Hannity: “They had to fact-check her and said, ‘No, she never said it.’ This is what she really said.”

[Clip starts]
UNKNOWN: “Will you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking you first day in office, adding the United States to the list of countries who have banned this devastating practice?”
Harris: “There’s no question that I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
(Applause)
(...)
BURNETT: “So would you ban off-shore drilling?”
Harris: “Yes. And I’ve, again, worked on that. (Laughs)”
[Clip ends]

Hannity: “Now correct me if I’m wrong, you’re a better businessman than I am, but isn’t energy, fracking, oil, the lifeblood of the world’s economy?”
(Cheering and Applause)
Trump: “So, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania cannot even take a chance, because that’s the real opinion from her. No, the whole country would go down the tubes if you didn’t do the fossil fuel thing, it just would go. And you could do all sorts of other things. But Germany tried it and it lasted for about nine months and they were going to go down the tubes entirely, and somebody else came in and — hate to say it, but they’re building a coal plant every single week, every week, and they’re building nuclear, they’re doing a lot of things. It’s never worked, it never will work. But Pennsylvania can’t take the chance. That answer is true. But she’s been there for 20 years, that’s what she’s been saying for a long time. She will do that. There is no chance that she will allow — the election will take place. If she won, you’re not going to have any fracking in Pennsylvania. You have 500,000 jobs, think of that, that’s your biggest business, and you get a big majority of your income from fracking. And you have somebody that’s not going to allow fracking, she’s not going to allow it, you can’t take the chance. You have no choice. You’ve gotta vote for me, I have — you’ve gotta vote for me.
(Cheering and Applause)
You have to, even if you don’t like me, you know? Even if you don’t like me. You can sit there and say, ‘I can’t stand that guy, but there’s no way I’m gonna vote for her.’ No, you have to have fracking. You know, you’re the biggest in the country for this. You have two of the biggest sites in the world, it’s a massive business for Pennsylvania, and you can’t take a chance. She will not allow fracking — and she’s got a lot of other problems, too, but for your particular — for the Commonwealth, you have no choice.”
Hannity: “Mr. President, if I may, 60 minutes and 30 seconds are up. Thank you for being with us.”
Trump: “Thank you.”
(Cheering and Applause)
Hannity: “The president has spoken for a total of 60 minutes and 30 seconds.”
Trump: “I’ll say it — I’ll say something else, though.”
Hannity: “Real quick, because we’ve got to take a break.”
