This is a rush transcript from "Hannity," September 8, 2021. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

SEAN HANNITY, FOX NEWS HOST: Welcome to HANNITY. Busy breaking news night.

Disturbing news from Afghanistan: four dangerous Gitmo detainees released by Obama and Biden in 2014, they have now been appointed to key positions in the new Islamic Emirate known as Afghanistan. Great job, Joe and Barack.

They joined several other notable terrorists at the top of the Taliban's new government.

Now, these radical Islamists are holding our fellow Americans hostage, blocking them from leaving the country, sending death squads door to door, hunting for anyone that helped America, that has Western ties in the last 20 years.

But, tonight, the Biden administration, they are more concerned with the Taliban's lack of inclusivity. I wish I was kidding but I am not.

It's day 25, Americans abandoned behind enemy lines and held hostage.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANTONY BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE: With regard to the composition of this government or interim government, it includes people who have very challenging track records.

REP. MIKE WALTZ (R-FL): Allowing the Taliban to pick its most wanted, its top draft picks out of Guantanamo, to now see them in charge of what is quickly becoming a terrorist super state is just a slap in the face.

REP. JIM JORDAN (R-OH): So I guess we shouldn't be surprised when now terrorist people have been let go and everything else are running the very organization that this State Department and this administration is trying to negotiate with. It makes absolutely no sense.

WALTZ: Every time I don't think this situation can get any worse, it does.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ANNOUNCER: Americans Held Hostage, Abandoned Behind Enemy Lines, Day 25.

HANNITY: Twenty-five days, Americans held hostage, abandoned behind enemy lines.

Let me say this one more time, all of this could have been prevented easily, from April to May, from May to June, to July to August. We had months to withdraw all of our people, we had a duty to halt -- we saw the Taliban advancing. We could have easily maintained control of Bagram Air Base.

We could have aggressively bombed the Taliban with drones and we could have expedited the withdrawal of Americans and their families and also our Afghan allies, and the billion dollars plus worth -- billions of dollars worth of military equipment while we had full control.

Biden was warned daily by the intel community about the deteriorating situation he chose to lie to this country, lie to all of us about the well- trained Afghan military they were all getting their asses kicked and the entire world was watching. And, of course, he encouraged Afghanistan's president, the one that abandoned the country with a lot of money, to lie to the world. And now, the fate of our fellow Americans rests in the hands of terrorists, including Islamists once in prison at Guantanamo Bay, freed in exchange for a former army deserter, by Biden and Obama.

In 2015, during his announcement speech, then candidate Trump predicted that this Bergdahl-Taliban swap, he predicted it would end in a disaster. Just like years earlier, he predicted Osama bin Laden is a bad guy, that wasn't going to end well.

Take a look.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DONALD TRUMP, FORMER PRESIDENT: The people negotiating it don't have a clue. Our president doesn't have a clue. He's a bad negotiator. He's the one that did Bergdahl. We get Bergdahl -- they get five killer terrorists that everybody wanted over there.

We get Bergdahl. We get a traitor. We get a no-good traitor and they get the five people that they wanted for years, and those people are now back on the battlefield trying to kill us.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: Now, Donald Trump was right. Two years later, Bowe Bergdahl, he pleaded guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.

And now, four out of the five Gitmo detainees who are exchanged for Bergdahl, they are in leadership positions now atop the new Taliban government which by the way will swear themselves in I believe on the 20th anniversary of September 2011.

And as we first reported last night, these terrorists are blocking private chartered flights from extracting our own American citizens and according to Biden's own Secretary of State Tony Blinken, our ability to get those planes in the sky is pretty limited without the control of an airport or boots on the ground. Watch this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BLINKEN: As of now, the Taliban are not permitting the charter flights to depart. They claim that some of the passengers do not have the required documentation. While there are limits to what we can do without personnel on the ground, without an airport with normal security procedures in place, we are working to do everything in our power to support those flights and to get them off the ground.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: And the State Department said that even if those private chartered planes get permission to land in a country, they can't come to the U.S. That's not an option. How is that possible when we have U.S. citizens on board?

But if they get permission, but that permission is predicated on permission from our State Department, the answer will be no. Explain that to me.

Biden said we had all the leverage, where's the leverage, Joe? If only we held on to Bagram or kept forces on the ground or used predator drones to push back the Taliban, we're speeding up the withdrawal until every American was out, every Afghan ally was out, all our military equipment was out -- none of that happened and you had months watching this unfold.

And now, Blinken seems less concerned with Americans left behind. But he's more concerned with the lack -- get this -- the lack of diversity and inclusion in the Taliban's new government. When the Taliban was in power the last time, girls can go to school, women couldn't go to work, they were subjugated to men -- young girls were taken as sex slaves and wives by Taliban fighters. Do we think they changed? I doubt it.

Take a look.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BLINKEN: Yesterday, the Taliban named a new interim government. We're assessing the announcement, but despite professing that a new government would be inclusive, the announced list of names consists exclusively of individuals or members of the Taliban or their close associates and no women. It certainly does not meet the test of inclusivity and it includes people who have very challenging track records.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: A stunning lack of inclusivity from the terrorist organization that we already know enslaves women subjugates women and forces young girls against their will to marry Taliban fighters and they murder musicians and artists and anybody they don't like. Does that make sense? These are terrorists, Mr. Blinken. How stupid are you?

They're whipping women and children with wires at the airport. They're hunting down female Afghan police officers. They're murdering them right in the street. You see the reports. You know the truth. They helped plan the 9/11 terrorist attacks that took out nearly 3,000 Americans, 2997, if my memory serves me correctly.

The Biden administration is worried over the lack of gender diversity in the Taliban's new government. Are you really that ignorant? Sadly, it appears the answer is yes.

A brand new ad from Trump's Save America PAC highlights the insane level of incompetence really just touches the surface. Take a look.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: How did President Biden get this so wrong?

JOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: They clearly have the capacity to sustain the government in place.

DAVID AXELROD, FORMER OBAMA ADVISOR: This has been a disaster.

BIDEN: Te Taliban is not the South -- the North Vietnamese army.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It looks like Saigon 2.0 to me.

BIDEN: The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This tragedy was completely preventable.

AD ANNOUNCER: We told you, Joe Biden was not up to the job. Now, we're seeing the devastating consequences of his incompetence. Biden vacationed while Afghanistan collapsed, American military equipment was plundered, and now, America weeps over the live sacrifice due to Biden's surrender.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: And Joe Biden was still telling us one of the best trained armies in the world, one of the best trained militaries in the world after the Taliban had the Afghan military army in full collapse and had taken over 60 percent of the country. How do you get it that wrong when you know it's wrong? Maybe it has something to do with this steep cognitive decline.

Joe Biden seems to have a hard time speaking, thinking, walking and doing any basic function at this point for himself. So his staff of social justice warriors, they seem to be calling the shots. But don't take my word for it. Just look at this other strange moment from Biden earlier today. Take a look.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BIDEN: Now, I'm supposed to stop and walk out of the room here. I'm going to stop, but with your permission, I'm going to walk into the room because I want to say hello to all of you. Thank you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: And I know we don't call them tornadoes anymore either. It stopped being funny a long time ago. Now, hundreds of Americans are held hostage, 13 brave American heroes are dead because of that guy's incompetence. One gold star mother invited former President Trump to her son's funeral, not Joe Biden. You have all these 9/11 families saying don't come to our memorials on 9/11.

And this mother says that Joe Biden has blood on his hands. In a social media post, she called Biden a weak human being and a traitor. Joe Biden truly is a weak human being in every way -- physically, mentally, morally.

And now, a vast majority of Americans seem to agree. A new Democratic- leaning YouGov/Economist poll has Biden's approval rating now below 40 percent, with an oversampling of Democrats of 10 percent.

Here with reaction, Donald Trump Jr.

Let me start with what would -- what would your dad do?

First thing I say they never would have -- if they moved three steps outside of the borders they agreed to, he would have obliterated them, like the caliphate, Soleimani, like Baghdadi, like the al Qaeda leader in Yemen. That's step one. We never would have gotten here, right?

DONALD TRUMP, JR., TRUMP ORGANIZATION: Sean, the only thing these animals respect and understand is strength and Joe Biden exudes nothing but weakness, Donald Trump exuded strength. So they knew he was not someone to be trifled with. He -- they knew he was not someone to mess with.

Donald Trump also had the brain power to actually negotiate like a real businessman not a bureaucrat politician with no real world experience. He wouldn't have walked away without having conditions met he wouldn't have given them -- I've read $65 billion in U.S. equipment. He wouldn't have allowed that and they wouldn't have even thought to mess with him.

When I watch the secretary of state and these other clowns, we're -- we're really shocked that the Taliban doesn't have an inclusive and diverse cabinet. I mean, what it -- this is a clown show. I mean, my kindergarteners would have known this when they were in kindergarten. It is so absurd that this is the stuff that they're pushing, you know?

And I guess it explains it because it's the only thing that matters, is checking off a lot of boxes. They spent a lot of time bragging about having the most diverse cabinet in the history of America. Look, what it's gotten us because they're actually not hiring competent people. They're checking off boxes arbitrarily and they're putting in clowns that have no business having American lives -- the American economy in the palm of their hands because you see exactly what they're doing it. They're destroying it all.

The one place I have to be surprised about is Joe Biden is over-performing. I thought it would take him years to destroy America, Sean, and he's been able to do it in a mere few months. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Every day, the clown show gets worse and worse. You're seeing now the State Department confirming -- well, we're not really letting flights of American citizens get out of there because they want to make the world's largest airlift where they took out a lot of Afghanis, a lot of people on suspected terror lists, some convicted rapists out of Afghanistan but they left the citizens of the United States behind. I guess they want to get credit for that so they're not going to allow other people to do the job they should have been doing for the last 25 days because they're incompetent, Sean.

HANNITY: All right. Let me you ask. So, I want to read you something, Don, if I can because this is our State Department. You've heard about all these efforts. We've got Special Op Forces, guys retired, Navy SEALs, guys retired, guys that are watching this that are sick and tired of watching America retreat and surrender and leaving Americans behind enemy lines, they're risking their lives. Others are putting in a lot of money to charter really expensive planes and they're sitting on a tarmac for six, seven days in some cases.

And a State Department memo goes out on September 1st, no independent charters are allowed to land at a specific air base. The military air base you mentioned in your communication with Samantha Power. In fact, no charters are allowed to land at any Department of Defense base, and most, if not all, countries in the Middle Eastern region with the exception of perhaps Saudi Arabia will allow charters to land. Then it says, you need to find another destination country. It can't be the United States.

And then it says -- from our State Department -- it may require official approval from the State Department before accepting a private charter flight which will not -- which the department, our State Department will not provide that approval. So we got Americans in chartered planes, Don Jr., in chartered planes ready to take off --

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: -- a country willing to accept them, and they're saying we won't let you come to the U.S. and we won't give you approval to go to the country that will accept you.

Are you kidding me?

TRUMP JR.: It's disgusting. American citizens are doing the job that the Biden administration should have been doing from day one, but they see the lack of leadership. They see the incompetence.

It's literally like the most Biden thing ever. It's like you spoke about earlier in your monologue, with Bowe Bergdahl. Let's trade for terrorists for a deserter, for a traitor. That's like the most Obama-Biden-Democrat trade ever. This is the next iteration of that.

It's the continuation of Joe Biden's America last policy.

HANNITY: All right. Donald Trump, Jr., thank you. Appreciate you being with us.

Tonight, while the Biden administration complains about the lack of inclusion in the new the Taliban's new government, we're getting a picture of what life will be like under the Taliban rule, where Sharia law rules supreme. Now, Afghan women will soon be banned from playing sports, holding most jobs. Their travel will also be restricted. Most music is also going to be banned.

Comedy is banned, and all women will be forced to adhere to a strict dress code and moral code. The punishment for breaking any of these barbaric rules is death.

Here with more, the host of FOX Nation, Lara Logan, along with the Medal of Honor recipient, FOX News contributor, Dakota Meyer is with us.

Dakota, I want to ask you -- my understanding is that our intelligence was able to track the terrorist attack that killed 13 Americans and injured 200 more and killed you know over 100 more.

And they had -- they ran up the chain. They tracked them, they knew what was happening, the intel was exactly right, and that they had the ability to take this guy out.

Now, Jennifer Griffin says the Pentagon denies this report, and they didn't take out the suicide bomber. You've been looking into it. I heard you this morning talking about it.

What's the latest on it? Is the Department of Defense telling us the truth or are they lying?

Yeah, I mean -- look, Sean, I mean, are we going to trust the Department of Defense? Are we going to actually trust the people who are part of the Biden administration that continue to lie to us? No.

I mean, look, we are talking to the people on the ground, we have confirmed with three different sources that were involved in this that sent it up, they had intel reporting that there was going to be an attack. They found this person. They actually had drone locked on this person. They sent it up and requested to take the shot and the response was back no for the reason being that they were negotiating with the Talib -- in negotiations with the Taliban.

Now, this is coming directly from sources who were on the ground, the sources who were actually involved in this incident. So, I mean, of course, do you expect the government to go ahead and take accountability? Because that's what it would happen if they actually admitted to this.

HANNITY: All right. Let me go to you, Laura Logan.

We know what life was like for women under the Taliban before. We see these reports. We know what they're saying that they're going to do. I guess the obvious question is, why would anyone expect anything different?

And the idea that Tony Blinken is so out of touch with who the Taliban really is and they force young girls into sex slavery and marriage and subjugate women in ways where they can't go to school or work, and the fact that they don't know that and the fact that he's saying -- well, we're concerned about the lack of inclusivity with the new government of the Taliban, how dumb are these people not to know the Taliban for who they are?

LARA LOGAN, FOX NATION HOST: It's not stupidity, Sean. They know exactly who the Taliban are. They're counting on the fact that American people don't know who the Taliban are, to sell you a pack of lies.

And this didn't start with Tony Blinken. This started with the Obama administration. You can go all the way back to right after Obama was elected. This was the message from the very, very beginning, that there's good Taliban and bad Taliban.

They packed the administration with Taliban apologists and they have just ignored all the evidence. The Taliban has had control over limited parts of Afghanistan and their rule in those areas for the last few years has been identical to what you're seeing now. So, it's not just a question of they didn't know, they had all the evidence.

I've received today footage of young women at protests which I think are in Kabul. I'm going to be releasing that when I have been able to vet it to know for sure. But there's gunfire breaks out. These women are screaming and terrified. I have another photograph from "Reuters" of a Taliban fighter pointing an M-16, an American-made rifle, probably courtesy of the U.S. military, at a woman and then another picture of her body.

And I'm trying to vet and confirm that. But there's women protesting all over Afghanistan now who are being shot at. There is -- there's been a number of policewomen executed as you mentioned.

And -- the Biden administration has all of the evidence that they need, they had it before. And what they're doing is just lying to you.

And, you know, Sean, you remember "Schindler's List," right? We all know what Schindler's list is.

HANNITY: Right.

LOGAN: Well, I just -- you know, you talked about the special operations vets and the Biden State Department and the Justice Department and the agency are working overtime to threaten and intimidate all of those vets. They're using every lever of their power to shut down those rescue operations to drag them out. And they're now encouraging people to go to Kabul. That's the message that's going out on these networks.

And I'm on a lot of these ops rooms. I am one of the people that is trying to help rescue Afghans, and I'm telling everybody that before they slap some phony kind of charges on everybody and try and imprison people for trying to rescue people, the same way that they've got people in prison for going to the Capitol on January 6, right?

And I want to tell you what they've actually been doing. They have ceded control to the Taliban and they have sent out to their active duty forces, to let them know that all of those manifests will be vetted by Suraj Haqqani. This man has a $5 million bounty on his head. He's one of the most wanted terrorists in the world. That's by the U.S., right? The U.S. designated him a terrorist.

There are Americans who died and have been wounded going after Suraj Haqqani and the Haqqani Network. There are tens of thousands of Afghans who have been killed by Suraj Haqqani.

And now, he's in charge of security. He's the man that they went to before the U.S., you know, forces were bombed at that airport. He's the guy that they turn to for help, a known terrorist.

This is who the American people are being told is going to be our counterterrorism partner. This is the cabinet that where Tony Blinken says there's some people there with you know questionable kind of issues, right in their past. Excuse me? You're a designated terrorist by the United States government and this administration has been breaking the law over and over again.

They're now going to take humanitarian aid which is your tax dollars, the tax dollars of soldiers' families who've died on that battlefield and the families of 9/11, and they're going to try to pass it to the Taliban. You know why, Sean? Because we were sending a pallet of cash every week to the Afghan government and the Taliban can't function without it. They want that money, right?

And the Biden administration wants to give it to them, but they're looking for a way to get it there. And they've got a little problem here because they were going to make recognition of the Taliban government, they were going to make that conditional based on their actions, right?

But look at their actions. They're going house to house executing people, right? There's a genocide or potential genocide in the making in the Panjshir Valley. The people we were fighting with a few weeks ago, our allies, are being slaughtered by the Pakistanis and the U.S. is doing nothing.

Someone in Congress needs to ask, what are we doing about Pakistan? Why are we not sanctioning and stopping Pakistan? Do we believe in governing by fear and terror or do we believe in democracy and freedom?

HANNITY: Great report. Thank you. Lara Logan, thank you.

When we come back, a new report shedding light on why Biden's staffers are quick to cut his mic off. We'll explain. We'll get reaction, Ric Grenell, Dana Loesch.

We've got a busy night straight ahead. Stay with us.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(NEWSBREAK)

HANNITY: Now, Joe Biden's struggles are so glaring and so undeniable that even his own staff, they're putting him on mute, literally, because according to a new report from "Politico", White House staffers often put the president on silent or don't watch him live at all in an effort to quell their anxiety about what he might say or might do.

Of course, this report already tells us what we know and that is that Biden's presidency is imploding and it's also why Biden is told don't take questions altogether because he's weak, he's frail, he's a cognitive mess, and frankly, deteriorating daily.

And common sense Americans, the world, they've all taken notice. Listen to the welcome that Joe Biden got yesterday in New Jersey that the media tended to ignore.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: For this guy to pull this? To leave them in ruins and leave Americans behind! Leave Americans behind!

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's crazy.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He will leave you behind! You guys, protecting him. You guys behind.

BIDEN: That's crazy.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Leave no American behind!

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Ronald Wildrick buried n Arlington. 2011, December 11. For what? He lost his life for what?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: And meanwhile, Biden's failures abroad continue to embolden America's enemies and adversaries because get this, according to a new report, "U.S. News & World Report", China is now weighing new ways to embarrass the Biden administration, including occupying the bought, paid for, built, abandoned U.S. Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. Just like we've been telling you, Biden not only surrendered to the Taliban, not only emboldened terrorists, but created a power vacuum that will be filled by the likes of Russia, China, Iran, all hostile regimes.

And we are now weaker and the world worries because of Joe Biden's self- inflicted and preventable disaster.

Here with reaction, former acting director of National Intelligence, Ric Grenell, along with radio host Dana Loesch.

Good to see you both.

Ric, let me -- let me start with you from the standpoint -- I will tell you, every single -- every single military person I know, and I know a lot of them, they are apoplectic. And those that were severely injured and those that have family members that were lost, they are apoplectic. And the most shocking thing is they can't believe we left Americans behind enemy lines with the Taliban, you know, holding them hostage and living at their whim.

RIC GRENELL, FORMER ACTING DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: They should be furious and, you know who else is really upset? Our State Department employees, they were left behind, intelligence officers.

Look, Sean, I think what's clear is that the Biden doctrine is leave 10 percent behind. And it's atrocious. It's embarrassing. I can tell you that career intelligence officials, career State Department officials are horrified. They don't know what's next. They don't know if they're going to be left.

And now, what we hear is excuses from the White House that somehow these people didn't want to get out of Afghanistan? I mean, come on. This is really bad.

HANNITY: Let me get your position, Dana. You also talk to a lot of people in the military. You're well-connected. You know about efforts that we will one day be able to tell the American people is going on right now to save American lives behind enemy lines, with no help from the State Department.

But the reality is, this is what they did. They own this, and it was all preventable.

DANA LOESCH, NATIONALLY SYNDICATED RADIO HOST OF "THE DANA SHOW": Now, I think you're exactly right, Sean. And I'm also really confused about Blinken's statements from earlier today where he said that, oh, no, it's the Taliban that's preventing these planes from taking off. And then there was concerns that -- well, we don't know where we're going to bring these people, the ones that were actually able to get to the airport.

His statement made no sense considering the fact that all of these planes have been diverted to third-party neutral countries, whether it's Albania, whether it's Qatar, et cetera, where these people's documentation can be gone over to make sure that they're not a threat to the United States before they're actually brought into the United States. So once again we have the federal government that's not making any sense and it's not being straight with the American people.

And, Sean, this is why furthermore you know why people are muting Joe Biden, Joe Biden can't talk about any of this. It's a walking cringe fest. Everybody's going to be paying attention coming up here at midterm elections. Barack Obama said in 2010 after midterm elections that it was that Democrats were delivered a shellacking.

I mean, this might be too far of reach for this reference, but it's going to be a waffle house level beat down coming up at these midterm elections because of everything this administration has done, particularly as it relates to the fubar disaster that's in Afghanistan.

HANNITY: All right. Thank you, Dana. Thank you, Ric Grenell.

When we come back, a man who was freed by a bail fund promoted by Kamala Harris has now been charged with murder. Great job.

Also today, Larry Elder in his campaign, yeah, had eggs thrown at them and hostility broke out just while walking through Los Angeles. We've got the tape. Leo 2.0 Terrell, Craig Jarrett, they react. That's straight ahead.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HANNITY: Now, the deadly consequences of the Democrats' defund, dismantled the police agenda is on full display tonight because, get this, remember last summer, Kamala Harris promoting the Minnesota bail fund to bail out rioters amid violent unrest.

Well, a Minnesota man who is freed by that Harris-supported far left radical bail group is now being charged with murder. Forty-seven-year-old George Howard (ph) reportedly became involved in a road rage incident late last month in Minneapolis and allegedly shot dead a fellow driver. He's been charged with two counts of second degree murder.

Ask yourself, where is the outrage from Democrats for the crime crisis their agenda is enabling all across the country? You know, defund, dismantle, no bail laws. What about violence against police officers and other innocent Americans? Because earlier today in Los Angeles, look at, for example, Larry Elder, he's out campaigning, attacked by a bunch of egg- throwing radical leftist agitators, and a fight nearly breaks out. Take a look.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: Here with more reaction, FOX News contributor Leo 2.0 Terrell, along with FOX News legal analyst Greg Jarrett.

You know, Leo, let me start with you. When January 6 happened, we all condemned it, all three of us. That can't happen in our country. We got to protect our institutions, our elected officials, not about political disagreement. Got to protect them.

But we also had a summer of rioting that was completely ignored by Democrats. We had police precincts burned to the ground. Nearly 3,000 officers injured, pelted with rocks and bricks and frozen water bottles, a couple of dozen people injured, 3,000 cops hurt. Where's that commission? Hundreds of riots around the country?

LEO TERRELL, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: You won't see that commission, Sean, because that commission would basically indict the Democratic Party. That's leftist chaos what you just saw. And that tape of Larry Elder, which you just showed that we just showed to the viewers, first time I've seen it. It's disgusting.

Kamala Harris funded a Minnesota freedom fund where the rioters burned down a police department. There has been no -- no action whatsoever for the summer of riots, summer of criminals, summer of misconduct. The Democrats will ignore that, because that's their base. That is your Democratic base.

And what you just saw with Larry Elder is the Democratic fear that you have people of color leaving the Democratic Party. Larry Elder, a black Republican, telling other people of color to go to the right side, to the Republican side. And they don't want it because if you take the black and the brown vote away from the Democratic Party, you don't have a Democratic Party at all. And that's what they fear.

That's what's happening in Los Angeles. And what you saw with Kamala Harris, in my opinion, a benefit for Larry Elder to campaign because she is a total disaster.

HANNITY: All right. You know, let me ask you, Gregg Jarrett, I don't like to see violence anywhere. We saw what happened last summer. Joe Biden never even mentioned it at his DNC convention speech.

The reality is all these people were murdered. Police precincts burned to the ground. I had the interview with Horace Lorenzo Anderson Sr. lost his son, namesake, Junior, and you know, in the CHOP, CHAZ, summer of love autonomous zone. Nobody -- nobody says a word, and they continue deep with this defunding, dismantle and no bail law agenda.

And I would argue that Kamala Harris aids -- is aiding and abetting, and those funding the police are aiding and abetting a lot of the crime we see in big cities all across the country. Where's that commission?

GREGG JARRETT, FOX NEWS LEGAL ANALYST: Well, one can argue, Sean, that but for Kamala Harris, Louis Ortiz would be alive today. She didn't pull the trigger, but she championed the bail fund that set the man free who did pull the trigger. I wonder what Kamala Harris would say to Mr. Ortiz's grief-stricken, heartbroken family members, but she refuses to talk about it, a trick she learned from Joe Biden.

But this is Kamala Harris's idea of being woke. Let's help the accused criminals, let's victimize innocent individuals. This accused murderer that her fund helped set free put back on the streets was already behind bars for domestic abuse, one of seven different men accused of beating women that Kamala Harris helped set free.

And that's not all, this will shock you. Here are some of the other criminals that Harris' fund put back on the streets. A registered sex offender accused of raping an eight-year-old girl, a twice convicted rapist charged with sexual assault and kidnapping, and a defendant charged with stabbing a friend to death for refusing sex.

Now I can just hear Kamala Harris say, well, that $35 million I helped raise for the bail fund, I just wanted that to go to the -- you know, the good protesters in last year's summer of love. Let's remember what they were charged with as you point out, Sean, looting, arson, destruction of property, assault and battery, setting police cars on fire, vandalism of all kinds, so many innocent people were victimized.

But Vice President Harris obviously supports accused criminals over police law breakers over law abiders, and we're all in America worse for it.

HANNITY: Well-said both of you. All right. I appreciate it. Thank you, Gregg Jarrett, Leo 2.0 Terrell.

When we come back, Jimmy Kimmel saying unvaccinated Americans should not have access to ICU beds. Why not? Don't we care about everyone's health? You're going to make everything that political?

Clay Travis, Kayleigh McEnany, they respond as we continue.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HANNITY: Now, the mob and the media tonight, they are continuing to launch disgusting and vicious attacks on Americans who value medical privacy, you know, doctor-patient confidentiality. And as it relates to who has and has not been vaccinated or decided not to get the vaccine for whatever reason. Just listen to Jimmy Kimmel saying that they should be denied hospital beds.

Okay, what is wrong with liberals? How about we take care of the sick when they need help? Take a look.

JIMMY KIMMEL, COMEDIAN: Dr. Fauci said that if hospitals get any more overcrowded, they are going to have to make some tough choices about who gets an ICU bed. That doesn't seem so tough me. Vaccinated person having a heart attack, yes, come right on in. We'll take care of you. Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo, rest in peace, weezy.

HANNITY: All right. How sick, depraved you have to be. What is the litmus test going to be? Oh, if you're an alcoholic, if you're a drug addict, you made choices in life, we're going to apply those standards to everybody, for a personal decisions that they make, good or bad? Whether you agree or disagree? To which that for any fellow American, to actually want them to suffer based on vaccine status that frankly is nobody's business?

And remember, there are some Americans, they can't get the vaccine due to other serious health conditions and a lot of rare conditions are out there. Millions of people have natural immunity. The Cleveland Clinic, their sciences if you have COVID, you don't need any vaccine. That's what they say. I'm following the science.

Now, these are important decisions that can have life-and-death consequences that need to be based on science. Your unique medical history, your current medical condition and consultations with your doctors that you trust and the research that you do, and we should reject one-size-fits-all medicine from people who have no knowledge of medicine.

I've been very open with this audience. Take it seriously, research hard. Make the best decision for you and your family based on your history, based on your current condition and consultation with your doctor or doctors. Yes, I believe in science and I believe in the science of vaccination, and I don't want anybody to die. Anybody, regardless of their political point of view.

The media mob, they're just ramping up their smear tactics by saying stuff like this.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is it time to start prioritizing ICU beds for people who are vaccinated?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And I just think if you don't want to play by any of those rules and all of a sudden you end up in the hospital, I feel bad that you -- but maybe you shouldn't go and take up the resources from someone else.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: But at some point, you know what, you can't work for the federal government if you don't have a vaccine. You can't teach school if you don't have a vaccine. You can't work in hospitals if you don't have the vaccine.

HANNITY: What if you are following the Cleveland Clinic science? What if you have a rare condition like a young woman we interviewed on this program had a rare condition where she got her last vaccine in 2019, she got paralyzed for over a month of her life. Her doctor doesn't recommend it for her?

Now, the good news is, the vast majority of Americans are not unhinged, hysterical agenda-driven, liberal socialist lunatics who support what appears to be at times medical tyranny and one-size-fits-all medicine.

In fact, just look at the medicine college football fans sent to your president, Joe Biden, over the Labor Day weekend. Take a look.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CROWD: (EXPLETIVE DELETED) Joe Biden! (EXPLTIVE DELETED) Joe Biden!

(CHANTING)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: That actually happens at a lot of college football games.

Here with reaction, "Outnumbered" co-host, Kayleigh McEnany, OutKick founder and co-host of "The Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show", Clay Travis.

Clay, we'll start with you.

I love football fans, they are a riot. A kind of goes against, I guess, the social justice messaging that has now taken over a lot of professional sports that I know you talk a lot about.

CLAY TRAVIS, OUTKICK FOUNDER: Sean, I was so excited. I did your show Tuesday from the Tennessee Bowling Green game, and then I got to go to Georgia, Clemson. I'm headed to Fayetteville tomorrow for the Texas- Arkansas game.

I really do believe that college football fans are reclaiming normalcy in this country because when there are millions of people unmasked, happy to go sit next to their brothers and sisters in college football fandom, high- fiving, tailgating, having an amazing time and people can all see that happening on television, it makes it impossible to argue that we can't return to our normal life and that is why I'm so excited.

I really do think college football fans to a large extent are leading us out of the wilderness and into a free society. One more time.

COVID is not going away for the rest of our lives. We can't continue to cower in fear. College football fans declared independence last weekend and I hope it keeps rolling this weekend as well.

HANNITY: When you're talking about sports, you're talking about the most unifying event. Everybody there, all races, all -- you know, financial backgrounds. And you have unifying event, shared passion for a sport, shared passion for a team, tailgating, high-fiving strangers. It's fun, they ruined it.

OK. Now, to the COVID question, Kayleigh McEnany. You know, I really worry about these so-called doctors playing doctor on TV and Washington that don't know a whole lot, that have been an awful lot wrong, and they've gotten an lot wrong and even the experts have gotten even more wrong and then we have the Fauci cover up.

The reality is, is that I want people to take it seriously. I've given out my list of things that you've got to do. I would add to that now that we have breakthrough cases, ask your doctor, if you have one, about therapeutics like Regeneron that nobody ever talks about.

KAYLEIGH MCENANY, OUTNUMBERED CO-HOST: Yeah, exactly. The therapeutics that, guess who gave them to us, President Donald J. Trump, monoclonal antibodies, Regeneron, you mentioned it.

President Trump made that possible. I mean, look, he inherited COVID, he got it, it came on his watch and what did he do? OK, Obama left the coverage there, I'm going to get PPE. OK, we don't have working therapeutics, I'm going to identify four. Okay, we don't have a vaccine, wait, I will do that in record time overseeing Operation Warp Speed.

President Biden takes over, thinks he has COVID under control, completely squanders the whole situation and delta variant comes, and his poll numbers are squandering with it. And I can tell you, Sean, why I think we are in such a bad spot right now, because of the Orwellian, dictatorial tactics and edicts of the left.

When Bill de Blasio goes out there and says, it's time to shake people, the voluntary phases over with the vaccine, I'm going to mandate vaccine cards to go in restaurants in New York City, what do you think happens? You think that increases hesitancy among those who already don't trust the government? I think so.

They are responsible for what is happening in the country right now. It's interesting to see Joe Biden slipping in the polls from the 50s to the 60s and not just that, you got Afghanistan, the economy, the border, he is just simply plummeting.

HANNITY: Thank you both. We'll have more HANNITY after this.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

HANNITY: All right. Unfortunately, that is all the time we have left this evening. Please set your DVR and never miss an episode, 9:00 Eastern, 6:00 Pacific.

In the meantime, pray for Americans caught behind enemy lines. May they all get home safely. The allies that risk their lives to help us, that they find safety as well.

But in the meantime, let not your hearts be troubled. Laura Ingraham is up next. We'll see you tomorrow night.
