WEBVTT - Security Failures and Political Firestorms 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.520 An hour two Sean Hannity Show eight hundred and nine 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:04.720 point one, Shawn, if you want to be a part 0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:09.080 of the program. There is a new survey out our friend, 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:14.160 Matt Towery, Insider Advantage, and it says everything that you 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:18.440 would expect, and you know, the headline is Insider Advantage 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:23.000 National survey. Following the White House Correspondence dinner Assassination Attempt 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:27.720 opinion shifts, Nearly seventy percent say that Congress should now 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.040 fund the Department of Homeland Security. By the way, that 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:34.920 includes the United States Secret Service, which according to my 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.120 sources this week runs out of money. I mean, this 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.200 is madness, this is insanity. Never mind the problems that 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.440 we have pointed out. That they've got to sweep every 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.920 inch of any area where a president is going to be. 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.280 They've got to then secure and hold that area so 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.760 that it doesn't get contaminated. Meaning once you sweep it, 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:57.920 you just don't walk away. You've got to secure it, 0:00:58.280 --> 0:00:59.760 and you've got to stay there, and you've got a 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.120 whole it. The idea that you know, we had Butler 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.640 one hundred and thirty yards away, guy just jumping up 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.560 on a ladder. The perimeter is not big enough. We 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.679 know what a big perimeter's like because I've been to 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.920 rn C, DNC conventions and they have multiple perimeter layers 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.320 that you know, can stretch out a half a mile 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.800 to a mile away. I've been there, I've experienced it. 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.959 I've been stopped four times to show my picture idea. 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.720 I've had to empty my pockets two or three times 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.040 to get into one of these conventions. They know how 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.800 to do it. You know, Trump International, they have a 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.800 known area paparazzi congregate. And meanwhile, they didn't sweep the 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:43.039 area where where no people were right near where the 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.520 holes of this golf course are. 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:46.680 It's a layup shot. 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.080 And if it weren't for one sharp eyed sacred service 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.520 agent in that case, they, you know, the president could 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.600 have been a catastrophe. Al the President came within a 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.600 millimeter of losing his life in Butler. And in this 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.280 particular case, how is it possible a guy can get 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.520 that close to the ballroom. Nobody had swept the hotel 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.399 at all. And that is the common theme in all 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.320 three instances. It's got to change, and it's got to 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.800 change dramatically. And the idea that we're in the middle 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.240 of a war with Iran, the number one state sponsor 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.240 of terror that has already plotted and planned and schemed 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:28.600 assassination attempts against Donald Trump. And we're not taking these 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:33.760 matters more seriously. This is a disaster in the making. Anyway, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:38.080 let me play for you, you know, the violent rhetoric 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.120 of the left in this country. We've been playing it. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.800 Nobody else seems to want to play it. We will 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:43.880 continue to play it. 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.919 Listen, many of your fellow Democrats have used some heated 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:48.880 rhetoric against the president. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.520 And do you think twice about that when something like 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:52.160 this happens. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:53.320 What rhetoric do you have? 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:58.400 It is Donald Trump and the Maga Republicans represented extremism 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.360 that threatens the very foundations of our republic. 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:03.799 You get, and you. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:09.040 Get, and you just back on them, and you tell them. 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:12.480 Anymore anywhere. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.080 I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.760 to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is. 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:22.960 Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:23.200 Yes? 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:23.440 I do. 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.120 We have a tim O Whittler in the White House 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:26.720 right now. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:32.440 Yes. I have thought an awful lot about blowing up 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:33.320 the White House. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.160 They're still going to have to go out and put 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:35.839 a bullet. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:36.200 In Donald Trump. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:37.000 And that's a fact. 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.640 When was the last time an actor assassinated the president? 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.120 We do now live in a country that has an 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.120 authoritarian leader in charge. 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.800 He's just a vile creature, the worst thing on the 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.400 face of the earth. But anyway, you think he's the 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.080 worst thing on the face of the earth. 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.240 I do, Yeah, I do. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.279 And I love the Caroline Levitt yesterday calling out Democrats 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.120 by name, just in the last week, in two or 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:09.720 two that have been making these incendiary comments. It's always, 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:16.120 you know, Nazi, fascist, racist, Estapo wash rints. Repeat this 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:21.080 is dehumanizing and insightful rhetoric. There are sick people in 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.120 this world. They know what they're doing. Anyway, let's play it. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:29.480 Pages and pages of major Democrat Party elected officials saying, 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.279 such as RepA Keem Jeffrey is just this April this 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.880 month said we are in an era of maximum warfare 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.680 everywhere all the time. Governor Josh Shapiro said heads need 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:44.400 to roll within the administration. Senator Alex Padia said people 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.520 are quote dying because of fear and terror caused by 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.479 the Trump administration. Senator Elizabeth Warren, President Trump is making 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.240 the country look like a quote fascist state. Senator Adam 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.839 Shiff saying President Trump using a dictator playbook. Senator Ed 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.760 Markey calling President Trump a dictator, saying that this administration's 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.880 actions are authoritarianism on steroids. 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:06.520 Governor J. B. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.000 Pritzker. Never before in my life have I called for 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:13.520 mass protest disruptions. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.360 You have Presley saying we'll see you in the streets. 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.839 Ret Monica McIvor, a Democrat representative on Capitol Hill. We 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.880 will not take this from Donald Trump. He thinks he's 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.839 a dictator. We are at war. These are Democrat elected 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.839 officials calling for war against the President of the United 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.600 States and his supporters. I could go on and on, 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.240 but again, when you have people in positions of power 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.040 that are saying things like this every single day for years, 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.880 you are inspiring violence by people who are already mentally ill. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.080 And that's what we've seen against this president for far 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:47.479 too long. 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.000 All right, Joining us now is Matt Towery. He is 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.520 the host of the leader board and poster for Insider Advantage, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.960 one of the few polling groups that has historically for 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:02.479 eleven years consistently pulled Donald Trump accurately, unlike the rest 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.880 of the legacy media mob. John Tillman, CEO of American 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.800 Culture Project, founder of the and CEO of The Hall 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.480 of Giants, author, by the way, also of the new 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.719 book The Political Vice, How the Radical Left Controls America 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:17.880 and the Path to Regaining Our Liberty. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.039 Welcome all of you. Matt. Let's talk about your survey 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:22.120 and what is it telling you. 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.680 Well, as you said, it's pretty much expected that the 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.400 public would see this and once again they would be 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.080 reminded of the need for homeland security to be completely funded. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.960 I might note that the lines and airports have gone 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.840 way down only because Donald Trump decided to use an 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:44.200 executive order to fund the TSA. Otherwise we'd still have 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.160 that manness going on as well. And also the president's 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.520 approval rating. You know, it's been underwater since the war. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.960 It's pretty much to be expected, particularly from some of 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.800 the posters who take advantage of it to make sure 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.960 it's really underwater. But we found the president's approval rate 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.640 coming up once again. And you remember this show on 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.880 the inflection point of the election back two years ago, 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.239 was after that shooting in Butler and then that second 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.560 attempt at shooting in Palm Beach, and from that point on, 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.640 the President's crewer ratings kept going up and the numbers 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.840 started to come closer together. Now, I'm not trying to 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.160 take advantage of a circumstance. I'm just reporting the circumstance. 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:24.480 But I will tell. 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.240 Everyone right now, this event, right now is another reset button. 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.040 And if this war gets wrapped up in a clean 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.360 way fairly soon, you're going to see the Republicans and 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.120 Trump become much more competitive for the ball than they 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.200 look like right now. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.240 I think you're right. I think people have jumped the 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.080 gun on this. I think it'll get a lot more competitive. 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:50.240 What drives elections safety and security. I mean, you know, 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.480 peace and prosperity, those are the things that drive elections. John, 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:54.400 let's get your take. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.280 Well. I think what's really fascinating to me about this 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.840 is David Axelrod's out there complaining about good Trump using 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.600 this incident to sell the ballroom in the security of it, 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.480 as if this is somehow irrelevant because they never talked 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.960 about at the beginning. The ballroom is more important than 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:10.680 ever for all the reasons just cited. But I think 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.880 the most important thing is to recognize that we are 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.120 in a propaganda war and the left is so desperate 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.240 because they know they cannot win elections by traditional politics. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.040 They have to use this eliminationist rhetoric to try to 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.560 gin up their base and turn them out because a 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.600 huge swath of voters, both all black, brown, and light 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.760 across America are rejecting their moral arguments. The way we 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.720 win from this point on, the way Trump wins from 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.160 this point on is by taking the moral high ground back. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.400 He won twenty twenty four because he had the moral 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.560 high ground on immigration, no men in women's sports. He 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.960 has the moral high ground on national security and Iran. 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.880 If he takes that shot and continues to make those 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:52.520 arguments that this is the right thing to do. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.520 Oh, I think it's absolutely the right thing to do. 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.640 And the President is very clear and he keeps echoing 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.080 the same message. I cannot have nuclear weapons. And for 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.600 those people that didn't learn a damn thing from history 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.880 in the last century and one hundred million dead people, 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.400 Matt Towry, I can't help stupid, and I can't help ignorant, 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.480 and I don't have any tolerance for people that don't 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.640 understand it. You know, the number one state sponsor of terror. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.520 They put no value on human life. They don't even 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.400 put the value of life on their own children, as 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.680 they indoctrinate them into strapping bombs on themselves to kill 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.880 innocent men, women, and children and promise them the reward 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.959 of seventy two virgins in heaven. Sorry, you can't really 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.440 have a rational discussion with people that think this way. 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.960 Well, which is why we're having trouble wrapping this war up, 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:47.839 because we've gone from having completely rational leadership to completely 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.920 insane leadership. And this could be very hard to figure 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.000 out who you negotiate with in this whole thing. And 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.040 so the rhetoric, whether it's the rhetoric coming out of 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.760 Iran or the rhetoric that he was just referring to 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.880 here in this country, it has gotten out of control. 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.800 And I want to say one thing. I want the 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.679 Republicans to get a backbone. I want them to get 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.320 a backbone. I want to know why in the world 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.880 the leader of the Senate can't find ways to have 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.400 leverage over these senators who won't vote on critical issues 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.200 for Trump and won't bust that filibuster apart because if 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.640 they did that, half the things we worry about right now, Sean, 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.320 we could deal with and get fixed. It's not like 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.480 we have to win another midterm to save this country. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.440 We could do it right this minute. And you're not 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.040 going to tell me that the leaders of the Senate 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.320 can't find a way to have political leverage over these 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.880 four or five. Now, maybe Susan Collins is an exception 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.400 because she's running for re election. Evan, that's McConnell. Evan, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.679 that's McConnell. If he wants a single bridge or a 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.400 bust or anything of him. And by the way, his 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.559 approval rating is at about fifteen percent in his home state. 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.360 Isn't that nice. I'm sure he's really proud of that, 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.400 if he even knows what it is, or if you 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:58.360 didn't even awake. 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.959 I don't even think cares at this point, exactly. I 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.520 think he's half asleep. A lot of I don't know 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:08.160 what's in the water in Kentucky. Something's going on in Kentucky. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.320 Oh you tell me. I mean, between Ran Paul and 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:16.440 Matthey and McConnell, it's just unbelievable. But I put a 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.760 call out today the Republicans finally get a backbone like 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.560 their president, and we need to put me right now. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.480 I would be running ads in John Thune's home state 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.080 left and right, telling the people in that state what 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.360 he's not doing, and I'd be doing it in every 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.760 other state as well, because I'm really sick and tired 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.840 of this lip service we get from Republicans and then 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.360 nothing to back up the president. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.680 I totally agree, you know, John, I'd like to see 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.400 more of a backbone too. Quick break more with Matt 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.720 Towery John Tillman on the other side. Then we'll get 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.080 to your calls as well. The other news of the 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.480 day coming up straight ahead also eight hundred ninety four one, Shawn, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:12:02.240 As we continue, If you're ready to get out of 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.840 the media spin room, you've come to the right place. 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.720 Is the Sean Hannity Show. 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.840 All right, we continue now. Matt Towery and John Tilman 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.520 are with us. I understand the math. We don't have 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.199 a big majority in the House. We don't have a 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.679 big majority in the Senate. Senate has draconian rules. I 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.280 know that there's been a push to get rid of 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.800 the filibuster so the president can accomplish certain things. Democrats 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:57.040 are already telegraphing James Carvell's saying the quiet part out loud, 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.680 which is if the Democrats get control, well, they will 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.559 nuke the Fellowbuster, they'll have DC Puerto Rico statehood, and 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.040 they'll pack the courts. So we know where they're headed 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:08.280 if they ever get back in power. 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.160 John, that reflects one of my rules of politics, which 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:15.360 is when Republicans, when Democrats gain political power, no matter 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.120 how small the majority, they can't wait to implement their agenda, 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.800 no matter how extreme it may be. When Republicans gain 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.120 political power, they can't wait to equivocate on their agenda, 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.320 no matter how large the majorities are. And that's exactly 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.559 the situation we're in. And the reason that there is 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.400 bipartisan resentment of Trump is because he doesn't tolerate that 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.520 he wants to actually get things done, and he's frustrated 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.520 with the leadership in both chambers as a result of 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.520 everything that both you and Matt have been saying. And 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.920 the only way to change that is for people out 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.320 across America to come together and do exactly as Matt 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.440 just suggested a moment ago, which is putting some money 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.040 into the pot and putting pressure on these leaders in 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.440 their home districts and make them fear their own voters 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.120 more than they fear whoever it is that's persuading them 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:53.679 to do nothing. 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.480 You know, look, I do think that the sooner that 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.440 the President is able to resolve the situation with Iran, 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.440 I think the better. I think we've now gotten to 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:06.360 the point where the President is probably with the blockade 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.480 is very successful. They're losing four or five hundred million 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.800 dollars a day, Matt Towery. Their economy is in a 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.520 full collapse. If you add to that, you know ten percent, 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:21.920 you know, degrading of their infrastructure daily, and every three days, 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.000 we'll do grade ten percent more. Until you realize this 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.800 is going to be the future of your economy, you 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.440 won't have one. I think that would be an added 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:30.240 amount of pressure. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:30.640 Thoughts. 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.120 Well, my thought is a blockade is always one of 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.560 the best military strategies you could take if you want 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:39.280 to ovoid direct conflict. Worked well for Kennedy and Cubas 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.080 working well now for us. It's going to take time, 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.920 and the public doesn't have any patients. And let me 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.400 just add this, the national media has done a wonderful 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.720 job of putting the clock on this at about thirty seconds. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.080 You would think that we that we literally have thirty 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.160 seconds to solve every problem in this country. This war 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.480 has been going on, conflict whatever you want to call it, 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.760 for about something days. That is a minimal amount of time, 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.480 and so much has been taken out. So in terms 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.040 of leadership, in terms of things that they value, in 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.280 terms of infrastructure, it's gone. They don't have a navy, 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.200 they don't have an air force, they don't have radar. 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.760 They're down to nothing. And I think within the next 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.680 few weeks the economics of this will push this tighter. 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.560 But at some point President Trump is basically just going 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.280 to have to I believe, in my opinion, it's going 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.040 to have to take out the world reserves they have. 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.400 He's going to have to take out perhaps some some 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:36.120 degree of energy not leaving the country destitutes, declare victory 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.360 and come home. And the Europeans are going to have 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.400 to start figuring out how they're going to get that 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.880 straight kept open because they depend on it. We don't. 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.960 I think that's a good point. Matt Twer appreciate you. 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.840 John Tilman, Thank you eight hundred and nine four one Sean. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.800 If you want to be a part of the program. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:53.800 If you ever get a notice from the IRS, you 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.040 got to take it seriously. They can't send out empty threats. 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.840 And maybe you owe back taxes. Maybe you didn't fule 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.640 turns and years gone by. Maybe you filed, but you 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:03.440 can't pay. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:03.800 What you owe. 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.080 The rule we've learned in the ten years Rush Tax 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.400 Resolution dot Com has been on this program. Please listen 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.560 to their rule. Don't ever ever deal with the IRS 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.840 on your own. They are the professionals. They do this 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.480 every day. You're crazy to deal with them on your. 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:54.240 Own, continuing to build the foundation for conservative victory. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:54.880 Victory. 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.000 Now back to the Sean Hannity Show. 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.040 Let me go back to our top story from earlier today. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.600 We now know that the former FBI director James Colemy 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:11.240 has been indicted yet again. And by the way, I 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.119 talked to Dan Bongino on my podcast about this. We 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:18.959 just dropped it this morning in relation to his eighty 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:23.520 six forty seven seashell post on Instagram last year. I 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.280 have no idea what this means, done at all? Whatsoever? 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.600 I mean eighty six forty seven. I didn't know that meant. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:34.000 Anything when you posted this message eighty six forty seven, 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.000 and I said, there are different interpretations of it, but 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:40.040 one interpretation of it is to end someone or something. 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.439 Was there anything in the back of your mind that 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.040 said maybe I just shouldn't post this. 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.080 Yeah, no, literally nothing, because it seemed entirely innocent and 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.520 clever to me. I have never and actually still have, 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.720 don't associate eighty six with violence. But because I heard 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.040 that some folks were, whether they do that reasonably or not, 0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.520 I don't want any part of it, and so that's 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.400 why I took it down from my Instagram account. 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.600 Okay, he was he's full of Adam Schiff, but putting 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:09.399 all that aside. But you know, in this atmosphere where 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:14.800 it's a death assassination assassination culture, it's really beyond frustrating 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.040 here to weigh in on this depending election, everything that's 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.840 been going on. Is our friend Mark Compert is back 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.000 with us. I know you were at the White House 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.120 correspondence dinner because you know, after the room had long 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.160 been cleared, it was a shot of you with three 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.040 people and you're in a circle having a pleasant conversation, 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.680 which is not a bad thing to do, but obviously 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.760 not an easy night for anybody in that room. What 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.120 went on from your vantage point. 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.080 Sean, great to be back. I did hang around afterwards. 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.200 You know, I'm an American and I'm I'm a dad 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.399 and a husband, but also a reporter, and so I 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.320 didn't really want to give up the opportunity to talk 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.399 to folks until the service kicked us out. I was 0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.520 sitting in the in sort of the center of the 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.439 of the cash. Betel was at my table, so I 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.399 got to watch him, you know, deal with the aftermath 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.080 and dealing with it in the room, and then as 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.040 he left the room, and you know, I'm. 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:13.920 And by the way, can you confirm I mean, he's 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.760 been unfairly smeared in all of this. And I know 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.400 from other people that were with him that within moments 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:24.560 he was with the perpetrator and questioning him. And they 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.560 had this guy in an ambulance on the way, and 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:30.480 they were questioning him on the way and getting information intel, 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.080 and they had more background on this guy within an 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.480 hour's time than anybody has any idea about. 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:37.840 So much so that of course people on the left 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:41.040 of all these conspiracy theories about how they allowed it 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.119 to happen or they engineered it. I can't confirm what 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:45.960 he did after he left the table, but he was 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:50.280 definitely engaged from the minute it happened. And this moment 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.399 was for reporters kind of a paradox because you know, 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:56.600 hundreds of reporters in a room with the biggest story 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.639 in the world and very little cell coverage or Wi 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.879 Fi coverage, and most everybody were under the table. I 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.679 didn't go under the table. My reporter's instinct told me 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:08.520 it would be safe to be above, and I wanted 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:10.480 to look around and see what was happening. But it 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.960 was intense. And my main takeaway from the thing is, 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.120 besides the fact that the agents at that security point 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.480 did a great job, is the security perimeter should not 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:20.919 have been where it was. It should have been at 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.879 the perimeter of the hotel and not within feet of 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:27.280 the ballroom. And I really question that as just a 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.000 judgment call about how to secure that venue. 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.800 Well, I have two criticisms, and I think that it's 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:38.080 time for a total, complete, top to bottom reevaluation of 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:42.200 how they handle presidential security. If you look at Butler, 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.080 if you look at Trump International, and you look at 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:49.280 the incident on Saturday night, there's certainly a major failure 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.080 Now I got to give props to all of the 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.399 Secret service people in the room, and you witnessed it 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:57.359 up close and personal. They acted, They were all willing 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:01.040 to take a bullet for their respective people that they 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.280 were covering. They sprung into action. They're amazing people. I 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:09.120 have nothing but praise for them. However, you mentioned the perimeter. 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:11.159 That's one part of the equation. If you go to 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.680 an R and C convention, a DNC convention, sometimes the 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.679 first layer of perimeter, and there are multiple perimeters, is 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:24.040 half a mile or longer away, and to get in 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.760 you need to show your credentials multiple times, you need 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:31.879
