00:00Welcome to Hannity and tonight breaking news from former Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:05This is entertaining. She just confirmed something we've been telling you on the show for months and months.
00:11Jasmine Crockett is the future of the Democratic Party. Take a look.
00:15You describe in the book something that you called a secret project that you ran as vice president that you called the stars project.
00:22Yeah. Identifying up and coming talent in the Democratic Party.
00:25You'd meet with them, ask them about their interests.
00:28You say that more than one of them said they felt like they were being called to the principal's office when you asked them to come in.
00:33But the folks who you met with in this way include some of the people who you see very frequently now on MSNBC.
00:40Jasmine Crockett, Angela Also Brooks, Maxwell Frost, Robert Garcia Moore.
00:46Run, Jasmine, run. That's all I can say. We have a lot more on that coming up.
00:50Just a small sampling from the first 24 hours of Kamala's amazing book tour.
00:55It's going about as well as you would expect. We have full coverage of that.
00:59All the lowlights that will entertain you.
01:02But first, tonight, the Trump doctrine, a warning for the world and frankly, a death knell for globalism.
01:08President Trump addressing the U.N. General Assembly earlier today.
01:12And he did not hold back.
01:14It was no holds barred.
01:16Nothing was off limits.
01:18No country was off limits.
01:19No person was off limits.
01:21The U.N. was not off limits.
01:22Anyone had any doubts that Donald Trump is the leader of the free world?
01:27That illusion was shattered today.
01:29It's almost as if those gathered at the U.N. might have been worried, might have known what Trump was probably going to do.
01:36And that means go after them because there were a lot of roadblocks in the president's way this morning as he headed to deliver a message to the delegates that they were not exactly looking forward to.
01:47The escalator leading to the chamber stopped the moment the president, the first lady, if you look at this, you know, stepped onto it.
01:55And when Trump made it onto the stage, the teleprompter, that wasn't working either.
01:59And Trump recalled the episode in his speech.
02:02Take a look.
02:03All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle.
02:10If the first lady wasn't in great shape, she would have fallen.
02:13But she's in great shape.
02:16We're both in good shape.
02:17We both stood.
02:21And then a teleprompter that didn't work.
02:24This is these are the two things I got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.
02:31Thank you very much.
02:33And by the way, it's working now.
02:35Just went on.
02:36I think I should just do it the other way.
02:40It's easier.
02:41Ah, the U.N. with a history of globalism, virulent anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism, and no broken, now broken teleprompter and escalator.
02:50White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt pointed out the Times newspaper reported this weekend that U.N. staffers had actually contemplated turning off the escalators to embarrass Donald Trump.
03:01The U.N. now says the escalator stoppage was triggered by someone running it up too quickly before the Trumps.
03:10I'm not sure I buy it.
03:11Now, given the security and safety implications here, the U.N. should investigate further and maybe they should be absolutely sure.
03:18Look, there's no other way to say it.
03:19President Trump called out the U.N. directly to their face.
03:24Again, historically anti-Semitic, anti-American, pro-globalist everything.
03:29And by the way, he should.
03:32In 2023, we gave the U.N. some 13 billion taxpayer dollars, about 25 percent of their entire budget, and 75 percent of that contribution was voluntary.
03:44What do we have to show for it?
03:46A broken escalator, a broken teleprompter, and a world broken by war and a useless institution that pushes globalism.
03:54But the president was undeterred by the setbacks, proceeded to deliver what I actually believe was the best speech on the world stage I've ever seen him give.
04:04It was deep.
04:05It was impactful.
04:06It was profound.
04:08He spared no one from his truth-telling, friend or foe alike.
04:13He challenged every single globalist institution, starting with the U.N. itself, for their failures, an outdated way of thinking.
04:22He laid out a new vision for the world.
04:24President Trump uniquely understands that the power, the might, and the purpose of this country, the United States of America, must be used as a force for good.
04:34And that's exactly what he is doing.
04:36Now, that goal requires the cooperation or the fear of other nations, especially our friends and our allies, and he is using both effectively.
04:47They should not be economically supporting our enemies, and the president reminded them of all that today.
04:54Take a look.
04:54Inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products, which, as you know, I found out about two weeks ago, and I wasn't happy.
05:07Think of it.
05:08They're funding the war against themselves.
05:12Who the hell ever heard of that one?
05:15I mean, you're much closer to this city.
05:16We have an ocean in between.
05:18You're right there.
05:20And Europe has to step it up.
05:22They can't be doing what they're doing.
05:24They're buying oil and gas from Russia while they're fighting Russia.
05:31It's embarrassing to them, and it was very embarrassing to them when I found out about it, I can tell you that.
05:37How stupid.
05:38You know, Western Europe funding Putin's war machine?
05:40Now, the president did not leave Europe alone after that.
05:44He had a very dire warning for our allies in the Western world.
05:48The end is near for your societies.
05:50If you don't change course and change course fast, take a look at his admonition.
05:55Europe, on the other hand, is a long way to go with many countries being on the brink of destruction because of the green energy agenda.
06:03I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail.
06:11Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems it should, too often, it's actually creating new problems for us to solve.
06:19The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration.
06:26It's uncontrolled.
06:28Your countries are being ruined.
06:30The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders.
06:37Couldn't be more correct.
06:39And later in the day, President Trump even got the opportunity to face the French president, Emmanuel Macron, directly with his displeasure over France, recognizing a Palestinian state.
06:51Watch this encounter.
06:52Well, I think it honors Hamas, and you can't do that because of October 7th.
06:58You just can't do that.
06:59But we want our hostages back, and we don't want them back in, you know, ones and twos and take the next two years to do it.
07:06But the president did not only call out our friends.
07:09He had plenty to say about our adversaries as well.
07:12Early in his address, he reminded the world about how he handled the long-running threat of Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
07:20Peace first, always, but if negotiations falter, a time does come to use the unrivaled strength of the United States military.
07:30Take a look.
07:31The world's number one sponsor of terror can never be allowed to possess the most dangerous weapon.
07:38That's why shortly after taking office, I sent the so-called supreme leader a letter making a generous offer.
07:45I extended a pledge of full cooperation in exchange for a suspension of Iran's nuclear program.
07:54The regime's answer was to continue their constant threats to their neighbors and U.S. interests throughout the region.
08:01Today, many of Iran's former military commanders, in fact, I can say almost all of them, are no longer with us.
08:09They're dead.
08:11And three months ago, in Operation Midnight Hammer, seven American B-2 bombers dropped the 14 30,000-pound-each bombs on Iran's key nuclear facilities, totally obliterating everything.
08:26Also, the president reminding the entire world of the seven conflicts that he helped to end around the world, even ones that he had, you know, that they'd gone on for 30-plus years, on for decades.
08:40Take a look at what he said.
08:41In a period of just seven months, I have ended seven unendable wars.
08:47They said they were unendable.
08:49You're never going to get them solved.
08:51In all cases, they were raging with countless thousands of people being killed.
08:57This includes Cambodia and Thailand.
09:00Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan.
09:18It included all of them.
09:21No president or prime minister, and for that matter, no other country has ever done anything close to that.
09:27It's too bad that I had to do these things, had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them.
09:37And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them.
09:44No, they didn't.
09:45They're pretty useless.
09:46Now, after patiently offering Russia and Putin an off-ramp to war and to death, President Trump, they're now giving Russia the Iranian treatment.
09:55Now, here's what he said today after the speech about repeated Russian incursions on NATO airspace.
10:02Listen to this.
10:04Do you think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace?
10:10Yes, I do.
10:10And in a Truth Social post this afternoon, President Trump encouraging Ukraine and Europe to take the fight to Russia and announce that the U.S. will continue selling arms to NATO, which NATO can then give to Ukraine.
10:24He called Russia a paper tiger that should have won this war in three weeks.
10:29The world is now on notice.
10:31President Trump is a crusader for peace, but he will not hesitate to use the awesome might of this country for a force for good.
10:39And by the way, after they push him to the limit, he's trying hard for peace.
10:44And after a full day of diplomacy in New York today, President Trump will return to Washington and turn his attention to domestic matters like the government funding deadline approaching at the end of the month.
10:55This morning, the president canceled a meeting with Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, telling them that he will not be held hostage by their insane demands, which include things like over a trillion dollars in new spending for health care, for illegals, taxpayer funded gender swap surgeries for minors, open borders, men and women's sports.
11:15All the Democrats have to do is vote to pass a clean funding extension.
11:21Right now, they are the ones moving our government towards a shutdown, which is odd because in the past, they have been quite outspoken about how bad shutdowns are for America.
11:31In case you've forgotten, here's a reminder.
11:33It is not normal to shut down the government when we don't get what we want.
11:41If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans who suffer most.
11:46A government shutdown means seniors who rely on Social Security could be thrown into chaos.
11:51Families will be hurt. Farmers will be hurt.
11:55It's the service members who will work without a paycheck.
11:59It's the firefighters who will be furloughed.
12:02This shutdown, you know who's going to feel the pain?
12:05You know who it hurts? You.
12:06Everyday people and the most vulnerable.
12:09Seniors, veterans, working families, hungry kids, y'all.
12:18Democrats are signaling they're ready for a fight.
12:20This time, Schumer tells the Associated Press, quote, things have changed.
12:24It is not normal to shut down the government when we don't get what we want.
12:36Don't you just love the Washington swamp?
12:38Surprise, surprise.
12:39Democrats playing politics again.
12:41President Trump presented a bold new vision for America in the world today at the U.N.
12:47They want no part of it.
12:48They would rather just wallow in their own hatred.
12:50Anyway, here is South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.
12:53Senator, you have 85 co-sponsors for a bill to sanction countries that are funding Putin's war machine.
13:03Look, it's a nuclear-owned country.
13:05We don't want a conflict with Putin.
13:08I don't like that Biden got us into a proxy war and he was giving all of these weapons.
13:14Trump is selling the weapons.
13:15And he's basically saying, maybe Putin is a paper tiger.
13:18He should have won that war in seven days.
13:21Didn't happen.
13:24Trump, 2028.
13:26I hope this never ends.
13:28When he asks, what should you do if a Russian jet flies into your country?
13:32Shoot it down.
13:33He's tried to go out of his way to get Putin to the table.
13:38We don't want to humiliate Russia.
13:40We just want to end the war.
13:41And to our friends in Russia, here's what Trump did today.
13:45He told NATO, I'll sell you all the weapons you want.
13:49You can provide them to Ukraine.
13:51And as to Ukraine, you can use them any way you want.
13:54So to the Russian military, you're going to be up against the high-end American weapons
13:59that will be sold to NATO for the benefit of Ukraine.
14:02And this war is coming to your backyard here with no limitations like Biden.
14:08He's everything Biden wasn't.
14:11He stood up to the U.N. in the U.N. and called them out for who they are.
14:15Forty-five resolutions, Sean, in the United Nations condemning Israel in the last 15 years,
14:22more than the entire world combined.
14:25If you looked at the U.N., the biggest problem on the planet is Israel.
14:29Forty-five condemning resolutions against Israel, more than the entire world combined.
14:35So he put Putin on notice today that I'm going to give Ukraine, sell Ukraine,
14:40the weapons they need to continue this fight, and it's coming into your backyard.
14:44He told Europeans, if you don't stop buying Russian oil and gas,
14:48you've got nobody to blame but yourself.
14:50Hungary, Slovakia, and Turkey are buying a billion dollars of Russian oil and gas a month.
14:56So God bless President Trump.
14:58I think he gave the right message on a world stage.
15:02And, you know, he told the world what they needed to hear.
15:05Up your game.
15:06You know, call it the Trump Doctrine.
15:08Call it the Trump Manifesto.
15:10I don't care what you want to call it, but when, you know, you think about it.
15:13But he's against globalism.
15:15I love it.
15:16He doesn't want ever wars.
15:17He's trying really hard.
15:19He's invested a lot of political capital to bring about peace.
15:22But he also understands the power of this country economically, the power of this country militarily.
15:30The action that I would call the destiny of America to be a force for good on this planet.
15:36And really just went after every status quo, every standard establishment way of thinking from the U.N. on down all the way through our allies and our foes.
15:48I thought it was masterful in that in that regard.
15:50And it is America basically leading the cause of freedom to me.
15:57It's everything that Biden didn't do, everything Obama didn't do.
16:01They go to the U.N. and apologize for our greatness as a country.
16:05Donald Trump told our friends in Europe, you're our allies, but stop buying Russian oil and gas.
16:10How can I end the war when you're fueling the enemy?
16:13We're going to start going after countries that prop up Putin's war machine.
16:17We're going to sell weapons to NATO for the benefit of Ukraine.
16:21That's the only way this war is going to end is a one-two punch.
16:26Weapons and cutting off his customers, strangling his customers.
16:30But when it comes to America first, this was a good example of it.
16:35He told the U.N., you're more the problem than the solution.
16:38These seven wars that he ended, if it weren't for Donald Trump, they'd all be going on.
16:42Rwanda and Congo has been going on for 37 years.
16:45It really does matter who's in the White House.
16:48This guy's a cross between P.T. Barnum and Ronald Reagan.
16:52He's in everybody's head.
16:55God bless you, President Trump, for standing up in the U.N. and telling the world the way it is.
17:01We don't have to live this way.
17:03We don't have to live with a Europe that's buying Russian oil at the time we're all trying to stop the war with Russia and Ukraine.
17:09So I hope he runs again.
17:11You know, the First Lady today met with the First Lady of Ukraine to talk about 20,000 Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russian forces.
17:20Russia is a paper tiger.
17:22You know, they've been fighting Ukraine for three and a half years.
17:25Ukraine's outnumbered 10 to 1.
17:27They've been kicking Russia's ass.
17:28The only thing they've been able to do is kidnap children in Russia and occupied, Ukrainian-occupied territory by Russia.
17:35And the First Lady today gave her voice to those kids.
17:38So I've got a bill to make Russia a state sponsor of terrorism if they don't turn these Ukrainian kids back over to their family.
17:45The Trumps have changed everything.
17:47This world is better off for President Trump being president.
17:50And there's a new sheriff in town, and you saw it today.
17:52Senator Graham, appreciate you being with us.
17:56Now, if you have ever been to downtown Miami, you'll probably see a building called the Freedom Tower.
18:02It's right there.
18:03And it is a national historic landmark.
18:06It was built for a newspaper but famously housed the processing center for hundreds of thousands of Cubans arriving in Miami after fleeing communism and misery there.
18:17And now it is set to be the next-door neighbor of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library and Museum.
18:23Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed this site for the library, and a state board is meeting later this month to approve the selection.
18:32He joins us now with the details from the free state of Florida, my state.
18:36Governor, good to have you.
18:39Yeah, you know, Sean, I was thinking about this, and this is something that resonates with you.
18:42You know, Donald Trump's library, in many ways, was a natural fit for New York City, given his history there, given how he became famous in real estate and The Apprentice and all this stuff.
18:55And yet they treated him horribly, political indictment.
19:00You have the Letitia James trying to do a civil case to try to bankrupt them.
19:05That was all for politics.
19:06And then you've seen the city really take a downward spiral, and people like you have fled to the free state of Florida.
19:14So I think the fact that we have it in Florida is really a testament to, you know, we appreciate what the president's done for the country, but we're also a state that is on the rise.
19:25And that's a place you're going to want to have that library right down there in Miami.
19:31Yeah, well, buckle up.
19:33If Kami, Marx's mom, Donnie, gets elected, another wave of New Yorkers will be exiting the city.
19:42And Wall Street South, which is very real right now, will even be that much bigger.
19:46Let's get your analysis of the president at the U.N. today.
19:49I'm not a big fan of the U.N.
19:50I wouldn't care if they sent it off to China myself.
19:55Oh, yeah.
19:55I mean, I've been in favor of defunding the U.N. for a long time.
19:59I think Congress should do that.
20:01I think it's a totally corrupt and feckless body.
20:04And I think it was refreshing that the president went there in front of a generally hostile body and told the truth and told them why they were wrong, told them why their open borders globalism has failed, how their green energy obsession has failed.
20:21And he talked about what good policies mean for America first.
20:25So I agree with you.
20:26I thought it was one of the best speeches he's given on international affairs.
20:30I bet you a lot of those people in that audience may not have liked it, but it was the right message and they needed to hear it.
20:36What do you think of he is?
20:39He's played a role in seven countries, conflicts coming to an end.
20:43He's pushing hard to bring an end to a conflict in the Middle East.
20:47I think Israel has every right to finish the job.
20:50They've had hundreds of thousands of rockets, terror tunnels, what happened on October 7th.
20:55They can no longer withstand rockets being fired from the north, south, the Houthis or anybody else.
21:01Finish the job against radical Islamism and then hopefully maybe a new era there.
21:06But more importantly, now he's going after Putin.
21:09He gave Putin every opportunity to come to the table, negotiate a deal.
21:13Now he's going to bankrupt him.
21:14And why do I believe he'll be successful?
21:19Well, that's the thing.
21:20I mean, he really has tried to use diplomacy and to come to agreements, even with people that are very much opposite U.S. interests.
21:29And you saw that with with Iran.
21:32And it was clear that that wasn't going to happen.
21:34And so then he had an opportunity to deliver a devastating strike and he took it and it was swift and it was a significant.
21:42And I think you're seeing the same thing, maybe not military, but I think that Vladimir Putin does not want to bring an end to this.
21:50I think that's very clear.
21:51I think the president's patience has worn thin and I think he's ready to ratchet up the pressure.
21:57But part of that is the Europeans doing their part.
22:00They haven't historically.
22:01They're doing a little bit more militarily.
22:03But as you pointed out in the previous interview, they're buying a lot of energy from from Russia.
22:09So I think he was right to call that out.
22:12That's so stupid.
22:13You know, they're the ones that will always come to us saying we need to send more money over there because it's such a threat to the European continent.
22:21And if that's true, then why are you buying this energy from them?
22:25So I think that this is going in a direction where the president's going to use the levers at his disposal to help engineer a positive outcome for the U.S.
22:36and our Western allies.
22:37That's why he famously gave then Chancellor Angela Merkel the white flag of surrender.
22:43What's this for?
22:43Well, you're helping to make Putin rich.
22:45You know, you're funding his war machine.
22:47Not a good idea.
22:48Governor, great to see you.
22:50And up next tonight here on Hannity.
22:53Look, as far as I'm concerned, he's the Democratic nominee and he should be supported.
22:58Wow.
22:59Thank you, God.
23:00What you saved us from.
23:01Kamala Harris, our book tour is in full swing last night.
23:04She gave a tepid endorsement even for, yes, Marxist Kami Mamdani.
23:10We'll explain.
23:12Clay Travis weighs in straight ahead.
23:13Jeff Bezos tenure as Washington Post owner in Spotlight as paper grapples with low moral staffer exodus.
23:28Billionaire Amazon founder brought the paper in 2013 for $250 million.
23:34Jeff Bezos is facing a new round of scrutiny as the billionaire owner of the Washington Post
23:41and whether he bears any responsibility for the struggles the paper is facing 12 years after he bought it.
23:49Bezos was the subject of a lengthy story published on Monday in the New Yorker with the headline
23:56Is Jeff Bezos Selling Out the Washington Post?
24:15The piece offered the timeline beginning with Bezos' $250 million purchase of the post
24:21from the Graham family dynasty in 2013, noting the paper's leadership changes
24:27between Marty Baron, Sally Busby and current interim executive editor Matt Moray
24:33revisiting various newsroom controversies over the years
24:37and Bezos' apparent chuminess with the president, Donald Trump, since the election.
24:43One post-staffer from the story told New Yorker's Claude Malone how out of touch Bezos seemed
24:51during one-on-one sit-downs with a group of the post's journalists in January 2023.
24:57He is isolated and he hasn't done the work to engage and be a hands-on owner.
25:03The journalist told Malone,
25:05If you're going to own a media property right now, you need to be all in and understand the landscape.
25:10However, what's widely seen as a stain on Bezos' tenure as the post's owner
25:16was his unilateral decision to quash the paper-planned endorsement of Kamala Harris
25:21just weeks before the 2024 election.
25:26The non-endorsement shook a lot of people because it was done in such a ham-handed fashion
25:32and that was all Bezos.
25:34One post-staffer told Fox News Digital no-one would have cared if he had announced the policy two years earlier.
25:43That move by Bezos prompted resignations and more than 250,000 cancelled subscriptions
25:49from outraged liberal readers.
25:51It remained unclear if the post is able to recover from the long-lasting damage that it's caused,
25:56the starver said.
25:57In the months since, the post has faced an unprecedented exodus of its top talent,
26:04like national editor Philip Rucker, who went to CNN,
26:08managing editor Mantia Gold, who went to the New York Times,
26:12and top reporters like Josh Dorsey, who went to the Wall Street Journal,
26:16as well as Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer,
26:19both who fled to the Atlantic.
26:21Last week, the post reporter Aaron Blake was poached by Rucker,
26:27now serving as CNN's Senior Vice President of Editorial Strategy and News.
26:33Aaron is a real loss, but a smart move by Rucker.
26:38CNN will make him a star, the post-staffer told Fox News Digital.
26:42While many post employees landed jobs at other outlets,
26:46others left in protest of Bezos, including columnists Jennifer Rubin and Eugene Robinson in January.
26:54Cartoonist Antelius resigned after her bosses refused to publish a cartoon
26:59that depicted Bezos and other groveling at the feet of then-president-elect Trump.
27:04Incidentally, she was awarded a Pulitzer Prize last week for delivering piercing commentary
27:10on powerful people, institutions with deafness, creativity and fearlessness
27:15that led to her departure from the news organisation after 17 years.
27:22In February, post-opinion editor David Shipley stepped down after Bezos ordered columns
27:28regularly defending personal liberties and free markets and banning viewpoints that opposed them.
27:32Veteran post-communist Ruth Marcus also resigned after her peace-calling-out-Bezos policy was killed.
27:39The move by Bezos, similar to his non-endorsement decision,
27:41reportedly cost the paper another 250,000 paid subscribers.
27:47Moral has never been lower at the post, but blame is not pointed at Bezos.
