robby soave. [laughter] >> i suspect you are right. great to see you tonight. thank you so much. >> tucker: that's it for us. 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn enemy of lin line pomposi, smugness and groupthink. a man who is nicer than ellen degeneres, sean hannity. >> i don't believe in canceling or boycotting anybody and i paid close attention. not like the last time i had to mess up and had to apologize. it's something that she did wrong, can she apologize and make it right? >> tucker: i totally agree. >> welcome to "hannity." we are 92 days until this election where you are the ultimate jury and tonight the conspiracy theorist on the left, you know the ones that sold you the russian hoax, the impeachment hoax, all of them are back in full gear. hitler comparisons.

bizarre fantasies about president trump getting forcibly removed from office in the strained dramatic analogy from humpty dumpty on fake news cnn. off the rails total psychosis but sadly predicable. we are going to show you the worst of the worst and we have a special "hannity" investigation. biden's 51 years of public life, many are wondering okay, what specifically is he going to accomplish in over five decades in the swamp? our special 2020 correspondent lawrence jones hit the streets of new york to find out if anyone could name a single accomplishment. this should be entertaining. lawrence will bring us an exclusive investigation into the massive crime wave in de blasio's new york with 1 billion in cuts for the nypd. we are going to show you exactly what defunding the police look like. spoiler alert. think war zone. first tonight we start with

democratic majority whip james clyburn. he is in leadership. third-highest ranking democrat in the house, a closed biden ally. this weekend he continued to float yet more conspiracy theories, kind of a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory about trump, pollutant, nazi germany, mussolini, and fascism. last week he was comparing trump, using whatever he and pelosi said, gestapo tactics and other crazy stuff. take a look. >> do you really think donald trump is comparable to adolf hitler? >> two and a half maybe three years ago. the state of the union. i felt very strongly that this man has taken on a strong-arm tactic. i feel very strongly that he is mussolini, putin is hitler. i believe very strongly, the

idea about this, the peaceful transfer of power. i believe that he plans to install himself in some kind of emergency way to continue to hold on to office. between nancy and i'll adjust, fascist analogies. what you heard is delusional but it's the current favorite hoax of the radical left. the same cast of democratic extremists, the same lying mob in the media that brought you the failed russia conspiracy theory hoax an and the failed ukraine hoax. they now want you to believe that donald trump is going to refuse to leave office and become a dictator. fake news cnn april ryan even openly fantasizing about the president getting pulled out of the oval office by armed forces. take a look. >> there's going to be a split screen on january 20th, 2021.

if joe biden is going to be the 46th president of the united states, you will have him being inaugurated and watching police and armed forces trying to pull donald trump out of the white house. i cannot wait for that split screen. >> sean: this is the arrangement sadly predictable behavior. we see it every two years and every four years, and as we now march closer to the election, the three-month mark, the smear machine is only going to get worse. prepare yourself for the greatest insanity, emotional roller coaster, well, you probably never seen before. what do they do? they divide the country, old, young, rich, poor. they use racial identity politics. they have bizarre conspiracy theories. they are even getting more bizarre. on sunday, professional fox soccer, we call him affectionately. empty, comparing the president to a driver who is trying to crash his car intentionally. in humpty as well dramatic

scenario, the car represents oue are a democratic republic, if we can keep it, as ben franklin once warned. democrat jamie raskin accuse the president of turning the g.o.p. into a religious cult. tonight this kind of extreme rhetoric is not just trump derangement syndrome. it is an intentional distraction coupled with derangement and real psychosis to keep your attention away from all things, yeah, the ever corrupt confused and slow joe biden. it's also that the democrats and their state run socialist tv allies, they are actually scared to death that you, the american people, will reelect donald trump as the 45th president of the united states. for the sake of our kids and grandkids, and the world, i pray we do. they know that joe is weak. they know he's corrupt. they know his track record is pathetic. he's one of the worst presidential candidates in

history. he is hiding because of it. and pelosi, schumer, bolshevik burning, aoc's policies, if they are implemented, they will destroy what is the greatest country god has given man and put the world in great peril. without us leaving come of the world is in deep trouble which brings us to an important "hannity" history lesson. 51 years of public life, okay, ask yourself at home. what has joe biden accomplished? i can tell you what child has accomplished in less than four. let's start with biden's uncanny knack for always making the wrong decision. for example, biden opposed the 2012011 navy seal raid that kild bin laden. biden also spoke out against a successful troop surge in 2007 and biden was an enthusiastic supporter of obama's strategy to band in the middle east which left massive vacuum filled by isis. oh, yeah, and he pushed the big lie, keep your doctor, plan and save money.

millions lost her doctors, their plans, we are all paint 200% more. he voted for the war in iraq and now he says it was a mistake. by another wrong side of racial integration. let's go to nbc news, shall we? he led the charge on an issue that kept black students away from the classrooms of white students. as biden once said, he did not want his children to grow up in a racial jungle. senator kamala harris, noy front runner we hear, who knows, maybe ahead fake for the vip stakes but if you want to go she had this to say about biden's anti-integration efforts. take a look. >> i also believe, and it's personal and it was hurtful. to hear you talk about the reputation of two united states senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. and it was not only that but you

also worked with them to oppose busing. and there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public school. and she was asked to school every day. in that little girl was mean. >> sean: why doesn't joe biden look someone in the i listen to what they have to say. kamala wants to be biden's running mate, pretty pathetic and by the way biden's horrific track record doesn't end there. a few years ago during the barack and joe days, there it administration, biden was a point person for ukraine u.s. relations and during that time we already know he allowed putin to steal crimea all while zero experience son, well, hunter got filthy rich thanks to the sketchy deal with the pro-russian energy company all while leveraging a billion dollars of your money. quid pro quo joe, zero experience hunter. biden also was in charge of the administration is trying to policy and for years joe, well,

he did his best to cozy up to the country's ruling communist party. all while again hunter, well, he struck another lucrative deal, this time with the bank of china. no experience anyone can find. flash forward to this year when president trump signed off on the life-saving travel ban to and from china. ten days after the first identified coronavirus case here, biden was against the band. he is one who called it hysterical xenophobia and fearmongering. how many thousands of american lives were saved by the president's decision ten days after that first case in the u.s.? by the way, to do that, he was also being impeached. joe, wrong as usual. it's a horrific track record. we send our own lawrence jones, our 2020 correspondent, he went out to the streets of new york to see if anyone could just name a single positive achievement from biden's five decades of public life. i haven't seen this yet.

this is going to be interesting. >> what would you say is joe biden's signature accomplishment? >> president obama's right hand. >> what is one accomplishment for joe biden? he has been in politics for 47 years. >> i don't know what. he's a nice man. he smiles a lot. i don't see any kind of stress. any kind of strength to lead the nation that is a mess. i'm a democrat. >> biden is your person. he's been in office for 47 years. what would you say is his number one accomplishment? >> brings people together. better than donald trump. >> biden is the diet. >> is unfortunate that that's what we have. >> sean: can't answer, smile, nice, selected vp. what did he do for we the people? joining us now, ari fleischer.

senior advisor to the trump campaign mercedes schlapp. welcome back. ari i look at that tape and i'm thinking pelosi, schumer, biden, 125 years of combined swap experience. trump less than four. i have given all the laundry list of trouble compliments. i can't think of one thing biden has accomplished. >> he has accomplished weakness. i've never seen somebody who can run so fast at that age from the positions that are used to hold. biden used to be very tough on crime. he has walked away from those positions. he used to have a much more nuanced position on abortion and these walked away from that position very china. joe biden is the week on china, that's a notable compliment in this day and age and finally joe biden might not activate. there will be a singular accomplishment. people are wondering if he has the vigor to get on stage for an hour or two hours, he might say i don't have the vigor and i can't stand. that came up today, people are urging him, don't get on the

debate stage. people will remember that. >> sean: mercedes, can you think of one thing that is accomplished in 51 years that help the american people besides being nice and smiling? >> well, let me think, sean. no. i will tell you the one thing that his policies have pushed for which is for example supporting the 1994 crime bill which led to the mass incarceration of many lack americans. as we know, it took president trump working with those democrats and republicans to push forward criminal justice reform and sentencing reform which we know has been one of president trump's biggest accomplishment. so i think for joe biden, he has a follower. he was the one who's had bad judgment after bad judgment when it came to foreign policy and not saying look, let's go and go after usama bin laden. he is one who has basically said you know, china, they are not a real threat.

i think it's bad judgment, bad decisions coming from joe biden and truly being a follower, as we know he's now following the socialist party which is why he has made a decision to sign and join this socialist manifesto put together by bernie sanders. that we know is going to lead to incredible increases of taxes here in the united states as well as really negatively impact our economy. >> sean: ari, let me pick up where mercedes left off. i mention this in the monologue. he was against the travel ban. i would argue that incalculable lives saved. now takes on bolshevik bernie's economic plan and aoc, pledging trillions for the new green deal. why? >> because he is running to the left because he is not strong enough to stand up for himself. if you watch the primaries from the very beginning joe biden was a cork in the ocean floating leftward. that's one of the things he used

to try to win the primary. you think if you have the courage of his convictions, if he had strength, if he had will and fortitude, he would stand up for the things he used to believe in. but no, that was part of the whole movement of the entire democratic party to the left and joe biden went happily along with it. so when people think he's a moderate, he is no moderate. the only difference now is we have the socialists, the eval socialist wing of the democrat party menu had the liberal wing of the democratic party. joe biden belongs to the liberal wing of the democratic party and he will be surrounded and buffeted by the socialist wing to which he has yielded. that's not a sign of strength. it's a sign of weakness. >> sean: i can't think in history, mercedes, of any major party candidate this radical and extreme. can you? >> no. i mean, i think joe biden has made a conscientious decision and i think he's following the advice of his advisors,

including aoc and bernie sanders, as saying this is where america is and i have to tell you i think, you know i've been traveling across the country, with women for trup and when you go talk to americans, they are saying that i am scared were going to lose our country. the mere fact that socialism has seeped into the united states were using cities burn down, where you're seeing so many of the violence happening in the cities. in these protests, it shows that americans are concerned. they are concerned about ensuring that we have safe communities, that we do not defund the police. as we know, many of these democrats in the far left agreed to. in fact we know joe biden says we need to redirect the resources from the police and i just think that that's not a winning issue at all for these democrats. at the end of the day, president trump is a common sense president. he knows what it takes to help

americans get through this coronavirus pandemic as well as ensure that we maintain a strong economy and keep our communities safe. >> sean: mercedes schlapp, ari fleischer, as always, thank you both for being with us with great insightful commentary. tonight it's no surprise a growing list of democrats are urging biden to skip the presidential debates. now even clinton's former white house spokesperson is begging biden not to show. like "the new york times." such a horrible track record, a troubling inability to string cogent sentences together. the debates, they could be disaster. the bar is so low, i guess if he shows up, the mob and the media, he won. he showed up. he didn't mess up too bad. of course that bar so low, the media mob, they will cheer and applaud biden if he doesn't make a total, complete full of himself. what's more concerning is biden is now controlled, as we've been talking about, the radical socialist extremists in his

party, even plagiarized, as we've been saying, bernie's economic policy word for word. put aoc in charge of implementing the new green deal. trillions of dollars. beto bozo. he is the guns are, the confiscation guide. i mention schumer and pelosi. what they are trying to do, it's a very scary scenario for the future of the country if enacted. even socialist congresswoman omar is now praising biden's agenda is the most progressive in history. i might actually have agreement. let's take a look. >> right now we have a candidate for president within the democratic party who i just endorsed and brought along many of our constituents to get behind and support joe biden as the president because i understand we've now had an opportunity to move his platform to be more progressive, the most progressive platform a president has ever run on on the democratic side.

>> sean: as i discussed in my new book officially out in two hours and 42 minutes, "live free or die: america on the brink." this is the greatest election of our lifetime. the consequences are real, of battle. freedom of thought versus the tyranny of the left. look at one of biden's top vp contenders, congressman karen bass. until recently, representative bass was a huge fan of castro's communist dictatorship. visiting cuba at least eight times. 2016, mourning the death of this murdering dictator writing "i wish to express my condolences to the cuban people in the family of fidel castro." what about the families who've lost love ones that he ordered the murder of pure and she says that passing of 12 the commandant, is a great loss to the people of cuba. on sunday, bass tried to walk it back.

take a look. >> you make it sound as if this was just, when you were young and irresponsible, you're young and irresponsible. you put up that message about castro's death four years ago, in 2016. >> i absolutely would have not put that statement out. i will tell you that after talking to my colleagues who represent the state of florida, raise those concerned with me. lesson learned. would not do that again for sure. >> sean: eight visits later, election year, talked about his vp. amazing election year conversion. i guess it's fitting that the u.s. communist party leader just officially endorsed joe. here with more, florida senator marco rubio. senator, when you think of how many people from cuba risked their lives. first, how many people were murdered, as castro came to power and the poverty he creat

created. broken down, dilapidated, rickety boats in shark infested waters to risk their lives to come here to get away from there. you know as much about this as anybody. >> yeah. two and a half. 2.5 million cubans have fled the island since the castro revolution. many served 30 years in jail. many were executed after show trials. people died in the straits of florida and rafts to get away from them. families divided. never able to see their relatives again. others died before they could see them again so it's a terrible tragedy. this is not about one comment. she's not being sincere when she says it's about one comment. congresswoman bass has a long history of being an admirer of the castro regime. it started as a student. continue during her time in government and even in congress. she frequently visited the

island. the brigade that was there to participate in the revolution and be helpful and as recently as a few years ago. this is about more than one comment. let me say one more thing, what she said the other navy republicans are taken to calling every democratic communist, that's just false. i'm the first to tell you, there are many democrats that have worked with us on this issue. a number of them that feel strongly about it, especially in florida but other parts of the country. this is about her. it's about her long track record and frankly she would be the highest profile castro sympathizer we've ever had at any level in american government. >> sean: what do you make of this radical left turn? the democratic extreme socialist party? >> yeah, i mean, that's where the energy is coming from in that party and there was a point made earlier about joe biden. joe biden is a solid liberal. the party has moved so far to the left that it leaves him looking like a centrist to some people. it's not that he's moved. he is on the liberal side.

the energy in the party has moved further left but here's the problem. if he becomes president, god forbid, all the people in his administration will come from that group and you will see a fundamental change in this country that will please someone like congresswoman bass, someone who sympathizes with the castro regime. >> sean: senator, as always, thank you for being with us. our "hannity" investigation. do you want to know what life will be like under defunding the police? lawrence jones, special report. also remember bari weiss, former "new york times" opinion columnist, editor now calling out her previous employer and rightly so. we are going to play the tape and get reaction from white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany. later on, tom cotton, senator of arkansas, how the democrats continue to play for politics with relief money. again? straight ahead. glad with us. new one a day natural fruit bites multivitamins

are made with farm grown apples as the first ingredient. and key nutrients you want. so you can have a daily multivitamin free of stuff you don't want. one a day natural fruit bites. a new way to multivitamin.

>> sean: state run tv, the media mob continued their rapid shift away from facts, figures and th the free flow of informan to an all-out effort to silence all opposing views while pushing nonstop democratic propaganda conspiracy theories and talking points. just listen to former

"new york times" opinion columnist and editor, bari weiss, not a conservative. real time with bill maher, discussing the troubling trends. >> the problem that happened at the time and it's referenced in the harper's letter. is that my boss got fired for running an op-ed by a sitting u.s. senator. you might say tom cotton is detestable, that you disagree with him, but i don't want to live in a world where the views of half the country can't be heard in the paper of record. that's where we are heading. >> sean: 50% of the country. "the new york times" toilet paper times 24/7 anti-trump eight machine speeding along. look at the hippies on press secretary kayleigh mcenany, is that all? it sounds like objective reporting. does it sound like a paper committed to truth and facts? i think ms. weiss is correct.

it seems like the same smear tactics we've seen. joining is now white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany. let me say it's a badge of honor for you. congratulations they don't like you. i think, i celebrate that. want to go to one piece. you know, brought up that you don't want to work with reporters. can they first apologize for the year's worth of lies and conspiracy theories on russia before we work with people that are unwilling to tell the truth themselves and don't retract and apologize question marks because that's exactly right. instead of retracting those stories, they won pulitzers. "the washington post" of "the new york times" for lying about the witch hunt against the president of the united states. they were dead wrong but they don't apologize. they don't. what's so egregious about this in particular with the tom cotton op-ed, we used the briefings and we had people whose names are not mentioned in many mainstream publications,

like david dorn, the police officer who lost his life and the rights and how ironic that "the new york times" rather than highlighting this tragic story that deserves attention they instead censor a piece that mentions and talks about the violence and the riots and that of course is senator tom cotton's op-ed. it's really egregious. >> sean: the world has changed, kayleigh. rush limbaugh, syndicated in 1988, 200 talk stations. the number one format and radio. 3,000 now am and fm. the president has 200 and i don't know the total terms of twitter, instagram, facebook. over 200 plus million people. he can go directly to. he doesn't need them. you have many and talk radio. i support the president's policies openly. i don't hide it and i'm proud of his compliments. you don't really have to talk to these people anymore. i don't think the president needs to ever argue with them again. it's a waste of time. >> you're exactly right. that's what drives them nuts. you have the democrats who

engage in basket of deplorable politics like hillary clinton. where are all in the basket of deplorable spray "the washington post" saying it's more than half of the country. you have the media doing the work of the left and it drives them nuts that this president spoke directly to the american people. more than 200 million followers in the direct connection to the american people. it's what drives them to be even more insane in their coverage of the president. >> sean: you coming with a binder and you know when it's a different topic, you're allowed to have notes. it's not like a presidential debate, although why do i suspect that joe biden's team is going to want notes in the debates with donald trump if he even shows up to try to set the stage that he wouldn't. that to me is like checkmate. they don't like being called o out. does not relieve the truth? >> they don't like preparation. they don't like this administration has the facts on their side. when they come in with a

question designed to attack this president in an unfair manner and then we come back with the facts and we show the american people the truth of the matter, it certainly drives them nuts but that's the thing with this president. the facts are on his side. he has done great work for the american people who he cares deeply about. the trump presidency is a great story of success. >> sean: shattering record low on employment for every demographic group in the country, the travel ban in quarantine and subsequent travel bans. we never ran out of ventilators, did we? the country relied on the white house. also defeating the caliphate that biden and obama didn't defeat. can you now just totally bypass them and really not even have to talk to them except i mean i guess it's good you go in there. have a nice chat every day. it gets entertaining but i don't think the president needs the media and i think that minute he

is gone, they are out of business. >> that's exactly right. you look at the ratings of the coronavirus press briefings, the american people want to hear from the president unfiltered. you have the media saying you're not doing enough testing. we leave the world and testing. you don't have enough ventilators. we are supplying the world with ventilators. he speaks directly to the american people of those 5:00 p.m. press briefings. >> sean: joe wouldn't have put the travel ban in and democrats. democrats impeaching donald trump at the same time the president was doing what no other president has done ten days after the first case. countless lives saved. kayleigh, i don't know how you do it, you're not paid enough. i wouldn't be able to do your job we come back well senator tom cotton wingham on democrats playing politics, the dangers about voter fraud. has it happened in the past? we will tell you about it and

♪ >> sean: while the president continues to push for congress to pass another relief bill to get direct payments and demands of working families and of course necessary monies to open schools safely, pelosi, schumer, democrats are still trying to use the packages and other factors seem to get a blue state bailout for failed democratic governors across the country. here's what the president said earlier today. >> look, what chuck schumer wants more than anybody and i would say nancy pelosi would be second, they want to bailout cities and states that have done a better job over a long period of time. nothing to do with coronavirus or china virus or whatever you want to call it. they want to bailout cities. they want bailout money. they won a trillion dollars in bailout money. >> sean: the president continuing to sound the alarm over the potential dangers of mass mail and voting, even

threatening legal action after nevada state legislature passed a highe highly controversial voy mail measure. the president tweeting "in an illegal late night coup, nevada's clubhouse governor made it impossible for republicans to win the state. post office could never handle the traffic of mail-in votes without preparation. using covid to steal the state. see you in court!" also already seeing the disaster of mass mail and voting in new york. new york city. six weeks later to congressional races remain undecided as officials trade blame over the mishandling of ballots. this summer in paterson, new jersey, local officials were among those charged in a voter fraud scheme. in los angeles. clement sentenced for their role in a voter fraud operation.

as michael goodwin writes in "the new york post" about nationwide vote by mail "nothing like it has ever been attempted, so to assume it would go smoothly is beyond foolish." i agree, indeed it would be a miracle he says if it weren't a disaster. here with reaction senator tom cotton. senator, let's talk first about this whole thing because there is a danger here and and we have chronicled examples. kevin mccarthy told me in california they're going to count votes cast 17 days after the election day? what? >> yeah, sean, there is a grave danger of fraud from mail-in ballots. let's be clear between male and val is ballots. when you vote absentee, you submit an application and you expected and you get it and mail it. there is a track record. states like nevada and new york that want to move to mail-in

balloting, they are talking about sending a life, real ballots every single person is registered whether they wanted one or not, whether their address has been verified, whether they are alive or dead and they want to allow ballot harvesting as well. party activists can pick up hundreds or thousands of those ballots. return them without any knowledge about coercion may been used. it is so ripe for fraud that in north carolina and entire congressional election wasn't validated and had to be rerun. the fact that the democrats in places like nevada are already trying to change the rules goes to show you how nervous they are getting about this election. >> sean: you better have your ground game and have lawyers and everyone of the swing states for the reasons that you're describing. let me ask you about the covid relief package. you said china is deeply indifferent to human life. chinese government party, communist party is responsible for the virus. they should be held accountable. are the democrats trying to

prevent victims of what they unleashed on the world from getting compensated when they are guilty? i agree with you. >> last week in the senate judiciary committee most democrats voted against legislation that i sponsored with senator martha mcsally and other senators that would open the american courts to the victims of this virus, just like we did for the 9/11 victims. unfortunately that's just in keeping with too many democrats soft on china approach which reflects the leader of their party, joe biden, who has been sending factories and jobs to china for decades with nothing to show for it. other than a job for hunter biden. >> sean: let me ask you, they did this to the previous covid relief package. this is to help schools and put out hot spots, needed money for people still needing economic help. the democrats did this before. they did it twice. they want now 3 trillion but

they are willing to hold up money again. why? why 3 trillion when the president has proposed a trillion? >> sean, it's because it's never enough of the democrats. they always want more they always want to throw it after special interest. what we need to do is distinguish between what the american people need and what democrats want. those who are still out of work especially in industries like hospitality, restaurants and airlines, they need to enhance unemployment payments. schools need extra money to be able to get kids back into school safely. we need to be able to help small businesses who depend on the paycheck protection program. democrats want to throw away all kinds of money on the smithsonian, the kennedy center, and their projects. >> sean: senator, keep up the good work. 92 days. pivotal, pivotal. oh, by the way, immediately after the show, i will be a guest on laura ingraham show,

>> they would rather pick up a gun. i have a fist fight and call a day. >> during our report we saw people doing drugs on the street. we should note ever since our report, the mayor has engaged in getting people on the street to clean up these needles and stuff so we weren't able to show you a lot more of them today. i also talked with my new york city police source. he tells me that there is a debate currently going on between the mayor and the commissioner about bringing the anti-crime unit back to new york city after seeing the skyrocketing crime rates. they are debating right now what to call it. they don't want to call it the anti-crime unit. sean, i think this is just politics as usual. >> sean: you've been doing phenomenal work, interviewing the father and the grandparent of the 1-year-old shot and killed in a stroller in a park in new york. losing that 7-year-old girl on

the fourth of july weekend at her grandma's house. this has to end. we have the ability. these mirrors won't do it in these governors won't do it. great reporting, lawrence jones. thank you. here with more is fox news contributor, former secret service agent and nypd officer, dan bongino. how many more kids die? how many more people shot? when do they think we're going to fix it. >> yeah, sean, i am really praying i think along with you and others. it's not hyperbole that people in this city wake up and reach a redline with a reach a frustration level where they start to vote for something different. i keep regular contact with law enforcement officials of the federal and former friends of mine at the nypd. i am hearing two things. column the 2gs. the spike in homicides and shootings is largely due to gains and grievances. prior grievances from people who would've been in jail under broken windows, relatively

aggressive, not physically aggressive, aggressive policing. they're not in jail. they are outside. they have nothing to do. we have this recession because of the coronavirus nursing people shooting each other. these gangs come you're seeing an explosion of violence there and they say why is it happening recently. there's a reason behind that. when i was with the nypd under rudy giuliani, again, this aggressive style of policing where we actually enforce the law, sean, people were afraid. gains and people who had grievances against others. they were afraid to carry their guns because if you are caught with an illegal firearm, there is a guaranteed minimum of time in jail. there is no anti-crime unit. nobody is stopping and frisking anyone. everybody is like it's the wild west. i'll carry my gun. they run into a guy they don't like and instead of punching him in the face they shoot him. listen, none of this is rocket science. you can turn around tomorrow if you had a mayor with some, you can figure out the rest, who is

willing to actually enforce the law. >> sean: where we have the most violence in the worst educational systems which by the way i would vote safety is job d politician, protect your citizenry, they are failing. education. these cities all have one thing in common. most are blue state democrats, run by democrats for mirrors. democratic mirrors for decades. that's the one commonality. there is a political -- >> you wonder when people are going to figure it out. liberal is a cancer on the caboose of humankind. everywhere it goes it destroys and even, to be fair, we have seen some small spikes in homicides and cities with republican mayors. the enormous spikes are exclusively, exclusively cities run by liberals. that's a fact. ironically, violent crime in some of these big cities, other violent crime outside of homicide and shootings, is actually down. you know why? the economies are so bad in

these liberal cities, nobody is on the streets to mug. that's a fact. you can look up the data yourself. >> sean: unbelievable. scary. by the way, dan and i get to change roles. he'll be interviewing me on his show and many others. we have that announcement coming up. >> i've got it right here. already ready. be prepared. i've already got my pages. >> sean: it's not going to be a cupcake interview. that's what o'reilly has been saying. dan bongino, thank you. we appreciate it. those announcements when we come back and i will be a guest on laura ingraham's show coming up next straight ahead.
