header. >> judge jeanine pirro and eboni williams weigh in. >> they are saying, please, allah, make trump president of america. >> plus hillary clinton claims isis is praying for donald trump to become president. "hannity" starts right here, right now. welcome to "hannity." tonight new fallout over hillary clinton's many missteps at last night's commander in chief forum. clinton is being criticized for saying her vote on the iraq war was a mistake. imagine if you're the parent of one of the 5,000 people that lost their lives. take a look. >> i think that the decision to go to war in iraq was a mistake, and i have said that my voting to give president bush that authority was, from my perspective, my mistake. >> clinton also promised voters that she'd never put u.s. troops on the ground in iraq and syria, flat out ignoring or simply not knowing the fact that thousands are actually already there. watch this.

>> we are not putting ground troops into iraq ever again, and we're not putting ground troops into syria. we're going to defeat isis without committing american ground troops. >> and the big whopper. well, clinton served up a new excuse about her private e-mail server scandal. we're going to have reaction to all of that later. but first joining us now in studio, a rare in studio appearance. how nice of you to grace us with your presence. >> oh, thank you. good to be here. >> fox news contributor, nationally syndicated radio host laura ingraham. all right. if i was the parent of one of nearly 5,000 families that lost loved ones in iraq, or maybe my son had his legs blown off, or maybe he was disfigured or his arms are blown off. i'm saying here's the lady that voted to send me to war. we won ramadi, baghdad, mosul, fallujah, and tikrit. oh, but it was a mistake, but it's imperative we learn about it. i would be apoplectic. >> she's trying to appeal to the bernie sanders voters out there.

some of them, we know, are at least turning more favorably to trump now, sean. she wants to peel those people away, and she knows that a lot of these republicans who used to be with bush are closer to her on some of these issues than trump. so she's walking a tightrope here on what she thinks on foreign policy. she's trying to appeal to the bernie people, and she's trying to get some of these republicans to go over to her as well. and i think she's failing on both sides. i think she was terrible last night. >> i thought it was a horrible night for her. >> it was an awful appearance. >> can you imagine saying we're not going to put troops on the ground, but they're already there. their lives are at risk, not only that, pulling out of iraq created the opening, the vacuum for isis to rise and with the financial resources. >> and losing mosul and now taking back mosul. they're finding mass graves in

iraq now where isis just bulldozed bodies that either they hatcheted to death or shot. and that is also part of the legacy of leaving iraq in this disastrous state. hindsight is always 20/120. you can say all these countries had the wrong intelligence. i understand that. but i think the thing that really came out of this appearance last night for me, sean, was that she's just given up, i think, defending her record. she can't defend what has happened in the economy under obama. she can't defend her foreign policy record. she's not really defending benghazi. she's not defending anything that's happened in the middle east. she cannot defend the record. she can't really argue that things are going to get all that much better. she kept making these veiled references to the v.a. and, well, we're going to have better technology. are you keeping your ideas a secret from obama? you have all these great ideas, and he's just not implemented

them? i just think her argument for a better future is just not there. all it is, is trump's crazy. trump's crazy. >> that's all she has. if you look at donald trump, i mean i think he's had the best four weeks of his campaign post-convention. he went to baton rouge. i thought he was presidential with the mexican president, side by side. good moment for him. his speech in detroit, good moment for him. he's doing policy speech after policy speech. he's staying focused, on message. if he continues to do it, these polls -- i'm put them up on the screen in a minute -- show he's made a lot of progress in the last three weeks. >> nate silver, who's been wrong about some things, his polls plus average, he takes into account a lot of factors. >> he was at 33. >> he's definitely improved. >> it fluctuates quite a bit. >> this has definitely been a better trajectory for him than for hillary. i think he has to keep reassuring people that if you

want a job and you want a new economic opportunity, you're going to have more money in your pocket if trump's president. >> the economic statistics are -- >> they're devastating. >> i give them out every night. i bore the audience here with it but lowest labor participation rate since the '70s. >> one in six men out of work. >> one in five american families don't have one member in the family working. >> whose legacy is that? are we still blaming george w. bush for that? who are we blaming for that? this is the legacy of obama and clinton on foreign policy and the domestic economy. and trump just has to go to the electorate and say, look, you might not like my unvarnished style. you might think i'm a little brash. i get that. i'm a new yorker. but you can't think that this is going to get any better under hillary clinton. >> she says she's going to continue it. let's put up some poll numbers. here's a couple interesting things. i think there's three numbers to watch very closely. what percentage of the republican vote donald trump's getting. he needs to go up among the base. >> sure. >> i would argue those

sabotaging him -- we'll get to that in a minute -- are having some impact. but here's what's interesting if you look at this new national poll, "boston herald," franklin pierce, clinton, hispanics, trump, 36%. if you look at african-americans, trump, 19%. that number may seem low, but when you compare it to the 4% that john mccain got and 7% that romney got, that is a game-changer. >> if that's the number he ends up with, it's going to be a massive blowout for trump. they have to get the black vote out for hillary clinton. >> so she's going to one more klan ads. >> it's going to be they're picking on me because i'm a new woman. that's the new desperation. they were saying on slate.com and all these liberal websites that she's being unfairly treated because she's a woman. on the one hand, she's the smartest, most talented person. on the other hand, she's like a damsel in distress? how do you call yourself a feminist? >> let's look at 9 latest quinnipiac swing state poll. florida, dead even. north carolina, clinton.

although there was a new poll out today that had trump up by three. ohio, trump up by one. look at pennsylvania, five-point race. by the way, three-point race in wisconsin. >> iowa. >> iowa, he's up. it's close in michigan, too. but this is tight. >> yeah, this is getting tighter. i think, again, i would stay off the side issues that don't matter. i would stay on safety, security, and prosperity. >> and change. 37% upside down number on is the country headed in the wrong direction? >> also that tone he took in detroit where he shared his heart. >> that was interesting, right? >> i think that was his best moment in my view. he has about 75% of the republicans voting for him. is there a cumulative impact of the establishment, "the wall street journal," the glenn becks of the world, the george wills of the world that i would argue -- john kasichs of the

world that are sabotaging the trump campaign. >> i think they're sitting on the sidelines hoping he loses so they can wag their finger and say, i told you he's a vulgarian. we didn't go to the same schools. he wasn't as smart as we are. this is so tedious. we know what's at stake. >> they are having an impact, cumulatively, not individually. >> i think as trump continues to prove himself on the trail, they're going to look less and less relevant. i hope everybody reads my fepie. thank you for re-tweeting it yesterday. >> to me, the issues are clear. on the supreme court, what a difference in who he'd appoint versus who she'd appoint. i like extreme vetting and listening to our top national security officials. i like building the wall for national security reasons so we don't have 95 million americans out of the labor force. >> what's going to be left to conserve in four years? >> then there's obamacare. then there's energy independence. all of these issues are significant. >> significant, and the country will be better as a result. put aside your personal hurt and

all -- put your big boy pants on and do what's best for your country. i hope they do in the end. i don't want to malign them too much although they've been kind of mean to you and me. that's the way it goes. >> listen, i said this to jonah goldberg and glenn beck. if she wins based on your constant barrage of attacks and not telling the story of what the choice is, then they own her. they own her supreme court choices. >> i don't want to hear complaints from them. don't complain about hillary. they should be honest and come out for hillary if trump is the bag guiy. they should actually explicitly come out and endorse hillary clinton. coming up next right here on "hannity." >> the whole country saw how unfit she was at the town hall last night where she refused to take accountability for her failed policies in the middle east. >> donald trump slamming hillary clinton as unfit to be president. this comes as new polls show that the race for the white house has tightened quite a bit. we'll check in with the original insurgent, patrick j. buchanan.

and later hillary clinton is coming up with new excuses about a private e-mail server. we'll remind you about all the old excuses and all the lies she told you and much more on this busy edition of "hannity."

live from america's news headquarters, i'm patricia stark. the u.s. geological survey detecting a 5.3 magnitude seismic event near north korea's nuclear test site. the tremor suggesting pyongyang might have conducted its fifth

nuclear test. the last one was conducted earlier this year. it's believed the country is trying to develop a nuclear armed missile capable of reaching the u.s. mainland. president obama inviting the four congressional leaders to a meeting at the white house monday. the nature of the meeting between the president, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, senate minority leader harry reid, house speaker paul ryan and nancy pelosi hasn't been revealed. however it's expected to focus on the ajean did for the final months of the year, including obama's push to ratify the transpacific partnership and funding to combat the zika virus. i'm patricia stark, and now back to "hannity." hillary clinton was e-mailing about the drone program among many other extremely sensitive matters. this is yet more evidence that clinton is unfit to be your

commander in chief. by the way, the whole country saw how unfit she was at the town hall last night, where she refused to take accountability for her failed policies in the middle east that have produced millions of refugees, unleashed horror of radical islamic terrorism all over, and made us less safe than ever before. >> donald trump earlier today taking a swipe at his democratic opponent, hillary clinton. we are less than nine weeks away from election day. donald trump has now narrowed the spread in the real clear politics average national poll. in a four-way race, hillary clinton only leading by 2.1% within the margin of error. now trump has cut that lead by nearly five percentage points in just the last month. here with reaction, patrick j. buchanan. two statements, i want to ask you if it's right. did the establishment

republicans help create trump, number one? and do you think the same establishment republicans are trying to sabotage trump? >> first off, the establishment republicans did create trumpism and trump in this sense, sean. they ignored the border issue when we first brought it up in 1992-'92. they ignored the whole issue of trade and loss of manufacturing and jobs. and all of a sudden when donald trump took these issues to the people, a huge explosion of support came. so in that sense, the republican party is paying the price of having ignored trump. that's why they have trump today. and frankly, one of the reasons trump is being abandoned by a lot of establishment is they don't want him in the white house, sean. they don't want to give up their ideology and their ideas that really belong to another era. >> there was a poll out today, and i found this interesting. "boston herald," franklin pierce. look, i think there's been a series of events that donald trump has shadow real

leadership. going down to baton rouge i thought worked out very well for him. especially hillary never went. obama had to follow his lead. then he went to mexico. i thought that was a presidential moment for him in spite of being very tough on mexico, he went there, and it turned out, i think, very well for him. being tough doesn't necessarily mean it backfires on you. and i thought the town hall last night was particularly good as well, and his speech in detroit was particularly good. what do you see as the main factors for the change in the polls in the last four weeks? >> the main factor is this. trump was behind because after the republican convention and the democratic convention, a lot of people who were looking to trump and about to make up their minds had partly made up their minds that the guy is just not qualified. he doesn't have the temperament. we just can't vote for him to give him the nuclear weapons. now they've seen trump, and especially that trip to mexico, where he stood up with the president of mexico, respectfully about the people of

mexico and the country, made a clear statement of american policy, and that was such a triumph for him, sean, the president of mexico just fired the finance minister who told him to meet with trump. so that was a clear-cut victory, and these are meetings, they show trump, even if you disagree with how he handles it, he's a guy willing to take a risk. he wants to reach out. he does want to broaden the base. so i think a lot of folks are rooting for him. and the second problem that hillary clinton has got, which i think her staff realizes, now that she's taken questions from the press -- >> she took six questions. 16 minutes, six questions. not one about her e-mail scandal or about her lying. so i mean i'm not exactly calling that a press conference. are you? >> no, but what i will say this is. matt lauer asked her some tough questions about the drone strikes and things, and she got tough questions from the audience to the point, sean, if the liberals this morning are attacking matt lauer, which they

are, look, if you're attacking the referee, you've probably lost the fight. >> i think that's well said. all right. so if you look at this "boston herald"/franklin pierce poll, very favorable, somewhat favorable, donald trump, 25% of the african-american vote. 33% of the latino vote. go back to 2012. mitt romney got, what, 6%, 7% of the black vote? he has gone to great lengths to talk about how things have not gone well for the black community under obama's policies. 58% increase, black americans on food stamps since obama's been president. 20% increase, black americans out of the labor force. then on top of that, they suffer the debt, the worst recovery since the '40s, the lowest homeownership rate, the lowest labor participation rate since the '70s. do you think he can make inroads that we have not seen since,

say, ronald reagan? >> i certainly do. mccain got beat 24-1 among african-americans. obama got 95%. he got 4%. as you mentioned, mitt romney got slaughtered. now, if you can take the republican vote among african-americans and raise it from that 7% or 4% to 12% or 14% or 16%, you're doing as well as any candidate, i think, since richard nixon's landslide. but secondarily, sean, there are basically moderate and conservative republicans who want to reach out to african-americans, who aren't anti-african-american at all, who recognize their hellish problems, some of them unique almost to that community, and we ought to address them. at the same time, you can have tough conservative policies on supporting cops and supporting law and order. i admire what he's doing. >> here's what i don't understand. we know his supreme court justices. you can compare it to who hillary would appoint. we know his position in listening to comey and mike

mccall and extreme vetting of refugees. i think that keeps america safe. we know his position on the wall. we know he wants to repeal and replace obamacare. we know the guy wants energy independence. we know hillary wants coal miners out of work and coal businesses out of business. why are these guys from "the wall street journal," you know, the bret stephens of the world, why are the jonah goldbergs of the world, the glenn becks of the world, i don't think any one of them is hurting trump. but i believe cumulatively, it is pushing down the vote of republicans, and he needs 90% of that base vote to win. why do you think they are not looking at the issues the way you and i are here? >> well, there's a number of issues which i would call populist and nationalist issues in addition to the conservative issues. >> trade? >> "the wall street journal," bob bartley, whom i knew well, was the editorial editor who wanted a five-word constitutional amendment. there shall be open borders.

that's insanity, but that was a "wall street journal" idea. free trade, globalization, that is "the wall street journal's" economic policy. it's one world. that's what it's all about. it is globalism versus americanism, and trump is an americanist. the third issue, trump has said, look, we're not going to go abroad looking for monsters to destroy or remake governments or overthrow them or try to make -- you know, try to create vermont in the middle of the hindu cush. we're just not going to do it. many of the neocons especially are committed to this policy of remaking the world in their own image. so trump is -- >> how many times are we going to send our national treasure, our men and women to fight, bleed, die, and win mosul, ramadi, fallujah, tikrit, and baghdad only to have it ripped away from them, and then hillary clinton said, woops, it's a mistake that i sent you, and we've got to learn from the

mistake. tell that that the parents that lost their sons and daughters there or the guys that came back disfigured. >> you couldn't be more right on this, sean. look, when robert mcnamara was behind sending all those guys to vietnam, and people found out he really didn't believe in it, he didn't walk away from that. people put that to him year in and year out. they weren't remaking him secretary of defense. look, these people who have done this, they say we're wrong. we apologize. we're sorry. fine. that does not mean you ought to be entrusted with the foreign policy of the united states again. look at mr. wolf wits over there. this is an architect of the iraq war. >> unbelievable. we cannot do this again to our brave men and women. we're going -- if you're going fight a war, you better have an objective. you better have an exit strategy, and you better win.

we can't keep doing this. thank you. coming up, hillary clinton makes yet another new excuse about her private e-mail server. we're going to show you what she's now saying. we'll get reaction from judge jeanine pirro and eboni williams. also later tonight. >> i have been somewhat heartened by the number of articles recently pointing out the quite disparate treatment of trump and his campaign compared to ours. >> did i just hear what i think i heard? hillary whining and complaining the liberal mainstream media, her biggest campaign contributor, is treating her unfairly? we'll check in with larry custody low, austan goolsbee. they'll be here to check in. that and more tonight on "hannity." this is the pursuit of perfection. here's the plan.

you grow up wanting to be a lawyer, because your dad's a lawyer. and you land a job with a 401k and meet your wife. you're surprised how much you both want kids, and equally surprised you can't have them. so together, you adopt a little boy... and then his two brothers... and you up your life insurance because four people depend on you now. then, one weekend, when everyone has a cold and you've spent the whole day watching tv, you realize that you didn't plan for any of this, but you wouldn't have done it any other way. with the right financial partner, progress is possible.

we thought fibers that caused unwanted gas.gular not good. then we switched to new mirafiber. only mirafiber supports regularity with dailycomfort fiber and is less likely to cause... unwanted gas. finally. try new mirafiber. from the makers of miralax. classified material has a header which says "top secret,"

"secret," "confidential." nothing -- and i will repeat this, and this is verified in the report by the department of justice. none of the e-mails sent or received by me had such a header. >> wow. by the way, you don't need classification does not always come with a header, and hillary knows that. hillary clinton last night making up yet another excuse about the classified e-mails being found on her private server. earlier today donald trump attacked clinton over the use of this private server. let's take a look. >> hostile foreign actors gained access to the personal e-mail accounts of individuals with whom clinton was in regular contact. and in doing so, obtained e-mails sent to or received by clinton on her personal account. hillary clinton's staff deleted and digitally bleached -- which is acid-cleaned -- her e-mails after receiving a congressional subpoena. she couldn't even remember

whether she was trained or handling classified information. didn't remember anything about it. so if she really didn't remember, that's a problem. and if she did remember, that's a problem. >> all right. let's take a trip down memory lane. let's look at hillary's unfolding, ever growing stories, fabrication, and we'll follow that up with trey gowdy grilling the fbi director about all the times she lied to you, the american people. >> the laws and regulations in effect when i was secretary of state allowed me to use my e-mail for work. that is undisputed. >> it clearly wasn't the best choice, and i take responsibility for that decision. i thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal e-mails instead of two. i believe i have met all of my responsibilities, and the server

will remain private. in order to be as cooperative as possible, we have turned over the server. they can do whatever they want to with the server to figure out what's there or what's not there. >> secretary clinton said there 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 markings on i think three of the documents. >> secretary clinton said i did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. there is no classified material. was that true? >> no. there was classified material e-mailed. >> secretary clinton said she used just one device. was that true? >> she used multiple devices during the four years of her term as secretary of state. >> 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. >> here with reaction, eboni williams and the host of justice, judge jeanine pirro. first of all, she didn't wipe it clean with a cloth. she used bleachbit. if that doesn't prove criminal intent, i don't know. by the way, it wasn't one device. we now find out it's 13 to 14 devices. okay. and they smashed them with a hammer. >> mm-hmm. >> how did james comey not come up with an indictment here? >> you know, as you know, jim is a friend of mine or was when i was a d.a. i have never been more disgusted with someone who was a former prosecutor and the way he has covered this up and gone to such great lengths to protect the woman. to protect anyone. >> and a dump on a friday before labor day. >> for jim to say that, you know what, we wanted to get it out as soon as possible. jim, that is hog wash, and you know it. i've lost all respect for the man. i have. he may be the head of the fbi,

but shame on him for what he has done. >> eboni? >> well, he knew he was going to get this kind of criticism. i will say he came out and said, look, i knew i was going to take some heat for donald trumping it -- dumping it on a friday before a holiday. he did say there's more to come. i think we have to pay attention to that. that's very important. i absolutely expect as he gets it ready, we're going to get hor and more. >> wait a minute. i delete e-mails. you delete e-mails. we've all deleted something. i don't use bleachbit. doesn't that show criminal intent? >> yeah, you know what's the worst, though, sean? >> as trey gowdy said, god can't find them after bleachbit. >> and she knows that, right. her reliance, though, on the header situation, it's so desperate, and it's factually and legally unacceptable. it's insufficient, and she knows this because you know what? hillary clinton is also a lawyer, and she knows that that doesn't cut the mustard. >> what do you do when somebody lies with regularity like this, lied about benghazi?

>> wh what do you do when 40% of the country, you can have her on video popping somebody in the head with a gun at point blank range and they'll still vote for her. >> that is the sad part of this. hillary clinton has lied so often and so much that the american public is immune to it. i mean they don't think it matters anymore. but what they don't seem to understand is that we cannot have a leader who lies to us continuously for her own benefit, for money and for power. >> i think people know she's a liar. people say across the political -- many people say they're choosing between someone they don't like and someone they don't trust. i'm not going to judge that decision. >> who are you voting for? >> my secret, sean. >> not her. i'll be honest about that. this woman destroyed evidence after a congressional subpoena.

>> if i did this -- [ overlapping voices ] >> i did donate when you were running. >> you did. >> it was money well spent because i got with to yell at you at a dinner. coming up next tonight on "hannity." >> i have been somewhat heartened by the number of articles recently pointing out the quite disparate treatment of trump and his campaign compared to ours. >> hillary whining, complaining the media is not being tough enough on trump but on her? seriously? they're her biggest campaign contributor. larry kudlow, austan goolsbee, they weigh in. then later tonight. >> the jihadists see this as a great gift. they are saying, oh, please, allah, make trump president of americ in an interview on israeli tv claiming isis is praying to allah for donald trump to become president? wow.

welcome back to "hannity." so just hours after sitting down with matt lauer for a commander in chief forum, earlier today hillary clinton took questions from the press where she made a point to whine and complain about the press' unfair coverage. wait a minute. they are her number one campaign contributor. watch this. >> i have been somewhat heartened by the number of articles recently pointing out the quite disparate treatment of trump and his campaign compared to ours. i don't understand the reasons for it. i find it frustrating, but it's just part of the landscape that we live in, and we just keep forging ahead. >> pretty unbelievable. now, today many members of the liberal mainstream media have been critical of poor matt

lauer. why? because he asked clinton a tough question, but important questions like what about the e-mail server? and does that disqualify you? really tough. here now is former obama economic advisor austan goolsbee, and the author of this terrific new book, jfk and the reagan revolution, a secret history of american prosperity, larry kudlow. >> thank you. >> i just got my copy, but this is what i know. that jfk and reagan both lowered the top marginal tax rates, and lo and behold, unlike obama the first person this will never reach 3% gdp growth in any given year, we had prosperity and growth and increased revenues to the government. we can do it again. >> we can do it again. we should do it again. it's one of the reasons why i wrote the book. look, jfk is a democrat with a republican treasury secretary, knocked down tax rates by 30%

across the board. >> rising tide. >> a rising tide. he also argued and was proven that not only would the economy boom, which it did at 5%, but tax cut revenues would pay for themselves. that came true. roll the clock forward. bad economy, reagan comes in. uses the jfk tax cut model. >> people need to hear this. >> reagan is a republican. kennedy is a democrat. capital the supply side model to spur growth. it's exactly what we need today. >>. >> let me throw out the numbers to poor austan because he's responsible in part for the bad economy. >> not in part. completely, sean. you said it completely. now i only get half the credit. >> we've got one in five american families without a single person working. the lowest labor participation rate since the 1970s. the worst recovery since the '40s. 12 more million americans since your buddy obama as president,

on food stamps. 8 million more americans in poverty. he will acoupcumulate more debt than any other president before him combined. that's your legacy and your record. own it. you're going to blame bush any second now. go ahead. >> i'm not. when you say these statistics, you insinuate that we have had a steady trend downward over that whole time, and that's completely wrong. we had a steep down in the first two years as we were in recession, and since then basically every measure you cited has been improving. >> the first president never to hit 3% gdp growth for a single year of his presidency. that's your guy. more debt than every other president before him combined. >> we have had a tortoise recovery, not a hare. we didn't hit the fastest year, but we are now in the longest recovery of private sector job growth on record in the united states. >> austan goolsbee is a great friend of mine. >> it's not true anymore.

>> this is the worst economic expansion since world war ii. i just wanted to say -- here's the thing, austan. you can go back to obama, or you can go back to 2000. you see stuff. jobs, wages, business investment, real wages, as i just said, productivity. all this has not grown in 15-plus years, okay? w. is responsible for part of it. i think obama is responsible for a lot of it. you and i disagree on this, but austan, i'll just say one economic lesson here on policy. big government spending, which was the obama policy in 2009, 2010 and later, didn't work. it didn't work. so if it didn't work and we look at the numbers and the numbers are lousy, why not try something different like kennedy, reagan tax rate reduction? at least business tax rate reduction, austan. >> well, look, larry and i are old friends and we're both growth guys, and that's why we have always gotten along. all i will say is if you think

cutting taxes for high-income people and corporations is a imagine imagine ix elixer for growth you have to explain why when george bush did that did it not work. . >> if we would do two things -- and i want larry to weigh in on this for. if we were to allow the multinational corporations that cannot bring not millions, billions -- trillions of dollars back to this country and incentivize them to build factories and manufacturing centers here because we bring them in at a cheap rate, and we excha expand, coal mining, drilling, frack, and become energy independent, would those two things alone -- >> i mean yes. trump has the most fabulous business tax cuts. 15% for large and small companies. immediate cash expensing and good repatriation to bring those overseas dollars home. i believe if he wins and he gets

that through, the economy jumps to 5% economic growth. >> i agree with you. >> i think that's where it's going to go. >> austan, you believe in corporate tax reform. how about this. >> i believe in corporate tax reform but not the trump -- >> we're running out of time. [ overlapping voices ] >> trump's version is a $10 trillion tax cut. >> that's not true. >> yes, it is. >> it's not true. it's coming back next week. you're going to see much different numbers. the best way to raise wages is to slash the business tax rates for large and small companies. that is proven. it's been researched. [ overlapping voices ] >> i'm going to have to run. so let me just say, larry is right and austan is wrong. [ overlapping voices ] >> i'm on a roll.

>> you know what, kennedy and reagan were right. great book. coming up next tonight on "hannity." >> the jihadists see this as a great gift. they are saying, oh, please, allah, make trump president of america. >> wow. clinton is saying that terrorists, they're praying to allah for trump to be elected president. dr. sebastian gorka weighs in next.

so isis prefers the guy that says radical islam, not the person that is in denial about it and isis prefers the guide that would never give the iranians the number one state sponsor of terror $400 million and at built to pursue nuclear weapons. >> sean, are you worried hillary clinton knows what kind of prayers the jihadists are praying? >> that kind of, somewhat, nerve wracking now that you point it out. yeah. >> so let's get the facts right. the president of barack obama and hillary clinton was a god send to isis. literally. when he came into office, there was no such thing as isis. this was al qaeda in iraq which was a dysfunctional, franchise

branch of al qaeda. when we pulled our troops out and declared victory by withdrawing, that is when the story of isis began. when we declared red lines in syria that weren't red lines and when we decided to have our disastrous policy that was hillary clinton's policy in libya. >> she's saying this to obfuscate for what is the truth and reality. she gave the land and created the ability for isis to emerge and to have financial resources to go forward with their destruction and their caliphate. >> it's important to understand there has never been a modern jihadi organization as powerful as isis. isis has affiliates, according to national counter terrorism center of barack obama's government, it has a fully

operational affiliate in 18 countries around the world, including places as far as iraq as afghanistan. this organization holds territory m iraq, syria, libya and nigeria in west africa in the form of boko haram. >> when we come back, a very-important question of the day, straight ahead. i'm claudine and i quit smoking with chantix.
