So I said about the women of the View that they've got like, well, except for Jeddah, four Rosie O'Donnells on their program now, and apparently got back to them.
And yes, we have an invitation to be on the view.
I'll deal with that later in the program today, but I'm I'm leaning towards it.
My staff is livid.
Absolutely insane.
They're going apoplectic at the idea that I'm even giving this consideration.
They're like disappointed in me.
Well, what do you think I am?
A potted plant, and I'm just going to sit there and take that nonsense.
You know, there's an article actually today that came out.
I mean, we've been chronicling a lot of this.
Um, how people just are losing their minds.
The newsbuster says a piece out.
Watch your uterus.
You know, as uh what are the what do they think?
Donald Trump is going after the uterus?
I mean, I'm reading this whole thing.
The panel blame Trump for mi taking away people's health insurance.
Uh already before warning that Mike Pence was going to take away women's rights and LGBT rights.
Well, what are they gonna do?
Send a send Mike Pence's army into your bedroom, just like Chucky Schumer suggesting that starting in January, Republicans declared war against the old people.
And all our friends down at the villages in Orlando, I've told you, you better start dusting off your muskets and and get those get those old pistols from World War II out because you're gonna need them.
It's ridiculous.
It's just fear mongering on a ridiculous notion.
And you know, I think if they think that that is what is going to happen, they're nuts.
But I think it's all part of you know, they're all in a collective meltdown mode here.
And you know, they're talking about conversion therapy, and they're talking about he has a lot of legislation against the LGBT.
It's personal, it's a big issue for me.
And I'm like, doom and gloom.
You know, you have Van Jones PR firm so upset at the election results.
They're working with Republican electors, the Electoral College to get them to vote against Trump.
You have women now so upset they are suffering from electile dysfunction, and they no longer have a sex drive.
We read that to you yesterday.
And as a means of empowerment, women all across the country are racing out to the local drug stores and grocery stores, and they're buying different hair colors like natural black by Garnier.
Like this woman, Juliana Evans.
She ran to her drugstore.
She was like, ah, eff it.
You know, the election deadened my soul.
I think I wanted to do something defiant so I can feel stronger.
And on top of that, you've got Daniel Salon, Danielle Salon in DC.
Their disastrous effects of the Trump era are now too real.
Americans are reeling in all sorts of insidious and subtle ways.
And when you see that much blonde hair on the floor, you know something horrible is happening.
And that you see those straw-colored locks lay there and shattering the hearts of Americans' children because the election has caused a tsunami of women demanding drastic changes to their hair color.
According to a report in New York magazine, hairdressers are reporting an increase in women going to extremes.
Either black or platinum.
Anything but brown, Melania's color.
Experiencing a weight gain, call it November 8th gain.
Post election blues are causing some people to gain the Trump 10, says weight loss doctors, according to a report in people.
10 pounds in less than a month.
It's vital to eat quickly so as to store up fat against the coming wave of food shortages.
Donald Trump seemingly gaining control over every mouth in America.
I I'm not making this up.
And it gets worse.
What do you do here?
Valerie Jarrett, Trump's victory was soul crushing.
A punch to the stomach.
Tina Fay is warning America.
Prepare for a Nazi America under Donald Trump.
We're going to proceed with any kind of dignity if we're going to.
In an increasingly ugly world, I've got to write something, but we're in a world where the president makes fun of handicapped people and fat people.
How do we proceed with dignity?
You know, and then she goes on to warn about, you know, read the Nazi filmmaker, 800 page autobiography, and then call it a a year.
I'm like, really?
She also rolled with the punches.
Well, he's the Fuhrer, she said.
He's my president.
I'll make films for him.
She did something terrible.
Terrible, terrible things.
I remember reading her book 20 years ago, thinking this is a real lesson to be an artist who doesn't roll with what your leader is doing just because you're a leader.
Michael Moore, Republicans in Congress will pass an onslaught of suffering on the American people.
I don't know what else to say.
Lena Dunham, poor Lena.
Look at this picture of Lena Dunham.
She's in a bathroom, rolled up in a ball with I I don't even know how to describe this accurately.
I mean, looking like she's in a mental institution because of what's happening.
Oh my God, Donald Trump picked three generals, three military guy to work for him.
Oh my gosh.
This is a disaster, an unmitigated disaster.
David Brock, he now wants a bright part on the left because he feels they need to be more liberal, more radical, more socialist, more extreme.
Anyway, that's enough of that.
That's about all I've got.
They're so nuts.
Although I love that music.
That music is so good.
It really does put a chill in your spine, doesn't it?
Anne Coulter, I don't know, she wrote when she wrote this column, but it's right along with what I was saying last night on Hannity.
None of these people are going to be Donald Trump's friends.
Don't think that they are your friends.
And there's every indication.
I mean, Trump approval rating now is soaring in the post-election.
He's viewed favorably now by 50%, up from 33% in August.
A plurality of 47% want Congressional Democrats to mostly go along with the Trump agenda that Republicans have put forth in the first year of his presidency.
Only 28% say they should mostly oppose.
Well, because Americans probably want to see some progress in their country and in their lives after eight stagnant, horrible, atrocious years of Obama.
They're sick of it.
Trump vows to call every CEO's company is planning on leaving America.
Now, what's so bad about that?
Hannity's is this economic fascism.
That's all conservative write that.
I'm like, it's not economic fascism.
He's saying to the CEOs, hey, hold on.
Tell me the regulations that you need help with.
What's hurting your business?
Does a 15% corporate tax rate help you in your business endeavors?
If we create a better economic environment to stay here, is it in your best interest?
That's all that really is.
So he's pledging to call CEOs.
Well, it worked.
Why not do it again?
He's got a promise of $50 billion, 50,000 jobs, 1,100 carrier jobs.
Why not call and explain what he's plans to do for the economy?
And how he plans to roll back regulations, burdensome regulations by government.
How he plans to create a corporate environment where, yeah, they can make a bigger profit.
And yeah, they don't have to build overseas.
And yeah, there are a lot of Americans out of work, and we want to put Americans back to work.
What is so bad about any of that?
But in some people's minds, it's too much.
If you really want to see the left outrage, the we have some pretty funny news on Donald Trump's pick to head the EPA.
This is what Chris Cuomo said on CNN this morning when five people were watching.
Fossil fuel friendly.
We know that.
But he you know, he hasn't denied global warming.
He says it's far from settled.
He says the science is a very good thing.
That means he's not accepting the science.
No, no, that's acceptable.
That's okay.
It's okay to question it.
That's different.
Either you accept the science or you don't.
No, that's not what he's saying.
he's saying that the new he says nuance where you see black and white that it's either not nine percent of the scientific community says global warming is CNN says the numbers 90%.
But here's the deal.
Republicans, a lot of Republicans, and certainly something like 30% of voters, and they voted for Trump.
Agree with him.
And they think that in terms of the predictions and the forecasts, this is where he it comes in, that it's far from settled.
The predictions in the forecast.
Yes.
People thought blacks and whites shouldn't marry.
People thought blacks shouldn't be equal.
That doesn't mean that you accept it as fact as a leader.
Oh.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's go from there.
And there's Chris Cuomo.
You know, Chris, did you ever maybe think that all your anti-Trump ranting and raving is resulting in nobody wanting to hear a word of what you have to say?
And, you know, comparing the EPA pick Scott Pruitt to a flat earther segregationist maybe just a little bit extreme in your language.
Maybe you've gone off the top.
Maybe Tina Faye, maybe we should get rid of all Nazi analogies altogether, right?
I said this about conservatives that did this during the uh the early Obama years.
I'd watch these people on TV and hear them on radio, and they'd be one Nazi comparison after the other.
I'm like, okay, everyone needs to take a deep breath.
No one was more critical of Obama than me leading up to 08.
But we have survived, haven't we?
And hopefully now we can begin the process of undoing the damage and thriving.
And I was a little concerned, I've got to be honest, when I saw global warming fraudster Al Gore show up at Trump Tower the other day for a meeting that was supposed to be with Ivanka Trump.
And then we find out Gore spent most of the time with the President elect, and Gore came out saying the meeting went well.
And the last thing I wanted to see was Donald Trump and Al Gore getting on global warming.
Then thank God I read today that he even met with Leonardo Learjet limousine DiCaprio, who wants all the rest of us to ride our bicycles while he tools around in a 400-foot yacht and flies from New Year's in Australia to Vegas on a private jet, and he's lecturing us about the lives we live.
Well, I'm happy to report that any concern that Trump was going soft on these global warming hoa sters uh hoaxers was completely unfounded.
The guy he just tapped ahead the EPA is is being ripped to shreds by the New York Times today as a climate change denialist.
What, that he didn't buy into when they first said that a new ice age is coming in the 70s, which evolved into Al Gore suggesting the Earth was burning up and had a fever and we need to treat it like we treat our child with a fever.
What are we going to give the Earth give the Earth advil or Tylenol?
You know, what's how do you treat the planet?
I mean, now they've just gone to a generic term, which is climate change, because if it's too hot, they can always say that's climate change, too cold, climate change, tsunamis climate change, no tsunami's climate change.
If it snows, climate change, if it doesn't snow climate change, if it's an extra cold winter, climate change, if it's a warm winter, climate change.
I mean, they just there's no evidence, but they would have you suggest it's all in.
The planet has a fever.
Yeah.
It has a fever.
You got to treat it like you would your own child.
So anyway, so in spite of meeting with Learjet Leonardo DiCaprio and what's the what's the jet that Gore we caught him in 2009?
Oh, Gulf Stream Gore.
Learjet Leonardo and Gulf Stream Gore.
Anyway, say goodbye to climate gate con jobs like Solindra.
Trump's not going to be pouring any more tax dollars into whim windmills that can't light a flashlight and Chinese solar panels that wear out in three years.
We've tried that experiment.
We wasted a fortune.
And Al Gore financially benefited from all this crap.
And maybe he thought that he heard something else during the Trump meeting, but anyway, President elect Donald Trump has selected Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma attorney general, close ally of the Fossil fuel industry.
Do you realize without energy we have no economy?
And energy is the lifeblood of our economy.
It provides you heat in the winter and cool in the summer.
And it provides all of your transportation needs.
By the way, not a moment too soon.
Anyway, the New York Times reports it this way.
Mr. Pruitt, a Republican, has been a key architect of the legal battle against Obama's climate change policy actions that fit the President elect's comments during the campaign.
And Trump has criticized the established science of human-cause global warming as a hoax and vowed to cancel the Paris Accord, committing nearly every nation to taking action to fight climate change.
By the way, you know what that means?
That the U.S. pays all the money, and all these other countries don't do a thing, and they burn more fossil fuels, pollute the environment more than the United States ever has dreamed of.
Anyway, Pruitt agrees with those views.
Anyway, he's a 48-year-old conservative activist, one of a group of Republican attorney generals who found an alliance with some of the nation's top energy producers to push back against the Obama regulatory nightmare agenda.
Fossil fuel interest greeted Trump's election with elation.
Thank God.
That's smart.
In spite of that, Michael Moore is urging Democrats to disrupt the Trump inauguration.
Alright, we'll get to all of that today.
And your calls.
We're gonna get to a lot of calls today.
800 941 Sean, you want to call in, be a part of the program.
We'll get to you in the next half hour and much more.
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 turned 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.
Donald Trump just last week he confirmed to the National Review that he is again considering a run in 2016.
Do it.
Look at me.
Do it.
Arcultilly brought you a counter 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.
Is that people think that Donald Trump is a clown?
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?
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 have a different person.
Nationally, 12 points, 50 to 38 force.
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.
Come on.
Come on, buddy.
We have a major projection right now.
Donald Trump will take Ohio.
That's the internet project.
Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida.
Huge win for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump will reproject in Kentucky within Indiana with its 11th electoral votes.
Yes.
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.
You know, that's my favorite of all times.
Uh saw a lady last night, won't give you the circumstances of it, and she literally told me to F off.
She goes, F off.
Now, her husband actually said, uh, congratulations.
This is how it all got started.
I said, Yeah, he goes, Congratulations.
It was a great, you know, victory for Donald Trump, and I know you were supporting him.
And he said, Congratulations.
And I said, Yeah, thank God.
She goes, What?
I said, Thank God.
She goes, F you.
Woo!
Where did that come from?
So I without missing a beat, you know what I said?
Merry Christmas to you too.
And then that you could just see just visceral.
Solar plexus anger coming at smoke flying out of this woman's ears about the election.
I'm like, really?
Where did that come from?
I'm such a nice guy.
I want everybody to like me.
I really do.
I felt like making her some hot cocoa.
I should have gotten her a dress and sent her some play-doh.
Why are you nodding your head that I enjoyed that too much?
Why?
Go ahead.
No, I find it very funny.
You know, the tolerant left, they're so tolerant.
They appreciate everyone's individual ideas except for when you don't agree with them.
And then all of a sudden, at a festive holiday engagement, they can turn around, spat off, and curse you out when they don't even know who you are.
It's pretty bad.
It's been insane.
I think you should send her some lavender bubbles and let her soak for a while.
I don't even know what her name is.
Actually, maybe she can use the same bathroom as Lena Donnell.
Maybe they can get in that stall together and then.
Maybe they get in the stall and cry and roll up in the ball.
It'll be great.
Cookies, milk, it's charming.
It's charming.
It's what the whole world should do.
Remember that Michael Jackson, that interview with Martin Bashir?
That was so creepy.
I don't remember that, bank up.
You really don't remember this?
So Martin Bashir does this, and then he asked him, well, why do you have children sleep in your bed that you're not related to?
I I mean, it was we actually have it.
Listen to this.
But when you say bed, we're thinking sexual.
They make that sexual sexual.
We're going to sleep.
They tucked them in.
We put a little music on.
Good music.
A little story time.
Read a book.
Little grabby baby.
Put the fireplace on.
Give them hot milk.
Hot milk, cocoa.
It's very charming.
Charming.
Very sweet.
Sure.
It's what the whole world should do.
What's wrong with sharing love?
You don't sleep with uh your kids or some other kid who needs love.
That creeps me out on such a level I can't even tell you.
That is so creepy.
That is so weird, so bizarre.
And you still see all of these specials about Michael Jackson all over television, like on VH1 and all these other music networks.
And like he's such a genius.
No, he was a creep.
Ugh, that's so creepy.
Bizarre.
All right, Adam in Montclair, New Jersey, a Democrat's mad on me, uh mad at me.
What's up, uh Adam?
How are you?
Listening to the all-new AM 710.
What's going on?
Hey, Sean.
Uh first of all, I want to say the lady who took the screen call.
Very nice.
Um doing a good job.
And uh That's Lauren, that's Sunshine.
By the way, I stole her dog.
Treeta's in here with me because Tree prefers to be in the studio with me during the show.
Treedy, come here.
Come here, Treedy.
Good girl.
Get over here, Treedy.
Good girl, Treaty.
What a good what a good dog.
Yeah.
All right.
Down treat.
Down.
No, no, Lauren gets mad.
You're gonna fail your test, Treat.
She's trying to train him to be a service dog, and Treat's not gonna make it.
Well, she's doing a great job, and I appreciate you giving me a chance to speak to you, even though uh I you know I express my that I'm independent.
Um and basically I just wanted to, you know, I don't I it frustrates me, you know, for somebody who says you love the country so much, and it's all about the country, like you're s you were so hard on Obama, you know, for you know, you're so hard on him, and it's almost seems like Trump can do no wrong.
And and I just want to say one thing real quick.
Well, could I just can I just let's go over this for a second?
Okay, I warned you one thing really quick, really quickly.
Go ahead.
I'll let you talk and you can cut me off.
I'm not trying to cut you off.
No, I know, but I I appreciate it.
I know.
Uh all I want to say is yesterday I was watching your show, and you said that I cannot see one piece of evidence where Obama eat years, any statistic that he helped the economy.
Okay, give me one give me give me one that works.
Okay.
Let me just go down the list.
Um Okay, ready?
Go.
The guy came in, obviously ridiculous uh financial situation in the country.
Adam, stop for stop Adam, Adam, Adam, stop for a second.
Let me uh Adam, hang on, I'm gonna tell you how we're gonna play this game.
You give me a statistic where things are better instead of give me this long lead up.
We all know what the economic conditions are, but now he served eight years as president.
Give us the measurement by which you judge his economic policy as a success.
Go.
Okay.
Stock market.
Stock market was at six thousand.
It went down two thousand points when he first came in.
And now it's at we all know.
Record record level.
Let me ask you a question.
Do you think the fifty million people that are on food stamps and the fifty million people that are in America that live in poverty and the ninety-five million Americans out of the labor force?
Do you think they give a flying rip about the stock market?
Yes or no?
No.
Thank you.
Okay, what's the next statistic?
Go.
Um, listen, you're gonna judge Donald Trump if it's on that unemployment statistic.
I know you have 95 million out of the labor force, but when the when the unemployment rate goes down to 2% under old under Donald Trump, you're gonna give him credit for that.
Okay, number one, number one, I'm I'm not gonna look at the unemployment rate.
I'm gonna look at the labor participation rate numbers.
And since Obama's been president, we now have the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s, and if you want to be bamboozled by the unemployment rate number that doesn't count people that are chronically long and unemployed, chronically out of work, that can't seek jobs or gave up looking for jobs because there are no jobs, then you can live in your world of Alice in Wonderland.
I choose not to live there.
And you know, when it's the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s, we ought to pay attention.
Don't you think that's a bad number for the country?
Of course not.
But I I look at the same thing.
Oh, you don't think it's a b you don't think the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s is a bad number?
It's no, it's a bad number.
It's definitely a bad number.
Got it.
So you agree.
All right, ready?
Next, hang on.
Let's keep going.
We're playing the game.
Next statistic.
Go.
Next statistic.
Um look at the uh the uh hold on uh hang on, Jason, keep playing the music.
He's gotta think.
Give him time.
Okay, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Um look at the gas gas prices.
Gas prices in the in the country have gone down.
Whoa, what places gas gas prices.
Gas prices.
And do you know why gas prices have gone down?
Do you know anything about what Saudi Arabia, OPEC, and the Middle East oil cartels have been doing?
You understand that as soon as you understand that they have purposely dropped the prices to run American companies out of business so that we won't tap our own natural resources.
And that which which businesses are you referring to?
Well, I'm talking about the whole entire fracking industry, the shale oil industry, the oil industry.
Okay, no, actually, no, he's not supported it.
No.
No, that would be the wrong answer.
No, wrong.
And because we have more natural gas, you see, I think, in spite of whatever OPEC does, that we ought to go forward with our own energy independence, so we don't have to count on the Saudis.
You know the people that kill gays and lesbians and tell women how to dress and women can't drive and Christians and Jews are persecuted.
You don't want to rely on them for uh the lifeblood of our economy.
Wait a minute.
You don't want to rely on Saudi Arabia and other countries for the lifeblood of our economy, which is energy, do you?
No, I don't.
Okay.
Next one.
Go.
Let me go.
Um.
Uh let's see.
I I I know I know uh the top of my head.
Um just uh take your time.
No, no, don't rush, don't put pressure on yourself.
Take your time.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Um looking at recently, they have said that uh incomes for medium wage families have gone up a little bit.
A little bit they've gone up.
No, actually, median income has gone down about five thousand dollars.
Let me give you some other statistics.
Let me help you out on the other side of that.
Very simple.
Okay, one in one in six Americans, eighteen to thirty-four now, are either in jail or living in mommy's basement.
Uh one in five American families don't have a single member of the family in the labor force.
Lowest labor participation rate in 70 since the 70s, lowest home ownership rate in fifty-one years, worst recovery since the forties, thirteen million more Americans on food stamps, eight million more in poverty.
Um when you look at those numbers, do you really think Obama's been successful or not?
Okay, I have another one.
I have another fact.
No, no, no.
You got to answer my question.
I just gave well.
I guess gate, we gotta get you gotta play the game.
I just gave you my facts.
Do those uh is that an impressive record in your mind?
Listen.
All presidents have to up and down.
I'm asking no, no, no.
I'm asking you a very direct question.
I gave you the statistics, they're just reality, so I'm asking Does that not persuade you that Obama's done a horrible job on the economy?
Uh Mr. Hannity.
No, those are not good facts, but we have to be fair to the fair to him.
I mean, he did not do a horrific job.
And if you look at corporations, I have one last statistic.
He accumulated more debt than every other president before him combined.
Is that good?
Hit it.
No.
I don't know the fact.
I don't I don't know that specifically.
Well, the well, the the federal debt.
The federal debt was a ten trillion, now it's twenty trillion, and he accumulated more debt than forty-three other presidents.
That's not really good, right?
No.
No.
Okay.
So unless so, based on your based on what you say, if you're rich and you had a lot of money in the stock market, then you're doing great.
Otherwise, screw you.
Okay.
I appreciate it.
I just want to make sure.
All right, uh Donna Staten Island, real quick, Donna.
Hi, I hi.
Instead of uh MAGA M A G A, I have a new one.
What?
M-L-H-E, making liberal heads explode.
Yeah.
You can it's pretty much happening on its own.
We don't have to precipitate it, you know.
It's it's delightful to watch, isn't it?
Oh my god, it's so funny.
It's so funny.
It's my Christmas present.
Well, look, I mean, you know, the thing is, is they're in total freakout mode over nothing.
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.
Not kidding.
You better fix this right now.
I literally am gonna die.
I need an ambulance.
Hey, Jason, I in the spirit of Christmas want to reach out to that girl.
Can we find her?
Lauren, I'm gonna put you on a mission.
Find that girl.
And I want to see if I can offer her help.
I want to see if she's gotten the help that she needs.
She's reaching out, crying out, screaming out for help, and I think it would be the the nice Christmas spirit thing to do to help that young lady.
Maybe I'll send her Sherry's berries for Christmas.
Anything that'll make her happy again.
You know, she can gain the the Trump ten.
If you're if you've gotten fat since the election, it's not your fault.
It's Donald Trump's fault.
He won.
It's sort of like push derangement syndrome.
If the dog bites of the bee stings, if you're feeling sad, if you have a hangover after you drink too much, it's not your fault.
It's Trump's fault.
He did it.
There's a profound argument about whether his influence was for the better or for the worst.
And that really is the challenge that faces him.
The country came through this election season more divided, conspicuously publicly, than at any time through any election cycle that most of us can remember.
For those folks who've lost their job right now because a plant went down to Mexico.
And so what we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now, because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back.
I'll take them back from China, from Japan, from Mexico, which is doing an incredible job.
Their leaders are much smarter than our leaders.
They're taking tremendous industry.
How do you keep you keep them by labor's chief?
That's why they go for one thing, you keep them by talking to them.
When somebody says, like the person you just mentioned, who I'm not going to advertise for, that he's going to bring all these jobs back.
Well, how exactly are you going to do that?
What are you going to do?
I will tell you that United Technologies and Carrier stepped it up, and now they're keeping actually the numbers over eleven hundred people, which is so great.
Which is so great.
We're gonna have a lot of phone calls made to companies when they say they're thinking about leaving this country because they're not leaving this country.
They're not gonna leave this country, and the workers are gonna keep their jobs.
And they can leave from state to state, and they can negotiate good deals with the different states and all of that.
But leaving the country is gonna be very, very difficult.
I just think that they are selling a lie.
This lie that the jobs can come back.
The jobs are not going to ever come back.
I would like to tell him thank you for uh going out of your way and taking your uh holiday uh away from your family and uh working on uh the carrier and employees deal and uh sticking to your word and going to bat for all of us uh carrier and and keeping our jobs here.
He's got nothing serious to offer on jobs.
And we're gonna do something else.
We're gonna keep jobs in this country.
We're not gonna carry our air conditioning thing, they're gonna move to Mexico, make your air conditioners, send them back here, lose all these jobs, pay no tax when they send and hurt our country.
So that's not gonna happen.
So we're gonna do that.
But you know the other thing how?
It's very simple.
We're going to put we're gonna make them pay.
There's gonna be consequences.
He just says, Well, I'm going I'm gonna negotiate a better deal.
Well, how what how exactly are you going to negotiate that?
What magic wand do you have?
And usually the answer is he doesn't have an answer.
This is Massa, a soft bank from Japan, and he's just agreed to invest $50 billion in the United States and 50,000 jobs.
And he's one of the great men of industry.
So I just want to thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
The only people, by the way, that can't seem to applaud $50 billion and 50,000 jobs and eleven hundred carrier jobs are either the never Trumpers or the Democrats.
Now, you might say, Hannity, they've incentivized.
This happens every day by every governor in every state.
And if you look at the case that we highlighted this week of Joe Max, Joe Max Higgins, the guy from the Golden Triangle, who is in Mississippi, and he brought a tire plant to his state, and he brought an engine production company to his state, and he brought a steel mill to his state, and he bought brought a drone manufacturer to his state.
You gotta say that just as smart, and at the end of the day, after they took a little r risk, not a lot.
I mean, yeah, sewers are expensive and it's expensive to build roads, but it's not that expensive.
And they did it inexpensively because they had to, because they didn't have the extra money to throw around because so many people in the Golden Triangle were unemployed, but they built it, they built the roads, they built the sewers, And in particular, they built the extra power grid that actually made the deal possible with the steel company that now has created about thirteen hundred jobs in the Golden Triangle.
And they decided to build there because there was that partnership.
Is that a certain investment of g that to me is the best use of government money.
Now they've got they're now getting a million dollars in tax revenue that they never saw before.
They only projected that they get two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year in a best case scenario.
And so they've got all of their investment back and they're making more money than they ever dreamed of, which means that he's gonna fly around Joe Max and his helicopter a little bit more and see what other industries he can invite to the Golden Triangle.
And personally, if we're gonna spend a trillion dollars on infrastructure, I'd I'd love Joe Max to run it.
Former Speaker of the House, Duke Gingrich is with us.
His best selling book, of course, is called Treason.
Saturday, um this Saturday at two PM, he's gonna be at Mount Vernon so signing books, and uh I gotta give you a lot of cra I I keep hearing your crowds are massive at every one of these book signings.
Congratulations.
Well, they've been amazing.
Of course, Clista and I both look forward to going to Mount Vernon, and she'll have Ellis the elephant there for young people to get pictures with, so it'll be a really exciting time.
And frankly, uh a lot of them are fans of yours.
I've uh the mark will number walk up to me and uh talk about how much they like the two of us talking on radio or being on TV together.
We were just at the basilica because uh today's a holy day of obligation, and uh the number of people who walked up to me uh who uh were totally positive, totally engaged, and say, Oh, I watch you on Fox all the time.
It's really interesting.
Well, you know, uh look, I'm gonna be honest, I don't book a lot of people as regularly as I book you, and one of the reasons that number one are friendship.
I mean, I think that plays a good part in the chemistry of the what we have both on radio and TV.
Even when you make fun of me, I take it, it's fine.
But in all seriousness, it's kind of what what the feedback I'm getting is that people are interested in our day-to-day analysis of all the events that are happening, and you know, I think the first hundred days are gonna be phenomenal and fascinating, starting on day one.
I'm assuming that Donald Trump is probably gonna spend a lot of time in the Oval Office rescinding executive orders, and that's gonna make me really happy.
I I would argue 60, 70 percent of Obama's work the last eight years can be, you know, turned around with a stroke of a pen.
Yeah, I think the the very way that Obama governed uh guaranteed instability because he never worked with the Congress.
He didn't get, you know, with the exception of one or two big things like Obamacare, he just didn't get the things in law the you that you need in law, if in fact you're gonna have the the kind of stability and permanence that you ought to have.
And that's because he was trying to move an extraordinarily radical agenda.
The only and and by the way, then when Obamacare is overturned, then the only legacy he will have is is accumulating more debt than forty-three other presidents before him combined and the one hundred judges that were approved since he's been president, which will have an impact.
I will have an impact, but I think we'll gradually undo a lot of that and replace, you know.
I mean, I I think the the Trump imprint on the Supreme Court is gonna be decisive, but just as we warned that Hillary would be shaping the court for forty years or more, I think we can now be excited by the opportunity for President Elect Trump to shape the court for forty years or more.
And that that will have a huge out-year impact on uh the whole nature of the judiciary.
You know, one of the things, Harry it's very funny to watch President Obama now, Obama's announced that he's gonna go on a a sort of victory lap tour just like Donald Trump.
I think he's um I think he's missing the spotlight already.
And, you know, so he's going out there and he's giving speeches and people really aren't paying attention, and he's kind of old news.
Harry Reid is doing pretty much the same thing.
Harry Reid is even predicting that the sixty vote filibuster threshold for legislation and the Supreme Court nominees will ultimately disappear altogether.
He's the one that changed the the nuclear option himself.
I'm just a little concerned that Mitch McConnell won't have the same courage to do to them what they did to us.
Well, I think look, I think McConnell's job is to get things through the Senate.
McConnell's a brilliant tactician.
He understands the business as well as anybody.
And my guess is he's gonna deliver a lot of stuff for uh President Trump and for the country.
You know, I I I think he can almost the Democrats, but I also think it's very healthy.
Back to your earlier point about Obama.
It's very healthy to have to go out and get a handful of democratic votes.
And if we can't write bills that are popular enough that the pressure of some Democrats to to vote with us, they've got twenty-three who are up for reelection in two thousand eighteen.
Now we should be able to organize in those states and have enough grassroots pressure that we can routinely pick up the Democrats we need.
Uh and I think that's just gonna be part of of how we think through this whole strategy.
It's healthier for the country to have bipartisan bills.
It actually makes for better legislation.
And uh it just requires we do some hard work done at the grassroots level explaining why what we're doing is important and uh why uh we need the help of the American people to get it done.
You know the opposition is growing louder.
I mean we've gone from aromatherapy, pet therapy, crayons, coloring books and and Plato into I think a more angry stage over the weekend you had anchors on CNN referring to Donald Trump as authoritarian, pretty much calling him a dictator without saying it.
And then you had Chris Cuomo this morning comparing Trump's EPA pick to a flat earther and segregationist.
Listen to this fossil fuel friendly we know that but he you know he hasn't denied um global warming he says the science that means he's not accepting the science acceptable question.
It's okay to question it.
That's different.
Either you accept the science or you don't.
No that's not what he's saying.
He's saying that the new he sees nuance where you see black and white that it's either ninety nine percent of the scientific community says global warming is the thing.
CNN says the number is ninety percent but here's the deal Republicans a lot of Republicans and certainly something like thirty percent of voters and they voted for Trump agree with him.
And they think that in terms of the predictions and the forecasts this is where he it comes in that it's far from settled.
The predictions in the forecast thought the world was flat people thought blacks and whites shouldn't marry people thought blacks shouldn't be equal that doesn't mean that you accept it as fact as a leader.
Now I could argue here that what they're saying is insignificant is that is the lowest rated morning show barely showing up in Nielsen ratings.
I I could make that argument.
But on the other hand it is indicative of just how insanely bitter the left is now and I keep getting all sorts of reports about the the bitterness of different shows on CNN, some of them are outrageous but but let me make a a general point for our audience that people tend to forget.
Uh you don't do percentages of scientists.
Science is about proven fact and unproven fact.
Science changes when the facts change uh in at the turn of the last century uh there were two guys um one of them was Albert Einstein and the other was Max Planck.
They had a very radical interpretation of physics.
Every senior physicist in the world thought they were crazy.
And if you'd put it to a vote, you would have found in nineteen oh five or so an enormous percent of scientists who would have said these two guys are nuts.
Now it turned out that their theories were right and that science had to change.
Uh but science is about whether or not it's factually right.
It's not political science.
This is where this this nonsense oh ninety one percent say X. Well first of all ninety one percent of people there that they're interviewing aren't climate specialists.
They they're they're people voting the sociology of their profession.
And the universities are so left wing that you you would be punished on most campuses if you got up as a faculty member and said that uh you know global warming uh w was worthy of being uh tested and thought through and wasn't automatic.
And I I just want to make that point that this is the minute they say percentages, we are not talking about science.
We're talking about sociology.
Well we also know that a lot of the data's been manufactured.
I mean they had the big scandal in in Great Britain over the data that they had to artificially manufacture, but you know it goes deeper than that.
I mean these same people were telling us about global warming in the coming ice age and it was on the cover of Time magazine and in the seventies and and that was their science.
And that evolved into global warming and and Al Gore saying the earth has a temperature it needs advil.
And you gotta I remember I remember eighties Gore was very worried about nuclear winter.
And I always assumed he invented global warming as a way of thawing out nuclear winter.
So there's sort of a balance in in Gore's uh mind you know you gotta give him some some good grades for creativity because when when global cooling didn't work and the ice age is coming and the earth is going to burn burn off burn apart, then they just came up with a generic term which is climate change so that if it's too hot or too cold if it snows or doesn't so all of us could communicate about his ideas.
I mean you know and uh I I would say that the that I think that it's perfectly reasonable to raise questions and it's perfectly reasonable to want to look at data and it makes you wonder why they're so scared on the left.
You know why does Cuomo have to be that frightful why is he afraid of an open discussion?
Well I mean because in his mind it's the equivalent of being a flat earther, a segregationist.
You know what's so eerie though?
I mean, I guess politics in many ways just ne in many ways never changes.
And and I just think back to when you first became speaker, and you and I have discussed this.
The same unhinged, off the hook, reactionary, extremist response is happening.
I mean, now we're being told women are not sleeping with their husbands or boyfriends because of what happened on election day.
Now we're told that teachers are giving their students hot cocoa.
Now we're told that women are dyeing their hair dramatically to dramatically different colors in reaction to to empower themselves after Donald Trump's victory.
I mean, this is all being written about.
This all happened in ninety four.
Well, I mean, look look at the Time Magazine which reluctantly had to give Trump the cover as man of the year, person of the year.
Ironically, they had two earlier covers.
One showed him gradually melting down in August, and the other showed total meltdown in October.
And then of course he won, which was sort of made those covers look stupid.
Uh, but but they actually are nicer and more positive about Hillary Clinton in defeat than they are about Donald Trump and victory.
And it just gives you a sense of the bias.
I said to you, I really think we ought to start thinking about talking about the propaganda media rather than the news media.
I mean, certainly that's what CNN has become, and that's what that Time Magazine piece is.
It's it's just propaganda.
It's the left wingers sitting around together.
The times have changed reality.
They're not needed anymore.
They're just not.
And and people are making their choice with their eyeballs and with their ears and with their reading choices, and they're moving on.
Right, Mr. Speaker, we'll see you tonight, but a reminder that you will be at Mountain Vernon on Saturday at two PM, and we'll put those details up on Hannity.com.
Look forward to it.
Thanks.
All right, thank you, sir.
800 941 Sean.
You know, a lot of things now going on in Washington that we're not paying attention to.
And I know that we're a little bit giddy.
We're a little bit happy.
How the House of Representatives wrapping up work for the year.
What do they do?
Pass another stop gap spending bill, uh a major water resources package that the Democrats wanted, and they wanted that went through New York law lawmakers grumbling about the money to offset NYPD spending on Trump security, but the Senate might screw around into tomorrow on the budget, maybe even into the weekend, but the House is kind of jamming them a little bit and they're leaving town.
One of them hopefully leaving is Louis Gomert.
He needs to go home and take a shower after being in that city as long as he's been.
How are you, my friend?
As far as I know, I'm okay.
A little bit depressed.
Um, thinking about uh sticking around here because uh, you know, one of the things we see is that when the uh rank foul members of the House or Senate leave, then uh people can walk down to the floor when that it's supposed to be just uh de facto we uh come in, we say the pledge, so we are in session, we take up some little mox next items.
Uh but the trouble is uh as happened uh earlier, uh when there wasn't any just a couple people on the Senate floor, I was told, uh somebody came in and said, I'd ask unanimous consent that we pass this uh missing Alzheimer's disease patient alert program uh without objection, and so there's no vote, it's just nobody there.
And we've had that issue come up a number of times when John Boehner was speaker, and so some of us would try to get here early and stay late to make sure that in before we went out of session or when we first came in and most people weren't here because we were told, Oh, don't worry about it, we won't vote until such and such time.
Well, uh they would come up and say, I'd ask unanimous consent to do pass this bill or pass that bill.
And uh this uh missing Alzheimer's disease patient alert program, it sounds like a good idea, and nobody knows better than uh some in my family, uh what it feels like to to not know where somebody you love is because uh of uh, you know, is uh mental disability, uh brilliant, brilliant person uh having issues of um in my mother's case a brain tumor.
And so it is good to where those folks are but we just passed a bill this morning it's uh uh they said oh it's just a reauthorization.
No, this is this is putting us on track for a new system and it's going to allow the federal government to track people and they say well it's just for ty autism, dementia and Alzheimer's.
Well no, it says for uh developmental disabilities and Sean that you could define that to include all kinds of things.
The diagnostic statistics manual that so many I mean most every medical professional uh relies on to name things I mean would say the Delp developmental disabilities those change all the time they're added and some say that if you f you have strong religious beliefs uh there's some that argue that is a developmental uh disability let me let me stop you for a second here this is H.R. 4919 which is which will reauthorize and
expand an expired federal program.
It's called the Missing Alzheimer's disease patient alert program.
Now you're right I I happen to know friends of mine who's either parents or grandparents have or have had Alzheimer's and I know of instances where the people go out in their cars and they get lost they don't know how to get home they don't remember home right so and they there are people who have wandered away and and then have been found dead.
It does happen.
It's tragic absolutely tragic.
So in the name of being a you know a good shepherd and a good Samaritan, we're gonna start a federal tracking program because of this mental health issue.
Well Sean, if it's a middle health issue, why did they put the Attorney General, the Department of Justice in charge of the program?
The AG is going to make all the rules for this tracking program.
They're gonna decide what is the best practice, what you have to do and then we're gonna provide money to different areas to help them create these tracking programs.
And some people I mean I made a living for a while as a judge and a uh justice, a chief justice, so I have heard oral arguments from brilliant lawyers on what this word means, what this doesn't mean and a lot of folks here do not get that.
So when they're told oh Louie you you're overreacting because this we say in the bill uh it cannot it's nobody can have any of this tracking mechanism or chip or whatever it is uh they can't have it added unless the parent or guardian agree.
Well it does say in here it's voluntary but Sean once you create this federal tracking program I can guarantee you there will be judges that that some law enforcement or somebody will come before and say, Judge we need we need this order.
The parent or the guardian doesn't agree and it'll happen.
What you're basically let me put this in layman terms.
You're suggesting with maybe the best of intentions pe somebody with Alzheimer's who may have a propensity to get lost you want to be able to find them.
Maybe a child that is developmentally disabled you may that may not find their way home.
You want to be able to find them.
The problem is number one we are making yet another federal entitlement number two you are worried and I think I share your concern about the idea that the Attorney General or some judge would make a decision that the government gets to decide oh that person needs a tracking device.
All of these devices are already available on the market very inexpensively and if families choose to make that decision themselves they can make it do that we would encourage them to do that.
But you don't need a federal law that creates a federal program and they say but look Louis there's not going to be a federal database and then they point to language and I see the language that says no money from this bill from this pro grant program may be used to maintain a federal database.
Well it can be used from from any other uh Department of Justice program and not only that it it are going to be able to have the database with state and local law enforcement.
Of course, they'd share that with the feds.
But then I get back to my office, I'm depressed because we had over a hundred and sixty uh Republicans, well meaning they just oh it feels good let's help somebody that's sick by creating an Orwellian tracking program and my my office hands me this article from Yahoo News.
Uh Japan has just created uh a barcode tag for their people with Alzheimer's or others that they want to track.
Uh but all you have to have is a change in majority and you will be but you'll be adding different people to this tracking program uh you know before long you'll hear well it's a little bit I think we got this and I agree wholeheartedly with you and it's you know it's part of my frustration with the Republican Party.
It really is so Donald Trump is now the president and he got tepid support at best from leadership if you even want to call it you know any type of of support.
Um I was very disappointed.
So your fellow Texas Congressman Flores actually made a comment speaking on behalf of Paul Ryan that well why don't we just do the things that we agree with Donald Trump on like the let's do the economic plan and let's do uh build the wall maybe and let's do but let's put the more contentious things the areas where we don't agree let's put those on the back burner so that maybe we'll do those later.
Now why do I suspect that the Republican establishment is setting Donald Trump up for failure especially on some of the more controversial parts of his agenda like the extreme vetting of refugees or deporting criminal aliens or actually building the wall in its entirety or sending education back to the states.
I think most of the energy independence issues he'll be able to deal with through executive orders.
But, you know, why do they think this is their agenda when he won the victory?
Well, the reason you say, why am I suspicious?
Well, the reason you're suspicious is because we've seen that over and over.
And I will go back to 2005 and 2006, my very first term, when Bush said, you know, we have got to reform.
security or it's going broke.
It won't be there for the next generation.
And you had Speaker Hester and you had Majority Leader Frist.
They said, yeah, we're going to do that.
And also, we're going to throw out the tax code.
We're going to massively reform tax law.
We're going to make it simple.
And then a year later, they said, you know what?
We just can't get the votes for you, George W. Sorry about that.
We did the best we could.
We have seen this before, and I'm afraid we're seeing it again.
But when I asked Bill Forrest about that today, he was saying, look, I didn't mean I want to derail the Trump plan.
I just mean, you know, there are some things he said he was for, like the government paying for health care and stuff.
But we agree on a lot of things.
And, you know, Bill said he was okay with having a wall in a lot of places.
So there are things we agree with.
Let's get the easy things out.
out of the way what really bugs me is like this bill today they do this to us our leadership this bill never had a legislative hearing in a subcommittee or committee it didn't get debated we didn't have a markup where we can bring amendments it came straight to the floor without any chance to be really examined and what it means and what where this could go and this happens far too often and it breaks my heart.
I literally I've been so depressed we we were gonna come back and fund the government.
Keep that going we weren't gonna do any new program you know what I'm also worried about I'm worried about a hundred I'm sorry a trillion dollars in infrastructure spending because you and I and you and I both know Louie you and I both know that we get fifty cents on the dollar once it goes through the DC bureaucracy, Paul Ryan was asked on sixty minutes how are we going to pay for it?
And he didn't give an answer.
And I would like to I I don't mind rebuilding infrastructure but I don't want the Washington bureaucracy with all due respect Louie five hundred and thirty five power hungry uh congressmen And senators trying to dig every penny back to their own district so they can kick back to their friends.
I'd rather an outside entity manage the money and use it on projects that we need that'll actually create jobs and pay as you go.
If we just eliminate the Clinton plan that forces them to use chemicals, then we wouldn't have to rebuild everybody's water plant.
There are other ways to go here.
Yeah, I mean, uh a trillion dollars is a trillion dollars.
Now maybe we can get by Trump starts cutting these regulations like the ones that are causing uh uh water filtration plants to forcing them to use chemicals that that ruined their water systems and law lead and other things to get in there.
When we reform the the regulations like Trump says he's gonna do, and uh Steve Moore, I was telling him the other day, it's really exciting what he's gonna do on day one.
Then we won't need to rebuild everybody's water plant.
So there's a lot to be done just that first day, knocking out the ridiculous regulations.
Are you happy with Trump so far?
Yeah, so far.
I mean, he's appointed a couple of people I really don't know, but uh it and I wasn't sure about uh you know Mitch McConnell's wife, she's a brilliant lady, and uh has always been very pleasant, but I wasn't sure how that was going.
But no, I I'm I'm liking what I'm seeing, and he's showing people he can be gracious when there were an awful lot of folks that said he never could be.
But the real test comes uh, you know, as soon as he's sworn in.
You've talked about it, it's already starting.
They're going to do everything they can to destroy him, to destroy the I agree, and I did it.
We can't give up the fight.
We cannot roll over.
It's too important what we've got to do here.
I said last night in my opening monologue, if you want a friend, I'll get you another dog in Washington.
You're not gonna have friends there.
End of sentence.
But Louie, we love you, and hopefully you'll be filling in uh soon on this program.
I know my audience loves you, and uh keep fighting the good fight, keep us up to speed on everything that's going on there.
You are our voice there, and we appreciate it.
Thank you.
By the way, do me a favor, join the freedom caucus.
I want you in the freedom caucus.
Well, but they have a rule that if eighty percent agree on something, then a hundred percent have to vote that way.
And if that had if the freedom caucus had been there January 2015, I would not have been able to lead the charge against Mayor.
Well, they need to get rid of that rule.
And that's what laid the groundwork for getting rid of him.
Okay, that's a fair point.
All right, but you're like an honorary member, then like me.
I'm an honorary.
Listen, we consult on everything, and we're we'll you know, we're joined at the hip on virtually every issue that comes up.
Louis, I got a roll, bud.
Thank you.
Louis Gomart, Congressman Texas 800 941 Sean.
Donald Trump just last week he confirmed to the National Review that he is again considering a run in 2016.
Do it.
Do it.
Look at the count fighting checks 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.
Is that people think that Donald Trump is a clown?
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 least I will go down as a president.
So basically this is the beginning of the end for Trump.
Beginning of the end.
It's 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 different bursts and look at all has Hillary Clinton up by double digits nationally, 12 points, 50 to 38 for 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.
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 gonna 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.
That's the project.
Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida.
Huge win for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, while we project will win in Kentucky with Indiana with its 11th electoral votes.
Yes, 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.
All right, news roundup information overload.
Collective media meltdown.
That's the only way to describe it.
I mean, and now an obsession with fake news.
Now an obsession with calling Trump as close to a Nazi as they can.
Well, as a matter of fact, they even go that far in certain instances, which shouldn't surprise anybody.
This is who they are.
And what have uh what have I been talking about today?
Well, you got Van Jones interviewing Michael Moore, that's the new CNN lineup.
And Van Jones PR firm working with Republican electors of the electoral college to vote against Donald Trump.
You literally have women saying they're that they're suffering from electile dysfunction and to empower themselves from the depression they now find themselves in.
They are changing their hair color.
And it's become a huge tsunami of women demanding these changes of their hair so they can once again empower themselves.
You got commentators making comments about worrying about their uteruses.
And this is on top of everything else that we have discussed.
They're now calling a weight gain the Trump 10.
It's the November 8th weight gain.
And if you gain 10 pounds since Trump won, well, it is because of your reaction to what has happened here.
add aromatherapy, pet therapy, dog therapy, cat therapy, crayon therapy, coloring book therapy, Play-Doh therapy, and you have a total meltdown.
This is going to be a joke.
I do not believe this is happening.
I'm literally about to f***ing kill myself in a...
I'm not kidding.
You better fix this right now.
I literally am gonna die.
I need an ambulance.
I need an ambulance.
That was a Bernie supporter.
And then, of course, we come such a long way from 2008.
Where we were gonna have our mortgages paid for free.
We were gonna have free gasoline, just go up to the gas station and say, I'm I'm on the Obama plan.
I I did something for him, I voted for him.
I never thought this day would ever happen.
I won't have to work up in the gas in my car.
I won't have to work out being my morgan.
You know, if I want him, gonna help me.
Oh, this is such a blessing to see you, Mr. President.
Thank you for taking time out of your day.
Oh, gracious God, thank you so much.
You got Obama phone?
Yes, everybody in Cleveland is oh my northern he got Obama phone!
Keep Obama in president, you know?
He gave us a phone!
He gave you a phone!
How'd he give you a phone?
You chatting up to Jerry, you on full stem swell, social security, you got low income, you disability!
Okay, what's wrong with Romney again?
Romney!
He sucks!
Yeah!
Alright, then Chris Cuomo over at CNN, comparing Trump's EPA pick to a flat earther and segregationist.
Tina Faye, according to newsbusters, is warning prepare for Nazi America under a Donald Trump presidency.
Michael Moore, Republican Congress will pass an onslaught of suffering.
Well, actually, Michael, that happened under Obama's reign, but you know, why bother?
Then you've got the Women of the View.
Watch your uterus, the view's wacky predictions.
Whoopi Goldberg.
You know, she goes on and say, I think he's going to get a little more attention when people start opening their envelopes and seeing those letters about their insurance, dropping them Because they're losing their well, what we call Obamacare.
It's hitting the fan.
People are starting to get it.
People are starting to get those emails, the letters, and oh, by the way, we're not gonna be taking care of this anymore because we don't have to.
Watch out for your uterus is the headline at newsbusters.
And then we've got Lena Dunham.
Did you see Lena in the bathroom crawled up in a ball next to the toilet paper?
Okay.
It's insane.
Well, one person that's actually following this from a sane point of view is Joe Concha of the Hill.
And uh he's one of the few media people that have not freaked out, like your peers.
You notice there's a little bubble of the media reporters and they're all buddies with each other and they all retweet each other.
You're not in that circle, I noticed.
You know, Sean, you're exactly right.
It's this vicious circle, at least in the media reporter world of Washington Post Media Reporter and the political media reporters and the CNN media reporters.
All they do is retweet each other's stuff and congratulate each other all day.
That's a microcosm of exactly what's wrong with the media today.
They're all talking to each other, and they are not talking to people in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and it's all about impressing themselves instead of just doing their job.
So I've told you this before.
I repurpose my dinner table for beer pong when I had people over for parties.
All right.
I play corn toss, I'm in three fantasy football leagues.
That's not my that's not my crowd.
That's the Apple Martini crowd.
I drink straight Budweiser and not the light beer crap.
I I go with the real thing.
I hate to say it, but I drink light beer because I'm older and fatter, so stop making fun of fat old people.
I that was discriminatory.
But I get this all the time.
I go out in public and people say, Wow, you're you're a lot taller in person, and you're a lot skinnier in person, and you're a lot wow, I c uh you're uh and whatever.
I s you're a lot younger in person.
I'm like so I'm a fat, short old guy in in on TV.
What does that mean?
It means that you take the what, the judo and you you could literally kill somebody.
I don't do judo.
I do mixed martial arts.
Why does everyone say karate and judo?
I don't know the difference, to be quite honest with you.
What is the difference?
There's a huge it's an eclectic blend of of different arts, basically how to win a fight in thirty seconds, stay in shape in the meantime and uh and break things.
That's pretty much my martial arts study.
I watched all three karate kids, that's the extent of my extent of yours.
Yeah.
You know, if you ever get in a room full of these other media people like Eric Wimple and uh what's the other the Pipsqueak, the wannabe Oberman over there at CNN and and the rest of 'em, I met Ma Oliver Darcy last night.
Did you really?
I did.
Were you downtown clubbing?
Well, where do you sell Oliver Darcy?
No, I had to go to a Christmas party from my boss.
I went to the Christmas party for my boss, and it was literally like the next block over, so I stopped by.
Dan Abrams couldn't have been more gracious.
I actually had a very good time, but I think people saw me walk in, they said, There he is.
Oh my gosh, there's a real conservative that walked in.
A lot of your journalist friends were there, right?
I mean, yeah, I got there later though, so.
Oh, good.
So you were the sober one and you got the pizza.
But then I started mixing drinks.
I can't help myself because my old bartending skills kick back in.
Um, I gotta give you credit about something else.
You know, now they're they're talking all about this fake news nonsense, and you know, where was the outrage over Obama's fake news pedaling?
And you did a great column and you gave a number of examples.
Why don't you tell everybody?
Sure.
So on the Hill, I believe this was on Tuesday.
Everybody's talking about fake news, as you said, right?
And I said, Well, what about fake narratives?
What about false narratives that an an administration willingly sells to reporters that are more than willing to buy it?
And the most obvious one was involving Ben Rhodes.
Now, who's Ben Rhodes?
He's the deputy national security advisor.
That's what KT McFarland's gonna be, who will be leaving Fox News uh as a result of that.
Uh Ben Rhodes is also the brother of David Rhodes, who is the president of uh CBS News.
Just uh in a strange coincidence.
So all that said, Ben Rhodes talks to the New York Times and openly boasts about how he can dupe reporters, how they're only twenty-seven years old, how they know nothing about anything, and how we're gonna sell this around as if we're talking to moderate over there instead of the Moolas who are really in control, and we're gonna say this and that, and we know exactly what reporters to go to, and we know exactly which ones are gonna say exactly what we want them to say.
And you say, Oh, come on, Joe, it doesn't really happen.
Well, WikiLeaks proved that happened, right?
I mean, we saw By the way, are you and I like the only people in the media that paid any attention to WikiLeaks?
Because it certainly seems uh a lot of the exposure of the media here was ignored by the media because it was all of them.
Well, that's the thing, right?
They'd be forced to cover what we talked about before, that little circle of friends that even if you don't work with them at your organization, I can't cover John Harwood advising the Clinton campaign.
He's a friend of mine.
I saw him at a party a couple of weeks ago.
I don't work for CNBC, but I can't call him out.
I'm friends with this guy, and that was the problem.
That's why I didn't get a lot of covers, because that would force you to call out your own colleagues and media.
But again, If you keep yourself out of that bubble, then you could take any shots that you want, and they were fair shots.
I mean, there was all on paper.
It's not like I was making it up.
I was literally just doing stories on emails and quoting people like Donna Brazil saying sometimes they get the questions in advance over at CNN and she did it not once but twice.
The thing, Sean.
The first time after uh she was caught doing it, CNN didn't make any statement really thing.
She's no longer going to be allowed back in the network.
It had to take the second time for that.
Yeah.
And by the way, did Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer, there's they can't write their own questions.
They need to get the questions for Trump from the DNC.
Yeah, that that bothered me.
And that that just didn't happen at CNN.
That happened with Politico, that happened at Washington Post with Dana Milbank.
Uh I mean you could go on and on.
And The New York Times.
New York Times, right, right.
Quote approval they it's called, where you say, Hey, I got this quote that I when I didn't.
By the way, you've written stories about me.
You never gave me quote approval.
As a matter of fact, I've never gotten quote approval my entire life.
Not once.
Yeah, I'd love to be able to rewrite the story before it goes out.
Absolutely, because I usually don't like them.
Yeah, right.
So all i i it kept happening.
Again, this is all on paper and and it was across the board, and whenever I would contact these organizations and I'd talk to the PR people, I'm like, so you're gonna is there any sort of reprimand that's gonna happen and suspension?
They're gonna be an apology, contrition, something.
And they'd all give me the same excuse.
Joe, this is just how it works.
This is how we do research in this business.
And if you weren't so naive, like they'd actually start to, you know, attack me personally, you would know this.
And I'd say, Well, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
If I'm interviewing Ted Cruz or Jeb Bush, why I would need to go to the DNC to get my questions.
I could go Google it and find a thousand questions I could ask Ted Cruz, or maybe I just pay attention every day, and I could just write down to ten uh crews or Bush questions off the top of my head.
Why do I need the DNC to help me with my research?
It's such a lazy excuse.
It is so pathetic.
One time I had a uh it was she was a young woman that was working for me on the show, and you've been around my TV show a lot, and I think you you have a pretty good idea of my style.
I just do my research every day and I don't prepare questions this way.
I prepare certain number of questions in my head.
And then beyond that, I try to listen to what the guests say and then go go from there.
The conversation.
Right.
Conversation.
So this girl comes up and she was being very, very nice.
She goes, Oh, and by the way, and Mr. Hannity, here are your questions.
And she hands me a list and I look at them and I said, These are really very, very well thought out questions.
I really appreciate it.
I and I said, But I don't need 'em.
I said, That's my job.
I do the questions here.
Yeah.
And what if the conversation takes over uh somebody you're interviewing says something outrageous?
You gotta go back to your original question that you wrote down.
It's not doesn't work that way.
Or you don't hear it because you're thinking about what the next question is.
Precisely.
Yeah.
And that's funny when people say, Hey, when you do a Hannity show or when you do whoever's show, I'm I'm I I go in a lot of different places.
Did you get the questions in advance?
I got there are no questions.
There are no questions in advance.
I know what we're going to talk about, but that's the extent of it.
And by the way, how many times do I go off topic?
Almost every time.
You?
Oh, you're I call you uh Mr. Tangent in my notes.
Is that what you're Mr. Tangent?
Well, listen, you've been one of the guys that has actually been fair to me and and you I appreciate it.
And I love the fact that you're sort of an island unto yourself in in the media criticism world and and you'll go where a lot of these guys don't dare go because it's basically become uh an insider echo chamber and and the only people they're really talking to are themselves.
Yeah, and I think it's an ideological thing also.
They're i i i they're afraid that if they call out an Obama administration like we were talking before, pushing fake narratives, right?
Like if they they talk about Gruber too much.
Remember Professor Gruber who said lack of transparency is a huge advantage advantage, and basically call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for getting Obamacare to pass.
And now that's well, that was an outright lie and propaganda campaign.
That is as fake news as you're gonna get.
Right.
And and but but we didn't see a lot of coverage of that outside of like Fox News and some other outlets because again, it then you realize in that, oh my god, they wanted to pass reporters.
Well, they wanted to pass, but the media reporters are just as compromised ideologically.
In other words, they they they allow how they vote to to dictate how they report to dictate the bias of omission, which means let's just not cover it and we don't really have to be a good idea.
I gotta go, but these are often the very people that criticize me, but you want to know what the difference is, Joe?
I'm honest about who I am.
Everybody knows I'm a conservative.
I'm not hiding it.
Right.
So you take mixed martial arts.
You're c you're you're honest about that.
You're gonna be a w you're gonna be a wise ass, and I don't really care.
Anyway, we love you.
All right, Joe Conscious, he's in the hill.
It's definitely worth reading his columns, and we post some of them on Hannity Doc.
Kate is in Houston, Texas.
Kate, hi, how are you?
Welcome to the program.
Sean, I have to tell you, this is like my Hollywood experience.
You know, some people love to meet Brad Pitt, but I'm telling you, you are my Hollywood experience.
I love you.
Well, you so can I just say one thing though?
I mean, I'll even admit Brad Pitt's kind of like a good looking guy.
I don't fit into that category, but you know, but I'll but I'll take it as a compliment.
So you're saying you like my mind and my heart, and I appreciate it.
Thank you.
You're the full package, okay?
You're the full thing.
So well, yesterday you were giving awards, right?
Everybody in there is laughing right now.
Stop laughing.
Kate has said the nicest things to me, and you people laugh.
Now that's really they know.
I've always said that you're the full package.
Every time I come into work, I'm like, my boss has the full package.
All right, are you done?
I'm never done.
Did you want more?
It's Christmas bonus day, and I'm making a Christmas, you're packaging.
This is awesome.
This is like the best call of my life.
Can you please send Kate one of the bigger?
And send him over to you.
No, we're gonna send her a Trump pen, which uh has been the highest.
That's really sexy.
The highly coveted item of the year that I bought.
Anyway, Kate, I'm sorry to interrupt you.
No, this is so much fun.
Okay, so I have a couple of awards.
You're giving out awards, and you got your award yesterday, but I want to give out some awards today.
Okay.
That's okay.
So the biggest loser, the absolute biggest loser of the year goes to the media because they completely exposed.
Actually, I want to say you completely exposed who they were.
You and a handful that we can count on one hand exposed how absolutely ridiculous and corruptible these people were.
And I, as an American woman, a conservative Christian, four children living at the transplant.
I'm a Jersey girl translated into Houston, Texas, want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts because you helped this revolution happen.
You gotta receive that.
They're the biggest loser.
Can I tell you who I think the winner of the year is?
Still gonna tell you I think, too.
So go ahead.
Okay.
I actually think it's the American people.
That they were able to agree with that.
Because the American people, look, I I tried to give the information about Obama in 07 and 08, and I looking back now, there was no way I was gonna win that because there was such a wave of hysteria.
I don't have to pay gas in my car.
I don't have to pay for my mortgage.
If if I help you, you're help me.
And I mean, there was such hysteria, I couldn't break through the collective insanity that the nation was going through, you know, leading up to the the call the Greek column speech in Denver.
You were the only one that vetted him, though.
You're the only one.
I I I would like to say, and unfortunately, I was right.
Do you you might remember this.
I never thought this day would ever happen.
I don't have to worry about putting gas in my car.
I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage.
You know, if I'm not man, he's gonna help me.
I guess when you go to the gas station eight years ago, all you have to do is say no, Obama sent me.
It's just fill it up for free.
Oh, this is such a blessing to see you, Mr. President.
Thank you for taking time out of your day.
Oh, gracious God, thank you so much.
Uh I couldn't, I couldn't overcome it.
I tried so hard.
I tried to know.
But you know what?
This time you tried, and this time everybody tuned in and listened.
And that's why you're the biggest winner.
You changed the tide of the media.
You really did.
I mean, listen, I'm this is not to insult you, because I've listened to you forever and I totally love you.
But maybe before the maybe 2008, they didn't know.
Now everyone knows who Hannity is.
Little kids, my children are like Hannity.
So listen, you changed the tide.
You made people listen and look at the whole context of quotes.
Look at the whole context of all of sorry.
Not to these little snippets that the corruptible news media put at our faces.
Uh let me tell you a little backstory to this.
And I don't I I'm taking you as being very kind and nice, but I kind of look like we are all spokes in a wheel, and everybody needs to be a spoke to make the wheel go round.
And every spoke contributed to what happened this year.
And I I really believe that.
You know, my job is just a little more public.
I'm a little more outspoken.
I think I was really out there on the biggest branch of the biggest tree on the smallest twig uh hanging by a leaf, and my obituary, I promise, I promise you.
My obituary was written by many, many people of Trump lost this year.
And you know what, Kate, it did I never thought about it.
I don't care.
Last night I was well, yesterday I was picked by Mediaite as one of the top five media personalities in the entire country, which for them, I mean, over the years, we've had a pretty contentious relationship with Media.
Dan Abrams, who I've always liked, he doesn't run the site, he owns it, invited me to the party last night, and I said, you know what?
I don't go to parties, but I'm going to go.
And I went and look at Linda's face.
I didn't tell you because I knew that would be a reaction.
So I went, I stopped by.
Well, you didn't go to her wedding, remember.
Exactly.
Do you know you're really killing me here.
Now she's like, you n you have now made a best friend forever.
Kate, you and I are gonna be bosom buddies with Mr. Package.
I will work for you any day.
I will move from Texas, my friend.
You know, we should hire Kate.
Kate says Kate would be a great addition to this crazy crew of ours.
And and you certainly deserve a bonus for this call.
But I'm only saying, so I went there last night, and the people they're like, there's Satan.
There is there.
You can see in their eyes that they don't know what we conservatives stand for.
You know, uh I'm really seriously considering going on the view because there is a collective, there is like almost a public meltdown going on there, and I wanna help them.
I really do.
So I might do that.
But listen, Kate, you made my day.
Thanks for listening to KTRH in Houston.
God bless you.
We love you.
And uh w stay on the line because we're gonna we're gonna send you a little gift, okay?
Oh, you're so sweet.
I'm gonna send you Sherry's berries and a Trump pen.
All right, so stay on the line.
And happy straw those strawberries are the best.
Berries.com.
I'm telling you, love them.
All right, Pam is in Hampton in Virginia.
Pam, hi.
How are you?
And we're glad you called.
Hi there.
What's going on?
It is a privilege to speak to you.
I just want to tell you, please, whatever.
Do not go on the view.
Do not, do not, do not.
They are the worst people.
They feel like if they yell the loudest, they are correct.
They have no point.
They just yell.
And as a guest, I have seen it time and time and time again that once the guest starts talking, uh, I I watched it especially with Anne Colcher.
As soon as she started talking, they started yelling.
She could not hardly get a word in Edgewise.
And like I say, they have no point.
There's no point to their conversation.
Well, I have an idea what I want to do and why I want to maybe just break my rule one time and go on that show.
Number one, I was asked as a favor from a friend of mine that now works on it, Jedadiah Bila, who worked at the Fox News Channel.
Number one.
Number two, I've known Whoopi for a long time.
And uh I've even known Joy Behar.
I mean, she's so miserable.
I've got I'm going there to help them in a therapy sense, therapeutic sense.
And I want to need it.
And they're gonna need it, and um it's gonna be like my Christmas gift to them.
I haven't said yes yet, but I'm leaning towards a yes, which everybody on my staff is aghast that I'm saying this.
But uh I I am too.
But you know, give me some credit.
You you does everybody in there have no faith in me?
What do you think?
I'm gonna go on there and get chewed up alive?
So what?
Who cares?
That's the fact that you're going on, you're an outrage.
Jeez.
Just don't do it.
Don't do it.
Well, you'll do it anyway.
I agree totally.
If they called Newt, Stalin and Hitler, what are they gonna say about you?
Okay, who cares?
Who cares what they say?
You know, do you not because they're losing you know, daily.
Pam, I just I actually think it'll be my outreach, my Christmas gift to liberals.
I will try it and give them peace of mind that who was on the view that said, our uteruses are in jeopardy.
I'm telling you, there's a collector.
But they it's somebody was reported somewhere that somebody was worried about their uterus.
And I want to go and assure them that if it's gonna be fine.
And that's my purpose.
Now I'm gonna go.
All right, I'm sorry.
I will take everybody's anger and angst and shock and awe against me and take it under consideration, okay?
I have every confidence that you can do it and and do it well.
All right.
It's just being heard over the winches.
You know, uh collectively, I have one underwear smarter than they are.
Oh they get the whole thing.
That's so mean.
It's funny, but it's mean.
All right, listen, let not your heart be trouble, Pam.
I'll be nice.
I'll be fine.
And what, Jason?
You'll go on.
You you'll take everything that we've told you, and you'll toss it in the trash and do what you want to do anyway.
You know what this the difference between me and all of you in there are.
I'm not being a sore winner.
You know, I I actually can identify with how horrible they feel.
You guys don't remember.
I was kind of invested in 07, 08, and 2012, and I lost.
And for all the people that say, Oh, Hannity, you guys in talk radio, you have so much power and influence.
We need to control it and government.
Well, if I had that much power and influence, I could have stopped that lunatic girl that thought her gas was gonna be for free, and that she wouldn't have to worry about her mortgage any g anymore.
I never thought this day would ever happen.
I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car.
I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage.
You know, if I help them, uh hi, I'm here on the Obama phone gas plan.
I get a free phone and I get my gas tank filled for free.
And by the way, I'm looking forward to getting my mortgage check paid for me.
Who thinks this way?
But they actually believed it.
Anyway, I'm not I'm gonna I'm thinking of helping them.
I'm just thinking, this is like it'd be a Christmas gift from Hannity to the left.
That's how I'm looking at you.
You're gonna show off your ninja stuff, aren't you?
That's what you're doing.
No, no, no.
Eventually, eventually what you're like, what do you think of Obama?
You know what I can do?
I could break a board with my head.
That's terribly interesting.
I actually don't do board breaking.
But uh the funny thing is, I what do you think I'm gonna do?
Go on and show my ninja skills to the to the ever so strong and tough women of the view.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
You can't strong with you.
Are you trying to say that the women of the view are not strong?
Are you trying to say that because they're women, they would be unable to defeat you?
I am saying that they I could see that as being very sex this.
I know I know the women of the view.
I am very Why don't we set up a little one-on-one with you and Joy Behar?
Must be how strong she really is.
If you do that, I fully support this um this uh appearance.
You know, my father from a very young age.
Now, my sisters, when I was really, really young, they were able to beat me up.
And it wasn't that long thereafter.
The youngest son became the strongest in the family.
And then all of a sudden, where they never got in trouble for beating on me, as soon as I could take them on.
You know, if I went near my sisters with any type of retaliation, my father was there with the belt.
Don't ever hit your sisters, ever.
But these women are feminists.
They believe that they are equal in every playing field and that they would probably welcome that challenge.
Do you think I would ever raise a hand to a woman?
Ever.
Never.
It's never.
What if you were contractually obligated because if you're not?
I'm not gonna.
What if I drafted that contract today and send it over to the view?
Yeah.
Well, look, even if people throw punches at me, if it's a woman through them, I'm just gonna block them.
That's all.
I'm I'm not gonna use any offensive measure whatsoever.
It's just the way I was raised.
And just like I was raised.
No, I'm not gonna ask Joy to hit my mom.
My core is solid.
Yeah.
Are you guys done?
Are you all having fun in there?
Sunshine, why are you being so quiet laughing in there?
No, your core is solid.
You let me hit you all the time.
Well, you want to hit me because I call your dog stupid, and your dog is kind of the treat is not that bright.
It's a good trade-off.
Stanger, the dog is dumb.
The dog cannot and will not be never be the service dog.
Of the six of us in here, you're defeated on that comment.
But I'm only gonna say this one thing.
I want the dog to fail because I want the dog to be a Hannity show dog.
So I'm actually saying I love the dog so much, I don't want it to go, and I'm even willing to invest in another dog that maybe is a little smarter and a little more trainable.
I love her, but she deserves to give someone who need a dog.
It's never gonna happen because that dog is way too hyper, and that dog does not listen to you, even when you feed it food, it listens to me.
No, no, that's not your dog.
She does listen.
She's very focused.
Treat don't jump, don't jump on Uncle Sean, don't jump on him.
And you're handing the dog food.
Yeah, but that dog bored me to death.
No, well, the other one I thought was fine.
I mean, if you know, you need a dog that wants to lay around all day, that's perfect.
But you know, you need somebody that wants to live a more sedentary lifestyle.
I wouldn't actually pick the very act I wouldn't pick a very active person for the last dog.
But this dog is not gonna make it.
So I'm just preparing you psychologically, emotionally for what's gonna be a very, very disappointing day for you.
But there's an upside, and the upside is I am willing to take on all the responsibility at all the cost of making this the Sean Hannity show dog.
Treat could be the Sean Hannity show dog.
And you can take treat home most nights.
I'll take it home occasionally to let it play with real dogs.
Whatever, it's a dog.
She costs $50,000.
You want to buy her?
Well, if I pay the money, are you gonna give up this notion that it has any chance of passing?
The dog's not gonna pass.
Linda, be honest.
Is that dog gonna pass?
Honest.
You're always honest.
I'm always honest.
I always tell it the way it is.
Is that how I sound?
Good God.
Come on, come on, Miss Honesty, Miss Brutal Honesty.
I feel that I'll never why to you.
Ever.
I like that dog isn't gonna pass.
I feel that that treat may have some uphill climbs.
Now, Ethan, is that dog gonna pass?
No way.
I I would not put money down that she will pass.
Jason, is that dog?
Jason's so Jason is smart.
He actually cordons off an entire area in the control room.
So the dog can't get over by you.
The dog's not always as disciplined as it could be.
But you don't you don't help.
What do you mean I don't help?
I walk in the room, it dives on me.
You can't have a service dog.
A dive on the bottom.
Well, none of us really help.
We're we're I mean, we're basically sabotaging your efforts.
Let's just be open about that.
She's the underdog.
You always root for the underdog.
Okay, I'm rooting for for the underdog to be our show dog, and I will be very proud.
I'll pay for all the veterin bills.
I'll pay for all the the food and anything the treat needs.
I love treat.
I love that dog.
That dog has spirit in life.
The last one was half awake and it's just like sleeping all the time.
Get up.
And then it'll be like, oh, you really gonna make me stand up.
Now that was the perfect service dog because it just wanted to lay there.
Treat is, you know, she's spunky like my dog.
My dogs dive on me every night.
And one of them's 115 pounds.
Boom.
It's like she tries to tackle me as soon as I get in the house, licking my face.
