>> tucker: if you are right, i'll be impressed. dana perino great to see you. weekdays at 2:00 p.m. we are out of time, we hope you have the best evening. shelter from the ongoing storm, sean hannity is right >> sean: welcome to "hannity." tonight we are at a tipping point. everything that is exceptional, everything that's great about this country, the greatest country god gave man, our united states of america, i tell you tonight it's in jeopardy. in 118 days, guess what, you're the ultimate jury and the very way of life that we cherish in many ways is at stake. i will give a long explanation. everything we value and cherish like capitalism, liberty, freedom, the constitution, the rule of law hangs in the balance because the most extreme radical socialist democrats are planning, and they are saying it, to fundamentally transform and change america.

they want to dismantle capitalism. they want to abolish the police. that would eliminate all law and order and safety and security. the very corrupt, very frail joe biden is controlled by these radicals. he is weak. he is often confused. he's easily manipulated, and now he's showing his true colors, and he will say and he will do anything he is told to do and say to win at all costs. breaking tonight: look at this. the biden-sanders socialist unity task force, well, they just released, oh, basically the platform of bernie sanders and they are proposing the dnc platform and it reads like, well, a radical socialist wish list. as president biden, he would grant citizenship to 11 million illegal immigrants. he would turn the entire country into the united sanctuary states of america. he would block i.c.e. from deporting even criminals in jail. biden would redistribute your money because of something we

call environmental justice and of course the insane green new deal that he supports. get this. biden's task force actually copied bernie sanders' platform in multiple sections word for word. so in other words, biden also calls for universal health care through a public option. get this. he would eliminate cash bail for prisoners. that's working so well in new york, right? rob a bank. get out, rob another. get out, rob another. anarchist. get out, rob another, get back to the anarchy. right, joe, that's doing great in new york. that's madness, insanity and it does not protect the people in america's towns and cities. today during an interview with the far left website now this news, joe biden even stated the police, ready for this, have become the enemy. biden also said he's absolutely on board with defunding the police. listen closely.

>> surplus military, and for law enforcement, they don't need that. the last thing you need is a armored humvee coming into a neighborhood like the military invading. they don't know anybody. they become the enemy. they are supposed to be protecting these people. so my generic point is that -- >> we can agree that we can redirect some of the funding? >> yes, absolutely. one of the things we also need to be doing is fundamentally changing the way, and i've been pushing it for years, changing the way we deal with our prison system. >> sean: remember, it was only a month ago biden rejected calls to defund the police. he did it in an op-ed and it just one month for biden to cave to the radicals of his party, if he even wrote or the loan remembers the topic of his own op-ed. instead of moving to the center for the general election, he is now regurgitating the hard left talking points from the extreme socialists who are among his top advisors, like bernie sanders and ocasio-cortez. need more evidence, because today biden also vowed to rewrite our economy. just like he said over the

weekend he would transform america, whatever that means. take a look. >> we are going to have a breathtaking opportunity to create good paying union jobs, deliver the promise of america to americans who've been denied it for much too long. to rewrite our economy. so that prosperity flows not just to ceos but to workers who actually build the country. >> sean: rewrite the economy. socialist utopia. transform america. police are the enemy. defund the police. let me translate this for you. biden is talking about socialism, just like bernie, just like elizabeth warren, probably even worse than just like congresswoman ocasio-cortez. now we know what he meant when he said to transform america. that will be raising your taxes. it will be confiscation of wealth. that will be control of the means of production wherever possible and the elimination of the lifeblood of the world economy, oil and gas, and this

is now the mission of the democratic extreme socialist party. this is what they want. this is what they are saying they are going to do. that is the proposal the biden-bernie unity socialist task force and biden who rarely leaves his own house, seemingly always in the state of confusion, well, he's a perfect candidate for these radicals because they will control him obviously. biden couldn't even remember what he was talking about while even apparently reading from the teleprompter. oh, this is taking me too long. take a look at this. >> i believe this with every fiber in my being. what i propose is... it can be done. i think we are in a position to really make it happen. my team and your team are already working closely together to light up the path forward here. critical laws to strengthen collective bargaining. on politics like prevailing. look, yes, i'm -- i'm taking too much time.

>> sean: i propose that -- i propose. this is taking too long. do i have to keep explaining something that i don't even know what it is? we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal by the thing, you know. the thing. god, the creator of everything. that's brutal. that's actually hard to watch. does this man have the strength, the stamina, the mental acuity to take on what is the toughest job by far in the world? the answer to me is obviously no. frankly it's no to anybody with clear eyes that can see. the media once literally asked those very questions of ronald reagan in 1984. are they going to ask the same to biden? no, i don't think so because the mob and the media is treating biden like a fragile precious little artifact. new york "toilet paper" times actually calling for biden, mark levin has been saying it. rush has been saying this.

i've been saying it. not to debate president trump. we know who will be in charge if biden wins in november. combined experience. biden, pelosi, schumer, 125 years in the swamp in d.c. trump less than four. they are fully controlled by their radical base. socialist will control the messaging. they will control the platform. they will control the strategy. they will control the ideas. they will try to literally transform america. if we become that socialist utopia, 94 trillion new green deal, 52 trillion medicare for all. guess what. those will all be broken promises and everything is free and no oil and gas to produce anything. we see this already happening in the house of representatives. the squad has introduced a bill to defund the police and, by the way, handout reparations. in a press conference yesterday, congresswoman omar said that her goal was to dismantle the united states. take a look at this.

>> we must recognize that the systems of oppression are linked as long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out. we will perpetuate this inequality. so we cannot stop at criminal justice system. we must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression. >> sean: she's not the only elected official on the left openly calling for america to be destroyed. listen to this scary message from one of seattle's city council members. take a look. >> we are coming from this deeply oppressive, racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism, this police state. we cannot and will not stop until we overthrow it and replace it with a world based instead on solidarity, genuine

democracy, and equality. a socialist world. >> sean: there is no middle ground. the new radical democratic socialist party. they will destabilize not only this country but the entire world along with it. abolishing the police, you know the ones that protect grandma, grandpa, mom and dad. and let see, young moms that have kids at home, maybe the father is working. then they will see control over your property, money, business all in the name of fairness and redistribution and by the way to create their perfect utopia. the only problem is everywhere socialism in whatever form it's been tried has also failed. don't fall for these empty promises of everything is free because there's something called simple, basic, fundamental math. and maybe joe could put aside his abacus and actually calculator out and figure out that, let me be clear, socialism always will end in misery and despair, always and also they will take away your freedom in the process in the name of false

security. he was more from the trump organization, donald trump jr. i never thought i'd be giving this list of proposals in the united states of america. don jr. >> man, sean, i don't even know what to tell you. you see this and what's even scarier is you see the media just running cover. for the last three weeks, they were telling us well, defund the police doesn't actually mean defund the police. it means something a lot different than that. and then aoc literally puts out a press release saying no, no, no. defund the police means defund the police. believe someone when they tell you who they are. okay, that is what the far left has become. there is no rationale anymore. it's clearly gone way beyond racism at this point because, you know, i don't see lincoln and grant as members of the confederacy unless i slept through that part of american history growing up. they've lost their minds. they have lost their way, and

the radical left entirely controls joe biden of the party and let's not kid ourselves. i think you pointed it out more than clearly. no one believes joe biden is going to ever actually be the guy in charge of peoples this thing off, do they? >> sean: listen, don, he is saying the police have become the enemy. absolutely. he said we should defund them. i don't know who's going to protect the innocent american people. we see carnage and violence rising in every major city. then he's talking, he couldn't even remember his own words in his own teleprompter. oh, i'm taking too long anyway. why do i have to read this? too much effort. then he goes a little bit further. we lost 809 cops. they filed for retirement. he says he wants to transform the country. i guess this is division. he adopted bernie sanders' agenda. >> he said 120 million americans died from covid. the reality is joe biden doesn't know where he is. it's not even fiction anymore.

on a daily basis he forgets what he is. he confuses his wife and his sister. he forgets the office he's running for. if donald trump did anyone of those things, sean, every television psychologist would be on the airwaves nonstop saying he's way past his prime. he is in the later stages of alzheimer's and dementia combined and yet with joe biden, there's nothing to see here, folks. let's not pretend. it would be sad if it wasn't so scary, sean, that this could be the guy that's actually in charge. again, the left will really be in charge but this guy could be a guy sitting the presidency. that should be scary to everyone. everyone watching should be scared that this nonsense is going to come to their hometown. it's not just happening in inner cities. it's happening everywhere, and the radical left will allow and will frankly perpetuate it with all of the nonsense they are pushing. >> sean: imagine if, like schumer, pelosi, biden, hillary, bill, that your dad had praised

the former klansman robert byrd. imagine if your dad had used the term racial jungle and was worried that his children will grow up in a racial jungle of integration didn't happen in this orderly way that he talked about. imagine if your father had said i don't feel responsible. i'll be damned if i feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago regarding reparations. imagine if your dad talked about, you know, people becoming predators the way he did with the crime bill. imagine any of these things happening, or his antibusing agenda or his position on integration and segregation. >> well, 100%. there is a lot of talk these days about privilege. i hear about it nonstop. the one privilege they don't talk about his liberal privilege. joe biden can do all of those things. he can say all of those things. he can flip-flop for his entire 50 year swamp career and still pretend he somehow man of the people. he's never really worked with the people.

he'd only been a washington, d.c., bureaucrat. but that's a privilege they are not willing to talk about because it conveniently cuts against the left's narrative today. >> sean: all right, don jr., thank you as always. we appreciate your time. thanks for being with us. no secret why violent crime is spiraling out of control in america's major cities. democratic rule in these cities and states has been an utter, unmitigated disaster, has been for a long time. in many cases police now have completely abandoned -- been abandoned by city leaders. protections have been stripped and funding taken away. in recent weeks, good and decent police officers, they have been treated like pariahs by the very elected officials they protect. according to bozo beto o'rourke, the violence is being caused by a republican death cult. they have lost it. take a look. >> these are the same people who want us to accept that more people, including more children, will die of gun violence this year in america than in any other developed country

bar none. it's just the price of quote-unquote freedom. we have tacitly accepted it, this historic, tragic level of gun violence in america continues to rise. we saw just over the weekend. many american cities, it's the same kind of difficult mentality that asked us to accept one quarter, 25% of the world covid cases. >> sean: the guy who wants to take your guns. not going to have police. he doesn't want you to have guns. he wants you to get them back. let's be clear. for many democrats the end goal is not accountability. it's not reform. it's not nonlethal, let's say, training for police officers, new weaponry that's nonlethal. instead the goal is abolish the police and take away the guns of law-abiding citizens like bozo o'rourke talked about when he was running and joe was partnered with him too. don't take my word for it. listen to a leader from the group black lives matter. take a listen. >> one of the things that we are

demanding is defunding over five years to complete abolition. we don't want to see any police in our community over the course of the five years. five years gives time for the community to begin to build what is needed instead of police so that we are not looking to leave any kind of vacancy around the issue of safety. >> sean: build what? as the far left governments in cities and states, blue states all across the country, these activist, yeah, they are working hard to illuminate the police. well, that's not going to end well. those results are all too predictable. you don't need to be an mit or harvard graduate to figure it out. new york city, according to the pba, look at this. since may, 809 officers have filed for retirement because of the massive surge. the nypd is now having to limit retirement applications. what? you can't retire now, even

though your time has come? to top that off, there's reportedly no new police academy for the foreseeable future. they did cut a billion dollars from the nypd just recently. nypd is shrinking. chaos is out of control. violence is way up. 100% spike in violent crime and according to the nypd all of july's shootings to date, the victims have been minorities. in june, 97% of shooting victims were minorities. their lives matter, comrade de blasio. you are not helping them. in los angeles, investigations are underway into what they call a blue flu. police calling out en masse. they don't want to show up to work. there have been similar reports out of atlanta where the mayor there, keisha bottoms, remember she just like seattle surrendered a part of her city to a group of armed gunmen. these armed individuals, well, they wanted to create their own police free zone near the wendy's where the rayshard brooks incident occurred.

look at your screen. remember this, it happened live on this program. steve harrigan capturing the so-called police free zone right here on "hannity." now in unidentified gunman from the zone is a person of interest in the murder of this 8-year-old, again, america's children. america's treasure, secoriea turner. she was in a car with her mother that -- literally near that burned out wendy's, when a man opened fire on the car. she was 8 years old. beautiful little girl. by the way, mayor bottoms, this happened in part because of your horrific leadership. you prevented the police from restoring law and order and safety and security. that little girl is now dead. that is beyond, you know, forgivable to me. it's a national disgrace this keeps happening. atlanta's mayor is no better than her far left counterpart in seattle, mayor durkan. just a short time ago, durkan allowed the chop, chaz, summer of love zone to fester until, what, two african-american

teenagers were murdered, including horace lorenzo anderson jr. who, by the way, we will get an update on all of this from his father who will join us later in the program. what we are now witnessing play out in city after city is what happens when lawlessness reigns supreme and law enforcement is vilified. now at 118 days, this is the kind of chaos, this is the type of carnage the democrats could bring nationwide. in other words, a preview of coming attractions, and the only people that can stop this are you, the american people. joining us now with reaction, former u.n. ambassador, former governor nikki haley of the great state of south carolina, nikki haley. he never thought i would be debating these issues or reporting on these issues. welcome back to the program. >> thanks, sean. it's concerning that this goes to the heart of a couple things. at the u.n., i saw what made america special and what separated us from other countries was the rule of law. it's what allows us quality of

life. it's what allows us our freedom. the second part of this is how this goes to the heart of the credibility of the black lives matter movement. yes, we think black lives matter. but the reason their credibility is breaking right now is they are picking and choosing which lives really do matter. why don't the black police officers that have been shot or have been chastised, why don't their life matter? how about the black store owner whose business burned down? his life matters. what about the families who are in threatened areas that need law enforcement to keep them safe? what about those six children that died over the weekend? those black lives matter. so why are we picking and choosing which ones matter? they are losing credibility in this movement. you know, i know about dirty cops. in south carolina, we had to deal with the shooting of walter scott. we brought law enforcement together. we brought the scott family

together, and we passed the first body camera bill in the country. that protected victims from being abused. it protected law enforcement officers so that they weren't compared to dirty cops. if they really want results, this is not how you do it. you don't get rid of police. you bring them together. there are a whole lot more good cops than there are bad cops. i'm telling you, if they want to turn into venezuela, defund the police. that's what will happen to america. >> sean: joe, pelosi, and schumer have been there 125 years. donald trump less than four years. okay, barack and joe, they didn't pass police reform after ferguson or after baltimore or all these other high-profile incidents. they didn't give us criminal justice reform. they didn't give us opportunity zones. they didn't give us, you know, the biggest largest commitment to the longest period of time for historically black colleges. nor did they shatter record after record after record low unemployment for every

demographic group in the country, especially minorities in america. joe and barack never did that. the added 13 million americans to food stamps and put 8 million more in poverty and give us the lowest labor participation rate since the '70s, so joe hasn't been asked a single question about any of this. now they are trying to weasel out of a debate. >> look, i mean, we've had true results with president trump. you don't have to like him but look at the results that he's done and raise the quality of life are so many people. then look at the results of biden with president obama. the african-american community, women, hispanics, none of us felt those results like we have with president trump. so facts matter. results matter. there's no question if you put these side-by-side, if we go with a president biden, we will lose our rule of law. we will have the progressives really running away with everything, getting all of what

they want, and we will get closer and closer to these socialist countries that we have fought so hard not to become. >> sean: these are all the false promises of socialism. that's it. it will destroy the greatest wealth creating system in the world that, again, we have used our power, our liberty and our freedoms to advance the human condition worldwide. that will all die with it. nikki haley, thank you. when we come back, truly shocking report. congresswoman omar and how much she reportedly paid her husband's consulting firm, well, the mob will ignore this. trace gallagher won't. senator lindsey graham weighing in on the let's push the defund the police effort and what it would do to every city, every town in america. none of it predictably would work out well. straight ahead. busy news night. ♪ guys, times are tough.

>> when congresswoman ilhan omar was accused of having an affair with a political consultant, omar vehemently denied it. now she and mynett are married and the new york post says omar continuous funneling money to her new husband's political consulting firm. in fact, records show that since 2018 omar has paid more than $878,000 including $189,000 just a few months ago. the federal election commission allows lawmakers to hire their spouse, but political experts and ethics lawyers call it political cronyism at its finest. ilhan omar isn't just tim mynett's new wife. she is his firm's biggest customer and at one point, one in every three of ilhan omar's campaign dollars was going to mynett's firm. sean. >> sean: trace, thank you, just like i've been saying, defining the police, demonizing the police officers will only inflict more pain, more suffering on our most vulnerable communities.

it will be devastating and destroy america's cities and it will spread to other towns and other cities and other states. joining us now, senator lindsey graham echoing that sentiment earlier today tweeting "the biggest loser from any effort to defund the police will be the poorest and most crime-ridden neighborhoods throughout the country." law, order, safety, security. this is all on the ballot in 118 days. a vote for a blue wave is a vote for a crime wave in the far left is building a war chest to bring all this lawlessness from major cities to your front door. senator graham's democratic challenger raised, they say, $14 million in the second quarter of this year. well, where is all that money coming from? where's the money coming from, senator graham? >> every liberal you can imagine. nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, hillary clinton, rosie o'donnell, barbra streisand. i must be doing something right if all these people want to beat

me. >> sean: i guess. now let's look at what this new alliance, what biden says he want to transform the country. his comments about the police. they become the enemy? absolutely should defund them. reallocate the resources. well, that sounds to me like the 125 years of failure of schumer, pelosi, and biden, how's that going to work out for the country if, in fact, they win in 118 days? >> well, i tell you something right now. if you're looking for place to come where none of this crazy stuff will happen, come to south carolina. we are not going to defund the police. we are not going to destroy capitalism. we're going to let you work hard and the harder you work the better you do in south carolina but what i'm going to do is take the mob's bill, the squad's bill, and i'm going to introduce it and ask everybody in the senate to vote on it. when joe biden means transform the country, what do you mean, joe? if you're with them?

if you're not, tell me how you're different. every democratic senator, what do you think about defunding the police? if you are with the squad, if you're not, tell them why. we need to vote about it not just talk about it on cable tv. that's vote on their ideas and see where the senate is. >> sean: the senate has the power to do that, don't they, lindsey? >> i think so. i want to introduce a bill that i will gladly -- i wouldn't introduce a bill. these people that you talked about, the squad, for lack of a better word, will destroy the country. where's the democratic party? has one member of the united states senate stood up and said this is nuts? has any democratic senators stood up and said it's crazy to defund the police? it's crazy to destroy free enterprise and replace it with socialism. they are silent because they are afraid. chuck schumer won't say a damn thing because he's afraid aoc is going to run against him so chuck schumer needs to vote on aoc's work product. >> sean: joe biden has

embraced sanders, ocasio-cortez, the new green deal, some version of medicare for all. amnesty, sanctuary cities, sanctuary states, higher taxes. redistribution, eliminating oil and gas. in 180 days, the american people decide on all this, lindsey. i look at maps like you do and you want to win and you're a republican and you want to be president, you've got to win florida. you've got to win georgia, north carolina, your state, south carolina. you've got to win ohio. then you got to pick up wisconsin, michigan, may be minnesota, certainly pennsylvania. you've got a hold arizona, maybe go for nevada, new mexico. a district known as the congressional district number 2 in a state called maine. >> i think the president has got a good story to tell. nikki said you may not like everything about donald trump

and he may rub you wrong but if the other side wins, they are going to destroy your families ability to be safe and be prosperous. donald trump has delivered. before the coronavirus this was the best economy for the most americans in the history of the country. we will get through the virus. i hope people are paying attention to what it means for donald trump to lose. if he wins, it means a strong economy, a secure america, finding the police, not defunding the police. i hope people are paying attention. i know i am and i'm going to talk about it in my race. why all these liberals want to beat me? they agree with the mob and that's what's really on the balance. the mob and the squad. >> sean: i've been debating on the channel for 25 years and i'm willing to discuss memorials and statues in debate any of these things but i know, it's kind of hard -- >> they are not coming on your show. [laughs] >> sean: it's kind of hard when you don't have the fundamental role of government working which is keeping people safe and secure. it's kind of hard to have that debate when you've got in many

of the same cities the worst education result in the entire industrialized world. how is it possible baltimore's 13 public high schools were not one single child is proficient in math? these cities and states have been run by liberal democrats for decades. to me, i view it as a preview of coming attractions. >> i couldn't agree with you more. the republican party needs to fight for the inner cities of america. opportunity zones created by donald trump and tim scott are the best way to give people good jobs in inner cities. broadband for inner cities. a police that are part of the community. don't defund the police. reform the police. make them part of the community. at the end of the day, folks, i hope you're paying attention out there. they're going to change your country if you don't go out and vote. >> sean: that type of socialism takes away our liberties, freedoms, peace, prosperity, our ladder to success. it will impact the entire world.

no oil and gas either. senator, thank you. when we come back, guess what, you know jeffrey epstein's madam, maxwell? we'll tell you who she hired as a lawyer. trace has those details. former acting director of national intelligence ric grenell will join us to explain what exactly joe biden knew and what he knew it about the deep state. i think joe biden has been caught in one big fat lie. we'll explain straight ahead. ♪

>> sean: we have new developments surrounding recently charged epstein confident manner maxwell, as they call her, including who she's bringing on as part of her defense team. here to explain more, chief breaking newss correspondent trace gallagher again. trace. >> ghislaine maxwell hired christian everdell. who spent ten years a as a fedel prosecutor for new york taking down a high profile targets like joaquin "el chapo" guzman. now everdell is switching sides and defending jeffrey epstein's alleged enabler. everdell's former colleagues believe he will use his experience as a prosecutor to turn ghislaine maxwell into a cooperating witness who might strike a plea deal by turning on

epstein's big name inner circle, which kind of goes hand-in-hand with reports that maxwell has damaging video of britain's prince andrew. ghislaine maxwell could be arraigned as early as tomorrow. she is now at the metropolitan detention center in brooklyn under the highest level of security. sean. >> sean: trace gallagher, thank you for the update. as "the new york post" put together a list of who might be most afraid of who maxwell might say, including names like, let's see. prince andrew, former israeli prime minister ehud barack, bill clinton, former harvard president larry summers and others. now more development tonight in our quest for equal justice, as senator grassley's warranty would be "sad" if there's no accountability or deep state prosecutions before the election, adding that it's time to produce some of the fruits of his b labor." it should include exposing how the dirty steele dossier that hillary clinton bought and paid for, russian disinformation was

funneled to the highest levels of the department of justice and the fbi.rm that was the bulk of information, never verifiable. it was all debunked. as the application for fisa warrants to spy on a presidential candidate, transitionpp team deep into the presidency of donald trump. get this, a british judge today ordered christopher steele to pay damages to two russian bankers that he accused and his russian disinformation dossier of having illicit ties to vladimir putin, marking the first loss in the dossier related lawsuit. by the way,t instead of maybe extraditing assange, who probably will rely on the pentagon papers, how about we go after that guy, christopher steele, and bring him over. perhaps no one has more light to shine on this in terms of the weaponization of intelligence inside the deep state, ric grenell. acting director of national intelligence, well, he declassified key footnotes from the horowitz report along with

the flynn unmasking list, susan rice's infamous "note to self" 15 days after a meeting where she, biden, obama, comey, and sally yates and others, you know, were in there plotting, planning and scheming what they were going to do to sabotage the next president. the russian transcripts that showed schiff was lying and exposed biden-obama's role in all of it. ric is an american patriot, stood up to the swamp, how far the deep state was willing to go to spy on a take down your duly elected president. former acting director of national intelligence, ric grenell. thanks for all you did. one of the more insightful things we go inside the oval office meeting, biden who we now know lied repeatedly saying he didn't know anything about what was going on with general flynn when in fact he was saying let's use the logan act.yn

barack obama event oval office meeting knew all about the kislyak phoneck calls with michl flynn and he was the k one sayig we need our people, the right people, honest, i assume to go after michael flynn. >> look, sean, don't forget this was during the transition. we know who the president of the united states is, it's donald trump at this point. he's going to take the oath of office but he hasn't taken it yet at this point. we know who his national security team is. it's mike flynn. if you read the susan rice transcript, she admits that when she was going through the transition from bush to obama that they were talking to world leaders. they were meeting with world leaders. that's what you do when you're in transition. it's one of the reasons why the united states of america has an election in november and an inauguration in january. it's so we can get prepared. we're a serious country. we have to have a transition period. during the transition period is

where i focused the most. there is very problematic to see that in january just weeks before inauguration of donald trump, joe biden is asking for names. he's asking for information as to who did what, who was talking to home. reading the classified information. this is not a team that's getting ready to hand off a peaceful transition of power. this is a team that were surprised that they lost and they were looking for ways to plan.p with a new i think that the ways of washington have to be called out. we are not for petty politics. but we have to be able to look at the steele dossier and all of the warnings that were early on that were i ignored, all of the problems inside the fbi. those have not been fixed yet, sean. we need to fix the problems before we can move on.

>> sean: remember, strzok and page, the white house wants to be informed every step of the way. talked about an insurance policy in case donald trump did win. and that january 5th oval office meeting, remember, we know that they were talking directly about this. then we have, what's our goal? is our goal to get an admission, or do we want to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired. you've released a lot of information we wouldn't have otherwise known. where is director wray? haven't they release this information? >> i think that's a very good question. t we owe a lot to senator grassley and senator johnson who were on this from the beginning and have continued to look at it. senatoroo grassley is one who brought it to me to say i would like to look at three or four footnotes they need to be declassified. i looked at those three or four

and i ended up declassified more than 30 because not only was senator grassley right about the three or four, but there were plenty more that showed red's legs early on in this process wheree individuals in the intelligence community were raising their hand and saying this doesn't make sense. this doesn't add up. those comments were classified, pushed aside, and ignored. >> sean: do you believe -- >>co joe biden has been in washington since 1972, sean. we really have to understand that if he says that he's going to fix something, he had plenty of time to do it. we need to fix washington and an outsider like donald trump is the exact way to fix washington. >> sean: do you believe biden and obama have to answer these questions, what did they know and when did they not? >> of course they do. susan rice's email, on inauguration day after donald trump was inaugurated, she knows these answers which is why she wrote a note to self.

>> sean: great work. ric grenell, thank you. last week we spoke to horace lorenzon: anderson. he's the father of a 19-year-old. that was his son, horace lorenzo anderson jr. that was killed in the chop zone. we will get an update and we will talk to mr. anderson again right after this break. ♪ people used to care. heck, they'd come all the way out here just for a blurry photo of me. oh, that's a good one. wait, what's that?

that's just the low-battery warning. oh, alright. now it's all, "check out my rv," and, "let's go four-wheeling." maybe there's a little part of me that wanted to be seen. well, progressive helps people save when they bundle their home with their outdoor vehicles. so they've got other things to do now, bigfoot. wait, what'd you just call me? bigfoot? ♪ my name is daryl.

♪ ♪ >> sean: you may have seen our gripping and sad interview last week with horace lorenzo anderson sr., the father who told us about the heartbreaking experience he lost his 19-year-old, son in the summer f love, chop and chaz zone. now mr. anderson has received an outpouring of support including we are told a phone call from the president, president trump, and finally a meeting with seattle's mayor. he returns tonight to give us an update along with andre taylor. mr. anderson, thank you for being back. everybody asks me, nobody called mr. anderson? during this show, as it was going on, the white house switchboard called asking for your number. happened since?

>> a lot of things have happened just because of your show, i believe. i wanted to say first of all, want to give my heart out to everyone because of your show, people have been reaching out to the with the most, the best, around the world. i've gotten cards from around the world. people i don't even know reaching out to me, saying that you're a great dad and different things. i wish i had a dad like you, d things like this, you know. it's been very overwhelming. >> sean: how was the president's call? tell us about that. >> kind of like just, you know, basic, he called and gave his condolences. t you know, like i said, a phone call is like, you know, i call you and tell you i love you. i can tell you that. it's a different thing when somebody's right there embracing you and telling you you love them. you can feel the love. i'm not into politics so i don't know if the conversation was just conversation. >> sean: mr. taylor, what

about the mayor? inexcusable, mr. taylor. she allowed this to happen. she didn't protect mr. anderson's son.on she should have protected the city, the people of her city. >> i want to go back to the president'she phone because we were both on the phone call. the president was extremely gracious. he called at a perfect time, during the funeral services. it just lifted horace up. he was elated, screaming, i got a call from the president. i don't want to belittle the power of the presidency or the seat of the presidency. it was very, very special for him and it was very, very special for myself. whatever your politics are, it doesn't matter.d, the office is the most powerful office in this world and to be able to receive a phone call from the president, he gets no higher than that.

i just want to make sure we covered that. >> sean: i got a lot of reaction too and everybody that i have talked to, everyone that's written me, everyone i saw over the weekend since their love and prayers to you and i send mine too. father to father. thank you both for being with us. you'll be in our prayers. we'll stay in touch. more "hannity" after this. itching for a treat.
