, Light is more powerful than the dark. Okay, what he said? The Canadian politician Jack Layton is his name. My friends, Love is better than anger, Hope is better than fear, Optimism better than despair. I'll let you decide. Biden pledging no new taxes for anyone making under four hundred thousand dollars. It's not possible. Let me tell you what they're not telling you there, you know businesses, Yeah, that would be including them. Do I believe this number? Nope, because they've were previously said differently. And when they implement and they spend the trillions on the New Green Deal and whatever new version of Obama Biden Care or Medicare for All comes to fruition, he's pledging trillions to the New Green Deal, trillions to more healthcare. Well, he's the one, along with Barack Obama, responsible for millions losing their doctors, losing their plans, millions of Americans, and everybody not saving a penny, not on average twenty five hundred dollars per family per year, but no literally losing you know, now paying two hundred percent more on average, almost forty percent of this country thanks to Biden Obamacare, they have one option one Biden Obama Care health exchange option. Wow. I thought we're gonna have so much choice. Well we know that Kamalis. He doesn't want any choice in healthcare. You can't have your own private plan, you know. He just dismisses his attacks on his mental fits. Just watch me. Well, the problem is we have been watching and we have been listening. He quoted Mao to Robin Roberts, and she refused to push back or on the question. I'm not sure why. It's a second time in two months Biden used a quote made by made famous by chairman Mao. And you know, when when it came to women calling it someone an old expression, he said, okay, but it doesn't seem like that to me. You know this bill O'Reilly, I think it in his newsletter. Somebody said it to me on his website, you know, it was asked about it, and he said, yeah, okay, they didn't. The questions were broad, no specifics, no follow ups. Of course, they didn't get the Donald Trump treatment. You know, well, why did you call the president xenophobic ten days after the first identified case at coronavirus? Great questions? Why didn't you mention the growing street violence in your nomination speech? One? How do you ignore that? You know, was there systemic racism during your administration? What'd you do to address it? I'd add to that, why didn't you do criminal justice reform? I'd add to that, why didn't you do police reforms after Ferguson in Baltimore or Cambridge or any of these other high profile incidents. Why didn't you do it? You know, how is it you had so many millions more Americans on food stamps and in poverty that's the result. How is it the worst recovery since the forties? Why did you give the mullahs an Iran the chant Death to America one hundred and fifty billion in cash and other currencies and you got nothing for it? What did you get for that? What did you get in exchange for that? While the plane takes off, drops the drops the cash on the tarmac, plane leaves, and they're back to chanting Death to America? You know, now roll out blackouts all over the state of California. How's that New Green Deal working out there? With those policies? I mean, okay, Kamala Harris, he said, you believe those that accused both Bret Havana on Joe Biden. How can you run with somebody that you believe is guilty of that? Or how can you believe somebody has changed or you know changed and you know his heart when you you literally pounded on him during the primary debate about his associations with the former clansmen and praise of the former clansmen, and then working with the former clansmen to stop the school integration. None of these questions are asked ever, Oh what a shocker, Jeff Flake joining former GOP members part of the Democratic resistance. All these so funny. For all these years, I've just pondered and wondered, how many years have you heard me express my just utter frustration with the Republican Party have becoming weak and timid and spineless, lacking a backbone and visionless, disgusting, the all the all the phony votes show votes to repeal and replace Obamacare. Then when they get their chance, oh never mind, so pathetic. So I mean, now, just those are the ones now jumping shipping and going with the pro Biden Kamala Harris ticket. Crazy but you know, predictable. What are they gonna do? It's funny because everything that Joe says you'll do on COVID, guess what Donald Trump already did. It was a great takedown by um Mike Pence. I thought some interview I forgot where he was pretty pretty amazing takedown that he had. But he you know, probably what about taxing the wealth. What is this redistribution? What is the danger of that. Well, there's somebody that was financially independence is I'm a pretty young kid and struggled. You know. I remember when I had two hundred bucks in the bank, old Stone Bank Bank, Warren, Rhode Island. That's where I kept my money, two hundred bucks. That was my safety net, my own safety net, you know, paying rent and you know, just doing any job I can get my hands on. But also worked for since I was twelve, in restaurants, every job imaginable, saved the money so I could go to college, ran out of money, went back to work. Then I went back to college again. Did that three separate times. Anyway, So well, I'd never got I'd never worked for any restaurant owner that didn't have money to invest and buy the restaurant. I never I always say, I never got a job from a poor person. This rich versus poor, this old versus young, you know, black versus white. This is the playbook. I've chronicled the history of this so many times over the years, and obviously the mob of the media, they just don't really care at all. Anyway, the President went on a tear about mail in ballots. And you know, if he says, if I don't fight back strong, I wouldn't be sitting here. He's right about all of that. Americans continue to flee states with higher taxes. It was in the epic times. You know, states like New York, Illinois, California or bleeding residents. There's bleeding. Evidence is clear, according to AFFLAC ALC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, that competitive tax rates, thoughtful regulation, responsible spending lead to more opportunities for more Americans. Twenty nineteen, Utah ranked number one for economic outlook, followed by Wyoming, Idaho, Indiana, North Carolina. According to you know, by the way, some of the problem. One of the lowest tax states is Florida. That's the better infrastructure than theyave in New York. I'll tell you that. Why are people because they're sick of it. My only fear is liberal New Yorkers and Californians and people from New Jersey and Illinois and Oregon and Washington State they're gonna take their they're gonna take their liberal policies with them. That would be a bad idea because now they'll ruin the New States they're going to. I don't that that prospect of that doesn't really you know, it's not really appealing to me. Glad you Eethers, Thank you Scott Channa, Live free or die, America in the world on the brink, and we're just seventy one days away from what is the ultimate jury, and that will be you, the American people. And by the way, forty off on Amazon. I love saying that, you know why, because I'm a smelly Walmart shopper. They have it on sale too, and Costcos and Target and books a million, and you know, and that votes for Donald Trump. But look, that's why you have elections, as long as they don't try to steal it. Well, there's been plenty of cheating. We've gone through one thousand, however, many convictions for election fraud and by the way, a lot of it in recent years. So anyway, I'd like to know two things. One, I'd like to see Joe Biden and the president debate once before early voting in sixteen states. That is now scheduled to occur before the first debate on September the twenty ninth. And I'd also like to see and have resolved everything that happened in twenty sixteen in terms of let's see, oh deep state actors come and company and others, so many others, McCabe and those people that were involved in number one purposefully protecting Hillary Clinton number two using a dirty Russian bought and paid for dossier by one candidate in spite of all the warnings that they knew better to take away the rights of one American citizen, Carter Page, the constitutional rights at his civil liberties and also what else do they do? They literally spied on a presidential candidate in the media mob doesn't care. I think we should know what happened in twenty six team before we actually pull the lever in twenty seventeen or whatever way you're voting. We have the Hannity dot com electoral map that tells you how to register, when does early voting starts, how do you do absentee voting? All of that is on there and it's interactive anyway, Carter Page, I had a chance to do a deep dive into his book this weekend. It's called Abuse and Power. How an innocent American was framed in an attempted coup against the president of the United States, and you know, we had the testimony what Rod Rosenstein, We had the testimony of Sally Yates. Now we have the indictment of Kleinsmith and both Rod Rosenstein and Sally Yates, who was speaking at the Democratic Convention. Fascinating, right. I guess she get rewarded for signing FISA warrants with unverifiable information as the bulk of information and take away people's rights to spy on a president. At that point, Carter Page now gives his account. He worked for the CIA, He's an American patriot. The intelligence community knew all about it. We learned over the weekend. The double standard that exists as it relates to the way the deep state treated Hillary Clinton and what they believed to be outside interference from Russia and others. Well, if they would have looked a little bit more deeply, they would have found because they founded in January twenty seventeen that the subsource for Christopher Steele's dirty dossier, well even the New York Times acknowledges was likely Russian disinformation from the beginning. But they treated her possible alliances with foreign countries very, very differently. Here's some of the things just to take you down memory lane. Them will invite Carter Page in to explain his horrific or deal that he's been through. His book, by the way, is on Amazon dot com, Abuse and Power. How an innocent American was framed in an attempted coup against the president. But listen to what the likes Ofcom and others were saying, where does carter Page go the target of these FISA larrants and surveillance? Where does he go to get his reputation by It's a great question. Carter Page was treated unfairly, most significantly by his name being made public. He's a United States citizen and it never should have been made public, and that's an outrage. Does your report vindicate mister Coomy. It doesn't vindicate anyone at the guy who touched this, including the leadership. The IG says, you should feel no vindication. Well, maybe it turns upon how we understand the word little confidence that the FISA process was followed and that the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by DJ and the FBI. We identified significant inaccuracies and omissions in each of the four applications, seven in the first application, and a total of seventeen by the final renewal application, seventeen significant errors in the fives of process, and you say that it was handled in a thoughtful and appropriate way. Yeah, he's right. I was wrong. Seventeen things that either should have been in the applications or at least discussed and characterized differently. It was not acceptable. And so he's right, I was wrong. But you make it sound like you're a bystander, and I witness you were the director of the FBI. Well, a lot of this was going on, sir, sure, I'm responsible for That's why I'm telling you I was wrong. I was overconfident as director in our procedures. In August of twenty sixteen, just two weeks into the investigation, the CIA tells the FBI that it actually has a relationship with Carter Page, that when he has these meetings with the Russians, he's actually goes back and he tells the CIA about it. But you never tell the FIS a court that And in fact, in twenty seventeen, an FBI lawyer doctors a document the CIA said, oh, Carter Page, he's a source, and he puts in the application he's not a source. As director you are responsible for this. I was responsible for this. Can you make it sound like it's not much. It's very important. It's very source to not a source as a big Remember how we got here. If you were still there and this came out and it turned out it happened on your watch, would you resign No? I don't think so. Would you agree that the FISA court was also given false information by the FBI? I think that's fair. The FBI should have included or at least pushed to the lawyers so they could make a decision information that you just said. I think. Harrowitz concludes three separate teams made significant errors in four separate FISA applications on one of the FBI's most significant case. Of these irregularities, these misstatements, these omissions were not satisfactorily explained, and I think that leaves open the possibility to infer that faith FBI is an honest a political organization. Honest a political organization. The ninety nine percent are, but not mister Higher Honor himself, James Comey. He was specifically warned repeatedly that you cannot trust this importation. They omitted that Hillary paid for it. They used the bulk of what was unverified Russian propaganda and misinformation. Hillary Clinton paid for it, as the only means even Yates and McCabe and others admit, without that dirty Russian disinformation dossier paid for by Hillary, there is no FISA spying warrant on Carter Page to spy on candidate Trump, transition Team Trump, and then of course President Trump deep into his presidency. Carter Page's new book, as I mentioned Abuse and Power, how an innocent American was framed in an attempted coup against the president. Well, I think that interview is very hard hitting by Chris Wallace, and I think but his lack of daisical answers. Well, I took responsive to take responsibility. How was your life like for that year of being spied on? Carter Well, Sean, I think in summary, I mean the bottom line, and I think for the reasons you've described, I was falsely accused, right, and I was accused of being a trader. Unfortunately, these people that you're referring to, they're the real traders. You know, You're You're absolutely right. I've I've been greatly fortunate to work with incredible people in the FBI and the CIA over over many, many years. But you know, again the ninety nine percent are great patriotic Americans, but unfortunately, there are some serious problems in key places within those strategic organizations of the US intelligence community. And so, I mean, unfortunately there there was traitorous activities that was that we're committed and so I think, you know, bottom line, what was done to me should should never be allowed to occur, or we're all going to be at risk, you know. I mean, these people they abused their oath, all right, they and they abuse you knows, as you correctly said, they they abused our constitution, right, and that's that's why I'm I'm taking these important steps to start fighting back on behalf of all freedom loving Americans. Now, let's talk about some more of the details. You describe how you were spied on, why it could happen to any American citizen. Uh, And we now that they were told directly by the intelligence agencies that you're not the person that is being described as a traitor um you. In other words, there was no reason to ever spy on you ever, But it was a backdoor into all things Trump campaign transition and then presidency. That that is the the horror in all of this, because you're right, this is an attempted coup. Yeah, I mean, it's just it's just made a complete mockery of our justice system. And I think, you know, along the lines of what you have been on the front lines uncovering in your most recently in your book, Lived for Your you know, you've got an incredible chapter on this as well. And unfortunately, there's just a lack of care for the truth. And I thought, you know, unfortunately we saw that within the Justice Department and within the FBI and so and I think as the key element is that it's really harming countless innocent people, not exactly as you're saying, Sean, not just myself, but so many Trump supporters during the during the Trump campaign, during the transition period, and throughout the early years of the Trump administration. And I think it's hard to think of anyone who was anywhere near as heavily damaged as none other than President Trump himself, because he's really born the brunt of this amidst a lot of other lives by the mainstream media and their colleagues in the Democrat Party. Well, I mean, that's that's the point. If this can happen, and it happens again. And then those that abuse this power, those that were corrupt or not held accountable, why would they ever stop? But you know now you also go into detail about exhaustive, transparent cooperation with investigators and the Justice Department. More importantly, the people whose names we often mentioned, now we know forged evidence against you. Well, I think it's it's really the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately, Chon, because I have really been uh you know that that individual, Kevin Kleinsmith, who who just was that charging document was unveiled the day after you know, you had you had breaking news a couple of Thursday nights ago, and sure enough with the with the Attorney General, and then the next day we saw the charge filed in the disrecord in the District of Columbia, and that showed severe wrongdoing. But unfortunately, back in April twenty seventeen, my lawyer actually had a number of conversations with Kevin Kleinsmith, and I think it goes beyond lne and it put lives at risk and for reasons and specific threats I was facing at the time, we informed mister Kleinsmith as well as the counterintelligence agents that I had been in touch with about these national security threats, and unfortunately, in addition to all the dishonesty, they did nothing to advance national security and personal security. So to me, that's one of the biggest tragedies. And as you're saying, this can never happen again. All right now, our final moments coming up. The book is called Abuse and Power. How an innocent American was framed in an attempted coup against the President of the United States. You imagine if this was your life. You're illegally spied on for an entire year, your civil rights ignored, your constitutional rights ripped away from you, after you put your life at risk of broad for many years to work with our intelligence community well to keep Americans safe. Is a book, Abuse and Power, How an innocent American was framed in an attempted coup against the President. Have you ever spoken to the President? Never? In my life? Shot? Wow? Now who best knew you? At? Say that three letter agency you work for during the Bush administration? Quite high up? And how many years of your life did you do this? Quite a long time. In the Inspector General report, they say two thousand and eight to twenty thirteen, but it definitely extended far beyond that in different capacities. They were talking about one element of my service, but I certainly helped in other ways as well previously. Well, thank you for your service. The book is it's like a spy novel, except it's all true. How can an American citizen, a patriot be spied on for a year based on Russian lies and the media ignores it anyway? It's called abuse and power. How an innocent American was framed in an attempt at coup against the President United States? Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com and now in bookstores all around the country. Carter Page, thank you for being with us. This story needs to be studied so it can never happen again. Thank you, sir, Thank you for everything. Sean. All right, and if you want, we have a link. And if you if you like my book, get a copy of Carter Pages book. You're gonna read this and be afraid for your country. That's how serious it is. Amazon dot com. All right. When we come back, we'll check in with Steve Scalise. He is going to be speaking at the RNC tonight. Charlie kirkh also is going to check in James O'Keefe battling the state of Oregon, the socialist utopia. We'll get to that much more as we continue. It is r NC Night and our big plans we will announce first thing tomorrow when we come on this program, and they're big. That's all I can say. Hannity dot Com all electoral map information as well straight ahead. There are many inaccuracies about my actions that I wish to again correct. First, I did not act the removal of blue collection boxes or the removal of mail processing equipment. Second, I did not direct the cutback on hours at any of our post offices. And finally, I did not direct the elimination or any cutback in overtime. I did, however, suspend these practices to remove any misperceptions about our commitment to delivering the nation's election mail. Any further assertions by the media or elected officials is furthering a false narrative to the American people. I'm tempted to ask, after two hundred and forty years of patriotic service delivering the mail, how can one person screw this up in just a few weeks. Now, I understand you bring private sector expertise. I guess we couldn't find a government worker who could screw it up this fast. It would take them a while. The President is running this post office like a business, Like he said, he's running it into the ground, as he has declared bankruptcy a few times on his own businesses. In an effort to apply the facts, the real facts, not the alternative facts, based on what you have actually done, one can only reach as a fact finder, we can only reach two conclusions. One either, through gross incompetence, you have ended the two hundred and forty year history of delivering the mail reliably on time. Or the second conclusion that we could gather is that you're doing this on purpose and that you're deliberately dismantling this once proud tradition. The gentleman's time has expired. The gentleman may answer his question. My last question is this, thank you. What the heck are you doing? Campaign contributions are illegal? So all your campaign I'm not fully aware of what I'm fully aware of legal campaign contributions or what if you resent the assertion? So what are you accusing me of? Well, I'm asking a question. Do your mail delays fit Trump's campaign goal of hurting the post Office has stated in his tweets, are your male nolais implicit? Can these types of questions I'm here. I'm here to represent the postal service. Has nothing to do with all my actions have to do with improvements of postal service made. This might the only one in this room that understands that we have a ten billion dollars a year loss? Right am I? The only will you give this committee your communications with Mark Meadows, with Treasury Secretary of manuche, Mister de Joy is your backup plan to be pardoned like Roger Stone? God hitiful? You have two seconds stands for the question. I have no comments on that. Just despicable, disgusting, but typical, isn't it. We saw that as a Postmaster general going before just nothing but but utter hostility. The issue has taken on urgency of mail in ballots by the Democrats. They must not have a lot of confidence in the ability of their ever frail and we candidate Joe Biden running on the most radical agenda of any major party candidate in the history of the country. If now they're withholding COVID relief moneies because of issues involving well, we need mail in ballots. Unless we get mail, Oh okay, so people will starve and businesses will go under. But we're going to hold out for that in open borders, because that's exactly what they've done. They went back, they went home, they went on vacation. After rejecting the presidents offered increase spending for the postal service by ten billion dollars by the way, their annual deficit, and then the President having to act to help out Americans still suffering because of cod residual COVID economic impacts in areas with unemployment benefits that he had to do on his own through executive order. This is this is now their next conspiracy theory. You can hear it. The postal servis did it? You want to be Roger Stone. It's not just it is such a disservice. What they will do. They will say anything, the same people lying about Russia, Russia, Russia, the people that claiming they cared about Russian interference but never uttered a single word about the bought and paid for dirty Russian docier that Hillary paid for likely Russian disinformation from the get go. They will warn before the first fies the application was even signed. Don't trust it, it's not verified. Turns out it's unverifiable, completely bunk bogus, and Hillary paid for it. They didn't tell the judge that either. And lastly, Christopher still had a huge anti Trump political agenda. They don't care about that. They say they care about obstruction. They didn't care about Hillary subpoena at emails being deleted, hard drives with bleach pit hammers to devices. They say they care about quids and pros and quoes, but not Joe Biden on tape leveraging a billion taxpayer dollars and saying to Ukraine, you're not getting a billion dollars unless shafire the prosecutor who's investigating my son, who's making millions with zero experience in oil, gas, energy and Ukraine. Never mind the one billion dollar deal with the Bank of China that became a one point five billion dollar deal. They lie, They spew hatred, conspiracy theories, smears, slander, and a level of viciousness and character assassination that is unprecedented. It's all about power. That's what's on the ballot in seventy one days. They want power. The way they're trying to get it is offering you everything for free. You got free education pre K through college, student owned forgiveness, free guaranteed government job at a guaranteed government wage, with guaranteed government vacations, and guaranteed government healthy food and guaranteed government healthcare. How did how many millions lost their doctors? Millions lost their plans and we're all paying about two hundred percent more. You're gonna trust them this time, you know, guaranteed retirement. Yeah, but they literally the lockbox for Social Security was rated. They robbed it. It's empty. They squandered that money all for power. This is what's at stake in seventy one days. Joining us now, Steve Scalisi's the House Republican whip. By the way, he would be one of the speakers tonight at the RNCs. They kick off tonight as my show begins on TV on Hannity on Fox nine Eastern Congressman, good to have you back. Thank you for being with us, Sean, always great to be with you. Okay, let's start with this. Let's first start with the treatment of the United States Postmaster General. Just disgraceful, Sean. I mean, it's a repeat of the Attorney General bar hearing where they literally just slander him, throw false innuendos out there, fake accusations like they always do, and then as soon as he's trying to respond and defend his good name, they reclaim our time and I'm not going to let you talk. And you know what cowards. What a coward to literally sit there and lie about a person to their face, and then you invited him, by the way, and then when it's an opportunity for them to just defend themselves and point out that these Democrats are lying, they pull it back and they say, no, you can't talk. I won't let you talk. Well, you know, they must have been the bullies that tried to beat up on kids in school. I mean, it's disgraceful. It's who they are. They will do anything and burn down the foundations of our country to get power. In November, everybody ought to be paying attention to this. Anybody who's not sure they're going to vote, by the way, the post Master General made it very clear they're gonna be able to have the election take place and deliver ballots like they always have. They've got more than enough money to go through the middle of next year if they don't get another dime. So this idea that you need to throw twenty five more billion dollars at them. They literally have a line of credit of ten billion dollars that they can't even access because they have too much money in the bank. They have over fifteen billion dollars in the bank. Their businesses that are suffering right now, about to close down, families struggling right now. We should have been there Saturday to help those families and those small businesses. But that's not who Pelosi cares about. She didn't give them a dime. She wants to try to create a scam to where there's not one because their candidate has no agenda. Joe Biden literally last week couldn't tell you what he stands for the forty seven years. By the way, he's not done any of the things that he's going to say he's going to do. What President Trump has done in just forty seven months is phenomenal at rebuilding the greatest economy we've seen. We're in the middle of COVID. He's working, by the way right now to get a vaccine approved in a revolutionary pace that we haven't seen before. And then we're going to rebuild the economy again. And that's the case. We have. The way we are rebuilding the economy again, the economy is showing signs of growth that nobody anticipated. Yeah, and they're trying to talk that down too. They you know, they're trying to keep school systems shut, they're trying to close in in a lot of these states. They will not stand up, shawn to the lawlessness, the riots that are going on in many cities where they've been defunding police. Joe Biden literally's trying to Congressman, you're not listening to your colleague, Jerry Nadler. It's a myth. Yeah, they didn't even mention it last week. They didn't mention it, and for four straight days they lie and just act like because it's all happening in their cities that have been run by liberal Democrats for decades, they control all of this. Where you've had police brutality, even where you've had dirty cops. You know, go look at show band's record. By the way, wasn't the first time that he was a dirty cop, but who at him off? It was Democrats that led him off. They didn't care about it back then. But if you look at which President Trump is doing. He stands with law enforcement. He's been creating opportunities for everybody. We saw the lowest unemployment in the history of our country for African Americans and Hispanics under President Trump. And who better to bring that back again, to rebuild that, to recreate and rebuild our middle class that evaporated under Joe Biden. Go look at where our jobs were going when Joe Biden was in the White House with Barack Obama. They were going to countries like China, who he coddled. Look at what Russia was doing when Russia interfered with our election. Joe Biden literally with a straight face last Thursday night, said he won't let Russia interfere with our elections. Russia interfered with our elections when Joe Biden was in the White House with Barack Obama. They let it happen. Maybe because they've got such close ties to Russia, to China. They let Iran get a nuclear weapon. President Trump just got a deal that he helped negotiate just a few days ago where the United Arab Ema to Muslim country the first time in twenty five years, signed a deal to have relations with Israel, standing with our friends, creating great results and bringing us closer to the ability to have peace in the Middle East than we've ever had before because other Muslim nations, by the way, that want to be a part of this peace agreement that President Trump helped negotiated. So just because the press in the mainstream media doesn't cover it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. President's Trump's delivering, you know, and you've talked about this a lot. He ran on very specific things. He's delivering on those things for those forgotten men and women that Washington left behind, that people like Jerry Nadler wouldn't even care about. He would trample over those people, and he is trying to trample over those people hold onto power. It's disgusting. People need to be aware of what's going on, and they need to vote in November and they'll be able to vote just once, but they'll be able to vote. We've chronicled this. They have found one eighty eight proven instances of voter fraud. That is a lot of voter fraud. Ninety nine criminal convictions just to give you the quick list here, you know, the Philadelphia fraud case where Democratic congressman stuffing ballots. New Jersey was involved in a mail in ballot scheme that was exposed another recent cases including a city council member and a city councilman elect. They had now been charged with fraud. There, West Virginia mail carrier nabbed in a mail in ballot scheme calif On and on Sean look it does. This was a state rep in Louisiana. We sent our elections commissioner to jail for stealing votes. He went to jail. We finally cleaned up the office and moved it into the Secretary of State so you couldn't just have a political hack running it in a way where the Democrats could steal elections. And it was a Democrat, by the way, I know the media would never want to report that he was a Democrat and he went to jail as the commissioner of elections. I mean it's I can show you cases of voting fraud if you allow it to happen. It can happen. If you mail ballots, by the way, to every single person on a voting role, you probably a fifteen percent of people who just move around and change addresses ballots literally millions of ballots will just be sitting around and I'm sure you know nobody go look at California three weeks after the election. They were still counting ballots until six Democrats flipped seats from Republican a Democrat because they counted ballots for weeks after the election. Steve Skalis, thanks for being with us. Eight hundred and nine four one. Shawn is a toll free telephone number. Don't forget Amazon dot com Live Free or Die if you haven't gotten your copy, it is on sale forty percent off again today Costco's Walmart Target Books a million Barnes and Noble, all heavily discounted, which we're very happy about. And again had to be horrible for The New York Times this Sunday to print yet again Hannity number one New York Times bestseller. Thank you for making that happen, but more importantly, let's win. In seventy one days, Sean Hannity's new book is now available, Freer Die in stores and online everywhere, and Live Freer Die in number one way. Actually, I got the paper from a friend because I just refuse to buy the New York Times. I just refuse it because it had a Live, Free or Die. It was number one. Did you see it, Linda, by any chance? Or you did you buy it? Please tell me how much is the New York Times now four dollars on a Sunday? I got a copy. Yeah, I had a friend, so you didn't pay for it. I try not to give my money to socialists. Yeah, I try not to give my money to companies that lie. The only problem is they couldn't lie here, No, they can't. You have to win by an overwhelming margin, like of a thousand if you're a conservative, especially a Hannity conservative that's hated by The New York Times. By the way, the feeling is mutual anyway, thank you for making that happen eight hundred and nine for one Sean. If you want to be a part of the program, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour, as we have been going over it is day one of the Republican National Convention. We've gone over what the themes are, what the plans for a second term are, and probably what is so uniquely different besides both those things. What are you going to do? Except if you're a Democrat hate Donald Trump? What else are you going to do? Hay them more. Okay, what are your plans. Well, we're gonna hide it, but we've really stated it, which is Bolshevik Bernie's economic plan, radical socialism now mainstream in this new extreme radical democratic Socialist Party. Then we're going to spend trillions on the Green New Deal, and then we're gonna have If you think Bolshevik Bernie is the economics are as bad, then you've got the vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris is now to the left of Bernie in terms of real voting, the most radical left senator in Washington, DC as of now and all last year for example. Then got of course, she says by executive feat we'll get rid of guns. And she's the one that said shouldn't have private health insurance even as an option executive order to get rid of guns, co sponsor of the New Green Deal madness, co sponsor of Medicare for All madness, and then top it off with Beto Boza O'Rourke as the guns are hell, yeah, we're coming for Oh yeah, we're coming for your AK forty sevens, and we're coming for this weapon. I guess whatever they decide weapon, I think there's gonna be a little slippery slope there, I think so. So on top of the agenda which I went over earlier today, the RNC theme is honoring the great American story as the land of promise, the land of opportunity, the land of heroes, and the land of greatness. There wasn't a lot of talk about American goodness, greatness, exceptionalism at all. And by the way, I doubt they'll be ignoring the rioting that's been going on all over the country, especially in cities run by decade for liberal Democrats by liberal Democrats. Anyway, let's go to this ridiculous interview. He discussed earlier today how Joe Biden would shut down the country. Well, he's a genius. The funniest thing is Mike Pence just destroyed him when he said, yeah, he said he's going to do this, this, this, this, this, and this year. We did all of that, plus the president's travel band after the first ten days, the first identified coronavirus came into this country ten days later, then subsequent travel bands, and then of course the first quarantine. What fifty sixty years then Joe's saying he plans on serving eight years as president. We will that bring him to eighty six or seven. Well, okay, he really looks strong now, doesn't he? It doesn't look weak and frail. My eyes are deceiving me, just like the violence in big liberal cities. Jerry Nadler says they're a myth. And then Biden said, oh, I shouldn't have said that. Ei EU ain't black thing. Remark What about his comments about he didn't want his kids with it in an inner graded schools that would become a racial jungle. Hm? Well what about Kamala Harris defending Biden's comment. Let's go back to the tape from yesterday. What are the questions we asked, would you shut down the country again if there's a second wave and if the scientist said that's what we need to do. If you're sworn in come January and we have coronavirus and the flu combining, which many scientists have said is a real possibility, would you be prepared to shut this country down again? I would be prepared to do what ever it takes to save lives, because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus. That is the fundamental flaw of this administration's thinking to begin with. In order to keep the country running and moving and the economy growing and people employed. You have to fix the virus. You have to deal with the virus. So if the scientists say shut it down, I would shut it down. I would listen to the scientist. Let's put the attaxis side. Then, the American people, who remember Ronald Reagan was seventy seven when he left office, he would be seventy eight entering office. And you have said yourself that you are a transition candidate. Does that mean a one term president? What does that? No, it doesn't mean. So you're leaving open the possibility you'll serve eight years if people and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the African American community. We're the eighth largest black population in America. I worked on the East Side, six blocks from here, which is virtually all African American. I had a good job with a well known law firm, and I quit and became a public defender. But here's the point. I shouldn't have said that, But I was trying to make the point that this is a man who spent his entire career denigrating African Americans. But the truth is, there's a fundamental difference between Donald Trump and me on the issue of race across the board. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna try to divide people. It's all about bringing people together. So when you have a running mate who makes a comment like you ain't black, lead some people to say he just doesn't get it, have you been able to speak truth to him about that? Listen when Joe and I talked about the state of Black America. He has a deep sense of awareness and knowledge about racial disparities, inequities, and systematic racism. And Joe speaks the words and actually knows how to say the words black lives matter, contrary to what the President United States, the current President United States does, which is just so hate and division full time and has never spoken those words and will never speak the words black lives matter. You can talk to Joe. He has been outspoken on those issues and I know where his heart is. All right, joining us now to discuss And by the way, you've got to give a lot of credit to our friend Charlie Kirk. He's the founder, he's the president of a Turning Point USA. It's the largest, fastest growing conservative student organization advocating for free speech on college and even high school campuses. He had a number one bestseller in New York Times out fairly recently, the Maga Doctrine. He will be one of the speakers tonight at the RNC and certain that the president is gonna win reelection. I always you know, I'm irish, you know, I'm just We're at two minute drill. We're down by six. You know, we got your ball at your own twenty no timeouts. You got to march down eighty yards, marched down the field day yards crossed the plane kicked the extra point. But I'm listening to this. Wow, have a very different Kamala Harris on ABC than the one that kicked the living crap out of Joe Biden for being friends with Oh let's see the guy that philibustered the Civil Rights Act and joined with Joe Biden to stop integration to prevent his own kids from going to schools that will be racial jungles Joe Biden's word, How are you, Charlie. I'm doing great, Thank you, Sean and the congratulations on the success of your book. And it's a big week this week, and I think the President's going to do quite well, in contrast to the mess of a Democrat convention last week, honor to be with you, Well, let's start with Kamala and the double standard, because I mean, oh, now that I'm a vice president, of course, I don't care what you said and your actions and the people you praised that were virulent racist former clans members, right exactly. I mean, look, Senator Harris was the number one critic of Joe Biden last summer. I mean, the kind of the top moment of her presidential campaign was when she turned to Joe Biden and she said that little girl was me, and she was trying to create an entire presidential campaign around convincing the entire Democrat primary population, a voting population, that Joe Biden was kind of a racist sympathizer. And now she's trying to make the argument that Joe Biden is the exact opposite of that. And when she has challenged she was challenging a recent interview, she said, oh, that was just a debate. So I guess for her, she can just say whatever she wants and ever she wants to. It's nothing but transactional politics. And look, it's an incredible double sided double standard and double standard, a double side of nature of this, as you said. And I think that in a lot of different ways, it doesn't really motivate the Democrat base because she is not well liked amongst base voters at all, and it certainly doesn't win over swing voters in the Midwest that Democrats are struggling tremendously with. So we watched last week, what did we see? They ignored that violence and riots and looting and mayhem and anarchy is all over, you know, cities like New York and Chicago and Portland and Seattle and LA and San Francisco. They ignored that part. They tried to mostly cover their agenda. Bolshevic, Bernie was honest, AOC was honest, and even to a certain extent, Biden was honest because he brought them all in their part of his A team. So but and then, of course no talk of American great is exceptionalism? Is that going to be the most glaring difference this week versus last, No doubt, Sean, this will be a celebration of America this week and last week it just felt like a very depressing indictment of the greatest country of it to exist in the history of the world. I think Americans have already been kind of maxed out of how they they just maxed out of the negativity. I mean, it's been a tough six or seven months in our country, and I think the Republicans and President Trump have an amazing opportunity to communicate the exceptionalism and the greatness that we have in this country. And so I also think it's really interesting what you mentioned, because the Democrats are stumbling over their own message. Just recently over the weekend, President Obama said to a reporter I think from the New Yorker, that there really is no policy difference between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, that they're actually the same when it comes to policy. That is a huge difference from some of the convention messaging that we saw last week where kind of a lot of former Republicans we're trying to say, I'll go vote for Joe Biden, he is really a moderate Democrat, when in reality we know that he is nothing more than a puppet for the most radical elements of the Democrat Party. Well, I think that that is I mean, that's the so that that's the little secret here. Number one will ignore that he has, We'll fake people into believing as the strength and the stamina, mental acuity and alertness. While he read through the whole speech, full fifteen minutes of it, the shortest ever, and Buddy, and he got through it. What are you talking about? Look how bright he is? Oh, you know, we already have all the tapes to show the opposite. He's done what he's had thirty four questions leading into the last night's interview President, thousands of questions every day he's out there answering questions, giving information. So the question is can a ghost win? A ghost who surrounded himself and has a stated agenda of radical socialism? I argued, Charlie, the most extreme ticket in terms of positions of a major party in history. That's exactly right. And you also have the base of the party that is basically bragging that they are going to be able to manipulate Joe Biden to do all of their policy wishes. Senator Elizabeth Warren and many others, including the radical communist Angela Davis, came and said that a week and a half ago, Or said, well, we're going to vote for Joe Biden because we know that we can use him as a vessel to put forward our radical agenda. And this is everything from energy independence to firearms, Second Amendment, religious liberty, and freedom, freedom of speech, the judges that Joe Biden still hasn't said that he'll appoint to the Supreme Court if he wins, And yeah, that's really what this election is all about. Can someone who doesn't campaign and just merely barely exists as a political candidate, can he win? And I'm not betting on that. I think that the person who is bold and courageous, active, and is traveling the country communicating clearly and confidently to the American people, I think that that person is much more likely to win. I think that the President's numbers are trending in the right direction. And I believe that if this convention is what I've been told it is, and you know, based in my small role in it, I believe that this will be a celebration of this country, something that middle class Midwestern voters have really been looking for. And the Democrats missed a huge opportunity last week. And I think that the President's gonna really succeed favorably politically because of how he communicates to the American people. This week. All right, Charlie Kirk, President, Turning Point USA, A great opportunity for you tonight. We will be watching number one, number two. Thank you for very courageously going into very hostile environments and spreading the word that socialism is in the answer and listen. It's a risk for any conservative, outspoken conservative on any college campus. I never thought that would happen in America. But it's very important work you're doing, and we wish you the best and we admire your courage. Thank you for being with us. Thank you, Sean Douglas, you thank you so much. All Right, as we continue, you know, these are amazing times where we're looking at what did we see last week, and we're gonna get to your calls. We have a quick update though. Our friend from Project Veritas, James O'Keeffe, has now taken a case to the courts in Oregon. We're gonna find out what this is all about. Then we're gonna get to your calls in the next half hour. The most amazing thing last week, the riots. It's like they don't exist. Oh, our own eves must be deceiving us. They talk about in you know, it's all hate and rage Trump. It was not a moment that I can think of that was uplifting, inspiring talking about American goodness, greatness, exceptionalism, about what they're gonna do well. This week, You're gonna get a lot of talk about American greatness and American exceptionalism, real specific information on jobs and COVID and ending reliance on China and healthcare and education and protecting our borders, cleaning the swamp and innovation for the future.

We'll get to your calls here in just a second eight hundred and nine four one. Shawnee RNC officially kicks off as soon as you see my face at nine eastern on the Fox News Channel Day one with actually a real, actual agenda and real truth. Talked about American greatness, goodness, safety, real plans, free market plans for healthcare and energy and border security and you name it, pretty much the opposite of everything. Last week. Our friends at Project Veritas, and then, of course is their CEO and founder, that would be James O'Keefe has now taken a course to the case to the courts as it relates to socialist utopian Ona's Oregon. And they made a First Amendment history when they in the state of Massachusetts. Now they're doing it in Oregon, and they're suing the State of Oregon tomorrow to remove the unconstitutional law criminalizing the kind of corruption exposing journalism, which is critical. That was freedom of the press, isn't it, especially right now because Oregon is now standing at odds with the majority of states in the country and with decades of Supreme Court rulings. They're challenging the Oregon's undercover journalism ban that's found in specifically Section one sixty five five forty, which names the local district attorney and others as two of the defendants. Anyway, here to explain the suit because it's critical, is James O'Keefe himself, Sir, how are you? I'm interested in what this is about because you won the last time. Thank you. Sean. I'm actually in Portland right now outside the Lucky press conference. So there's antifa. I'm actually in a car right now, but there's Antifa that surrounded us, and we filed a lawsuit here in Portland to overturn the anti recording laws. It's prohibited for us to use hidden cameras into this state of Oregon, and of course that's what we do in order to expose these people. They can't know that they're being recorded. So Oregon has a law that says you have to inform someone if you're going to record them. We think that's unconstitutional. So this morning we filed a lawsuit in Portland, Oregon. We actually walked into the courthouse. The US Marshall let us in and we sued the district attorney here, Michael Schmidt and Sean. We did successfully overturn the Massachusetts law and now we can work there. So we've we've been on a roll with all these lawsuits that we win, and we think this is a no brainer that Oregon should allow Project Garatas to go into these riots and protest undercover record Antifa. And that's why we're here and we think we're going to be successful. Uh. Sounds like a great suit. Okay, what's the process? How long does it take? Anything in the courts seems to go on in perpetuity, doesn't it. Well, it took us about three three years in Massachusetts. Um, and we were we were very successful. I mean it took us. It took us a while. I actually sued the FBI sean uh two weeks ago because they put me on an elicits felons list and that was judicated in one week. So we think this is an open shut case. We think that there are are twelve states or so that that make it that you cannot record someone unless there's an expectation of privacy. And we think these laws basically indemnify the guilty. They are set up to protect fraud and corruption. So we took us three years in Massachusetts. We're doing this in Oregon, we're all we also intend to do it in Maryland. You know, maybe it'll go to the Supreme Court. But but we think that undercover journalism right now is really really important. Sean. We got investigators in different states exposing ballot harvesting and voter fraud, riots and violence. I mean, there's no there's no such thing as the press anymore. So Project Gardas is one of the only organizations in the country actually trying to find out what's going on. We just can't work in the state of Oregon. And the process is we've filed this complaint, we've sued the district attorney, and it's going to go through a process for a year or two to get this overturn. Yeah, well, look, keep us up to the state. I just wanted to mention that this is happening. This this hopefully will become another landmark case because you know, it's amazing when the media mob um when they print all the false information, they're false. Undercover you know, work is exposed, no problem, Project Veritas does it. It's always you know, an army of lawyers. And you haven't lost a case yet by my account, have you. Yeah? Project Veritas has not lost a lawsuit. We've won eight straight lawsuits. In fact, most recently people that suit us for recording them they have had to pay US one hundred thousand dollars in fees. Because the truth is Sean like, what we stand for is so fundamental. Just First Amendment ability to the ability to record someone when you're in a conversation with them is so fundamentally tied your ability to speak to the First Amendment. Here it goes back to the principles of the American founding and even before that, sisters about the ability to tell people what you see, and in Massachusetts that was considered such a fundamental human right. The federal judge said as much. And we've got some big stories coming out. In early September, the President says there's evidence of mail and fraud, ballot harvesting. We've got the evidence. We're gathering that evidence, and it's because of hidden camera in places like North Carolina and Minnesota and these other places that we're operating. So day two in America because Veritas tips at ProtonMail dot com, Veritas tips at proton mail. If you are an inside the blower, you want to get equipped, we are going to help you tell these stories because there's no one else to tell them, all right, James O'Keefe, thanks so much, Thanks for keeping us updated. Good luck and if you're in Portland and i'd stay very safe. I hope you have a lot of people around you, because it's getting a little nuts out there every second of the day. All right, thank you, eight hundred and nine for one. Sean. RNC starts just as Hannity goes on the air in nine Eastern. We've got great things planned for the rest of the week. That's all I can say right now. I wish I could say more, I can't. All right, Let's go to the ever important swing state of Florida, which is critical in seventy one day is it's always critical on election day, and Jim is standing by Jim, Hi, how are you. We're glad you called Hi, Sean this Jim. Hey. You know. The thing is, I'll go back four years ago and to where we were with the RNC convention four years ago when Trump was nominated. I'm a big Ted Cruise fan. I was a big Ted Cruise supporter at the time, and what I would like to see is that this the RNC come to heal, you know, because at that time it wasn't very pretty between Ted Crew supporters and Trump supporters. Since that time, I think the majority I speak for the majority of Ted Crew supporters that say Trump has far gone beyond our expectations as far as holding up his conservative values and doing what we expected Ted Cruise to do in the office. And we expect him Ted Cruise at some future date, possibly to be president and to do the same. But at this time, it's it's stald Trump's period and we need him in office going forward to beat this the leftists back. And so what I'd love to see is during the R and C convention that uh Ted Cruz and his beautiful wife Heidi ud come out and support Donald Trump and his the conservative agenda going forward. And we have to be one, we have to be consolidated going forward to beat back to the leftists that we're confront with with the Biden. Listen, I've always liked Ted Cruz and I know that Ted, I mean, he had a very contentious and which is often the case, battle with the President um in twenty six, fifteen and sixteen. But Ted Cruz has been Ted has taken into another gear. Both his approach, his relationship with the president is standing on all of those conservative principles that he's always shared. And you know what, it really has to be that way. Republicans are not like the Democrats. Republicans they splinter Republicans, they have intramural fighting. Republicans don't always unite. And it's so frustrating because you notice Democrats and the medium out they never lose their lock step. They speak with one voice, and that is hate Trump. Not the riots don't exist. Let's use COVID in the sense the political sense, Joe, what would you do differently? Everything he mentions is exactly what Donald Trump has done and the task Force has done. Now the only new thing is we're gonna shut down the economy again. It's all hands on deck to me, Jim, I think it's all on the line. Is why I wrote Live fore r Die, America in the world on the brink and you're the ultimate jury and it's only seventy one short days. It is going to fly by mark my words. Another swing state, Brian and Pennsylvania. Brian, you're on the Sean Hannity Show. Do the people in your state know that Kamala Harris Joe Biden their stated agenda to ban fracking. Do they have any idea the dramatic financial economic impact lost a job impact would it would take in terms of the toll on Pennsylvania. Well, you know what's on. We're losing a lot of businesses around here right now, and I don't think that's going to go over well with the voters here in Pennsylvania. I'm one of those businesses who's about to shut their doors. I don't know how I'm going to feed my family, let alone keep the doors open in the next couple of months, especially if Biden gets elected. Now, if we know that this mel In voting is way to undermine our election and suppress the voters voice, how do we how do we stop that? What's the product's what's the prognosis of this? You know, how do we go about stopping this? If they know that it's a way to undermine this election. Well, I mean it's everything that we can do. I mean, remember, a lot of these decisions are made on the state level. But this lie that is being told by both the media. Remember that they're taking this now as their their new conspiracy theory. What they did to the postmaster General last week, what they did what two weeks earlier? To the Attorney General, UM's it's like they're setting up the next Russia, Russia? And why why were they willing to withhold funds the first time when we really needed COVID relief the most, never mind this most recent time. It always comes down to, oh, we want open borders and we want to change the voting laws. Well, they know there's negligible voting fraud. They lie. You know, I've chronicled one eighty eight proven instances of voter fraud, nine hundred forty nine criminal convictions voter fraud. I've given specific examples of voter fraud, even mail in voting fraud. And you know, the idea that anyone would want anything less than a free, fair election, you know, shouldn't that should be everything every American unites on. If I was at the DNC last week I've been all these many years I've been on TV, I guarantee you I would need a picture ID to get in the building where in Milwaukee where they had originally planned on having this. I would not get in the door without that. But yet you don't need the same checks and balances for voting. We already know what they did to impact the twenty sixteen election. We already know they protected Hillary Clinton from being indicted. We already know that they ignored her dirty Russian dassie actually use the phony Russian misinformation to spy on a candidate Donald Trump. I don't trust any of them, and I don't trust the mob and the media to tell the truth either. How are the people in your state? Do they understand the impact of a Joe Biden presidency? Yeah, absolutely everybody. And I lived close to one of the plants the President Trump visited not too long ago, and people have migrated up from not only different states in the Pennsylvania, but the people who have lived here, who are season season Pennsylvanians, they know, they know that a Biden presidency would ruin this economy here in in this not only this county, but this state. So everyone that I've spoken to, they're they're very optimistic. But yeah, if you go down the street, you see Trump Pence signs all throughout the place. Well, I you know, look at what happened and scratting all the people on the side of the road that were on the streets for Donald Trump, right I saw that and what he only lived there four years, right, that's about his hometown. Yeah, exactly how many decades gotten in you know, And my father said, Joey's been saying the Joey story for fifty years. Anyway, Thanks for a good call, appreciate it. With counting on you seventy one short days and we're gonna be relying and paying very close attention to the Pennsylvania call on election night where the people in Pennsylvania you're the ultimate ultimate jury. Same with Florida, Same with Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, same with Arizona, and equally important Iowa, Ohio, equally important Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, the congressional district number two in Maine. It's every vote's gonna matter here. You can see that they want every advantage possible. All right, that's gonna wrap things up with today.
