were affirms why this is right and it's critical for our society. >> tucker: i hope our viewers would readou it. you are a brave man. i appreciate you coming on tonight. godspeed. >> thank you. >> tucker: out of time! sean hannity with "hannity" right now. >> sean: godspeed to you too. now with just 98 days until the biggest choice election in our lifetime, the new extreme rage filled socialist democrat party is more disconnected from reality than ever before. also breaking, moments before, the ap has captured joe biden's notes from earlier today. might've just revealed who his pick for vp is, or is it a head fake? my take coming up tonight. we witnessed yet another jerry nadler capitol hill circus. it was a complete embodiment of

hatred, rage, anti-trump psychosis that is totally consuming this new radically extreme democratic socialist party. here's a small sample of how nadler ran today's so-called hearing. take a look. >> mr. chairman, what can we take a five-minute break, mr. chairman? >> no. >> that's a common courtesy of every witness. >> i waited an hour for you. i'd like to take a five-minute break -- >> mr. attorney general, we are almost finished. we are going to be finished in just a few minutes. we can certainly take a break, but -- >> here we are all, clap. >> sean: we'll have more of nadler's bizarre moments yet. this was nothing more than a failed attempt to create what is endless hours of phony left-wing attack ads for the 2020 election all to help the ever corrupt and out of it joe biden. we saw today, exposed these far

left lunatics for who they are, a group of blind partisans committed to smearing anyone aligned with president trump. they are committed to repeating the same talking points, spewing the same lines, the same conspiracy theories, glorifying the same violent rioting taking place in the democratic run cities across the country, they don't even want you to believe what you see on tv. let me be very clear to all of you tonight, with just 98 days where you are the ultimate jury at election day, the violence we see on city streets are a preview of coming attractions, what is coming to your front door. joe biden, his supporters, get their way and follow up on the state agenda in 98 days. if they implement this agenda, democrats have made clear today -- and know this, joe biden is nothing but a show of his former shelf. that's a fact. it'll be bolshevik bernie's socialist agenda, $500 million

to ocasio-cortez's ocasio-cortez's insane green new deal. beto bozo o'rourke, he will be biden's gun confiscation czar, polo skiff, schumer, biden will push this through to congress. attorney general bill barr put on an absolute clinic and front of the house general commissioning, he dismantled the democrats' narrative that the so-called protests are mostly peaceful. he made it clear, he'll do everything in his power as attorney general to protect federal power and restore the rule of law to keep people safe and secure. here's a small sample. take a look. >> since when is it okay to try to burn down a federal court? if someone went down the street to the court here, that beautiful courthouse we have at the bottom of the hill and start breaking windows and firing industrial grade fireworks and to start a fire, throwing

kerosene balloons in and start fires in the court, is that okay? is that okay now? i don't think they it was an assault. they were told by park police that they would clear -- >> did you know that the rector of the church, and the presiding bishop nationally along with the catholic bishop of the archdiocese of washington all denounced this police assault on the people? >> did they do that before or after the fire was put out? >> sean: nadler just days ago claim the violence was one big myth, lied to everybody. democrats fueling the same lies because rather than confront truth and facts and realities, they report and repeat the same failed talking points. they all sound alike. the same unhinged rants about federal agents attacking "peaceful protesters," a complete fabrication and lies. 100 agents could impossibly

restore order. these democratic mayors and governors keep rejecting the government's offer is to do so. when that didn't work, they repeated and retreated to literally preventing the attorney general from ever even speaking. not only rude, but just evidence of how disgusting and repulsive they have all become. take a look. >> first i'd like to respond -- >> would you please answer my question? my time is limited. >> you have not answered my question. >> would -- >> would you refrain from interrupting me? >> shame on you, mr. barr. my time has expired. >> i have short time and you cannot explain to me -- >> we were making now -- >> time is clear. >> will you restore my time because this witness is speaking over my time? >> mr. attorney general, i want to respect you but i have a short time. >> when people resist law enforcement they are not peace -- >> you are claiming my time. i'm surprised that your lack of

respect. >> this was a hearing that i thought i was the one supposed to be heard. >> sean: admits to all the political theater and the campaign, campaign biden add the entire day today, house republicans did by your back. they expose this all for what it is, another pointless political stunt. congressman matt gaetz, doug collins will be here with more straight ahead. let me be clear. these democrats, they have a blind rage towards the attorney general for two reasons, he's actually taking actions to restore law and order, and actually taking action to protect federal property and bring left-wing lawlessness to justice. secondly, he's doing his job and that is exposing the truth. that is the biggest abuse of power, corruption, scandal in american history, and they know it, and he's committed to holding those that abuse power that are corrupt accountable. which means the obama-biden deep state cabal, using the fake

dossier to spy on team trump, they are in trouble if we get to the truth which we are getting too but nobody laid it out better than congressman jim jordan of ohio. >> spies here that one word per that's why they are after you, mr. attorney general. sally yates would not call it spying. jeff sessions wouldn't call it. rod rosenstein wouldn't do it. chris wray sure as heck isn't going to do it. mr. attorney general, i want to thank you to call it what it was, spying. i want to thank you for defending law enforcement, pointing out what a crazy idea this defund the police policy, whatever you want to call it is. >> sean: law and order is on the ballot in 98 days. it's important to understand what that means. it means pursuing equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws whether it's inside the washington swamp and deep state or major liberal cities where mayors have

surrendered to anarchy and lawlessness because you cannot have peace and prosperity, cannot pursue happiness without law and order. you need all of those things as a progressive quit by the way, you can't have a free and fair democracy, we are a democratic republic without law and order, but democratic mayors and governors, they are still denying fund the medic dell my fundamental truths, denying what their own eyes are showing them. mayor jen seattle, showing that he's doing a dress rehearsal for martial law. another conspiracy theory, hoax, and another lie. take a look. >> this is not a republican or democrat issue. this is about america and the proper role of law enforcement. i hate to say it, but it looks like this president is doing a dress rehearsal for martial law. sending in federal forces to take over police duties in city

after city for political purposes. it is frightening and it's making things worse. it is not improved public safety, it is decreased public safety. >> sean: hey, mayor, guess what? people died in your summer of love spaghetti potluck dinner, chop/chaz autonomous zone. you didn't stop it. another six conspiracy theory this is now another fight for the survival of this great country, the contrast could not be any more clear between the president's law and order agenda, the radicalism that barely there joe biden has now aligned himself with. and mayor durkin, by the way, her agenda is now the biden agenda, the burnie agenda is now the biden agenda. there has never been in the history of this country a candidate with a more radical platform running for president on a major political ticket than

joe biden. by the way it's light in 98 days, early voting or absentee voting, your voting will matter. hannity.com, interactive map, information so you can be informed if voting begins if it's early in your state. the message you send will matter to our kids and grandkids. joe biden and the state agenda, supporters get their way, the key principles that made this country great, values that we grandly take for granted like free-market capitalism, freedom of expression, equal justice and application of our laws, constitutional justice, safety, security will all be in jeopardy. with the reaction, or publicly matt gaetz, congressman doug collins, one big campaign commercial, all that was today. this is the ship show 2020 version. >> house democrats have impeachment stuck on repeat. they want to lay the foundation

to impeach bill barr, but the attorney general was fantastic today. the united states military might have to consider all dell may consider naming our next weapon system after him, a tank or a minesweeper or something like that. he brought a warning today, this violence is organized and it will spread. when you're in trouble, you'll be able to call the police. in joe biden's america, i guess you can call the political correctness police because that'll be the only group they have not defunded. he made the case that if we do not stop this in portland, it'll be visited on the rest of america. >> sean: have you ever thought about being a talk show host? that's a pretty darn good off-the-cuff monologue. congressman collins, the major talking point, bill barr, you are actually protecting federal property at the orders of donald trump to impact the election, and the reason that john durham is exposing all the things that were articulated by

you guys and, you know, others today, it's just, it never happened. abuse of power, premeditated fraud, by the court, hillary's dirty dossier. i could go on. >> remember, sean, this is the world we live in right now. the problem we have with bill barr is he holds the candle. they've been having smoke and mirrors the past two and a half years and going back to 2016 when they didn't want to find out they did everything they could to keep president trump from being president, all of a sudden here's bill barr who tells it like it is and doesn't care what the democrats think. he's unplugging the smoke machine, tearing down the mirrors, and they are sitting there with no clothes on because they have no agenda except to attack this president and blame the american people or blame this president for protecting the american people while they are on the mission to put joe biden into destroy what president trump has built. make no mistake. the reason they are trying to tear down this attorney general is he has expose them for who they really are and they are

stuck on the cycle of wash, rinse, repeat, wash, rinse, repeat. they are old, tired, and over because bill barr pulled down the covers today. >> sean: both of you did a phenomenal job. congressman collins, congressman matt gaetz, thank you. the outright lies being spread by law enforcement. the 99% that literally protect and serve their communities, all across this country, so many now injured, some dad, the devastating real-world calm federal officers are facing permanent blindness following attacks, lasers in portland, the attorney general talking about the brave men and women that protect and serve, that biden has never said a single good word about except that, "they've become the enemy." take a look at barr. >> fact of the matter is, in portland, the portland courthouse is under attack.

federal resources are inside the perimeter around the courthouse defending it from almost two months of daily attacks were people marched to the court, tried to gain entrance and set fires from things, use explosives, injured police including just this past weekend, perhaps permanently blinding three federal officers with lasers. >> sean: blinding law enforcement officers. think about that. look at this disturbing new video from "the daily caller" tonight showing demonstrators laughing about anti-cop violence. ask yourself, do you find this funny? >> what would you think if that did blow up around the cops? what if one of the cops died? >> [laughs] >> [bleep], if 1 of 1 of those cops got killed, good! >> sean: is that the country we want? at least 59 officers injured in weakened unrest in seattle

alone. almost 2,000 officers injured since all of this anarchy began. since may on the show, we've shown you attack after attack on law enforcement in city after city, state after state. even in new york city, it's out of control. 300 nypd officer vehicles have now been vandalized since george floyd's death on may 25th, along with numerous attacks on officers. also, murders of 24% year-to-date shooting incidents up to 69%, shooting victims of 78%. it gets worse. "the new york post" reporting on a stretch to it this is midtown manhattan. where fox news is, being turned into a zone to shoot heroin. sounds like nancy pelosi's san francisco, a mile from her house. unfortunately, it's the sort of trends we are seeing from coast to coast are here reaction, department of justice spokeswoman kerri kupec is with us. i knew you were there, behind the attorney general all day.

i have nothing to say except i have never seen blatant denial of truth, one, incredible rudeness, two, and literally it was an all-day campaign commercial for joe biden. that's all this was to lecture and shut down the attorney general of the united states. >> i think we would all like to reclaim this day, sean, to borrow a phrase from the democrats today. i think at the end of the day, this is really a lost opportunity for the american people. there are many americans who wants to know more about why the attorney general had made for in decisions he had made and taken some of the actions that he has taken. the attorney general was prepared to answer those questions today. he's been preparing for weeks. but instead, the democrats as you have stated earlier would ask them questions and then they would refuse to let him answer those questions. and the only conclusion that i can draw at least from that is

perhaps maybe they realize there is no there there. there are no buried bodies. there is really no scandals like the ones that the media have been drumming up for some time, and the second thing that i have found them a particularly ironic about this hearing, was the fact that the democrats were hurling their usual allegations at the attorney general. insisting that, you know, he was helping president trump and helping president trump's friends, when in fact the only political pressure that i saw today was that from the democrats towards the attorney general as they berated him for not going harsher on roger stone, a first-time nonviolent offender, which as we saw when the attorney general made the recommendation that he did, the judge in that case who is no friend of this administration ultimately agreed with the ag. if we are going to talk about political pressure, that's where it's at it's at. >> sean: so now the question is where is the durham report? i don't thin think you are goino

be able to give me an answer. it took forever to give the horowitz report. we've seen other people, predawn raids, tactical gear, and a manafort, roger stone, cnn cameras, but michael horowitz report talked about the same issues and referrals made talking about comey and mccabe and others and now we have a long laundry list of all these guys making a lot of money selling books and being c and an an ms dnc contributors. when do we get the door report because if we are going to have an election in 2020, don't we have to get to the bottom of what happened in 2016? >> because the dream investigation is an federal investigation, there's not much. covid did slow down the progress to some extent because the courts, as you know, sean, were

all but closed or their proceedings are sniffing we delayed it during covid. i can tell you this, john durham and his team are working chilling diligently. as a duly elected president of the united states than attorney general barr. he knows as president and family and everyone affected deserves and needs resolution. he knows the republic needs resolution and he certainly believes justice itself deserves resolution. so we will see. >> sean: all right, kerri, thank you for joining us. our sympathy to the attorney general. no one will want to serve in government after watching what he had to endure today. all politics. also with today's hearing, nutty jerry nadler caught again spreading more conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, actually claiming that the attorney general bill barr and president trump were fueling more violence as a campaign strategy. crazy alert! take a look.

>> you really can't hide behind legal fictions this time, mr. barr. it's all out in the open. where people can see what they are doing for themselves with the president wants footage for his campaign ads and you appear to be serving it up per his orders. in most of these cities, the protest begin to wind down before you march up and confront the protesters. you did it here in washington, you did in lafayette square, you expanded to portland, and now you are projecting fear and violence nationwide in pursuit of obvious political objectives. shame on you, mr. barr. >> sean: shame on you, lying jerry nadler. former congressman trey gowdy, all the talking points were all the same, trey. it's an insult at this point after today's schiff show. they all rigid

regurgitated the same line. you are doing this. that's all i 1500 police officers injured, many more, some blinded, now we are up to 16 dead? are my eyes deceiving me, trey gowdy? >> sean, if politics is about contrast we have contrast for november. do you want the anarchy you see in portland and seattle or do you want a country or everyone is safe and secure? what you also saw today is what a serious grown-up attorney general can do for this country and it makes me wish and wonder where we would be if he had been the ag from day one, if bill barr had been the preside president's ag. as for crazy uncle jerry, now you know, sean, why the democrats kept them hidden in the attic during impeachment or they didn't want him anywhere near impeachment and for anyone who wondered why the chairman of the judiciary had no role in impeachment? today you figured it out.

>> sean: you know something? he actually said the idea that this is violence in these cities is a myth. claiming -- you have all these liberal democratic mayors that have destroyed their cities, both in terms of safety and security, their education systems are the worst in the world, they are out there spreading conspiracy theories, 100 federal agents in most cases protecting federal property and federal courthouses, that somehow they are responsible for the violence, for example, that's been going on in portland and seattle forever. six straight weeks, almost two months now in portland. that is not donald trump's fault. they reject his help, but he does have an obligation to protect federal property, and they are doing that job, and they are being injured and blinded as a result. >> it's his number one obligation. the number one obligation of government is public safety. what i wish nadler would do is go find all the homicide victims

and their family members in new york, they'll find the parents of the 1-year-old who got killed and tell them the violence is manufactured. go find all the homicide victims, jerry, in your own backyard and tell them the violence is manufactured. >> sean: for all we now know in terms of what is out in the public about, let's see, hillary clinton's espionage act that i believe 18 usc 17-93, the fact that she deleted emails, bleaches, hammers, abuse of power, corruption, the seventh floor of the fbi, all the names we've often discussed, do you have, trey gowdy, any doubt that they abuse their power, they had premeditated fraud on a fisa court, and they sought to impact an election and take down a duly elected president? i have no doubt and i'm trying to understand why durham has

taken so long at this point. >> i have no doubt. you mentioned horwitz twice. i hope your viewers are wondering why the chairman of the judiciary has never called michael horowitz as a witness. horwitz found misconduct in law enforcement too. it's called the fbi. why has not the chairman of the judiciary called michael horowitz for the past year and a half? point number two, i hope john durham issues his report and i hope it's fact centric. we don't need john durham to know what's on the ballot in november. i don't need john durham to convince me -- >> sean: when will they be held to the same standards as all the people with process crimes? >> soon, i hope. >> sean: when you were told the evidence was unverifiable, it says at the top of the flies of warrant, how do you get away with that? >> i hope you do not. i hope that lady adjustment is blindfolded.

let's be patient. justice is slow. >> sean: slow? okay. i think snails are faster. thank you so much. disgraced former fbi agent peter strzok releasing yet another anti-trump book, they are all cashing in. not the only deep state actor profiting from his abuse of power. gregg jarrett, dan bongino are next. later, did joe biden today accidentally reveal his vp pick? we'll show you his notes, and i'll give you my take straight ahead. glad you're with us.

>> sean: also breaking today, former fbi agent, one of the architects of the russia conspiracy hoax peter h strzok announce he's going to be releasing a new book two months before the election. but strozk is one of the former fbi attorney lisa page was hired by ms dnc as, quote, analyst, and mueller pitbullre andrew weiser, he wrote a book also released in he published his book in 2018.

former cia director brendan hired by ms dnc, senior national security intelligence analyst, former fbi director, mr. fire just honor himself james comey has a ready written one book, inspiration for a miniseries and in process of writing a second book, that set to release in january. former deputy terry director of the fbi andrew mccabe also hired by fake news cnn as a contributor. these people, there are referrals for lying. you know, crimes that put men afford, stone, chone in jail. fox news legal and less gregg jarrett, wrote a column detailing how these russia hoax actors proper from their lives. and fox news contributor dan bongino. i read this, gregg jarrett. i sensed a text you, show you. the next thing i did, please get

me all the information on on the profits these deep state actors are going to make. >> you know, it's pretty despicable that these corrupt, lying people are profiting financially from their perversely ironic, i can't think of a more compromised person in america, a guy carrying on an extramarital affair and trading stunningly hostile text messages about the very man he's investigating. enter mccabe, whose dishonesty was epic, byard for lying that once but four times. i can't think of a guy who was more of a threat than the fbi then enter mccabe and you've got the ever vein, glorious egocentric james comey who penned a book about lying and lying people, talk about blatant hypocrisy and a drama miniseries about the ultimate drama queen

james comey? all of these guys embrace the mantle of morality and purity in order to cover up their own abuse of power, deceit, and corruption. and americans should reject it. >> sean: you know, dan bongino, the thing i take away from this, there is such an arrogance that you beginin to wonder do they just think they are getting away with all of this? my sources have told me, a number of them, they all have high-powered d.c. attorneys representing them, so they are preparing for the worst, but they are going out and profiting the most they can from all ofd this, and what we know on the record to me is damning enough to get most if not all of them indicted. >> sean, the key take away here is they all know each other. that may not seem profound. oh, they worked in d.c. of d course they know each othe. but they allal appeared in the same cases. i never take notes, i don't care

if you call it the deep state,he the silly state, whatever you call it, but suggesting to me it doesn't exist after these connections, it'll blow your mind. u you can go take a vacation because you are crazy. the same people were involved in spygate, mary mccord who supervised david loman? david was the guy who sat in. also appears in the brett kavanaugh case. mary mccord was super nice supervising, went to work for a. national security staffer, remember him? two of his coworkers want to go work for whom? adam schiff. the same fake whistle-blower met with the ukrainian parliamentarian who met with each loop a woman who was working the men afford manafort case for the democrats. the same work for john carlin who was bob mueller's chief of

staff. who hired andy weissman, who worked with kathy radler, obama's lawyer, and lisa monica who was the counterterrorism official on the enron case. they all know each other! you tell me of all the lawyers in america, they are all involved in t the same three scandals? come on! "the deep state doesn't exist, it's a hoax." you are a hoax if you don't believe it! this isn't by chance. >> sean: americans havene a right to know what happened in 2016 before they vote and early voting starts in september in some states. four years later, one programming note, you see the guy gregg jarrett there? we are going to have a role reversal. he's going to beat me up. one hour, foxnation.com special, interviewing me about "live free or die." he already told me i'm putting you on notice, going at you ha hard. >> i am enduring you too.

>> it's a wonderful book. >> sean: i appreciate it. without this ensemble cast, the country wouldn't know any of it. without a small group of congressmen and people dedicated to the truth, none of this would've been revealed. it's sad that it's taking this long. we deserve to know. all right. when we come back, why does the mob and the media refused to acknowledge any positive news about hydroxychloroquine? a doctor from yale will tell us why that's probably a big mistake. also fake news cnn could be in trouble again over the covington catholic case for the attorney for nicholas hammond will join us to explain for nicholas sandman will join us to explain next year on "hannity. delma."

>> sean: earlier today, twitter actually locked out donald trump jr. out of his account or he posted a story touting the benefits of hydroxychloroquine. i think people should decide themselves and hear all sides. recent studies are showing the positive effects of hydroxychloroquine not reported by the media. joyless behar saying it's

unsafe. researchers at henry ford health system, they said earlier administration of hydroxychloroquine makes hospitalized patients substantially less likely to die. yale epidemiology professor says that hydroxychloroquine could save up to 100,000 lives if used for covid. the mob in the media were endlessly promoting a study turned out not to only be severely flawed -- remember this study by the merger medical journal in the lancet back in june? they had to retract that story. widely published, it found no benefits of the drug. had to retract and alter the look into the doctor, didn't have a particularly good history. heeven would delma could increae the risk of death for joining us now, yale epidemiologist harvey risch is with us. we have the ford health center, they said if used early, extremely positive for the internees talk to dr. oz at length about

that. the thing that got my attention, sir, is this. a guy that has the name daniel wallace, he's with cedars-sinai medical center in los angeles. 400 peer-reviewed papers. he wrote the principal loop's textbook, the chairman of the lupus foundation, rheumatoid foundation. he's been in 42 years of practice and he wrote on april 6, no patient of mine has ever been high up as the hospitalized for a hydroxychloroquine complication and he said for the use of covid, the risk of taking 400 milligrams of hydroxychloroquine a day following a single 600-milligram hydroxychloroquine loading does come, for 30 or 60 days, the risk he says is nil unless you have an allergic rash or upset stomach. nobody usedd it for 30-60 days. those are his words, i don't think there's a more eminent or

qualified person than dr. daniel wallace. my question to you have the media in this country politicized medicine to the point of something that could work -- again, i'm not a doctor but i urge people to consult you workr doctors and with the army you have, as dr. oz said, have they done the public a disservice by falsely reporting dangers that don't exist? >> good evening, sean. i think that it's true but the problem precedes what the media have done. i think the problem is more inherent in the whole medical establishment and the way we report research today and the way studies are carried out. this was actually pretrade best by the editors a few years ago of "the new england journal of medicine,"d the landsat and the medical journal association who complained they were feeling under pressure by drug companies to run multiple studies through those journals to format the studies in such a

way that they would get through peer review easily and swamped the major medical journals. and they felt that this was the pressure on the journals and them to carry out this policy. and i think this drug company pressure has been dated a large amount of the medical establishment so it's hard to get independent work and independent reviews done today and i think some of the pressure came from the admission only and the media picked up on it, seeing an opportunity to slap the message way that the media want to slap. >> sean: doctor, do you believe dr. wallace from cedars-sinai, thatat the risk is nil, do you agree with him? a65-year-old drug? i'm not a doctor. you are. what are your thoughts? >> yes. this drug is been taken more than a billion times. it's exceedingly safe. a group of cardiologists led by peter mccullough at bayer

heart institute, a paper coming out in th "the american journalf medicine," how safe it is, gread paper, instructional for clinicians out there on the front lines on how to manage covid patients with hydroxychloroquine pure they are cardiologists, they know what the risks are. >> sean: dr. oz said to me when you have the intersection of politics and medicine, politics always win. that's a disservice to the people in this country. prepare to be attacked because you will be unfortunately. turning to another story, last week covington catholic graduate nicholas had been settled his lawsuit with "the washington post" after allies with an interaction with a native american elder last year per they falsely portrayed him as the aggressor.ct they never even bothered to find the truth. not following the news, sandman

tweeted that we settled with "the washington post," fake news cnn.cn the fight isn't over. over there at fake news cnn, humpty dumpty humpty dumpty and jeff zucker's stenographer, he's now being accused of breaching his network's settlementse agreement after a retweet regarding the case be here with the reaction is the attorney for nicholas sandmann, todd mcmurtry is with us. his partner lin wood i have recently retained as one of my personal lawyers. i consider you guys the best in the business. tell us about this case in particular. >> well, sean, thanks are having me on. this case with cnn and the reach retweet talking about the settlement or characterizing the settlement was a big mistake on cnn's part. i do not think brian seltzer should have been commenting on it. i think it showed poor judgment on his behalf to do so. clearly he doesn't have any idea what the terms of the settlement are, yet he showed some poor

judgment in commenting on it, not knowing what he was really talking about. >> sean: i didn't mean to interrupt you. i've known lin s wood since the richard jewell case. i was in atlanta. i was one of the few people who didn't rush to judgment and it taught me a valuable lesson in my career. i'm honored that i've been able to retain him as my own personal attorney. he's great at what he does. i know one thing about lin woodl those saying, it's a nominal sum? i don't believe that for a second. i know you can't disclose it, but i know lin wood. lin wood wouldn't settle for a nominal sum ever under any circumstances. might be in the right? am i over the target? >> as he said, i can't really comment. we did agree with cnn and "the washington post" not to characterize the settlement, but i know lynn as well. he's a fabulous lawyer and does great work in the pleasure to work with him on these cases. >> sean: he does this out of

passion. what they did to this young man, this young man handled all of this perfectly. it's unconscionable. the difference between me and this young man is he's not a public figure. this is more of a slam-dunk case than most people know and i believe this kid might even be a billionaire when all is said and done. thank you for standing up for this young man, did not deserve this in any way. when we come back, did biden excellently revealed who his vp pick is going to be? we will get to greg gutfeld! i love this guy. he cracks me up every day. next, straight ahead.

>> sean: joe biden, the coolest one said he would announce his vp pick the first week of august. but look at this, and ap photographer captured a picture of joe biden's notes, appeared he was ready to answer questions from the press about one potential vp running mate, senator kamala harris. he accidentally revealed his pick or is it a head fake? this comes after politico accidentally reported harris as biden's vp pick. author of a brand-new book, "the plus: the self-help book for people who hate self-help."

funniest guy for people here at the channel, biggest untold story and cable news is how big "the five" does. greg gutfeld, congratulations on the book. >> this is the greatest story. shows you how uninvolved biden is in choosing his vp choice. he has much control over this choice as i have control over my height. he is so out of this picture. if they told him that his vp was going to be a cactus, he would say, great, i love a good succulent and he'd try to sniff its prickly limbs. he's so out of it. if he does win become president, an open jar of mayonnaise in the sun will have a longer shelf life than his presidency. he's basically the trojan horse in caps. >> sean: i have to ask a
