HANNITY: The President wasn't wrong about disinfectant. Tonight on Hannity, what the left wing media doesn't want you to know about President Trump's heroic Operation Soap and Sun. Joining me are Dr. Oz, Dr. Dr. Seb Gorka, and the MyPillow Guy.



LOU DOBBS: I remember a time in this country when it was standard practice for mothers in America to suggest a bar of soap to the mouth as a method of cleansing. America has forgotten it's tried and true remedies. Well we haven't forgotten Mr. President. I say, give em soap!



LAURA INGRAHAM: Was thinking about this today while making hydroxychloroquine snacks for my kids, who are the Dems to say lysol and UV rays won't cure Coronavirus. Seen any scientific report backing up their claims? Heard experts say he's wrong? Keep saving us Mr. President.



STEVE DOOCY: Trump wasn't saying people should drink Lysol.
AINSLEY EARHARDT: No he clearly suggested injecting disinfectant.
BRIAN KILMEADE: The guy is saying, hey, we got nothing to lose here. What's the worst thing that can happen? Your internal organs smell lemony fresh?



JUDGE JEANINE PIRRO: I find it very rich that the liberal Trump haters don't want to protect Americans by listening to our President, who is more creative than any of the so called experts. I put lysol in my work flask today and I am feeling much better. Thank you Mr. President.



GERALDO RIVERA: I know Donald. He'd never suggest something that he himself wouldn't give to some of his wives and some of his kids. I think we ought to give him a chance. Everyone's so quick to ridicule. Look what he's done for criminal justice. Maybe the guy is on to something.



TUCKER CARLSON: Apparently there are 2 Americas. There is the America sitting in ivory towers telling you what will or won't work to cure this virus. Have they been right? And there is you, good honest hard working Americans waiting for someone to clean this mess. Lysol cleans.



PETE HEGSETH: As many of you know, I have said it here, I don't wash my hands. Listen, Trump has been right about everything so far. Everything. I'm gonna start with the soap. And sunlight? I bet Nancy Pelosi is just afraid the sunlight will melt all her ice cream.

2. That was funny af but actually they

ARE SAYING NOTHING ABOUT THIS.

I tuned in this morning just to see and they are just ignoring trump said that. Probably waiting for some statement bullshit from the Whitehouse.

5. They will probably continue to say nothing

...and hope it goes away. This is their standard m.o. I got in a “discussion” with a rwinger who had never even heard the various misstatements from tRump in Feb/March. All he could sputter was “he never CALLED it a hoax!”. When I showed him the pattern of minimizing and lying about the coming pandemic he suddenly saw “this is their new hoax...” in a different light. The fact that he never saw any of that info before on Faux News spoke volumes.

Of course, he was texting me headline “screen shots” from major news sites that had also downplayed the crisis at the time* within the hour. Sigh. I tried.

(*many of these news stories “proving” the media had gotten it wrong we’re actually quoting from the CDC and other sources who were lying to them)

3. Trump's advisors should not be humoring him, they should be calling 25A Men in White Suits

This was a colossal waste of time, money, political capital to suit dementia that has reached the point of early childhood.

There is a point where children, like age 3 or 4, are not entirely logical. They don't know about gravity, that water doesn't run up hill, or that you can't catch birds with a straw.

Trump is there. Not only is he having discussions with his supplicant advisors about sheer fantasies, he doesn't realize the political damage of these discussions when aired publicly.

Trump thought telling the world about disinfectant injections was a good idea. It's 25A time.

7. Trump's advisors should know better by now.

They should not even be telling him about research or anything else because they know he will make outrageous claims about one ”cure” or another. All they should be sharing with him now is that is no cure because there is no treatment, and there is no way to medically prevent transmission because there is no vaccine. Advisors should report only those two things to him every day.

4. Hopefully, after the show they all mainline Lysol. n/t.

6. What about nukes??

We have pocket nukes, now. What if we were able to make them even smaller, and then people could just take a pill. Kaboom! Virus gone. I mean, what do they have to lose.
