sean hannity. listen to his theme music and great hair. ♪ >> jason: welcome to the special edition of hannity, looking at live pictures from our nation's capital where protesters are threatening to tear down the statue of abraham lincoln and a freed. this is a monument that celebrates the emancipation proclamation. we will take you there live in just a moment. but first yesterday, president trump sat down with sean for a hannity town hall in green bay, wisconsin. here is part two of that interview where sean and the president are talking about biden's alleged corruption. >> corrupt job because you say

it better than anybody with the quid pro quo with his son. >> zero experience. >> can you imagine if i made that statement? he is on television, i guess he didn't know he was on or something but i'm looking at that tape. and the press, the media, the fake news media, and it is fake, it's terrible, they don't put it on. i say why don't you ever put that clip on? could you imagine if that were me instead of him? >> the clip you are referring to is joe biden bragging. i said fire the prosecutor we are not getting the billion dollars and you've got six hours. his son who has no experience in oil, gas, energy, or anything to do with ukraine was getting paid millions of dollars so in his words, they fired him and his son continue to make more money but there's also another who outlines as well in his book

$1.5 billion deal with no experience that i can find in private equity with the bank of china after flying with his father a week earlier. on>> jason: i know the mall, i said can somebody walk into china, walk out 10 minutes later with $1.5 million to manage where you get hundreds of thousands, for managing it and he said it's an impossibility, they don't do business that way. this young guy who didn't have a job, got thrown out of the military service didn't have a job for a number of years all of a sudden making millions of dollars a year. don't forget, ukraine paid him 83, deville is turning out to be 150,000 a month. they gave him 3 million up front, paying a lot of money. with this thing about? and the father as they are saying get rid of the prosecutor. you don't get rid of the prosecutor, forget it. was a $2 billion? you're not going to get it.

>> 1 billion. >> i never saw anything like this and you can't find that clip today. >> i have it. >> thank goodness we have sean. >> thank you. >> let me stay on joe biden. i think you'd agree with this statement and you're living it but i would say being the president of the united states of america is the hardest job in the world because the free world depends on the president. >> just to say, my job is made harder by phony witch hunts, by russia nonsense. i was tougher on russia than any president that's ever lived. no one has done what i've done exposing the pipeline deal going into europe, nobody did that and nobody even talked about it. i've been tougher on russia than anybody. and even our military. how about the fact that we've become the number one energy in the world through me and that's their primary business.

>> is the first time in 75 years we are energy independent. >> number one in the world. >> we have the election in 131 days, it's been 84 days since joe biden had to answer any questions. there's a lot going on in the world and i heard he might be making it out of his basement bunker today. it's interesting, terry mcauliffe said i'm fine with joe on the bunker. he only sees two people the day, his two body men and i'm thinking this question is fair. they asked it in 1984 about ronald reagan, and that is do you believe that joe biden has the strength, the stamina, the mental alertness, is that a nice way to say it? seems confused along, can't seem to under three sentences without looking down, does he have the strength that we would need in a president in your view? >> i can only say that i do it

20 hours a day and all over the place and everybody really says it and what i've done as it does take a lot of energy, it takes a lot of energy and if you don't have a lot of energy, not going to be a good president. up here really good, but you need a lot of energy. has to be coupled with a lot of other things. i don't want to comment on it, but we will see. the fact is that he was okay against bernie in the debate. he really was. surprised me. he was okay. in other debates, he was terrible. i thought he was out of it because he had those other debates where it was so bad, i said he is not a candidate, can't be a candidate, and he has something very unique. he didn't go down that much, went down a couple of points. instead of being out of it, he'd go down a little bit because they've known him for a long time and doing this for 47 years

or something. >> 50. >> long time. and what has he done? >> jason: as president trump just detailed, joe biden has a lot of issues that must be addressed. chief among them, biden is heavily influenced by the radical far left factions inside the democratic party. they keep pushing him further and further left and while the vice president all but ignored the anarchy taking hold in american cities, he is threatening if elected to use the federal government to force law-abiding americans to wear facial coverings whenever they leave their homes. this comes as the church restrictions put in place by new york governor andrew cuomo a new york city mayor bill de blasio were struck down by a federal court earlier today. joining us now with more is an american conservative union chairman matt schlapp, fox news contributor lisa boothe, and a former florida attorney general pam bondi appeared to think you all for joining us here tonight.

i wanted to start with you. i have exactly what joe biden from the federal government forced americans to wear a facial covering when they leave their home? how can that be done? >> perhaps it's because he believed that a third of our entire population had died from the covid disease. that was the first thing, but he comes in and tries to do away with every essence of our federal society, our laws, states have the right, local governments have the right to take care of the health, welfare, and safety of individuals. he could care less about that. where castro makes all school-age children where the pioneers are. with going to be next? banning guns? the first words out of his mouth are talking about making every american wear a mask and is going to be just like he said, that socialist agenda, bernie sanders, aoc, that's where he's headed, that's the

path america would be headed down with that man as president. >> jason: you just look at his record and what he had to do in order to get the nomination but normally, once you get the nomination, they go a little bit further to the center, but he hasn't gone further to the center, he seems to be even further to the left. >> that's right. at the acu, we have looked at all of his votes in the senate over the years. he's got a very left wing voting record, but the one characteristic over time is even on the issues, he has moved over time to be a captive of the radical left. he even voted against all the defense spending to take on the soviet union. he's been wrong on almost every national security question and i you come to this question of mandating certain things in this virus emergency. we have to get back to the words

of the constitution. i don't recall the question of a mask appearing anywhere in the constitution. he might believe it is good policy, but good policy should be legislated. shouldn't be dictated by the courts. joe biden is a captive of the left wing and the president is right. he becomes president, which i don't believe he will he is not really in charge because he's not really all they are. aoc, the radicals, the socialists will dictate everything. this is america versus socialism and we need donald trump to get a second term to stop all this. >> jason: you've seen with the vice president has done, the gap that happened on a daily if not hourly basis and then you see him taking these policy positions that are so radical, so foreign to what americans are used too. how does that play in the context of defunding the police which is where the left wants to go, how was i going to play out

in 2020? >> here is the thing. i don't necessarily think that joe biden is a progressive and the way that aoc is a progressive, but he's going to be the progressive's puppet, and we saw what matt pointed out with joe biden literally abandoning his opposition taxpayer-funded abortions, something he believed for decades within 24 hours of criticism, so of course he is going to be malleable to these progressives on the left to you pointed out want to defund the police. and that should terrify everyone watching right now because look around the country and look at what's happening in these liberal cities. these policies are getting people killed. you look at what happened in seattle, the mayor there she related and allowed an autonomous zone to be set up, someone got killed in other people got shot. you look at minneapolis, they have had 100 shootings since george white's death yet what does the city council do? they take steps to dismantle the

police department there and then you look at new york city, more shootings in june in new york city than they have in a quarter-century and what does bill de blasio do? he talks about the fact there's going to be very substantial cuts to the nypd budget. so not only are there policies literally putting american lives in danger. >> jason: it's amazing that you take 600 policemen under cover, take them away, and there's going to be a huge consequence. but i want to go to the church ruling that happened today shooting down really what the governor and the mayor of new york city were trying to do it and putting these restrictions on churches. give me your impression in your read on this is a former attorney general. >> judge sharp issued a great opinion today, and what he said is first of all, you can't infringe on our first amendment right. you can't, and the right to worship as one of our most basic rights. as well as the right to press,

first amendment right to speech, assemble, protest. so what they were doing, governor cuomo and mayor de blasio were out there endorsing these protests while simultaneously telling people they cannot gather in church. and that's what destroyed their argument. at the clear was that mast protests are more deserving of preferential treatment than churchgoers. that was a great opinion by the judge, and of course, they can't do that and encourage the protest and tell people they can't go to church at the same time. one back there was a real attack on churches in general and on religion that is going on as we approach this election. this is one ruling, but these things happen in other states as well. tell me what your perspective is as it relates to churches and the attacks on religion going into 2020. >> america was founded by people who wanted to come and exercise

and have free expression when it comes to their religious views. that's what america is all about. when you see these fascists on the left like governor cuomo, all of these blue state governors, they are trying to get between us and our constitutional rights. there is really a very clear wall in the first amendment about how we can exercise our religious freedoms like the attorney general just said. a religious freedoms, our ability to speak and assemble. when it comes to our religious views, the governor of virginia, the governor of new york, it's a very, very high bar they must reach to restrict it, and what bill barr has said great attorney general is that they can no longer say that there is a higher bar to walk into a church than there is to go buy marijuana or liquor or receive social services, and that's what's going on in society.

a fascist left-wing governors telling us what we can do and what we can't commit americans must stand up. the constitution is at stake. not so much our health, the health of our democracy. >> jason: ten seconds, your thought on this? >> we've already conceded so much control to the government and you see how they are taking advantage of it, bill de blasio dictating who gets to exercise their first amendment rights that should scare everyone as we go down a society that is becoming less tolerant of other ideologies and viewpoints so that should be concerning how someone like bill de blasio chooses to wield his power. >> and governor cuomo as well. matt, lisa, pam, thank you so much for joining us tonight. coming up, senator joni ernst of iowa has put forth a bill that would block federal funds from going to cities and states that allowed "autonomous stones." the senator joins us next to be

>> jason: welcome back to the special edition of hannity. tonight, the lawlessness on the left is spiraling out of control. at the minneapolis city council

is now officially moving ahead with their plans to dismantle their police department. the city council voted to replace the police with a department of community safety and violence prevention, which would provide a "holistic public health oriented approach, whatever that means. meanwhile, one neighborhood in minneapolis that vowed not to use police is now facing the scourge of a 300 plus person homeless encampment and in new york city, the police commissioner has issued a dire warning, the criminal justice system is imploding, and violent crime is on the rise. so just how bad is it going to get as some on the far left continue to push efforts to defund the police? joining us now with reaction, civil rights attorney leo terrel and fox news contributor ted williams. i want to start with you here. come on. his is really the way we are going to do this?

one of the definitions in the city council in minneapolis said the head of this new department, the holistic one have nonlaw enforcement experience. that's what they're looking for, somebody who has nonlaw enforcement experience to replace the police department, really? >> let me tell you right now, they have hijacked the democratic party. i know about the democratic playbook, play the race card and ignore black on black crime. in seattle, they claim they are dismantling the police department because of excessive force against people of color. there is more black on black crime than police misconduct against black individuals. they have used the george floyd case, a horrible case to dismantle police, and what is happening is democratic cities throughout america, the most ridiculous thing is that they claim there is systemic discrimination in democratic cities where the people of color run the government. i will pay any mayor and any of

these democratic cities to debate made to establish systemic discrimination in chicago, baltimore, atlanta, or l.a. is impossible. but they play the race card when they are ignoring the black on black crime which is the number one killer of black men. >> jason: you look at chicago, that is certainly one of the factors. what is your reaction to what leo is saying? >> no civilized society can survive without public safety. public safety is threatened when you talk about disbanding or defunding of police department. who are you going to call, ghostbusters when someone is going into your home? there was a criminal element out here that is trying to do us harm. but there is another side to this, and that is that police officers must be held accountable. i was just listening earlier to

the case of a young kid, elijah mclean out in colorado who was going home who was stopped by law enforcement officers. they got on top of him. he started vomiting. they took him to the hospital and as he was going to the hospital, he died of a heart attack. so we cannot excuse the fact that there are some bad police officers out here, but we also must realize that there are a lot of excellent police officers out here who are trying to do their job serving and protecting the members of their communiti communities. >> let me just make this point. this is very important. 98% of the officers are great, great. they protect us had two or three in the morning and here's the irony of this whole situation. means caring about all black lives. i have a family member who is black and law enforcement. as her life matter, she is out protecting black people and white folks so my point is this, you can't have it both ways, black lives matter, because they

were black folks representing law enforcement but yet he were saying dismantle the police. doesn't make sense. black officers, white officers protect. >> leo, you are right. doesn't make sense, but i can tell you that there are a lot of black men and women who are saying that they were abused by police officers and they died as a result of that abuse. we've got to look at this, got to look at both sides of this picture. >> what is happening is this, the democrats have used racism as a political tool. i have sued police departments for 25 years. happens, but it is not systemic. there is not institutional racism within police departments. this is not 1960. we don't have george wallace. this is all a hoax to raise money for it that's it is by democrats. >> jason: i've got to tell

you, law enforcement needs to know that we love them and we care for them and if somebody steps out of line, they need to help us to call out those people but i'm telling you, when you need help like i've needed help in my life from time to time, you dial 1911, you are begging for those police officers to come and those families need to know that we love and care for them and we appreciate what they're doing. thank you so much for joining us tonight. democrats are eager to make washington, d.c., the 51st state, but republicans are calling it a power grab. congressman andy biggs and debbie lesko joined me next to react. later, shawna recently sat down with the former hig house speaker newt gingrich to talk at why this is one of the most important elections in modern history. stay with

>> jason: democrats announce our representative today passed

a bill proving d.c. statehood as part of their larger effort to have the democratic stronghold bolster the number of democrats in congress. now, this obvious political stunt is being panned by republicans as a shameless power grab and is dead on arrival in the united states senate. but that's not stopping democrats like maxine waters from doubling down and falsely suggesting that opposition is somehow racially motivated. watch this. >> make no mistake. race underlies every argument and denying its citizens equal participation and representation is a racial, democratic, and economic injustice we cannot tolerate. >> jason: giving democrats to more senators, a representative in the house of representatives. joining now for reaction, g.o.p. house lawmakers, congressman andy biggs and congresswoman

debbie lesko, thank you both for joining us here tonight. let me start with you, was there any consideration to the united states constitution, and it never even come up with the democrats talk about this? >> of course not. this is just another example. on radical bills that they keep passing out of that house. just yesterday, they passed a bill that was undermining police so they couldn't do their job, they want to give $1200 payments to legal immigrants, they want to give free health care to illegal immigrants. these are all bills that they've passed out of the house and the democrats control the house, the senate, and the presidency after november, all of that stuff would be the law of the land, so i hope our listeners are listening to that. that's why this election matte

matters. >> jason: the reason i was opposed to it when i was in congress is it's against the constitution, the constitution clearly spells this out. but there was no consideration of that today in the debate, was there? >> not at all, jason. you are exactly right. and if they really were sincere, they would've sent a resolution to send this to the people for a constitutional amendment as opposed to ratification by the states instead of doing what they did today which is simply a bill, and you are correct. is less than that in some ways because it is merely pandering. they know it doesn't mean anything other than to summon their base that are interested in this, and it's really a shame that if they try to manipulate the constitution this way. >> jason: i want to ask you, most people don't realize this, but washington, d.c., goes through the facade of electing shadow -- they literally call it

shadow senators that are prepared to take their seats at the united states senate every moment. so washington, d.c., has a homeless problem, how do they fund this, they have all these issues to deal with. meanwhile, they have office space for shadow senators, and they are not really addressing the real core problems that are actually facing the city. >> you're absolutely right and in the bill, it said that the mayor of washington, d.c., would be the governor of this new state. can you imagine mayor bowser being the governor? can't even run her own city. there is homelessness, schools are not performing well, now there was looting, writing, didn't even want to help president trump defend national monuments. this would be a total disaster, and it is just another one of these radical bills that the democrats are pushing through even though they know it is not going to pass on the senate, at

least not yet. we can't let the senate be taken over by democrats and certainly not the presidency. >> jason: quickly, only about 30 seconds, your reaction. >> if they really are concerned about getting a right to vote in federal elections and getting electoral votes, they can do what they did in 1847 and gave some of that land back to virginia and getting some of this land that is remaining back to maryland and keep the federal district in and of itself. so there are options there. >> jason: that's exactly right, retro seed to maryland, congressman biggs, thank you so much for joining us, which we had more time but coming up next this week, spoke with newt gingrich about why this election is one of the most important in all of modern history. he won't want to miss this. stay with us.

great problems of our time. newt spoke with sean earlier this week to discuss the impacts of the selection and how it could fundamentally change america. have a look. >> we were talking on the radio this week talking about how we first met in 1990 and you are doing a speech in decatur, alabama, and you came on in our history is the night you took back congress from republicans for the first time in 40 years. i know we say it a lot, and it's been true, but not as true as it is now. i believe if joe biden, the socialist agenda, the new green deal foreign policy is implemented, america becomes unrecognizable, and i don't think there's a way to recover. that's how crucial this election is. >> this is the most important election since abraham lincoln

in 1860. that's a long time, but i don't think it's just biden, it's the machine of biden, pelosi, and schumer. with the three of them would do the minute they had real power. they would do everything they could in the very first year to turn america to california to impose left-wing values on all of our schools to reinforce and it would be a truly catastrophic election outcome if you ended up with biden with pelosi and schumer in charge of america. >> i don't think we see growth numbers this fast based on the

economy shutting down but we are seeing them, so let's assume we have half of the recovery which would be unprecedented job growth in this country and one of the great american comeback success stories. let's assume that some of these deep state operatives that plotted against donald trump are probably indicted. let's assume that joe biden at some point has to come out of his basement and i know that's going to hurt terry mccullough who was fine for him to stay down there forever and he's actually going to have to talk and explain his record and i don't think he is going to do particularly well, but that's just me looking into my little crystal ball. how does this election fall out in your view? it's hard, you've got to win florida, ohio, north carolina, georgia, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan. you've got to literally run the table if you're a republican.

>> i don't think so. i've been active as you know for a very long time. i lived through the '84 campaign, was an activist congressman in san francisco at the democratic convention for walter mondale, a series of these things. was with george h.w. bush when he was behind by 19 points, that was in may, beat by eight points in november which meant one out of every four americans switch their vote in that period. so i think one or two things is going to happen. trump makes a reasonable economic recovery, not back to where we were, but moving in that direction, and if he draws a clear contrast not just with biden but with pelosi, schumer, and biden as a machine, that is

much scarier at that point, i don't think it will be close. i think we will win by a huge margin. >> i am going to cling to your help because it is nothing but the future of our whole republic at stake, nothing serious. congratulations on the book. >> thank you. >> jason: more of the spepepepee
