	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	All right, hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941 Sean.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	Um, nobody uh impresses me more with their knowledge of our founders, our framers, our constitution than the great one Mark Levin.
	He has written numerous bestsellers, I think six, seven now, number one New York Times bestselling books.
	This is this is destined.
	It will be the next number one New York Times bestseller.
	Maybe his most important book, although Liberty and Tyranny was a phenomenal book.
	You know, Mark had written in in one of his books that we now live in a post-constitutional America.
	When I talk about we have a dual justice system, we don't no longer have equal justice, equal application of our laws.
	Well, well, that's a post-constitutional America.
	That's not the way the system was designed.
	But in his brand new book, this is just out, it's called American Marxism.
	Mark does a lot of things in this book.
	He he captures and defines the moment we are now living in and how frankly dangerous it is to this great republic.
	I mean, there's no doubt that these elections coming up in November of 2022, November 2024, it's it's kind of do or die.
	I mean, America's got to reverse course.
	As as bad as I knew Biden and the new Green Deal radical socialists would be, and I never thought it would be this bad.
	I never thought we would see a president this cognitively compromised, all these promises, false promises, false hope that will never be fulfilled, you know, by new Green Deal Socialists.
	We we know it's not going to happen.
	But not only does it define the time that we live in, it also gives a plan of action.
	So many of you so often ask me, well, what can I do?
	Well what Hannity, what do we do?
	And I've given you a three-point plan.
	And seventeen states now are actively looking to implement election reform.
	So some of the things that we saw all the way back in 2000 in Florida, 2016 in Florida, 2020 around the country, can never happen again.
	And first that means you have to get in touch with state senators and assemblymen and legislators and and make sure that we have integrity in our election process, confidence in our election results.
	The next thing is this will write itself, the failures again of flirting with new Green Deal socialism, the people that failed on law and order and and destroyed our school system, the ones that promised you keep your doctor plan and save money.
	You know, now we're gonna hand them over what?
	Guaranteed government daycare, uh child care, pre-K, free college, uh college loan forgiveness, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed wages, guaranteed health care, guaranteed healthy food, guaranteed retirement, guaranteed, guaranteed, guaranteed.
	Well, whatever manifestation socialism has taken on over the course of history, whatever name it's it's used, we see it unfolding in Cuba today.
	It it always ends the results are predictable.
	It will fail.
	These are this is false hope and these are false promises.
	They'll never be fulfilled.
	You always end up with more poverty.
	You always end up with uh, you know, whatever degree of freedom you give up in the name of false security.
	And Mark goes through all of this, guaranteed to be a number one bestseller, and I and I'm gonna keep Mark on for a while today because I really want him to go through this book.
	I have torn it apart, start to finish.
	It's a phenomenal book.
	Mark, I I I love Liberty and Tyranny.
	I love Rescuing Sprite and all your books, but I I've got to be honest, at this moment in in our history.
	I think this is defining our times, and it also provides a row map roadmap uh and an antidote and how to resolve what is a predictable decline of our great republic.
	Uh welcome back, sir.
	Well, I want to thank you, Sean, and uh your magnificent audience out there.
	And uh I've been chomping at the bit.
	You know, for three months I've been discussing this book relatively at a surface level.
	And uh I wrote this book to try and build a movement around some of the things that are already happening in this country, like the Tea Party movement or the Reagan movement or the Trump movement, because that's what's gonna take to claw our way back out of the abyss.
	We're not at the precipice looking in the abyss.
	We're in the abyss.
	And we need to climb our way out.
	There is a movement that has been growing over the last many decades and it's in front of us.
	And one of the things I do with this book, Sean, is I call it what it is.
	It's an American form of Marxism.
	And I know the media are going to hate it and they will attack me, but they don't matter.
	They are corrupt.
	They are dishonest, and they're part of the problem, and they're carrying the ball for these movements.
	You will never see the movement disagree with any single one of these Marxist movements, whether it's critical race theory, the degrowth movement dressed up as climate change or global warming, the transgender movement, uh, which is now spreading throughout our elementary schools, and so forth and so on.
	And so the purpose of this book is to number one in the first chapter, tell the American people this is what it is.
	You may not want to believe it, you may want to turn your head, you may want to think this is a fad, you may want to think somebody else is going to fix this.
	Ain't gonna happen.
	It's here, it's in our face, and it's now.
	And Marx is a very important thing.
	Let me let me stop you here for one second.
	Because I know the left.
	I've been doing this for 33 years on radio, 25 years, as you know, on Fox, and we've been best friends for for decades now.
	And I know just the name American Marxism is gonna make liberal heads explode.
	Media, media mob people's heads explose.
	And you very, very wisely, in the opening chapter, um, it's here is is what you call the chapter.
	How many of these leftists, Marxists, authoritarianists, uh we're watching authoritarianism, they use other names.
	They like to call themselves new Green Deal Democrats or Democratic Socialists.
	Because they know Americans instinctively are hostile to Marxism.
	You know, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the squad, whatever environmental justice, etc., etc.
	This is important because names and definitions matter here.
	It's absolutely true.
	And one of the things I you know, you've said, I've said, but what I make in the point of the book is we've got to stop using their language, stop using their narrative, stop being intimidated.
	What do you mean?
	I'm a Marxist.
	Look, these ideas that they have, they didn't just come up with them.
	Constant class warfare, you hear it from Biden, uh constant race warfare, all this oppressor oppressed, bourgeois versus uh proletariat, one group against the other.
	This is intentional.
	This is Marx.
	The dehumanizing of the individual, they never talk about individualism, they talk about communalism.
	They talk about the government.
	They talk about this program, that program, these people.
	Uh, they don't treat us as individual human beings.
	And you can see it in their policies, whether it is slaughter every weekend in the streets of this country, uh, whether it's open borders with uh what's happening on the southern border, both of the people coming in or the people who live there, they don't give a damn about individual human beings.
	They are pushing a group agenda, they are pushing a transitional agenda.
	That is exactly what they're doing.
	You have a president of the United States, cognitive or not, who you're signing executive orders left and right, uh, like he is an autocrat in one of these regimes, uh whether it's the private sector, destroying kids uh girls' sports, uh, this this critical race theory and so forth.
	He doesn't have a mandate for any of this.
	It's fifty-fifty in the Senate.
	Pelosi has a four-vote lead in the House.
	Uh he he, in my view, very serious uh questions raised about this election.
	But all that aside, they have temporary power, and they're trying to make it permanent.
	Whether it's an attack on our constitutional system, on the Supreme Court, on our legislative process, packing the court, packing the Senate, destroying our voting system, borders wide open to change the demographics.
	Their foot is down on the pedal.
	It's not any longer that AOC runs the Democrat Party.
	The Democrat Party has embraced this alien ideology that's been imported into this country, and chapter after chapter, I explain how this happened, I explain who is behind it, I use their writings to prove it.
	So when I am ultimately inevitably attacked by the left-wing surrogates and hacks for these movements, I'll say, I'm quoting this, I'm quoting this, I'm quoting this.
	In other words, the book is bulletproof.
	The book is bulletproof.
	You know, I say it a little bit differently than you, but I like the way you do say it.
	Um I've I've talked about now for many years.
	I talked a lot about it before the election, how we have institutional institutions, major Institutions in America failing we the people.
	And by that I mean the media mob, the big tech mob, the teachers' unions and and other unions that is the their own mob.
	They're all beholden.
	Uh the Democratic Party and its groupthink, it's propaganda, indoctrination, universities, corporations, you name it, and and you go into this in great specificity at the start of the book, and I thought you explained it extraordinarily well.
	Well, yeah, and you know, let's take let's take a little piece of this, because a lot of this is overwhelming.
	And what I do in the book, and you note this, Sean, too, is I I cut it up like salami.
	I take one piece at a time and I deal with it.
	One piece at a time, and I deal with it.
	So we're not overwhelmed, so it's not like, oh my God, what do we do?
	So we understand it analytically, we understand it historically, we understand it factually and contemporarily, and then we do something about it in the last chapter, which we can get to later.
	But for instance, the National Education Association, they don't give a damn about kids.
	You saw that during the virus, you see that today.
	The NEA, which Landmark Legal Foundation and I and the new president there, Pete Hutcheson, who's been there 30, 40 years.
	We have fought this organization tooth and L. This is nothing more than a radical left-wing appendage of the Democrat Party.
	Over 90% of their support goes to Democrats.
	Why do you think they have what they call in service day on election day?
	There's three million of them.
	70% of them are left wing Democrats.
	They man the polling systems and so forth.
	This is one of the things we have to address, and I do in the end of the book.
	Where does this critical race theory come from?
	Don't listen to people on MSNBC.
	These are morons, these are these are advocates, these are pathetic people who are just there to push an agenda.
	There is a place this comes from.
	There is an individual it comes from.
	He wrote about it.
	And so I go and I look.
	Remember what Patton said.
	He defeats Rommel in North Africa.
	It's a massive tank battle.
	And he and he and he says, Rommel, I read your book.
	Well, guess what?
	I read their book, Sean.
	I read their books.
	They're overwhelming.
	They're out there, they're public, they're in our schools, they're in our universities and so forth.
	So it's very important to understand.
	Let's take climate change briefly.
	What's this climate change stuff?
	How do you go from global cooling to global warming to climate change?
	They're trying to come up with new words, new nomenclature to disguise what?
	An attack on capitalism, an attack on growth, an attack on the use of material uh goods.
	They an attack on creating wealth.
	It is a war on the old industrial revolution that created the massive middle class that we have today.
	That's what it is.
	Now, how do we know that?
	Because they've written about it.
	You know, history didn't begin with CNN and MSNBC.
	History didn't begin with AOC and Talib and Omar.
	Look at it, and it's not even ancient history.
	Quick break.
	We'll come back more with the great one.
	Uh Mark Levin is with us.
	His brand new book out today.
	It's called American Marxism.
	It's in bookstores around the country, Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores everywhere.
	More with Mark on the other side as we continue our deep dive.
	And we'll get to your calls also coming up.
	Final hour free for all straight ahead.
	All right, the great one I call him, Mark Levin with us, his brand new book out today.
	I think it's the best book he's written, and he's written great ones.
	It's called American Marxism.
	It's in bookstores everywhere, Amazon.com, Hannity.com.
	You also go into an in-depth explanation of cancel culture without even really meaning to do so.
	For example, you go deeper when you talk about Marxism and its history and how it doesn't tolerate competition of ideas or political parties and the Democratic Party and these other institutions as I describe them, you know, having a their lockstep together, indoctrination, propaganda, et cetera.
	And then anybody with any opposing voice, you know, the efforts, the money, I mean, over the many, many years.
	We've lived with cancel culture and radio.
	I've lived with it 33 years.
	Anybody in talk radio has live with it their entire career.
	Anybody at Fox has lived with it, you know, 25 years.
	And they don't tolerate, they can't even stand the idea that there are alternative voices and there are all of these pressure points to silence opposition voices.
	Because they're fanatics.
	They're revolutionaries.
	They think they are.
	History is to be destroyed.
	That's what Marx said.
	That's why they're pulling down monuments.
	That's why they're changing names.
	That's why they're changing movies and cartoons.
	That is why uh they put out a thousand different names for a thousand different things, and you better adhere to it, or you're gonna be canceled.
	This is Marx.
	Marx isn't interested in competition of ideas.
	He's not interested in free speech, and neither are the American Marxists.
	They are self-righteous, they demand conformity and uniformity, they impose their will.
	Um, and so if you disagree with them, you must be destroyed.
	So while we're operating in one sphere, which is the first amendment, free speech, and so forth, they're operating in another.
	Forget about history, they say.
	Who cares about the First Amendment unless we're expressing it?
	Who cares about protest unless we're protesting?
	Everybody else has to be crushed.
	And as a matter of fact, you have to crush the opposition party.
	That's what HR1 and S1's about.
	You have to control the courts.
	That's what the packing of the courts and right now the intimidating and a threatening of the courts is all about.
	You have to change the population to adhere to your demands.
	That's what the open borders are all about.
	And I explain it piece by piece by piece in the book.
	Take a break, we'll come back.
	Mark's uh brand new book, the great one, Mark Levin.
	It's called American Marxism.
	It's now in bookstores around the country.
	Uh it's also on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, Mark Levin's uh website as well.
	And uh we're gonna go through this slowly, and we're gonna end with a final chapter of the book, which I think offers us a way out.
	It's called hope.
	And we choose liberty, and he'll explain on the other side.
	800 941 Sean is our number.
	And you're listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.
	We'll have more of your favorite guest topics and memorable moments.
	That's all coming up.
	That's all coming up.
	You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.
	We are on the Sean Hannity Show, a place where free speech and the First Amendment are still alive and well.
	Get your dose of independence and liberty every weekday, right here with Sean.
	All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
	Mark Levin, the great one, is with us.
	His brand new book is out today.
	His uh first interview on radio is with us.
	His first interview on TV was with us, a great show on Friday night that we had with Mark.
	American Marxism, now in bookstores everywhere, Amazon.com, Hannity.com.
	You might want to get your first run edition now while you can.
	Um Mark, I I want to talk about this.
	You you talk about breeding mobs in in chapter two, and it's a great great chapter.
	It really captivated my attention in so many different ways.
	Here's my question.
	These arguments have been used many, many times in the past that the government is going to take away all your fear, all your worries, and we're gonna put all our money in a big pot, and we're gonna and and everybody is gonna live equally, and and government will guarantee it.
	But yet there are some that fall for that appeal.
	Even even with the the history of socialism, Marxism, and its failure whenever it's been attempted.
	They still buy the lie.
	Why?
	Well, I try to describe two aspects of this.
	First of all, the the activists and the leaders and the followers.
	In some ways they're two different things.
	But I will say this.
	I saw that same survey, and it's enormously troubling.
	That tells you what's going on in our schools and universities, and we can't ignore this anymore.
	It tells you why Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, the Democrat Party, went free college education.
	These are indoctrination mills.
	It tells you why they never ever regulate colleges and universities, tuition levels ever cut their budgets where they do it to other entities.
	The only two they never do it to are colleges, universities, and trial lawyers, because they're in their back pocket.
	Uh to answer your question, this Marx tapped into something that was actually quite brilliant.
	People want to belong and they want to believe.
	So when we talk About things like individual liberty and free markets.
	For some people, this is an abstraction.
	But when we talk about we as a race, or we as a as a uh group of elderly people, or we as a group of young people, or whatever you whatever you, you know, the formulation is people go, yeah, yeah, that's kind of right.
	Those guys over there are the enemy, they're the oppressor.
	We over here, we're the victims, yes.
	We need to do something about this.
	But here's what people need to understand.
	Marx talked about the rising up of the proletariat.
	What's the proletariat?
	The working people.
	We don't have that in America.
	The people are not rising up.
	The middle class is not rising up.
	These people are bastardizing our constitution and using other aspects of our system to try and impose their will on us.
	And that's typical of Marxism.
	In Cuba right now, where the people are trying to rise up.
	The people there didn't rise up in 1959 and want Castro and Communism.
	When you look at the Chinese, the communist Chinese Revolution, that was a revolution also of guerrillas coming out of the mountains and so forth, led by Mao.
	That wasn't a mass uprising.
	Lenin's uprising was about 20, 25% of the population.
	This is how they operate.
	They take over the instrumentalities of society, media, uh, the cultural aspects of society, the universities.
	Most of these guys were uh college graduates or teachers.
	Mao was a teacher, Lenin was a lawyer, Castro was a lawyer, and you could go down the list.
	These aren't working people rising up to overthrow.
	Because in America, why do you think they're gonna hate the phrase in the media of American Marxism?
	Because I'm calling them what they are.
	These ideas of spreading the wealth and class warfare and everything, they didn't come out of the brain of Chuck Todd.
	He's just too damn stupid.
	They didn't come out of the minds of all these people, and I tell you where it comes from.
	Now they answer your question.
	If we don't fix what's going on in our colleges and universities, it could become the majority.
	Because you cannot survive as a society when you are brainwashing your children and grandchildren or they are to hate this country.
	And a lot of younger people hate this country.
	And so you may send your kid to college or your grandkid to college, and they come out, and at Thanksgiving you're talking to them, they're totally different people.
	Because they're not teaching.
	They are brainwashing, they are indoctrinating, they are pounding repetition and so forth.
	And I explained how that started in the early 1900s with John Dewey.
	I won't I won't get into it here.
	I will I do want to emphasize something you said, Sean.
	It is simply not possible, even in a three-hour radio show, even in one week of radio shows, to walk you through this book.
	And my goal is I'm no Thomas Pain, and this isn't the American crisis, which was 47 pages long.
	People quote the first and two paragraphs.
	It was 47 pages long.
	But 10% of the population of the colonies of the United States at the time, the two, two and a half million people, 200,000 people read it.
	If you'll read this book, if you will pass it on to your kids and grandkids, if you will provide copies, or take the one that you've read to colleagues and neighbors and so forth.
	This country is worth fighting for.
	This is more daunting and more complex than anything we've done in modern history, because we're not fighting a foreign enemy of which there are plenty.
	We are fighting here domestically, these institutions that they have poisoned.
	And so it becomes very, very complicated.
	And we have to start with speaking the truth and not to be intimidated.
	We need to be proud of who we are, proud of our country.
	We need to embrace all people in this country.
	And one of the things I say in the first chapter, Sean, is this.
	Let us put our small differences aside, our disputes aside.
	Whether you're a moderate democrat or a libertarian or whatever you are, if you love this country, it's time to galvanize and time to rally.
	We have a common enemy that wants to destroy this country.
	It is the Americanization of Marxism, whether it's critical race theory, whether it is so-called climate change, whether it is open borders, whether it is the uh the attack on uh binary sexuality and so forth, it's even more than that.
	We have got to muster the resolve to confront this, and we're not going to be able to do it if we're picking scabs with each other.
	Mark Levin is with us, just released his his latest book today.
	It's in bookstores everywhere.
	It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores all over the country.
	All right.
	Let me just explain to people this, and I want to put some emphasis on this.
	Like, like the great constitutional lawyer, and for those that may not know, Mark was the chief of staff for Ed Meese, the attorney general under President Ronald Reagan.
	This is not your first rodeo.
	It's a seven-chapter book.
	I may be your longest book.
	It is.
	I took my time reading this book, and I did it on purpose because I wanted to learn a lot, and I did learn a lot.
	You comprehensively dissect every issue that we're now currently facing as a country.
	And all of that needs the thorough examination.
	And like a great attorney, you lay out the case.
	Chapter 7, your last chapter, which you told me is over 10,000 pages, I think is the words.
	I'm sorry, 10,000 words, is the best chapter in the book.
	And it's called We Choose Liberty.
	So you lay out the case of what we're facing, and then you give people a roadmap and a call to action.
	And if we rally to the defense of the cause of liberty and natural rights, inalienable rights, and that each of us in our own way.
	I I say we all need to be spokes in a wheel.
	We'll save this great republic.
	I want you to go into that chapter.
	I don't want to run out of time without giving you the question.
	I think uh in the last chapter, what I say is it's important to know our enemy.
	They're not our adversaries, they're not political, they're the enemy.
	Any military leader will tell you that, any great philosopher will tell you that.
	You've got to know who your enemy is, their weaknesses and their strengths.
	And so in this chapter, first I explain why we should be patriotic.
	We should revere our country, our founding, and so forth, and then I get to this.
	Here are some of the important strategies we must use.
	And I lay out scores of them, but I also want people to be thinking about them themselves.
	I say, first of all, we ought to steal from the left.
	We ought to steal from the left.
	They've been doing this a very, very long time.
	I'm not talking about looting and arson and violence.
	That's them.
	For instance, boycotts, divestment sanctions, the BDS movement, which the anti-Semites all over the world, including in this country, have used against the state of Israel.
	Boycotts involve withdrawing support for corporate media, big tech, other corporations, Hollywood, sporting and cultural and academic institutions, engage and promoting that engage in promoting American Marxism.
	Divestment campaign, pressure banks, corporations, local and state governments, religious institutions, pension funds, etc.
	to withdraw investments and support for these various Marxist movements.
	One of the things, Sean, we need to realize is we have the numbers and we have the resources.
	How the hell do people think all these things are funded?
	They're funded by us.
	And sanction campaigns, pressure local and state governments to end taxpayer subsidies and other forms of support for institutions with ties to various Marxist movements.
	So that's sort of an overarching view.
	Um American Marxists are litigious.
	They file barrages of lawsuits, they form shop, they file endless administrative cases, freedom of information cases.
	We have scores and scores of legal groups in this country who exist for this purpose.
	It's time that we use them.
	We should use the state FOIA laws, local FOIA laws.
	I'll give a specific example.
	If you live in a particular school district and they're going nuts like so many are I happen to live in Loudoun County, which is ground zero.
	Well, you should file FOIA comp uh uh applications for the teachers' contracts for all information related to the budgets, for all the the books that are being used.
	I came up with an idea about five weeks ago that's been repeated on our on our mothership, the Fox News channel by a number of hosts, Sean, and it's important.
	Uh in the American thinker, they talked about maybe teachers should wear cameras like cops do.
	And I said, Well, I have a better idea.
	Let's put cameras in every classroom.
	And that's how we found out that they were teaching critical race theory during the virus because they were on the internet.
	Okay, so we should push for things.
	Well, the union won't like it.
	The union is at war with us, and we need to be at war with the union.
	As an example, the union has multiple aspects to it, and they filed different parts of it with the Internal Revenue Service.
	Well, file complaints against the union.
	It is nothing but a political operation, an appendage of the Democrat Party, and we are subsidizing it.
	And I've done this before myself.
	What else?
	Cloward and Pivot.
	There are opportunities for us to overwhelm the system.
	Let me give you another example.
	There are shareholder meetings with These corporations.
	Why is it that only leftists show up at these shareholder meetings and make demands?
	It's time for us in Moss to show up at shareholder meetings, buy a couple shares, and make demands of them.
	I'm just doing a few of these off the top of my head, Sean.
	I hope I hope you understand.
	No, this is important.
	Now let's look at education.
	Let's look at colleges and universities.
	We have no idea how faculty are hired.
	We have no idea how they get tenure.
	We have no idea how they're rated.
	We don't have a damn idea what they're teaching.
	We own these damn colleges.
	They're heavily subsidized through our state taxes, federal grants, and our kids' tuition.
	Well, again, use FOIA, use litigation.
	There are groups, and we need to find out one of the most prominent things I propose here, because I look at the communist movement and I look at the Black Lives Matter movement and the other.
	We need to create community committees.
	Patriotic community committees in every county in the country.
	We need to network.
	We need to communicate with each other.
	We need to be able to use the internet and social media.
	And what would these community committees do?
	Push for liberty, fight the tyranny, whether it's schools, whether it's corporations in those areas, uh, whether it's the teachers' unions, whether it is a college campus.
	We need to share tactics, share ideas.
	We are not organized.
	We need to be organized.
	And among your community, there are lawyers who can help you.
	But you don't have to be a lawyer.
	I give you links in this book on how to file FOIA complaints, on how to file IRS complaints, on how to bring cases.
	And I go through this one area after another.
	Quick break.
	We'll come back more with the great one.
	Mark Levin is with us releasing his brand new book in bookstores today, American Marxism, and it's on Hannity.com, Mark Levin Show.com, uh, Amazon.com, bookstores everywhere, American Marxism.
	The left is going to hate this book, but you're going to love it.
	The left is going to hate this book, but you're going to love it.
	All right, we continue.
	The great one is with us, Mark Levin.
	He's releasing his new book today.
	It's called American Marxism, destined to be another number one New York Times best selling uh book.
	Mark, I think this is your finest book, and I'm not saying that because we are best friends.
	I'm saying it because I mean it.
	And this last chapter chapter of We Choose Liberty, and there's still time to turn the tide, but it's gonna take everybody as you just described and more.
	And it's also going to take election reform, and it's gonna be informing your friends and your family and your neighbors and getting out to vote.
	Uh, great one, great work.
	I know how you write books.
	I've been in your house as you write them.
	I've never seen anything like it in my life.
	You get entire rooms of homes with of his house, literally with stacks of paper and research.
	And um uh you spend a lot of time doing this, and it's uh it shows in this book.
	Congratulations, sir.
	I'm very grateful to you.
	You're tremendous patriot and your audience.
	We are red-blooded Americans.
	Don't let them turn us against each other.
	Listen, you know you always talk about your Levinites?
	Yes.
	We need Hannity supporters, Levinites.
	We need everybody.
	Amen.
	We're all in the same boat here.
	We're all on the same team here.
	We need every spoke in the wheel to make this thing turn.
	And we can turn the tide.
	And this republic, too many people have fought, bled, and died to give us this liberty and freedom, then for us to just surrender and give it up.
	Great one, thank you.
	Great job.
	American Marxism, thank you.
	Uh 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Quick break, right back.
	You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.
	Don't forget, catch the Sean Hannity Show weekdays right here on this station, and stay tuned for more right after the latest news.
	All right, news round up information overload hour.
	We'll get to your calls uh throughout this uh hour.
	800 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
	Now we broke a story this week on this program and on Hannity about the U.S. Olympic Committee and their redesign as it relates to the stars and stripes.
	And you know, and to the credit of the U.S. Olympic Paralympic Committee, uh, you know, and the U.S. Olympians And Paralympian associations, and they they were asking everyone to fill out an online survey.
	One of the items on the survey is a proposed change to the Stars and Stripes that is used by the US OPC materials.
	And we got a hold of this survey, and then we reached out to them.
	And I don't believe we need any changes to our flag.
	We have one flag.
	And I, you know, and then they responded and they got back to us, and they said that they are in the early stages.
	These are the design brainstorming stages, a variety of concepts that they're sharing with stakeholders.
	Quote, the exact quote was we're in the very early stages of potentially exploring new brand executions for the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
	And it's common practice and the creative development to share a variety of concepts with stakeholders for reaction and feedback that will then be used to determine the next steps.
	What was sent to you is just one of uh dozens of ideas shared in this brainstorming and surveying process.
	Now, my argument is very simple.
	You know, if you're associated in any way with our Olympics and Paralympics, we already have a flag.
	It's called the United States of America, the Stars and Stripes.
	That should be the only flag.
	You don't need to be wasting your money and designing and brainstorming on a new flag and a different flag.
	Because they had different printouts of athletes with a different flag, and my message is stop wasting your time and money.
	Um it's an awful idea.
	We have the stars and stripes.
	That's the flag that represents our country, one nation under God and divisible, and that should be used for the Olympics and Paralympics and any associated organizations of this.
	And all these great Olympians that make us so proud represent the United States.
	And it's the United States of America, and we already have a flag.
	It's not not that hard.
	Then they put out a statement after I broke the story that it was just one of many concepts.
	We want to be clear, we love our country, we respect the American flag.
	We do not have any intention not to mention authority to change our nation's, our country's flag, but that's not the point.
	You're associated with the Olympics at the highest level.
	You already have the flag.
	Anyway, this has now made its way into uh Congress, which is getting very interesting.
	And I have a letter in front of me, and it's sound by a number of congressmen, and it's it's it's written to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
	We're concerned about the growing trend of American athletes taking advantage of the international platform afforded by the Olympic Games to perpetuate divisive, hateful anti-American ideology ideologies.
	As you're likely aware, social media comments made by Chelsea Wolfe, who has qualified as an alternate to represent the U.S. in the summer Olympics, recently received widespread attention in one post.
	Uh Wolf claims, quote, my goal is to win the Olympics so I can burn the U.S. flag on the podium.
	In another comment, Wolf implied that President Donald J. Trump should be assassinated.
	Okay.
	So they asked respectfully that if no kind of political demonstration or religious or racial propaganda be permitted in Olympic sites, by the way, that is Rule 50 in the International Olympic Committee's Olympic charter.
	Anyway, one of the uh uh writers of this letter, one of the authors of this letter is with us now, and that's Congressman Matt Rosendale of Montana.
	Uh, like the Congressman I'm his outraged to see is uh sir, welcome to the program.
	Thank you so much for having me on, Sean.
	Let's first talk about the issue that I broke this week and and my team broke this week as it relates to the creative design uh changes to the American flag.
	Uh why would they even waste a second uh even suggesting or proposing anything like that?
	Sean, I I don't know.
	I I think this all goes along with this uh emphasis on trying to promote uh critical race theory, CRT as it's being um described around the nation to uh try to show our country to be this terrible, divisive, systemically racist place where no one can get ahead unless the government is out there protecting them.
	And I I do not accept that premise.
	I refuse to accept that premise.
	I think this is an incredible nation.
	Personally, I raised and lowered the flag for five years when I was in middle school.
	Every single day I went out there, raised the flag, lowered it back down in the afternoon.
	I have an it's an incredible sense of pride.
	I think that it would be nice if we could reflect back upon the US men's hockey team, ice hockey team, in 1980 when we had the miracle on ice and everyone had such a sense of pride and patriotism about our nation and our athletes that were competing at the U.S. Olympics and so that is one of the reasons why I got together with 39 of my colleagues.
	I don't want to put my nose into the Olympics.
	I don't want to tell them how to run their operation there.
	But I did want to remind them that their own rules certainly should govern the way that people conduct themselves and as you stated Rule 50 clearly outlines that no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.
	Let us watch sports.
	Let us watch the best that our country has supported that our country has created and let us watch and cheer them on.
	I I don't think it's any more complicated than that.
	So the question is you know what happened did did you get a response from the Olympic committee?
	No, we have not received a response and we're monitoring uh such an activities as what you just described and and and watching very closely to see is it going to require a more of a uh more action uh my next action is to start looking at what kind of benefit do they receive from any kind of tax exemption any kind of support from from the uh the code that we have put in place that
	these athletes are taking advantage of not to mention the franchise if you will of the United States of America to go out there and compete before they go and use that to promote themselves.
	You know, I find this, you know, what happened to the idea?
	I don't know if you noticed the story that came out.
	I mean, it's, you know, the wokeness of America here.
	But now the report that the upcoming NFL season is going to feature, quote, two national anthems and other social justice messaging here.
	I just thought that, you know, I really believed in that Martin Luther King's dream of a colorblind society.
	the idea that we're one nation under God and indivisible and that we have one flag and one national anthem uh but apparently I I I guess the NFL is is going full on woke uh to me I I'm I'm listening and watching and we see sports ratings on television going down by dramatic numbers.
	I mean when you look at the NBA finals it was down thirty three percent uh when you look at major league baseball in the all-star game it was the lowest number in the history of the sport um it's happening the football numbers have been down ever since Kaepernick got on the scene and started with taking a knee and other people staying in the locker room etc etc.
	why don't we keep politics out of sports because you have a unifying moment where people have a shared passion and that is number one the sport number two their home team i mean i don't know if you've had this experience congressman i have had it many times where you know somebody hits a home run you're high-fiving strangers somebody you know your home team gets a touchdown you're high-fiving strangers you're sharing beer and popcorn talking to people you don't know what their politics are why are we bringing politics into sports people
	want to get away from from the the stress of everyday life that's exactly why they brought watch sports they want the the distraction they just want to go in there and watch a healthy competition.
	You know one of the one of the uh venues that I've seen that is starting to pick back Up on support and attendance, though, is NASCAR.
	And you know they have a a prayer and the national anthem at the beginning of every one of those races, Sean, and everybody stands up, they remove their hats, and they still celebrate patriotism and and God and country at a NASCAR race.
	Interesting how their their attendance is picking up.
	Yeah, I mean, there and I I don't know if you watch the NHL Stanley Cup series, but the New York Islanders fans, they just took over the singing of the anthem.
	The same thing happened in Tampa Bay with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
	The same thing happened in a Walmart.
	I did.
	I saw that.
	And people want to celebrate the greatness of our country.
	We don't want to remove or erase our history.
	We understand that you have to reflect upon it in order to continue to make the great strides that we have.
	As you said, Martin Luther King.
	Let's judge people by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin.
	And we have made tremendous strides, and people are doing it.
	And and so let's continue to celebrate the greatness of our country.
	We have lifted more people around the globe out of poverty and oppression than any country on earth and have asked for nothing in return.
	And let's celebrate it.
	You know, I can't say it any better.
	And, yeah, we made a lot of progress, thank God.
	And we have a lot more progress to make, but we're making that too.
	And and I think most of I don't believe most Americans are racist.
	I believe most Americans are good people.
	And and I think most Americans view people that are racist racist as ignorant.
	And this constant, you know, refrain of the Democrats, Jim Crow 2.0, etc.
	Joe Biden state has far more restrictive voting laws than does the state of Georgia.
	And now we empower the you know, we weaponize the DOJ to go after Georgia, but not after Joe's state of Delaware, where he never lifted a finger to make voting more accessible for the citizens in in Delaware.
	I mean it's all.
	That's exactly it.
	Let's make voting easy and cheating hard.
	Well said.
	Anyway, Congressman, appreciate you doing this.
	Please update us when you hear back from them if you don't mind.
	I will do so.
	Listen, thank you so much, and uh good luck and and God speed to you.
	I appreciate it.
	That's uh Congressman Matt Rosendale from the great state of Montana.
	You know, I asked my crew, shouldn't we just go to all go to Montana?
	We'll get a big ranch, you know, with a Buffalo Rome, and and just do our shows from out there and just get off the grid in every other way.
	Sounds so appealing to me lately.
	I don't know why.
	I'm losing my mind.
	Uh I'm beginning to hate, you know, congested areas more and more these days.
	Just making sure you can get three hours a day wherever you are.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show now on six hundred and fifty stations.
	Sean Hannity.
	Alright, to our busy phones we go.
	We'll say hi to Uh Nette is in North Carolina on the Sean Hannity show.
	Annette, hi, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Oh, thank you very much for having me on, Sean.
	And I listen to you every day.
	You're a great teacher.
	You re you do a lot of repetition, which helps me to take my notes.
	You know, I I get criticized sometimes for that, but there's a method to my madness.
	Because if you say something once what's that?
	Yeah, I want to tell you something.
	I want to challenge you to do more repetition on fans singing the national anthem.
	Do that all the time.
	Find a place in your radio station.
	You got three hours every day, somewhere.
	Somewhere in there.
	Because no talking is as much as what that meant to me when I heard it.
	I wept.
	How do you sing to the top of your lungs and weep at the same time when you're singing the national anthem?
	And I know every one of them were crying their eyes out when they were singing that song.
	So I want to ask you, Sean, if you would consider playing not just any national anthem, but our national anthem with the fans doing the singing from beginning to the end.
	even if you have to take out your country song in the very beginning and put that in its place.
	You know, look, I tell you what I do want to do, and I'm thinking through this as you are, and I appreciate your input.
	I really do, because I love it.
	Every time I would watch first it was the Islanders, then it was the Tampa Bay Lightning.
	I'd I'd love this to happen in every sport.
	I'd love the crowd to take over the singing.
	You know, you can get somebody to start it, and then somebody to, you know, to finish it.
	But it just is, you know what?
	And if the social justice warriors in sports, they want to hide in the locker room.
	They want to take their go ahead.
	Let the people now have their say.
	Because they're ruining professional sports by adding politics to it.
	And and I know for me, it's alienating me.
	It's making me tune out.
	I'm not boycotting.
	I'm just saying I am it makes me less interested.
	I just get disgusted and I turn it off.
	Um, I didn't turn off the uh Stanley Cup playoffs this year at all.
	I enjoyed every game.
	Great games this year.
	Anyway, great idea, Nat.
	Quick break, right back.
	Your calls, final half hour straight ahead.
	You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity show, and stay tuned.
	memorable moments, interesting guests, and a lot of fun coming up next.
	More of the best of the Sean Hannity show coming up.
	Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to take a second to hear the immortal Bob Grant's thoughts about the world today.
	Hey, uh, ladies and gentlemen is sick, and it's getting sicker.
	Now back to the Sean Hannity show.
	Hey, it lets be heard.
	Uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, anyway, 800 941 Sean.
	You want to be a part of the program?
	Well, our buddy Joe Pag struck again.
	I heard this this morning, and it just cracked me up.
	He did a parody on, you know, the the the hippie song.
	What was it?
	Peter Paul and Mary.
	They sang one version.
	There's another version, I forget by who else, and leaving on a jet plane, you know, making fun of the Democrats in the Texas State Legislature that left on a jet plane ahead to DC, and they're now making a big showing of even washing their clothes, the great sacrifices they're making.
	Uh, meanwhile, when they get back to Texas, yeah, state law requires that law enforcement pick them up and take them directly to work where they're supposed to be.
	Anyway, Joe Paggs leaving left on a jet plane.
	Music
	All their bags are packed, they're ready to go.
	Had a job to do, they were a no-show.
	Instead, they packed some beer and grabbed the plane.
	The job is simple, you simply vote.
	Not about your political blood.
	Have you voice heard to leave is just insane.
	So kiss my ass you cat words took off to for the words.
	You're so wokewood, is it that you told on a jet plane?
	Locked up when they come back again.
	Oh, lefties, why'd you go?
	There's so many times you've let us down, pushing socialism round the town.
	I tell you now, we're on to your sick game.
	You ran away from your sworn task, On that plane you were having a blast Funny thing you were into wearing masks.
	So kiss my ass, you losers.
	George's power of users.
	I dare you run to DC and high.
	You all last on a jet play.
	We'll love when you come back again.
	Oh, babe, you're going to jail.
	That was one of the best ever.
	Anyway, our friend Joe's Paggs is uh with us.
	Uh the first was written and sung first by John Denver.
	John Denver, I mean, he got a bad rap, but I mean, he wrote some really cool songs and very thoughtful songs.
	I don't know why.
	Um, and that was a tragedy.
	He had a plane crash and lost his life.
	Uh tags, how are you?
	All your or your friends down in Texas, they split on you.
	They took off.
	All of my friends, Sean.
	All of these people are out of their minds, man.
	I actually try to get a hold of the guy, uh, Talerico, this guy, James Calarico that was on with Pete Heggseth the other day.
	He won't come on my show.
	Uh I don't know what these people are trying to do, but when they got on the plane and left, I mean they're living in the lap of luxury, and that today, I think you probably noticed they're calling themselves victims.
	It's all very strange, man.
	Yeah, the victims, why?
	Because they have to do their own laundry, they didn't pack enough to stay for a long enough period of time, not knowing, you know, how does state legislators not know what the law is?
	I had Governor Abbott on TV this week, and I said, Okay, so what's the story when they come back to Texas, they get arrested.
	So, well, not really arrested, they get they get picked up by police, and then they they get free transportation uh to do their job, and they're brought into the the state capitol, and um they lock the doors behind them, and that means they'll get the quorum and the vote's gonna happen.
	So there's nothing that it could really do under Texas law.
	Um, one of the many, many other reasons I like Texas so much better than any other liberal state like New York or California or any socialist utopia that we have around the country.
	I couldn't agree more.
	What blows my mind is they're getting their 211 dollars a day per DM.
	They're still getting paid, and these people they know what the end game is gonna be.
	But but here's the Robin.
	I know that you've talked about this.
	They're in Washington trying to get this stupid bill passed, and they're against the filibuster as they physically, Sean, are filibustering.
	They're filibustering Texas right now, trying to end the filibuster.
	Am I am I losing my mind here?
	Yeah, you're losing your mind because it doesn't make any sense.
	Why would things like this make any sense?
	You know, it's amazing.
	So we I let me bring people inside our world a little bit of talk radio, and once a year we often get together at Michael Harrison's talkers convention, which I try never to miss.
	And and we actually like to kick it off with the Sean Hannity show breakfast as we as the it's a great seminar for industry people.
	It's a very small circle of us, and everybody thinks that you know, well, if you're in talk radio, you must hate the other person.
	Donald Trump used to think, well, you know, you always say Russia's babe Ruth and Russian, and I'm like, don't you want to beat him?
	I'm like, no.
	I said, I want him to be successful because we all benefit the more successful he is, right?
	Um, and we'll never be able to replace this guy.
	I would say 98% at least of people in radio, I just love.
	I mean, we we have a we're we're all blessed to do this, and people have the perception that we don't like each other.
	You know, people like you and Lars Larson, you know, have huge, huge, you know, reach and regional followings that are massive, and the great one Mark Levin.
	Um, and um, you know, Dan Bongino's now on.
	We like Dana Lash.
	Um, all these people in radio I'm friends with.
	You know, you and I have been friends for how many years to um together?
	You know, we're friends over at Salem, like Mike Gallagher and and Dennis Prager, and I'm gonna forget names here, but you know, there's so many good people in radio.
	Well, I think that what people don't realize is that we're not really competing at all.
	In fact, that you always explain it as that we're all spokes on a wheel.
	And for your audience, and you won't talk about this, so I will.
	Um, many, many years ago, I was doing way too much radio every day, seven hours a day.
	And I was talking about this is a great story.
	Right, right.
	I was I was talking to you like an AL instant messenger or something.
	I was fixing my car at the time.
	And I was like, man, I'm working all these hours and do all this stuff.
	And you say, call me right now.
	So what are you talking about?
	I mean, I had never talked to you on the phone.
	We've met, and and we we've been friends.
	We actually met in uh, I think it was 2002.
	So we've known each other almost 20 years.
	And um and you said, call me, and I did, and I said, Well, what's going on?
	You said, What's the matter?
	You said some profanity, and then you said, What's the matter with you?
	Stop it.
	You're gonna kill yourself.
	We need your voice, we need you strong.
	What are you doing seven hours a day?
	There's something wrong with you.
	And and that was such great advice because you could have said, Hey, screw this guy, let him do seven hours a day.
	This way I don't have to worry about him.
	You never worried about me at all.
	You actually were a guy who wanted me to succeed and wanted me to prosper because you knew that it would be better for the audience out there if we had more voices giving more information.
	And you I listen, at that moment, I looked at my wife and I said, This guy is a diamond.
	This guy is unbelievable.
	I never expected to get that from you.
	And from that, and I wasn't being critical.
	I admire your work ethic.
	I really did, but I also know how hard it is to do this job right.
	And it is impossible.
	It is physically impossible.
	It's mentally exhausting enough doing three or four hour shifts, which most radio hosts do.
	Right.
	It is, but that's the max.
	I and and believe me, to do what I do every day and what you do every day, I'm I'm I am like a marine.
	I get up, I work out an hour and a half, and then I study, study, study.
	That's all I do.
	And then I do my radio show, and I might get some chicken broth bullion or whatever I'm drinking, or or have a hamburger or something, whatever.
	And then I get right back into it, and I'm writing the monologue for the night, and that takes a lot of time.
	And then I I try to get to sleep as early as possible, which is usually like 3 a.m. because I stay up.
	And I just knew that there was a better business model also out there for you, and you were too talented not to not to look at it a little differently, and I just didn't want you to get burnt out.
	Well, I think your quote was you're doing seven hours of crappy radio right now.
	Why don't you do that?
	I did not say no, I did not say that.
	No way.
	No, I said you can't do your best work if you're focused on seven hours a day.
	Exactly right.
	And and you know something, and your show has has been a massive hit around the country.
	Like we love Mark Simona, New York.
	Mark Simone is the most we my old station in New York, we call it the ex-wife station.
	Um, I loved everybody, even the people that I that hated my guts, like Ron Coolby.
	I liked Ron Kuby.
	You know, right.
	We had great people, Steve Malsberg, Curtis Lee was running for mayor.
	There's a great group of people there.
	Um and there was always little petty infighting stuff, but nothing that meant anything to me.
	And but they're great groups of people, and I don't look at my success based on someone else's failure.
	I I think a rising tide lifts all boats.
	And and that's why you're the success you are, because had you looked at it that way, you could have told me, you know, screw you, I'm not gonna talk to you.
	But what you actually said was this great radio.
	Well, you you could have, but you didn't.
	And at the end of the day, you're right.
	Uh I would not have the success I have now had it not been for those few moments of advice from you, and I really mean that.
	Well, I I still think you have a lot more growth in you, to be very blunt.
	I'm fine, brother.
	You know, I know that there's there's something about this, I can't explain it.
	Um Howard Stern, I think did a really good job of showing it in the movie Private Parts.
	I don't know if you can relate to the movie as much as I do.
	I can't, you know, like early in your career when you try to sound like a radio guy because you you have in your mind's in your mind what a radio guy should sound like.
	All right, now let's check of WWW weather, hazy hot, humid, cancel late afternoon thunderstorms.
	Right now it's 78 degrees in the greatest city in the world, New York City on WWW W. I mean, it's ridiculous.
	And I was like that, you know, when I started, I was stupid.
	I mean, but we didn't know what to do.
	I mean, you have this isn't there's no manual.
	You gotta learn as you go, man.
	But the the hardest part of what we do, and I hope people can relate to this, is sounding like ourselves on the radio.
	That's the hardest thing to do because you're right, for the first period of time, and Howard Stern did show it very well.
	We're trying to sound like what we think radio people sound like.
	Once we find our own voices, we're good.
	We all do.
	You know, when I would travel the country and I drove a lot more than I do now.
	Um, and I go on these long drives, I would always find local radio stations.
	And then you'd hear that one host that is begging, like Alec Baldwin, the tape we play of him, which is you know, him auditioning story.
	Why are you gonna do my calling?
	Yeah, hello, call uh yeah, you know what?
	Let me I think this is the greatest moment of radio.
	I gotta play it again.
	If you've never heard this, please you've got you've gotta hear this.
	This is now Alec Baldwin first tried an attempt at radio on the flagship of me and Mark Levin.
	Right.
	We both called in at the same time, and he walked out of the studio, he left in the middle of his tryout.
	He quit.
	Oh bad.
	And then so unbeknownst to us, he goes to Philly, and my affiliate in Philadelphia's WPHT.
	And and this this we are did not edit this.
	This is Alec Baldwin begging for phone calls.
	Um we come back.
	Uh uh Oh, we got some time.
	Okay.
	Well, we're gonna uh when can we take some calls, Ivan?
	Whenever we want to.
	We have calls that are on there now.
	No calls yeah, no calls.
	No calls yet.
	What number do people call to get on the air?
	I mean, do we have that number?
	It's right there.
	Oh, do I have the call number in front of me?
	Oh, I'm so sorry.
	Uh that's interesting.
	Interesting.
	At uh uh 1210 at PHT.
	Of course, any other questions you have, any other comments you have.
	Call us um to the uh what else?
	Uh call us, please at uh 215 1210.
	Now um if you don't call, we're gonna keep reading from the Scientology Manual.
	You might not feel it.
	You might not feel the energy right now.
	You might not feel uh the swell of what's happening here.
	Do we have any calls yet there, Ivan?
	No calls.
	Let's read some more about Scientology.
	Is Sean Hannity a Scientologist?
	Alec Baldwin posing the big questions tonight here.
	Uh we have any calls here yet, Ivan?
	None.
	Boy, it's just incredible.
	Unbelievable.
	Well, and you leave us no choice, listeners.
	And then he had to call his mom.
	He called his mother.
	And put his mother on the house.
	Oh my goodness.
	I mean, you can't.
	I can't breathe.
	I can't breathe.
	It's like it's sort of like remember Russia's parody on the Tom Dashell show.
	It's like the real life Tom Dashell show.
	Um, but you know, it's easy when we do, Sean.
	It's easy.
	I love by the way, it's uh ever probably everybody has a talk show in them, or two, or three.
	But what do you do in year 33?
	Because I'm in my 33rd year.
	Right.
	Oh, man.
	All right, listen, love you.
	This was a great thanks for sharing all this great work with you.
	If you're the best, Joe Pags, 800, 941 Sean.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	Quick break.
	We'll come back.
	We'll continue on the other side of this Friday.
	Uh daily heat-seeking missile of information that you won't get anywhere else.
	Hannity's on now.
	All right, hour two on this Friday's Sean Hannity show, 800 nine-four-one.
	Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
	Um I know we've been talking at length in great specificity about critical race theory.
	We've been we've been playing a lot of the contentious town halls that have been going on around the country over the issue.
	Um, one of the most amazing things to me is, you know, you always think about sports or you think about academics, or you think about uh anything.
	The fundamentals always have to come first.
	New York City, for example, spends on average 27,000 per student, and in some cases, less than six percent of the student body is proficient in math and science.
	There are 13 public schools in the city of Baltimore where where you don't have a single child in any of them that is proficient in math and reading.
	We are betraying our national treasure.
	That would be our children in the process.
	Uh, this is uh a father, happens to be African American, uh, talking about critical race theory uh that is teaching his daughter that her mother is evil.
	Listen.
	Critical race theory is teaching that white people are bad.
	That's not true.
	That would teach my daughter that her mother is evil.
	You already have an education within your staff that has pulled my daughter aside and said, Well, you're a minority.
	So you know better than to engage in certain things.
	When I was brought to the school's attention, nothing happened to the educator.
	Instead, my daughter's brought in, and she was ridiculed.
	So my question is now with critical race theory being brought in.
	What is your criteria to educate the educators?
	And who are you to educate my children or any of our children in life issues?
	That's our job.
	Yes.
	Your job is to teach them massive science.
	Our job is to teach them about life.
	Wow.
	How powerful was that?
	I mean, extraordinarily.
	I'm going to introduce to you Joel Pollock, his friend of the program, has been for many years.
	Uh Leo 2.0 Tyrell in a second, but I want to take you back.
	This is 2012.
	This is this radio program.
	This is Joel Pollock on this radio program discussing critical race theory.
	Listen.
	There's a particular setting in which all of this happens.
	I don't know if you want to give people a little taste of what we're talking about.
	Well, I'll tell you this.
	Derek Bell was the originator of a school of thought called critical race theory.
	And he said that the civil rights laws were bad for black people because it encouraged black people to believe that there could be racial equality.
	In his view, the entire system, the entire United States of America, was white supremacist to its core.
	And therefore you have to bring the entire system down.
	This is what he taught.
	This is what he wrote, and these are the ideas that Obama says on tape are inspiring him and causing everyone to open their minds.
	This is the man who is and was the Jeremiah Wright of academia.
	Wow.
	Joel Pollock, editor at large, in-house counsel, Breitbart News, I believe also a Harvard graduate, uh, author of the new book, Neither Free Nor Fair, the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election, Leo 2.0 Tyrell, Fox News contributor, civil rights uh attorney, talk show host, also a former teacher, by the way, himself, uh, welcome both of you back to the program.
	I I want to dig a little bit deeper deeper because honestly, Joel, that uh you know this better than anybody.
	What what the foundation uh the foundational teachings of critical race theory and how it categorizes uh groups of peoples as oppressors and oppressed, uh identity politics on steroids.
	All of America's institutions are designed to maintain white supremacy.
	Talk about its history.
	So just to help educate everybody, including me.
	Well, first I have to thank you, Sean, for paying attention to this issue nine years ago.
	You were ahead of the curve, and many in the media tried to dismiss critical race theory when we brought it up back then in the same way they're doing now.
	They said, Oh, it's no big deal, it's nothing, race, law, politics, you should just accept that all of this is intertwined.
	Why are you so upset about it?
	And they try to bury it, and of course, now it's come back with a vengeance.
	When the White House says, as Jen Pisaki said today, that we have systemic racism in our society that is responsible for inequalities today.
	What she's doing is applying a Marxist idea to race.
	And the idea is that just as Marxists believe class is the structure of society, critical race theorists believe that race is the structure of society, and that our society is racist because our institutions were created with racism in mind, in fact, with racism as their founding principle in the eighteenth century.
	And the problem that critical race theory has with things like the Civil War and the civil rights movement, is that they say these things create the illusion of legal equality.
	We only think that we have equality before the law, but in fact our system of property itself is racist because it's predicated on the idea that black people could be owned as property.
	We still haven't gotten rid of that idea from within our notion of property somehow.
	And so the only solution is radical redistribution of wealth and property and opportunity.
	And that's what critical race theory is about and it's a driving ideology in this administration.
	And parents around the country are starting to stand up against it because they're realizing it's in their kids' school curriculums.
	It's in their workplaces.
	It's these big private defense contractors making their employees go through classes on white privilege.
	It's really corrosive to an open civil democratic society.
	You know, Leo 2.0 Terrell when I think back and uh all the the the deep dives that we were involved in in vetting Barack Obama, you know, what is a community organizer?
	Let's do a deeper dive into ACORN.
	What is black liberation theology that so inspired Barack Obama, not only to attend the Church of Reverend Wright, but also write a book about a lot of this, and getting to the root cause, again, radicalism, Marxist socialism at the core of it.
	And now it's taken center stage on a level that I don't think anybody ever anticipated.
	Many of the radical ideas of Obama now are are I guess the Democratic Party is is caught up to his radicalism in some ways that nobody wanted to pay attention to first of all let me just I'll answer your question but I want to say that tape of nine years ago is amazing and I my hats off to you and and Joe regarding that tape in which he announced the critical race theory.
	The critical race theory whole concept is a conclusion without supporting facts.
	When I was listening to that when you talk about the the the whole civil rights movement, the the voting rights act is an illusion.
	That's a conclusion without facts when you talk about the the the the civil war and those who fought for the civil war it's a conclusion without facts because they basically are saying that even though you see all this progress it's an illusion conclusion without facts.
	When you focus on Barack Obama I mean think about this here's a man who won his first primer his caucus in Iowa 90% white how do they justify the twice elected black man in the white house?
	How does critical race theory address that issue?
	Basically critical race theory basically concluded that Dr King was not a fraud but was misguided.
	It's a theory that has gained steam fortunately with an extreme leftist viewpoint.
	Because Sean you and Joe know that mainstream America rejects critical race theory.
	We all reject it and they have the audacity to think they're speaking for people of color.
	They do not they speak for a very fringe radical group that is trying to hijack our system.
	And I'll tell you right now it has my opinion it will it will always be here but it will not gain the type of steam that they envision because the majority of America and I say the supermajority of America rejects it.
	The Britannica offers, Joel, this definition of critical race theory, the view that the law and legal institutions are inherently racist and that race itself, instead of being biologically grounded and natural, is socially constructed, a socially constructed concept that is used by white people to further their economic and political interests at the expense of people of color.
	And according to CRT, racial inequality emerges from the social, economic, legal differences that,
	white people create between races to maintain elite white interest in labor markets politics given uh giving rise to poverty criminality in many minority communities Time magazine they they talked about the origins of critical race theory and and how you know the uh the movement really came into being at a 1989 workshop led by Crenshaw and the and these other people at St. Benedict's and Madison,
	Wisconsin, but the in the 70s a group of legal scholars activists developed the theory building on the work of movements like critical legal theory, radical feminism, etc.
	I mean there's a long history the Heritage Foundation says, yeah, this ideology that whiteness is oppression and that all its manifestations are and and hard work is the key to success must be stamped out.
	I mean, that's so fairly accurate in your view.
	Well, when I see people like Jen Pisaki, who is the press secretary, even though she didn't do anything during the campaign, that job actually belongs to Simone Sanders, the African American woman who trudged through the snow in high heels in Iowa when everybody was jumping ship and abandoning Joe Biden.
	I'm not sure why Jen Pisaki got the job.
	But people at that level, elites love critical race theory because it makes white supremacy the problem, and it makes white privilege the issue that has to be unraveled.
	The only people who can unravel white privilege are white people themselves.
	That's why you see elite white kids out in the street rioting.
	That's why you see Jen Pisaki talking about systemic racism.
	You know, she's not going to give up her job for Simone Sanders anytime soon, but they love it because it makes them central.
	They can be the leaders of this new civil rights movement.
	They are important because it's only they who can renounce white privilege.
	And so ironically, it makes elite white people who want to be told how wonderful they are instead of just getting down to the business of being American and doing a day's work.
	It makes them so important.
	So critical race theory actually flatters the elite.
	And if if you listen to Imram Kendi, who's one of the main authors out there promoting critical race theory today, he uh swages groups that pay him tens of thousands of dollars to speak, and he says racism isn't a personal problem.
	People aren't racist, it's the system that's racist, it's the policies that are racist.
	And I can absolve you of that racism.
	I can call you anti-racist allies if you just support the right party, if you just vote the right way and put the right policies in place.
	So that's the deal.
	It's an elite deal.
	The elites are embracing critical race theory because it allows them to maintain their power.
	Quick break.
	More on the other side on Critical Race Theory.
	Joe Pollock, Leo 2.0 Terrell.
	We'll get to your calls.
	800-941 Sean.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	And as we continue, Joe Pollock is with us.
	Leo 2.0 Torrell is with us.
	Let me now play.
	This is Jen Saki earlier today confirming that Joe Biden supports it.
	Now, this is the same Joe Biden.
	Uh, and I'll throw this to Leo on the other side of this that partnered with the guy that filibusted the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act that was a former Klansman to stop the integration of schools and school busings, saying he he didn't want schools to become racial jungles.
	That would be Joe Biden who gets a pass, but this is Jen Saki speaking for the president.
	Uh delegates of the National Education Association, they approved a measure last week calling for support of quote implementation of culturally responsive education, critical race theory, and ethnic studies curriculum on the creek.
	Okay through twelve and higher education.
	Um education.
	Uh first lady is a teacher, she's a union teacher.
	I'm wondering what are the president's thoughts on anti-racism curriculum in the classroom.
	Well, the president believes that in our history, uh, there are many dark moments.
	And there is not just slavery and racism in our history, there's systemic racism that is still impacting society today.
	And he believes, as I believe, as a parent of children, that kids should learn about our history.
	Uh so as a the spouse of an educator and as somebody who is continues to believe that children should learn uh not just the good, but also the challenging in our history, and that's part of what we're talking about here, even as it's become politically charged.
	Thank you.
	Answer that, Leo, through the prism of Joe's history on racial issues, especially as partnering with the former Klansman.
	Well, first of all, uh you have to remember that Joe Biden of today is probably having everything spoon-fed to him, and basically his position is the position of the extreme socialist.
	Joe Biden, the Joe Biden that we know of today, is the Joe Biden who for 40 years embrace racial segregation, embrace Robert KK Bird.
	This is the guy who called uh mixing or integrating the community racial jungle.
	So I don't think you're really hearing from Joe Biden.
	I think you're hearing from a progressive left wing who have hijacked the White House.
	But I want to say this very clearly.
	I said it on your TV show and radio show a hundred thousand times.
	There is no systemic racism in this country.
	That is a term that they keep throwing out every day.
	It is a you should I ask anyone listening to this program today.
	Identify the department, identify the head of this department where there's implementing systemic racism.
	That's a 1950, 1960 term.
	It's been eliminated since the voting rights act, civil rights back share housing act.
	They use this as a race car division.
	Final point.
	The thing that makes it so embarrassing is that you hear this term of systemic racism articulated in democratic cities in Chicago, in LA, in Baltimore, where you have people of color controlling the system.
	So it's a big fat lie, and it's constantly being played upon.
	The White House is using it today.
	All right.
	I gotta thank you both.
	Joel Pollard, great to have you back.
	Uh, you were way ahead of the curve.
	Uh I can't believe it was so long ago we were talking about it, but here we are again, and now it's even worse.
	Uh Joel, thank you.
	Leo 2.0 Terrell, thank you.
	Quick break right back.
	When we come back, more of the best of the Sean Hannity show.
	Stay tuned.
	All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800 nine-four.
	One Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	I mean, the voting in New York City was an unmitigated disaster.
	The Board of Elections in New York, they actually counted at one point 134,000 votes that they were using to practice uh getting the vote tallies prior to the election.
	Now there's about an 8,000 vote margin, and it has as the Democrat winning Eric Adams.
	Uh he ran on law and order.
	I'm not really sure that he's the guy that's gonna get that job done.
	Because New York City, we now know a billion dollar cut to the NYPD, no bail laws in New York.
	Criminals basically go in, you can rob a bank, get out, because there's no bail, rob another one, get brought back to the precinct, get let out, no bail, and rob a third bank.
	You can do that all in one day.
	Anyway, Curtis Lewa is the Republican candidate for mayor in the city of New York, friend of the program for many years.
	We worked together a long time.
	He's been the leader of the Guardian Angels for decades.
	Uh I've seen this guy more often.
	Every time I used to ride the subway, and I haven't been riding it in recent years, but when I did, I'd see him.
	It didn't matter what time of day or night it was, I would run into Curtis or run into the Guardian Angels.
	And when passengers on the subways would see Guardian Angels that were there, they felt better because they don't feel protected in the subways in New York.
	And now it's even worse than ever.
	You see the videos, people being attacked, you know, Colcock from behind, even old women in the streets of New York in broad daylight.
	We see what's going on in San Francisco.
	You know, people, oh, you can as long as you don't steal a thousand dollars, we're not gonna prosecute you.
	You know, we have all the people involved in the rioting from last summer, those throwing bricks and rocks and bottles and and frozen water bottles and Molotov cocktails of police.
	Yeah, none of them are gonna go to jail, even though we've got incontrovertible evidence.
	We got their videos of them doing these committing these crimes and burning down a police precinct in the process.
	Anyway, Curtis's motto for this campaign so far, and and we support his candidacy, uh, is refund the police.
	Great idea, Curtis Lewa.
	Uh, my friend, welcome back.
	Well, my brother in solidarity, Sean Hannity.
	I remember those days when you would find me riding the subways, and Sean, I'm the only mayoral candidate who is riding the subways morning, doing night, because as you know, that's how you meet millions of potential voters who would never have access to anyone running for office.
	Nobody's gonna outwork you.
	I know you well enough to know that that's the case.
	Nobody will outwork you in this.
	Here's the problem, and and I love that you're running.
	I I told you on primary day, I had no worries that you were I knew you were gonna run away with the primary.
	I told you that day.
	And now the challenge is this.
	New York City is a city full of Democrats, liberal, radical, AOC Democrats.
	Now, there's a model that you are running on that you would follow, and that is the one that saved lives when we were at nearly 3,000 murders a year.
	Rudy Giuliani was elected to clean it up, and lo and behold, the the number was driven down about 300, even less than 300 in in years that followed.
	And so that we know how to do this, but the media almost wants to anoint Eric Adams and ignore you, and that really pisses me off.
	As it should, Sean, because uh they basically they want a coronation.
	Let's look at this past week.
	Uh Comrade Bill De Blasio, the part-time mayor, the dope from Park Slope who's sent a drug-induced psychosis, was offered millions of dollars by President Joe Biden, and the president said to this mayor and other mayors in blue states in urban areas that are afflicted with crime, you can use the money to go out and hire police.
	Go out, hire police.
	Bill DeBlasio twice refused to accept the money to hire police.
	Just yesterday, Andrew Eveliz Cuomo declared a state of emergency, claiming gun violence is now the number one problem, no longer the uh pandemic.
	It's been all over the newspapers.
	It is undeniable.
	It's so bad that when you look at the recent numbers, more people are dying of gun violence than of COVID.
	People are dying every day out there.
	Time is not on our side.
	Begin by acknowledging the problem.
	And you know what?
	The problem is it is a statewide problem, and it is an emergency.
	And I want the people of the state to understand that.
	And I want them to respond to the emergency for the way it is.
	So today, first date in the nation is going to declare a disaster emergency on gun violence.
	He has seven points, and he never once mentioned hiring more police.
	Now, Sean, these are cop haters, and they are so fearful of the number one cop hater, AOC, all out crazy, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and her acolytes that they are afraid to take her on in the Democratic Socialists of America and the Justice Warriors who want to defund the police by even three million dollars more, close the prisons, have everyone not pay rent so the landlord's free.
	They want everyone moving south of the Mason Dixon line to turn the red states purple.
	Meantime, this state and this city become solidly blue, but a Democrat Socialist of America blue is all a part of this plan, and I'm going to stand and fight for what is what I know is right, Sean.
	You've seen me do that before, and I'm going to take on AOC and the Democrats Socialists of America every step of the way.
	Eric Adams would never do that.
	He he will not conflict uh with members of his own party.
	I don't see that he would govern any differently.
	And you're right.
	When did he ever say he'd refund the police, replace the one billion dollars?
	Has he ever said it in the course of the campaign?
	No.
	And probably the worst thing is he has been the leader in the effort, not just here, but all over the country.
	It affects your entire audience of law enforcement uh men and women.
	He wants qualified immunity removed from men.
	So that means every day put on their right, they put on their bulletproof ass and go out and risk their lives for us.
	They are culpable for any action they take.
	They will have to defend themselves, they'll have to get their own lawyers, they'll have to get their own personal police malpractice insurance policy, which means they're going to continue to be reactive, not proactive.
	As mayor, I am going to say no.
	Qualified immunity is returned to you.
	All elected officials have it, judges, prosecutors, civil servants.
	We cannot continue to vilify the police.
	Do you know today we honored the essential workers today up the canyon of heroes?
	I saw that.
	I did not see a great round of applause for the police who before the lockdown were surely heroes.
	Then they were turned into zeros last summer, and they've not been elevated back and put on the pedestal they rightfully deserve.
	When I'm mayor, first day, I'm shaking the hand of every police officer I can in every precinct in New York City, building up their morale and taking the handcuffs off the off the police and putting it onto the criminals, and then battling Cuomo and Albany and saying there needs to be bail, and these these criminals, these predicate felons need to be remanded to jail.
	Let me let me put some emphasis, add emphasis to what you just said about qualified immunity.
	Let me explain what this so people really fully completely understand it.
	In every case, police officers, if they get sued, the city, the town, the municipality backs them up, hires their lawyers, they get a defense.
	If you if you create a scenario where cops have to get their own insurance, and they have to pay that out of pocket, and they're no longer indemnified by the cities that they serve, that means any criminal ever arrested will sue that cop, and it will policing will then become impossible, and defund will be meaningless.
	That will dismantle every police department in the country.
	Now you also added to that this whole no-bail insanity.
	How many times did that one guy that was highlighted, I think in the New York Post, how many banks did this guy rob, and they kept letting him out again and again, and he kept saying to the governor, governor and the and the mayor, thank you very much for letting me out so I can rob another bank.
	Well, in fact, Sean, he came up from South Carolina, he hit lotto.
	He hit Powerball in New York City.
	He said in South Carolina, when he tried to rob a bank, he's looking at five years or more.
	He came up to New York City, he got a disappearance ticket.
	That meant he slipped through the cracks, released into the streets, and he goes, I can't believe this.
	All I gotta do is go out and get another gun and rob another bank.
	And he did it five times, Sean.
	Five times, and he kept being released until finally they charged him with a federal crime, and they uh obviously there's bail at the federal system, and they remanded him to uh federal jail.
	I mean, it's so bad, Curtis, um, that you see these videos of I mean, literally older women.
	They're just getting cold cocked.
	And in broad daylight, you know, the squeegee men are back.
	For those that live outside of New York City, you may not know what squeegee men are, but in in heavy trafficked areas in New York City, you drive in your car, you stop at a light, you have cars in front of you, cars behind you, there's no place for you to go.
	And and people will come up to your car aggressively, usually with dirty water.
	They will take a squeegee, they'll start cleaning your windshield, and you better fork over some money, or often there's a confrontation, correct?
	Correct.
	And that's when I'm mayor, it's quality of life again, just like when Rudy was mayor, it's zero tolerance, it's the broken windows theory.
	It's getting things back on track because we will never recover as a city.
	We will never resurrect ourselves economically unless we have safe streets, safe subways, safe parks, and safe schools for our children.
	And Sean, for to all of your audience, wherever they're listening, the help I need from all of them is the Democrats have millions of dollars in their war chests, and they're gonna drop it on my head.
	You know, they're gonna call me a racist, a misogynist, a sexist, a homophobe, you name it, what they do to all Republicans.
	So people would be kind enough to go to Curtis Lewa for Mayor.com, Curtis Leewa for mayor.com.
	See what I stand for, what I intend on doing for the city that birthed me, New York City, and I am New York, but to help me raise the money necessary to defend my honor and the positions that I take that can get this city back on track.
	I I really, really hope that people go to your website, Curtis Sleeworth of Mayor.com.
	I hope people go there.
	I would like to think that New Yorkers can put aside petty politics, and you're also running as an independent.
	And I want people to know that there's a another way that New York City can recover.
	I always said, how many years, Curtis, did you hear me say the greatest city in the world?
	I don't believe it is anymore.
	Unfortunately, it hurts me to say that, but I don't believe it.
	And I and but we but it's possible to reform New York City, bring it back to the safe days of Rudy Giuliani, you know, Rudy Giuliani, throw the first rock, you get arrested.
	Throw the second rock, you get arrested, throw the third rocket, you get arrested.
	Then people stop throwing rocks.
	Pretty simple, basic print principles.
	Uh certainly stop and frisk worked.
	All of these things you want to bring back to the city.
	And I don't see you've never been somebody that's big into social issues.
	You know, I know they'll try and say, oh, Curtis Lee was, you know, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic.
	You're none of those things.
	But they'll make these false accusations.
	I just hope that the that New Yorkers are understanding what is at stake here.
	It's their entire way of life.
	You get the last word, my friend.
	Well, remember also the exodus continues as so many of our New York City residents flee to Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Texas.
	If you don't want all the New Yorkers coming into your areas, turning red states purple.
	No, they can come as long as they don't bring their stupid politics with them.
	Right.
	Make me mayor, and I will convince them to improve and not move, and I will stop AOC and the Democratic Socialists of America here before they spread throughout the United States.
	I promise you all of that.
	I hope people will go to your website.
	We're going to follow this campaign closely.
	It's possible.
	It's an uphill battle.
	I admire your courage for taking it on.
	Anything we can do to help you, we're here.
	Okay?
	You're always welcome.
	Thanks for all thanks for all your support, Sean.
	I hear it from people in the streets and subways.
	Hey, Sean, you're nobody.
	I can even see Ron Kuby supporting you.
	And I and Ron, even though we disagreed with Ron, I mean, you know, we all liked him.
	Yeah, but you know what would help me if he would actually have a press conference denouncing.
	He might do it as a favor for you anyway, whether whether you like it or not, he might do it.
	Definitely.
	Thank you, Sean.
	All right, my friend, 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
