the show that is the swornrn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. good night from kyoto, japan. sean hannity is next. ♪ ♪ >> dan: welcome to this special edition of "hannity." the 2020 election. i'm dan bongino in for sean. for the hour, we'll preview the race for the white house, and we start with the painfully long, two-night democratic debate.nd this week, americans got a glimpse that just how radical and out of touch the left have become. nowhere is this more apparent than immigration. the policy of open borders isn't enough. now the field of radical candidatesat are promising to decriminalize illegal immigration altogether. give all illegal immigrants unlimited, taxpayer-funded health care, and a much more. watch this. >> raise your hand if you think it should be a civil

offense rather than a crime to cross the border without documentation? can we keep the hands up so we can seecu them. if someone is here without documents and that is their only offense, is that person to be deported? >> no. that person can be a part ofte this great american experience. >> raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants? >> we shouldn't have 11 million undocumented people without a path to documentation. it makes no sense. >> i would reinstate the daca protection to the young people and i will further extend protection for the deferral of deportation for their parents. i would reform how we treat asylum seekers at the bordern f i would have a community based treatment where you are doing in

the communities, where asylum-seekers are given lawyers, where there o is a real immigration judges, not employees of the attorney general but appointed for life. >> dan: while democrats try to provide health coverage to illegal immigrants, they are failing to take away the health insurance of every american enforce the money government run medicare for all. take a look at this. >> who here would abolish the private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan? all right. >> we will have medicare for all.. >> so the plan that senator sanders and i support medicare for all is how you get to single payer. >> i would call it medicare for all whot wanted. you make it available on exchanges. people can buy in. if people like us are right and it will be a mores. inclusive and more efficient plan than corporate answers out there, then it'll beay a glide path to the single payer environment. t >> dan: how do the dems plan to pay for medicare for all on top

of free higher education, on top of the free family pay -- we have to use air quotes. nothing is free. on top of the universal basic income, unfettered immigration and green new deal. where will they get the money? well, they're gonna take your money. your taxes will go way, way up. don't just take it from me. just listen to the democrats, yes, the democrats from this week's debates. >> you've called for big new government benefits like universal healthcare and free college. in a recent interview, you said you suspected americans would be "delighted" to pay for taxes for things like that. >> people who have healthcare under medicare for all will have no premiums, no deductibles, no co-payments, no out-of-pocket expenses. yes, they will pay more in taxes. we must make public colleges and universities tuition-free. and eliminate student debt. and we do that by placing a tax on wall street. >> and i would be going about eliminating donald trump's tax cuts for the wealthy. >> that is why we need to do a carbon tax and dividend.

>> we had a value-added tax at even half the european level it would generate $800 billion in new revenue. >> dan: earlier in japan, president trump responded to the radical socialist agenda. and suggested that the democratic party might need to change its name. watch this. >> president trump: i have been watching the debates a little bit in between meetings. i wasn't impressed. but when you look at the socialism, and you look at what it can do, that is what you are talking about there. that has become like the socialist party. i heard there's a rumor they're going to change their name to the socialist party. >> dan: joining us now is herman cain and former obama economic advisor austan goolsbee. austan, i'll go to you first. you know it's coming. is this an admission that obamacare has failed?

the obama team actually ran on not providing health care, u.s. taxpayer-funded health care to illegal immigrants. is this an admission, finally, that obamacare was a disaster? >> that is wrong on every count. but i do agree that the debates were too long. you clearly cherry picked from bernie sanders, from marginal candidates, one sentence from here, one sentence from there. and you are portraying something that wasn't what they said.m in the case of healthcare for people that are here with undocumented immigrants, that was, should people have access to healthcare, not that it would be given to them free. and not that they would take away somebody else's healthcare and give it to undocumented immigrants. that is completely absurd. that is not what they said in the debate. >> dan: i believe the government was government-funded healthcare. hold on.e >> if a person goes to the emergency room -- >> dan: they already have healthcare. >> if they go to the emergency room and undocumented they: have to be treated. that is the law.w.

>> dan: the moderators were clearly asking who would provide benefits to people in the country illegally? everyone raised their hands. we didn't doctor it. it's not like we adobe photo shopped it. >> that is the only one of all the group agreed that you selected. >> dan: it was the whole group. >> it was if people could buy in. it wasn't that they'd be given healthcare free. they would be able to buy in. >> dan: it was the whole group. we didn't selectct anything. herman, where is this work, we didn't cherry pick. these are their own words. we have bernie sanders running on the 70%-plus marginal tax m rates, which is absurd. we have them running on expanded government spending with $22 trillion in debt. can you tell me, mr. cain, anywhere on earth the agenda of the heavy government spending, confiscatoryge taxation, where this has worked? >> i'm surprised that austan is from the same planet that the democratic presidential wannabes are from.e

they're not from the planet earth. secondly, medicare for all means no choices for all, period. okay? dan, that is an original sound bite you can use in perpetuity. medical for all means no choices for all. all you have to do is look at obamacare. they called it the affordable care act. but it was the unaffordable care act. and what happened to it because it failed is because it wasn't affordable for a lot of people. so austan is trying to defend an indefensible position relative to healthcare for all including illegals. they don't understand the word "illegal." >> dan: austan, you are an economist. you are a smart guy. can you explain to me how mathematically it will work if people who are here in the country illegally, in other words, no constraints on you coming in, you can come in the country illegally and still claim u.s. taxpayer asset, to

claim our healthcare assets? explain how, mathematically -- friedman, the greatest economy of our lifetime -- >> i will explain it because as i said, you cherry picked it. >> dan: i did not cherry pick anything. i played their words. what are you talking about? >> you didn't! because vice president biden then explained why he voted for that. and he said it's going to allow the people to buy in to the system. that you are going to collect taxes on those workers to pay in to the system. >> dan: how are they going to do that if they are here illegally?: are we going to give them a social security number or a tax i.d. number? they are here illegally. how are we going to do that? >> that happens now, dan. people who are here illegally pay billions of dollars of payroll tax. >> dan: we give them social security numbers and tax i.d. numbers? i like how you switch that around. that is not what we do. you know that. they pay sales tax. >> they have a tax i.d. number you can pay taxes.oc >> dan: here illegally. >> billions of dollars from millions of people come in that way.

>> dan: so what you're suggesting, i just want to nail you down on this, is we should wipe down on any illegal immigration process -- that doesn't make sense. >> dan, that is the complete opposite of what i have ever said. you just put words in w my mouth that have nothing to do with what i said. i said that what all of those candidates said they were voting for was to allow people that were here undocumented to buy in to the new system that they were putting forward. now, bernie sanders, you are right, is advocating a medicare for all plan to get rid of the private insurance. but the majority of thee candidates are for a medicare by choice, which, as you know, the congressional budget office says is cheaper than the system we have now.. doesn't cost anything. and is supported by 74% of america, including the majority of republicans. >> dan: all right. well, suggesting that medicare will be cheaper than a privately run system is absurd. you are an economist and you know that is not true.ha the government bathes in

inefficiency because cost and quality don't matter. you have heard of the third party payer problem i'm sure. let me go to herman. i'll get back to you, i promise. mr. cain, bill clinton ran on the era of big government being over. bill clinton, well, i'm not a bill clinton fan, obviously, but it was restrained in the congress. is that the party of kennedy and bill clinton, are they all republicans and dead and gone? >> the answer is no. every one of those candidates that we saw last night and the night before, they favor the era of bigger government. bigger government. more control government. that is what this is about. austan can try to spin this all he wants to in terms of the words that he uses, but the fact of the matter is, it all boils down to they want to spend more of our money, those people that make money and have jobs. and spend it more for illegals. why don't they worry about the

citizens of this country more than they worry about the illegals of the country?y? why don't they do something to help secure the border. they finally passed something but it took them two months or more in order to pass something to do something about the border. you want to know why? t the people in the house and the senate heard from their constituents back home. that is how we get civilized. we get back on planet earth. they are nott on this planet. they are from an alternative universe, as laura ingraham has said many times before. we need to get back to earth, and we need to get back to looking out to the citizens who work in this country, rather than worrying about the illegals. >> dan: austan, to take it out to a bigger perspective, what is with the argument of higher taxes and healthcare. explain what special knowledge that the government bureaucrats have to manage healthcare of 330 millionau

americans, and manage the economy? if they were any good at that stuff, they wouldn't be in government position. they would be in a private business making money. >> we can argue among the three of us, we can have arg debate about what should be the role of government or how big should it be. you cannot deny that the overhead and cost expenses on medicare, which is one of the most popular government programs in the entire country, supported by massive majorities, those costs are lower than the private sector healthcare. >> dan: not true. it's because they have an older and sicker population. when you are doing is messing with the fractions, i know that trick. >> i'm not messing with the fractions. older and sicker should look worse but it looks better. >> dan: that's a trick everybody was on the democrat side. you know that, austan. i have to run. >> it's the opposite of a trick. >> dan: we'll have to continue another time. you are looking at live pictures of president trump in osaka, japan, at the g20 summit.>>

where he is attending a women's work four session. if the president has anything to say, we'll bring it to you live. herman, austan, thanks a lot. the liberal establishment media is in panic after the first debates. they are realizing the radical positions adopted by the party will cost them the general election against president trump. take a look at this. >> last night was a disaster for democratick party. my only hope is people were not watching. >> i'm texting with the trump campaign sources. i christmas. compared to christmas. gleeful. >> this is not your parents' democratic party. this isn't even your older sister's democratic party. it's changed considerably. >> i don't see anybody on the stage that would beat trump. >> virtually every democrat on the stage took positions to the left of barack obama. v playing right in to, at least from the campaign's view, their plan to portray democrats as simply too far to the left, effectively a socialist party. >> dan: as you heard earlier

some of the radical proposals made by the democratic presidential hopefuls this week include decriminalizing illegal border crossing, taxpayers funded healthcare for illegals. how is that going to work out? unlimited immigration and migrants are gonna get free healthcare? the math just doesn't work. joining me now with reaction is louisiana senator john kennedy.y. senator kennedy, thank you for joining us tonight. i appreciate it. i just had austan goolsbee on and i was talking about the math here. can't possibly work.ki you obviously have some experience in this arena. how do you have open borders? friedman said this a long time ago. you can't have open borders and a welfare state. the math doesn't work because orhe entire globe has a claim on u.s. taxpayer assets. it can't work because it won't work. your thoughts? >> i listened to part of the debates. i just found itt bizarre, dan. i mean, i know many of the

candidates running, but i felt like i was listening to folks who were castro without the beard. or cuba without the sun. i mean, number one, it's clear to me that most of the candidates for president onf te democratic side hadnt decided that illegal immigration is a moral good. that the border is just a nuisance. i don't know that most americans believe that. i don't know a country in the world that doesn't have borders and doesn't want to know who is coming in to the country. if for no other reason than public safety. in terms of the free healthcare for illegal immigrants, we've got at least 11 million folks in our country illegally. we have 5,000 a day coming in right now as a result of the asylum laws. i don't know how we would pay for that.

it would cost, by my estimation, $55-$60 billion. nine zeros a year. to give free health insurance to folks in the country illegally. and we can't afford what we are doing now with healthcare in america. that is why we have a $22 trillion debt. we borrow $1 million a minute. not an hour. not a day. a minute to run government. right now, even before we added the illegal immigrants to the healthcare system, we are already "thelma & louise" in that car headed toward the cliff. i just found this bizarre. it's basically, the democratic position seems to be everything will be free. free education. free healthcare. free housing. free love. free kittens. i don't know. i just found it bizarre.nk

i don't know how they think we will pay for it. >> dan: i hate to h put out two friedman quotes but he said if you think it's free you think your neighbor is paying for us be the joke is he thinks the same thing. the joke is we're paying for us. on the senate side -- i won't ask you to talk about the house side. are they starting to feel the heat a little bit on the immigration issue? it appears that the democrats are for nothing. a big zero. they don't stand for anything on immigration to help the problem. but i saw this week, on this appropriation to ease conditions on the border, there were 84 votes. which says to me as an outsider, maybe you can clear it up and tell me if i'm wrong, they must feel heat on the democratic side saying hey, guys,s,be ladies, listen. we've gotta stand. when can't say no to everything all the time. am i reading this wrong? >> no, i think you are right, dan. i mean, for the longest time many members of the media and some of my democratic friends contended that we don't have a crisis at the border. we clearly do. we have 5,000 people a day coming in. and setting foot on american

soil. and under the law, as interpreted by some of our judges, we have to turn them loose to america. that is not a week. that is 5,000 folks a day. we have a huge humanitarian crisis. the senate, democrats and republicans, worked out an arrangement to stem the humanitarian crisis web, about $4.5 billion. speaker pelosi, to her credit, went along with us. i thank her for that. she got it right. once in ai row. now, she had to fight off the shadow speaker, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. but in terms of willing to fix the problem, look, we could fix this problem in two and a half weeks. by changing the asylum laws. and right now, as interpreted by our courts, all you have too do if you are coming from the south is step foot on american

soil, say the magic words, and you are turned loose in to the country and you are told come back to court in a couple of years. obviously, many people don't. this just makes no sense.e >> dan: i agree with you on that. >> but it could be fixed. >> dan: senator kennedy, n thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate your insights on that. i really appreciate it. deep state abuse in the 2016 election. the biggest power and corruption scandal in the nation's history. yet, it didn't come up once in last night's debate. we will tell you why that was d a huge mistake when sara carter, gregg jarrett, and congressman andy baker up next. ♪ at bass pro shops and cabela's during our new family summer event featuring free weekly skills workshops with crafts and backpack clips, plus games and activities, your adventure starts here. -motor? -it's pronounced "mo-tour."

♪ >> dan: welcome back to this special edition of "hannity." 2020 election. president trump is in japan for the g20.

he's attending a women's workforce session. if he says anything we'll bring it to you live this hour. switching gears, we are holding those who abuse power accountable, democrats and the partners in the media mob are continuing to fuel more mueller mania and impeachment fantasies. take a look at this. >> so, let me tell you. we need someone on our stage when it comes for that general election who knows how to recognize a rap sheet when they see it and prosecute the case. >> governor inslee? >> the biggest threat to the security of the united states is donald trump. [applause]etsehe >> a president who sought to obstruct the investigation in the invasion of our democracy. we must begin impeachment now so that we have the facts and the truth and we follow them as far as they go. >> dan: in the two nights of the democratic debates, there was not one question on the deep state, on fisa abuse, or use of the secret informant to spy on team trump.

your name enough reaction is a fox news correspondent sara carter, gregg jarrett, , ad congressman andy biggs. gregg, to you first. i think the mueller appearance on july 17 has potential to blow up spectacular in the democrats' face. >> it's a big mistake. >> dan: it's a huge mistake. one of the reasons is mueller report is written like an op-ed, not a serious legal document, and he leaves a lot of things out. one of them being, one of the contacts he elections is a russian carveout w for manafor. he was a source for the obama state department. interesting point to bring up. no? >> yeah. he either concealed it or deliberately tried to deceive the american public. and the same thing with the professor masoud. and george papadopoulos. he is not a russian agent at all and he works for british government probably. and, in turn, the americans, as well. he takes john dowd's telephone message, and he edits it down to misrepresent that. another place i found hees completely misrepresented and f

invented a conversation involving papadopoulos and masoud. he doesn't source it. he just made it up and plucked it from his own imagination. so the report is frankly disappointing in so many ways. it's disorganized. contradictory, inconsistent. and it is so schizophrenic you will get whiplash. it's almost a garbage document like the dossier. what is frustrating about it most of all are the things he doesn't look into. if he is looking into russian interference, how can you not look into hillary clinton paying for russian misinformation? >> dan: exactly. >> to interfere in the election. but there is none of that in there. or the dossier. there is nothing in there about glenn simpson and fusion g.p.s., all of them trying to interfere in the election by spreading russian information. >> dan: sara, i know you have

been on this case like white on rice. one thing that bothers me is the initial charter was to investigate russian interference in the election. and it's convenient he goes through the multiple pages to talk about the don trump jr. trump tower meeting with the russians but he fails to mention that the russian lawyer was working for company hired by hillary clinton. don't you think it is a key point to bring up?hi >> it's a huge point. so here you have a natalia veselnitskaya. the russian lawyer, she meets with glenn simpson of fusion gps the day before and the day after. the day after that meeting and glenn simpson is like no, we didn't discuss the trump tower meeting at all. so these are really significant questions that need to be answered. and let me tell you, dan. the biggest point here is we are hearing all kinds of rumors about what robert mueller will be testifying about, and how this is significant on the part of the democrats. this is total theater on the part of the democrats. because they are continuously, including andrew mccabe, who

has been on msnbc over and over again, who was basically thrown out of the fbi for lying and fired by then attorney general jeff sessions for being a liar. and the i.g. caught him lying multiple times and leaking information to thef media. this is how they are trying to keep disinformation alive. by holding a hearing which iske theatrical.in which is not going to resolve anything. and by the way, robert mueller really can't go outside the purview, and he shouldn't come outside the purview of his report. there is a lot of questions that need to be answered. as you said, i believe the republicans have the upper hand here. because they ask him questions that are very important, that he can answer. there are questions that he can't. but the democrats are trying to keep the rumor alive. it's just a rumor, and it's a lie. they have absolutely no evidence of anything otherwise they would have used it. >> dan: thanks to people like you, we know it's lies. great work. you, too, gregg. your book is just amazing. congressman biggs, you are up on the hill. t

are they committed to get answers from bob mueller? something that bothers me is not just that he leaves out the $500,000 payment to bill clinton, that is not in there. but also on the exculpatory evidence. donald trump told jim comey according to his own memos that he wants to end investigate people on the timo may have been involved in this, but that is d not in the report, by the way. >> no. it doesn't sound like obstruction. i think mr. mueller knew it, but his team was radicalized. don't forget, he had a radical team that was conducting the investigation. i don't know bob mueller from adam, but the reality is that mr. mueller put out a report that is not a legal brief at all. he should never have done it in the first place. second of all, it is basically an opinion piece. but what is going to happen, i think this is going to look a

lot like the hope hicks interview. that is, you democrats reading or asking her to read direct quotes from the mueller report. and hope hicks would say yeah, that was my statement. that is what you are going to get when the democrats go to mueller. you're not going to get anything new from the democrats. in fact, nadler has already said --ha chairman nadler has already said, hey, we will probably just have him read things. this is designed to keep up their narrative of something that happened, that there was an obstruction of justice, somehow, just like you heard in the debate last night, somehow the president is guilty of something. there is nothing here. and they know it. they can't get him on anything that is criminal, so they'rehe gonna attack and try to sully his name with the consistent rumors that they have been putting out from day one. >> dan: gregg, one of the key questions to ask bob mueller is when exactly did you find out this collusion obinwas a hoax? i mean, weissmann, his pitbull as they call him, he knew in

2016 that the dossier h had serious issues. when did mueller find that out? >> within months of his appointment. may 17, 2016.. in fact, john dowd, the president's lawyer, places it around november/december of 2017. and there was a meeting on march 5, 2018. a full year before the report comes out. in which, according to dowd, mueller admits that the president has no criminal exposure over collusion. so mr. mueller, why didn't you issue an interim report? isn't it true that you wanted to keep this going to influence unduly the 2018 interim elections? so that democrats could take over the house? and i think that is a legitimate question to ask. also, you know, mueller interviewed with the president the day before he took the job as special counsel, sitting in the oval office. isn't it true, mr. mueller, that you and the president actually discussed the reason

that comey was fired, which makes you a witness in our own case on the obstruction investigation? >> dan: sara, a quick last work word from you. she meets with the dossier, the guy in the interview, and the environment information is all garbage. is that going to come into play in the mueller hearing? that information she took notes on it and it's all discredited. do you think it comes up at all? >> absolutely. i think the republicans will swoop in on that and ask questions on that. i think this is significantly important. those emails, and those exchanges, and victoria newland, the state department, in which she knew, are going to come up. at that point in time, everybody knew, and they question this dossier, that was fed to us, basically, by a foreign intelligence officer from am i six, christopher steele, who tookm a ton of this information

from the russians. and now what we're discovering is people like joseph masoud was working with italian and british intelligence, and we are the ones working with them. now we need to ask john brennan, as well, what did you know, john brennan? how were you involved in this? where did the investigation begin? >> dan: brennan is in a world of trouble. the gang of eight briefing he gave, remember, there were notes on that. that information was only from steele. so he is in a world of trouble. sara, gregg, congressman bigg, thank you so much. you can see there, president trump is mingling with the foreign leaders. we are monitoring this for any developments. directly ahead, joe biden. an absolutely disastrous performance last night. that is an understatement. will it kill his chances at the nomination? will be here with analysis. stay tuned on this "hannity" special. ♪ my experience with usaa

that is what i opposed. >> it was a failure of state to integrate public schools in america. i was part of the second class to integrate berkeley,li california, public schools, almost two decades after brown v board of education. >> i'm the guy that extended the voting right act for 25 years. we got where we got 98 out of 98 votes in the senate doing it. i have argued very strongly we, in fact, deal with the notion of denying people to the ballot box and i agree everybody -- anyway. my time is up. i'm sorry. >> dan: biden also had an embarrassing motion when he said his first h issue of president would be to defeat donald trump. okey-doke. watch this. >> the first thing i would do is make sure that we defeat donald trump. period. >> dan: okay. joining us now is former congressman darrell issa, and doug schoen and john james. on the right, guys, thanks for

joining us. congressman, i'll go to you first. listen, that was i think by all measures disastrous performance last night. is this catastrophic or can he recover? i mean, i have been in a few debates myself, having run. it's early in the process. can he recover? >> he can always recover. biden finds himself after a new deal democrat famously said in a presidential race that he didn't leave the democratic party come the democratic party left me. that was ronald reagan. the problem that joe biden has, he hasn't stopped being a mainstream liberal democrat. the democratic party has moved so far to his left that it left him.ef >> dan: doug, listen, no one knows the democrat politics better than you. you candidly have been all over the problem harping on the identity politics over and over. this is a problem with it. it obviously becomes

cannibalistic at some point, where it starts to implode on itself. you see last night, that very same attack being used against joe biden. doug, quick question. no one believes biden is really a racist on the stage.e. they were clearly using that as a weapon to hurt him. >> you are right. this is cannibalism at his political worst. joe biden is a very good man. he sounded like he was well past his prime. i think kamala harris took him down, but i'm not sure she did a great deal to fundamentally help herself. the big winner last night candidly was president trump. because of the democratic chaos and division. >> dan: it was a lackluster performance for all. john james, congrats on your announcement. he did a great job last night. t listen, this is a very serious charge to lot at someone. granted, kamala harris phrased it "i'm not calling you a racist, but i'm going to insinuate you are.

there's nothing worse in america to be called. i thought biden, with such a heavy charge being lobbed at hi him, someone get this guy a call cup of coffee. fight back! >> everyone on the stage disqualified themselves. five people on the stage, half are the current legislators and they stood up on the stage and said they were going to throw future generations under the bus. they said they would fail to enforce the laws. they are in a position to our secure borders and get comprehensive immigration reform, and they are failing to do that. i have been all over the world and fought combat in baghdad, i have grown business if detroit. washington is the only place i can think of that you fail and can still ask american people for anlt promotion. i think that we can be good stewards and be compassionate without being bone-headed. i think everyone on the stage failed to meet that criteria. if you believe in what i just

said, go to johnjamesforsenate.com. >> dan: is there any way for the democrats to give the media environment where everything is on tape all the>f time to dial this back after the primary is over? we have candidates that are onn stage, actually, physically raising their hands. telling america we'll cancel your private healthcare. it's on tape. can they get back to the middle? back to the general? >> no, they can't. this is a michael dukakis moment. so to speak. for the older people in the audience. the fact is, we have been here before where our party goes way out to the left, thinking that they are somehow going to inspire people, rather than doing what the last turquoise democratic presidents that got second term's data.

because both bill clinton and barack obama -- i didn't like much of the liberal politics -- but they never talked as liberals. they talked as people who wanted to work together, and then they did liberal things. i think it is too late for these folks. as you saw, john delaney on one end and joe biden where the only people trying to talk as though they were running a general. and i'm going to come to my friend, joe biden's defense in one way. the first thing you have to do, if you're going to be the president and do that first thing after you are smart income is you've got to win back the election. nobody on that stage is going to win back the election based on last nights performance. >> dan: i don't who gave them the talking points, but the worst focus group in america told a bunch of democrats to lobby for illegal immigrants and canceling private health care in america. ridiculous. a nk thank you for your analysis. really appreciate it. when we come bark, democrats want no limit on abortion. hollywood loves it. we tell you why it not be good for dems in 2020 with kayleigh mcenany and kerry picket

♪ >> dan: welcome back to this "hannity" special, the 2020 election. this week's democrat presidential debates, radical democrats unleashed on the hot-button issue of abortion and peered watch their spirit let's notge also forget someone in the trans community, a trans female, is poor, doesn't mean they shouldn't have the right to exercise that right to choose. and so i absolutely would cover the right to have an abortion. >> i would make certain that every woman has access to the full range of reproductive health care services, and that includes birth control, it includes abortion, it includes everything for a woman.

>> first of all, let me tell you this. it didn't come up yet but let's say b this. medicare for all guaranteess. every woman in this country the right to have an abortion if she wants it. >> dan: meanwhile, hollywood liberals continue to prop up democratic: policies. legendary actor jon voight responded to a twitter attack from radical actress alyssa milano, who has been leading the call for hollywood to boycott georgia over its fetal heart beat abortion law. watch this. >> come after me. >> darling, alyssa, god bless you. i pray god sends his light of truth on all of those with noig truth about the republicans and about our president. may god bless america. >> dan: joining us now with the reaction is from 2020 campaign national press secretary kayleigh mcenany,

and "daily caller" reporter kerry picket.. alyssa milano criticizing jon voight. that is kind of a joke in and of itself. she was in "beverly hills chihuahua 2" and he won an academy award. i thought he handled it quite well. but my question is, does hollywood even matter anymore? it didn't help hillary in the 2016 election. >> no. hollywood doesn't matter. in fact, if anything, it's a curse for a candidate because everyday hardworking men and women look and say aaliyah alyssa milano is going to tell me what to do? she said women should have a sex strike because they want to keep a livingg baby with a heart beat alive. because of that bill, women everywhere should have a sex strike. women, everyday women, tune her out. she doesn't matter. nor does hollywood. they are a joke. please endorse the democratic nominee. as i'm sure they will. >> dan: i brought this on multiple times on the show tonight, what focus group has given the democrats the

absolutely awful advice that abortion up to the ninth month of pregnancy is a widow outside of maybe certainin enclaves in new york, california, and illinois? is absurd. what happened to safe, legal, and rare? it seemed to have gone out the window. o >> so true, dan. after the comments about postga birth abortions, democrats begad to get a little scared, they didn't want to talk about it, and they explicitly steered away from it during these debates paired however, and that doesn't mean a little crazy doesn't come out, particularly out of julian castro and the trans community being able to have abortions. i think they are not calling it reproductive justice. but still, they now want to repeal the hyde amendment, which means that federal taxpayer dollars would actually go towards abortions. they want to make sure that thet vilify all of these states that end up passing these heartbeat bills. still, you have a number of democrats who want to make sure they don't make t a the same me

another clinton made in 2016 when she saidhe she was in suppt abortion all the way up through the third trimester. >> dan: this cannot play well in the swing states here. you look at the one issue voters, people who vote on one issue. firearms, second amendment, and abortion. this won't look good for democrats when the primary is over, radicalism on abortion. w >> oh, you are right. this motivates the republican base immensely, but more than that, it motivates 85% of americans. if you look at who supports abortion passed in new york and celebrated with a standing ovation in the chamber and they lit one world trade pinkg in celebration, when you look at who supports this absurd, inhumane measure of killing a fully viable baby, it's about 15% or less. so they are motivating 85% of the american people when they do things like 19 times blocking a vote in the house for a keep-alive bill, keeping a baby alive outside the womb.

purportedly, those democrats agree with the governor of virginia that you can commit infanticide. this is sick. they are becoming 1% that supporters infanticide. >> dan: it's one thing to argue for choice. it's not really choice. it's not a choice for the infant in the womb. it's a whole other thing to argue for unlimited abortion. can they turn back from the primary and turn around in the general? >> no way. think about it. the whole idea of arguing the third trimester abortion on a national stage, the details of going into that, i don't see it. and, frankly, i only see democrats going away from it. >> dan: i agree. thanks. we appreciate it. you both were great. we'll be back with rush limbaugh's thoughts on the democratic debate. stay withh us. ♪ ♪ (music plays throughout)

rush limbaugh sounded off after watching the lackluster democrat debate wednesday night and listen to why he thinks onof the candidates have any shot at beating president trump. >> you would not have beenbe uplifted by one thing watching this debate last night. if you are a radical leftist you would not have been uplifted. you would have had your hatred verified and validated. and your anger verified and validated. there wasn't one candidate onwa that stage that lit it up. donald trump doesn't do what we saw last night. do you realize we've been spared on our side this kind of political chat, this kind of political cliche, conversation for 2 1/2 years. we got somebody that is actually real. who goes to the white house and just -- to the microphones and just speaks. >> unfortunately that's all the time we have left tonight. as always, thank you for joining us. if you liked tonight's show tune into my podcast the dan bongino show. join hannity next week and laura
