tv   Hannity  FOX News  August 1, 2016 7:00pm-8:01pm PDT

7:00 pm
we are getting lots of feedback on the trump/khan family controversy. if you have thoughts on it, go to facebook.com/the kelly file. follow me on twitter @megyn kelly. thanks for watching. i'm megyn kelly. welcome to "hannity," and tonight the 2016 national conventions are now officially in the books. the polls are extremely tight, and we are only 98 days away from election day. joining us now is the republican nominee for president, donald trump. mr. trump, good to see you, sir. >> thank you, sean. >> i saw big crowds at both events you had today. the real clear politics average is dead even. the l.a. times tracking poll had you beating hillary every day but one for the month of july. i'm sure you're probably mad about that one day if you know
7:01 pm
you well. the state of the race, how do you feel it's going? >> well, i feel really good. i'm in harrisburg, pennsylvania, right now, and we have thousands of people outside. they can't even get them in. we have a big venue. there are two rooms that are full, and we must have 12,000, 13,000 people, more than that. as soon as i'm finished with you, i'm going to go outside, plunge into the group and say hello to them. but we have thousands of people who won't be able to get in tonight, so there's something going on. hillary was here recently, and she had almost nobody. i think that's a good sign. i don't know what it means, but i think it's a good sign. >> do you know that the same media that is obsessed with this mr. khan and his son, and he spoke at the dnc, et cetera, i want to go through this issue if i can slowly with you. you did call this man's son a hero, did you not? >> yes, i did. absolutely. whenever you have the goal star fami -- gold star families, whenever you have what you and i have discussed in the past, these are great people, great families. >> when you talk about refugees
7:02 pm
or illegal immigration, you're not talking about people like the khans. for example, james clapper, our national director of intelligence, our cia director, our fbi director, assistant fbi director, our chairman of the house homeland security committee, and even general john allen, they have all warned us that the refugees that obama is taking in and hillary wants a 550% increase, that that refugee population will be infiltrated. so are you clear that you are not talking about the khans. you are talking about what these people are saying? >> no, i'm not talking about the khans. i'm not talking about a lot of peopleme people. i'm talking about people coming over here from syria that aren't properly vetted. they're in the migration. nobody knows if they're isis. they're being put all over the country. hillary wants a 550% increase over what obama is bringing in. obama is bringing them in by the thousands, and she wants to bring them in 550% more.
7:03 pm
i think it's insane. now, i also think what we should do is build safe zones over in syria, have the gulf states pay for it. they've got plenty of money. they're not doing their job right now. they've got a lot of money, and we'll run it or manage it or do whatever you want. but absolutely, i mean we can't let more people come in. you look at what happened with san bernardino and all of the different -- orlando, and then you go over to nice and you know what's just happened. we can't do this. there's something going on, and it's bad. it's really bad. we can't be in the same position as france. you look at what's going on in france, it's insane. and we don't want to be in the same position as france and germany, which is now crime-ridden. take a look at what's going on in germany with all of the -- you know, the migrants that came in. and we can't do that, sean. we have to get back to rebuilding our country, rebuild our infrastructure, create jobs, take jobs away from mexico and all these countries that are taking our jobs. that's why in harrisburg today,
7:04 pm
i have this massive group of people, because they want their jobs back. i flew over harrisburg, pennsylvania, and you look at all the empty factories from years gone by where there used to be just flourishing, and now they're all gone. >> you know, isis is involved in an attack every 84 hours. that came out last week. we know in the u.s. from our fbi director that all 50 states, there's over 1,000 isis investigations going on in the country. it sounds like the media wants one narrative. you're talking about protecting the homeland. and i want to ask why do you think mr. khan is going after you when you talk about specifically people coming from countries that practice sharia, which discriminate against christians and jews and women and gays and lesbians, and whose values under sharia are the antithesis of our constitutional values, and hillary voted for the war and voted to pull out early? why do you think you're being
7:05 pm
targeted? >> well, i have no idea, but i watched him at the democratic national convention, and he was really going after me. there's no question about it. and i watched, and it's fine. i mean i guess it's part of my life. i can say this. if i was president, because his son died 12 years ago. if i were president, his son wouldn't have died because i wouldn't have been in the war if i was president back then. there would have been no war for iraq, i can tell you that, because i think it's ridiculous, the whole thing. to be in that war was, as you know, ever since i've known you, i've been against that war. >> and you were also against pulling out early. you said once we were there, we had to finish the job. >> that is -- by the way, that's true. they pulled out, and they lost it, and they gave it up to isis, and they gave it up to a lot of other people. but i wouldn't have been in the war. we would have had no war with iraq. iraq would have been right now fighting as they have been forever. they would have right now been fighting. they'd be in the middle of fighting iran again for another five-year spurt, and they'd be
7:06 pm
moving nowhere. >> let me ask you this. i was watching you with george stephanopoulos. by the way, george stephanopoulos worked for the clintons. george stephanopoulos donated to the clinton foundation. he's been on record talking about hillary's temperament and how fierce her anger is. he seems to forget that. and, you know, he asked you the question what have you sacrificed? let me ask this question. what have the clintons sacrificed if we're going to ask everybody that question? have they sacrificed, or have they enriched themselves? >> well, they haven't sacrificed very much, but, you know, they've worked hard. i talked about what i did. by the way, i thought that george stephanopoulos gave a fair interview. i didn't see anything wrong with the interview. i think it was misinterpreted. for instance, we talked about the ukraine, and i said, look, essentially if i'm president, they're not going in. russia is not going into the ukraine. he said, tell me, though, and some of the newspapers -- actually some covered it very well and very accurate, most of them. but some of them said, oh, therefore, trump didn't know about crimea being taken a
7:07 pm
couple years before. of course i knew about that. but that's gone. crimea is gone. they took that during obama's administration. you know, obama says that well, trump might be friendly with putin. which i'm not. i don't know putin. but they're coming up with this narrative like i'd be weak with putin. well, he's the one during his term that the -- you know, crimea was gone. that was during his term. right now it's a mess over there also in terms of ukraine. but i said that, and so many people tried to misinterpret it. but i will say this. a lot of the press, a lot of media said it right. and of course what i meant and what i think was very clear -- and i think george stephanopoulos would say that because i discussed it with him -- is we -- if i was president, they're not going in. believe me, they're not going into so that was very simple. >> let me ask this. as far as crimea, though, they've been there for two years. that's already -- >> i guess you could say that's basically gone, at least right now. >> it's interesting. a friend of mine sent me this, and he googled pat smith and
7:08 pm
benghazi on google. 384,000 hits. if you google the name khan and trump, you get 491,000 hits. if that's right, that in five days this whole issue with the media, he's getting more media coverage in five days than pat smith, who by the way hillary clinton suggested, well, may not fully recall, but it pat smith. it was also charless woods, that she lied to them when their sons' bodies were laying next to them. more coverage from the media. is this now -- you just have to accept the media is going to be an extension of the hillary press offense? >> well, the media is very unfair. they're very biased. you look at cnn, and you look at "the new york times." i mean i call it the failing "new york times" because it won't be in business for another probably more than a few years unless somebody goes in and buys it and wants to lose a lot of money. but "the new york times" is so unfair. they write three, four articles about me a day. no matter how good i do on something, they'll never write good. they have people over there like
7:09 pm
maggie haberman and others that don't know how to write good. i guess if they did, they're certainly not doing it. but "the new york times" is just absolutely a disaster. >> let me ask one other thing. >> "the washington post" has been very tough although i must say, washington post -- >> they gave her four pinocchios. >> that was shocking. >> 6,877 syrian refugees have arrived through july 31st. of the 6877, 6834 happen to be either sunni, shia, or generic muslim, and yet we have genocide against christians in syria and elsewhere. are we then therefore discriminating based on religion? >> yeah, well, in my opinion they are. but we don't care of the christians. we are very -- you know, before the migration, a friend of mine who was very, very well versed on all of this said, you come from syria. if you're muslim, it's one of the easiest places to come into the united states from. if you're christian, it's impossible, virtually impossible to come into the united states.
7:10 pm
very unfair. and the christians are the ones that really are -- look, everybody is going through hell over there. but the christians are going through more than anybody with the beheadings and everything else. but in all fairness, it's a hell hole. >> all right. we got to -- >> but i would say if you're christian, it was very, very hard to get tiny this country. >> we'll take a break. we'll have more donald trump right after this. plus, tonight, peter sha weitzer has put out a damning new report. it has to do with the clintons, the russians, america's security, and a whole lot more. he's here to explain that and more. you both have a
7:11 pm
perfect driving record. perfect. no tickets, no accidents... that is until one of you clips a food truck ruining your perfect record. yeah. now you would think your insurance company would cut you some slack, right? no, your insurance rates go through the roof. your perfect record doesn't get you anything. anything. perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty stands with you. liberty mutual insurance. 80% but up to 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day women's 50+ complete multivitamin. with vitamin d and calcium to help support bone health. one a day.
7:12 pm
7:13 pm
live from america's news headquarters, i'm kelly wright. good evening. federal health officials are now taking unprecedented steps to protect u.s. from the zika virus. they're warning pregnant women to stay away from miami's windwood arch district. that's because 14 people who recently contracted the virus are believed to have been infected in that neighborhood. the cdc is urging expectant moms to get tested if they were there since mid-june. zika, which is usually spread by mosquitos, has been linked to severe birth defects. in what may be the start of a major military campaign, american warplanes have launched strikes against isis targets in the libyan port city of sirte, which is a stronghold for muslim extremists, and the casualties are said to be significant. the pentagon says the air strikes were conducted at the request of libya's u.n. backed
7:14 pm
government. the leaders say no u.s. forces will be deployed. i'm kelly wright. welcome back to "hannity." as we continue with 2016 republican presidential nominee donald trump, interesting she suggested -- hillary clinton, that pat smith was lying. let's go to the issue ofver asity of the hillary clinton. this was on the fox news sunday interview. let's roll that tape. >> fbi director james comey said none of those things that you told the american public were true. >> chris, that's not what i heard director comey say. director comey says that my answers were truthful and what i've said is consistent with what i have told the american people. >> so once she's suggests that pat smith and charles woods were lying about what she said to them about what happened in benghazi, then she makes this claim. but i happen to have the interview with james comey. let me play it for you. >> secretary clinton said there
tv-commercial
7:15 pm
was nothing marked classified on her e-mails either sent or received. was that true? >> that's not true. there were a small number of portion parkinmarkings on threee documents. >> secretary clinton said i did not e-mail any classified material to -- >> there was classified material e-mailed. >> secretary clinton said all work-related e-mails were returned to the state department. was that true? >> no. we found work-related e-mails, thousands, that were not returned. >> secretary clinton said her lawyers read every one of the e-mails and were overly inclusive. did her lawyers read the e-mail content individually? >> no. >> now, "the washington post," not a friend of yours, i don't think, by any stretch, they gave four pinocchios. and although comey did say many e-mails were retroactively classified, he also said there were some e-mails that were already classified that should not have been sent on an unclassified private server.
7:16 pm
that's the uncomfortable true that clinton has trouble admitting. she lied to the parents -- >> she lies a lot. >> what's your reaction? >> she lied about a lot of thing. well, she lied about a lot of things. she's now lying about jobs, and she's lying that she's going to be the agent of change. she's not going to change. she's been there for 30 years. you look at this place, i mean honestly i fly over these cities, and i land, and i see these factories. i fly over them, and i see them. and one after another, sean, it's so depressing when you go to harrisburg, pennsylvania, when you go to different places in ohio, when you go to upstate new york, and anywhere you go. i mean it's like we're a war zone. these are factories that you could see 20, 25 years ago were vibrant, and now those companies have all moved out of our country, and they're in mexico and other places. and she's lying about that. she's not going to do anything about it. >> we now have the lowest homeownership rate in 51 years now in america. the worst recovery now since the
7:17 pm
1940s. the lowest labor participation rate since the '70s. we have 1.2% growth, and this president has accumulated more debt than every other president before him combined. and she said she's going to continue this? >> she's going to be another four years of obama, in my opinion worse. remember the supreme court justices, she will appoint justices that will make our country venezuela. it will be over. you know, as you know, i have 11 people that are going to be outstanding. they've been -- just received rave reviews, and i think it's one of the post-important things. defense is also the most important thing. but beyond that, because our military is totally depleted. i mean we have to rebuild our military. we have to do a lot of things, sean. we're way, way behind. we also have to do our infrastructure. you drive on some of these highways, you hit potholes every 250 yards. i mean what's going on in this country is incredible. we're spending trillions and trillions of dollars, and we
7:18 pm
don't know what we're doing. we don't know where we're spending it, and it's got to stop, sean. we have to rebuild our countries. we have to get jobs. we're going to bring our jobs back from all of these countries that have taken our job. we're going to lower taxes. hillary is going to raise taxes substantially. i'm lowering tax. >> we're the highest taxed nation in the world. >> we're going to lower taxes under my plan, and larry custody l -- kudlow. >> the repatriated money, which is trillions, that and i think become energy independent alone would create millions of jobs. >> 2.5 tri$2.5 trillion. >> i watched hillary's speech and i kind of viewed it as a check list, sort of cliches and platitudes and slogans, not a lot of specifics. and a lot of things happened. uniformed police officers not on the floor of the convention. you have general john allen
7:19 pm
interrupted, chanting "no more war" when he said that america would defeat isis. the audience interrupted a medal of honor recipient, and also the embracing of black lives matter and that organization, a group that had chanted, what do we want, dead cops. when do we want them? now. hillary is seeking counsel from them. your reaction to some of those events? >> well, i thought it was terrible, and they also didn't show when bernie sanders people all walked out of the arena. they didn't show that. if that happens with the republicans, it would have been a scandal. when they showed bernie sanders while she was speaking, it looked like the guy was very, very angry and tired, and he wants to go home. i mean he just wants to go home. bernie sanders really hurt his legacy. if he would have not made a deal, his legacy would have been amazing. i have so many people, they call me their -- you know, they like bernie, and honestly they are so disappointed. they were so disappointed with what he did.
7:20 pm
and they're not going to go for hillary clinton. we're going to get a lot more bernie sanders people than anybody would believe because on trade, we agree. now, i can do something about it and make great deals, but on trade he understands this country is getting ripped offmeoff. >> final question. i just gave you all the economic evidence. 51-year low, homeownership rate. really bad economic statistics. some observers -- well, at your convention, you were being dark, and she was giving her check list, and i'm wondering, okay, they can't say radical islam. they're not talking about the real state of the economy with the worst statistics, worst that we've ever accumulated. they don't have a real plan to deal with open borders, the impact on security and job creation, or crime or any of these other issues. and when you compare the two conventions, how do you analyze it? >> well, i think my speech was very optimistic. i talk about the problems, whether it's police being shot like never before at record numbers. it's horrible when you look at
quote
7:21 pm
it. i never realized how dangerous that job is. i love the police. and i love law and order. they don't talk about law and order. i mean they didn't even have an american flag up on the dais, and then it was two days and we started complaining, and they started putting american flags up there. i think we had a great convention. i think the republicans did a terrific job. as you know, millions more watched the final night, my speech, than their night. i just think we had a great convention. >> last question. >> you hear all these platitudes, it's ridiculous for the other one. go ahead. >> you said in a speech today you're afraid this election is going to be rigged. explain. >> yeah. well, i've been -- i've been hearing about it for a long time, and i know last time there were -- you had precincts where there were practically nobody voting for the republican, and i think that's wrong. i think that was unfair frankly to mitt romney. you had areas where a lot of people were curious, how is that possible? and i've been hearing about it for a long time, and i just hope there's really -- i hope the republicans get out there and watch very closely because i think we're going to win this
7:22 pm
election, but if it's rigged, like anything else -- look, it was rigged, i thought, a little bit for me and we won in landslides. i think it was rigged against bernie sanders with his super delegates nonsense. >> we know it was rigged now. we have the e-mails. >> and i'm telling you november 8th, we better be careful because that election's going to be rigged. and i hope the republicans are watching closely, or it's going to be taken away from us. >> all right. mr. trump, thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up, peter schweizer is out with a shocking new report about clinton corruption. it exposes a deal that hillary cut with the russians that could be putting america's national security at risk and allegedly led to millions of dollars flowing into the clinton caphers and their foundation. plus later tonight, retired lieutenant general mike flynn is here. that and more as we continue. ♪

7:25 pm
damning new report that shows during hillary clinton's time as secretary of state, she helped create a partnership with russia that could have put america's national security at risk. schweizer explains some of his findings in a "wall street journal" article saying, quote, clinton's handling of a major technology transfer initiative at the heart of washington's effort to reset relations with russia raises serious questions about her record. mrs. clinton's efforts in this area may have substantially undermined u.s. national security. the report also finds that over a dozen companies involved in this deal with russia donated money to the clinton foundation or sponsored speeches given by bill clinton. now, we did reach out to hillary clinton's campaign. her campaign chairman, john pod es ta, and the clinton foundation for comment, but they have yet to respond. anyway, joining us now with more is the author of "the new york times" best-seller, "clinton cash." it's also out in paper book.
7:26 pm
i read this very carefully here. let's go through this slowly because it gets complicated as they always do. >> sure. >> so hillary clinton is the secretary of state. she has a russian reset initiative, correct? and in the course of that, she is appealing to silicon valley that they work with russia in terms of a transfer of technology that is dual technology, in other words, technology that can be used for some purposes but also military purposes. am i right on this so far? >> yes, that's >> all right. pick it up from there. explain where it goes from there. >> well, the idea, the theory behind this is that we provide technology and have this initiative with the kremlin, and it's going to strengthen relationships between the united states and russia. it's kind of like during the cold war, the theory behind detante. the problem is that the 28 american companies who participate in this initiative,
7:27 pm
of those, 17 of them are major clinton foundation donors, and on the russian side, the person that's running the initiative and some of the participants are also giving money to the clinton foundation. so it's an example of sort of a crony relationship or the people that are participating have financial ties to the clintons. >> so she's orchestrating this transfer of technology, supposedly not for military purposes, but they're dual -- in other words, they can be used for military purposes. 17 of the 28 people in silicon valley are clinton foundation donors. then you've got these russian ol i garks. how many of them donated to the clinton foundation? >> well, there's four or five that we can identify, including victor vexle berg who is close to putin and is running the initiative. he's a clinton foundation donor as is a gentleman who is running the nuclear cluster at skokovo. >> how many of these skokovo
7:28 pm
donors also brought bill clinton in and paid him money for speeches, and how much was he being paid? >> lots of them were. cisco, for example, not only pays bill clinton for speeches, when hillary clinton leaves as secretary of state, one of the first thing she does is a $325,000 speech for sisco. so there's this intertwining relationship, foundations, speaking fees, participants. lay on top of that the national security implications of it. hillary gets this program up and running. you've got this technology going to russia, and the u.s. army comes out with a report and says, wait a second. the beneficiaries of this technology, we believe, is actually the russian military. >> so she is the secretary of state. you've got this technology transfer. she's encouraging investors to fund the russian research in this particular case, helping
7:29 pm
the russians, all part of, again, the reset we know failed. and a lot of it can be used for military purposes. what do we know about how our military or our security has been compromised in the process of this? >> well, the u.s. army says that at skokovo they are developing an engine for a hypersonic cruise missile which does not sound particularly good for the united states. on top of the u.s. army, the fbi came out and actually wrote letters to the company's participating in the initiative, including by the way an energy company upon which hillary clinton's campaign manager john pod es ta sat on the board. the fbi in its letter to these companies said, you need to know we believe the ultimate beneficiaries of this technology is going to be the russian military. so you've got two major institutions, the u.s. army and the fbi, saying this has bad national security implications
7:30 pm
for the united states. and those warn kz were basically ignored. >> let me pull the lens back, big picture here. you chronicle this in the book, and we spent a lot of time talking about the money the clinton foundation has gotten from countries like saudi arabia, that persecute people -- you can't build a jewish temple or a christian church. they're against women, gays, lesbians, christians, and jews. but $10 million to the clinton library, and to what extent do you think now our law enforcement -- because we never got an answer from comey as to whether or not the clinton foundation is still being investigated. to what extent do you think all of this is being investigated? >> i can tell you, sean -- i can't go into detail. but i can tell you on personal experience that i know the fbi is investigating the clinton foundation. >> they're doing it now? they're doing it today? have they questioned you if you don't mind me asking? >> i'd rather not talk about that, but they are doing it at
7:31 pm
present. >> all right. i won't press you any further. i understand. thank you. appreciate it. peter schweizer. coming up next on "hannity." >> with her as our commander-in-chief, our international relations will not be reduced to a business transaction. >> i honestly don't know how john allen can look at himself in the mirror and say why he supports hillary clinton. >> retired general john allen and retired lieutenant jen mike flynn are supporting different candidates and they're not mincing words. when we come back, we'll check in with flynn. plus 60 different groups supporting the black lives matter movement have a very long lift of demands. some of them will shock you. the question is why is the president and why is hillary clinton supporting this radical group? we'll weigh in as we continue. ns beautiful moments. flonase gives you more complete allergy relief. most allergy pills only control one

presidential candidates to ask them to do so. here with reaction, retired lieutenant general mike flynn. general flynn, i would assume that military men and women, retired, have the same rights to free speech as the rest of us, don't they? >> yeah. sean, the question that i would ask general dempsey is when do you stop becoming an american citizen and caring about the future of our country? i did not -- when i stepped out of uniform. i totally understand someone who is on active duty and in the military. but when you're out and you're a private citizen, you can make your own decisions, and i'm a big boy, and i have made my decision to serve my country in the way that i'm serving it because i don't feel like we're going in the right direction. i think for him -- go ahead, sean. >> but john allen, who by the way was the former special envoy to defeat isis. he recognizes on the refugee issue in particular, where hillary wants a 550% increase, he recognizes that isis could infiltrate like they did in belgium and germany and paris
7:39 pm
and all over europe. and general allen said, well, donald trump can cause a civil military crisis. what does that mean? >> yeah, i don't really know what that would -- what general allen is talking about. there's not going to be any civil military crisis. if donald trump has done anything, he has brought laser focus to the problem of this illegal immigration, the refugee flow into europe and into our own country where we have a president who wants to bring 100,000 refugees from syria, iraq, and afghanistan into our own country. and he's also brought the right level attention on this radical islamist problem that we have. so there's not going to be any civil military crisis going on, and i think it's a disservice to those that are serving in our military to say to them that can't they handle a -- you know, a new commander-in-chief? the people in the military know where their loyalty lies, and that's to the constitution and to their chain of command and to each other. >> don't you have to -- if you're going to defeat radical
7:40 pm
islamists, don't you have to be able to say the word? >> yeah. >> thand can't one argue, as i often do, that by not listening to the military, they pulled out of ramadi and mosul, and tikrit too early, creating a vacuum for isis to emerge with the financial resources to expand their terror campaign and caliphate. same thing with syria. hillary also supported mohamed morsi and apparently began the negotiations with ahmadinejad in iran with led to $150 billion. this is legitimate criticism. doesn't the country actually need to hear from military people about the truth about who is going to protect us best? >> for those of us that have decided, like myself, i've decided to continue to serve this country because i don't like the iranian nuclear deal at all. i don't like it. we just gave the number one state sponsor of terrorism a pathway to a nuclear weapon plus
7:41 pm
$150 billion, and their national anthem of iran is "death to america." so we have to get very -- we have to become more responsible in facing up to this enemy that we are facing. and in order to do that, we have to be able to clearly define it. something that this president has not allowed us to do. and on that note, you know, with john allen, you know, i think john allen's service to the country was superb in uniform. he went back in and tried to run this strategy for this president, and the problem was exacerbated with the refugee flows under that time. so there's a lot at stake here for our country. >> i couldn't agree with you more, and i really appreciate it. thanks so much for being with us, general flynn. we appreciate it as always. thank you. when we come back, the associated press is now reporting that a group associated with black lives matter has now released an agenda. some of their demands are downright shocking. so the question is why does president obama invite this group into the white house and the oval office, and why is
7:42 pm
hillary seeking their advice? that and more tonight on this busy news night. edles of diabetic nerve pain, these feet played shortstop in high school, learned the horn from my dad and played gigs from new york to miami. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain, from moderate to even severe diabetic nerve pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain.
7:43 pm
and these feet would like to keep the beat going. ask your doctor about lyrica.

7:46 pm
welcome back to "hannity." so according to the a.p., 60 groups affiliated with the black lives matter group, they released a brand-new left-wing
7:47 pm
list of demands. the platform is based on these tenets. they call for the, quote, end -- they also demand, quote, an end to public jails, detention centers, youth facilities and prisons as we know them. they're demanding payouts for colonialism, slavery, mass incarceration and much more. this includes free college and forgiveness of student debt. they want new investments in black communities by defunding the military, police departments, and prisons among other things. economic justice, they're culling for higher taxes, and they're calling for wealth redistribution and a government-backed jobs program. they demand local control over, quote, the laws, institutions, and policies. this includes schools and budgets, economies, policy, economic policy, and land. they also want political power. they describe this as, quote, independent black political power and black self-determination in all areas
7:48 pm
of society. here with reaction, from the tea party, forward chairman niger innis, co-host of the five, juan williams, and fox news contributor deneen bore borelli. let's put this all in context. we have at the dnc, the people were chanting black lives matter. we have video that we were able to obtain where black lives matter protesters were chanting f the police. we of course had a moment of silence for police officers, and somebody yelled "black lives matters" there. we had a black lives matter protester telling the white people to get in the back. and of course the all-time favorite. what do we want? dead cops. when do we want them? now. let's remind you. [ chanting ] [ crowd chanting ]
7:49 pm
>> i need all white people to move to the back. this is a black and brown resistance march. if you are for this march and you are here to support, you will appropriately take your place in the back of this march. white people to the back. black people to the front. >> pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon. pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like blanket. >> what do we want? dead cops. when do we want it? now. >> juan williams, i know you well. >> yeah, yeah. >> you don't want to associate with a group that says f the police. you don't want to associate with a group that says to white people, get in the back. you don't want to associate with a group that says, what do we want? dead cops. when do we want them? now. but your candidate, hillary clinton, is meeting with them and seeking advice on matters involving criminal justice. >> i don't think -- >> hang on. let me finish. barack obama has invited this group multiple times to the oval office. multiple times.
7:50 pm
do you think they deserve to be there? >> yes. in fact, they refused to meet with obama. >> no, no. they went. >> no, no. in fact, obama has complained that these people -- >> they were there. i wasn't there. you weren't there. >> no, but they refuse to -- >> have you been to the oval office with obvious? >> yes. why? >> just asking. for some reason, i never got the invitation. i don't think -- >> sean, this is a radical movement. president obama and hillary clinton have given them legitimacy. this isn't -- >> killing cops? f the police? >> this isn't about black lives. it's about black votes because hillary desperately need black voter turnout in order to win this election, especially in swing states. what this movement is doing is playing on people's playing that black americans are victims and trying to drive black voters to polls. that is what this is about. >> the evidence to back up
7:51 pm
everything danine just said is true. that is trayvon, and freddie gray. the president speaks out without the presumption of innocence for police and 3,000 foreigners and 70 plus people, does that prove it's about politics? as suggesting? >> do you know something, sean? i want to say it's important that the people, the american people, and black americans in particular, are not necessarily represented by these movements, these extreme elements. >> there is a gallup poll taken that asked a question do you want more cops involved in your community? do you want the same amount of cops? or less cops? by nearly 4 to 1, blacks said
7:52 pm
they want more engagement. >> well, thank you for ignoring my question. >> he just told me. >> but that doesn't represent -- with the people -- >> would you ever associate with a group like this? >> no. but this isn't a group. these are individuals. >> they're holding up a sign chanting "what do we want, dead cops, what do we want them, now". >> you would say that is distortion, juan. >> no. no. >> this is a grand distraction as well. it's trying to dissuade people from seeing failures of progressive policy. they can be out there, why don't think do something good for the black community? obama and hillary clinton, their kids went to great schools. >> black lives matter is about
7:53 pm
police using. >> they're advising hillary. their system. >> and if donald trump listened to a group that chanted what do we want, talked to a group that said black people in the front, white people in the back. >> what about david duke? he condemned him. >> last word, last word is that when the police and the communities that they serve are at odds with one another there is only one winner. the criminal element that is an enemy to police, to black, brown and poor white folks in the community. blue lives matter, black lives matter, all lives matter. >> and your president is pitting americans against their police force. he is. >> that is terrible. >> i don't get it. >> i won't invite him to dinner.
7:54 pm
>> you won't invite the president to dinner? >> no. i won't involve black lives matter to dinner. >> if you say what do we want black lives, what do we want them, now? you're not coming to my house for dinner. >> but that is not black lives matter. >> interracial relationships. >> you're out of your mind. >> i can't believe -- her husband is not here one night and this is what you do. >> are you jealous? >> you're invited any time. >> coming up, we need your help. a very, very important question of the day about how abusively biassed your news media is, straight ahead.
