tv   Hannity  FOX News  March 4, 2020 6:00pm-7:00pm PST

6:00 pm
buy, it as does. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity and smugness and group think, and there is a lot of it out there. have a great great night with the ones you love. sean hannity takes over. >> sean: there is a long list of enemies, no doubt about it. tonight the president of the united states, donald j trump will join us live for an exclusive interview. we will cover the latest from the 2020 election, the coronavirus and so much more. we begin went to what is a shocking statement from the senate minority leader chuck schumer and what can be described as rage-filled speech, schumer apparently issued a violent threat to two u.s. supreme court justices prior to a ruling on an abortion case. take a look. >> i want to tell you gore such, i want to tell you kavanaugh, you have released the whirl wind and you will pay the price.
6:01 pm
you won't know what hit you if you go forward with those awful decisions. >> you, supreme court justices, co-equal branches of government, okay, three branches, you will pay the prize, you won't know what hit you. that sounds like pretty violent threat to me. and breaking moments ago and pretty unprecedented statement, the chief justice of the u.s. try e supreme court has responded brighting, joe, justices know that criticism comes with the territory but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous he's right. meanwhile, the president tweeted, quote, this is a direct and dangerous threat to the u.s. supreme court by schumer. if a republican did this, he or she would be arrested or impeached. serious action must be taken. even lawrence tribe, well-known constitutional lawyer but a trump hater, called the comments
6:02 pm
inexcuesable. for the most part the silence on the left in this country would be deafening. i doubt that would be the case if the president said it schumer's office is in full, complete spin mode but the threats were clear and unambiguous, threatening justices of the supreme. here with more is fox legal analyst greg jarrett. no way to spin this, you will pay the prize, you won't know what -- the price, you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these decisions. i thought we had independent, co-equal branches of government, what i do know. >> chief justice roberts is absolutely correct, these are threatening statements and they are dangerous. the question is they are criminal. there are three criminal classes, criminal threats, intimidation and insightment, all of them have one thing in common there has to be threats of physical violence and bodily
6:03 pm
injury. if you look closely at schumer's words, he steps right up to that line but doesn't step over it. it is especially dangerous, as the chief justice pointed out because it is in front of a crowd that is already angry and enraged in front of the u.s. supreme court it could easily and tragically be misinterpreted by some triggering or provoking and encouraging violence. so the answer here is probably not a criminal charge against schumer but rather the senate ought to take action of censure, expulsion requires two-thirds majority, but censure is a simple majority, and there ought to be a resolution of censure against chuck schumer because the words are, indeed, threatening statements and they are dangerous. >> sean: you will pay the price, you will not know what hit you. i think it sounds like threat to me. thank you for that analysis.
6:04 pm
buckle up, the ratcle extreme socialist democratic party is now barreling towards a convention two dualing frontrunners, a 78-year-old communist, murdering dictator loving wack job from vermont verse as 77-year-old corrupt career politician with frankly a very questionable grip on reality tonight. mike bloomberg's campaign is officially over after what is the most embarrassing performance on a super tuesday imaginable. farmer mike spent nearly $600 million, won only one contest, american samoa, a victory for mini mike the farmer. all told, he paid at least $5 million for each delegate. money can buy a lot of things but not personality or charismao down as one of the worst candidates to run for the u.s. presidency. and a habitual liar, elizabeth
6:05 pm
warren is having an awful night, did not win a single state. placed third in her home state of massachusetts. still, that the hour is refusing to get out of the race. holding on to the one in 1,024 odds she could win the nomination. a life pattern of hers. quid pro quo joe with a slight lead over belshevek bernie, many seemed to miss the big single negative impact for bernie sanders. in the two-weeks prior to this super tuesday, bernie's never ending effusive praise of mass murdering communist dictator ships is likely lee what pushed many radical socialist democrats, late deciders, towards joe biden. this is likely the biggest reason. every democratic incouncilmember bent that is running now, biden, especially, they pretty much all want the same things, bolchevik
6:06 pm
bernie, and checked thousands and even democrats, they could not for that they no point but to circle the wags around a very frail, obviously struggling quid pro quo joe biden. endorsed joe biden, amy klobuchar, mayor pete and beto o'rourke. he is a train wreck candidate. before coming back to life in something is the biden campaign was dead, gone and buries for one simple ren, he is an awful candidate there serious issues perk heating around quid pro quo joe. not a doctor, not going to perform any armchair psychology
6:07 pm
but as i've been saying if the 78-year-old democrat ever had a fast ball, even slow pitch it seems to be long gone. the daily gasp, the weird outbursts, the public memory lances are beyond troublesome. once said he was have not in 2018, confused margaret thatcher for theresa may on multiple occasions. mixed up vermont and new hampshire, missed up houston and el paso for michigan and ohio and numerous other state disasters. at times he seems not to even remember what day it is. oh, super thursday oh, tuesday. last week i called our own crest wallace chuck todd. at the end of the victory speech last night, he got his sister and wife confused in another embarrassing moment for his campaign. >> by the way, this is my little sister valerie and this is joe's husband. you switched on me. this is my wife and this is my
6:08 pm
sister. they switched on me. >> i will give credit to jill biden and her quicks efforts to protect her husband in one of the campaign ads it was absolutely commendable. where is the secret service, he is a former. have, he is a presidential candidate, he needs better protection. and it is a long and grueling campaign, slip ups happen to anybody. this is now a pattern of daily embarrassing gaffes that is only getting worse and worse and worse and this is the more recent stuff. take a look. >> my name is joe biden, i am a democratic candidate for the united states senate. 150 million people have been killed since 2007. oh, jack, thank you very much. >> all right, it's chris, but anyway. >> i just did chris. >> look, tomorrow is super thursday -- tuesday, and i want to thank you all. i tell you what, i'm rushing ahead, aren't i. all men and women created -- you
6:09 pm
know the thing, you know how we talk about it are we the people. >> it is obvious the strategy of the media mob that support all things democratic social east and the democrat party, they act like this doesn't exist. as a vote ter is fair to ask whether this 78-year-old has the strength, the stamina, the focus and capacity to handle what is by far the toughest job in the world. for me, quid pro quo we could is in a rapid state of decline and not up to the regularrers needed on a campaign. it is also fair to ask what is someone as corrupt as quid pro quo joe do with the most powerful position in the country. this is a campaign issue. we know his son, zero experience hunter, got paid millions of dollars sitting on the board of a corrupt oil and gas company named burisma holdings. quid pro quo joe was the
6:10 pm
official point person on all thicks ukraine, and yes, zero experience hunter had no experience. we know that quid pro quo joe leveraged a million in u.s. tax dollars, that is right, a billion in u.s. tax dollars to force ukraine to fire the person investigating his son. we know that burisma is now, as of today, facing a widespread independent investigation in ukraine by the prosecutor general. a real investigation. we also note u.s. senate, led by senator ron johnson, there is an investigation into burisma going often there we know hunter biden's burisma play-off is one of many degrees where a member of the biden family traded access to quid pro quo joe in exchange for cold, hard cash this will be, whether they like to or not, a major campaign issue, especially in regards to the attacks on donald trump who didn't have a quid pro quo. do you want to reward this kind of behavior or drain the swamp,
6:11 pm
that lab choice you will decide in 244-days. also, don't forget joe 30330 has a horrific track record he will have to defend. of course that will include the disas russ iranian nuclear deal that will include their anemic economy that will include the failure of obama care, that americans, was the promise fulfilled? you did keep your doctor? you did keep your plan? the average family saved 2500 be per family, per year. of course not. millions of american lost their doctors. millions lost their plans. almost 40% of the country right now has but one obama care exchange option and on average most americans, thanks to obama care, biden care, whatever you want to call turk are paying almost 300% more. while quid pro quo isn't going around and praising communist dictator ships and murderous
6:12 pm
dictator ships, he is promising to raise your tacks. supports the new green deal, supports open borders and amnesty and promised that beto bozo o'rourke would be in charge of gun policy who even criticized the for the enacting a temporary travel badge in record time china back in early february. at that time what did joe biden say in? he accused the president of being xeno phobic wheel he was trying to protect the health of the american people. keep in mind there is another track record with biden and obama. they never imposed a travel ban in the h1n1 out break on their watch starting in april of 2009. by the weak obama had one official declare an emergency, i declared an emergency six-months later, 1,000 americans were killed. another 20,000 contracted the disease and were hospitalized. ultimately, we forget pan dem he
6:13 pm
cans happen, sadly in this country. but in 2009 and 2010, we lost 17,000 americans in that pandemic. and he's clearly learned nothing. ultimately, whether it is quid pro quo joe our boshevik bernie in contention, we're facing what will be the single greatest can choice election in our lifetime. for centuries the people of this great country have used what are inalienable rights, life, lint, freedom to create, to innovate, to prosper, like no other civilization in history. as my friend barry farber said there no country, no country on the history of this planet that accumulated more power and abused it less than this country. i add to that, no country about the but the united states has accumulated more power in the history of man kind and used that power that freedom that innovation advance the human condition. that will be on the ballot in 244-days. the very basis for that success,
6:14 pm
freedom is at stake. but, we have some very good news on that front. you will only here on hannity. despite facing a virtually uncontested primary as an incumbent, the turnout for president donald trump is breaking record after record. look at these numbers. i haven't seen moan reported, he has received more votes in vermont, minnesota and massachusetts than any incumbent president in the last four decades in colorado, republican turnout for president trump yesterday was greater than the past three republican primaries combined. look at the state of texas. yesterday, president trump received more votes in an uncontested primary than bernie sanders, joe biden and elizabeth warren combined. last night we saw similar results in every single state. voter enthusiasm for the president has never been higher. hasn't been higher tore any incumbent president in modern history. the empty join us in mere moments. first, the very latest from the
6:15 pm
coronavirus out break our own dr. mark seaga see segal, i knot of fears set in with people. look at the 2009, 2010 h1n1 swine flu out break they never had a travel ban, never quarantined americans. that hasn't happened in decades. donald trump did it in three-weeks and was criticized for it. >> that's right, sean. viruses know no borders or boundaries, this is a time to come together and public hotel to pry yum over partisan bickering, right? unfortunately, to many democrats, led by senator schumer have used the opportunity to once again bash the president, you mention red stricted travel china as soon as until investigation of the virus came out. president trump in a team lehmaner appointed a very capable task force, the most thoughtful and least hysterical i've seen in the years of
6:16 pm
covering health areas. the ahh secretary, the brilliant infectious disease expert who you've had on the show here, and cdc director, they all bring unprecedented calm stewardship of isolating and quarantining when necessary. despite the fact that joe biden bashes the choice of vice president pence to lead the feet against the disease, nevertheless, pence, too adds further calm resolve, pushing the cdc to provide the test kids i need as a physician to assure my patients they don't have the coronavirus or if they do have it, to isolate them. instead of supporting the president, effective, call them the anti-fear monger in chief, instead schumer and others mock his request for billions in fund and they demand more money just to try to show him up.
quote
6:17 pm
that's not the way to fight a virus would bernie sanders' medicare for all work that pay for the innovative vaccines and medicines we need defeat the coronavirus? i don't think did we see this media and hysteria and presidential if i canner pointing in the h1n1 swine flu or the ebola fumbling when obama was president? no, we did. the president and his team are doing a great job. >> thank you. when you think about it, viruses, they don't diskrimm neat between republicans and democrats, liberals and conservative, you would think that is something we can get along on. the president put that warn mean effect, we didn't know it was corona until january 7 of this year. he had a travel ban in place january 31. i think the democrats were in et middle of impeachment. the president of the united
6:18 pm
states, 45th president, donald j trump, thank you for being with us, sir. >> hello, sean. >> i want to tell you gorsuch, kavanaugh, you have released the whirl wind, you will pay the prize, you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions. you heard from the chief justice today that sounds like threat to me. your reaction. >> well, first of all let me start beseeing dr. segal i thought was terrific tonight and i really appreciate the words, i have a lot of respect for him, he is a real professional. as far as schumer is concerned, it was terrible thing he said. i was amazed by it and if that were a republican you would see really bad things happening it is very unequal justice. and it is a disgrace that he was able to say something like that. he wasn't shielded by the halls of congress like schiff was when he lied about my phone call where he made up a phone call and gave it in congress and you
6:19 pm
immediately say, good, we'll take it to court but he's got immunity because he is talking in congress. so it was a fake phone call, he just totally made it up, his speech, and it was disgraceful. enthusiasm did it outside on the streets in front of a rough crowd so it was disgrace to the u.s. supreme court and to the senate. >> my analysis of last night, in the lead up it seemed the media ignored, this bernie sanders was again doubling down on supporting one murderous dictatorship regime after another. it seems like there is not a whole lot of policy differences between the candidates, maybe mike bloomberg was an exception, on issues but supporting murdering dictator ships i would argue is a tipping point. your reaction to that and do you think that impacted last night and your reaction over all to last night. >> i don't know what impacted last night. i think elizabeth warren, did
6:20 pm
terribly last night but this she would hav bernie sanders would e gotten those votes he would have won texas, minnesota, massachusetts. so lend warren really, what she did -- elizabeth war remember, really what she did, others left and dropped out and supported joe biden and that really helped. now, joe didn't work that out but somebody in that group worked it out that was smart, but joe would never be able to do that. but i will say, this bernie sanders, if he were able to convince elizabeth warren to endorse him or even to just drop out because she is doing terribly, he would have won a large number of the states that he lost last night. >> there are a lot of issues that i see, i know that people are acting perhaps as though it doesn't exist. joe biden is beyond a gaffe
6:21 pm
machine, i would argue the toughest job in the world your job, to be the president of the united states, leading the world. you need strength, stamina, focus, the ability to react in real time. what do you make of these numerous gaffes are joe biden? >> well, look, i don't want to be too critical, i've never seen anything like it, to be honest, and i'm sure that the democrats are saying the same thing. but they would rather have him than bernie, and bernie doesn't make too many gaffes but bernie has his own difficulties. but the way they push, you know, the media is all on their side, when i say all, all but a little bit, including yourselves and some of the folks on fox. some of the folks around. you have some great people, you have rush, who is doing i hear really well, much better, and mark levin. we have a lot of support.
6:22 pm
you would be amazed, we have a lot of support. the great lou dobbs, so many people are supporters out of just our fox news, which, you know, i have my own little difficults with, if you want to know the truth. they put people on i think are inappropriate and say very, very false things and people don't challenge them. i think they're trying to be very politically correct or fair and balanced, right is term. but i think they hurt themselves, if you want to know the truth. >> mr. president, i have not seen this reported much, the turnout for you has been record breaking, and that goes starting back with iowa, new hampshire. last night you received more votes in vermont, minnesota and massachusetts than any incumbent in the last four decades in colorado, republican turnout four last night, uncontested primary, greater than the past three republican primaries combined. in texas you received more votes
6:23 pm
last night than bernie sanders, joe biden and liz warren combined and we're seeing similar results in every state. how do you interpret that. >> well, i appreciate you saying that. i've heard those numbers, i've not read them in any immediate i can't recollect i don't read those numbers because they don't tell us those numbers but the people get it. the people are genius. the people are brilliant in so many ways, they get it, but you don't read those numbers. those numbers are not broadcast for the most part. i've never seen them, i heard them, heard that we broke records all over the please and never once have i seen it and i'm pretty good with the media, i see a lot of the media, what is going on. i haven't read it or seen it. >> i like to pride ourselves on this program giving news and information they ignore. let me ask you, we now know that there is a corruption issue and there is an investigation officially in the country of ukraine as it relates to joe biden, who said you got session hours, you're not getting the
6:24 pm
billion unless you fire the prosecutor, investigating my inexperienced son hunter being paid millions. after all you went through and now see ron johnson in the senate and ukraine investigating this issue and then the other countries such as china, writes about it in great detail that hunter, again, no experience, making tons of money. it has to be a campaign issue. how do you plan to tuesday or to you plan to use it? >> well to show you how crazy it it is not a campaign issue for the democrats, they don't want to bring it up, they were told you can't bring tha up, so evene that were against, if you look at joke they are against joe, don't want to bring that up. that was off bounds. reporters say it was unsubstantiated, we're sorry to even ask you a request. and anderson cooper asks a question that is so mild, a
6:25 pm
ridiculous answer was given because there is no answer, of course it is corrupt so give as really bad answer and ge to the next question, nobody says anything. 9 other people running trying to beat them don't bring it up. that wouldn't happen with the republicans, i can tell you. not saying good bad or indifferent but that wouldn't happen with the republicans. that will be a major issue in the campaign, i will bring that up all the time because i don't see anyway out. for them, i don't see how they can answer those questions. i hope they can, he prefer it that they can but i don't believe they will be able to answer those questions. that was purely corrupt. >> any thoughts in your mind why you think barack obama has not endorsed his. have of 8-years. >> i would say he didn't think comake, it didn't think he had a shot at it. he is dealing with people that didn't rate the highest on the
6:26 pm
political scale. i know everybody and i will look at even the party, i know people that are democrats that are far above what you're watching. i watched one night and i looked at the cast of characters, i said this is a 350 million people and that is the best we can, do i don't think so. i will tell you, i know some democrats that would blow all of those democrats away. but they didn't run, maybe they didn't want to run against me. i heard that, maybe it is true, maybe it is not, makes me feel good but they're going to wait for another four-years. but you have some democrats that are very impressive. this is not a group that i think was very impressive at all. >> mr. president, joe biden has a record. he served as. have for agent years that record would include the iranian deal that record would include how they reacted and responded with the h1n1 virus, i will get to that in more detail in a minute.
6:27 pm
that record would include 13 more million americans after 8-years on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty, the lowest labor participation ritzinesses the 70s, lower home ownership rate everyone since the 40s and that would include the accumulation of more debt than all 43 presidents before obama/biden combined. your record, how do you compare. >> what i think we've done is unprecedented. the largest tax cuts in history, trade deals all over the please. they're going to start kicking in fairly soon. unfortunately, by the time to the election they will just be partially kicked in but the teal with china, $250 billion a year, the deal with japan and it is a partial deal, i'll go back and get bigger even, but it is 40 billion a year. the deal with south korea, the u.s.-mexico deal, the u.s. -can
6:28 pm
u.s. -canada deal, the usmca combined, one of the biggest deals. the deal with china is in that seam category. incredible thing. we've rebuilt the military, taken care of our vets. we've got choice. nobody thought we were going to get choice. they've been trying to get chose for over 40-years, veteran's choice. a veteran, if they can't see a doctor quickly check to a private doctor and we pay the bill. it is a great thing for our country and veterans much we have accountability if our veterans are treated badly, treated horribly, say we had sadists in the va, all sorts of problems, they have as, you couldn't do a thing, couldn't fire anybody, i got accountability passed which is not easy because much unions and civil service and all of the reasons that everybody would understand very easily, we got that passed. they've been trying to get that for many, many decades.
6:29 pm
what we've done is unprecedented. nobody has done more in the first three-years than we have. environmentally, we have the cleanest air, cleanest water. thary is as clean or cleaner than it has ever been, and yet we're not spending trillions of dollars giving it to foreign countries under the paris' cord, you see what is happening with france and you see the problems they have because of it and they're just trying to take our wealth that whole group. so a lot of things are happening. our economy is doing fantastically, we got hit with the coronavirus and that was out of surprise. i started hearing about it very quietly a couple of months ago from china, and i said, i hope that donald happen over over here. it got a little bit more and a little bit more and bigger. against theories of a lot of great professionals, frackly that work with the administration and outside he closed the borders to china and that is with we have a very
6:30 pm
small number of people that we have to really worry about and lot of things have happened that have been very fortunate. but i closed the borders against theories of a lot of people and it turned out to be a very wise decision, otherwise we would have had, you know, a lot of people coming in during that course of a number of weeks so we're doing great job. a great group. mike pence doing a great job, put him in charge of the group. we have the greatest doctors in the world. and we're helping other country, we would help iran if they wanted, they're let's ver hit v, but we're helping a lot of other countries. >> mr. president, i have the timeline and unfortunately these pan dem he cans pop up, -- pandemics pop up, unfortunately people die from the flu every year. the medical professionals and science cysts rise to the
6:31 pm
occasion all the time. i'll get to h1n1 and biden/obama, how they reacted. the w.h.o. identified on december 30 there was a virus with pneumonia like symptoms. it was january 7 when they labeled it the coronavirus. i want to go to your decision of january 31 that was a travel ban that joe biden says was xeno phobic on your part and cnn said it might stigmatize people from countries but you took an added step that wasn't common countries and that was quarantines americans coming back from the region. that was about three-weeks after we first identified the virus. you're saying people recommended you not do this, and why and why did you go with that so quickly. what was your rationale at the time? >> well, he would say everybody said it is too early too soon, and good people, you know, brilliant people in many ways, doctors and lawyers and frankly
6:32 pm
a lot of people that work on this stuff almost exclusively and they said don't do it. and may theory was that you know, we take a lot of people in and china was being hit hard at this time, by that time, we started reading a little bit more about it, it wasn't something that was going to affect us. you don't think of it in term us when first heard it in china, you don't think our country is going to be affected, and i thought it was a wise thing to do. again, we stopped tremendous numbers of people coming in from china and then we worked on a whole warty system which worked out very well. one of the things we, did the numbers are small when you talk around 100 people but we brought in approximately 40 people from a ship, they're americans but they were on a them, you know all about that, we brought them in i knew when i bring them in made light numbers get higher -- immediately the numbers get higher. we're talking about very small numbers in our country, very,
6:33 pm
very small, because of what we did with the borders. i brought in actually, approximately 40, a little bit more than that from outside because they're americans, we had to take nowhere, and i felt we had to do it. one way, i healthed to do, it statistically, from the stand point of coming in, is it going to look bad. he wasn't worried about the other people camping it so much because the warnties are good and set up, a lot of people are getting better and we will be releasing them. when people are better, we release them and reduce our numbers, so we've been doing really well. it does have a big impact on older people and people that aren't well, and it has very little impact on young people, especially very young people, which is interesting. much less so than a lot of other infections or viruses. so we've learned a lot, we're learning a lot right now.
6:34 pm
but older people like the nursing home in washington, the state of washington, has been very heavily affected. the people are much older and many of them are not very well. >> i know, it is fun yes you say that because the h1n1 virus, that was a pandemic in 2009 and '10, interestingly in the obama and biden years, we lost around 17,000 americans. the cdc estimates are we lost 200 to 500,000 lives world weed. in that case, children were more at risk with the h1n1 pandemic. a doctor who i've watched for years, he is a great scientist, he's been very cautious and you know has said this could become another pandemic, likely experienced in '09 and 2010, it might be as long as a year before we ultimately get a vaccine. there are 20 specific vaccines
Check
6:35 pm
presently in development. you have said that you are evaluating on a daily basis. for those americans that might be fearful tonight am talking about potential down the road we will close down schools and maybe more telecommuting working situations, what do you say to them based ons that develops what are we prepared as country tto do to keep our citizens saf. >> it is a very, very small number compared in this country. the h1n1 was commonly referred to as swine flu and that went from around april of apts 09 to april of '10 where there were 60 million cases of swine flu and you had over, actually is over 13,000 i you might have said 17, i heard it was 13, but a lot of deaths and they didn't do anything about it. interestingly, with the swine
6:36 pm
flu, children were in particular vulnerable, sort of the opposite in that respect but children were very vulnerable to the swine flu. but they never did close the borders, they never had a travel ban and we is and they lost at at least 13,000, could be as high as 17,000 people. they reacted much differently, then, i watch biden try and criticize us but i don't think he knows what he is criticizing. he watches schumer, every time they pit a mec in his face, hears no idea what and ande and incredible job. but that's his answer, no matter what you ask him, how do you like the deal in china? oh, excellent it saying they took away tariffs, no they may us a tar he have of 25% on 250 billion. he didn't want the tariffs.
6:37 pm
then, all of the sudden when he thinks they were taken away, but we didn't take them away, just the opposite. it was rather incredible we didn't take them away but that's the way it is. we're getting along well with china. president xi who i speak with, president xi is working very, very hard in china. they have a big problem but their numbers have gotten much better with respect to the coronavirus. very much better. >> there are a couple of economic indicators and markets tend to be skiddish though it really wasn't during the h1n1 swine flu period which is interesting to me but they seem to be adjusting an accepting that all the can be done is being done. we have some economic numbers just out. u.s. committee service second grew in february at the fastest pace in a year. cnbc report on adp, their job report, that the economy adding jobs in february, despite the
6:38 pm
coronavirus scare as private payrolls expanded. they are seeing employment, excluding government jobs, rose by 183,000 for the month. expect maybe a short-term very down at all in the committee as a result of the virus and maybe, of course it is a global committee, china, the impact on china's committee in particular. >> i think we're just doing very well, it is a very interesting, you know, for years you've known me and i'm saying keep it within the borders a little bit more, make our own medicines here and we've already started that long before i heard about this, before we knew about the coronavirus. but i've started it, but i've been a big person for let's keep it a little bit inside, i'm not a globalist, i like our country to do well and i'm certainly interested in the globe, we're working with them to help them
6:39 pm
in a lot of different ways, including the virus that we're talking about right now. i'm saying stay here. people are actually staying here. that's okay, let some time go by and they're staying here. if they want they can travel and they're going to safe countries. he met with the top airline executives, top people in virtually every major airline today in this country, and they're very aware of it and they're ending fleets to certain areas of italy -- flights to certain years of italy that have been hit hard, not the whole country but certain areas. and china, very big in terms of china. so a lot of things are happening, and frankly, if people want to sen special their money in the united states instead of travel agency broad, that is great. numbers are coming out well. the consumer in the united states is unbelievably strong,
6:40 pm
stronger than ever before, i believe. the european union is not doing well. parts of asia and china not doing well, and we're doing great. so i think we're going to be in great shape. and this will go and this will pass and working on vaccines right now, we're working on therapeutic measures and working at a lot of things. i was with some of the greatest doctors in the world in the last two-days and they're saying what they can do today. it is incredible what they're doing and able to do, and they can do it much faster so we're getting very good ideas and i think you can have things happening pretty quickly. >> you extended your travel ban, met with the pharmaceutical companies in the country. he understand you're going down it atlanta to meet the cdc leadership. you have.

6:41 pm
have mikepense at the helm for running this task force, it could get worse and at teams we meet have to take more severe safety measures. we have the global death rate as 3.4 president and a report the olympics could be delayed. your reaction to that. >> i think the 3.4% is a false number. now, this is just my hunch, but peaced and lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this and it is very mild. they will get better very rapidly, they don't even see a interest or call doctor, you never hear about those people so you can put them down in the category, the over all population in terms of this corona flu, or virus. so you just can't do that. so if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to
Check
6:42 pm
work, some of them go to work, but they get better and then, when you do have a death like you had in the state of washington, like you had one in california, i believe you had one in new york, you know, all of a sudden it seems like three or 4%, which is a very high number, opposed to a fraction of 1%. , but again, they don't know about the easy cases because the easy cases don't go to the hospital, they don't report to doctors or the hospital in many cases so i think that that number is very high. i think the number, personally, i would say the number is way under 1%. with the regular flu, we average from 27,000 to 77,000 deaths a year. who would think that. i never knew that until session or eight-weeks ago, i asked that question, how many people die of the flu. you keep hearing about flu shot, flu shot, take your flu shot but how many people die of the flu. so we lose between 27,000 and,
6:43 pm
you know, somewhere in the70s, i think we went as high as 100,000 people died in 1990, if you can believe that but a lot much people regardless, i think it averages about 36,000 people a year. i said, wow, that is a percentage that is under 1% substantially. it is interesting to see what that differen difference is, a f people don't report because they get the coronavirus and get better relatively quickly, not that severe. >> what do you say about the politics if you kale terrorist named solomani, number one state sponsored terrorist in iran, the guy leading those terrorist efforts, a miracle with our intelligence, 99% of good intelligence officials that tracked him down a baghdad airport, knowing he was in a commercial airport, they could have shot down the plane but we care about human life and they
6:44 pm
indicated nel waindicate waitedn the ground. you don't get a lot of support, we can agree the until it is nonbe diskrim diskrimm neating,e attacked for it. xenoaphobe, stigmatizing countries. i assume your best intension to protect the american people. >> the democrats weaponize everything we do if they did it they would be hailing it, but do they weaponize it. they know what a great job we're doing, they know we have the best in the world and we've really shown it.
6:45 pm
even when you look at the small numbers in this country, they're very, very small. we have a very large country to put it mildly and a great country, by the way, and it is getting greater all the time. they weaponized the virus against us and they will just say, even though they have no facts or just we don't like the job they're doing, it is just off the cuff, like a natural reflex, and it is not good especially it is not good with something like them they can say it about certain things but this one everybody has to pull together. not all democrats have done that. lately i notice it has gotten a lot less, i would say 50% less, but the same, the bad ones. the shimmers and others, -- schumers and others they will always say no matter how good do you, if you found a cure and everything disappeared in 24-hours, they would say you did a terrible job. that is unfortunate for the country, and we live with it and here i am in the white house, i'm president and they're not, sort of an amazing. >> in 244-days the american
6:46 pm
people are the ultimate justify re. go back to the election for a second. it was very lega early on when bloomberg got in the race. he said you're wasting your money. why did his campaign not catch on. >> once he debated, he was in trouble, that's not his thing. he has very bad political instinct. he is surrounded by people that i know, in some cases, i know pretty well, they're losers. he is really surrounded by losers but they become winner because they ripped off for a lot of money, really took him to the careen cleaners. some of these guys are third rate, and the longer he goes, the more money they make. they knew it was not for him.
6:47 pm
i thought the strategy was incredible when the dnc wouldn't let him into the debates. he should have kept this that way. i don't think he could have won but he would have done much better. he did really badly. today he said i'm going to support joe biden, and that's okay. that's fine. i don't know how you can do it, how does campaign finance laws, how do they let you do that. he couldn't get out fast enough. he with a on the debate, a very mean person, you can ask bernie sanders because what she has done to him is terrible, but when elizabeth warren went after him, get me off this stage fast. he got beat up very badly by elizabeth warren, it was so bad that was the end of him. right there he was under able to
6:48 pm
recover from the debate performance, especially the first one. >> are you convinced now it i biden's to lose? i think so, but john ho i don'tw he gets there. he was always gaffe prone, false trouble in that way but never like this. if they think he can do better with bernie, they have less control over bernie. he was surprised when bernie good beaten up last team he went out and endorsed hellery and went around and -- like good puppy like you're supposed to do, i was little surprised at. that even this time, saying about how wonderful joe biden is a wonderful guy, wonderful man and i'm a little bit surprised by it, it is almost like -- i
6:49 pm
don't know if he is admitted defeat, he might be, i watched him yesterday, a little while ago saying very good things about sleepy joe biden and i was a little bit surprised. >> let me ask you, in 2016, you had about 8% of the african-american vote. we've carried a lot of your rallies, as you point out in every appearance that you have record low unemployment now for african-americans, hispanic americans, asian americans, we will in the work please, youth unemployment, african-american youth unmobility. he can cite you polls with african-american support for donald trump anywhere from 16 to 34.5%. one case 33%. another case 32%. do you think that these -- why duke thesdo you think these appl ratings demly have shifted, one, and two, will that translate to votes in 244-days? >> it should translate but i think one of the reasons is criminal just test reform, i is
6:50 pm
it, nobody else could have done it. we got some great republican senators that maybe weren't so inclined and i explained it to them and they were really great. i sawal less johnson today she recollects was in jail 22-years and had another 20 to go. there was a crime that, you know, she admitted she did a mistake, but she was in there for it, was like a life sentence for something that somebody else would have been given six-months to a year for or a very small number. she is a great woman and i said you have other people just like you, alice, just like you. she said, yes there other people. i actually let three out them all came to the office today, great to see them. but i think that criminal just test reform, we got that, i got that, the democrats did not get it i got it. they will probably at some point try and take credit but they couldn't do it. again, this was a biden/obama law that was, this was
6:51 pm
obviously, it was really a hillary, this was a bill clinton and hillary and it was, i guess biden was a senator then and pushing it hard. obama was somebody said he was talking about it but he had to be pretty young, if that was the case. but this was horrible thing. so criminal justice reform, scott, a great senator and great senator from south carolina and he came to my office, talked about opportunity zones and mastiff amounts of money is being poured into areas they haven't seen in decades and jobs and people be doing well, hispanic americans are doing incredibly of lowest black unemployment rate, if you look now, the black community has the
6:52 pm
lowest unmoment rate in the history of our country. the hispanic american lowest unemployment rate in the history of our country. asian, lowest in the history of our country. we will the lowest in 71-years. so many things are happening, it is true, we're having rallies now with black young leaders who are unbelievable people. they will come to the white house and have rallies news different stills and trump it is the first team they've really been helped. the democrats say cater to them a month before an' alexander and then they leave and don't -- an election and then they leave and don't a thing for them. i think criminal justice reform and opportunity zones, it is incredible. what kim scott did with opportunity zones is incredible and how well it worked. but the end result is the lowest unemployment rate and i think
6:53 pm
people see that strongly. >> there is a lot of support for historically black colleges in the country you can as well. let me ask you this: >> the historically black colleges, he get to know the deans and top people when they come, i am at or about here more than three-years, they come trying to get money. every two or three-years i say why do you have to come back, they say we always have to come back, we feel like beggars coming to the white house bigs for money. i said we shouldn't have to do that and i got them long-term financing for the historically black rejs an colleges and univ. such an incredible group of people and incredible and important function, and it is a very large, you know, you're talking about millions of people are educated and taken care of and it is really something good, but they don't have to do that.
6:54 pm
they don't have to come back. i said i'll miss you people not coming up to see me, i'll miss you guys, you gals, not coming up to see me every year, but i don't think they could be any more thankful, they don't have to bother now, they don't have to do that. >> when you instituted your travel ban on january 31, we identified coronavirus on january 7 and the quarantine, it was in the middle of your impeachment. james comey, all of your rallies you say this should never happen to any future president, you fired james comey. we know all about the dirty russian dossier that was never verifiable, the top of a fisa warm says verified we now know it has been debunked, hillary paid for it and bill the basis for the violations to take away carter page's rights and more importantly it was used to spy on you, and the attorney general
6:55 pm
confirmed this, to spy on you as a candidate, a in his words, deep into your presidency. i know that we've had the inspector general weigh in now we have the durham barr investigation going forward. without crossing into territory that i assume is different, how does this -- how do we prevent something like this ever happening. i am a big believer, we need fisa, we need to trust means with these powerful tools because we've got a lot of enemies in this world but it raises questions if it is turned on the american people or a presidential candidate or a president. >> well, they weaponized fisa and used it horrible yes and comb gentlemen a very bad guide and you have other very bad people at the top. the f.b.i., the people in the f.b.i. are incredible. i'll bet if they did a study, if you took a vote, i would have a vast, vast, vast majority, they are incredible people. but the top people, the people
6:56 pm
that headed it between comey and mccabe and strzok and his lover, lisa page, the whole group, a bad group. that is my opinion and a very strong opinion and we will see how bad it was. it was a terrible thing and a lot of very innocent people were hurt. >> i think we have a dishonest media. in 2007 and 2008 we will said journalism measure is dead. i'm proud of the ensemble cast we build, we tore apart the espionage act and classified top secret information on hillary's subpoena and deleted e-mails and the dossier, we've been vindicated with the inspector general report. and i guess, i never thought that this could happen in measure, but the media got it wrong. russia, russia, ukraine, ukraine and that's been lot to go
6:57 pm
through. >> it has, but they knew it was wrong and they knew they were wrong and the whole thing, this' why i call it the fake news for that and many other reasons but it is fake news. so. of it is fake and knowingly fake. and they knew that was wrong, they knew the first day it should have never happened, but i went through it, i did it and you think of it after millions they spend, millions and millions of dollars and at the end had unlimited resources, no collusion, somebody said you're the cleanest person in the country. but it was a disgrace. a lot of people were hurt and hurt badly. let's see what happens going forward. >> all right, mr. president, you've been very generous with your timism know you're doing a town hall on fox here tomorrow with pretty and martha, questions from the american people, we'll look forward to watching that. you're always generous with your time, we like to get the state of the campaign, credit, a lot going on. thank you for your time. >> thank you very much, sean.
6:58 pm
thank you. >> thank you. joining us, quick reaction to the interview is co congressman chase and fox news contributor chafe its chaffetz. >> we can reform the fisa process so this never happens to anyone again, the president has been a fantastic advocate for that reform. >> congressman chaffetz. >>ishouldn't call you congressm, that's going backwards, you are now a fox news contributor, not a congressman like matt, he aspires to be you. >> i'm still reforming, absolutely. donald trump is stronger politically than he's ever been. promised made, promises kept. i don't care who the democrats
6:59 pm
put up, donald trump son a trajectory to win another four-years and the country will be better for it. >> matt, do you think it is biden and how does this way break down? i think he has issues of corruption to worry about, a record that is not that great and i don't understand with these gaffes, i think it is problematic for him. >> democrats have been speed dating everyone from war trone bernie and joe biden. i'm glad we're back to bide because he is the leader of a real movement. biden is the consolation please because they were unable to get anything going for anyone running. donald trump is the future. >> jason it s it biden? >> it probably system the majority of people in virginia vote ford biden, this t shows the swamp wants biden and i think they will make it happen.
7:00 pm
>> thank you as always for being with us. we're always fair and balanced, not indict troy trump media mob, let not your heart be >> laura: hannity come i thought you were going to trash through the studio. i thought you were in town, i was waiting at the door, and it is just raymond. >> sean: invitation, whenever i am in d.c., in the swamp, i get to you and get away from the swamp creatures. >> laura: we left the door open. hannity just interviewed the president. and its raymond standing there. not that i don't want raymond to come. sorry, raymond. >> laura: raymond is her number one best guest. >> laura: he's awesome, next to you. i am dying to get your take on last night. >> laura: i can't wait, hannity. it is hillary 2.0, except not quite as functional. we are going to talk about that tonight. you had a great show. all
