NO CALLS TO ARE FIRING, NO CANCELLATIONS, NO BOYCOTTS. DEMOCRATS HAVE A TERRIBLE TRACK RECORD WHEN IT COMES TO RACE AND EQUALITY. AND THE RIGHTS OF HUMAN BEINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS MORNING CONGRESSWOMAN AOC, ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ ASKED SENATOR TED CRUZ TO EXPLAIN THE HISTORY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. CRUZ RESPONDED, IT WAS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT FOUNDED THE KKA. DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT WROTE JIM CROW LAWS. THEN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WAS THE ONE THAT FILIBUSTERED THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. ADD TO THIS OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HE WAS WORKING TO STOP THE INTEGRATION OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT THEM TO BECOME "RACIAL JUNGLES." THOSE WERE JOE BIDEN'S WORD, WORDS, AND HE PARTNERED WITH THE FORMER GRAND PUBABYRD, BIDEN ALSO GAVE THAT EULOGY AT THE FORMER EXALTED CYCLOPS OF THE CLAN, ROBERT KKKBYRD, HIS MENTOR AS HE CALLED HIM AT THE TIME. DEMOCRATS JAR TEMPTING TO USE RACE, THEY DO IT EVERY TWO YEARS, EVERY FOUR YEARS AS A DIVISIVE SEMI MARXIST POLITICAL STUDENT, DIVIDING THIS COUNTRY, YOU KNOW, BLACK VERSUS WHITE, OLD VERSUS YOUNG, RICH VERSUS POOR, DIVIDE ANYWAY THEY CAN. CERTAIN RACES AS PERPETUAL VICTIM ITS, OTHERS AS EVIL OPPRESS SORES. HERE IS SENATOR AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, WELL, TIM SCOTT, TAKE A LOOK. >> I DO THINK THIS IS A DIFFERENCE IN HOW WE COMMUNICATE. NO QUESTION TO MY LIFE DISPROVES THE LIVES OF THE RADICAL LEFT. THEIR CULTURE OF VICTIM HOOD IS EATING AWAY AT THE SOUL OF AMERICA. I UNDERSTAND BROKENESS, I UNDERSTAND HAVING LOWNESS TEAM, I UNDERSTAND NEARLY FAILING OUT OF SCHOOL BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NOT LIVE IN A NATION OF GRIEVANCE, WE LIVE IN A NATION OF GREATNESS. >> Hannity: NOW I WANT TO COMPARE THAT THOUGHTFUL, INTELLIGENT MESSAGE TO JOE BIDEN'S PITCH TO AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS, TAKE A LOOK, YOU DECIDE. >> MORE QUESTION OF THAT, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM FIGURING OUT WHETHER YOU ARE FOR ME OR TRUMP, THEN YOU AIN'T BLACK. >> Hannity: THERE IS YOUR PRESIDENT. CONGRESSWOMAN OCASIO-CORTEZ, ARE YOU BROUGHT OF THAT? ARE YOU PROUD THAT YOUR PRESIDENT, THE GUY THAT YOU LOOK UP TO THAT LEADS YOUR PARTY, TRIED TO STOP THE INTEGRATION OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS, HE DIDN'T WANT THEM TO COME IN HIS WORDS, "RACIAL JUNGLES" DO YOU ENDORSE THAT MESSAGE OR MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO FINALLY MOVE AWAY FROM ITS RACIST TENDENCIES AND CANDIDATES WHO WANT SUPERVISOR -- ONCE SUPPORTED SEGREGATION AND PRAISE AS THEIR MENTORS, FORMER CLANS MEN. LET'S GIVE A WARM AUDIENCE WELCOME IN STUDIO TONIGHT, TEXAS SENATOR TED CRUZ. THAT WAS A GREAT EXCHANGE WITH AOC. >> LOOK, IT WAS -- SHE ASKED IF I WAS WILLING TO ENGAGE, I DON'T THINK SHE WANTED THE ANSWER TO BE YES. AND I WILL SAY ONE OF THE STUNNING THINGS FOR THE LITTLE SOCIALIST FROM NEW YORK, SHE HADN'T SAID A WORD IN RESPONSE. I DON'T THINK THERE IS A RESPONSE. >> Hannity: THAT WAS TOO BIG. PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW THIS,AL AN DERSHOWITZ SAID, HE HAS SAID YOU ARE ONE OF THE STUDENTS THAT HE EVER TAUGHT, YOU WERE THE NUMBER ONE DEBATE CHAMPION IN THE COUNTRY WHEN YOU WENT TO HARVARD LAW. I THINK THIS MAY BE DEEP WATERS FOR AOC. >> I GOTTA TELL YOU IN COLLEGE IT WAS REALLY EFFECTIVE IN A PARTY WITH GIRLS TO SAY HEY, I AM A COLLEGE DEBATER,. >> Hannity: THAT WORKED FOR YOU? >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW. YOUR KIDS ARE DIVISION ONE ATHLETES, I WAS A DEBATER, IT'S SIMILAR. >> Hannity: LISTEN, IT'S SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF. LET'S LOOK AT 2024. >> YEAH. >> Hannity: OKAY. DeSANTIS TOMORROW. TIM SCOTT GOT IN THE RACE, TRUMP LEADING IN THE POLLS, WHERE DO YOU SEE THIS GOING? YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS, I WAS WITH YOU THROUGHOUT 2015 AND 16. YOU -- YOU WENT THE LONGEST, CAME DOWN TO YOU VERSUS DONALD TRUMP. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS RACE? IS. >> LOOK, IT'S GOING TO BE WILD AND WOOLY. I WILL SAY, DO YOU THINK IT'S A BAD SIGN FOR JOE BIDEN WHEN HILLARY CLINTON IS SAYING HE'S OLD AND CORRUPT? >> Hannity: I THINK THAT WAS SAID ON PURPOSE. AND I THINK -- I THINK THAT THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT, THEY DON'T WANT JOE. >> I WILL TWEAK THAT A LITTLE BIT. SIX MONTHS AGO I SAID I DIDN'T THINK JOE WOULD BE THE NOMINEE. I NOW THINK HE IS LIKELY TO BE THE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE BECAUSE I THINK THE DEMOCRATS THINK TRUMP IS GOING TO BE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. AND I THINK THE WAY DEMOCRATS THINK, THEY THINK IF TRUMP'S THE NOMINEE THEY CAN HIDE BIDEN IN THE BASEMENT FOR TWO YEARS. IN THE COMING MONTHS DEMOCRATS THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ANYBODY BUT TRUMP I THINK THEY'LL THROW JOE TO THE CURB AND TRY TO FIND SOMEONE YOUNGER BECAUSE JOE AT THIS POINT, THE GUY CAN'T TIE HIS SHOES WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. >> Hannity: WELL I WOULD ARGUE HE DOESN'T KNOW TODAY'S TUESDAY. YOU KNOW, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE A -- IN MY MIND, IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT PEACE AND PROSPERITY AND I THINK ELECTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE. CAN YOU THINK OF A SINGLE THING THAT HE HAS DONE THAT HAS BENEFITED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE I CAN'T AND THE QUESTION, IF IT'S ASKED PROPERLY, ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE FOUR YEARS AGO. >> NO. >> I WILL FRAME IT MORE SIMPLY, IS THERE ANY ASPECT OF PUBLIC LIFE THAT DOESN'T SUCK MORE THAN IT DID FOUR YEARS AGO. LIKE IT REALLY IS SPECTACULAR, IN OUR ENTIRE LIVES HAVE WE SEEN A PRESIDENT SCREW THE COUNTRY UP MORE IN TWO YEARS THAN JOE BIDEN? LIKE, EVERYTHING IS WORSE. DOMESTIC, ECONOMIC, FOREIGN POLICY, LIKE IT HAS BEEN -- LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION SERIOUSLY, SEAN. IMAGINE -- YOU BE THE HOST, I WILL BE A GUEST. I LIKE THAT. >> THAT'S GOOD. IMAGINE YOU SAT DOWN WITH THE OBJECTIVE, I WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA. WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY THAN JOE BIDEN'S DONE THE LAST TWO YEARS? >> Hannity: NOTHING. I MEAN, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, WHAT BOTHERS ME AND WHAT FRUSTRATES ME IS ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS TO ME WERE PREVENTIBLE. >> YES. >> Hannity: WE HAD A SECURE BORDER. WE KNOW HOW WHAT AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR ECONOMY IS RELATED TO ENERGY. >> YEAH. >> Hannity: WE HAVE ALL THESE NATURAL RESOURCES. WE WERE ENERGY INDEPENDENT, WE COULD BE PROVIDING WESTERN EUROPE WITH ALL THEIR ENERGY NEEDS AND WE WOULD BE PAYING DOWN THE DEBT BY THE TRILLIONS OVER THE YEARS. >> YES. >> Hannity: AND STOP ROBBING FROM OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. I AM VERY CONCERNED, CHINA SEES THAT -- >> OF COURSE, OF COURSE. >> Hannity: THEY'VE NOW FORMED WHAT I CALL NEW AXIS OF EVIL, DO YOU SEE THAT? >> ABSOLUTELY, LOOK. JOE INHERIT ADD SITUATION THAT WAS POTENTIALLY PHENOMENAL. HE IS OUR PRESIDENT. I WOULD HAVE LIKED HIM TO SUCCEED. YOU TAKE SOMETHING LIKE THE BORDER, HE INHERITED THE LOWEST RATE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IN 45 YEARS. ALL HE HAD TO DO IS DO NOTHING, CONTINUE THE SAME POLICIES AND HE COULD START WITH SOMETHING NO PRESIDENT HAS HAD PRIOR TO THAT INHERITING THE GREAT SUCCESSES OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. HE CAME IN AND HE IMMEDIATELY SCREWED IT UP. >> Hannity: YOU KNOW, YOU HAD SAID EVERY STATE IS NOW A BORDER STATE. >> YES. >> Hannity: BY THE WAY, IF YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PANDEMIC, IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GET OUR CAMERAS, THERE WERE CAGES WITH KIDS PILED ON TOP OF KIDS, OVER CROWDED. IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC. WE'RE NOT DOING ANY BACKGROUND CHECKS, WE ARE NOT SEEING IF PEOPLE HAVE RADICAL ASSOCIATIONS. WE WEREN'T EVEN DOING HEALTH CHECKS, THERE WAS NOVAK TEEN MANDATE. BY THE END OF THIS YEAR 7.5 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS JUST SINCE JOE BECAME >> WHEN I WEPT DOWN TO THE BORDER EARLY ON IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THEY HAD THE JOE BIDEN CAGES FILLED WITH KIDS. FOX NEWS WANTED TO DO TO HAVE A CAMERAMAN, WE HAD 19 SENATORS, A BIG GROUP, AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAID NO WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET THE FOX CAMERAMAN IN BECAUSE THE CAMERAMAN MIGHT HAVE COVID. THAT WAS LITERALLY THEIR JUSTIFICATION. AND MIND YOU, THEY HAD -- THERE WAS A MASSIVE RATE OF COVID POSITIVITY IN THE CAGES, SO AS YOU NOTED I PULLED OUT MY CELL PHONE AND I FILMED IT AND SENT IT TO YOU,. >> Hannity: WE WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN HAD YOU NOT SENT THAT VIDEO TO ME. >> THERE WAS A POLITICAL OPERATIVE FROM THE BIDE AN ADMINISTRATION, YELLING AT ME, SENT DOWN FROM DC TO STOP ANY PHOTOS OR VIDEOS, WHAT WAS HAPPENING. RESPECT THESE PEOPLE, RESPECT THEIR DIGNITY. I SAID LOOK, YOU RESPECT THEIR DIGNITY, YOU ARE LOCKING THEM UP IN CAGES, YOU ARE THE ONE SENDING THEM TO BE WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKERS, LETTING THE WOMEN BE ABUSED AND THE KIDS BRUTALIZED. AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THRIVES IN DARKNESS. THEY TRUST THE CORRUPT CORPORATE MEDIA, NEVER TO REPORT ON THEIR DISASTERS AND WHAT YOU DO AND A HANDFUL OF OTHERS IS JUST TELL THE TRUTH. >> Hannity: LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DEBT CEILING. >> YEAH. >> Hannity: THERE ARE NOW 44 SENATORS, IF YOU INCLUDE SENATOR KENNEDY, I DON'T THINK HE SIGNED BUT HE TOLD ME HE IS STANDING WITH THE 43 OF YOU. >> AT THE LEAST COLORFUL THING JOHN KENNEDY HAS EVER SAID. >> Hannity: THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE. I USED ONE OF THE MORE HUMAN USE GUYS IN THE SENATE. >> HE IS GENUINELY HYSTERICAL, CAN I TELL YOU MY FAVORITE CONANINE DEISM. THEY HAD BEEN MARIE IN BEIRDREAX THEY HAD THROWN OUT THE APPLE AND EATEN THE SNAKE. >> Hannity: WE HAD THE DEBT CEILING, JOE BIDEN DISAPPEARED FOR 97 DAYS, I ARGUE HE MADE A BET. WON'T GET A FEEL. THEY GOT IT DONE I THINK A GREAT DEAL. GO BACK TO 2022 SPENDING LEVELS. CAP THE RATE OF GROWTH TO 1%, BASELINE BUDGETING. ADD IN SOME ENERGY MEASURES WHICH WE NEED DESPERATELY. SCORED BY CBO TO SAVE $4.8 TRILLION. THE SENATE IS STANDING WITH THE HOUSE. I DON'T THINK KEVIN McCARTHY NEEDS TO BUDGE. IF THE BIDEN WANTS TO DEFAULT IT WILL BE BIDEN'S DEFAULT. >> LET ME PRAISE I THINK HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE HANDLED THIS BEAUTIFULLY. I CAN TELL YOU IN THE SENATE, SENATE CONSERVATIVES WE MET EVERY WEEK, SIT DOWN AND SAY LISTEN OUR ROLE IN THIS BATTLE IS TO BACK YOU UP, IS TO HAVE YOUR BACKS, IT IS TO ENCOURAGE UNITY. WITH WE WANT TO DO IS ANY WOBBLY GOP SENATORS SUDDENLY JUMPING SHIP AND JOINING WITH THE ADMINISTRATION. WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY. WE'VE SEEN REPUBLICAN UNITY. SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN AND YOU ARE RIGHT, BIDEN WAS COUNTING ON HOUSE REPUBLICANS NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. HIS POSITION, GO POUND SAND, I WON'T NEGOTIATE, I WON'T TALK ABOUT IT WAS SO OBVIOUSLY UNREASONABLE HE GAVE IN. 58% OF DEMOCRATS BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT SPENDING CUTS AS PART OF THE DEBT CEILING. JOE BIDEN IS THE LEFT OF HIS OWN PARTY AND I THINK WE ARE GOING TO END UP, I HOPE AND BELIEVE, WITH SOME REAL POSITIVE STEPS TO REIGN IN THE LINE I TACK SPENDING IN WASHINGTON. >> Hannity: LET ME GO BACK TO 2024 FOR A SECOND. >> YEAH. >> Hannity: LOOK,. >> IS THERE AN ELECTION? >> Hannity: HIS REELECTION IS CRITICAL, WE NEED YOU IN THE U.S. SENATE. >> AND LET ME -- LET ME SAY ON THAT FRONT, CHUCK SCHUMER HAS MADE MY RACE THE NUMBER ONE TARGET FOR A DEMOCRAT PICKUP IN THE COUNTRY. THE LAST RACE I WAS IN THEY OUT SPENT US 3 TO 1. THEY ARE GOING TO FLOOD $100 MILLION INTO TEXAS. I WANT TO TAKE A PAGE OUT OF OUR FRIEND LINDSEY GRAHAM'S BOOK, GO TO TEDCRUZ.ORG. BECAUSE WE GOTTA STAND UP TO THE LUNATICS. >> Hannity: IN ANY PRIMARY THERE IS GOING TO BE, CONTENTIOUS, CAME DOWN TO YOU AND PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU GUYS KIND OF REMAIN FRIENDLY TO A POINT THEN IT JUST HAPPENED. >> DID IT GET A LITTLE HOT. >> Hannity: IT GOT A LOT HOT. BUT THIS RACE IS STARTING OUT HOT. >> YEAH. >> Hannity: BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR DeSANTIS, I WISH THAT WOULD HAPPEN LATER. >> YEAH. >> Hannity: IF NEED-BE. IT MAY NOT EVEN NEED TO HAPPEN. BECAUSE THE REAL PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY ARE THE LEFT WING. >> YES. LOOK, YOU AND I ARE BOTH FRIENDS WITH, WE RESPECT PRESIDENT TRUMP, RESPECT RON DeSANTIS I THINK HIGHLY OF BOTH OF THEM WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT, THERE WAS NO SENATOR WHO WORKED MORE CLOSELY WITH DONALD TRUMP THAN I DID IN THE U.S. SENATE. RON DeSANTIS DID A PHENOMENAL JOB IN FLORIDA, BY THE WAY, THE FIGHT WITH AOC THAT YOU STARTED YOUR MONOLOG WITH, IT'S -- IT STARTED WITH THE NAACP PUTTING A TRAVEL WARNING FOR GOING TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA BECAUSE THEY SAID FLORIDA IS UNWELCOME TO AFRICAN AMERICANS AND AOC CHIMED IN AND AGREE WEEKEND IT, AND I SAID, LOOK, FLORIDA AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE MOVING TO FLORIDA IN MASSIVE NUMBERS BECAUSE IT'S AN OASIS OF FREEDOM AND YOUR PARTY HAS A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE RECORD ON RACE. >> Hannity: WE ARE GOING TO FOLLOW YOUR RACE, SUPPORT YOU IN YOUR RACE. WE LOVE HAVING YOU, ONLY BAD DECISION YOU MADE IS LEAVING TEXAS TO COME HERE
