	Three short days in America's nightmare of Barack Obama as president comes to an end, and the left is having a very, very difficult, hard time coping.
	The snowflakes are out in full force.
	53 Democrats will not be attending the inauguration of Donald Trump.
	It shouldn't surprise anybody.
	53, they're throwing a temper tantrum in Washington, joining boycotts.
	You have unprecedented threats driving the Secret Service inauguration security saying, according to WTOP, that the threat in this environment and the campaign that led up to it is different from all previous ones.
	You have ads in two dozen cities offering protesters up to $2,500 to agitate at the Trump inaugural.
	D.C. bracing for tens of thousands of protesters coming up later this week in D.C. You've got angst simmering as people freaking out.
	You've got calls for impeachment by Maxime Waters.
	We'll play in a second.
	You've got opera stars pulling out.
	They can't take the heat.
	And person after person on the Democratic side suggesting he is not a legitimately elected president.
	This is not confined to the District of Columbia.
	In New York, actor Mark Ruffalo, loser Michael Moore, bigger loser, Alec Baldwin to lead anti-Trump protests.
	Trump derangement syndrome is now a fully recognized psychological disorder.
	And of course, we have the women of the view building walls around the vaginas because people, quote, voted for that schmuck.
	And people are, women are suffering from ellile dysfunction.
	You have never Trump National Security.
	Republicans fear that they have been blacklisted.
	Feminists freaking out.
	Their pro-lifers want to join the women's march.
	Women's March, an echo of decades past.
	We have a new O'Keeffe video while charges that he has been a victim of a counter sting are out there.
	We'll ask him about it today.
	But listen to the latest snowflake update.
	Do you agree with John Lewis?
	Do you agree that Donald Trump is, in effect, not a legitimate president?
	I think that there's no question that the process that elected him was not legitimate.
	When you look at the now evidence from the intelligence agencies that there was the influence from the Russians and involved in the public discourse at the time of the election, when you look at those that were expunged from being able to vote, clearly the process has serious questions about it.
	Will you go to the inauguration on Friday?
	I will not go to the inauguration on Friday.
	I cannot go because of the president-elect's inflammatory comments, his racist campaign, his conflicts of interest, refusal to disclose his taxes, and the last straw was his ad hominem personal attacks on an icon of the civil rights movement, someone who suffered beatings and almost gave his life for this country, John Lewis.
	Of course, those attacks came after John Lewis said he does not believe the president is a legitimate president.
	Something that many people, Republicans and Democrats, including John Lewis, were up in arms over when the president-elect did that to president Obama.
	Well, that's right.
	They're entitled to be upset at what John Lewis said if they want to be.
	They're entitled to agree with him, as I do.
	And the president-elect is entitled to respond.
	Do you respond?
	That the president-elect, although legally elected, is not legitimate for all the reasons.
	Just to be clear, though, President Obama thinks the president-elect Trump is legitimate.
	The president has made very clear that he believes that he is the freely elected president.
	He will be inaugurated on Friday, and he will come into office, hopefully strengthened by the kind of transition that we've tried to run in this White House.
	As somebody who saw his own legitimacy questioned repeatedly as president, President Obama, including by the incoming president-elect, Donald Trump, with that birther nonsense, does he think that Democrats should put this away, this whole idea of legitimate, illegitimate?
	The president's not going to get in the middle of this right now.
	I think what ultimately the president, President-elect Trump's success will be determined by his ability to implement the kinds of policies and have the kind of success that we've had over the course of this administration.
	Have you noticed that your wife is disgusted by the sight of you lately?
	Like, would she rather get a root canal than see you naked?
	Well, you shouldn't have voted for Trump, okay?
	One therapist calls it the Trump bedroom backlash because her clients have lost their sex drive since Trump won.
	So here's my question.
	Is Trump causing electile dysfunction?
	Remember, we talked about the fact that women after the election were going out in droves to get an IUD.
	Oh, yeah, because they thought that their control would be taken away from them.
	Well, yeah, we're impacted politically by it, profoundly by it.
	But I think that the sex drive does die.
	And, you know, we are building a wall around our vaginas.
	And you voted for that, schmuck?
	You voted for that?
	I'm not sleeping with you.
	And one smart person said that they think that what's going to really happen is the Republicans are going to turn on him because he's against big business a lot, and they don't like that.
	And other things that he's doing, they're not going to be happy with him.
	And he has enemies in the Republican Party.
	And Pence will eventually start doing the presidency.
	What do you think about that?
	I mean, it was just a guess.
	Watch your uterus.
	That's all I'm saying.
	Well, let's talk about where that leads to, Congresswoman.
	You've raised a good point here, I guess, for you.
	It is important.
	If we find out that somebody on behalf of Donald Trump was on the phone or in email relations with somebody in Russia or the ambassador to America from Russia and there was some sort of, as you call it, collusion, then what?
	Does that make Trump subject to impeachment?
	What do you mean by not legitimate?
	Just generally what you mean by the term.
	If you find out there was a connection, there was collusion, your term.
	Well, here's what I'm trying to get to.
	If we discover that Donald Trump or his advocates played a role in helping to devise strategy, if they're the ones who came up with crooked Hillary, if they're the ones who came up with she's ill, something's wrong with her energy, and the way that he basically described her in the campaign, I think that is something that would put the question squarely on the table whether or not he should be impeached.
	So you think you could have an impeachable offense before you take office, in other words?
	Well, I think that at the point that investigations discover and can confirm and document any of that, that they had a role in helping to strategize, they had a role in attempting to determine the outcome, that in many ways they used the information that they got from the DNC when they hacked into our emails, etc.
	If that was used against Hillary Clinton in some ways, yes, I think that's impeachable.
	Give me a joke.
	I do not believe this is happening.
	I'm literally about to fing kill myself and I'm not kidding.
	You better fix this right now.
	I literally am going to die.
	I need an ambulance.
	It's raining snowflakes all around the District of Columbia.
	I can't make this up.
	And by the way, here we go again.
	So the recount didn't work.
	The John Lewis attack didn't work.
	Golden Showergate turned out to be a hoax.
	The evidence the Russians hacked the election has yet, any evidence has yet to emerge.
	So Democrats now they're going to Gloria Ulred on the eve here of Donald Trump's inauguration.
	And she is holding a press conference or did earlier today announcing a lawsuit representing, I guess, Donald Trump for inappropriate conduct.
	Let's go after him that way.
	I love Maxine Waters saying, if there's evidence that the Russians made her appear weak and sick, that's it.
	Vladimir Putin poisoned Hillary, and that's why she fell down when she was at the Freedom Tower that day.
	Had nothing to do with anything else.
	They're going insane.
	You know, and so is the media.
	The headline on the Drudge Report now: bitter media plays with approval polls, but that's exactly what they're doing.
	Trump's favorability shows he's going into office with the lowest approval rating of any past president at a time of inauguration, having him at 40% favorable, 54% unfavorable.
	Then when you dig down deep, just kind of like the polls were so wrong during the election and the election day polls were so wrong, the exit polls were so wrong, you find the same mistakes that they keep making.
	ABC News, Washington Post poll had an eight-point sampling advantage margin for Democrats.
	Only 23% of the results were taken from Republicans.
	How is that a fair poll ever under any circumstances?
	CNN, same thing.
	Eight-point advantage for the Democrats.
	Only 24% respondents saying that they are Republicans.
	So if you've got a total of 1,000 adults interviewed by telephone nationwide, and among the entire sample, 32% describing themselves as Democrats, 24% Republicans, 44% Independents, or another party, of course you're going to get these results.
	And they just cannot control themselves.
	They can't stop themselves.
	The Daily Mail article, Trump rightly pointed out, these polls are rigged as it relates to his public approval rating, just like Obama's are rigged as he exits with a much higher approval rating.
	I get people like Obama personally.
	I mean, how at this point?
	I don't know, but they do.
	But anyway, if you look at the way these polls are skewed, it is just absolutely positively typical.
	The same people that colluded with Hillary are the same people that are doing these polls.
	You know, Donald Trump prayed with Martin Luther King Jr.'s son, Martin Luther King Jr. III, to heal the nation.
	And anyway, they discussed ways they can continue to enfranchise people.
	The press secretary Sean Spicer revealed that the two had prayed together, tweeted a picture of them together.
	Over the weekend, Trump blasted John Lewis because John Lewis said he was illegitimate, just like he did with George W. Bush.
	King said after the meeting, in the heat of emotion, a lot of things get said on both sides.
	But they discussed universal free photo IDs, voting rights, all things of interest to both of them.
	Anyway, and then Martin Luther King Jr.'s niece voted for Trump.
	What are they doing over at CNN?
	So last night, yet a CNN panelist get this, referring to black leaders who agree to meet with President-elect Trump.
	He's inviting them.
	Obama never invited me.
	He called down some guy to beat me up.
	Have hand, tear this guy, Mr. Burgess.
	So tear up Mr. Hannity.
	Okay.
	But anyway, Mark Lamont Hill referred to Trump's diversity team member, Bruce Lavelle, as a part of a group of, quote, get this mediocre Negroes.
	His words.
	Because they keep bringing up comedians and actors and athletes to represent black interests is the meaning.
	It's disrespectful and it's condescending.
	Bring some people up there with some expertise, Donald Trump.
	Don't just bring up people to entertain.
	So you were at the meeting.
	You heard and saw everything.
	I don't understand how anything I said would prompt that question.
	Unless Steve Harvey turned into a policy analyst in the behind-the-scenes meeting, then it doesn't matter what I was doing.
	I'm saying, Mark Harvey was the people he's trumpeting up and putting in front of the cameras.
	Mark, you weren't even there.
	You don't even know what happened.
	Okay?
	Okay.
	Yes, I do.
	Are you disagreeing that he brought me?
	You weren't in the room, sir.
	You weren't there.
	How does that negate my point that he brought Steve Harvey and then put him in front of the cameras?
	That's my critique.
	Here's the deal.
	You don't know what happened.
	First of all, Pastor Darrell Scott, Michael Cohen, they are in a process of bringing all types of people from all over the country, from all different backgrounds, like we have, the member of the Versity Coalition, where we reach out to all different types of people.
	It was a bunch of mediocre Negroes being dragged in front of TV as a photo op for Donald Trump's exploitative campaign against black people, and you are Prime Minister.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	I'm shocked.
	We'll get back to this when we continue here.
	Also, James O'Keefe under fire was he himself.
	There's a claim by left-wingers that, in fact, he was stung in the middle of his sting operation.
	We'll get to the bottom of this where the rest of the media will, of course, ignore it.
	Bringing jobs back to America and getting America back to work.
	Look, I'm being realistic.
	I'm kind of feeling a little bit giddy today.
	Everyone's been asking me, how do you feel after Donald Trump won?
	And I've, my aunt, you know, aren't you happy?
	Aren't you?
	I'm like, I feel relief.
	I feel, all right, we got a chance.
	We got an opportunity here.
	And that's been my thinking.
	Kind of watching all these snowflakes melt is kind of making me a little giddy.
	It's going to be very entertaining for the next four years at least, maybe the next eight years, because these people are in complete meltdown mode.
	They're losing it.
	But when you apply it, it's sort of like a snowflake superstorm is headed to D.C. this week.
	But if you apply what's really going to happen, imagine the fight over the Supreme Court justice.
	Let's say he picks Pryor of Alabama or somebody that is a strong originalist.
	That's going to get ugly.
	When he tries to vet refugees, that's going to get ugly.
	When he tries to build a border wall, you're going to have every group in the world saying he's racist, even though the wall is going to have a door in it.
	In other words, people can come in legally.
	When he tries to send education back to the states, what do you think the NEA is going to do?
	When he tries to become energy independent and allows fracking and drilling and allows coal mining, what do you think is going to happen?
	The left environmental extremists are going to lose their minds collectively.
	It's going to be non-stop, the never-ending snowflake superstorm.
	All across the street.
	My monopoly is happening.
	I'm literally about to fing kill myself.
	And I'm not kidding.
	You better fix this shit right now.
	I literally am going to die.
	I need an ambulance.
	Send the girl an ambulance.
	Quiet her up for a few minutes in the hospital.
	Give her some happy pills.
	We have medicine for that.
	Anyway, what do you think is going to happen when they try to replace Obamacare with competition and health savings?
	They're going to go nuts.
	When they try and reduce the top marginal tax rates for corporations from one of the highest in the industrialized world at 35% to 15%, seven tax brackets to three tax brackets, what's going to happen?
	They're going to go nuts.
	The media is already going insane.
	How could CNN possibly air what they aired last night?
	Trump is considering a 20% cut in the federal workforce.
	Why?
	Because it's bloated, bloated bureaucracy that's out of control.
	Meanwhile, the IMF is predicting a U.S. economic boom, crediting Trump.
	GM is going to invest a billion dollars in new plants.
	You know, 7,000 to 10,000 jobs created.
	A 10% spending cut.
	That's what I wanted to hear for a long time.
	You know, meanwhile, you've got, some people will never learn, Finland is experimenting with providing citizens with basic income.
	That's not going to work.
	I'm telling you, a snowflake superstorm is headed for D.C. Get ready.
	It's going to be a four-year storm.
	So like many of you, I used to suffer from insomnia.
	No matter what I did, I just couldn't get a perfect night's sleep.
	Well, then I met Mike Lindell, the inventor of MyPillow.
	He got me fitted for my very own MyPillow, and it's changed my life.
	I fall asleep faster.
	I stay asleep longer, and now you can too.
	Just go to mypillow.com or call 800-467-1962.
	Use the promo code Sean to take advantage of Mike's two-for-one offer.
	Now, MyPillow is made right here in the USA, has a 60-day unconditional money-back guarantee and a 10-year warranty.
	And by the way, you can even wash it and dry it.
	Just go to mypillow.com or call 800-467-1962 promo code Sean to get Mike's special two-for-one offer.
	So James O'Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, has another video he's releasing today.
	This time, it's undercover video that shows some of these wacko snowflakes are trying to disrupt Metro Rail service and disrupt travel on bridges in D.C.
	And then you've got another group of people that are claiming, no, this was a sting to James O'Keefe's sting.
	In other words, a counter sting.
	And so we'll ask James O'Keefe about that.
	Do you really counter sting somebody by saying you're going to commit acts of terrorism?
	Now, I got a whole pile of emails that James O'Keefe sent me.
	It doesn't seem that they have any knowledge of any sting operation, and it doesn't seem plausible to me, but we'll address it because our job is to tell you the truth and let you decide.
	But anyway, we'll get to that coming up at the top of the next hour.
	You know, I've been worried about a couple of things so far with the Republicans.
	And let me just lay it out in all its ugly detail.
	I didn't like Republicans raising the debt ceiling $9.7 trillion, which just happens to equal the amount that Obama accumulated in the last eight years.
	This would be over 10 years, but it doesn't make a difference.
	I thought the Republican Party was supposed to be the party of limited government and balanced budgets, the party that grows the economy.
	So I'm concerned about where their mindset is.
	I'm concerned when they talk about a trillion dollars being spent on infrastructure.
	Well, that sounds an awful lot like the stimulus plan.
	I know we have broken down dilapidated infrastructure and bridges and tunnels and airports and everything else in between.
	And I know we need to fix a lot of these things, and I'm all for fixing them.
	But if we're not going to pay for that as we go, that's problematic for me because I'm a conservative.
	The good news is this, that it looks like we may have a president who's serious about spending cuts.
	And when I get an opportunity to see Mr. Trump after he's in the White House, I will ask him about this.
	But he made a promise to slash government, and he's asked the incoming team to pursue spending and staffing cuts, and the reductions in some departments could go as high as 10% of the budget and 20% of the staff, and numbers that would rock Washington, D.C. to its core.
	So many of these jobs have become, over the years, part of the bureaucracy, and all this patronage that goes on and people needing jobs because they help a candidate get elected, then they think that they have a right to get something out of it.
	And, you know, that's not how it's supposed to work.
	If you support a candidate, you want to help them serve their country.
	You know, they're supposed to be public servants.
	You know, I've talked about the penny plan for years.
	I think that's one way you eliminate baseline budgeting.
	You cut a cent out of every dollar government spends every year for six years, and you balance your budget.
	You live within your means.
	You stop robbing from future generations.
	Now, there is a way to pay for infrastructure.
	I just want, if we're going to spend that much money, of course, Democrats will support it because it's big spending plans.
	And if the money's spent the way it's usually spent, you know, we end up wasting 50 cents of every dollar that goes through the bureaucracy, and that never works out well for anybody in any way.
	So what I'd like to see is maybe, you know, give the states the money directly and hold them accountable for whatever spending that they're going to have and make sure the project gets done on budget on time.
	Not asking for under budget and done early, it's fine.
	Anyway, so the IMF is also predicting.
	I think this is a pretty big story.
	International Monetary Fund is now forecasting increased U.S. economic growth lasting at least through 2018.
	They're crediting the new policies that are expected to be implemented under President Trump, a booming economy.
	I guess that's bad news for Democrats.
	Can you imagine how distraught Meryl Streep and John Lewis are going to be when they find out about this?
	Now think about this.
	If you are in business and let's say you're a multinational corporation and you've parked your money overseas billions of dollars and it's in the trillions when you add up all the multinational corporations and Donald Trump says, okay, instead of the 35% tax that we'll have if you bring the money back, we'll drop it to 10%.
	Maybe they'll drop it to 7 or 5% if you offer to invest X number of millions of dollars in the cities that need it most, like Detroit, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Philly, some of the inner cities, and you promise to build factories and warehouses there.
	Why not?
	That'd be great.
	Anyway, they're predicting a pretty, you know, we've had a horrible 2016.
	Well, Hannity, look at the stock market, Hannity.
	This is your problem.
	You don't look at the stock market.
	The stock market, this guy that calls in, it doesn't mean a damn thing to somebody that's out of the labor force or somebody that's in poverty or somebody on food stamps.
	It doesn't mean a thing to them what the stock market does.
	The Dow is at 19,008, heading towards 20,000, Hannity.
	You've got to give Obama credit.
	Well, I'm not a big investor in the stock market.
	I don't give a flip about the stock market.
	I have a financial guy that I work with.
	He argues with me all the time to keep money in the stock market.
	I'm like, I don't trust the stock market.
	To me, it's gambling.
	And by the time we, the investor, finally get in and all the insiders got their piece of the pie, it's too late.
	That's how I've always looked at it.
	Now, if you're in there for 10 years, you know, you leave it there, you don't touch it over a 10-year period of time, money you don't need.
	Yes, historically, it shows that you will see a return on your dollar.
	Okay, I'm just, I prefer bricks and mortar.
	I want to be able to touch it and feel it, and at least I got something in my hands at the end of the day that's worthwhile.
	Anyway, so we'll see, but this is not going to be an easy thing.
	Now, GM, now this is after Carrier, after Ford said they're going to build their plant, not in Mexico, but I think they said Tennessee.
	Then, of course, other jobs being created.
	We had Fiat Chrysler.
	They're going to not build that facility in Mexico.
	They're going to build it, I think, in Michigan.
	So Michigan's getting a huge influx of money and jobs.
	Thank God, this is a state that lost half their population.
	They want to bulldoze entire Detroit neighborhoods for the purpose of consolidating services.
	I don't know if you can still do it, but you used to be able to buy a home in Detroit for a buck on the internet.
	A buck.
	Because people didn't want to pay the tax bill.
	And so they're saying, well, we can't afford services now that we've lost half the population.
	Other good news, GM is going to invest $1 billion in U.S. plants.
	At least 7,000 jobs are going to be created there.
	Hopefully, those will also be in Detroit.
	Detroit needs a renaissance.
	It needs big time.
	Same with places like Cleveland, another place.
	Fiat is Michigan, by the way, and Ohio, Fiat Chrysler.
	But a 20% slash of federal workers and a 10% cut and reduction in government spending would be a great start.
	And what I don't understand is why Republicans don't push this themselves.
	Why does it take Donald Trump to do this?
	I thought they were the party of limited government.
	Greater freedom, greater responsibility, individual responsibility.
	Trump's stance against ISIS and Iran wins praise from Saudi leaders.
	Well, of course, the Sunnis are in Saudi Arabia, constantly battling the Shia in Iran.
	And, of course, the Iranians were supporting the rebels in Yemen against the Saudis.
	But, you know, they want total hegemony in the region.
	It's not that difficult to find out.
	That's what makes the $1.5 billion Obama gave the Iranian mullahs so absolutely insidious.
	Anyway, some of our Middle East allies are looking forward to a president who intends to do something about terrorism in the region.
	But listen, if you're thinking Donald Trump is going to get involved in some foreign conflict or war, I'd think, again, I don't see that happening.
	And frankly, after what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan and 5,000-plus Americans dead, American blood, sweat, tears, and lives and limbs being blown off, and then only to hand this territory that they fought and won over to ISIS, I'm not so quick to ever engage in any foreign conflict if we don't have any intention of actually destroying the enemy and winning and holding our victory.
	By the way, back to the snowflakes.
	Huffington Post insists that Hillary is the legitimate president-elect.
	Who cares what Huffington Post thinks?
	Well, I have to cover the story.
	I know you're mad at me because it's a question that has been raised, and I'm going to let James O'Keefe answer because he's very capable of answering.
	Listen, Linda's mad at the Huffington Post because they wrote this article because the left is claiming those that got caught on the James O'Keefe Project Veritas tape are claiming, oh, we knew it was him, and this was a counter sting.
	Now, that's just the way it works in espionage.
	We spy on the Russians.
	We spy on China, Iran, North Korea, and all of our other enemies, and they spy on us.
	And then we try and catch them up, and they try and catch us up.
	And what James O'Keefe has done over the years is he has exposed a lot of fraud and a lot of corruption, and he's taken a lot of abuse for it.
	So if there ever was a countersting operation, that would not surprise me.
	Doesn't mean he didn't do good work.
	It just means that maybe they got him.
	And I'm going to let him respond.
	And by asking him the question, I'm giving him a chance to defend himself.
	So stop getting all hissy in there and giving me those nasty looks during my monologue, which throws off my thought process, which is extraordinarily annoying, which you did on the last day of last year when I was leaving because you didn't want me doing my show that day because you had to change the airflight for Rose Tennant.
	Oh, sorry.
	Excuse me.
	Too much insider information.
	Anyway, a coalition of black pastors condemned the attempt to sabotage Trump.
	You know, if Donald Trump actually fixes the educational system in inner-city America, if he's able to revitalize cities and create jobs and incentivize corporations because of limiting the bureaucracy and cutting regulation, burdensome regulation that's costing trillions of dollars for these corporations, allow them to bring back repatriated money.
	Allow them to become energy independent as a country.
	Allow us to get rid of Obamacare.
	That'll be like a tax cut for everybody.
	You know, I've got to tell you something.
	There's going to be opportunity for so many people.
	And if, for once, politicians actually keep their promises to the black community, there's an opportunity to change the demographics in this country forever.
	You want to know the party of Lincoln, the party of the Voting Rights Civil Rights Act?
	That was Republicans who passed that because Democratic leaders in the South, like Al Gore's father and Robert KKK Byrd and George Wallace were all Democrats filibustering the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
	You know, this is sad, too.
	Imagine a group, the media outrage, if anti-Clinton protesters had suddenly started harassing Chelsea Clinton or the children of Barack and Michelle.
	Haven't I said many times on this program, children are out of bounds, leave them alone?
	Well, you don't see anything like this in American media today.
	The fact that, for example, for the second time in a month now, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner and their family have been targeted by protesters.
	You have these anti-Trump activists bringing cardboard boxes representing what they wanted the future first daughter to bring as she and her husband now relocate to the White House in Washington, where Jared is going to work as a senior advisor.
	Protesters urge Devanka, don't forget about Planned Parenthood, civil rights, climate change.
	Well, it's not, she wasn't elected president.
	And the fact that she's there to help her father out of love and her husband is giving up all his businesses because he loves his country, they should not have to put up with any of this crap.
	But the double standard is what it is.
	You have State Department snowflakes attending stress workshops to cope with the Trump takeover.
	You want to know where the swamp in Washington is?
	The State Department.
	That needs to be drained.
	Anyway, they're holding stress management sessions following Trump's presidential election victory.
	Well, who the hell's paying for all this?
	You know, I have a stressful job, too.
	I have a stressful life, and I don't sleep a whole hell of a lot.
	But I sleep better because of my pillow.
	Seriously.
	You know, the workshop's entitled The Emotional Transition: Managing the Stress of Change.
	Good grief.
	What are we going to get them?
	Puppy dogs too?
	And kitty cats also to pet?
	That's going to be a joke.
	I do not believe this is happening.
	I'm literally about to fing kill myself, and I'm not kidding.
	You better fix this right now.
	I literally am going to die.
	I need an ambulance.
	I'm going to need an ambulance if I have to listen to that crap one more time.
	You're forbidden from playing it.
	That's it.
	Stop playing it.
	Look at Jason.
	He's got that look on his face like, I don't care what you say.
	I'm going to do whatever I want because I know you'll never fire me.
	And you're not allowed to play that one either.
	And you already know you're not allowed to play that one.
	All right.
	Stop.
	Seriously.
	Do I have to have an on-air fight with my staff?
	Everyone's laughing at you.
	You're encouraging him.
	Stop encouraging him.
	He's already incorrigible.
	He doesn't need your help and assistance.
	Look at Linda, and you're enjoying every minute of it, and you can barely hide your giddiness and contain it.
	Warren's the only one being nice to me in there, as usual.
	Ethan is a troublemaker and tries to hide it under the protection and wing of Linda.
	You told Sean you need his insider updates straight from the source on today's big news.
	And Hannity gives you more every day.
	So why did Obama give another half a billion taxpayer dollars to the U.N. rat hole?
	Why are we funding?
	I wish we'd kicked them out.
	Story today, eight men, the wealthiest, have as much wealth as 3.6 billion people who are the poorest.
	Why would you even make that comparison?
	It's never a zero sun game.
	basically shut down that line.
	The D.A. was hit, Metro Center, Gallery Place, and they're all closed up to walk to and that's every single line you see.
	A significant number of us, up to a dozen that we've talked to so far at least, expressed interest in arrestable action, civil disobedience.
	But the agreement that we left Sunday on was we're not going to do that unless, as you pointed out, it's actually effective.
	Go right now to second in me.
	Help us block the vehicle traffic and the Netflix traffic going to the inauguration.
	So simultaneous to the checkpoint blockade this morning, we're also doing a series of blockades.
	We're going to try to blockade all the major ingress points into the city, which include, which would include shutting down major bridges and highway access points, as well as shutting down Metro Rail.
	We don't think these are going to be necessarily erectile actions, but there is a possibility you could be, so keep that in mind if you want to participate.
	Our goal is to continue to help shut down the city and like inauguration and giant cluster that day.
	So, be prepared.
	We're going to help make an inauguration a giant cluster.
	All right, that is the latest from Project Veritas and their sting operation.
	James O'Keefe, of course, who is the founder of Project Veritas.
	They're talking about shutting down bridges and trains and so on and so forth, even talking about taking a chain, you know, one end to the car and so on and so forth, the cars of a train to stop the train and shut down the Metro Rail Service in D.C. to prevent people from getting to this.
	A controversy emerged yesterday where the Huffington Post, Washington Bureau chief, Ryan Grimm, he's been on this program before, is actually claiming that, in fact, this was a sting or a counter sting operation to catch James O'Keefe and his network attempting to sow chaos at Trump's inauguration.
	And anyway, they released a video of this counter sting that uncovered evidence that James O'Keefe's group is trying to sow chaos at the Trump inaugural, an effort that portrays critics of Trump who march against him as violent fringes.
	And he claims that the counter sting carried out by the undercurrent and Americans Take Action, a project of previous target, in other words, James O'Keefe has infiltrated them before, managed to surreptitiously record elements of O'Keefe's network offering huge sums of money to progressive activists if they would disrupt the ceremony and quote put a stop to the inauguration and related proceedings to such a degree that donors to the clandestine effort would turn on a TV and maybe not even see Trump and so on and so forth.
	And this is apparently an effort led by Lauren Windsor, sponsored by American Family Voices and among a group of affiliated groups, et cetera, et cetera.
	Anyway, joining us to respond to all of this is James O'Keefe himself.
	He is the founder of Project Veritas.
	So I have the letter from your lawyer in front of me.
	And so I want to ask you, what do you make of what the Huffington Post charged yesterday about this being a counter sting to your sting as their rationale or excuse for the things you have on tape of them saying?
	I mean, I think it's ridiculous.
	I mean, it's unbelievable.
	I mean, when we met with the FBI, they were aware that they were planning the activities to disrupt the inauguration.
	This supposed countersting had nothing to do with this investigation.
	It was about another organization.
	And in that case, our journalist was not even inciting.
	She was asking questions.
	We had a dozen different people involved in this investigation.
	But in this particular case, these guys, these Scott Green is the name of the anti-fascist who was talking about the ACID attack in the vent shaft, sent multiple emails after this meeting, CCing all of his crew and our undercover journalist saying things like, quote, I've included everyone who will be considered need to know, saying things about the specific steps they're taking to do, quote, reconnaissance to accomplish their mission.
	And if they really were trying to film me, why would they wait a month and after our video was released to say so?
	Well, how long after you took this video did they figure out that you had taped them?
	We taped the video on December 18th in Washington, and it wasn't until we released the video yesterday that they made any statements about supposedly.
	But do you have internal emails that they had sent out to cover up because they figured out that Emails, not in, I have all of them in front of me.
	We put out a video today, a second, another installment.
	All the emails, they don't mention anything about knowing that we're there filming our reporter.
	Of course, if they were going to turn the tables on me, they would say that in planning myself.
	By the way, it would not surprise me, by the way.
	You know, this is sort of like covert operations.
	I mean, we spy on the Russians, the Russians spy on us, the Chinese spy on us, we spy on them, the Iranians spy on us, we spy on them.
	You know, it would not shock me in any way that, you know, you have gotten so many people and embarrassed so many people over the years that they would try to counter sting you.
	It would not.
	But they didn't counter sting us.
	No, I know.
	No, but you know what I'm saying.
	Yes, so this undercurrent thing is a completely separate group of people.
	One of our journalists showed up and was asking questions, and then they ambushed her.
	Because sometimes we do get burned.
	Sometimes our people do get found out.
	And in that case, they ambushed us right there and then.
	But in this case, we did it and they sent us dozens of emails, CCing our undercover.
	And then when we released the video, they came up with this ridiculous excuse, which was the biggest CYA ridiculous excuse I've ever seen.
	And by the way, the FBI and the Secret Service take this so seriously.
	They had cases of these people in front of us when we met with them.
	They had their names.
	Our information was deemed helpful and confirmed some of the intelligence these agencies have already received.
	Our video I'd like to talk about today shows them literally trying to shut down railroad trains with chains, talking about that type of behavior, which is terrorism.
	Well, what we played, it said, and I'll read it, it said, so we figured out the trains pull up.
	One person's going to lock one end of a chain to an edge, and on the other end of the chain, the end of the car, so on and so forth, done.
	It takes 15 seconds and everyone could leave and literally it can't go anywhere at that point.
	It's anchored and you can use a really thin chain and you don't need a heavy chain and it would require like a bolt cutter to undo basically to shut down that line.
	And if I were to hit the metro center, Gallery Place, and this particular plaza, they're all close enough to walk to and that's every single line in the city.
	So they're talking about bridges and they're talking about, you know, in this particular case, shutting the trains down and basically disrupting.
	You know, I guess the thing that I look, James, I just know over the years you have really, really stung people to the point where their solar plexus hurt.
	I don't know if people got arrested as a result of your sting operations, but some of them certainly, in my opinion, should have been.
	And the idea that somebody's going to joke on tape because, quote, they know you infiltrated and play along and come up and concoct this story about using this acid and shutting down, you know, and getting it into the HVAC and shutting down trains and shutting down bridges and all of this stuff.
	It seems highly unlikely to me.
	That's my own personal opinion.
	But, you know, I want to be fair to my audience and bring up what people are saying about it.
	And our audience will decide on their own.
	But, you know, as the letter from your lawyer pointed out, that this J-20, D.C. anti-fascist coalition, you know, it sounds to me like they're trying, you know, if they were trying to execute a reverse sting on Project Veritas, why would the FBI Secret Service, members of the D.C. Metro Police, say to you that they had ongoing intelligence about these individuals and concerns about the very thing that these people are saying on tape?
	Yeah, Sean, that's a great point.
	They would never do such a thing.
	Like I said, when we get burned or found out, what they immediately do is ambush us.
	They immediately send emails to each other.
	We're on all of their emails up to yesterday, up to the point we released the video.
	I published it.
	What happened when you published that video?
	What were those emails saying?
	Oh, the email said it had Scott Green and Andrew Batcher and Luke Kuhn and other individuals who were in the video were talking about the objective to case the building, case, done recon on the building to ensure they can sue the act and talk about all these things.
	They said, Scott Green said, I think I've included everyone who'll be considered need to know.
	There's a video from inside their planning meetings where they're talking about targeting deplorable to their entire group and saying we have a couple things that we're doing that we can't even say in this meeting because it's so secret.
	So it's what I'm upset about, Sean, is the media, which holds us to this ridiculous, impossible standard that doesn't even make any sense.
	These people are on videotape.
	The FBI knows about it.
	I mean, do their job.
	The media should call the FBI and get a comment.
	I don't think they've done that, by the way.
	I can give them their number and they can corroborate it.
	They're probably going to make an arrest.
	And by the way, another piece of information, the people.
	By the way, you are kind enough because I did ask you.
	You sent over all of these emails and I'm reading them and they read as real to me going back to as early as mid-December.
	Sean, I called the people who are putting on this inaugural ball on Thursday night, and they said that some of these organizers, Scott Green and the other guy, actually bought tickets.
	They had purchased tickets, which is an - I don't know how much more evidence you need to get in to do this thing to the HVAC.
	They're not lying to me.
	They purchased the actual tickets.
	They cross-referenced the names of the thousand guests who signed up.
	So it's more of a case of media malpractice.
	The media is trying to, and by the way, if someone gets hurt, I think the media is complicit in this.
	I think now the media is becoming almost criminal.
	They're becoming complicit.
	If someone actually does get injured because they neglected to publish this information and make this aware and put pressure on law enforcement, ask law enforcement for comment, and they try to put chains on trains, and they said they're going to punch people in the throat in the video we just released, which is an assault.
	You know, all these years, James, you've been right.
	All these years.
	You have stung a lot of people.
	And even if this bizarre story that they're writing about in the Huffington Post ended up being true, it wouldn't matter to me.
	It would just mean, okay, it doesn't matter.
	Because whether or not somebody said it in jest, and I'm having a hard time digesting why they would do that, how that would happen, how the emails go back so far.
	What is the tape that they have on you, supposedly?
	Do you know?
	They have a tape where one of our people got compromised a number of weeks ago looking into a different group.
	We're releasing a video tomorrow, tomorrow, on that.
	Has nothing to do with this.
	It was a separate event where one of our reporters was asking a question.
	They realized she never incited any violence.
	She was just asking, What do you guys plan to do?
	And they immediately jumped out with camcorders and said, You work for Project Veritas.
	Has nothing to do with this.
	So this is separate and apart.
	So the Huffington Post, you're saying, got it wrong.
	100% wrong.
	100% wrong.
	And by the way, look at the video.
	There's nothing in the video.
	She says, what do you guys plan to do?
	All right, stay right there, James.
	We have a couple more minutes left.
	We'll hold it over for you.
	We'll get back.
	James O'Keefe, Project Veritas.
	Fighting the Trump hating liberal media one day at a time.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	All right, as we continue with James O'Keefe, he is the founder of Project Veritas, and his latest sting operation shows that you have these leftists planning to disrupt the inauguration and the inaugural balls and to attack bridges and even the Metro Railway.
	We have some at the Huffington Post and others say, well, we executed a reverse sting on Project Veritas.
	Well, let me go back to the issue here.
	What if you're right, and what indication do you have that when you met with the FBI Secret Service and Metro DC police, were they taking it seriously?
	Well, my lawyer met with them.
	First of all, we called them.
	We showed them the tapes and they called us back immediately.
	The agents we visited already knew about the individuals we named the video.
	A guy named Legba was talking about chaining, putting chains on railroad tracks.
	These are things that we listened to.
	We did not incite.
	We did not, in these planning meetings, we did not bring this up.
	These were things they were describing amongst themselves that we were recording.
	The agents were aware of Legba, Carafour, Luke Kuhn, and were aware that they were planning these activities to disrupt the inauguration events.
	And they said that our information, quote, confirmed some of the intelligence these agents had already received.
	So our meeting with the Joint Task Force lasted two hours.
	And then the anti-fascist coalition of Disrupt J-20 sent us email after email after email, CCing our undercover journalists about their plans, never once ever indicating that they were trying to reverse sting us.
	So I trust the FBI over the Huffington Post.
	Yeah, well, look, look, you've been right so many times.
	As I've said to you earlier, and I think it annoyed you, it was not meant to annoy you.
	You know, with all your success, it would not shock me at some point that you get counter-stinged.
	And I just think that's the way espionage works.
	And on a different level, this would be the same thing.
	It's like a sword and a shield.
	You know, it's, you know, strategic defense to stop ballistic missiles.
	It's patriot missile system.
	So, you know, and what they have, for example, set up in Israel, which I saw on, you know, with my own eyes.
	But with that said, at the end of the day, there are anarchists.
	There are people.
	There are meetings.
	These things were said.
	And unless there's proof, positive evidence that they did counter-sting you, I think the only prudent, responsible thing to do is assume these people mean what they say.
	And you're pointing out that this is an entirely different tape from an entirely different operation, and that is not even connected to this, that they're saying, oh, we got Project Veritas.
	No, sometimes our people get burned.
	The reporter Allison in the video has been burned four times in one year.
	She's the young woman who went undercover on, she goes undercover almost every day, and she changes her look and changes her name.
	That was a separate group, not involving this anti-fascist group.
	Of course, they're all left-wing, but no, that was a separate encounter with a separate individual, and she never incited anything.
	But like I said, they actually bought tickets to this inaugural event, and they bought them in the name of some of the people that we encountered.
	I'm running out of time here.
	Let me ask this question.
	If I invited this Huffington Post guy on with you tomorrow, would you do the show with him?
	I would love that.
	I would do anything to speak to these guys.
	The media won't have me on, Sean, because the more true it gets, the worse it gets.
	Well, look, you know what?
	Maybe one time it's going to be true that it's something wrong, but you've been right a lot of times.
	And I think that this is so serious.
	We've got to examine if there's any possibility of truth here for the protection of everybody.
	And everybody needs to know that there are radical snowflakes out there that would commit acts of violence.
	It's just a fact.
	And it's like everything else involving terrorism.
	It's better to say something and be wrong.
	Anyway, that's my opinion.
	I've got to run.
	Come on.
	I would love to come on with the Huffington Post guy.
	All right, you got it.
	We'll try and work that out for tomorrow.
	James O'Keefe, Project Veritas.
	You know, a sad story.
	I know this is a little off-topic today, even though we're three days away from a new president.
	This is how bad addiction is.
	And you look at one of the most dangerous drugs that is so over-prescribed.
	It was, I think it was a 60-minute show.
	I don't remember.
	I know I saw it on TV.
	And per capita, in one part of Ohio, they're giving out hundreds of oxycontin pills per person, hundreds of them.
	I mean, and that's how people get started.
	And then I told the story about how these big gangs now in Mexico and elsewhere that make this heroin, well, they're now targeting kids in better neighborhoods that have more money as a means of getting them addicted to heroin.
	One dealer was on Nat Geo on a special.
	So I get you to take one hit of heroin.
	I got you.
	I own you for the rest of your life for the most part.
	Very hard to kick the habit.
	Way these kids get started is mom and dad go in and they have some medical procedure, and then the doctor prescribes them way more pain pills than they ever need, and the parents never throw it out, and they keep it in their medicine cabinet, and then the kids think it's really cool, and they take the Vicodin or the Percocet or the OxyContin, and next thing you know, they're addicted, and they can't pay $80 a pill on the open market when they're addicted.
	So, they end up taking a $10 bag of heroin, a stronger high, also risking their lives, and highly addictive, and then they're gone.
	They start snorting it, smoking it.
	Next thing you know, they're shooting it, and their life is over.
	But addiction is so insidious that there was a story today in the New York Post, dog abuse on the rise as addicts use a cruel scam to swindle veterinarians out of cheap pills.
	And what they do is they're hurting their dogs because there's this particular drug that a pain pill that they give, you know, they basically go doggy doctor shopping, traveling from clinic to clinic, injuring their dogs every single time.
	And, for example, the cost of oxycodone, which can be up to $10 for a 10-milligram pill, this drug that they give dogs, one of the few that's transferable from humans, is only, you know, $25 for a thousand dollar pill bottle.
	And so they end up using that drug.
	And now they're hurting their dogs to get the drug.
	That's how addicted they are.
	They've so lost track of any sense of truth and reality in their lives that this is what they end up doing.
	I mean, it's just insanity, but it's happening, and it's real.
	And it's sad.
	I mean, the fact that people could do that to dogs.
	All right, one other thing I want to, you know, in the NFL support, their TV ratings have been down all year.
	Now, I would factor in one of the reasons is, and there's an ebb and flow to political coverage, and similarly, there's an ebb and flow to sports coverage, but Colin Kaepernick taking a knee all season with the NFL supporting it, it's 100% one of the reasons people aren't watching.
	They're sick of it.
	They're fed up with it.
	And yeah, most athletes are a bunch of overpaid prima donnas, just like TV hosts are overpaid prima donnas.
	A lot of them.
	I'm not.
	I'm rooted in my blue-collar roots, trust me.
	Name one other host that says they're overpaid.
	I'm just admitting it.
	It's stupid.
	It's ridiculous.
	And when I think of all the real jobs I did in my life and got nothing for, I worked harder sometimes on them.
	Although I worked the hardest I've ever worked in my life now, in case you really want to know, I work harder than I ever worked.
	Anyway, so that's why their ratings are down.
	Really?
	You know, I talked to Robert Kraft as the owner of the Patriots.
	And the Patriots have always been my nemesis because I like the Jets and the Giants.
	And they're in the same conference as the Jets, and they kick the Jets' ass, except one year when the Jets beat them for the AFC Championship or the AFC get to get to the AFC Championship.
	And, you know, I was talking to him about, number one, the success of his team and the longevity of his team and what Tom Brady is really like and a bunch of other things.
	I really liked him.
	And he said what he did is he took some of the players on his team that happened to be African American and he said, I will match you dollar for dollar and we'll go into the communities in Boston and we'll go together and we'll help these kids out.
	All right, that's such a cool thing that he did.
	Good for the team, good for morale.
	And he said, but no one's taking a knee on my field because people fought, bled, and died for that flag.
	And you know what?
	I thought that was pretty cool.
	You have suburban Chicago schools teaching blackonomics, trans rights, and white genocide against blacks.
	I'm kidding you not.
	It was a suburban Chicago high school taking the Obama education agenda all the way with new classes and seminars that teach kids that whites are committing genocide against black.
	You know, Chicago, 4,000 people have been killed since Obama's been president, 4,000.
	Really?
	And he only comments about the Cambridge police, Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, and Ferguson.
	In Syracuse, they list pink signs aimed at women as an example of abhorrent bias incidents.
	A new policy, Syracuse University, includes in it a long list of examples of bias incidents, color-coded signs for male and female students.
	Where does all of this stuff come from?
	There's another article out today.
	Dating apps.
	You know, these apps like Tinder and Grinder and what are the, I don't even know what these apps are.
	I can't even download a stupid app.
	Do you know?
	Why are you laughing at me, Ethan?
	What's so fun?
	Have you ever been on Tinder?
	Don't lie.
	Nope.
	Is it really for hooking up, hooking up, or is it just to meet people or both?
	I would not know because I've never been on it.
	Let's go to Jason now.
	I don't use it, but it's for hooking up.
	Total hookup.
	Yes.
	Meaning hookup, not making out hookup.
	Yes.
	It's for hooking up sex hookup.
	Yes.
	Is it used for anything else, maybe to meet somebody?
	Obviously, it's used to go to Bible studies, Sean.
	Bible studies.
	I didn't say it's to go to stuff, but there are a lot of lonely people that want to meet other people for crying out loud.
	All right, you know what?
	None of you people in there are any help.
	Jason, a little bit.
	What did you?
	Well, thank you so much, Jason, a little bit.
	What did you want to do?
	What I don't understand is you'd be better off on Tinder than you would be on the Coyote Ugly Bar.
	There's virtually no difference.
	Tinder just virtually no difference.
	It makes it a little easier.
	We just said every guy in New York to Coyote Ugly tonight because Jason says it's a hookup joint.
	Oh, yeah, because you go in there.
	I'm sure I'm sure that, you know, bringing that girl home to mom, whoever you happen to meet there, is going to be on the top of your priority list.
	That would be absolutely false.
	That would be absolutely false.
	Exactly.
	All right, let's go to our.
	Oh, Velma's with us.
	Velma, hi, how are you?
	And welcome to the program.
	Hi, how are you doing?
	Velma, I miss you.
	I miss the kids.
	I miss you too.
	Now, I am going to, if you will take responsibility on this radio program today, you told me, your boys, my nephews, that they want motorbikes, right?
	Or mini bikes?
	You know what, Sean?
	What?
	He told you, and you don't care that this kid sits up there and gets my phone and does this stuff.
	Which kid did it?
	Marcel or the other?
	Anthony.
	Anthony did it?
	He did it.
	All right, so he wants, what kind of, does he want, hang on, does he want a mini bike or a motorbike like mini motorcycle?
	He wants a motorized kind.
	All right, listen to me.
	There's a difference.
	A mini bike's for younger kids.
	Your kids are still pretty young.
	Are you, here's my question.
	I don't feel like I'm willing to buy them the mini bikes.
	But I'm telling you right now, if there's anything that happens, I can't be held responsible because you're the parent and you make that decision.
	And you've got to give them safety courses and proper equipment.
	Yeah, we know.
	I told you.
	All right, so you want me to get, I'll get them two mini bikes.
	They can start with that, and I'll get them a low-powered Briggs and Stratton engine or something.
	But you're responsible to teach them and educate them, and you make the decision when you think they're qualified to ride it.
	That's what we're going to do that, Sean.
	So I want you to say, I will not hold Sean Hannity legally responsible.
	I told my husband, I told my children if something, it's not going to nothing.
	They are daring.
	But I told them.
	I said, there is no way I would hold you responsible if something would happen to my children.
	There ain't nothing going to happen to them because.
	No, but what I want you to do is, look, I'll buy the mini bikes.
	I'll even buy helmets.
	I'll send you a check for helmets for the boys.
	Make sure you get good riding clothes for them.
	And then the next thing you got to do is get some guy out there to teach them how to ride it safely.
	Okay?
	That's my advice.
	I sent you a present.
	Did you get my present?
	You know, Sean, didn't I tell you don't send me that?
	I will be.
	I know you were trying to be funny.
	I sent you Trump pens for you and the kids.
	I know you sent me Trump pens and all that talking he was doing.
	I know all about it.
	I got him.
	Great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall.
	There you go.
	We had more than a half a million people request those pens.
	I couldn't afford them.
	I bought as many as I could.
	How many did we ultimately buy, Linda?
	2,000 or something?
	Yeah.
	Oh, my goodness.
	You're getting it.
	I paid for it myself.
	I gave it to my audience.
	Yeah.
	Okay, Sean.
	Well, you didn't like the gift?
	No, no, no.
	You know, I love you dearly.
	By the way, by the way, hey, Velma?
	What?
	Get ready to dance.
	Guess why?
	Obama's gone in three days.
	The long, horrific nightmare is about to end.
	The long, long nightmare is about to end.
	Did I do you like that in 2008?
	No.
	Did I not warn you how bad he would be?
	You did.
	And you were right, honey.
	You were right.
	Well, freeze this moment.
	It took you eight years and three days away from Obama leaving to admit that I was right how bad Obama would be.
	You were right about everything.
	You were right about he was going to win.
	You were right about that.
	No, I was right that Obama was going to be a horrible president.
	No, no, that's not true.
	I tell you what, we got one now, though.
	In three days, we do.
	No, listen, you're going to be, we can celebrate together, okay?
	Sean, you know what?
	I'm happy for you because I love you dearly.
	So I'm happy for you.
	All right.
	God bless you, Velma.
	We love you.
	Thank you, honey.
	All right, now, take town Linda.
	Make sure we can contact her and look for safe mini bikes, a small one to start, and then they can go from there.
	Because I am not going to give the boys want them.
	And if she says it's okay, I can't be held responsible.
	And she just saved that tape in case Velma wants to come back and sue me.
	Don and Lake Ron Concome.
	What's up, Don?
	You're such a generous man, I'm telling you.
	Well, I used to love mini bikes as a kid.
	We made our own motorbikes as a kid, so I'm kind of sympathetic to the boys, but they got to get somebody to teach them how to ride it.
	Yeah, I used to ride my friends mini-bike.
	Hey, listen, thank God we have a guy like James O'Keefe, your last guest.
	Yeah, in the mainstream media, they should hoist him on their shoulders.
	He's one of the only true investigative reporters around now.
	And you know what?
	These reports between John Lewis not going to the inaugural and these 40 Democrats that are not going and the Hollywood and recording artists.
	You know, I think Trump's inaugural is going to be the most watched inaugural in all of recorded history.
	Yeah, and they're saying, well, scalpers are upset.
	Scalpers can't make money on it.
	I don't believe that for a minute.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, Don, three days, America's long nightmare comes to an end and hopefully a new beginning.
	Although I have my questions about Republicans being timid and weak and pathetic.
	We're going to have to, like you said, we're going to have to watch them because a couple of them I just don't trust.
	A couple?
	I don't trust most of them.
	Really?
	All right, Big Don.
	God bless you.
	Happy New Year, my friend.
	The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next.
	All right, let's get back to our busy telephones here.
	800-941-SHAWN.
	If you want to be a part of the program before we get to our final hour news roundup, as we check in with Jason Orlando, News 96.5.
	What's up, Jason?
	How are you?
	I'm doing good, Sean.
	How are you doing?
	I'm good, sir.
	What's happening?
	Well, I wanted to comment on Congressman Lewis's statement as far as Trump being a legitimate president.
	It reminded me when Trump was doing the debates and they asked him if he would support if Hillary Clinton won.
	And, you know, he had his reservations because he felt like the media was corrupt.
	And I felt like the entire media and CNN and everyone else went haywire when he made those comments.
	But it seems like the Democrats are being pretty hypocritical on their point of view.
	Everybody's not going to the inauguration now.
	They're saying he's not a legitimate president because of what they believe with Russia.
	And I just feel like it was, dude, he's the daily elected president.
	Why not support him like they wanted him to support Hillary if she would have won?
	I'm not so sure.
	Look, he's done this now twice, John Lewis, okay?
	And imagine if all the Republicans, 53 Republicans, said they're not going to Obama's inauguration.
	What do you think the reaction would be from the liberal-loving, you know, Obama mania media and the Hillary-loving, colluding media?
	What do you think the alt-radical left media would do if every Republican said they're not going?
	They would have gone crazy.
	And that's the world we live in.
	Anyway, Jason, all the best.
	I'm going to be down in Orlando one of these days.
	I got a speech coming up down there.
	Listen, you know, this guy that called my show yesterday really kind of pissed me off.
	He's like, well, what about your 401k, Hannity?
	I'll be perfectly blunt.
	I haven't looked at my 401k in all the years since I have it.
	I'm not interested in it.
	I'm sure I asked my financial guy if we're doing okay.
	That's what I ask.
	I'm like, how much money do I have?
	That's what I ask him.
	That's my only question.
	And I'm like, all right, leave me alone with all the details.
	I don't want to hear it.
	I don't want to hear it.
	I tell them all the time.
	Linda, doesn't that sound like me?
	I don't want to hear it.
	I have no room in my brain for that crap.
	I don't do my taxes.
	They do my taxes.
	I'm like, how much do I have to pay?
	And they always say, well, you're getting money back.
	And I said, how much?
	Look, but if you're in poverty and you're on food stamps and you're out of the labor force, you know, don't talk to me about 401ks because they don't matter to those people.
	And to think that you could just go through life, oh, it's just about me, is twisted thinking.
	All right, when we come back, news roundup and information overload.
	Also, Fox's exclusive interview with Donald Trump, Laura Ingram, and Bob Becko back tonight on Hannity.
	Have you noticed that your wife is disgusted by the sight of you lately?
	Like, would she rather get a root canal than see you naked?
	Well, you shouldn't have voted for Trump, okay?
	One therapist calls it the Trump bedroom backlash because her clients have lost their sex drive since Trump won.
	So here's my question.
	Is Trump causing electile dysfunction?
	Remember, we talked about the fact that women after the election were going out in droves to get an IUD.
	Oh, yeah, because they thought that their control would be taken away from them.
	Well, yeah, we're impacted politically by that.
	Profoundly by it.
	But I think that the sex drive does die.
	And, you know, we are building a wall around our vaginas.
	Because, yeah.
	And you voted for that, schmuck?
	You voted for that?
	I'm not sleeping with you.
	And one smart person said that they think that what's going to really happen is the Republicans are going to turn on him because he's against big business a lot, and they don't like that.
	And other things that he's doing, they're not going to be happy with him.
	And he has enemies in the Republican Party.
	And Pence will eventually start doing the presidency.
	What do you think about that?
	I mean, it was just a guess.
	Watch your uterus.
	That's all I'm saying.
	Watch your uterus.
	You voted for that, schmuck.
	Building walls around vaginas and electile dysfunction, if you will.
	And so we got this women's march taking place, and, you know, it is what it is.
	But anyway, they're expecting a huge women's march scheduled for the 21st, the day after the inauguration.
	And one of the groups has been, well, kicked out because they're not subscribing to 100% of the groupthink requirements.
	So a feminist group has been unceremoniously expelled from the list of participants at the upcoming women's march on Washington.
	Once organizers discovered that the group did not adhere to the strict pro-abortion requirement for marchers, New Wave feminists have been chosen as an official partner of this January 21st women's march on Washington until the Atlantic magazine revealed that the group believes in the right to life of unborn children.
	On its website, New Wave Feminists proclaims its intent to, quote, take feminism back from those who have corrupted it, trading it in for a handful of birth control pills, the privilege to degrade ourselves in Playboy, and the right to abort our children.
	I guess feminism, you got to be 100% groupthink or you don't get in.
	Anyway, news roundup and information overload hour here on the Sean Hannity show.
	Toll-free on numbers, 800-941.
	Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, joining us now is Brunel Donald Shea is with us, vice chairwoman for the National Diversity Coalition for Trump, Leslie Marshall, Fox News contributor, host of the Leslie Marshall Radio Show.
	Why the intolerance, Leslie, if they wanted to march for other reasons and they just have a difference on abortion, what's the big deal?
	Well, this one, I'm probably going to agree with you, Sean, and the other guest, because quite frankly, this is supposed to be women that are marching about more than just abortion.
	There are people who voted for Trump and support Planned Parenthood.
	That's all over the internet today.
	And there are certainly women who are pro-life who did not vote for Trump and who are not happy about him being elected.
	Because this is symbolic and because I think the numbers of women that come out matter when you're doing something largely for symbolic purposes, I think this is a foolish move by the feminists because the feminists, if you will, and I am one of them, definitely care more about and should care more about any legislation or any women's rights, and that goes beyond abortion.
	Do you believe that it's wrong 100% of the time for a government that the government should not have any right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body?
	Is that your belief?
	Yeah, and it doesn't, for me, it's not just about abortion, Sean.
	It's about like if I were to have cancer, what method of well, frankly, if you have cancer and you want to take drugs not approved by the FDA, I think you ought to have every right to do it.
	I agree.
	You know, and if you, you know, the fact that people, you know, I was watching this movie with Matthew McConaughey when he got really skinny and he had AIDS.
	Do you ever see that movie?
	Yes, yes.
	Dallas Buyers Club, and I'm like...
	The Dallas Buyers Club.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I'm like, I would do the same thing if I was him.
	And it ended up, you know, I think it was based on a true story, if I'm not mistaken.
	But the fact is, I don't think the FDA has a right, Right if I'm dying to tell me I can't take A, B, or C if I want to take it to try and save my life.
	Well, this is what's interesting, and I think an area where Democrats and Republicans agree more than they like to admit, which is I think a lot of people, left and right, don't want government controlling decisions that we make in our personal lives and our bodies.
	And I say that as a liberal Democrat, but when it comes to the issue of Roe v. Wade, there are certainly people who are left who are comfortable with the government making that decision for a woman.
	But if you take your argument to its ultimate conclusion, the government does not have a right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body, then, okay, so a week before a woman's due to give birth to her child, is it your belief the government should have no say, even though we know that that is a fully formed baby inside of that woman, even though we know that child can live outside the womb on its own, and that ultimately is not, as you know, a black and white issue.
	One, wait a minute, I asked you very pointedly.
	No, no, no, because you just said to me the government has no right under any circumstances to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body.
	Well, then I would have to say, for example, in certain situations, I personally would not choose to have an abortion.
	I didn't ask you if you would choose.
	I'm asking, does the government or anyone else have a right?
	Wait, wait, wait, with regards to the government have a duty to protect that child that is going to be born in two weeks, does that child that could survive after seven months, does it have a right to be protected?
	After six months with modern medical technology, we can save these children.
	You know, at what point do you say it's infanticide?
	But this is the area where I say it's not black and white.
	There are children out there, as you know, that are not fully formed, even though they should be fully formed.
	There are vegetables, if you will, that can be kept alive and NICU, just like we can hook people up to machines and keep them alive to 112.
	But are they alive, Sean?
	Are their brains alive because their hearts are pumping?
	Well, we know we know two weeks from a due date that if you aborted that child, it's infanticide.
	We know a month out, it's infanticide.
	I've maintained that abortion should not be a means of birth control.
	But there are people who are not.
	So wait a minute.
	So you do say the government should step in at some point.
	At some point, the government should step in and say, no, that's a viable child.
	But I don't think it goes just to that.
	No, no, but listen, Leslie, you've got to stay focused here.
	You're bringing up the children.
	Wait, does at some point when this is a viable child inside a woman, this is what I'm asking.
	You don't want to answer it.
	You want to keep diverting.
	If this is a viable child inside a woman, does the government have a right to save that child from a woman aborting it?
	That number does not hold true for every single pregnancy.
	Okay, you're not answering the question again.
	Two weeks before a due date, that is a viable child.
	Does the government, should the government, be able to tell a woman she can't have an abortion at that late stage?
	If there is, if the child is completely healthy, yes, but I've always maintained that.
	Okay, so the government does.
	The only difference between you and me, you do agree the government has a right to tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies.
	And that's what you said you didn't agree with.
	Let me bring in Brunel here.
	No, no, no, no.
	Hang on.
	Brunette, you've had a lot of time.
	Brunel, go ahead.
	Hi, yes.
	I'm in agreement with you on the issue of basically late-term abortion.
	I believe that once that child is viable and alive and toes and arms and everything is working, and especially within two weeks or so, that child absolutely has the right to live and the government absolutely has the right to make that decision that that child should live.
	And I think that anything other, I'm not, you know, everybody doesn't always agree on the same thing, but I'll say this, you know, I would feel like a monster myself if I were in that position where I'm giving birth to a child in two weeks and then, you know, I decide, you know, I don't want to do it.
	I want an abortion.
	Absolutely.
	It's wrong.
	And I think the government should have the right to.
	You see, the problem, Brunel, when we get to this late stage, and Leslie admits.
	Yeah, very reluctantly, but the bottom line is as medicine and medical technology improves, you know, we're able to raise these kids in incubators if they've only been in the womb for five months.
	And the problem is, as we get closer and closer and closer to maybe making it three months, then liberals are going to have a very hard time because these then become, by definition, viable children.
	Yes.
	Yeah, but my problem is not with that, Sean.
	Quite frankly, a woman who is carrying a child to within two weeks of her due date, she's not somebody who would have wanted to abort the child in the first place.
	Leslie, excuse me, with all due respect.
	Unfortunately, there are women that do that.
	That's correct.
	It does happen.
	And end up wanting late-term abortions, and there are butchers out there who will actually abort that child.
	So yes, there are women out there like that, Ms. Leslie, unfortunately.
	Always going to be an exception to the rule.
	Show me the court.
	Overwhelming majority of people have abortions within the first trimester, and abortions are down now, as you know.
	Should abortion past the first trimester be made illegal?
	See, again, I don't feel that it's black and white because it depends on the power of the power.
	Well, when does it become a case-by-case basis, I believe?
	It should be on a case-by-case basis.
	Well, putting aside all the exceptions that we can sit here and argue over, that's not the majority of cases.
	If a woman wants to abort a child, does there come a point of no return for you, Leslie, and for you, Brunel?
	I agree with Brunel there on case-by-case.
	I think it is a case-by-case case, but just for say if it were me, probably after the first trimester is not for me.
	I can't do it.
	All right, forget about for you.
	At what point does the government have the right to step in and say, well, this is a viable child and you do not have the right to kill that?
	That would be infanticide.
	It would be later.
	I would say it would be later, case-by-case.
	What if a woman's had more than one abortion, two abortions, three abortions?
	What do you do then?
	Well, Sean, I'm with you on that because I have said before, I don't think abortion should be a means of birth control.
	However, the person using abortion is birth control or is that person carrying a defective gene and becoming impregnated time and time again with a child that will not be able to live a quality life.
	Can we be honest here?
	If you're going to have sex, we all agree you can prevent pregnancy.
	That's very doable.
	That's why I say we don't need to overturn Roe v. Wade.
	We just need to educate people.
	No, Roe v. Wade is bad law.
	They're going to have sex and give them the means to prevent the pregnancy.
	People don't understand.
	If Roe v. Wade were overturned, then it would be sent back to the states and the states would decide.
	But on the second part of this, I don't think if I'm not having the sex, I don't feel like paying for the birth control.
	And I don't see if you can't afford the $9.99 a month for birth control pills, which is what it costs at Walmart, and you can't afford condoms, which are relatively inexpensive in all different shapes, sizes, and colors on the internet, available very, very cheap, and you're not willing to take responsibility, why would you expect somebody else paying for it would do it for you?
	I don't believe that.
	I'm in agreement with that.
	I also agree, believe that we should not be spending tax dollars or anybody's money to do any of these procedures at all.
	But at the end of the day, like I said, it is a case-by-case basis.
	I believe that late, I'm not in agreement with late term for any woman unless there's some type of medical issue, her life is threatened or something like that.
	Other than that, it shouldn't even be up for discussion.
	Not a viable child, no.
	All right, guys.
	Thank you both for being with us.
	Appreciate it.
	Bringing jobs back to America and getting America back to work.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	All right, as we continue, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free now for the rest of the program, 800-941-Sean is our number.
	We'll start in the Commonwealth of Virginia with Pam on the Sean Hannity Show.
	How are you, Pam?
	Glad you called.
	Good afternoon.
	How are you, sir?
	I'll be down your way come Wednesday night.
	What's going on?
	I am fantastic.
	I just wanted to say real quickly: I think it's kind of fantastic that Mr. Trump does take to tweeting to get his point across.
	That way he does not have to go through the press that will convolute it, dilute it, change it, and rearrange it to suit their needs.
	I think it's this way we know if it's tweeted, it comes straight from him, and there's nobody in between to kind of tell the public how they're supposed to feel about it.
	You know, look at the drudge headline from earlier today and most of the day.
	Bitter media plays with approval polls.
	And for example, you know, they actually analyze ABC, Washington Post, CNN Reuters repeatedly manipulating their poll samples to engineer the desired results.
	Namely, you know, they did this before the election, a large Hillary Clinton lead.
	Even, you know, the eggs of polls showed that Hillary Clinton was going to be the next president of the United States.
	But they're still doing it.
	I mean, you've got the ABC Washington Post poll, you know, you've got are out there where the pair of polls trumps favorability.
	And again, you've got more oversampling, eight-point sampling margin for Democrats with only 23 of the results taken from Republicans.
	This is not a legitimate poll.
	Exactly.
	And nothing that they do has been legitimate.
	And therefore, you know, it's big time interference.
	And I know they don't like it.
	My admonition is very clear to Donald Trump and to everybody that's working for him.
	And some of you may think I'm paranoid.
	Maybe you think I'm over the top.
	Well, I wasn't wrong about Obama, and I wasn't wrong about this election.
	Correct.
	And I saw the possibility that nobody in the media saw.
	And I saw a movement because I was out and I was doing all these town halls and I've done a lot of them over the years.
	And I got to tell you something, you see something when you're on the ground.
	And I am telling you, as sure as we're sitting here, three days before he takes the oath of office to become the 45th president of the United States of America, it's very clear they want to destroy this man.
	And they're talking about impeachment already, Maxine Waters among them and others.
	And you got the 53 Congress men and women not showing up to the inauguration.
	Then you've got all the extremist snowflake groups out there.
	Every single agenda item that Donald Trump ran on that he's going to fight for is going to be a brutal, ugly battle.
	And the charges of racism and sexism and elitism, rich versus poor, old versus young, white versus black, all of it's coming up.
	And if you think voting and then walking away gets the job done, it doesn't.
	And you better be ready to make your phone ring and sing to Congress because they're going to need your backbone.
	Silver buckle hanging off her heels.
	Eyes sparkle when she smiles.
	Shy man on the radio.
	Crank it up.
	Take a sip.
	Delicious.
	Don't stop, girl.
	You know I love it when you get your shot.
	Turn your body lights on.
	Baby, get your shadow shine.
	Baby, get your shin.
	Silverado cane and painty.
	Rayman's got the whole old shady.
	Chrome Beach took down a console.
	Ronaldo up all the balloons.
	A little Kentucky clear.
	I'm beginning
	to feel a little bit kind of.
	I'm just thinking, you know, this is a good thing.
	Donald J. Trump's getting sworn in in three days.
	How great is that?
	Put it up.
	Take a sip.
	It's going to be a party, friends.
	So on Friday.
	Well, we're going to be in D.C. on Thursday, both radio and TV.
	And then on Friday, we will be doing two hours.
	Now, Fox is making me, at least they say they're making me.
	What are they going to do if I don't do it?
	They're making me wear a tux.
	Linda, I'm sorry, you busy?
	Other things going on that you're paying attention to?
	What's more important than what I should wear to this ball?
	I don't go to Washington correspondents' dinners.
	It's not going to change just because Donald Trump's president.
	I never went when Bush was president.
	I never went when Obama was president.
	And I know the pressure is going to build because Fox is going to want me to go to all these things.
	I don't want to.
	And they want me to do two hours at the ball on Friday night from 10 to midnight.
	And Tucker wants to interview me in the 9 o'clock hour.
	I'm like, well, that's three hours of TV.
	I just did three hours of radio.
	Cut me some slack here.
	But I don't care.
	I'll broadcast as long as they want.
	I'm kind of beginning to feel a little bit like this might be fun now.
	Obama, after all of eight years we have suffered through the misery of his failed policies, you know, it's kind of cool that we have a chance to fix the country.
	That's all I'm saying.
	I'm not getting a thrill up my leg or an Obama gasm like Chris Matthews.
	Even Chris Matthews now bringing up impeachment already.
	That's how sick these people are.
	That's how twisted they are.
	That's how distorted they are.
	You know, the same people that colluded with Hillary, they lose.
	Okay, let's impeach them.
	Well, let's talk about where that leads to, Congresswoman.
	You've raised a good point here.
	That's for you.
	It is important.
	If we find out that somebody on behalf of Donald Trump was on the phone or in email relations with somebody in Russia, the ambassador to America from Russia, and there was some sort of, as you call it, collusion, then what?
	Does that make Trump subject to impeachment?
	What do you mean by not legitimate?
	Just generally what you mean by the term.
	Well, here's the thing.
	If you find out there was a connection, there was collusion, your term.
	Well, here's what I'm trying to get to.
	If we discover that Donald Trump or his advocates played a role in helping to devise strategy, if they're the ones who came up with crooked Hillary, if they're the ones who came up with she's ill, something's wrong with her energy, and the way that he collapsed because described her in the campaign.
	Vladimir Putin poisoned her.
	That's why she collapsed.
	Put the question squarely on the table whether or not he should be impeached.
	Impeach him.
	You could have an impeachable offense before you take office.
	In other words, high crimes and misdemeanors.
	At the point that investigations discover and can confirm and document any of that, that they had a role in helping to strategize.
	They had a role in attempting to determine the outcome.
	That in many ways, they used the information that they got from the DNC when they hacked into our emails, etc.
	If that was used against Hillary Clinton in some ways, yes, I think that's impeachable.
	You know, the best part of this is watching all the snowflakes freak.
	It really is.
	It's going to be a very entertaining four years, but it's also going to be a snowflake superstorm in D.C. I'm literally about to fing tell myself that I'm not kidding.
	You better fix this shit right now.
	I literally am going to die.
	I think that's my favorite cut of all time.
	I think that's better than the Obama phone lady.
	And that was pretty damn good.
	Look at Jason.
	He's racing to find the Obama lady cut on Obama phone.
	Mitt Romney sucks.
	Obama.
	You got Obama phone?
	Yes, everybody in Cleveland, low minority, got Obama phone.
	Keep Obama in president, you know?
	He gave us a phone.
	He gave you a phone.
	How did he give you a phone?
	You sign up if you're on full stamps.
	You on Social Security.
	You got low income.
	You disability.
	Hey, I'm your boy.
	Okay, what's wrong with Romney again?
	Romney, you suck, you behave.
	Oh, you want to play your favorite?
	What's yours?
	My favorite's the Jose guy who has a breathing problem.
	All right, go ahead.
	Play that.
	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.
	Anyway.
	But then there's the reality.
	I'm not trying to pop everybody's butt because I'm kind of feeling giddy.
	I think I'll drink champagne on a year on Friday night.
	But I don't want to wear a tux.
	Do you blame me?
	So should I wear jeans?
	That's the question.
	Now, I'm not really wearing a tux like in the traditional sense.
	I'm not wearing a dopey bow tie.
	If my life depends on it, it's never happening.
	You know, we did a poll on Hannity.com on this.
	Uh-oh.
	What did it come out?
	You lost.
	That I should wear a tux.
	Everybody said you should wear a tux.
	But I don't have to, but I can wear the tux.
	You don't have to wear a bow tie.
	No, I got a black silk tie that they gave me.
	You know, I don't, by the way, one of the great benefits, this is so stupid.
	I don't even, I haven't bought a suit in 21 years.
	Fox keeps buying them for me.
	I have outfitted Sweet Baby James.
	He just gets them altered.
	I've outfitted Tim, my other brother-in-law.
	He just gets some outfit.
	I don't know if you should share that.
	Why not?
	I don't know.
	Is that something you can do?
	Why not?
	They give me new suits every year.
	What am I going to do?
	Have 40 suits in my closet?
	What am I going to do with them?
	Do you know I really have two pairs of shoes, three pairs of shoes?
	I have one pair of sneakers.
	I have a pair of black shoes at any given time.
	And I have those snow boots that I wear whenever.
	All your shoes are ugly.
	Really?
	You got to see.
	Yeah, that's pretty hideous.
	Well, what if I wear jeans and I wear the Tux top?
	Would that work?
	And maybe cowboy boots.
	I do have a pair of cowboy boots, so I have four pairs of shoes.
	I've never seen your cowboy boots.
	Well, I only wear them when I go to Texas.
	That's the only time I wear them.
	To the inauguration.
	Well, they have a boots and ball dinner of some kind.
	What do they call it?
	The boots and something inaugural.
	I don't know what they call it.
	Black tie and boot.
	Well, then you're still stuck with the stupid jacket and that dopey bow tie.
	I'm not wearing a bow tie.
	Don't you think it's unfair after all these years?
	Eric Bowling came into the Fox News channel 10 years ago.
	He's a friend of mine.
	He gets to not wear a tie on the five.
	Why do I have to wear a tie?
	I've got a little bit of clarity on this issue, and I think that every woman listening will agree with me.
	The amount of clothing that a woman has to wear underneath the clothing that she has to wear, the amount of makeup, the hair, the uncomfortable four-inch to five-inch heels she'll be wearing all night will far surpass any trouble.
	You look at putting on a pair of pants.
	Well, with all due respect, it is whoever came up with the idea of a tux.
	To me, it was a man that created high heels, so you still get no sympathy.
	Well, high heels look good, though yeah, they don't feel good, my friend, and a tux doesn't look where.
	Would you rather see me in the way I always dress, my uniform, which is jeans and a golf shirt and a t-shirt underneath and uh, that's clearly scintillating every day to see you in these golf shirts.
	That's all the I.
	I like NIKE.
	I prefer NIKE.
	That's my favorite shirt of.
	I think it's a big moment, and I think the fact that we get to kick Obama out of the White House is uh, something to get dressed up for.
	Well, i'm gonna be in there.
	I have a scheduled interview when the president gets in there, and maybe you should wear a tux for that too.
	The first cable interview from the White House fantastic, you think I should.
	I would wear a tux with the pants and everything, not jeans.
	I think you should wear pants.
	I think pants are preferable no meaning jeans instead of the black pants.
	Wise ass, you're such a you think you're so funny in there.
	You crack yourself up Liz, in Colorado.
	Liz, I hear you're on my side, jump in here, help me out.
	Yeah well, first of all, thank you for having me on the show.
	My son Matthews, and Gracie, adore you, but you have to wear jeans because you have to keep it real.
	That is, the American people voted for Donald Trump because they don't want a career politician anymore.
	I think Donald Trump sleeps in his tie.
	I don't think I've ever seen him at one time without a tie on.
	He wear, he loves ties.
	Yeah, you got to wear the jeans.
	And he actually says to me, so we did a couple of town halls during the election.
	And he goes, do you always wear jeans?
	And I'm like yep, he goes oh, that's pretty cool.
	That's what he said to me.
	That's great.
	So he knows he doesn't care.
	They won't even see me at the inaugural ball.
	I'm gonna be stuck in some corner, somewhere you know saying hey, you know, what am I supposed to do?
	I can't do what I want to do, which is pound on Obama leave.
	I might just do a rift on Friday night on Obama and what I want Trump to do as president.
	Maybe we'll do that and make it funny what the American people want.
	That's why we voted for him.
	God bless you, Liz.
	All right, Matt in Oklahoma City.
	I'm sorry Matt, what's up?
	Well, I was like I said I was listening yesterday and a little bit today.
	I have to apologize, I may.
	I may only have part of the story here, but from what I Got yesterday, he was talking about some anarchists and some anti-fascists in the D.C. Area that wanted to put butyric acid stink bombs into right, and among other things that he revealed today, an effort to shut down bridges and the trains and everything else.
	And then you've got another group of people saying, no, they did it on purpose because it's a counter sting, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but you never know, right?
	Well, I mean, that's going to be the tactic of the left to say, well, we didn't, I mean, look at the whole election.
	We didn't get caught.
	We didn't do anything wrong.
	This is all an illusion.
	This isn't what it looks like.
	You know, I mean, that's a given.
	But what I wanted to say was specifically to the butyric acid stink bomb thing, because that's all I heard originally when I called.
	Yeah, real quick, because we're breaking up.
	Okay, well, what I was saying is that that's basically, that stuff is in chocolate.
	That stuff is in cheese.
	This is basically a college prank.
	And I think that a self-respecting.
	Yeah, but if you actually look on, you know, look up this particular acid, it could actually cause permanent eye damage.
	For those of you experiencing fainting spells because of Obama mania, our president has some advice.
	Make sure you're drinking water.
	Bend your knees.
	Don't stand up too straight.
	The paralegals will be paralegals.
	You don't need lawyers.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	Robert in New Orleans.
	Robert, hi, how are you?
	Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
	Doing good.
	How about you, Sean?
	I'm good.
	Glad you called.
	First of all, I just want to say that you're a very kind man.
	The previous caller, the two previous callers, took the words right out of my mouth.
	But the reason why I was calling is because I'm glad that Trump is bringing back jobs to the United States.
	I mean, it's due.
	You know, the time is due.
	But my question is, post-presidency, what's going to happen to these companies?
	How are they going to stay here or are they going to leave again based on the president who opens up the market again?
	Well, I mean, all the indicators, and I mentioned this earlier today, there is a lot of good news out there, and a lot of the good news has to do with the economy.
	And on the economy, things are looking pretty good.
	I mean, you've got Carrier, you've got Ford, you've got Fiat Chrysler, you've got this guy that wants to create a million jobs from China.
	You've got the IMF predicting a U.S. economic boom, crediting Donald Trump for that.
	Trump eyes 10% spending cuts and a 20% slash of federal workers.
	I love that, especially in light of what the Republican Congress has done.
	You know, Finland is going in the other direction, experimenting with providing citizens with basic income.
	Well, that's not going to work.
	General Motors is going to spend at least a billion in fresh U.S. investment because they all see that the laws and regulations are going to be greatly reduced and the tax incentives are going to be that much greater to do business here.
	You know, liberals have taxed everybody out of here.
	And, you know, I don't know what else to say.
	I think, for example, once Trump is done, we're going to have millions of Americans working that weren't working, millions out of poverty that were in poverty, millions off of food stamps that were in food stamps.
	I'm praying and hoping because we've got to help these people out.
	Change was made when Obama became president.
	You know, that millions of people started to lose jobs right away.
	And that's just a concern.
	But overall, I'm very happy that the jobs are coming back to the United States.
	And speaking of Donald Trump and jobs, by the way, Ainsley Earhart interviewed Donald Trump today.
	And so we'll have a preview of that exclusive interview on Hannity tonight.
