It's him but he was just "experimenting"


Transcript:


SEAN HANNITY (HOST): So yesterday on the program, I did an experiment about our corrupt media. The only other person that knows about this is my producer Lynda McLaughlin. And I said, “Linda, did you see the story?” It was a satire piece out of Canada that was picked up, that, oh, if Trump wins, Obama and his family are moving to Canada. We knew it was BS, and I said so, you and I said so yesterday. And then I said, “watch what I’m gonna do.” And she looks at me and she goes, “what are you up to?” I said, “watch.” And I said, “I’m going to test our media.” So I told the story because Josh Earnest was asked about this satirical piece. And he wouldn't give a definitive answer if Obama’s gonna stay if Trump wins. “He’s going to continue to work to make sure that never happens,” but he wouldn’t say whether he’d stay or not. So then I did what I always do when these people say they're gonna leave the country. I said, I will charter a jet the size of Air Force One, to which Obama has become accustomed, and of course free, I’ll be paying for it because we’ve been paying for it, all his trips to Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard, and everywhere else that he hangs out. And I said, “I’ll even put caviar and champagne,” and I said, “If he wants to go to Canada, I’ll pay for him on the private jet.” And I said, “I’d try and charter Trump’s jet, if he’d let me charter it, and send him to Canada.” And then I said, “If he wants to go to Kenya, I’ll send him to Kenya.”

Now, I just watched -- somebody sent me -- and I watched the whole 33 minutes of video produced by Obama’s sister of him in Kenya when he was visiting. And it was interesting, a few lines in there that are interesting to me, but putting that aside. So his family is there. So I said Kenya. And then I said, “If he wants to go to Jakarta,” remember Nicholas Kristof of New York Times quoted, “his time in Jakarta, he went to a Muslim school in Jakarta,” I’m not calling him a Muslim, “he went to a Muslim school,” and, anyway, I’m not going there either. And then he said, you know, Nicholas Kristof, with a first-rate accent, he said, “the call to prayer is the most beautiful sight on Earth.” A paraphrase.

HANNITY: And then I said, “or anywhere else he wants to go.” Now, Lynda, what did I tell you would happen?

LYNDA MCLAUGHLIN: That they would only report on one place and that they would make it completely biased, and selective hearing, and selective printing, and selective editing. And that’s what they did.

HANNITY: And what was the headline all across the media last night?

MCLAUGHLIN: Sean Hannity says that he'll send Obama back to Kenya.

HANNITY: Pretty much. Now, I told you, I’m going to mention Canada first, then Kenya, then Jakarta, and then anywhere else. And I said to you, “Lynda, they’re going to say Kenya. Watch.”

[…]

HANNITY: So, it was a little experiment. What does it prove? The media didn’t tell you the whole story. They didn’t say that I offered to pay for Canada. They didn’t say that I offered Jakarta. They didn’t mention that I said Kenya because of the video that I saw. They wanted you to believe that Hannity said Kenya. What does that say about them? What does that say about them? That they are morally corrupt, bankrupt, and irresponsible in their reporting. And it was just a little test me and Lynda did yesterday, in light of the 65 new WikiLeaks, reporters that were wined and dined by the Obama people.

When Hannity drops the mic, somehow it looks like he was just clumsy

Even if you hate trump, you have to love how he's destroying the establishment GOP.
I could never vote for a hyper Christian conservative.

I'm a libertarian, but I could. For example, if Jesus ran, I'd be on board with that . . . might complain a bit about spending so much helping the poor and I would have a tough time getting past the whole bit about if another country attacks you, turn the other cheek but I could probably manage it. His old fashioned family values are off the charts.

Jesus would be a socialist.

Probably, unless he was intelligent and studied history and saw what those governments tend to turn into. He was an outstanding scholar at yeshiva after all.

Jesus did say this though

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Probably too little too late to change outcome of election, but this doesn't bode well for the likely Clinton administration.

Clinton Foundation memo

Wouldn't make me support Trump, but it reinforces my perception that these are some pretty lousy choices.

Here's a clip of the two candidates, with some commentary from Nate

Watch on YouTube

[dckingsfan]

Wouldn't make me support Trump, but it reinforces my perception that these some pretty lousy choices.

Isn't this just the case - both candidates feel so slimy and corrupt. Both parties feel the same way.

It seems like the real issues that we need to deal with just get swept under the rug. Very frustrating.

Wonder if a Clinton administration will be similar to the second Nixon administration, preoccupied with defending itself rather than getting things done. Even if investigations are (at least in part) partisan-driven witch hunts, it's still not good for accomplishing anything.

[Kanyewest]

I wonder who terd voted for?

Google says that Leonsis endorsed Clinton in June. I wonder if he wrote in EG.

My Obamacare rate for next year is now over 1000 a month. I now have *one* choice on the marketplace, with a 5000 deductible.

Prior to this glorious law I paid 182 a month with no deductible and had better coverage via Aetna for nearly a decade. My first rate via the marketplace was roughly double that.

Even if I agreed with Trump on everything and thought Hillary was the nastiest woman alive, I'd vote for her because of the bully tactics by Trump and his band of morons. This is an example of why. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/if-trump-loses-im-grabbing-my-musket-former-congressman-tweets/ar-AAjrBkb?li=BBnbfcL

It's a clear attempt to incite violence. These are disgusting pathetic scare tactics.

Never bring a musket to a gunfight, I always say

I don't think a congressman tweeting "I'm grabbing my musket" is a scare tactic

It is if he's talking to his secretary
