	All right, glad you're with us from our nation's capital.
	It is week one of Donald Trump's presidency, and we are here to cover it all our top stories that we are following today.
	Donald Trump's shock and awe in DC.
	We'll go over all the first days' actions.
	There have been many of them, and we'll continue to update you throughout the program today.
	We have the Snowflake, Snowstorm, women's march, so-called women's march that took place over the weekend.
	I called the let's blow up the White House rally, and we've got the most incredible audio that you'll ever hear in the course of any protest.
	We got a media that is obsessed with crowd size.
	They're not obsessed about how many, they weren't obsessed about telling you the truth about how many Americans in poverty under Obama, how many millions more, how many millions more on food stamps, how many millions more out of the labor force, or talk about the debt or the deficit or the disastrous Iranian deal or the mistreatment of Israel or trying to influence the Israeli elections or Iraq and Iran and Afghanistan and the Russian reset and China and their territorial ambitions knew,
	just like they never vetted Obama.
	We learned this year that they were colluding with the Clinton White House, and the media's main focus of attention today is on crowd size at the inauguration.
	And you know, there's a lot and this this phony fake news story that Donald Trump took the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. out of the White House, which was a total fabrication.
	A total lie.
	But that was just some of those stories.
	We've got great economic news today to share with you.
	Not good, great.
	And we'll get into all of this in the course of the program.
	We also have former Senator Joe Lieberman will check in and former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
	Our computers just crashed, I see, which means I'll have to wait a few minutes to play audio for you.
	Uh and DC McAllister and much more.
	All right, now Donald Trump takes office today.
	One of the things that you've got to look at with Donald Trump is this is a guy that I have known for years.
	My conversations with Donald Trump, the ones I've had during the campaign since he got elected, not many, but I I'm I don't talk about those.
	Off the record, usually are at 11 p.m., 12 a.m. or 1 a.m. in the morning.
	Sometimes 6 a.m. in the morning.
	I've had one at 5 a.m. in the morning.
	And you know what what nobody understood about him.
	I don't think he particularly loves the pomp and the circumstance, all that nonsense that went on last week.
	He'd be it's nice, it's important.
	It shows the peaceful transition of power, and he gave his inaugural speech and and shock and awe for the media.
	Oh my god, he actually reiterated the promises that he made as as a as a campaign.
	By the way, our computers are back up and running.
	Thank God.
	We'll get to that in a second.
	But what I loved and what I saw today is exactly what I wanted.
	This was never about Donald Trump's personality to me.
	This was about the agenda.
	It was about the promises.
	You know, I got accused of not getting specifics out of Donald Trump.
	I got more specifics out of Donald Trump and what he planned to do with the Supreme Court with vetting refugees with building the wall.
	I even said to him, Well, you don't expect Mexico to write you a check, do you?
	And he goes, Of course not.
	And then, you know, of course, the media didn't pick up on that either.
	Or the details of replacing Obamacare or the details of energy independence or the details of ending common core and center sending education back to the states.
	So, you know, in just his first hours, he pulled America out of the withdrew America from the Trans Pacific Partnership, a campaign promise.
	He also put a freeze on government hiring, except for the military, and another policy regarding Mexico City, and those were just the executive orders.
	He also is moving on other trade issues.
	But you know, imagine a freeze on federal hiring and saying he wants to cut the federal workforce by 20%.
	Now the worst part of that story is Trump apparently is going to have a fight, not with the Democrats, well, with them too, but with the Republicans.
	And apparently, especially as it relates to spending cuts.
	This was in the Hill today.
	Some of Trump's targets have fans in the GOP controlled Congress, in particular the Senate.
	And Trump's team is trying to work with the Office of Management and Budget to lay groundwork for the initial budget proposal, which is expected to reach Congress in the next 45 days.
	And in part looking for savings, the administration is relying on the Heritage Foundation and an item that they put out blueprint for a for balance, a federal budget for 2017.
	Whatever happened to the Republican Party being the party of limited government.
	What about the Republican Party being the party of less regulation?
	What about the Republican Party being the party of balanced budgets?
	The fact that he has to fight his own party in the initial days to get to a balanced budget.
	The fact that Republicans in Congress voted to raise the debt ceiling 9.7 trillion with a T dollars before Trump ever got there.
	I mean, it's pretty amazing.
	You know, and here's the best part of all of this.
	He wants to slash regulations by 75% or more as he met with top business leaders around the around the country today.
	Now, on top of that, he has set meetings with the prime ministers of Great Britain and Canada and the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
	So hopefully our relations will be repaired with Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East.
	And on top of that, he set up a meeting that's soon to be forthcoming with Mexico's president.
	Mexico's now dying to get Trump on board some type of new deal, which they're scared to death.
	Carrier left, Ford uh Ford left, Fiat Chrysler left, GM is investing.
	We got other great echoes.
	Why are we having all this great ac economic news?
	Why are all these corporations now all of a sudden, you know, saying, yeah, we want to build in Indiana, we want to build in Detroit, we want to build in Michigan, we want to build in Cleveland, we want to build in inner cities.
	Why is this Alibaba guy?
	Why is he gonna put all of these billions and billions of dollars in America with the goal of creating a million jobs?
	Do you think this is happening because Obama left and people say, you know, now's a good time to invest?
	Or is it directly related to, is there a direct correlation to, you know, rolling back burdensome government regulations that's costing corporations billions and billions of dollars every year and promising to reduce the corporate tax rate from one of the highest in the industrialized world to one of the lowest.
	Do you think it's the latter?
	Do you think the repatriation of trillions, not billions, trillions of dollars from multinational corporations?
	Well, what do you think they're gonna do when they get to bring that money in at a very low tax rate to America?
	Number one, we get money brought in that we would never see before.
	So that's good for our budget, that's good for deficits, that's good for infrastructure spending, that's good for a whole lot of things.
	But they bring that money, they're not they're not gonna sit on it.
	Corporations don't sit on money, they use their money to make more money.
	And that means they'll build factories and manufacturing centers and they'll create jobs for the forgotten men and women of this election.
	But don't worry, all the media's fixated on is the size of the crowd at the inaugural, and Trump lied.
	It's amazing How shallow they are.
	Those that were shown to collude with the Clinton campaign.
	Those that I told you in 2008 journalism is dead.
	These people are lazy.
	These people don't do their job.
	These people are agenda-driven and they're phony, and now the American people see right through all of it.
	You know, the alt-left radical media, it was a Bloomberg headline today.
	They're kind of mystified by the surge in economic optimism under Trump.
	You know, it's pretty amazing.
	And that is now we have economic optimism.
	It surged to an all-time post-election high, going back to at least 1989, and the same reporters who kept telling us that the Obama economic boom.
	What boom?
	He's the first president in the history of this country that never reached 3% GDP growth in a year, the first one.
	He's saying it was just around the corner.
	Bloomberg News is completely mystified as to why the economy looks poised to take off after eight long years of an economic malaise.
	Just like after Carter came Reagan, just like after Obama comes Trump.
	And Trump is doing a lot of the same things that Reagan did.
	And now that he's in office, Trump now faces the challenges of resolving a disconnect.
	And it quote, at no point in the past few decades has investors' optimism about a new president contrasted so sharply with an information void about what he will actually do.
	Well, I can tell you exactly what he's going to do to help the economy.
	This is not brain surgery if these people would just listen and pay attention to what it is that Donald Trump says.
	He's going to drop the corporate tax rate to 15%, maybe to 20%.
	Ryan wants 20%, Trump wants 15%.
	Maybe they'll settle at 17.5 from one of the highest industrialized, one of the highest in the industrialized world to one of the lowest, seven tax brackets to three tax brackets, or four if you count zero, uh, depending on how you measure it.
	Then he's gonna, let's see, eliminate Obamacare.
	That's gonna be like a tax cut for every American family once you and once you institute and make legal, catastrophic plans for young people with high deductibles, they pay a very low amount of money.
	The rest of the money that they've been forced to buy, they're gonna be saving that money.
	So we're gonna be saving money on health care.
	Energy independence, the lifeblood of our economy.
	Trump is an all of the above guy.
	And that means more drilling, more fracking, that means more coal mining, more alternative energy, but maybe even nuclear energy.
	You know, already he's taken steps to open up the uh the pipeline, the Keystone XL pipeline, since he's been president basically one day.
	And you watch all of these things.
	Then you combine energy independence, then you combine Obamacare, then you combine the tax rates, then you look at cutting the bureaucracy, cutting 10% of spending in Washington.
	Do we we really with this budget we can't cut 10%?
	If you were bankrupt and robbing your kids blind, you wouldn't cut your budget by 10%.
	Would that be impossible for you to do?
	Of course you can get rid of the waste, the fraud, the uh the abuse, the duplication, all of those things that are hurting your family budget.
	And maybe you go from expensive car to a less expensive car, and maybe you go out to dinner one day a week or every other week instead of every night.
	You make changes, you shift, you adapt, you adjust, and you live within your means.
	Although most Americans, to be honest, don't live within their means.
	And they should.
	You should make those adjustments.
	So all of these things combined, set aside.
	Now, for example, FoxCon, their CEO, get this.
	He said he's investing in a plant in the U.S. that will exceed seven billion dollars.
	Foxconn is the world's largest contract electronics maker.
	They're considering setting up display making plant in the U.S. in an investment that would exceed $7 billion.
	Why are they coming here?
	Because they like the direction of limited government, burdensome regulations being reduced dramatically, and low taxes.
	And that means Americans, the forgotten men and women that are in poverty on food stamps and out of the labor force that they can all get back to work.
	You got Krogers, they are now talking about filling 10,000 permanent positions in their supermarket divisions.
	All right, maybe you don't want to work at Kroger's with a full-time job, but maybe you do.
	And if you don't have a job and Kroger's hires you, that's a hell of a lot better than sitting home all day and watching soap operas and these idiotic daytime talk shows for crying out loud.
	So it's all part this This is like a shock and awe.
	They don't, they don't know how to deal with him.
	And he's rolling back the mandate on Obamacare, not forcing people through the threat of law and penalty to get something they don't want.
	And this is I'm telling you, this is going to go day after day after day.
	You're going to see this.
	But the media, they just care about the crowd size of the inauguration and arguing Trump lied about the crowd size.
	It's so ridiculous how shallow and lazy these people are.
	They're the same people that would never vet Hillary, never discuss her corruption, the same people that never vetted Obama, and the same people that colluded to defeat Trump.
	Bringing jobs back to America and getting America back to work.
	This is The Sean Hannity Show.
	The Sean Hannity Show.
	So the media that we know colluded with Hillary, and that means the New York Times and Politico and MBC, ABC, CBS, especially CNN was the worst.
	They're all upset because, well, we have the ratings are now in.
	And Trump's inauguration, the ratings were the second biggest in 36 years.
	So it was massive.
	But that's not the problem.
	The media had a field day on Sunday, claiming one that Donald Trump removed Martin Luther King Jr.'s bust from the White House.
	False.
	Fake news, false.
	And then that the inaugural speech crowd was dwarfed by the size of the audience of President Obama in 2009.
	Now, the photo that was most put out by the media was purposefully added to try and embarrass Trump.
	And it showed vast areas of empty space.
	There were two issues in play here.
	One issue was that the media, well, for the first time ever, they put the white tart down on the grass, I guess as a means of protecting it.
	And the second is the difficulty of literally hundreds of thousands of people being magged in to this was was more severe than any other inauguration in history.
	Anyway, so an early photo did have a sparse crowd.
	And that's the one that the media used.
	And it showed vast areas of empty space between the Capitol and the Washington Monument, and they compared it to the standing room only crowd that greeted Obama eight years ago.
	And Rines Prevus contended that the Trump audience photo was taken well before the speech began.
	And in fact, other photos taken during the actual speech could suggest that Trump's crowd was every bit as large as Obama's.
	And you can see it, and you could see that the white was all filled in.
	But the ones that they tweeted out and the ones they said, well, that was before the speech ever began.
	And Sean Spicer dared to do what nobody had done before.
	He called out their deliberately false reporting.
	He just finished his press conference.
	It was actually awesome today.
	And he said, We're going to hold you people responsible.
	And Donald Trump actually did something that very few presidents do.
	He actually said everything in his inaugural speech that he had said in the campaign trail.
	And his first hours in the Oval Office show that he's serious about fulfilling the promises that he made, which by the way, is all I care about.
	If you care about people that have been suffering needlessly, businesses that have been pushed out of this country, the labor participation rate so low, the unemployment rate horrible and false and deceptive.
	If you care about the many millions more in poverty and on food stamps because of Obama, then you'll appreciate that these efforts are being made to entice businesses and get this economy booming.
	All right, when we come back, wait till you hear Ashley Judd, Madonna, and others at the March yesterday or Saturday.
	You don't want to miss this next.
	You don't want to miss this next.
	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.

	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	All right, as we roll along 25 now till the top of the hour, toll free telephone number.
	You want to be a.
	And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything.
	You.
	You is the beginning of much needed change.
	Change that will require sacrifice people.
	Change that will require many of us to make different choices in our lives.
	But this is the hallmark of revolution.
	So my question to you today is are you ready?
	I said, Are you ready?
	Say yes, we are ready.
	Yes, I'm angry.
	Yes, I am outraged.
	Yes.
	I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	But I know that this won't change anything.
	Not fall into despair.
	As the poet W.H. Auden once wrote on the eve of World War II.
	We must love one another or die.
	I choose love.
	Did we get to Ashley Judge yet?
	Let's play Ashley.
	These are pretty amazing.
	That was Madonna.
	Ashley John is here.
	I am a feminist.
	And I bring you words from Nina Donovan, a 19-year-old in Middle Tennessee, and she has given me the privilege of telling you what she has to say.
	I am a nasty woman.
	I'm not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust.
	A man whose words are a dish track to America.
	Electoral college sanctioned hate speech contaminating this national anthem.
	I'm not as nasty as Confederate flags being tattooed across my city.
	Maybe the South actually is gonna rise again.
	Maybe for some.
	It never really fell.
	Blacks are still in shackles and graves just for being black.
	Slavery has been reinterpreted as the prison system in front of people who see melanin as animal skin.
	I am not as nasty as a swastika painted on a pride flag.
	And I didn't know devils could be resurrected, but I feel Hitler in these streets, a mustache traded for a toupee.
	Nazis renamed the cabinet electro conversion therapy, the new gas chamber shaming the gay out of America turning rainbows into suicide.
	Note I am not as nasty as racism, fraud, conflict of interest, homophobia, sexual assault, transphobia, white supremacy, misogyny, ignorance, white privilege.
	I'm not as nasty as using Little girls like Pokemon before their bodies have even developed.
	I am not as nasty as your own daughter being your favorite sex symbol.
	Like your wet dreams infused with your own genes, but yeah, I'm a nasty woman.
	A loud, vulgar, proud woman.
	I'm not nasty like the combo of Trump and Pence being served up to me in my voting booth.
	I'm nasty like the battles.
	My grandmothers fought to get me into that voting booth.
	I'm nasty like the fight for wage equality.
	Scarlet Johansson, why were the female actors paid less than half of what the male actors earned last year?
	See, even when we do go in to hire paying jobs, our wages are still cut with blades, sharpened by testosterone.
	Why is the work of a black woman and a Hispanic woman worth only 63 and 54 cents of a white man's privileged daughter?
	This is not a feminist myth.
	This is inequality.
	So we are not here to be debunked.
	We are here to be respected.
	We are here to be nasty.
	I'm nasty, like my bloodstains on my bed sheets.
	We don't actually choose if and when to have our periods.
	Believe me, if we could, some of us would.
	We don't like throwing away our favorite pairs of underpants.
	Tell me why are pads and tampacks still taxed.
	Who that was a brand name?
	Why are tampons and pads still taxed when Viagra and Rogain are not is your erection really more than protecting the sacred messy part of my womanhood?
	It's the blood stain on my jeans.
	More embarrassing than the thinning of your hair.
	I'm literally about kill myself that I'm not a kidding.
	You better right now.
	I literally am getting that.
	I need an amulet.
	I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
	I you can't make this stuff up.
	You can't.
	The snowflakes are losing it.
	That of course, from this weekend, the snowflake superstorm in DC and around the country continues, and that included Elizabeth Warren and Madonna.
	Madonna, F you to detractors of this march.
	I thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	And of course, that was Ashley Judd.
	A movie as she started in recently.
	Gloria Steinem and Scarlet Johansson, among the other attendees.
	All right, let me get on a serious note here.
	And I know that was long, but you had to hear it for yourself.
	And we'll be debating it later.
	But if you look at this snowflake, insane march that took place this weekend.
	I mean, all of the madness of liberalism in the Democratic Party on full display.
	And of course, the blow-up the White House rally is what I call it.
	I'm angry.
	I'm outraged.
	By the way, she's an aging pop-tart.
	And uh, yes, I've thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	Now just stop for a second here.
	And by the way, instead of drawing booze from the crowd, Madonna's blow-up the White House sentiment prompted a wave of tears.
	The reference to violence followed her.
	Uh exhorting the crowd that the revolution starts here.
	And before revealing her explosive inner thoughts, the Democratic Party Diva unleashed a wave of vulgarity on the entire crowd.
	F up, F up, F up, F you.
	So, according to the Gateway Pundit, a spokesman now for the Secret Service said that they were not there, were aware of Madonna's comments.
	They are opening an investigation.
	The ultimate decision whether to prosecute is the decision of the U.S. Attorney's Office.
	What if I had said that about Obama in 2009?
	What do you think would have happened to my career?
	I'm a public figure.
	I'm outspoken.
	I'm controversial.
	Oh, okay.
	Why do I suspect nothing's gonna happen to Madonna?
	Every prominent Democrat who dares to show his or her face in public after that disgraceful display needs to be asked the question, why haven't you denounced the anti Trump blow up the White House rally from the weekend?
	Charles Schumer, did you agree with Madonna?
	Did you have a hard time resisting the urge to blow up the Trump White House?
	Hillary Clinton, would you have would you speak out against Madonna and Ashley Judd?
	You know, what would you have said if a prominent Trump supporter publicly admitted that they thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House?
	Barack Obama, would you have your Homeland Security Department?
	If it was a Tea Party member said that, would you have them do anything?
	Anyway, we also learned over the weekend that the Daily Caller is reporting that Linda Sarsaur, one of the organizers behind the march, was recently spotted at a large Muslim convention in Chicago posing for pitch pictures with an accused financier for Hamas.
	Yeah, that Hamas, the terrorist organization.
	Anyway, the head of the Arab American Association of New York, Obama White House champion of change, speaking at last month's 15th annual convention of the Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America.
	She has close ties to apparently to the unindicted co-conspiracy group in the Holy Land Foundation case, the group CARE, which uh uh we now know was the Holy Land Foundation was found to have funneled money to Hamas, which was a designated terror group.
	And though she avoids discussing it now, she has acknowledged in past interviews that she has cousins serving prison time in Israel for uh their work with Hamas.
	Oh, she's risen really high up the ranks.
	I can't see the I am.
	Imagine if she had uh said this about somebody had said this about Malia or Sasha.
	You know what the uh Saturday night live writers have been saying about uh what's his name?
	Baron Trump.
	You know, first homeschooled terrorist, I think they said.
	Then you've got a Hillary operative, David Brock, he's launching a plan to impeach Trump, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
	He's been in there three days.
	Let's impeach him.
	Hillary Clinton was inducted into the museum, by the way, of presidential losers.
	I mean, the world's going insane here.
	You got a story on Fox News.com that police say a man bit off the ear of another man in Pittsburgh because they were arguing about President Donald Trump.
	And the 30-year-old victim was bitten at his apartment at 6 45 in the morning.
	You don't have anything to do in the morning better, maybe make some coffee, have some eggs and bacon, piece of toast, maybe a piece of fruit if you're eating healthy, whatever it is.
	The victim's ear had to be recovered by the police.
	Now he's in stable condition.
	You want to bet whether the biter was pro-Trump or anti-Trump?
	You have a Trump hater removed from a flight after berating a fellow passenger.
	Trump supporter Scott Koteski boarded a flight from Baltimore to Seattle on Saturday.
	He had no idea the woman sitting next to him would be berating him in an incoherent and unhinged rant that was all captured on video that quickly went viral.
	And, you know, sounding a lot like Madonna and Ashley Judd.
	They're all unhinged.
	Remember, this all started.
	Rachel Maddow, NBC News.
	Trump's speech was militant and dark.
	And analogies to Nazism now almost on a nightly basis.
	Chuck Todd, the address was insulting.
	This is the media that can't get over the fact that the person that they backed, that they colluded to help win Hillary Clinton had lost this whole thing.
	And all the media cares about, well, you might not have given us accurate size of the crowd numbers.
	Like, really?
	And then you want to know what Democrats really think about conservatives?
	Nancy Pelosi reveals a lot.
	I hate to say this, she said, but Democrats are the ones actually doing the Lord's work.
	Really?
	I guess we're a bunch of Satanists then.
	If you're a Christian.
	George Soros was behind 50 of the groups supporting the women's protests yesterday.
	I mean, I I don't even know where I I can't even mention my neck, my back, my P, my you know, stay C word, uh P Trump's tyranny, keep your politics Off my P. It just goes on.
	I feel Hitler in these streets, Ashley Judd said.
	A mustache traded for a toupee Nazis renamed.
	Angela Davis, the academic supposedly, and former Black Panther spoke at the event, too.
	I mean, she used to be a fugitive that ran for the U.S. vice president in 80 and 84 along Gus Hall on the ticket of the Communist Party USA.
	Wow.
	This is insanity.
	Then you've got Bernie Sanders and a spokesperson saying that white people shouldn't lead the Democratic Party.
	Excuse me.
	How about we whatever happened to the rainbow colors?
	And uh it goes on from there.
	Michael Moore, we are here to vow to end the Trump carnage.
	What carnage?
	Photos and anti uh Trump protester displaying ISIS's flag at this thing.
	And a beheading video.
	Anyone in the news media pick up on that?
	Anyone pick up on the F bombs, the P bombs, the B bombs, the C bombs, the middle finger stuck in everybody's face.
	Anyone pay attention to any of that?
	Imagine any of this happening back eight years ago when Obama becomes the president of the United States.
	Unbelievable times we're living in.
	This snowflake superstorm is not gonna stop.
	Because they can't control themselves.
	They just can't.
	And they to them, how much of this really comes down to abortion?
	How much of this comes down to a woman's right to choose, even up to the last date before being giving birth, the right in that case, of infanticide.
	The biggest stories of the day are the solutions to help move America forward.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	By the way, Duke Gingrich joins us at the top of the next hour.
	And by the way, he's calling for Madonna's arrest after she said that she has thought a lot about well, let me get the exact quote that she's thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	What if a prominent conservative said this in 09?
	What if a prominent conservative ever suggested that?
	You know, the Secret Service is now investigating.
	Oh, she gets a break.
	Why?
	Because she's Madonna?
	Would I get the same break because I'm a conservative commentator?
	Not that I ever would say something that stupid.
	The thing that really sticks out in your mind listening to these people is how dumb they all are.
	They're so ignorant.
	It's frightening.
	The snowflakes are back.
	The snowflakes are back.
	Some members of the media were engaged in deliberately false reporting.
	For all the talk about the proper use of Twitter, two instances yesterday stand out.
	One was a particularly egregious example in which a reporter falsely tweeted out that the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office.
	After it was pointed out that this was just plain wrong, the reporter casually reported and tweeted out and tried to claim that a Secret Service must agent must have just been standing in front of it.
	This was irresponsible and reckless.
	Secondly, photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way in one particular tweet to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the national mall.
	This was the first time in our nation's history that floor coverings have been used to protect the grass in the mall.
	That had the effect of highlighting any areas where people were not standing.
	Well, in years past, the grass eliminated this visual.
	This is also the first time that fencing and magnetometers went as far back on the wall, preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access the mall as quickly as they had in inaugurations past.
	Inaccurate numbers involving crowd size were also tweeted.
	No one had numbers because the National Park Service, which controls the National Mall, does not put any out.
	By the way, this applies to any attempts to try to count the number of protesters today in the same fashion.
	We do know a few things, so let's go through the facts.
	We know that from the platform where the president was sworn in to Fourth Street holds about 250,000 people.
	From 4th Street to the media tent is about another 220,000.
	And from the media tent to the Washington Monument, another another 250,000 people.
	All of this space was full when the president took the oath of office.
	We know that 420,000 people used the DC Metro public transit yesterday, which actually compares to 317,000 that used it for President Obama's last inaugural.
	This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe.
	Even the New York Times printed a photographer a photograph showing the that a misrepresentation of the crowd in the original tweet in their paper, which showed the full extent of the support, depth, and crowd and intensity that existed.
	All right, hour two Sean Hannity show.
	That was Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary just excoriating the media over the weekend.
	No, Martin Luther King's uh statute was not taken out of the Oval Office.
	That never happened.
	And many media outlets did tweet out, did put out information about crowd size that was false, showing crowd size before the inauguration ever took place, with more security than in years gone by.
	It made a huge difference in terms of the early pictures, but they didn't correct the record and they've been arguing about it ever since because obviously that's their top priority in terms of Nielsen ratings.
	The swearing in of Donald Trump was seen by thirty-one million viewers across twelve networks, and it was the uh the best ratings for an inauguration in thirty-six years from when Ronald Reagan was president with Barack Obama being number one, America's first black president.
	Anyway, joining us to discuss this, the day's developments.
	It has been a shock and awe day in Washington in so many different respects is uh former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
	How are you?
	I'm doing great, and I think uh it's fascinating to watch President Trump go to work and to see how rapidly and how decisively he's beginning to do things.
	You know, that's the person that I've known for years, but here's what we've got going on day one.
	He signed three, for example, executive orders.
	One is the withdrawal of the U.S. from the TPP, the Trans Pacific Partnership.
	The next is a federal employee government hiring freeze, except for the military.
	And the next was uh is the policy in regard to Mexico City.
	On top of that, he moves on trade, he reinstated a ban on foreign money promoting abortion, uh federal money supporting abortion.
	He met with executive labor leaders and such, and he wants to slash regulations, government regulations by seventy-five percent or more.
	He is now also discussed fighting terrorism, and he's invited the prime ministers of Great Britain, Canada, Israel, and the uh president of Mexico to all come see him all on day one.
	Well, I and I think uh you know the day's not fully over yet, so who knows what he'll do by ten o'clock tonight.
	Um I mean, I'm very encouraged.
	I think they they're moving in the right direction, and I thought the inaugural speech was uh remarkable.
	I just did today a uh an entire hour-long speech at the Heritage Foundation, putting Trump and his inauguration in context with Lincoln's first inaugural in 1861, and with uh Prime Minister Thatcher.
	And I think uh when you look at it and you read it, uh this is a very historic inaugural address, which continued the themes that got him elected, which is frankly how it ought to work in a free society.
	I mean, a lot of our elites are shocked that he actually was repeating themes that people had voted for him because they thought he would do it.
	But I think that tells you the consistency and the seriousness with which uh President Trump uh views all this.
	On top of that, he's pursuing bilateral trade negotiations with Great Britain.
	He is moving forward with Mexico and Canada as it relates to uh shifting and changing NAFTA.
	We know that he has said that he's not gonna, and he's moving to not enforce the individual mandate as it relates to Obamacare, and his website, now the White House website, actually mirrors the very promises he made on the campaign trail.
	Well, and I think what you're gonna find, frankly, is that Canada will presently be seen as a part of the American economy, and Canada will actually be closer to the British American free trade agreement than they will to the deal with Mexico.
	I think one of the lessons of the last twenty-five years is that Canada's integrated more and more into our economy.
	For example, if a when General Motors builds certain cars, they literally cross the Canadian American border five times, going between different factories.
	Um and so I think you're gonna see the British are very I've met with a number of them.
	They are very eager to have a uh trade agreement with the U.S. as part of their way of saying to the European Union we will survive without you.
	And I think the fact that uh President Trump brought Winston Churchill's bust back to the White House uh is a p pretty positive signal to uh Prime Minister Theresa May that uh this will be a good visit on Friday.
	Well I think that's all true as well.
	And uh he said the words radical Islamic terrorism, which the former President Obama refused to say for eight years.
	Well, you know, and I and I look at some of the reactions of the speeches, I'm I'm mildly surprised that this was a very powerful, very serious speech, which further implanted the flag that Trumpism is going to be dramatically different than either party's establishment has been in the past.
	I'm I I think it was a very healthy speech and and marks uh an important turning point in American history.
	You know, all these companies, starting with Carrier, followed by Ford, followed by Fiat Chrysler, followed by GM, uh followed by this Alibaba guy who's going to invest uh billions dollars, billions of dollars in the U.S., followed by FoxCon and its CEO saying an investment for dis for display plant in the U.S. would exceed seven billion dollars.
	I mean serious investment now.
	Many companies now uh Kroger is gonna fill ten thousand permanent posts they announced.
	Now, the President has said that he's gonna cut the corporate tax from one of the highest in the industrialized world at thirty-five percent to between fifteen and twenty percent.
	He also said he'd get rid of seventy-five percent or more of the burdensome regulations that business face.
	Uh do you believe that that is going to incentivize more of these companies to want to build here?
	Oh, absolutely.
	I think I thought it was very important that the uh chief executive officer of Ford Motor Company said, Look, we are gonna reinvest in the United States because we believe in what Donald Trump's trying to do.
	And the test for the Michigan Democrats is going to be simple.
	Do you care about jobs enough that you will vote for the reforms that the head of Ford Motor Company has said are essential in order to continue to um build jobs in Michigan, or are you so c so committed to the left wing of your party that you'd rather kill jobs than create them?
	I think this is gonna be a very, very important test of where America's going.
	Are you worried in any way?
	There's a couple of battle lines being drawn between the Republican Congress and Donald Trump.
	For example, Donald Trump has now said that he wants a spending freeze and that he'd like to see a ten percent cut off the top of spending in government.
	He said he wants a twenty percent reduction in the workforce size in Washington.
	And I'm reading today, and this was in the Hill, the GOP and Donald Trump set to battle on spending cuts.
	And I'm thinking, well, isn't that a conservative Republican position to limit the size and scope of government?
	Isn't it their goal to reduce the size of government?
	Isn't re uh isn't it a Republican platform issue to balance a budget?
	Why would the Republicans be the opposition to this?
	Well, look, I I always think you have differences of opinion, and that's where the Constitution provides for a legislative and an executive branch.
	Um I don't take any of those kind of charges very seriously.
	They're gonna work out a lot of stuff between 'em.
	Uh and I I just met this morning with fifteen or twenty members of the Judiciary Committee in the House on the Republican side, and and they're all saying, you know, how do we cooperate and coordinate with President Trump?
	They weren't saying how do we rebel.
	But I do think it's natural in the legislative process.
	Uh I mean, as you know, when we balance the federal budget, we increase spending on intelligence and we increase spending on the national institutions of health.
	So sometimes people can have honest differences about how you implement it or what you're implementing.
	But I think on balance we're gonna find that uh you know the the Republican Congress is largely, not entirely, but largely going to uh work with the President to achieve these goals.
	What bothers me though is why did the same Republican Congress in the interim by the time after Donald Trump was elected until he was inaugurated, why did they want to expand the debt ceiling by ten nine point seven trillion dollars over ten years?
	Why did they want to bring earmarks back?
	It seems to me that their agenda is contradicting that of Donald Trump and contradicting the very principles supposedly they went there to stand for.
	Well, I let me draw a distinction between the earmarks, which I'm I'm frankly not aware that they brought them back and tried to.
	They tried to, and and and the Trump position, Uh I I suspect the Trump administration did not mind them expanding the debt ceiling because it gives them breathing room to figure out how to get the budget under control and how to move towards a balanced budget.
	That's a guess on my part, but I'm I'm pretty sure that that's real.
	What is the difference between what you call Trumpism, what you described at the Heritage Foundation, and by the way, he wants to adopt the Heritage's plan to reduce the size and scope of government, which I happen to agree with, and conservatism, if any.
	Well, I think a couple of th I mean, f first of all it depends on what you mean by conservatism.
	Um I think that there is a uh very clear distinction in both populism.
	I I'll give an example.
	Uh Trump is an activist.
	Trump intervenes uh with the carrier corporation, they decide to stay in Indiana.
	Uh Trump intervenes and Ford Motor Company decides to stay in Michigan.
	He actually thinks that's a good thing.
	But but a a conservative economist who's a purist would say, Oh my gosh, you know, he shouldn't be uh doing these kind of things.
	I would argue that every governor in the country does stuff like that, and they know that it's one of the keys to how they get jobs for their state and how they get things done.
	But uh but that's the sort of example.
	Uh there's a whole wave of conservatism that was built around American leadership in the world and America being involved all over the place and and the whole neocon attitude of you know going out and and uh finding wars to fight.
	Trump has concluded that that in fact wasn't a winning strategy, that it didn't get us where we need to go.
	And so he takes a very different view of these things.
	And I think you're gonna see a lot of stuff like that, where you're gonna have uh uh real changes partly because the world has changed.
	I mean, I was the Republican whip who helped I got more votes for NAFTA in the House out of Republicans than than uh Gore and Clinton could get out of Democrats.
	And frankly, in the early nineteen nineties when it when it was the uh final act of Reaganism because Reagan had proposed it back in the late nineteen seventies, it seemed like the right thing to do.
	I have to tell you now, I am equally in favor of fixing it because there are key ways it does not work and is not good for Americans.
	I gotta take a break.
	Um Mr. Speaker, thank you for being with us, and we're gonna see you on Hannity tonight, I believe.
	I I look forward to it.
	It's always exciting.
	We look forward to seeing you then.
	What an incredible shock in awe first day this has been.
	The media can't stand it.
	Voting America and Americans first.
	Now there's a novel idea.
	You're on the Sean Hannity Show.
	Show.
	All right, at the bottom of the hour, we'll check in with Senator Joe Lieberman.
	I wonder who he voted for in this election.
	We'll find out.
	And also the latest on the relationship with Israel is the Prime Minister of Israel, along with the Prime Minister of Great Britain, along with the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of Mexico have all been invited to the Trump White House already.
	Christine is in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
	How are you, Christine?
	And we're glad you called.
	Hey, thank you for taking my call, Sean.
	I really appreciate it.
	What's going on?
	Well, I just wanted to say I have been a lifelong independent, but after all of this junk going on over the weekend and the last few days, I have renewed my driver's license and changed it to Republican.
	I've had enough.
	Listen, I've had enough.
	Donald Trump can keep up this pace and he if we can get the Republicans to build a backbone and stand on their principles of limited government and lower taxes.
	And um and if they could manage their spending, you know, we could actually get the country, you know, headed in the right direction.
	You know, the idea that we're creating a business environment that would be the envy of the world is not a bad idea, is it?
	No, it's not.
	I lost my job four years ago.
	I just went back to school, graduated in December, and I'm really excited for the possibility that Trump brings to the country.
	Right.
	And so am I. And I think we got a great opportunity here to fix it.
	Thank you, uh, Christine.
	Pam in Hampton, Virginia.
	Hi, Pam, how are you?
	I just uh had listened to your inaugural playlist and just had a quick observation.
	It just seems to me that country people, country artists as a whole, uh demonstrate their patriotism are more patriotic and uh support the ideals of a true America better than I guess other venues, you know, the wrath and the the Hollywood and and the other crowds that that you see appearing on TV and elsewhere.
	And just uh wanted to get your take on that.
	Listen, I just the ri I like country music because it it's sort of like if you go to Kenny Chesney or you go to Garth Brooks or you go to Lee Greenwood or Charlie Daniels or any of these great country stars that I happen to like a lot.
	They take you through this emotional roller coaster.
	You know, you're talking about friends in low places and then you go to tomorrow if tomorrow never comes or the dance, or you go to, you know, Kenny Chesney, There Goes My Life, and then it's no shoes, no shirts, no problem whatsoever.
	You know, it's a big party or f you know, so I just love the whole ebb and flow of that.
	And yeah, there's a very patriotic theme that runs through country music that I happen to like are a real lot.
	And um I I've gotten to know a lot of these guys, so I like 'em.
	Right.
	Uh thank you, Pam.
	Uh Vladimir Dayton, Ohio, less than a minute, Vladimir, it's all yours.
	Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call.
	I just wanted to comment on the current situation in America.
	And as a foreigner who legally immigrated from Russia in the late 90s, one phrase comes to mind to describe problems and controversial topics like immigration, thanks or cities, educations and abortions.
	It is consequence-free leaving.
	Current generation raised with no fear of consequences.
	People want to come to the country illegally and then demand rights instead of being prosecuted.
	Call them students, take out loans and then expect taxpayers to pay for it.
	People create life and then I want to end it instead of taking responsibility.
	Let me let me add this, Vladimir, because we are out of time.
	But I will tell you this.
	America was not designed to be the cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, uh socialist redistribution uh experiment.
	This was about freedom, and freedom is about choices.
	And with choices comes responsibility.
	You make good choices, you're gonna do better in your life.
	If you're disciplined, you're gonna do better in your life.
	If you think the government's gonna take care of you, you better not hold your breath because you're gonna die in the process.
	The government has failed at almost everything they have tried.
	All right, we'll take a quick break.
	We'll come back.
	Senator Joe Lieberman is next.
	Two weeks ago, you allowed the U.N. Security Council um to pass a resolution condemning uh Israel's settlements in the West Bank.
	It caused a major fallout between the United States and Israel.
	Was it your decision to abstain?
	Yes, ultimately.
	Why did you feel like you had to do that?
	Well, first of all, Steve, I don't think it caused a major rupture in relations between the United States and Israel.
	If you're saying that uh Prime Minister Netanyahu uh got fired up, uh he's been fired up repeatedly during the course of my presidency, uh around the Iran deal and uh around our consistent objection to settlements.
	Uh so that part of it wasn't new.
	And despite all the noise and hullabaloo, uh military cooperation, intelligence cooperation, all of that is continued.
	We have defended them consistently in every imaginable way, but I also believe that both for our national interests and Israel's national interest, that allowing a ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians that could get worse and worse over time, uh is a problem, and that settlements contribute.
	They're not the sole reason for it, but they are a contributing factor to the inability to solve that problem.
	And you wanted to make that point.
	Not only did I want to make that point, we are reaching a tipping point where the pace of settlements during the course of my presidency has gotten so substantial that it's getting harder and harder to imagine an effective, contiguous Palestinian state.
	And I think it would have long-term consequences for uh peace and security in the region and the United States because of our investment in the region, and because we care so deeply about Israel, I think has a legitimate interest in saying to a friend, this is a problem.
	What we at least wanted to do, understanding that the two parties wouldn't actually arrive at a final status agreement, is to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution because we do not see an alternative to it.
	And and I've said this directly to Prime Minister Netanyahu, I've said it uh inside of Israel.
	I've said it uh to Palestinians as well.
	I don't see how this issue gets resolved in a way that maintains Israel as both Jewish and a democracy.
	Because if you do not have two states, then in some form or fashion, you are extending an occupation.
	Uh functionally, you end up having one state in which millions of people are disenfranchised and operate a second class uh occup uh residents.
	Uh you can't even call them citizens necessarily.
	Um so the goal of the resolution was to simply say that the settlements, the growth of the settlements, are creating a reality on the ground that increasingly will make a two-state solution impossible.
	All right, 24 now till the top of the hour.
	It's the Sean Hannity Show.
	We are back in Washington, D.C. today.
	Glad you could be with us.
	Top stories today is Trump's real first day on the job, the shock and awe uh in D.C. that has happened all day.
	We'll get back to that in a few minutes.
	Also over the weekend, the let's blow up the White House rally with the snowflakes, and of course the media crowd lie obsession that never ends.
	What we were playing there, of course, is Barack Obama's parting s you know, stabbing in the back of uh Israel by not vetoing this UN resolution condemning them.
	And of course, this had happened all throughout the Obama presidency, still a guy that would give the Iranians how many billions of dollars and what in a ransom payment and it goes on and on.
	Uh there is some national security developments today I want to share with you.
	One is Donald Trump has already invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to Washington to visit the White House as he has invited the President of Mexico, as he has invited the Prime Minister of Canada, as he has invited the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
	And joining us now is former Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman.
	He never talks to me during campaigns because it usually hurts him with any friends that he has left.
	And uh if he agrees with me, so we usually avoid political discussions.
	Uh how are you, sir?
	Happy new year.
	I'll talk to you any time.
	But anyway, it's it's good to uh be talking to you today.
	Thank you.
	Well, we've been friends a long time.
	Um you and I have discussed uh at length the horrific treatment, and I don't I'm not want to put words in your mouth, but what I view is the horrific treatment of Israel by this by this former president now Obama, and it seems like things are gonna return to what I would say is normal, and that is the incredibly strong, friendly relationship we have.
	What did you think of this last act of Obama?
	Well, I d abstaining from the UN Security Council resolution, I thought it was uh uh really bad uh and uh unjustified.
	Uh I I heard all that uh uh uh President said in response to those questions, but um uh uh the problem with that resolution is that it makes it seem like the uh only or the major at least impediment to an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement is the Israelis building uh housing for people, and that's just not the case.
	The the the major the Israelis uh have said over and over again, beginning with Prime Minister Netanyahu, that they're prepared to sit down with the Palestinians, but the uh uh Palestinians number one are divided into two governments, one in the West Bank, one in Gaza, the one in Gaza is still officially committed to the destruction of Israel, so they're not going to be very good peace partners, and the and the second has not shown a real willingness to sit down uh and negotiate and take the risks that are necessary for peace.
	So I thought going out the door uh this way for the Obama administration and its relations with Israel was uh was wrong.
	And uh and it and it was it is hurtful to Israel in the sense that it gives the anti-Israel crowd in the world and also here, um uh something to feed on because now the United States, which everybody knows is close to Israel, has taken this anti-Israel stand.
	I'll tell you something else.
	It uh hurts um us in our relations around the world because when countries in Asia or Latin America or Africa uh see us um uh basically turning our back on one of our closest allies, Israel, they they wonder what we'll do when um they're in trouble.
	And uh just to go back to what you just said, Sean, I think that um the prospects right now are not only that uh relations under President Trump will return to their normally good status uh with Israel and the United States.
	Frankly, they may be better than they've been in a long time.
	I think they will be better than they've been in a long time.
	I talked at length with uh then candidate uh Donald Trump about it.
	Have you ever been able to reconcile in your mind why President Obama shows and has shown such hostility, not only to Bibi Netanyahu, but to Israel and his treatment, for example, the first visit he made, he was he left him.
	He just said, You you tell me if you want to talk.
	Walked away from the Prime Minister.
	And then can you reconcile that with his inability to say radical Islamic terror?
	Can you reconcile that with this ridiculous insane Iranian nuclear deal?
	Right and w and what do you what do you make of the thought process that gets you close to enemies and an inability to recognize evil in our time and alienating your closest ally in this battle?
	Yeah, well, I agree.
	Listen, I I think that uh a part of this was a general world view that President Obama had and obviously still has.
	And it was affected by the two thousand eight election, where he promised over and over again, uh I'm gonna be the president who's gonna get America out of wars, not into wars.
	And uh that uh became a policy um that uh uh uh uh was read by people around the world uh as basically the U.S. no longer being the leader that could be relied on in the world.
	And in the Middle East that was particularly true uh in the in the relationship with Iran that uh was the center piece of the of the Obama foreign policy and and the deal that you and I both agree was a bad deal, it will have bad consequences,
	but part of what it did is to break our traditional um relationship with our allies, both in the Arab world and in Israel, who together have about the same level of anxiety about Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
	So um uh you know, it was uh in some ways uh it was a worldview that the president brought in, in other ways it was a reaction to two thousand eight campaign.
	Uh either way, uh I think uh uh on this one the president leaves with the U.S. less secure in the world uh than uh than before he came in.
	I mean, I will say that in all that long di soliloquy that he that you played at the beginning that the one thing that is true, uh and I and you have to say uh some credit for uh uh President Obama, but a lot of it goes to bipartisan pro-Israel majority in Congress,
	the U.S. Israel military relationship and the intelligence relationship over the last eight years has remained uh very solid, including in development of great programs like Iron Dome, which we and uh U.S. are now going to be able to use to protect our own uh facilities.
	I saw it when I was in Israel.
	I was right next to it, and it's amazing, and its technology is so incredible.
	Um and I also saw the ten thousand rockets that landed in Sarut.
	And uh it it's quite frightening.
	One other development on this side, though.
	I know that General that uh President Trump has already reached out to General El Sisi of Egypt in an attempt to unify with him.
	I think El Sisi gave one of the most courageous speeches.
	That frankly that should have been given by an American president in denouncing radical Islam.
	And so he has reached out already to General El Sisi, and he invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House, as I mentioned, and during his inaugural address went out of his way to actually say what this past president would never say.
	Radical Islamic terrorism.
	What what message does all of this send to the world?
	Yeah, so as you know, I totally agree with you uh about the use of the term radical Islamist terrorism, because that's what it is.
	Uh it's not violent extremism.
	There's a lot of violent extremism.
	You voted for Trump, didn't you?
	I bet you voted for Trump.
	Well that's a matter of privacy, you know.
	But not I voted for Trump.
	It's private if you only want to keep it private.
	I voted for Trump.
	What did you vote for?
	No, I I supported Clinton in this campaign.
	Uh uh and it was the first time in three elections that I've come back and I'm still a Democrat, I've supported the Democrat.
	But on the question of radical Islamist terrorism, uh I c I could never agree with uh Obama, never understand it.
	If I was a Muslim, uh I I'd like to have these crazies who are out there in the name of Islam b blowing up people, cutting their heads off, be described as something other than what I am.
	Uh in other words, as a not a Muslim, but a radical Islamist terrorist.
	Incidentally, uh about President Al-Sisi.
	Look, he's run a a regime uh that's uh uh you know been tough on human rights in some ways, but um he is Egypt is at the center of the Arab world.
	They have traditionally been uh great allies of ours.
	And that speech that you referred to that he gave I was one of the most important speeches given in the last several years.
	And you know, for all of you.
	I gotta take a break.
	Stay right there.
	We'll have a few more minutes with with Senator Joe Lieberman.
	It was Churchillian to me.
	Um in many, many ways.
	Final hour roundup is next.
	You do not want to miss it.
	And stay tuned for the final hour free for all on the Sean Hannity Show.
	Right, as we continue, we are in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., our final moments with Senator Joe Lieberman, who is with us.
	So what do you make of Donald Trump's just first hours in office and all that he's accomplished today?
	You know, he uh moves, gets rid of TPP, hiring frees on federal workers, reinstates a ban on foreign money promoting abortion, uh meeting uh with executives promising he's gonna slash regulation by seventy-five percent.
	Uh the executive orders he signed, and and so much more.
	What do you what are your thoughts on day one?
	Uh my thoughts are as somebody else has said elections have consequences.
	He made uh uh certain promises, and the big promise was to bring change to Washington.
	And you know, I I've talked all along.
	You look at the most important poly number I saw over the last two years was that two-thirds of the American people consistently said they felt the country was headed in the wrong direction.
	They were crying out for change.
	He promised it, and I thought it was his inaugural address.
	Uh he it was a hard-hitting inaugural address, more than normal.
	But I thought it was exactly right for him to give.
	And let me just say, as somebody who's been an independent in my time.
	It really was a non-partisan.
	You were you were drinking this year, weren't you during the election?
	There's no way you voted for Hillary Clinton.
	What were you thinking?
	Well, he was it was an independent speech he gave.
	Honestly, he he was as critical uh of members of both parties in the Washington establishment, and he's right.
	And now I think part of the change so all the things he's done are in the last few days keeping the promise.
	Now I think he's really got to get some stuff done legislatively, and for that, I hope he can use his skills and deal making to call it what it is to to negotiate some bipartisan agreements to get some stuff done.
	Because part of the change that I think the American people want to see in Washington is for Washington to start working again to solve some of their problems.
	So overall, I think he ought to pay less attention to crowd size and let Sean Spicer and others deal with that.
	But other than that, I think he's off to a very strong start.
	You know, keeping your promises.
	I was watching MBC, and they're like, oh my gosh, his inaugural address was was actually everything he said in the campaign.
	He actually meant it.
	And I'm like, well, have you people paid any attention to what he's been saying?
	Yeah.
	But that in a way that was different and shows what a different politician and president he'll be.
	He actually dressed it up a little for the inauguration, but he actually repeated the basic theme of his campaign, which he's about change, and he's he's gonna bring power back to the people.
	Took me back to Senator P is there for a while.
	Power to the people.
	Yeah.
	Slightly different.
	Yeah, slightly different.
	Former Senator Joe Lieberman and uh a friend of the program.
	I can't believe you voted for Hillary now.
	Uh you my my y you went down fifteen points over that one.
	Uh but anyway, thank you, Senator.
	I appreciate your time.
	What can I tell you?
	But I was glad she was at the inaugural, and that that should be a real grip.
	I was glad she was there as not the winner.
	Uh 800-941 Sean, toll-free telephone number, news roundup information overload.
	We have a snowflake.
	Uh, yeah, if in case you missed it, the blow up the White House rally from this weekend.
	That's next.
	You know, I could do this all day.
	And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything.
	Thank you.
	You it is the beginning of much needed change.
	We have to take over the Democratic Party.
	We need new leadership, we need young leadership, we need women leadership.
	We need people of color, we need gay and lesbian and bisexual and transgender.
	We will not build a stupid role!
	And we will not tear millions of families apart!
	Not on our watch.
	And we believe that sexism, racism, homophobia, and bigotry has no place in this country.
	Black lives matter.
	Diversity makes us country stronger.
	Blocks are still in shackles and brave just for being black.
	Slavery has been reinterpreted as the prison system in front of people who see melanin as animal skin.
	I am not as nasty as a swastika painted on a pride flag.
	And I didn't know devils could be resurrected, but I feel Hitler in these streets.
	A mustache traded for a toupee.
	Nazis renamed the cabinet electro conversion therapy, the new gas chamber shaming the gay out of America turning rainbows into suicide notes.
	When we elect a possible president, we too often go home.
	We've elected an impossible present president.
	We're never going home.
	We're staying together.
	And we're taking over.
	That said, I respect that you are our president-elect, and I want to be able to support you.
	But first, I ask that you support me.
	I ask you to support all women and our fight for equality in all things.
	Not nasty.
	Like the convo of Trump and Pence being served up to me in my voting booth.
	I'm nasty, like my bloodstains on my bed sheets.
	We don't actually choose if and when to have our periods, believe me, if we could, some of us would.
	Yes.
	I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	But I know that this won't change anything.
	There you have it, the latest snowflake update from the women's march this weekend.
	This montage of Elizabeth Warren, Madonna, Michael Moore, Ashley Judd, Gloria Steinem, and Scarlet Johansson, and what I am describing as a let's blow up the White House rally this weekend.
	And what's fascinating about this, instead of drawing booze when Madonna said, Let's blow up the White House, I've thought about it.
	And the reference to violence followed her exhorting the crowd to have the revolution starts here.
	And then revealing her explosive inner thoughts, which apparently is now going to be investigated by the Secret Service.
	But according to the Gateway Pundit spokesman for the Secret Service said they were not aware of Madonna's comments.
	We'll open an investigation.
	The ultimate decision on whether to prosecute is the decision in the U.S. attorney's office.
	They probably want to turn her into a martyr on the left if in fact that happens.
	I mean, it just never ends the insanity.
	DC McAllister with the Federalist and PJ Media, Emily Shires, a politics editor at Bussel, and she was at the women's march.
	Uh, are you proud of everything you just heard here?
	Are you proud of Madonna saying F you to detractors?
	Are you proud of her saying I've thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House?
	Are you proud of Ashley?
	With that sentiment, but I also would say for a march with 500,000 people and over 2.6 million people marching worldwide and no reported acts of violence.
	They did uh pretty well.
	Okay, you're not asking, you're not you're listening I know you have an agenda, but I'm asking you.
	Madonna, F you to the detractors.
	I've thought an awful lot of blowing up the White House.
	Ashley Judd.
	Uh I'm not as nasty as a swastiker painted on a pride flag, saying that I'm nasty like wage inequality.
	I'm nasty like the bloodstains on my bed sheets.
	Michael Moore, we have to take over the Democratic Party, etc.
	He supports Keith Ellison, who's had very radical positions and associations as the DNC chair, or Elizabeth Warren.
	We won't build a stupid wall and tear families apart, and we have an impossible president.
	We're taking over, Gloria Steinem says, Are you proud of all this?
	No, but I'm not, I don't agree with everything that is said, just in the same way that I would lead you.
	Most Republicans aren't.
	But those are the leaders, those were your stars.
	That those were your stars during your party.
	Those were your stars at your rally.
	The party is recorded on tape for the whole country to hear bragging about grabbing women's general without their consent.
	I think the reality is we aren't always in agreement with people who are representative of different people.
	So you're gonna compare taking over the White House and blowing it up to a stupid comment locker room talk that was made when he didn't think his mic was on DC.
	Excuse me, there are other guests here.
	DC McAllister, what are your thoughts on this?
	This march didn't represent women at all.
	And I just want to get that out there.
	This is about leftism.
	It's about statism.
	And this is a liberal march.
	It's more the march of Julia's.
	It's not about women.
	It doesn't represent women.
	Pro-life women were shunned from this event.
	It didn't represent all views.
	There wasn't true diversity in this crowd.
	And you know, the fundamental point, these women were just having a temper tantrum.
	I mean, that's what I heard from Madonna and Judd and the rest of them.
	It's just a conga line of babies pitching a fit because they didn't win the election.
	They didn't have anything of substance to say.
	They just yelled at people and talked about things that aren't true.
	They said that we don't have equal rights.
	We do have equal rights in this country.
	Women are free.
	Women aren't beaten down.
	There are no oppressed classes in this country.
	So it was just a bunch of propaganda on parade.
	And it did not represent me, it didn't represent my daughters.
	It didn't represent the America, the free America, where people have personal responsibility for their personal choices in this country.
	It didn't represent those of us who believe in those principles.
	Well, let me ask Emily.
	Emily, I have a question for you.
	Emily, Emily, Emily, you've got to play ball.
	This is an interview show.
	Why were the pro-life groups told they can't attend?
	First of all, I actually did see pro-life marchers, and I was very pleased to see that.
	Okay, but there were specific there were specific groups denied access.
	And I personally disagree with that because I do think you need a greater diversity of thoughts.
	But that was the organizers of the women's march.
	Look, I didn't organize the march.
	I attended as a reporter.
	And I have to say, though, that you're not going to be able to do that.
	And by attending that means that everybody by attending, that means that that is some tacit approval, isn't it?
	Because if you really believed in the rights of all women to march there, including women that disagree with you on abortion, uh they should have been allowed to march, but you're not going to make a point of excluding them.
	You don't care.
	Well, well, I have a question.
	No, I I have a question for Emily if you if you'll answer this for me.
	Um what I've been hearing from women that I've interacted with about the march is that it's all about this idea that we don't have equal rights, that women aren't treated equally in this country, and that marginalized groups aren't.
	Well, I have to ask, when did this start?
	When did this great inequality in America against women begin?
	Did it begin on Friday?
	Did it begin ten days ago?
	Did it begin a year ago?
	Did it begin 20 years ago?
	You know, and if it began just recently, how is that institutionalized?
	How do we have inequality all of a sudden in this country?
	And if it's been going on for years, what I want to know from people like you is then why were you not out marching during Barack Obama's reign?
	Why were you not out with these women with all these pussy hats, which is ridiculous that women have to don representations of their of their genitalia to make a point is objectification that they bring upon themselves?
	But why weren't they marching um under Barack Obama?
	And we wouldn't have to be able to do that.
	Because now we have inequality happening who's happily rapped about grabbing women without their consent who has been accused by a few of women of sexual assault.
	So this is all about the many women, not all.
	And by the way, women are a beautifully diverse group.
	Any march is not gonna cover all of them.
	Can I ask you a question?
	Can I can I ask you a question?
	Did you vote for Hillary?
	Did you vote for Hillary?
	Did you ever did you ever write about Hillary Clinton accepting money from Dubai and from the UAE?
	Absolutely and from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
	Excuse me, can I finish?
	Can I finish?
	And the fact that these countries abuse women and women can't drive and women are told how to dress, and they're given or not given permission to go to school or work, and gays and lesbians are killed, and Christians and Jews are persecuted.
	Do you think that Hillary Clinton by doing all taking money from all those countries was worse than those words you keep regurgitating about Donald Trump in a in a locker room moment?
	Look, we reported on the Clinton factory.
	Is it worse?
	I'm asking I asked you if it's worse.
	Do you know what?
	I actually do think it's worse that Donald Trump has never apologized for the fact you think Donald Trump is worse than taking money from countries that kill gays.
	Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, I misunderstood you.
	So I want to be clear.
	So you think It's worse what Donald Trump said in an unscripted locker room moment than taking money from countries that abuse women, kill gays and lesbians, and persecute Christians and Jews.
	You think that comment's worse than taking money, millions of millions of dollars.
	You know what?
	I don't think they're actually comparable.
	Such a cop out, Denise, uh to DC.
	Yeah, well, that's certainly not comp comparable at all.
	I mean, it's a lot worse what's going on in these Muslim countries.
	And uh, you know, but one thing I I want to point out is that this again, this march is not about anything substantive.
	It's about jitting up the war on women narrative for a 2018, 2020 narrative for those elections.
	Because the left, the Democrat Party is bankrupt.
	It doesn't have ideas, it only has propaganda, and this is one big movement of propaganda, and they say it's not gonna stop.
	This is just the beginning, and they're gonna get it rolling.
	And I believe them.
	They are gonna have this rolling for the next two years and four years, because it's all about this narrative of war on women, which has been a lie from its inception.
	There is no war on women, there is no oppression in this country, people are free, we have diversity, it's respected, and women need to wrap their heads around where their real rights come from, and it's not from things like this, and it's not from pussy hats.
	It's from our constitution and respecting the rights of one another, which we have in this country.
	Did you wear one of those hats, Emily?
	No, I did not wear one of those hats.
	All right, we'll take a quick break.
	We'll we'll discuss where this movement is going and is this gonna be the norm for the next four years.
	We'll continue with DC McAllister and Emily Shire, then we'll get to your calls toll-free final half hour of the program today, 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Ready to reveal and replace Obama's executive orders.
	Then you've come to the right place.
	The Sean Hannity Show.
	All right, as we continue Sean Hannity Show, 800 941 Sean, our toll-free telephone number.
	We'll get to your calls in the next half hour, I promise.
	Uh, but we continue our discussion about this well, blow up the White House rally that took place over the weekend, and Michael Moore and Elizabeth Warren and Madonna and Ashley Judd and Gloria Steinem and Scarlet Johansson and F you to detractors of the women's march, Madonna said.
	And I thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	And then, of course, you have Ashley Judd comparing, you know, Donald Trump.
	This is like a swasticker and calling him a Nazi, and I'm nasty like wage inequality, I'm nasty like the blood stains on my bed sheets, Michael Moore going insane, and so much more.
	And joining us, Emily Shire.
	She's the p politics editor at Bustle and DC McAllister is with the Federalist and PJ Media.
	And so is this going to be the next four years for you, Emily?
	Tell me what Donald Trump, what position that you think he's taken?
	Position on an issue that you believe hurts women.
	Well, I think the fact that we've elected someone who has been accused by multiple women of subsults and never.
	Okay, you now you now said the same thing 40 Wait.
	No, no, no.
	You said the same thing 40 times.
	I asked you to what position, what position has he ever taken that you think will hurt women's rights?
	We don't think this is wrong to point out.
	The message did have a pro-to-inplant.
	I know, but you be but once you make it the first ten times we got the point.
	What do you what position does he take that you feel hurts women?
	Well, the fact that he wants to appoint several pro-life judges who will overturn Roe v.
	Wade.
	He has a virus.
	And what would that mean for abortion in America?
	Do you even know?
	Yeah, we do know.
	When women don't have to have access to abortion, they're not.
	So women, so you're saying all abortion would be outlawed if Roe v.
	Wade were overturned?
	It would certainly be a lot harder.
	Even when we have rogue waiting in the world, DC McAllister regulation.
	It's typical fear-mongery of the left.
	That's not true, DC, is it?
	No, it it's the fact is, and she just said it.
	I mean, when you press them to the wall, this is just about abortion and about them wanting to keep their right to killing babies.
	And you know, as far as overturning River V Wade, it'll be thrown back to the states.
	So it'll be back to the states where it should be, and people can make on a local level a decision of whether they want to have abortion legal or not, and states can decide, and you can vote with your feet if you don't like it, and you can move to a state where you can kill your babies anytime you want.
	So it's really about abortion.
	That's what this is about.
	It's also about and I want to point out it's also about an attack on men, white straight men in particular.
	I mean, when you look when you listen to that litany of everyone speaking, you know, it's all about everyone but the white straight men.
	Is that somehow they've become evil?
	You know, and I saw two two pictures, two signs of little kids at this rally, and one of them was a little boy holding a sign saying boys will be boys with boys crossed out and good humans written underneath.
	And then you had beside him a girl holding a sign saying girl power.
	So it's okay for girls to talk about their gender and their sex and and be praised about you know I'm a girl, I'm a woman, I'm a feminist, but boys.
	Boys can't talk about being boys.
	You know, what why not human power?
	Why is it girl power?
	But boys can't be boys.
	I mean, this is what this is.
	We have an attack, we have an award.
	We're gonna have it from now on between the sexes and an oppression.
	If there's any attack martialized class that's coming on the horizon, it's men in this country.
	And if you don't believe it, just look at real laws that are in place that do attack men.
	And you know, we need to wrap our heads around this and put a stop to all these celebrities and all this BS that's going on in our country with these women who aren't thinking with their heads, they're thinking with their vaginas, and they need to knock it off.
	Give you the last word, Emily.
	How do you respond to that?
	I mean, if you care about abortion rights and protecting women and intruding control over their bodies, yes, they are thinking with their vaginas.
	But I would say to the point that there is a war on men.
	Have you looked at who is our president and his cabinet of representation in Congress?
	It's dominated by men.
	I don't think men to be targeted, but I also would say there's no evidence that I have been targeted.
	Look at the people in power.
	Your argument completely falls lappy.
	All right, we're gonna have to leave it there, but we appreciate both of you uh being with us.
	Unbelievable.
	What a weekend this is.
	We'll get your reaction to all this when we get back toll-free.
	It's 800-941 Sean.
	If you want to be a part of the program, I'll be in the White House tonight with Kellyanne Conway, and we also have uh Gloria Ingram is gonna be with us tonight, and Senator Rampall and Senator Mike Lee.
	Ten Eastern, Hannity Fox will continue with your calls.
	Um, I am myself I'm a um first generation immigrant, and this this really hits home very strongly.
	Like everything that's going on with um the things he's threatening, um, the rights he's he's talking about taking away the uh the way he wants to treat um immigrants as second class citizens is just unacceptable.
	And my parents didn't come here for this reason, so I'm I'm here for for them.
	Um, well, I want to be part of this important moment in history.
	Like I think that I think that this is gonna be remembered for a long time, so I want to be part of it.
	Uh, I agree with Katie.
	Um women should have equal speeches in men, and growing up, we have uh um opportunity to change, and this is one of the ways that we can change um America and make it more fair for women.
	This is seen as an anti uh President Trump as well.
	Trump got elected yesterday.
	How important do you think it is that we're voices are heard in the Trump?
	I think that it's important for women to have uh actually does everyone have equal rights and to be able to be heard and have an opinion.
	Um I think that women should have the equal opinion and we shouldn't be scared to speak out for what we think and believe in front of Trump and his presidency, and we just shouldn't be scared.
	I'm not nasty like the combo of Trump and Pence being served up to me in my voting booth.
	I'm nasty like the battles my grandmothers fought to get me into that voting booth.
	I'm nasty like the fight for wage equality, Scarlet Johansson.
	Why were the female actors paid less than half of what the male actors earned last year?
	See, even when we do go in to hire paying jobs, our wages are still cut with blades sharpened by testosterone.
	Why is the work of a black woman and a Hispanic woman worth only 63 and 54 cents of a white man's privileged daughter?
	This is not a feminist mess.
	This is in equality.
	So we are not here to be debunked.
	We are here to be respected.
	We are here to be nasty.
	I'm nasty, like my blood stains on my bed sheets.
	We don't actually choose if and when to have our periods, believe me, if we could, some of us would.
	We don't like throwing away our favorite pairs of underpants.
	Tell me why are pads and tampax still taxed.
	Oh, that was a brand name.
	Why are tampons and pads still taxed When Viagra and Rogain are not is your erection really more than protecting the sacred messy part of my womanhood is the bloodstain on my jeans.
	More embarrassing than the shitting of your hair.
	And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything, f*** you.
	F*** you.
	You is the beginning of much needed change.
	Change that will require sacrifice people.
	Change that will require many of us to make different choices in our lives.
	But this is the hallmark of revolution.
	So my question to you today is are you ready?
	I said, are you ready?
	Say yes, we are ready.
	Yes, I'm angry.
	Yes, I am outraged.
	Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	But I know that this won't change anything.
	Not fall into despair, as the poet W. H. Auden once wrote on the eve of World War II.
	We must love one another or die.
	I choose love.
	I'm literally about to tell myself that I'm not a kidding.
	You better fix it right now.
	I literally am gonna die.
	I need an ambulance.
	There you have it.
	The anti-Trump march, feminist march, the blow up the White House march on Washington from the weekend.
	And our latest snowflake superstorm update as they continue their meltdown.
	You cannot make this stuff up.
	That was at actually sharpened by testosterone.
	Really?
	You know, I'm nasty.
	I'm nasty like the bloodstains on my bed sheets.
	I've thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	Unbelievable.
	They're unhinged.
	800 nine-four-one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	All right, let's go to Don in Cincinnati, Ohio, 55K RC.
	Don, we're in Washington.
	Welcome to the program.
	Hi, Sean.
	How are you?
	I'm good, sir.
	How are you?
	Uh great day to be an American.
	Uh of uh Willie Cunningham, one of your favorite.
	Um I just want to say uh listening to you about eight years ago.
	I listen to you every day on the wild market.
	Yes, sir.
	You break it up on me.
	Talk a little closer to the mic there if you can.
	Uh I've got a bad connection here, but um I never knew what a conservative man, so I started listening to you about eight years ago.
	And uh, I would like to say that I finally figured out exactly what uh what that means.
	Um I want to congratulate you and everybody else that helped get Trump elected, because I think you had a lot to do with it.
	And uh that's about all I want to do.
	I appreciate you, kind words.
	I really do.
	You know, what I saw today, and if you're just joining us, you know, really a number of big stories, the shock and awe of a really day one in Trump in Washington, D.C. today, and then of course they blow up the White House rally from the weekend, and of course, the media obsessed with well, not how we're gonna fix the country and get people out of poverty and off of food stamps and back in the labor force.
	No, they're they're fixated on arguing with Sean Spicer over the crowd size of the inauguration and purposefully lying about it and distorting it.
	But um, this is a pretty amazing thing.
	What we have here.
	You know, Trump gets in there, and the first thing he does is, you know, say goodbye, TPP.
	See you later.
	Hiring freeze, so we can begin the process of reigning in the size and scope and influence of government in our lives, with the exception of the military.
	The you know, look at the hiring freeze that took place today.
	Look at the moves he's making on trade.
	Look at the the appointments he has made with the prime ministers of Great Britain, of Israel, of Canada, and the president of Mexico.
	You know, look at the the effort to move towards bilateral trade with Great Britain, eliminate NAFTA and uh a possible border tax if companies want cheap labor in Mexico in spite of the deregulation that is about to occur and of course the incentivizing and one of the lowest tax rates for business in the industrialized world.
	Um look at the moves on Obamacare on day one.
	There's gonna be no more penalty if you didn't get Obamacare for crying out loud.
	You know, the website actually mirrors the promises that he made.
	You know, wanting to slash regulations by seventy-five percent, uh making a call to L Sisi, the the general president of of Egypt in an attempt to begin the battle of defeating ISIS.
	That's a hell of a first day.
	That's a shock in awe first day.
	And that is the Donald Trump that I know.
	And he'll be still working, I can promise you, at twelve o'clock tonight when I did talk to him, either before the campaign or during the campaign, or if I talk to him since he's been elected, it's it's a twelve o'clock, one o'clock in the morning.
	He will work from six, that's what he wants to do.
	He doesn't he doesn't want to play golf.
	He wants to fix the mess.
	And how refreshing it was that an inaugural speech actually sounded like the promises somebody made on the campaign trail.
	Shelley is in New York.
	She's holding down the fort while we are here in Washington, D.C. on WOR, the news and talk of New York.
	How are you?
	Hey, Sean, how are you?
	I'm good.
	What's going on?
	How can I help you?
	All right.
	Well, I here's what I wanted to say about the march.
	You know, Obama's had eight years to fix whatever these women are upset about, which we don't even know what they're really upset about.
	He's had eight years to take care of it.
	So they just decided to come out the other day.
	Where have they been?
	Why weren't they marching when he was president?
	Why weren't they marching against Hillary taking money from countries that abuse women and kill gays and lesbians and persecute Christians and Jews?
	Yeah.
	I mean, where's that?
	I feel like they all have these daddy issues.
	They want free health care, free sanitary supplies.
	They're whining, they're demanding.
	And why aren't they protesting the women who are being sold and draped in burqa's and not able to drive?
	Things like that.
	I have no idea.
	But you know, I mean, like this woman we had, Emily Shire in the last hour.
	I mean, sure I'm sure she's a lovely woman.
	But the idea that this never came up or motivated Madonna or Elizabeth Warren or Michael Moore or Ashley Judd or or Gloria Steinem and Scarlett Johansson just tells you how phony these people are.
	Yep.
	They're just a bunch of phony lying hypocrites.
	And and frankly, they sound stupid.
	They're not particularly intelligent.
	Maybe they should stick to their day job of memorizing their lines.
	Anyway, thank you.
	Uh is it Diane Diane's in Wisconsin, Wisconsin Rapids.
	How are you?
	Glad you called.
	I'm good.
	How are you today, Sean?
	I'm good.
	Welcome to the program.
	As a woman, I felt great relief on Friday.
	I mean, it was the best day.
	Um I feel for eight years.
	I have aged terribly with the doom and gloom, this country's age.
	But once Trump took that oath successfully with no problem and no interruption, I feel like I got four years of chamony, and I hope to get eight more years out of it.
	I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
	Because you mentioned one of our great advertisers, Shamani and SOT XV and Genusel.
	Uh we're gonna send you a package over to your house for free on me, okay?
	Thank you.
	And every woman I know that tries it loves it.
	I think you're gonna like it.
	Bill Clinton did a lot worse than what Trump did.
	Trump mentioned it.
	Bill carried it through, and these women just about that.
	It's met critical.
	Men say stupid things when they're alone together.
	I'm just gonna be honest.
	And you know, there is such thing as locker room talk, and to be honest, I know women that talk this way too.
	I really do.
	And and women can be worse than men sometimes.
	It's uh I don't think anybody means anything by it.
	You know, we're we're in this politically correct era where people care more about more about words than they do about actions.
	Hillary took real millions from real countries that really oppress women that don't let them drive, that tell them how to dress, that tell them whether they can go to school or work, that don't let them fly out of the country without a male's permission for crying out loud.
	You know, everyone says, well, Hannity, you're against gay marriage.
	Big deal.
	Who cares what Hannity thinks about gay marriage?
	It doesn't mean a thing to anybody's life.
	I happen to believe I don't really care what any adult does in the privacy of their own bedroom.
	It's none of my business.
	None whatsoever.
	But Hannity speaks out against killing gays and lesbians in these under radical Islam and these sharia countries.
	And Hannity speaks for religious freedom for Christians and Jews that are persecuted.
	And there's been a genocide of Christians in Iraq and a purging the world has not seen since World War II.
	And nobody seems to pay attention to it, frankly, but us.
	By the way, protesters block blocked Air Force veterans from entering.
	Wasn't that nice of them?
	You know, as a Soros funded protest.
	They vow to shut down inauguration celebration events erupted in D.C. in the inauguration.
	Want to talk about deplorable?
	Well, they blocked U.S. Air Force veterans.
	Thank you very much.
	Anyway, let's go to our phones.
	Uh let's say hi to Nicole, is in Washington, D.C., where we are.
	How are you, Nicole?
	Hi, Sean.
	How's it going?
	I'm good.
	How are you?
	I'm doing pretty good.
	I was just calling to see if you had actually watched that video of the Air Force veterans being blocked.
	I saw uh Sunshine over here.
	Lawrence showed it to me, sent it to me earlier.
	Yeah, that happens to be my fiance and my father in that video.
	Is that that's your father in that video?
	That's my father.
	Yeah, uh, a war veteran who spent lots of time overseas, away from his family, missing holidays, trying to go see the inauguration of his new commander in chief and just getting harassed and blocked by protesters.
	Unbelievable.
	Unbelievable.
	And uh and your dad, we should interview your dad.
	Well, listen, you tell your dad from from us that we're really proud of him.
	You tell your dad from us that shouldn't have happened in America, that those are the rights he fought and risked his life for, okay.
	Thank you very much.
	We appreciate that.
	All right, I appreciate it.
