And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.

Hey, welcome back, everybody, to The Sean Hannity Show.
in for sean on this wednesday before christmas and my heart goes out to you folks in the midwest i mean i'm seeing these reports around blizzards that can be hitting everywhere from minnesota chicago through ohio and just it's hard enough to get around during the holidays and now you got to deal with this nonsense hopefully it clears by the time you're ready to leave for christmas eve which is saturday and obviously sunday christmas But at the same time, good luck to you because it's it's hard enough to get around.
I know, having traveled recently uh in normal circumstances, and this is just gonna be uh nuts uh heading into the next couple days, particularly across the Great Plains and the upper Midwest.
Anyway, let's go south, shall we?
And that's Sarah Carter.
She is a Fox News investigative reporter who is at the border at McCallan, Texas, a place that Joe and Kamala Harris have never been, by the way.
Kamala Harris, of course, being the border czar, Joe Biden only being the commander-in-chief and president of the United States, and for whatever reason, well, we know the reasons, uh, they can't be bothered to look at this crisis that is now a full blown catastrophe.
By the way, Sarah has a new podcast series out.
It's called the Dark Wars, and she's been exposing uh a topic that we don't talk about enough.
And you know, I was down at a conference recently, uh, an event in Florida, uh, where human uh trafficking, sex trafficking particularly, uh is a big big deal uh to to some of the folks that uh that I was speaking to as far as an issue that they told me that the American media is not remotely covering enough, but not just sex trafficking, but on the dark wars, Sarah Carter's new podcast.
She also talks about drugs and cartels that Biden and his administration uh have not addressed in any way, shape, or form.
There's so many layers to this story, Sarah.
And I just want to know when Title 42 goes away, what are we gonna see?
Well, I think what we're seeing right now, double, triple, quadruple that.
You know, see these numbers, see these numbers because we've got people on the other side that have been waiting now for weeks, for months to come across, some of them for years, uh, to get across when Title 42 goes away.
But remember, Joe, they're just letting people in anyways.
This is what we're talking about on the Dark Wars.
Border Patrol and our agents are trying to do the best job that they can.
They're doing that without the support of the federal government, without the support of the Biden administration, and it has been extraordinarily difficult for them.
So let's say immigration and customs enforcement can kick somebody back to Mexico or remain in Mexico, is in place.
The majority of people are actually not being sent back.
The ones that are being sent back are few and far between.
The others are just being released, and I see that every day from either when I go to San Antonio Airport or the El Paso airport, and you get on the plane, and half your plane is filled with people that are flying to various states, they're carrying their manila envelopes in their hands or their bags.
Um, many times the people just disappear all together because our border patrol agents and our law enforcement, like Texas BPS, are so busy trying to deal with the big flood of people that are coming in, like what you're seeing right now in El Paso.
We've seen here in uh Mission Texas, uh and McCallan, Texas, over the last several years daily.
Um, but now we're seeing a thousandfold, right?
Of people trying to come in.
Um, yeah, so it's it's really uh intense.
I gotta tell you, for all of them.
Uh there's been a lot of low morale, especially with the border patrol agents.
That's something that was discussed here yesterday at a town hall meeting where people were talking about the low morale, the higher numbers in suicide rates among our border patrol agents, which is devastating.
Um remember, our agents are putting themselves on the line 24-7 and their families.
A lot of times when people come across that border, uh they're the first line of defense, right?
Is our agent.
So if there's hypothermia right now, it's winter.
We haven't seen this cold of a winter in a while.
And come this weekend, uh, you know, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, the temperatures here along the Rio Grande are going to drop into the low 20s.
Um, and that is unheard of about here.
And you want to think about the elements where you have just wild intertwined vines inside these really thorny trees along the Rio Grande.
Sometimes I call it the devil's playground because it's just this, you know, really intense environment.
Uh, and you know, the people that are coming across, they're spending all night out there.
And if they go into the water, uh, you know, the water is temperatures have dropped.
So they're preparing right now.
I was talking to border patrol agents this morning.
They're preparing for people to have, you know, hypothermia, they're preparing for medical conditions.
Again, where are the resources, you know, uh, and where are the resources for the American people that are living in these communities that have to deal with this all the time.
And we're talking with Sarah Carter, Fox News and the new podcast host of the Dark Wars.
And I'm excited.
Yeah, you should be.
Uh well, certainly lots to talk about, right?
It's not like you're gonna have trouble filling your rundown, that's for sure, uh, given everything that's happening there.
I I'm wondering, Sarah, you know, we were both on on uh Hannity Show last night on Fox, uh Pete Hexcott uh was filling in uh you're on right before I was, and I saw you down there, yeah, and it is uh definitely getting cold there.
You're looking at the 20s uh starting on Thursday night, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Uh that that is something that's gonna complicate this even more.
But how many other reporters like you, correspondents?
Uh are you seeing the big CBS and MBC, ABC, CNN uh news trucks down there, or do you feel like you and Bill Melusion are are alone uh at the party, so to speak?
Sometimes Bill Belusion and I are really alone at the party, kind of like a floating on islands out here, you know, trying to tell the story.
Right now, a lot of the reporters uh from you know other news agencies are down in El Paso.
Um I chose to come here because uh I understand how the cartels operate, what they're thinking.
Um they have a lot of people uh obviously getting ready to cross in El Paso.
Uh the the El Paso buttress is Juarez, uh, is a very dangerous uh, you know, uh city if you don't understand it and know it, and the cartels definitely have a hold there, the Juarez Cartel.
Um, but out here we're seeing a lot of momentum.
We're seeing a lot of people build up.
We've got over 10,000 people in Reynosa right now just waiting in a park.
They're all camped out.
Uh, this does not include all the other people that are hanging about and milling about with different smuggling operations.
Um in Brownsville, which is about an hour from me, uh it buttresses with Matamoros, Texas, and uh also, you know, uh one of the most dangerous uh cities, uh Reynosa and Matamoros as well in Mexico, one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico, and there's over 8,000 people uh in a park there camping out at night right on the US Mexico border.
Um so this is gonna get very intense here.
Um we might see a slowdown just because Title 42, right now with these groups, they were waiting to push through.
We're not sure if everybody knows, and I don't think they do based on people that I've talked to that just came across this morning that uh Title 42 has been put on hold up until after Christmas, but not because the Biden administration wants Title 42.
I think they are trying to mitigate, um, and you would know this better than anyone, Joe, uh, their public appearance, right?
Of what this is gonna look like.
And uh, you know, with the holidays around the corner, and look, just this morning, just this morning, um, I was out there and in the bushes, right next to the National Guard I was with and our DPS, we didn't even see an entire group of people.
They were laying low in the bushes.
They were there was a two-year-old child in the arms of a woman.
Uh the baby, obviously, this toddler looked exhausted, looked sick, the weather is bad.
And I keep asking people, and I bring this up all the time in the dark wars, um, and this is on the humanitarian side of things.
If you really care about the migrants, if you really care about the people that are coming to our country, if you think all of them are seeking a better life, or maybe half of them, whatever, there's children there, then you'll want this to stop.
This open border policy, it like feeds the beast, right?
It feeds the beast.
It's like the wild west.
You you have hundreds of billions of dollars landing in the hands of the drug cartels and the human traffickers, which in my opinion should be considered terrorist organizations because they're killing Americans and they're killing Americans now with counterfeit pills uh that contain pure fentanyl in it.
So in my opinion, they are terrorist organizations and they're working with our enemy, the Chinese.
Chinese Communist Party is well aware of all the precursor chemicals that are being sent to Mexico.
So you have now this m these massive uh transnational criminal terrorist organizations just filling up their coffers, right?
And wandering the money back to the United uh back from the United States through the Chinese banking system through other banking systems in Central America, and how are we going to be able to handle this?
It's already out of control.
But we have a shadow government in Mexico that's literally running operations, buying people out, buying them on both sides of the border, and we have an enemy literally at our doorstep, and we are allowing this enemy to surround our nation.
So the question that I have to ask is why the only job that President Biden has to do, his only job really is to protect the national security of the United States of America.
Period.
End of story.
And he's not doing it.
And in fact, he's leaving the border wide open.
So my question is why?
Why is his administration putting our lives in danger, putting the lives of these innocent migrants in danger, and filling the pocket of drug cartels and human trafficking organizations?
And I can't seem to get an answer on that.
And and the answer is not a right one.
Right, Sarah, and we're talking to Sarah Carter, Fox News.
I I think Sarah, who's down at the border, by the way, McKellen uh, Texas.
Uh I think I I I was looking for it in an interview that the president and Biden has only done one interview since the midterms.
And I thought this question would come up from the interviewer because she's that good of a journalist and just wants to get to the truth.
But Drew Barrymore, the actress couldn't get around to that.
That's literally the only interview that Joe Biden has done since the midterm.
Drew Barrymore, 8.
I mean, come on.
But uh look, I I I I gotta play you this clip because you you talk about accountability and particularly the DHS secretary and Alejandro Majorcus.
Uh here's what he says is the current state of the border.
Let's play that cut go.
I've heard you and the judiciary commiss committee recently in the summer testify that the border is secure.
Secretary Myorkus, do you continue to maintain that the border is secure?
Yes, and we are working day in and day out to enhance its security, Congressman.
Thanks to have you have remarkable.
I get it.
I just wanted to make sure that that's that still is your uh your assessment.
Yep, that's on the record.
The the border is secure.
Uh the press secretary and cringe Jean-Pierre, she has said the same as has Joe Biden, as has the borders are in Kamala Harris, and they continue to get away with it.
I I uh can I play a game with you real quick, Sarah, if you don't mind, all right?
Right.
All right.
Let's play a game.
Let's do it.
I don't know how good I'll be.
You'll probably beat me at this game.
Okay.
Whatever it is, you're gonna beat me, I think.
Okay, quote, all Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed by the large number of illegal aliens entering our country.
It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit this kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it, unquote.
Which president said that.
Oh, you're gonna give me these.
Was that Obama?
No.
All right, right.
Well, you're close.
It was his uh Democratic predecessor and Bill Clinton.
I mean, we're just talking like thirty years ago, that was the Democratic president saying that illegal immigration is wrong, and we must do everything to stop it, and I'm gonna do everything I can to deport every single last illegal person in this country.
Boy, things have changed, Sarah.
I'll give you the last 10 seconds.
Let me tell you, things have changed, and it's a dangerous time.
This is a national security risk to all of us.
As Americans, we have to let our lawmakers know that we will not put up with this, that there's something that needs to be done, and we need to do it now.
Look, we got to take the power back into our own hands, and that's at the ballot box, and that's contacting our lawmakers and telling them this is unacceptable.
That is Sarah Carter.
You have a Merry Christmas.
Hopefully you get a little time off down there and get out of the cold and get get somewhere warm.
But you've been doing great reporting.
We really appreciate it, Sarah.
Yeah, thank you so much.
All right, indeed.

Your calls next.
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.

Wow, feel like going clubbing tonight with these music selections.
Can we just talk about the music for a minute?
Yes.
Let's address the big old elephant with music on it in the room.
Uh-huh.
So the issue is the song selections you have made, we firmly agree with.
So we'll start on an even playing field.
Yes.
However, the notification of the songs you wanted were given very late in the hour.
Well.
And every time we try to play them in a commercial place because they're not prepped, so we don't have them on a CD or something that can be played through the board.
So we're playing them from one line.
Uh-huh.
And thus the rub.
So you get a little jingle jangle with a little, you know, I don't know what that was.
Ace of bass.
It was a disaster.
Ace of bass.
I'm just saying.
Yeah, it's a it's a big problem.
It was a night at the rocks, Barry, and I apologize.
All right.
Well, do you think maybe now with I'm gonna give you guys You're gonna give me two minutes, I'm gonna warm it up.
You're gonna warm up?
It's gonna be great.
What do you got?
Mariah Carey?
I might.
All right.
It's Christmas.
You're supposed to be surprised.
You think she still regrets like the whole Jeter thing didn't work out, Dark?
Oh my god, I think she regrets a lot.
You think so?
Yeah, Mariah's got a long list.
True, but her song's number one in the country.
She is a phenomenal performer, and she is a phenomenal voice.
No question.
Personal life, none of my beeswax.
It needs a little work.
You fought over a guy with her, didn't you?
Absolutely not.
I would never admit to it on my radio.
Something's going on here.
There's there's a story we don't know about, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.
All right.
Who would you want me to take, Sarah?
Who said it was a great uh line two is phenomenal.
Okay, so let's go.
We got about 345 calls here.
Let's go with line two.
Two.
Mike, New Hampshire.
How are you today?
You know, my corns are killing me, my back's a little stiff, but uh I'm I'm I'm hanging in.
How about you?
I'm doing okay.
All right, good to hear.
I got out of I got out of work today, and I made a phone call to Gene Shaheen's office, and I made a phone call to Maggie Hassan's office.
Your senators.
Oh yeah, both.
Yeah.
Senator and Congressman.
So I asked a simple question.
I said, how many pages have you read or have the Congressman's read?
Umbody had an answer for me.
So I asked them when they get an answer.
I'd like it in writing, so it's on record.
How many pages they read before they voted for it?
And it was a number that probably uh when you multiply a number by zero, it's the number that is ultimately the answer, which is zero, right?
Right.
Correct.
Oh man.
Well, good good at least.
You know what?
Keep keep on them.
All right.
That does what you gotta do.
Call these people and say, Well, what's going on?
You're gonna pass a bill you didn't even read.
But let's call out Hassan's office.
Hason, Senator Hassan, and your little people there that like to hang up on their constituents.
That's not your job.
They hung up.
I mean, at least so rude.
It's a whole bowl of wrong.
I I don't like it one bit, but I like the fact that Mike took it took control there.
Back with more in a moment.
Hey, during this Christmas season The Great.
Late, unfortunately.
Ronnie Specter.
Now this is Christmas right here.
I don't know what it is.
It's just something about the Ronettes.
You just think of going to your grandma's house when you're young.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm aging myself a little bit, but I I'm a classics guy.
What can I say?
But again, Mariah, I guess, is the queen, despite Linda's personal edict against her.
I don't quite know what's going on with that, but we'll talk about that another time.
She's just smiling at me at this point, ready to pounce at any moment.
We're gonna change gears here for a second, ladies and gentlemen, because yeah, look, uh, Christmas Eve now.
What are we two, three days away?
It's like Christmas week.
I think probably a lot of you who have at least the opportunity, unlike me, will probably take off, I would imagine Friday, and then just coast until New Year's.
You hope you pray.
If you have that kind of job, you know.
I work personally between Christmas and New Year's more than I do the entire year.
Because there's opportunities, everybody's on vacation.
They're like, all right, hey, Joe Gotcha, Fox News contributor.
You want to co-host the five?
And I'm like, hmm, number one show on cable.
Sure, why not?
So I'm gonna do that uh sometime over the break between Christmas and New Year's, and there's like a whole bunch of other shows that otherwise I'm on, but now I'm gonna be on a lot, apparently.
So you don't say no, besides.
Now there's Joe in his basement during the campaign, Linda.
I literally have a studio in my basement.
So it's not like that big of an effort to walk down in the jammies and uh do a five, six minute hit here and there.
Even though for the five, I do have to sit at an actual table with other people.
So that'll be a good one.
Ethan wants to know if the reason that you have a studio in your basement is because you're running for president.
Wow.
I ran for president once, Ethan, right?
Who was part of this great team?
And it was my senior year at Wayne Valley High School in New Jersey, and I was right there, man.
I had a lot of like enough mail in ballots.
I had the soccer girls vote, all right.
I was in the football team.
I had most of that vote, and then a so-called friend of mine decided to jump in and we split all those votes, and then this guy, Tom Begley, that's B-E-G-L-E-Y, who's probably listening right now, somehow snuck in and stole the election.
Not literally.
How many days did it take to find out the election results?
Well, here's the thing, right?
We had paper ballots then, right?
So it took about, I don't know, six minutes, okay?
And then we we had our winner.
And then this guy, vaguely, all right, when the prom song comes up that we all vote on also through paper ballots.
Somehow, we all wanted uh a song called Um, it was from uh Rod Stewart and Alphaville, uh Forever Young, right?
So we thought, all right, that that's a pretty good song.
We wanted John Bo uh Bon Jovi's uh You Lost More Than That In My Back Seat, baby, whatever song that is, uh never say goodbye.
But then because of that line I just said, the principal said, no, that's not happening.
So censorship did happen back then.
Were you a DJ ever, like a music DJ?
Yeah, I was your I mean, your recall of song titles is impressive.
It's it's crazy, right?
Yes, it really is.
I'm being totally serious.
So in college, I would do a mixtape and then have like a whole like DJ table and everything for like fraternity parties and then act like I was changing music when it was just on one tape the entire day.
The original Spotify.
Exactly.
And then like one beer would become like seven, and and I'm just they're like, You sure you want another one?
You're working.
I'm like, yeah, I can handle it, no problem.
So that was uh that was fun.
That was the ultimate scam.
Anyway, I think I've gone off on a tangent.
Oh, yeah.
So the prom song in in high school, so we we all vote on and we like we want this Alpha Ville song forever young.
And then suddenly, hold on to the night by Richard Marks wins.
And when it's announced, everybody's looking at each other like, did you vote for that?
I didn't vote for that.
Well, our our president, thankfully, he fixed the vote.
This happened well before any, you know, any of this stuff that we're talking about now, right?
And because his girlfriend at the time, that was their song.
So he said, Don't worry, honey, I'll take care of it.
And it got like two votes, and somehow that became the song, and it was later revealed that this whole thing was rigged.
So uh, yeah.
Election integrity, trust me.
I know all about it, my friend.
Believe me.
Sonny, I want to go through my uh top five Christmas movies of all time.
Okay.
Thank you for the music.
Appreciate it.
That's very tranquil.
Let's go to sleep right about now.
Uh, but anyway, and it's not, you know what, everybody goes with it's a wonderful life at number one.
I'm not doing it.
Can't do it.
At number five, Linda, you you chime in here as well.
Home alone.
Do you watch that with the uh with your Liam?
I have a leader of the.
This is Christmas.
We just did.
He thought it was the greatest thing ever, right?
Historical.
Yeah.
Laugh the whole, he actually belly laughed.
I've never, it was actually really fun to watch it with him.
Peshy, right?
Oh my god.
Daniel Stern with the spider on the nose and everything.
That scene freaks me out.
Could you ever see I know I don't like spiders either?
Could you ever see as a parent leaving a kid at home?
I know they had like 25 kids in that movie.
It was like the uh the Duggers, right?
But uh seriously, I don't know how you ultimately leave a kid at home.
And not even like you get to the airport and you realize he's not there.
Oh no, like on the plane, the mother realizes.
The best part is when she looks at her husband and she goes, I feel like I'm forgetting something.
Yes.
He's like, that's the garage door.
Yeah, yeah.
I closed it.
I clo it's fine.
It's totally everything's fine.
She's like, yeah, I think that's it.
He's like, that's totally it.
And John Candy, the Polka King of the Midwest.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
Who, if he wasn't an actor, would be the Polka King.
Yeah, he probably was before he made it.
That's right, yes.
So uh Home Alone was 1990, so we're talking now 32 years old, which is really freaky, you know.
Uh, but then the best part is you have to suspend reality then for the next 90 minutes because any parent, the minute they land in Paris, that's where the family was going, simply calls the police.
Which I believe they tried to do.
Yeah, they call the police.
The police actually go to the house, they check on the house, they knock on the door, they say nobody's home, tell her to check and counter kids again.
Yes, exactly.
In other words, complete apathy.
And I only I only know this because of the fact that I literally watched it last week because my son was homesick.
I mean, well, it's gotta be in 1990, a nine million dollar home.
So you'd think there'd be a little priority around the it's bananas, it's huge.
Yes, yes, exactly.
So whatever, you gotta suspend reality for a little bit, but either way, watch it again, particularly if you have young kids because it's a classic, and that's how it makes the conch list, because only five movies make this.
Number four, I'm going elf.
Have you ever seen Elf with the great Jimmy Kahn?
Um, I have.
Um I'm not gonna lie.
Yeah.
A little bit of an obsession with this movie.
Really?
I every time it's one of those movies, and you'll probably agree with this.
You see it and you sit down and you watch it, even if it's for a few minutes, you're like, Oh, I love this part.
No, I love this part.
I mean, he is historical in that movie.
So sometimes that's Will Farrell, and sometimes when you put on a movie, that's an excuse for you and the significant other to, oh great, I just bought 90 minutes for ourselves, right?
In that case for Elf, though, I will join the kids and watch it, even though I've seen it like six or seven times.
Agreed, 100%.
It's hilarious, it's heartwarming, right?
And it's got a lot, a lot of heart.
Uh, and I keep saying heart in this situation, but that that's what it is.
And as you say, Will Farrell.
Perhaps his greatest performance out there.
I have to say though, Jimmy Khan also really funny.
In terms of um the Zoe D. Chanel.
No, no, no.
John Favreau.
Oh, John Favreau.
He's the pediatrician.
Yes.
Hysterical.
Great cast overall.
And that movie now will be 20 years old.
No, it's not.
Yeah, 2003.
So as of next year that that comes out.
I didn't look it up, but look it up, but I'm pretty sure it's 2000.
Oh my gosh.
All right, number three.
All right, we get to the classics, and that's obviously it's a wonderful life.
Now, here's the thing about that movie, which is on NBC every every Christmas Eve, right?
So that becomes a tradition after you open the presents and if you open presents on Christmas Eve, then you sit down, you watch a wonderful It's a wonderful life.
It takes you up to about 11 o'clock.
94% of that movie is utterly depressing, right?
You're not exactly feeling good about yourself when you're watching it.
You know what's gonna happen at the end.
Uh then Donna Reed and all the kids they embrace him and everything gets saved, and then the daughter says, uh, what's that with the angel gets his wings?
Every time a bell rings, an angel gets a wings.
It's his wings, yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
And then it ends with everybody singing, you're like, I feel good, but for 84 minutes, it's not exactly a happy experience.
I saw that movie for the first time, and I am not making this up last year.
Are you serious?
I have never seen this movie.
Uh-huh.
Never saw it, never.
I was like, what is all the hubbub about?
You know, and I love Jimmy Stewart.
Fantastic.
And I love classic movies, but I just never saw it.
And I saw it and I was like, God, this is depressing and sad.
Yep.
But honestly, it was the time.
You know, it it really was.
That's true.
I think it's a little bit of a reality check, honestly.
I think we love black and white, and we love the small town, the way things look.
It's more for the visuals and the feel than maybe the story.
Well, it's also when people actually cared about other people.
That too!
Exactly right.
We don't have that anymore.
No, no.
Jimmy Stewart, the character, would be uh bankrupt, right?
Thrown out, and he'd be working at uh Walmart somewhere, right?
Yes, and then Donna Reed would like leave him for Tom Brady, you know, 100%.
Yeah, I can totally see that.
Let's see.
Number two.
I'm going back somewhat modern again, quite a run here, by the way, now that I think about it.
If Home Alone was 1990, the year before that was 1989, and this was Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation.
Now this was number three in the series.
By the time you get to number three in any series, particularly comedies, they usually suck.
But this ended up being maybe the best of the vacation movies.
You can make an argument, right?
I've never seen it.
I'm sorry, the microphone went up.
Did you say I know?
I'm like the w ask anybody who knows me.
I am the worst when it comes to anything other than news.
I just don't watch it.
Well, you know what, Ethan?
If sh if if Linda never saw It's a Wonder of Life until last year, this is very plausible.
I got about another 30 years to catch up with.
That's true, you do.
Pursuing the decade.
Or you got three nights before Christmas.
You can't watch it after, of course, but maybe tonight you watch it.
Maybe I will.
You think you should.
I'm gonna be in traffic for quite a while.
Just bring it up on my phone.
Right, exactly.
It's totally safe, like we were talking about before.
Exactly.
Yeah, you won't crash on anybody or anything like that.
But uh again, it's Chevy Chase, it's Griswold at his finest, and uh, I don't have to fill in the blanks there, just everything that could go wrong.
Does everything that we can relate to as somebody hosting a Christmas, particularly with family coming in and actually staying with you.
But number one on the list.
Are we able to transition out of this in any way, shape, or form?
Should we play a clip and see if people can identify it?
That's a good idea.
Let's do that.
All right, here is Joe Conscious.
Number one Christmas movie of all time.
Go.
This time, John Wayne does not walk off into the sunset with Grace Kelly.
Scary Cooper.
Enough jokes.
Hans Gruber responds.
And people say, and I'm not going through this again, all right, because this is not Joe Conscious opinion.
It is a fact.
All right.
It is a fact that Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
Because the heist at the Nakatomi Plaza, remember what what the premise is.
It's Bruce Willis, New York City cop, goes all the way across country to see his estranged wife, who took a high paying job with the Nakatomi Corporation in Los Angeles, and they're trying to get back together, it appears.
She says, come out to the coast, have a few laughs.
He decides to go out there.
He goes to this Christmas party.
Now, this is the big and overwhelming flaw in this movie.
The Christmas party at the Nokotomi Plaza, okay?
Takes place on Christmas Eve.
Now, how do you tell if you're the guy Takagi who runs the Nakotomi Corporation?
Hey, we're gonna have a great Christmas party.
It's gonna be a great spread, all the bougie can drink.
But the caveat is that it starts at five o'clock on Christmas Eve, and everybody attends, right?
So they can't pull off the heist unless it's Christmas Eve, and you have to watch the movie to understand that.
But in that one scene that we just played, ultimately you think that Bruce Willis, and his name's John McLean, Detective John McClain in the movie.
You think he's done, but he's able to tape a gun to his bare back with Christmas tape with the type of stuff that you wrapped gifts with.
And without that wrapping paper tape, no way he's able to pull it off in full Hans uh in that sort of situation.
So yeah, die hard, absolutely a Christmas movie.
Uh God help you if your your company is having you go to a Christmas party on Christmas Eve or even that afternoon for that matter.
I hope you have a half day.
But we want to open up to the lines right now as far as what is your favorite Christmas movie?
Right, of course.
That's a good idea.
800 941 Sean.
That's 800 941326.
First come, first serve, unless you're banned from the show for some reason.
We want to hear from you.
What is the greatest Christmas movie of all time?
All right, let's get our mind off the world that is crumbling be uh around us and just embrace the holiday season for a little bit.
Can you do that?
Joe Conscience for Sean Hannity back with more your calls in just a moment.
And the sunshine and happiness.
Round you on your five.
He gets a guess that won't go on any other radio shows.
And he does it every single day.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
No!
NOOOOOO What's your buddy's name?
Dick Marks.
Oh, this is cruel.
This is my prom song, ladies and gentlemen.
That received two out of 294 votes.
It's a hat tip to your buddy.
Yeah.
The president.
That's an effective president.
I mean, he could run Venezuela like right now and not have a problem.
Unbelievable.
It's actually kind of a nice song that I think about it.
Girl, I took to the prom.
We went as friends, and I'm like, oh, maybe we'll become more than friends because you know, it's platonic.
She was a cheerleading captain, all that stuff.
And then uh I think she had ran off of the guy named Al who was a junior.
But the point is, it was just a bad night all around.
I want to do over.
Anybody have a time machine, like 1.21 gigawatts and a DeLorean, I could go back and redo this thing all over again.
No?
All right, doesn't exist.
All right, let's blow through the call, shall we?
All right.
Diane in Georgia.
You have 15 seconds.
What's your favorite?
Christmas movie.
On timing Michael Album.
Oh, you know.
I saw that like three years ago, and it it's nice.
It's nice.
It's like a hot shulka kind of movie.
I love it, Diane.
Thank you.
Go Bulldogs, by the way.
You're gonna crush uh who are you playing?
TCO in the uh I believe it's C CO, yeah, in the playoffs.
Okay, thanks, Diane.
Appreciate it.
Let's go to Chris in the great state of Maryland.
What part of Maryland, Chris?
Frederick.
Ah, very good.
So you're a little bit west and a little bit north.
Uh who's your who's your what's your favorite?
Definitely the Christmas vacation favorite scene is when in the beginning he goes, hey kids, look at deer, and he flips those guys off in the pickup.
Yes!
And when they go out to get the tree and he goes underneath the truck and he does that little turn of the shoulders and just goes so nicely underneath the other truck.
That was beautiful.
Chris, thanks, man.
We're just doing a lightning round, so I want to talk to you more, but we can't, unfortunately.
All right, Gary, Florida.
Hey, Christmas in Connecticut.
Barbara Stanwyck.
Barbara Samuel Street.
That's right.
I want to say that was like 1940 something, but yeah, that's another classic.
Okay.
I love it.
These are this is nice and uh varied, and that's what we look for here on the Sean Annity show.
Aaron, Colorado.
Hello.
Yeah, uh if you're done doing the dishes, Aaron, what's your favorite Christmas movie?
Uh I like the when he runs over the Christmas trees and then uh Back to the Future.
Oh, that's right.
You can order a flux capacitor from AutoZone.
It's a 121G part.
But they're always sold out.
Of course.
Everybody wants the time travel, so they got to do their prom all over again.
So that makes total sense to me.
That's right.
It was the twin Twin Pines Mall in Back to the Future, 1985.
All right, Charlie, Florida, great state, just there.
What's your favorite?
Jingle bells with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad.
Oh, that's right.
Oh, that was awesome.
Well done.
All right.
Appreciate it.
Go gators.
That's unbelievable.
I forgot about that one.
