Okay, winter is on the way, and if you listen to this show, you know there's only one product that I absolutely rely on when I get a sore throat or a scratchy throat, and that's the delicious Pine Brothers Softish throat drops.
Now it's the only throat drop that is ranked number one in throat coating action, number one.
And I mean you can literally feel it, that coating of your throat with their gum acacia, their plant glycerin, and of course the delicious natural flavors.
Now they're amazing.
My favorite is wild cherry and licorice.
I also love the honey and licorice.
Now I've heard a lot of people onto Pine Brothers.
You want to know the first three things that come out of their mouth?
One, they're delicious.
I can feel them coat my throat, and wow, they're soft, almost like a gummy bear.
Yeah, I know they're soft.
That's why they're called Pine Brothers Softish throat drops.
Now work with me, people.
So this season, look, you're gonna have some throat issues, and do what I do to soothe my golden throat.
I use Pine Brothers throat drops.
You will love this product.
It's worth every penny.
You can find Pine Brothers at CBS, Select Walmart, Target, Shop Right.
Why?
Because they are the best.
Let not your heart be troubled.
You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show Podcast.
All right, glad you're with us.
One week ago today was election day.
What a difference a week can make in the lives of every American, the forgotten man election.
And what a difference it makes in terms of how you might feel about the future.
Now, if you're on the liberal side of the ledger, well, you know that this is happening now all around the country.
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Because it's it's so self-indulgent and so over the top crazy that you gotta wonder, come on, this isn't real.
You know, it's it's but it is real.
You know, so I told you the story.
I actually read the the one elite New York public school or private school where the coddled generation have never been taught to grow up, and where everyone gets a trophy and and nobody feels bad if they actually lose a match.
I mean, it's such insanity.
Well, this is now happening on college campuses, and you're watching the left in America throw a collective tempered tantrum because they didn't get their way in this election.
And what's funny about it is the everyone gets a trophy generation strike striking again.
There was a report out of Portland.
Many of those arrested in the anti-Trump protest, they didn't even bother to vote.
So you got the hysteria, the absolute mania that's taken over.
You should you can't get around New York City anymore.
I used to be annoyed when Obama would come to town.
But they have had to cordon off blocks and blocks and blocks in front and around Trump Tower because of all these loony lefties that are having a collective meltdown.
Now it's gotten so bad that in these elite New York schools and in universities, they're now offering therapy for the children.
Disaster counseling, so that the little college brats and the little elite school brats can get over the trauma that Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton and deal with their depressed liberal parents at home.
And we're told now that they're taking it a step further because apparently the therapy sessions aren't working enough.
So they're actually bringing in pet therapy dogs into schools in New York to pamper little Tommy and little Susie that can't get over the election results.
They're bringing in therapy dogs.
Now, I'm I don't mean a this there's a really serious sign to this.
You know, we don't even help enough vets out with therapy dogs.
You know, our own Lauren here on the program.
She's now on her second therapy dog, although I don't think this one's actually gonna make it.
Treat is yeah, treat as a little too hyper.
She's not, I don't think she's gonna make it, but the good news is you all get to keep treat, and we all love treat.
We're gonna make treat the fam the show dog.
She would be perfect to send into those schools and teach those kids a lesson.
Yeah, she'd dive all over them and knock them all over, and then they'd start crying and probably file a lawsuit against the city because a dog attacked them.
And all the dog wanted was to be petted.
I mean, this is how insane this is.
Michael Brown over at Town Hall had a pretty funny column today, the coddled generation that wasn't taught to grow up.
I don't understand this.
Millions of people coddled their entire lives.
Young people protesting and tempered tantrums and comforted by their professors as they're crying on college campuses in the aftermath of this election.
At Tufts University, Arts and Crafts were an offer to help people after the election.
The University of Kansas reminded students on social media, therapy dogs are available for comfort every other Wednesday.
Arts and crafts to comfort the grieving spoiled brats on college campuses.
If my son or daughter told me they were traumatized over election results, I tell them to grow the hell up and get out of your bubble.
Which by the way, I've said to both my kids over the course of years over whatever the incident has to be.
You know, I I said this on Twitter and people took it the wrong way.
Now, we have 250,000 vets that suffer from PTSD.
Okay, you live in a war zone, and you go tour after tour after tour after tour after tour, and you see your best friend's legs being blown off, or your best friend killed in front of you, or an IED that has somebody blown to smithereens.
I'm not talking about that.
That's real, real trauma.
But the trauma of an election is insanity to me.
You've got to grow the hell up.
How have we raised these kids?
Everybody gets a trophy?
No.
The winner gets a trophy.
I I'm this is mind numbing to me.
This I cannot relate to this on any level with my life, my background, my parents' lives, their background, my grandparents' lives, and their background.
You know, you have my great my my grandparents coming from Ireland, you know, 10, 15 bucks in their pocket.
They had knew maybe a family member, maybe they were stuck in a basement corner to sleep.
Seriously.
There were no therapy dogs available for them when they went out to work 16 hours a day.
You know, and for little to no money, when there was institutional discrimination, Irish Catholic need not apply.
Or that my father that grew up poor in Bed Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, or my mother that grew up in the South Bronx, and how it was a big big deal that my civil servant mother and father got to buy a house, a Cape Cod house on a 50 by 100 lot, and I was traumatized because I had three older sisters and we only had one bathroom.
It did make me want my own bathroom when I finally could afford it, trust me.
But that's a different story.
I wasn't traumatized delivering papers when I was eight.
I wasn't traumatized washing dishes Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night when I was 12, or cooking when I was 13, or bussing tables at 14 and 15 and waiting tables and tending bar at 17.
I wasn't traumatized taking two by tens on my shoulder up three flights of stairs so people could do framing when they did old-fashioned framing and they didn't have the lattices all already built out, etc.
etc.
They didn't uh not the the uh whatever you call them.
You know, we used to the trusses all built out.
You know, we used to actually frame houses all the way in and use real lumber and real wood and as the low guy on the totem pole.
Oh, and it was also my job to put, you know, two bags of shingles on my shoulders and go up a 40-foot ladder and say, here, here's the roofing and do that for a few hours.
Because they didn't have what they have today, which is the machinery that would bring it up for you.
You know, I didn't, when I was on my knees laying tile for 12, 13 hours, I didn't have the luxury of a of a pet to pet because I was going nuts working.
This is collective insanity.
Wake up.
You know, I was not happy if the results of the last two presidential elections.
You know what?
I didn't wake up and say, where's my comfort doggy?
Where's my toy?
Where's my latte?
Where's my Starbucks?
Where's my frappuccinio?
Where is it?
Good grief.
What has happened to the people in this country?
They don't know real suffering.
You know, I get in cabs all the time in New York.
Every time I get in a cab, I talk to a cab driver.
I do.
I did I absolutely.
And everyone tells the same story.
That before they even make a penny for themselves in their 12 hour shift, they've got to pay 200 bucks for the rental of the cab, the rental of the medallion, and the gas and the insurance and whatever else they have to pay.
And then if it's a decent day, they'll make 300 bucks for themselves and they'll go home driving in traffic that is insanity.
They could use comfort dogs.
The vets that sacrificed and did 10 tours can do could use the vet dogs, which by the way, our friends over at the Huntington Country Club.
We support their charity every year.
Lauren's been doing it here on the show.
She keeps she asked, she comes to me one day.
Can I bring in a dog to train for vets?
And Linda, what I said, I said, absolutely.
They deserve it.
We don't give them what they need.
But these spoiled brats at these rich elitist schools can't handle an election result.
Grow the up.
Grow up.
It's unbelievable.
You're so pampered and spoiled, rotten.
You don't know what life is.
You don't understand the sacrifices of every man and woman that ever fought in the military and laid down their life for you to have a meltdown and roll up in a ball because you don't like the election results.
Get over yourself.
Go get a job.
That's another thing.
Where do these protesters work?
Do they do they work at all?
I mean, do any of them work?
Do they have jobs?
What how do you have that much time on your hands to go out and protest like this?
Whoever came up with the idea that losing is a bad thing.
Well, Hannity, what do you mean by that?
I've had plenty of setbacks in my life.
You know what?
We've had plenty of down rating periods in my life.
We've had plenty of losses, but also had some wins.
Now, when I put everything on the line against Obama in 08, I did it because it was the right thing to do.
When I fought for Romney in 2012, I did it because he would have been a much better president than Obama.
And yet I went out on a limb for Donald Trump because I like his agenda.
And now I want him to fulfill his promises.
And that's the only thing I want from Donald Trump.
I don't want a trip to the White House, tickets to the inaugural ball.
I don't give a flying rip about any of that.
I want the people in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the rest of the country to get opportunities to get back to work.
I want our country energy independent.
I want Obamacare thrown out and a decent health care system put in place.
I want the wall built.
I want refugees vetted.
I want educational choice.
I want health savings accounts.
I want lower corporate tax rates so the repatriated money can come back, and I want to get the country safe and secure.
That's not that much to ask, is it?
You know, that's all I'm looking for here.
What is it?
How did we come in in three generations?
How did we go from no money immigrants, poor suffering, very little shot of really achieving the American dream, but they just wanted the freedom to the next generation that gets a little house in my family's case, 50 by 100 lot, to, you know, okay, Hannity's a success.
And my sisters are all successful in their own right.
How did we get there?
We stand on the shoulders of people that really sacrificed.
And if you're in college, I don't care if you're borrowing the money or mommy and daddy are paying for you, which by the way, I just hope you appreciate that they can if they do, or if you're in an elite New York school, you know, get over yourself.
Read and learn something about the lives of real people.
Learn about auto workers that lost their jobs in Flint, Michigan.
Learn about the great city of Detroit that has been decimated because of liberalism.
Learn about the hard work construction workers do, the hard work that nurses do, the hard work of the people that make this country great and get over yourself.
And stop asking for therapy dogs and therapy over an election.
Unless you were diagnosed with cancer today, or you're somebody in your family has been, or somebody's dying that you love, or some accident happens, you're pretty darn lucky that you're breathing and you live in the greatest country God gave man.
Get over yourself.
I cannot stand little baby temper tantrums.
This is going to be a joke.
I do not believe this is happening.
I'm literally about to f***ing kill myself, and I'm not kidding.
You better f***ing fix this s*** right.
Right now.
I literally am gonna die.
I need an ambulance.
I need an ambulance.
Maybe I need the therapy dog.
Listening to that.
You know what?
You think you got a tough?
I want you to think of the people that I met at Bethesda and the people that I met at Walter Reed over the years.
Guys that had their legs blown off.
Guess what?
Their legs are still gone.
They never got them back.
And most of them don't have therapy dogs or counseling because our VA sucks.
Think about them before you go on the self indulgent, petulant uh little sympathy tour that you're on, the crybaby uh liberal leftist tour.
Good grief.
It's it's just pathetic.
You know, we're now a nation of, oh, I earned a trophy too.
I participated.
No, you know what?
I teach my kids, they're both athletes.
You know what's great about individual sports?
Is because you're gonna lose.
Get over it.
You're gonna have to learn to get over it, or else you're never gonna compete.
You're gonna win.
You need to learn to be a gracious winner.
And the most important thing if you're an athlete is you gotta learn the harder you're willing to work, guess what?
The better you're gonna do.
What a life lesson sports teaches us.
Now, if you give every kid a trophy, even the kids that lost.
Well, the whole meaning of striving and pushing and digging in deep is negated.
It's gone.
All right, I'm done with my little lecture of the day.
I thought you should know one thing.
What's that?
We've gotten several emails from friends of our show.
Yeah.
Like Ellen Karis and Jeff Floyd, who want to make sure you're not gonna have a stroke.
But would like you to know that they fully agree with you.
This is seriously?
We're gonna give therapy dogs to the little brats in their rich private school, the rich brats at their little college campus.
You know what?
You want therapy, go have a Budweiser.
Good luck.
That's what you usually do anyway, probably on a weekend.
We'll have a coarse light.
That's my drink of choice lately, Core's life.
We're a Pine Brothers after a rough monologue.
Yeah, exactly.
Kill myself, and I'm not a kidding.
You better fix this shit right now.
I literally am gonna die.
I need an ambulance.
Donald Trump just last week he confirmed the National Review that he is again considering a run in 2016.
Do it.
Do it.
Look at me.
Do it.
Auto personally wrote you a town titan check now on behalf of this country, which does not want you to be president, but which badly wants you to run.
Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.
Donald Donald Trump is a clown.
I mean, does anybody seriously think that Donald Trump is serious about running for president?
Donald Trump.
You know, he's a clown.
Which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election.
of the declared ones right now donald trump President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States.
Exclamation point at real Donald Trump.
At real Donald Trump.
At least I will go down as a president.
So basically this is the beginning of the end for Trump.
The beginning of the end.
Beginning of the end?
This is probably starting of the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.
Donald, uh, you're not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency.
The strongest person usually isn't the loudest one in the room.
So right now we have Hillary's about 75 or an 80% favorite.
We from first Hillary up by double digits nationally, 12 points, 15 to 38 for Wayne Race.
Clinton leading in Florida.
Clinton leading in North Carolina.
Clinton leading in Ohio.
Clinton leading in Nevada.
I could go on and on and on.
I continue to believe Mr. Trump.
Trump will not be present.
And so, right now, Mr. Trump, to answer your call for political honesty, I just want to say you're not going to be president.
All right.
It's been fun.
It's been great.
I love you.
But come on, come on, buddy.
We have a major projection right now.
Donald Trump will take Ohio.
Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida.
Huge win for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, while we project will win in Kentucky in Indiana with its 11th electoral votes.
West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, North Dakota, with its three electoral votes, and South Dakota, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, the state of Montana, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Utah, Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas with its six electoral votes, Nebraska with its five electoral votes, and Wyoming with its three electoral votes.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Complicated business.
A lot of people have laughed at me over the years.
Now they're not laughing so much.
I cannot believe this is happening.
I'm literally about to kill myself that I'm not kidding.
You better fix this right now.
I literally am gonna die.
I need an air a collective meltdown is happening.
Let me add one other thing here.
Radical alt-left nut job.
New York City council speaker.
Her name is Melissa Vark.
Uh what's her name?
Vivarito?
Vivarito, yeah, has declared, quote, a state of emergency over Donald Trump's victory.
I'm not joking.
For those of you in the rest of the country that may know it not know what it's like in New York City, this is a mental disorder that dominates the political landscape.
The mayor is encouraging anti-Trump uh protesters to keep destroying the city.
And this whack job speaker is now carrying on like Martians have just landed and have invaded New York City.
We have uh we are in a sense a state of emergency.
That's the way I see it.
We have too much at stake.
We need to be so vigilant and determined.
She, of course, uh Clinton surrogate who blasted repeatedly.
You know, uh, my friend Bob Terrell over at the American Spectator, he wrote a piece that basically the night of the election, the real reason Hillary didn't come down and talk is she was losing it.
Absolutely had a meltdown, complete, and I've had it confirmed by other people.
Which wouldn't surprise me, kind of like her base is having a collective meltdown, and they need therapy dogs.
Anyway, de Blasio, the comrade mayor of New York, is urging the anti-Trump protesters outside of Trump Tower, have uh included the public beating by the way of a 74-year-old Trump supporter by a radical activist to keep up the good work.
That's what Comrade de Blasio's telling him, pointing to Trump's recent comments on abortion and appointments and uh whatever.
Mayor Comrade de Blasio urged all Americans to continue to protest the president-elect.
Speaking after days of rolling protest against the uh yet to be sworn in 45th president.
Now it's sprung up all over the country.
Resistance is necessary, especially since Trump is likely to lose the popular vote.
By the way, let me address this.
Donald Trump could have run up the popular vote in seconds.
If he spent a few days in New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and California.
But he played the game, the played, he played the election the way the elections played.
He could have rung up millions or more votes.
That would have been easy for him.
Didn't bother.
Which was smart on his part.
Anyway, the uh you know, one other thing, and this is the best thing about all this.
This is a democratic nightmare.
Because if you think these Trump protests are bad, now wait till he starts issuing and rescinding executive orders.
Especially all that Obama did.
You know what?
All the legislating by fiat executive order that even Obama himself said he didn't have the power to do.
You know, investors' business daily in early 2014, when Obama was frustrated with the Republican controlled Congress, Democrats gave him a standing ovation when he proclaimed, I've got a pen and I've got a phone, and I can use the pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions.
What do you think Donald Trump's gonna do his first couple of hours in office?
By the way, I have a tip for all of you in the liberal media that probably need therapy dogs also, like the poor children at school.
I would bet the first couple of hours of Trump's presidency is gonna be spent with a pen in his hand, rescinding executive orders.
Just a guess.
Not that I have inside knowledge or anything, not that I'm smart.
Um, even though I tended to get this right more than you did, uh saw what was coming when you didn't, just like Obama's disaster.
We saw that too.
But don't worry, we're dumb, stupid talk show hosts.
We don't know anything.
And I kind of like being the underdog.
Don't you like being the underdog?
Don't you like the fact that we are underestimated all the time and they scratch their their heads collectively?
How does this hinty guy keep figuring out what we're too dumb to figure out?
How does he do it about the time?
He was right about Obama when you really admit it Obama's a disaster.
Yeah.
Wasn't that hard to figure out if they would have done their job.
I know it sounds like booingle.
Hey boo boo.
Yogi bear.
Hey boo-boo.
I do that one too.
Um, jeez, little girl, get me a bee oh god.
Who's that?
Archie Bunker.
Oh, oh, I know.
I'll get I'll take you back a few years.
I want to say to Hannity Hannah, you did a good job beating up my poor little pumpkin over here.
It's really unfair what you did to me.
All right, enough with the games.
Um anyway, so his words reinforced for nearly eight years, Obama massively expanded his authority on national security issues, the prosecution of whistleblowers, secret surveillance courts, wars without congressional authorization, drone campaigns without public oversight.
Noted Tim Mack of the Daily Beast during this time uh that is left with the exception of some civil liberty groups, remain largely silent.
Oops, never mind that constitutional scholars believe those executive actions uh represented a constitutional breach.
By the way, all of that, that's done.
That's gone, that's finished.
And I'll give you an example.
A Trump advisor predicts immediate action against the illegal immigrants.
All he has to do, because Obama never bothered to respect co-equal branches of government separation of powers, all he needs to do is rescind his executive order, and guess what?
Executive amnesty's gone with the stroke of a pen.
The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away, so they say.
Oh, Justice Ginsburg now acknowledges Trump will pick Scalia's replacement.
Gee, that's stating the obvious.
Maybe we need to send a pet over to the Supreme Court for a petting hour, therapy hour.
Don't send over treat.
Treat's not up to the test.
You know, you know, the tree will knock an older person down.
That's not good.
Just like he'll knock young children down, just like he tries to knock me down.
It's a girl.
Yeah, just like she tries to knock everybody down.
She acts like a very aggressive male dog.
I don't know why I always call him a he.
She does.
Listen, the dog's not gonna make the dog's not making it, and the dog's not gonna be a therapy dog.
I'm warning you ahead of time.
I I don't want your feelings hurt, but on the upside, Lauren gets to keep the dog.
I'm happy about that.
First of all, she's all lady, and she acts like it.
Uh, when she jumps all over me, that's all lady, dives on me when I walk in the room.
Isn't that what every man wants?
Okay.
Yeah, okay, she dives on me.
What if it's a vet that in a wheelchair, which is what the dog's supposed to be trained for?
She's an underdog, Sean.
She can make it.
No, she's not gonna make it.
I'm preparing you for this dog is gonna fail.
They're gonna say, What have you been doing the last six months?
They're gonna that's what they're gonna say.
Now the dog, I will give I like treat better than the previous dog, because that previous dog was so zen, I couldn't even I'd like to say, all right, stand.
Oh, you gotta make me get up.
All right, give me a second, I'll do it.
They had no life in them.
Um my dogs are like treat.
I love I love dogs that are, let's say, spirited.
So the point of commonality is you.
Yeah, exactly.
It's all about me.
It's all, you know, narcissistic host.
What do you expect?
Come on.
Isn't every host suffer from narcissistic personality disorder?
Yeah, exactly.
Agreed.
Um so, oh, and these more than half the anti-Trump protesters didn't vote in Portland.
I don't know why that makes me laugh.
Here's another com uh article today.
Paul Ryan pledged to make Trump the most successful president of our lifetime.
I look, I don't mean to laugh.
I don't want him to get in Trump's way.
I'm glad he's come around at the last second here.
Right on time.
But if they're gonna make him speaker, I just hope he does his job.
Whatever.
Uh it's gotten so bad, an armed bystander in Florida had a help out a Florida chef uh sheriff's deputy.
Uh that was literally a driver who attacked a Florida shepherd uh chef sheriff's deputy Monday morning was shot and killed by a bystander who warned him to stop beating the officer.
Thank God the officer in this case, they protect us.
There was a guy that could protect him, thank God.
Pelosi's days may be numbered as speaker.
Uh I'm sorry, minority leader.
Did I say speaker?
I didn't mean that.
She'll never be speaker, hopefully again.
Um, by the way, I kind of like what Obama said.
I wanna I want Iowa because the demographics dictated that I not because the demographics dictated I'd win Iowa, translation, a lot of white people.
Uh it was it was because I spent eighty-seven days going to every small town and fair and fish fry and V. W. Hall that was there.
Some countries are where some counties where I might have lost.
Basically saying Hillary is lazy and Hillary couldn't do anything.
Bob Terrell, the American Spectator, is a great guy.
Losing it on election night.
In the early wee hours of Wednesday, November 9th, skeptical minds were musing over what happened to Hillary in her concession speech.
She was supposed to deliver it.
A rattled John Podesta walks out on the stage.
Sources tell the American spectator that on Tuesday night after Hillary realized she had lost, she went into a rage.
Apparently, at least one source saying she began yelling screaming obscenities and pounding the furniture and picking stuff up and throwing it.
Kind of like her supporters right now.
Which that's pretty much what they're doing.
By the way, the country's gonna be alright, everybody.
I promise you.
Everything's gonna be fine.
You'll survive.
Maybe the best thing that can happen is we can get Americans back to work, our budget balanced, our borders secure, Obamacare gotten rid of.
Uh education back to the states and the president that can say radical Islam.
Uh most Americans say, yeah, they saw a ton of bias.
The difference between now and 2008, when I said journalism is dead in America, is now everybody sees what I saw.
They're not coming back.
They're not gonna be trusted.
I'm telling you right now, it's not gonna whatever.
Anyway, who's gonna make Hillary will make her first appearance?
Sanders says it's not Comey's fault that Clinton lost.
Good for him.
Will President Obama pardon Hillary?
That's gonna be an interesting question.
Anyway, you've got uh reality as a way of asserting itself.
Condescending Obama says Trump can't keep his promises.
Why does Obama think he can influence Trump?
I'm sure Trump yesed him to death.
I know Donald Trump.
I've had conversations with Donald Trump.
He yeses me to death.
You know, Donald Trump takes in what he wants, he listens to people, and then he does what he wants.
He makes up his own mind.
He's listen, which I admire.
You gotta make up your own Mind.
Obama's final foreign trip is a group therapy session.
That was the headline in the New York Post article.
We certainly expect the election will be the primary topic on people's minds everywhere we go, said Penn Rhodes.
You think?
The White House expects Trump to uphold U.S. treaties.
I tend to doubt the Iranian deal is gonna stick.
Maybe, but I doubt it.
Uh what else we got?
What else do we have going on here?
Oh.
Keith Ellison, fairly extreme guy, appears to be uh the leading candidate to be the new DNC chair.
Let's see, announced he's gonna run, extreme liberal, far outside the mainstream.
He's a fierce opponent of the Second Amendment.
His back policies that would infringe on constitutional rights.
The Republican Party sent this out.
He's far outside the mainstream on taxes.
He wants a top marginal rate over 60%.
Well he's against fracking a natural gas.
He thinks Hillary's a Republican.
That's how radical he is.
Okay, that's interesting.
Uh let us see.
What else do we got?
I gotta read.
Oh man, what is time fly when you're having so much fun?
Oh, and so many other things to get to.
Ann Coulter's gonna take a victory lap when we get back.
It is important for families that are anxious, it is important for children and adolescents that are unsure because of Tuesday, to understand that the city of Chicago is your home.
You are always welcome in this city.
Always to be clear about what Chicago is.
It always will be a sanctuary city.
To all those who are after Tuesday's election, very nervous, is filled with anxiety, has been spoken to.
You are safe in Chicago.
You are secure in Chicago, and you are supported in Chicago.
The city continues will provide services, and your ability to access those services will always be there.
They will not waver or change because of administration.
They may change, but our values do not.
This is a city of inclusion.
And while you are here and you call Chicago home and you call yourself a resident of city of Chicago, your legal status does not determine whether your kids can go to school.
Your legal status does not determine whether you can access public services, and this is a representative of what it means to be a community of support.
You are safe, you are secure, and you're supported in the city of Chicago.
are, and which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election?
Of the declared ones, right now, Donald Trump.
I especially like the fake laughter from the audience.
Scott Walker, would you say, of the Republican?
Of the ones who aren't declared.
No, I'm Romney Walker's my ticket.
Romney Walker.
So last time you were you said if we elect if we nominate Romney, we'll definitely lose.
And I was right.
But why will he win this?
That was two times the charm.
And it was because actually for well, it was third time time was the charm for Reagan.
Right.
Um it was because it's very hard to take out an incumbent.
And the reason I supported Christie back then, and uh don't now, um, was because you know, he's so flashy and and idiosyncratic.
The uh we probably were gonna lose, but the only shot we had was this wild idiosyncratic guy.
I think um Romney would crush Hillary.
I would do anything for Trump's.
So if you ran Trump if you ran Bernie Sanders, it would be much tougher.
Bernie Sanders?
It would be much tougher to beat him than you think you'd be a better candidate than Hillary.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, I mean, the American middle or the middle class working class.
Hillary doesn't.
She's like the elected Republican.
She cares about the Chamber of Commerce.
All right, there you have Rom Rombo deadfish, Emmanuel, and his pathetic pledge that he's gonna violate the rule of law, which is great.
When Trump then brings back the rule of law, rescinds the executive amnesty, illegal, unconstitutional executive amnesty, and he goes forward with the city breaking the law, then they're gonna pay a huge price.
And then, of course, the president actually, I think, believes that he's gonna influence Donald Trump, which is not going to happen.
And then the best cut, I think, of the entire election season, Anne Coulter, back in twenty fifteen.
I don't remember the exact date.
I think it was June of twenty fifteen.
Saying to Bill Maher and being scorned and mocked and ridiculed and laughed at that Donald Trump very well could win the presidency.
Ann Coulter joins us now.
And Trump we trust.
She now is having her last laugh.
That is so that is what I call getting in last licks in a major way.
Well, I'm happy about the result.
That was two days after Trump's announcement, and uh I was waiting for what we've seen so many times before for a politician to take a sensible position on immigration, um, the entire the entire establishment, the media establishment, the political establishment, both political parties, Hollywood, all of those businesses, Macy's, the apprentice, NBC, r rose up against Trump, and we've seen it time and time again, where politicians would back down.
Marco Rubio ran for Senate promising not to to support amnesty as soon as he gets to the Senate.
What's he pushing?
Amnesty.
So that was two days after Trump's announcement, and at that point, Romney was the best we ever had on immigration until the mighty Trump.
Uh it took me about two weeks to see that wow, Trump isn't backing down, um, to say pretty clearly that he would be the nominee, and I thought I thought we'd win the presidency.
You know, a lot of people are trying to make the case, oh, look at he put Steve Bannon in there.
You know, as Mark Levin said, as our friend David Horowitz said, as Joel Pollack have said, these are all people that actually really know Steve Bannon, you have known him, I know him.
This this false narrative just shows me that the media that tried to assassinate Donald Trump's character, and we're all in the tank for for Hillary, they're now they haven't learned a thing, and they're back to their same old tricks, which by the way is now been rejected by the American people.
Yes, exactly right.
We've just gone through sixteen months with the media calling Trump Hitler.
I believe every single op-ed columnist at the New York Times, at one point or another in the past year had a brilliant think piece on the comparisons between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler.
Um and it didn't work, so now they're trying it with his aid.
I you know, I'd never heard of it, and I'm sure you haven't.
Nobody had heard of this alt-right until until Donald Trump was running, but um now having discovered um these teenagers, they're really leading the way and taunting the media and the liberals, and their position, I think they're leading us the way out of this by just saying, No, actually it's fun to be called a racist.
Yeah.
You know, uh well, I gotta tell you the only reaction to this nonsense.
I don't want to hear anyone going on TV and somberly telling us that Steve Bannon is not an anti-Semite, is not a racist.
How about screw you?
I kind of like your attitude, Coulter.
I think the days of Republicans apologizing, apologizing, apologizing, apologizing for the for the built-in phony narrative.
Could you know, look, if Donald Trump follows through on his agenda, I have I have an addendum to his tax plan, and I have an idea for his education plan.
Tell me if you like it.
You know he's gonna mention the penny plan, I'm flying to New York.
Oh, shut up strangling you're just shut up.
Well, that would be a good idea, by the way, but I'm not talking about that.
I want to get to that immigration emotions.
Can I can I can I ask the question?
So he's gonna repatriate trillions, he's gonna have a fifteen percent corporate tax cut.
The repatriation tax is gonna be ten percent, which is really low, which means a lot of money can be brought in.
But if he added an incentive that it'd only be seven and a half percent tax if you invest in the cities that need it most, and when he says here's education going back to the states, he should go into major cities with predominantly black communities, and say the days of horrible education for your children is now over.
Right, okay.
But one thing I want to say about the sanctuary cities is um just first on the general point, then uh on the specifics, and that is it really is such a ratchet effect with these liberals.
Um they win in in completely illegitimate ways, rulings from the Supreme Court for abortion for gay marriage, although there's no mention of abortion and gay marriage in the Constitution.
And the next day you have gays showing up at that Kentucky um clerk's office demanding that evangelicals um hand over hand over marriage licenses.
Meanwhile, rights that are actually in the Constitution, uh the right to bear arms, Congress's authority over im immigration, the federal government's authority over immigration, the commander in chief's duty to guard the the the borders, and try to get I mean, we've had the hella ruling on on guns.
What was that?
Five, six, seven years ago?
Google that for me.
It was a long time ago.
Try to get a gun in California.
You still cannot get one, and I would submit to you, I bet you can't get one in Illinois.
Ummigration, this is expressly uh the duty of Congress to to issue rules governing the admittance of people.
It is expressly the duty of the commander in chief uh to guard our borders.
That is the job of the Department of Defense, um, which is why these appointments are very, very important.
Everyone forget, Department of Defense, hmm, listen to that name, defense.
What does that mean?
It means defend America.
It does not mean defend Germany.
We ought to bring all those troops home from over a hundred countries around the world and set them to work building the wall.
Even the most extravagant c um estimates of how much a border wall will cost amount to less than five percent of the Department of Defense's entire budget.
This is why every one of these appointments being made right now matters.
I would love to see Senator Sessions as defense secretary.
We need someone who cares about defending America and not defending the Ukraine and you know various other countries that hate us around the world.
As for how he can um how Trump, a Trump administration, also HUD is going to be important.
All of this money that pours into especially overspending states like Illinois and California, which is where a lot of these sanctuary cities are, and New York, Illinois and California are headed straight for bankruptcy like a bullet train because of those teachers' unions pensions.
Um not only will Congress under Republican hands, they would be insane to bail out these overspending states and make nice states like Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan, pay for the overspending of California.
Um but but you can of course withhold federal funding.
Um they can't just violate federal law like this, and no serious judge would uphold these sanctuary cities.
You know, I gotta tell you, the most important thing for me now is that the Republicans get out of the way, realize that it's Trump that won the election, they didn't win Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
He did.
And I I actually worry about the Mitch McConnell's and Paul Ryan's of the world and whether or not they will undermine the Trump agenda or try and water it down.
I agree with you.
I don't know about I think McConnell is we'll see.
I think he's smarter, and I hope he they have all gotten the message immigration is a bigger issue than they thought.
Every problem is solved with immigration.
It's interesting, there are a lot of things Donald Trump was the first for, um, the first to do as a presidential candidate.
Certainly as a Republican, he's the first one to say we're not cutting entitlements.
Um you know what would go a long way, just shoring up Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid?
Getting getting illegal immigrants off of it, getting the parents of H1B visa holders off it.
No, these are plans meant to support Americans when they fall on hard times or when they become elderly.
Um the the job situation, the the black youth unemployment rate.
How about we get them to work building a wall, building bridges?
Um there is going to be so many, so many wonderful things.
Every problem is made better by a moratorium on immigration and building a wall.
You know, all of that I think, and I I kind of get a kick out of you when you say you did a column recently and you said this is Trump's agenda.
How many items on the agenda were there?
Well the first hundred days I had a detailed uh schedule for him.
And and what was day one?
Start building the wall.
What was day two?
Continue building the wall.
What was day one hundred?
Report to public on building of wall, continue building wall.
And ninety-nine, day ninety-nine?
Hang on, let me check my notes.
Work your way back.
Oh, so but I agree with you.
And also I would argue that it's time to do it.
Were you at all worried when he said, Well, some parts of the wall may be a fence, depending on where they are, but I'm building the wall.
Good grief.
No.
You know what this reminds me of?
Remember uh when the media lured George Bush the first into r breaking his pledge, that outrageous breach with the American people.
I mean, uh for for you for the youngsters listening, when um the the first Bush, who had who had only got a only was elected because it was supposed to be Reagan's third term, promised at the Republican National Convention not to raise taxes.
He actually predicted how the Democrats would come to him.
This was in his speech.
They'll come to me and they'll say, We really need to raise taxes to to to you know kill the deficit.
We'll trade you this.
And he kept saying, and I'll say to them no.
I'll say to them no.
And finally it was, and I'll finally say, read my lips.
No new taxes.
Famous line.
And what does he do?
Gets into office and raises tax.
And the reason I mention that was the New York Times during that period and all media were so hilarious.
They lure Tr um Bush into doing it, saying, Well, he's got to do the responsible thing, got to do the response.
He's gotta raise taxes if he's a theoretical.
If he's gonna be the adult in the room, and then he raises taxes and they all attack him for flip flopping.
That's exactly what the media is doing now.
They are so desperate to lure Trump into violating one of his pledges, one of the big ones, there are only three or four that he absolutely cannot go back on.
The wall, deporting illegals, and it doesn't have to be done overnight.
He's given us the order, the pecking order of how he'll deport them.
Um renegotiating trade deals, um I mean and not starting a pointless war.
Those are the big ones.
If he betrays us on those, um they'll impeach him and there'll be nobody to defend him, as long as he fulfills those, and I absolutely believe he will, um, as I did since about two weeks after his announcement speech.
If he does those, he can shoot anybody on Fifth Avenue, and and the American people will have his back.
And I will also predict to you that he will get even more of the black vote in his reelection run because he is go he's one thing I've noticed, um people have to go on TV and say something.
Uh they can't just stand there and stare at or sit there and stare at the at the camera.
So they all start saying the same things, even when they're manifestly insane.
And one of the ones they were all saying this this year was, well, when Trump appeals to African American voters, he doesn't really want their vote.
He's trying to get the votes of suburban women.
Um no, actually, I think he really wants the votes of African Americans.
Um he is he has been absolutely said everything I've always wanted a Republican candidate to say.
I think he's going to do it.
I think he's going to bring back so many jobs and be so good for all Americans, but especially the working class and the middle class.
Those are the those are the people that matter to me.
I don't care about all these people in Washington.
I want to see those people get their jobs back.
Too many Americans have been suffering for too long.
I call this the forgotten man election, and the forgotten man stood up and said, I'm sick of it, thank God.
And by the way, and you uh you were really out front in all of this.
I I give you a lot of credit as uh Well, I tell you when you're a pain in my neck, so I I've got to tell you when I like what you do, but this is what you were dead on.
And uh thank you for uh always being with us.
We appreciate it.
Thank you.
Good to talk to you, Sean.
Bye bye.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Jim in Los Angeles, California, K E I B. What's going on?
How are you, Jim?
I'm good.
Thanks, Sean.
Hey, first before I get to my point, I just want to thank you for making sense of this mixed signal campaign that we just went through.
You just were the light in the dark.
Thank you.
Listen, I I c I real some people have been really nice in their notes to me.
I th I'm only gonna say this.
I kindly I uh I don't I'm not take I'm not one of these people that takes compliments well.
I'm told that by a lot of people.
I'm like I get all squirrely about all right, here's what I want to tell you though.
As hard as this fight was, the real fight just begins.
I am more focused on the real fight now.
I'm I am way beyond Tuesday of last week.
I'm happy, I'm excited, I'm glad it's an opportunity, but I'm kind of like what Trump said on 60 minutes, time to roll up our sleeves and get to work.
Get to work, exactly because let me tell you, they're gonna try they are going to try at every front to stop, undermine and hurt his presidency.
Every day this is the left is already showing they can't handle it.
Well, don't you think that CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, they've all sort of rendered themselves irrelevant politically.
They just lost it.
I totally agree.
I d I'm look, I see the ratings.
They've lost it, believe me.
And, you know, I think they've lost credibility for a lifetime.
I really do.
All they're doing now is driving divisions in America, and that's what we're seeing on the streets.
What do you think?
Yeah, I think that I think they live on it.
I mean, I was watching last night, I turned on CNN for just a minute.
I and it was what actually by accident.
You know, I'm just flipping the channels, I'm moving over to Fox to see what's going on uh to watch Brett Bear show.
And so I'm I'm I'm uh so I stopped.
And you know, I have uh I have all the shows taped on uh D VR.
So and I hit the wrong anyway, long story short, what are they doing?
Donald Trump has so many lawsuits.
Oh my gosh, he's in trouble with the this is an unprecedented situation for the country and the presidency.
And I'm like, guys, they don't get it.
And the other thing, all these attacks on Bannon.
Joel Pollock was amazing in in an in a debate that he had on CNN.
Name one example of Breitbart and white nationalism or or whatever this.
I don't even know the names of these racist people because nobody pays attention to them.
Because no nobody can stand them.
But yet you've got Black Lives Matter.
They got invited to the White House with Obama.
Hillary sought their endorsement.
What do we want?
Dead cops.
When do we want them now?
I'm not inviting those people to my house.
I'm not I don't want any part of people like that.
I don't want any part of racist.
You know, it was funny.
I don't even think America does.
I don't even think that Trump, when he was first asked about David Duke, knew who he was.
It's ridiculous.
It's just, you know, they are they are not gonna stop.
They're not gonna learn a darn thing from this election, and they are gonna continue to undermine him and any attempt to fix the precipitous decline this country is in.
This is the left, this is what they do.
You are gonna see the kookie move on, occupy black lives matter side of the democratic base out for the next four years, and if he's elected twice the next eight years, no matter how much progress is made, especially, for example, if Trump follows through on his new new deal for black America and things start getting progressively better.
They wouldn't even take good results because they're so married to their twisted ideology.
I'll give you the last word.
Go ahead.
And you you know, look, Simone Sandr uh Sanders the other day could not even conceive that four black men beating up on a white man wasn't a hate crime.
She couldn't even conceive it.
Well, by the way, you know, ended that it wasn't.
Well, you know, think of that tape, and I showed it last night.
You know, think back, there have been tapes, the Rodney King incident.
Remember that?
And the country had a collective side of outrage.
And by the way, you know, there is, you know, in the case of Rodney King, he was driving a hundred miles an hour through the streets and and all sorts of things happened in that thing.
But you just don't beat people that way.
You don't treat people that way.
If it were Trump supporters beating up a Hillary supporter, it would have been a much bigger deal.
Trust me.
The whole world is watching.
the whole world is watching!
Black lives matter!
I'm body high trust!
I'm body high tribes!
Donald Trump is not away!
Hey!
Donald Trump, no away!
Donald Trump, go away!
Donald Trump, go away!
White supremacy!
Same my humanity!
And white supremacy!
Same our humanity!
And white supremacy!
Trump!
Don't drop!
Not my president!
Not my president!
As you can hear their chance of not my president.
Also chance of Mike Pence, the vice president elect along with Donald Trump.
I believe votes have done it.
You fought a Trump!
You fought a Trump!
Yeah!
Yeah, he fought it Trump!
Oh, yeah, that's it Don't vote Trump!
Don't vote Trump!
Don't vote Trump!
Why are you beat people up like that?
Where is your conscience and soul?
You know, one of the reasons I have gotten so into martial arts and self-defense.
I just don't want to be in a position in my life where I can't defend myself.
I want to always be able to protect myself and my friends and my family and people that work with me.
And guess what?
I can.
And I work really hard at it.
Uh and I pray that I never have to ever use what I know, the knowledge that I've learned.
But if I have to, it's there.
Andrea in Indiana, Bloomington, Indiana.
Andrea, hi, how are you?
And welcome to the program.
You've got to be proud of Mike Pence now being the vice presidential elect.
Oh, we are thrilled, and we're thrilled about Trump too, Sean.
Thank you for having me on.
Thank you.
What can I do for you?
I just wanted to Well, I wanted to call and tell you about the fact that I'm one of the forgotten men in this country.
Um about 2009 I started working for a university part time and I had 39 hours a week.
When the Affordable Care Act went through, they dropped my hours by ten hours per week to comply with the rules and regulations, and of course our health care went up.
So that's a good thing.
I want to say something to you.
Um look, I know from my own life what it was like living paycheck to paycheck.
I remember I I lost my job once and and I I didn't have any work and I was literally I went to manpower.
I lived in Rhode Island at the time and I did a day's work and they gave me a sickle and said go up on the hill and cut down those weeds.
They didn't have weed whackers at the time, or at least they didn't have one to give me, so I used a sickle and my hands were like literally bleeding by the end of the day.
I've been where you are.
Here's my advice to you.
Can I ask how old you are?
I know you're never supposed to ask a woman right.
How old are you?
I'm 38.
Okay.
You're still young.
You know, I want you to, you know, Linda, I'm gonna put you on the phone with Andrea.
We're gonna find the the local Express Pros outlet in Bloomington, Indiana, the closest one.
We're gonna call the president of Express Pros, and we're gonna make sure you get special treatment in helping you find a great job that you really like, okay?
They're a sponsor of the program.
They never charge anybody a penny that's looking for a job.
But you know, look, I can't help everybody out.
We've helped a few people out.
Whenever we can we try, and I just want to really, really try and help you.
I know how hard this is.
But what I'm I love my job, Sean.
I just it was not enough hours.
No, I know, and by the way, you're not the only one.
That's why getting rid of Obamacare is so important.
That's why energy independence, look, it'll impact an area like uh Indiana and and fracking in Pennsylvania and in Ohio, and all of these things that Trump's repatriated money that we can bring back at a low rate, so multinational corporations build factories and manufacturing centers.
You know, we got to get all of this rolling.
I I don't want people's expectations to get out of whack.
The next year is Obama's economy.
The you know, for Trump to do this, this is a a two and a half year process if he moves really fast before we begin to see the benefits of his plan taking taking you know route in some way.
So, but hang in there and uh we're gonna try and help you as best we can.
Milo in Washington, D.C. Milo, hi, how are you?
And we're glad you called.
Wonderful, Sean.
Thanks for having me.
I'm actually from the Midwest, Chicago and Indiana, but I'm finishing up law school here in DC.
And I wanted to thank you for everything that you do.
I'm a big fan, and again, thank you.
I'm calling in regards to President elect Trump's declaring that it would only take a dollar salary.
I actually have a proposal for an alternative course of action, which I would like to share with you.
Okay, what do you got?
He can turn around, take that salary and pension for the next 20 years and donate it to charitable causes.
Vets, inner city schools, war widows, create scholarships, build libraries, computers, books for places like Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, liberal cities in need of resources.
He could cement his legacy for the next 20, 30 years as the first president donating his salary and pension directly to those who feel forgotten.
The salary is 400,000, the pensions 200,000 over a 20-year period.
That's five million six hundred thousand dollars.
He doesn't need it, but there are people that do, and this could do a lot of good, especially since he's entitled to that salary.
And Sean, I called him today because you have his phone number.
You can pass this idea and suggestion off to him and let him know this is an opportunity to show the world and the crooked media that Donald J. Trump is the people's president for all Americans, and this is an excellent opportunity for him to take that salary and do good for those forgotten masses that have been forgotten by DC and places that I'm currently at.
I appreciate your insight.
You know what?
I think it's great he's not taking a salary.
It sends a message, only the third president in history not to do it.
And um I think he's sending he's leading by example.
I mean, you know, that's one of the things I try to do with my kids.
I try to lead by example the best I can.
Anyway, uh to our phones we go.
By the way, did you see this earlier?
Um Ainsley Earhart's brand new book that we had her on yesterday about Take Heart My Child is now number two, the best selling book overall on Amazon, which is really amazing.
Great economy.
And you know why?
Because it's a great book.
And if you have kids or grandkids and I'm telling you, you they're gonna love the book.
The illustrations are the best I've ever seen.
The message is really incredible.
So uh anyway, we've got it up on our website, Hannity.com, go to Amazon.com, give a shout out.
Uh Ainsley's worked on our show for over ten years until she got the Fox and Friends gig, which we're really happy about.
All right, let's get to our phones.
Uh let us say hi to Steve St. Petersburg down in Florida.
Hi, how are you?
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
I'm a very longtime listener.
What's going on?
Bill, I only do it for the comedy.
Um You only listen to my show for comedy?
Just for the comedy, yeah.
I like to watch the the facts just bounce off the bubble that you're in.
I'm obviously a liberal.
Yeah.
But uh the main thing that I want to do.
By the way, are you doing okay?
I mean, do you I might have to do a Dr. Hannity hour where only liberals call in that are suffering.
You know, we have all these suffering.
You're not suffering.
Okay, good.
No.
I'm actually uh I'm uh I'm retired Coast Guard, and I am actually making more money now than I ever did while I was in the military and working on the city.
Well, after all, that's all that I was in.
You know, what's happening in New York, you've got these school kids that are still unable to process that Donald Trump won the election.
They're getting more help.
This was in the New York Post today.
Um and they're now because you remember we revealed last week that all these coddled little poor children at elite schools in New York and universities around the country, they've been offered disaster counseling to deal with President elect Trump and their depressed liberal parents.
Well, now they're offering believe it or not, at these schools, they are offering pet therapy, therapy dogs for the children because they're so traumatized about the election.
So they're told that petible poochs are gonna be brought to private schools in New York City because their students have brought so much emotion, anxiety, and strong feelings after Trump won, and the dogs are there, their therapy jackets to help the kids.
Wow.
We're taught up to this point all got turned on its head because of the racist bigot that just became our president-elect.
All right.
You know what?
My point.
Stop for a second.
Name one racist thing that he's ever said.
No, no, stop, stop.
Just I'm trying to help you.
Name one racist thing Donald Trump ever said.
I don't like playing your game, Sean.
It's not a game.
It's not a game.
Name one name one racist thing that Donald Trump's ever said.
Go.
I had a point to make.
I really did.
Okay, stop.
That's not the game.
Hang on, no, no.
Name one racist thing Donald Trump's ever said, and then we'll move on.
Go.
One racist thing.
Donald Trump.
That's it.
Just one.
Yep, one.
Uh how about the w I I can't I can't uh I can't recite it word for word.
Not word for word.
Paraphrase it.
I can't.
Okay.
But the w the the down talking he did, talking about uh African Americans, you're being shot, you're being uh you have no education, you're you're you can't walk outside your neighborhood kind of.
No, no, no.
He came up with implement a new new deal for black Americans to make their city safe, their schools better, and everything else.
So he's actually saying he's gonna help the black community because the Democrats haven't done it.
That's not racist.
Listen, when you get the answer, you call us back.
Because I'm I'm here to help you, because you are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome.
And my job is to help you.
All right.
That's my goal.
That's my mission in life.
I'm sure as a matter of convenience, I generally haven't paid a lot of attention to the polls.
But since your question's directly related to the notion of a rejection of my worldview, last I checked, a pretty healthy majority of the American people agree with my worldview on a whole bunch of things.
And I know that that begs the question well, how is it that somebody who appears to have a very different world view just got Elected.
As I said, sometimes people just feel as if we want to try something to see if we can shake things up.
And that I suspect was a significant phenomenon.
I do believe, separate and apart from any particular election or movement, that we are going to have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism or ethnic identity or tribalism that is built around an us and a them.
And I will never apologize for saying that the future of humanity and the future of the world is going to be defined by what we have in common, as opposed to those things that separate us and ultimately lead us in the conflict.
Sometimes when I'm talking to young interns of the White House who are still immunizing themselves from the cynicism that's so chronic in this town, I remind them if you had to choose a moment in history to be born and you didn't know ahead of time who you were going to be.
You choose now.
Because the world has never been less violent, healthier, better educated, more tolerant, with more opportunity for more people and more connected than it is today.
Why does his points even matter at this time?
Anyway, news roundup information overload hour of the Sean Hannity show.
You know, it's it's amazing to me.
I think he thinks that he's still gonna remain president, that he's going to be Donald Trump's chief advisor.
In a hundred days, what's gonna happen is everything that that Barack Obama has done in the last eight years will be undone.
All the executive orders will be gone done and gone within hours.
Maybe even some executive orders of George W. Bush, push 43.
Uh from that point on, it's not going to be lawlessness anymore as it relates to his illegal, unconstitutional executive amnesty.
Laws are now going to be enforced going forward.
And criminal aliens will be the first to go.
Some two to three million of them.
Well, why wouldn't you want them to go?
These are people that not only didn't respect our laws, our sovereignty, but then they came to America and committed crimes on top of the original crime.
That's not good for Americans.
And as it relates to vetting, I stand by this.
Why this is even controversial is beyond me.
If you grow up in a society in a country with a culture that feels they have the right to tell women how to dress, the right to say to women, you cannot drive a car, you cannot go to work, you can go to work, you cannot go to school, you can go to school.
A culture that believes it's okay, that marital rape in the case of let's say Cutter is legal, or in the case of Saudi Arabia, gays and lesbians get killed for being gay, or Christians and Jews are as a matter of of state policy persecuted against.
Well, if you grow up in that culture under that system of quote law, if you want to call it that, that tyranny, I would argue, and you want to come to the United States, how do we know you're not bringing those values with you?
That's what extreme vetting is.
That's why it's smart.
That means fewer people will come to America with values that contradict our deeply held conservative values.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka, major general, uh distinguished chair of uh Military Theory, Marine Corps University, author of The New York Times bestseller defeating Jihad, Jonathan Gillam, Navy SEAL, former FBI and Federal Air Marshal.
Welcome both of you back to the program, uh, Sebastian.
You have been in talks with the Trump transition team about being a part of the administration.
I would hope both you and Jonathan are a part of it, because you understand no president can get everything.
You have made it your life's work and study, radical Islam and ISIS.
What value would you bring?
What that to me would be invaluable, incalculable in terms of the advantages that would give President elect Trump.
Thank you, Sean.
Can I just say something first?
Uh your passion is really impressive.
Because a lot of people off the Tuesday have said, Hey, we won.
It's just the smooth ride now back to conservatism.
Man, oh man, you still fighting.
So uh I'm still fighting.
Well thank you.
If anything, the the work's harder now, right?
Right now we have to do it.
My message to Trump is keep your promises.
Right.
Look, I can't talk about what's going on inside the transition team.
If something were were offered to me that makes sense, I would I wouldn't be honored.
I'd I'd actually be duty bound to support Mr. Trump.
Um, you're absolutely right.
Let's look at this refugee thing for a second, because I can talk about this from a family perspective.
My parents were refugees.
They escaped a dictatorship.
My parents escaped across the iron curtain in the revolution of 1956.
Well, my dad escaped from a communist prison.
What happened when he made it across the border?
He went to a refugee camp.
What happened in the refugee camp?
He had to stay there for weeks until what?
Until a counterintelligence officer who'd interviewed him scores of times was satisfied that that person is not a threat to the country he wants to go live in.
He's not as subversive.
He's not an undercover communist agent.
He's not a radical.
Why why could you do that back in nineteen fifty-six and suddenly it's not relevant?
Suddenly, I mean, look, Sean, let's be honest.
We ha we have the transcripts now.
What do we know about Hillary's speeches to the banks?
Borders are bad.
W we don't need borders.
She wanted she wanted an open hemisphere.
Right, right.
The whole the whole the whole American continent.
All of it.
All of it.
All the way south, all the way north.
It's just one big happy family.
Right?
That was gonna work, right?
The differences are not insignificant, what I'm describing here.
If you believe you can abuse women, gays, lesbians, Christians, and Jews, I question whether or not you're bringing those values with you to proselytize or indoctrinate or advance a caliphate.
Or do you want to assimilate?
And how do you possibly, Jonathan, ever ascertain what is truly in somebody's heart, especially ISIS killers that are trained to lie.
Well that's a very difficult thing, and as Sebastian was just saying, you know, they had to go with his parents, they had to go through multiple weeks of investigations and energy interrogations.
You know, here's the thing, Sean, is that what most people don't realize is that as as Barack Obama says things overtly, as these protests happen downstairs overtly, there is a subversive movement of globalism.
What that indicates, if you really look at who these people are, you see that they're not concerned.
Even though they stay here and they talk about gay rights and uh equality, they're really not concerned with that.
They use that as a way to divide people because it's much easier to control a divided people than a unified people.
So what you heard him say right there, Barack Obama was absolutely perfect.
You couldn't have scripted it any more.
If you take the F bombs and all these things that the protesters say, this is what they feel.
They feel like what Donald Trump did is just a fluke of passion.
But the reality is we're not part of the subversive movement.
And they are.
Hillary Clinton wants no borders, she wants globalism.
You look at uh the Prime Minister of Canada, you look at France, Great Britain, Australia, all the places where it'd be nice to go live or visit have gone now to globalism, and it's not it's not not only is it not working out, but it has a uh a uh an they're looking for an outcome that has nothing to do with what's best for people.
Can I add something on that?
Because usually the thing they're trying to convince us of is that they're doing what they're doing because all cultures are equal, right?
Right, multiculturalism.
But let's be honest, it's it's not about that because their goal is to subvert our culture.
It's not about equality.
It's not about oh, it's all cool and Islam and Christian no no.
It's about subverting American values.
That's the bottom line.
That's what they're trying to hide.
Because ex American exceptionalism gets in the way.
Right.
And we've never I've said this to you before, Sean.
America's never been conquered.
You know, we were settled.
Every other country but our founders and framers all thought that the enemy was gonna come from within.
And they were right.
And they were right.
And what was bad about this enemy is the fact that when when the military and when we swear in law enforcement to defend the con support and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
It's not the DOD that determines who we go to war with.
It's politicians, and that's also who determines who the domestic enemy is.
And unfortunately, in this case, it was the politicians.
Let me ask you this, because um, we hear these threats, ISIS wants an attack during Thanksgiving.
We heard threats that it might have happened on election day.
Uh, we see Germany now is involved finally in a crackdown.
I would argue for political expediency by by Chancellor Merkel.
How does Donald Trump go about accomplishing his mission to defeat ISIS without having America engaged in another protracted foreign conflict?
Very simple.
So let's break down the different fronts in this war.
There's the Oconus, the outside of the United States front, and then there's a conus continental United States.
When we're talking about over there, 8,000 miles away, Mesopotamia, Iraq, Syria.
We have to understand that we have a role to play, but not as the face of victory.
It has to be those Muslims who have suffered the most.
Because let's be honest, they've wiped out the Christians of Iraq.
They're chasing the Yazidis up mountaintops.
But who are they killing the most of?
Muslims who disagree with ISIS.
So we have to empower Jordan.
We have to empower Egypt.
All those countries that have been dissed by this administration that just don't trust Washington.
If we build a real coalition, they will take the fight to ISIS as well.
In other words, they've got to send the boots on the ground.
But but they're never going to do that because this is how the Middle East works, unless our guys are embedded.
We've got to have advisors.
We've got to have soft special operations forces training them.
Then it'll work.
And air support.
Air support and intelligence.
Yeah.
I agree.
That'll work for the for the outside.
So and let me just add to this.
So one thing that we have to do is stop calling these people radicals.
We need to start calling it what it is.
Muslims, Islamists, and jihadists.
And the fact is that the Muslims that are willing to help, actually very small.
Islamists who support who would support jihadists but maybe not fight is a very large number.
The fact is we need, which we have never had, a strategic war plan that encompasses CONUS inside the United States and Oconus outside the continental United States.
We have always fought ISIS.
We fought Al Qaeda.
We fought these guys.
We fought the Russians in the Cold War.
But we literally now, and maybe this sounds a little conspiratorial, but we have a two-front third world war going on.
It's it's the Islamists and the jihadists.
That's one.
And you have what I like to term new communism or globalism, which is going straight to the top and taking all the leadership positions around the world.
While we concentrate on whether we call them radical or it's ISIS, threat groups.
Threat groups, we're not doing a strategic plan to defeat those and defend ourselves.
It's one in the same.
But we're also completely ignoring this other enemy that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and all these people were a part of.
Reaction?
Yeah, look, uh, look at the Cold War.
Look at World War II.
There was always a fifth column element, right?
There were always guys on US territory that were undermining us from the outside.
Don't don't listen to the propaganda.
Look at Al Jahis.
Al Jahis was a member of the Communist Party at the highest levels of the State Department.
What was he doing?
Undermining America's national interest.
Austria's interior minister says that of the 287 Islamic radicals identified in the country, 40% arrived as migrants looking for asylum.
Forty percent.
This is what Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Steinbeck, McCall, General Allen have all been and warning us.
So that would be the same here.
I don't think there's any doubt about it.
But is Europe gone?
Did Europe let too many radicals in?
Will they ever recover?
Safe zone.
I'm sorry, no go zones, for example, in parts of Europe.
Will they survive?
Look, I don't know.
Is the Islam's differently?
Is the Islamization of Europe complete?
Not yet.
Almost?
It's on the way.
I grew up in Europe.
I spent twenty-three years in Europe and I'd never know.
I had no idea.
And it's Alabama, right?
The access to the city.
I was gonna say Alabama or New York.
I couldn't figure it out.
And and when I go back to Europe now, I just don't recognize Europe.
I mean, I went to Vienna recently, and there's this beautiful street called the Ringstrasse that has the opera house on it.
And we you're in the heart of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, and what do you see now?
Not just hijabs, you see full burkers with the grill.
You see as if I've been to Afghanistan.
It's like I'm in Afghanistan.
That's in Austria.
Yeah.
Outside the opera house.
Right.
So is it finished?
It's not finished.
Why?
I'll give you one ray ray of hope.
Nigel Farage.
I'll give you Brexit.
He's a great guy.
He's on TV tonight.
Bre Brexit is the antibodies.
Look, it's political correctness.
We've had enough.
Whether it's the guys in Brussels or whether it's the idiots at number 10 Downing Street.
So Brexit could show the way.
And what what the left doesn't understand here, and it is just so entertaining to read the New York Times and everybody else in Huffbo.
Brexit is the Trump train.
These are the same things.
I agree.
And you know, I always I always hoped, but until I see numbers, I'm just maybe the doubting Thomas.
Look at Linda.
I always knew it'd be Brexit.
I would never have wavered at all.
But I always thought that was the possibility.
And and those issues that they were dealing with were our issues that we were dealing with, and then it finally happened.
And you know, people are saying to me, Well, aren't you excited?
Aren't don't you want to stick it in their face?
Yeah, maybe a little part of me, but more importantly, I feel relieved.
Yeah.
That America has a shot of rebuilding and and stopping the bleeding and the the precipitous decline that we're now living through.
Look, I came out pretty early as a supporter of Trump.
I tried to stay in the national security field, but say this man can win this war for us.
In the last few weeks before the election, uh, several people, you know, would come out, people who knew me and say, what happens if she wins?
I never I never entertained that reality.
No, but seriously, I I see myself as a realist, okay?
All right.
I wouldn't even allow that.
I can't go there.
I can't go.
Because it's gone.
Supreme Court.
Just the Supreme Court.
I tried with every bit of passion I could muster to make people aware of what this election was about.
Listen, love you both.
You need to both be in the cabinet, you know, or in the government of Donald Trump in some capacity, national security, I think ideal, Sebastian Gorka, Jonathan Gillam.
Thank you both for being with us.
Appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
I got the nicest call from somebody that has been somebody who's been, frankly, uh a mentor to me, somebody that I spent hours watching on C-SPAN doing special orders, somebody that I frankly could listen to for hours and hours and hours on end.
He was always passionate conservative with with fidelity to our constitution, and he was somebody that would fight, unlike a lot of modern-day Republicans in the House and Senate that were unwilling to fight the Obama agenda.
And uh he's retired now, and uh I hope he's having the time of his life.
He's uh when I was in Huntsville, Alabama, I made a call to Robert K. Dornan, and I said, you know, Congressman, I I've got this Democratic Congressman here who hates my guts.
I don't have representation, and neither does my audience.
Can we adopt you after we had a a poll of my listeners, and we adopted Bob Dornan as our special congressman, and he accepted and said he would represent those of us in Northern Alabama in Huntsville that didn't like Bob, whatever his name is, uh Kramer or something, I forget his name.
B1 Bob is his nickname, and he's back with us.
How are you, my friend?
How have you been?
Oh my gosh, Sean, uh the Sean Sanity Hannity show.
Unbelievable.
Sean, I have ne uh I have never been so ecstatic since the Reagan election in 80.
And I bumped into him at at uh a restaurant on Beverly Boulevard the night after the election with Nancy, and I'm telling you, I I I just could hardly speak to a Ronald Reagan at Dave Chase's restaurant, and I have never had this feeling.
Well, let me let me steal a quote from Clint Eastwood.
Clint said, I'm an old man, and now I can go out my last years in peace and not be told.
Oh, well, hang on.
You're not that old, B1.
Number one.
Number two, you know what?
I want to tell you something, because you were being so nice to me yesterday, and I don't want you to repeat what you said, but I will say this.
You've got to understand, I was a student of yours.
I was a student of special orders.
I grew up with renewing American civilization, Newt Gingrich's old tapes, which I still have a copy of.
Um I learned from from the pioneers of conservatism like yourself.
So I feel, you know, that there's no higher compliment to me that that you are happy that uh I fought hard for for the right cause in this election, and that was easy for me to do.
Well, Sean, let me let me say something from yesterday, and I want to repeat it slowly.
You and I and Newton a lot of guys that ride this uh bucking bronco of American politics.
We tend to speak too quickly sometimes.
So let me slow down.
I have been calling Kellyanne Fitzpatrick Conway, she was my polster in in the 96 and 98.
She is we're all calling her a rock star.
When I was a fighter pilot, we used to say there are only three jobs worth having on the planet.
President of the United States, rock star, and a fighter pilot in any country's Air Force, a fighter pilot.
And so we've been kicking around that word rock star since I was in my early 20s flying supersonic fighters.
Well, Kelly Ann's not the only rock star.
Sean Hannity, you are a rock star in politics, and I'll tell you why.
Jeremiah Wright, who else kept mentioning that and demanding that the media vet Obama.
You said several times since 2008, you said the media died in this country.
They not only died, they worship at the altar of the Clintons.
It's almost diabolical.
And I'm going to give you a a little one answer quiz that I think reveals so much about this election.
Hillary switched on traditional marriage, on Keystone Pipeline, on the Trans Pacific, on everything.
Anything Bertie did, she became a socialist.
But there's one issue, and only one, Sean, that if she were to switch, she would be treated like a biblical leper, like she had a Bola AIDS, uh the flesh-eating bacteria.
The party would dump her in an instant if she changed on one issue.
And I see that one issue on signs the last three nights.
It's abortion.
This is why the media licks the mud off her boots.
It would when uh on Waters World, he had three very intelligent, mature women lined up all in their late 20s, 30s, and he said, ladies, you're all voting for Hillary Y. The middle one forcefully said, abortion.
One word.
I see it on the signs.
My body's my body.
And last night or uh on the five, Harald of Rivera said the following.
Well, nothing is ever going to change on Roe Wade.
He's going nowhere there.
It's been with us for uh uh since 1973.
Uh it's the court has decided that the baby is a part of the mother.
Let me ask you, let me ask you this question.
In a uh a mother's womb of a boy of a different racial background, different hair color, different eyes, different IQ DNA.
That is part of the mother's body, like a ruptured uh uh uh uh uh uh gallbladder, like it's a cancerous tumor.
What are you talking about?
That's the thing.
Well, I do agree with this.
There there are there's an there is zero room among the hard left on that issue and a number of others.
But let me ask you this.
There are so many Republicans that didn't want to support Trump, starting with the National Review people, starting with the red state people, starting with, you know, uh the Wall Street Journal people, starting with the intellectual class, you know, those that forget Bill Buckley and the comments and the combativeness that he had with Gore Vidal and and some others.
And my question to you is, and then it you had very few congressmen willing to admit they're supporting Trump.
Kelly Ayott, I would argue, probably lost because of it in New Hampshire.
And my question is you know, a lot of these guys, it was Republicans that called Reagan, and I'm not comparing Reagan and Trump, they're two very different personalities.
But they called him an amiable dunce.
That wasn't Democrats, that was Republicans.
My question is, what has happened to the Republican Party that they have become spineless, that they have become gutless, that they have become visionless, that they literally made one promise that they'd break after another.
They wouldn't use their constitutional enumerated power of the purse.
Uh what what has happened to them?
Well, let me bring it back to you again.
The weekend before the election, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, I'd watch your show, I'd watch reruns on the weekend, and I'd say to Sally, Sean is going to be standing there like a tiger, almost alone.
If if Hillary pulls this off, diabolically protected Clinton Inc.
crime family, slithers back into the Oval Office.
Sean has said he's gonna lay this at the feet of all of these gutless and in some cases Judas Republicans.
I said, Sean has his work cut out for him.
I gotta figure out how to help me.
It's gonna be so tough.
Sean, you've been relieved of that burden because there's something else that happened that that kind of broke my heart.
Thirty former Republican members signed a letter on a Friday in October.
It was the morning before the uh Bush tape broke.
And on that was Senator Humphreys of uh New Hampshire, my pal Vin Weber, eight of the people on this 30 letter of Former House members, 29 and one senator, were eight of them who left the house in a sex scandal.
Three of them who left the house in a financial scandal, and they were all coming down hard on uh Donald Trump.
But you uh went through the litany of remember the covenor, cover of National Review.
I had Bill Buckley on my show three times.
He was a personal friend.
He wouldn't have countenanced this, and then uh weekly standard.
But I have to hear over and over on the evening news last night, there was an article calling uh Bill Crystal a renegade.
What they don't point out, it was written by a fellow Jewish member of the tribe, which doesn't excuse the ugly title, but it takes away some of the harshness.
All of this attack on Steve Bannon.
Look, I thought that the Democratic Party for one day was the Edward Munch famous picture called the Scream that's one of the wealthiest uh for years that had the record of selling it at I don't know, a hundred and thirty million dollars or something.
When it broke the record in 1912, it was 20 million dollars, the screen at home alone, that great little actor Macaulay copied that scream.
It only lasted a day or two, Sean.
They are back on the attack, led by uh former uh communist Van Jones with his white lash lines.
It is unbelievable how quickly they've recovered, backing up their demonstrators and and violence uh people in the streets.
That man so viciously beaten that you showed on your program, you said it was tough to watch.
I was clenching my teeth because 90% of the punches were sucker punches from behind his head, and and then this woman comes on and goes, Oh, poor white people, give me a break.
If that was your brother, your father, your kid brother, and be beaten like that on the street, your husband, I'm telling you, you better eat properly, showing hands, you better watch yourself, you better drive carefully.
This country needs you uh like it needed Nathan Hale, and look how he.
Listen, listen, I I don't take that honor at all.
Listen, I'm gonna tell you what this election is for me.
I call it the forgotten man election.
And that is that picture you put up, that guy on the bench.
I know, right?
But that's what it's about.
And you know, I spent a year B1 repeating myself.
And I knew what I was doing.
Some people say, Oh, Hannity repeats himself.
I'm like, yeah, I did it on purpose, because I wanted people to know how bad the Obama years were for so many people.
You know, we throw out statistics.
Those are mil nearly 50 million Americans in poverty and on food stamps.
Those are real people, real lives, real suffering, and unnecessary suffering caused by the failure of government.
The bigger failure to me was the Republican Party.
The bigger failure was John Boehner adding five trillion to the debt, not using the power of the purse.
The bigger failure was, you know, McConnell promising to stop executive amnesty and unconstitutional amnesty, and they they ended up funding it because they didn't want to be blamed for a government shutdown.
And you know, here's Donald Trump.
Listen, nobody's perfect.
I think you've read in the good book.
We've all sinned and fallen short.
He's not perfect, but he had the courage of, you know, many, many people combined, took more heat than anybody I've seen in my political lifetime, maybe including you.
And that's saying a lot, because you took a lot of heat your whole career.
And he went out and said, This is the alternative agenda.
We're gonna secure the border.
We're gonna lower the corporate tax rate, we're gonna get the economy going, we're gonna be energy independent, we're we're gonna vet refugees because it makes Americans safer.
Energy independence, immigration the wall, education back to states.
There's nothing hard about this, B-1.
The only thing that was missing was somebody with a vision to articulate that to the American people.
It's not complicated.
Well, there's one word you use over and over, spineless, and I see it in all of the best religious publications now.
Uh you you know I'm a loyal Catholic to the core, but our bishops are now called them duct tape bishops.
What does that mean?
They reach for the duct tape and personally put it on their own mouths.
They do not speak out except for about 20 hero bishops who really went to the wall.
But you know, Jesus always used parables.
Let me tell you a story that a lot of people.
We have less than a minute, though.
But by the way, I can't even go to the Catholic church anymore.
And you know I was raised a Catholic like you.
I know it.
I know it.
It's uh well, I'll find you the right uh priests and bishops.
When you have uh when you have a traditional holy pastor, which Sally and I do, it you've just about got everything.
But let me tell you this one story.
I'm a freshman.
It's 1977.
You I think are just starting in Alabama.
Uh and and remember when you adopted a congressman to get rid of whoever that guy was in northern Alabama.
You remember it came down to two people, and I won.
Yep.
You know what the other person was?
Who?
New Cambridge.
Yeah, I remember now, right?
Okay, Sean.
I beat him out.
I was your adoptive congressman.
Now here's the story.
I'm at the computer at the back of the house.
They've just been put in.
Brand new computers.
We have a vote on Common Citizens Picketing.
Then it was followed by a Henry I. Poe light vote.
We had 20 Republicans voting with the Democrats.
And I'm standing there, remember Steve Sims of Idaho great guy?
I said, Steve, what the hell is this?
Who are these 20 traitors voting with the Democrats?
He says, You're in for a real lesson here.
Every vote we lose or win, we've got about 20 traitors that are with the other side.
All right, I gotta break.
Yeah, broken.
We never found our spine.
The last guy who's retiring, Richard K. Hannah, is the only Catholic in the house who votes for abortion.
And he finally retired because he knew he was going to win.
All right, B1 Bob, I've got to go because of the constraints of time.
I could listen to you all day.
Thank you, my friend.
Will you do me one favor?
Yeah.
I've done it and I've got it in front of me, and let's do it next week.
Make up a list, a positive and a negative list like Nick's used to draw a line down a long yellow pad, put on the on one side all of the people like Van Jones and Ron Reagan Jr., the ones we're never going to hear from again.
