Speaker 1: this pillow more than one investigators that spent it the
Speaker 1: last seventy two hours combing through the line of sixty
Speaker 1: four year old Stephen Paddock to produce a profile to
Speaker 1: someone I will call disturbed endangers, but we know as
Speaker 1: Stephen Paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons
Speaker 1: and AMMO and live in a secret life, much of
Speaker 1: which will never be fully understood. Meticulously planned on the
Speaker 1: worst domestic attack in the United States history. As many
Speaker 1: of you already reported, Paddock rented a room at the
Speaker 1: Ogden Hotel in downtown Las Vegas. This has been confirmed. Okay,
Speaker 1: reasons that ran through Paddock's mind is unknown, but it
Speaker 1: was directly during the same time his life is beautiful.
Speaker 1: We have received recovered UM evidence from that location. We
Speaker 1: don't know if it is evidence, but we have recovered
Speaker 1: items UM and video evidence and I don't want to
Speaker 1: you know what I'm using The wrong term evidence is
Speaker 1: not the term. We have recovered video from there to
Speaker 1: review Mr Paddock's actions while he was there. Now it's
Speaker 1: important for you understand this was not the rooms were
Speaker 1: not rented by the Ogden. It was done through Airbnb
Speaker 1: by a private owner unknown to the Ogden. UM. So
Speaker 1: we have very great cooperation from the owners of Life
Speaker 1: Is Beautiful and the Ogden, and there in full cooperation.
Speaker 1: Let's look at this. I mean you look at the
Speaker 1: weapon obtaining um different amounts of tannin righte available. Um.
Speaker 1: Do you think this was all accomplished on his own
Speaker 1: self value? Face value? You've got to make the assumption
Speaker 1: he had to have some help at some point, and
Speaker 1: we want to ensure that that's the answer. Maybe he's
Speaker 1: a super guy. Maybe he's you know, super yea whoo
Speaker 1: um that had was working out all this on his own. Um,
Speaker 1: But it would be hard for me to believe that,
Speaker 1: and that we need to ask. And there here's the
Speaker 1: reason why put put one and one together, two and
Speaker 1: two together. Another residence in Reno with several firearms, okay,
Speaker 1: electronics and everything else associated with large amounts of AMMO
Speaker 1: a place in the sche We know that he had
Speaker 1: a girlfriend. Do you think this is all self facing?
Speaker 1: Individuals are just uh without talking to somebody. It was
Speaker 1: a questioned amongst themselves. I mean, come on, folks, all right,
Speaker 1: the mystery continues. Glad you are with us right down
Speaker 1: on toll free telephone number. We're in Vegas again today
Speaker 1: News Talk seven twenty k d w N. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is beyond the mystery, UM you're talking about. There's
Speaker 1: less known about this guy, less than we can discover
Speaker 1: about this guy than any one human being. So it
Speaker 1: seems on the face of this earth. But they are
Speaker 1: making progress and and bit by bit we're beginning to
Speaker 1: put the pieces together. You know, who is this guy,
Speaker 1: Stephen Paddock? Why did he do what he did here?
Speaker 1: What motivated him? Now you just heard the sheriff Las
Speaker 1: Vegas Sheriff Joseph Lombardo. UM, and they held the press
Speaker 1: conference again earlier today. The very latest is, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: know he's disturbed and dangerous, living a a very secret
Speaker 1: life that we may never fully understand. Uh. This was premeditated,
Speaker 1: meticulously planned in every way possible. UM. He had spent
Speaker 1: decades acquiring weapons and ammunition. We know he had fifty
Speaker 1: pounds of explosives and sixteen hundred rounds of ammunition. Uh.
Speaker 1: He did rent the second room in downtown Vegas of
Speaker 1: the Ogden and that room was rented by him and
Speaker 1: that's been confirmed. Uh, we have a timeline that we
Speaker 1: want to share with you at ZA. The cops got
Speaker 1: there faster than I had originally thought. I mean they
Speaker 1: actually got to It was seventeen minutes I'm sorry, twelve
Speaker 1: minutes when they got to the or elevenut twelve or
Speaker 1: eleven minutes to the thirty second floor. But it just
Speaker 1: so happens. There had been two police officers that were
Speaker 1: taken care of another matter at the Mandalay Bay and
Speaker 1: they heard about it. First they went outside because I
Speaker 1: thought it was a different location than they went back inside,
Speaker 1: and they actually made it in seven minutes to the
Speaker 1: thirty first floor and then realized the gunfire was coming
Speaker 1: one floor above them. Uh. The shots fired lasted entirety
Speaker 1: about ten minutes, from ten o five to about ten fifteen.
Speaker 1: And uh, let's see what is Linda saying in my ear?
Speaker 1: And so much more that is happening. Um. Anyway, so
Speaker 1: we have than the other issue. We have a security
Speaker 1: officer who was shot tells the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Speaker 1: Department the exact room location that happened, then aided aditional
Speaker 1: officers again this is about fifteen minutes after the original shooting,
Speaker 1: arrived on the thirty second floor and begin to mow
Speaker 1: down the clearing every room looking for injured people and
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. You know, we think about this.
Speaker 1: These two officers that were actually at the hotel and
Speaker 1: they hear this and they went up. They weren't in
Speaker 1: swak here. They knew that this sounded like an automatic weapon.
Speaker 1: Technically not an automatic weapon. We can get into the
Speaker 1: specifics of that later on, but that's what happened. One
Speaker 1: of the things that scares me a little bit, and
Speaker 1: it does go into a little bit of this gun debate,
Speaker 1: is they found the fifty pounds of of what's called
Speaker 1: tanner RTE's described to me by one of the people
Speaker 1: on the Terrorism Task Force here in Nevada, and that
Speaker 1: I spoke to at length last night, that it could
Speaker 1: serve as napalm, if you will. In other words, they
Speaker 1: they're not sure, they're unable to find a source measuring
Speaker 1: how far an explode of that much could spread. But
Speaker 1: in September, if a bomb had exploded exploded in Chelsea,
Speaker 1: in the Chelsea section of New York City, and it
Speaker 1: used an explosive this explosive called tanner wite, and the
Speaker 1: compounds and Tanna write are generally made up of an
Speaker 1: oxidizer such as ammoni and nitrate. You may remember that
Speaker 1: from Themrrow Building, the the Federal FBI building down in
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, and aluminum and another metal based powder and
Speaker 1: only become an explosive when they are combined. And the
Speaker 1: a t F advised that once mixed, the count the
Speaker 1: compounds are highly explosive. You know, I did some research
Speaker 1: and what we saw is a video claiming what looked
Speaker 1: like a car loaded with fifty pounds of tanna waite
Speaker 1: going off. Now, Tanna write is popular for target practice
Speaker 1: because it produces a loud bang in a puff of
Speaker 1: smoke when hit with a fast moving bullet. So although
Speaker 1: tanna wite was designed to produce a relatively small explosion
Speaker 1: for safety, people have used it and have been seriously
Speaker 1: hurt and even killed using it. And now you're talking
Speaker 1: about fifty pounds of the material. In most cases that
Speaker 1: happened when it's detonated inside a container, which with fragmented
Speaker 1: you know, shrapnel flying out in all different directions. So
Speaker 1: we're watching that. Now there is the big mystery two
Speaker 1: of this girlfriend that we really can't seem to get
Speaker 1: ahold of um the gunnant opened fire anyway, He had
Speaker 1: sent her on a trip which was odd to her.
Speaker 1: Her Her attorney gave a statement, I know I knew
Speaker 1: Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man. Mary Lou
Speaker 1: Danley is her name, Paddock's girlfriend, said in a statement
Speaker 1: read by the attorney. He never said anything to me
Speaker 1: or took any action that I was aware of that
Speaker 1: I understood in any way to be a warning that
Speaker 1: something horrible was gonna happen. Now. Danley was out of
Speaker 1: the country when Paddock carried out this rampage. She returned
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles Tuesday night. She said she's devastated by
Speaker 1: the deaths and the injuries that have occurred. My prayers
Speaker 1: go out to the victims and their families and all
Speaker 1: those who have been hurt by these awful events. And
Speaker 1: Danley said that she left the country because Paddock bought
Speaker 1: her a ticket to visit her family in the Philippines,
Speaker 1: which then explains why maybe the hundred thousand dollars was
Speaker 1: sent there, and while there, she said, Paddock wired the
Speaker 1: money that he explained was meant to help her purchase
Speaker 1: a home for Danley and her family, he said. She said,
Speaker 1: I was grateful, but honestly worried that first the unexpected
Speaker 1: trip home and then the money, she thought he was
Speaker 1: breaking up with her, and occurred to her that it
Speaker 1: never occurred to her that he was planning this sort
Speaker 1: of thing. Anyway, Danley pledged to cooperate with authorities, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll find out more in the days, weeks
Speaker 1: and months ahead if she has any involvement at all.
Speaker 1: She's certainly still considered a person of interest, and the
Speaker 1: police department has said as much. UM. Now, we have
Speaker 1: some other surrounding issues involving this um and that is,
Speaker 1: you know, the fact that they encountered a closed bedroom door.
Speaker 1: When they actually got to the thirty second floor, no
Speaker 1: one was inside, none of the cameras were recording. We
Speaker 1: had heard an awful lot about the food cart outside
Speaker 1: of the shooters door, and the food cart did in fact,
Speaker 1: it was wired for video, but no video was being taken,
Speaker 1: and one of the cameras was on the peephole in
Speaker 1: the front door. He had two cameras on the cart,
Speaker 1: had one of those baby camera monitoring things in the
Speaker 1: living area, and through the peepole in the hallway he
Speaker 1: could see the security guard approaching. They had search warrants
Speaker 1: on the suspect's vehicle ten one pound containers of Tanner
Speaker 1: righte to twenty pound containers of Tanna right for fifty
Speaker 1: pounds total rounds of ammunition in the car. And you know,
Speaker 1: having not understood the trigger points of what would cause
Speaker 1: this I haven't been able to count the rounds yet.
Speaker 1: It's not a suicide. Note, and they did not see
Speaker 1: another individual with Paddock when he was gambling in terms
Speaker 1: of the early footage that they've been able to gather. Um,
Speaker 1: so that's pretty much the latest about what we know now.
Speaker 1: We do know a few other things here. The investigators
Speaker 1: are now looking for some mystery woman that was spotted
Speaker 1: with Paddock just before the massacre. Uh. This was NBC
Speaker 1: News as report. They said, the FBI is trying to
Speaker 1: track down the so called mystery woman spotted with him
Speaker 1: in the days prior to the attack. They don't know
Speaker 1: if she had any connection to the attack, but they'd
Speaker 1: like to speak with her as they build this timeline
Speaker 1: of his last days. And as we pointed out, the
Speaker 1: girlfriend was out of town Gateway Pundit added at the
Speaker 1: Mandalaid Bay room service receipt for Paddock's room, and I
Speaker 1: see the Washington Examiner now actually has copies of it,
Speaker 1: and a couple of times that he ordered room service.
Speaker 1: And it's like the first question that they always ask you,
Speaker 1: you know, is is this will you be dining? Uh?
Speaker 1: With how many people will be dining? I mean I
Speaker 1: got everything. Single time I ordered root services. I'm in here.
Speaker 1: They asked the question, how many people will be dining?
Speaker 1: You say one? Well, the check says two, So was
Speaker 1: there somebody else in the room. Some people said that
Speaker 1: the brother had suggested, well, it wouldn't be unusual for
Speaker 1: him to order two meals, Okay, but that doesn't that
Speaker 1: doesn't give an answer to why did he say to
Speaker 1: and asked the question how many people will be dining?
Speaker 1: The We learned today also NBC in and around the
Speaker 1: Boston area that officials in Boston were informed today that
Speaker 1: the Vegas shooter originally wanted to target Fenway Park anyway.
Speaker 1: NBC News reports the gunman opened fire in Vegas research
Speaker 1: Fenway Park in the months before the massacre. According to
Speaker 1: senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation. At this point,
Speaker 1: there's no evidence that Paddock ever traveled to Boston. All
Speaker 1: is known is that he did research on the city
Speaker 1: involving outdoor concerts and hotel rooms overlooking the concerts. Fenway
Speaker 1: has hosted several concerts like Lady Gaga, Billy Joel, New
Speaker 1: Kids on the Block. Most hotels in the area have
Speaker 1: an obstructive view of Fenway or no view at all.
Speaker 1: So maybe that's why he came and chose a ya location.
Speaker 1: But again, it doesn't give us a motive, doesn't give
Speaker 1: us a reason why. How come we know? The gun
Speaker 1: store owner says that Paddock brought his girlfriend along as
Speaker 1: he shot for a modification device. This is a store
Speaker 1: owner in Texas who had previously sold guns to this guy. Anyway,
Speaker 1: says the Paddock came in and says Paddock came into
Speaker 1: the store last year inquired about a device that would
Speaker 1: quote modify a gun to make it easier to pull
Speaker 1: the trigger. His girlfriend was with him, So we'll look
Speaker 1: into that a little bit more closely as time goes on.
Speaker 1: The n r A has come out. Wayne Lapierre will
Speaker 1: be on Hannity tonight nine Eastern from Vegas, and they
Speaker 1: have come out against these bump stocks. By the way,
Speaker 1: it doesn't turn the weapon into an automatic weapon. It
Speaker 1: just makes it seem like it's firing like an automatic weapon.
Speaker 1: It's something you can manufacture plastic, fairly easy to do
Speaker 1: and and whether they're legal or legal. From friends of
Speaker 1: mine that know this what this is, well, they said
Speaker 1: it's it'll help, but if somebody wants one, they're gonna
Speaker 1: make one that would be usable. Alright, Shaun is a
Speaker 1: toe free telephone number. Adam Housley is with us today.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with him. Also, Dan Bongino will check
Speaker 1: in with some local law enforcement. Bill O'Reilly is also
Speaker 1: on the program today. All right, we're gonna get the
Speaker 1: latest from Adam Howsley. He's here on the ground with
Speaker 1: us in Vegas. Uh. We thought we were coming back
Speaker 1: last night, and um, well we're here and there's still
Speaker 1: so much going on in so much news and so
Speaker 1: much we don't know, and so we decided we're gonna
Speaker 1: stay another day and report here from Vegas. One of
Speaker 1: the things I'm actually very very honored. I have met
Speaker 1: the doctors that save lives, I have met the policeman,
Speaker 1: the fireman that save lives. I've met civilians that have
Speaker 1: saved lives. I think it was one of the hardest
Speaker 1: things interviews I've ever done. I had to interview last
Speaker 1: night on the TV show an incredible man. His name
Speaker 1: is Tony Berditas, married thirty two years and he was
Speaker 1: holding hands with his wife at the concert and she
Speaker 1: got hit in the back of the head and she
Speaker 1: died pretty much right there on the spot. And he's
Speaker 1: an army VET was on the show. He wanted to
Speaker 1: honor his wife and tell her story and keep her
Speaker 1: memory alive. Um, just incredible pain that so many people
Speaker 1: are going through. I met a young girl just finished
Speaker 1: her chemotherapy last night, beautiful young woman named Colleen, and
Speaker 1: her mother Kelly, and this young woman, you know, it
Speaker 1: was like a big deal having finished her course of
Speaker 1: therapy and her scans, thank god, are clear, and she
Speaker 1: wanted to go to the concerts. She you know, she's
Speaker 1: still weakened from all that treatment and not nearly kills
Speaker 1: you chemotherapy, And she went and she was running away
Speaker 1: and then somebody saw she was struggling and picked her
Speaker 1: up and held her and carried her to safety. That's
Speaker 1: just you know, I just saw a T shirt Vegas Strong.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's just amazing the stories. I was
Speaker 1: invited after the program today. Apparently some people that we're
Speaker 1: we're victims of this um heard I was in town
Speaker 1: and I was invited to go see them and meet
Speaker 1: with some of the first responders and the surgeons that
Speaker 1: saved their lives. And so we're gonna do that. I'm very,
Speaker 1: very humbled and honored to go down there and say
Speaker 1: hello to these folks and and try and cheer them
Speaker 1: off up. I will do it on behalf of all
Speaker 1: of you, because I know that's how we all feel.
Speaker 1: All Right, we gotta take a break. We're in Vegas
Speaker 1: and we will continue. It's the Sean Hannity Show right
Speaker 1: down on toll free number one. Plenty of time to
Speaker 1: get calls in today and Bongino. Some local police department
Speaker 1: officials will be with us today. Adam Howsley is here,
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly will weigh in and much more as we
Speaker 1: continue the Sean Hannity Show. All Right, as we continue
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show one, Shawn told re telephone number, you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program from Vegas,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm actually very honored and humble that
Speaker 1: we're gonna go down and say hello and meet some
Speaker 1: of the people that have been suffering and victims of
Speaker 1: the senseless, insane and evil shooting and that took place here.
Speaker 1: And uh and especially I've been so honored to meet
Speaker 1: the doctors and the police and the fireman and first
Speaker 1: responders and then just you know, every day folks just
Speaker 1: helping neighbor, helping neighbor, saving lives, covering you know, their
Speaker 1: girlfriends and their wives, and and then sadly meeting so
Speaker 1: many people that suffered and I continue to suffer. One
Speaker 1: bit of news that we're gonna get to Adam Howsley,
Speaker 1: Democrats and the media. You know, they were all, oh,
Speaker 1: let's go after the n r A. F you n
Speaker 1: r A. All these celebrities tweeting out, etcetera. Um, now
Speaker 1: the n r A. They were hoping that the n
Speaker 1: r A would come out and defend bump stocks. Now
Speaker 1: that's the device that was used by this shooter to
Speaker 1: make it is rifle fire more like a machine gun,
Speaker 1: not exactly, it's not quite its cycles at a much
Speaker 1: faster rate would be the proper term to use here.
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry to disappoint you. It turns out that
Speaker 1: bump stocks aren't going to be the wedge issue that
Speaker 1: they've been counting on to go after the n RA
Speaker 1: the way they usually do. Anyway, their first statement since
Speaker 1: the shooting, the n r A is calling for additional
Speaker 1: regulations on this device that was used by the shooter
Speaker 1: that allows more rounds to be fired by a single
Speaker 1: pull of the trigger. And the n r A said
Speaker 1: in Vegas reports indicate that certain devices were used to
Speaker 1: modify the firearms involved, despite the fact that the Obama
Speaker 1: administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at
Speaker 1: least two occasions. Now you know, Democrats are clamoring they
Speaker 1: want bump stocks banned. And remember they had power all
Speaker 1: these years, and when it was their time to be empowered,
Speaker 1: they didn't want any real legislation because they thought there
Speaker 1: would be political blowback. That's just the fact. Anyway, Rapid
Speaker 1: fire devices or bump stocks what they call them, this
Speaker 1: is what Stephen Paddock used to convert his rifle into
Speaker 1: not quite a machine gun, just accelerating the rate of fire. Well,
Speaker 1: they were okayed for public use by the Obama Arab
Speaker 1: Bureau of Alcohol Alcohol Tobacco on firearms and explosives. This
Speaker 1: was done in mid and the company's Slide Fire patented
Speaker 1: a shoulder version of version of bump stock and sent
Speaker 1: the device to Obama's at F for regulatory evaluation in
Speaker 1: early and they got approval of that device in June
Speaker 1: of that year. In a letter explaining that decision, they said,
Speaker 1: the stock has no automatically functioning mechanical parts or springs,
Speaker 1: and performs no automatic mechanical function when installed. Now, in
Speaker 1: order to use that device, the shooter must apply constant
Speaker 1: forward pressure with the non shooting hand and constant basically
Speaker 1: they're using the re oil pressure with the shooting hand.
Speaker 1: And according accordingly, we find that the bump stock is
Speaker 1: a firearm part and is not regulated as a firearm
Speaker 1: under the Gun Control Lacked National Firearms Act that happened
Speaker 1: in the Obama years. Adam Housley, my friend and colleague
Speaker 1: from the Fox News channel. He has been well, I
Speaker 1: know you were up late with us last night, and
Speaker 1: then I saw you on Fox and Friends very early
Speaker 1: this morning, and then I saw you all throughout the day.
Speaker 1: You haven't stopped working since I've seen you. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's one of those stories that if I was talking
Speaker 1: to my wife about this this morning. You know, you
Speaker 1: you don't care about the hours because you know you're
Speaker 1: you're you're fortunate you're not dealing with what so many
Speaker 1: people are dealing with you, you know, so you just
Speaker 1: kind of you don't even you don't even want to complain.
Speaker 1: There's no reason to what do you got. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's still a mystery here. I mean you talk about
Speaker 1: an enigma or ghost. Um we're learning little bits and pieces,
Speaker 1: but not enough that that fills in the canvas here
Speaker 1: to let people have some understanding of what was going
Speaker 1: through this maniac's mind. But they are working on a
Speaker 1: lot of different angles on this. What can you tell us, Well,
Speaker 1: I'd say a number of things. One I was reiterated
Speaker 1: to me this morning that nothing's off the table. You know.
Speaker 1: It's the one thing I've noticed is different from when
Speaker 1: I was in Aurora, when I was covering San Bernardino,
Speaker 1: which we knew right away there was terrorism, um or
Speaker 1: and a few other things have covered around the world.
Speaker 1: You know, this is the first time it's gone this
Speaker 1: long with nothing of significance that we know now. Maybe
Speaker 1: they asked them, they're not telling us, but They've been
Speaker 1: pretty open about some stuff, so nothing's off the table shown.
Speaker 1: The second thing I thought it was interesting too, was
Speaker 1: since the beginning, I've been told by the federal and
Speaker 1: local law enforcement that I know that I trust and
Speaker 1: known for a long time that Listen, it's kind of
Speaker 1: hard to believe this guy didn't know somebody or work
Speaker 1: with somebody. But they don't want to speculate that. And
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sure it's that go on the air
Speaker 1: and speculate about that because we don't know. We don't
Speaker 1: have the thread to show that. But by looking at
Speaker 1: all prior cases and being profilers and this kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: it just makes the most sense by far. And then
Speaker 1: the sheriff came out last night and said the same
Speaker 1: thing that surprised him that he was going to say
Speaker 1: that because they don't have the thread to prove it.
Speaker 1: But by looking at past cases and all their expertise
Speaker 1: and all the time done over the years, you you know,
Speaker 1: they very strongly believe it's there. They just don't have
Speaker 1: the proof. In The sheriff kind of said the last night, listen,
Speaker 1: we think somebody would work with them. We don't know
Speaker 1: who it is, but we believe that this guy didn't
Speaker 1: do this alone. It would be really hard for him too,
Speaker 1: So I thought that was an interesting development. There's a
Speaker 1: there's this mystery woman that they're looking for who apparently
Speaker 1: been seen with him in the days leading up to this. Yes, um,
Speaker 1: you know. The problem they're having a little bit is
Speaker 1: is like you see with any of these events around
Speaker 1: the world, is horrible things as massacres. You've got a
Speaker 1: lot of conspiracies. There is especially the run with the internet. Um,
Speaker 1: so that unfortunately does muck things up a bit because
Speaker 1: you've we've heard some other stories that ended up being
Speaker 1: completely untrue. This one seems to have some legs to it. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know as another end to are
Speaker 1: starting was by for a different reason. Um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have unfortunately not gotten a lot on this one.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you and I you know, I'm
Speaker 1: hoping this is a good lead. You know, I have
Speaker 1: seen the receipt that people send me and viewers send
Speaker 1: me about supposedly there was a two person you know
Speaker 1: charging that. You know, there's an easy explanation. I've been
Speaker 1: the hotels of Foreign sty two person charges. I ordered
Speaker 1: two things um, you know, so that there could be
Speaker 1: an easy explanation for that. Um, there was an easy
Speaker 1: explanation I talked about last night on the show about watch.
Speaker 1: Thought there were other floors where there was gunfire because
Speaker 1: that I want to go in the mirror. I want
Speaker 1: to go through this because actually one of the the
Speaker 1: task force guys, the terrorism task for guys, actually showed
Speaker 1: me varying illusions on that very hotel. For example, you know,
Speaker 1: when the sun is at a certain angle, it looks
Speaker 1: like the windows are all blown out at half of
Speaker 1: the Mandalay Bay, and it's not. And all of us
Speaker 1: have seen the pop pop pop pop, look at the
Speaker 1: lower floors. What have people told you about that exact
Speaker 1: same thing? And that's and actually one of the tactical
Speaker 1: guys that responded that night I met and spoke with
Speaker 1: and he said that also hinted them a little bit,
Speaker 1: because you know, any times are breaking news situation or
Speaker 1: situation like that, it's chaotic. People are going to see
Speaker 1: things in here. Things, especially with those buildings, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get goes. And because it's Vegas and they're all mirror,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get reflections. So they didn't know truly didn't
Speaker 1: know if there was only one gunman or there were
Speaker 1: five or tim gum and they didn't know. And so
Speaker 1: the last thing they want to do is to get
Speaker 1: their tactical teams in there. Now they get shot. I mean,
Speaker 1: that makes a situation even more dire. Um, So those
Speaker 1: reflections didn't make it a bit difficult. They had an
Speaker 1: idea there was at least somebody on the thirty second round,
Speaker 1: the thirty second floor, but they had to clear all
Speaker 1: and it was dark, so they had to clear all
Speaker 1: those other locations and in order to get the team,
Speaker 1: and I've told they went into the back door because
Speaker 1: there was no reportive shots obviously fired on the back side,
Speaker 1: and that's how they eventually went in and they cleared
Speaker 1: floors that way. What about this woman that's been reported
Speaker 1: almost everywhere that apparently it told people in the front
Speaker 1: of the stage that they're gonna die. Have you heard
Speaker 1: anything about that? You know, it's one of those one again,
Speaker 1: that's one of the stories that we were sent to
Speaker 1: us early on. We haven't seen any I haven't seen
Speaker 1: any evidence of it. Um. You know, sometimes again, people
Speaker 1: can be um scooped and and something can mean nothing
Speaker 1: and it comes obviously, because I'm not saying it did
Speaker 1: not happen. I'm saying I don't know anything. I've Yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously I had a lot of viewers that that sent
Speaker 1: me stuff. Check into it. I've made some calls, you know,
Speaker 1: just hey, check into everything. You never know, especially when
Speaker 1: you have no background on this guy. Really, um, and
Speaker 1: at this point, I have nothing on that. But you know,
Speaker 1: you hope that isn't true, because if that is true,
Speaker 1: now you're talking about a much different situation. Shot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what are the other angles that we're looking at here?
Speaker 1: What are the police? I mean, the fact that this
Speaker 1: guy has no social media presence is is a little
Speaker 1: bizarre to to me and to everybody else here. I mean,
Speaker 1: even though it's a bit older. I mean, the fact
Speaker 1: is I want to know about that. I also want
Speaker 1: to aware of the videotapes. This guy supposedly was a
Speaker 1: big you know, poker player. You'd like to play you know,
Speaker 1: what do you call poker on the machine? What do
Speaker 1: you call that video poker? Poker? Yeah, so apparently you
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time in casinos and it was
Speaker 1: a pretty big better. That means they have to have
Speaker 1: hours of footage of this guy, don't they they do,
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't. They don't mean video, They've got witnesses.
Speaker 1: I mean the I know, I know for a fact
Speaker 1: at at at Mandelaide Bay that when his picture popped
Speaker 1: up in the screen there were a significant number of
Speaker 1: employees and there are thousand of employees there and and
Speaker 1: the agents have made it very clear to me there
Speaker 1: was They don't believe that Mandela Bis has done anything
Speaker 1: to stop this, to be honest with you, they've they've
Speaker 1: found really very little fault if anything. They found, you know,
Speaker 1: the security guard and other issues. They think Vandalaid Bay,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of heroes involved there. Mustik him for
Speaker 1: Mandelaide Bays, as they tell me. Um just having said
Speaker 1: that when his picture popped up there a number of employees,
Speaker 1: a number basically said that they just their stomach dropped
Speaker 1: because he was known to be a gambler. They've seen
Speaker 1: her is is a companion Mary Lou with him. Um
Speaker 1: and he generally would be. Um spent some recent time
Speaker 1: at the pool. There's a two cabanas. Specifically, I've been
Speaker 1: at that pool there before. Beautiful, nice area, tons of cabannahs,
Speaker 1: relaxing location. There's two of them that are that are
Speaker 1: set aside just for people to gamble a lot, and
Speaker 1: he had been using those two a significant amount in
Speaker 1: recent months, so um he was known here and as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Adam Housley, I know you've been just working
Speaker 1: so hard and uh, keep digging for information. Anything else
Speaker 1: new you get, I know you'll have on Hannity tonight
Speaker 1: or New Time nine Eastern. By the way, we don't
Speaker 1: get to see each other a lot, but we've been
Speaker 1: friends a long time at the Fox News Channel and
Speaker 1: and you always do a phenomenal job, and I know
Speaker 1: how hard you work every day to get the bottom
Speaker 1: line for these stories you're working on. So thanks for
Speaker 1: being with us. Then, alright eight nine one, Sean, if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, I
Speaker 1: want to give a couple of political items just to
Speaker 1: stay focused here. Although somebody just sent me some breaking news.
Speaker 1: Let's see what this is. Pull it up on my iPhone.
Speaker 1: I wish it would go faster, okay, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: already have that, all right. Um, the House Committee, the
Speaker 1: House Homeland Security Committee, gave their first approval to the
Speaker 1: broad scope of the President's border wall. All this is
Speaker 1: what I was saying was necessary for the president, in
Speaker 1: other words, clearing a bill that would authorize ten billion
Speaker 1: dollars in new infrastructure spending and new waivers that would
Speaker 1: speed up the construction of the wall that the president.
Speaker 1: This is the money that he wanted. This is the
Speaker 1: money that he needed to proved ahead of time. As
Speaker 1: I always said, you always get the tax increase, you
Speaker 1: never get the spending cut, you always get the consideration
Speaker 1: for those that didn't respect our laws and sovereignty, you
Speaker 1: never get the wall built. Um So, anyway, it would
Speaker 1: be ten billion dollars. This would be the money for
Speaker 1: the border wall, and they're starting the process to appropriate
Speaker 1: enough money to cover the entire cost of what this
Speaker 1: is gonna be, which is a big start. Democrats vehemently
Speaker 1: opposed this building committee, saying the walls of boondoggle. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Republicans back the bill eighteen to twelve party line vote,
Speaker 1: saying it's time to get a handle on our borders.
Speaker 1: That is the first good signed. I think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be some type of consideration as it relates to DACA.
Speaker 1: I'm told there will be, but I'm told it will
Speaker 1: not include a path to citizenship, legalization or amnesty and
Speaker 1: that there's penalties. That's for those people that were here
Speaker 1: um taken into the country by their parents. There is
Speaker 1: a a new report out that UM that shows that
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, she's been out there complaining about Harvey Weinstein
Speaker 1: is a big movie buff guy and you know, I
Speaker 1: guess he was with Mirror Max over the years in
Speaker 1: some different places. Varieties reporting that he's now hired a
Speaker 1: bunch of high powered attorneys to push back and as
Speaker 1: soon to be published bombshells story in the New York Times,
Speaker 1: and apparently the New York are dealing with, you know,
Speaker 1: sexual allegations in proper workplace behavior against him and a
Speaker 1: lot of women making the charges believed to be on
Speaker 1: the record, and you know, he's the the mogul of
Speaker 1: Weinstein Company, and he's literally gone out and he's gotten
Speaker 1: David Boys was one of the best attorneys. He represented
Speaker 1: Al Gore and push v Gore one of the smartest
Speaker 1: attorneys I've ever met. And Lisa Bloom apparently was hired
Speaker 1: ronan Pharaoh. Didn't he host a show on Conspiracy TV?
Speaker 1: He did. Apparently he now is doing the story for
Speaker 1: the New Yorker. That's interesting and uh, maybe Lannie Davis
Speaker 1: is going to be a part of this is gonna
Speaker 1: be apparently a war. So now that the New York
Speaker 1: Times and all these other places, he's one of Hillary
Speaker 1: Clinton's biggest fundraisers. I wonder if Hillary is gonna say
Speaker 1: anything about this. After all, she said women have a
Speaker 1: right to be believed, didn't she at one point? Um,
Speaker 1: So we have a lot of different angles. Um I
Speaker 1: gotta see a lot of things here because we will
Speaker 1: definitely be headed back tonight, but we're gonna go immediately
Speaker 1: to the hospital. And I am the people I have
Speaker 1: met here. I can't really explain when you meet doctors
Speaker 1: that have saved so many lives. I mean, they're taken
Speaker 1: in hundreds of wounded people. Amazing. Here the everyday person
Speaker 1: that helped pick up somebody that was really struggling to
Speaker 1: get to safety during the shooting, amazing. You hear the
Speaker 1: police scanners amazing. You see what the police did amazing.
Speaker 1: See what the fire department and paramedics did, amazing. You
Speaker 1: see all the doctors and nurses that were off duty
Speaker 1: come flying into work that day, And as one doctor
Speaker 1: told me, it's a miracle that we were able to
Speaker 1: save a lot of the lives we saved. It was
Speaker 1: like triage. It was like a war zone, he described it.
Speaker 1: And you know, over five d people injured coming in
Speaker 1: at once, gunshot wounds. You got serious injuries here, and
Speaker 1: they just did an amazing job. It's very humbling when
Speaker 1: you meet really this is the America. I know, the
Speaker 1: goodness that is America, the goodness that is the American people.
Speaker 1: And I just I want to convey this to you
Speaker 1: because I'm so honored having had met so many of
Speaker 1: these people. And we'll introduce more of them to you
Speaker 1: tonight on Hannity. All right, when we come back, we're
Speaker 1: gonna check in with our law enforcement experts, Dan Bongino,
Speaker 1: some local law enforcements, Bill O'Reilly. Later in the program,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about his thoughts on all of this.
Speaker 1: We'll continue from Las Vegas. All right. As we continue,
Speaker 1: we're in Vegas, we have some of Vegas finest will
Speaker 1: join us, Stan Bongino will join us. We've got a
Speaker 1: lot of your calls in eight ning for one Sean,
Speaker 1: we'll get Bill O'reiley's take Hannity tonight at nine from Vegas.
Speaker 1: Hope you'll join us. Yeah, get down right, here he go,
Speaker 1: keep your head down and go keep your head down.
Speaker 1: Go keep your heat down. Let's go, keep your head down.
Speaker 1: Run cheap your head down, run go come on, keep
Speaker 1: your head down, yo, come on run go, come on,
Speaker 1: keep your head down. Run go keep your head down.
Speaker 1: Go right go you go go go my never go no,
Speaker 1: hey go may go telling my first, tell you my first?
Speaker 1: Stop nobody, I don't know. Run down, we go, sing down.
Speaker 1: He gets the wall, go down, hold out, guess the
Speaker 1: wall down? Pick up? No no, no, no no, no, now
Speaker 1: go go go go. Huh you need to run that
Speaker 1: way if you lost safer? What's why west to run
Speaker 1: that way? Go? Was they're not shooting? Got not right?
Speaker 1: The second? Just hanging out a second? What's up? My man?
Speaker 1: They say it come like a five wounded? What can't
Speaker 1: gut up with your chest? Here? Someone holy? All right,
Speaker 1: now we are too, Seawan Hannity Show. As we continue
Speaker 1: from Las Vegas, the voice you heard there was yet
Speaker 1: another hero as this evil in this carnage began the
Speaker 1: voice of Raymond Page, and you hear him directing people
Speaker 1: away from danger head down during this Vegas shooting incident
Speaker 1: and transports. He transported some people and that were wounded
Speaker 1: in his truck and got him down to the hospital
Speaker 1: so they could be safe and secure. You know, we
Speaker 1: saw the some of the footage that was released by
Speaker 1: the Vegas Police Department, and we saw the heroism there.
Speaker 1: Then we heard, of course the dispatch call where they
Speaker 1: got up to the thirty second floor. Now we know
Speaker 1: is what about eleven minutes right after the first shot
Speaker 1: was fired. Amazing response time considering where it was and
Speaker 1: how quickly they got up there, and what they've been
Speaker 1: able to do, and every one of these people putting
Speaker 1: their lives on the line for for others. It does
Speaker 1: make you wonder that maybe if there's another high profile
Speaker 1: incident that involves the police, that maybe for once the
Speaker 1: American people can unite around the idea that well police
Speaker 1: to have the right to the assumption of innocence and
Speaker 1: that we can at least give them the benefit of
Speaker 1: the doubt. And there's never been a resisted arrest that's
Speaker 1: ever gonna look good on some you know, iPhone videotape
Speaker 1: that somebody's taken. It's never gonna look pretty. Somebody's resisting arrest,
Speaker 1: They will never look good ever. But we did have
Speaker 1: a lot of cases where we do rush to judgment. Baltimore,
Speaker 1: Freddy Gray and Ferguson, Hands up, don't shoot, never happened,
Speaker 1: even have a Cambridge police acted stupidly, a great rush
Speaker 1: to judgment there and a sense that, oh, Colin Kaepernick,
Speaker 1: he can start taking a knee and wearing socks depicting
Speaker 1: the police officers as pigs, and a lot of people
Speaker 1: taking a knee with Colin Kaepernick. And I say this
Speaker 1: because you know, we need to remember what it is
Speaker 1: these guys do we seem to forget? You know, this
Speaker 1: will be a distant memory. At some point down the line,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a high profile case and you're gonna
Speaker 1: have the usual suspects on the left out there, you know,
Speaker 1: saying convicted. You know they're the judge, jury, and executioner,
Speaker 1: no evidence presented. Look at the case in Ferguson, officer
Speaker 1: Darren Wilson wasn't even indicted, and it wasn't indicted because
Speaker 1: the eyewitnesses, predominantly an overwhelming number of them African American,
Speaker 1: came forward and said it was Michael Brown that reached
Speaker 1: into his car to grab his gun, and then they
Speaker 1: testified that he charged Darren Wilson and Darren Wilson had
Speaker 1: no other choice but to defend himself. Joining US now
Speaker 1: Dan Bongino, former Secret Service agent, m yp D contributing
Speaker 1: editor a Conservative Review. Randy Sutton is with US, thirty
Speaker 1: four year police veteran of the Las Vegas Police Department
Speaker 1: and spokesman for Blue Lives Matter. Welcome all of you
Speaker 1: to the program. Uh, Dan, I know you a long time.
Speaker 1: It's amazing that you know, we forgot about what the
Speaker 1: heroes did on nine eleven. I'm assuming probably people will
Speaker 1: forget here and there'll be a high profile incident and
Speaker 1: they'll be the probably the predictable cast of characters on
Speaker 1: the left that go out there and attack them. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, it's really disappointing. When I was in the
Speaker 1: Secret Service, we had an expression called get big. You know,
Speaker 1: when everything broke bad, you were supposed to get big.
Speaker 1: Everyone else is gonna talk and you have to get big.
Speaker 1: You have to take those bullets. You can't afford to
Speaker 1: let those bullets that you're protecting. And our our nation's cops,
Speaker 1: the men and women out there doing this every day,
Speaker 1: they get big every single day of their lives. And
Speaker 1: it's a disgrace that they're forced to make split second decisions.
Speaker 1: They don't have the luxury of going back and chalk
Speaker 1: talking things afterwards. And the first response by attacking liberals
Speaker 1: on the left, who have nothing better to do than
Speaker 1: to relook at this over the time and relitigate every
Speaker 1: use of force matter consistently air on the side of
Speaker 1: attacking our law enforcement. These guys and these ladies are
Speaker 1: the best of us. They deserve the benefit of the
Speaker 1: Dale said, you know, Randy, you've been on the department
Speaker 1: out here for for decades. I want to I want
Speaker 1: to talk to you about this. One of the things
Speaker 1: that came out today is that you know, every time
Speaker 1: I've been in a hotel and it's happened since I've
Speaker 1: been in Vegas, you know, you you call room service
Speaker 1: and they say how many is this for? How many
Speaker 1: people will be dining? And we have the receipts of
Speaker 1: the shooter and in three or two separate incidences, he
Speaker 1: ordered for two guests. Now, some people are saying, not
Speaker 1: necessarily true. What do you glean for that? Don't they
Speaker 1: always ask the question? And why would somebody say two
Speaker 1: guests if it was only one? I agree with you,
Speaker 1: and there there was I think it's pretty clear that
Speaker 1: there were two guests. Now whether that that other guests,
Speaker 1: uh you know, may have been you have no idea.
Speaker 1: You may have may have called a call girl to
Speaker 1: come up there. Since since he was planning this, uh,
Speaker 1: this this mess that he that he that he accomplished,
Speaker 1: you don't know. But it is certainly a lead that
Speaker 1: needs to be that needs to be delved into, because
Speaker 1: you know, there's a very good possibility that this was
Speaker 1: an individual who had some knowledge of this, of this crime,
Speaker 1: and so this is a very active lead that needs
Speaker 1: to be followed. Yeah, what do you think about that? Dan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting. I mean, just to be candid,
Speaker 1: when I'm in a hotel room, Shoan, I eat like
Speaker 1: a monster, so I order too regardless, So you don't know,
Speaker 1: but that is kind of suspicious. But I'm not, um,
Speaker 1: I don't know that the sheriff yesterday has been terrific
Speaker 1: by the way, it seems to indicate that there may
Speaker 1: be some evidence of an accomplice here somewhere. So I'm
Speaker 1: not so sure that I want to jump to that
Speaker 1: that he acted alone. He may have had some help.
Speaker 1: But he also indicated there may have been or someone
Speaker 1: insinuated that there may be some radicalization here that happened
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, again just being candid, shown this
Speaker 1: is a case. It's an enigma wrapped in a mystery.
Speaker 1: I mean, none of the pre attack indicators in my
Speaker 1: experience as a secret Service agent associated with targeted violence,
Speaker 1: none of them are there. This case makes no sense.
Speaker 1: It's a big puzzle to everyone. I'm sure Randy would agree.
Speaker 1: It's just a really, really puzzling case. Randy, I couldn't
Speaker 1: agree more. I couldn't agree more. This, this is, this
Speaker 1: whole investigation is uh is something that um, I don't
Speaker 1: think has been expected by by anyone. I mean, we're
Speaker 1: talking about talking about going down the rabbit hole. UM.
Speaker 1: Every time that that we hear something else released by
Speaker 1: the sheriff, it just it becomes even more confusing. UM.
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that I I I
Speaker 1: leaned from what the sheriff said yesterday was about the
Speaker 1: about the possible accomplice and also the portion of what
Speaker 1: he said where UM, he thought that he might have
Speaker 1: planned an escape route. You know, these are these are
Speaker 1: these are startling issues here and UH, and I think
Speaker 1: that that as this as this lest forward. Um. I
Speaker 1: know that they're holding things close to the vest, and
Speaker 1: I understand that because if there is an accomplice out there,
Speaker 1: they don't want to they don't want to tip their hands.
Speaker 1: But so law enforcement needs to be given a little
Speaker 1: latitude here. Let me ask you. Go ahead, Dan Mangino,
Speaker 1: go ahead, just one quick. That Randy's right, Like the
Speaker 1: escape route, that makes absolutely no sense when you plan
Speaker 1: these kind of mass casualty attacks. To plan an escape route,
Speaker 1: you don't go in a hotel room. The hotel room
Speaker 1: has one way out, John, And I mean, let's you're
Speaker 1: gonna jump out a window, which you're obviously not gonna do,
Speaker 1: which is the door that It's just another thing about
Speaker 1: this case that is so puzzling and perplexing to anyone
Speaker 1: who's been a law enforcement for fashional. All right, let
Speaker 1: me ask you both this. So we got the timeline
Speaker 1: last night, the shots were first fired by the suspect
Speaker 1: of ten O five. By ten seventeen, you had two
Speaker 1: officers on the thirty second floor. I agree with with
Speaker 1: what the sheriff says, Sheriff Lombardo, that is a phenomenal
Speaker 1: response time under the most difficult of circumstances. I don't
Speaker 1: think you can do any better considering the distance that
Speaker 1: we're talking about from where the shooter was versus where
Speaker 1: he was shooting towards. What are your thoughts, Randy, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm lady asked me this question because not
Speaker 1: five minutes ago, I was given some exclusive information that
Speaker 1: that you're gonna hear right now and uh and no
Speaker 1: one else has has has told this, uh, this this story. UM.
Speaker 1: The reason that the that the response time was so
Speaker 1: good was because there were actually two police officers, a
Speaker 1: field training officer in his trainee who were in Mantally
Speaker 1: Bay taking a report when the shooting took place. Now
Speaker 1: they were with when this happened security that the originally
Speaker 1: came out as the shooting was taking place at the
Speaker 1: at the across the street at the concert. These two officers,
Speaker 1: along with security ran out of the hotel towards where
Speaker 1: the original report of the gunfire, uh the active shooter
Speaker 1: was erroneously given. As they were running out, then people
Speaker 1: had contacted security and said no, that there's the shooter
Speaker 1: is on the thirty first floor. These officers then ran
Speaker 1: with security. Now it's one officer who's a who's a
Speaker 1: fully trained officer and one trainee. They're the ones that
Speaker 1: got to the thirty first floor, and they're the ones
Speaker 1: that were there literally at at ten twelve, not ten seventeen.
Speaker 1: So even this response was even faster. And the officer
Speaker 1: who was who UH was with the security officers, UM there,
Speaker 1: he's the one that that UM wisely, wisely UH set
Speaker 1: up a perimeter and didn't engage because he was afraid
Speaker 1: of of receiving gunfire and he had to protect the unarmed,
Speaker 1: unarmed security people. But he stay. All these are incredible
Speaker 1: stories of heroism and and none of them had on
Speaker 1: swat gear to defend themselves either at that time, and
Speaker 1: they knew it was an automatic weapon at that point.
Speaker 1: All right, stay right there. We'll come back and we'll continue.
Speaker 1: Dan Bongino, Randy Sutton, we're in Vegas today. We'll have
Speaker 1: more with Dan Bongino and Randy Sutton later on. Bill
Speaker 1: O'Reilly joins us and we'll get your calls in straight
Speaker 1: ahead right as we continue. We're in Vegas today, Dan
Speaker 1: Bongino and Randy Sutton is a former Vegas Police Department
Speaker 1: on the veteran and of course former Secret Service Agent
Speaker 1: m yp D. Dan Bongino. All right, Randy, let's go back.
Speaker 1: So they got up there in twelve minutes in they
Speaker 1: got up there ten twelve, ten twelve, the shoot first
Speaker 1: shot was fired. Okay, you're right, ten twelve, so that's
Speaker 1: an even faster time. And they were on the thirty
Speaker 1: first floor. The first shots were fired at ten o five,
Speaker 1: the last shots were fired at ten fifteen, ten minutes
Speaker 1: after and ten seventeen. The officers were on the thirty
Speaker 1: second floor to pick it up from there. Well, actually
Speaker 1: the officers were on on the uh the thirty second
Speaker 1: floor before that, they were, but they were, um, the author,
Speaker 1: the senior officer, made the decision not to approach the
Speaker 1: room because of the automatic gunfire and fully aware that
Speaker 1: that those walls weren't going to stop any of those bullets.
Speaker 1: So he wisely he's the one, he's really a hero here.
Speaker 1: He's the one that made the decision, contacted um, you know,
Speaker 1: the dispatch to get help up there and isolated that
Speaker 1: that whole way until until uh there could be help
Speaker 1: could arrive. Wow, unbelievable. And you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: you think of these guys, they know they have an
Speaker 1: automatic weapon at this particular point. Uh, damn Bongino. You
Speaker 1: know everyone wants to attack the n r A. Well,
Speaker 1: n r A came out today against bump stocks. Can
Speaker 1: you describe that for people that don't understand what they are. Yeah.
Speaker 1: A bump stock is basically a plastic or preformed piece
Speaker 1: that attaches to the stock that butts against the shoulder
Speaker 1: of your shoulders. You're firing a rifle, firing rifle, excuse me.
Speaker 1: And it uses the recoil of the rifle to basically
Speaker 1: push the trigger against your finger rather than the finger
Speaker 1: pushing against the trigger. So it can lead to a
Speaker 1: cycle rate that would resemble an automatic weapon. Some of
Speaker 1: erroneously reported it can convert it to automatic that's factually incorrect.
Speaker 1: An automatic weapon one depression of the trigger, multiple rounds,
Speaker 1: That's not what happens with these. It just leads to
Speaker 1: a higher cycle rate, and that's basically what a bump
Speaker 1: stock is, and enabled him to fire as many rounds
Speaker 1: as he got off. Yeah. Do you support the n
Speaker 1: r A coming out against him? You know, Sean, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna help. I'm just gonna be honest
Speaker 1: with you. I know it's not the PC thing to say. Um,
Speaker 1: but I just don't think it's gonna help to make
Speaker 1: a bump stock with a three D printer take you
Speaker 1: all of about ten minutes if that, I mean you
Speaker 1: can fabricate them on your own. Um. I just don't
Speaker 1: think we can legislate away that evil and men's hearts. Sean,
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of other things we
Speaker 1: can look at, psychotropic drugs, psychological care in the communities,
Speaker 1: but I just don't think we can legislate this way.
Speaker 1: All right, I want to thank you both for being
Speaker 1: with us. Dan Bongino, former Secret Service m y p D.
Speaker 1: Randy Sutton, thirty four year police vet of the Vegas
Speaker 1: Police Department. Thank you both for being with us. We'll
Speaker 1: take a break. I know so many of you want
Speaker 1: to get to the phones here. Eight nine one, Shawn
Speaker 1: is our number. Bill O'Reilly will join us at the
Speaker 1: top of the next hour. Our final night here in Vegas.
Speaker 1: After the show today, we've been invited to the hospital
Speaker 1: where a lot of these patients are being cared for,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna meet a lot of the heroes and
Speaker 1: doctors that save these people's lives. That's coming up exclusively
Speaker 1: Hannity tonight nine Eastern from Vegas on the Fox News Channel.
Speaker 1: You're not a good parent if you have gotten your
Speaker 1: ushant not protecting your family. Were a bad parent if
Speaker 1: you have gotten to the house. We've gotten hundreds of
Speaker 1: kyles saying do something, yes, and we shouldn't make this political.
Speaker 1: Now is the tax? What was your conversation like with him?
Speaker 1: Do you remember when he asked? Yeah, he was asking
Speaker 1: like who played and what we like? He knew that
Speaker 1: a lot of people knew it sounded like fireworks, which
Speaker 1: a lot of people did, and so he was asking
Speaker 1: what I did and where I went? Did he offer
Speaker 1: you words of comfort? Did he say anything that stands
Speaker 1: out to you? He said he was amazing. Where was that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: He was like super nice. He wasn't who we see
Speaker 1: on social media. He was much more comforting. What did
Speaker 1: he say that was so comforting? I don't know, A
Speaker 1: kissed him voice and just the way he was Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right. Those are some of the people that met
Speaker 1: the president at the hospital. We've been invited to actually
Speaker 1: go down today right after this program, and it's an
Speaker 1: honor gonna meet some of the people that have been
Speaker 1: injured and um, maybe some of them want to talk
Speaker 1: to us. It's up to them. I'm not gonna We're
Speaker 1: not making any decisions, but we're gonna go down and
Speaker 1: say hi. I feel very honored to be to be
Speaker 1: invited down there. I can't imagine all the suffering that
Speaker 1: they're going through. Their families are going through, such a
Speaker 1: difficult time for them. One Shawn is a toll free
Speaker 1: telephone number. Then if you have a gun in your house,
Speaker 1: you're irresponsible. Well, well, criminals and evil people. They don't
Speaker 1: obey laws by the very nature of who it is
Speaker 1: they are. So my question, any of these people, and
Speaker 1: you can make your own decision. We live in a
Speaker 1: free society, and with freedom comes responsibility. The the the
Speaker 1: alternative to that is no freedom, and that's not what
Speaker 1: this country is about. With freedom is risk. You drive
Speaker 1: a car. Every time you get in a car, it's
Speaker 1: a risk to yourself and to others. Peep will abuse cars.
Speaker 1: They get in their cars intoxicated or on drugs, and
Speaker 1: sometimes they kill in us some people. In a free society,
Speaker 1: there are risks. You get on an airplane, you're always
Speaker 1: taking a risk. You walk out of the house, you're
Speaker 1: taking a risk. Question is you know, there's no police
Speaker 1: force that is going to get to your house in
Speaker 1: the time needed. If something God forbid happens, it is
Speaker 1: it is mathematically impossible. There are not enough police people
Speaker 1: out there. So the question is do you want to
Speaker 1: be defenseless? Question is what are you going to do?
Speaker 1: All these people that are lecturing us, many of them
Speaker 1: have expensive security systems and and acres and acres of property,
Speaker 1: and their homes are like fortresses. Now we like, for example,
Speaker 1: I have security cameras. Anyone can get security cameras in
Speaker 1: this day and age simply save home security is an
Speaker 1: amazing system, and I think everybody should have a security
Speaker 1: system in this day and age. You get motion detectors,
Speaker 1: glass shattered boom. You know, you're notified immediately. But then
Speaker 1: what happens if it's a home invasion or robbery or
Speaker 1: burglary gone bad, Maybe they didn't think you were at home.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got to ask themselves a question, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do at that point? Now? I've had people that
Speaker 1: have told me I'm just afraid of guns, and you
Speaker 1: know what, that fear is actually healthy. A gun, like
Speaker 1: a car, like anything else, is dangerous and my advice
Speaker 1: to people is, you know, I always say overcome your fears.
Speaker 1: But the best way to overcome a fear would be
Speaker 1: not that I'm going to go out and get the
Speaker 1: biggest gun. What's what's the name that you're like Canada?
Speaker 1: What going to your? People have asked me. I said, well,
Speaker 1: my answer to you is what gun would you like
Speaker 1: to be trained in the use of. If you don't
Speaker 1: want to really become proficient at using firearms, you can
Speaker 1: get a shotgun. I'll stop somebody. I really don't need
Speaker 1: great aim in that particular case, just literally aim right
Speaker 1: at them and fire. But what are you gonna do
Speaker 1: if somebody has a weapon and they're coming for your children?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? If somebody has a weapon
Speaker 1: and a coming for your house? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: As a husband if there's two or three people and
Speaker 1: they're assaulting your wife and daughter and son, and you said, well,
Speaker 1: hannah Y, that's not gonna happen to me. Yeah, to
Speaker 1: tell the people that it's happened to is evil. Okay,
Speaker 1: As a country, we've got a nuclear arsenal to defend
Speaker 1: our liberty, our freedom. Somebody comes into your house, your space,
Speaker 1: wants to commit an atrocity against your family, kill your family,
Speaker 1: rape your family. You have a right to defend yourself. Now,
Speaker 1: I've been trained in the use of safety and a
Speaker 1: firearms since I'm eleven years old, and I practice as
Speaker 1: often as I can. But considering thirty years in radio,
Speaker 1: pretty severe hearing law, so I've got issues of ringing
Speaker 1: in my ear when I shoot a lot. So I
Speaker 1: don't shoot a lot like I used to, but I
Speaker 1: stay proficient in the use of it. Every every gun
Speaker 1: I have is locked in a way that you can't
Speaker 1: get it. I can tell you where they are, and
Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to get my weapons.
Speaker 1: So I just say to you, are you're gonna say,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come out with a baseball bat? Baseball a
Speaker 1: bat is meaningless against the gun. You're gonna pick up
Speaker 1: the kitchen knife. Kitchen knife is not gonna work against
Speaker 1: the gun. You're gonna learn martial arts. I'm in training
Speaker 1: five and a half years. It's not gonna work. If
Speaker 1: somebody's got a gun at a decent distance. If it's
Speaker 1: close range, I may have a shot, but it's very difficult.
Speaker 1: If the guy points a pistol right at my head.
Speaker 1: I'll know what to do if he puts it at
Speaker 1: my back. I'll know what to do. If he puts
Speaker 1: it on my chest and it's within range, I'll know
Speaker 1: what to do. If he's got distance between me and him,
Speaker 1: he's got me. What are you gonna do to protect
Speaker 1: your family? Ask that question. Now, Let's say you are
Speaker 1: afraid of a firearm. I I would urge to do this.
Speaker 1: And I know people in the n r A. They
Speaker 1: always get demon us. I know people that own gun ranges.
Speaker 1: You know what, they're more than happy to do. Don't
Speaker 1: feel embarrassed that you've never handled a gun. So I've
Speaker 1: never handled a gun. I'm afraid of a gun. I'm
Speaker 1: interested in maybe having one for the safety of my family,
Speaker 1: if God forbid that happens. And but I would have
Speaker 1: to get trained in the use of one. And you
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do. They're gonna be more than
Speaker 1: happy to share knowledge they have accumulated over a lifetime
Speaker 1: with you so that you can safely and securely, you know,
Speaker 1: be proficient in the use of that weapon, the safety
Speaker 1: procedures for that weapon. I mean, let's say you're thirty
Speaker 1: years old and you've never driven a car. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be embarrassed to say I've never driven a car. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe you're a little embarrassed, but somebody's gonna say, no,
Speaker 1: this is easy. We'll show you how to do it.
Speaker 1: We'll work through it. By the way, I've been teaching
Speaker 1: my two kids to drive. You need to drink as
Speaker 1: soon as you get home. It is a It is
Speaker 1: a chilling experience. I remember when I learned. You know,
Speaker 1: my my mother worked at a jail. My father was
Speaker 1: in family court. They both had firearms, and they didn't
Speaker 1: have a fingerprint safely. I had. And what I would
Speaker 1: do is, you know, and I'm I'm a young kid.
Speaker 1: They saw pretty quickly I was fascinated with that gun.
Speaker 1: So what they did is they took me down or
Speaker 1: range and I sat down, and we pointed the gun
Speaker 1: down range, and we went over all the safety procedures,
Speaker 1: what happens of a gun jams, how do you properly
Speaker 1: load a weapon, never point a weapon at anybody going,
Speaker 1: you know, right on down the line. And so I
Speaker 1: sit there, and I sit there and we go over
Speaker 1: all the safety procedures in great detail. The guy was
Speaker 1: very stern. I remember it like it was yesterday. And
Speaker 1: at the end of the lesson, I'm thinking, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get to fire this gun that didn't happen, And
Speaker 1: he goes to me, all right, when you come back
Speaker 1: next week, if you remember everything I told you, I'll
Speaker 1: let you. I'll let you shoot targets, and I remember,
Speaker 1: all right. Let's get to our phones as we say
Speaker 1: hi to Lee in Austin, Texas. Lee, Hi, how are
Speaker 1: you glad you called? I said, I was listening yesterday,
Speaker 1: and yet a lot of folks on who were talking
Speaker 1: about the fact that you you cannot prevent uh these
Speaker 1: types of shootings, and I just I felt they need
Speaker 1: to give you a call. As someone on the inside
Speaker 1: who's working with law enforcement. UM, we are working on
Speaker 1: a solution, uh, and we are going to be able
Speaker 1: to prevent these things from occurring. Uh. It's it's not
Speaker 1: going to come in the form of laws or even technology.
Speaker 1: It's all based in in understanding what are those observable
Speaker 1: behaviors that match the specific psychological of stages that someone
Speaker 1: go us through when they go from Gee, that guy
Speaker 1: would never do that to oh my god, I can't
Speaker 1: believe that guy did that. Um, and uh, we're not
Speaker 1: quite there yet. I mean we're still pouring through tons
Speaker 1: and tons of case files. Um, but we're going to
Speaker 1: be able to prevent these things. And the answer lies
Speaker 1: in an understanding of of of behavior. It's it's all
Speaker 1: based in behavioral science. We've used this methodology to prevent
Speaker 1: crimes in other areas of of of American life that
Speaker 1: were previously thought unpreventable. I don't doubt all that's gonna help.
Speaker 1: But remember, law enforcement, they have to be right a
Speaker 1: pent of the time, and these guys just need to
Speaker 1: penetrate once. I I absolutely agree with you. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're never gonna prevent of everything. Um, but this, uh,
Speaker 1: we've seen it time and time again where there are
Speaker 1: very specific behaviors that are common in all of these cases, uh,
Speaker 1: that occur over a period of time, and they are
Speaker 1: observable and they get reported, but nobody connects the dots.
Speaker 1: And what we're working with law enforcement on is how
Speaker 1: do you connect all those dots together so that someone
Speaker 1: knows to say, Okay, well, we've had a level one
Speaker 1: behavior here, and a level three behavior here, in a
Speaker 1: level of five behavior here, we see a progression of
Speaker 1: behaviors somebody needs to go pay a visit and and
Speaker 1: see what's going on. Uh, And that's really the key. Listen,
Speaker 1: we we're gonna get to the bottom of this mystery.
Speaker 1: There is something profound underneath this, and I have faith
Speaker 1: that we'll get to it. These things sometimes take time,
Speaker 1: but I'm confident that we're going to get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of it. Anyway, Lee, thank you appreciate it. One sewn.
Speaker 1: Robert is in South Carolina. Line next on the Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity Show. What's up, Robert, how are you glad you called? Sir? Hey, Sean,
Speaker 1: how you doing a long time listener, first time caller.
Speaker 1: I think I've been listening to you since I was
Speaker 1: a kid on the way to school. But um, and
Speaker 1: it was a combat veteran. I wanted to just kind
Speaker 1: of dispel some of the rumors that might be out there.
Speaker 1: And I know, being in firefights, especially it's your first
Speaker 1: time things happen where everybody gets chaotic and you think
Speaker 1: you see something stuff whatever. But anyways, UM, a couple
Speaker 1: of things. One is seen videos that people saying there
Speaker 1: was a flash. Uh, there were flashes on the fourth floor,
Speaker 1: and so the shooter was really on the fourth floor
Speaker 1: and all that kind stuff was First of all, it's
Speaker 1: the city of Light. Second of all, a lot of
Speaker 1: those weapons systems, you're not gonna see a muzzle. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna see a muzzle flash from that far away.
Speaker 1: Fours just not really gonna happen. And then, um, you know,
Speaker 1: it could be a fire alarm on the fourth floor.
Speaker 1: Nobody really knows. Second of all the videos, somebody coming
Speaker 1: up through the floor. They think somebody was on the
Speaker 1: ground floor firing. Um, not really seeing any evidence of that,
Speaker 1: but just you see somebody. It's not the movies. When
Speaker 1: you see a large flash doesn't mean that it's a
Speaker 1: it's a rightful it's not really reality. And then another thing, Um,
Speaker 1: I know when people are getting firefights, I go, I
Speaker 1: get if people kind of go crazy and they don't
Speaker 1: really know what's going on. They think it's multiple shooters.
Speaker 1: But when you listen to the video when I saw
Speaker 1: it for the first time, I mean, I was shocked
Speaker 1: to see that on the streets of the United States.
Speaker 1: When you hear for the first time, you hear echoes
Speaker 1: and you think it's two shooters. You think they're talking
Speaker 1: guns as they call it. A lot of times given
Speaker 1: the advantage point being that far away, the acoustics of
Speaker 1: that large type space bouncing up the building is gonna
Speaker 1: sound like it's multiple rifles what In fact, most of
Speaker 1: the time it's usually want so. Um. And then the
Speaker 1: last thing I want to say is that when it
Speaker 1: comes to this guy having you know, twenty seven rivals
Speaker 1: or or fifteen rifles or whatever in the in the
Speaker 1: hotel room, I think that's really irrelevant. The guy's not
Speaker 1: rambo hips firing him two forties off the tips and
Speaker 1: trying to get tight shot groups or whatever with the
Speaker 1: bandana around his head. It's one gun, one weapon, one
Speaker 1: man firing. It doesn't matter if he has one or
Speaker 1: twenty seven. It's irrelevant. She's only firing one at a time.
Speaker 1: All Right, good points you're making here. Um I I
Speaker 1: really want to get to the bottom of this. We
Speaker 1: gotta get to the bottom of this, all right. As
Speaker 1: we continue from Vegas, it's the Shawn Hannity Show. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get another quick call then we'll get to Bill
Speaker 1: Riley here from Vegas today. All right, UM, let's say
Speaker 1: hi to Brian Is in Tulsa, k RMG. What's up, Brian?
Speaker 1: How are you sir, great Sean, how are you. I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm We're hanging in here, and the people of this
Speaker 1: city have suffered greatly. I'll tell you that I can
Speaker 1: understand that. And I just want to tell you it's
Speaker 1: a pleasure speaking with you, and uh, thank you for
Speaker 1: taking my call. Thank you. A couple of things that
Speaker 1: I just wanted, a couple of things that I wanted
Speaker 1: to say. It's just based on what you were talking
Speaker 1: about yesterday and a little bit today. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: the celebrities that are out there nowadays, they're trying to
Speaker 1: put their two cents for this liberal celebrities, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: bashing everybody in saying that there has to be gun laws. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just absolutely ridiculous. I mean, in regards to the
Speaker 1: Vegas shooting just recently obviously is where you're at. Um,
Speaker 1: it's pretty simple. Gun control laws are not the answer.
Speaker 1: There are laws for everything, drugs, killing rate, that, all
Speaker 1: kinds of criminal activity, and guess what people still do
Speaker 1: those on a regular basis. Changing the honest Americans constitutional
Speaker 1: right to keep in bear arms will only make these
Speaker 1: people that are evil more powerful. That's what I believe. Listen,
Speaker 1: if you believe in freedom. You've got to know something
Speaker 1: in this society. You you have to take responsibility for
Speaker 1: everything in your life. That means for your food, your clothing,
Speaker 1: your lodging. And even though we have great policemen and
Speaker 1: first responders, I take responsibility for the safety of myself
Speaker 1: and my family first. It's great if they can help
Speaker 1: and they get there in time, but a lot of
Speaker 1: times that's never going to be the case. Anyway, Thank
Speaker 1: you so much. Good call. Appreciate it. When we come back,
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly News Round Up Information Overload our on the
Speaker 1: Shawan Hannity Show. As we continue from News Talk k
Speaker 1: dw N the fifty thousand one blowtorch of freedom and
Speaker 1: free speech in Vegas on behalf of the grateful nation.
Speaker 1: Milani and I thank each and every one of you
Speaker 1: in law enforcement. In the depths of horror, we will
Speaker 1: always find hope in the men and women who risk
Speaker 1: their lives for hours. We pray for the recovery of
Speaker 1: the injured and those injured officers who so bravely threw
Speaker 1: themselves into danger when duty called, and we grieve the
Speaker 1: loss of the law enforcement personnel who were killed in
Speaker 1: this vicious attack here on Earth. We are blessed to
Speaker 1: be surrounded by heroes. As one eyewitness recounted, this week,
Speaker 1: while everyone else was crouching, police officers were standing up
Speaker 1: as targets, just trying to direct people and tell them
Speaker 1: where to go. The officers were standing up in the
Speaker 1: line of fire to help those in danger and to
Speaker 1: find out where those horrible shots we're coming from. Words
Speaker 1: can not describe the bravery that the whole world witnessed
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. Every hero saved so many lives, and
Speaker 1: believe me, a grateful nation thanks you. Our souls are
Speaker 1: stricken with grief for every American who lost a husband
Speaker 1: or wife, a mother or a father, a son or
Speaker 1: a daughter. We know that your sorrow feels endless. We
Speaker 1: stand together to help you carry your pain. But we
Speaker 1: cannot be defined by the evil that threatens us or
Speaker 1: the violence that incites such terror. We're defined by our love,
Speaker 1: are caring, and our courage. In the months ahead, we
Speaker 1: will all have to wrestle with the horror of what
Speaker 1: has unfolded this week, but we will struggle through it together.
Speaker 1: We will endure the pain together, and we will overcome
Speaker 1: together as Americans. Right News round up information overload hour
Speaker 1: Here on the Shawn Hannity Show. We're in Vegas, one
Speaker 1: last day News Talk seven k d W n our
Speaker 1: fifty thousand want blowtorts, your freedom and free speech. You know,
Speaker 1: since I've been here, I have had the opportunity to
Speaker 1: meet many of these first responders, many of the SWAT
Speaker 1: team members, many of the police responders, many of the
Speaker 1: heroes of this whole thing. You know, this happens every time.
Speaker 1: In the midst of inexplicable, unexplainable evil, you have people
Speaker 1: that just it brings the absolute best out of people.
Speaker 1: You know. I had this young girl on TV last night.
Speaker 1: She had just finished chemotherapy and about a month or
Speaker 1: so ago, and like everybody else, she was with her
Speaker 1: mom and she was trying to run and because of
Speaker 1: the chemotherapy and you know, literally knocks your half dead.
Speaker 1: And this young courageous girls trying to get out and
Speaker 1: she just couldn't make it physically. And one of the
Speaker 1: first responders picked this girl up and carried her to safety. Um,
Speaker 1: We're going to the hospital later today to meet some
Speaker 1: of the the people that are there. Found out that
Speaker 1: some people were fans of the show, and I'm I'm
Speaker 1: absolutely honored to be able to go over there and
Speaker 1: meet some of them. And you look at what the
Speaker 1: police did in the twelve minutes or eleven minutes it
Speaker 1: took him to get there. Not exactly easy to get
Speaker 1: up to the thirty second floor. And you know the
Speaker 1: guy has a rapid fires machine guns type of weapon
Speaker 1: that he's gonna turn on you the second you open
Speaker 1: that door. But they go in there bravely for all
Speaker 1: of us. It's incredible. Uh, it's incredible courage. They show.
Speaker 1: We had some of the doctors on TV last night
Speaker 1: on Hannity. These guys are amazing. I mean stories of
Speaker 1: people putting their own finger inside a wound to stop
Speaker 1: the bleeding for some people so that they can survive
Speaker 1: and and they're not gonna need their legs amputated. Amazing
Speaker 1: stories of heroism, incredible courage, um under the most difficult conditions.
Speaker 1: Joining us now to talk about this and more. Bill
Speaker 1: O'Reilly is with us, and uh, Bill of course wrote
Speaker 1: his new his latest number one New York Times bestselling book.
Speaker 1: It's called Killing England. And Mr O'Reilly, sir, how are you.
Speaker 1: We're glad to have you back. And I want to
Speaker 1: say this as I look at the New York Times
Speaker 1: bestseller list and I see you at number one and
Speaker 1: Hillary number two. Well, i'd be lying if I didn't,
Speaker 1: if I said I wasn't anything but ecstatic and happy
Speaker 1: that you beat her. Yeah. I don't think she's really
Speaker 1: thrilled about it up in Chappaqua. And it wouldn't happen
Speaker 1: if not for your highlighting the book and on TV
Speaker 1: and radio. So I appreciate that. And I think people
Speaker 1: now are starting to turn inward to their country. As
Speaker 1: you just pointed out, Um, we're a noble nation. And
Speaker 1: I think that that people are having enough of the
Speaker 1: America bashing. And even though this massacre in Vegas reflects
Speaker 1: poorly on the country overseas, the heroism that all of
Speaker 1: us are witnessing is um almost overwhelming. So people want
Speaker 1: to know how we developed our country, who was in charge, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin,
Speaker 1: who they were as people. So they're responding to the
Speaker 1: book very very well. And um, it ties in even
Speaker 1: though it's a book about the revolutionary Moore, it ties
Speaker 1: in what's happening today. And um, I wanted to make
Speaker 1: one more point. Um, people who don't follow television industry.
Speaker 1: They don't know this, but it just struck me how
Speaker 1: dominant your program on television is this week UM and
Speaker 1: the America bashing networks And they've never admitted, they just wouldn't,
Speaker 1: but they are, you know, they Bush bashing Trump, okay,
Speaker 1: but it's you know, Black Lives Matter is good, the
Speaker 1: NFL dissenters are good, and all of that, on and
Speaker 1: on and on. Nobody's watching them. Nobody's watching them. And
Speaker 1: this is a breaking news story. This is hard news,
Speaker 1: not analysis. So why why our MSNBC and Sean and
Speaker 1: not getting the audience? And it's because I believe that
Speaker 1: people don't trust them. They don't tell them, tell the truth. Bill,
Speaker 1: How could they trust them? They colluded with Hillary Clinton?
Speaker 1: Is this to me was one of the great underreported stories,
Speaker 1: and that was, Oh, we had evidence through wiki leaks
Speaker 1: of collusion with just about every major news network, cable network,
Speaker 1: and major newspaper in this country. And then of course
Speaker 1: we've gone how many how many months now it's almost
Speaker 1: a year of Russia, Russia, Russia, and so often they've
Speaker 1: been proven wrong and you never hear oops, We're sorry,
Speaker 1: here's the correction. Will put it on a one above
Speaker 1: the fold. That's never gonna happen, and I just never
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I think journalisms that doing that, it's more
Speaker 1: profound than that. Hannity, Look, you and me and most
Speaker 1: people listening to your radio program right now are very
Speaker 1: interested in politics and and what happens on a daily
Speaker 1: basis in Washington and around the country. Okay, but the
Speaker 1: majority of American or not, they're dancing with the stars,
Speaker 1: are watching the game. Uh, they're playing on their machines,
Speaker 1: a chasing the kids around the house. This story in Vegas,
Speaker 1: this engages everybody. Everybody. You don't have to be a
Speaker 1: news watcher to tune in to find out what is happening.
Speaker 1: So why aren't they tuning in to CNN and MSNBC.
Speaker 1: They don't know how how ridiculous, Uh, at least lanted
Speaker 1: they are. You know, they heard it, but it's not
Speaker 1: an experience. But I think that people are wising up
Speaker 1: that they're not it's overkilled. The left has gone way
Speaker 1: too far, and most Americans say, you know what, we're
Speaker 1: not going to get the real story there, so we'll
Speaker 1: go to Hannity and the other programs on Fox, or
Speaker 1: will go someplace else. We're not going over there. You know,
Speaker 1: when you think back when we started the Fox News
Speaker 1: Channel and we were there from day one together, nobody
Speaker 1: thought we would succeed. I mean we were actually laughed
Speaker 1: at the first review of Hannity and Combs was Alan
Speaker 1: Colmbs looks Funuria and Sean Hannity as a bad haircut
Speaker 1: and shouldn't be on television. A buddy of yours, Vernon Kay,
Speaker 1: wrote that I don't know what he wrote about you
Speaker 1: at the time and what I'm se and this does
Speaker 1: really dovetail into your book because you took a very
Speaker 1: interesting approach in killing England and that it's the major
Speaker 1: events and battles and conflicts during the Revolutionary War told
Speaker 1: from the perspective of Washington and Franklin and some others.
Speaker 1: You never painted them as as these heroes that were
Speaker 1: infallible or perfect people, because none of them were. And
Speaker 1: we're living in a time bill where institutions are under fire.
Speaker 1: You know, look at the whole Black Lives Matter movement.
Speaker 1: Look at Colin Kaepernick is supporting a murdering thug dictator Castro.
Speaker 1: He's wearing socks that de pick police officers as pigs,
Speaker 1: and he begins this, this movement of kneeling. Then it
Speaker 1: gets picked up in the entire NFL during our national anthem.
Speaker 1: But they'll stand in England for God Save the Queen.
Speaker 1: And then we have the battle over monuments and memorials,
Speaker 1: and let's rip them all down, and let's erase America's history,
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's forget that there are heroes when
Speaker 1: evil does come amongst us. And it just seems like
Speaker 1: like there's a large part of the country that wants
Speaker 1: to rip these institutions apart. I'm not sure the word
Speaker 1: large is accurate. I think there's a hardcore who believe
Speaker 1: America is a bad country. White supremists. That's that's what
Speaker 1: they're getting at. You know that Washington and Jefferson and
Speaker 1: Franklin were white supremists, So the constitution that they fought
Speaker 1: to impose should be thrown out the window because they're
Speaker 1: white supremists. That that's the whole end game here. But
Speaker 1: America back then, a lot like America now, was divided.
Speaker 1: Americans when the Revolutionary War started didn't want to separate
Speaker 1: from the king. They wanted to stay with England. And
Speaker 1: if families broke up because of it, Benjamin Franklin put
Speaker 1: his own son, William Franklin, the governor of New Jersey,
Speaker 1: in prison. Um and never there was never a Dayton
Speaker 1: between the two. So now we have a division, but
Speaker 1: I put the number now at But why why it
Speaker 1: feels bigger is because the media is behind and sympathetic
Speaker 1: to the far left. Yeah, they glorify it. I mean,
Speaker 1: can you imagine this idiot, Marcus Peters on Monday Night
Speaker 1: football after the massacre and after all the heroism that
Speaker 1: you pointed out still doesn't stand up in Kansas City
Speaker 1: or the instant What what is wrong with you? All right?
Speaker 1: You hate cops? Is that at Marcus? What is it?
Speaker 1: If I were the general manager of that team, Marcus
Speaker 1: would have been suspended just for offending Americans on the
Speaker 1: day of that massacre. And you know, I think, well,
Speaker 1: guys like you and me, we're making our stand. And
Speaker 1: we talked about this on television. We're making our stand. Now.
Speaker 1: If you think it's a bad country, we're gonna challenge you.
Speaker 1: If you do on toward dishonest things, if you pay
Speaker 1: people to lie about other people, we're going to expose you.
Speaker 1: And that's what happened in the Revolution. Washington, Jefferson. These
Speaker 1: guys stepped up with their own lives at risk every
Speaker 1: single day because they believed in something. And I'm trying
Speaker 1: to mobilize Americans to learn about that and do the
Speaker 1: same thing. We can save the country. Uh stay right there.
Speaker 1: You said something that in the last interview we had together,
Speaker 1: and I think dovetails perfectly into where you're going. You've
Speaker 1: got people like Michael Moore and Brett Stevens. They want
Speaker 1: to abolish the Second Amendment. And I'll get your reaction
Speaker 1: to that well. More with Bill O'Reilly. His book now
Speaker 1: number one on the New York Times bestseller list. It's
Speaker 1: called Killing England. We've got a link to it up
Speaker 1: on hannity dot Com. It's The Shawan Hannity Show. As
Speaker 1: we continue from Vegas, Your calls, your comments coming up next.
Speaker 1: More with Bill O'Reilly. First right, as we continue Shawn
Speaker 1: Hannity Show, We're in Vegas. Final day here today. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be going right over to the hospital immediately following
Speaker 1: this program and meeting some of the people that have
Speaker 1: been injured here, which is extremely humbling. When I met
Speaker 1: this man last night and married thirty two years, is
Speaker 1: at the concert with his wife holding her hand, and
Speaker 1: she died in his arms. I I nearly lost it.
Speaker 1: It's but probably the hardest interview, one of the hardest
Speaker 1: interviews I've ever done. Bill O'Reilly is with us. His
Speaker 1: book is now number one on the New York Times list. Um,
Speaker 1: you know we're talking about this hardcore left. You put
Speaker 1: the number at about of Americans. I would argue that
Speaker 1: might be an accurate number, but the media is certainly
Speaker 1: a hundred percent hard left, or nine percent hard left.
Speaker 1: I argue journalism is dead in America. And then you
Speaker 1: have a bunch of people that just aren't really informed
Speaker 1: and are susceptible to bumper stickers and slogans and the
Speaker 1: playbook that the left plays every election season. But last
Speaker 1: time you were on, you talked about how ultimately the left,
Speaker 1: the hard left, would want to get rid of our constitution. Now,
Speaker 1: Larry O'Connor wrote a column about how Michael Moore is
Speaker 1: calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Brett Stevens
Speaker 1: is now with the New York Times. He's supposed to
Speaker 1: be their their lone conservative voice, and he's not a conservative.
Speaker 1: Once worked for the Wall Street Journal at least he's
Speaker 1: saying the same thing. If they get to that document bill,
Speaker 1: it's over. It's not gonna happen. You need three quarters
Speaker 1: of the states to ratify um uh an amendment and
Speaker 1: being removed from the Constitution, and that will happen at all.
Speaker 1: And most Americans are, according to all the polls, they
Speaker 1: want the ability to defend themselves. UM. They don't believe
Speaker 1: the government should have the power to seize anything uh.
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's going to change, because if
Speaker 1: you're a smart American, you know that self reliance is
Speaker 1: the key to freedom, and that if you live in
Speaker 1: Montana or Wyoming or one of these states where there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of police presents because it's so vast,
Speaker 1: you need you need weapon read to protect your property
Speaker 1: and yourself. And even in places like Chicago where most
Speaker 1: of the gun violence is taking place, the laws they
Speaker 1: are extremely stringent against guns, they don't work. So the
Speaker 1: facts say that any kind of mass movement like Michael
Speaker 1: Moore would want, isn't going to happen. What should happen
Speaker 1: is that there are there are things that the authorities
Speaker 1: of both state and federal can do to protect public
Speaker 1: safety better and two of them are these number one
Speaker 1: And we found this out on Bill O'Reilly dot com.
Speaker 1: It was almost stunning. And if you are buying a
Speaker 1: mass amount of weapons legally, like this assassin did in Vegas,
Speaker 1: that is transmitted to the FBI into a big database,
Speaker 1: but it's not flagged. There's nobody looking at it. So
Speaker 1: it's there, but who's looking at it? So this guy's
Speaker 1: got fifty high powered weapons bought in a year and
Speaker 1: the FBI doesn't know it. That's insane. Surely they have
Speaker 1: the technology if something's out of the ordinary that they
Speaker 1: are pinned. Hey, look at this in Nevada. Maybe we
Speaker 1: should send a couple of agents out to talk to
Speaker 1: this guy. Why he's got fifty high powered weapons. What's
Speaker 1: the reason he's not arrested. You don't confiscate, but you,
Speaker 1: just as they're doing with Islamic terrorism, you serve ail,
Speaker 1: You investigate Number one. We could do that, FBI has
Speaker 1: to do that. Number two we got. We don't have
Speaker 1: time for number two. And and I'll tell you what,
Speaker 1: if you want to stay through the break, I'll hold
Speaker 1: you over. We'll take a break, we'll come back. I
Speaker 1: hate cutting people off, but we do have the constraints
Speaker 1: of time eight nine one sean. Final moments with Bill
Speaker 1: O'Reilly coming up. Then we're gonna get to your calls
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine one sean as we continue. Many thanks
Speaker 1: to all our friends out here in Vegas News Talk
Speaker 1: seven twenty k d W n Our fifty thousand. What
Speaker 1: blow torch of freedom and free speech. Hannity tonight, remember
Speaker 1: our new time. Nine eastern. We've got an amazing show
Speaker 1: for you. We're going down to the hospital. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk to some of those people that were victims of
Speaker 1: this horrible shooting. How are they doing. We'll check in
Speaker 1: with them and the doctors and the nurses that save
Speaker 1: their lives. UM, that story needs to be told. Nine eastern.
Speaker 1: Hannity Fox will continue. Look at this, I mean you
Speaker 1: look at the weapon obtaining um, different amounts of tanner
Speaker 1: right of ailable. Um, do you think this was all
Speaker 1: accomplished on his own self value? Face value? You got
Speaker 1: to make the assumption he had to have some help
Speaker 1: at some point, and we want to ensure that that's
Speaker 1: the answer. Maybe he's a super guy. Maybe he's you know,
Speaker 1: super yahoo, um that had was working out all this
Speaker 1: on his own. UM. But it would be hard for
Speaker 1: me to believe that. And to that we need to ask.
Speaker 1: And there here's the reason why put put one and
Speaker 1: one together, two and two together. Another residence in Reno
Speaker 1: with several firearms, okay, electronics and everything else associated with
Speaker 1: large amounts of AMMO. A place in Mesquit. We know
Speaker 1: that he had a girlfriend. Do you think this is
Speaker 1: all self facing? Individuals are just um without talking to somebody.
Speaker 1: It was sequestered amongst themselves. I mean, come on, folks,
Speaker 1: all right. That's the Clark County Sheriff, Joseph Lombardo, saying
Speaker 1: that he assumes the shooter had some help in some
Speaker 1: way matter of form. Where still waiting for information about
Speaker 1: something about the background of this guy. The girlfriend thinks
Speaker 1: he was the greatest thing since slice bread. I have
Speaker 1: my own suspicions on that matter, and over time, I
Speaker 1: think the American people will discover that there's something, some motivation,
Speaker 1: some reason that somebody did this beyond just he snapped.
Speaker 1: It was way too much premeditation in the case. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, one interesting thing that was said. I mentioned
Speaker 1: last night that I talked to Tony Berditas. Tony Berditas
Speaker 1: was married thirty two years to his wife, Denise. He's
Speaker 1: an army veteran, and I asked him what he thought
Speaker 1: about all this discussion about the Second Amendment, and he
Speaker 1: said he would never relinquish his Second Amendment rights. His
Speaker 1: wife died in his arms. They were holding hands at
Speaker 1: a concert. She got shot in the back of the head,
Speaker 1: died instantaneously. They're just the saddest thing, so unnecessary. And
Speaker 1: for those of you that doubt evil exists, what happened
Speaker 1: here in Vegas was evil. There's a lot of darkness
Speaker 1: in the world. There's a lot of evil in the world.
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly continues with us as number one best selling
Speaker 1: book in the New York Times, Killing England and Bill,
Speaker 1: I want I didn't want to cut you off. Why
Speaker 1: don't you go back. It's very very nice of you.
Speaker 1: I'll make this point quick because I know you've got
Speaker 1: a lot to do. We discovered on Bill O'Reilly dot
Speaker 1: com where we were told, okay, that a Yankee stadium
Speaker 1: where you and I have been many many times every game,
Speaker 1: they have snipers above the stadium, snipers n y p
Speaker 1: D snipers. I was shocked and the security expert he
Speaker 1: told us that was a former FBI agent, and he said,
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna have to happen in mass gatherings, that
Speaker 1: the SWAT teams on the local police are going to
Speaker 1: have to deploy snipers around the concerts, around the games,
Speaker 1: just so they can react instantly if there's a terror incident.
Speaker 1: So that's what I wanted to tell you. That's the
Speaker 1: second thing that we learned, and I think it makes
Speaker 1: damn good sense. I also think Bill I would add
Speaker 1: to this in schools, We've had a lot of shootings
Speaker 1: in schools and so called gun free zones. I would
Speaker 1: love every school in the country to have an ex
Speaker 1: military retired police officer in the school. If somebody goes
Speaker 1: in there, you got a fighting chance that they can
Speaker 1: save the lives of these kids. And it has met
Speaker 1: that idea is met with fierce resistance, and I, frankly
Speaker 1: have never understood it. We have one school shooting after another.
Speaker 1: You know. The other thing is is, you know all
Speaker 1: these people on the left, You know what these hypocrites
Speaker 1: are like. You know, if you you may have been
Speaker 1: to the Oscars or one of these big red carpet events.
Speaker 1: I've never been to one of my life, but you
Speaker 1: can see all the security that is there. All of
Speaker 1: them have their own arm security guards. They live in
Speaker 1: what we would describe as fortresses because they're so important
Speaker 1: and they can afford it because they're all multi multi millionaires.
Speaker 1: The average person that you know, they're lucky if they
Speaker 1: can afford the six hundred dollar clock that they're going
Speaker 1: to buy to protect their family on their own property.
Speaker 1: So all of these people that we keep hearing from
Speaker 1: that politicize this, their first reaction was to politicize this.
Speaker 1: You know, they seem to have an awful lot of
Speaker 1: good security for themselves, and it seems like it's the
Speaker 1: hard working men and women in this country that work hard,
Speaker 1: played by the rules, pay their taxes, and obey the laws,
Speaker 1: or they're left to fend for themselves. That's what makes
Speaker 1: the Chicago's situations such as scandal. But these are poor
Speaker 1: people getting terrorized by these gangs, these armed gangs, and
Speaker 1: having their children have to witness these murders every single
Speaker 1: day on the streets in these poor neighborhoods. They are
Speaker 1: no protection. And this is the best example that anybody
Speaker 1: could ever have. When you hear someone say, oh, the
Speaker 1: government will protect you, so you don't have a right
Speaker 1: to arm yourself because the government will provide security for you.
Speaker 1: Just go to the South side of Chicago and look,
Speaker 1: this has been going on for seven years, people with protection.
Speaker 1: In the course of Obama's presidency, thirty nine people died
Speaker 1: in his adopted home state. Eighteen thousand shootings in the
Speaker 1: last six years of Obama's presidency in Chicago. And you know,
Speaker 1: we should have deployed the National Guard for crying out loud.
Speaker 1: And I don't think Obama mentioned Chicago more than three
Speaker 1: times in his presidency. Nope, didn't make a big deal
Speaker 1: out of it. And everybody should know that the stock
Speaker 1: thing that turned semi automatics into automatics was okay during
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. Alright, Bell, we really appreciate you staying
Speaker 1: over his book number one on the New York Times list.
Speaker 1: It's calling Killing England. It's on Hannity dot com. Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your time. It's always a pleasure, and
Speaker 1: congratulations on the success. Thanks you all. We'll see you soon.
Speaker 1: One Shawn told free telephone numbers. We continue from Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get our busy telephones here as we
Speaker 1: say hi to Glenn is in Colorado on this Thursday. Glenn,
Speaker 1: Welcome to Vegas. Glad you called, Thank you for taking
Speaker 1: my call. Call Sean. Sorry. I hope I make it
Speaker 1: through this. UM. My kids are can't call them kids.
Speaker 1: Their young adults were both at the concert and we
Speaker 1: are very fortunate that they were able to get out
Speaker 1: without being shot. But unfortunately, UM, two people right next
Speaker 1: to them were. And what I want to do is
Speaker 1: kind of, UM, have maybe people think a little bit more.
Speaker 1: And our prayers are out for the people that have
Speaker 1: lost people in this horrific experience. UM, and our prayers
Speaker 1: are out to the people that are in the hospital.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that we're really talking too much
Speaker 1: about Our prayers need to be for everyone that was
Speaker 1: at that venue. They all were scarred. UM, they've they've
Speaker 1: have been through something that I don't think we wanted
Speaker 1: any of our kids to go through. And yet it's
Speaker 1: it's going to be in their memory forever. UM. My
Speaker 1: kids are gonna go who therapy or counseling, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you want to call it, uh, in order
Speaker 1: to get through this, because obviously I don't have the
Speaker 1: ability to do it. When they need to go through
Speaker 1: a professionals because that can help them step through something
Speaker 1: that they've seen. My daughter probably feels so bad about it.
Speaker 1: Of of being standing next to her husband up in
Speaker 1: the front and had actually moved over to the other
Speaker 1: side of him, and another gentleman kind of took up
Speaker 1: where she was at, and um, that person was shot
Speaker 1: and hit the ground, and the person next to him
Speaker 1: was shot and hit the ground. She said. Neither one
Speaker 1: of him moved and all he could think about was run. Um.
Speaker 1: We're so thankful to have first responders that can run
Speaker 1: in a direction that is opposite of what um human
Speaker 1: nature is, which had run from from danger and they're
Speaker 1: running into it. They they're terribly remorse now thinking that
Speaker 1: they could have done something. But you know, I think
Speaker 1: the best thing they could have done. Of course, I
Speaker 1: tell my son in law, unt, you got my daughter
Speaker 1: out of there, you know. Uh. But it's it's we
Speaker 1: just need to think about everybody that was in it
Speaker 1: and pray for everybody. I think. Let me, let me
Speaker 1: let me say a few things to you. Number one,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sorry that your daughter went through this. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry everybody had to go through this. I have I
Speaker 1: can't even explain it. Being here, I've had the same feeling,
Speaker 1: and it's not on the scale obviously that I had
Speaker 1: after nine eleven. It just I can't even It's inexplicable
Speaker 1: the feeling, but I have it. And it's funny you
Speaker 1: say all of this. Kaya Jones was on stage with
Speaker 1: John Rich and she was on the TV show last night,
Speaker 1: and I talked to her after the show and she
Speaker 1: was asked to sing God Bless America at the U
Speaker 1: n l V football game this weekend, and she said
Speaker 1: to me, I don't know if I can do it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can get through it. And
Speaker 1: she expressed a lot of the emotions that you just expressed,
Speaker 1: and that is that she feels guilty. She survived, she
Speaker 1: feels you know, what else could I have done? And
Speaker 1: she's second guest in herself. You know, the only thing
Speaker 1: I will say to um, your family, your daughter, your
Speaker 1: son in law, is you know, there are things in
Speaker 1: this life that I can't explain. I I don't have
Speaker 1: the answers. I do believe in God, and I do
Speaker 1: believe that you know, there's a mystery that will know
Speaker 1: on the other side of this life one day, and
Speaker 1: I I just think that for them is they've got
Speaker 1: to put their their heart in their faith, in the
Speaker 1: fact that it wasn't their time, whatever that means. And
Speaker 1: you know, for the rest of their lives, I know
Speaker 1: they're going to be different. People. Get help, by the way,
Speaker 1: is not a sign of weakness and meet to my
Speaker 1: it's in my mind, it's a sign of strength. Talking
Speaker 1: to a pastor and talking to a professional, and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe just talking to your friends and just going out
Speaker 1: and saying, I need to get this off my chest.
Speaker 1: I need your inside and need your help, and you'll
Speaker 1: be amazed at the amount of love and friendship the
Speaker 1: people offer. I have friends in my life that, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I can download anything too. So I don't
Speaker 1: think what they're going through is at all unnatural. This
Speaker 1: is what our military goes through. Imagine they go through
Speaker 1: this type of day every day for years on end,
Speaker 1: depending how many tours of duty they did in Iraq
Speaker 1: and Afghanistan. Those police officers that charged into that thirty
Speaker 1: second floor and that you know, literally we're fighting to
Speaker 1: get this guy. They're living through it too. You know,
Speaker 1: all these people I'm gonna go see in the hospital
Speaker 1: later today, that's never gonna leave them. It's it's a
Speaker 1: life changing moment for everybody. I don't want to take
Speaker 1: anything away from the prayers to them or the other
Speaker 1: people that have lost, just kind of want to bring
Speaker 1: it to attention that there's thousands of other people that,
Speaker 1: like my son and law and daughter said, they had
Speaker 1: to step over dead people and they saw things that
Speaker 1: they like you and I probably will never see and
Speaker 1: hopefully hopefully we will never see uh either because it
Speaker 1: will scar us too. But it's it's just a it's
Speaker 1: just a really sad thing. And I just hope people
Speaker 1: realize there's a lot of people out there that don't
Speaker 1: have physical scars, but they do mentally have scars, and
Speaker 1: it's it's a horrific thing. Listen, this is what you're
Speaker 1: talking about is PTSD, and it's real, and we have
Speaker 1: over two hundred and fifty troops that suffer from it,
Speaker 1: just having gone and fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. It
Speaker 1: is very real. There's nothing natural about it, and UM,
Speaker 1: just please know that your family, please tell them so
Speaker 1: I send my thoughts, I send my prayers to them
Speaker 1: and to the the extent possible. UM, I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: my best to offer just even a slight at of
Speaker 1: comfort to these people I meet today. And I hope
Speaker 1: God gives me the words. I don't. It's not what
Speaker 1: I do best in life. I'm gonna try my best. Anyway,
Speaker 1: my friend, I bless you. Yeah, great radio show and
Speaker 1: were I enjoy your new TV show. And you have
Speaker 1: a very professional you have a very professional staff. We do.
Speaker 1: We have the best people and and we're like a family, dysfunctional,
Speaker 1: but we're like a family. Um, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for being with us. And you tell your daughter and
Speaker 1: your son in law to hang in there. Nine for
Speaker 1: one Shawn to free number Linda. You said you were
Speaker 1: watching last night. You know how hard I mean, you
Speaker 1: know me and you even said it to me. I
Speaker 1: think earlier today when I was interviewing Tony Verditis and
Speaker 1: this young woman as beautiful young girl, she's twenty years old, Colleen,
Speaker 1: and she had just gone through cancer and she got
Speaker 1: saved by one of the policemen that saw that. You know,
Speaker 1: she had been weakened from all the chemotherapy. The story
Speaker 1: out of unbelievable. Actually wrote to your TV staff on
Speaker 1: the ground and I was just like, man, you guys
Speaker 1: are doing such a good job because I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: You know, one of the hardest things producing shows like
Speaker 1: this in the middle of a tragedy is you don't
Speaker 1: want to ever cheapen what they're going through. You just
Speaker 1: want to give them the platform to tell what happened
Speaker 1: to them, if they're ready, if they feel comfortable. And
Speaker 1: I think one of the hardest things is that there
Speaker 1: and someone's telling you that someone they loved for thirty
Speaker 1: two years, they married their high school sweetheart, has now
Speaker 1: passed away and won't see the birth of their fifth grandchild.
Speaker 1: Or you know, but we love, we love all these
Speaker 1: movies of superheroes, the doctors of superheroes, the cops and
Speaker 1: firemen with superheroes, the first responders were superheroes, and then
Speaker 1: just everyday people that just happened to be there and
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to help their fellow neighbor. They're like superheroes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think I think to like, you know, when
Speaker 1: you were talking to the folks the first night, you
Speaker 1: know that we're you know, military veterans. One guy had
Speaker 1: just gotten back in September from Afghanistan. The other guy
Speaker 1: was in Iraq war vet. I mean this this was
Speaker 1: this was a war zone, and all these people survived,
Speaker 1: and you have a very difficult job because you need
Speaker 1: to handle it with kid loves and be as gracious
Speaker 1: as you can. And it's it's hard. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: hard to interview them, it's hard to talk about it.
Speaker 1: It's really really hard. The whole thing is difficult. You know,
Speaker 1: there is something in life called empathy. And you know,
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at this poor man, he's holding his
Speaker 1: wife's hand and she gets killed and then having like
Speaker 1: a fun time together. I you know, it's like anybody
Speaker 1: that I know that loses a kid, how do you
Speaker 1: how do you go on from that point? It's hard.
Speaker 1: And all those mothers that we interviewed that lost their
Speaker 1: sons and daughters either killed by illegal immigrants. How many
Speaker 1: shows have we done on this? How many people have
Speaker 1: we interview? Many lost? How many have lost their kids
Speaker 1: in war? You know, it's somebody it's so hard, And
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta take a quick break from Vegas.
Speaker 1: It's the Sean Hannity Show. We'll come back Hannity tonight
Speaker 1: at nine. Among the things, we have all the latest developments,
Speaker 1: new information coming out and trying to get the bottom
Speaker 1: to the bottom of this evil madman, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: meet some of those people that are heroes and some
Speaker 1: of those people that were victims of this horrible shooting
Speaker 1: tonight at nine our New Time on the Fox News Channel.
Speaker 1: All right, Hannity, we've been invited to go to the hospital.
Speaker 1: We're headed over there now to meet some of the victims.
Speaker 1: Will have full complete coverage of all of this nine
Speaker 1: Eastern Hannity from Vegas, New Gingrich many of the people
Speaker 1: that we're heroes, Wayne Lapierre and much more. We hope
Speaker 1: you'll join us at you DVR the New Time at nine.

Speaker 1: it tonight. Thank you for being with us.
