I pledge you with us happy Friday. This is interesting. Somebody just sent this to me bed bath beyond stock is collapse a whopping 36%

after they canceled my pillow.

Yes, conservatives have buying power.

89941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, glad you're with us. A lot of ground to cover on the show today.

You know, I want to start with this. We have spent an awful lot of time on this program over the years explaining why we end up being right and so many in the mob, the media end up being wrong.

I told the story more than a few times about my experience when I was a local host in Atlanta, Georgia.

It happened to be the year that I moved up to New York to start the first day Fox News went on the air and it was after the summer Olympics.

If you remember in 1996, I'm often reminded because in my office, a year end edition of the Atlanta Journal Constitution says 1996 was a great year.

The Olympics came and Sean Hannity left. It's always nice to be honored by the city in such a way when I when I arrived four years earlier, then mayor actually became very friendly with these since passed away.

Maynard Jackson, he welcomed me to his city, which I thought was pretty cool. Anyway, so it's, it's just interesting to me that the experience I learned is I'm on the air and all of a sudden fits the profile of the lone bomber.

You haven't seen Clint Eastwood's movie. It's worth watching. And because in this was the guy we all thought was a hero and save lives, which ultimately it turns out he did do.

And that but the media rushed to judgment and they said, well, because he lives with his mother, he fits the profile of the lone bomber and they turned this guy's life into just a living hell. I look, I'm convinced he probably the stress of it all, you know, probably have killed him. He died at a young man.

And he was 44, just a tragedy and it turned out he was a hero, just a sad story all the way around. But I was on the air when it broke and I'm like, okay, so what he lives with his mother.

And I'm just that that's a meaty domestic terrorist and everybody racing and just I mean it was an onslaught for this guy and family in the mob, you know, camped out in front of his home.

You know, no due process, no presumption of innocence, not even not even a glimmer of presumption of innocence. It was just everybody they thought they had wrapped this up and figured this sucker out. They didn't. They were wrong turns out they were wrong.

And you know, over the years that lesson, it really, it's it's served me well to learn it that early in my career because I've applied it in a lot of cases and we end up being right in the mob, the media, they end up being wrong.

And I can give you some high profile examples, you know, the Cambridge police acted stupidly or what happened in Ferguson hands up don't shoot. Remember that there are Darren Wilson lost his job in career, but there were multiple eye witnesses that actually had had testified and confirmed and corroborated office of Darren Wilson story about Michael Brown.

And so the Freddie Gray case that was in Baltimore in a rush to judgment there. Remember saying very early on, it is not going to work out the way everybody thinks with the convictions everybody assumed was coming based on what rush to judgment, no due process people were saying publicly, it's irresponsible.

And then they raised people's expectations of a certain outcome and when it doesn't happen, they can have the systems corrupt when in reality, it never was going to happen. They weren't being straight. And they just ran with what they thought was their good narrative, often sadly for political considerations.

My sources on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri telling me that there were eyewitnesses on the record, not public yet. Remember sources, I don't reveal my sources. I'm a member of the media, member of the press.

And that helps me get a story that nobody else is getting the same thing in Ferguson, Missouri, I had law enforcement context that this is not what they're saying it is.

And it gave me and I go my own way. That's what I mean when I say I'm independent. We go our own way. We do it in our own time. We did the same more recently with the election. I followed the things that I thought, you know, really need to be discovered.
