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.
Right down our toll free telephone number.
You want to be a part of this extravaganza that's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to join us.
You know, I gotta be honest, this is getting very almost entertaining.
The media reaction to Donald Trump.
It is it is beyond funny at this point.
You know, um, so all these people that were biased, abusively so, that are bed exposed by wiki leaks, you know, look at the little pipsqueak over at CNN Brian Stelter.
He's Jeff Zucker's stenographer.
I hear he's in his office constantly, and they're obsessed that I actually tweet them.
So I I probably have given the Pip squeak way too much attention, and I probably will stop after today because it's just a waste of my time.
But I have had fun, and having fun is a good part of this job.
It's one of the side bennies that you get because I get to call these people out in ways that they otherwise wouldn't.
So what has the media now been focused on?
You know, Steve Bannon, even though there's no evidence, and all these prominent uh prominent prominent Jewish Americans have all come out and said, No, he's not an anti-Semite.
No.
No, here's a speech where he praises uh the Judeo Christian ethic.
Oh, here's his friends, the you know, many of them that are are prominent Jewish Americans.
Even Alan Dershowitz came to his defense.
Joel Pollack is the senior editor at large and in-house counsel at Breitbart.
As a matter of fact, we're gonna have him on later in the program today.
So that's not working.
Then their focus is on Donald Trump snuck away from the press pool.
This does he not know he's the president elect.
He snuck away and he went to dinner.
Oh, but okay, he went to the 21 club.
Linda, have you ever been to the 21 club?
I have never been.
I actually yesterday gave a speech at the Harvard Club to the Radio Inc.
people.
I gave one other speech there.
You walk in the door and your nose literally lifts up above your eyeballs.
It's such a stuffy place.
By the way, the place is gross.
Seriously.
They need new they have this hideous, ugly red, maroon, I guess, Harvard colors carpet.
And I mean, the floors, I'm like, guys, sand the floors and you can redo them.
I mean, it didn't either paint.
It was like I'm like, this is the Harvard Club?
It was horrible.
So anyway, I mean, I'm not I don't go to these snooty plates places.
I never go to the tavern on the green, or uh, what's the other snooty restaurants in New York?
I don't go to the Plaza Hotel.
I don't go to um the Waldorf.
You know, I don't hang out with the rich, the popular, the famous, those that have champagne wishes and caveat all dreams, you know, those that, you know, only the little people pay taxes, those people.
I don't even know anyway.
So it's a famous place to dine.
Apparently it's Donald Trump's favorite restaurant.
And apparently he orders a hamburger every time he goes there.
So it's not like Donald Trump, yeah, he took his family out to dinner.
He didn't tell the press he was going out to dinner, and they're all wigged out that Donald Trump went to a fancy restaurant and ordered a freaking hamburger with his family.
Now, did Donald Trump ask for a private room?
No.
Just the opposite.
He sat down uh with all the other people in the fancy restaurant in the main dining room, and apparently the dining room stood up and applauded him for ten minutes.
He got a standing ovation.
Now, the media's all bent out of shape.
He didn't tell the press pool he's going to get a hamburger.
And then the next thing is, did you see Ivanka?
This is an outrage.
Ivanka Trump was wearing her own jewelry lying in the 60 Minutes interview.
Oh, maybe she should have worn somebody else's jewelry in the interview.
Then there wouldn't be such a big deal.
And they tweeted out a picture of it and said you could buy, and by the way, it's expensive and everything.
She's using abusing the presidency.
So they sent out a note saying, okay, this was our standard protocol.
If I'm out and I'm wearing jewelry that I like that I design that I sell, that's part of my business.
I'm not begging you to buy it.
If you want to buy it, buy it.
And but we will adjust the protocol.
Everyone's adjusting to the new situation.
And this is what they're focused on.
If you go to Drudge now, this is hilarious.
Um watching the elevators at Trump Tower.
There is a live cam at the elevators at Trump Tower, as they now take note of who is going in, a who's who of political and business elite, I guess, going to kiss the ring.
I probably shouldn't say this.
But I've gone to Trump Tower.
We've done them any TV show from there, for example.
There's another entrance I know about where there's no camera.
All of you on the media, you're a bunch of dummies.
There's another entrance that I know about.
It's an exclusive Hannity entrance.
It's not really an exclusive.
You know what?
They're gonna actually run with that because they're so dumb.
They're gonna be like, Hannity's secret entrance.
Hannity bought a picture of all the presidents and Obama and the forgotten man and Obama, who by the way, did, according to his own words, uh rip up the Constitution when he said he didn't have the legal authority to with the with a stroke of a pen, issue executive orders and amnesty and immigration, but he did it anyway.
So this particular painting by John McNaughton, which is on my website, Hannity.com, that the forgotten man, I said this is the forgotten man election.
That means 50 million Americans on food stamps, 50 million in poverty, and 95 million Americans out of work.
That's that's why these people voted.
Because they want jobs, hope, opportunity back, and they don't want the debt that we've got and everything else.
So anyway, so there is a live cam.
Now there are people that are walking in the main entrance.
Although a little Hannity secret to the media, there are multiple other entrances, some that you don't know about, and some that are completely private that you would never know who snuck in or out.
They'll go right in and out under your nose, and you will not see them.
It's so stupid.
But anyway, some of the people that have been coming in, you've got obviously Kellyanne Conway, that she works there.
You've got uh one of his fundraisers, Steve Munchin, is there, and Comrade De Blasio, the mayor of New York is there.
I'm gonna get to him in a minute.
Eric Trump actually went to see his father.
That's really big news.
And Senator Jeff Sessions, one of his best friends, he's there too.
And Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.
Floyd Money Mayweather visited.
By the way, great champion, horrible fight to watch.
A Mayweather fight is the dullest fight you'd ever seen.
It's not like Connor McGregor at the garden this weekend.
Wow, that's a fight.
Finally, we have uh ultimate fighting in New York, UFC fighting in New York.
Did you see pay-per-view, Jason?
Did you watch it?
I'm not an ultimate fighting guy, but I heard that it was the uh the number one all-time record record seller at the garden.
I had four tickets.
And at the last minute, I had to go into a secret private entrance someplace.
I just it's unbelievable how stupid these people.
Anyway, so those people are there.
Now what's and by the way, I'm not saying where I was, who I was with, what I'm doing, and when I'm you know, it's like with the painting.
Did you buy the painting?
You know, Politico, apparently, they only give editorial control to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Because they wrote an article about me today and they never called me.
They never wanted to know what I'm doing with the forgotten man painting.
Well, you're gonna have to wait and see.
And by the way, why is it anybody's business what I do with something I buy?
You know, remember the whole thing about well, Hannity, did you fly Newt Gingrich to meet Donald Trump in Indiana?
And my answer, it's none of your business what I do.
Now, if I donate money to a campaign, then that's a different story.
What if I knew ahead of time that Newt Gingrich's meeting had nothing to do with him being vice president?
These people write things and they don't know anything, and nor do they even ask.
The only people that get asked are the Clinton campaign.
And then of course you got the liberal media.
Anyway, um, you know, so the the Pipsqueak Brian Stelter writes media accessibility was a winning strategy for Trump in the primaries.
How about trying it again now as President elect?
So I tweeted back.
Why should at real Donald Trump ever go on CNN again?
Or NBC again or CNBC again or MSNBC.
Oh, guess what?
Stephen A. just wrote me, I was ringside for McGregor with McGregor.
You know, I love Stephen A's, my buddy.
Stephen A, you didn't ask Sean Hannity, your brown belt wearing friend to go with you.
Really?
And your ringsign?
I would have I've if I knew you liked Ultimate Fighting, I would have brought you with me.
I ended up giving the tickets to my my martial arts instructor, my sensei.
He got them and he took them.
He went there.
But they weren't as good as ringside with Stephen A. Salad.
Anyway, so why should Donald Trump go on any of these people?
CNN feeds questions to forums and debates to Hillary Clinton ahead of time to help her cheat.
CNN colludes with the DNC.
You know, where's the apology?
This guy, this Pipsqueak stelter, the stenographer of Jeff Zucker who runs the Clinton News Network.
He's out there talking about the need for soul searching.
Okay.
Where's CNN's apology for how biased they were during this campaign?
Now, the New York Times tried a little bit.
They tried a little bit that they're going to rededicate themselves to being great journalists.
Well, that's after an election that they tried to heavily influence.
You know, so they tweeted out, oh, we've added 41,000 new subscriptions from election day.
Well, I don't trust the New York Times.
You know, all right, so they they have an audience.
What is their audience?
Occupy Wall Street, move on.org, Black Lives Matter, the entire alt-radical left movement.
Who else is their voice?
All right, so that's the print voice of all these radical groups.
You know, pigs in a blanket, fry them like Bacon.
What do we want?
Dead cops.
Why do we want them now?
And but I guess their TV voice is CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS.
I mean, this is what happened.
This is what was exposed in this election.
And my attitude is why should Donald Trump ever talk to them?
By the way, Obama, this is gonna be fascinating on his way out.
He just set a new record for rules and regulations for his administration, spitting out 527 pages worth in just a single day as he raises uh races to put his fingerprint on every corner of American life.
Now that just means Donald Trump is gonna have to spend an extra hour the first day he's president, we're sending all of this crap.
And can't rescind the pardons, and one of the big questions now facing Obama, and this is really not a Trump issue because the FBI is going to finish its investigation into Hillary Clinton.
They're going to look into the private email server and the Clinton Foundation.
Then there will be a real attorney general appointed under the Trump administration.
The attorney general's not going to consult with Donald Trump on what to do about Hillary Clinton.
So Barack Obama now faces a very difficult dilemma in his life.
Jesse Jackson is asking Obama to please pardon Clinton.
President Ford was simply determined to stop the potential harm, restrained the hemorrhage and healed the wound.
Yeah, those in the anger and spirit of retribution want to use Hillary Clinton as a trophy in the name of false justice.
It would be wise in the name of Justice and the Linus of Lincoln and Ford, the President Obama, to do the same at the pardon Hillary Clinton.
Obama, I'm telling you, doesn't want to do it.
But if he wants Hillary to get off, he's probably gonna have to.
One other interesting side note is I don't want to hear another complaint from all you libs out there about how Donald Trump is encouraging his supporters to commit violence.
Number one, it's not true.
Number two, uh, you know, we've got the list of presidential medal of freedom recipients announced by the White House today.
Let's see, Robert De Niro, whose last major performance was a video threatening to punch Donald Trump in the face.
That's who Barack Obama thinks the deserves the highest non-military award a president can bestow on any American.
Okay.
He thinks uh he said about De Niro.
He thinks uh he's gaming society.
De Niro said rather about Trump.
Doesn't pay his taxes, he's an idiot.
So he wants to punch him in the face.
Okay, that's really nice.
And the president had a chance to deal with these protesters.
We've shown you the violence on TV.
We'll do it again tonight.
Does the president tell him to calm down and stop?
Nope.
Listen to this.
Uh, you've spoken a great deal about what you you've characterized as kind of a crude form of nationalism, perhaps on the rise.
I'm wondering if you would advise some of those protesters at home to stop demonstrating against some of the charged rhetoric that has been used by Donald Trump.
And I'm wondering as well if you've uh advised your successor to be extra mindful of what you see as some very worrisome trends, particularly when it comes to making his own potentially powerful staff picks.
One of the great things about our democracy is it expresses itself in all sorts of ways.
Uh, and that includes people protesting.
Uh I've been the subject of protests during the course of my eight years, and I suspect that there's not a president in our history that at some point has to be a good thing.
Yeah, why tell him to stop even though I forget enough.
Oh, by the way, did you notice the ADL rescinded their comments and accusation that Steve Bannon was racist?
Or I'm sorry, anti-Semitic.
That was because so many people stood up for Steve Bannon and said, no, he's just the opposite.
He's a strong believer, and speech after speech shows he's a strong believer and supporter of Israel and the Judeo-Christian ethic.
Whoops, see Daisy.
Or I see my friend John from Master Built is here.
Uh listen, you have never had a Turkey Thanksgiving dinner until you put it in a master built butterball turkey fryer.
And by the way, you don't have to worry about blowing up your house and calling the fire department.
You can actually do it inside and do it safely.
It takes an hour, one hour, to deep fry a 15-pound turkey.
An hour.
And it's by the way, it's moist and delicious.
It's the best you've ever had.
A quarter of the time of oven roasting.
And uh I don't care how many times you based your turkey, it never works.
It just never works.
You deep fry a turkey in a butterball master built electric turkey fryer, and you're gonna call me when I get back from Thanksgiving and say, Oh, Hannity, you're a genius.
Hannity, you're a genius.
It's the best thing.
Anyway, you can find him at every big store.
By the way, if you go to Hannity.com, uh, we're gonna be giving one away, and you can join our master built sweepstakes, no purchase necessary.
Just go to Hannity.com, and uh you got to be 18 years or older, U.S. resident sweepstakes ends 1159 on November the 20th.
That's three days away.
You get all the rules of Setter to Hannity.com.
All right.
You're gonna link it.
By the way, I made this point the other day, network slamming Steve Bannett.
Okay, what about ignoring Keith Ellison's radicalism?
Keith Ellison, you know, the guy who's Louis Farrakhan's friend.
That guy.
I mean, media research pointed out how the big three networks spent almost no time on radical Democrat, alt-left Democrat Keith Ellison.
Alt-Radical left.
By the way, alt-right.
Did anyone ever hear what alt-right is before this Election, I never did.
So, okay, we're gonna say the alt radical left.
What is the alt radical left consist of?
It consists of the Occupy movement.
It consists of, let's see, what else does it consist of?
Occupy moveon.org, Black Lives Matter, all the Alinskyite disciples.
You know, the same black lives matter.
What do we want?
Dead cops, when do we want them now?
Those same people that got invited to the White House by Obama.
So I guess that makes Obama part of the alt radical left movement.
And Hillary Clinton sought their endorsement, so that makes her the alt radical left candidate that she was.
Anyway, so since November 13th, ABC, NBC CBS, they went on their feeding frenzy against Bannon, according to media research.
Forty-one minutes 46 seconds covering Trump's announcement of Bannon's inclusion inclusion in the White House staff.
74% of the coverage is negative.
Even the ADL now has taken back their charge of anti-Semitism.
Because it's not true, as I told you the other day.
Prominent Jewish Americans, everyone from Levin, Joel Pollock, even Alan Dershowitz, Pam Geller, I mean, David Horowitz, Dennis Prager.
They all know Bannon.
This was a smear from the beginning.
Anyway, Bannon is called every manner of name based only on alt radical left innuendo.
And by the way, CNN with their big soul searching going on, they too are guilty of the smear coverage.
But the so in other words, the media hasn't learned a darn thing.
There is no soul searching.
They're now on, they're upset that Donald Trump went out to the 21 club with his family and didn't tell the press.
And he ordered a hamburger in the main dining room where everybody else was.
Gee, what a shocker.
Or that poor Ivanka wore her own jewelry in the 60 Minutes interview.
I mean, this is what they're obsessed about.
Can you imagine?
They're just they're doing their dirt digging right now to smear, slash, burn, slander, besmirch, use character assassination on anybody that Trump wants to bring in.
This is what the left does.
You know, now they're the kids are so upset at our schools, they need aroma therapy.
And they need their teachers and professors to give them hot cocoa.
Kill myself that I'm not a kidding.
You better now this is a Bernie Sanders lady.
I literally am gonna die.
I need an ambulance.
Typical liberal, though.
I mean, that's kind of like what we're reading about, but that was a Bernie Sanders supporter.
By the way, Bernie Sanders supporters, don't you now feel that you were cheated?
Because you were.
You absolutely were screwed over, top to bottom, left to right, even sideways.
They got you everywhere coming and going.
Anyway, Keith Ellison's coverage is next to nothing.
They've only given a scant two minutes, nine seconds of coverage, according to Media Research Center, and it was all fawning coverage.
Despite the rising vo voice of concern by Jewish groups worried about his past radical statements.
The networks ignored his praise for racist anti-Semitic leader, Lewis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, his support of reparations, his demands the U.S. government set aside land inside the country for a new quote black homeland.
He has a history of Muslim Brotherhood connections according to Steve Emerson.
Oh, but we're gonna talk about poor Steve Bannon again and again and again.
Then we're gonna give a medal of honor to the guy that threatened to punch Donald Trump.
By the way, even the French are recognizing after Brexit and the win of Donald Trump, the French prime minister, warned that the more nationalist party in France has a chance of winning next year's presidential election.
Oh, maybe we're learning something.
Isn't that interesting?
Trump's transition is moving faster than Obama's and Clintons.
That's the other thing the media's fixated on.
Last few days, the alt radical left, Trump hating media.
They've kept up a steady drumbeat of reports claiming that Trump's transition is in chaos.
That it's rife with internal divisions.
Nobody can agree on anything.
They're way behind schedule.
Well, I hate to bring truth to power and reality, but the Trump transition so far, at least has been one of the smooth smoothest in modern history.
Here's an interesting drudge headline.
Trump shock.
Secretary of State Romney.
No way.
That would be pretty pretty shocking.
MBC.
but look, it's NBC.
I can't.
How do I cite them as sources anymore?
They're just so unreliable.
You know, the best way for me to find out what's going on is just pick up a phone and ask them.
And the reason I don't bother Kellyanne, who's a 20-year friend of mine, and banning a 20-year friend of mine, and call Donald Trump directly because he takes my calls, is because I don't bother them.
And I figure when they've got an announcement to make, they'll make it.
And while I'm not looking for insider information.
And as Newt Gingrich said on this program yesterday, those that know aren't saying.
And those that don't know are speculating like crazy.
Anyway, the CNBC article goes on to say that former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will meet with Trump this weekend to discuss the Secretary of State position.
In March, the former Massachusetts governor called Trump a phony and a fraud.
Also campaign with John Kasich.
And uh, you know, I I who knows.
I can't anything, I guess, can happen.
I think that would be a bad choice.
You know, this is my take on elections and on loyalty.
The last people on are the first people off.
Because every presidency's gonna hit bumps in the road.
And the people that were so quick to attack, slander, abandon Trump, now that are kissing the ring, I guess, as we watch this long litany of people walking into Trump Tower, getting filmed by the live cam waiting there, not knowing about the secret entrance that Hannity knows about.
And they're going up by kissing his ring.
I hope Trump isn't stupid enough to fall for this crap.
Seriously.
Let me just tell let me tell President elect Trump my opinion on this.
Okay.
I'm gonna be very blunt.
Paul Ryan's not your friend.
Sorry, that's how I feel.
Mitch McConnell's not your friend.
Sorry, I'm just telling you the truth.
Mitt Romney is not your friend.
John Kasich is not your friend.
Lindsey Graham is not your friend.
John McCain is not your friend.
Let's see, who am I forgetting here?
Jeb Bush is not your friend.
They're just not.
They didn't want you to win.
All these people, the National Review and Weekly Standard, they're not your friend either.
Wall Street Journal, they're not your friend.
You don't, if you want a friend, I would urge President elect Trump.
I don't know if he likes dogs.
I love, I don't know how you can't love dogs.
I love dogs.
I've got two of the best dogs ever.
I got my Bernice Gracie.
I was so sad when I lost Duffy and so sad when I lost Snowball.
And then we got the new Majestic Manor Golden.
And that's uh Marley.
Marley's a trip.
Marley is the most fun I've ever had with a dog because she is a retriever.
So I'm constantly throwing balls so far, and she loves retrieving them and loves chasing them again.
And I love playing that game.
I can play that game all day until she tuckers out.
And she I know she's tuckered out when she says, okay, I'm done now.
I'm gonna lay here and not come back anymore.
That's what I know she's had enough.
I'm like, get over here.
Give her that mean daddy voice.
Get over here.
Get over.
And she like kind of she'll make her way back, drop whatever we're playing with, and then walk away and say, I'm done.
I'm not playing anymore.
You're wearing me out.
Like, I'm trying to keep you healthy.
So Trump's campaign, in spite of what you read, is moving very well.
San Francisco public school schools are teaching students that Trump's a racist.
ABC News in San Francisco, the public schools have been off, have offered a classroom lesson plan that calls President elect Donald Trump a racist sexist man who became president by pandering to the huge racist and sexist base in the country.
So if you voted for him, you're a racist and sexist too.
Um pretty amazing.
The same people, did they ever say anything about Obama's friendship with Ayers and Dorn?
Sitting in the pews of the Church of GD America and Reverend Wright.
What an Olinsky really believes about radicalism, who Frank Marshall Davis is, who Father Flager is.
No.
That was my job.
Tim Kane says he's not going to run for president.
Gee, big announcement.
I'm so I'm so so glad they shared that with us.
That was really big of them.
I'm really excited to hear that.
Oh my gosh, I was so worried about that.
Trump now you got this president now is going through and signing five hundred and twenty seven pages of regulations.
All right, so Trump, I think, is going to spend probably the first few hours of his presidency undoing all of them.
And then some.
The Washington Examiner says congressional officials and these anti-regulation groups, they're tallying up some of the regulations that Trump can eliminate under House and Senate rules.
And the American Action Forum has a complete list of those regulations that can be targeted under the Congressional Review Act.
Utilizing the congressional and presidential Trump, he can potentially repeal 48 major regulations at a minimum, which cost $42 billion and 53 million hours of paperwork.
This is what we can just start doing.
The GOP, Jamie Dupree reported, there was a nice column written about Jamie Dupree in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
You should put it up on our website, Linda.
Add it to our news.
By the way, our website has gotten so good with our new team.
I met with them today.
They were great.
And they're like, we did this without any of your help.
We just built it.
I know, I like I know.
I said I'm a little busy.
Anyway, Jamie Dupree has uh has had voice issues now for a while, and he's still on our team.
We love him.
He's always going to be on our team, and we're just hoping he gets his voice back sooner than later.
But he sends me notes every day.
Says the GOP is giving I should do this in Jamie Dupree now from the hill.
Jamie Dupree.
And then he starts giving well, the GOP gave up on his budget work for now, and I'd interrupt him and I'd say, Jamie, why?
What?
They were trying to stick in earmarks again?
Really?
Seriously?
And then he would tell me whether Paul Ryan put an end to it, at least for now.
Mike Pence has made the rounds on Capitol Hill today, telling GOP more lawmakers that he can be their liaison to the president and says everyone should buckle up for a lot of action next year.
That's good news.
No decisions yet on which bills are going to go forward.
I do have some insider information I will not share with the liberal media.
I always hate to hear that, but let's wait and see what the facts say.
It was a great piece.
So you've got to give a shout out.
Shrillery, how Matt Drudge won the 2016 election.
There is no doubt in my mind, without the alternative voice of social media leading with Drudge, That I think that I don't know, I don't think that Trump could have won because the meat mainstream media was so against him.
So I think it's I I he deserves a lot of credit for taking a stand, and he was criticized like everybody else.
And he was just given information that people can look at and make their own determination about.
What else do we got here?
You know, one of the things that Trump's gonna have to watch is there's a really good piece by Daniel Horowitz, who I like a lot.
Um how if you think federal policy matters, here's why conservatives have a once-in-a-lifetime legislative opportunity at the state level.
And that's on conservative review.com.
I don't have time to get into all of it right now.
Uh the media is freaked out by the Trump ditching of the press pool.
Howard Dean compared Trump's election to Kent State shootings and Selma Alabama's bloody Sunday.
This young generation, which I think is absolutely great, is uh used to doing everything on the internet.
They don't really like institutions, they don't need institutions.
If they want to change, they go on the internet, five find a half a million people who agree with them and they insist on the change, and they usually get it.
So this I really think this election, they're so disheartened, so down and so uh tired and discouraged.
Uh this may be their Kent State or their Edmund Pettis Bridge, where you finally realize that you gotta do something.
You can't, you know, the the path of uh as Martin Luther King said that the arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice.
Well, that's you know, it only bends towards justice if you make it bend towards justice.
And so I we've got to reach out to these these folks.
That's become a new thing that they're doing on college campuses, open letters by everybody.
Clinton victory fantasies.
That's a new one, by the way.
They floated, you know, assassination fantasies, implied threats of insurrection.
I mean, it's unbelievable what's going on.
So the biggest temper chant tantrum I've ever seen in my life.
Hey, you want the bet when Comrade de Blasio met with uh Trump.
And by the way, he doesn't care that all of the expensive shops like Gucci and Tiffany, uh that they're screwed because nobody can get there because of the traffic.
Oh, what about the poor guy that works there or the poor woman that works there?
Based on current surveys of public opinion in the United States, uh it turns out that the majority of Americans think I've done a pretty good job.
Uh that we haven't, in fact, gone too fast uh as you describe it.
Uh but what is certainly true is that the American people, just like the German people, just like the British and people around the world are seeing extraordinarily rapid change.
The world is shrinking, economies have become much more integrated, and demographics are shifting because of the internet and communications, the clash of cultures is much more direct.
People feel uh I think less certain about their identity, less certain about economic security.
They're looking for some means of control.
And uh what that means is that uh the politics in all of our countries is gonna require us to manage technology and global integration and all these demographic shifts uh in a way that makes people feel more control,
that gives them more confidence in their future, uh, but does not resort to simplistic answers or divisions of race or tribe or the crude nationalism, which I think can be contrasted to the pride and patriotism that we all feel about our respective countries.
Um I think that our politics everywhere uh are gonna be going through this bumpy face.
I'm really great.
I really am I'm so good, I'm so great.
You know, let's forget some mere facts.
You know, why let facts get in the way of a of a good old narrative, right?
If you're if you're Barack Obama, let's see, since uh he's been president, thirteen Senate seats went from blue to red.
Sixty-four house seats went from Democrat to Republican, fourteen governorships went from Democrat to Republican.
Thirty entire state houses have gone from Democrat to Republican.
And that doesn't even include my normal numbers, you know, 13 million more Americans on food stamps and eight million more in poverty, 50 million in each category, and 95 million Americans out of the labor force, and the worst recovery since the forties.
But don't worry, Obama and his own brain thinks he did a great job.
But maybe he thinks he did a good job in Libya or Iraq or Syria or that Russian reset.
I don't know.
We're here to tell us uh who owes me a huge amount of money after the election is Austin Goolsby.
Now, before you claim I didn't bet you, we have the tape.
So I want you to know you're about to be held accountable.
Okay, play it.
No, I don't have it with me.
Oh, the tape proves me right.
No, there is one.
I I I said you had the tape.
But listen to me.
We made a bet.
We had a dinner bet.
I wanted to bet you all along a lot of the bigger.
I said dinner.
That's so not true.
That is so that's like you saying that the Obama economy is good.
That's like you saying that Obama That's like you saying that Obama's been really good on the debt and deficits.
That's like Obama saying that he's a great president.
You said yes, let's bet.
Finally.
I did.
The fourth try.
I did.
Okay, let's do it.
So I thought it was the usual bet.
We bet.
I thought it was the usual bet.
I paid off the last time.
I took you and your wife by the way, your wife was not included as part of the package of our bet, but I bought her dinner anyway.
One of the times.
And by the way, did I get a cheap bottle of wine?
Did I bring Boone's Okay, I got an expensive bottle of wine.
I said anything on the menu at an expensive steakhouse, and I took care of my b and on top of it, because you were whining so much, I even gave you a Ruth's Chris Gift certificate on top of that.
Okay, so now that's what I was gonna say.
I'm gonna send you I think there's eight dollars left on that Ruth Chris card.
I'm gonna send you back that card.
Wait a minute.
You have eight dollars.
Why didn't you give it to the waiter and a tip?
Typical liberal doesn't want to eat does want everything for free and doesn't want to give a tip.
Oh my gosh.
Uh well anyway, how do you feel uh you can't you're not gonna drink this Kool-Aid and say that Obama's such a good president that his bad presidency, that the horrible economy we're in, that the horrible uh state of world affairs.
First of all, you need to update your numbers.
Hang on, didn't you?
I don't feel good, as you might imagine, because your man won the presidency in the opposite of a landslide, but he did win.
Well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Well, what's he up to three hundred and six electoral votes and going higher than Ronald Reagan's was when he left office.
So you better be a little careful.
Excuse me.
Ronald Reagan left after having created real total jobs, twenty m twenty one million new jobs, the longest peacetime uh period of peacetime growth in economic history.
He excuse me, excuse me, he's one of our greatest economic presidents.
You can't say that about Obama when you have thirteen why wasn't he more popular when he left office.
Well, he actually was.
I mean, if you look at even recently Obama's popularity is above Reagan's at this point in his office.
Well, let's see, let's see how how history serves President Obama.
I guarantee you.
Now one of the reasons I would argue we saw this in WikiLeaks, you even have to be upset at the fact that that the New York Times and Politico were allowing the Clinton campaign to sign off on any article they wrote.
You've got to be upset that CNN was feeding questions to Hillary Clinton.
You've got to be upset.
But those are two feeding the questions, that was that was pretty much.
That was pretty bad, right?
That did not that was not.
By the way, politico wrote an article about me today.
They didn't give me they didn't even ask me a question.
Never mind have editing authority.
No.
The the but on those other By the way, you gotta see my painting I bought.
It's called The Forgotten Man and Obama's in it.
He's stepping on the Constitution.
Oh, please.
But now listen, if what happened there was one of those cases that I was familiar with.
As you know, it is normal to say when you're interviewing with someone, if you're on background, say, Look, I'm gonna say w we're gonna have an interview, and then when it's over, you we have quote approval.
Republicans and Democrats do that all the time.
That's different than saying you have say over what the person is writing in their article.
So if what they were talking about is quote approval and making sure that what they said was correct and accurate, I have no problem with that.
If what it was is, hey, will you write my story for me?
I do have a Okay, let me tell you what we know.
We know that Donald Trump never got that opportunity.
Oh, we don't know.
Oh, wait a minute, hang on.
We know well, WikiLeaks didn't show any example of them often.
But I mean Breitbart has got many examples.
Bright Bart a minute.
Well, you have to give me a specific example because the New York Times was exposed, si uh the uh the politico was exposed, CMBC was exposed, CNN is the worst, MSNBC, NBC.
That's a case that I know well.
That was one which was about quote approval.
Excuse me.
No, CNBC was about John Harwood, who was John Harwood accurate in a d can you clear this quote.
John Harwood was giving advice to the campaign as WikiLeaks pointed out, and he was bragging ha ha ha to the Clinton campaign that he got under Donald Trump's skin because he was colluding with the Clinton campaign.
That's not No, no, no, no, no, no, stop.
You can't you can't have it both ways.
And you know that I will often say when you have a critique that is legit, I will often say, yes, that's fair.
I think you're being a little unfair to Harwood.
He he was he was not colluding with or rooting for the Clinton campaign.
That that's okay.
Let me let me tell you where you're wrong.
Because if he's gonna moderate a debate and he's offering the campaign advice which was proven, and he is uh and and he is bragging to the Clinton campaign, hey, I got under Donald Trump skin.
That is not a human being that is objective, fair, and balanced.
That's somebody that has an agenda, which by the way, I make my living having opinions.
But the difference between the difference between good living you make.
And the difference between me and John Harwood is I'm honest.
The difference between me and the New York Times, I'm up front and honest.
They are sneaky, they lie to their li their viewers, their readers, their listeners, they're phony, they're corrupt, and journalism in America is dead.
I think you're going I think you're going a little overboard in in this case, because in the I mean which to say nothing, I don't I don't get your I I see why you like finding out the information in WikiLeaks, but I don't know why you're not more upset about about Obama's economy and and uh Well, first of all, there's no evidence WikiLeaks, by the way, WikiLeaks has never been proven wrong in eleven years.
Excuse me.
WikiLeaks has said this is not the Russians.
Now I know that's what they said, but give me one example.
Well, it's not seventeen as Hillary said in the middle of the year.
No, no, no, no.
Let's say that they turn on President Trump and they start revealing a bunch of national secrets about President Trump and his administration.
I think you're gonna feel differently about the.
Let me let me tell you how I feel.
When this first started with Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, my biggest fear was that innocent people were gonna die as a result.
Methods and and people.
That's a good that's what you should say.
That's what my now, here's what I think we are missing with WikiLeaks that is a good thing.
Two things that I think we should benefit from WikiLeaks.
Number one, it exposed that we have no cybersecurity.
In a backhanded way, WikiLeaks has done us an enormous favor.
And the favor is now America's on notice.
At sixteen years of age, Julian Assange was able to break into the Department of Defense and to NASA.
So we don't have cybersecurity.
And if you don't have cybersecurity, you're not a nation with secrets.
So the good news is it's been exposed.
We now have an opportunity to fix the problem.
Issue number two.
We discovered how deeply, deeply corrupt, what a liar and a phony and a fraud both Hillary Clinton is and the news media is.
I've been on radio now for thirty I've been hang on, let me finish.
I've been on radio for thirty years.
I understand why you're happy with what information you gathered.
But but uh believe me, the Russians or whoever is supplying Assange with the with the cyber power that he is gathered, when they turn on Trump and start releasing really detrimental information, you're not gonna be pleased.
And I'm not gonna be pleased either.
Even though I don't uh favor Donald Trump, I don't like him.
I really do not like foreign entities going in and taking this the private messages from the U.S. government So now that it's been now that it's been exposed totally wrong.
What are we gonna do to fix it?
Because at the end of the day, now that we know there's a problem, my answer is we better fix it.
Yeah, I agree with that.
So and the second thing is, you know, we learned here that what I said back in two thousand and eight when I was vetting and doing the media's job and vetting your buddy Obama.
And exposing ABC radio.
Uh excuse me.
When I was vetting Obama at a level that nobody could even compete with, I'm the one that gave it.
Okay, who gave George Stephanopoulos the question about Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorn?
Do you want to know who gave it to him?
You you did.
Yeah, I gave it to him right on my radio program.
That guy on ABC radio, which is why you are What guy on ABC Radio?
The guy Tom Joyner.
Tom.
Oh, you mean the guy that played after the girl got bit by a shark and he was they they were singing a song Biting Whitey.
Another shark bite.
Yeah, this this is another shark bite.
This took place in Hawaii.
This little girl is supposed to be a surfing champion.
Yeah.
13 years old.
Went out with her best friend and her friend's father.
But she was lying on the board off of Kawaii's North Shore.
A shark bit once and then disappeared.
So there's they're they're laughing at an 11-year-old little girl, 10-year-old little girl, uh Stephanie Hamilton is her name.
I'm sorry, Bethany Hamilton.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
No, no, no.
It's not a matter about being fine.
So you're you're quoting a guy that sings racist songs as a legitimate news source.
Is that am I getting that accurate?
The guy's in the radio hall of fame.
He's on ABC.
I didn't ask you.
Is what you just heard.
Excuse me.
She's one of the most important things.
Is what you just heard.
You're not going to stop me from asking my question.
Is what you just heard racist.
I couldn't hear it.
I was talking.
I'll play it again.
Well, no, let's play it again.
This is about a little eleven-year-old girl.
Another shark bite.
Yeah, this this is another shark bite.
This took place in Hawaii.
This little girl is supposed to be a surfing champion.
Yeah.
13 years old.
Went out with her best friend and her friend's father.
But she was lying on the board off of Kawaii's North Shore.
A shark bit once and then disappeared, taking her left arm just below the shoulder.
Wow.
She said nobody saw it happen, but everybody heard her.
Yeah, a shark just bit me.
Wow.
Sing it, player.
If you're inside of the building.
laughing Stay out the war to white people.
Shark won't bite you.
That's why he keeps on.
Keeps on biting white.
I don't have time to play anymore.
Is that racist, Austin?
I don't think it was racist, but it was certainly in racially bad taste.
Racially bad taste.
An eleven-year-old girl had her arm bitten off by a shark, and they're making fun of it, and the shark is a only bites white people.
That's not racist.
No, their theme of their jokes.
The theme of their jokes.
Here's what white people.
And that's your news source.
Okay.
All right, I'm gonna leave it there.
Austin Goolsby thinks that is a legitimate news source.
Maybe we'll put it up on Hannity.com as a question.
Do you think that show is a legitimate news source?
I just want to say thank you.
You saved me in so many ways.
In recent years, um I've been struggling um with an incurable illness, and I'm on home care now.
It was caused by a doctor's medical negligence.
And in those dark days, fighting.
Um right now all the tubes have been removed, and I have a do not resuscitate order, and I have a seven-year-old son in those days in the hospital.
I received from you a handwritten letter that said to the bravest woman I know.
I remember that.
Yeah, I remember that.
And you um such a wonderful beautiful woman.
I mean, just an amazing woman.
And are you are you doing are you coming along okay?
Um no, sir, but um that's okay, because I'm here right now to thank you in person, and that was my biggest dream.
And I wanted to thank you because through you and your organizations, my son, who is Mexican American, seven years old, through your organizations, and just being able to stand on that stage with you back in 2005.
The outpouring of love that came from that.
Um ultimately provided my son when he graduates high school with a um a full ride to college.
Oh, and you know what we'll do?
We're gonna watch him.
You're gonna watch him, Danny.
Then I watch him.
We're gonna be watching your boy.
Okay, but you're gonna hopefully be around.
You're not gonna have to have anybody watching.
You're gonna hopefully be around.
Those doctors are gonna be so wrong.
But we'll be helping you.
All right, you may remember that.
By the way, 25 till the top of the hour, 800 941 Sean.
That was Melissa Young.
Um, I actually have become friends with her.
And she I just talked to her, I guess it was when the night that Trump won, she sent me some really cool pictures, and I checked in with her, and she made it to New York, and she had said it to me at the time that her dream was to live long enough to see Donald Trump get elected.
Remember, she was one of the women.
If you if you think back, she was a former Miss Wisconsin, and she was one of the women that came out and said, you know, stop slamming smearing Donald Trump like Carrie Pryjan and so many others.
I can't list all their names, but they were coming out saying, No, this man helped us, this man was kind to us, this man is not uh Rowan Brewer.
Lane was another.
There's so many women that came out and said, No.
What this this is a lie what they're saying about Donald Trump.
And I would say it probably had a very big impact on this election.
So she made it, she said her dream was to live long enough to see Donald Trump get elected.
Now what the public doesn't know is that Donald Trump is the one that put made her a promise to send her son to college when he's of age.
I think her son is what, eight and uh so she's been struggling with this really difficult autoimmune disease of hers, and it's impacted her heart, and basically she has the heart of a ninety year old woman.
Now, sadly, since election day last week, she has taken a very significant turn for the worse.
And um two of her friends are with us to update us on her condition.
And uh more importantly, we just wanted to send words of love out to her today, and then we'll get to your calls here in a minute.
Uh Chelsea Cooley is with us, and uh by the way, Chelsea is uh former Miss USA two thousand and five, Rose Tennant, we all know from the host of the Rose Unplugged radio show.
Uh welcome both of you.
Rose, what's going on?
She took a bad turn I hear.
Yeah, she did, and I have to tell you that thanks to you, I got to be friends with Melissa as well.
As a matter of fact, when you spoke with her election night, I was able to secure a ticket for her by working with Ashley at the Trump headquarters in New York.
And afterwards, she and were Lauren and I stayed up till five thirty in the morning.
She was so thrilled to be a part of that, Sean.
She really was.
This is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met in my life, inside and out.
And the thing is when people look at her, she's so beautiful, even now as she's dying, but they can't believe she's as sick as she is.
But she is sick, Sean.
And when I think about those words that Mr. Trump spoke, we're going to be watching your boy.
I think that's a mandate for all of us.
I think all of us and your listeners, we need to be watching her boy.
And because she's taken a worse, and there's some other things that have happened to her since election night.
As a matter of fact, one of these things did happen election night.
Um I I think we all need to be uh guidance and protectors of Melissa Young and her son, and there's and there's ways we can do it.
And I know Chelsea's going, Hi Chelsea, how are you?
Hey, I'm great.
How are y'all doing?
It's amazing.
By the way, I gotta give all of you credit, and I know that a whole bunch of you really have offered her such incredible support.
And uh and Chelsea, thanks for all that you've been doing to help her, and uh, but things aren't looking very good at all.
Well, you know, uh Melissa and I met on the Miss USA stage, and obviously I won and she got married and our lives took two totally different turns.
And when we reconnected several years ago, and I found out about everything that was going on with her medically, you know, being in North Carolina, I felt like I was a million miles away, and so God brought us back together in the most beautiful way.
Um I am her medical power of attorney now, but she is she's like my sister.
She's my best friend.
So what happened?
Somebody broke into her house as well.
On election.
So ever since she spoke out in March, she's received of course a lot of wonderful messages, but she's received a lot of hate mail.
And so on election night, someone actually tried to break in unsuccessfully, nonetheless.
But then early um Sunday morning, it was actually she and I have been on the phone for a while, late Saturday night, and within minutes of hanging up from her, they tried again a second attempt to break in.
They were unsuccessful in breaking in, but they did steal her family's car, and they did leave evidence that they would return and and possibly try to harm her.
And you know, just to paint the picture for you, Sean, you know, here is a mother that's laying in bed.
She's hooked up to Ivy's, especially at night, where she can get hydration and nutrition through her line.
And so when you're having to unplug from IVs, it is not a simple, quick procedure.
There's a lot of things that go into place with that.
And so here she is frantically trying to break loose, rush into her son's room to make sure that he is okay.
All she could do is cover him with her body until the police got there.
She was terrified, and now she's living in fear.
Amongst the worst possible circumstances, well, I'll tell you the first thing that I'm I'm gonna do.
I I'm gonna call my friends at Simply Safe Home Security, and uh we'll send over a complete system for her, everything she'll need to keep her family safe.
So we'll do that first and foremost.
And uh I guess you know, uh Rose, I mean, I hate to say that you know, I had such a personal private conversation about life and death with her.
Yeah, that she and I she made me a promise.
I can't say it on the air.
Okay.
But we had a very personal, very private conversation, and uh and she basically told me she knew that she wasn't gonna make it.
Yeah.
And so I said something to her, and she said something to me that I will forever remember for the rest of my life.
She was incredible.
Um, but let's get her the protection she needs.
Is there any anything we can do to help her family?
Is she financially okay?
I think that we should donate.
Chelsea set up a fund for her, and I think we should be donating, and I think that we need to pray for her and her family.
She told me today that the only thing that God has left her with is her voice, and she's been using that voice as weak as it is sometimes, Sean.
She uses it for a strong message.
And why right now she's just asking people, look, you know, we need to come together as a nation.
And the truth is, and and Chelsea and I talked about this earlier.
Melissa was telling us both that that everybody has a mom, and whether you're on the left or the right, whether you voted or didn't, how would you feel if your mother at the end of her life, a mother who only wants to spend her last days with her child was being terrorized?
I mean, how can you attempt to rob that mother, not just of her car, but of those final days spent with the very one that she loves so desperately.
So I'm asking for prayers too for her, and I definitely think we should all reach out and send whatever we can, whether it's five dollars or five hundred dollars.
I mean, I I think that God will put that too good.
All right, so I'll tell you what we're gonna do.
We'll put this up and and I'm gonna donate right off the top ten thousand to get it going.
Oh my god.
And Linda, you you you put that in the uh you make sure you put it in the GoFundMe account, you know who to write.
And you know, uh look, I'm not asking for people to put a lot of money in here.
If you put if you put fifty bucks, twenty bucks, a hundred bucks if you can do it, you know, s this kid's eight years old.
He's got a he's got a long life to live.
And imagine if it was your child, it would be very, very difficult.
And she went out on a limb sick as a dog to fight for Donald Trump in this election.
Um I'm gonna call Mr. Trump later and I'll make sure he gets word of her condition.
And uh and see if he can get in to contact with her.
But, you know, actually, this breaks.
I just I appreciate it more than you will ever know.
You know, when Melissa had the courage to to speak up about her message about Mr. Trump, you know, and just about the man that he is and the man that she and I both know him to be.
It wasn't about politics.
It was about her personal story with him, and she needed peace before she goes to heaven to know that she could properly thank him for all that he has done in her life, and it was a message to show her son that until your last breath, it doesn't matter if you have to army crawl your way there, it's worth standing up for what's right and for the people that have done right by you.
And so, you know, pushing all politics aside, this was a personal human story of the heart, and and so you know, the biggest thing that she wants to get across to everyone right now is that enough is enough, you know.
Everybody is hurting each other all because we disagree on something, and we have to come together now in love and respect for one another and move forward.
And so that is her prayer for us as a nation.
And um, she's just so indebted to you, Sean, and thanks the world of you.
So thank you so much for just shedding light on the story and and for continuing to show your support for her.
All right, guys, thank you both for being with us.
Thank you.
We really appreciate it.
And she's in our prayers.
Melissa Young, we'll put that up on our website.
She's got an eight-year-old little boy.
And uh well, if you can give I know everybody's struggling.
I I I have gone out of my way.
I'm not I don't ask people to spend money anymore.
You know, what's one of the reasons we don't do concerts because people can't afford this anymore.
That's how bad this Obama economy has been.
But you know, maybe in the spirit of Thanksgiving, Christmas, you can give a little bit.
Uh it's on my website.
Um I'm gonna lead by example.
I don't care if it's ten dollars, five dollars.
It's whatever you can.
It's uh it's an eight-year-old boy that's got to grow up.
Uh all right, let's get to our busy uh telephones as we say hi to Ted is in Dover, Delaware.
Ted, how are you, sir?
Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, how are you doing, Sean?
It's been a while.
Boy, this has been one heck of uh election year.
First of all, my prayers go out to the family.
And first of all, I want to say you're a real class act, man.
Thanks, brother.
Thanks, my friend.
God bless you.
Listen, aren't you happy?
Don't you feel a sense of you know, and it's not by the way, arrogant, happy, it's not, oh, we won you lost, none happy.
It's not that for me.
It's you know, I just feel happy that I really feel we've got a shot at correcting what has gone so wrong in this country and and getting people opportunity and and and hope back.
Well, you've been vindicated, like I said, if anybody hasn't told you you took a lot of arrows in in the last eight years, all I can say, man, is personally thank you for being our voice.
I'm gonna tell you, man, it got so frustrated, I couldn't listen to the radio, but I had to pick it up.
Thank you.
I mean, you kept you kept me going.
Remember what you said, let your heart not be troubled.
Brother, I was putting it all on you, man.
But let me tell you something.
We came through, and like you said, we're not doing no uh in zone in zone dance.
We got a lot of work to do.
No, I agree.
It's been you've been vindicated.
You've been vindicated for the last eight years, you've been um bringing the billing bills.
It's funny you say I'll tell you the one thing the media never got.
The statistics that I repeated again and again and again.
Who was I talking about?
The people in poverty on food stamps out of the labor force that can't buy a house that that haven't felt any benefit because there's no recovery, the worst recovery since the 40s.
That is the forgotten men and women of this country that went out and drove saying we want jobs, we want hope, we want opportunity, we want you know, get government off our freaking back because you're it the burden is killing us.
Anyway, thank you, Ted.
All right, buddy, appreciate it.
God bless you.
And uh Rich is in Chicago, the windy city, where Rom Rombo deadfish, your mayor, who by the way has presided over oh, last but since Obama's been president, well, 4,000, around 4,000 people in Chicago killed, vast majority black American, and this year alone, over 3,000 people in Chicago shot.
What a great track record, Rom Rambo deadfish.
Oh, and he says he's gonna love them.
Yeah.
I'm sorry to interrupt that.
Yeah, and he's gonna he's gonna always keep his city a sanctuary city and violate the law.
So maybe we can take him out in handcuffs and put him in the poker.
That would be a beautiful site and a justice, a site of justice in the country, finally.
Yeah.
I only got about 40 seconds.
It's all yours, though.
What's on your mind?
Okay, so uh earlier you played a clip from President Obama in Greedy, and it sounded like a classic example of what we call in the uh I'm a therapist, uh, what we call in the mental health uh community as a polya impulse.
Or it's it's like when a large group of people are like uh hypnotized by an enigmatic person like Obama or like Hitler or like Mao or like whoever, and they all have this delusional belief, this world belief that it has to be this way.
It can be no other way.
They're like stuck in this mindset liberalism that they just can't get out of.
And if it's like what just happened, is I wouldn't say shattering, yeah.
I guess maybe fracturing of the reality, they're having this neural meltdown.
You know, you you're really hitting on something that I believe in.
And I wish I had more time to analyze this with you.
Would you call us back next week?
Because I'm off tomorrow, and I would love to get into this deeper with you because Democrats, they're susceptible to lies.
That's why Democratic leaders say Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic every election season.
It's all predicated on a lie.
And that's why Obama, hope and change, people bought into rhetoric lies in the hopes that their lives would get better.
It never happened.
It never never became reality.
Can you name for me, Don, one white nationalist article at Breitbart?
Just one.
I saw that whole build-up segment.
I didn't see a single white nationalist article.
Not one.
There's an article, the offending the alt-right, and also the alt-right praises Breitbart, and and even he has said he is a platform for the alt-right.
So why traffic in that if if he doesn't support it?
It's important to draw a distinction between covering something and defending something.
We published an article several months ago explaining the alt-right, talking about which parts of it were more offensive, which parts of it were less so.
And that's not defending the alt-right.
That's explaining it.
In fact, the title, I believe, was something like explaining the alt-right to mainstream conservatives.
That's journalism.
That's not defense or advocacy.
So I think it's very important to understand the distinction between those two, and that's a distinction we made very clearly at Bright Party Still Make today.
You should read the entire article.
I think the article stands for itself.
I think it goes through the different components of the alt-right.
It's called journalism.
The New Yorker does it, the New York Times does it, CNN occasionally does it.
Well, here's what my colleague uh Anna Navarro tweeted today.
She said, folks, it's real simple.
Good, decent, inclusive Americans who believe in equality do not get praised by the American Nazi Party and the KKK.
So the question is, why does the President elect Trump want Bannon in the White House?
Well, let's put it this way you have the new Black Panther Party praising Barack Obama.
You have Obama sitting in Jeremiah Wright's church for twenty years, and he dissociated himself from the United States.
None of those people were not going to be able to do that.
Hold on, hold on.
No, he was a good idea.
If you're asking me to be honest in fact check, none of those people were advisors to the president.
He did not appoint any of those people when you're in the United States.
You're not applying the same standard to both people.
Barack Obama was the president and came from this environment.
Steve Bannon does not come from those environments.
And Anna Navarro and Evan McMullen have both lied openly about Steve Bannon.
They have both said he's an anti-Semite.
Evan is on your show tonight.
He can't defend that statement.
Kurt Bardella didn't even try didn't even try to say whether Steve Bannon is an anti-Semite or not.
So the entire premise of your discussion, Don, is Steve Bannon's an anti-Semite.
I think we've proven that to be false because Evan can't defend it, Kurt can't defend it, can't defend it.
And it's not true.
And I think that when you do this, this is what the media does what the establishment does.
They throw out a bunch of innuendo to try to smear somebody.
The most offensive thing Steve Bannon ever did was win the White House with Donald Trump.
And if it was up to these people, it would be Hillary Clinton picking the Supreme Court and consigning our democracy to decline.
And Steve Bannon deserves the praise of these folks, not their condemnation.
The point of this discussion is whether Steve Bannon's a white nationalist and anti-Semite.
I'm glad that we've put that myth to bed.
Now let's move on to talking about the question.
I don't think we put that myth to bed.
I think that's still a question about it.
Just because you say it, it doesn't mean that he's not.
Um and I don't know that he is, but he certainly he certainly traffics in it when he's saying that.
He made a business of it.
Yes.
He certainly did not.
You guys can't throw out lies like that and ask me to prove a negative when you can't even prove the positive.
I could say anything about you, Don Lemon.
You know, your network had a commentator the other night who said that the vote for Donald Trump was a whitelash.
Now, are you a black nationalist network because Van Jones said that there was a whitelash?
I mean, that's just ridiculous.
That's apples in pairs.
It's you're not missing a comparison.
It's exactly the same thing.
Wow.
That was Joel Pollock.
He's been a friend of mine for a long time.
I've known Joel.
He's the senior editor at large, in-house counsel at Breitbart News, and the author of the brand new book, 19 Hard Truths that the left refuses to see, hear, or speak about.
And he was on the Clinton news network, and uh and that's the way the Clinton news work rolls.
And that they they move forward with slander, smear, besmirchment, not only of Donald Trump this entire campaign, but in this particular case it was against Steve Bannon.
What one of the best parts of that debate, Joel, is when you said, All right, give me one example of where Breitbart or Steve Bannon have been, you know, either racist or anti-Semitic.
And they couldn't give you an answer, could they?
No, and that's the nature of this kind of allegation.
It's just designed to marginalize and freeze the target in Solalinsky terms.
They just throw that stuff out there.
They feel no obligation to prove it.
And that's what I showed is that they couldn't prove it, not even with one piece of evidence.
Yeah, I mean, it's pretty amazing.
Now, you happen to be, and and we're friends, so I know this, and and you're very out there about your faith.
You're an Orthodox, you're you're Orthodox Jewish in your faith.
You're you you absolutely follow, you know, strict adherence to the Sabbath, is that correct?
And and all of these important things in your life, which by the way, I admire as this is a country founded on Judeo-Christian principles.
And so many other people, Pam Geller wrote me a note so angry the other day at how they're treating Bannon.
And a number of other people of the Jewish faith, friends of mine have written similar things because they feel this charge against Bannon is so unfair, and you have been probably the the loudest, the most articulate voice in favor of Steve, and I want you to address what they're trying to do to him.
Well, they're trying to make him toxic, and they're trying to do that so they can get to Donald Trump.
And they're trying to get to Donald Trump so they can get to the 61 million people who voted for Donald Trump.
You know, those sixty-one million people heard all of this stuff in August and September.
All of these things were already said.
This was all an argument that was had and it was ignored.
And the 61 million people looked past all the nonsense and the political correctness and the innuendo and they just went to the polls and voted for change.
And now the media is trying to punish them for doing that.
And they're re regurgitating, recirculating all this stuff that has no basis whatsoever.
And they're trying to deny the reckoning that has to come for the way they conducted themselves during this election.
The media missed the story.
They missed the anger, they missed the desire for change.
Even Michael Moore was telling them you're gonna lose Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania unless you listen.
It's amazing.
Michael Moore actually listed the state well in advance, and he was warning them.
And you've got liberals like Thomas Frank telling the media, hey, you guys have to learn the lesson.
Stop talking down to people, start listening to people, but they don't want to learn that lesson, so they want to relitigate, regurgitate everything that they tried during the election.
And you know, I say keep doing it because if you wanted to unify conservatives, this is the way to do it.
Well, look, I gotta tell you something, I just think that nobody saw this coming.
Do you know how many people said to me that you know the day after election day, Hannity, your career's over, you're done, you're finished.
And I said, Well, maybe it is, but people said that in two thousand and eight and two thousand and four and two thousand and twelve and in two thousand.
So I guess uh I guess I must be doing something consistently right, because I think I was pretty dead on in my predictions about how bad Obama would be as a president, and I always said that Donald Trump can win.
Yes, he can.
I'd say it's not easy.
The electoral map is never easy for a Republican.
But the reason he won is because I regurgitated every day what the reason was.
Americans out of work, in poverty, on food stamps, uh, that can't get jobs and can't advance their lives, and government has become the hugest obstacle in their lives.
And then this this was as big a choice election, maybe even bigger than Carter and Reagan.
We'll find out in the end.
Who knows?
So I I think you know, and Steve Bannon to his credit played a very big part, as well as Kellyanne and as well as you know, everybody around Donald Trump in structuring the message to what I call the forgotten man and the forgotten women.
Those people that the fifty million in poverty, the fifty million on food stamps, the ninety-five million out of the labor force.
That's what this election to me was all about.
That's right.
And you know that because you talk every day to the listeners of this show, and you hear their concerns and and you debate people who disagree with you and and you have your finger on the pulse.
Most journalists don't.
And I was on the traveling press plane with Donald Trump for the last two weeks, and I would wander into the crowds at these rallies, and people didn't know I wrote for Breitbart, they just saw I was with the press.
And people, especially women, would come up to me and they would grab my elbow and say, Stop ignoring us.
Stop ignoring us.
I'm a college educated woman, I'm a business owner, I'm a mother, I'm supporting Donald Trump, and I'm a smart person, and you guys keep demeaning us.
And they really felt like the media was not listening to them.
And the media really wasn't.
I mean, at the last big rally, or second to last one in New Hampshire the night before election day, Donald Trump read a letter that he got from Bill Belichick saying what a great guy he was or whatever, and then he went into a speech which was historic because it was the first time a Republican presidential candidate was appealing directly to the working class of America, telling them that they were going to strike back.
What did the media fixate on?
They didn't talk about his words to the working men and women.
They talked about Bill Belichick and was the letter real and could it have been written differently?
And and they missed completely what Donald Trump was telling the voters.
The Bill Belichick stuff was sort of decoration.
The real message was we're gonna take our country back.
They didn't report that part, and that's why it surprised them twenty-four hours later.
Yeah.
Well, I think that we now have a media in wait.
And the weight is is they're um remember when Dan Quayle was appointed as vice president, and they went on their infamous quail hunt and and their goal was to smear and slander this guy.
By the way, a very decent man, hard working, successful, but they didn't want to hear it.
So, you know, i it's very funny because like this little pipsqueak that works over at CNN, Brian Stelter, you know, he tweets out and he sends a message.
Media accessibility was a winning strategy for Trump in the primaries.
How about trying it again now as president-elect?
And I I tweeted back, I said, Hey uh Pip Squeak, why should at real Donald Trump ever go on CNN again?
CNN gave at Hillary Clinton debate questions, and they colluded with the DNC about what questions to ask Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Carly Fiorina.
And now, if I'm Donald Trump's campaign, or now President elect Trump's transition team.
I'm looking at the revelations of the New York Times.
I'm looking at the revelations about CNN and CMBC and MBC and MSNBC and the Boston Globe and basically every other major media outlet.
And my attitude is why should he?
He should transcend the media.
Do what he did during the election.
Go on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, go on shows that will actually allow him to give a full answer.
And you know, he doesn't need these people anymore.
The world has been transformed.
There is a media revolution going on before their very eyes, and then just not uh in tune to it, apparently.
Well, and he wouldn't be the first, by the way.
We had President Obama going to YouTube stars and Zach Galafanakis and all this kind of alternative media stuff, so there's certainly a precedent for that.
But look, some of these journalists that I met and got to know are are nice people.
But there's also a narrative that they work within, which just shuts out the other side in many cases.
And there are exceptions.
There are some good journalists out there who really get the story.
But overall, the narrative controls everything in the media, and the focus at all of these Donald Trump events was much more on a trip on now.
I want you to listen to this montage that we found.
I mean, because it just shows how God awful they were and how absolutely flawed they are.
Listen to this.
This will blow your mind.
Donald Trump just last week he confirmed to the National Review that he is again considering a run in 2016.
Do it.
I will probably write you a count by 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.
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 a 75 or an 80% favorite.
We have a different person.
Oh, has Hillary Clinton up by double digits nationally, 12 points, 15 to 38 in four-way 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.
Uh 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.
Come on, come on, buddy.
We have a major projection right now.
Donald Trump will take OHI.
That's CNR projects.
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'll tell you.
But so good, isn't it, Joel?
I'll give you the last word, because I think this is what we're going to expect when every appointment is uh announced.
I think that whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, you can enjoy that montage because it's about somebody who gets picked on, bullied, and made fun of coming back and proving that they can do it and they can succeed.
And there's something really American about that.
And I hope everybody can take heart from that.
All right, Joel.
I uh I appreciate you shedding some light.
You know, the charge of racism anti Semitism is so awful.
It is so god awful.
Nobody would ever want it.
And that's why liberals and the left do it all the time.
And that's what that's absolutely to me unreal.
Love your work, sir.
Thank you.
Hope to see you soon.
So if you hear food in my mouth, there's a reason for it.
Because my good friend John Macklemore, CEO of Master Built, they've got this butterball turkey fryer that you can cook your Thanksgiving turkey in, and it is the juiciest, the best, the most delicious turkey you've ever had.
You know how turkey's dry when you put it in the oven.
No, that's not the case here.
And you've heard me bragging about my my master built smoker.
I use it all the time.
Uh the great thing about that is you can literally turn it on and off from remote locations.
Uh listen, I'm telling you right now, I'm a better turkey chef than Martha Stewart.
I make better ribs than Martha Stewart.
I because I have master built.
And I'm still only remote.
How are you doing, my brother?
Good to see you.
Sean, I I'm telling you, that's what everybody's saying out there is that you know, Master Built is making folks chefs in their own backyard.
I know, you keep talking.
Yeah, so you keep talking with your mouthful.
No, here's the thing.
This this is for example, I always think chicken is more juicy than turkey.
Yeah.
Not with master belt.
No way.
Well, what we we've done is we've got technology with a turkey fryer that is built to commercial standards that people can use safely indoors.
And it allows you to flash fry your turkey in about an hour.
So we showed up here, okay, and we fried a turkey, a 15-pound turkey, four minutes per pound in 60 minutes.
So you find it.
By the way, what is that in an oven?
That's an oven that's four or six six, seven hours.
That's right.
And you don't have to worry about it being dry.
And I don't care how many times you baste a turkey.
You take your turkey baster, you shoot it all over the turkey.
You don't have to do anything.
Yeah, but it doesn't work.
Because it doesn't get deep down into the turkey.
When you actually use the the butterball turkey fryer, you know, it's so juice, every bite is juicy.
Everybody's and you know the thing is people want to have that peace of mind to have a safe way to fry their turkey.
There's no flame, there's no fear, and the time is amazing.
Instead of having to get up at three o'clock in the morning, you can have your turkey done super quick.
So if you're gonna have Thanksgiving lunch, you can have your turkey done in and about an hour.
Yeah.
And freeze up that oven for all those casseroles.
Now that's the thing, because in the olden days, people would would take a bunch of oil, they'd throw it in a pot, they'd they'd put down the turkey, and what would happen.
Yeah.
In their backyard, they're blowing the fire department.
We have for twelve years, Sean, we have never in twelve years never overheated oil with the butterball turkey fryer, but the technology controls the temperature and gives you a few.
Give me some examples of what you heard though over the years, people frying their own turkey, their own homemade contraption in the backyard.
Yeah, and you have to worry about it.
It's like a meth lab.
Good luck.
Well, we're solving all of that.
And you you're a big football fan, right?
Yeah, of course.
Okay, so imagine Thanksgiving is over.
What else do you want to fry in your butterball turkey fryer?
Buffalo wings.
Love that.
Three to five pounds of buffalo wings.
We do Southern Fries.
How long would that probably take like three minutes?
Oh, uh if you put three pounds of buffalo wings in the turkey fryer, it takes about 14, 15 minutes.
Unbelievable.
And here's the other thing.
You like low country seafood boils.
You instead of putting your your oil in the turkey fryer, you put in water and you can boil and steam with the same product.
So and by the way, you can use it for vegetables.
You can use it for healthy cooking.
You can use it for healthy cooking, but I'm gonna tell you something.
When you think of deep frying a turkey and that juice and that flavor, it is actually people are asking, is it nutritional compared to oven roasting a turkey?
Depends what kind of oil you use.
If you use peanut oil, it only uses two tablespoons of oil when you fry turkey.
So the the nutritional facts are so amazingly close, and the flavor and the taste and the time and the ease, it is absolutely the best turkey.
It it you'll ever eat.
This is not even close.
If you've never fried a turkey, and the only way you've had a turkey is a conventional oven.
You you've not lived.
No.
It is it is an experience.
Number one, you as you say you're gonna free up the oven.
You don't gotta wait the seven hours.
You don't have to stick to stupid temperature contraption in it.
Nope.
You don't have to wait for that stupid thing to pop out that never works anyway.
Yeah.
And I tell you.
And then the you you cut up the turkey and it's all dry and falling apart.
And look, I remember carving those turkeys.
And they just never carved well.
This carves perfectly.
Yeah, ask Governor Huckabee.
He loves our turkey fryer.
And we have cooked on Fox and Friends with him.
We're gonna be there this Saturday.
Frying some turkeys for everybody there.
And Sean, it's it's about allowing people to relax and be able to spend more time on the things that matter most.
Instead of having to fret over the meal, we're gonna make it easy.
We're gonna make it safe.
We're gonna free up your oven.
We're gonna save folks time, and when they sit down at the dinner table, they're saying that is the best turkey I have ever tasted.
MasterBilt wants everybody to enjoy their Thanksgiving and Butterball Turkey Fryer allows them to do that.
But it's also safe.
It is safe.
You can do it in your kitchen.
You don't have to take it outside.
There's no risk of any fire.
Nope.
It only takes an hour.
It's the juiciest turkey you've ever had, the most delicious.
Yep.
Look, I just love it.
The only reason look, I'm not bringing you on here for no other reason except you're here, you're a friend, you're an advertiser, and I just love the product.
Yep.
Well, and you love the turkey.
Yeah, I just finished the whole plate of it.
Yeah.
So I tell you, um, Sean, Master Build has been a family business for 43 years.
I'm second generation.
My son John is gonna be third generation.
And we have built products that change the way people cook at their home.
And our smokers, you're a big lover of our smokers, the turkey fryers.
It allows people to take recipes that they love to do, but they typically don't want to do them because they're they're scared of them.
They've got that intimidation factor.
My wife Tanya's here with us today, and and she we have years, never oven.
I want to ask her why did you marry him?
What what was the thinking behind this?
Yeah, that before.
I married way up, Sean.
Yeah, it's something like two.
This is like way out of your league.
Uh huh.
But yeah, you know, we just had a wedding a couple of weeks ago.
Our son John got married.
Uh Michelle, yeah.
So we we've been very busy at MasterBilt.
Uh obviously this time of year crazy busy for all of us.
We got a link up on my website, Hannity.com, and I'm just telling my audience, Master Build products, they're smokers, their butterbolt turkey fryer is the best you've ever had.
Yeah.
And uh where else you can get them in every store you want, right?
Just about every retailer all over the country, Sean, from Sam's and Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's, the sporting good stores, Bass Pro, Cabellas, Amazon, QVC.
Everywhere has a digital product that we've got.
It's it's available.
You have your own website, masterbuilt.com, right?
MasterBilt.com.
So folks can get our recipes, talk to our customer service department, and and get a product that you can relax with Thanksgiving.
So we and we love the relationship here, Sean.
We've uh definitely built a great friendship and um Listen.
The fact that you do this for me every year is like such a treat for me because I come in, I didn't eat all day knowing you were gonna be here.
You know what's funny is uh I remember how you and I got actually linked up.
You were watching late night TV and I was frying turkey on an infomercial and I say I wanted these.
I actually ordered one.
Yeah, and it was Tuesday.
Yeah.
And we got it here the very next day.
You fried your turkey, so it's great.
And it it is.
You know, you know why I had to order a new one?
Somebody in my family stole my turkey the my butterball turkey fryer.
So they won't own up to it.
And I'm really pissed off because you know what?
It's bad enough that I you know I try and be generous, you know, to everybody, and I'm like, you have to steal it.
Yeah.
You know, there's a thief in my family.
You know, we've had some video with uh folks delivering on UPS and FedEx, and the video shows people coming up to people's houses and stealing the butterball turkey fryer.
Um it's a great product.
So it's unbelievable.
And we and we got you two more sent out there, so you know we'll we'll work out the payment later, Sean.
No, I told you I've got to pay for them.
And uh because those are those are legal rules.
Yeah.
But we can but the payment you asked for is fair.
Yeah.
It's har it's hard as hell, but fair.
I mean, you're getting as great as MasterBilt Butterball Turkey Fryer is it's definitely a harder pull on my part.
Let me put it that way.
But I'm gonna get it done.
Yeah, you're gonna get it done.
Listen, I got a roll.
John uh MacLamore, CEO, Master Built.
It's up on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, and every store, Sam's Walmart, Target, Decay Mark.
Everybody all right, man.
Yeah, and MasterBilt.com for the recipe.
Oh, there's a two minute video of me frying a turkey showing folks step by step so it takes one hundred percent of the guest work out of frying a turkey.
By the way, I it's so simple.
Uh a ten year old can do it.
Yeah.
It's so simple, even Sean can do it.
All right, you wise ass.
I used to be a cook in a restaurant.
All right, man.
Good to see you again.
Thanks for being with us.
Yes, sir.
All right, 800 941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Based on current surveys of public opinion in the United States, uh it turns out that the majority of Americans think I've done a pretty good job.
Uh that we haven't, in fact, gone too fast as you describe it.
Uh but what is certainly true is that the American people, just like the German people, just like the British and people around the world are seeing extraordinarily rapid change.
The world is shrinking, economies have become much more integrated, and demographics are shifting.
Because of the internet and communications, the clash of cultures is much more direct.
People feel uh I think less certain about their identity, less certain about economic security.
They're looking for some means of control.
And uh what that means is is that uh the politics in all of our countries is is gonna require us to manage technology and global integration and all these demographic shifts uh in a way that makes people feel more control,
that gives them more confidence in their future, uh, but does not resort to simplistic answers or divisions of race or tribe or the crude nationalism, which I think can be contrasted to the pride and patriotism that we all feel about our respective countries.
Um, I think that our politics everywhere uh are gonna be going through this bumpy face.
Oh, yeah, masterful job.
If I didn't promise I wouldn't repeat or regurgitate my statistics, I give them to you now.
Look, just look on the political side of this for one second here.
Since Obama became president in 2009, let's see, 13 Senate seats have been turned blue to red, Republican, 64 house seats, 14 governorships, 30 state houses.
That is unbelievable.
All right, Donna's in Staten Island.
Donna, do you think we're all better off because of the anointed one?
Oh my God, please don't even get me started.
You know, I told everybody for anybody that believes the numbers that he's putting forth based on quote unquote polls.
Take a look at what the polls were telling us about how Hillary was crushing it against Trump.
You can't believe any of these polls.
And all of these polls are all propaganda to prop him up, prop Hilder Hillary up.
And in the end, when the American people actually express what they believe and what they think and what they feel, it's not what he's talking about.
Not at all.
He is such they live in their own little fantasy world that the media creates for their for them.
It's not even legit.
It's just not.
Listen, I am going to you know, I'm gonna address this tonight because Obama also today was asked while overseas, you know, should these protesters stop?
And we've got video of some violence that has broken out, and we've chronicled it here on this radio program, and you know, these crybaby, oh, I need my aroma therapy, oh, I need my pet therapy, oh, I need a cry room at college.
You know, crybabies, you know what?
Some of them are getting violent.
The president had an opportunity to tell them to knock it off, grow up, get a life, but the president wouldn't do that because that doesn't fit in with his Olinskiite strategy.
Once an Alinsky disciple, always an Alinsky disciple, but I'm gonna lay out exactly.
He came in a radical and he's leaving a radical.
That's the that's the Obama that I warned you about in 07 and 08.
Unbelievable.
How about how he also whines about the use of social media and slogans?
Um, I remember eight years ago, didn't he have a slogan?
Didn't he use social media?
You know why they're so annoyed?
Because Trump did it even better than they did.
He took what they used a couple of years ago, and he did it tenfold and did it so much more effectively.
And that's why they're whining about that too.
I appreciate it.
Donna, you uh this is one hell of an election year.
Thank you.
You've been with us forever.
We love you.
We appreciate it.
And thank you for leading the way and giving a lot of us hope because it was getting really scary for a while there, but you were always a bright light for us.
So thank you.
Donna, that is my job.
And then you, the American people, everyone did your their job this year.
Tony in North Carolina.
Tony, we got a minute.
It's all yours.
Go.
So much, Sean.
Sean, I just wanted to tell you about an acronym I thought up for the for the voters that didn't have the election turnout like they hoped for.
And it's peeved.
P E E. V is in Victor, E. D. Post election extreme voter emotion disorder.
Yeah.
You know, it's listen, uh where does how did our grandparents ever deal with life without aromatherapy, without cry rooms, without hot cocoa from their their special counselors because they didn't like the election results.
Do you think part of it is, Sean, that this wasn't just being angry about Donald Trump, but the humiliation of los basically like a football team losing a game that real they were really favored to win.
Well, the media once again, remember look, the media has a lot of culpability here and and we've chronicled their bias.
But just like in the Trayvon Martin George Zimmerman case, they created an impression of what the outcome was gonna be.
They did it in the Michael Brown case.
They did it in the Freddie Gray case.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
The president's a four-time loser on those big issues.
They're always wrong and they always create a false expectation in people's minds, and they're guilty for that.
Well, Sean, I want to thank you for not just saving my sanity but regaining it.
