WEBVTT - Gun Debate 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:02.080 All right, glad you're with us, right down our toll 0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:04.320 free telephone number. We just got this out of Baton Rouge. 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:09.480 There was and we thought for a few minutes WWLTV 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:14.319 reporting Baton Rouge, Louisiana a little panic. There was some 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.840 situation involving some shooting. Authorities paramedics swarming of Walmart in 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:24.640 Baton Rouge. Reports of a shooting officers responded in four 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:29.200 minutes later turned out to be inaccurate, and instead they 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.880 say that two people pulled guns on each other during 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.920 a fight near the stores customer service desk. Great, that's 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.280 really that's really brilliant move on people's part. You know, 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.600 I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna give you some anybody 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:48.440 that wants my unsolicited advice about fighting and about being 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.280 mister or missus tough guy, I'm just gonna give you 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.320 my unsolicited advice. Linda, you would be able to vouch 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.040 for the fact that there's been a few people in 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.400 the course of the years you've worked with me on 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.280 this show, and you've seen me out in pub. Look, 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.280 people know that I train mixed martial arts and that 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.880 I defend myself and I take defense of me and 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.960 my family very seriously. What do I usually do if 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.560 such a situation arises? I do everything possible to what 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:20.480 make sure I go first? Go ahead, Linda, go get them. Yeah, okay, 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:25.440 now tell the truth. I do everything possible to what diffuse, 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:31.080 walk away, not engage, and I'll be honest. I kind 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.280 of am confident in my skills, and you know, there's 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:38.200 a part of me that knows when you have the confidence, 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.960 you can defend yourself. I'm not talking about firearms at 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.280 all here. You have the confidence that you know you're trained, 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.280 you can defend yourself. And doesn't mean you can't be beat. 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.840 Anybody can be beat. Cheap shot, somebody hitch over head 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.080 with a two by four or bat from behind. You're 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.160 not gonna win that fight. But my advice is just 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.840 do everything you do diffuse it. You know, I don't 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.120 understand road range. I see it all the time. I'm 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.800 in New York. I'm driving on the Long Island Expressway 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:09.040 of the world's biggest parking lot, and I'm like, you 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.680 see these people, they're like hunky. Usually cab drivers are 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.480 the worst, and I have no idea they want to 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.919 give themselves a heart attack. There's nothing they can do 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.320 to alleviate the situation. It is what it is. You 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.880 can either get off at the next exit, or you're 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.440 gonna suck it up like everybody else, and you're gonna 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.040 crawl to wherever your destination is. It's it's a horrible thing. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.120 Traffic I hated, most people hated. Everybody hates it. But 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.119 to sit there and act like an idiot, getting mad 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.200 and banging on your horn and so on and so forth, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.840 it's it's not gonna get you anywhere, and it's not 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:49.240 a smart decision. We are where we are yesterday, except 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.519 even a little worse than we were in terms of 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.520 where the media is. How sick things have gotten here. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.800 One of the one of the more shocking. I've never 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.799 seen this before. The New York Times had a headline 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.160 we all, I actually spent the time to do on 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.839 this program yesterday in our final hour with the rest 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.040 of the media, won't do I like people to hear 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.240 directly from the president. You know, people ask me, well, 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.200 you do these phone interviews on Hannity with the President, 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.920 and I've said, yeah, I kind of like them a 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.320 little bit better and you and somebody said, why do 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.880 you like the phone interviews at the president better because 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:33.240 radio is a heart medium. Radio you got to connect 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.320 with the audience in a very different way than when 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.880 you're on TV. There's a lot of people that can 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.640 do TV can't do radio. A lot of people who 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.880 do radio can't do TV or don't want to do 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:50.040 these things. But and it's it's they're different mediums. On TV, 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.360 I can just oh, go like that, throw my hands up. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.360 And I've said things that I'd have to say it 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.680 on radio for you to understand it. But at the 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.480 end of the day, one of the things I've always 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.080 said to people, you know, I'll never forget when the 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:09.440 Manafort Hannity texts were released by the judge and everybody 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:14.480 expected some big bombshell about Hannity. Yeah, I'm praying for you. Yeah, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.600 these people are horrible. Yeah, this is the worst thing 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.600 I've ever seen. Yeah, this is god awful. Yeah, if 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.800 you want to talk, I'm offering my shows. I'd love 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.680 to interview you, your lawyer, whoever you want, so you 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.320 can get your side out. But the meetings, like, oh 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:36.719 my gosh, he really believes this stuff. That's what's fake news. CNN, MSNBC, 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:42.560 that was their big takeaway from Hannity Manafort text messages, Well, 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.080 I have a job to do, and it's one that 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.920 they've ignored, and that is I want to know all 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:54.640 sides of an issue so well as a talk show host. Yeah, 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.400 we do straight news, Like, if God forbid, there's a shooting, 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.400 We'll just do straight news. This is what's happening, These 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.960 are the latest developments. If there's a war, God forbid, 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.280 if there's a hurricane, whatever it happens to me. We 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.400 got hundreds of hours of tapes to prove we can 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.160 do straight news. I am worked, I am a member 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.640 of the press, but being a talk show host is 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.719 a very different role. Then we do our investigative work 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:23.360 that the abusively biased media mob will never do, like 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:28.680 vetting Obama and Frank Marshall Davis and Olinsky and Acorn 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:33.200 and what is a community organizer in Black liberation theology 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.000 and the Church of ged America and America's chickens have 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.359 come home to roost? And who is heirs Indorn? And 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.120 why was the picture of Obama and Faracon, the virulent 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.240 racist and anti Semite hidden for eight years? I knew 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.400 that picture. I knew it. I knew it. I knew 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.960 it came out after they hit it, and so that 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.240 we do all. Yeah, we give opinion, that's part of 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.000 being a talk show. Sometimes we talk about sports and 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.200 Tim Tebow and whatever else happens to be in the news, 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.120 or we interview sports figures. Herschel Walker. We love herschel 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.520 Walker on this program, love having him on the show. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.200 He's such an awesome guy. And so that's what a 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.080 talk show host us. It's a unique role in the press. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.120 It's different than I'm not. I am not a journalist. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.400 I am a talk show host. And within under the 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.120 heading of talk shows, we do all these different jobs. 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.400 It would be the equivalent of having, you know, we 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:32.520 do everything you get in the newspaper, op ed, editorials, opinion, news, 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.880 investigative reporting, sports, culture. We do it all. But these 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.120 people say that they're journalists. They're not journalists. They are 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.400 just the press office for the Democratic Party. And the the 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:48.440 mob hates Donald Trump. And here we have, on the 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.560 within hours of each other, two tragedies. We have our 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:58.200 our fellow American citizens being shot up, and we have 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:03.680 violence out of control. Interestingly, if the media cared, they 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:09.000 could be reporting every single weekend with the same level 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:14.560 of intensity, the violence, the death, the tragedy, the demise 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.840 of our fellow Americans in all these big liberals cities 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.040 that have been run by liberals for decades. Now, why 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:27.080 don't they report the violence every weekend in Chicago and 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.480 Baltimore and Detroit, in Los Angeles? And why don't they 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.640 report the crisis a mile away from Nancy Pelosi's gated 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:41.400 neighborhood where people are shooting up heroin and defecating and 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.880 urinating in the streets and throwing their needles all over 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.120 the place and the stench is out of control. Why 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.560 don't they ever report these things because it doesn't fit 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.520 their agenda. And that's the sick part of this. You 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:59.800 have the DNC and now Elizabeth Warren, these families in Dayton, 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:04.720 these families in El Paso, they're planning funerals for their 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.040 loved ones, and these people are fundraising. You gotta be 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.440 kidding me. There's a certain ugliness to that that just 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:17.840 defies any understanding that I have in life. And then 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.720 you take it a step for why have their policies failed? 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.880 Why don't they report on the violence in these cities 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.600 and try to stop the violence in these cities? Where 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.520 is the outrage? Now goes back to words I use 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:39.880 often feigned selective moral outrage, for example, Russia, Russia, Russia. 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.400 None of those people in the media mob of the 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:47.200 Democrats seem to give a wit about what was premeditated 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.640 fraud committed on a FISA court to deny American citizens 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:57.079 their constitutional rights, and spy on an opposition party candidate. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:02.160 Opposition party candidate, by the way, did commit multiple felonies 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:08.760 the Espionage ACTE evidence is a hundred percent overwhelming, incontrovertible, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.560 and you and I and everybody else would go to 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.920 jail if we did what Hillary did. Everyone and everyone 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.160 in the media obstruction. Well, there was four separate investigations, 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.400 no collusion, no conspiracy for Donald Trump, no underlying crime. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.679 But they say, well, he obstructed because he was pissed off, 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.199 and he kept saying, oh, maybe we should fire Muller. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.560 He could have fired Mueller. He could have done it legally, 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.640 could have done it because of conflicts. He could have 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.080 used his Article two powers. It would have been somebody 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.880 else replacing him. But he didn't. He why he complained 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.960 about it as an innocent guy. It pissed him off 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.840 that two and a half years of his presidency. He's 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.679 wasting his time on something he knows he didn't do. Okay, 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.440 he vented. He's human. I would be I would be 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.920 pissed two. I think most of you would be pissed off. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.360 So but that's obstruction, but not the obstruction. When Hillary 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.760 has suppeened emails, she deletes them. She then comes up 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.520 with something nobody ever heard of called bleach bit. And 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.800 then of course the hammers to devices and the sim 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.440 cards gone. And then of course now we're not only 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:16.080 spying on Trump because of the premeditated fraud committed on 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.440 a Faiza Corps, but the information that made up the 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:24.160 bulk of information in the application, well that came from Hillary, 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.520 and even the New York Times says likely Russian disinformation 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.120 from the get go. I'm like, wait a minute, there 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.440 is a Russia connection to the twenty sixteen election on 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:39.120 a far higher level than anyone ever imagined. And that 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.400 would be Hillary paying for what the New York Time 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:47.800 says was from the beginning likely Russian disinformation. Well, that 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.520 probably means that putin the hostile actor that he is 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.559 and Russia the hostile regime that they are, that they 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.400 knew that Hilary was paying for the Russian lies. Well, 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.000 that would mean if that's all truth. The New York 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.079 Times is right that they did want to impact the 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.240 twenty sixteen elections, but not to help Trump, that would 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.880 mean they wanted to take Trump down. That would mean 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.160 they wanted to put the final nail in his coffin, 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.920 because if that Dassier was true, it would have the 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.400 fact that it was all lies. It almost did, and 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.400 then take it the step further, the insurance policy. Then 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:29.080 they're spying on him by farming out illegal what would 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:33.679 otherwise be illegal in America intelligence gathering on Americans and 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:39.080 using foreign spies like Joseph Misfoot, who was a Western spy, 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.959 mister Muller, he's not a Russian spy apparently according to 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:46.120 all my sources, and then using the Australian guy as 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.640 Stefan helper. And then they're trying to get information from 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.520 Papadopoulos and Sam Clovis and Carter Page about any type 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.600 of Russia collusion. And we talked to Papadopolis yesterday and 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.240 he said, now I would have said, and I did say, 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.040 and there's evidence that I said just the opposite that 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.440 if anyone asked me to do anything like work with Russia, 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:07.960 I would view that as me being a traitor to 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.920 the country. I love the United States of America, just 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.640 like carter Page. There's a reason they never went after 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.800 carter Page. I was just a ruse to get the 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.800 backdoor into the Trump campaign because they knew carter Page 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.520 worked for our intelligence people forever, and a carter Page 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.440 whenever he was out, whenever he was abroad, carter Page 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:31.720 would download everything he knew to our intelligence community. So 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.480 there's a reason that even though they had four fives 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.960 of warrants on carter Page, they never really wanted carter 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.800 Page because everybody in the intelligence community, FBI, CIA, any 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.600 three letter agency, they all knew carter Page was not 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:47.120 the enemy of the American people, just the opposite. He 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:51.400 was helping his government, his country and in any capacity 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.320 they wanted. And I would bet I'm just guessing he 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.400 might have been paid it sometimes John Hannity Show, I mean, 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:03.640 it takes a certain amount of I cannot fathom that 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:09.640 people can't even put politics aside for a second. How 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:13.520 do you fundraise off of what happened in El Paso 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:19.959 and Texas? How is it where is the parent? How 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.600 many of you been through this yourself in your life 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.640 where you're the one in charge. You know, everyone wants 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.120 to be in charge. Okay, I meant in charge of 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.520 putting funerals together for people, for paying for funerals for people. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:36.080 I've been in charge of going to the funeral home, 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.520 going down in the basement and picking out the casket 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.440 and making sure that you get a plot that is 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.640 appropriate for the person, and going through that. They haven't 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:54.720 even done that, and they're fundraising. It's unbelievable. Now, if 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.560 a Republican did it, a conservative did it, all hell 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:02.120 would break loose. But because they're Democrats, you know, it's 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.199 it's and they can bludge in Trump. Let's be honest here, 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.680 this is what they want to do. Stormy, Stormy Sholes, 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:14.880 whole collusion, collusion, Russia, Russia, Muller, Muller, Oh, Muller wrong, 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:20.240 two and a half years, lies, conspiracies of hoax, misinformation, propaganda. 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.640 You know, let's just forget that. Let's say I'm racist, racist, racist, 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:32.320 racist racist. Now we'll go to that one people stick impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, peachable, peachable, peach, 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:37.240 the Russia investigation Coluded, putin collusion Deult film actress Stormy Daniels, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.280 Stormy Daniels No Stormy Sagar to Stormy daniels affair Deult 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.600 film star Stormy Daniels's buller. Is there a difference if 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.280 the President said, uh, hol House, do you think these 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.680 countries are bles? So I don't. Trump has turned the 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:56.160 Oval office and hope now I can. The sad thing 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.120 is as I can go on and we can play 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.680 hours of that tape, you know for the look. Look, 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.080 the New York Times talked about the President's remarks. I 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:09.000 didn't finish this thought earlier. Trump urges unity versus racism. 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.400 That is an accurate headline. That's what the President talked about. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.200 The president is. You know, we can go back and 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.560 play what fifteen times over the course of the last 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.320 year or two, president saying, now, racism is repugnant. I 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.440 denounced white supremacy. The fact that he says America first, 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.120 that he wants to control the wall. I mean, are 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.280 those people that don't want the wall responsible for the 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.160 four thousand homicides, thirty thousand sexual assaults, one hundred thousand 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.400 violent assaults by illegal immigrants committed against Americans and the 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.520 three hundred Americans that die every week from heroin overdoses. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:44.560 All right, twenty five to the top of the hour. 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.320 Thank you, Scott Shannon eight hundred nine for one Sean 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.240 Tolfrey telephone number. So, me and my wonderful staff here 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.440 are just talking about the fact that Mayor Build the 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.960 Blasio of New York City will make an appearance tomorrow 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.600 night on Hannity. And it's funny because I'm reading about 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.000 the appearance and everybody thinks they know what's going to 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.800 happen at the appearance. Uh, Linda, what do you think 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.320 the odds are? You know what? I'm singing a happy 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.320 birthday right now to one of us member staff member. 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.640 Excuse me, Katie, we sent it to a dinner last 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.600 night at Okay, how many birthdays? How many more dinners? 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.720 Everybody's leo, it's insane. It's it's I mean you get 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.720 back to the birthday celebration in a minute. Blair. Wait, 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.560 I don't care how old you are. Happy birthday, by 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.800 the way, but thank you. So everybody thinks that this 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.520 interview with the Plasio is going to be a Hannity war, 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.720 a Hannity setup. Are you following what I've been following 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:45.160 and reading, I think it's incredible. Well okay, now, why look, 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.960 I don't like the policies of mayor Comrade de Blasio. 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.560 He knows what I call him color. Are you selling 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.360 tickets to this or can I I'm just I mean 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.520 I would buy a front row seat. What do you Well, 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.760 here's the thing. Now, de Blasio is gonna come in 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:04.720 and look the guys at one percent. The guy needs 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.080 to shake things up a little bit. To me, I 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.520 think politically it's a brilliant move on his part to 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.480 be the first to accept our invitation. Now interestingly, and 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.160 I'm not going to mention the names yet, but now 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.800 that he kind of opened the door and paved the way, 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.160 a lot of the other candidates are now calling because 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.840 they want to be on. And by the way, I 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.159 want to be on the number one show. What a 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:36.760 shocking idea. It's a pretty shocking idea. Now here's the thing, 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.440 and I'll probably just say it right on front and 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.120 I say, just the mayor, you have two choices how 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.359 this interview is gonna go. Either I'm gonna ask you 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.000 questions and you give me answers without filibustering, straight up answers, 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.080 and I'm going to give you a chance to tell 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.000 the American people on the biggest show and cable news 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.359 thanks to our wonderful, wonderful, wonderful audience. I don't do it. 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.800 They do it. They give us this camera, this microphone 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.880 camera every night. And I'm going to just ask him 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.560 where he stands on the issues. As a conservative. I'm 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.720 confident our policies are better and that things work better 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:15.240 under conservatism. The things that we're doing by cutting taxes 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.800 that's happening in the country not weird. But the President's 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:21.199 been doing. What's going on. It's not an accident that 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:26.720 we're now setting record after record after record low unemployment. 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.560 It's not an accident. When you cut taxes and then 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:35.119 burden some regulation, the same thing happens, and you incentivize 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.920 businesses to stay and not leave, and then you open up. 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.960 You know how obsessed I am and how many years 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.680 I've been obsessed with energy, and I view energy as 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:49.399 literally the latter up in terms of prosperity and the 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.639 standard of living of every American. I know it is 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:57.960 America can take our natural resources, and every single American 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:03.200 city can be rebuilt, nice homes, safe neighborhoods, good schools, 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.720 a new truck, a new car, Disney vacations, go out 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.320 to dinner. Every American should be able to afford that. 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.280 A decent healthcare plan that's not government run, keep your 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.800 doctor plan and save money. Bologny um. But that's not 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.080 the other. Now here's what I here's the two ways 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.880 it can go. Or the mayor is going to be 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.320 getting really dumb advice from his advisers. There are gonna 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:27.760 be people. So you need to go in there and 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.160 you need to show Hannity who you are. What hed Now? 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:32.720 What do you think the odds are he comes in 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.720 with that attitude? No, I don't think so. Well, if 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.480 he doesn't, I'm gonna just be nice to him. Now, 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:41.920 some of you might be disappointed. I think it's gonna 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.320 be nice to him. It either way. No, no, no, no, no, 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.400 I've been no, I've been at this business too long. 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.280 Nobody think so. I think. I think you get there 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.399 and if somebody I will do. If he wants a 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.400 fair interview, he's gonna get one. If he wants a 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:01.359 fair interview, he's going to get a fair You. Now, 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:03.920 I have to my left right Now, you know the 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.159 mess in front of me right here, But if you 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:07.800 look over to the left, you see that big pile. 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.800 I've been reading everything about Bill de Blasio. I know 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.320 every single solitary thing to know about Bill de Blasio. 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.960 But that's the irrelevant actually in this whole equation. I 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.480 know it, It's in my brain. I've got it down, pat. 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.439 But what I really want to know is why what 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.440 he believes in what he would do if he's the president. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.760 Because if you want the biggest job in the world, 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:36.560 what you want to do if your president matters, like 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:40.960 for example, those that would support eliminating oil and gas 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.440 as the lifeblood of our economy, in the world's economy, 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.119 I can pretty much guarantee you that that will lower 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:53.679 the standard of living of every single solitary American instantaneously. 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:58.000 You will never see a more precipitous decline in an 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:02.000 economy than if we were stupid enough, dumb enough to 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.560 ever do something like that. You got to go in 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:08.560 the opposite direction. You know, where does he stand on immigration, 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:13.680 Where does he stand on building border walls? What does 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:18.520 he think of the drugs that are crossing that border, 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:21.520 the cartels that take advantage of those open borders, the 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:25.480 gangs that take advantage of those open borders. What does 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:29.639 he think about a big door in the wall. And frankly, 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:31.919 I'm a big believer in immigration. I just want to 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.560 check out two things. I want to know that you're 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.840 coming to our country out of a love of America 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:41.720 and wanting the hope and opportunity that America offers, and 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.639 that you come as somebody that wants to be a 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.240 part of our family, first a visitor, but then hopefully 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.080 one day a part of our family. And there's somebody 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:53.520 that is not going to depend on the American people. 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:55.199 You've got to show that you have the means to 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.920 take care of yourself and your family when you get here, 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.840 and to make sure not part of any network or 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.240 a group of people that want to bring harm to Americans. 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.119 Tell me what part of that is unreasonable? Is there 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:09.880 anything there that sounds unreasonable to you? Not at all? 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:11.639 You know what I think else you should do? I 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.720 think that you should do a Twitter you know something 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:16.880 On Twitter. We'll put a tweet out and we'll tell 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:21.200 the audience and the Twitter followers to write their potential 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.600 questions that they would like to hear the blase you answer, Now, 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:29.040 my staff has very wisely taken away my password for Twitter. 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.080 It's been what over a year or two now I've 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:35.040 been I've been revoked. I've never been on my Facebook page. 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.600 How I I don't know how to get a bad one. Remember, 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.040 do you remember I once asked Blair. I said, I 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:41.760 don't want to look at it. Send me the stuff. 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:43.440 And I still couldn't figure out how to open the 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.199 dump thing. It was a long day, Actually, it was 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:48.000 a very long day. I was frustrated. Frustrated. Or you're 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.480 super calm about that stuff too, You're so patient and kind. No, actually, 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.760 well you know what, you're such a wise assid moments 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:55.359 like this, you've really you got to bring in all 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:59.399 the other issues podcastle Even do we even have an 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:03.919 Instagram account? We do? Yes, yes, The only thing I 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:07.520 do have, but I don't have the ability to post 0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:11.280 anything on is Hannity dot Com. You don't anything. No, 0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.280 I don't post on anything. So last night I sent 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:18.679 out a tweet visa v because you worked early in 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:20.760 the day and Kristin worked later in the day, I 0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:22.680 gave it to Kristen and Kristen put it up on 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:29.400 Hannity on Twitter. But I think I think Americans now 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.560 there's probably now some people want me to start a 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:34.600 fight with the guy. I'm like, well, I feel passionately 0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:36.720 about some issues and I'm going to ask him and 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:38.720 I'm gonna ask him tough questions and it's not gonna 0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:40.760
