you to listen to me give me a call later on first time ever in my entire life as a republican i'm voting for you now maintain what you're doing in these democratic cities and i'll go on those other

and i've always respected you even on the other side i'm here now i'm here right now i'm here i appreciate it i do thank you thank you thanks leah all right really great geraldo thank you damn all right i think that might have been the funniest moment we've had mr president sir thank you so much for joining us i know it's been a busy number of days here for you um a lot of news to get to i want to spend a lot of time on the violence the safety security of our cities i want to talk about covert a lot let's start with some breaking news and that is that you earlier today decided to pull back on the convention in jacksonville you gave a reason can you give us the reasons again in more detail well it's really the china virus call it covid call it anyone of a lot of different names but you know we're setting an example we don't want to have people so close together we've had such enthusiasm everybody wanted to go there you know we went to north carolina we wanted to do it there it was all set and we're going to build a beautiful facility and it got hit hard and the governor then really he uh could have treated us better democrat governor but we are actually opening up there and then we'll make uh we'll make our ways it won't be your typical convention i can say that but it's going to be very safe and i thought i had an obligation not to have large numbers massive numbers of people crowded into a room i've been told mr president uh from sources of mine you can confirm if you like uh i guess maybe i'm not surprised that that you are entertaining ideas that i have heard tonight that would be pretty spectacular would you give us any insight into what they are well we have some ideas but it'll have to be different than your typical convention we have just great enthusiasm in the party i don't think we've ever had it even more so than 2016 and you see what's going on with the polls since it's funny since i did i made a speech at mount rushmore and since that time it's been really something that's been i mean before that really you have all of these fake these suppression polls that just like uh 2016 when they put out these phony polls uh the media but i'll tell you what it's uh that the enthusiasm this party has and that they have for their president because we're keeping our city safe we want to go and we can't understand i heard you talking with the group but really that's a group of a great group of three people but i heard you talking about the cities and the safeties of the city i've offered them all every one of them and there's ten of them we're offering all of them let us go in we'll clean it up we'll clean it up now in portland we had to do it because that was that's their anarchist that's even that's a level that people haven't seen but they're anarchists and they were going wild for 51 days and we went in and they've done a great job they're going to rip down the courthouse a big federal courthouse gorgeous federal courthouse so we went in and we've been very very strong and we have this mayor whalen who i think is also he's also the police commissioner as i understand it yeah mayor wheeler and he's uh he made a fool out of himself liz he wanted to be among the people so he went into the crowd and they knocked the hell out of him that was the end of him so it was pretty uh pretty pathetic but we want to go in and help the cities we want to help chicago we want to help all of them detroit's having problems they're a very good police chief in detroit but they have problems we'll go into all of the cities any of the cities we're ready we'll put in 50 000 60 thousand people that really know what they're doing and they're strong they're tough and we could solve these problems so fast but as you know we have to be invited in that's the president i wanna ask you about we're gonna have to do something that's much stronger than being invited in but we have to be invited in go ahead sean the acting dhs chief chad wolf there there are statutory reasons and justification to protect federal buildings that is what has been happening when you talk about 100 agents we now have 15 mayors we see this rise in homicides and shootings one day right here on this program a couple of nights ago 15 people shot in chicago last weekend 70 people shot 12 dead a 10 year old 11 year old shot you spoke to horace lorenzo anderson senior i know you invited him to the white house he lost his 19 year old son we lost an eight-year-old little girl in in the chas autonomous zone in atlanta a one-year-old in brooklyn a seven-year-old little beautiful young girl in in chicago and they you know one thing that all of these cities have in common they've been run by liberal democratic mayors liberal democratic governors for decades what do you say to the people most people would argue you don't have a chance of winning new york or illinois or california or washington state well you're right they're run by very liberal people you could say radical left in some cases in some cases just liberal democrats and they're not taking care of their police they're not respecting the police the police do an incredible job it's a very tough job it's a very dangerous job and these mayors and by the way governors and senators and congressmen democrat congressmen they want to pass stuff to make the police less they want to take all of their power away and you know you'll have a a bad situation where you'll have a bad cop a very bad cop and they they have no idea the problem they cause but you have 99 great people that work hard and get paid not nearly enough and the job they do is incredible and uh these these people are just taking all of their respect they're taking their guts out and it's a shame it's a shame and you know the police they could do the job in seattle they could they knew that we were coming in and they went in just before we got there so we were all set to move but if we weren't going to go in if they thought that we weren't coming in it would still be bad but those police can do the job but the mayor and everybody tells them not to do it the governor they say not to do it and it's a philosophy and let me tell you if joe biden never got in the whole country would be like that you know we have a lot of great cities we have a lot of very safe cities great places great states that don't have any problems and they look at the things that they see in chicago and they look at what they're witnessing in portland and all of these different places and they can't believe what's going on but we have you know we have great places but we have some some instances that nobody's ever seen i spoke with the mayor of chicago mayor lightfoot and i had a great talk but within minutes after that talk you just reported it tonight a couple of more people were shot young very young children were shot so sad and it's a shame it's a shame and we could solve it if they invited us in we'd go in with 50 000 75 000 people we would be able to solve it like you wouldn't believe and quick but they just don't want to ask maybe for political reasons but they don't want to ask it's a disgrace let me ask you mr president uh i know a lot has been made over joe biden and his comments that he made i know he's now backed off it and he says well i said it before the other way i don't know if he's just not remembering what maybe somebody else wrote in usa today for example but he did say police have now become the enemy when they're supposed to help people and any follow-up was would you support reappropriating the money and he said yes now not using the term democrats seem to be walking back the term defund but reallocation is the word he used well that would be the same thing let me play it so to remind our audience what he said surplus military equipment for law enforcement they don't need that the last thing you need is an up armored humvee coming into a neighborhood it's like the military invading they don't know anybody they become the enemy they're supposed to protecting these people so my generic point is that do we agree that we can redirect some of the funding yes absolutely one of the things that we also need to be doing is fundamentally changing the way and i've been pushing it for years changing the way we deal with our prison system mr president i could remind people you're the one that did criminal justice reform biden is vice president barack they did not you did police reform they did not uh you also set record after record low unemployment they added 13 million more americans to food stamps 8 million more in poverty and the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s you set record low after record low for every demographic group then we got opportunity zones your biggest commitment in terms of money and length of time to historically black colleges they didn't do any of those things uh your answer to what joe biden now is now he's adopting the position of the yeah police of the enemy he's never said a good word bolshevik bernie's economic agenda aoc's new green deal agenda he's pledging trillions of taxpayer dollars and add to that uh let's see beto o'rourke and pelosi schumer and biden 125 years in the swamp your reaction to his team well it's all true but one of the things you mentioned and he mentioned was the surplus military equipment and when i came in as soon as i came in i distributed to all of the police departments all over the nation we had hundreds of millions of dollars of sometimes new but it was never going to be used it was sitting in warehouses all over the u.s and i delivered it all to police free of charge all to police it was just growing dust it was just uh just sitting there just i guess paying rent or whatever they were doing and all these massive warehouses and i got it all out to the police and they were so thankful and you know a lot of it was protective equipment and they didn't want to do it because they thought the police looked too strong that it was sending a wrong signal to the police but it was really protecting the police and there was offensive capability but there was a lot of protective capability and it was uh really amazing to me what that they wouldn't deliver it they wouldn't they wouldn't do it and i and i've gotten notes i've gotten so many notes from the heads of the police departments and even from the the cops just the guys on the beat thanking me for all of the equipment that we sent out and we were never going to use it it was growing old and growing dusty so that's a whole different way of thinking but and and you know when he when you talk about the bernie sanders thing i think what joe biden and i don't think it was him i think it was radical left people that are totally controlling him like a puppet i don't think it's him i don't think he knows even what we're talking about but when we talk about biden he's got a manifesto that he agreed to i caught a manifesto with bernie sanders for open borders and things that you wouldn't even believe i mean these are left wing at a level that i don't think bernie ever talked about to the same extent you'd think this is negotiation that bernie would be brought to the right a little bit i think bernie went further left and o'biden agreed to all of this stuff let me ask you sir i've been in talk radio for 33 years believe it or not since i began that journey i've been blessed to work here at fox i'm now in my 25th year here uh politics is a passion of mine uh usually you have candidates you're probably an exception what you say what you said in 2016 is what you did you many ways people haven't figured out you're very predictable in the sense that if you say you mean it in my view but usually people run to the base for the primary and then they run to the center joe biden has adopted bolshevik bernie's radical socialism aoc's new green deal we're talking about trillions of dollars he's now committing to both those things redistribution higher taxes then i mentioned beto o'rourke and then schumer pelosi and biden have had 20 125 years why in this case do you believe he's going harder left than any candidate i've ever seen in my lifetime for sure because i think he's afraid of the people on his left i think that when these are very radicalized people i mean he's gone so far he's given bernie everything bernie can't even believe it i heard bernie's going around saying i can't believe what we got and this was a negotiation that was done very quickly and today i saw president obama with him and remember this i wouldn't be there if it weren't for those two if they did a good job i wouldn't you know like ran i ran against what they did and i won and nobody campaigned harder than president obama somebody said oh obama's coming and i said that's okay we beat him the last time i think he campaigned harder than hillary clinton did you want to know the truth remember i'd always talk about there comes air force one obama was all over the place but the fact is biden and obama i'm here i'm in the white house because of them if they did a good job people forget but if they did a good job and except for the china virus that came in we were setting every record you could set for unemployment for uh the stock market every single record you could imagine and then what we did we rebuilt the military we got rid of regulations at a level that no administration even in eight years or in one case more than that no administration's come close and we've appointed you know we will have almost it could even be more but almost 300 federal judges appointed by the end of my first term that's a record nobody's ever done anything like that and two supreme court judges great ones all right let me go to joe biden uh i argue and i've i've watched this and witnessed this my whole professional life i think that the job you have i believe regardless of who's president is the hardest job in the world uh you have a lot of a lot of burdens on your shoulder anybody that's president and i think when they asked reagan in 1984 and they questioned whether or not he had the mental alertness the strength the stamina to do the job it was a fair question he answered it in one line in the second debate against mondale let me play some of the greatest hits of biden and then biden from yesterday and i want to i want your take on what is going on with joe biden let's play it first scale scale of the loss is staggering i don't know who spelling that is but the scale of the loss is staggering it's been two months since congress gave them that money either just me okay good evening thanks so much for tuning in look tomorrow's superstar tuesday and i want to thank you all i tell you what i'm rushing ahead aren't i we hold these truths to be self-evident all men and women created by the go you know the you know the thing my name is joe biden i'm a democratic candidate for the united states senate look me over if you'd like to see help out if you agree with me go to joe 303 30. we choose truth over facts play the radio make sure the television excuse me make sure you have the record player on at night the the phone make sure the kids hear words poor kids are just as bright and just as talented white kids donald trump does pose an excellent strength to this the it's not hypothetical why in god's name should someone who's clipping coupons in the stock market make in fact pay a lower tax rate than someone who in fact is uh like i said a school teacher and a firefighter i'm sorry i'm confused who i'm talking to here but anyway whoever it is and i had a nurse at uh nurses at uh walter reed hospital who would bend down and whisper in my ear wow and go home and get me pillows they would make sure they'd actually probably nothing ever taught in you can't do it in the covert time but they'd actually breathe in my nostrils to make me move wearing a mask is now a political statement this is more patriotic why do you wear the mask so you don't make somebody else sick sick what's with this guy steve that's our time okay mr president um i'm not a doctor i won't play one uh i don't i think joe biden has aged dramatically since he's left office um he doesn't seem very alert he's they seem to be protecting him and hiding we now have interviews that are being shut off by handlers what's your reaction sir well in all fairness i know people that are 90 91 92 that are sharp as attack uh bernie marcus as an example home depot and and others i know numerous but uh you know i i just it's hard to comment on somebody he's an opponent uh you have to be very sharp i'm dealing with the heads of these countries and every one of them is a world-class chess player and if you're not 100 on your game if you're not 100 uh sharp plus you got a problem i look i looked at what we have in this country i came in and i i guessed it from before but after i saw what was going on with horrible trade deals horrible military deals money being spent it was being sent out like water you see what i've done with nato 140 billion dollars but really much more than that it increases every year where countries are now paying for what we're doing it was so unfair so many different things i could go on you don't have enough time i could go all night with it but you have to be on your game you have to be sharp and you have to be tough and if you're not these guys are going to take you to the cleaner and they will take you to the cleaners like you've never seen before it's so easy and uh he wasn't he wasn't the best in his heyday let's not kid ourselves everybody knows that everybody knows senators will tell you that in his best he wasn't but but i see the statements he's making now and i don't think he has much of a clue mr president when you spoke about canceling the convention in jacksonville you you were very passionate about it today and you said the timing is not right uh and we knew there would be flare-ups uh this virus is the worst since 1918 and you said today i have to protect the american people that's what i've always done that's what i always will d will be will do that's what i'm about uh we can make this work easily and you also reminded people the importance of masks people say you haven't been as outspoken as maybe you should have on mass but there were people telling us well-known experts not to wear masks in march for crying out loud and socially distancing and the cdc just released last week that if people wear the masks this thing could be gone in four to six weeks and what can you add about therapeutics and what can you add about a potential vaccine you mentioned pfizer today well you know at the beginning many people many very respected people i won't mention names but many respected people were saying don't wear a mask that they're bad you touch your face too much and you get your hands near your eyes and your nose and their bed and then all of a sudden uh it was a big thing to get messed because i'm all for it look whatever's going to help if it was a 5 chance or 2 chance wear it and i'll wear it i wore at walter reed hospital the other day i went to the hospital i visited soldiers that have been so badly injured in iraq and uh it's terrible in afghanistan i saw one that was so badly injured in afghanistan and you know we're largely we're down to a very small force in both places we were serving as policemen over there and we can police our own country especially when you look at chicago and you look at what's happening around our country and uh you know we've we've done a lot we've done a lot but uh you have to we have to do we have to get our country back we have to get rid of this horrible plague that hit us and it hit us hard but it didn't hit just us it hit the whole world sean the whole world was hit china allowed it to escape to europe and to the whole world including us and they're suffering this tremendous you know you don't see that too much in the news but you have countries that are going through relatively uh what we're doing plus plus plus it's horrible and we make ventilators because we've become we've become the best in the world for the ventilators we're making thousands a month we're we're sending supplies all over and we're we're in great shape from the standpoint but we have this thing that's very very contagious nobody's ever seen anything like it very very highly contagious but if you take a look at a map we have large sections of the country that are in great shape and we're going to win and we're going to win sooner rather than later i will say this on the vaccines we're doing very well we have the greatest companies in the world including we're dealing with other nations we're working very closely and therapeutically therapeutics are i think going to be fantastic frankly i'd like to have that first because you could go into the hospitals give somebody a shot or do whatever you have to do and they'd get better right away but we're doing very well therapeutically and we're doing very very well with vaccines well we know new studies have come out and i had dr oz on my radio show this week uh that hydroxychloroquine used early with the zithromycin and zinc and you took a lot of heat over it uh mortality rate cut in half according to the ford study he mentioned a local hospital retrospective study in new york let me ask you you tweeted out tonight baseball is back uh by the way poor dr fauci and i really do believe and people i think try to divide both of you uh that he he's tried his best dr burks has tried her best um all the models and experts in many many ways were so wrong the one thing that remained consistent is the most vulnerable the elderly those were compromised conditions or immune systems and pre-pre-existing conditions so i ask you you know where are we with the vaccine the therapeutics how soon and do you want every american if they can't socially distant to wear the mask i i selfishly want baseball football to open so we can go and i also want to protect grandmas and grandpas i'd like to see everybody if they can't spread if they can't have be socially distant then i think they should probably put it on and even if it's let's say it's a 50 chance or 25 because again people these same experts were saying don't wear it at one point now they're saying where so let's go with them what difference does it make we got to get rid of this thing so let's say they're right and let's say there's a 50 chance or 25 chance i'm not going to lose with it you're not going to lose with it so do it but again as i said i really think you're going to have some answers very very soon on therapeutics and also in vaccines these companies i'm dealing with them directly i'm getting reports directly they're very far advanced they've already started testing and what i've done is through the fda dr han and some great people we have ramped it up to a level that nobody's ever seen speed like this we could be two or three years out before we're doing what we do we're already testing we are actually doing the testing for vaccines and for therapeutics that would have happened in a normal administration i will say that that would have happened in two and three years from now so we're way way advanced and i think you're going to have some very good answers very soon and they're going to come up with the answer mr president you're asking the american people in 103 days well some will be voting early by the way i have information on my website hannity.com early voting how do you do absentee voting uh who your congress person is it's up for election in 103 days i say the american people the ultimate jury you're asking the american people for four more years if you're given the four more years what will this country look like in your view four years from now so it's all going to be about america first we always put other countries before us which is so foolish and so horrible and it's been so destructive for us it's about america first we'll help other countries but we want to take care of ourselves we're going to be building factories we're going to be bringing in jobs like you've never seen we were all set to do it until we got hit with the virus our troops will be home the endless wars are already ending down to very few soldiers and as you know in afghanistan very few in iraq syria is largely out except we kept the oil we have oil there that we kept i didn't want to leave the oil we kept it yeah we took it over uh we're going to be about jobs like you haven't seen we're going to be respected and we are now by other countries they're respecting us more than they have in many many decades i will tell you that we're going to have a wall that's complete we're up to 257 miles on the new wall and by the way if we didn't have that wall in right now you would have numbers in texas and in california and new mexico like you wouldn't believe but we built uh 257 miles of it's 450 but we're going to do about 537 miles all together that'll give a complete beautiful wall on our southern border that's really helped and the other thing is we're going to start making our product and i've been pushing this from before this happened we're going to make things here we're going to make them here right now china and many other countries are doing what we're supposed to be doing they went they became globalists these great geniuses became globalists and they really hurt our country we're going to start making it here i was with elon musk i said elon build a factory in texas he just announced today they're building one of the biggest plants in the world auto plant for tesla and it's going to be in texas and you know it's great he called me up just a little while ago to say i got it done so that meaning he got it done but i was i was pushing that job very hard from elon because we work with him and we do a lot for him and i said it's time and he was he was great he's doing a good job but the other thing we've done is space force you know we put in this the first time in 76 years we have a new force we have so important the army navy air force marines coast guard and now we have the air force it's so great and it's so important it's going to end up being one of my at first i didn't even talk about that in the campaign this was after i got in office i realized we need it because china and russia were going to dominate space and we can't let that and now we're going to be dominating space they're not too happy about what we did with air force but we have it and uh with with space force so we have now space force so important and so many other things showing regulation cuts tax cuts biggest tax cuts in history biggest regulation cuts in history and we're going to continue that forward there are still many things we can do but the bottom line is we're we're putting america first and we're making america better than it's ever been you will see that we're going to have a great year next year we're gonna have a great third quarter and the nice thing about the third quarter is the results are going to come out before the election you know i've been saying to my audience from radio and tv that this is the biggest choice election in our lifetime it's literally you know taxes higher or lower deregulation more regulation law and order lawlessness amnesty or or border security judges uh energy trade foreign policy it seems like you're running against the team and the team is joe bernie bolshevik bernie i call him bernie sanders the socialist aoc green new deal beto schumer pelosi so i think it is i i want to go back to baseball you announced today you're going to throw out the first pitch at yankee stadium on august 15th dr fauci did not do too well tonight with the nationals have you ever thrown out a first pitch before are you nervous about throwing out the first pitch derek jeter once famously said i guess to george bush after 9 11. uh if you bounce it you're going to get booed yeah no i have thrown out first pictures i've agreed to do it for the yankees uh on uh i think they're playing the boston red sox that's a great rivalry and i will do it it's great that baseball's back and other sports are back i hope everyone's standing i hope they're not going to be kneeling when the flag is raised i don't like to see that that would hurt that would hurt a lot of people in our country they don't want to see that with the nfl or baseball or basketball or anything else we want to there are plenty of places you can protest you don't have to protest on the raising of our flag so uh a lot of great things happening for our country one other thing i want to say is we've made incredible trade deals and we're going to continue that along because we got taken to the cleaners by every country ally or non-ally we were taken to the cleaners and we'll keep that going mr president mark meadows your chief of staff recently indicated that indictments could be imminent in the durham probe we had big breaking news tonight i don't know if you saw the opening of the show a document declassified by your director of national intelligence john ratcliffe revealing the fbi agent who gave you that defensive briefing in august of 2016 used it as a cover to monitor you and michael flynn as it relates to to russia do you remember it it also i believe puts jim comey in a position of being proven to have lied just like when he said to you at trump tower the dossier is salacious but unverified but he swore that it was accurate and true when he signed the fisa application to spy on you and your campaign and take away carter page's rights uh what is your reaction to this news and your thoughts on where this probe with john durham's going well it's just more and more things that you see and that's only what you see it is really bad it's a terrible thing that happened should never happen to another president the fact is that president obama and vice president biden and the whole group of with brennan and comey and mccabe and lisa page and strzok her lover and beyond them long beyond them they spied on the campaign using the intelligence agencies of our country they illegally this is illegal as can be this is uh treason this is many things you can call it they spied on the campaign of another party both before and after victory both before and after never been done before it is so bad it with the other side they would have been in jail for two years and it would have been a 50-year term but obama and biden knew everything and they spied on the campaign of the opposing party using intelligence do you uh well this raises a question now we know what happened in the oval office on january 5th do you think that barack obama the former president joe biden should have to answer for what we now know happened 15 days before your inauguration in the oval office we have one minute sir that was just one meeting there were many meetings there was no way i understand the system very well i don't understand being president very well there was no way this could have gone out without and gunned down without president obama knowing every single thing and even biden brought up the logan act with respect to general flynn a great gentleman who's been treated so horribly and still is a lot of a lot of things have been learned and what happened is a disgrace again should never ever happen when you consider pardons for the people involved in the last 15 seconds i've looked at a lot of different people they've been treated extremely unfairly and i think i probably would yes mr president thank you for your time in 103 days the american people will make the ultimate decision sir we appreciate you always taking time for this audience thank you thank you very much john thank you
