donald trump and it has taken years off of his life out of all of the fear. but often considered the dumbest person in d.c., that would be joe biden's chief of staff ron klain, now teasing joe biden his hard work and steady leadership compared to donald trump's, take a listen. >> i just think donald trump had an expectation of a president creating a [bleep] storm everything the day. i don't think it's good for the country. i don't think voters wanted. and i think 81 million of them showed up in 2020 and send a one and a different kind of president and that's who joe biden is. he comes to the oval office every morning in a serious about his work. here's serious about the change he is trying to bring to this country. >> sean: ron, are you serious, every time joe opens his mouth it is a complete adam schiff show. here's a friendly reminder. >> the idea that the um.
6:02 pm
♪ ♪ what the nature... not, when. ♪ ♪ the political coverage. that look, um, some of the political players in some of the... let me ask an important question. no, i want to. anyway. >> sean: ron, do you or anyone else at the white house feel bad putting joe in that position every day? you are living in an alternate reality. the entire presidency has been a horror show both at home and abroad. and by the way, joe's wall
6:03 pm
definitely does not go to the office or the oval office every morning as you claim. not even close. so far joe biden has spent 150 whopping days on vacation in delaware. in this weekend is headed back to the beach in delaware after a lengthy vacation in carolina where he is going to build a wall to secure his promises. joe biden is not serious about his work because he is not mentally capable of being serious about work. he can a man put his own jacket on. like a functioning adults. but in the democratic party, it just simply does not matter. democrats don't really care about joe biden's mental decline, his cognitive decline or the disaster in afghanistan. now a little over a year ago. they don't seem to care about inflation, high gas prices, and don't even care that joe's son zero experience hunter appears to have sold access to the highest levels of the u.s. federal government all to make millions and millions and millions of china russia,
6:04 pm
ukraine, and many other countries that don't particularly like the united states. but democrats claim to revere our institutions. no, they don't revere our institutions, they only care about political power, raw political power, but don't take my word for it, just listen to a popular liberal podcast host. his name is sam harris, he just says what others think. >> trump university is a story is worse than anything that could be in hunter biden's laptop in my view. now that is not -- that does not answer the people that say it's still completely unfair to not have looked at the laptop in a timely way and to have shut down "the new york post" twitter account. like that is just -- that is a left-wing conspiracy to deny the presidency to donald trump. absolutely it was. absolutely. but i think that it was warranted. >> sean: it's a means to an end, no intellectual honesty to
6:05 pm
the truth of the democratic party of today, they will lie, they will cheat, they will steal their way to the top if that's what it takes to gain power and they will do it together with one united voice. take a look at the so-called inflation reduction act or i call it that the tax of the poor come in the middle class and people on fixed income act, all it is is one giant $500 billion force and it does not even attempt to reduce inflation. it will increase inflation. it increases taxes on the poor, middle-class, fixed incomes and drives up everybody's energy cost at a time when gas is still near a record high and has 85 to 857 new agents and small businesses, bigger than three agencies of the government combined. but guess what, of the americans they will now be able to enjoy a big tax credit. if they can buy an expensive new electric vehicle or an ev as they like to call them, every
6:06 pm
single democrat in the senate voted in favor of this bill. they don't care if americans get hurt, they just want a political win. their green climates religious cult trumps everything. to these same democrats are repainting republican senate candidates in upcoming elections and midterms as cruel and out of touch. well apparently senate minority leader mitch mcconnell is content to leave them out to dry and fend for themselves. these comments are very encouraging. >> probably a greater likelihood that the house splits in the senate. the senate races are just different. they are stabilized statewide candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome. >> tucker: candidate quality coming in like in pennsylvania that democratic senate candidates, a devout socialist style in the vein of lessee, bernie sanders bernie sanders who he endorsed over joe biden. a guy that literally can't put
6:07 pm
two sentences together himself. has only been 11 minutes on the campaign trail, the guy that wants to legalize heroin and have areas where people can shoot up in public and i hope that he gets better healthwise, but it's just a simple fact. he is to the left or bernie sanders and yet you don't hear chuck schumer complaining about candidate quality in pennsylvania. how about you get out there, mitch, and fight for your team. what's your agenda, mitch, or would you rather just sit by and watch helplessly as democrats lie to your face, pass another $500 billion green energy boondoggle. next year, or is it may be mitch mcconnell once donald trump so much that he would probably rather see trumped endorsed candidates lose, this time as a leader needs to come to an end. if republicans failed to take the majority we will get even more taxis and audits and more inflation, we will get more socialism, we will get more
6:08 pm
green new deal, more mass illegal immigration, that means more friends and all, more heroin, more crime, more chaos, more carnage and a far left deep state bureaucracy left totally and completely unchecked, this is a critical inflection point for this country. of critical moment, a tipping point. if mitch does not want to help lead to his party, step aside, will find somebody who can lead and champion the candidates that are in these races. here now with more, the cohost of "the five" judge jeanine pirro, joe concha, why do i get a sinking feeling and you never hear a judge, chuck schumer criticize any democratic candidates, why does it depend on the quality candidate where he can get off and out of kentucky and go on the campaign trail and fight for every candidate and help them win. >> you know, sean, i cannot agree more, you have to wonder why he is taking a swipe and this is what he is doing. and eight backed candidate, why
6:09 pm
is he rolling over and basically giving up. you know, when he should be the one who should be out there and making sure that republicans are out there voting. you know, the party that controls the narrative is the party that controls the vote. right now mitch mcconnell should be controlling the narrative with what is going on in this country that you so aptly described in your open with this inflation reduction act, because there is nothing to do with inflation reduction. and the fact that what we got now is a leftist socialist progressive president who is not only raising taxes but hiring 87,000 new irs agents to stick it on the rest of us, but what we have got is we have taxes going up, we have inflation, and all of the problems dealing with right now and we have people saying, you know what, the fact that hunter biden was suppressed, it was a good thing. we can suppress your first amendment rights, because we don't want donald trump to be
6:10 pm
elected. these people are more than socialist, they are communists. this is like oh third world country. and mitch mcconnell ought to understand right now that if he doesn't get up and fight for republicans, then you should just get out of the way. >> sean: joe concha, you cover the media better than anybody. and i am sure that you missed humpty dumpty. the most devastating news for you. >> we have not seen the last -- thank you. >> sean: battle humpty, or media matters? it won't be any network that i can see. >> it is msnbc or media matters, one of those two. >> sean: they are one in the same, right? let me ask about the media being complicit in all of this. they are the ones that were perfectly fine with hillary's dirty russian dossier. they passed it off as being real. it was not real. they went out in unison and one
6:11 pm
voice echoing the democratic party and saying hunter biden's laptop was russian disinformation without even looking into the issue. and so you have to wonder with every election year, what will their messaging be this time, because they will be in sync with the democratic party. that we can expect, no? >> we are already seeing that, right, sean, the inflation reduction act went away as the actual name of the bill and it's called the democrats tax and health and climate change bill. suddenly inflation reduction went away because this thing does not reduce inflation. and then you know, you just see the cheering going on, right? they embrace white house chief of staff wrong claim when he compares joe biden to jfk and eisenhower as he mentioned before. one difference, those presidents were exceptionally popular and competent and coherent. and eisenhower, his approval rating was 60% while in office, jack kennedy 80% while in office, this is post inflation
6:12 pm
reduction act at 38%, 57% disapproval, so we keep hearing all the cheering from the president and its allies in the media and there are many that joe biden has the momentum, just because you pass the massive spending bill and the american public saying it will reduce inflation does not mean it is a win, and republican candidate starting with mitch mcconnell at the top in terms of voting in the senate and then saying to the candidates that are all running in place like arizona, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, this is your opportunity in the campaign ad. run against this thing and show the bold contrast that you are going to do if you get an office in terms of reducing inflation or filing crime or getting back the energy independence. but you don't hear democrats talk about it that much or about securing the u.s. southern border for that matter, and fentanyl killing young americans, because if they run on these issues they lose, so it all goes back to donald trump. >> sean: judge, it is not complicated, if republicans run on keeping every town in every city safe and secure and hiring
6:13 pm
police and eliminating no bail and refunding the police, if they run on parental rights in education and get rid of woke education without a crt and of course led gender identity first grade teaching that is been going on in the reading, writing, math, science, history and computers, i think that they will win on those issues. if they were not securing the borders, that is a winning issue. if they run on energy independence, that is a winning issue. it does not seem that complicated to me if they really push these issues hard, they will win. >> they don't even have to push the issues, all they have to do, sean is put it in front of the american people. can you afford food? can you afford gas? are you able to buy an electric car? do you feel safe in your town? do you have a job? has your business suffered? have you lost your business at a result of being locked down from covid? all of these questions, let's talk about fenton own, let's
6:14 pm
talk about the border crisis paid you don't even have to say anything other than the reality of what is happening under the democrats. and shame on mitch mcconnell. if he is ready to roll over right now, he better move out of the way, because we have the narrative and we should control the vote. >> sean: well said, judge, thank you. tonight because the democrats zero bail laws with prosecutions and a movement to define, dismantle police departments, the liberal city is right now, they have all descended into chaos, take a look at your screen, the looters ransacking ala 7-eleven, looting and theft have now been completely decriminalized especially in places like california by democrats, this is a result. that is the predictable result in new york city meanwhile violent criminals and convicted rapist, remember this guy? he is a violent criminal, a sex offender back on the street
6:15 pm
after almost killing this guy in a random attack because new york's tough on crime prosecutor does not believe that violent criminal should go to jail. this is insanity. he has since been rearrested for violating his parole and that's why he scenes like this in new york city are getting more and more common. look at this now, you are watching a taxi cab driver being robbed and killed in broad daylight. and then to make matters worse, the brand-new type of colorful fentanyl that looks like chalk is now pouring across the southern border. that chalk will kill your kids. here with reaction, fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett along with warmer white house chief of staff, there is no logical sense to defund, dismantle or no bail laws, none whatsoever. but it is being adopted by every blue state and it seems like every blue city in america and it has gone viral and they seem fine with it. i'm having a hard time understanding why they think
6:16 pm
that's a good issue to run on. >> it is not a good issue, sean. if you look at the number one and number two issues across to america, you alluded in the last segment its crime and inflation. that's why you have governor candidates across this country and in your state in new york talking about firing district attorneys on day 1 in wisconsin and other states. look at the crime rate in portland up 800%. philly, d.c., i mean, you name it. but here's the interesting thing about these democrats. the proof is in the pudding, because there is two things that come out in the last month that totally debunk what the democrats have been talking about, and that is two things. number one, stacey abrams, how much money has she spent on personal security? $450,000 for her own personal security. and in the meantime she is handing out grants to candidates who are espousing the idea of defunding the police. second thing, it came out this
6:17 pm
past week, how much money is joe biden spending and putting a fence around his home in delaware? $500,000! went on day one in an executive order when he was president he signed an executive order not to deport illegal immigrants who committed a crime and to stop building the wall. i mean, these guys are total complete hypocrites. >> sean: you know, greg, this is like a squared, bass squared equals c squared. if you allow lawbreaking, you allow violence, you allow theft and you don't punish people, and you have no bail laws and people get rearrested and let free every time, this is a predictable result. you don't have to be an mit grad or a harvard business school grad to figure this out. >> yet, but the far left liberals and the woke progresses think it is passion a bowl --
6:18 pm
fashionable to care about the criminal while ignoring the law-abiding citizens of crimes e being terrorized in their own community. the gallup poll shows that 80% of america is really worried about being victims of crime. they fear for their lives. but the woke mob, you know, thinks that it is really important to let criminals go free, because they are horribly misunderstood people. we are to blame for that. they are not to blame for it. society is guilty, so they have instituted these insane policies which is defunding police and installing incompetent judges, cast list bail, decriminalizing serious felony is down to mere misdemeanors and reducing sentencing for major crimes and releasing hard criminals out of prisons and jails. the inevitable result is
6:19 pm
lawlessness and in crime, every major category of crime has skyrocketed from shootings, murders, stabbings, death, larceny, you name it. and you know, american voters are also to blame, because he installed these far left liberals that's run these states and cities. and until they finally say "we have had enough" they have the ultimate veto power and they can get rid of these elected officials. >> sean: you know politics as well as anybody. if every republican runs on the law and order platform, runs on an education platform that empowers parents and gets rid of woke curriculum, if they run on energy independence and they run on lowering taxes, not raising taxes and they run on the idea of securing a border, how could they lose in this environment? don't you think that the american people have had it with
6:20 pm
all of this? record high gas prices, record inflation, record crime, record people entering the country illegally? >> yes, you are 100% correct, we have to stick to the 80% winners, that's what newt gingrich releases all the time, do you believe we should secure the border, protecting american worker and our children? yes, or no. do you think that violent criminals have committed a felony is that her people should be let go and cashless bail so that they can run their car through a waukesha county parade? the answer is no. and if we stick -- parents have a say over their kids education and whether teachers should be teaching kids incessantly about you know, transgender issues across the border, ending answer is no, they should have a say. so if you stick to the 80% and keep it simple, in this environment with this president
6:21 pm
that screwed everything up, the republicans should not be losing anywhere. and i don't think they will. i think that it will be a great year. >> sean: all right, i hope you are right. the senate is always tough on we have every bellwether state, as you know not every state is going to be an easy run for the republican side, because they are middle states. we'll see what happens and if this becomes a wave election, which i hope it can be. coming up, congressman matt gaetz has uncovered some disturbing documents about the biden administration, and plan to use the dhs to censor freedom of speech. that's right, the thought police are back. we will explain straight ahead. ♪ ♪

breaking news out of washington tonight as congressman matt gaetz says he is now uncovered documents that show that the biden administration is trying to use the dhs to become the new ministry of truth and shut down dissent on all social media platforms all under the banner of so-called disinformation. now and audited report from the department says "we recommend the dhs develop a unified strategy to counter disinformation campaigns that appear on social media, translation, we want a sensor conservatives and decide what is true or not true. the same people that sold us the russian disinformation dossier, the same people that said hunter biden's laptop was russian disinformation. those people? remember it was earlier in the year that the biden administration faced a major backlash for the so-called disinformation run by a woman who pushed a lie that the hunter biden laptop was russian disinformation. we were told that that effort
6:28 pm
was disbanded, but these documents now appear to suggest otherwise and appear to suggest that the biden team is now undertaking a more unified approach throughout the entire department of homeland security. here to explain, matt gaetz, by the way his runoff, your primary on tuesday, good luck to you, sir. >> thank you so much, sean. and it is a feature of fascism, not freedom when the government tries to control the very nature of truth itself. that's why there were such a strong backlash the first time the biden government tried to do this. now we see documents where the inspector general of the department of homeland security is saying the real problem in our federal government is that we aren't using the national security apparatus to control truth. to try to disparage information that might be harmful to the bidens. and as you said, the largest provider of disinformation is often times the national security apparatus of our own government.
6:29 pm
we saw that with the russian dossier. we saw that with the phony effort to impeach president trump over the ukraine hoax, and we have seen it again with the national security threat, and supporters in washington know it and have tried to ratchet up their efforts to be able to give the effort of what our fellow americans can see and think, because they want to control how people behave. we have to expose this again and get the same type of backlash that we saw the first time they tried to do it. >> sean: you have this exchange with matt olson who is the assistant attorney general where he would not answer the question of hunter biden as a security threat and where you pressed him really hard on the whereabouts of hunter's laptop and the investigation. >> do you know where hunter biden's laptop is? >> i will not talk about any
6:30 pm
ongoing investigations. >> do you know where it is? >> i will not talk about any ongoing investigation. >> you can even follow a laptop you guys have had for three years prior to the good news is you are not the only ones with that laptop, so patrick was convicted of bribing government officials in africa and you gave him a million bucks to hunter biden. are you familiar with that? >> i'm not going to speak about any ongoing investigation. >> it's not an ongoing investigation? >> i will not talk about any potential ongoing investigation? >> don't you see that's a belief to you guys when you have whistle-blowers saying that you are purposefully holding this information and you won't talk about it. >> sean: in light of the rate of mar-a-lago and what they did to roger stone and in light of paul manafort in light of what they have done to peter navarro, how many years have they had this laptop and based on miranda devine's book, the laptop from, don't you know that there are evidence of crimes on that laptop, and he took them on and
6:31 pm
a pretty hard way and whatever happened to that? >> going on three years the fbi has had possession of this laptop, and it is not the personal behavior that is most interesting, it is a chinese business deals and the expectation that jill biden himself will personally profit off of the work that hunter biden is doing at the expense of our fellow americans meeting the chinese embassy, licenses from the communist party that hunter could not get without the help of his father and the access that the vice president provided. sean, this is a crime spree we are witnessing in progress and i think the very reason why the department of homeland security wants to ratchet down on our discourse and our dissent is because they know how vulnerable and compromised the first family is and we are watching a crime and parallel a cover-up that has been run by the national security stage, 14 fbi whistle-blowers have come forward and they have detailed
6:32 pm
the political bias in the fbi and we have all of the tools now when we get subpoena power and deposition power to really go into the battles of that agency, because there is a lot of swamp to be drained in the deep state. >> sean: you also have this show, i would gladly put on any of the whistle-blowers. we will put them in the silhouette and if they want to tell their story, we will let them tell the story right here on tv. after all, i thought democrats, they love hearsay whistle-blowers so much, i thought that they would love a real whistle-blower for once. what do you think? >> and these whistle-blowers say what you say on air often which is that there are good people in the fbi who are working to protect americans and those patriots when they observe this political activity, this bias, this favoritism for the bidens and the effort to destroy trump at all costs, they are speaking up. and what i think once we get that majority in jim jordan and i are running these to the

6:39 pm
credit, do you recall all of this out from the get-go including origins of the coronavirus and this wuhan virology lab that apparently nih money went to as well. >> yeah, it's about time that the cdc actually admits their failures, but i think admitting their failures they say the road to recovery it means acknowledging you have a problem. but i think that admitting their failure they still aren't acknowledging what the solution is. their solution is oh, maybe we were too slow to institute mandates because we were debating the science. i think that the opposite is true, they were looking at the science and misinterpreting it and then drawing conclusions that meant oh, we should put masks on all of our children. while comp countries like sweden did not put children in masks at all. the children did not get sick and die and neither did the teachers and yet, the conclusions we drew from the cdc i think were incorrect and it led to a great deal of setbacks for our children. but you are right, the biggest error that they made was not
6:40 pm
acknowledging that once you have had covid, you have immunity and then it is protected. by not acknowledging that, they were pushing for core five boosters in saying that 2-year-old children need to have boosters, there is no truth to that. there is no evidence, i asked i asked dr. fauci this. there's no evidence in a booster for a child protects transmission, hospitalization, or death. the only thing a booster does is your child will make antibodies to a booster, but there is no evidence that it is of any benefit to your job to get a booster. >> sean: and there was no science behind what they were trying to push on children either. you got the virus very early and you were very public about it, and he talked more than anybody else about her natural immunity. for those that may not know, you are a medical doctor as well. did you ever get any of the vaccines? you don't have to answer that question if you don't want. >> no, i didn't, i am not anti-vaccine, i'm pro science.
6:41 pm
i am pro-immunity. if you asked dr. fauci, there is a clip from 2006 where her mother says my son has had the flu, does he need to take a flu vaccine? and dr. fauci correctly response no. if you have had the virus, that is the best inoculation ever. it is better than a vaccine. that's what he said in 2006, that is still true. we don't want to get covid, but if you already had covid coming to have been inoculated. it is a great deal of protective effect more than twice the protective effect of a vaccine, and in all of the study show that it is long-lasting. but because they don't acknowledge this and because they don't study this, they keep going blindly onto more, more vaccines. you half to have more vaccines. what i want to know is if you have had it, what is your risk? it turns out your risk of going to the hospital is 57 less than somebody who has not had it. it is very protective, but until they acknowledge that as long as they ignore that science, they are not being honest with the american public.
6:42 pm
and no amount of overall cdc will work if they are not honest about the scientific data. >> sean: isn't this the same dr. fauci in 2012 that said he would support a gain-of-function research even if it resulted in a worldwide pandemic? is that the guy you are talking about? >> it's the same guy. it's the same guy who also was complicit with these doctors who wrote to lancet journal and said oh, it is a conspiracy theory to say that this came from the lab. i think this is the biggest cover-up in modern medicine. and when we get to the bottom of it and we take over the senate and we take over the house, we will investigate the origins of this, because it is serious. there are labs around the world doing experiments on viruses that have 50% mortality trying to make them more transmissible to trying to make them more infectious. this is a death wish for humanity, and we must do something about it and dr. fauci is added to the very origins of this, because he funded the

proper ammunition where he comingled live rounds with blank rounds, and she was great at her job and she died. and that hurts me every day. you know, every day i think about that, it's horrible. >> sean: taken years off of his life, we remember recently that alec baldwin might've lied to george stephanopoulos when he said he did not pull the trigger as a report from federal law enforcement concluded just the opposite that he had to pull the trigger. with reaction fox news contributor tammy bruce along with marlee shimkus, good to see you both. i want to focus on one thing he says here, interestingly they kept the video off. they did not post the video, but they did post the transcript, and he said it has taken years off of his life and has cost him professionally. this woman lost her life, you know? can you be a bigger hollywood nurse assisted then him?
6:50 pm
and then he goes on to blame everybody else but himself in this case, which he had not done previously. so is it all about him? or is it about this poor woman that died? >> well, i think that's exactly why they did not show the video, because it had more of an impact when you see him saying it himself and that would get played over and over and over again paired when you just post the transcript, you eliminate the ability, or at least the inclination to play that over again, because it is so shocking. helena hutchins would agree that yes, her entire life was taken away, and there was another injury. remember, he also entered the director, the same bullets went and seriously injured the director. so he survived and i think that there are two things going on here. one, donald trump serves as a distraction, the firearm that in order to shoot the trigger had to be polled directly contradicts alec baldwin's assertions. so when you bring up
6:51 pm
donald trump, just like everyone else does, it really distracts people. but secondly, i think that this is a dynamic and it reminded me of harvey weinstein, when he was caught, he issued a statement saying, i am now going to go after the nra. but the issue -- and he has known for being powerful on the issues, right? does not say anything about harvey weinstein, because it would hurt the issue and suddenly here's alec baldwin saying trump is hurting me. and he is the bad guy. and there is a method to this madness. and i think that it shows you the level of desperation, the fact that in these comments he can't stop himself. his lawyers certainly should try to stop him, but he really exposes himself for being a malignant narcissist and a man who still only is thinking about himself in this context when a woman is dead and another individual wounded. >> sean: you know, carly, i like tammy's adjectives, that
6:52 pm
narcissist that he has his entire life. he will look at this whole thing, how does he get to the point betty blames donald trump for this and what is it about the years that it is taken off of his life. how did it become all about him? and then blaming anybody and everybody, and then he has this legal problem because he said on national tv that he did not pull the trigger and law enforcement things otherwise. >> i remember when the first images of alec baldwin leaked after he remembered helena hutchins had died and he was distraught and doubled over in agony and clearly this was unintentional. and that's why i'm so surprised that somewhere between then and now it seems like he forgot that he is not the victim. he needs to start doing some interviews where he stops talking about himself and says, listen, i know that there is a lot of attention on me right now, but let's remember the real victim here. her name is helena hutchins, she was great at her job. she had a husband and young
6:53 pm
child, and there is a scholarship on enter a name that everybody should donate to. she is being completely forgotten in the story and i hate that that is happening. but it is happening in part because he is doing these interviews where you saying these wild things and making headlines about himself and ultimately playing the victim. >> sean: you know, tammy, i have to believe that all of this is being watched by her family and i would not at all be surprised at the massive lawsuit on him that comes his way very soon, what do you think? >> well, look, there are criminal issues which we don't know where those will go, again, he certainly denies being responsible, but keep in mind also -- >> sean: it's a liberal, so he will get off, only hold conservatives accountable. >> that's it, but when you are thinking about the leftover responsibility as he is trying to send off the assertion that he was responsible if ammunition is comingled or whatever, he has
6:54 pm
the ultimate responsibility, so beyond criminal aspects, there will be civil aspects involved, originally he was trying to be close to the husband and family, that apparently according to reports has soured and of course there is whether there is enough insurance, but there are insurance policies and clearly he is at extreme risk. for several reasons he thinks being in the public eye will help him. sometimes it does, rights, we have a history of celebrities getting away, liberal celebrities getting away with things, but this is i think so horrific and so unconscionable and his attitude is so remarkable that i don't think that any jury is going to be able to accept just him being famous as being the excuse. >> sean: carly, do you see a lawsuit coming? >> you know what, i do. and his explanation about what happened with the gun is the only thing, i think what he is trying to say is that he pulled the hammer back, but never
6:55 pm
squeeze the trigger and somehow the gun went off, but i talked to joey jones about this, and he summed it up in a really good way saying basically what alec baldwin explanation is is an admission that he doesn't know how to handle a firearm properly. but even taken the gun out of this, he was the producer on this film set, and when you are the leader, you get outside praise when things go right, and your shoulder the blame when things go wrong. so i think a little bit of humility would go a long way in the situation. >> sean: even george clooney said that when he has a gun on a set, he checks that himself and views that it's his responsibility once they handed over to him. and obviously alec baldwin did not do that here. we appreciate you both being with us. carly, thank you, and tammy bruce. we will have more "hannity" right after this. ♪ ♪
