Speaker 1: All right. I wish I could say Happy Friday. Nothing
Speaker 1: really happy about it, is it? We all watched more
Speaker 1: than one hundred and seventy businesses damaged, looted, dozens and
Speaker 1: dozens of fires last night. Minnesota. You just heard in
Speaker 1: that opened That was the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Waltzing.
Speaker 1: And I never thought i'd see this, that they don't
Speaker 1: even defend the actual precinct of a police department that
Speaker 1: went up in flames last night. Also, that's got to stop.
Speaker 1: You've got to you've got to restore order. And it
Speaker 1: is it is sad to watch all of this unfold.
Speaker 1: It's so unnecessary. And we got a lot to talk
Speaker 1: about today that we are expecting. Also, the General Flynn
Speaker 1: Kinsley Act transcripts, I've gotten the down low on them already,
Speaker 1: and it seems like General Flynn didn't lie at all
Speaker 1: at any time. And by the way, what he old
Speaker 1: Struck and the other FBI special agent when they ambushed
Speaker 1: him on the orders of McCabe and Comey. I sent
Speaker 1: them that. Yeah, I remember talking to him, I don't
Speaker 1: remember the specifics of the call. Well, it's our goal
Speaker 1: here to get an admission logan Act admission Okay, nobody's
Speaker 1: never been prosecuted on the Logan Act. We're gonna try
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, get him to lie so we
Speaker 1: can prosecute him or fire him. Unbelievable, so we'll have
Speaker 1: more light on it. In the bottom line is General
Speaker 1: Flynn looks like I been telling the truth the whole time.
Speaker 1: Back to what is what it was unfolding before our
Speaker 1: very eyes last night. I'll start with this though. The
Speaker 1: former Minneapolis police officer has now his name is Derek Chauvin,
Speaker 1: has been arrested, taken into custody for his role in
Speaker 1: the death of George Floyd. Fired Minneapolis police officer has
Speaker 1: been arrested now just days after the fatal arrest that
Speaker 1: sparked the protest, the rioting, the outcry across the city
Speaker 1: and the nation. And as I look at the charges
Speaker 1: here again, today's the twenty ninth. Is this happened on
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth. This is four days they've been fired.
Speaker 1: You never see a firing happened that quickly in any
Speaker 1: police department. They have their quote, reviews, their processes, etc.
Speaker 1: The thing that makes this case very, very unique is
Speaker 1: the amount of tape, the length of the tape that
Speaker 1: we have with the different angles, including store video footage,
Speaker 1: watching all of this unfold, and what we see in
Speaker 1: the tape at no time shows any resistance of any kind.
Speaker 1: And what we see is, for this extended eight plus
Speaker 1: minutes of time, the officer with his knee on the neck,
Speaker 1: pushing down and compressing mister Floyd's head into the into
Speaker 1: the cement, into the ground, into the you know, right
Speaker 1: into the ground. There's no other way to put it anyway.
Speaker 1: So they have now just announced the Commissioner for Minnesota
Speaker 1: Public Safety that he's been taken into custody and connection
Speaker 1: with this incident for a police officer in the video,
Speaker 1: it is now we believe that he's going to be
Speaker 1: charged with third degree I believe manslaughter. I'm sorry, Well, Linda,
Speaker 1: let's listen. We just got the audio tape in. We
Speaker 1: have looked very closely at all statutes. This is what
Speaker 1: we've charged. Now, investigation is ongoing. We have more discussions
Speaker 1: to do with our experts. This is the same charges
Speaker 1: that we made when we charge for Minneapolis police officer
Speaker 1: from Mohammed Noir, the exact same third degree charge and
Speaker 1: manslaughter charge. Mohammed Nouir was a very difficult case. We
Speaker 1: didn't have the kind of videotape we need and we didn't,
Speaker 1: and there was all sorts of other evidence. It took
Speaker 1: us a long time. We do our level best to
Speaker 1: charge each case when we have the evidence to do it,
Speaker 1: but we cannot and I will not allow us to
Speaker 1: charge a case until it's ready. This case is now
Speaker 1: ready and we have charged it, all right. That again,
Speaker 1: that was the Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman making the
Speaker 1: announcement of the rest. To charge is third degree murder
Speaker 1: a manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, if you
Speaker 1: want the distinction. Again, there's some variation of this, but
Speaker 1: generally speaking, first degree murder would require intent and premeditation.
Speaker 1: Second degree murder would require again proving to a jury
Speaker 1: beyond any reasonable doubt only intent. Third degree murder would
Speaker 1: require reckless or negligent behavior. And again the specifics do
Speaker 1: vary somewhat between varying jurisdictions, etc. President has been outspoken
Speaker 1: on this, everybody else has been outspoken on this. The
Speaker 1: one thing that makes this case unique is I don't
Speaker 1: see I don't see this as a political party issue.
Speaker 1: This is not conservative liberal, This is not Republican and Democrat.
Speaker 1: This is not along. There's no racial divide that I
Speaker 1: am seeing or hearing from. I'm sure the keyboard warriors
Speaker 1: all over social media that psychos and their basement with
Speaker 1: their underwear on. You know. I can't speak for them
Speaker 1: because I don't read what they say, but there is
Speaker 1: pretty much universal agreement based on the video that we've
Speaker 1: seen and we've been talking about at length all week.
Speaker 1: The Attorney General released a statement earlier today. The video
Speaker 1: images of the incident that ended with the death of
Speaker 1: mister Floyd while in custody of Minneapolis police officers were
Speaker 1: harrowing to watch and deeply disturbing. The state Prosecutor has
Speaker 1: been in the process of determining whether any criminal charges
Speaker 1: are appropriate under the state law, and on a separate
Speaker 1: and parallel track, the Department of Justice. By the way,
Speaker 1: this based on what the President said very early right
Speaker 1: after this all happened. He demanded and ordered an expedited
Speaker 1: investigation by the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Civil
Speaker 1: Rights Division. They're all on it. But back to Bar's statement,
Speaker 1: on a separate, parallel track, the Department of Justice, including
Speaker 1: the FBI, are conducting an independent investigation to determine whether
Speaker 1: any federal civil rights laws were violated. Both state and
Speaker 1: federal law officers are working diligently collaboratively to ensure that
Speaker 1: any available evidence relevant to these decisions is obtained as
Speaker 1: quickly as possible. Under our system of justice, charging decisions
Speaker 1: must be and will be based on the law and facts.
Speaker 1: This process is proceeding quickly, as is the typical practice.
Speaker 1: The state's charging decisions will be made first. I am
Speaker 1: confident justice will be served. Pretty strong statement from the
Speaker 1: Attorney General of the United States as to where this
Speaker 1: now is all heading now, I don't know. I don't understand.
Speaker 1: It makes no sense what we're all seeing and hearing
Speaker 1: last night. I'm gonna we'll go to this. This cut
Speaker 1: is cut nine. I just want to tug on. This
Speaker 1: is struck three. It's already happened the first time it
Speaker 1: should have happened, the second time it should have happened,
Speaker 1: the third time. It's out. Now we're going to Thomas House.
Speaker 1: We got chuck that too, we got matter of fact,
Speaker 1: we got a two for one room, one of us,
Speaker 1: two yours, And I said, time, don't want none. There's
Speaker 1: more of us, do you what's up? Exactly, We're coming
Speaker 1: for you. This is only what's up? Huh exactly repeats
Speaker 1: because next time, this is your mother's house up there,
Speaker 1: and oh Bill, you do here? We call healthy house
Speaker 1: right now? Do that? Of course, some of the sounds
Speaker 1: from last night. I never thought i'd watch him witness
Speaker 1: a police precinct overtaken like this. The guard had already
Speaker 1: been called up, the already had supposedly they had had
Speaker 1: and were prepared for potential protests last night, and the
Speaker 1: fear was palpable that they might what happened the night
Speaker 1: before might happen again. But if you look at now
Speaker 1: what's happened. More than one hundred and seventy businesses now damaged, looted,
Speaker 1: dozens destroyed by fire. Um, I'm watching this all unfolded.
Speaker 1: I'm like, where are the police? Why are they not
Speaker 1: out there now? Again, there's not a divide. It's kind
Speaker 1: of universal belief they don't or disbelief even, but it's
Speaker 1: real of what happened here. But if I took the
Speaker 1: time to tell you all of the names of all
Speaker 1: of the stores that were you know, either broken into
Speaker 1: or looted, or had their windows smashed or set a blaze.
Speaker 1: It would take you know, a good part of this
Speaker 1: hour to get through it all. You know, one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty two you know people by the way, you
Speaker 1: know from Wednesday night now taken into custody, one hundred
Speaker 1: you know, seventy businesses now property damage, looted, destroyed. You
Speaker 1: know now thirty business has looted. You know, two dozen
Speaker 1: fire damage. You know, others destroyed by damage completely. And
Speaker 1: I did not like what I was watching and witnessing
Speaker 1: last night before a very ice the president and said
Speaker 1: he's warning the governor, get this under control, or I
Speaker 1: will handle it for you. Now, why would the President
Speaker 1: say something like that, but for the safety and security
Speaker 1: of the people that live there. Every single every single
Speaker 1: time that there is an incident like this, the entire
Speaker 1: community is put at risk. Now, I'm telling you watching
Speaker 1: these cases over the years, I'll give you a quick
Speaker 1: history because we have pretty much nailed every case early
Speaker 1: and there's a reason why. You know, if you go
Speaker 1: if you go back to Ferguson and by the way,
Speaker 1: we have remarks from Barack Obama not particularly helpful. Will
Speaker 1: delve into that later, but you know, remember Trey von
Speaker 1: early on in that case, I got a tip that
Speaker 1: there was an eyewitness that was going to put Trayvon
Speaker 1: on top of George Zimmerman. That happened in that case.
Speaker 1: Everybody in Bass guilty. Remember Cambridge police with Obama, the
Speaker 1: same thing there. Remember the incident in twenty fourteen, hands up,
Speaker 1: don't shoot. Remember the Michael Brown incident. Remember what happened
Speaker 1: Officer Darren Wilson. Well, we were ahead of the curve
Speaker 1: there too, because we actually did our job and we investigated,
Speaker 1: and we had numerous, multiple confirmed sources that there were
Speaker 1: many people in the neighborhood that saw the entire encounter,
Speaker 1: and that Officer Darren Wilson's version of events ended up
Speaker 1: being right that Michael Brown charged at him. First tape
Speaker 1: that came out, hands up. Don't you Media, they run
Speaker 1: with it. They're wrong all the time. Remember Freddie Gray
Speaker 1: Baltimore back when that happened, very early on, Remember you
Speaker 1: have an African American mayor attorney prosecuted in the case.
Speaker 1: They raised expectations so high, and I said from the
Speaker 1: get go, you're not gonna get one guilty verdict here.
Speaker 1: Why because of my sources on the ground at the
Speaker 1: time and what I knew would ultimately be coming out.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you're allowed to go with what you're told.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just have to hint at it. And I
Speaker 1: always try to be as honest as I can. This case,
Speaker 1: I've gone over the whole next thing. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to repeat myself because you see it with your own eyes,
Speaker 1: and I think Dan Bongino captured this very well when
Speaker 1: he said, okay, now just stand back. You know, I
Speaker 1: love when the president ends his rallies. We're one glorious
Speaker 1: nation under God. We're one great, united American family. We're
Speaker 1: not always united on politics, but it was all Americans.
Speaker 1: I believe my faith teaches me that we're all created
Speaker 1: by one God. I believe that with all my heart,
Speaker 1: my body, and soul. And imagine that's your kid, and
Speaker 1: that's your kid's neck with that knee on it for
Speaker 1: eight plus minutes. The amount of force that involved in that,
Speaker 1: And when you really watch the video to the very end,
Speaker 1: it gets even more chilling because that's when they literally
Speaker 1: like he's out cold, probably not alive, and they move
Speaker 1: his head. They literally have to lift this guy's neck
Speaker 1: and turn it and literally huddle it under their arms
Speaker 1: to get the guy on the gurney. We shouldn't be
Speaker 1: watching that because once a suspect there's a twenty dollars
Speaker 1: counterfeit potential charge here. Okay, they're once they are in
Speaker 1: custody and they're handcuffed, the fight's over. And then they're
Speaker 1: not resisting. The fight is over. That's why he shouldn't
Speaker 1: have happened. All right, as we roll along eight hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety four one, Sean, you want to be a
Speaker 1: part of this program today. I wish I could say
Speaker 1: happy Friday. That's not It can't be happy when you
Speaker 1: see a great city in this country going through what
Speaker 1: we are witnessing now. You can't. I don't understand at
Speaker 1: all what the hell went on last night. And the
Speaker 1: governor has now spoken out about this, and the President
Speaker 1: is now spoken out about this. For the safety and
Speaker 1: the security of people and their entire lives and souls
Speaker 1: have gone into the businesses they build, you can't allow
Speaker 1: this to happen and not stop it. And the fact
Speaker 1: that it had happened the night before, and there was
Speaker 1: every indication that it was going to happen last night
Speaker 1: or could potentially happen, and they didn't step in. I
Speaker 1: don't get and the idea among some we all look
Speaker 1: for the vast maturity. This tape in many ways shocks
Speaker 1: the conscience, it really does, but it's universal. There's no
Speaker 1: divide here or none that I'm seeing, but the idea.
Speaker 1: And now the officers been arrested and charged, and this
Speaker 1: is gonna move forward pretty pretty quickly, in my humble opinion,
Speaker 1: And you're gonna see this move about as quickly as possible,
Speaker 1: in large part because for what I said the first day.
Speaker 1: You know, you always believe in the presumption of innocence.
Speaker 1: You always believe innocence until proven guilty. But that doesn't
Speaker 1: take away what our eyes showed us for eight plus minutes,
Speaker 1: all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one sean, if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. My sources today
Speaker 1: telling me that the Flynn kisleyak, the call that was
Speaker 1: surveiled and then of course unmasked, and then of course
Speaker 1: leaking raw intelligence. Apparently the big headline that is coming
Speaker 1: out of this now is that General Flynt told the
Speaker 1: truth when Struck and the other special agent would remember
Speaker 1: the ambush and they go in after McCabe says, oh,
Speaker 1: you don't need a lawyer and call me bragging. I
Speaker 1: sent them in. I took advantage of the chaos, something
Speaker 1: I'd never do or get away with and any other administration,
Speaker 1: and I sent them in And is usually a procedure.
Speaker 1: And that is like you care about somebody's constitutional rights
Speaker 1: and civil liberties forty nine separate requests. Now, nobody was
Speaker 1: paying attention this week because it happened on Wednesday night's
Speaker 1: edition of Hannity, and that is that we had Ado
Speaker 1: Jay spokesperson on Kerry Kupick, and Kerry told us that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have found so many unmaskings that it's so disturbing
Speaker 1: that now they have made the decision, they are now
Speaker 1: expanding their investigation into all the unmaskings of who and
Speaker 1: where now we know Trey Gaudy and Devin Nonas have
Speaker 1: also talked about Trump family being unmasked. Now, why would
Speaker 1: Obama administration people unmask them? We're told there might be
Speaker 1: people that have opposing political views or friendly to the
Speaker 1: president that might have two been unmasked. We know there
Speaker 1: was nearly a three percent increase as we headed into
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election and unmaskings. Why would samanth the
Speaker 1: power ever do it? Clapper, and you've got let's see,
Speaker 1: Oh Joe Biden himself the forgetful one. The day after
Speaker 1: he said I don't know anything about it. He requested
Speaker 1: eight days before they left the White House. And we
Speaker 1: have Sally h shocked that Obama himself knew about the
Speaker 1: contents of the call between General Flynn and kiss Leak. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get an update with Greg Jarrett and John Solomon.
Speaker 1: But back to our top story today. You know, what
Speaker 1: was just a horrific scene unfolding last night in Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: and in spite of the firings, and now we have
Speaker 1: the arrest of this former Minneapolis police officer. Remember this
Speaker 1: happened on Monday, and the officer now has been arrested
Speaker 1: and charged with third degree murder and manslaughter. That was
Speaker 1: you know, I think in large part the reason that
Speaker 1: this decision was made so quickly is because of the
Speaker 1: eight minutes of videotape that we all watched. And every
Speaker 1: police friend I have, everyone in law enforcement I know,
Speaker 1: they've all told me the same thing. They've never seen
Speaker 1: anything like this. This is not what they are trained
Speaker 1: to do. At all. And the bottom line the rule
Speaker 1: is that, okay, if somebody's not resisting. We didn't see
Speaker 1: any resistance of mister Floyd. And if somebody is handcuffed,
Speaker 1: this is over. He gets that person gets put in
Speaker 1: the back of a police car. You don't keep your
Speaker 1: knee on their neck of all places, the most sensitive
Speaker 1: part of the human anatomy, for that long a period
Speaker 1: period of time. And when you watch the end of
Speaker 1: the video, I don't know if you've ever watched the
Speaker 1: whole thing and gone right to the end. I have,
Speaker 1: and it is chilling when you have. I don't they
Speaker 1: actually look They don't look like paramedics, even they had
Speaker 1: the bulletproof vests on. And that kind of surprised me.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I think. I think you make
Speaker 1: a good point. There's officers that were clearly or standing around,
Speaker 1: and it didn't seem that anybody was intervening or saying hey, like,
Speaker 1: I think you're good. I don't think we need to
Speaker 1: do this any longer. Maybe stand them up, you know.
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the things that a
Speaker 1: lot of people are very upset about, is that you've got,
Speaker 1: you know, other officers stand there foreign total and they
Speaker 1: you know, they made another image. Did you see the
Speaker 1: image that came out last night from the other side
Speaker 1: of the street. Yeah, at one point there's three officers
Speaker 1: down on their knees and you know, on pretty much
Speaker 1: on top of the guy. It's just wrong. It's just wrong.
Speaker 1: I mean it is that. It is wrong. And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the one contradiction I find in the riot
Speaker 1: that I'm curious if anybody's going to bring up, is
Speaker 1: that when people were peacefully protesting about wanting to get
Speaker 1: back to work and following you know, safety precautions, they
Speaker 1: were told that they were out of line for safely
Speaker 1: you know, protesting. And then you have people out there
Speaker 1: blowing up you know, police stations and setting them on
Speaker 1: fire and looting their own communities during a pandemic. And
Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know, that's it's not that it's
Speaker 1: you know, condoned, but there seems to be a different standard.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, you know, I got criticized.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think there's anybody on air radio
Speaker 1: TV that I can think of with now a twenty
Speaker 1: five year track record on Fox News, thirty one years
Speaker 1: in radio, that is as pro law enforcement as I am,
Speaker 1: and pro Second Amendment as I am. I think you know, well, no,
Speaker 1: that's not true. I think I've read because once a
Speaker 1: year the one of the New York tabloids, I think
Speaker 1: usually the Daily News will write an article about you
Speaker 1: know who in New York City has a legal carry permit.
Speaker 1: I'm very difficult to get. You don't get it unless
Speaker 1: you have a legitimate reason. I have one. I mis
Speaker 1: had one, Stern had one, Donald Trump had one, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump Junior had one. And you get the same names
Speaker 1: pretty much every year. It's like they're shaming you that
Speaker 1: you believe in the Second Amendment. And I did say
Speaker 1: at the time, and Mike Huckabee had a better line
Speaker 1: than I did. It said it much better than I
Speaker 1: did when he said, just because you have the right
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you should. And when I saw these guys
Speaker 1: dressed in militia and tactical gear, you know, and they're
Speaker 1: you know what looks like you know, they're long rifles
Speaker 1: or rs with them. Okay, I don't want you to
Speaker 1: lose your Second Amendment rights. E I will defend your
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, but it doesn't mean it was the
Speaker 1: right thing to do. Because my argument is you're not
Speaker 1: going to be heard. No, I agree with you. It
Speaker 1: gives the wrong impression, you know, optics or everything. But
Speaker 1: my whole point is just that everybody should be peacefully protesting,
Speaker 1: you know, because we don't want to lose our message
Speaker 1: and the violence. We want to come out and say
Speaker 1: this is wrong. We are unified and if peopularity and
Speaker 1: people again, you can. You have a right to carry
Speaker 1: all the years, and I've had carry permits in Rhode Island, California, Alabama,
Speaker 1: and in New York are You're hard to get him
Speaker 1: in some of these states, but I got them. I
Speaker 1: had legitimate reasons, and I've carried all of my adult life.
Speaker 1: But you don't see it. You know. I tried never
Speaker 1: to let my kids really see it. If I let
Speaker 1: them know I had it, so you know, and taught
Speaker 1: them gun safety, but it's also locked up the second
Speaker 1: that I get in the house and a fingerprint safe
Speaker 1: right next to my bed, which is you know, I'm
Speaker 1: I believe in responsible gun ownership because otherwise, once you inflame,
Speaker 1: that that immediately puts everybody's guard up again. If you're
Speaker 1: carrying concealed, you're not putting it you're not scaring everybody,
Speaker 1: but you still have the right to protect yourself. God
Speaker 1: forbid something ever happens to anybody anywhere. But my point
Speaker 1: is what you're saying exactly. So people went I got
Speaker 1: slammed for that. But you were right though, because people
Speaker 1: went to these protests where we want to reopen Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: we want to reopen New Jersey, we want to reopen
Speaker 1: our states so that people can feed their kids and
Speaker 1: pay their mortgage because they're not viable applicants that can
Speaker 1: get all of this PPP and the assistance, and they're
Speaker 1: not getting the stimulus checks, so they and their message
Speaker 1: is not going to get hurt fifteen or twenty people
Speaker 1: in tactical gear with their air or fifteen and so
Speaker 1: my analogy is one hundred percent. When we have this
Speaker 1: horrible situation where we are unified on the aggressive use
Speaker 1: of force and how terrible this whole thing is, you know,
Speaker 1: the message should not be lost and people that are
Speaker 1: coming in and looting their own neighborhoods and vandalizing their
Speaker 1: own stores and banks. This is not what we need.
Speaker 1: It's like, we need to be solidarity, peaceful protests, and
Speaker 1: the media needs to respond the same way across the board. Um,
Speaker 1: great points. Everybody needs to listen. We lost one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy businesses last night. So sad, I'm watching this
Speaker 1: and I never thought I'd see it in this country. Now,
Speaker 1: this first degree murder charge, manslaughter charge, third degree murder
Speaker 1: requires reckless or negligent behavior. First degree has intent and premeditation.
Speaker 1: Second again, when the charge people, you gotta remember too,
Speaker 1: when you're charging them, you have a standard ultimately that
Speaker 1: you are going to have to meet that will convince
Speaker 1: a jury, hopefully fair and impartial, not like Roger Stone's
Speaker 1: jury beyond a reasonable doubt. You have to convince twelve people.
Speaker 1: Secondary murder means intent. Did that officer intend to kill
Speaker 1: that person? That's a very high bar to prove in
Speaker 1: a court of law. Defense attorneys, they're really good. Third
Speaker 1: degree murder, which he was charged with, is reckless or
Speaker 1: negligent behavior. Well, that's where the argument will come in
Speaker 1: on the and the tape will be evidence. A through
Speaker 1: Z and I. I believe that thing will be played fast,
Speaker 1: it will be played slow, It will be still stored,
Speaker 1: It will be put all over the place in every
Speaker 1: imaginable way. I read earlier the comments of the Attorney
Speaker 1: General Bar. This one officer now has been arrested. Remember
Speaker 1: the President's comments immediately, very quickly put out at my request,
Speaker 1: The FBI the Department of Justice are already well into
Speaker 1: an investigation as to the very sad and the very
Speaker 1: tragic death in Minnesota of George Floyd. I have asked
Speaker 1: for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all
Speaker 1: the work done by local law enforcement, local beds. Attorney
Speaker 1: General bar said, they're working together. My heart goes out
Speaker 1: to George's family and friends, and justice will be served.
Speaker 1: That's the president of the United States. Now there are
Speaker 1: other tweets that were went out there today, and of
Speaker 1: course you have the media just trying to jump on
Speaker 1: anything any word that Donald Trump says. I think the
Speaker 1: President was very clear. Justice has got to be served
Speaker 1: and move move fast. Anyway, he says, looting leads to shooting,
Speaker 1: and that's why a man was shot and killed in
Speaker 1: Minneapolis on Wednesday night. Or look at what happened in Louisville,
Speaker 1: seven people shot. I don't want this to happen. And
Speaker 1: that's what the expression put out last night means. Now
Speaker 1: what they're referring to is that quote he said, these
Speaker 1: thugs are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd. I won't
Speaker 1: let that happen. Just spoke to the governor, Tim Waltz,
Speaker 1: told him that the military is with him all the way.
Speaker 1: Any difficulty, we will assume control. But when the looting starts,
Speaker 1: the shooting starts, well, the President is basically saying, that's
Speaker 1: what's been happening. Get control of this. And he said,
Speaker 1: I can't stand back and watch this happen to a
Speaker 1: great American city, Minneapolis, a total lack of leadership either
Speaker 1: very weak radical left mayor get his act together and
Speaker 1: bring the city under control, or are going to send
Speaker 1: it in the National Guard and get the job done right.
Speaker 1: That's what he was saying. And that's what he said.
Speaker 1: Looting leads to shooting, and you know, look look at
Speaker 1: how many lives are in danger now as these nights
Speaker 1: continue to unfold. It is it's shock. It is so
Speaker 1: sad and self destructive. I don't think you're ever gonna
Speaker 1: see a system of justice ever work this fast. You're saying,
Speaker 1: but Hannity, look at the video. I'm saying, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the video. But I'm telling you to fire a
Speaker 1: civil servant. It is usually a bureaucratic nightmare. And when
Speaker 1: you don't have and this is where I think videos
Speaker 1: are a great thing. I've been saying for years. I
Speaker 1: want cops with cameras on them. It's good for them
Speaker 1: and it's good for everybody else. And if you have
Speaker 1: the camera, and you have the video, and you have
Speaker 1: the audio, there is far less room for lying that
Speaker 1: goes on or whatever different might have. So we don't
Speaker 1: want this repeat tonight. I don't know what the prosecutor
Speaker 1: had been saying when he originally said Mike Freeman. And
Speaker 1: you know, at one point he said, and there is
Speaker 1: other evidence does not support a criminal charge. We need
Speaker 1: to weigh through all of that evidence to come through
Speaker 1: with a meaningful determination. We're doing our best, the best
Speaker 1: of our ability, and they clarified the county attorney. Freeman
Speaker 1: was saying that it's critical to review all of the
Speaker 1: evidence because at the time of the trial, invariably all
Speaker 1: of that information will be used, Okay, And he said
Speaker 1: evidence not favorable to our case needs to be carefully
Speaker 1: examined to understand the full picture of what actually happened. Now,
Speaker 1: the Attorney's office says the review of evidence happens in
Speaker 1: every case. The statement does not indicate in any way,
Speaker 1: you know, the horror of what we're seeing. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what the hell the guy's talking about. To be
Speaker 1: perfectly frank with you, we'll get to this later with
Speaker 1: Leo Terrell and Larry Elder. Obama's weighed in, and you know,
Speaker 1: if you think back, let's see twenty fifteen. I believe
Speaker 1: he was the president. Yeah, that's when what happened in
Speaker 1: Baltimore and trey Von. You know, that could be me
Speaker 1: or you know, someone like my son. You know, he
Speaker 1: had a he had an attorney general that you know,
Speaker 1: said we're a nation of cowards when it comes to race,
Speaker 1: hands up, don't shoot. Yeah, that one happened in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: That never happened. And the reason that everyone in the
Speaker 1: media was wrong and we were right, just like Cambridge Police,
Speaker 1: just like Duke Lacrosse, just like UVA, and that we
Speaker 1: were right on all these case because we did our
Speaker 1: due diligence. Now, in this particular case, considering the length
Speaker 1: of time, the varying shots of video available, I can't
Speaker 1: see I'm looking as fairly and as objectively as I can,
Speaker 1: and our eyes don't lie to us in this case,
Speaker 1: and you can't dispel common sense apply to specific video.
Speaker 1: I don't believe in trial by video. Eight plus minutes
Speaker 1: is an awful long time, and I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: try to understand this. It's very hard. But anyway, the
Speaker 1: cop has now been arrested. He's now been charged with
Speaker 1: manslaughter and third degree murder. George Floyd and the cops
Speaker 1: apparently they knew each other from some club. They might
Speaker 1: have both worked at those details. I'm sure we'll be
Speaker 1: coming out over time, Abe Klobuchar, Well, she passed by
Speaker 1: the way. She you know, in the running to be
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's running mate, found herself under fire for not
Speaker 1: prosecuting years ago. This police officer a videotape kneeling on
Speaker 1: mister Floyd this week, and now she's under huge fire
Speaker 1: over this. Well, lot more of those details coming up.
Speaker 1: Also going to get you an update as it relates
Speaker 1: to General Flynn and the Kisley Act. Call with John
Speaker 1: Solomon and Greg Jarrett at the top of the next hour,
Speaker 1: all right, and Leo Terrell and Larry Elder coming up.
Speaker 1: All right, our two Gladuate with US toll free. It
Speaker 1: is eight hundred and nine four one sean if you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program, and in
Speaker 1: just a few minutes we'll update you. We expect the
Speaker 1: Kisley Act General Flynn transcripts to finally come out, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to go over this with John Solomon and
Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett and just a second. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: very very interesting that and I just saw that media.
Speaker 1: I put this up. You know, in spite of what
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy buildings now impacted by the rioting
Speaker 1: and the looting, and those that set many of these
Speaker 1: two dozen of these buildings ablaze. Apparently over there at
Speaker 1: the Conspiracy Channel Network ms DNC, they had a reporter
Speaker 1: there Ali, I don't even know the person at Belshi
Speaker 1: Belshi Okay, assuring viewers Thursday evening that the uprising was
Speaker 1: quote not generally unruly, and he was reporting it while
Speaker 1: a building behind him was up in flames. Quote there
Speaker 1: at least four fires I can see, and that's just
Speaker 1: in this small radius, he said, before referring to the
Speaker 1: fire behind him. Obviously some are very active, as one
Speaker 1: is very obviously spread to the buildings on either side
Speaker 1: of it, the liquor store and the shop to the left.
Speaker 1: Then he added, the National Guard has been activated. They're
Speaker 1: not here, by the way, they should have been. The
Speaker 1: police are not here. They should have been there too.
Speaker 1: The police have been evacuated. The fire engines can't get
Speaker 1: in here. There's no ability to bring anybody in here
Speaker 1: to solve this problem. So I want to be clear
Speaker 1: and how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest.
Speaker 1: It is not generally speaking unruly. Okay, then you haven't,
Speaker 1: anchor Craig Melvin, suggesting on Twitter that the network will
Speaker 1: be referring to the unrest as protesting rather than rioting,
Speaker 1: just joining us. The police officer that put his knee
Speaker 1: on the neck of George Floyd has now been charged
Speaker 1: with third degree murder and manslaughter. I read earlier the
Speaker 1: comments of the President. I read earlier the comments of
Speaker 1: the Attorney General. I reminded you of the President putting
Speaker 1: the FBI Department of Justice Civil Rights Division they were
Speaker 1: well into their investigation, and that in fact he wanted
Speaker 1: it expedited. His heart goes out to George's family and friends.
Speaker 1: Justice will be served, moving quite quickly. That is four
Speaker 1: days that we now know this happened, So we expect
Speaker 1: finally the release. I've been hearing rumors all day as
Speaker 1: it relates to the General Flynn KISLEYAC you know is
Speaker 1: soon to be counterpart Hall's plural that had taken place.
Speaker 1: By the way, even Susan Rice Samantha Powers said now
Speaker 1: when recently released testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, that
Speaker 1: both of them talked to their counterparts prior to them
Speaker 1: working for the Obama administration. And then remember this whole
Speaker 1: issue of well, what's our goal? Is our goal and
Speaker 1: admission is our goal to get him to lie so
Speaker 1: we can prosecute him or get him fired. Remember that anyway,
Speaker 1: So Catherine Herridge just tweeted out a reminder and that
Speaker 1: is that what it was that the Special Council had
Speaker 1: put out there in terms of what the charges were
Speaker 1: against General Flynn. There's one big problem with these charges here,
Speaker 1: and they go through a timeline that neither Struck nor
Speaker 1: Page I'm sorry, Struck, nor the other special agent that
Speaker 1: interviewed General Flynn on January twenty fourth thought he was lying.
Speaker 1: Neither one of them thought that. I got to remember
Speaker 1: that point. Now we could even take it a step further,
Speaker 1: just to remind you, because this is very important knowing
Speaker 1: the truth, understanding the truth. You know, aside from telling
Speaker 1: us that the agents who interviewed Flynn didn't think he
Speaker 1: was lying, Comey himself told us he didn't really know
Speaker 1: if he lied at all, said it was a close
Speaker 1: call anyway. So my sources telling me that in fact,
Speaker 1: these transcripts they've now been transmitted to Congress after the
Speaker 1: D and I declassification. I assume that would be the
Speaker 1: new Director Ratcliffe, and my sources telling me that it's
Speaker 1: pretty much what General Flynn said, right. Jarrett, Fox News
Speaker 1: legal analysts, author of two best selling books on this topic,
Speaker 1: Russia Hoax, witch Hunt. John Solomon, Fox News contributor, investigative reporter,
Speaker 1: and he is the editor in chief of just thedews
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, let's start with what both of
Speaker 1: you are hearing. John will start on the reporter side. Yeah, So,
Speaker 1: for sure, five transcripts of calls were transmitted this afternoon
Speaker 1: to send nitors Johnson, Homeland Security Senator Graham Senate Judiciary,
Speaker 1: and Marco Rubio, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman. The transcripts themselves
Speaker 1: have not yet been released, but my sources tell me
Speaker 1: that they showed there was extraordinarily minimal discussion going on
Speaker 1: between Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergei kiss Leak about sanctions.
Speaker 1: It mostly focused on the expulsion of diplomats and not
Speaker 1: needing to respond right away, no substantive discussion about sanctions
Speaker 1: or what would come ahead or after. These will be
Speaker 1: very eye opening to everybody who reads them, because remember,
Speaker 1: Mueller got Flynn to plead to something that may not
Speaker 1: actually be reflected in the transcripts. Now, Greg Jarrett. From
Speaker 1: the legal standpoint, it was a good reminder. I think
Speaker 1: of our former colleague, our friend Catherine Herridge now at
Speaker 1: CBS putting out there the charges against General Flynn because
Speaker 1: they said that he willfully knowingly made materially false, fictitious,
Speaker 1: fraudulent statements representations in a matter within the jurisdiction of
Speaker 1: the executive branch of the Government of the United States
Speaker 1: to the defendant falsely stated and represented to agents of
Speaker 1: the FBI. Right, we now know that's not what happens.
Speaker 1: We know what the FBI agents really thought, and that
Speaker 1: means that Mueller now to me, is now culpable. He
Speaker 1: needs to be brought in Oh, absolutely, These transcripts are
Speaker 1: going to demonstrate what a horrible miscarriage of justice this was,
Speaker 1: and Flynn was the victim. There's a reason why these
Speaker 1: transcripts have been hidden for three years. That's because Muller
Speaker 1: and his team of partisans, as well as Comey's FBI
Speaker 1: Peter Struck, Joe Pienka, Lisa Page, Andrew McKay, they didn't
Speaker 1: want people to see that. In fact, there was almost
Speaker 1: no discussion or minimal discussion of sanctions, which and that's important.
Speaker 1: It means that when Pienka and Struck, at the behest
Speaker 1: of Comey and McKay went in to interview Flynn, they
Speaker 1: had no grounds to do so. They were citing a
Speaker 1: Logan Act. But I bet you when we see the
Speaker 1: transcripts there will be nothing in there that would have
Speaker 1: constituted a Logan Act violation, which means that Flynn was
Speaker 1: simply set up and framed as we've suspected all along.
Speaker 1: You know, once this case is dismissed, and it will
Speaker 1: be dismissed, Flynn should turn around and sue not just
Speaker 1: Muller and the lawyers involved, but the FBI as well.
Speaker 1: And frankly, he ought to sue his prior lawyers who
Speaker 1: he fired lawyers at Burlington and Covington and Burling, because
Speaker 1: they should never have recommended that he accept a guilty plea.
Speaker 1: They were conflicted and they didn't step aside from the
Speaker 1: case when they should have. Your take, John Solomon, I
Speaker 1: don't think I could say it much better than that.
Speaker 1: I mean, Greg rarely captures all the issues. Imagine pleading
Speaker 1: to a crime without ever seeing the transcripts to make
Speaker 1: sure that what the FBI is telling you is true. Remember,
Speaker 1: Flynn has never had these transcripts, and of course neither
Speaker 1: has the American public. And today John Ratcliffe and Rick
Speaker 1: Grannell made it possible for all of us to make
Speaker 1: our own judgment for the first time. I assume these
Speaker 1: will be released in the next hour or two by
Speaker 1: the senators and we'll get to see really what the
Speaker 1: conversation was. Keep in mind all of the intent issues
Speaker 1: around Flynn. When Flynn talked to Andy mccaye, When Andy
Speaker 1: mcape said I'm sending a couple of guys over to
Speaker 1: talk to him, he said, I got nothing to hide.
Speaker 1: You already have the transcripts, so you already know. So
Speaker 1: Flynn assumed the FBI had the transcripts, and then when
Speaker 1: the agents came back, they didn't feel like Flynn was
Speaker 1: being deceptive or dishonest, and that includes Pete Struck himself.
Speaker 1: They wrote in their notes they didn't find any deception
Speaker 1: that it was possibly just simply didn't remember such passing
Speaker 1: references to things like expulsions. So glimpse, it's crazy, the
Speaker 1: one glimpse we got into the original three h two. Hey,
Speaker 1: what did we learn there? Well, they did not believe
Speaker 1: that he was being dishonest. In fact, at one point,
Speaker 1: Flynn said it's possible. The three or two quoted Flynn
Speaker 1: is saying, it's possible I might have had something. I
Speaker 1: just don't remember it. So he was trying to be honest.
Speaker 1: He wasn't trying to open He kept open the possibility
Speaker 1: that maybe there was a brief discussion about it, the
Speaker 1: idea that that constitutes a willful and intentional lie. I
Speaker 1: think when people look at these transcripts today, they're going
Speaker 1: to get a sense of just how Finn this whole
Speaker 1: sharad wash. You know, Greg, I look at all of this,
Speaker 1: and now we know Papadopoulos that there was nothing there
Speaker 1: in exculpatory evidence with hell that we know that. You know,
Speaker 1: we watched the process crimes and the pre dawn raids
Speaker 1: for Manaphort, Roger Stone, you know, twenty nine guys tactical gear,
Speaker 1: CNN cameras lying to Congress. I mean, it's ridiculous. Now
Speaker 1: we know the Manaphort case. This never should have come
Speaker 1: up because that case was dead had they not manufactured
Speaker 1: this whole Russia collusion conspiracy theory while ignoring Hillary's dirty
Speaker 1: nazier And now we know in the case of General Flynn.
Speaker 1: Probably now and by the way, Stone doesn't get an
Speaker 1: infair and impartial jury. The jury fourth person hates Roger
Speaker 1: Stone stated it publicly before the trial. If that's not
Speaker 1: a cause for a new trial, I don't know what is. Now.
Speaker 1: You see General Flynn, and you see this corruption and
Speaker 1: this abuse of power what I've been saying, the biggest
Speaker 1: corruption abuse of power scandal in history. Now it looks
Speaker 1: like General Flynn was a massive victim in all of this.
Speaker 1: He was, and in fact, all of the people, including
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump, were victimized by this. You know the
Speaker 1: document that came out in the last ten days. There
Speaker 1: very few people who paid attention to except for John
Speaker 1: Solomon and Kevin Brock, former Assistant director of the FBI
Speaker 1: for Intelligence. I wrote about it in my column today.
Speaker 1: That document was the opening document, the electronic communication that
Speaker 1: launched the entire Trump Russia collusion investigation January thirty, first,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. When you look at that document, it does
Speaker 1: not justify the opening of a probe. There's no crime sided,
Speaker 1: there's no evidence in support of it. They did it
Speaker 1: because they didn't like Trump, and so without justification, they
Speaker 1: opened a probe and it took a life of its
Speaker 1: own because the people behind it at the FBI and
Speaker 1: intelligence community hated Trump and they were determined to sabotage him.
Speaker 1: That is what that communication proves. Last exit question for
Speaker 1: both of you, and a hat tip to both of you.
Speaker 1: You both have worked so hard on this case and
Speaker 1: we've all been vindicated here and the mob and the
Speaker 1: media they've all been They've now been shown to be
Speaker 1: the biggest liars ever in the media. I mean, it
Speaker 1: is spectacular in their group think Trump psychosis. Do you
Speaker 1: believe now, John Solomon, more than ever the people will
Speaker 1: be held accountable because I do, especially with the announcement
Speaker 1: of the DJ on my show two nights ago that
Speaker 1: this whole unmasking thing is now being looked at levels
Speaker 1: we never dreamed of. Yeah, I listen. I think there's
Speaker 1: going to be some minor prosecutions. I want to say minor,
Speaker 1: could be serious prosecutions, but of a handful of people.
Speaker 1: I think there'll be disciplinary action against other people. And
Speaker 1: then I think there'll be a lot of public shaming.
Speaker 1: And that shaming may start next week when we get
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein on the stand and Congress and he asked
Speaker 1: to explain how he signed to bad face him and
Speaker 1: then pointed to a special prosecutor for a crime that
Speaker 1: already been disproven. That's the process that we're gonna follow.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a little bit in each
Speaker 1: of those three buckets. All right, thank you all for you.
Speaker 1: Good by the way. One last thing, maybe the Washington
Speaker 1: Post to New York Times should give back what do
Speaker 1: they get pollet surprises for their phony rush reporting. If
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, John, I think they did right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think they got one. I think one of them
Speaker 1: involved that that reporting. But yeah, you didn't move forward
Speaker 1: and get the truth out, that's the most important thing. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe they should give it back. How's that. Maybe you
Speaker 1: should get it, maybe Greg should get it. I certainly
Speaker 1: don't deserve it. I won't take it. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: that though heads would explode, You'd see everybody in the
Speaker 1: mop their heads would turn around in circles and they projectile,
Speaker 1: vomit green something green, pea soup. Want to see good
Speaker 1: reporting on To read Greg's books because he had it
Speaker 1: right before anyone else. I mean those books, aren't you Listen?
Speaker 1: March twenty seventeen is when you started the surveillance, unmasking, leaking,
Speaker 1: raw intelligence investigation, and you never stopped, both of you.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you. This is this is the thing
Speaker 1: you get after thirty three years of serving your country,
Speaker 1: including and in war zones. Unbelievable. Back to our top store.
Speaker 1: I still can't get over the I cannot believe with
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy buildings now impacted, windows busted, two
Speaker 1: dozen fires, set looting, robbing, all the damage and destruction. Now,
Speaker 1: by the way, and to update you, while this officer
Speaker 1: has been arrested, charged with third degree murder, I've given
Speaker 1: the distinctions of what that is. And it's very clear
Speaker 1: now that the President's weighed in. Now that the Attorney
Speaker 1: General has weighed in. We now know now justice is
Speaker 1: served four days later. It's very hard to fire somebody.
Speaker 1: But the videos that overwhelming in terms of what was
Speaker 1: done here was obviously so over the top, and justice
Speaker 1: is going to be served. Now, How does it help
Speaker 1: anybody at all? When there's universal agreement on this, there's
Speaker 1: no disagree that this isn't you know our versus d
Speaker 1: liberal versus conservative. I only hear again putting aside keyboard
Speaker 1: keyboard warriors in their underwear in their basements. There's universal condemnation.
Speaker 1: There's no identity politics here at all. This is everybody
Speaker 1: looking at it saying, Okay, if that was my son
Speaker 1: or daughter, wow, you would be outraged. This is the
Speaker 1: fellow American human being can happen here. So you know
Speaker 1: the fact that there are those that will politicize at
Speaker 1: a bomb et cetera. It just it's mind numbing, sad,
Speaker 1: sadly predictable. Well, a lot more on this in our
Speaker 1: final hour free Fall. We'll get to your calls next
Speaker 1: to eight hundred nine for one Sean that it's Leo
Speaker 1: Terrell and Larry Elder Hannity at nine. Set your DVR.
Speaker 1: We have a big show tonight, all right, twenty five
Speaker 1: till the top of the hour. Larry Elder Leo Terrell
Speaker 1: coming up at the top of the hour to debate
Speaker 1: this issue, what's going on in Minnesota? I mean, how
Speaker 1: does this city rebuild when one hundred and seventy businesses damaged, looted,
Speaker 1: and dozens of fires started and buildings burning down, including
Speaker 1: the police precinct. How do you get there anyway? Eight
Speaker 1: hundred nine one Sean, A lot of you've been waiting
Speaker 1: to get in. We'll check in with ron Is in
Speaker 1: Savannah in Georgia. Ron Welcome to the show. I prefer
Speaker 1: to say happy Friday, but not a lot of happy
Speaker 1: Friday today. Not a lot of happy Friday. Yes, so
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking my call so really quickly. I
Speaker 1: just want to let you know law enforcement retired eye,
Speaker 1: the internal fearis units. So I have police, the police.
Speaker 1: I know how serious it is. But one thing, one
Speaker 1: point I want to make to you and your listeners
Speaker 1: is this one officer does not represent law enforcement. And
Speaker 1: I want to say this that there are hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of other officers that would have given up their
Speaker 1: life for mister Floyd, not even knowing his name or
Speaker 1: anything about him. All of those officers every day go
Speaker 1: to work knowing that they might have to do the
Speaker 1: ultimate sacrifice people that they don't even know. And for
Speaker 1: the people that are listening, if you see an officer
Speaker 1: next to you, just know that he or she may
Speaker 1: have a family and that they're willing to risk their life.
Speaker 1: The other thing I want to say really quickly, I
Speaker 1: want to emphasize something here because this is very important,
Speaker 1: and I know when people are you know, get into
Speaker 1: a mindset and for example, Mike Tobin on the ground
Speaker 1: last night on Hannity, you know reporting there's a lot
Speaker 1: more drinking going on last night, and you know this
Speaker 1: isn't about a protest for a lot of people there.
Speaker 1: For some, it might be for some, I'm sure it
Speaker 1: is man for most maybe even, but for the people
Speaker 1: that would use what has happened here, in spite of
Speaker 1: universal condemnation of this videotape by everybody, this this cross
Speaker 1: does not cross universally everybody, every background, every political orientation,
Speaker 1: every racial orientation, it doesn't matter. There's universal condemnation of
Speaker 1: this and a quick call to justice. I told you
Speaker 1: what the Attorney General said, earlier today, for example. And
Speaker 1: you're right, that is what you said is true that
Speaker 1: there are officers that would be willing to step in
Speaker 1: at a moment's notice for anybody to save their lives
Speaker 1: one hundred percent true. This does not represent the vast
Speaker 1: majority of officers that have a very dangerous job that
Speaker 1: protect and serve. It has to be said. That's called perspective, DeShannon.
Speaker 1: I'd like to add, I'd even like to ask I've
Speaker 1: noticed that there's a lot of talks from chiefs of
Speaker 1: police condemning this. I would go so far as to
Speaker 1: ask the chiefs and the sheriffs of this country that
Speaker 1: the same respect that they give a fellow fallen officer
Speaker 1: by sending an officer to that community to represent themselves
Speaker 1: and show respect to this officer, I would like those
Speaker 1: chiefs and those sheriffs to possibly, you mean to mister Floyd.
Speaker 1: I would like to see, Yes, I would like to
Speaker 1: see all of the officers across this nation stand in
Speaker 1: respect to mister Floyd and attend his funeral, just as
Speaker 1: if they would have fallen brother. You know, symbolism gestures you.
Speaker 1: You look. It's like when anybody that you love care
Speaker 1: about dies it's you never have the right words. You
Speaker 1: know that there's nothing you're gonna say that's going to
Speaker 1: take their pain away, but you're there for them. I
Speaker 1: think that's a great idea. I think that is that
Speaker 1: would be a powerful message. Um yeah, I'm sorry. Sorry.
Speaker 1: It has been such a rough time in this country
Speaker 1: and I've seen a lot. I've witnessed a lot personally,
Speaker 1: and it needs to be done. The country needs to
Speaker 1: see that law enforcement is a caring profession. It's a
Speaker 1: it's it's a brotherhood, no doubt, but we are there
Speaker 1: to serve and protect and we truly we are in
Speaker 1: pain over this loss and the only way that it
Speaker 1: could ever be demonstrated is possibly by showing up and
Speaker 1: showing our respects. And we pray to God that this
Speaker 1: never happens again. Nobody deserves this. There are no words
Speaker 1: that can explain this away. And I appreciate your time today, sir.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you your time and your service all the years.
Speaker 1: How many years did you serve as a cop? Twenty six, Sir.
Speaker 1: I was involved in patrol. I was narcotics, I was training,
Speaker 1: I was an instructor, and I finished out on top
Speaker 1: and I was in the Internal Affaicial Unit, And for me,
Speaker 1: that was the greatest responsibility I had, and I appreciate it,
Speaker 1: and I loved what I did. I loved serving and
Speaker 1: I would have personally given up my life to protect
Speaker 1: anybody that I didn't even know. It would have meant
Speaker 1: the world to me, knowing that I did the best
Speaker 1: that I could. And there are hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: officers that share that same feeling. There's a very important
Speaker 1: book once says, no greater love hath any man than
Speaker 1: to lay down his life for his friends. Every cop
Speaker 1: I know, they most of them, they wanted to be cops,
Speaker 1: and since they were babies, they just this is what
Speaker 1: they were called to do with their lives. It's like teachers,
Speaker 1: so great teachers, I mean, you can never ever possibly
Speaker 1: compensate them. I know, we pay athletes huge amounts of money.
Speaker 1: I know we play pay stupid people on cable TV
Speaker 1: lots of money to be honest. Teachers, cops, firemen, nurses, doctors,
Speaker 1: the medical professionals, EMT guys, firemen, you know what. You know,
Speaker 1: we notice at certain times how great they are, and
Speaker 1: when one goes bad, we forget all the good that
Speaker 1: they did. All those cops, all those firemen that new
Speaker 1: they might die. On nine to eleven is probably the
Speaker 1: most I guess, dramatic example of this. They're going up
Speaker 1: and everyone's racing the hell down to get out of there,
Speaker 1: and they're going up to save lives. This is this
Speaker 1: is who they are. This defines their greatness, and we
Speaker 1: are lucky, we're honored to have most of those people
Speaker 1: that are great, dedicated professionals protecting and serving the communities
Speaker 1: they're working in or the cities that they're working in.
Speaker 1: And we do remember at times, but we don't remember
Speaker 1: at other times. And then when an incident like this,
Speaker 1: you know, they're sometimes as a tendency to say, oh
Speaker 1: everybody's no, not everybody is like that. We know better
Speaker 1: than that, but it does a lot of damage for
Speaker 1: all those people that are dedicated like you Ron that
Speaker 1: put your life on the line for twenty what seven
Speaker 1: years in service to the great people of Savannah. Anyway, sir,
Speaker 1: thank you for what you do. Uh John Wisconsin, John,
Speaker 1: you're on the Sean Hannity Show. Glad you're with us.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. First of all, I gotta say I'm
Speaker 1: only been listening for a couple of years. Um, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad I found you and I watched a show
Speaker 1: at night as well. And my steps on just graduated
Speaker 1: last year the Police Academy and we were talking at
Speaker 1: Lenked about it on how things how takedowns work. And
Speaker 1: I'm also a huge in the NAVAN. By the way,
Speaker 1: you should probably go on Joe Rogan's show once. It'd
Speaker 1: be probably a who I don't think he's ever, Linda's ever.
Speaker 1: Everyone invites us. If I went on everybody else's show,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have time to focus on my show. It
Speaker 1: would be interesting to hear. Well, if you're with you
Speaker 1: and Joe, I gotta say, And he's Joe Rogan is
Speaker 1: a huge MMA free too, so uh no, no, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm only great things about him. I don't have time
Speaker 1: to listen to other shows. So but I know friends
Speaker 1: of mine are are fans of them, people like him,
Speaker 1: and I hear, what do you know? Is he libertarian?
Speaker 1: I think he's libertarian. He actually was a supporter of
Speaker 1: Bernie and then he kind of like peeled off of
Speaker 1: that a little bit. I think he's an equal opportunity guy,
Speaker 1: you know, like whoever's in the mix. Bernie. Okay, you can't.
Speaker 1: You're not an equal opportunity guy. If you go that
Speaker 1: hard but serious Bernie or Biden, you know, not for nothing.
Speaker 1: I think I'd go with Bernie too, because Biden doesn't
Speaker 1: know what day it is. I say none of the above.
Speaker 1: I go for option A, which I'm with you. Maga, maga.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's no other option. Let's not discuss
Speaker 1: any other option. Um anyway, Well, listen, I appreciate. So
Speaker 1: I'll so your son came out of the academy. What
Speaker 1: what did he say as it relates to his training
Speaker 1: and people's next I'd like to know that. Okay, the
Speaker 1: neck is untouchable, it's now a sin on the shoulder
Speaker 1: blade in the back. That's it. And once they're that's it,
Speaker 1: they're done. They're off, and they they he trained it
Speaker 1: when Wisconsin at LTC Academy, and they are really good
Speaker 1: in proficient and non necessary force. They're really training the
Speaker 1: students a lot differently up here in Wisconsin. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: there are I will tell you this, there is a
Speaker 1: training issue. It's something. Look, I'm not going to get
Speaker 1: into every time I talk about my martial arts. Oh
Speaker 1: you think you're an expert. No, I'm a student. I
Speaker 1: am a student of the mark of martial arts. You know,
Speaker 1: my sense, say Linda, you know, when Glenn and I
Speaker 1: are together, it's like we're two children. I mean we're constantly,
Speaker 1: you know, doing moves on each other. I step out
Speaker 1: of the room. I don't want to get hurt. You
Speaker 1: don't have You guys are protected, You're very well. But
Speaker 1: I'm a student of the arts and you learn a lot.
Speaker 1: One of the things we have discussed for many years
Speaker 1: at length is he trains a lot of police officers
Speaker 1: for free. Now, my sense happened also happens to have
Speaker 1: a law degree. But this is his passion in life.
Speaker 1: He really loves what he does and in many ways
Speaker 1: it's transformed my life. And it's hard, it's not there's
Speaker 1: nothing easy about doing this an hour, hour and a
Speaker 1: half a day. I mean, Sean, every time you talk
Speaker 1: about it, you always say the same thing. You always say,
Speaker 1: I've been studying mixed martial arts. I have been practical student.
Speaker 1: You never you've never said I'm a man. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert. I mean Glenn doesn't even say that,
Speaker 1: you know, and always says he's learning. He always says
Speaker 1: he's learning. He goes around the world to these you know,
Speaker 1: these dojos that are in these remote places of the world,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what he does. He learns, and
Speaker 1: he also fights. I mean they have full contact fighting.
Speaker 1: I mean he's listen, he loves this. You've seen what
Speaker 1: pain day is like because we've demonstrated it to you. Hello.
Speaker 1: One of the things one of the things he does
Speaker 1: is that and this is why the neck is is
Speaker 1: it is such a sensitive area, the most sensitive in
Speaker 1: the body. And for self defense purposes, the strikes I've learned,
Speaker 1: if your life is on the line, one of those
Speaker 1: strikes that we practice almost daily goes right to It's
Speaker 1: sort of like how do I say this. You could
Speaker 1: take like the hard part of the back of your
Speaker 1: hand and throw it and whip it and pull it
Speaker 1: all the way through. You don't stop on contact and
Speaker 1: it would be literally on the side of either side
Speaker 1: of the neck into the jaw. That's that is a
Speaker 1: targeted strike. That one strike. If you do it well,
Speaker 1: and there are videos online, I don't want to put
Speaker 1: them up because if I do, then people are going
Speaker 1: to be, you know, critical of what I'm putting up,
Speaker 1: but if you want to, if you're interested, you can
Speaker 1: see what happens, because it'll knock you right on your ass.
Speaker 1: One strike right place on the carotid. You're going down,
Speaker 1: and that's one. That's one split second of the blood
Speaker 1: being caught off to your brain. That's it. And then
Speaker 1: if I've seen videos, people go down, they try to
Speaker 1: get up, they go down again. One strike. All right,
Speaker 1: we got about minute thirty, Jill, Oklahoma City, you're on
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. Joe glad you called. Thanks for
Speaker 1: taking my call. So as I have been considering all
Speaker 1: of the things about George Floyd and trying to figure
Speaker 1: out how it is that I what my opinion is
Speaker 1: a thing that occurred to me that I feel like
Speaker 1: kind of simplifies or maybe and that makes things more complicated.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure which. But the most important thing is
Speaker 1: is there's one thing that we all have in common,
Speaker 1: which is humanity. We are all human beings. And unless
Speaker 1: and until people start treating people nicely or stop hurting people,
Speaker 1: this and a lot of other things will not stop
Speaker 1: as long as there is us versus them, regardless of
Speaker 1: who the US is, regardless of who the them it are.
Speaker 1: It will not this will not stop. But you know what, Jill,
Speaker 1: in this case, there's no disagreement. There's no political there's
Speaker 1: not one party that agrees, one party of that disagrees.
Speaker 1: I don't see I don't see a racial divide on
Speaker 1: this in terms of the outrage and indignation of what
Speaker 1: people saw here. The President couldn't have been any more clear,
Speaker 1: The Attorney General couldn't be any more clear. The officers
Speaker 1: were fired, and it's usually hard to fire a police
Speaker 1: officer in record time. And now the fired officer has
Speaker 1: been arrested for the death of George Floyd and an
Speaker 1: enlarge part I would say that video evidence it will
Speaker 1: now keep the one percent, hopefully more honest, because we
Speaker 1: don't ever want injustice. It's like Barry Scheck the Innocence Project.
Speaker 1: How many people are on death row and then we
Speaker 1: get new DNA capabilities, They go back, they rediscover open
Speaker 1: up the case, cold case. Oh the guy was innocent.
Speaker 1: We gotta get these things right. Anyway, appreciate the call.
Speaker 1: I just want to tell you this is strike three.
Speaker 1: It's already happened the first time. It should have happened
Speaker 1: the second time. It should have happened the third time.
Speaker 1: It's out. Now we're going to Commons House and we
Speaker 1: gonna chok that new too. We gonna up. A matter
Speaker 1: of fact, we got a two for one room one
Speaker 1: of us tour yours and they said Motherfood times, because
Speaker 1: y'all don't want none. There's more of us. Do you do?
Speaker 1: What's up? Exactly? We're coming for your news. This is
Speaker 1: only the beginning, motherfood. What's up? Huh? Exactly? Respectless, because
Speaker 1: next time this is your mother house out there at Oakville.
Speaker 1: You do live here? When we call in the house,
Speaker 1: right down, don't cut my face. Their precinct is on
Speaker 1: fire and right here I'm anni haha. Liquor is on
Speaker 1: fire as well. People are shooting off fireworks to celebrate.
Speaker 1: There are still tons of people out here. Following last night,
Speaker 1: I got a call from a friend and a dedicated
Speaker 1: public servant, Senator Torres Ray called in her district and
Speaker 1: it was on fire and there weren't any police there.
Speaker 1: There weren't any firefighters, there was no social control, and
Speaker 1: her constituents were locked in their house wondering what they
Speaker 1: were going to do. That is an abject failure. That
Speaker 1: cannot happen. We must restore that order to that. Senator
Speaker 1: torres Ray has fought her whole life on these issues
Speaker 1: of inequities and making sure that people's voices are lifted up.
Speaker 1: But what she understands is none of us can lift
Speaker 1: those voices. None of us can tackle these problems if
Speaker 1: anarchy reigns on the street. In terms of the business
Speaker 1: owners in this area, they're they're devastated, some of them.
Speaker 1: We talked to a man yesterday who put his life
Speaker 1: savings into a sports bar that was about to open up.
Speaker 1: And you know, he canceled his insurance a few weeks
Speaker 1: ago with the pandemic because obviously no business, so he
Speaker 1: was trying to save money, and now his business has
Speaker 1: been destroyed. There was looting there yesterday. In fact, we
Speaker 1: had video of two people in broad daylight trying to
Speaker 1: steal his safe. And so that is an example of
Speaker 1: someone a business owner in this area, a relatively young guy,
Speaker 1: probably in his mid thirties, who had put his life
Speaker 1: savings into this sports bar and now it's been destroyed.
Speaker 1: So you have a mix of emotions here all right. There.
Speaker 1: It is the tragedy that keeps unfolding and you know,
Speaker 1: you look at, for example, what happened last night the
Speaker 1: governor you heard in the middle of that you can't
Speaker 1: let this happen. You can't allow riots to take over
Speaker 1: the entire city, which in large part we all watched
Speaker 1: in horror unfolding last night, and it left behind a
Speaker 1: trail of burned out, looted building, smashed windows, stores devastated,
Speaker 1: much of the damage centering around the area of the
Speaker 1: Third Precinct, Minneapolis Police Precinct on Lake Street. And if
Speaker 1: you look at where the damage is, it's all over
Speaker 1: the place. I mean, we're looking at one location after
Speaker 1: another here to help shed light on this and where
Speaker 1: is this ultimately heading. You heard the other guys say, oh,
Speaker 1: this is a two for one, hey, one of ours,
Speaker 1: two of yours. I mean, it sounds like outright, you know,
Speaker 1: a cry to arms and war. Yet we have not
Speaker 1: had any disagreement that I've heard about what we see
Speaker 1: on that tape, except from the one prosecutor who I'm
Speaker 1: not really understanding. From there, we bring back Larry Elder,
Speaker 1: radio host, executive producer. He has an upcoming documentary he'll
Speaker 1: tell us about. Also Leo Terrell, American civil rights attorney,
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. You've heard my comments at length
Speaker 1: about these You know how I feel, and you know
Speaker 1: how I also feel about Okay, you cannot destroy your
Speaker 1: city and put everyone in that city in jeopardy. And
Speaker 1: they are moving heaven and earth at the FBI and
Speaker 1: Department of Justice at the President's order to get justice
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. Sean, I want to tell you
Speaker 1: right now, on the last two days, I've been watching
Speaker 1: your program. I'm proud of you. I agree with everything
Speaker 1: you have said the last two days on this subject.
Speaker 1: I will do anything you want on this issue because
Speaker 1: there's no questions. There's a universe to acceptance that these
Speaker 1: officers did wrong. But I am not going to sit here,
Speaker 1: and I have from minute credibility as a civil rights attorney.
Speaker 1: We usually disagree, but I am embarrassed by the looting
Speaker 1: and the rioting and what is going on and the
Speaker 1: pretext of those people out there are upset with the killing. No,
Speaker 1: they're criminals, They're outright criminals. I'm also embarrassed by the
Speaker 1: Democrat who will talk about the tragedy of the killing,
Speaker 1: but we'll give lift service to the outright criminal conduct
Speaker 1: that is going on. Not just in Minnesota, everywhere. I
Speaker 1: am not going to be part of that crowd. I
Speaker 1: am going to be lockstep with you and Larry on
Speaker 1: this issue. And what makes it more embarrassing for the
Speaker 1: Democrat we live Larry and I live in California. It's
Speaker 1: a democratic blue state. If we got so much police corruption,
Speaker 1: I mean police corruption, we'll do something. You're in charge
Speaker 1: of the government, you're in charge of the police department.
Speaker 1: It's a deep blue state here in California, Minnesota, same thing.
Speaker 1: And the thing that makes it so amazing is I
Speaker 1: will submit to you that ninety nine percent of all
Speaker 1: everyone out there who's variety of protesting, they don't vote,
Speaker 1: They don't get involved in the process. You cannot criticize
Speaker 1: legal illegal misconduct by conducting illegal misconduct. So in some way,
Speaker 1: let me just be very clear, I hope those who
Speaker 1: are opposed to you on all those issues, I hope
Speaker 1: they're listening to Leo Trill on your program to day
Speaker 1: because all the Democrats, all the politicians who play this
Speaker 1: double game, they're wrong, They're absolutely wrong. They should be
Speaker 1: out there speaking right now on stopping this criminal behavior
Speaker 1: of looting and writing. Let me bring in Larry Elder.
Speaker 1: You know what, Larry Dude standon Bongino who first said it.
Speaker 1: I think it was television and maybe yesterday on the
Speaker 1: radio show. Imagine that as your son or daughter with
Speaker 1: that knee on that neck for that long a period
Speaker 1: of time. It's shocking. But on the other hand, I'm
Speaker 1: listening to Leo. The only thing I'm slight disagreement with
Speaker 1: Leo is he does not have to be embarrassed. He's
Speaker 1: not a part of this. He's calling for calm as
Speaker 1: you are, as I am, but let's not destroy this
Speaker 1: city and destroy business has already hurt your thoughts. Well, Sean,
Speaker 1: I sit here and I listen to Leo. My jaw
Speaker 1: is on the floor. So somebody has read pilled this man.
Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety two, Sean, there was a riot here
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, almost a week long, six days, sixty
Speaker 1: three people killed, almost three thousand and twenty five hundred
Speaker 1: people are so injured, twelve thousand arrested, damages at least
Speaker 1: a billion, some people say two billion. And my friend
Speaker 1: Leo referred to that riot as a quote spring disturbance
Speaker 1: into quote. So I'm Leo that you've evolved and now
Speaker 1: you realize that when people trash a neighborhood, especially when
Speaker 1: they don't live there, property values are lowered, income is
Speaker 1: lowered indefinitely, and these cities never recover. It doesn't help
Speaker 1: if you refer to rioters as spring disturbers. Maxine Waters
Speaker 1: called it a rebellion, and Leo Toorell used the very
Speaker 1: same language that Maxine Waters did in the early nineties.
Speaker 1: So Leo, I'm happy you've been red peeled. I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened, but thank goodness that common sense has
Speaker 1: somehow intruded its way into Leo Toorell's brain, and this
Speaker 1: is a good thing. Another way you can find Leo
Speaker 1: at the Leo Terrell on Twitter. I'm looking at what
Speaker 1: is an unmitigated disaster for an American city. You know,
Speaker 1: as if we have not had enough pain, enough suffering
Speaker 1: businesses have not struggled enough during this entire pandemic. Now
Speaker 1: we're trying to come out on the other end of this,
Speaker 1: reopen the country. I can't think of anything more devastating.
Speaker 1: If I started reading Leo Terrell all of the businesses
Speaker 1: that have had damage, all the ones that were put
Speaker 1: ablaze last night, I would spend the next hour of
Speaker 1: this program doing that. You are absolutely right, and these
Speaker 1: writers and criminals were they picked on minority businesses, white businesses,
Speaker 1: people of all different colors. I've been watching it throughout
Speaker 1: the last forty eight hours and it's it's just what's
Speaker 1: the logic a license to steal base and to exploit
Speaker 1: the tragedy of a black man being murdered and to
Speaker 1: use as a pretext. This is a total destruction in
Speaker 1: the time of a pandemic, in a time where Blacks
Speaker 1: are disproportionately being ill killed, murder ill by the pandemic,
Speaker 1: and yet they're exploiting this current situation. It's just inexcusable.
Speaker 1: And what we need to have is this dialogue of
Speaker 1: these politicians and these political pundits. I don't want to
Speaker 1: mention those inferior I'm saying inferior other cable networks that
Speaker 1: put on a spin on this issue and talk about
Speaker 1: the tragedy, tragedy of the murder of George Fords, which
Speaker 1: we all agree, but give total lip service to the
Speaker 1: criminal conduct that is going on. This gotta stop. Sean
Speaker 1: yeah again, jaw on the floor. Leo Terrell is one
Speaker 1: of those who has been three years promoting the notion
Speaker 1: that blacks larry on this issue and an agreement I
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't an agreement I didn't, I didn't interrupt you.
Speaker 1: Leo has been one of those arguing that blacks have
Speaker 1: been characterized by a systemic, institutional, structurally racist police department
Speaker 1: in our country, when the evidence shows the opposite. According
Speaker 1: to the CDC, police trillings against blacks have declined seventy
Speaker 1: five percent over the last forty five years, while police
Speaker 1: shooting is against whites have flat line. It is extremely
Speaker 1: unusual for the police to kill anybody, let alone a
Speaker 1: black person, let alone an unarmed black person. In a
Speaker 1: recent year, the police have killed more unarmed whits than
Speaker 1: unarmed brass I bet you most of the people in
Speaker 1: your audience couldn't name an unarmed white person. Why because
Speaker 1: the immediate cares about unarmed blacks. Couldn't give a rip
Speaker 1: about unarmed whites, because it doesn't advance their theory that
Speaker 1: racism remains a major parliam in America. The real problem
Speaker 1: in this country, far and away, in the black community,
Speaker 1: is the asfors of fathers, the afthens of fathers, the
Speaker 1: affens of fathers. That's one of the reasons evenlong black
Speaker 1: boys challenge the police so often when they do that,
Speaker 1: they don't have an improper respect for authority. They don't
Speaker 1: know how to deal with authority because they don't have
Speaker 1: it in their homes. Sean, let me just give this.
Speaker 1: I want to give a thirty second respond because he
Speaker 1: Larry wants to pick a fight on issues bad represent
Speaker 1: as not address this issue here, so he needs to argue.
Speaker 1: So let me just respond. I've been doing police miss conna,
Speaker 1: and this is why this is shocking. I've been doing
Speaker 1: police miss conduct for twenty five years. Sorry, Larry. Margaret Mitchell,
Speaker 1: homeless woman shot unkilled by police, Dwayne Nelson hog tie,
Speaker 1: those were kiss I've handled the lost angers Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Those are African Americans who died at the hand the police.
Speaker 1: You can do the research, so you and I will
Speaker 1: continue the difference on things that have happened the past.
Speaker 1: You want to argue about that, that's another day, another time.
Speaker 1: But on this particular issue, you can lift your jaw
Speaker 1: up because I have an agreement with Sean Hannity. I'm
Speaker 1: an agreement with you on this issue. We'll pick our
Speaker 1: other battles later, but today I support what you're saying,
Speaker 1: I support Sean Hannity. Well, I'm happy about that, Larry.
Speaker 1: Let's let's I think there's actually I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stay sick up a leo here. I understand you guys,
Speaker 1: by the way, have a long history. We all do together, actually,
Speaker 1: and we're all really friendly in spite of sometimes we
Speaker 1: do have strong political disagreements. I'm watching an American city burn.
Speaker 1: I'm watching an American city die before our eyes. We've
Speaker 1: seen this too, We've seen this movie before. We know
Speaker 1: how it ends. None of this is going to end. Well.
Speaker 1: What is what is different in this case, Larry, is
Speaker 1: that there is universal agreement about what happened here right now,
Speaker 1: what should not have happened. This man should be alive today,
Speaker 1: and Sean not only is a universal agreement, the Fraternal
Speaker 1: Police put out a statement saying this thing never should
Speaker 1: have happened. You have a city that's got a reputation
Speaker 1: of being a city for progressive Hubert Humphrey was mayor
Speaker 1: there in nineteen forty eight. Put in a civil rights
Speaker 1: plank in the platform caused a disneycrast to walk out,
Speaker 1: This is not Birmingham. In the fifties. We're not talking
Speaker 1: about bull Connor. We're talking about a thirty eight year
Speaker 1: old Jewish liberal Democrat mayor, a black slash Mexican American
Speaker 1: police chief for crying out loud? What makes you think
Speaker 1: justice is not going to be served, so let's go
Speaker 1: out in the streets and riot for three days. It
Speaker 1: is outrageous. And what does the left always say, we
Speaker 1: need a fice department quote that looks like the community
Speaker 1: where you've got a black and Hispanic police chief and
Speaker 1: you're still riding. There is no use for this, and guys,
Speaker 1: stay right there, leos to stay there, Larry Elder Leo
Speaker 1: terrell A hundred nine four one Sean. We're going to
Speaker 1: hold these guys through the half hour break and we'll
Speaker 1: take your calls with them and for them all right
Speaker 1: twenty five till the top of the hour. We watched
Speaker 1: in horror all last night as the burning, the looting,
Speaker 1: the property damage, and where were the cops? They burnt
Speaker 1: down the precinct. I am in all my life, I
Speaker 1: never thought i'd see that, and there was no defense there.
Speaker 1: And I understand people's right to protest peacefully. Please, you
Speaker 1: know these stores that are being destroyed and looted and burned.
Speaker 1: They may never come back. We've seen that movie before. Also.
Speaker 1: We don't want that, especially as now people have been struggling.
Speaker 1: We're trying to get out of the struggle financially. Anyway.
Speaker 1: We continue with Leo Terrell at the Leo Terrell on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Larry Elder has an upcoming documentary he's gonna be putting
Speaker 1: out and he's gonna give us a preview copy of it.
Speaker 1: Uncle Tom's Cabin is what it is called, and much more.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to your calls for both of them
Speaker 1: in this segment. Guys, I want to ask you both
Speaker 1: one thing. There's universal agreement on this. Presidents acted swiftly.
Speaker 1: He tasked the Department of Justice, the Civil Rights Division
Speaker 1: in the FBI to expedite this case specifically and early.
Speaker 1: They have a prosecutor in Minnesota, reported by CBS in
Speaker 1: Minnesota Local CBS. His name is Mike Freeman, and he's
Speaker 1: saying that there's other evidence here that quote does not
Speaker 1: support a criminal charge. He said that yesterday. His office
Speaker 1: then issues a clarification saying his comment was being misinterpreted,
Speaker 1: but the clarification really didn't clarify what did he mean
Speaker 1: by other evidence? Now, however, if the county attorney indeed
Speaker 1: has evidence that would change people's minds on this, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't he have released it immediately? Because what everybody's watching
Speaker 1: on TV nobody likes. So in the exact words, where
Speaker 1: and there is other evidence that does not support a
Speaker 1: criminal charge. We need to weigh through all of that
Speaker 1: evidence to come through with a meaningful determination. And we're
Speaker 1: doing the best of our ability. He said, Larry Elder,
Speaker 1: you're a lawyer. Leo Terrell, you're a lawyer, Larry. What
Speaker 1: is he talking about? Two words? John Dennis Nifong. Remember
Speaker 1: that day the Duke da Lacrosse publicly said that these
Speaker 1: boys were guilty. I'm going to get you and so
Speaker 1: and so he got disbarred. A job of a prosecutor
Speaker 1: is to do justice, and this prosecutor has to get
Speaker 1: the evidence and clearly this stuff we don't we don't know,
Speaker 1: and then determine what charges, if any, ought to be
Speaker 1: filed against states before officers. In my opinion, I can't
Speaker 1: imagine they're not being charges against. The officers don't know
Speaker 1: what they are. I can't imagine all of them being
Speaker 1: equally culpable, but maybe they are. But the point is
Speaker 1: a DA's job is to get the information, make sure
Speaker 1: he has a prosecuted, prosecutable case, and that he can
Speaker 1: win that case, and that is what this DA is doing.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have a problem, Sean, when you
Speaker 1: fire four officers without one word of testimony being taken.
Speaker 1: Even bad officers are entitled to due process and are
Speaker 1: presumed to be innocent. And I'm in my opinion, there's
Speaker 1: going to be another lawsuit by these four officers arguing
Speaker 1: that their civil rights were violated. Leo very simple. First
Speaker 1: of all, I want to kudos, and I'd say very
Speaker 1: loud kudos to President Trump getting the federal government involved immediately, immediately.
Speaker 1: Great job. Secondly, I think it is overwhelming evidence to
Speaker 1: establish probable cause for these officers, especially the one who
Speaker 1: knelt down on mister Floyd, to be arrested and charged
Speaker 1: with at least involuntary man splatter. And my understanding is
Speaker 1: that the person who did that officer has been arrested
Speaker 1: and taken into custody. So I think the federal government
Speaker 1: and the state government, with all their collective resources, are
Speaker 1: moving as quickly as possible. Dating those protesters to make
Speaker 1: that statement, no justice, no peace. That statement does not
Speaker 1: apply here because you've been swift action. I agree with Larry,
Speaker 1: these officers, let's follow the law, due process they're entitled to.
Speaker 1: But there's no doubt about it. The officer, the main culprit,
Speaker 1: is arrested. He's going to be charged. And again the
Speaker 1: fetal state government working together, they got overwhelming evidence and
Speaker 1: resources to charge not only the officer, the Prince Wall officers,
Speaker 1: but the other officers as well. Barack Obama waited, I
Speaker 1: want your reaction to his comments, Slee. I'll start with you.
Speaker 1: We have to remember that for millions of Americans being
Speaker 1: treated differently on account of races, tragically, painfully, maddeningly normal.
Speaker 1: Whether it's while dealing with the healthcare system that's his system,
Speaker 1: which that never fulfilled one promise, by the way, or
Speaker 1: interacting with the criminal justice system, or jogging down the street,
Speaker 1: or just watching birds in a park. He wrote, and
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be normal in twenty twenty, America can't be normal.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the years when did Ferguson happen? When
Speaker 1: did Baltimore happen? But I'm listening to this and Leo.
Speaker 1: What stands out my mind is this again is universally condemned.
Speaker 1: This is not a this is I don't see a
Speaker 1: divide on race in this in any way because they
Speaker 1: don't pass out. Sean and Larry, that statement by Barack
Speaker 1: Obama is so wishy washy. It is, as you said,
Speaker 1: it's universally accepted that this officer is drang But where
Speaker 1: where's the section of his tweet that talks about the
Speaker 1: outlawful conduct of these criminals who are who are looting
Speaker 1: and rioting. This is the problem, and this is why
Speaker 1: I know you got your shot, and I hope the
Speaker 1: country is shot. About my position, you have to talk
Speaker 1: about both sides. So that tweet by Barack Obama doesn't
Speaker 1: satisfy this civil rights attorney. Talk about the looting, talk
Speaker 1: about the rioting. Held those protesters to to to protest
Speaker 1: lawfully not unlawfully. Wow. Once again, once again, Sean, I
Speaker 1: gotta say, I really point Larry with with the evolution
Speaker 1: of mister mister Charrell. But may I finish, please and stop?
Speaker 1: You interrupted could finish, you could finish Obama. Barack Obama said,
Speaker 1: if I had a son, he would look like Trey
Speaker 1: von fanning the flames. Barack Obama said in an address
Speaker 1: to the United Nations, and we have a place called
Speaker 1: Ferguson where we have our own problems. Oops, hands up.
Speaker 1: Don't you turn out to be a complete live This
Speaker 1: is a guy who said the Cambridge police acted stupidly.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who brought in Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: and talked about racism in America's DNA. He hired Eric
Speaker 1: Holder as ag who said, when it comes to matters
Speaker 1: of race, America has been quote a nation of cowards.
Speaker 1: He goes to Ferguson, Eric Holder does and says publicly,
Speaker 1: I'm not here just as a g I'm here as
Speaker 1: a black man. That must have made the cops feel
Speaker 1: really good. That's why Obama has been wishy washy on
Speaker 1: his tweet Leo, because he's schizophrenic. He knows you know.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna debate you on all the other issue
Speaker 1: you want to fight with everything else you want to
Speaker 1: find about misty years of history. I agree with you
Speaker 1: wish sean on this issue. Will battle on other issues later,
Speaker 1: but I'm focusing on Minnesota. Why don't you can you
Speaker 1: focus on letting me finish a statement tweets. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're talking points. I've heard him for twenty five years.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, let's go to neutral corners here for
Speaker 1: a second. Let's go to some calls. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Alex in Miami. Alex, You're on the Sean Hannity Show
Speaker 1: with Leo Terrell, Larry Elder. Glad you called. I wish
Speaker 1: I could say Happy Friday. There's nothing happy about it,
Speaker 1: but I really wanted to talk to you. I love
Speaker 1: your show, and I appreciate everything the stands that you're
Speaker 1: taking about this situation. But I wanted to ask you.
Speaker 1: You know, when Carlin Kaepernick was nearly and everybody was
Speaker 1: saying it was about the flag, and he said it
Speaker 1: was about police brutality. Do you agree with that now
Speaker 1: or you still think that it's not a problem with
Speaker 1: police brutality in America. I think that that flag that
Speaker 1: we honor is a flag of freedom, and so many
Speaker 1: have fought, bled and died fighting under that flag for
Speaker 1: the freedom of everybody, every American. We're not a perfect
Speaker 1: nation because human beings are flawed, but we are a
Speaker 1: more perfect union. And the Civil Rights Act of sixty four,
Speaker 1: the Voting Rights Act to sixty five. Have we gotten perfect? Nope,
Speaker 1: we have a long way to go. We have a
Speaker 1: long way to go. So the answer to you is,
Speaker 1: I stand to honor those that gave me that right
Speaker 1: to be at that football game and shed their blood
Speaker 1: and put their lives on the line for all of
Speaker 1: us fighting under that flag. I agree with you totally.
Speaker 1: I'm an American too. I'm a fifth generation American. My
Speaker 1: great great great great grandmother was born here. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying that it's obvious that we have a problem with
Speaker 1: police brutality, and to ignore it, and to ignore it
Speaker 1: and say to change the narrative and say that a
Speaker 1: flag is more important than police brutality is not American, Sean.
Speaker 1: It's not American, Larry. Is that you go ahead, Sean. No,
Speaker 1: we don't have a problem with police brutality. We have
Speaker 1: a probost with individual officers who misbehaved and we ought
Speaker 1: to deal with them on a case by case. Is
Speaker 1: the officer police officer? If the officer is a police officers,
Speaker 1: then that is police brutality. Okay, that is that is
Speaker 1: one officer and the officers that surrounded him. You know, listen,
Speaker 1: I will tell you I don't know the exact number,
Speaker 1: but I know a lot of police officers and and
Speaker 1: thank you for your call. I know a lot of them,
Speaker 1: Leo Terrell, and they are dedicated to protect and to serve.
Speaker 1: And many police officers and police departments now are are
Speaker 1: you literally looking at a melting pot and you have
Speaker 1: all of America representative. You're looking at this from the
Speaker 1: identity political lens. But they're all serving their communities. They're
Speaker 1: all I don't think most cops get up, Larry, thinking,
Speaker 1: oh I want to kill somebody today. Their jobs are
Speaker 1: dangerous to most of them are great at what they do. Point.
Speaker 1: Let me make this point, and I've said this for
Speaker 1: the last ten years, not within the Maybe Larry didn't
Speaker 1: hear this. And I may disagree with you on two percent, Sean,
Speaker 1: you use the word ninety nine percent. I've said over
Speaker 1: and over again, ninety seven percent of the officers in
Speaker 1: this country are great officers. They protect us overnight. I
Speaker 1: think there's two or three percent there are rogers of corps,
Speaker 1: and those ninety seven percent of good officers unfortunately protect
Speaker 1: those two or three percent. As I mentioned, I have
Speaker 1: family in law enforce in for the last sixteen years,
Speaker 1: so I know how it important it is for them
Speaker 1: to protect us while we're sleep, protecting our property. So
Speaker 1: I understand the dynamics. But I will say this, for
Speaker 1: twenty five years I have prosecuted police officers for unlawful conduct,
Speaker 1: excessive ford. So it does happen. Let's be clear about that.
Speaker 1: Case by case systemmach It depends on the there's in
Speaker 1: the department. But in this situation, which I'll use your word,
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, universal acceptance that this was a bad officer
Speaker 1: involved in the death of a person. I agree with
Speaker 1: you and Larry Elder. One let me ask Larry this question.
Speaker 1: Respond Sean, Yes, go ahead. This is very very encouraging,
Speaker 1: and I hope we can stop this. Why do you
Speaker 1: want to Why why do you got to tap me
Speaker 1: on the back. Just focus on this this What is
Speaker 1: your skin game? Man? I finished this statement, my child.
Speaker 1: Please just focus on this. This is a very serious subject.
Speaker 1: You then packed me later on, trying attack me later on.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about this and maybe we can now
Speaker 1: stop stop this rhetoric about institutional racism. You Larry Elder's
Speaker 1: talking point. All right, Larry, Let Larry finish his thought.
Speaker 1: Larry all right, Please allow me to finish a point. Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: go please Baltimore, Freddy Gray dies. You have a black mayor,
Speaker 1: the the Free Council one percent Democrats majority black. The
Speaker 1: state attorney who brought the charges against the six officers black,
Speaker 1: three of the six officers black, the judge before two
Speaker 1: of the officers tried their cases black, the USAG at
Speaker 1: the time black, the President United States black. And we're
Speaker 1: still talking about institutional racism. As one of the Pike
Speaker 1: said about Barack Obama when he got elected, how are
Speaker 1: you going to complain about the man when you are
Speaker 1: the man. So let's knock it off and deal with
Speaker 1: these kinds of things on a case by case basis. Okay, Larry, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Larry, get back to our phone. Well let's
Speaker 1: go to Los Angeles. We have Sean and Los Angeles
Speaker 1: thirty years law enforcement. Thank you for serving and protecting
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Sean, welcome to the program. You're on with Leo,
Speaker 1: you're on with Larry. Hello, Sean, a long time listener,
Speaker 1: first time Tyler. As you said, I'm a thirty year
Speaker 1: law enforcement officer. At presently I'm a field supervisor I'm
Speaker 1: a sergeant, and I made some observations that were really
Speaker 1: important to me on this video the death of mister Floyd.
Speaker 1: It was horribly tragic, and I have an opinion on
Speaker 1: how I believe he died. The Law Enforcement Committee, where
Speaker 1: we all are very familiar, or at least all should
Speaker 1: be familiar with two phenomenons. One of them is positional asphyxia,
Speaker 1: which is due to a prolonged prone restraint, and the
Speaker 1: second one I'm sure you've heard before, is an excited delirium.
Speaker 1: After watching the video, I actually personally believe that the
Speaker 1: officer's knee compressing on mister Floyd's neck was not actually
Speaker 1: what killed him. It didn't look like I don't believe
Speaker 1: that his karated artery was closed, and I don't believe
Speaker 1: that his trachea was closed. And I would challenge you,
Speaker 1: Sean to try this in your dojo. Go to a
Speaker 1: heart surface, have somebody handcuff you behind your back and
Speaker 1: press their knee. Sean, only put the constraints of time.
Speaker 1: I'm not cutting you off for any other reason. I
Speaker 1: want to hear more. I believe what you're talking about
Speaker 1: excited delirium. I've read all awful lot about it. I've
Speaker 1: talked to a lot of cops about it. I am
Speaker 1: telling you, and I have talked to everybody I know.
Speaker 1: You just gotta google a look at martial arts targeted strikes.
Speaker 1: In that one strike, I will drop you to your knees,
Speaker 1: and when you get up, you will fall down again.
Speaker 1: That's one second. This is almost nine minutes full. It
Speaker 1: looks like full forced knee on this guy's neck, pin
Speaker 1: to the pavement. You can't do that. No cop can
Speaker 1: justify that, regardless of whether or not you're suggesting it's true,
Speaker 1: you cannot. Anyway, I've got to run for the constraints
Speaker 1: of time. Leo, thank you. Larry Elders always, thank you,
Speaker 1: and we'll have you both back soon. Okay, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. Pray for our cities, Pray for peace. Tonight.
Speaker 1: What a newsweek this has been. There is as nine
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern tonight when we come up on air on Hannity,
Speaker 1: the curfew begins in Minneapolis. I suspect it's not gonna
Speaker 1: start at nine o'clock. Straight up. We're hoping that bad
Speaker 1: things don't happen again. Rudy Giuliani, Larry Elder and Leo Terrell,
Speaker 1: who we had on radio earlier, and Damn Bongino, Bernie Carrick,
Speaker 1: Lawrence Jones, Darryl Parks, Darryl Scott, the Reverend, and John
Speaker 1: Solomon and GERALDO. All you need to know nine Eastern.
Speaker 1: Please set your DVR. It's been a rough week. I
Speaker 1: hope you all have a great weekend. We'll see it
Speaker 1: tonight at nine. Back here on Monday,
