Okay, welcome back to the Sean Hannity International, National Global Radio Show.
Leo 2.0 in for Mr. Hannity.
And I've you know been here for two hours already.
I can't believe this is the final hour.
By the way, our phone number, 1-800-9401 Sean.
That's 800-941-7326.
Sean's Twitter account is at Sean Hannity.
My Twitter account is at the Leo Torrell.
We have uh posted the radio program on my website, the LeoTorrell.com.
And of course, you can um call us at the number I just gave you, 1-800-941-7326.
Now we're gonna take a few phone calls, and then we got another special, special, special guest on the Leo Trell wish list, but unknown to her, I'm gonna bring in Linda, the executive producer, because you know, I I'm trying to get a resume developed, so I gotta get a on-air uh critique of the first two hours.
So, Linda, I know you didn't expect this, but come on the air.
She's the executive producer.
I mean, she's tough.
She's intimidated me with a lot of notes.
I mean, I'm scared.
I gotta make sure I do everything right.
So I need a two-third report card right now, Miss Linda.
Well, I'll tell you, you know, aside from me scaring you, which is total fake news because you're not scared of anything.
Um, you honestly, we've been talking about it all day.
I mean, you're a natural.
Obviously, you have your own show on KBC and you're killing it there with your podcast, and you know, you're on the show all all the time at night with uh with Sean.
You've been a guest on the radio show many, many times.
But um, my God, you are just you're crushing it today.
We are just so delighted to have you here, honestly.
Unbelievable.
Now tell me how you're telling me how you really feel.
Oh, yeah.
Nobody ever, nobody ever ever wonders what I'm feeling, because I'm always offering it before they ask.
But seriously, you are you're crushing it.
Now, is there any scenario where if I was the opposite?
Let me give you a scenario.
Let's just say I had a scripted list of notes.
I had a pre-written out program, and I was just reading it.
What would you do?
So I have a I have a memory.
I'll share with you guys in the audience.
Uh we have a friend who guest hosted the show many, many years ago.
Um, going back at least 10, I think.
And um, he was a sweetheart, very, very nice guy, but very um pragmatic and sort of thoughtful.
And he came in with this stack of papers, and I looked at him, I said, huh.
What's that?
He says, Oh, it's my show prep.
So, okay, no problem.
So he goes in the studio, I'm in the control room, he starts a show and he's reading verbatim from this.
And I'm like, oh, this is terrible.
And he was so smart, didn't need the didn't need the notes.
So I went in on commercial break.
I said, listen, you're doing great.
Here's the thing.
It sounds terrible when you read.
Nobody likes that.
So do me a favor.
Lose the papers.
Just do you.
Be natural.
You'll be fine.
He's like, no, no, really.
I said, no, really.
Because I'm I'm gonna make you a promise.
If you read from that again, I'm I'm gonna set those papers on fire.
And he just looks at me and he goes, okay, Lynn.
I'm like, no, no, really.
I'm gonna set it on fire.
I'm just letting you know.
It's alright, fine.
So I walk out, go back in the control room.
We get back from break.
My man picks up the papers and starts to read and I'm like, oh God.
Get my lighter out.
He sees me walking from the control room.
We're on air.
We're going to the host studio.
How are you doing?
Give me those papers.
I set it on fire while he's on air and he looks at me and he goes, Linda, you just can't set things on fire.
I'm like, I'm I'm doing it right now.
This is it.
This is me sending your papers on fire.
Now speak from the heart.
Have a great show.
I'm leaving.
Whole thing on fire, dumped it in the trash can, poured water on it, went back in the control room.
It's hilarious.
Nobody ever read again on that show.
I'll tell you that much.
Uh I will not read.
I'm not reading, Linda.
I'm glad you're not reading.
I'm not reading at all.
Words of the wise.
Do not read when you're hosting the Sean Hannity show.
Thank you very much, Linda.
That's the uh two-third report card for Leo 2.0 for the Sean Hannity show.
And that's Linda.
Thank you very much, Linda.
Appreciate it.
And also the guests at the show, the whole staff.
Let's take a few phone calls.
Katie by the door, the screener has taken uh some names.
And let's go, ladies first.
Mary Kay, Mary Kay from the Show Me State, Missouri.
Welcome to the Sean Hannity Radio Show.
Thank you very much.
I have to say I really feel honored to be able to speak with you.
You are by far one of my absolutely favorite guests that Sean has.
I love and respect the fact that you just tell it how it is.
Yes.
And so I wanted to know, of course, your opinion on when the Republicans, optimistically here, take over control of the government coming up.
What do you think Nancy Pelosi's role is going to be in this?
I mean, do you think they're really gonna finally be able to hush her all the way?
Or do you think that we're still gonna be dealing with Nancy over and over again still?
That's a very good question, Mary Kay.
Thank you for the kind words.
Let me give you my response.
I don't think there's any doubt in anyone's mind, even Nancy Pelosi's mind.
She is no longer gonna be Speaker of the House.
Let me say it, let me be as clear as I can.
The Democrats are going to lose control of the House of Representative.
Anyone who says otherwise, they're lying to you.
They're lying.
Nancy Pelosi powers flows from the fact that she's Speaker of the House.
I'm gonna make another statement.
Nancy Pelosi will never be Speaker of the House again.
It's over.
It's done.
And you know what?
Her ego is so massive, she just can't be the minority leader.
And she just can't be a member of Congress.
And you can see how her attitude is, how she's doubled down.
She doesn't care.
Because she knows the writings on the wall.
She's done.
Nancy Pelosi is going to become anything else other than Speaker of the House.
The only question is who's going to replace her from the Republicans.
That's the million dollar question.
But the House is going Republican.
And again, I'll I want the Democrats to hear this.
I challenge you to deny that.
The Senate is still up in the air.
But if you can block the Democrats from controlling the House, let's have some real investigations.
Let's have some investigation into Afghanistan.
Let's have some investigations into this critical race theory.
Let's have some investigation into the Hunter Biden laptop.
Okay?
Let's have some investigation to calling parents domestic terrorists.
Okay.
Let's not have this charade of this January 6th ABC CNN Democratic commercial.
Let's have some real objective investigations.
Let's get the oil flowing.
Okay.
Let's give some families some relief.
So I'm putting pressure on the Republican Party as well.
But but the call of your question, Nancy Pelosi is history.
It's over for Nancy Pelosi.
And I'm glad you could because you know what?
She's been a she's a dinosaur.
And I want to be clear about this.
The Democratic Party, and I was a member of that party.
It used to represent the working class people.
Seriously, who does the Democrat who do they represent now?
They play a good game.
They lie a lot.
We care about you.
We want to help you.
Government dependency.
Look at the lines.
Look at the gas line.
Look at the shortages.
Look at the inflation rate.
Joe Biden is lying to America every day when he calls it the Putin gas hike.
That is an outright lie.
Look at the gas prices when he took office.
The last day of the Trump administration.
Look at the border crisis.
Look at the crisis that he created at the border after Trump left office.
Look at the story.
Look at the food lines, the shortages, supply chain.
Pete Boudiget, incompetent.
Likes to talk a lot, says nothing.
I want to say something right now, and I'm glad I've gotten this platform.
Kamala Harris, first of all, Joe Biden is the worst president in my lifetime.
And that includes Nixon.
He may have been a crook, but nah, boy.
As far as economically and domestic policy, no.
Joe Biden is the worst.
Jimmy Carter is very happy.
Now, Kamala Harris, the worst vice president ever.
Thus says absolutely nothing.
And my ego's in place, but I can sit here and say this.
If I ran against Kamala Harris, I defeat her.
She can't win.
Kamala Harris's political career is over.
She will never win an elected office ever again.
She's unlikable.
She suffers from the Hillary syndrome.
It's over for Kamala Harris.
And the idea of putting her putting Kamala Harris in that position because of her gender and her skin color is insulting.
The country deserves better.
That White House press secretary.
I don't care about her gender.
I don't care about her sex orientation.
That woman's incompetent.
I don't need a press secretary to read a book.
She's unqualified.
And that's what happens when you play gender politics.
And in my opinion, Joe Biden will not be re-elected.
Joe Biden is not running again.
He's horrible.
I just want to make sure people understand my position.
I mean, I have a golden platform here on the Sean Hannity radio program.
I want everyone to know what I am all about.
Let's do this.
You know, we're going to take more of your phone calls.
I got another big guess on the Leo Terrell wish list that Linda granted.
But we're going to take a break on the Sean Hannity Radio Show.
We're going to come back, give you more of my opinions, take more of your phone calls.
Sean Hannity Radio Show live.
Leo 2.0.
Fill in from Mr. Hannity.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Radio Show, Leo 2.0 here for Mr. Hannity.
Glad to be here.
And here, you know, I'll just tell you right now, it's been great.
Fun.
I got to make a correction.
I've got to make a big correction.
I was told in the beginning of the show, and this is why look at Twitter, look at social media, and someone said, Mr. Troy, you made a mistake.
You said Joey Jones is a former Marine.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
He's absolutely right.
I'm absolutely wrong.
So my first guest, Joey Jones, I called him a Fox News contributor and a former Marine.
I was wrong.
You're always a Marine.
I got it wrong.
See, that's the one thing about Republicans or Trump Republicans.
If they're wrong, they can admit it.
I was wrong.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
We're going to, I think I had this call here.
And for some reason, I misplaced it.
But let me continue with the discussion.
Because we're going to have a special guest coming up in a second.
You know, the most popular official, or no, let me rephrase.
The most popular person to run for president is not a politician.
President Trump.
President Trump is, in my opinion, the most popular individual to run for office in 2024.
I'm going to work my butt off for him.
I just want I want to be honest with you.
I'm going to spend the next two years campaigning for President Trump.
I hope he runs.
I think he will run.
But you know, there's no one even close to him.
No one.
But you hear the Democratic Kool-Aid and the Republican lemonade.
Oh, this guy is running.
This guy's running.
Go ahead, run against him.
You'll lose.
Because you because President Trump has something that the other candidates do not have.
The people.
You see, people don't understand it.
Trump puts the people first.
He puts Americans first.
That's why they like him.
If Trump is so unpopular, he'll lose.
But he's not.
Again, I said this a couple hours ago.
I beg you.
Our number is 1-800-941 Sean 1-800-941-7326.
Name me one politician who can call for a rally on a Saturday night.
You're going to give up your dinner.
You're going to give up your trip to the movies or to the to an amusement park, and you're going to go and sit there and wait five hours for someone.
There's only one guy I know who could do that.
Trump.
Name me another guy who can endorse a candidate, and he goes up 10 or 15 points.
Oh no, he's not perfect.
He's not 140 and 8.
I mean 140 and zero.
But the supermajority of the candidates, he endorsed, they win.
They win.
And what you have within the Republican Party, I'm going to say right now, they're jealous of him.
Because he doesn't go to the wine and cheese parties.
He puts you first.
Look at your gas prices when he was in office.
The border.
Any Americans were killed in the last 18 months of his tenure as president.
They don't like his personality.
Get over it.
He was effective.
Look what we have in the White House right now.
An embarrassment.
I mean, outright embarrassment.
His wife should be ashamed of herself.
Something is wrong with Joe Biden.
I'm not a doctor.
I won't play a doctor on the radio.
But something's wrong with him.
You know it.
Do not insult the American public's intelligence.
You have a man who does not know what's going on.
A man who's given cue cards to read from.
A man who has to follow the list.
A man who's told to leave the stage.
This is where you gotta set aside party loyalty and put country first.
Does Joe Biden represent the best interest of America?
No, the answer is no.
You have to be honest.
You have to be honest.
He does not represent the best interest of this country.
He's allowed the left wing to control him.
And they're trying to destroy this country.
It won't happen.
My next guest and I will talk about it.
Don't go anywhere.
We got 30 some odd minutes left.
This is the Sean Hannity Radio Program, Leo 2.0 in for Mr. Hannity.
We'll be right back with our special guest coming up.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.

Hey, welcome back to the Sean Hannity Radio show.
Not show, it's a radio show heard around the world, nationally, globally, internationally.
And the phone number is 1-800-941-Shawn.
That's 800-941-7326.
You can find Twitter, you can find Sean at Sean Hannity.
That's his Twitter account.
My Twitter account, Leo 2.0 at the LeoTrell, my website at the LeoTrell.com.
We're posting the radio show up on my website so you can hear it.
Again, the response From all of you have been fantastic as to reacting to this two and a half hour love fest.
We have a special guest coming, but I'm not going to tell you who it is until they arrive.
But let me do this.
Let me take a quick call from we have Barbara.
Is Barbara still there?
Kelly, uh Kenny by the door.
Let's go to Barbara.
Hi, Leah.
Hi, Barbara.
Um.
I wanted to ask this question for ages.
You're the perfect one to ask it to.
Yes.
Um, what can conservatives do to reach the black community?
What did what did President Trump do that made people understand that they were genuinely included in what he was doing?
Excellent question.
Excellent question.
Thank you for asking that question.
Because I'll tell you right now, what Trump did, he basically had policies that help Americans.
None of this target gender politics, race politics.
Under the Trump administration, the lowest unemployment the lowest unemployment rate for black Americans, for Mexican Americans, for women.
Okay?
I mean, there's a lie going around that blacks do not want law enforcement.
They hate the police.
That's a lie.
Look at these big cities.
Who's running the police department?
People of color.
The Democrats, Barbara wants to play the race car so bad.
That may have worked 40 or 50 years ago.
It doesn't work now.
And so what happens is, and I thank you very much for the call.
It's just that President Trump put Americans first, all Americans.
And that's why he's affected.
That's why I decided to be a Trump supporter.
And without further ado, I'd like to bring my next guest.
Because again, on my Leo Trell wish list, it was granted by Linda.
I asked for this guest to appear, and uh lo and behold, he's here.
So without further ado, I'd like to introduce uh Mr. Donald Trump Jr.
Uh hello, sir.
I hope we don't get into a fight because I'm a Trump supporter.
No, I think we're good with that, man.
Thank you very much, and thank you very much for making time to uh join us on the Sean Hannity Radio program.
Before we get to anything about what's going on, uh can you tell I I have the book, but you know, President Trump put out a book called Our Journey Together.
It's available now at 45book.com.
Can you tell the Hannity listeners what the book is all about?
You know what?
Honestly, we right now it's about sort of the nostalgia of what could have been for our country uh had we not let the nonsense transpire, had people not believed the media uh and all the lies told by them and the Democrats.
Uh, you know, it's a trip down memory lane when America was prosperous.
Uh and Donald Trump did that despite all odds.
So we put together a book available at 45books.com where, you know, it's the the photos, the pictures, the memories of all the successes that we had that no one would give my father credit for uh in the media, right?
They they would try to pretend that everything was a disaster and everything was falling apart, and now that it's actually happening, now Joe Biden's doing a wonderful job.
You know, he was handed a world-class economy, he was handed energy independence, he was handed peace deals in the Middle East, he was handed no wars in Europe, and all of a sudden within 18 months, this clown show, and again, it's not just Joe Biden, right?
This is Democrat policy that they're enacting, right?
They try to now they're trying to blame it on Joe.
Just like now, all of a sudden the Hunter Biden laptop matters because they need a scapegoat for their crappy policy.
Uh their policies did this.
Democrat policies did this to America.
They hate America, they despise Americans.
They will do anything but something that's actually valuable for the citizens of this country.
And they're proving this time and time again.
We told you it was gonna happen.
You got it.
I imagine the listeners of this show fully understood that for a moment, number one.
Uh, and so the book was really about showing Americans all the things we're so proud of as Americans, where you're allowed to actually be a patriot.
You're allowed to put America first.
Uh, you know, we we're the first country probably in the world uh that is deciding to put our citizens last and still expecting some sort of good result.
It's it's absolutely ludicrous, but again, this is what uh you know the media and the Democrats pushed, and now we're we're getting to reap the world win, unfortunately.
Uh unfortunately how how did the title, Our Journey Together come about?
How did we come up with how did you guys come up with the title?
Well, you know, really it w it wasn't just that, right?
My father didn't need this because he needed the job, Leo.
You know, it's not like you know, he was doing pretty good.
Uh He needed that job like a hole in the head.
But you know, from the 80s he was complaining about you know stupid politicians making decisions they have no business making, meaning they have no understanding, right?
They've never run a business.
They've never had a real job outside of politics.
They've never dealt with money or understandability or accountability or anything.
And he's been sick of it and started getting more and more vocal as we watched the sort of incompetence pile it on and pile on.
And finally he just said, you know, I have to get in this and again he didn't do this because he needed the job.
He did he did this because he needed to fix the country.
He believed in that and he believes in that still and the American people that he was fighting on.
So it was never about Trump.
It was about he's the only guy that has the guts to take on that establishment.
The only guy that will challenge them that doesn't care that's not beholden, you know, you even see it with the the big donors in the Republican class.
Maybe they want to maybe do something else.
Oh you mean they want control again.
They want to be able to dictate to you know a fake president that owes them favors for putting them in office exactly what they want happening.
That's not America first.
That's donors first.
I agree.
You see that so it was always about that and you see it starting to happen again now because you know in all fairness the donor class usually doesn't give a crap about the the average guy.
So my father did this for those hardworking Americans who've been you know getting screwed frankly you know by the donor class, by the political elite, by the left and the right alike.
And you know that's where I our journey together came from because you saw it.
And again his accomplishments are so much more impressive when you think about it that it wasn't just unprecedented hate from the media which was by far worse than anyone's ever received or from the left with multiple impeachments but also from the right from the people who refused to vote for him whether it's John McCain striking down Obamacare just because you know these guys aren't about America first.
They're about America last and lining their own pockets and ending up on board seats after politics and you know their donor class and uh you know the special interest so this was about Donald Trump's journey with his America with the Americans that he did this for.
A couple of points you and we're talking to Donald Trump Jr.
We were talking about uh president's latest book Our Journey together in my opinion everything you said has been spot on but I just want to highlight a couple of things.
In the four years Donald Trump other than Abraham Lincoln I don't think there's another president who accomplished as much in four years.
I think personally Operation Warf was one of his greatest accomplishments people say you couldn't get a vaccine done he got three of them but here's the part where you hit it right on the head.
You know we know the Democrats are jealous they they're envious of the president but that that that that that segment of the Republican Party who despise Trump he's the only candidate he's the only person on this in this country who can call for a rally on a Saturday night at seven o'clock in the evening.
You got 35, 4000 people there, maybe even more his endorsement means something he resonates with the American people and the Republican establishment they resent that they they they hate it.
You know what I mean again because they're used to if I write a big check I can have these guys you know barking like a trained pet like a dog you know they'll they'll bark at their command.
They could be the most powerful man in the world but you know we we know who's uh who's really in charge and so you know they don't like that they don't want someone like Trump who doesn't need their money who doesn't care who doesn't you know who has the support of the actual American people.
And that's really Leo the problem with the entire system.
You know it it's designed you know you saw that with the Republicans Democrats honestly with half the Republicans we have who needs Democrats they're basically the same thing.
Yeah right so you know we need something to actually go against that and you saw that all the things that he said he couldn't do all the things they tried to prevent him from being able to do more importantly right it's not like he had any help.
He was still able to get that done like imagine what he could do if like I don't know a couple Democrats actually worked with him.
Like if if the majority of the Republicans actually worked with him.
Like you know you think we'd be in the position we're in right now like you know blowing money out the wazoo theoretically we're in a recession.
We all know where it's going and it's only going to get worse.
Like and it's gonna hurt because the funny money that they've been printing that people have been spending all the freedoms they took away like all this stuff adds up Leo it adds up and you're gonna have to pay the piper and it's you know the Crown show Democrats are going to try to buy these votes and they're gonna you know they they've been doing it time and time again.
it doesn't make any sense.
People have to be awake, but maybe we needed that.
Just like we all probably at one stage in our time needed to be just sort of a disciplinarian parent to kick us in the butt and move us along.
You know, maybe we need Joe Biden, meaning we need such incompetence that everything gets exposed.
And everyone sees just how stupid it is, and finally then they'll start paying attention and not just blindly, you know, following the votes.
I know for you as a former Democrat, you probably you know you you know that all too well.
You've seen it.
But but you opened your eyes, you were willing to hear the other side.
Not definitely blindly follow what all the other people who have been bought and paid for for decades, whether it's within communities or within towns or all of these things who are not leading their people in the right direction.
They're doing what they're told because they're paid they're paid well to do that in one way, shape, or form.
I tell people, I tell people right every day.
I I I want to make sure people understand I'm a Trump Republican, not a Republican.
There's a massive distinction.
Now I would Donald Trump Jr., I will lose my radio credibility if I don't ask the question people want to know.
Anytime a Trump appears on radio or TV.
Uh there was talk that he might run, uh, he might make some announcement.
Uh I've had the privilege to meet your with your dad.
Is he running for president?
I you know, I don't know, but I I hope so.
And this is the reality is he's honest, you know, about if he wakes up one day and feels like Joe Biden looks, uh, he won't do that because he would never do that to the American people.
Uh we gotta we gotta be sure about that.
But man, like when you think about what he was able to do, the disaster is able to turn around after Obama, like, you know, who better than to fix a mess than someone who's actually done it, A, done it before, B, done it in the real world, C, been there, done that, and knows exactly now, you know.
Again, the one thing we didn't have last time was sort of the understanding of how it really worked.
You went in there thinking like, oh, these people must be aligned with us, right?
They're Republicans, they're probably on our page.
Not even a little bit.
Now you know that.
Uh now you have the receipts.
Uh and I think you know, that that makes it even easier uh to get things going and fixed.
And we're gonna need some fixing in the next not too distant future if we don't already badly.
Well, I'll tell you right now, if he runs, uh Leo 2.0 is committed uh 24-7.
The name of the book is Our Journey Together.
My guest, I want to thank you very much, Donald Trump Jr.
And uh listen, if he runs, I'm committed 24-7, and I thank you very much for joining us on the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
I appreciate it, my friend.
You have a great day.
Thank you.
That's Donald Trump Jr., the name of the book is Our Journey Together.
We're taking a little break, come back, talk about it, got a lot more to do.
This is the Sean Hannity Radio Program, Leo 2.0 in for Mr. Annity.
No, it's not me.
Yeah, it is me.
It's Leo 2.0, not Sean Hannity.
Sean has given me the privilege to sit in for him for three glorious hours, and it's been unbelievable.
It's been fantastic.
You listeners uh who've been listening across this entire country, you love this country, it's clear.
That's why you follow Sean Hannity, because he loves this country.
And you care about this country, and it's and you're passionate.
And I hope over the last three hours you've heard my passion and my love for this country.
I put America first.
Okay, and this country's in turmoil right now.
And we need leadership.
And I'll tell you right now, all my guests, the subject matter designed to show you how important it is to turn this country around.
We are in trouble right now.
And we're in a lot of trouble because there is failed leadership.
I want to be as clear as possible.
Democratic Party cares about the Democratic Party.
Care about the elite.
And I'll tell you right now, they lie.
They don't tell you the truth.
They don't tell you about the truth about inflation.
They don't tell you the truth about the crime in democratic cities.
They lie about the border situation.
They lie about the Hunter Biden laptop.
We had a country that was strong, prosperous, no inflation.
About four about two years ago.
And their dislike towards President Trump gave us this horrific economy.
This terrible chaos.
And the the loss, and let's never forget this.
The loss of 13 American service workers in Afghanistan.
That did not need to happen.
That's on Joe Biden's watch.
That's on his hands.
We lost 13 American service workers who never should have lost their lives.
And the hundreds who have been injured severely, permanently.
I love this country, folks.
I'm just going to tell you right now I love it.
That's why I left the Democratic Party.
And I'm so happy right now.
And I hope Trump runs for office because I'm going to support him 24-7.
And don't worry, that caller, Nancy Pelosi, her days are numbers.
She's going to be retired as Speaker of the House.
And she knows it.
So listen, uh, we're going to see each other again.
I can guarantee you that we're going to be seeing each other again either on Sean Hannity's TV program or me being a guest on his radio program.
I want to thank all of you.
I want to thank the staff, Linda, uh, Katie by the door, and Ethan, Aaron, everybody who made this possible, because without them, I could not have performed my duties as a host for Sean Hannity.
Please give me a good grade.
Tell Sean I was a good boy.
I was a good guy, did everything right, didn't cross the line, and I will see you in the immediate future.
I'll see you tonight.
