| This is an iHeart podcast. | |
| People that believe that the election was stolen and have a right to storm the Capitol, which is a substantial number of people in the Republican Party, are evil. | |
| In this historic moment, Democrats sided with the American people, and every single Republican in the Congress sided with a special interest in this vote. | |
| I don't think it's true he's out there less than his predecessors. | |
| I just think Donald Trump created an expectation of a president creating a storm every single day. | |
| Freedom is back in style. | |
| Welcome to the Revolution. | |
| Yeah, we are coming to your center. | |
| Going to play our guitars and sing you account your song. | |
| Sean Hannity, the new Sean Hannity show. | |
| More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America. | |
| This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines. | |
| Day number 373. | |
| All right, day 373, Americans abandoned by your president, Joey Biden. | |
| And of course, they've turned the page. | |
| They don't talk about them. | |
| They don't care. | |
| It's so pathetic. | |
| It's so, to me, it is repulsive in every way. | |
| Linda, you live in Pennsylvania. | |
| Is that correct? | |
| Yes or no? | |
| I do. | |
| Yes. | |
| So all of these fundraising letters have been going out from this guy that's running against Oz. | |
| What's his name? | |
| John Fetterman is his name, right? | |
| I call him Hoodie John. | |
| Hoodie John. | |
| This is what it says. | |
| It's got a picture. | |
| Hi, it's John Fetterman. | |
| It brings me no pleasure to ask, but are you familiar with the host of a little show on Fox News named Sean Hannity? | |
| I'm just asking because my Republican opponent, Dr. Oz, recently made an appearance on Hannity's radio show, and then he actually has a picture of me and Oz on my TV show. | |
| Just in case. | |
| Just in case. | |
| And if you couldn't guess already, my dudes, my dudes, my dudes. | |
| In defense of Hannity. | |
| And he's a very popular word here. | |
| Spent the entire time spreading BS. | |
| Ooh, look at this. | |
| He's calling. | |
| He said, I lied about him. | |
| BS lies and attacking me and our campaign. | |
| No, I told the truth about your positions, Johnny Boy. | |
| Anyway, another day, another MAGA Republican coming after Democrats like me. | |
| Can you please rush a donation of $25 right now to help me? | |
| Common sense fight back against future Fox News attacks. | |
| We've got to counter Sean Hannity with as much grassroots support as possible. | |
| Donate 25, donate 50, donate 35, donate 250, donate 100, donate any amount of money. | |
| You know, during the interview, Dr. Oz says yours truly is a radical, then said, I'm crazier than you think. | |
| Then he said that the filibuster would destroy the governance structure of the country. | |
| Look, I'm not going to stand for Hannity or Oz dragging my name through the mud. | |
| That's unacceptable. | |
| That's why I'm humbly asking you to help me fight back against Hannity's future attacks on Democrats. | |
| I'm going to do him one better. | |
| I'm inviting John Fetterman. | |
| Now, let me just tell you first about John Fetterman. | |
| Wait, wait, wait. | |
| Is this breaking news? | |
| We might need a sounder or something. | |
| Yeah, you might need a sounder. | |
| Just a breaking news sounder. | |
| Breaking news now. | |
| We got it. | |
| Anyway, breaking news now. | |
| Here's Sean Hannity. | |
| Little thing. | |
| So you got to know this about John Fetterman. | |
| And we've done a lot of research on Fetterman. | |
| Fetterman, it turns out Selena Zito did a really deep dive into him. | |
| Him. | |
| She's one of the best political writers in the country and covers Pennsylvania better than anybody, any writer, any place, anywhere ever. | |
| And we learned a lot about John Fetterman. | |
| John Fetterman, it turns out, you know, is a spoiled, lazy, trust fund brat with a tattoo and hoodies. | |
| That's all this guy is. | |
| This guy's never really had a real job his entire life. | |
| Never worked a real job. | |
| On top of it, he's dumb and he's intellectually lazy. | |
| And now, I do wish him good health. | |
| He had this stroke before the, well, I guess it was before the primary. | |
| He has campaigned a whopping 11 minutes in Pennsylvania while Dr. Oz has been to nearly 200 separate stops, I believe, since the primary was over, and he had a tough primary. | |
| It's your record, Johnny boy, Mr. Hoodie. | |
| Mr. Hoodie, I'm going to make an invitation to you. | |
| I'll give you three hours to get your ass out of your basement because you're trying to hide just like Joe Biden. | |
| And come on this program, Mr. Tough Guy. | |
| And if you got anything, any evidence that I've ever told a lie about you, bring it with you and we'll play it on the air. | |
| And I'll even do it one better. | |
| I'll offer you an hour on Hannity, the TV show. | |
| Millions of people watch every night. | |
| I'll give you the full hour and then you can explain the positions that you've taken over the years and your lazy lifestyle and how you lived off your mama and your dad and how you bought your sister's house for a buck and your positions on heroin and everything else in between. | |
| By the way, a poll came out this weekend. | |
| It is literally, let's see, a 0.5.5% difference. | |
| That's one poll. | |
| Trafalgar now has it within four points. | |
| They have been trying to suppress Dr. Oz's surge because all this idiot wants to talk about is anything but his radical positions. | |
| Let's just take a listen to Mr. Fetterman and I'm going to make a prediction. | |
| And Linda, you tell me if I'm wrong. | |
| This little trust fund spoiled brat who doesn't have the courage to come on this radio program, this trust fund spoil brat who's been living off mommy and daddy and every family member that walks around with his tattoos and hoodies, he's not going to come on my TV show. | |
| He doesn't have the, I don't think he has the ability to debate me. | |
| The 11 minutes were not particularly impressive when he was in Erie. | |
| Let's play a little bit of that first one first. | |
| We could have picked any part of Pennsylvania where we're going to start the campaign trail starting. | |
| Let me tell you, two years ago, I was talking to the media and saying, them votes, you want to know who's going to be the next president? | |
| Do you know what I said? | |
| I said, tell me one thing. | |
| Tell me who wins Erie? | |
| 25 of those counties, more votes. | |
| 25 of those 50, there's 54 red counties, more votes, more votes than Dr. Oz in those counties as well, too. | |
| I gave away the lieutenant governor governor in Pennsylvania, the only lieutenant governor in the history to do that. | |
| And you can count on us to eliminate the filibuster. | |
| Eliminate the filibuster and let's get some stuff done for America. | |
| All right, Mr. Tough Guy, spoiled, lazy, trust fund brat with a hoodie and a tattoo. | |
| Come on, Mr. Tough Guy. | |
| Come on the program. | |
| Let's debate your positions. | |
| Let's give a list of Fetterman's far-left positions. | |
| Let's start there. | |
| I don't support fracking. | |
| Think it's something that has to eventually go away. | |
| And I would like to see it transition out. | |
| I was on a panel with Secretary Wetzel earlier before the pandemic hit, and he said something remarkable that I agree with. | |
| He said, we could reduce our prison population by a third and not make anyone less safe in Pennsylvania. | |
| And that's a profound statement. | |
| We do need to reimagine how we are dispatched to these scenes in terms of what's the best tool to bring. | |
| I think public safety needs to be part of that, but could this be handled by somebody else? | |
| I'm just like, wait a second, what are you talking about? | |
| Like, you want to legalize heroin. | |
| And why are you talking? | |
| You know, why do you care about these things? | |
| And I think it's important that we as a society have all the options on the table, including a needle exchange, which is only technically legal in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and even safe injection sites that are being considered, like, say, in Philadelphia. | |
| Safe injection sites. | |
| Now, there's an ad been running about these safe injection sites and legalizing heroin. | |
| I think I know Pennsylvania pretty well. | |
| Eliminating the filibuster and ending fracking and safe injection sites and legalizing heroin are not exactly in touch with Pennsylvania. | |
| But, you know, Johnny, bring your hoodie, bring your tattoos, bring your spoiled trust fund barat, you know, crew with you and come in my studio and debate me. | |
| Here's his comments on heroin. | |
| All the pipes have been stripped out. | |
| Anything of value in here is gone. | |
| This is a cathedral to addiction because the people break in, they strip the copper out and they sell it for pennies. | |
| And this is what happens. | |
| What would our country look like if 30 years ago we didn't declare a war on drugs, but we declared a war on addiction and treated it like the medical condition that it is? | |
| How many millions of families' lives would not have been damaged or destroyed by seeing their loved ones get sent away for years and years through mandatory sentencing? | |
| Now, who'd want to live next to this? | |
| I don't know. | |
| But what's remarkable to remember is that families grew up here, you know, people that had jobs, people that had lives. | |
| And at one point in time, this was a beautiful home for some family. | |
| And that's changed. | |
| I'm John Fetterman, and I approve this message because something needs to change. | |
| Safe injection sites. | |
| He's another genius here. | |
| Come on, John. | |
| Come on the program. | |
| Eliminate the filibuster. | |
| You know, you look at this guy who he was a mayor of a small town. | |
| The 2010 census, he was the mayor of this town in Braddock, Pennsylvania, mayor there. | |
| And anyway, population of 1,721 people at the time, average income 23,050 bucks. | |
| Anyway, the U.S. Census there came back at 2,159. | |
| Between 2010 and 2020, the majority of his tenure, the population left his city, his town, by 21%. | |
| I mean, and they had a higher murder rate. | |
| Murder in big cities, since he's been lieutenant governor, are as high as 60% higher since he's been in office. | |
| This is a guy that doesn't support any restriction, any limits on abortion at all. | |
| He's one of these, you can have an abortion up to the moment of birth, guys. | |
| That's how radical this guy is. | |
| This guy wanted to get rid of not only fracking, you know, attack people for Ms. McGuinty, along with Governor Rendell, brought fracking to America. | |
| I never understand why she wants to run away from her history of fracking. | |
| Embrace what you've done. | |
| Well, embrace your lack of fracking because now he's trying to wobble because he knows how much it means. | |
| He's trying to appease his radical Green New Deal comrades. | |
| At the same time, he's trying to act like he's some type of moderate that he's not. | |
| Why doesn't he embrace his old position? | |
| He was the guy that literally penned in a column his endorsement of Bernie Sanders. | |
| Even the New Republic said he's part of Bernie Sanders' army of candidates of this progressive revolution from within. | |
| He ran as lieutenant governor to oversee the board and the criminal justice system, brags about how many criminals he wanted to get off the streets. | |
| I mean, this guy's record is, he's a Bernie Sanders leftist socialist. | |
| He supports the government takeover of health care. | |
| He said he agreed with reducing the state's prison population by a third. | |
| He bragged about releasing a record number of convicts, even calling prison populations to be audited for more people to be released. | |
| As the chairman of the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons, this guy, Fetterman, appointed a woman who apparently advocated for disarming the police and abolishing mandatory life without parole as a sentence for first and second degree murder. | |
| He supports sanctuary cities. | |
| He says that's a policy that I very much support. | |
| He says sanctuary cities statistically make everybody safer. | |
| Obviously, the sheriffs of Pennsylvania disagree with him. | |
| He supported all the stimulus money that caused the inflation we now have. | |
| He supported this latest Biden inflation scam. | |
| He signed a pledge to ban fracking, said, I don't support fracking at all, and I never have, and called it a stain on Pennsylvania. | |
| He said there's no limit on abortion, and he would find that appropriate. | |
| This is a guy that's lived off his parents' money. | |
| He's a spoiled brat trust fund kid that has never had a real job in his life except taking money. | |
| And how did he get the money for his house? | |
| Apparently, he bought it from a sister for a buck. | |
| Did you pay a dollar for your house, Linda? | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| I had the Fetterman deal. | |
| You got the Fetterman deal? | |
| I got the Federman hoodie, the Fetterman deal. | |
| It's wonderful. | |
| Did you get the Fetterman tattoos? | |
| Absolutely. | |
| All good Pennsylvanians have it. | |
| Hey, Johnny, stop being a little. | |
| If you want to talk about me and you want to raise money off my name, come on my show and do it. | |
| You'll have an audience bigger than you've ever had in your life. | |
| You'll have 20 million radio listeners. | |
| I'm offering you three hours of radio time, mono a mono, one hour of TV time. | |
| So bring your spoiled trust fund baby brat ass into my studios, radio and TV, and let's see how Mr. Hoodie, let's see how tough Mr. Hoodie with the tattoos really is. | |
| And then let you point out one lie I've ever told about you because I've never lied about you. | |
| You know what your problem is? | |
| I tell the truth about you. | |
| Can you please call Mr. Fetterman's office and make sure he gets this message? | |
| Although trust me, he's listening right now. | |
| It's a very warm invitation. | |
| It's not like he's out campaigning. | |
| He's only spent 11 minutes campaigning the whole time. | |
| And I don't think he's going to campaign. | |
| He's going to try and run a Joe Biden hide in the basement like the big spoiled brat that he is in a hoodie campaign. | |
| We can't let him get away with it. | |
| Hey, right now, businesses, everybody's struggling financially. | |
| Look, if I'm offering you the exact same service as ATT Verizon T-Mobile, as you can get from Pure Talk, using the same cell towers, the same 5G network, offering you that for about half off on average, family saving close to $1,000 a year, many families saving more, why wouldn't you take the deal? | |
| I'm going to throw in one month for free, no obligation, no risk whatsoever to you for the exact same service. | |
| You're saving a massive amount of money. | |
| What are you waiting for? | |
| Join the stampede. | |
| There's been hundreds of thousands of us. | |
| Anyway, dial pound 250 on yourself. | |
| Say the keyword, save now. | |
| Pound 250, keyword, save now. | |
| And for those of you that know the spoiled trust fund brat by the name of John Fetterman, call him and tell him, come on Hannity Show. | |
| Go on Hannity's show. | |
| He's offering you four uninterrupted hours radio and TV. | |
| Take him up on his offer. | |
| You want to bet he won't come? | |
| He's a gutless coward. | |
| That's my prediction and dog face pony soldier. | |
| That's just a few of the fighter moments you recall when you walk down Joe's memory lane. | |
| You can't make this up. | |
| And with Biden in office, you don't have to. | |
| This is the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Oh, Linda, you know what else I forgot to talk about with the spoiled trust fund brat with tattoos and a hoodie? | |
| This guy Fetterman. | |
| See if Fetterman will come on the program. | |
| I have a lot of questions about what he did in 2013. | |
| There's a poor guy that's out just jogging. | |
| He's not bothering anybody. | |
| Happens to be African-American. | |
| He's just jogging, you know, like people go out for a jog every single day. | |
| Fetterman thinks he's such a tough guy. | |
| He grabs a shotgun, claims that he heard gunshots not far from his home. | |
| No evidence that there were ever any gunshots. | |
| Gets in his truck and calls the police with his shotgun, confronts the guy with his gun and pulled the gun on the guy. | |
| Now, could you imagine if a conservative ever did that? | |
| And God forbid it happened to be somebody that was white that did that to an African-American, an innocent person just out for a jog, what the Democratic Party would be saying and how they'd be reacting to that. | |
| This is their Senate candidate from Pennsylvania. | |
| Come on, Johnny Boy. | |
| Don't be a spoiled Brat Trust Fund kid in a hoodie. | |
| Come on the show. | |
| Exposing government waste and abuse of your liberties every day. | |
| John Hannity is on right now. | |
| All right, 25 to the top of the hour. | |
| Happy Monday. | |
| If ever, is there a happy, if such a thing is a happy month? | |
| There's never a happy Monday. | |
| Nobody. | |
| Play fake news. | |
| That's not a thing. | |
| That's fake news. | |
| But you get back in the groove. | |
| It's not a big deal. | |
| Newt Gingrich has, I think it's bi-weekly, he has his Newt 360 podcast, but he also puts out a paper once or twice a week. | |
| It's really, it's must-reading for anyone that loves politics. | |
| And he's calling where we are right now the silly season, how the elite propaganda media, the Democratic allies, convincing themselves that there's now a dramatic turn in events, and this is no chance of being a wave election year. | |
| Now, I'm always cautious. | |
| Anyone that listens to this program knows I never take a vote for granted. | |
| We've had wave election years. | |
| I mean, Ronald Reagan probably was the biggest conservative wave in our lifetime, followed by Newt Gingrich in 94, Contract with America, followed by the Tea Party in 2010, doing better than people anticipated in 2014, Donald Trump in 2016. | |
| And I absolutely believe there can be a wave election. | |
| Now, the House will be easier. | |
| I was glad to hear that monies that I thought were, I had heard that last week that monies were not going to be going from the National Republican Party to, they've decided they're going to give it to this candidate, but not that candidate. | |
| And I'm like, no, you've got to compete in every race. | |
| And then I didn't like Mitch McConnell's comment about the quality of candidates. | |
| We have good candidates. | |
| We have a good message. | |
| They just need help. | |
| And if you're going to be leader, then go out there and help them win. | |
| And you help them win in a number of ways. | |
| One of them is raise as much money as you can because money, whether you like it or not, matters in elections. | |
| It's really that simple. | |
| And so I've got word that, in fact, that Republicans are on board in every race, and they're going to be competitive in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nevada, and in Arizona. | |
| And they're even going to make a play in Colorado and the state of Washington. | |
| So that made me feel better. | |
| I'm glad to hear it. | |
| One of the things Newt points out, though, that we're in a silly season, what he's talking about is if you read these polls, this happens every two and four years. | |
| Democrats and their friends and allies in the media mob, they want to depress people's hopes and their chances of winning. | |
| They try to do it for two main reasons, that people won't get their hopes up and maybe not be enthusiastic about a candidate or whatever. | |
| The other thing is to stop fundraising. | |
| So they do it on purpose. | |
| And he pointed out the history of this. | |
| And in 1980, you know, in the August part of that year, Reagan quote was reportedly, all the reporting in the media was he was underperforming. | |
| He went on to win the biggest electoral victory landslide against an incumbent president in American history. | |
| And they did the same thing in 94. | |
| Nobody thought Newt Gingrich, the contract with America, was going to work. | |
| I was the MC that night. | |
| It worked. | |
| For the first time in 40 years, Republicans took back the House. | |
| That's wave two of conservatism. | |
| Wave three, nobody thought Donald Trump, the media, the Democrats, they were laughing. | |
| Donald Trump can't win. | |
| He can't be president. | |
| Well, lo and behold, he beat the Clinton machine and he became president. | |
| And in 2020, if you recall, you know, House Republicans, they were supposed to lose 25 seats. | |
| They gained 15. | |
| They nearly gained a majority, which would have been great. | |
| Now, it's definitely harder in the Senate because you got to hold Florida with Senator Rubio. | |
| I think we'll do that. | |
| People have, in the media, they want you to think Herschel Walker's campaign is dead. | |
| It is not. | |
| Herschel Walker is going to run a competitive campaign in Georgia. | |
| And I believe Herschel Walker's got a great chance of winning as long as the Republican Party in Georgia unites and runs as one party. | |
| It's critical. | |
| At this point, you got to put aside petty differences because the alternative is, you know, a climate alarmist cult member that's going to vote with Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden and the squad every single time and Raphael Warnock in that case. | |
| I think Tim Scott wins in South Carolina. | |
| I think Bud has very good chances in North Carolina. | |
| I think, you know, we've got to be careful what they're trying to do to Ron Johnson and Dr. Oz and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, respectively. | |
| Two polls come out show Oz has closed the gap dramatically, but it's really too early in this process to determine who's up, who's down. | |
| One thing that nobody counted on, the New York Times seemed freaked out about it, is that there's apparently a new conservative nonprofit group has $1.6 billion that they're going to be investing in these races all across the country. | |
| And apparently, the new political group is controlled by Leonard Leo. | |
| We know who Leonard Leo is, an activist who used to his connections with Republican donors in the past. | |
| Anyway, quote, it's high time for the conservative movement to be among the ranks of George Soros and other left-wing philanthropists and go toe-to-toe in the fight to defend our Constitution and their ideals. | |
| They quoted Mr. Leo in this piece. | |
| He's right. | |
| Now, for a lot of people, if you want to win, you can't listen to the media and let them deflate your optimism and your hope that we can get this country on the right track again. | |
| You've got to believe that our conservative principles are better because it's proven better. | |
| Nobody thought in 18 months we'd abandon borders that were under control, that we'd abandon energy independence, that we'd have record high energy prices, record high inflation, that we'd ever go about implementing this, defund, dismantle our police departments, no bail laws. | |
| Nobody thought that would happen. | |
| CRT, gender identity, now leading, you know, one of the leading causes of the left in this country in schools where our kids go. | |
| You know, they ought to be focused on reading, writing, math, science, history, computers, and, you know, important things that actually matter, especially and let the parents instill the values at home the way it should be done. | |
| I'm even open to if kids want to opt in and parents want to opt in to an after-school program on CRT or an after-school program on gender identity or any of the LBGTQ, whatever, do it after school, after they've learned reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers after that. | |
| Anyway, the greatest evidence that what I'm saying is true, and even the Washington Post points it out, is Democratic candidates in every single key race in every battleground state, they're not asking Biden to come, and they're avoiding him if he does go. | |
| They don't want to be around this guy. | |
| That tells you everything you need to know. | |
| That's all you need to know. | |
| And Biden's, this agenda gets worse every day. | |
| There's not a single Democrat in all these states I mentioned, bellwether states for the U.S. Senate, that's not going to go along with climate alarmist cultism. | |
| You know, Fetterman against fracking, Fetterman against the Keystone XL pipeline. | |
| Well, that happens to be the lifeblood of a big part of Pennsylvania's economy. | |
| And that would be the worst thing that Pennsylvania could do. | |
| You know, just like Joe Manchin finally giving in, even he gave into the climate alarmist cult to the detriment of every person that lives in the state of West Virginia. | |
| It's not the Inflation Reduction Act. | |
| It's the raise taxes on the poor, middle class, and people on fixed income act. | |
| A big difference there. | |
| You know, listen to how out of touch they are. | |
| We had this idiot grand home. | |
| Remember, how are you going to reduce energy prices? | |
| She starts laughing. | |
| Anyway, she's out there again this weekend. | |
| She's on Fox News Sunday saying that the Democrats' $437 billion climate and health care legislation bill, in other words, their Inflation Reduction Act, which was a lie from the beginning, will provide thousands of dollars in tax rebates for lower and middle class Americans to weatherize their homes. | |
| If you're low income, you can get your home entirely weatherized through the expansion from the bipartisan infrastructure laws, a significant expansion. | |
| You don't have to pay for anything. | |
| If you want heat pumps, insulation, new windows, that is covered. | |
| If you're a moderate income today, you can get 30% off the price of solar panels. | |
| These are the same out-of-touch idiots that were telling us to go out and buy electric cars. | |
| Now, the problem with an electric car over a gas-powered car is it's about, on average, $20,000 more. | |
| And they don't talk about what Mother Earth has to suffer as a result of building these batteries because they use this big, heavy equipment that uses diesel to dig into Mother Earth to mine the cobalt and mine the nickel and mine the manganese to build the batteries that have to be powered by the power grid. | |
| All right, when we come back, Jared Kushner will join us. | |
| Rare interview. | |
| He doesn't do many of them. |
