| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Does everybody like the idea of all-electric and you can drive for one hour?
So crazy.
These people are crazy.
Tussie, it wasn't easy.
People counted you out saying you're past your prime.
Hell, I know something about that.
I do believe that, you know, at the end of the day, policemen wouldn't have stayed in business so long if Hunter was not on the board.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming to your city.
Gonna play our guitars and send you a contrace on Sean Hennity.
The new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
I do this roundup information overload hour, 800-941-Sean.
Our number, you want to be a part of the program.
We will get to more of your calls today.
I mentioned earlier the front cover of the New York Post today is kicked out.
Here it is.
You know, Eric Adams with his welcoming of all the illegal immigrants.
And now the city is so overwhelmed they can't deal with it.
But, you know, we also have, you know, why are people flocking out of New York, fleeing New York in droves?
Why?
Because of high taxes, high crime, burdensome bureaucracy, and a lifestyle that just is not worth fighting against anymore.
I mean, smash and grab robberies here, there, and everywhere.
You can't go on a subway.
I mean, look at the incident of Daniel Penny, who goes to bat for innocent people on a subway train.
I mean, just a phenomenal story of heroism.
He didn't have to put his life at risk.
Now, it did end tragically, but he was begging the entire time, please call 911.
Please get some police help.
And there was no police help for 15 to 20 minutes.
But he was trying to save the lives against somebody who has a track record of doing nothing but terrorizing people on the New York City subway system.
You know, 45 priors for crying out loud.
That's a lot.
Oh, look at the case of the bodega worker, Jose Alba.
And what happened to him?
He has to defend his life.
He's fighting for his life.
He defends himself.
They want to charge him.
And now we have this latest story.
We played it last week on Hannity.
You got a 7-Eleven in Stockton, California.
And this guy goes in and he's literally got a garbage can on wheels.
And he's just, you know, piling everything that he could fit in this garbage can and trying to rob this store blind.
These stores can't survive.
Why do you think all these stores have been leaving cities like San Francisco?
Well, as long as you don't steal $1,000 worth of stuff, it's okay.
We're not going to stop you.
Well, those stores are going bankrupt.
It's unsustainable.
The mayor of New York, Eric Adams, says, well, youth crime is a parenting issue.
Well, this following a riot in Union Square, where some influencer was giving away PlayStations, and it just got out of control there.
Oh, we're going to blame the parents there?
Really?
Okay.
How about where was the protection from the police department?
You got 35,000 police officers in New York.
Where were they?
Anyway, here's the mayor.
What you're seeing that is happening to our youth in this country and in general, specifically here in New York City, is something that we should all be alarmed about.
We saw it yesterday down at Union Square.
This is not a policing issue.
This is apparent an issue.
And we need to be clear on that.
Police is the response after an incident happened.
But there should be a proactive approach.
By the way, and now they're looking into possible charges.
I meant to mention this to Stockton, California.
So the guys that work there, they said no.
And they got a bat or a stick.
I'm not sure.
Just started kicking the crap out of the guy robbing them blind.
And now they want to bring charges against them.
What about the guy that's stealing from them?
Anyway, joining us now, he's the founder of the Guardian Angels, former New York City mayoral candidate, ran on a platform of refunding the police in New York.
And New York would be safer now if, in fact, he had won and wouldn't have this illegal immigration problem either.
Fellow radio talk shows, longtime friend, our buddy Curtis Lee was with us.
How are you, sir?
Rock-ribbed all-American conservative voice of reason from Franklin Square, Long Island.
I'd never get sick of hearing it, Curtis.
What's going on, man?
I am horrible.
I feel horrible.
My city is slipping into the abyss.
When I saw those two Sikh guys working at that 7-Eleven at Stockton, oh, I was cheering to the high heavens.
This is what we need to do.
You come into their store.
You're going to steal everything with impunity and not think you're going to get a beatdown on the way out.
And if they had called the cops, the cops are not allowed to do anything anymore.
They basically said there's nothing we can do.
So they took matters into their own hands.
If they do get arrested, we got to set up a GoFundMe for them because these guys are leading our fight back to take America back.
It's like you go to Florida, all the sheriffs will tell you they're elected.
Hey, you got to protect your own property.
You got to do what you got to do when we got your back.
Not in California, not in New York.
Well, you know, you see all these examples.
You know, I've asked Mark Simone this question, and he's another mutual friend of ours.
And the two biggest New York people I know are you and Mark.
I mean, any event that I've ever been at, anytime I've ever been in the subway for crying out loud, I've run into Curtis Lewis.
It's like magic.
And, you know, are you guys, both of you, at some point, does Curtis Leewood ever say, I've just had it with this city?
I can't help this city anymore.
The city's too screwed up and too out of control.
And maybe I'll save money and get the hell out of here and pack up the cats and go?
Never, Sean.
To the day I die, I believe improve, don't move.
Enough of our neighbors have fled south of the Mason-Dixon line in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, where you can stand your ground, where police can be policed.
And I wish them no malice.
But somebody's got to stay behind and try to save our city.
Like tonight.
Man, I hate to admit, as soon as I get my opportunity, I'm saying goodbye, Sayonara.
I'm out of here.
Well, look.
And I'll let you come visit as often as you want, and you'll have a vacation.
Definitely.
And I'll take you up on that offer, Sean.
But I was birthed in New York City.
I will be buried in New York City.
And as you know, enough people have tried to kill me already, Sean.
What's another few hoodlums and thugs and mutts and scales trying to kill me?
You got to fight.
And I'm organizing people to do that every day and definitely to stop the illegal aliens from invading into our country, our state, and our city.
You reported for us on Hannity.
You were outside the Roosevelt Hotel.
Now they've made the decision on the illegal immigrants.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong.
Didn't Mayor Adams, wasn't he excoriating governors that were sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary places like New York City and San Francisco and other places in California?
So you were out there reporting they didn't have enough rooms at the Roosevelt Inn.
Now, we have a homeless problem in New York as well, and New York City in particular.
Did New York City ever pay for those hotel rooms for Americans that were homeless?
Not that I recall, Curtis.
I never saw a mass takeover of a hotel like this.
No.
And in fact, Sean, you mentioned at the start of this segment that Eric Adams beat me fair and square as mayor because African Americans came out and voted for him.
And now they look and they say, wait, the majority of the homeless, the emotionally disturbed, the people living in the subways, the streets, and the parks, they're African Americans.
Without us, Eric Adams, you wouldn't be mayor.
He has forsaken his own people.
That's why we have to wake up African Americans.
We have to tell them politically, be free agents.
Don't be in anybody's back pocket.
Because if an illegal alien shows up with no papers, with MS-13 tattoos all over their body, they get three-star hotels.
They're staying there.
They get three squares a day.
They get an Obama flip phone.
They get help there.
They get everything.
And if you happen to be a veteran down on your luck and you're homeless or emotionally disturbed, Sean, in today's New York City, you get nothing but a park bench.
What does it say to people like Daniel Penny or Jose Alba or the guy out in Stockton, California in the 7-Eleven that took the stick and beat the crap out of the guy that was robbing their store blind?
What does it say that the people that are softest on crime want to go after the people that are actually defending the innocent?
You know, in the case of Jose Alba, he was protecting his own life.
It's called self-defense.
In the case of Daniel Penny, a guy with a rap sheet four miles long and obviously had some mental issues, is threatening young and old people on a subway train.
And he was not the only person on that subway that restrained this guy that was making these threats.
But in every case, they then become the subject of a criminal investigation.
Not the guys that are responsible.
And not only that, Sean, as you know, for every one citizen in New York, and even in Florida, where you are hoping to go, there are nine lawyers for every one citizen, and they practice their martial art every day.
I sue.
And they're ready to sue.
Daniel Penny is already being sued personally.
And I'll tell you this.
I know how you were raised, Sean, in Franklin Square.
I was raised in Brooklyn by a merchant seaman, Father Chester, who said, you are a man.
A man's responsibility is to defend those who cannot defend themselves.
The women, the children, the elderly, the infirm.
You must put yourself on the front line.
If harm is to come to anybody, it must come to you.
You must do your job as a citizen of America and defend those who cannot defend themselves.
And that's exactly what these great, great people did.
They did what they had to do.
And we were supporting them.
Quick break more with founder of the Guardian Angels, former New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sleewa on the other side.
Then your calls, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I would continue, Curtis Sleewa, founder, Guardian Angels.
All these years, I remember when you formed the Guardian Angels, and I remember the controversy that emerged with the formation of the Guardian Angels, and you had supporters, and you had the tractors, but you don't carry any weapons.
You do train young people in self-defense protection.
You've been out on the streets.
You've been in a melee or two, and yet somehow you managed to survive all these years.
Frankly, it's almost miraculous.
I mean, you did get shot in the taxi, but that was a whole separate issue and nearly died that night or morning going into the early morning.
You were doing your morning radio show at that time.
But short of that, how you've been able to survive and they've not tried to put you in jail is probably miraculous also.
Well, to be honest with you, it may happen tonight, Sean.
News for you.
We're going out to Creedmoor.
Now, this is a New York State psychiatric facility where only 30% of the beds are occupied for those who need mental health care.
That's a lot of people walking around this.
Wasn't this formerly called Willowbrook?
Yeah, Willowbrook.
But this is Creedmoor State Facility.
They're putting a tent out for 1,000 single, able-bodied, illegal young men, which is nothing but double trouble with nothing to do and nowhere to go.
If it means getting arrested tonight, I will get arrested, Sean Hannity, because on the other side is AOC all-out crazy Alexandria Casio-Cortez, who is actually going to be there with the socialists to welcome the illegal aliens.
And that's nothing we can permit.
This is America, the land of the free, the home of the brave.
And it is not the country of socialism where we are actually bringing in illegal aliens who are not properly vetted.
Think of all the aliens who go through the proper process of waiting in their countries of origin, fill out the paperwork, get medical checkups, are vetted for criminal backgrounds.
What are we to do?
What are we to say to the people who are obeying the law?
You should jump the queue like people do the fair here every day.
There are fair invaders who don't pay the fare and jump the subway.
That's what illegal aliens are doing.
Unbelievable.
So I hope you have my cell number because when you need to get bailed out, just feel free to give me a call and I'll try and help.
Well, you know, Sean, I'll be the one person that they remand to jail.
By the way, that's probably true.
There's no bail laws.
You'll be the one guy they keep in jail.
Right.
But remember, I've been locked up before for the right things.
And if it means going to jail for America and to save our city, lock me up and throw away the key, Sean.
Let me ask you this.
When you do go to jail and you have been in jail, how do the prisoners treat you?
Because they all know you.
Oh, they know me.
But let's face it, I don't close my eyes at night because they'd love to make their bones.
They'd love to get a notch on their belt by taking out Curtis Flewa.
Many have tried, but I've taken the licking.
And as you've described, I've come back kicking.
They've shot me.
They've stabbed me.
They've beaten me.
They've broken my jaw.
They won't break my will.
And they won't break my desire to save America because we're in peril.
You say it every day on your TV and radio show.
Telling you.
By the way, did you when you're in jail?
They probably have to put you in solitary confinement then.
Man, look, we don't want you in jail.
Want you safe and secure, but what you do is beyond admirable.
It's been your life's passion, and we appreciate you being with us.
Curtis Sleewa, former New York City mayoral candidate, would be a very different city right now if he had won that election.
But again, Republicans are out-registered 9-10 to 1.
It's ridiculous.
And now the city's going back to the bad old days, pre-Rudy Giuliani, and it's not looking good.
Anyway, Curtis, great to have you, my friend.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And get ready for round two.
I'm taking out the swagger man with no plan, Eric Adams, two years from now.
All right, he's running again.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.

By the way, we now have a Biden-Sylyndra scandal that has emerged, which is exactly what it is.
Remember the solar panel cell manufacturer that went bankrupt after the Obama administration invested over $500 million of your tax dollars in it while promising it's going to create thousands of new green energy jobs.
Well, two years ago, Biden predicted that Electra's bus manufacturer, Proterra, would, quote, own the future after his administration poured $45 billion tax dollars.
$45 billion.
Solyndra was only $500 million into this electric bus industry.
Now, yesterday, Proterra announces they're going bankrupt, meaning you, the taxpayers, are going to hold the bag on this also.
They cited various market and macroeconomic headwinds in their Chapter 11 filing, which came after the California-based firm cut hundreds of jobs earlier this year, restructured hundreds of millions of dollars in outstanding debt.
The declaration marks a stunning downfall for this, you know, Joe Biden's favorite green energy company.
And Biden took, you know, part in his virtual tour of a Proterra facility in April of 2021 to promote his $1.9 trillion infrastructure plan.
That included billions to boost the electric bus industry.
Now he wants all-electric military vehicles.
Biden said during the event that Protero is getting us in the game, predicted that they and other electric vehicle companies would end up owning the future.
Tell that to Ford.
They just lost $4.5 billion on their electric vehicle line because nobody wants them.
He went on to praise this company in March of 2022.
Less than a year later, in February, Biden appointed the CEO to serve on the president's export council, which provides advice on international trade.
Jennifer Granholm, energy secretary, held 240,000 shares in the company at the start of her tenure, prompting serious and rightful ethic concerns.
Maybe she'll lose her money now, or she didn't pull it out knowing that this was coming.
Biden's praise for this company and Granholm's financial stake in the company drew comparisons to Solyndra, but that was only a $535 million loan guarantee as part of Obama's and Biden stimulus package.
And Obama promoted Solyndra during a tour of Fremont, California, and their facility out there is leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future.
Yeah, that company shut down a year later, about a year and a half later in August of 2011.
So Biden's decision to promote a business where his energy secretary holds multi-million dollar stake in it has all the potential to be even worse than Solyndra.
It's just so disgusting.
So repulsive.
This is the climate alarmist religious cult.
It is a religious cult.
All right, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Iowa Chris, next, Sean Hannity Show.
Sean.
What's up, sir?
How are you?
Oh, what an honor it is to speak with you.
Well, the honor is all mine, and we're glad you got through.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
One of these days, I might need your cell phone to take you up on the bail offer that you offered to Curtis if they keep coming after our children.
It's absolutely despicable what's happening in our country right now.
I just, I have no words to even express the frustration as to what's going on.
You know, I don't have any words of comfort to give you because I don't see anything changing anytime soon.
And that's a problem for the country.
You know, the earliest we can expect change, and look how complicated they're making it, you know, in the case of Donald Trump to run for president.
They'll do the same thing for any other Republican presidential nominee.
I promise you, this is not exclusive just, you know, for Donald Trump.
They'll try to take down any and every single solitary Republican, period.
But, you know, look at what they're doing to parents, you know, the speak out in school board meetings for crying out loud.
Well, it's happening right here in Iowa.
It's happening right here in Iowa.
We moved to our community thinking that this was one of the top-rated communities in the state, and it has gone downhill in the last three, four years.
And we're contemplating on pulling our children out of this district.
It's just, it's sickening.
It's sad.
And it's.
And you know what else?
It's also all preventable.
It's all preventable.
Yep.
You know, this didn't have to happen.
The non-lunatic.
Yeah, exactly.
Anyway, hang in there.
And if you need to pull out, pull out.
I don't blame you at all.
But it's hard for a lot of parents.
They pay all this money in taxes.
They expect good schools.
They're in crappy school districts.
The kids are not getting a quality education.
And now they've got to, what, go into debt?
Average American now, 50, what, $4,000 in debt?
61% of Americans live in paycheck to paycheck.
Not good.
I'll tell you that.
Anyway, good call.
Appreciate it.
Let's see.
Kay is in North Carolina.
Kay, how are you?
Oh, good.
Thank you.
It's an honor, too, to speak to you.
You're a national treasurer.
Oh, you're very kind.
Thank you.
Yeah, I called because I'm very concerned about Bill Barr.
He said recently that he's going to testify against Trump on the January 6th investigation.
And I think that's hypocritical because he was the AG during January 6th.
He should have had the information that there was going to be riots.
He should have had information that there was trouble.
Yet he didn't bring in any extra troops.
He was also AG when the FBI was saying the laptop story was false.
So I now have come to believe that what Dershowitz said, that the Republicans are actually taking Trump out, that it's not the Democrats alone.
And it's heartbreaking to me because I always wanted to believe that the establishment meant well and that their trouble with Trump was his problem.
He wears his heart on his sleeve.
He's an honest man, but he wears his heart on his sleeve and talks out of turn sometimes.
You know, the choice for America is do they want the guy that doesn't know what day of the week it is, that's a weak, frail, cognitive mess whose policies are killing our economy and literally, you know, he's allowing for America to be replaced as the dominant leader on the world stage.
He's not up to the job.
Or do they want the guy that might be outspoken, put out mean tweets or truth social posts, but got the job done and knows what day of the week it is and fights like hell.
I want the guy that's fighting for America, the guy that puts America first, the guy that will make us energy independent, control our borders.
You know, I want that guy back.
I'll take those policies.
Absolutely.
But the problem is they are, they're envious of him or they resent him, and so they're working to pull him down.
And it's breaking my heart.
It's breaking the heart of so many ordinary Republican voters who just want what's best for the country.
And it's all ego and fighting.
And it's a tragedy because the country is suffering under all this.
Yeah.
Unnecessarily.
That's even sadder.
Appreciate the call.
Thank you.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Chris, Long Island, New York, listening to AM710, W-O-R.
Hi.
Sean, what a pleasure to actually get through to you.
Thank you.
You know, one of the saddest things here is you got millions of dollars going to the Biden crime family.
You got burisma.
You got the fired prosecutor.
The big guy is in bed with China, Ukraine.
He was in bed with them all while he was VP.
My question to you, Sean, what did Obama know?
He is the boss of that crime family.
You can't tell me, and no one in the mainstream media, they'll never say it.
No one can tell me that this guy was not at the helm of all the decisions that were going on by Sleepy Joe, by Hunter, with the prostitutes, with all that was going on with the laptop and everything.
I personally think that Joe is so sleepy now because Hunter never let him sleep while he was VP.
On the phone at all hours of the night with China, with Ukraine, with all the rest.
I am one of those Americans that is disgusted.
I can't stand living in New York, born and raised right around the corner from you in North Valley Stream.
I am one of those 61% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, and I can't.
Do you remember Carl Hoppels in Valley Stream?
There was one in Baldwin also.
Amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
My dad worked on weekends as a waiter at Carl Hoppels, the one in Baldwin.
Get out of town.
That's hysterical.
That's great.
I have to also say to you, Sean, I don't think that Hunter...
Did you ever go to Nassau County Jail, Mike?
My mom was there as a prison guard.
You could have met her, too.
Well, you know what?
Thankfully, I've been able to stay out of Nassau County.
I'm just kidding.
Go ahead.
Suffolk County is a different story.
But, you know, the last thing I want to say to you is, you know, I think that Joe was telling the truth that never one time did he speak to Hunter Biden.
I think he did it more than one time, so he's been telling the truth all along.
He's just someone that's just hiding the facts, just like everyone else does, except for you.
Sean, I watch you every night.
I listen to you every day.
I can't get enough.
A caller before said you are an American treasurer, and I could not echo the sentence anymore.
You are the best, Sean, and I really appreciate it.
I am one of your soldiers on the front line to keep this out there all the time.
I never stop getting into debate.
I never stop having that civic discourse.
But unfortunately, it gets shut down, especially where we live, because at the end of the day, the Democrats rule the world.
The only way we're going to change this, and I appreciate your kind words, but it's all hands on deck.
It's going to take all of us.
And that means that we have got to understand what's at stake and get out there and fight for it.
Let me just go over 10 quick observations of the great columnist, author, thinker, Victor Davis Hansen.
He has an article out today: 10 insidious ways the left has seized and warped the U.S.
And the first thing he goes through is free expression.
And he mentions, for example, a DEI workshop politely object that whiteness does not account for all the challenges of marginalized peoples, and you will become, you say anything against that, you'll be ostracized.
You know, those that said, you know what, I don't really trust this vaccine.
What happened to those people?
If you express doubt that there are more than two biological sexes or don't want biological men and women's sports, what happens to your free expression?
Then he mentions the weaponization of the Justice Department.
We talk about that all the time.
These attacks, never-ending attacks on the Supreme Court so they can one day pack the court, stack the court.
The media-democratic fusion.
They are one.
He's talking about insidious ways the left has seized and warped this country.
And he's right.
The destruction of common law, the erosion of our military.
My military is now woke and going green.
That's not going to help win wars against really bad people that want to destroy us.
You know, then he talks about the sexes.
I won't go into that in deep detail.
How our debt is a construct, a modern monetary theory that annual deficits and national debt, just a state accounting challenge.
No, printing money is a problem.
The debt we have and they're passing on to our kids and grandkids are a problem.
He mentions university and heresy that universities should be places of the free and open expression of varying ideas and differences and opinions.
It doesn't happen anymore.
He's right on the money.
And that's why it is an all-hands-on-deck moment.
I'll give you the last word.
I also want to say to you, Sean, you know, you brought up about the green, you know, being having green energy in the battlefield.
What are we going to do?
We're going to stop in the middle of the desert and say, hold on, I got to plug in my Humvee.
It's absolutely ridiculous what this country is turning into.
And I just feel bad for my three-year-old and my six-year-old that's growing up in this.
I'm teaching them the right way.
I'm teaching them the conservative values that America needs.
You will not be able to fully protect them.
I'm telling you, I'm speaking as a parent.
My kids are a little older.
The only good thing is you get to be the counterbalance.
They will learn it, and then they'll hear your side.
And, you know, presented the right way.
I'm pretty sure you're an effective communicator.
You're going to be able to bring them over to your side.
I appreciate it, Sean.
I want to wish you the best, and I'm right there with you on the front lines.
All right.
Well, we need all hands on deck.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
Please set your DVR Monday through Friday.
And yeah, we'll cover the story, the mob, the media, huge developments as it relates to the Biden family syndicate and the Joe Biden bribery scandal allegations.
Newt Gingrich, Tulsi Gabbard, Riley Gaines was at an event and people were spitting at her and basically trying to attack her.
We'll find out what happened.
Bill Melusian, Curtis Slea was at that event that he mentioned earlier in the program today.
Nine Eastern, set your DVR.
Hannity on Fox.
See you tonight back here tomorrow.
