Sean Hannity: "Live Free or Die"
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Well, everybody, this is Sean Hannity, and he has the national bestseller out right now, which is up at DennisPrager.com.
And it's called Live Free or Die.
And, you know, and the subtitle, America and the World on the Brink.
You are so right.
It is so important to make this point.
How many kids today do you think can, quote, give me liberty or give me death?
Patrick Henry, probably none.
Probably none.
I mean, how many can quote Thomas Paine, the great pamphleteer, 1776?
And this fits in with all PragerU stuff, which, by the way, that is a service to the country, what you provide.
Thank you.
A full education for people that want to grow and learn and push and understand.
You know, we forget.
I spent a whole chapter in the book on this about we're forgetting right now what brought us to where we are.
But kids don't know that.
And, you know, I have a lot to say about education if you want to get into it at some point.
Yeah, I'd love to.
We're at a tipping point, Dennis.
But with fear, there also comes hope and opportunity.
If the American people in 92 days go all in.
And reject the socialism of Bolshevik Bernie that Joe Biden has adopted, the new Green Deal madness of AOC that Joe Biden has adopted and pledging trillions and trillions of dollars for.
By the way, I have a helicopter flying over the head.
If we reject what Schumer, Pelosi, Bezo, I call him Bozo O'Rourke are offering the country, guess what?
There's no telling how great we can be.
We'll continue energy independence.
We'll continue being the number one producer of energy in the world.
We will be the place that needs a wall because so many people in the world want to come in here, and we'll vet them, and we can vet them for health reasons, make sure they don't have radical associations, and if they, you know, then welcome them to the country if they get in, and they can be a part of our family wherever they come from.
And we can have tax cuts and we can end all of this ridiculous burdensome bureaucracy that has stifled, put a stranglehold on business.
You know, the Obama-Biden record of eight years has been atrocious.
Nobody in the media mob talks about it.
You talk about it.
I talk about it.
There's a couple of us, all of us, frankly, in talk radio that are successful.
We always talk about it.
Not everybody on Fox, but we have a number of people on Fox that, you know, talk about it.
But I'm going to tell you, this is the greatest opportunity, and I've been thinking about this because I was worried a little bit this weekend, and I flipped it in my brain because I was worried about, well, what if, what if, what if?
And I'm like, no, no, how about what if we win?
What if the mob and the media, Dennis Prager, has to choke on the words?
We can now project that Donald J. Trump has been re-elected the 45th president of the United States of America.
By the way, that alone is worth the price of admission.
But it also protects the country from what we know to be, and we can predict with pinpoint accuracy to be, certain economic demise.
I don't think if those policies, as stated by Joe and Bolshevik Bernie and AOC, Pelosi, Schumer, and Bozo, if they're implemented, everything that we know that has made this country great disappears with it.
This is a fight worth having, a debate worth having, and it's even sweeter if we end up winning the debate.
Yep.
So...
I agree with you.
I'm silent because you're saying in your inimitable way what I have been saying.
And your subtitle is accurate in two ways.
America and the world on the brink.
The left, which is supposedly so concerned about the world and their world citizens before their American citizens.
You may recall Superman gave up his American citizenship to become a world citizen.
This is how they think.
Yet they don't give a damn about the world.
Because if America fails, then there is cruelty all over the world.
We have kept cruelty at a minimum.
Because we protect liberty.
One more point.
When the Hong Kong guys...
Revolted against China.
They did not display a Hong Kong flag or a Taiwan flag or any flag but the United States flag.
You know, I'm listening closely because everything you always say is smart.
And by the way, I have not seen you in a long time.
I'd love to come out.
I loved when you would come into New York City and you'd come in the studio with us.
We'll do it again.
And I got to meet your whole family.
Yes.
And you remember my mother adored you.
She couldn't believe that I actually met you.
You know, to hell with my success.
Her standards were low, Dennis.
We should have raised her standards.
No.
The joke was, this is a classic mother.
You know, Dennis is Dennis, but he met Sean Hannity.
Oh, my gosh.
All right.
If I even believed half of that was true.
No, no, it was true.
With my mother, it was true.
Well, you have a wonderful family.
Thank you.
And, you know, that's what we're fighting for.
You know, you said something that I want to say it.
I'm going to, I quote, I almost do it in every interview, so bear with me.
I know it's repetitive, but it's so profound to me.
And this fits in with all things PragerU.
And that is Barry Farber, who recently passed away, who I know you knew, we all knew, one of the greatest pioneers in talk radio.
He spoke 37, 40 languages.
He was nice to me when I was in my 20s and just beginning my radio journey, which, if you can believe it, is now 33 years.
And he always said that there's never been a country in the history of mankind that has accumulated more power.
and abused it less.
That's right.
And what I add to that is there's never been a country in the history of mankind that has ever accumulated more power, abused it less, and used that power to advance the entire human condition.
And by that, I mean worldwide.
Yes.
And then you have to then raise the question, well, what made America so different?
You talk about the world on the brink.
Okay, I'll tell you what's at stake.
What's at stake is are we going to elect a guy that brags about dumping $150 billion in cash and other currency on the tarmac of mullahs in Iran that chant death to America?
Because the alternative is the America that did keep the world safe.
You are a thousand percent correct.
That beat back the forces of fascism and Nazism and imperial Japan and communism and more recently, you know, leading the world effort to defeat radical Islamism.
Without America, the rest of the world, frankly, is going to go down the sewer.
That's correct.
That's how pivotal it is.
All right, hold it there, Sean.
Hold on one second.
You know about breaks, thank God.
So hold on.
I don't want to tell everybody again about your book.
That's critical.
Live Free or Die.
He gets it.
