6:00 pm
twice-failed presidential candidate hillary clinton because it would bore you otherwise. we will show you the parallels between hillary's's pathetic 2016 campaign and biden's basement bunker strategy. this new radical democratic socialist party is a party where america's so-called elitists, we will explain that. they don't care about working people, blue-collar jobs, anyone in the midwest and true to form, tonight's big event will be kicked off by biden's running mate from san francisco, kamala harris. she's going to be introduced tonight, it's only going to be about a minute and a half, 2 minutes max and i'm going to do something on the other side of it. i want you to hear it, but then we are going to do something the mob and the media refuses to do. we will actually vet the most liberal senator in 2019, wasn't bolshevik bernie, it was kamala harris and we will get to all of that. are we ready?
6:01 pm
okay. let's not? she's live, let's go. >> before i go on stage later tonight i want to talk about the importance of voting. i know many of you plan to vote this year but amidst the excitement and enthusiasm for the selection you've also heard about obstacles and misinformation and folks get harder for you to cast your ballot. so i think we need to ask ourselves, why don't they want us to vote? why is there so much effort to silence our voices? and the answer is because when we vote things change. when we vote, things get better. when we vote, we address the need for all people to be treated with dignity and respect in our country. so each of us needs a plan. of voting plan. joe and i want to make sure you are prepared. if you text "vote" to 30330, we
6:02 pm
will help you come up with your plan enter member deadlines and get ready to vote in your community. so send that text and encourage her family and friends to send one, too. let's enjoy another night of inspiration from around our country. i will see you a little later tonight and until then i turn it over to my dear friend and tonight's moderator, carrie washington. >> sean: my dear friend, sean hannity. that was joe biden's running mate kamala harris kicking off night three of the worst infomercial on earth also known as the democratic national convention. later tonight she will deliver her, well, at some point speech. do not be fooled by anything senator harris has to say tonight. no matter what she tries to sell not, kamala harris is a radical. far left political opportunist, doesn't even like her own running mate.
6:03 pm
she accused joe biden of racism and sexism on multiple occasions. said that she believes joe biden's accusers, harris accepted the role of joe biden's running mate and assume she wants to be president. and according to a new poll, the majority of americans, nearly half of all democrats believe joe biden will not be able to finish a four-year term. sadly, per usual, it's up to us to that senator harris who wants to be the next vice president of the united states. the mob in the media will not tell you the truth. we will tell you. abc, "the new york times" have already referred to her as a pragmatic moderate. that is just a lie, a pure out and outright lie. she is anything but. she had a voting record to the left of bolshevik bernie sanders, the cosponsor of that idiotic socialist "green
6:04 pm
new deal" in the senate. she wants to limit the consumption of your red meat and has vowed to enact gun confiscation programs via executive. forget that other branch of government known as the legislative branch, she supports banning all private health insurance and supports medicare for all, cost estimate, $54 trillion, new green deal estimate. that will be $94 trillion and the decision, she supported the idea of defunding the l.a.p.d., $150 million appealing to the radical anarchist switches are really bad idea. now i highly doubt you'll hear any of these insane radical decisions tonight. thus far the theme of the dnc has been all about hating donald trump, the cult of hatred, psychosis, and madness at some levels, on some levels. of course the vague, typical platitudes, bumper stickers and
6:05 pm
slogans, a clear attempt to mitigate their scary socialist agenda. the dnc may very well be the worst show ever on earth. frankly, this convention is so bad. not a lot of sports going on, not a lot happening, not a lot of new stuff on tv and the people are tuning out in droves. now, what does this mean? we will let you decide. network viewership for the first two nights is now down a whopping 48%. keep in mind, four years ago, hillary clinton and by the way, nobody particularly like her. no one was excited by hillary clinton but this year with joe biden it's even worse. there is zero enthusiasm whatsoever. in fact, that's why he had to shore up bolshevik bernie's base by adopting his crazy economic plans, even plagiarizing a lot of it. that's why he's pledged trillions to ocasio-cortez's new
6:06 pm
green deal. that is why he chose his running mate, the most liberal radical in the united states senate from california, 316 harris. during her 62nd speech last night, alexandria ocasio-cortez couldn't even be bothered to mention her own party's nominee and confirms everything that the planning to do which is full on radicalism, the most radical ticket of any major party in history. that's how bad this is getting, take a look. >> a movement striving to recognize and prepare the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny and homophobia. and to propose and to build reimagined systems of immigration and foreign policy that turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past. >> sean: she also proposed guaranteed health care,
6:07 pm
guaranteed higher education, guaranteed government wage, guaranteed jobs, government vacation, free, free, for everyone. no mention of her party's nominee, none. at least she's honest about the democrats radical socialist agenda. probably why she only got one minute. 60 whole seconds. senator elizabeth warren is scheduled to speak tonight, has rarely ever been honest about anything, true to form yesterday she actually appeared on a dnc native american panel. you just can't make this stuff up. she was falsely claiming for a long time that she was native american for decades. she benefited for years from those false claims and that's not all. yesterday we also heard from two louis farrakhan, one of the biggest racist and anti-semites in the country, two of his, well, let's say, advocates. remember, they were kicked out of the women's march because of their bigotry.
6:08 pm
but they were welcomed arms wide open at the dnc. biden campaign later tried to distance themselves but she was invited to appear at the convention. no word from biden himself, is in the bunker basement, might be taking a nap preparing for his big day tomorrow. by the way, why won't he answer why they were invited to appear? of course, joe doesn't take any questions from the press. we told you this, since march joe biden has taken a whopping by our count to 34 questions from his biggest supporters, the media mob. 34 since march. we are only 76 days away. he wants to be president, he's been hiding in his basement bunker the whole time. trump, welliver 1800. his campaign is trying its best to hide them away indefinitely but at this point everyone in the country can see that joe biden is struggling. he looks frail, he looks weak, he is constantly confused. let's take a look at this incredibly, well, awkward moment
6:09 pm
from last night after biden received enough delegates to officially be nominated to the democratic socialist party. take a look. ♪ >> all right. >> sean: this is painful to watch and it's about to get so much worse. tomorrow, biden is now set to give alive acceptance speech and of course makes it all the way through without totally collapsing, i'm sure he's been practicing for hours and hours and hours. the mob and the media will give a standing ovation, greatest speech ever. at what point is anyone going to ask biden questions like they asked john mccain in 2008, about his stamina, his fitness, they did it to mccain and
6:10 pm
reagan, his mental alertness, mental acuity, at what point does biden sit down for an actual interview with any real journalist? i don't think one would hold him accountable anyway. at what point will biden hold lengthy press conferences where he takes real questions, if ever? is there something wrong with joe? why are they hiding him? is he not able to conduct an interview? what is his campaign so afraid of? we are 76 days away from a presidential election and by the way, before the first debate, 16 states will allow early voting. i'd like to see the first debate before a single vote is cast in the united states, i think that's fair for the american people. you've got a major party candidate hiding daily in a basement. if joe can't campaign, how do you trust him to be president? here with reaction from the trump organization, eric trump is with us. okay, your dad is out there. not like they're going to give joe hard questions like they did
6:11 pm
the public press conferences, who do i go next to? david from nbc. i mean something is audit. okay, how do you become president when you won't talk, when you won't show up, when you won't take questions, when you don't get hard questions? >> the bar is so low, all day yesterday had traveled through the whole state and the enthusiasm there is incredible. my father was there the day before, the vice president is there today, it's been 660 days since biden has been in wisconsin. he was supposed to have the dnc in milwaukee. it's been 660 days since he's been there and no one asks the question, why hasn't biden showed up? the same thing with michigan and all these -- the media sets the bar so low. if my father didn't go to a battleground state for 660 days, they'd be on top of him, they would be going crazy. he didn't even show up in the state that the dnc was supposed
6:12 pm
to be at, he hasn't been there for two plus years and everybody gives him a pass. they've set the bar so low, all he has to do is live through the interviews or the speech tomorrow. so long as he's still living at the end of the thing they're going to applauded as being the greatest piece of lingual art that's ever happened. it's crazy, the bar is so low, it's disgusting. >> sean: the bar is low. i would bet everything i have that is been practicing, practicing, practicing. look at the poll i talked about earlier here. there are more americans, majority half of democrats believe biden will not finish a four-year term. it for all the questions the mob and the media asked about reagan in 1984, joe biden will be older and his first day of office and reagan was on his last day of office. >> i think that's why they
6:13 pm
encouraged a radical to run with him. you did a beautiful job covering the opening but getting rid of all private health insurance, 180 million people, over half the people in the country would lose private health insurance plans. free health care for every illegal immigrant, defunding police. they tried to do that in new york, they got rid of all undercover police officers in new york and crime went up by 250% in three months. it doesn't work. the point you're making is exactly right, they wanted somebody who is an absolute left-wing radical because even if joe biden was in office do you think he's going to be running government? the guy called arizona a city last night. he said he was running for senator of the united states. he's running for commander-in-chief and arizona is a great state, you think this guy has the aptitude to run government? come on, let's call a spade a spade. >> sean: let's look at kamala harris, she has a more leftist,
6:14 pm
socialist record in the u.s. senate in 2019 than bolshevik burning himself. she feels it's the right of a president to just bypass the legislative branch of government, take away people's second amendment rights, that's pretty lot of fall, she will eliminate fracking, sponsored the radical new green deal in the u.s. senate, $94 trillion. i don't think you need to graduate from harvard or mit to figure out when you're only taking four and a half trillion dollars a year that the 94 in ten years will bankrupt the country. how is ending fracking and eliminating all fossil fuels going to fly in pennsylvania and wisconsin and ohio and midwestern states where your dad to bring the jobs back? >> the fact that we are fracking is the reason we have $2 gasoline right now, the reason it costs so little to heat our homes on a relative basis
6:15 pm
according to seven years ago because my father made this country energy independent. one other thing that no one is bringing up and i don't know why, she's from san francisco, beautiful city. unfortunatelunfortunately, it'st absolute hell, sean. look at the crime in that city, the homelessness in that city, you walk your kids to school and you are walking over hypodermic needles and this is a city you governed over. if you want t to the rest of the country, all the swing states and the rest of the country to emulate san francisco and the policies, you know, again, if you want, she's the perfect running mate for you. the problem with the dnc as they are tone-deaf to these issues and what their party stands for and how radical it is and how disconnected it is. it might work in new york city and might work in los angeles but it doesn't work in the other states and they lose a lot of people and i think you see that in terms of the lineup they have
6:16 pm
out there tonight. >> sean: all right, she applauded l.a.'s decision to defund the police by $150 million. no private -- no choice. i thought liberals were pro-choice. no option for your own private health care plan. sponsoring the green new deal, as i said. okay. now joe said it, police become the enemy and he supports reallocating funds. okay. these people are not talking about the lack of "law & order" and safety and security and all these liberal cities that have been run by liberal democrats for decades. >> it's true. go to florida, go to the carolinas, incredibly safe. go to texas, incredibly safe. you go to democratic strongholds, go to portland, seattle, minneapolis, chicago and new york city and look at the difference between these
6:17 pm
states. there is one common denominator in all those states, they are run by radical, radical leftists. both mayors and governors. their policies don't work. we've seen the case studies, they don't work. we don't know how this movie ends. we saw it over the last three months in new york, strip out 1,000 undercover nypd officers in crime goes up by 300%. this isn't a difficult thing to figure out and i don't know why they continue to double down on it, this is not winning issue for them. stripping private health care is not a winning issue, getting rid of the second amendment are not a winning issue. coming after people's religion, not a winning issue. i don't get it, i don't get why this is the policy but you see the speakers lined up including elizabeth warren and i'm so glad you mentioned that she was at the native american roundtable yesterday, these people are tone-deaf, they really are, they don't get this country, they don't get what america stands for and that's when my father is going to beat these guys in 73
6:18 pm
days. >> sean: 76 but who's counting? close enough. certainly closer than their estimates for the cost of the new green deal. eric trump, thank you. obama is set to speak later tonight, thankfully not in this hour and earlier today the white house's president actually waiting on obama and biden and their record, something i've mentioned quite a lot in 2016. i will remind everyone a lot this year, too. >> when i look at what we have and look at how bad he was, how ineffective a president he was, he was so ineffective, so terrible. president obama did not do a good job and the reason i'm here is because of president obama and joe biden. if they did a good job i wouldn't be here and probably if they did a good job i wouldn't even run, i would have been very happy. i enjoyed my previous life very much. but they did such a bad job that i stand before you as, thank thank you all very much.
6:19 pm
>> sean: here with reaction, senior advisor to the trump campaign, jared kushner. 13 million more americans food stamps, 8 million more in poverty after eight years, lowest labor participation rate in the '70s, lowest homeownership rate and 51 years and by the way they accumulated more debt then all 43 previous administrations before them combined. not exactly a good record, jared kushner. >> it's good for you to reunite us. what we saw this week is president trump out the first piece deal in the middle east. when we got into office the middle east was a total mess, isis had a caliphate the size of ohio, a pathway to a nuclear weapon, funding terrorism all over the world, president trump went to the middle east, got all the arab and muslim leaders together and said we had to do
6:20 pm
things differently, he reestablished his relationship with israel and that led to last week, president trump achieving success that nobody thought was possible, they all ridiculed him for trying to accomplish which is the most significant piece deal in the middle east in the last 26 years between israel and the united arab emirates. i'm hearing a lot of lecturing moralists tell us about how things should be but president trump and this administration, we have a lot of businessmen, people who are held accountable. if you don't make it you get fired like what happens in the real world and president trump demands real results and that's what he is to deliver. >> sean: in a weird way it's because of the 150 billion barack and joe gave iran and got nothing for it, zero, nothing except they kept chanting "death to america" as soon as the plane took off, but something did happen as a result. as a fear in the middle east
6:21 pm
region, you have the u.s.-israel, jordan, egypt, the saudis, the emirates uniting in ways that were unthinkable. because of what they did do that literally put the entire region in jeopardy. speak on their policy was so bad and destructive that they left the entire region in shambles and left all of america's allies feeling betrayed. you hear the democrats talk about how donald trump would ruin alliances. he's rebuilt all of our alliances. what all those countries had in common is they felt totally betrayed by america and our long-standing relationships. that led to them getting together and the previous administration taking credit for this deal, that's like joe biden claiming he gets credit for the historic criminal justice reform that president trump passed
6:22 pm
because in 1994 he wrote the terrible racist laws that disproportionally sent black people to prison and because he did such a terrible law we had to come and fix the criminal justice reform system. that's like him taking credit for that as well. it's absolutely ridiculous rate >> sean: so it wasn't barack and joe who beat the caliphate in syria, it was president tru president trump. biden was against taking out bin laden. we've also had the president taking out the al qaeda leader in yemen, african-american, record low after record low unemployment for every demographic. more money for the longest period of time, you go straight on down the list, criminal justice reform, police reform, they didn't get any of that done. donald trump did. >> i've been doing this for five years when i first got involved in the last campaign,
6:23 pm
president trump's motto was "america first." and at the time, they'll criticize that i saying it was all kinds of things that were terrible, how do i put american workers first, i know i and all of these endless wars and that's what he's been doing, he has peace framework in afghanistan, a peace agreement in the middle east, bringing his troops home, he's read negotiating deals. the previous administration, they made a deal called ppp, threatening to help the american workers, that deal would have sent all of our jobs oversee and overseas and president trump, he made a new trade deal with mexico, new trade deal with canada, new trade deal with south korea, new trade deal with japan and the first person to take on china. we've seen president trump deliver results time and time again, cleaning up over the last three years a lot of the messes that were left behind by the previous administration. >> sean: we got to let you go, things are being with us but
6:24 pm
think about this. over 50 years in the swamp, biden, pelosi, schumer, 125 years combined, what have they done to make our lives better? we gave you a lot of donald trump's record. we have a lot of breaking news, s maki a big push for gun control, we will explain what is going to happen to your second amendment rights if joe and kamala are elected. also, texas governor greg abbott will join us. karl rove, the architect, ari fleischer much more. glad you're with us. it's "hannity" on fox. ♪

6:28 pm
you need to relax tom. oh! tom, you need a little tom time. a little tt. stop living with at&t. xfinity delivers gig speeds to more homes than anyone. >> sean: joe biden, the ever forgetful and kamala harris, desperately pandering to the extreme radical left of their party. health care, you don't even get
6:29 pm
their own choice anymore. immigration, open borders, amnesty and the united sanctuary states of america and attacking your second amendment. harris publicly supported gun confiscation and by the way, meaning by executive order. let's forget the other branch of government. remember, biden said that beto o'rourke will be put in charge of whether or not you get to own a firearm. >> yes, we are going to take your ar-15, your ak-47. >> i'm going to guarantee this is not the last you are seeing of this guy, you are going to take care of the gun problem with me. >> sean: as the radical list, socialist lawless left doubles down, they are committed to dismantling police to farmers all across the country. texas governor greg abbott who is proposing freezing property taxes in cities that defined the police.
6:30 pm
here with reaction, governor abbott. good to see you. let me ask first to be a question. i understand the pattern seems to be holding, you get a hot spot, you've had it in texas, the curve flattens, that goes up a little bit, then you get a drop off and now we are having a dramatic drop off, i understand, is that correct? >> we are seeing good numbers in the state of texas. most importantly the numbers we are looking at the hospitalization numbers and the number of people hospitalized as well as those in intensive care units are on the decline so this is good news for the state of texas, we need to keep it going so we can begin to open up even more in the lone star state. >> sean: that's happened in california, arizona, and florida seeing the same thing, lowest infection rate i saw it according to johns hopkins on monday since june. let's get to this issue of these cities in texas that plan to defund to the police, kamala
6:31 pm
harris supported defending the l.a.p.d., joe biden said he's for reallocating funds away and police become the enemy. this is a scary proposition. we see what's happening in cities run by liberal democrats for decades, most of them blue states run by liberal democrats for decades. tell me how this works in texas. >> you've seen and you have documented what happened in portland, in seattle, in chicago, new york, in cities across the country. now austin, texas, has defunded law enforcement police in austin, texas, despite the fact that over the first six months of this year, the city ranked number one in the united states for the highest percentage increase in murders was austin, texas, and we proposed a law yesterday that would apply to all cities in the state of texas if a city defines
6:32 pm
law enforcement, they will lose the lifeblood of the revenues they receive from property taxes in texas. what this does is it is going to defund cities and cities ability to operate at all if they try to defund law enforcement. we believe in law enforcement in texas and we are not going to allow a replication of the types of policies we've seen destroyed in cities like seattle and portland and others. >> sean: how do you rationalize, what is your interpretation of this effort, you have a democratic presidential candidate supporting the defund effort or reallocating more in the case of kamala harris, totally defunding which she supported and has said publicly. you see the violence out of control in all these cities, and portland and seattle, we saw what happened in the summer of love zone.
6:33 pm
64 people shot in chicago including three teenagers and a 12-year-old, this is, these are war zones and that they reject the help, they need to ask the president for help, he's begging them to take it to restore order. but they refuse. i can't comprehend that, i don't understand that, makes no sense to me. >> they are caving to the forces of socialism either blind or maybe even knowing that it turns that force of socialism over to other people who will hijack the city like you saw in the autonomous zone in seattle. so texas is laying down a marker and that is, will it be the city of austin or other city such actions are not going to be tolerated in texas, we embrace law enforcement, we will not accept turning power over to the socialistic forces that seek to abandon the rule of la law and abandon the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to keep our communities
6:34 pm
safe. >> sean: do you think a presidential campaign that's hiding, 34 questions since march by our account versus donald trump in the same time. matt, do you think adopting bolshevik bernie's economic pl plan, defunding the police, radically higher taxes, no more fossil fuels will be energy-dependent and amnesty. and the united sanctuary states of america. do you think as they get informed, they will vote for that? >> what you will be seeing here in the next two months, the remainder of august and september and october, you're
6:35 pm
going to see people in pennsylvania, and all of the flyover states, the people who really care about public safety, the people who really care about the second amendment rights, the people who really care about all the things that is made america so great. they are going to coalesce. around exactly the principles that donald trump has been supporting as he has been president as opposed to the ideas that biden is promoting. >> sean: all right, thank you for being with us as always. tonight the infomercial dnc, are going to feature remarks from hillary clinton. from the presidency in 2016, that ended in an anna disaster d a failure despite a stage-managed campaign and the media mob that refused to vet her. it is biden becoming hillary 2.0 by falling in the same kinds of traps that hillary clinton and
6:36 pm
her campaign, joining us now, former deputy white house chief of staff, fox news could you better karl rove, constantly lies about me, constantly says i never send him a white board. i've sent him three whiteboards. i'm kidding, karl rove, good to see you. >> none of which the hierarchy of fox allowed me to use bates be when i understand. something wrong with them and i have a pretty good idea what. >> i was right. >> sean: okay. listen, political junkies, we live, eat, breathe, sleep. we've never had a major political party this radical. their stated views, stated agenda. how does that play in pennsylvania, no fracking, ohio, georgia, north carolina, how does it play in minnesota, michigan, how does it play in new hampshire?
6:37 pm
>> it all depends on what happens in the next 70 some odd days. the gigantic megaphone, a disciplined effort to draw a contrast between and joe biden. it's going to turn out the way we think it ought to turn out. he makes this about, i'm going to do this as your president for, joe biden wants to do that, it requires discipline, requires him to be ready to begin next week. the important speech for him next week is the acceptance speech where he has to do three things that are difficult to do. he has 21, explain in short and concrete terms what it is that he's done. more importantly he has to say what it is he wants to do. that second act is absolutely vital. then he needs to find time in that speech to contrast himself with the joe biden in a way that sticks. that's difficult to do, i suspect the speechwriters have been hard at work on that for a while and seemingly the white house policy apparatus has
6:38 pm
been preparing ideas for the second term agenda but we will see it a week from tomorrow and it's going to be the most important speech the president has given in the last four years. >> sean: disciplined messaging, you know, the biggest choice election in history, stay focused on that and being president at the same time is the formula. if the president does this for 76 days he wins? >> well, it's a way that he can win but you've got to deliver the message in a way that reaches the swing voters. both parties right now are appealing to their base. they are talking to their tv ads and public statements in a way that energizes the base by and large. a couple moments during the democratic debate where they were playing the swing voters but the election is going to be decided by ten, 11, 12% of the electorate that can move one way or the other. we will see this race naturally tighten up after the republican convention. i think it's going to be sort of aura five points so fighting for
6:39 pm
that, the majority of that 10%, 12% is going to be absolutely critical and that's where the campaign is going to win, focus its language. >> sean: understandable and okay, does biden get to hide the rest of the way? i hear that he and kamala are going to do an interview with "people" magazine. 34 questions he's taken since march. no presidential candidate gets away with the spirit >> unbelievable. "people" magazine, the very compliant joey reed and the foulmouthed rapper and that's it. they are going to have to subject themselves to tough interviews and they better for their own self because they go into the base, something about doing those, doing chris wallace or jake tapper, that causes people to say, i've got to get

two, you see the parties have major ships and who belongs to each party. all college-educated voters. democrats have been hemorrhaging working-class blue-collar vote voters. that's what's so fascinating to me about this election. donald trump is increasingly the champion of working people in this country and that's why working people, people with high school degrees, increasingly are voting republican and voting trump. it's a major generational change. reporters being college graduates themselves and being surrounded by similar minded thinking people still don't see that story, they've missed it in 2016 and i have to wonder if they are missing it again now. >> sean: the mob in the media, a massive psycho sic psychosis, that's why i call them the mob. they don't have the honesty and integrity to talk about
6:47 pm
hillary's deleted emails, dirty russian disinformation dossier, didn't have the credibility, they defended the real quid pro quo with joe and a zero experience hunter. you talk about demographics, you mention suburban women and i'm thinking, okay, law and order. do they not see these liberal democratic cities, what about minorities where the president, not barack and joe set record unemployment for every demographic group. every american wants a nice safe neighborhood, a shot at the american dream, good education for their kids, that's universal, isn't it, for every american? >> absolutely and i think what's going on in the cities has a chance of having the president and some of the suburbs particularly with women, people who worry about public safety. the president's goal next week has to be based plus, he's got
6:48 pm
to rev up the base, bring out people who previously gave up on politics because i didn't think it mattered, bring them out to vote buddies got to go beyond that and the plus group i continue to see his african-americans, particularly african-american younger men and this is where criminal justice reform is essential for the presenpresident to talk about. he's delivered on things and it's made a difference in people's lives. the lowest black unemployment in history, lowest hispanic unemployment in history, these are areas that the president can do much better than republicans traditionally do. please, don't forget that next week, mr. president, hit that in your events at the convention, include that in your speech. base plus. >> sean: base plus what percentage? >> i think if he gets 15% of the african-american vote which is conceivable, it's going to mean a huge difference in the swing states, pennsylvania, michigan, minnesota, florida.
6:49 pm
huge difference in those industrial battleground states. an employer as well. georgia it would make a big difference, keeping georgia in the trump category. so that's a percentage i'm looking for their pay of the other factor is what percentage of people are new voters? the president has done very well with that group, a tremendous number of blue-collar working class people who don't think it matters. and that's the group the president has a chance to exci excite. >> sean: ari fleischer, as always, thank you for being with us. we have our panel coming up. reince priebus, governor huckabee and tammy bruce. let's just very briefly check in with failed presidential candidate hillary clinton who is still lashing out because she can't believe she lost four years ago, listen for a minute. >> and her press secretary tyrone gale was dying of cancer she dropped everything to be with him in his final moments. i know something about the slings and arrows she will face and believe me, this former
6:50 pm
district attorney and attorney general can handle them all. so this is the team to poll our nation back from the brink. but they can't do it without us. for four years, people have told me, "i didn't realize how dangerous he was. i wish i could do it all over." or worse, "i should've voted." look. this can't be another would've, could've, should've election. if you vote by mail, request your ballot now and send it back right away. if you vote in person, do it early. become a poll worker. most of all, no matter what, vote. as michelle obama and bernie sanders warned us -- >> sean: at least she mentioned kamala harris. michelle obama didn't. failed 2016 presidential candidate, cricket hillary clinton. the deleted subpoena a mouse, the hard drive and a device is
6:51 pm
busted up with hammers. she's the one that paid for the dirty russian misinformation dossier that the mob and never. anyway. remember, she delivered her address, this came one night after her husband bill clinton faced extensive criticism for speaking at the dnc. here was a reaction to what we've seen so far, michael best, law president and former white house chief of staff reince priebus, tammy bruce, former arkansas governor mike huckabee. governor huckabee, let's start with you. what this election is about. okay, i don't disagree with the base plus, i think that is always a strategy. where does the president get the plus and how does he get that? >> i think ari was exactly right but i think the key for the president is to frame this in a vertical direction, not horizontal. don't make this left, right, liberal, conservative, make it
6:52 pm
about taking us up, not down. that's a vertical approach, talk about the jobs. talk about the security that we have when we control our borders, pushing back on china to protect our jobs. a vertical, not horizontal. the president delivers that message, i think it's going to be an astounding victory. >> sean: you know, tammy, one thing i haven't heard this week, i haven't heard about american greatness, american exceptionalism, i haven't heard about, there's a reason why america needs the wall so we can that's people that want to come in legally. i've heard nothing uplifting, just a pounding hard core left and what they are going to do, free, free, free promises and get rid of oil and gas and raise taxes and open borders and amnesty and i'm like, wow, are they going to restore law and order? let's start there with the basics.
6:53 pm
>> yeah, it's fascinating and it's a disservice to everyone who has looked to the democratic party for some kind of leadership. what they get instead are word salads, a lot of platitudes, sanctimony, veiled threats, dynamic where it's depressing, you watch this, there was a reason why the ratings were down, you turn this on and there is nothing, nothing optimistic or exciting about being in the greatest country on earth. instead they are still in fear and loathing of donald trump because of their envy and jealousy. the fact is and it's already been mentioned tonight, the president is the president because he looks at all americans, he's criticized for not necessarily being ideological. it is the forgotten man and woman that he appealed to in 2016 because he understands them and he came to love this country and it's those same individuals who now have realized they voted
6:54 pm
correctly, it was right to elect donald trump, that we want the future. we do not want the past and this is what i think you're going to see from what i've read about what the convention next week will be is the great american stories as opposed to the misery that the democrats are living in and they want everyone else to live in. they have not brought up the violence, the anarchy, the riots in american cities. they don't bring it up, they don't want to have to answer for it so that is what the issue is. security, safety for your family, the ability to look to the future at something optimistic, the decision is clear. the president is the same guy he was in 2016 and clearly he's got a great deal to talk about what he's able to deliver, the media has conspired against him to keep those stories out of the living rooms of the american people but everyone is beginning to watch and we will see those numbers change once the convention begins tonight just like i saw the president in '16.
6:55 pm
do not underestimate him, he knows what to do, he should trust his instinct and we will be fine. >> sean: i don't know what to make of it. when you have a 48% decline for 2016 for the selection and viewership from the big networks, that is not a small decline. and hillary was not actually candidate excitement and 48%, that is dramatic. do we glean anything from that at all? i find the whole thing totally, completely unwatchable. >> thanks, sean. the reality is these conventions right now especially, it's not live band of the people part of it is subtracted, these are not persuadable voters that are tuning in here, that are set in
6:56 pm
stone. to your point, these conventions are usually other than the election, the super bowls of politics and the democrats are playing the exact same game plan that they did in 2016, just go back and look. hillary clinton in 2016 declared that trump created a moment of reckoning. obama said that trump was full of anger and hate. two steams in 2016, the qualifications of hillary clinton and that trump was too divisive. and they, if you go back and watch it, they played the russia card, the divisive card, the ugly rhetoric card, and you know what? the country chose to drain the swamp and crash the way that things used to be. you know, it's the same thing again and if you listen to them, what tammy just said and governor huckabee just said,
6:57 pm
100% right, to build the wall, protect the american worker, confront china an end these wars that never stopped. that is an 80% platform that the american people can get behind. >> sean: 40 seconds each for you all, what should the rnc learned this week from the dnc convention. governor? >> make our convention more entertaining, more watchable, make it something that is worth watching. i would say to the president, don't feed the sharks, don't waste your time with them, feed the good fish out there. the sharks, let the rest of us as surrogates take care of them. to want to take deep down and really reflect upon what this country is about.
6:58 pm
>> let the optimism and love that the president has for the american people feed the nature of what it is that's presented. what is failed at the democratic convention and has continued to fail is there a contempt the american people and how everything is contrived, there's nothing genuine. president trump is the most genuine guy we've got. he shows it all the time and they can focus on that and let that feed the nature of what it is. i think it will be naturally terrific. >> i think people want to have fun, people want to say something positive. that's what people want to see, not this in the mud, we hate living every day, waking up in the morning stinks, that's what you get from the dnc, positive, fun and we are happy to be alive. that's what we want to see.
6:59 pm
>> sean: a little extra time. wins this election in 26 days, governor huckabee, you go first. >> the president wins it because deep down america knows they can't afford joe biden. physically, they can afford and financially, can afford him politically. president trump. >> sean: you want to call it? >> president trump, 150%, 200%. americans will come down to the same kind of decision. is the future going to be mine, will it be it be optimistic and who will deliver it to me? >> sean: who wins? >> president trump is going to win on september 29th after the first debate. >> sean: okay. the event that may actually define the election historically may not have happened. quick programming note, tomorrow night president donald trump joins us live right here on "hannity" exclusively, you don't want to miss that. let's see, books a million,
