>> tucker: i'm sure they will, trace gallagher good to see you. a picture of the cruisers we sent to the white house today. alastair mccaskill, alister pfeiffer, escobar and the best producers in college. we are proud to have them. sean hannity now. >> sean: boy did i get in a bit of trouble last night over something i didn't even hear, which i apologized for it. i think i have the best producers and tv, just saying. a slight disagreement, great show as always, tucker, thank you. welcome to "hannity" buckle up. a big announcement coming tonight. and by the way, we also want you to call all your democratic friends right now, ask them to learn the real, ugly truth about joe biden. joe biden hit a new low today and also confusing moments again. we will expose the entire truth that the mob will never tell you.

joe, it is time we give america a history lesson about you. that is coming tonight, but first, we start with the carnage in chicago, chaos important, violent crime surging in every major city in america. democratic mayors, democratic governors, they have failed in the most basic duties. and that is the most basic responsibility, to maintain law and order. they have failed him people are dying and being shot as a result. they have failed to keep their neighborhood safe. they have failed to prevent violent crime and as a result, men, women and children are dying. our fellow americans are dying. the mayors are literally twiddling their thumbs and playing politics. vowing to arrest any federal law enforcement agent that are sent to the city. president trump is taking action. today in a major press conference, he announced the expansion of what is called operation legend. that is a federal program.

it started in kansas city and was named after a 4-year-old boy who was killed by gunfire while asleep in his own bed. and now more than 100 federal officers to chicago, 35 to albuquerque without any problem in order to help take violent criminals off of the streets. the mayors aren't doing it and the governors are not doing it. listen to the president. speak with the citizens of chicago are citizens of america and they have the same right asy other american to live instant safety, dignity and pea. no mother should ever have to cradle her dead child in her arms because politicians refused to do what is necessary to secure their neighborhood and to secure their city. every american, no matter their income, race, or their zip code, should be able to walk the city streets free from violence and free from fear. for this reason today, i am announcing the department of justice will immediately search federal law enforcement to the

city of chicago. the fbi, atf, dea, u.s. marshals service and homeland security will together be sending hundreds of skilled law enforcement officers to chicago to help drive down violent crime. >> sean: safety, security is the foundation for our great american dream. every child, neighborhood, city deserves to be safe. you can't climb the ladder of opportunity without security and safety. this president committed to making serious progress all over the country. let's go back to his conference earlier today. my vision for american cities could not be more different from the lawlessness being pushed by the extreme radical left. while others want to defund, defame, and abolish the police, i want to support and honor our great police. we want to build factories in baltimore, not beijing. we want to make our products in

chicago, not shanghai. we want the american dream for american children, and i will fight to deliver that dream every ounce, every single ounce of my strength, i will be fighting. but opportunity cannot thrive, whether violence, prosperity cannot flourish, where there is bloodshed and security cannot exist. where there are violent criminals who are able to maim and murder with impunity. that is what operation legend is all about. >> sean: "operation legend" is a beginning greatly needed in all of these cities. 100 agents cannot save and protect the cities. they can't, they can protect federal property and they can help with investigations and they can get to underlying groups that are implementing this violence, but unless and until these reckless, irresponsible democratic mayors and governors do their job and/or allow the help they are being offered, they are allowing

innocent people to die. that is all on them. new york, chicago, philly, baltimore, you name the city, seattle, portland, it is all on them, especially true in chicago. shootings up 47% over last year. homicides up by a whopping 51%. 70 shot last weekend, 63 the weekend before and even children dying every single week. the violence reaches catastrophic levels. by the way, last night we reported on that horrific mass shooting in the south side of chicago. 15 people seriously wounded outside of a funeral home in what appears to be a gun related incident appeared at least 60 shell casings recovered from the scene. caught on camera by nearby surveillance system, take a lo look. [gunshots]

[screaming] >> sean: mayor lightweight isn't doing anything to protect her city. moments later two witnesses in a war zone as the president has been calling this and applauded the president's plan, please help us. please send in. the mayor and the governor won't let him do that. take a look. >> we wish it would stop. and the need to go to federal troops in chicago because of the violence. and really, it is the same as pandora. so we need more callouts, federal troops, because really --

>> it's a war. >> sean: as this devastating scene unfolding, sadly, chicago's mayor lori lightfoot who is a lightweight in terms of protecting people, busy on twitter. what was she doing? bashing president trump under no circumstances will i allow donald trump's troops to come to chicago and terrorize our residents. she clearly hates the president more than she cares about innocent men, women and children in her city. he didn't do anything either. barack obama's president, barely mentioned chicago 1,000 shot, and biden did nothing. at that point what will these liberal mayors and governors, when do we hold them accountable for not protecting innocent people? people shot every week in chicago and a lot of the cities. six small children killed in july alone. last night from a 3-year-old little girl was shot in the head, but the mayor is worried

about troops terrorizing her city. really? no, what has she done to stop the violence? what has she done to save lives? lightfoot who is a lightweight on protecting citizens seems more worried about politics than the men, women and children that she is supposed to protect and serve. it is a national disgrace. she is not the only democrat putting politics before human life. in portland, we see the same thing. democrats there, the federal agents, we tried to protect federal buildings from being burned to the ground. that is they are right and their child. portland's mayor calling the federal officers they are, the officer is not the anarchist or the people causing the violence, calling the officers on american. oregon's stupid governor quoting an insane conspiracy theory that they were objecting people. pelosi, get this, comparing agents law enforcement agents to put their lives on the line to

protect and serve stormtroopers. congressman clyburn, the leadership in the democratic party report -- referring them to gestapo, meanwhile confused joe biden has not said a single positive word about law enforcement, the 99th% since running for president. he accused federal agents of "brutally attacking peaceful protesters." we have also heard him say police have become the enemy and he supports the defund effort or as he calls it we will reallocate sources. he likes outward better. let's be clear. anarchist, vandals, have been writing nearly two straight months in downtown portland. they bombed the federal courthouse twice. they possibly come a permanently blinded federal officers with lasers. dozens of buildings have been vandalized, little blaze. this is a shutdown. people don't feel safe. these are not peaceful protests, joe. and this is a small example of law enforcement is facing.

take a look. [chanting let's go home] wait till you see on the ground him portland as we speak, more than 50 straight days of violent demonstrations in the city downtown juristic. according to biden federal law enforcement is the real enemy. see what is happening? biden doesn't have a plan to stop violence, make america cities safer to protect innocent people so they just trash donald trump. now to the .1 of the old democratic party favorite tactics. he is now playing the race card. i pointed out and i've done this history so many times come every two years, for years like clock. republicans, they are racist, missiles and -- they want dirty air water. they want grandma and grandpa to eat dog food, cat food,

paul ryan or republican trump look-alike throws granny over a cliff in a wheelchair. today biden accusing trump, the president of being the first racist president in history. get ready for hannity history real lesson in a second. >> racist have existed and tried to get elected but he is the first one that has. and the way he pits people against one another, it divides the country. >> sean: that you all back in chains, right. now it is time for a kennedy history lesson. forget the fact that democrats have accused every republican of being racist. 1998 radio in missouri, the 2,000 james bird ad, al gore republican, we don't want to count you in those sentences. they will put you back in chains pure let's go over the facts joe biden's history. it was donald trump, not joe and not barack who passed criminal justice reform. and prison reform. it was donald trump, it wasn't joe and it was not barack who signed off on police reform.

it was donald trump also doing opportunity zones, targeting mostly minority neighborhoods to help, well, build the economies in neighborhoods that have been left behind by joe and brock. it was president trump, not joe, not barack who ushered in record low after record low after record low unemployment for african-americans, hispanic-americans, asian-americans come up women into workplace, african-american youth unemployment. joe and barack, 13 million more food stamps from 8 million poverty, and those since the 70s. had a 51 year low in homeownership rate, the worst recovery since the '40s. that is there eight years of failure. by the way, three years and president trump is done more for minorities in this country than joe biden, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer did in 125 years.

watch this. >> you look at employment, you look at opportunity zones and most important link, you look at criminal justice reform. you look at prison reform. i've done things that nobody else -- and i say this and i say openly and i'm not allowing people to dispute it. i've done more for black americans than anybody with the possible exception of abraham lincoln. nobody has even been close. >> sean: the media mob, the biggest contributor to the biden campaign in all things radical, extreme democratic socialist will never tell you that. so you need to ask yourself the question, what was biden doing during his 50 plus year career in the swamp for african-americans where the minorities? here is where it gets interesting. all tell all your democratic friends, we know he was close, so highly of the former klansman robert kkk byrd. former clan leader. the close friend of mine and a

mentor. that man filibustered the civil rights act of 1964, lyndon johnson needed 80% of republicans in the house and senate to get past and most democrats are opposing it. during a speech, joe biden 1973 praised democrats in a two-party system in the south that is called, well i'm a good for that i won't use the word appeared around the same time biden was working with the segregationists. he didn't want immigration and according to nbc news, he led the charge on an initiative to keep black students away from the black students away from white students. that is his record. 77, biden worried his children, his children would grow up in a "racial jungle. if immigration is not done in an orderly way, whatever the hell that means. 1993, referred to inner-city youth as predators on our streets as he coauthored the most aggressive crime bill that

ramped up prison sentences for crimes targeting in the end minority americans. in 2006, telling a crowd, well you have to have a slight indian accent to work out at 7-eleven or dunkin' donuts. i'm not kidding, 2006, a state, 2007, he said this about barack obama, the first, okay, the first mainstream african-american who is articulate, bright, clean. that story but from a man. wow. last year he said for kids could be just as bright as white kids. and recently, you ain't black if you don't support donald trump. joe decides that. joe biden shouldn't throw stones from that glass house. that mob in the media will never tell you, better yet, stop saying racist things altogether. joe, take a look in the mirror. when is anybody in the mob and the media going to ask him about

any of these things? that is the truth. that is they history. by the way, actually knows if joe biden can even form a answer to any of these questions. we are going to play his very latest struggles in a moment. not good. joining us now with reaction fox news contributor dan bongino, fox news correspondent geraldo rivera civil rights leader leo terrel leo 2.0. leo, let's play a game here except it's not a game p because lives matter, right? let's not play games. donald trump set record low after record low unemployment and the largest and most expensive of long-term commitment to historically black colleges in america. joe didn't hear that. criminal justice reform joe and brought did not do that. joe and brought did not do that. if donald trump said the things i just laid out that biden said, how would african-americans and how would the media treat donald trump?

>> they would simply annihilate him. let me be very clear to every democrat on the planet. donnell jay trump has done more for black america in three years then the obama/biden administration and the reason i'm here right now, the reason i'm voting for donald trump is because joe biden went on national radio and said, it if you vote for trump, you ain't black pair that is insulting. that is racist! biden is racist. what is amazing, you have another dinosaur jim clyburn who uses terms like gestapo, he needs to retire. that is insulting to the people who suffer during the holocaust. so you have these old outdated democrats who are still trying to pander to blacks. blacks reject this. and with the crime going on in these democratic cities, it is insulting. donald trump is the only person who can resurrect these democratic cities and save them

from lawlessness. let's be very clear. joe biden is a racist, not donald trump. >> sean: okay, geraldo rivera, i know how you feel about underprivileged in america, kids of all races. you have a heart of gold. one thing i will say about geraldo, dan bongino knows it, leo nozick, i know it, heart of gold. donald trump said those things, geraldo, how different would it be in the media today? >> oh, please, they would blow him up. it would be impossible for him to continue it. he's not a racist. i've known him 45 years. having said that, i don't like that kung fu thing. i wish he would stop that. i think he has. i think there is some sloppy stuff in recent years that i don't like, but i know him. i know i've been in and out of that trump tower 50 times. it is as integrated as any building in this country. he gives opportunity on the basis of competence. not skin color.

and for biden to say he is the first racist ever elected, that shows how disconnected joe biden's. 12 united states presidents were slaveholders. joe should do a little research before he makes flamboyant charge like that. so unhinged from reality. nixon, lg lg lbj used what is sd racist. this man is a good-hearted man and i really do believe that in terms of the economic opportunity zones and the criminal justice reform, he really has done more than any recent president for integration and the advancement of everybody regardless of their race, color, religion. you know that. >> sean: dan, this is what it comes down too. slogan stickers, symbolism. i will take the substance. i will take the jobs. i will take the opportunity

zones. i will take the money for historically black colleges. i will take the results over the red rake. every two years, every four years, dan bongino. the racist, sexist, my whole list. >> you want a talker or you want a do were? you want to guide that built up for a guy that talks about building stuff. you know sean the greatest political scam in the last 50 years has been the media perpetrating the myth and falsehood that the democratic partdemocraticparty e minority. this is ridiculous you know how many people op-ed columns whispering in the president's ear? man, leave chicago alone. leave it alone. let them suffer the ramifications of their own bad decision-making with the leaders. you know how easy of a decision that would be and he didn't. i was proud of him today. he came in there and said no, not on my watch. as i was preparing for the segment earlier, sean, not a

joke. i wanted to follow-up on a 3-year-old girl shot in the face in chicago. so i googled it. it's on my phone. it's right there. it turns out you have to go through which 3-year-old girl? because there's not just one. sean, if this was happening in store for, we would have the embassy working 24 hours a day, 3-year-olds shot in the face, im not kidding, google 3-year-old shot in chicago and you have to find the right one. thank god president trump has the cojones to go in there and do the right thing and say no on my watch. >> sean: protecting federal buildings and 100 federal officers unless the governors and mayors do their job or at least request the help needed. the president can't take responsibility for their failures. last word. >> one other comment, one other comment, comment. the present wants to do more for people of color. justice reform bill, guess what

to black democrats booker and hira stopped it. the democrats are blocking justice in this country so they don't want trump to succeed. it is crazy. >> sean: last word quick geraldo. sean i don't understand why there are more arrests and -- it is criminal. it is literally polonius assault. you shine a laser in the eyes of a cop and his eyes permanently damaged as a result that is in the salt, felonious assault. these people should be arrested and may and mayor wheeler and those other local attacks be. if a crime is committed in front of them, grab those people in charge them with arson. charge them with whatever the crime is. they were being caught on tape. we watch him every night, what is it now almost 60 days? preposterous! >> sean: speaking of which, thank you all as always. speaking of the war zone in portland, in the middle of that

shift, the adam schiff show, horrible chaos, horrible violence. he was put in danger. we have that exclusive video coming up next. 104 days out of an election, karl rove, senator john kennedy, and a really big announcement. stay with us. ♪ hike!

ami horowitz, filmmaker, what did you describe as you so last night what they were doing to the police and other areas? >> yeah, total chaos, sean. basically what is going on is you have in portland at 9:00, you have a four square block radius around the federal court building in portland that is taken over by protesters. last night when i was there, going back tonight, there was about 5,000 people there who are protesting. but i've got to be clear what i mean by protesters. the great stories about what is going on, not just in portland but about the protest in general is the malpractice how these people are pretrade. how people view them in the media. we are saying is kumbaya, brother, they are sitting there having a great time, cooking out, singing and dancing, but the reality is, you have hundreds of people attacked at the federal building.

and when i mean attacked, i hammers, steel pipes and setting fires to burn the building down. all the old people in it. while the "peaceful protesters are exhorting them off, cheering them on, okay?" these people are not a gas to what is happening. hey, guys you shouldn't be doing this. they were supporting these people trying to burn these officers alive in the federal building. so it is sickening and mostly a peaceful protest, it is a load of and it's not true at all. they are part of the problem and part of the violence. >> sean: you will go out again tonight. more video tomorrow, i assume and i hope there is no more video tonight. impossible. ami horowitz thank you. comrade bill de blasio continues his denial, extremely dangerous crime wave on his watch. he is threatening to sue president trump. okay if he sends send the feds.

the philadelphia, they talk to arrest troops. meaning people there to protect the city and protect federal property. wow, take a look. >> i want to be very, very clear that we will not allow this. this could only make things worse and i have sent this letter today to the attorney general and to the acting homeland security secretary, making clear, formally them without the presence of a federal officials, the federal officers is not welcome here in new york city and is not needed here. we will not be intimidated. if we see these federal officers on our streets saying we will see the trump administration in court. >> sean: so scary. that guy right there, he is the dumbest mayor in the country. even governor new york andrew cuomo said the president's concern about the crime at the nation's capital and new york city, the largest

city in the country are well-founded. take a look. >> look, the president's concerns about new york city where well-founded. there are issues in new york city. you put covid on top of the unrest after the george floyd george floyd murder, et cetera, it an increase in crime, so i get the concerns, but i don't believe federal troops are the answer. >> sean: he's not doing anything either. philadelphia's top prosecutor saying he will arrest any federal law enforcement agents sent to the city. joining us now the author of the upcoming book "firebrand" nypd commissioner bernie -- bernie kerik, we know how to save cities. you did it. you and rudy giuliani went from about 2500 murders a year and got down as low as 300. >> sean, listen, the mayor bill de blasio is an idiot. the reason i say he is an idiot is because he already have

federal agents combined with the nypd in every capacity. we have the fbi joint terrorist task force, the dea task force. we have a number of bank task force. they are here. here is the issue, the president has to up the numbers. that is what he has to do. there is already between the nypd and the federal government for these agents to be here. if he ups those numbers and we focus on gangs, guns and drugs, we can annihilate the thugs. and so i know the mayor wants to talk about troops but we are not talking about troops. we are talking about special agents from the fbi, atf, dea and other federal agents that are already here appear they already work here. i was in the dea task force. he has no idea what is talking about. >> sean: matt gaetz you see this unfolding around the country. my attitude is very simple. now, bernie kerik is right.

we do have federal agents in big cities. okay, protecting federal courthouses and federal buildings. they have not only a right but an obligation to do so. but unless and until these liberal mayors, liberal governors, or willing to do their job, and are rejecting the president's help, this is on their job, and are rejecting the them president's help, this is on that their job, and are rejecting the is their problem. all the president can do is offer to help. and i will tell you, their rejection is resulting in a lost life. this is not a game anymore. >> america is a great nation and a great nation does not allow for cities to fall victim to the angry mob. the victims in these cases violence who see their businesses destroyed, their churches and sometimes even their lives lost and the lives lost of their children appear they are not just seattle lives or portlanders, new yorkers, they are americans. and you are right secretary chad

wolf said if we didn't have federal troops they are. the federal courthouses, the federal buildings would literally fall. so president trump doesn't just have a legal obligation, he has a moral obligation to act. our nation is stronger than this mob. i'm glad that president trump is going to prove it. and these municipal leaders who have been feckless and cowardly, they will be exposed for what they are. >> sean: matt gaetz coming out to run for president 2028. i've been hearing rumors all day about that. bernie kerik, the thing is if they are going to turn federal agents into the enemy, and their attitude is get out of town, clean up the graffiti before you go, i don't think the president ought to take that step because at that point, now he is not only fighting the anarchist encouraged by reckless, irresponsible failed mayors and governors. >> you know what my sean, there

was something really bothering me. this starts, that mayor and the governor of oregon, talking about all that stuff you shouldn't be there and the trip shouldn't be there. you shouldn't be harassing the protesters, so to speak, i honestly think the fbi should look at these people. you cannot tell me that they are not intentionally, they are not intentionally forcing the police cannot go out and take out these protesters that are trying to burn down federal courthouses. >> sean: you want to make your announcement tonight, matt gaetz? >> the only announcement i have have a book "firebrand" on twitter and amazon. and i don't give a damn he would have done something about as vice president. >> sean: by the way congratulations. one day i want to tell a story about matt and what a great human being he is.

how he literally changed somebody's life for the better in a dramatic way. but i'm not going to do that story tonight. >> thank you, sean. speak to mike >> sean: i mean it. joe biden more blunders. a disaster and actually stopping interviews because he can't continue. we will play the tape. the architect karl rove joins us and senator kennedy and their big announcement, all coming up. thank you for being with us. ♪ (announcer) now more than ever, it's important to lose weight,
