today's theme at the republican national convention is make america safe again, lieutenant colonel ralph peterso the talk about that. welcome, colonel peters. i have to ask you right off the bat how do you, a seasoned military man, see the make america safe again slogan? >> as a slogan. the proof is in the pudding. liz, i have grave reservations about both parties' leading candidates, mrs. clinton and mr. trump. but to be fair, on the specific issue of safety and security, there's no question that mr. trump would be a better choice on that particular count. because he's not politically correct. political correctness is killing cops, whereas mrs. clinton, she's just too indebted to so many factions, so many dividers, so many rabble-rousers like al sharpton, she'll never fully get behind the police. and, of course, her record about security abroad is dreadful. the reset button with russia, benghazi, refusing to believe that islamist terrorism has anything to do with islam. so certainly on that count -- liz: okay. >> -- it almost pains me to say it, but i'd say mr. trump's got a huge edge. liz: yo

retired lieutenant colonel ralph peters. welcome, lieutenant colonel. what is your opinion on the he said/she said of fbi director james comey and hillary clinton? >> deirdre, got to say first, this is a bad day for america, and a terrible day for the rule of law. the evidence is overwhelming that hillary clinton knowingly and callously and repeatedly broke the law, compromised classified information and walked away from it. she made a bet that she was too big to jail, and she was right, and so what we saw -- the fbi director laid out the case point by point of why she was guilty, guilty, guilty and said never mind. and this is going to be director comey's legacy. this is what historians will remember, that he folded in the clinch. and as you know, i am not a big trump supporter, i'm not a trump supporter at all, i'm not a clinton supporter. i think this is a contest between satan and lucipher but hillary clinton -- i was an intelligence officer, i worked in the world for over 20 years. i without hyperbole, i would have gone to prison for doing a fracti

"hannity" starts right here, right now. >>> welcome to "hannity." tonight the fbi decides not to recommend criminal charges over hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server during her time and tenure as secretary of state. this comes despite the fact that the bureau said that clinton and her staff were, quote, extremely careless with how they handled classified information. here's fbi director james comey from earlier today. >> secretary clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the state department. she also used numerous mobile devices to send and to read e-mail on that personal domain. from the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the state department in 2014, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. although we did not find clear evidence that se

lieutenant colonel ralph peters. good to have you here today. he talked about "gucifer," the hacker who originally said he hacked clinton's server. we found out today "gucifer" lied. how many other hackers out there that could have accessed her server? >> did access her server, i have no doubt about it. having worked in intelligence these people are always trying. they covered up their tracks and they're pretty good. comey admitted that two days in his remarks. who hacked her? russians probably. they were so stunned is this big cia hoax? no secretary of state of america could be that stupid. they verified. chinese, russians, iranians, french, israelis, possibly the north koreans. any number of other non-state players. i think, cheryl, what is getting missed in this, how terrible it is that she had information above top secret, special access programs, special compartmentalized information on there, as pad as that is, even if mrs. clinton had not had a single piece of classified information on those emails -- cheryl: which she did. >> she had a l

lieutenant colonel ralph peters. why? >> because it hurts the narrative.nd the one thing the obama administration will do at all costs is protect the narrative that i laum is a religion of peace. nobody believes it but this is the hard left approach where you just stick to the party line. stick to the party i have symp them a little bit. if they admit it, that islamic terrorism has something to do with islam, their security policy collapses. obama's pride comes into it. he doesn't admit he's wrong. so it's more important to preserve the myth than to protect the american people. >> dr. gorka, what is your reaction to this? it seems that not admitting radical islam is radical islam, it seems to be a path logical obsession not to tell anything. >> sean, if you want to see how path logical it is, watch the video just posted from the senate judiciary this week. senator cruz asked why are there in more mention of the word jihad in dhs documents? why have official training manuals been scrubbed? it's exactly as colonel peters says. there is a narrative that has t

lieutenant ralph peters. what did you think of josh earnest's comments the other day?trikes and bloodless war and the obama administration's carried it to the extent we keep apologizing and where our soldiers on the battlefield or pilot in the air have to worry about being court-martialed for making an honest mistake over a battlefield and you cannot win like that. these numbers, 116 -- 64 to 116 civilians dead, look every civilian death may be regrettable but in the scheme of things in the history of warfare that is chump change or less. we have done an amazing job of minimizing collateral damage to the extent that we're not being fully effective. >> well, the obama administration doesn't agree with you because president obama's tasked his staff with, you know, reducing civilian casualties. let's take a look at this executive order. the u.s. government shall maintain and promote best practices that reduce the likelihood of civilian casualties take appropriate steps when such casualties occur and draw lessons from our operations to further enhance the protection of cit
