00:00And welcome to Hannity. And following yesterday's indictment, this morning, former National
00:12Security Advisor John Bolton, he pled not guilty to 18 counts of mishandling and sharing
00:18classified information. We've got the very latest coming up in just a moment. Also, during
00:23last night's New York City mayoral debate, both Andrew Cuomo and communist Marxist Mamdani
00:30refused to say they would support New York Governor Kathy Hochul's bid for re-election.
00:36This is big news. Take a look. Show of hands, who supports Kathy Hochul for re-election?
00:41It's a decision that should be made after this general election. So no decision. It was Cuomo,
00:50he's the one that selected Hochul to be his running mate and Hochul just endorsed Kami
00:55Marxist Mamdani for mayor. Now, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik considered by many to be a real
01:02challenger to Hochul next November. She will join us coming up. Also, the ICE protests across
01:07the country have somehow now gotten even more bizarre. You decide.
01:12All right. We have a lot more on that coming up. And by the way, we will preview the No Kings
01:32protesting weekend that's happening all over the country. God help us. But first this week,
01:38President Trump showed you the American people and the world what true leadership really looks
01:43like. Take a look at some of the best moments from what was an extraordinary and busy week. Take a look.
01:49Over the past two years, I've met many of the families of the Israelis taken hostage and those
01:57that were taken hostage. Unbelievable. I've looked into their eyes. I've seen the worst nightmares of
02:03their suffering. But I've also seen something else, the beautiful love of the people, the love of
02:09people, frankly, that hold things together, the love that gives you the courage to carry on through
02:14thousands of years of persecution and repression. This is the day that people across the region and
02:21around the world have been working, striving, hoping and praying for. Together, we've achieved what
02:28everybody said was impossible. At long last, we have peace in the Middle East. And it's a very
02:33simple expression, peace in the Middle East. And we've heard it for many years, but nobody thought
02:38it could ever get there. And now we're there. In his final moments, Charlie testified to the
02:42greatness of America and to the glory of our savior, with whom he now rests in heaven. He fought for free
02:49speech, religious liberty, strong borders, and a very strong and proud America. In everything he did,
02:56he put America first. Now, fresh off the heels of securing one of the most improbable and historic
03:05peace deals in modern history, President Trump hosted the Ukrainian President Zelensky at the White
03:11House today. He signaled progress towards yet another historic peace agreement, this time between Ukraine
03:18and Russia. Take a listen. We had a big call yesterday, as you know, with President Putin,
03:23and we'll be talking about it. President Zelensky of Ukraine has endured a lot. I mean, he really
03:30has. He's endured a lot. And we've endured it with him, to be honest. It's been a long time,
03:37and I think we're making great progress. So we're going to be talking about that today. We'll be talking
03:42about what took place yesterday with my phone call with President Putin. And I think that things are
03:49coming along pretty well. And while speaking with reporters, the president also issued a very
03:55strong warning to Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. Take a look.
04:00It has been reported that Maduro offered everything in his country, all the natural resources. He even
04:08recorded a message to you in English recently offering mediation. What should we do to stop that?
04:14He has offered everything. He's offered everything. You're right. You know why?
04:19Because he doesn't want to around with the United States. Thank you, everybody.
04:25I think that was a pretty clear, unambiguous message. But while President Trump shows what
04:29true leadership and strength actually looks like, Democrats, they continue embarrassing
04:34themselves with one bizarre stunt after another. Take a look at radical squad member AOC and Grandpa
04:41Bernie and their town hall this week on fake news, CNN.
04:46Do you think that taxpayers should be paying for the medical care of immigrants that are in the
04:51country illegally? Thank you. Well, we already know. And this is a common,
04:58this is a common lie that Republicans have been repeating. We're sick of leaders who only want to
05:05spend their time talking about that instead of talking about real issues that affect our lives.
05:10Instead of talking about health care, instead of talking about wages, instead of talking about
05:14having air that's drinkable. I mean, air that's breathable and water that's drinkable.
05:19If you tell me, think it's a good idea to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks
05:23to the richest people in the country and then make massive cuts to health care for working class people?
05:28I think Chuck Schumer has voted for continuing resolutions 13 times in the last four years.
05:33And he has the opportunity to vote for one again, but he's refusing to come to the table.
05:36Well, I think, look. You know what this country looked like before the EPA?
05:40Rivers in rural areas were on fire because of corporations poisoning the people who lived in
05:47those areas. Are you saying that Senator Schumer should not be worried about a primary challenge
05:51from you? I mean, no. Let me jump in on this one. This is what we're talking about.
05:58That's exactly what we're talking about. You have a country that is falling apart.
06:05There is your leadership of the modern radical extreme democratic socialist party. Democrats now
06:11have repeatedly voting voted against reopening the government. By the way, they don't even want to
06:17help fund the military as they have now refused literally to cave in on their insane demands.
06:231.5 trillion dollars. Refund NPR. Refund PBS. 200 billion dollars for health care for illegals.
06:32By the way, something that President Trump told our own Fox News Maria Bartiromo.
06:37It's a huge mistake. They may want to pay attention. Take a look.
06:42Chuck is, you know, at the end of the line. He's being beaten by everybody that they poll against him.
06:47And, you know, what he did is he did the right thing a couple of years ago on something like this.
06:54And he got hurt by his party. And it doesn't I don't think it matters to him. I think he's just
07:01so dead that he'll do anything. I think they could just stay out forever. I mean, to be honest with you.
07:06Now, what we're doing is we're cutting Democrat programs that we didn't want because
07:10I mean, they made one mistake. They didn't realize that that gives me the right to cut programs that
07:17Republicans never wanted, you know, giveaways, welfare programs, etc. And we're doing that and
07:23we're cutting them permanently. And as Democrats embarrassed themselves with one bizarre
07:29performative stunt one after another, Senate Majority Leader Thune ripped into the left for their latest
07:35stunts. He told Fox News dot com in an interview, quote, I think there's a ton of dysfunction in the
07:43Democratic caucus. And I think this rally this weekend is triggering a lot of this. So how are
07:48Democrats trying to spin their shutdown disaster? They, of course, they want to blame Trump, blame
07:53Republicans, despite the fact they are the ones voting to shut down the government. The Republicans,
07:59they want to clean CR, keep government spending at current levels while they negotiate. And they're
08:06telling you not to believe your lying eyes. In other words, they think we're stupid. Listen to
08:11one House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries had to say. We need to reopen the government and we need to
08:17reopen the government now. Part of the problem is that House Republicans are nowhere to be found,
08:23literally have been on vacation for three consecutive weeks, have canceled votes
08:31for three consecutive weeks. They are in the Legislative Witness Protection Program.
08:37Somebody tell this guy the House already passed the CR. Now, make no mistake, shutting down the
08:42government goes against every single solitary position that Chucky Schumer has taken throughout
08:48his entire political career. Hence the Schumer shutdown. So what's changed? He is scared to death of this
08:55new radical base, the squad, NAOC and Jasmine Crockett, Grandpa Bernie, Pocahontas. He is desperately
09:04trying to appease all of them to cling on to perceived power. He has none. They're in charge. He is leader in
09:12name only. The radical base organizing more of these No Kings protests all across the country tomorrow.
09:19By the way, I have a bad feeling about this and I hope I'm wrong. One of which Chucky is actually
09:24attending. I'm sure he's going to be well received. Take a listen. The vast majority of Americans want to
09:30preserve this democracy and the No Kings rally says that in a very strong way. I will join the marchers
09:40to celebrate what makes this country so great. Well, I haven't finalized my schedule for the weekend,
09:45given, you know, the sensitivities around the government shutdown. But I support the right of
09:51every single American to participate in the rallies that are going to take place this week.
09:58And showing up to express dissent against an out of control administration. That's as American as
10:05motherhood, baseball and apple pie. Now, yesterday, the White House press secretary,
10:10Caroline Leva, called out Democrats for their unwavering allegiance to this new radical wing
10:15of the Democratic Party. Take a look. The Democrat Party's main constituency are made up of Hamas
10:22terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals. That is who the Democrat Party is catering to,
10:28not the Trump administration and not the White House and not the Republican Party,
10:32who is standing up for law abiding Americans, not just across the country, but around the world.
10:39Now, these comments prompted this unhinged meltdown from the House minority leader,
10:44Hakeem Jeffries. Take a look.
10:45We got Caroline Levitt, who's sick. She's out of control. And I'm not sure whether she's just demented,
10:54ignorant, a stone cold liar or all of the above. But the notion that an official White House spokesperson
11:06would say that the Democratic Party consists of terrorists, violent criminals and undocumented
11:12immigrants, this makes no sense. That this is what the American people are getting from the Trump
11:19administration in the middle of a shutdown. All right. Time now for a White House press briefing
11:26with White House press secretary Caroline Levitt. I just have a funny feeling you might want to respond
11:32to all of this. I sure would, Sean. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so. Look,
11:39Hakeem Jeffries is simply lashing out because he knows that I am telling the truth about the modern
11:45day Democrat Party. What I said, and it is a fact, is that the Democrat Party caters more to pro-Hamas
11:53terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals. And let me walk Hakeem through the facts of that
11:59statement. When it comes to pro-Hamas terrorists, it was Hakeem's House Democrat caucus that voted
12:06against a resolution condemning the October 7th attack on Israel. It was Hakeem Jeffries' Democrat
12:14caucus that supported and encouraged the pro-Hamas protests that ravaged college campuses and engaged
12:21in illegal harassment of Jewish students across the United States of America under Joe Biden's
12:27administration. When it comes to illegal aliens, the American people know the truth about that.
12:32The Democrats allowed them to flood our country. Why? Because they view that constituency
12:37as their future voters. And when it comes to violent criminal, uh, criminals, look at what the
12:44Democrats support in terms of crime, soft on crime policies like cashless bail, like letting violent
12:51criminals out back into the streets so they can recommit violent offenses against law abiding American
12:57citizens. The Democrat Party puts Americans last. That's why they overwhelmingly lost the election to
13:03President Trump and the Republican Party. And that's why they're holding this country hostage
13:08right now from law abiding tax paying American citizens who want the government to be open.
13:15So Hakeem Jeffries should stop calling me names. He should stop trying to fight my boss,
13:20President Trump, and he should go back to doing what he was elected to do,
13:23the business of the American people in Congress and encourage Senate Democrats to open the government.
13:30And I see Hakeem Jeffries saying House Republicans are out. They're not even here. Yeah, because they
13:35did their jobs and they passed a clean continuing resolution at the behest of President Trump to
13:40keep the government open. And now Senate, Senate Democrats and Chuck Schumer are blocking that to
13:46fight Donald Trump. And it's despicable. Okay. I want to set the record straight here because
13:53he lied in what he's saying. And Democrats have been lying about this as well. And I watched you one
13:58day at the podium and you laid out the facts. They are demanding $1.5 trillion in new spending
14:07to keep the government open for seven weeks. Wow. That's a lot of money included in that money.
14:14$200 billion healthcare for illegals, the continuation of COVID subsidies for people well above the poverty
14:23level. That was meant to be temporary in the first place. They want to fund NPR, PBS, all these DEI,
14:31you know, initiatives around the world, or they're not going to open the government. They're not going
14:36to let our military get paid. They're not going to let Homeland Security officials that are working get paid.
14:42That's, that's where we are. And meanwhile, Republicans will fund the government at current
14:47levels while they negotiate new budgets. Cause that's, they're just flat out lines. Oh,
14:52we're not funding illegal immigrants. Yes, they are. They are. Their continuing resolution that they
14:58proposed to keep the government open included a poison pill that would have undone what President
15:05Trump's one big, beautiful bill did, which is to restrict illegal aliens from receiving Medicaid
15:10benefits. President Trump fixed that in the one big, beautiful bill and Democrats want to take
15:14it away because they want these tax paying taxpayer funded benefits to continue to go to illegal aliens
15:21in our country. This has been done for the past four years under the Biden administration and the American
15:26people roundly rejected it. And you hear AOC, who is apparently the new leader of the Democrat
15:31party in that CNN town hall say to a concerned American, when that American asked, do you want my
15:37taxpayer funded benefits going to illegals? She said, that's a Republican talking point.
15:42Those aren't the real issues Americans are facing. That is a lie. If you look at what happened under
15:47the Biden administration, real Americans, elderly citizens were facing an increase in wait times
15:53at hospitals and emergency care centers across the country because they were putting last in line
15:58and legal aliens were getting that care and that treatment first. And when illegal aliens get medical
16:03treatment in this country, who's paying for it? The American taxpayer. Well, not anymore under the
16:08Trump administration. That's why this administration is focused on deporting illegal aliens who violate
16:14our nation's laws. And we're going to protect the rights and the benefits of tax paying law abiding
16:21American citizens. Okay. Let's talk a little bit about world peace. The president has invested a lot of time,
16:29political resources, energy into world peace, Congo, Rwanda, Azerbaijan, Armenia, uh, Israel, Iraq. Uh,
16:39and I can go off, uh, India, Pakistan. I can go on and on. Um, we had this historic deal with the
16:46hostages were finally released, which was great. Uh, now we see Hamas radicals that are, are indicating
16:54they don't want peace. They're killing innocent Palestinians. The president has said, if you keep
16:59it up and you don't keep the terms of the agreement, you will be obliterated. So Linsky was at the
17:04white house today and, and that on the heels of a phone call with Vladimir Putin and an appointment
17:11apparently to meet once again, I think probably, uh, the word Tomahawks might've gotten Putin's attention.
17:18Uh, can you give us an update on both, uh, of those situations? Sure. Well, first of all,
17:23Sean, I want your audience to know how hard president Trump is working in the pursuit of
17:29peace, not just here in our own country, on the homeland and the domestic front, but around the
17:33world. The president started the week flying to Israel and Egypt, came back within 36 hours to
17:40honor Charlie Kirk at the medal of freedom ceremony in the white house. And then the next day he spends
17:46three hours on the phone with president Putin trying to bring this war to an end. The following day,
17:52today we had president Zelensky at the white house and the president had a three hour long meeting
17:57with him in the cabinet room. And in both of these conversations with both Putin and Zelensky,
18:02they were cordial, but very frank. And the president of the United States has said to both sides of this
18:07war, this has been going on for far too long. Far too many innocent people have been killed.
18:13And the United States of America is growing very weary and tired of this war. Enough is enough. Both
18:20sides need to recognize the reality on the ground right now and come to a peace agreement because
18:26president Trump's patience and the patience of the American people is growing very thin with this war.
18:32And so he was very frank and direct, but president Trump will never give up. And you saw that
18:37come to a resolution with the peace deal in Israel and in Gaza, with the beautiful release
18:43of the hostages. That was another promise made and promise kept by president Trump. And it cannot
18:48be overstated how hard the president and his incredible national security team,
18:54special envoy Whitcoff, vice president Vann, secretary of state Rubio, secretary Hegseth,
18:59our chief of staff, Susie Wiles. There's so many behind the scenes as well who have worked so hard,
19:04but especially the president who literally does not sleep and works around the clock in the pursuit
19:10of peace. And he will continue to do that with respect to Russia and Ukraine, just like he has
19:15with Israel and Gaza. And he truly believes that there can be a real chance for an everlasting peace
19:20in the Middle East. And you saw Arab leaders and European leaders from around the world gathering in
19:25Egypt with the president and thanking him for this historic accomplishment. It's a new dawn in the
19:31Middle East. And we hope that can be true as well with Russia and Ukraine. And the president is
19:35working very hard on that. We could all hope for that. I mean, what a noble goal. You mentioned
19:42patience and I'm thinking, I don't know how you have the patience to deal with the state run legacy
19:46media mob every day. I would lose, I would not be able to keep my cool. You're very good at it.
19:52So I think that makes it a pretty hard job. Caroline, we appreciate your time. Thank you for
19:58being with us. And up next tonight, right here on Hannity.
20:13Buckle up, Looney left, no Kings rallies all around the country this weekend. Anti-ice protesters put on
20:19a real show outside an ICE detention facility in Illinois today. We've got the videotape. Also,
20:26earlier today, former national security advisor, John Bolton pled not guilty in court to all 18
20:33charges against him. We get analysis with Greg Jarrett straight ahead.
20:41This is a Fox News alert. I'm Kevin Cork in Washington, President Trump commuting the sentence
20:45of former New York GOP Congressman George Santos tonight, ordering his immediate release from federal
20:50prison. He was serving more than seven years after pleading guilty to fraud and identity theft
20:56charges. Santos admitted last year to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of 11 people,
21:02including members of his own family. But tonight, he's a free man.
21:05Meantime, the president is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to allow him to deploy the National Guard to
21:10Chicago after lower court rulings temporarily blocked his efforts in several states, suggesting he's
21:16overstating the need. The president's team argues the injunctions undermine his authority and leave
21:22federal immigration personnel and property vulnerable to ongoing threats and assaults.
21:27If the justices take up the case, it could have broader implications
21:31for presidential power. I'm Kevin Cork. Now back to Hannity.
21:35And earlier today, former National Security Advisor John Bolton appeared in federal court
21:47where he pled not guilty to all 18 charges against him. Bolton indicted yesterday for allegedly illegally
21:55retaining and dispersing classified information. Now, Bolton was informed in court today that he faces
22:01up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each and every count. Now, you multiply that by 18,
22:11that adds up pretty quickly. Bolton will next be in court in about a month. Here with more.
22:15Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett is with us. I want your take, but to me, either he shared that
22:24information, had that information and shared that information, or he didn't. It seems pretty black and
22:31white to me. Is there more nuance than that? No, I think you've nailed it, Sean. You know,
22:38some indictments are opaque. This one is not. The evidence appears strong and compelling,
22:45not just retaining classified documents criminally, but sharing or transmitting them to people with no
22:52security clearance whatsoever. And we're not talking about one or two records. No,
22:57more than a thousand pages stored on personal electronic devices, as well as paper copies,
23:04he printed out. I mean, the indictment essentially says this is a wholesale pilferage by Bolton of
23:11secret government records, then converted for his personal use and vulnerable to theft by foreign enemies.
23:19Indeed, that's exactly what happened. He was hacked and our nation's security was harmed. Missile launches,
23:26future attacks, covert operations, strategic communications, even weapons of mass destruction,
23:33all divulged. And a hacking by Iran only makes the case legally against Bolton more damning because it's
23:40precisely what the Espionage Act was designed to prevent. And it covers both willful and negligent
23:48retention of documents. So we can't invoke the oops defense. Gee whiz, I was sloppy. His defenses seem to be
23:57incredibly weak. These are old documents. His lawyer said that's irrelevant. Classified documents don't
24:05automatically sunset with age. They have to be specifically declassified. Yet, you know, many of
24:12these seized records still had the classified markings on them at the high level of top secret.
24:18His second defense is, well, he was pre-cleared. Well, that's a concept that doesn't even exist. He's
24:27probably referring to Bolton's book. But remember, a federal judge back then scoffed at that claim
24:33and warned Bolton that you are exposing yourself to criminal charges. Sure enough, Sean, that's exactly
24:42what happened. Wow. Unbelievable. Remember, Sandy Burglar, he stuffed all those, uh, uh, archived
24:49documents in his pants and his socks. Everyone said, oh, he's just being sloppy. Oh, everyone puts,
24:55you know, uh, national archive documents in their pants and socks and walks out. Uh, Greg Jarrett,
25:01thanks for that report. We appreciate it. Uh, now the attorney general, Pam Bondi, has just received a
25:07letter from a group of Republican US senators. Uh, they are being, they were targeted by Jack
25:12Smith's operation Arctic frost, which subpoenaed their phone records with, as the letter points out,
25:19absolutely no legal predicate for those subpoenas. In other words, they were targeted for no reason
25:25and maybe even illegally. The senators say that Jack Smith did not operate at the high standards of
25:32professional conduct that the DOJ demands and they want him investigated by the DOJ office of
25:39professional responsibility. They also want him disbarred in both New York and in Tennessee,
25:46where he has law licenses. We re we did reach out to Jack Smith and the DOJ for comment. We've not heard
25:53back here with reaction and detail. One of the senators that signed the letter, Tennessee Senator
25:59Marsha Blackburn. And you were one of the people you said you believe that you were spied on and that
26:05duly elected members of Congress were spied on. And, uh, that's gotta be pretty disconcerting.
26:13Well, indeed it is, Sean. And we do know that they received a subpoena for the records of eight
26:21senators and one congressman. This was a done in 23. Uh, we thought it was in September of 23,
26:29but then we found out from Verizon that it was in May of 23. What they want is all of the information,
26:37everybody who called us or we call to them, where we were physically standing when the call was made
26:44and the duration of the call, the phone number that it went to. So there is no predicate for this.
26:52We do think it's targeting. The commonality that runs through this is we're all Republicans.
26:59We each support president Trump and each of us had valid concerns about the 2020 election.
27:08Lindsey Graham on this program was very animated. He was angry. I don't blame him. Um,
27:15I've had my own personal text messages without my permission released to the public on numerous
27:21occasions, uh, which nobody seemed in the liberal media to care about my privacy. Uh, but putting
27:28that aside for a second, he also said that he's looking into suing Jack Smith and others personally.
27:35Yes. Are you looking into doing that?
27:39We are. There are five areas where there is a blatant violation. Our first and fourth amendment,
27:46of course, separation of powers, stored communications. All of this is brought to bear. And of course,
27:55the speech and debate clause. We are members who were doing our due diligence during a period of time.
28:03And for whatever reason, uh, Jack Smith and that CR 15 unit that was working with him. And by the way,
28:11cash Patel has fired everybody that was involved in this. But we do think sending Jack Smith to the office
28:19of professional responsibility and having the attorney general do this investigation and moving forward
28:28with disbarment and making certain that everyone that did this is held responsible. Because Sean,
28:35if they are doing this to eight U S senators, what are they doing to every conservative in this country?
28:43That's such a good point. Uh, if we don't fix this, it's only going to happen again. We got to get to
28:48the bottom of it. I'm sorry it happened to you, Senator. Uh, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts
28:53on it. Thank you for being with us and up next tonight on Hannity. I am looking to work with police
29:00officers, not to defund the NYPD. That is a lie. And we have the proof. Last night during the New York
29:08City mayoral debates, Zoran Kami, Marxist Momdani, they lied to everyone in New York City saying that
29:15he never wanted to defund the police. We actually have evidence to the contrary. And New York Congresswoman,
29:21Elise Stefanik, who now may be able to be Kathy Hochul will join us with reactions straight ahead.
29:30All right. So at last night's New York City mayoral debate, both Zoran Kami, Marxist Momdani,
29:37and Andrew Cuomo refused to answer if they would support Kathy Hochul's bid for reelection,
29:43despite the governor giving Momdani her endorsement. Take a look.
29:47Show of hands. Who supports Kathy Hochul for reelection?
29:51It's a decision that should be made after this general election.
29:54So no decision. Mr. Cuomo, you handpicked her as your intended governor. No, no.
30:00You have to know who's running. Yeah. OK, so. And I would add that I do think that Kathy Hochul,
30:06our governor, has been doing a good job in not only serving. Do you support her for reelection?
30:10Not only delivering for New Yorkers, but also standing up to Donald Trump.
30:12Just what do you support her for reelection?
30:14Then endorse her. I'm focusing on November.
30:15I appreciate her support and I appreciate her work. But you don't want to know, sir.
30:19This all comes as Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is rising in the polls in New York's gubernatorial
30:25race, currently just five points behind Hochul. But when voters learn that Hochul endorsed Momdani,
30:33Stefanik wins by about a point. Now we're going to ask the Congresswoman about this in a moment,
30:39and if she's planning on running. But first, more from last night's debate,
30:42where socialist Zoran Kami Marxist Momdani refused to answer a single question,
30:48lied repeatedly to the people of New York City, like when he denied ever wanting to refund the police.
30:55Just the opposite is true. Take a look.
30:57I am looking to work with police officers, not to defund the NYPD, looking to ensure that officers
31:04can actually do one job when they're signing up to join that department. Not the many jobs we're asked
31:09him to do today. All right, let's take a look at your screen, because what you heard was a lie.
31:16He has repeatedly called to defund and dismantle the police and intends to do this of elected mayor,
31:23wants the social workers reimagining the police and then the social social workers. Here with reaction,
31:29New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. First, you look at these polls. Now, Kathy Hochul did endorse Momdani.
31:39In that, under that scenario, in this poll, you win that race. Jack Cittarelli in New Jersey,
31:46a very deep blue state like your state of New York, is only down one point, according to Insider
31:53Advantage and Trafalgar, a poll that came out just yesterday. It's a two-point race in the
31:59Commonwealth of Virginia. What is going on here? Because there seems to be a dramatic shift.
32:08There is a dramatic shift, Sean. It's because in single-party Democrat-rule states like New Jersey,
32:14like New York, the people of those states have felt the catastrophic policies, whether it's the
32:20sky-high taxes or whether it's the criminals first, illegals first, and legal residents last,
32:27like in the state of New York. Consistently, Kathy Hochul has put violent criminals first, illegals first,
32:33anti-Semite first, and New Yorkers last. So we're watching the New Jersey race very closely.
32:39I strongly support Jack Cittarelli. He can win. We strongly support Winsome Sears in that Virginia race.
32:45She can win as well. But what you pointed out last night, Sean, is very telling. Kathy Hochul has no support.
32:51That is why she bent the knee to the anti-Semite communist Zoran Mamdami, and yet he didn't return
32:58the favor and refused to endorse her. Andrew Cuomo, who picked Kathy Hochul as his lieutenant governor,
33:04he wouldn't endorse her either. So when we run to save New York after this mayor's election,
33:10we're going to fire Kathy Hochul once and for all. And it's not just going to be with Republicans.
33:15Democrats and independents agree that we need to save our state.
33:19Most people have probably never looked at the map of New York state, because if you look at the map,
33:25Long Island is red. Upstate New York is red. Westchester is red. The only problem you have is
33:34there's one little island known as Manhattan. We have, what, 12 million people in densely populated
33:40area. And a lot of them will probably be the ones that are voting for Mamdani. So how do you convince
33:47some of those people? Well, the reality is, Sean, New York leads the nation. We're the most unaffordable
33:55state in the nation, the highest taxes. We have skyrocketing crime because of these defund the police
34:01Democrats, led by Kathy Hochul, and of course, even led more by Zoran Mamdani, who is leading in this
34:08New York City mayor's race. So this is not just Republicans we're hearing from, it's Democrats as
34:13well. And the majority is in this primary earlier this year for Democrats. It was a low turnout election.
34:20People are up in arms, including Democrats in New York City, that we're about to have a
34:25defund the police, abolish private property, someone who wants to legalize prostitution,
34:30who is an anti-Semite, who does not believe Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state,
34:35who has embraced globalized the Intifada. And Kathy Hochul has lifted him up by endorsing him.
34:42So that's how we're going to win, is we're going to lower taxes in New York. We're going to support
34:47the police. We're going to save our great state. And it's going to take people and voters from all
34:52Republicans, Democrats, and independents to do it as well. Congresswoman, thank you. We appreciate your
34:57time. All right. And up next tonight, this Friday night here on Hannity.
35:12All right. Halloween came early outside the ice facility in Broadview, Illinois.
35:17Jimmy Fallon will react as only he can. That's straight ahead. Stay with us.
35:29All right. Time this Friday night for our other news of the day segment. Another group of left-wing
35:34lunatic anti-ice protesters singing in public. I don't get the singing. This time it was outside
35:40an ice detention facility. This one in Broadview, Illinois. Take a listen.
35:44See you next time.
36:06Okay, things only got weirder from there with people dancing in animal suits.
36:19Maybe they identify.
36:20I don't know.
36:21You decide.
36:22All right, joining us now with Reaction, I can only imagine.
36:38He's the host of Fox News Saturday Night, Jimmy Fallon.
36:41What is with the singing and it's awful on top of it?
36:46Yeah.
36:46And then all the dress up.
36:49By the way, this weekend, I shudder to think how bad this is going to be.
36:54Oh, the no Kings protests?
36:56Dude, I've seen those people.
36:57It should be called no exercise.
37:00It's a lot of chunky white people showing up to these costumes.
37:05But what you're actually looking at there with these animals on the screen, that's actually
37:09the site of the Republicans winning the midterms and the Republicans winning the 2020 election.
37:15You can't put this in charge, Sean.
37:17This is a serious world with serious issues.
37:22We can't have furries doing a jazzercise routine outside an ice facility and have anyone in
37:28the world take us seriously.
37:29This is insane.
37:31Dare I even go there with you?
37:34Because I'm sure there are people at home when you say furries have no idea what you're
37:39talking about.
37:40Well, just to clean it up.
37:43I mean, really, furry is a fancy word for weirdo.
37:47OK, I don't have to get to I don't have to get too dark with this analogy.
37:50But the point is, it is adults that dress up as animals and walk around in costume.
37:56And it's bad enough.
37:58Biden behaved like a dog.
37:59Wait a minute.
38:00Don't they?
38:01Go ahead.
38:02But don't they identify with them?
38:05Yes.
38:05Like that's our identity?
38:07Yes.
38:07That that's the thing.
38:08So now you've got to talk to a guy who's a cat.
38:11OK, so you go.
38:13Joining me now is Jimmy Fallon.
38:15And I go, wow, that doesn't make sense.
38:18That's what I mean.
38:18You can't have these people in charge.
38:21So let it go on.
38:22Just keep just keep showing it.
38:23This is great.
38:25You know what?
38:26I sort of have immunity when you're on.
38:28I'm not responsible for what Jimmy says.
38:30So, OK.
38:31All right.
38:32But back to this No Kings protest for a second all across the country this weekend, by the
38:37way, public service announcement at home.
38:40Stay away.
38:40And of course, Jimmy Kimmel had to weigh in, saying, oh, the American Revolution was a
38:46No Kings rally.
38:47Can't make this one up.
38:48Take a listen.
38:50So just to be clear, peacefully protesting a wannabe dictator means you hate America.
38:55Attacking the Capitol to overturn an election?
38:57Patriotic walking tour.
38:59There is nothing more American than a political protest.
39:04The American Revolution was a No Kings rally.
39:07Yeah, of course, he never mentioned the 574 riots that killed dozens of Americans, injured
39:14thousands of cops, billions of property damage.
39:18But they called that the summer of love, mostly peaceful.
39:21It wasn't mostly peaceful.
39:22They never refer to that one.
39:24I mean, those.
39:25Yeah.
39:25Don't forget, they started a pretend country in Seattle.
39:29Do you remember CHOP?
39:30Where they had a pretend country the Democrats started.
39:33But Jimmy Kimmel obviously should stick to doing what he does best, which is finishing
39:37fifth in the ratings.
39:38He's terrible.
39:40And he should apologize to the guy who has to work the applause sign, because that guy's
39:44arm's going to fall off from prodding the audience to care about those jokes that he's
39:49telling.
39:49It's sad, man.
39:51But this is the state of liberal comedy.
39:53Go ahead.
39:54Well, they have no audience anymore.
39:57I mean, he had a nice little spike for two days.
40:00Yes.
40:00Gone.
40:00Yeah, the Trump bump came and went.
40:03Yep.
40:04Exactly.
40:05The Trump bump came and went.
40:07Out of all the things to be concerned about in today's world, crime, drugs, the economy,
40:13Kamala Harris said that her goddaughter recently called her.
40:16Jimmy, she called crying about climate change and that young people are not having children
40:23because of all of this.
40:24Here's what she said.
40:27At Gen Z, I'm very focused on Gen Z.
40:29They're experiencing what they've coined climate anxiety, which is their fear that because of
40:35changing in extreme weather, that the future of their lives is very much at stake.
40:42My goddaughter, who's a junior in college right now, was crying to me just two days ago,
40:48worried about what is the world going to be for me, auntie, she said.
40:53When I want to have kids, should I even be thinking about having children?
40:57Maybe if they'd stop lying to these kids and brainwashing them, well, it's global warming,
41:07global cooling.
41:08We'll just call everything climate change and then behind it all will be Marxism and socialism
41:13and we'll put it all in one category.
41:15By the way, I think I'm suffering from Kamala anxiety.
41:18Well, I'm surprised that her niece got through because they don't have pay phones in bars
41:24anymore.
41:25So I don't know how she got Kamala on the phone to begin with, but the only data you know that
41:30we have on climate change is the people pushing it are getting rich.
41:34Every single person shows up and goes, we're all going to die, passes around the collection
41:39plate and then jumps in a plane and flies on to, you know, hustle the next group of suckers.
41:44But I love Kamala for doing this because she's basically showing up once a week now to make
41:50everybody feel better about voting for Trump.
41:52This is actually a public service, what she's doing, Sean.
41:57That's one way to describe it.
41:59All right.
41:59Jimmy Fallon, the one and only, we'll be watching Saturday night.
42:04We wouldn't miss it.
42:05All right.
42:05More Hannity straight ahead.
