| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| We're coming to your city, Country Sound. | |
| First of all, I will nominate. | |
| And that person will be the first black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court. | |
| It's long overdue, in my view. | |
| Is there any scenario in which the president would select his vice president, Kamala Harris, for the Supreme Court? | |
| Again, I'm not going to speak to any considerations, preparations, list. | |
| The system continues to fail us. | |
| We are not safe anymore. | |
| Not even the members of the service. | |
| Freedom is back in style. | |
| Welcome to the revolution. | |
| Yeah, we're coming to your city. | |
| Come on, play our guitars and sing you a contra song. | |
| Sean Hennedy, the new Sean Hennity show. | |
| More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America. | |
| This is a special edition of the Sean Hennity Show. | |
| America trapped behind enemy lines. | |
| Day number 170. | |
| Day 170, 183 days since Joe said he'd never abandon Americans. | |
| Oh, now the U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres is now writing in a report that they have received credible allegations that over 100 people who worked for the former government, including security forces and helpful individuals to allied international forces, have been murdered. | |
| I thought Joe had all the leverage. | |
| Joe Biden actually finally mentioned for the first time one American. | |
| He talked about the call for the release of one American, a U.S. Navy vet, Mark Freinix is his name, who was taken hostage, where he has all the leverage over the Taliban. | |
| So he told us in Afghanistan nearly two years ago. | |
| Well, what about all the other Americans you abandoned, military family members you abandoned, thousands of green card holders eligible to live here that you abandoned? | |
| What about he didn't even mention them? | |
| Never mind our Afghan allies, never mind the billions of equipment. | |
| But of course, Joe Biden is a liberal Democrat, so he gets a pass, as is always the case, a double standard, unlike any other. | |
| These are sick times we're living in. | |
| Anyway, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I don't know if you're paying attention to this freedom convoy going on in Canada. | |
| It's pretty fascinating. | |
| And now there's talk of a freedom convoy starting in the U.S. | |
| Well, first there's talk of American truckers joining with their Canadian, their fellow Canadian truckers as part of this convoy. | |
| What's been amazing about this, obviously it's against the vaccine mandate. | |
| And what's amazing is the people of Canada are standing with the truckers. | |
| I mean, everywhere they go, everywhere they show up, there's literally people lining the streets, sort of like a Trump rally. | |
| What did Trump have? | |
| 85,000 people in Texas this weekend? | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| And they're supporting the truckers. | |
| Now, here's the thing. | |
| Justin Trudeau, now, first I read the report, he went into hiding. | |
| We might have reported that Thursday or Friday last week, Linda. | |
| I don't remember. | |
| Now we find out he has COVID. | |
| Now, this is the point about following the science only when it's convenient. | |
| Because if you got the vaccine that they said if you took, that you'd never get COVID. | |
| But if you got the vaccine and you followed their protocol, you still got COVID anyway. | |
| Delta was the first breakthrough variant. | |
| Now, if you get the vaccine and their booster that they keep trying to shove in your arm, one after another after another, I guess it boosters in perpetuity. | |
| You did everything right as Whoopi Goldberg said, and she still got it. | |
| And you wear the mask and you still get it. | |
| And even natural immunity is not stopping it. | |
| Okay, so tell me, at what point here do you not focus on something other than the vaccine that's not preventing people from getting it? | |
| And by the way, don't buy this nonsense that Omicron is not killing people because I know it's killing people. | |
| I know people dead from Omicron. | |
| Now we got the super Omicron version variant is coming. | |
| Are they going to tell us now in a month that, oh, we didn't see this coming? | |
| I'm giving them fair warning. | |
| It's coming. | |
| And it's spreading. | |
| Apparently, it's one and a half times faster or more contagious than the original Omicron variant. | |
| Anyway, but it's fascinating to watch all of this unfold. | |
| And let me backtrack here for a second. | |
| What is amazing to me, the people that have been mistreated the most, we used to consider the heroes of the pandemic. | |
| Remember in the middle of March of 2020, in April of 2020, May of 2020, I mean, it was an Adam Schiff show. | |
| Nobody knew anything. | |
| And everybody's, you know, scrambling. | |
| And we find out none of these governors had made any preparations for any type of pandemic style. | |
| They ignored their own health studies to have materials, gowns and gloves and masks and ventilators available. | |
| New York State alone was supposed to purchase 15,783 of them. | |
| They didn't purchase any. | |
| New York City alone was supposed to purchase, what, 10,000? | |
| They didn't purchase, but like a 200. | |
| And then Governor Cuomo's answer was, well, how do we make do with the 500 we have? | |
| I'm like, okay, you can't split. | |
| What are we supposed to share a ventilator? | |
| Was that the plan there? | |
| But they didn't want to spend the money. | |
| Anyway, so, but if you think, I used to say that everything would have been on a multiple that we can't even imagine in terms of if farmers didn't farm, they kept farming. | |
| If Packers didn't pack the trucks and truckers didn't truck all the medical supplies, all the medicines, everything that we needed, all the food that we all needed to consume to continue to live life, then society would have broken down. | |
| And if you think the, well, when going on 900,000 dead Americans here, Joe's policies, he's run out of tests. | |
| He's run out of monoclonals. | |
| He's not warped. | |
| He doesn't warp speed anything. | |
| He hasn't learned a thing from the Trump administration. | |
| So my point is, is that they were the heroes of this pandemic. | |
| The other group are the people that worked in hospitals. | |
| Now, I don't know how you feel about it, but the thought, if I had to do my radio show in the middle of a hospital in March or TV show, March, April, May, June of 2020, and walk into a COVID Petri dish every day, I don't think I would have liked it. | |
| I know Linda would have loved it, but I would not have liked it. | |
| And, well, it's true. | |
| You would have loved it. | |
| You know, you would have been able to prove your theory, which I'll never repeat on air. | |
| All right, then. | |
| But anyway, but all those doctors, all those nurses, all those orderlies, all those janitors, all those people in the cafeteria at a hospital, they all went in and they worked in a COVID petri dish. | |
| Most of them got COVID as a result. | |
| You know, in the end, I'm actually convinced probably everybody's going to get it, but who knows? | |
| And anyway, they were the heroes for a while. | |
| And then, for example, how did New York state pay back the nurses and medical professionals that came from other states because New York was in such dire straits, they needed everybody they could possibly get. | |
| So, people, nurses, et cetera, hospital workers, they came from other states to help New York out, put their own life at risk. | |
| And Andrew Cuomo's thank you was a tax bill to pay for state taxes on the money you made while you were bailing New York out in the middle of a pandemic. | |
| Yeah, thank you very much. | |
| And now then we turn around and we say, oh, all of you people that were diving on COVID grenades every day, now we're going to demand a vaccine mandate. | |
| Even if you had natural immunity, even if your doctor doesn't recommend it, even if you have a rare medical condition, there's no exemptions. | |
| Maybe you have a religious reason exemption. | |
| No exemptions for anybody. | |
| This is how stupid and rigid and unscientific one-size-fits-all medicine has been throughout this entire pandemic. | |
| It's why nobody trusts Fauci, Biden, Kamala Harris, Dr. Harris, seriously, you're going to listen to her, Dr. Walensky of the CDC. | |
| Nobody, the NIH that funded gain of function research in the Wuhan virology lab in China and used taxpayer dollars to do it and lied about it or the WHO to cover it up for China. | |
| Forget it. | |
| Nobody trusts, nor should you trust any of these people. | |
| They got everything wrong. | |
| So the mandates, the truckers have just said, the hell with you. | |
| You know, when when we needed these truckers the most and farmers the most and packers the most and nurses and orderlies and doctors and and and janitors and and people, the chefs that cooked in the cafeterias, etc., etc., they all showed up for work every day and they knew damn well they were putting their own personal safety at risk. | |
| And now we turn around and we mandate them and then we started to fire them. | |
| Now, some hospitals learn very quick. | |
| Quickly that not having all of those medical professionals working didn't work out very well and they decided to rescind the mandates. | |
| Then, of course, the Supreme Court weighed in. | |
| Now what's going to be interesting to watch is there are American uh truckers that are now standing in solidarity with their fellow Canadian truckers and they're on their way that. | |
| Well, there's two things happening simultaneously. | |
| Some truckers are moving their, their rigs right up straight into Ottawa, right into Canada, for The purpose of standing in solidarity with their fellow truckers. | |
| Then there's talk of a convoy, um that truckers in the U.s are getting ready to follow the lead of their Canadian counterparts and form a convoy that will travel from California to Washington Dc. | |
| You know they're not going to be able to, but they can get very close to the White House. | |
| Maybe they can all line up in Dc. | |
| And you know what's been fascinating about Canada Linda, you've seen this um and we're going to talk to one of the organizers later in the show is that all the people in Canada I mean, they're like rock stars driving past their house. | |
| They come out, they're getting huge crowds, people supporting them. | |
| Now, all those people supporting them, they kind of figured out if these truckers, if they don't get back on the road in two weeks, three weeks. | |
| However long these guys are willing to hold out and stay united, let's assume they hold out. | |
| out for a month you think we got a supply chain crisis now Every store you go to, the shelves will be bare. | |
| We will be in trouble. | |
| That's how critical they are to the supply chain in this country and in Canada. | |
| And if American truckers do the same thing, God help us. | |
| These are people that are really underappreciated in terms of their impact for the economy. | |
| And I have friends in the trucking business, and they tell me all the time, they say, truckers, it takes a certain type of personality to be a trucker. | |
| You got to be willing to spend long hours on the road alone and focused and drive safely. | |
| And most people, they love to be left alone. | |
| They want to be left the hell alone. | |
| They got to get drug tested. | |
| They got to go through a series of bureaucratic hoops just to take a single job and all this other stuff. | |
| But now they're going to, they're saying the other thing, truckers now are working for smaller companies or going independent because they don't want the mandate. | |
| They want no part of it. | |
| They've made their decision. | |
| I've told you a long time ago, this whole debate, vax, no vax, it's over. | |
| People have made up their minds. | |
| You're not going to convince anybody. | |
| Joe Biden certainly can't convince anybody. | |
| I noticed Nova Scotia outlawed support on the highway for the Freedom Convoy. | |
| Corporations that disobey the directive face fines of up to $100,000 according to the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. | |
| In other words, if you go out and show support for the convoy, you know, you could be fined up to $100,000. | |
| Whatever happened to freedom? | |
| Now, we've discussed this at length, Linda. | |
| How many times have I said I believe in science, vaccination, I believe in all of that? | |
| A lot. | |
| And how many times have I also reiterated, I believe in freedom? | |
| And freedom is paramount. | |
| Medical freedom specifically. | |
| And I believe in medical freedom specifically. | |
| Thank you. | |
| You're right. | |
| And that I also believe, and I guess I'm a rare bird these days that believes in medical privacy. | |
| I believe in patient doctor confidentiality. | |
| How about it's, you know, all these people, Hannity, you need to tell your audience. | |
| I don't not a doctor. | |
| I can't tell my audience. | |
| You know, well, what did you do? | |
| How about it's none of your damn business is my answer. | |
| I'm not telling, you know, I probably would have gladly told people, but you know what? | |
| Because they're demanding it? | |
| No, no, I'm not going to tell you. | |
| Because also, you know what? | |
| I don't know anybody in this audience's unique medical history condition. | |
| I'm not playing doctor. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| But this is going to be fascinating to watch. | |
| We're also going to get to the Joe Rogan issue with Spotify in a minute. | |
| We'll talk about that. | |
| Everybody in the left media says, oh, this is, oh, thank God, Justice Breyer retired. | |
| Joe Biden can finally get a win. | |
| This isn't a win for Joe Biden. | |
| You know, he's going to replace one liberal with another liberal. | |
| That's basically it. | |
| That's not exactly a win. | |
| But if you want to ignore the borders, you want to ignore Afghanistan, Russia on the Ukrainian border, ignore China and their territorial ambitions, you want to ignore Iran working hard to get their nuke and North Korea firing missiles. | |
| You want to ignore the high price of energy, a 40-year high of inflation, open borders, getting rid of energy independence, begging Russia, begging OPEC to produce more. | |
| You go ahead. | |
| You call that a real win for Joe. | |
| Good luck with that. | |
| You want to be a part of the program? | |
| You know, this is pretty amazing. | |
| I can't even believe that it's something that we would even have to talk about. | |
| So Joe Biden is actually trying to figure out, he says his administration is trying to figure out why illegal immigrants leave their countries. | |
| How about it doesn't matter why? | |
| And how about the answer is obvious. | |
| They're leaving their countries because they don't have hope and opportunity that we often take for granted here in this country. | |
| How about it's that simple? | |
| I mean, the level of stupidity I can't even believe from this president. | |
| I still to this day can't believe it. | |
| By the way, this poll is interesting based on this freedom convoy that I mentioned is a poll showing the vast majority of Americans are ready to move on from COVID. | |
| New mammoth poll, 70% of Americans agree it's time we accept. | |
| COVID is here to stay, and we just need to get on with our lives, including 78% of those that had already gotten COVID and 65% who say they have not been infected. | |
| The main difference in the sense that it's time to move on is partisan. | |
| 89% of Republicans say time to move on with our lives. | |
| 71% of independents, time to move on. | |
| Democrats, only 47%. | |
| I mean, that's pretty amazing. | |
| We'll talk about this Joe Rogan controversy on the other side of it. | |
| And he's broken his silence on this. | |
| It is really unbelievable to me. | |
| One of the people that they're most critical of him having on is Dr. Robert Malone, who we've had on this program. | |
| Dr. Robert Malone was one of the main architects of the mRNA technology that created the ability for Pfizer and Moderna to create the vaccine. | |
| Why are they hating on him? | |
| Everyone really thinks in D.C. | |
| This is the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800-941. | |
| Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Joe Rogan had to take to Instagram. | |
| This whole controversy begins with Neil Young, an aging, you know, out-of-touch rocker. | |
| And I thought rockers, you know, were all about liberty, all about freedom. | |
| You know, apparently not. | |
| Only groupthink works for them. | |
| I never thought I'd hear Howard Stern ever say, you know, F your freedom. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| I'm sorry, but I cherish my freedom. | |
| And others have been saying the same exact thing. | |
| Now, it's interesting since we have breakthrough cases. | |
| In other words, somebody fully vaccinated with a booster or even natural immunity, they're now all getting COVID. | |
| Some people are getting it for the second time. | |
| I know so many people have gotten it now for the second time. | |
| And everything that they told us in the beginning, oh, if you get vaccinated, Joe Biden said, and so many others said, you're not going to get COVID. | |
| Fauci said it. | |
| That didn't work out well. | |
| That didn't age well either. | |
| Just like I'll never mandate the vaccine. | |
| Jen Saki, Joe Biden, Fauci, Walinski, you name it, they all said it. | |
| Then they pushed for the vaccine mandate. | |
| That's why you're seeing this pushback. | |
| Now, a lot of this, when you do a radio show or a TV show, you don't always put only people that agree with you on. | |
| You've heard this show over the years. | |
| We've had plenty of people that disagree with me. | |
| We've tried to bring on a variety of views as it relates to COVID as part of your ongoing education around it. | |
| And, you know, we have people that they've even criticized Harvard medical-trained doctors like Dr. Farid and Harvey Riesch went to Yale Medical School, and they believe in early treatment, both of them, from the beginning. | |
| And I think it turned out to be right. | |
| And I think the main number one gold standard therapeutic would be monoclonal antibodies. | |
| The only one that ran out of tests were Joe Biden after Christmas. | |
| Then they ran out of monoclonal antibodies after Christmas. | |
| You know, a friend of mine works down in Palm Beach. | |
| They had thousands of thousands of doses of Regeneron. | |
| Now, okay, they're saying GSK Citrovimab, it works better than Regeneron, but given the choice, I'll take any monoclonal antibody you got. | |
| And why aren't they mass producing the Citrovimab monoclonal antibodies if they're better for Omicron? | |
| Well, that's right. | |
| They said we didn't see Omicron coming. | |
| That's what they said. | |
| If you want to talk about the people that nobody should trust, I don't trust Biden or Dr. Kamala Harris or Dr. Walensky or Dr. Fauci or the NIH or the CDC. | |
| How can you? | |
| Because they've gotten nearly everything wrong. | |
| You know, and Joe Rogan made that point when he put out this video. | |
| He brings on people with a variety of opinions. | |
| What have I been saying? | |
| I said, okay, you've got to study yourself. | |
| Take it seriously. | |
| You know, Joe Bastardi lost both his parents a week ago, both of them, from Omicron, the variant Omicron. | |
| Okay, that's how dangerous it is. | |
| And I know other people that are intubated because of Omicron. | |
| I feel like I spend more time talking about monoclonal antibodies off air than I do on air. | |
| That's why I made a concerted effort to keep bringing up what if you test positive, what is your plan? | |
| I don't know anything about your medical history, pre-existing conditions, current medical condition. | |
| I can't make this decision for you. | |
| I didn't go to medical school four years. | |
| I'm not playing doctor on radio and TV. | |
| But if you do your own research, that means research different viewpoints. | |
| There are a lot of different viewpoints on this. | |
| And, you know, should you be more proactive? | |
| My personal view is yes. | |
| You know, the problem with people that say, no, I'm fine. | |
| You know, if I get a fever, I take two Tylenol. | |
| My oxygen levels are good. | |
| I got it four days ago. | |
| Okay, what happens on day six when your oxygen level drops? | |
| And the only protocol your doctor believes in is, well, if it drops below 90 or below, go to the doctor. | |
| The problem is at that point, now you're in a window where the therapeutics are less likely to work. | |
| They work best. | |
| Every study shows one taken early, as early as possible. | |
| I know people that got Delta, very virulent, very lethal variant. | |
| And when they got it, they got monoclonal antibodies within 24, 48 hours. | |
| And without exception, they all felt better within 48 hours, without a single exception, vaccinated, unvaccinated people. | |
| Anyway, so one of the guests that he had on, we've had on this program, Dr. Robert Malone, an infectious disease specialist. | |
| And he gets criticized. | |
| You don't have to listen to Dr. Malone. | |
| What do I say? | |
| Research, listen, you know, even people you disagree with. | |
| Then take into account your medical history, your current medical condition. | |
| Talk to your doctor so you can ask smart questions. | |
| You know, before I went away for Christmas, I said, please, if you are somebody you love, knowing that it's likelier when people get together during the holidays, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year's, that there's going to be more cases. | |
| How they didn't see this coming is ridiculous. | |
| And then after Christmas, they run out of tests and monoclonals. | |
| I mean, why aren't they mass producing it? | |
| All these antivirals like Pfizer and Merck, everybody's raving about them, except nobody can get them. | |
| Then Spotify, you know, gave into the, they said, fine, to Neil Young. | |
| All right, if you don't want to be on Spotify, fine. | |
| Then Joni Mitchell, you know, we got these 60 throwbacks, you know, aging old rockers that, you know, are dictating to Spotify, okay, you can't run our music anymore, fine. | |
| And then Spotify, you can tell they're feeling the pressure a little bit. | |
| They, you know, apparently have announced the addition of content warnings in response to Joe Rogan and COVID-19 misinformation. | |
| Well, can we go back and play the tapes? | |
| We've played them on this show and I've played them on TV of Fauci and Biden saying if you got vaccinated, you weren't going to get COVID. | |
| Can we go back and play the tapes of them saying that they'll never support a mandate? | |
| Can we go back and look at all the projections that they made that were false and wrong from the get-go? | |
| Is anybody going to finally give a rip or an Adam Schiff that Fauci lied about NIH funding? | |
| The NIH's own papers show that they knew gain of function coronavirus research went on at the Wuhan Virology Lab. | |
| And through the Eco Alliance group, they were funding this with your money. | |
| And Fauci lied. | |
| And he knew as early as January of 2020. | |
| And you see this flurry of his own emails and the intercept emails and Project Veritas. | |
| Anyway, so that why is Prince? | |
| Didn't Prince Harry and what's her name? | |
| Megan Merkel? | |
| Megan Markle. | |
| Megan Markle. | |
| Okay. | |
| Why are they expressing concerns to Spotify? | |
| Well, why are they involved? | |
| Didn't they just get done telling Oprah fairly recently that they want to stay out of the limelight? | |
| They want to live private lives. | |
| They have a podcast on Spotify. | |
| Oh, so they don't want to be. | |
| Well, then let them quit. | |
| That's what I said. | |
| We'll give back you $25 million and go on your merry way. | |
| This is what I don't understand. | |
| Nobody can force you to listen or watch Joe Rogan. | |
| If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. | |
| You know, that goes for Howard Stern, Don Imis in the day, Rush in the day. | |
| You don't have to, I can't make you listen to this radio program. | |
| I wish I could, but I can't. | |
| Just kidding. | |
| That's a joke for all you idiots out there with no senses of humor. | |
| I can't force you to watch Hannity. | |
| All I can do is put on the best shows I can put on every day. | |
| You know, now we've got, let's see, Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band writes a statement on Young's website that they would cut ties with Spotify, urging all musicians, artists, music lovers everywhere to do the same. | |
| Why? | |
| Now you want to ruin Joe Rogan's life. | |
| The guy that he interviewed is the guy that is almost single-handedly responsible, whether you agree with his COVID opinions or not, for the mRNA technology that allowed for the creation of those precious vaccines that everybody seems to want to push without a medical license and loves so much. | |
| Dr. Robert Malone just has a different view about the technology and its level of readiness that he expressed on this program. | |
| Now, if it's not for him, we likely wouldn't have mRNA technology, meaning no Pfizer shot, no Moderna shot. | |
| Keep that in mind. | |
| That's one of the main people they're mad at for having on. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| And, you know, I just never understood these people that want to silence anybody and everybody that they can. | |
| And it started years ago with Howard Stern. | |
| He's getting fined left and right by the FCC and smartly. | |
| And, you know, he moved over to satellite radio or he can do his show free of this kind of crap. | |
| Well, Spotify has the same thing as well. | |
| Do you have to pay for Spotify? | |
| I don't even know. | |
| Do you have to pay for that? | |
| Yeah, you can subscribe, and they have, you know, they have it where it's ad-free if you're a paid subscriber, and then they have it where, you know, you have ads if you're not. | |
| Now, I've seen Joe Rogan's show. | |
| I don't know Joe Rogan. | |
| I think we reached out to him once for an interview. | |
| He told us to pound sand or something. | |
| No, maybe he doesn't like that. | |
| Not at all. | |
| I have no idea. | |
| It doesn't matter whether he likes me or not. | |
| I don't give an atom shift. | |
| But the point is, I've watched his podcast. | |
| He was interviewing of all things. | |
| I got interested in a Miley Cyrus interview that he did. | |
| Can you believe that? | |
| And you'd ask me, well, why? | |
| Because I found her to be a fascinating mind. | |
| I just found it interesting. | |
| I saw Elon Musk's interview. | |
| Elon Musk, as brilliant as the guy is, and you know how anti-drug I am, lights up a joint. | |
| I mean, this guy is like a modern-day Henry Ford. | |
| He's a genius. | |
| You cannot, you know, you cannot dispute how smart this man is. | |
| And I loved, he had some comments for Joe Biden over the weekend. | |
| We'll get to that too. | |
| Anyway, so now, all right, now they're going to put a content advisory on. | |
| Everybody already knows that these are opinions. | |
| Everybody knows that nobody has the set answer. | |
| That's why I always end my little speech on COVID. | |
| Take it seriously. | |
| I start with that and I end with, but you got to ask your own doctor. | |
| Because I don't know a damn thing about your medical history. | |
| How would I know? | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| And I'll tell you, all they're really going to do in the end is make Rogan bigger and more popular than ever, and it's going to backfire. | |
| But, you know, the American people, they're over this. | |
| Just like a long time ago, I said, you know what? | |
| This whole debate over vax, don't vax, that debate is done, in my view, because I don't think Joe Biden or Anthony Fauci or Walinski or Jen Saki or any Democrat, any elected official are going to convince people that decided not to get vaccinated at this late hour to get vaccinated. | |
| They've made up their minds. | |
| Now I'll tell you the people that, you know, we didn't have to mistreat hospital workers the way they did with the vaccine mandate. | |
| The heroes of the pandemic. | |
| You remember, I can take you back, Linda. | |
| Remember every day, like New Yorkers would get out with pots and pans and be screaming and yelling at the certain time of day when there was a shift change at hospitals in New York. | |
| Seven o'clock. | |
| Yeah, now they were firing those people until they realized they can't live without them. | |
| Now, again, the truckers don't truck, the farmers don't farm, the Packers don't pack, no medical equipment to New York, no food to New York, New York dies, and other parts of the country as well. | |
| The Northeast, in particular, at that point, was getting clobbered in March of 2020 because we were living through it. | |
| I'll never forget the day there was a single moment in this pandemic. | |
| It was in March of 2020. | |
| And I got a call from a buddy who works in a hospital. | |
| He goes, Hannity, you're not going to believe it. | |
| I said, what? | |
| He goes, we can't handle this. | |
| I said, what do you mean? | |
| He goes, we have patients up and down the halls. | |
| We have people waiting outside the emergency room door. | |
| We can't take care of this many people. | |
| So I communicated that information to other people with the intention of hopefully helping. | |
| And then there was a rapid ratchet. | |
| That's when the Mercy and two Navy hospital ships were sent, one to the East Coast, one to the West Coast. | |
| And that's when, you know, remember when Trump went ahead and partnered with the car companies? | |
| And the car companies looked at the ventilator, and these are the top engineers in the country. | |
| I got to get my name on the list for that new Corvette, by the way. | |
| But we'll talk about that another day. | |
| And they looked at this ventilator thing and they said, this is complicated as hell. | |
| We can't just do this in a minute. | |
| These are top guys. | |
| It's such a sophisticated piece of machinery. | |
| And at that point, anyway, if you're on a ventilator, you had a 12% chance of living. | |
| Now, I think it's somewhere in the mid-30s to 40% chance. | |
| Some people are getting off it, but a lot of people don't make it off. | |
| And it just sucks. | |
| And if these truckers hold out in Canada and it expands to America, which they're saying it's going to, now you're going to have an appreciation by the end of this for truckers like you've never had in your life because you're going to realize everything you buy in every store you go to, everything you consume got there by a truck. | |
| And a month of them not delivering, let me tell you something, will be a disaster for everybody. | |
| But they're fighting for freedom. | |
| These were the heroes of the pandemic. | |
| Now, what? | |
| Now they're the enemy? | |
| Really? | |
| Now, nurses and first responders, that most of them got COVID anyway because they were willing to jump on COVID grenades every day. | |
| Now they're the enemy. | |
| You have a doctor that creates the mRNA technology. | |
| You don't like the fact that he only prefers it to be used for people 65 or older or people obese and under special and different circumstances. | |
| Is he not allowed to have a different point of view? | |
| You know, are we really going to condemn and we're not going to give medical care to somebody that decided maybe because they have a rare medical condition you don't know anything about, we're not going to give them any medical treatment because they made a different decision. | |
| Whatever happened to freedom and liberty, medical privacy, doctor-patient confidentiality, these things matter in this country, especially medical freedom. | |
| What's your status? | |
| Where's your COVID card? | |
| Now in New York, they wanted COVID vaccination cards for five-year-olds to go into a store, into a restaurant. | |
| Where's the science behind it? | |
| Apparently, science only wins science is convenient science. | |
| 800-941-Sean, our number. | |
