Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Hannity 20200903

Yourself. Now i am happy to take questions you may have. Fire away. Joe bidens Public Events are so rare that President Trump has a new nickname for his challenger. Joe hidin. The Trump Campaign is hitting biden and the more radical element of his base hard. Ahead of the democrats first trip to wisconsin in several years watch. Lawless criminals terrorize kenosha and joe biden takes a knee. The lefts weak response led to chaos and violence and the call for Defunding Police would make it worse. Tomorrow joe biden will visit kenosha. Even though the officer involved shooting of jacob blake is still under investigation that didnt stop biden and Kamala Harris from making their own decisions. Last week senator harris said the officer who said jacob blake should be charged. Do you agree with her and do you believe the same for the officers who were involved in the deaths of Breonna Taylor . I think we should let the judicial system work its way. I think there is a minimum need to be charged, the officers, and as well as for Breonna Taylor. Joining us now is karl rove. How are you . Honored to be on with you. Give us your assessment of the state of the race on september 2nd . During the Democratic National Convention Joe Biden and the democrats never mentioned the violence in americas cities. We have been subjected to night after night of riots in portland and i remember one night the next morning senator harris was attacking a witness in front of her saying why are you attack the moms and veterans that are peacefully protesting . We see tonight people attempted to deorbit burn burn down the courthouse. Biden has been unwilling to take on the violence in the streets until he is hit by tv aside and hit by the Trump Campaign. Feels like he is fading in the polls. Only then does he give one speech and immediately attempts to blame the violence on donald trump. We are a country of personal responsibility. Donald trump is not responsible for people trying to fire bomb the courthouse in portland, oregon. Those people are responsible and ought to be held responsible under our rule of law. If the race is tightening what areas does the president need to appeal to and can we do so without alienating his base . It is tightening. We dont know how much yet. We needs polls on sunday, monday, tuesday and wednesdayo the convention is in the rearview mirror. Usa today in june a 12 point gap for biden and now 7. Harris had 9 points, today plus 6. Emeron 4 points for biden and 2 points today. There is one that had 10 before the Democratic National convention and nine after and now its 11 today. My sense is that the polls have tightened some. This is like world war i. Any movement will be difficult and small. But its been Good Movement for the president. What does he need to do . The president s base is with him. No president ever gets elected on the basis of their base only. The president has to continue to do what he did during the Republican National convention. Make an appeal for a Broader Group of people. College educated women. By africanamerican voters, particularly young black males who say i had better prosperity than when barack obama was president and it was because of the policy of donald trump. We saw that in the spring before the coronavirus came on. The feeling was there among africanamerican voters. This will grab you. Latinos. The president has the ability to go from the 28 or 29 in 2016 up to 24, 25, and 26. Again largely because they felt they got a better economic deal when he was in office. He has a variety of people in the Latino Community who say he is standing up for us. For lawabiding people who go to church and provide for their families. He is standing up to keep us safe. He has to do what he started doing in the convention. Thats why it was so effective. The first night Herschel Walker anchored by your former colleague and governor nikki haley. Thats the Republican Party the American People need to see. When i hear you say that, i think our policies may be attractive to constituencies that did not do that in the past but repelled in our rhetoric. Do we need to be better at messaging . Thats part it but we have to show up in between elections. I live in texas. Our republican governor was reelected last time with 50 of the hispanic vote. Our candidates make it part of their existence to campaign in the valley and go to san antonio and meet the leadership of the hispanic community. Thats what we have to do as a party. Its not just a convention. Its a lifelong commitment to show up and get involved in the community. Karl, let me ask you about something that happened last night. Joe kennedy. When i served with him he was the hardest working colleague we and that was true on both sides of the aisle. He may have been the most humble and was progressive but yet he lost. Was this a clearing of the field by aoc for a future president ial run or is there no place for joe kennedy . Kennedy was probably not liberal enough. Ed markeys embrace of the green deal and the embrace of him by aoc cemented him in the democratic party. That was the hard left and ed markey played to them. He had the advantage of inc incumbency. Thinks of how many people he helped over the years. Kennedy having represented just a Congressional District doesnt have that statewide base. Its hard to knock off an incumbent unless they have done something really, really wrong even if you are a kennedy. This looked like a reach. It looked like he was a little bit too ambitious and people said we are not finished letting ed markey serve. Its not your time this time, kennedy. Karl, thats why you have on. The best political line in america. If you like hypocrisy you will love this next story. Speaker nancy pelosi called for a National Mask mandate. Applauded lockdown measures in california including the forced closure of countless Small Businesses. Last night pelosi was caught on tape inside a San Francisco hair salon getting her hair done and about that mask mandate . Her mask was not on either. Hair salons in San Francisco have been closed since march. For you, for me, and for everyone else not named nancy pelosi. But today instead of apologizing nancy pelosi blasted the salon for setting her up. Apparently someone forced her to make an appointment and get her hair washed and dried. Its all a big set up. I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon i have been to over the years many times. And that when they said we were able to accommodate people one person at a time and we can set up that time, i trusted that. As it turns out, it was a set up. So i take responsibility for falling for a set up. I think this salon owes me an apology. In a tweet President Trump had a few choice words for the House Speaker writing we will almost certainly take back the house and send nancy packing. Joining us now is louisiana senator john kennedy. I want to ask you about how the residents of the louisiana are doing in the aftermath of hurricane laura. Thanks for that. This is probably the worst hurricane damage i have ever seen and i have seen a lot of hurricane damage. This storm practically knocked louisiana into texas. I was out all day yesterday trying to help my people. I got in late last night and i saw the story about Speaker Pelosi violating the coronavirus rules. That she has advocated for and the rest of us mere mortals have to abide by in order to get her hair done. I thought to myself, isnt this special . Despite the fact its against the law, Speaker Pelosi is getting her hair washed and probably getting a neck massage and my people dont even have water. Week the irony is extraordinary. But, i am not sure will be glad to make sure why i make this statement i am not sure she can help herself. Well, i want you to explain that one. Thats too good. Yes, why could she not help herself . Well, Speaker Pelosi is part of what i call the managerial elite. They can strut sitting down. You know who i am talking about. The entrenched politicians in washington. The bureaucrats, the media and the academics, the corporate phonies. They live in the condos with the high ceilings and the important art on the wall. I call them the shade truffles crowd. They think they are smarter and more virtuous than the middle class ordinary americans. They are not, of course. But here is the managerial elites message of which Speaker Pelosi is part to the ordinary americans. You are a bunch of morons. Boy the way, you are always a bunch of racists. So, just shut up. Do what you are told and periodically we the elite will tell you what values and opinions you have to adopt without debate because he are experts and intellectuals. Most people think now that washington, d. C. Is the place where good ideas go to die. I will add one more observation, just my opinion. The managerial elite of which the speaker is apart. They think they are the smartest people in the room. If they are the smartest people in the room, its the wrong room. Because if they ever get in charge, you know this, they will put america in the ditch. They will beat the crap out of america and the American People dont deserve that. Senator, one reason i think you are popular not only in louisiana but also in South Carolina is authent tisity. In that video i see hypocrisy the same with the mayor of chicago telling people they can protest but not in my neighborhood and elected officials who say you cant eat indoor but i am going to. Is there a political price to be paid for hypocrisy . Well, you make a good point. I dont want to paint with too broad of a brush. All democrats are not like this, but too Many Democrats today, they dont like ordinary americans unless they are part of a specific Minority Group that they deem worthy. And for most ordinary americans, the members of the managerial elite of which Speaker Pelosi is a part and i think vicepresident biden is too. They just think that we are all a bunch of deplorables if we are not part of a specific group that they deem worthy. They dont respect the opinions of ordinary americans and they dont like us very much. I dont think americans want to be governed by people who look down on them. I know i dont. Senator, you had a distinguished career in the law before you joined the United States senate. What did you think of her i was set up defense . What is it so hard for people in politics to say i am wrong . Why do you have to say i was set up . Well, the speaker makes my point. She thinks most americans are morons and will believe that. With ordinary americans lie to congress, you can go to jail. When members of congress lie to the American People, its called just politics. Thats what the speaker has done. She knows thats not accurate. She just got caught but expects the American People to believe that excuse. Well, my experience has been the American People will forgive you for almost anything except lying. What can people that love your state but dont live there do to help you in the coming days and weeks . You can go to my website. Kennedy. Senate. Gov. There are a number of ways to help sending food, sending prayers and contributions. We will get through this. Louisiana and america are tough as a boot. We will show the American People what its like to be an american. We understand louisiana but getting knocked down is not failure. Failure is not getting up. We will get back up. Thank you, senator. God bless you and everyone else in louisiana. Breaking news we are monitoring tonight. An officer involved shooting in washington, d. C. And now a black lives matter protest at the Senate District precinct. Updates on this story throughout the hour. Tensions continue to rise between the United States and the Chinese Communist party. Secretary of state mike pompeo will tell us what President Trumps next move is. Stay with us. Welcome back to this special edition of hannity. On the heels the peace deal behind the United Arab Emirates and israel the president is working overtime. Mike pompeo is cracking down on the communist party of china. Pompeos goal is to level the Playing Field and respond to the restraints china already has in place on america. This comes as tensions with china seem to be reaching a fever pitch. Yesterday the pentagon reported chinas plans to double their Nuclear Stockpile in the next 10 years. And today during an interview attorney general bill barr issued this warning. Listen. Those three countries, russia, china and iran, which is the most aggressive in this area . I believe its china. Which one . China. More than russia . Yes. Why . Because i have seen the intelligence. Thats what i have concluded. Joining us now with more is United States secretary of state mike pompeo. Thanks for joining us. Great to be with you. Like wise. Tell us about the actions you have taken against china with respect to the diplomats and why you took it . We took the simple action of telling chinese diplomats working here in the United States that the free ride is over. Their ability to conduct espionage in the United States the time has passed. They need permission to gather now. The kind of restrictions we had on our diplomats in china. Now we have a recriprocal arrangement. President trump said enough whether its on trade or stealing intellectual property and destroying jobs in the United States. We wont take it anymore. We demand that china not Treat America in the way it has for all of these decades. Mr. Secretary, before you were the secretary of state you were on the house intelligence committee. Do you view china as our countrys greatest threat, on par with russia or ahead of russia . The greatest threat comes from the chinese communityist party. Its not a close call. I order the attorney general comments about the threat related to elections. But the chinese communityist party is building its military and infiltrated the United States in ways russia has not and its economic might has destroyed tens of thousands of jobs in the heartland of america. President trump wont permit this to continue. We are all suffering from the wuhan virus the Chinese Communist party had a chance to let the world know what was going on. They covered up. Billions of lives and wealth destroyed around the world. This is what President Trump is making sure they can never do again to america. China as a military threat. What are they doing to increase their military capacity . They increased their digiti significantly. Budget. They are building up their navy and building up a capacity not just to be effective in their coastal waters but to create power that can reach across the globe. Then they are coopting other country houseriy countries build bases around the world. This is about the central ideas of freedom versus authori authorityianism. We have spent more money on our military than any year in the previous decades. You and i served in congress together. We saw the struggle. President trump will take care of our soldiers and sailors and marines. We will be ready you took action in the criminal court. Why . Most americans are not familiar with the International Criminal court. Its threatening our kids who served in afghanistan. Young men and women who fought there. This is a rogue court with lawyers that are corrupt and political. They are threatening to prosecute americans two engage in americas fight for freedom in afghanistan. We have put pressure on the court to tell the court the United States did not participate in the agreements that set up this court. We want nothing to do with and you are darn sure not going to prosecute americans. We sanctioned people at the center of the effort to prosecute americans. We wont rest until no mother or father has to worry about their child traveling there might be held by this court. There was a historic agreement within the uae and israel. What should americans know . What iran been doing lately . It was historic to watch and linto the conversation between Prime Minister netanyahu and the leader of the United Arab Emirates and President Trump. Historic peace agreement. We had this long history of the arab states not recognizing israel as the jewish homeland as it ought to be. President trumps deal is becoming to come to fruition. You can already see the benefits to the people of israel and to the United Arab Emirates. The president recognized that the Islamic Republic of iran was the greatest threat to stability in the us and our safety in the United States. The United Arab Emirates recognized iran has this great threat. They built a relationship to build a coalition to make sure this threat never reaches american shores or harms anyone in the middle east. Secretary pompeo, thanks for your service and your service in uniform when you finished at west point. A tense situation developing in washington, d. C. Where protestors are gathering because of a Police Involved shooting earlier today. Joining us now with a full report is fox newss rich. This is a situation that is just developing here in washington, d. C. In front of one of the Police Stations in town. This is just a few hours after a shooting in southeast d. C. When we are hearing is that there was a Loud Exchange between black lives matter and this Police Station. They are chanting black lives matter. Police formed a barricade in front of the station to prevent people from getting in. The origination of this protest started with a shooting around 3 50. The police gave a news conference, the police chief did, and said this started with officers responding to a vehicle. People fled foot and an officer shot his weapon. A male was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead and police say that two guns were recovered. The police are stressing this is a preliminary investigation. Reported asked the police chief why did the officer shoot . He said we will not speculate. We need to complete our investigation. The details are still very thin. We dont know much about specifically what happened at this scene in washington that led to a shooting of a male in southeastern d. C. Protestors are gathering. You are seeing a lot of activity on twitter calling for people to protest. To gather at this Police Station. This is now all unfolding in southeast d. C. In front of the precinct there in d. C. Thanks, rich. Coming up the lawlessness in america as democrat run cities continues. Portland mayor ted wheeler said he will move out of his home after an angry group of rioters showed up at his Apartment Building and lit things on fire. I would move too or get a new mayor.

Welcome back to hannity. Lawlessness in americas most liberal cities continues. We have some disturbing updates tonight. Seattle police discovered spike strips and weapons inside the tents located in the former chop i dont know. Chicago Police Released Surveillance Footage of looters from an incidence on may 31st and are asking the public to help identify the suspects. In portland mayor ted wheeler announced he will move out of his condo. On monday rioters set fire to a part bench and launched fireworks. This comes as one portland store owner tells fox news, we cant hold on much longer. Amid the protests. Where are the rioters coming from . The evidence indicates its not just locals descending on American Cities but out of staters are joining as the rioting and unrest continue. President trump ordered the federal government to process a defunding of new york city, seattle, portland, washington, d. C. , where protestors are outside of a Police Station tonight after an officer involved shooting. Here with more reaction civil rights attorney leo and fox and friends cohost pete. You are a lawyer. I want you to help the viewers understand why judges tell the jury you must wait until the last witness has testified and the last piece of evidence has been put in before you can reach a conclusion. Why not do that in this investigations too . Its simple. You want all of the facts and all of the evidence for the jury to make an informed decision. But what you see right now is a strategy of these extremists. Whenever there is a shooting, go protest, burn and destroy. What is sad is that these individuals are getting protection from democratic mayors and they hate the democratic mayors. Thats what is happening in portland. They make deals with antifa and black lives matter and they dont get the respect. Also ridiculous, joe biden because of polling pressure is now reacting to. It joe biden hasnt acknowledged the injured Police Officers. Ey hasnt acknowledged the black on black crime. He cant even say the word antifa because they are beholden to these extremist groups. They will protest without knowing any of the facts. Its ludicrous. Its crazy and chaotic. Well, he also wants to be the chief Law Enforcement officer for the country and made up his mind in kenosha and decided charges should be leveled even though the investigation is ongoing. Pete, you have strip spikes. Youve got weapons. You have looting in chicago. You have the fbi Warning Police officers that they may be targeted for shooting. What happened to the peaceful protest . You know person i do the First Amendment gives you the right to Peaceful Assembly. Thats not what we are talking about. Thats what democrats cant figure out. The only choice you have is to enforce the law. Ted wheeler says i am moving out. The first thing the mayor should say that everybody in my neighborhood deserves to live in a peaceful environment. The minute you throw a rock or bottle or start a fire, you are committing a crime and the police will do something about it. From joe biden all the way down the Democrat Party they wont condemn antifa or black lives matter. I almost said they would not empower the police which would make this seem like they are propolice. They are throwing the police under the bus. They are supposed to protect the community. They are trying to blame donald trump. He backed the police and said i will give you what you need. I will give you federal support and the national guard. For Peaceful Assembly to exit the law breakers have to be held accountable. If you give ground they take more. They would have gone all the way to the white house. They said we will burn it down. Ted wheeler and the mayor in minneapolis, he got booed. They can never satisfy the mob because they dont empower Law Enforcement. It only gets worse. We are not talking about cracking down on protestors. You break a law you are held accountable for it. The democrats cant figure that out. It looks like the vicepresident biden pivoted to more of a law and order message. Is it too late . What do you think caused that shift we saw yesterday and today . Well, is it too late . Yes he lost the law and order arguments to President Trump. The whole purpose of the shift is they thought they could allow democratic cities to burn and still win the white house. The American Public gets. It the democrat allowed criminals to run the cities. Cities are in flames. Everyone should be aware of these criminals. Its too late for them to change course. Donald trump will win on the law and order argument. He will win in november. Pete and leo, thank you. Coming up, joe biden continues to change positions on some of the post pressing issues our country facing. Now trying to decide whether he supports a National Mask mandate. Biden versus bind. Biden. Plus we are monitoring the protests in washington, d. C. After an officer involved shooting. A live report coming up next on the ground. This is a fox news alert. Protestors are gathered outside of a Police Station in our nations capitol after an officer involved shooting. Evan joins us tonight. You see there is a group of protestors about 100 or so are saying black lives matter and saying we want answers and standing inches from Police Officers there at the front of the 7th district headquarters in d. C. Can you hear some of the chants. Earlier we saw that there were some protests at the scene of this shooting. Police telling us that an officer fired a shot at an 18yearold young man and that man later died. They also are chanting that mans name as well. Not a whole lot of information at this point about what caused that officer to fire. Police told us they recovered two guns from the area. They believe that subject who was shot and killed was armed. I talked to an aunt of that person, that man, who said they do not believe that. We should learn more about this in a few days because there is a new law in effect that says body camera video of these incidents in d. C. Comes without within 5 games. Days. They want answers here. It reflects what has happened across the country in minneapolis, in kenosha as well. These people are demanding answers from police. We hope to learn a lot more. Thank you. Joe biden continues to have a hard time deciding what he believes even on major policy issues confronting the country. Just weeks ago joe biden and Kamala Harris were pushing for a National Mask mandate. Biden is not sure he agrees with biden now. Listen to this. I am a constitutionalist you cant do things the constitution doesnt allow you the power to do. I would put pressure on every governor, every senator excuse me, every mayor and every county executive and local official and everyone in business. Putting pressure on them to say what you are doing is irresponsible. Make sure you wear a mask and mainta maintain social distancing. They are blaming serious differences with a bill stalled in the house. Joining me now is devin nunes and a congresswoman from new york. Devin, i have no idea whether the vicepresident supports a mask mandate or will lock the country down. It cant be due to a lack of time in congress because he was there for french years. Do you know what he believes . 47 years . I am disappointed. That was one part of the democratic platform i understood other than wanting to defund the police and allow riots across the country. The one thing i did understand was biden was for a mask mandate. Now we have salon gate in california where the speaker of the house assumed she was not abiding by bidens mask mandate either. Yes, i want to ask about the coronavirus rereef. Relief. You are wise and fair. What do you make of what happened with nancy pelosi in california . Is the criticism fair for having a different set of rules for everyones than herself . Absolutely the criticism is fair. When i first ran for congress one of the biggest promises you make to the American People is that members of congress and elected officials live by the same laws as everyone else. This is a classic example that we saw from nancy pelosi, hypocrisy, do as i say and not as i do. What is shameful she is blaming it on a set up and blaming it on the Small Business owner. I spoke directly to many salon owners in my district. I was aware of the what the rules are. Thats part of your job as a policy maker. This is the height of hypocrisy from Speaker Pelosi. She should apologize to the Small Business owner and work to ensure we can safely open Small Businesses. Its disappointing to see. There will be accountability when the American People see this. Your perspective on that because i consider you to be a fair person. I will go back to what i wanted to talk to you about the Coronavirus Relief package and why its been stalled and what needs to be done to move it forward. Well, make no mistake. Speaker pelosi walked away from 3 different offers that provided relief to Small Businesses and funding to schools to safely reopen. We need to come together and compromise. The white house has over and over again reached out to her. We are in a divided government. Nancy pelosi needs to put aside partisan politics and comes to the table and doesnt hold the American People of Small Businesses hostage. Devin nunes, John Ratcliffe announced he will suspend in person briefings. Can you shed light for viewers on what that decision was . You can answer that question because you were with us as leaks consider on a daily basis. This is long overdue. We gain nothing from the briefers. A lot of these people are professionals. They have been out in the war zones. They come back into washington, into congress and what the democrats do is they play got cha and run upstairs and talk to the friends in the media. Its leaking classified information. Its always for one thing to build whatever false narrative they are building for that day or week. We know how that ended with that russian collusion hoax where they decimated the fbi and the department of justice. You are still getting the intelligence. You are not getting it in the form that can be leaked; is that fair . Absolutely. We are getting written briefings. We dont want to see the illegal leaks we have seen from schiff and democrats on the committee. Thank you. T we did with coog. You felt safe and, if you were safe, you could be joyful. Everybody has a coogans. And almost half those Small Businesses, they could close if people dont do something. We have to keep our communities together. Thats how we get through this. Welcome back to hannity. That is all the time we have left. Before we go. My new book it doesnt hurt to ask is out now. It will help you survive thanksgiving lunch and ask all the right questions. Thanks for joining us. Raymond arroyo is filling in for laura ingraham. Hope you have a great show. Thank you, congress deteriorate man. Congressman. I am Raymond Arroyo on the the ingraham angle. We are monitoring protests live in washington, d. C. After officers shot and killed a young black men. Police say two guns were recovered. First after viciously attacking President Trump for visiting kenosha, goes where joe biden is going tomorrow . Kenosha. Then we take you to sacramento and chicago two cities reeling from antifa attacks and gang members targeting police. And lou holtz joins
