Sean if you want to join us. We've got a
lot coming up in the course of the program today.
One of the segments we're gonna do is about more guns,
less crime. The statistics bear all of that out in

(01:25):
spite of everything this corrupt, lying media, ideological media tells
you every day. Um, you're gonna meet a hero. This
this young kid so blew me away. Last night. I
went to the hospital. I'll tell you about that in
a minute. Thomas Gunderson. And he was the young man
that met the president the first lady, and he had
been shot in the leg. And he he actually put

(01:48):
on Facebook. I will never lie down when the president
of this great country comes to shake my hand. There
may be plenty of issues in this country, but I
was always respect my country, my president, my flag, shot
in the leg or not, I will stand to show
my president the respect he deserves not a chance to
interview this young man and his family last night and

(02:10):
pretty amazing and much much more. Also following Hurricane Nate,
it looks like right now it's headed for Baton Rouge.
We're sending our love on down a Baton Rouge. Today
we're gonna give you an update. Are the official meteorologist
of the Sean Hannity Show. For a while he was
becoming a co host chobist Artie oh Man. This has
been a rough season. Um, you know, this has been

(02:33):
I can't even explain. I took the Red Eye back
last night. We got back late, well early in the
morning New York time, and red Eyes are I always
find them rough, But um, you know, I just spent
a lot of time on the On the flight, I'm
thinking in my mind that, you know, in the worst

(02:54):
of times, because if it felt in Vegas a little
and I'm not comparing, so just to understand, I'm talking
about a feeling I had that it felt a lot
like nine eleven in this sense and the sense that
in the worst of times you see some of the

(03:15):
best in people. In other words, you've got this evil
s O B no value of human life. An enigma
that still at this point in the mystery, at this
point will update you on all the latest news and
information a little bit and just with total abandoned and
just callous, pure evil is firing in a crowd of

(03:38):
twenty whatever thousand people, you know, that are basically sitting
ducks that are having fun. And an hour earlier, we're
in Unison singing God Bless America with their their lights
held up, their cell phones held up, and it was
an amazing moment with big and rich and as I
was there on the ground in Vegas, then you hear

(03:59):
all of these stories of heroism and you meet these
people that I've had the chance to meet over there
reporting on this issue. You know, I've always said the
job of a talk shows does not one dimensional. I mean,
you know, sometimes we just report the news, straight up news.
Sometimes we give opinions, sometimes we host debate. You know,

(04:19):
it's it's multifaceted. And as much as as what we do,
we're not, you know, rigidly saying that we are fair,
balanced and objective. Sometimes I'm just there to get facts
and news and information and that's part of being a journalist,
or some would say advocacy journalist or opinion journalist. Um,
but when you meet it's very humbling to meet people,

(04:41):
everyday people and hear the stories of everyday Americans that
when their fellow Americans were in need, just like on
nine o eleven, you have a group of people. You
have firemen, ye have paramedics, yeah, policemen, you have others
that everybody rightly is trying to get out of the
these buildings in New York and they're racing down the stairs.

(05:03):
They're racing to get to an elevator. It's not working,
and they're running down the stairs and in the other direction,
or a group of very unique, self less people that
are going in the direction to face danger and to
save lives. And they're just incredible people. And we learned that.
I mean you could hear it in the dispatch call

(05:25):
when the policeman they actually got to the thirty first
floor in seven minutes because two cops happened to be
covering another issue at the Mandalay Bay and then they
made it up to the thirty first floor. And then
you hear the police scanners are about to breach, about
to breach, and they know on the other side of
that door or somebody that they think, at least because

(05:47):
it sounded like it has an automatic weapon and he's
gonna be firing bullets at them. And they don't know
how many people are in there, and they're not saying
to themselves in that moment they can die, but deep
in the back of their head, they're smart, they're trained,
they know they could die, and they do that anyway.
And then you have the stories and one after another

(06:08):
of people that were at the concert. You know, one
that really stands out in my mind. And I met
this beautiful young girl. She's twenty years old. We put
her on TV the other night and she had just
finished her chemo therapy, just got some good news that
after all that brutal treatment and for those of you
that don't know a whole lot about chemo, they basically
kill you to save you. Anyway, it was like one

(06:31):
of her first events. She was getting outside, trying to
get her light back up and running again. Her scans
are clean, she's happy, she likes country music. She goes
to the concert. This event begins to unfold. She tries
to rightly with her mom run for safety, and she
just because of the chemos, she's just not as strong
as she normally would be. But it was fine because
there was there were other people police and and and

(06:53):
off duty police that were there to help her, saw
her in need, and they helped her. And then you
look at the still image is of people clutching their
children and trying to protect them and hold them that
if anyone's gonna get shot at them, And you see
boyfriends doing that with girlfriends, and then you hear story
after story about the incredible heroism. And then you see

(07:14):
what the police did and the fire people did and
the reverse responders did, and and then you get to
the hospital aspect of this, and I got a chance
to spend a couple of hours at the hospital and
meet a lot of the nurses and the emergency room
people and the doctors. I mean, look, these people saved
hundreds of lives, and everyone that was off and not

(07:38):
working immediately came into work. It just so happens. This
is the trauma hospital of of Nevada, and then they
all did their thing. It's just incredible. So in that sense,
the worst nine eleven it brings greatness out of people.
The worst in Vegas brings the best out of Vegas.

(08:03):
And um so Ethan anyway, put together a little montage
of some of the heroes. And I'm saying this in
one political context because it does need to be said,
you know, in light of what has been happening in
the NFL, in light of what has been happening there.
You know, remember Colin Kaepernick is praising Castro a murdering dictator.

(08:26):
You know, remember the original anthem protests in sixteen. He
affirmed to reporters at the time that he refused to stand,
he didn't want to honor the flag of the United
States of America. And it goes and then he had
the socks with with police depicted his pigs. And then
I think about Fergus and Missouri and the rush to

(08:48):
judgment and and Darren Wilson. You know, it was assumed
that was hands up, don't shoot, and and that he
just killed this man, shot him in the back. They
said on day one, cold blood. None of it was true,
and so many people believed a lie. Nobody would give
a policeman the benefit of the dount turns out that

(09:09):
he was exonerated because of all the witnesses that affirmed
everything that he did and said that day. The same
thing with Freddy Graham Baltimore was assumed those six cops
were going to jail. It wasn't true. And maybe the
calm maybe the next time something happens, and maybe we
need a little time, and can we could just give

(09:29):
these people the benefit of the down anyway, Ethan put
together a montage of some of the some of the
heroic moments and just to put together and this is
what I love the most about this country. And it's
not politicians. I can tell you that I have contempt
for them. And it's not Hollywood and and it's not
these celebrities, and it's not all these people that have

(09:53):
their gated communities and they have their security guards and
they have their protection, but they don't want us to
have the ability to have same. It's the people, the
people that work hard. They make this country great, played
by the rules, they make the country great, raise their kids,
responsible Americans, They obey the laws, pay their taxes, and

(10:14):
they just want a nice house, a decent house, and
a safe neighborhood, a decent car vacation once a year.
Those were the ones that stood up and stepped up
and inspired me and inspired all of us. This week listen,
he went back because I'm a nurse and I just

(10:34):
felt that I had to, so I went to three
different scenes. There were so many people, just normal citizens, doctors, cops, paramedics,
like nurses, just off duty. Everyone's just communicating and working together.
It was It was completely horrible, but it was absolutely
amazing to see all people coming one. Most people started

(10:55):
scattering in a plain defence, but I had to stay
with my buddies there. So we got him over the
fence once the fires stopped and split him under his stage.
So we were saying, I mean, I would have meant
my life because um, from the moment I got hit. Um,
he was the first one to actually helped me stop bleeding. Um.

(11:16):
He never left my side at all, and I remember
getting him helping me get in the back of a
pickup truck, a red pickup truck with another young lady
that had a gunshot wound. And I don't want to die.
I don't want to die. He kept saying, You're not
gonna die. I got you, look at me, You're not
gonna die. Um. He even said it as they took

(11:37):
me out and put me onto onto the concrete in
front of up a trough car that I wasn't under die.
We even talked about the monk where he actually put
his finger inside the wound just to stop it. It's
stuff like that. I won't I won't forget all my life.
So I filled with a bunch of white trucks. I
tested my luck to see if any of them had
keys in it, and the first one that we tried

(11:58):
opening had keyson. And read there and started looking through
people to take to the hospital. There was just too
many and his overwhelming how much blood was everywhere. Once
we dropped him off, we're like, well, let's go back
for round two and go get some more. I transported
probably people injured to the hospital, people hitting the floor,
people running, myself and the fueld MO, other partners. We

(12:21):
were trying to help people keep low instead of standing up.
All the frank was going on. One gentleman unfortunately happened
to get shot and to the patients that he was with,
helped carry him to E M T and E M
MOUs he was out, and myself and a few other
security guards, some other civilians, we all gave hands help
and transport bodies. There was a lot of people to
a shout Unforcenily Gamy, McCaslin and Crystal Goddard were shielded

(12:44):
from bullets from a man they had never met. He
was shot as he held them, bleeding on the mccasslyn shirt.
We were getting away and uh, just we came across
with me was in the bed of a pickup truck. Uh,
there's a belt, make sure of turning kit. It was
kind of around his need, Uh, completely wrong spot. And
I just walked up there and he was actively bleeding.

(13:08):
Adjusted the belt, got it up where it should be,
tightened it down. We stopped the bleeding. I think we
hung out there for ten fifteen minutes and uh, some
some shavior in a pickup truck came in. Do we
need a ride? Said yeah. We threw them all in
the bed of the truck and we took off to
the hospital. Because it's a bourney in the tables and

(13:29):
we're inside as whereas Bourneys as well, they were using
everything we can't. We're using the rails between the part
partitions in between. We're carrying bodies out with that as well.
So I was just trying to get bodies inside to
pull them outside so we can do some kind of Triash,
So we saw two patients at Sunrise Hospital. Um, most
of them came in probably within the first hour hour

(13:51):
and app I mean the job that our staff did, physicians, nurses, volunteers,
ancillary staff. It's just absolutely amazing the response that we got.
We we had a hundred physicians show up that night
after they were called. We had a hundred nurses. People
were telling me just leave, they'll come back for the survivors.
And I was like, I'm not leaving, thank God. Yeah,

(14:48):
oh about still not sick of when he's making America

(15:34):
great again. Sean Anony's on the air right now, right

(15:59):
as we roll along Shawn Hannity Show on a Friday
nine one, Shawn Tolfrey telephone number. I was worth very
well done, Jason and uh Ethan And UM, we'll put
it up on our website because I know probably many
of you would want to hear it again. Um, we
have another hurricane coming. We'll get an update from job
as Stardi. You're gonna meet this young man, Thomas Gunderson,
who had met the President and his comments and him

(16:21):
standing even having been shot in the leg was beyond inspiring.
And um, I'm I'm not sitting for my president. I'm
standing for my president. One funny story. It's not funny
in one sense, but it's really a guy, a marine
stole a truck. I stole the truck for a great reason.
He wanted to get shooting victims to the hospital. Now
we got a message from the owner of the truck.

(16:43):
Now the the IRAQ vets name is Taylor Winston. Anyway,
he sprang into action. He did what he had to
do Sunday night. He improvised. He was helping save lives. Anyway,
he ended up it's not stealing. He borrowed a pickup
truck to transport victims to the hospital. And he was
able to find an empty truck. Keys were inside after
the gunfire and anyway at the festival anyway, So he

(17:08):
drove the truck back and forth. Um, and he, you know,
got a lot of people to the hospital. Anyway, So
the guy that owns the truck. Three days after, the
truck owner sends this guy a message and says, hey, Taylor, UM,
I told you. You told you might have the keys
to my truck. All I want is the key. Other

(17:30):
than that, this is a whole water under the bridge.
How are the people you are hauling doing. That's such
a cool story, you know, because he goes, oh, I
got your keys, no worries. When do you want to
meet me for the keys. We're at the Monte Carlo.
I've got your truck. But uh. And then he goes
on to say your truck was extremely important. It helps

(17:50):
save lives. I don't know if they all made it,
he said heat This guy had enlisted in the military
when he was seventeen years old, honorably discharged as a sergeant.
Said he thinks his military experience aided him in this situation.
And like everybody that is a hero, they reject the
hero label and that there are a lot of brave,
courageous people out there. And I'm glad I could steal

(18:13):
your truck or bar your truck in the meantime. By
the way, the left say, oh, Wayne Lapierre doesn't mean
about the bump stocks. We got that whole thing. I'm
not sure whether I believe this Islamic State newsletter. There's
no evidence to suggest that this madman, Steven Paddock, was
a member of ISIS or had converted. But we've got
to look at all angles till we know more. Um

(18:33):
We'll have a lot more on this and some liberal
hypocrisy straight ahead. It's the Sean Hannity Show. Right down
our toll free number. We want to hear from you
today eight nine four one, Shawn, as we continue this Friday.
In fact, today, Hispanic American on small businesses are growing
at a tremendous rate, especially among our Latina's raise your hands,

(18:58):
go ahead. That's it's tough to compete with. I will
tell you who are leading the way in starting new businesses.
You're leading the way. You're leading the way. You guys
better get going. And once we pass our historic tax
reform plan, and we are having not only reform, we're

(19:21):
having the largest tax cuts in the history of our country,
the history of that. Does anybody in this room mind
getting a massive tax cut? Does anybody? Does anybody object
to paying less taxes? I don't see any hands, all right.

(19:43):
That's when the President was talking about businesses, Latino owned
businesses in America and giving the tax cuts, which uh,
we're gonna be talking about. I'm sure a lot next
week is this comes back up. We have a lot
of other news we need to get to today. We
have some liberal hypocrisy as it relates to Harvey Weinstein.
And uh, it's actually interesting all the money democrats take.

(20:06):
And it's also interesting all these late night comics that
would be so critical of any conservative that does one
thing wrong. Oh, their voices are so silent. I wonder
why is it? Maybe because maybe he has power in
Hollywood and would have the ability to help get them
a job. I'm just thinking. Anyway, we're watching it another
hurricane emerge. This one it looks like it may be

(20:29):
headed towards Baton Rouge area, that area, and uh, maybe
even towards New Orleans. And uh joining us is the
official meteorologist of the Sean Hannity Show. For a while,
he was a co host, but we have reduced his
role in light of the lower hurricane volume. We have
our buddy job Astartia's with us. How are you? I
actually missed talking to you. Well, I wish we could

(20:52):
talk on nicer terms and nicer times. But it seems
like you talk to me a lot about fitness. Yeah,
we we do. And you know, when you have ten minutes,
I do have some suggestions for you to get that
rock hard body, even uh rocky and harder so you
can fight all you want to fight. I think anybody
really wants to hear all this. This sounds so bad anyway,

(21:16):
going doesn't always doesn't look you want to know it's not. Well,
you know, I'm into martial arts and working out, and
and you are heavy into bodybuilding and working out. So
it's you know, and you know, Joan, you know it
gives you advantage and your job. I mean because it does.
It gives you energy. That's the first thing. But the
second thing is if you can take the physical challenges,

(21:39):
those physical challenges, and then when you equate them to
the mental challenge, okay, that you go over every day preparation, preparation,
understanding that thing, it just loops in perfectly. I tell
that to people all the time, that you know, if
if if you keep yourself pushing yourself like that, you
simply do it on every single thing you do that's
important to it. That's so if you have and if

(22:00):
you have disciplined in your life, he usually carries into
everything you do. I can't imagine not getting up and working.
I mean, I don't do it on the weekends, but
when I'm in my work week, I'm gone, I'm I'm busy,
I'm working, Well, you work seven because you're looking at
weather seven. And if not, you're studying what happened in
eighteen seventy two in terms of the week the year.

(22:24):
I shouldn't. Why did I start the conversation eighteen eighty six? Anyway?
So how bad this hurricane? Who's gonna get hit? Looks
like Baton Rouge for now? Maybe New Orleans. Well, it's
a tropical storm right now in the landfall. I have
it going in tomorrow night between nine and nine and
midnight between Grand Isle, Louisian and Boothville. Now that's at

(22:45):
the mouth of the Mississippi, very close to the mouth
in Mississippi. The part of the delta that juts out
and then it comes up to the east. It looks
to me like it's shifting a bit east, so that
instead of going at Baton Rouge, it looks like it's
going to come up on the to the east New
Orleans and more towards the Mississippi coast. But over that
extreme eastern peace of Louisiana. And here's here's the problem.

(23:07):
We've had this big high pressure system that's led to
delightful weather over the northeast for the last five six days.
But what that does to the south of it has
been easterly winds just roaring all the way from South
Bermuda into Florida. Led to what we just saw in
Florida this week, which was a big high tide that
they had at the full moon. Plus the easterly winds
we get them on the East coast a lot of
times in the winter, but it's also doing it in

(23:29):
the northern Gulf. So we are already having water levels
two to three ft above normal back in toward New Orleans.
And even though most of the pumps, they've been having
problems with the pumps in New Orleans, the flooding, the
threat of flooding, even from a lesser system is a
big problem. So as this storm approaches tomorrow, the east
and southeast winds are going to be increasing in the

(23:51):
area to the east to the Louisiana Coast, the area
that juts down the Delta area. That's going to start
pushing water back in there. And then the storm comes
through tomorrow night. Fortunately, it's going to move very very quickly,
and right now I think the center is going to
go east of New Orleans. And that's important because if
it can go east to New Orleans, and New Orleans
doesn't get into the strong east to southeast wind that

(24:13):
keeps driving water back into Ponto Train. It would not
be as bad as if the center came back a
little bit further west than this part. This is going
to sound like a stupid question. I should know the
answer to it. I'm just assuming New Orleans got their
act together and that they have created um that there's
not gonna be any more breach if God forbid, they

(24:34):
get hit with the three four or five again. Now, well,
the if you got hit from from the east southeast,
if a storm moved from let's say west of Tampa,
uh right into New Orleans from the east southeast is
a three four or five, I don't know how you
can stop that, no matter what you do, because the
water would just keep coming back coming back. Remember, Katrina

(24:54):
was only nine ft and Ponto Train the five ft
surge went up in the Mississippi because Katrina head up
to the east of the Katrina was not the worst
case scenario, but this storm is not. This storm compared
to Katrina is very very small. The problem we have
with this, as far as I'm concerning, is the last
twelve hours to landfall. It may try to intensify quite rapidly.

(25:18):
Remember how Harvey. It's not gonna it's not gonna intensify
as fast as Harvey. But the same kind of parameters
October style are there, and so we do worry about it.
It will be moving fast, though, so it has a
limited amount of time to do that. So I think
that I think that you know you're in for You're
in for a blow in Southeast Louisiana, especially in Mississippi

(25:39):
over to Mobile. I think the worst parts of this
storm were going from the mouth of the Mississippi up
to Mobile, Alabama. That area in there gets it worse.
But part of it comes back into New Orleans, and
if we shifted west another thirty forty miles, it would
be a worse storm for New Orleans. The complicating factor
in New Orleans and I keep trying to get a
handle on this, and I don't know exactly what the

(25:59):
story is, what the pumps there. I know that they've
been repairing the pumps and they've got to test them.
But they've been a couple of big thunderstorms that have
gone through New Orleans where there was a lot more
flooding than normally occurred, so that is a problem in
the New Orleans area. We're gonna be watching over the weekend.
We always appreciate it. And the reason we like to
have job is starting on is because he's he can
help you in this audience prepare and hopefully save lives

(26:22):
and property and you make good decisions for you and
your family. And uh, Joe has been really dead on accurate.
You get accuracy rating this year where others would have
been so wrong. And we always appreciate your insight. Thank you,
my friend. Thanks for having me on. Talk to you
one Shawn if you want to be a part of
the program. The president now for a couple of days,

(26:45):
he was speaking as the White House Chief of Staff
John Kelley by the way summer saying his text messages
may have been hacked now for many many months, which
could have happened. We'll see the latest on that, which
is pretty awful. Mean, I think privacy in the sense
that we all believed was inherent in what we do
now is at risk for everybody, and it's something we'll

(27:07):
stay focused on and talk about often. Anyway, the President
is now two days running, given a cryptic and somewhat
ominous warning with military leaders around him in a in
the cabine room setting. Yesterday and today he gave this
warning to reporters while he was taking pictures with the generals.

(27:27):
And you guys know what this represents? He said, Maybe
it's maybe it's the calm before the storms represents. Tell us,
maybe it's the commence could be storm we have wom

(27:51):
I will tell you that. Thank you all. What fun
you'll find What storm is that? Mr President, you'll find out,

(28:12):
he says cryptically. Now there is news that we ought
to be paying attention to. And obviously our our attention
has been distracted all week, and the mass shooting, the
largest in American history, took a lot of our focus
this week on the air. But uh, there's a report
out today that the Russian news agency sput Nike is

(28:32):
quoting a Russian lawmaker who had just returned from North
Korea who says Kim Jong un is ready to test
the missile that's capable of reaching the continental United States.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle already been reports that they're
gonna build missiles that could reach New York in Boston,
so they're preparing a new test for a long range missile.

(28:55):
They even gave us the mathematical calculations that they believe
proved that their missile and hit the western coast of
the US, said a member of the Russian State Duma
Committee on International Affairs, and the lawmaker added that the
general mood in Pyongyang is rather belligerent. So is it that?
Is it that the president is just keeping everybody on

(29:17):
their toes. President is a great negotiator. I don't think
i'd want to mess with the U. S military. President, thankfully, too,
appears to be setting the stage to fulfill another campaign
promise withdrawing America from this disastrous Iranian deal, and the
president has accused iranom not living up to the spirit
of the nuclear deal. Amid reports that the plans to

(29:39):
withdraw the certification of the agreement. And he just said
again yesterday that the Iranian regime supports terrorism. They export violence,
bloodshed and chaos across the Middle East in the world
as he was meeting, and they said, that's why we
must put an end to Iran's continued aggression. And they're
continued nuclear ambitions. They have not lived up to the

(30:00):
spirit of the agreement. And he told reporters you'll be
hearing about it RAN very shortly. We must not allow
a Ran to obtain nuclear weapons. If they do, then
we know what's gonna happen. Exactly what we have here,
an Ci Pelosi speaking today, I believe it is the
same group that the President spoke to. Anyway, is uh
you know she who was on CNN last night, I

(30:21):
guess thanking illegal alien parents for breaking US immigration laws
and sneaking their children across the border. She actually thanked
them anyways, at some town hall that CNN was running,
and she took a question from a member of the audience.
Has said that he and his sister are beneficiaries of
Obama's data policy and they're terrified of being deported. And

(30:43):
Pelosi said, dreamers are beautiful, and we frankly owe a
debt of gratitude to your parents for bringing you here
to be such a brilliant part of our future. Well,
thank you for breaking our laws. Coming from a lawmaker,
it's gonna be interesting this Sunday to watch what the
NFL does. UM Ticket prices now are down twenty compared

(31:04):
to twenty sixteen, according to The Washington Times and an
analysis by CNBC that ticket prices during the first three
games of seventeen enjoyed increase over last year, but skidded
and actually dropped um in in week two, so they're down.

(31:24):
All of this had all happened, the Democrats now find
themselves in a bit of a dilemma. You've got this
scandal in New York Times investigation into Hollywood produced by
I could care less about Harvey Weinstein. I really could
care less, major donor to the d n C, big, big,
big Democratic liberal funder and uncovered allegations of sexual harassment,

(31:47):
unwanted physical contact, you know, stretching over thirty years and anyway,
a huge donor. Now the Democrats were wondering what they
should do. They took the money you got Senators Booker,
Jilla Brand, Schumer, how As Frankin among the Democrats who
got money, Senators Stabenow and Casey upper reelection coming in
Tighten took over two grand from him. Two prominent Democratic

(32:10):
governors Andrew Cuomo Terry mccauloff accepted tens of thousands of dollars. UH.
Senator Warren Lahy Blumenthal. UH. They're now announcing very quickly
they're donating the contributions as quickly as they can to charity.
There's an interesting NewsBusters piece today, the headline not speaking
truth to power. Brave late night hosts skipped the Weinstein's

(32:32):
sex scandal. It's a good point because if it was
a Republican or a conservative, you know pretty darn well
that Stephen Colbert and some others. Why because he's powerful
and might want to hire them. One day, visitor log
show that Weinstein visited the Obama White House, but thirteen
times over thirteen times, Um, so that's pretty interesting. The

(32:56):
lawyer defending Harvey Weinstein, uh is, by the way, the
same lawyer, let me get this right, is uh in
the sexual harassment claim is the same attorney that tried
to derail President Trump's presidential campaign. Remember that you got
Weinstein raised nearly seven grand for Obama before hiring his daughter,

(33:20):
Democrats some of them, and now saying, oh, we're gonna
return Harvey the harasser's campaign cash. You know, you never
know in these cases. I just just it's just the
hypocrisy of it all that stinks to high heaven. It's
a conservative. There's one treatment, liberal another treatment. All Right,
we've got a lot to get to today, including a

(33:40):
passionate debate on the issue of Second Amendment rights and
what the MEATIA is not going to tell you. Meet
this hero. Thomas Gunderson is on the program today, John Lawton,
Tim Schmidt when we get back, and then we have
Jay Sekulo, Sarah Carter, and John Solomon all coming up.
Just watching a story. I got reporters on it to
confirm it, but just telling you keeping the loop of

(34:01):
what we're investigating. Gateway Pundit reporting the gunman Steven Paddock
may have traveled to Middle Eastern countries like Jordan's and
the United Arab Emirates on cruises doesn't mean a thing.
The only thing is is Ices continues to triple down
on being responsible for the shooting and saying that he
had converted no evidence whatsoever. I'm just I'm just kind

(34:24):
of keeping your loop of what we're watching and just
one of many theories and that we're following. We want
to get to the truth. As always, we'll let you
know the sentim. Jority leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker at the House,
Paul Ryan, a number of other lawmakers who won't do
anything about this because the n r A has their
balls in a money clip. Also sent their thoughts and
their prayers today, which is good. They should be praying.

(34:46):
They should be praying for God to forgive them for
letting the gun lobby lobby run this country, because why
don't we act? What? What is the problem? What was
it about first graders losing their lives that was and
sad enough to result in changes. The n r A
has just incredible grip on the Republican Party, and our

(35:08):
job is going to be to turn in our a
into not relevant anymore in American politics? Do you feel
like they're complicit the GOP, the n r A, and
the gun epidemic we're seeing in America. They are, of
course they are. We have a moral responsibility to do
something otherwise we are failing, and we are failing the
people of this country whose lives through its stake. Why

(35:31):
do we have a group of laws. The guy can
have twenty weapons, twenty five weapons like this and literally
kill kill, just go hunting for human beings like he
did a couple of nights ago. Reinstate the assault weapons
ban or come up with a better answer. Thoughts and
prayers are good, They're simply not enough. Thoughts and prayers

(35:53):
are not enough when more moms and dads will bury
their children this week, And thoughts and prayers are not
enough when sons and daughters will be forced to grow
up without their parents. Attacks like we have seen today
have happened all too often in America. This is going
to reopen a debate over guns in this country, well,
it is, but I think it's really important to make

(36:15):
sure we do it accurately. I think this is a
time for a natural dialogue that we can have a
qualm un reasonable in which the country can figure out
how come we have so many mass shootings in this country.
We can't have that conversation because it immediately becomes so
emotional between the gun owners of America who are protected
by the n r A and other people are saying
there ought to be a more reasonable middle ground. What

(36:36):
Congress must do is past laws to keep our citizens safe,
and that starts with laws that help prevent guns, especially
the most dangerous guns, from falling into the wrong hands.
We saw this evil in Newtown just a few years ago.
Nothing has changed since Newtown. Congress has been complicit. We
also ought to be angry. In fact, I'm furious that

(36:58):
Congress has been complicit. Now of the time for action.
Do you want to make America great again? Do something
the last two presidents haven't been able to do. Pass
any kind of common sense gun controlled legislation. Yeah. One
thing the American public always knows that the elites always
protect themselves, and they always protect themselves with guns. And

(37:18):
then they lectured the American public how you shouldn't do that.
But in the heart of the American public all over
this country, they see these monsters and they don't want
to be alone out there. They want to be able
to protect themselves. One of the things that happened in
Las Vegas when they said shelter in place, the first
thing that came up when they were sheltered, they said,

(37:39):
does somebody have a gun? We saw it with the
hurricanes this past week in Texas and Florida and places
like that. Louisiana. People are when the when the water
is rising, when it goes dark. The American public values
is freedom to protect themselves. And now you have Diane
Finestein and Schumer in the media to get this horrible

(37:59):
tragedy d and they want to piggyback their whole agenda
to ban guns restrict law abiding people for the last
twenty years this circus on the back of this tragedy
and enacted. And what the n r A is final
for is reciprocity enforced. The existing federal gun laws protect
the Americans right to protect himself. All right, our to

(38:20):
Sean Hannity show. That last voice you heard was that
of Wayne Lampierre, who was on Hannity last night on
the Fox News Channel. As if you listen very closely
to all of those people that are suggesting, let's shred
the Constitution, let's get rid of the Second Amendment. Even
the New York Times so called conservative the one conservative

(38:41):
writer that they have he wants to abolish the Second Amendment.
It happens predictably after any incident where a weapon is
used in a in a shooting or a killing. When
it comes to facts and figures and numbers, those are
all ignored. Data is ignored completely because we have brought
this information, this data to you as a show both

(39:04):
on radio and TV for years, and they don't want
to engage in what the real data says now. But
if you listen closely, you know you've got the late
night comedians and and I'm sure, there's not one voice
that you heard there that doesn't make millions and millions
of dollars a year. I doubt there is one studio
which they taped for a live audience where there are

(39:26):
not security guards in the studio. And I think I'd
bet a pretty healthy amount of money with pretty good
odds that there's at least one of them that is
armed in that studio in case God forbid, somebody in
the audience tears to run after the precious Prima Donna
comedian host on any given night, and they certainly, you know,
would want to be protected. Then you've got the politicians

(39:48):
and the celebrity same thing with them. They live in
their gated communities that have security guards. They have the
best security systems, the most expensive security systems, you know,
isolated from the rest of the world as much as
they can possibly be. We showed on Hannity last night
video of the Emmys and Oscars, and when you look,

(40:09):
you see, you know, security galore. And the tax payers
even fund some of that security because it's the l
A p. D. At the case of it's a Los
Angeles red carpet event, they're there also, So you have
plenty of armed security for the guards, and I'm sure
that they would demand it if it wasn't there. That's
not the question here. Question is what about the average
American citizen. There is evil in this world. There are

(40:32):
people that rape, there are people that rob, there are
people that steal, There are people that seemingly want to
hurt innocent people for no reason whatsoever. Then you have
people with ideologies that they want to fulfill, and do
those Americans constitutionally have the right to be able to
defend themselves, their families, their children, their wives. It's not

(40:55):
the same universe that these people lecturing us live in
from most people. Most people don't live in a huge,
security ridden gated community. Most people don't have you know,
million dollar security systems. Most people don't have guards with
them or people that are are trained to defend in

(41:15):
situation should they arise. Most people don't have arm guards.
The only defense they have is themselves if somebody, God
forbid breaks into their house. So what do they get
to do. Do they have the right to defend themselves
and do more guns equal less crime? Well we've proven
that over and over again this week, but we're here
to talk more about it and joining us. John Lott

(41:36):
is the president of the Crime Prevention Center, is also
the author of Now And I think it's fifty of
addition for Crying Out Loud because it keeps updating it
with with fact state and information more guns less crime.
Tim Schmidt is with us. He's the president of the
US Concealed Carry Association, of which they are a proud
sponsor of this program. And yeah, I believe in the
products that I sponsor on this program. And one of

(41:58):
the things that I know the U. S c c
A is deeply involved in is something called gun safety
and how to be a safe gun owner, just like
the n r A is involved in the safety and
training of the use of firearms. You know, when people
call me on this program, I want to I think
I'm gonna get myself one of those big a K
forty seven things that I've heard about. And I'm like,
why do you think, hannedy, What's what's the gun that

(42:19):
I want to get? My answer is, well, you got
to get trained in the use of whatever firearm you
feel most comfortable using. But you've got to get the training.
And I was trained in gun safety at eleven and
I still do refreshing courses. I took a course in
Florida in the last year on gun safety just to
just just to update, just to remember. And I and

(42:39):
that's the type of thing that the U s c
c A Is involved in. If God forbid, you have
to protect yourself anyway, Welcome back to the program. John,
you hear all these people, what's your reaction? Thanks for
having me on. There's so many false statements. I'm not
insure where to start. You know, I heard Tom broke
Claw saying, you know, how come we have so many
mass shootings in this country compared to the rest of

(42:59):
the world, And that's simply false. I mean, even if
you compare us to Europe, whether you look at during
the Obama administration or you go back all the way
since nineteen six nineteen seventy, the casualty rates from mass
public shootings are much higher in Europe than they are
in the United States. Over the eight years of the
Obama administration, the casually rate per capita you have to
put it on a per capita base for the European

(43:21):
Union was fifty percent higher than the rate in the
United States. People forget you had a hundred and thirty
people killed and hundreds wounded at the concert shooting in
Paris in two thousand and fifteen. You had three other
major attacks there. You had Norway, you had tax in
Germany and Italy, all across the continent there in the
European Union. But I want to do something. Every time

(43:43):
you have these types of attacks, you have to realize
the types of proposals that they're putting forward have nothing
to do with these attacks. I wish, I wish one
reporter would say, Okay, you want these background checks on
private transfers. Would it have stopped the attack in Las Vegas?
Can you name one attack act during the Obama administration
it would have stopped because President Obama went out there

(44:04):
time after time, every single talk that he gave on
mass public shootings, he pushed background checks on private transfers
as a solution, and yet nobody asked him. Can you
name one of these attacks that you've talked about what
would have mannered? Wouldn't have mattered for years before that,
I think, and we can talk about. I think they
have another reason why they pushed this particular law and

(44:24):
try to shoehorn it into something that it's never related to.
But there is something we can do, and over nine
percent of these mass public shootings since ninety The common
factor is that these killers go after people in areas
where general citizens aren't allowed to defend themselves. These guys
may be crazy in something, but they're not stupid. They

(44:47):
know and you can see it in their diaries, you
can see it in other statements that they made. They
know that they're going to be able to go and
kill and name more people if somebody's not there quickly
with a gun to stop up them. Tim Submitt is
the president of the US Concealed Carrey Association. You hear
me doing their ads proudly, and I just love the
fact him that you know, you're offering people solid information

(45:11):
that we're offering right now under and sixty four pages.
You can get it. You can download it right now
if you go to defend family dot com. And one
of the things you're talking about is, you know, what,
if God forbid you find yourself in this situation, you know,
how do you think? In a situational awareness is what
you teach. Also, gun safety is a big part of
what the U s c c A is all about.

(45:31):
That's right, Sean, And thanks for having me on. It's
great to talk to you again, and you're right, the
u SEC. We're all about education, training and really helping
and empowering average US citizens to be that responsible gun
owner in that first line of defense for for their family.
And I gotta tell you what really put the b
in my bonnet with what that whole montage that you
played with these media and Hollywood e leaves. They sit

(45:53):
there and they shake their fingers at us and they
look at us at flyover states because these common people
that don't need guns, when in fact they're all they're
all guarded by armed guards. And the fact of the
matter is that this is the U. S Department of
Justice study typical everyday Americans responsibly on Americans youth guns
one and a half million times or more every single

(46:15):
year to stop crimes, crimes like rapes, crimes like murders, assaults.
So don't tell me the guns only do bad things.
It's actually quite the opposite, you know. I want to
remind people too because and as we continue Sean Hannity
Show eight nine one, Shawn tim Schmidt is the president
of the US Concealed Carry Association, UM so proud to
be associated with them and their organization and how you

(46:37):
can defend your family and stay safe and be a
responsible gun owner. John Lott is the president of the
Crime Prevention Research Center UM And this information that people have.
I get a little upset when there are irresponsible gun
owners and those people that ask me, Kennedy, what kind
of big gun do you carry? It's not a matter
of a big gun, it's a matter of what gun

(46:57):
are you gonna get trained? Hit? How important? From your
first I think it's the most important thing. Get trained.
Talk to experts, former military police, the guys that teach you.
They love what they do. And you don't have to
go in and feel guilty that you don't know something
to say. All right, I have not had this experience.
I want to learn from people that understand it so
I can be a responsible gun owner. Yeah, Sehan, you
hit the nail and they had. Training is by far

(47:19):
the most important thing. And one of the things I
like to say all the time is that training is
like eating and bathing. It's best when done on a
regular basis. So training isn't something you just do once.
It's something that you do over and over so that
so that you you you train in your your muscle memory,
and you're you're reacting instead of thinking, because when when
the you know, when the thing hits the fan, you're

(47:39):
gonna you're gonna default to your lowest level of training.
And so the fact that you're bringing this up is
so valuable and so important. Well, I was recently in Florida,
John and I went to a gun shop down there,
and you know, so I said, I just want to
take a basic, simple reminder safety course and the guy
just said, all right, here we you know, he wanted
to see how well I would shoot. You know, I

(48:00):
grouped it perfectly, bulls eyes, every one of them. And
the guy literally said, keep watching me how I handled
the firearm. And he goes, you sure you want the
beginner's safety course. I see, yeah, I want to go
over I just want to go over everything. I want to.
I want to refresher course. And the guy was far
more knowledgeable in firearms than I was, and we went
over all these different weapons, even those that I don't have,
and I learned. I left having learned a lot. Sure. Look,

(48:24):
one thing you see when you look at concealed care
permit holders is how incredibly law abiding these individuals are.
That even when training is required. When you see states
that like Idaho or others that have moved to so
called constitutional carey where permits not required and training isn't mandated,
you actually see big increases in the number of people

(48:44):
in rolling in classes in order to get training on
their own. But just give you an idea how law
abiding these individuals are. They lose their permits for any
type of firearms related violation at thousands or tens of
thousands of a percentage point. Police are rarely convicted of
misdemeanors or felonies. Uh, but permit holders are convicted at

(49:06):
about one seventh the rate the police officers are. And um,
you know, I would argue it's pretty hard to find
almost any for the safety and benefit of people. John,
Where can people find your research online? They can get
your book More Guns Less Crime, But you have a
website that talks about all these statistics. Where is that?
It's at crime research dot org. Crime Research dot Org.

(49:29):
And my latest book that kind of goes through a
lot of the latest debate is called the War on
Guns all right. And by the way, you can go
to Defend Family dot com for Tim Schmidt's hundred and
sixty four page guy. That gives you so much information
and knowledge that helps you be a better gun owner,
which I urge everybody to be if they're going to
and understanding the safety. Alright, guys, thank you both for

(49:51):
being with us. Eight nine four one sean toll free
telephone number if you want to be a part of
the program. When we come back, I'll have a debate
on this very topic coming up, but first we'll shift gears.
J Seculo, John Solomon, and Sarah Carter join us and
will update you on the latest of what's going on
in the investigations into masking, surveillance, leaking, and much more.

(50:13):
Straight ahead, didn't the I R S scandal and the
NSA atrocities convince you you need a watchdog on Washington
with insiders sources. You need Hannity every day. Pas some

(50:36):
of the work done so far. What's your assessment of
what the Russian did do into the sixteen, what they're
doing now, and what we contended to Just say, I
think there is large consensus that they hacked into political files,
release those files, and effort to influence the election. We
think they actively tried to at least test the vulnerabilities

(51:01):
of twenty one states electoral systems, and we feel that
they used the social media firms both in terms of
paid advertising and what I believe is more problematic, but
created false accounts and others that would drive interests towards
stories or groups, and generally those stories or groups were

(51:21):
just so chaos and drive division in our country. And
I think that the pattern that they used in America
they have used in other nations around the world. And
I fear sometimes if you add up all they've spent,
that was a decent rate of return for them. Unfortunately,
let me add to it, we can certifiably say that
no vote totals were affected, that the talies are accurate

(51:44):
the outcome of the election based upon the count of votes. UM.
They did not in any way, shape or form that
we've been able to find alter that if we used
solely the social media advertising that we have seen, there's
no way that you can look at that and say
that that was to help the right side of the
ideological chart and and and uh not the left or

(52:05):
vice versa. They were indiscriminate. One of the things that's
most challenging to this investigation is with the exception of
certain UM pieces that have already been discussed. Uh, it
seems that the overall theme of the Russian involvement in
the US elections was to create chaos at every level.
And I would tell you the fact that we're sitting

(52:27):
here nine months later investigating it, they have been pretty
starned successful. All I can tell you is that the
votes recounted one person one and um, that's how it's
going to study. All right, this is the Sean Hannity shows.
One of the main intelligence officials that testified before Congress said, yeah,
they've tried to influence this election. Yeah, they tried to
influence past elections. Yeah, they'll try to influence future elections.

(52:50):
And by the way, if you want the real culpability
or blame, I would argue that this was known in
the Obama administration actually did nothing about it. Now, the
quest is, Okay, where did this dossier on Donald Trump
come from? With this former m I six guy steal
that actually had false information in it and said, oh,
Donald Trump was at the RITZ in Moscow and he

(53:14):
had two hookers that were urinating on his bed, which
turned out to be false. The guy that James Comey
wanted to pay or perhaps even paid some fifty thousan
dollars too. We haven't gotten a definitive answer on any
of that. Now. What we heard is no votes were changed,
no talies were different, nothing happened, and apparently was on
both sides that they were just trying to so chaos,

(53:36):
not particularly pick one candidate over another. Here to sort
all of this out, Sarah Carter of Circuit dot Com,
Jay Seculo, the Chief Council of the American Center for
Law Injustice, and Council to the President John Solomon of
The Hill are here with us. Jay. Let me let
me start with you. I want to know who paid
for this dossier. It originally started, I guess with a
Republican but it was picked up by Democrats and what

(53:58):
and is there any fluence that you see here in
terms of Russians trying to impact our elections like they've
done in the past. Well with relate to the dossier,
which has been you know, completely, you know, a complete fabrication.
So this was the Steel dossier. It looks like it
was started by h Initially, the research was done by
Fusion GPS in concert possibly with others. As you mentioned,

(54:19):
it may have actually been put together initially by some
Republicans but ultimately was picked up by the Democrats. But
the most important aspect of this was it ultimately picked
up by the FBI. In other words, did the Federal
Bureau of Investigation actually pay money UH to Steel to
produce this document? This after all as a document purportedly
that was utilized by James Comey to UH when he

(54:40):
met with the President of the United States to let
him know this was out there, which I've said before
is a hoovert kind of tactic in other words, almost
an extortioner or an attempted extortion by holding this, you know,
document that I'm wanting to know, Mr President, the lack
of Mr President at that point. We have this information
UH that has not come out yet as to who
was the actual funder where the money actually came from.

(55:02):
But there's certainly ongoing Senate investigations on that. We've got
Reformation Act requests out on it, and I think it
points to the more serious problem. And that was what
you heard today from the both the franking member and
the chairman of the Intel Committee, some nine months after
these investigations were up, Only nine months after these investigations

(55:22):
have really gotten underway. So what do we know. We
know that the Russians were trying to sow chaos into
the elections, according to the committee. We also know that
they've been trying to do that for decades. We know
that not one vote was changed, not one vote tally
was changed, not one machine of voting calibration was breached
in this and that even the ads that were purportedly

(55:43):
run on the social media sites and the social media platforms,
as the chairman said, they didn't skew right or left.
They were just skewing, you know, chaos. So you've got
a situation where they and they certainly had no evidence
and they have not produced any evidence of any kind
of collusion at this point. So I think this tells
you what we've got is a lot of expense, a

(56:03):
lot of time commitment going on. I think this fund's
paper though, because Fusion GPS recklessly distributed the dossier to
media outlets, and and Fusion was working at the time
for a political ally of Hillary Clinton's, and we could
take it a step further, Sarah Carter, from from your
reporting and and some of the things that we've learned

(56:23):
in the past, we know that this guy Christopher Steele
was paying Russians to come up with the information that
turned out to be false. And then I want to
know why did why did the f BEHIND director at
the time, James Comey, want to buy false information that
was being disseminated by the Democrats and hire this guy.
I think that's the biggest question, Sean, I mean, why

(56:45):
why was he willing to do that? Or or did
he do that? But I think if you go back
and we just look at Fusion GPS and how they
worked with the Russians to wabby on behalf of the Kremlin.
So here we have a company that is basically put
into gather a dotti, a that has all of these
solacious arguments against President Trump, saying all of these these

(57:07):
horrific things about about President Trump, spreading these alive out there,
and at the same time they were working with the
Russians to lobby against, you know, against the Magnitsky Act
on behalf of the Kremlin. And I mean Fusion GPS
was working with a Russian man, a Russian that suspected
so be an agent by the name of Rena a

(57:28):
Finishing and they were working on this together. So these
are the questions that the Senate Judiciary Committee had, what
was the relationship between Christopher Steel and Fusion GPS, how
his Fusion GPS then become involved in this, in this
investigation into President Trump and who initially paid for that.
But one thing we see is clear is that the

(57:49):
connections to the Russians are not on the part of
President Trump and his administration, but the connections to Russia
who lie very clearly Infusion GPS and other people who
put this together against Trump. So the connection if if
Fusion GPS has connected to Hillary and you've got Christopher Steele,

(58:11):
the former m I six agent, is now getting a
lot of this what turned out to be false information
from Russians, and that information is being disseminated and the
FBI director seemingly wants to continue even though the information
is false. With this, can an argument be made, John
Solomon that there was collusion if you will, or maybe

(58:31):
that's too strong a word, or some type of symbiotic
relationship between Christopher Steele, the Russians and the Clinton campaign
to hurt Donald Trump. Well, I think there's even a
bigger question. Let's go back to one of the original
stories that Sarah and I wrote last March. In April
where we raised the question there were some people in
the intelligence community saying they were concerned at the conclusion

(58:51):
that Russia was trying to help Donald Trump was discredited
by some of the evidence in their hand. And one
of the pieces of evidence is the doss to assume
the dossier asked balts information from it. That's assume has
been republic it came from Russians. If the Russians are
trying to help Donald Trump get elected, why would they
still help a British guy philo dossier full of negative
information about Trump's It literally undercut one of the primary

(59:14):
conclusions that the intelligence assessment made, that they were clearly
trying to help Donald Trump. And a lot of the
intelligence professionals I've talked to have told me that this
dossier cuts against that concept that the Russians were just
trying to help elect Donald Trump. What did you hear
the chairman say, We're not yet sold on the idea
that the Russians were expressing a preference. They may have
just been selling chaos. That's a big shift and change

(59:35):
in the in the discussion we've been having for the
last year. Yeah, let me play this cut Richard Burr
talking about the Steele dossier can cannot be trusted because
he won't speak to us listen to what he said
as it relates to the Steele dossier. Unfortunately, the Committee
has hit a wall. We have on several occasions made
attempts to contact Mr Steele, to meet with Mr Steele,

(59:57):
to include personally the vice share Mean and myself as
two individuals making that connection. Those offers have gone unaccepted.
The Committee cannot really decide the credibility of the dossier
without understanding things like who paid for who are your
sources and subsources. We're investigating a very expansive Russian network

(01:00:20):
of interference in US elections, and though we have been
incredibly enlightened at our ability to rebuild backwards the Steele
dossier up to a certain date, getting past that point
has been somewhat impossible. And I say this because I
don't think we're going to find any intelligence products that
unlock that key to pre June of UH sixteen. My

(01:00:45):
hope is that Mr Steele will make a decision to
meet with either Mark and I are the Committee, or
both so that we can hear his side of it
versus for us to depict in our findings what his
intent or what his actions were. He's talking about that,
Senator Burr interference, not collusion. Jay, let me go to
you on that. To me, it just sounds like the
opposite may end up being true. We do, have you

(01:01:07):
seen any evidence of any Trump member campaign member that
colluded with the Russian this past campaign? No, and more importantly,
neither has the Senate or the House committees. There's been
no evidence they've come forward and not they've not come
forward with any evidence of collusion. And in fact, the
witnesses that have testified have established the exact oppice, at

(01:01:29):
least the ones we know that have testified and information
has been released publicly. Um. You know, I'm not gonna
speculate as to what what what people haven't seen obviously,
because who knows. But I will tell you this, there's
been no evidence submitted on Russia collusion because there was not.
All Right, we'll take a break. We'll come back more
with j Secular, more with John Solomon, more with Sarah Carter.

(01:01:51):
All right, as we continue with Sarah Carter and Jay
Seculo and John Solomon are with us. So if you
have Sarah, if you got Fusion GPS literally locked at
the hip with Christopher Steele and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
They're disseminating false information on Donald Trump and the FBI
director wanting to involve themselves in it. Then I think
you can add another piece of the puzzle, which would

(01:02:12):
be the Uranium one deal sign off and then the
kickback of a million dollars little Clinton Foundation. It would
seem if anyone was closer, any campaign was closer to
the Russians or close to the Russians, it would have
been the Clinton campaign. Well, it would appear by the
evidence that's out there, by the information that we had
had access to, by what we see that that is

(01:02:32):
certainly a concern, And I know some people want to
call for a special counsel on that and want an investigation.
But even more importantly, Shyne, I think when we think
about the dossier itself, if the FBI used that dossier
to launch the investigation into Trump, they should know who
came for that dossier. I'm sure they investigated that. Don't

(01:02:53):
you think it's time for the FBI to at least
get that information to the Senate If they don't want
to release that publicly, and they say it's intelligence that
with Here's then my big, big, fifty million dollar question
is this Congressman roar Backer met with Julian Assange, John Solomon,

(01:03:15):
and Sane is the one guy we know would know
where these the emails, the d n C Podesta emails
all came from because they were given to him and
he's the one that made them public, so he knows
where they came from. Now, from what we can tell,
Robert Mueller and everybody and nobody's picked up the phone
to call Julian Assange. Why not? That's a great question.

(01:03:37):
And I think next week, uh, there'll be some new
information that comes to light about how thin the conclusion
is inside the intelligence community, about how they make the
connection to Russia and the Wiki League documents. It is
not a slam dunk factually based or evidence based conclusion.
It is a it's a guest And next week I'll
be able to report a little bit about that. I'll

(01:03:58):
also be able to report a little bit more. There
is a document that I've seen that shows the FBI
does know who funded to steal dossier, and I'm still
working on reporting that, but I can tell you what
I've seen the FBI does know the identity of the
person who funded the dossier, and if they know that
it should be in the hands of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Is that question? Is that person connected more with the

(01:04:19):
Clinton campaign or the Trump campaign? Can you tell us that, uh,
still doing work to verify something. But I can say
the person is definitely involved in politics. That's what I
can say. Someone they definitely involved in policy. Can we
say that it would change the narrative from where it
is now dramatically? No, No, it actually would extentiate the
narrative that this was meant to be a political hit
job from the beginning. But it probably started in the

(01:04:42):
Republican Party. I think that the evidence is going to
be overwhelming, and then it started as an effort to
slow Donald Trump's mark and then and then it was
picked up by the Democratic Party. Not as clear there.
There's a great question about whether this dossier was picked
up at the intelligence community and the intelligence him and
you driving it into the fall rather than another political operative.

(01:05:05):
And that's the danger of politicized intelligence. This is going
to be this that's weaponizing intelligence. All right, Thank you
all for being with us. Appreciated One Sean On numbers,
and we'll have full and complete coverage tonight. Will also
tell you the truth about guns that nobody else in
the media will ever tell you, and we'll get to
your call straight ahead. Now we have to turn to

(01:05:27):
renewed calls shouts begs for gun restrictions in the wake
of the Las Vegas mash shooting. The Second Amendment is
there for a reason. You can own your gun, but
it doesn't extend to allowing an individual to own forty
seven guns high powered semi automatic weapon guns. The idea
now that they're going to rouse themselves to action on

(01:05:49):
bub stocks, that is putting a band aid on on
on a broken leg. There's so much more that could
be done. If you want to buy a gun, a handgun,
a long gun, if you want to buy forty nine
of them, feel free, which you're also going to have
to buy an insurance policy minimum of say twenty five
grand of the public. Democrats and Republicans favor closing any

(01:06:12):
and all private sale and gun show loopholes that exist.
So the court I think, in fact has it right.
That's that's something of an irony here. The court has
it right that the right of to bear arms is
extremely expansive. Now that seems to me strange and uh
and and dangerous. We have great Britain is the oldest

(01:06:32):
free country in the world, and yet somehow conservatives have
this idea that the only right that guarantees our freedom
is the Second Amendment. These are the same conservatives who
seem to think that if it weren't for a gun ownership,
we wouldn't be a free people. It's not gun ownership
that keeps us free. It's the rule of law. And

(01:06:53):
by the way, whenever people do use guns for political reasons,
we condemn it. They're going to say that, do you
give them stock? It's gonna be a slippery slope. I
certainly hope so, But I don't think bump stock should
be a substitute for the background check. And by the way,
the background check is a compromise. There are many more
things members want to do, and we're saying, how do

(01:07:15):
we save the most lives. We saved the most lives
with the background check, So we just have to have
that fight. But the American people have to weigh in,
as they did to fight the monstrosities of healthcare bills
that the Republicans who are proposing all right, news roundup
and information overload our here on the Sean Hannity Show.
And of course that's Nancy Pelosi, you know, hoping the

(01:07:38):
bump stock ban is the slippery slope to full and
complete gun control. Then you've got Brett Stevens, by the way,
he is the New York Times conservative wanting to abolish
the constitution. Just side note, is sounding like Michael Moore.
Only the New York Times would label such a person
the the conservative of that particular basttion. Anyway, joinings. Jeffrey

(01:08:00):
Lord is former Associate political director and the Reagular Administration
author columnist, and he wrote the book What America Needs
The Case for Donald Trump. Also, Leslie Marshall is with Us,
hosted a Leslie Marshall Show, and a Fox News contributor. Um, well,
you're at least happy with the n r A m
bump stocks, Leslie, or do you think the n r
A is evil and the Second Amendment should be abolished?

(01:08:23):
I have never thought the Second Amendment should be abolished.
I love our Constitution, and I love that you have
a gun, Shawn, and that you have the right to it.
I have to say I almost fainted because it's certainly
a cold day. And hell in the n R I
and n ra A and I agree on something with
them backing these new regulations on the rapid fire gun
bump stocks. I don't just agree with them there. But
in looking at the Constitution, as you know, even like

(01:08:45):
the Bible, there are different interpretations to the text. And
I don't see in the second Amendment um that the
government who has a the first job of Donald Trump,
any president, is to keep you and I safe, to
keep America safe and Mary can safe. And if we
are safer because somebody restricts how many guns you own,
they're not taking away your ability to own a gun.

(01:09:07):
But if somebody is stockpiling a lot of guns, you
what is the purpose of that that people that person
is either paranoid shan or what about people? What about
people that like to collect I don't want to take
that chance. Well, you know, what about people that like
to collect guns? What about people that like to own

(01:09:28):
them and use them in varying situation? What if it's
their sport? And as part of the story ignorance on this,
I don't know if they track ammunition, but I have
my best friend's husband collection gun is no good without
any bullets because a minute. But if you know, no,
that's not true. If you're a collector, it's not true
because if you're a collector, But if you're you don't

(01:09:50):
need the ammunition. All right. Some people play golf, but
I have a lot of friends that like to go hunting,
and I have friends that go target shooting pretty much
every weekend, and they run through a lot of rounds.
So we're going to find out there using a lot
of rounds, and the FBI is going to pay a
visit to their house and say, excuse me, excuse me,
you have one thousand rounds that you've purchased in the
last month. We want to know if you're going to

(01:10:10):
go on a mass shooting. Jeffrey Lord, what's your taking
that is? I mean, you're you're being humorous, but that
is more or less what this would come down to.
And let me just broaden this for a second here, Sean.
I've written a couple of columns on this, once this
last week after Las Vegas and once after an earlier
mass shooting. When everybody says, well, we have to have

(01:10:31):
the discussion, we have to have the discussion. Well, okay,
Let's have the discussion. How in the world and a culture,
if a culture does not value life, do we get
into this situation? We get into this situation, I would suggest,
and perhaps we need to finally have the conversation about abortion.
Now Nancy Pelosi is concerned about preventing many deaths. How

(01:10:51):
many millions of babies have lost their lives here because
of a quote unquote right the choice that was written
by the Supreme Court out of thin air. If we
have a culture that disrespects human life and teaches people
to have disrespect for human life, how else are we
going to wind up then we did with this guy
in Las Vegas who had no respect for human life.

(01:11:12):
And that question, there's something That question is something that
liberals never gonna want to discuss. And Jeff makes a
good point. If we're going to have the discussions, let's
have them. But Sean, what I just heard from Jeff,
Lord is God is love. Love is blind. Ray Charles
is blind. Therefore Ray Charles is God. Um No, I

(01:11:32):
don't can that makes zero sense? Can you explain that
to you? It is not in the constitution. It's a
Supreme Court decision in nineteen seventy three, And I don't
think you compare a Supreme Court decision to a constitutional amendment,
which the Second Amendment is. One could also argue Jeffrey that,
and I don't want to sound disgusting, but had that
man not been born, those fifty nine people would not

(01:11:53):
have been shot. Do you understand the slippery slope we
can go on with this discussion? Is thinking are you
serious for that statement? Is how we killed? If you
weren't born? How are we going from those people that
are in the hospital right now in Vegas to a
woman's right to choose? How are we going from the born?

(01:12:14):
The point Jeffrey's making let me let me sum it
up for you. What he was saying and suggesting to you,
if you got us point was that every life matters,
and so does the life that is growing inside the
womb of a mother. That was the point he was making.
And if you teach disrespect for life, which is what
I looked this up, Sean, and at least as far
as I could discover, there were eight years of mass

(01:12:35):
shootings between nineteen nine in nineteen seventy two. Roversus Wade
came in nineteen seventy three, and we've had many, many, many,
many more than eight years of it since, and I
would suggest that perhaps we need to carefully reflect about
what we're teaching kids out there and what this guy's
thought of the value of human life, which obviously was

(01:12:57):
not yet if what if you had found out because
some people, as you know, are very uh you know,
they're religious whackos, right and regardless of the religion and
they but yet they would be pro life. I'm saying,
just because somebody kills people doesn't mean that if you
would ask them prior to the shooting, and and if
in fact an individual snaps and does something like this,
it doesn't mean that they wouldn't have said, oh, I'm

(01:13:19):
against abortion, and then go down and and then go down,
gun down people. All I'm saying is that if we
have a culture that doesn't value human life, people pick
up on it. That's what I'm I don't know, but
you know why, I I think it's terrible to even Jeff. Look,
there's no way and I don't think Americans are overall,

(01:13:39):
uh don't value human life. And I don't think we
can all be grouped in a basket with individuals who
go out and take the lives of others as that
man in Vegas did, and other massacres terrorist attacks that
we have witnessed here and throughout the world. I think,
for the most part, human beings are good, and we
see that in times like this because there are people

(01:14:01):
who like police officers, military mothers looking to their children
running toward gunfire. Um. You know, we see, we see
the value for human life and when we have crises
like this. Sure, but I'm just suggesting the overall culture.
You look at Hollywood and let let's let's predn this
a little further here to Harvey Weinstein. I mean, here
are all these liberals lecturing everybody else on sexual harassment.

(01:14:23):
Ever when there's someone in their myths and you had
to you had to believe they all knew this stuff
for you. And I mean it's there. It's their values,
that's double standards, it's the whole nine yards. It's all
connected in its own strange fashion. The sweeping generalizations are
killing me. And let me tell you why. One I'm
standing twenty minutes from Hollywood, um here at my office

(01:14:45):
in Los Angeles, in my studio to m although I've
never met him, I've been on TV and film outside
of what I do acting, even as a talk show
host in film. I've never met him. I'm quote, I've
been a part of the industry, no knowledge of that.
And let me tell you something. There are there are
men that are sexually harassed me throughout my career, and

(01:15:06):
you probably don't know all of their names. That the
idea that all people in an industry, or all people
in a geographical location, people of a certain gender, which
just California is extremely liberal. It's not all, but many.
I mean, obviously, look at the government you you put
in place out there. Liberals don't agree with sexual harassment.

(01:15:26):
Nobody does. I think that's an agreement that we can
all make. Nobody nobody suggested that, Nobody said that. Nobody
would say that. Now let's go back with the only Jeff,
I'll let you make your own point. Why am I
making your point? I'm just saying that all of these
things connected in their own way in terms of how
we live and work as a society, and that we

(01:15:48):
have to have more respect for human life and teach
it openly and not be embarrassed to do it or
not think that this is some religiously crazy, wacko thing.
If we have more respect for human life. We will
get less gun, will get less of these massacres out there.
It's not about the gun, it's about trigger. When we

(01:16:09):
come back. Will continue more with Jeffrey Lord and of
course our liberal friend Leslie Marshall. At the bottom of
this half hour. I got to meet this kid yesterday.
He's the one that met the president, was shot in
the leg. I'll always stand for my country, for my president.
Met him um an incredible young man, Thomas Gunderson, and
his mom will be with us too. Not the best

(01:16:29):
call to get if you're a parent. Not going to
get deep into it again tonight. I said what I
had to say last night. But I do want to
say something. These nuts who spent most of the day
today on television online attacking those of us who think
we need to do something about the fact that fifty
nine innocent people were killed, and they say it's inappropriate
to be talking about it because it's too soon. Well,

(01:16:50):
maybe it's too soon for you, because deep down inside
you know in your heart, you know you bear some
responsibility for the fact that almost anyone can get any
weapon they want. Now you want to cover yourself until
the storm of outrage passes, you can go back to
your dirty business as usual. But it's not too soon
for us because we're Americans. And last time I checked,
the First Amendment is at least as important as the

(01:17:11):
Second Amendment. So there's Jimmy Kimmel again. Oh, you must
pare some responsibility for the shootings. Jimmy, No, that's not true.
And I'd like an answer, Jimmy, how many guys uh
do you have in your studio on any given night
and how many of them may be armed? Just curious
with all the crowds that that might throw themselves on

(01:17:33):
you during the course of the taping of your show. Anyway,
we continue with Leslie Marshall and Jeffrey Lord. Comes down
to this question, God forbid, Leslie, somebody breaks into your house,
God forbid anybody's house, and that person wants to rob, rape, steal,
and maybe kill. What do you do, well, Sean, I'm
I'm very much against guns, and there are statistics that shot.

(01:17:54):
I don't want the statistics stop stop. I'm not interested
in the argument. What are you gonna do? God forbid
it happens tonight. How are you How would you defend
yourself and your family? I've made it very difficult, um one,
because of what we do for a living. What do
you do if somebody breaks it would be you're missing

(01:18:15):
the point if if somebody get you can security system.
But but you're not answering the question because for the
average person, they might have a security system, but they
don't live on acres and acres of land and somebody
this happens every day, and I just want to know
for their sake, what what does somebody do if somebody
breaks into your house and wants to rape Robin Steele?

(01:18:37):
What do you do? Told you before that we do
have a place, a hidden place in our house to
be safe. It's not like a safe room in the
movies by any means. And you know we wouldn't have
the money to go to safe room. What about the
people that can't afford a safe room? What do they do?
It's not I can't afford. This wasn't an expensive thing
that it was just so you're saying everybody should get
a safe room. That happened to have a hidden place

(01:18:58):
somewhere in my home. That is now let's say the
hidden places down in someone's basement and you're upstairs when
the people break into the house. What do you do then, Well,
you always have an escape route, don't you. So what
are you gonna do? Jump out the window? Well, if
if I have to, I mean, I'm gonna I'm gonna
fight for my life. But I'm not going to I'm
not gonna tell I'll tell you what. Look you, Sean,

(01:19:19):
you can prevent. You can say I will smoke and
if I get cancer, deal with it, Dan, And you
can say I won't smoke. I'm doing preventative measures so
the person can't break in. Cat give it the bottom line, somebody,
if they break in, what Sean wants me to say
is I'm screwed that I get my brains blown up.
But I'm not gonna say that. I'm gonna fight my life.
And there are other weapons I can use, like world
or not just about you, Leslie, or just about me

(01:19:40):
or just about but you ask, it's about the common
men they break into. Mind coin is the average man
and woman should have the right to defend themselves. Said
they don't have the right to defend I don't think
you need to keep you put your finger on this
exactly with that, Jimmy Kimmel, all three of us have
spent time in the media. And and when I say

(01:20:00):
in the media, I mean going into physical buildings where
the television cameras are, where the bureaus are, etcetera. You
don't get past people in that thing without these people
having armed guards right there in the lobby, in the lobby.
And furthermore, you have to produce I D. That which
gets us over in the voter I D. And all
this kind of thing. Every time you show up at

(01:20:21):
these places. We've been to the Democratic and Republican conventions
this summer, they were armed, armed guards everywhere. These actors,
these rich celebrities who live behind these gated communities, and
when they go to work, they're protected by armed guards.
Are are looking everybody else in the I and say,
well for me, but not for THEE. That's the problem.
That's one of the problems here. And you'll put your
finger on it exactly all right. I'm gonna have to

(01:20:44):
leave it there, Leslie, thank you, Jeff Lord, thank you.
Eight nine one Sean. When you when we come back,
you're gonna meet Thomas Gunderson. His video when viral when
he met President Trump shot in the leg. He says,
I will stand for my president will play, You'll introduce
will introduce you to him, and much more as we
continue Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.

(01:21:04):
As we continue alright now till at the top of
the hour, toll free telephone number is eight hundred nine
four one, Shawn. If you want to be a part
of the program, you know, UM, under the worst circumstances,
you get to see some of the best in people.
I got to meet incredible people this week. I got
to meet those policemen involved in taking this guy out,
the shooter out. I got to meet the surgeons that

(01:21:28):
saved hundreds of lives. UM. I got to meet the
heroes that literally we're helping, you know, their fellow man
in a time of trouble. You know, this young girl
that had had cancer and didn't have the ability in
the strength to to just run as she needed to
run to get away from the shooting. No problem because
there are you know, policemen there, and there are people

(01:21:49):
of just with great hearts and courage that picked her
up and took her to safety. Incredible, just amazing moments
that came out of this. As we were leaving the
day before, had Jones came by and of course you
didn't have a shirt big enough for me Vegas Strong,
which I know has gone viral on Twitter and some
other places, and I know that members of my staff

(01:22:10):
were really proud to have that that T shirt. Um Ethan,
who works for us, he's a low man on the
totem pole here, He's only been here a couple of years,
and we rub it in every single day. Um Ethan
did an amazing job today and he put together a
montage of some of these heroic stories that I want
you to hear. And when you hear this, I want
you to think of it through the prism of you

(01:22:31):
know what Sunday's coming up, in the NFL's coming up.
I wonder how many guys are gonna kneel this weekend
because there's such goodness and greatness in this country and
the freedom which they have. They can take a knee
if they want. Okay, that freedom exists. But there are
a lot of people that fought, bled and died fighting
for the flag in the of course what this country represents.

(01:22:51):
We saw heroism on display when the shooting went down
in Las Vegas, and I want to come out with
that moment. An hour before the shooting at actually took place.
Big and rich were on stage, and they got the
whole crowd, only thirty thousand people to put up their
their phones and their lights and together, not as Republicans
or Democrats, together, not as liberals are conservatives, but together

(01:23:13):
they sang God bless America. Not like the Church of
g d America. I don't want you to mistake it
to you know, the Church of Jeremiah. Right. Anyway, we
want I want you to listen to this, and I
want you to think just how great this country is
and how great it's people are. He went back because
I'm a nurse and I just felt that I had to,

(01:23:36):
so I went to three different scenes. There were so
many people, just normal citizens, doctors, cops, paramedics, like nurses,
just off duty. Everyone's just communicating and working together. It
was it was completely horrible, but it was absolutely amazing
to see all people come together. Most people started scattering
in a client defense, but I had to stay with

(01:23:58):
my buddies there. So we got him over the fence
once the fires stopped, and split him under his stage.
So we were saying, I mean, I would have meant
my life because um from the moment I got hit. Um.
He was the first one to actually helped me stopped bleeding. Um.
He never left my side at all, and I remember

(01:24:20):
getting him helping me get in the back of a
pickup truck, a red pickup truck with another young lady
that had a gunshot wound. And I don't want to die.
I don't want to die. He kept saying, you're not
gonna die. I got you look at me. They're not
gonna die. Uh. He even said it as they took
me out and put me onto the onto the concrete
in front of a patrol car, that I wasn't gonna die.

(01:24:41):
We even talked about the monk where he actually put
his finger inside the wound just to stop it. It's
stuff like that. I won't I won't forget all my life.
So I filled with a bunch of white trucks. I
tested my luck to see if any of them had
keys in it, and the first one that we tried
opening had keyson right there. And started looking through people
that take to the hospital. There was just too many

(01:25:03):
and his overwhelming, how much blood was everywhere. Once we
dropped him off, We're like, well, let's go back for
round two and go get some more. I transported probably
people injured to the hospital. People hitting the floor, people
were running. Myself and a feel mother partners. We were
trying to help people keep low instead of standing up
while the friend was going on. One gentleman unfortunately happened

(01:25:27):
to get shot and to the patients that he was with,
helped carry him to E M T and E m
U S. He was out, and myself and a few
other security guards, some other civilians we all gave hands
help and transport bodies. There was a lot of people
to have shot unforcing the leaf. Gamy mccasselin and Crystal
Goddard were shielded from bullets from a man they had
never met. He was shot as he held them, bleeding

(01:25:48):
on the mccasslyn shirt. We were getting away and uh,
I just we came across it. He was in the
bed of a pickup truck. Uh, there's a belt, make
sure of turning kit. It was kind of around his knee. Uh,
completely wrong spot. And I just walked up there and
he was actively bleeding. Adjusted the belt, got it up

(01:26:10):
where it should be, tightened it down. We stopped the bleeding.
I think we hung out there for ten fifteen minutes
and uh, some some shavior in a pickup truck came in,
Do we need a ride? Said yeah. We threw them
all in the bed of the truck and we took
off to the hospital as a sigourney in the tables
and we're inside as whereas Bourneys as well, they were

(01:26:32):
using everything we can't. We're using the rails between the
part parsons in between. We're carrying bodies out with that
as well. So I was just trying to get bodies inside,
to pull them outside so we can do some kind
of triage. So we saw two patients at Sunrise Hospital. Um,
most of them came in probably within the first hour,
hour and a half. I mean, the job that our

(01:26:52):
staff did, h physicians, nurses, volunteers, ancillary staff. It's just
absolutely amazing the response that we got. We had a
hundred physicians show up that night after they were called.
We had a hundred nurses. People we're telling me just leave,
they'll come back for the survivors. And I was like,
I'm on leading in. Thank god. Yeah, that was one

(01:28:28):
hour before the shooting took place. We still need a
lot of answers. We'll have an update on everything tonight
on Hannity Turn on the Fox News Channel. The first responders,
neighbor helping neighbor, the police, the fireman, the doctors that
I met yesterday, the nurses I met met yesterday. Incredible.
I also met an incredible young man that was one

(01:28:50):
of the injured. His the video of him meeting President
Trump has gone viral, and um, he just an incredible
young kid. His name is Thomas gunders In and he
stood for the President and first lady, and then he
wrote on Facebook, I will never lie down when the
president of this great country comes to shake my hand.
There may be plenty of issues in this country, but

(01:29:12):
I will always respect my country, my president, my flag,
shot in the leg or not. I will stand to
show my president the respect he deserves. Thomas Gunderson joins us, Now,
how are you feeling today? I'm doing good. How are
you doing? Shot? I really enjoyed meeting you. I gotta
tell you. So, we do the interview yesterday, we run
it last night on TV. I can't even begin to

(01:29:33):
tell you what the reaction has been in terms of
my audience. It is. It really has impacted people very
very deeply, and I'm just curious in your ine. What
was the reaction you got? Honestly, it's it's been pretty amazing.
It really has been a whole lot of love and
everybody messaging me and saying they saw it and just
respecting me for the message that I am trying to

(01:29:54):
get out there, and that makes me feel h It
makes me feel good because I am trying to spread,
you know, a good message. Uh you know, juxtapose what
I just read that you put on Facebook, would say
the NFL. I mean, doesn't it make you like wonder?
I mean, no, We're not a perfect country. We're not
a perfect people. All of us has sinned and volume short,

(01:30:14):
I don't know if you're religious or not. And I'm
just like thinking, wow, there's so much good that we saw.
I'm you know, when I was at the hospital with you, Um,
I met the girl that was shot next stor to you.
What a one she's from New I think she's from
New Jersey. What she goes to pepper Dune, you know, great, great,
great kid and all these other people. And then I
met all the nurses and doctors and by the way,

(01:30:35):
it's kind of weird them wanting my picture because I'm like,
I want your picture, because you're the ones that save
lives every day. Um. You know, everybody I met, you know,
they all and I kept saying to them, you must
be so proud of what you've been able to do. Here.
Tell us your experience. What was happening that night? You're
at the concert an hour before Big and Richard singing,
God was America. Then this thing goes down. Tell us

(01:30:57):
what happened? You know, I just wanted to say that
that montage you guys but together, just proves what I
was telling you. There's so many amazing stories that I
keep hearing over and over again, and I'm trying to
spread those. You know, that experience well being horrific. You
can just see the good in man that is coming
out of this, um my experience, and there was just
seeing so many people come together to help the fellow man,

(01:31:20):
no matter who you were, who you look like, what
you look like, nothing, you know, it didn't matter. Um
you didn't see that in that moment. You know, you're
just trying to help. And uh it honestly, I just
you know, speaking to the NFL stuff, you know, I
get it. I I That's why I said there are
issues in this country. And they have that right. You know,
for me, it doesn't quite make sense to protest in

(01:31:40):
that way. I mean, I think there are better ways
to go about it, and I think that is my
goal right now. Um. I wasn't. I didn't ask for
this stage. Um. You know, I feel like I was
given this opportunity right now. And I feel like we
can all hear each other, um through positivity without bashing
each other and yelling at each other. You know, uh,
we can take good it out of what just happened.

(01:32:01):
You know, it is surprising. Look, I make my living
doing political information, news and debate, and and I it's
very predictable. I've got to tell you, because I've been
doing this now, believe it or not. I start my
twenty three year on the Fox News channel today, and
so I'm not surprised when politics rears its ugly head.
But the speed of which had happened in this case,

(01:32:21):
what was your reaction of that? I don't have a
reaction to it right now, And honestly, I mean, I
trust me. I don't like it. I don't like hearing it,
but I feel that we can't give into that. I
feel that we uh we we turn you know we
turn a blind eye to that. We keep spreading this
message and keep showing love, and UM, let them do
that part of it. But to me, that only makes

(01:32:42):
them look worse. Um. You know, anybody posting those things
and saying those things, that makes them look bad. And
so if we respond in a negative way, if we respond,
you know, in anger or hate, then we're just doing
the same thing. So UM, we need to continue to
just spread love and and come together through this tragedy,
which I totally believe we can do, and so far

(01:33:04):
it's happened. I may be getting some negative comments in
some backlash, but I can tell you that it is
just pure love. Even even from people who hate Trump
or support whoever else or you know, are from the left,
they have been so showing me a lot of support
as well. And that's what I love. When the President,
well I saw the first lady walked in the door first,
and then the President came in. Um, that happened to

(01:33:26):
be a little surreal for you. It was, honestly was
the greatest honor of my life. Uh. You know, it's
tough that I came through this situation, but I feel
just so incredibly blessed I I don't know how else
to say that. I feel so blessed to be here.
There's so many worse situations. You are really standing for Malani.
You weren't standing for the president. You can be honest
on this program. By the way, the ones that I

(01:33:49):
can say this to you is because I've met you
and I know you have a great sense of humor.
I loved your parents too, by the way. They were
wonderful people. They are They're good people, and they were
excited to meet them as well. And they're so grateful
that they stopped by and they were so kind to
me on the first lady in the President they were
so kind of me and so sweet, and they didn't
you know, he didn't come in there just to to

(01:34:10):
talk mine you off. He came in there to listen
to me and and and be there for me and
tell me whatever I need. You know that he's there
for me. You know. It is a reassuring thing. And
you know that somebody takes time out of their day.
You said something to me when you wore shot. You
you knew you were shot, but you didn't know you
were shot. You didn't even the pain didn't immediately kick
in but by the way, that's I've heard that from

(01:34:31):
soldiers before. That's not unusual. Yeah, I mean I didn't
know obviously, I didn't know what to expect or whatnot.
I didn't start to get shot right now. But when
I did get hit, Um, I did. I hit the
ground immediately. And it's weird, you know, you got hit.
It's a weird feeling, you know, because you feel the
pressure and but you don't feel the pain. It's it's

(01:34:51):
your adrenaline just takes over. And I saw the blood
and I saw all of that. But you know, you
never know how you're going to react, right, But I
just I was somehow able to day calm and just
you know, if I didn't, it could have ended a
lot worse. Yeah. Well, listen, it was an honor for
me to get to meet you. It's amazing how the
country has reacted to you in your story in this

(01:35:13):
meeting with the President. It was an honor to meet
your parents. They're wonderful people. And I can see where
you got your good looks from. It's definitely your mom um. Uh.
But you don't know, you have an amazing future. Um,
incredible character, and as they told them, they've They've got
to be so proud of you, and for me, it
was an honor to meet you. All right, Tom, listen,
