800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Very interesting interview.
Um Chuck Todd, who's done a lousy job on Meet the Press.
Uh has now been replaced by Kristen Welker.
Her first week or first interview was with Donald Trump and the media and and social media in particular.
They just had a complete meltdown.
How dare you platform Donald J. Trump?
You know, now he said he went into a lot of detail in this interview.
It shut down the government if Republicans can't make the appropriate deal.
Well, Republicans need to have that spine.
You know, he talked a lot about yeah, I'd support cognitive testing.
He took one the last time.
The one that needs it is Joe Biden.
You know, it's Donald Trump, in spite of one statement, oh, it'll start World War II.
Oh, see, he's suffering from cognitive decline.
Meanwhile, okay.
Joe Biden every single day.
You gotta be kidding me.
And and when you when I interview him and the hours I've spent with him, and when it's a scheduled one-hour interview and it becomes a two-hour interview because he's got that much to say and he's that well-versed on every topic.
They don't they just don't even want to hear his point of view.
Don't even platform him.
You know, he said, I don't think Biden's too old.
He's just incompetent.
Well, he's also cognitively compromised.
And he uh he went on to say some things that uh we've been saying the issue of abortion did not help Republicans in 2022.
There's gotta be some level of compromise, and everyone knows that I'm pro-life and I believe in the sanctity of life, uh, but that's on the moral side of it.
On the political side of it, it is a losing proposition, and we saw that play out in the state in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the last election, in my view.
You know, he's talked about Europe needs to do more on Ukraine.
We've been saying that.
And how he would be able to broker a deal.
He believes expeditiously within 24 hours.
That might be a hard sell, but I think he he certainly is more was more respected than Joe Biden by some of these geopolitical foes of ours.
I don't think he'd be paying ransom to the mullahs in Iran the way Joe Biden is.
I don't think he would have gotten us back in the Paris Accords, he got us out of those accords.
We never got better trade deals with China.
We never had we didn't have any issues with China.
You know, it's interesting.
When Joe Biden was vice president, they annexed Crimea.
Then when he's president, they invade Ukraine.
Uh that didn't happen when j when Donald Trump was president.
Why?
Because they feared him and they respected him.
That's the bottom line.
He got he says, Well, I got along with Putin.
Doesn't mean he likes him.
Doesn't mean he doesn't think he's a dangerous guy.
They just add a forthright drop dead honest relationship.
If you do A, I'm gonna have to do B. That's simple.
Like the conversation that I've explained many times about that he had with the Taliban before there was going to be any pull out of Afghanistan.
And the same with President Xi.
You know, did you ever think that China would end up doing a trade deal with Donald Trump that benefited America?
Well, it happened.
Just like NAFTA's out and and we got better trade deals with Canada and Mexico.
Yeah, and you could take those savings and actually use it to help build the wall, like he said he would do.
Um, but it really got interesting when when fellow media mob members like Peter Baker over the New York Times, their chief White House correspondent, had to defend Kristen Welker for daring to interview Donald Trump.
Well, he's the top polling candidate for the Republican Party.
It just makes sense.
Listen.
We have gotten criticism for just sitting down with former President Trump.
He is the former president.
He's facing four indictments as journalists.
Just set the scene the backdrop why there is still news value, value for the public to hear from him.
Well, this is a huge challenge for American journals.
Of course, right?
It can't be that a person can run for President of the United States, be a front runner in his party, and possibly win without ever being challenged by a tough independent interviewer.
And that's, I think, an important part of our system.
Now, obviously, the challenge for us because he is just going to spout out one thing after another.
In fact, I mean real time is a real hard thing.
But what you've done here is edit it and make sure people understand what he's what's real and what's not.
I have a whole list of Biden lies.
No, why why isn't this media upset or concerned?
Why don't they ever challenge if they don't really get a lot of access to Joe anyway?
Because Joe can't possibly, cognitively, he's not strong enough to have real press conferences or spend any significant time with anybody for that matter.
I mean, I've never seen a president with a lighter schedule than Joe Biden.
But he claimed, oh, he's the guy that convinced Strom Thurman to vote for the Civil Rights Act.
He was 21 years old.
No one making less than 400 grand will pay more in taxes.
Yeah, that was a lie.
Biden claims he got started at a historically black college and university, Delaware State.
No.
He claims he taught at the University of Pennsylvania.
No.
Uh he's, you know, I mean, I can the Amtrak story.
Remember, he told the tale of the conductor that congratulated him when he was vice president, riding more miles on a train home to Delaware than on board Air Force II.
Here's the problem.
That claim the Amtrak miles, well, had surpassed this.
It would only have happened after the conductor died.
He repeats the lie that he traveled 17,000 miles with President Qi of China.
That's been debunked.
He accuses border agents.
Remember he could accuse them of whipping illegal immigrants?
Claims he attended a black church, fought segregation in the civil rights movement.
No, that's not true.
He was sit claims he was arrested in South Africa trying to see Nelson Mandela.
Another lie.
Claims he was arrested during the civil rights protest.
No, he was the guy in the 70s partnering with the former Klansman and trying to stop the integration of public schools because he didn't want those public schools in his words to be racial jungles.
Biden claimed uh all these things.
Claimed he had repeatedly denied ever talking to his son or his brother or anybody for that matter about these foreign business deals.
Claims he used to drive an 18-wheeler, claims his house almost burned to the ground and he nearly lost his Corvette and his pet and his wife.
It was a kitchen fire that lasted less than 20 minutes.
Claimed that he was sort of raised in the Puerto Rico, Puerto Rican community at home politically.
That he went to Israel to serve as a lay liaison during the Six Day War.
He said he visited the Tree of Life Synagogue.
He said his first job offer was from an Idaho lumber company, uh Boise Cascade.
All these things have been debunked.
Says after he was elected VP, he awarded his Uncle Frank with a purple heart that he had earned the during the Battle of the Bulge.
No evidence of any of this being true.
He repeats the lie, his great grandfather was a Cobmire.
He lies about the number of times he visited Iraq and Afghanistan, claiming anywhere between 30 and 50.
Okay, not true.
Claims he spoke to the man who invented it insulin.
That would be impossible because multiple scientists are credited with discovering insulin.
Two day two died before Biden was even born.
No evidence Biden met the others.
None.
Claimed that his grandfather died in the same hospital.
I was born two weeks before I was born.
No, he um the grandpop died in 1941.
He wasn't born until uh almost a year over a year later in 1942.
He claimed he was responsible for the revival of the quad, the strategic partnership ship between Australia, India, Japan.
All this.
Just one lie after another.
But that doesn't matter.
Because the media won't call him out.
And they and they give him the pass.
They let him hide in the basement.
They facilitate all of it.
And they just fixate.
It's obsessive, compulsive fixation on all things Trump.
Think the media is going to tell you the history of this Democratic Party.
How is it?
What Republican would get away with I don't want public schools becoming racial jungles, therefore I'll partner with the former clansmen to stop the integration of public schools and claim that he's his big civil rights champion.
Because that's Joe Biden.
Not a not a word uttered by anyone in the media.
No one ever dared ask him.
It's unbelievable the the unholy alliance and corruption.

All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
William in Indiana.
What's up, William?
How are you, sir?
I'm very concerned what's going on nowadays.
You know, when Biden went on television with the military stand behind him in the red screen saying the mega is the greatest enemy, not China, not Russia, the mega party.
So you gotta run.
Well, maybe the maybe the MAGA party ought to just do business deals with the Bidens, and then they'll get, you know, more praise.
Well, you know, the the the government, the the court systems are so corrupt, just like in this civil case against Trump.
You're telling me that a complete jury, not one honest person in New York, could say, hey, there's not reasonable about thirty years ago this this woman claimed something happened, never told anybody.
I'll tell you what did happen was that what Joe Biden did to one of his workers, and she her mother called the Larry King show.
It's on tape, saying her daughter was assaulted.
And uh I believe her story completely, and not because she's a Democrat about she loved Biden, she worked for him.
He raped her, and he's got away with it all like he does everything.
Just look at the videos of Creepy Joe.
Look at what we have evidence on.
And it's so creepy, I can't even believe it.
But uh, I hear you.
Thanks for the thanks for the call, my friend, 800 941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program uh Tim Texas next Sean Hannity show what's up Tim what's going on Sean long time listener big fan of yours I want to talk about this potential government shutdown and let everybody know you said roughly seventy percent of people's living paycheck to paycheck correct yeah well sixty one if we're gonna be exact well I fall into that category so and
when it's not by the way I I've been there it sucks doesn't it uh yes but it's not a free vacation for us you have what they call essential and non-essential we uh I'm a federal correctional officer you're essential trust me my mom was a correction officer so when we do get back pay it's a one lot sum and they tax the mess out of it.
Well no I mean if if you're essential you you will you will usually be paid during that time.
It's the people that are furloughed that don't get paid.
No we didn't we don't never get paid.
Okay, so you get back pay and you're living paycheck to paycheck.
Look, as long as you're working, for example, let's say you have a car loan and a mortgage.
I don't know.
Do you have a car loan or a mortgage or you're renting, whatever it happens to be?
Usually, once you show people that you're working and they understand, I can't imagine any reasonable person wouldn't understand that this is through no fault of your own and that this money is going to come to you and that when it does come to you, you'll gladly catch up on your mortgage, your car payment or your rent, whatever it happens to be.
to be.
Now it doesn't make it easy it's not convenient.
What's that insurance groceries, house insurance, the electric bill all that's still got to be paid because they're not trying to hear that they want their money.
Yeah I my understanding always was that the military's paid essential workers are paid or those deemed essential workers you're telling me the opposite but yeah that would be a hardship for a lot of people I I tend to agree but here's the problem.
You know it's also going to be a hardship for the country if we continue to rob our children blind with 30 what, three trillion in in new debt that and debt that we have in this country and another two trillion last year alone.
So unfortunately that's how that that that's how they make you know sandwiches in Washington.
It's ugly it's messy innocent people get hurt in the process I don't know any other alternative except to just continue down the same old path which eventually will lead this country to a far worse economic condition.
Does that make sense?
Yeah but I want you to think about this though essentially so basically what they're telling us is if the welfare checks go out so the people that don't work you're telling them they know it's okay you're gonna get to eat but you're telling me and people that work for the TSA, the air traffic controllers and everybody else that's essential workers you're gonna come to work you're not gonna get paid and uh guess what?
You don't get to eat.
Yeah listen if you're if you know for a fact that you're not gonna get your paycheck and you're gonna have to go to work every day I mean they are putting you in a bind that nobody should be put in.
That just doesn't make sense because the whole purpose of it is to just cut back on non-essential workers.
The military gets paid social security checks go out.
Medicare's paid so they use it as pawns.
Well what well I mean I I don't think they're using you as a pawn as much as they've there are certain really fundamental principles at stake here and that is that you know we have got to get control of our borders there's no reason that every American now is paying more for gasoline seasonally adjusted than we've ever paid before.
You know now we're back up to four bucks a gallon and and now we're getting squeezed even further because the Saudis and OPEC refuse to up production.
So I mean there just is a a m there's there's a lot in play here and as a country these guys are going to make some tough decisions and I I I believe me I I sympathize with you.
I've been in your spot I've lived there.
It's not fun.
No sometimes if you have a relationship with a bank if you have a relationship with other people you know maybe you can get a little bridge loan and then when you get paid you'd be able to pay everybody back.
No obviously you're a hard working guy.
You know I'm not giving you the answer you want to hear.
What's that?
They shouldn't put us in that position.
Yeah I would think that that people that are deemed essential need to get paid.
Yes I agree with you.
Alright Sean will have a good day, bud.
Well, thank you for what you do.
By the way, it's no no picnic working as in a as a prison guard, I'll tell you that.
Um I watched my mom.
Uh, how many double shifts do you have to work a week?
We're it's getting better since they're hiring people now.
Yeah.
It's getting a little bit better, but some of our other institutions, they're they're getting hammered weekly.
Weekly.
Um my mom spent nearly half her life in a prison.
Just not a not a great life, not a great job.
Uh she did it for her family.
She worked more double shifts than I could even count.
It was unbelievable.
Anyway, God bless you.
You're uh you're an American hero for doing what you do.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Didn't the IRS scandal and the NSA atrocities convince you?
You need a watchdog on Washington with insider sources.
You need Hannity every day.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
By the way, a tape uh emerged over the weekend is from 2005.
I mean, you you don't think Joe's involved with his son's business dealings.
Anyway, so Hunter with Pops at a what Jefferson Jackson Day dinner, and and they meet some guy, and oh well, you meet my son Hunter.
I mean, you know, you guys uh should you know talk.
Listen.
Yeah.
Maybe it can work something out, man.
Yeah, that's not until Hunter was just telling about his firm in Washington.
Yeah.
You have a car by I don't, but I'll give you my uh let me give you my and then I'll get I gave them all away.
And then Hunter just uh, you know, Pops moves on and Hunter stays and talks with the guy, and I'm I don't know what they got done.
What deal?
A preview of what would be coming attractions when he's vice president.
Anyway, 800, 941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
But folks, let me first talk about your personal safety and and what a fan I am of this non-lethal uh well, they call it a launcher.
It's really it looks like a firearm, works like a firearm, but it delivers a formidable power that stops attackers in their tracks because the projectiles that they they fire have two pepper sprays and tear gas in it, and literally it'll incapacitate anybody that, for example, wants to bring harm to you and your family in any situation, and and you can use it at a pretty long distance, too.
I can hit targets easily at 40 feet.
Anyway, it is not just any self-defense tool.
The burner launcher delivers formidable power, stops attackers in their tracks without the legal complex complexities that come with lethal force.
Now, I use burner, and of course I I have carried my entire adult life and firearms as both as very vital parts of my personal security strategies.
That's it.
Now it comes in a variety of colors.
You can get it in camo, you can get it in black, which is what I have.
Uh Linda got orange, I think.
They have yellow and pink as well.
Uh, but it works.
That's the bottom line.
God forbid somebody breaks into your house, wants to bring harm to you or your family, and maybe you don't feel comfortable with a firearm.
I do, but uh if I could, I would rather use a non-lethal option first.
You gotta look at these videos that they have on their website.
It's burner.com slash Hannity.
You spell burner, B Y R N A dot com slash Hannity.
See what happens.
All these big guys, they take a shot with the burner and boom, watch what happens.
Uh some people throwing up afterwards.
It's unreal.
Uh Linda, you actually shoot this better than you do your firearm.
Listen, let me tell you something.
There is something, there's a certain confidence that comes with knowing that this is a less lethal form of you know self-protection.
You know, you have a little bit more confidence knowing you can protect yourself without hurting somebody else.
And I think a lot of people would feel that way.
Burner.com slash Hannity.
You got 10% off your purchase.
That's B Y R N A, a non-lethal alternative to a firearm.
Uh use it as part of your personal security strategy.
That's what I'm doing.
Uh let's say hi to Dennis in North Carolina.
Dennis, how are you?
I'm doing great.
I hope you are.
I'm good.
All's good.
Nothing to complain about.
Uh the reason I wanted to talk to you and you know, talk to people.
Uh I keep hearing that the inflation rate is three percent.
Uh it's not three percent when you're a small business owner and you're having to pay your employees twice as much as you did before Biden was in office.
Everything costs more.
Basically my idea is when fuel prices go up, everything goes up.
Uh well let me just say it it's the they're now even writing about this disconnect between all these polls that show that the American people are are bearing the burden of of Biden's horrific energy and economic policies and the disconnect by by them out there saying bynomics, byonomics.
I'm like, it couldn't be any worse than it is right now.
And and this is what's frustrating for so many Americans here.
Gas prices now at a seasonal record.
Now we're back to four dollars a gallon, and now we're controlled by by the Saudis and Venezuela and OPEC, countries that hate our guts.
You know, then California Newsom is suing, quote, big oil for alleged climate change deception, and you know, we feel the pain at the pump.
Now we feel the pain of of rising interest rates because of the inflation that they caused.
But they want to tell you what kind of car you ought to buy, even though Americans don't want electric vehicles.
It's a big part of this UAW strike.
It's uh well there's more, it's the uh minimum wage.
When Biden was elected, supposedly, they wanted to raise minimum wage.
Republicans were against it.
The truth is they raised minimum wage anyway by paying people to stay home and not work, and businesses got so desperate that you can walk into a convenience store here in North Carolina and they got signs up paying people sixteen bucks an hour to work in a convenience store.
And so it's been my idea.
If you want to make money, you learn how to do something.
You learn a trade.
And it the people like me, the working class, I'm gonna call me middle income, middle to lower.
We're bearing the brunt of this.
The money that I used to have that would last three, four, six months, only goes for about six to eight weeks now because of the m what it costs to run a business now.
And this is a small business, and I go through all kinds of money.
And you know, my employees don't even understand it.
But it gets it people are getting wiped out by this.
This is the problem.
I mean, you're feeling it every day, and as are the sixty-one percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.
You know, the the estimates now are because of Biden inflation, you know, the average household is paying anywhere between eighty, five hundred and ten thousand dollars annually.
Well, that for most people is the difference between saving money and going deep into debt.
It's not like there's a lot of margin for big portions of of this country.
And these policies are killing us.
And what's their answer?
To put even more restrictions on energy companies and drive the prices up even further.
I mean, it's it's so counterintuitive to what any person with common sense would do.
When Trump was in office, we were producing more oil than any country in the world.
And now here we're back to where we were before him.
I remember when uh Trump before COVID, I told my wife, I said, babe, we're fixing to have the most successful year we have ever had.
COVID came, and I got my opinions about COVID too, but I'm not gonna say it here.
But uh, and then Biden came and the economies went it just went nuts.
We we're paying too many people not to work, and I hate the word entitlement.
The only thing you're entitled to in life is what you work for.
The Bible itself says a man that will not work will not eat.
By the sweat of thy brow, earn thy bread.
That's right.
And until we get back to some of these old ways, people will never understand.
People think that the country people like me are stupid, but we're the ones who always survive while everybody in the city is going hungry and everything else.
It's like Hank Jr.'s song, Country Boys Will Survive.
That's right.
And I mean it was it's there's got to be change in this country, and people have to wake up and think for themselves and quit watching the propaganda that's on the television news on m on most stations.
They they've got to wake up and see for themselves and quit listening to what they're told.
People believe anything now.
It's it's these are scary times.
And innocent people are being hurt by horrific policies.
Look at our border, look at energy, look at law and order, look at foreign policy, look at our school systems.
You know, look just you just go on down the list.
Every single, every single crisis we're facing was self-induced.
Policy induced by by a bunch of radicals that are now running our government.
Our government right now, and I'm saying I hate to say it, the republicans, most of them are just as bad.
We'll do anything to get elected.
Anything stay in power and come out rich.
Listen, I'm not I'm not particularly enthusiastic about just because you have an R in front of your name.
I mean, it's so frustrating because I mean they have a small, slim majority.
You've got all these varying factions, and you have you know, idiots like in spite of a plethora of evidence, email evidence, laptop uh from hell evidence.
You know, then you get these idiots like Ken Buck out in Colorado.
Oh, there's no evidence that Joe had any involvement or or was compensated.
There's a plethora of evidence.
But nobody wants to hear it.
Well, he d he certainly doesn't.
Mainstream media will how will cover that if it doesn't serve their agenda.
They do it every day.
And that's why shows like this, it's not any great talent I have, but that's why shows like this are successful.
Well, I thank you for what you do, and everybody on, you know, this talk radio station that I'm listening to.
I'm gonna plug it 106-1.
Yeah.
W R D U. Great thing.
Great station.
What y'all doing.
Well, we appreciate it, my friend.
Thank you.
God bless you.
God bless you too.
You're what makes the country great, my friend.
Uh Joe Ellijay Georgia.
What's up, Joe from LJ?
How you doing, my friend?
Sean, love your show.
You're doing a great job.
And I love, I tell you what, Mark Levin, I heard him last night I bought two copies of his great new book.
Everybody in America needs to read that book.
I I think Levin, along with you, y'all are the two best friends of the taxpayers in history.
I want to recommend everybody buy the great book, um, why the Democrats hate America.
It's just fan I hadn't read it yet, but I've heard all the vin for the last six or eight weeks.
I listened to his program just like I listened to yours, watch his, and he's been talking about it for a long time, and I just think it's I'm I can't wait to read.
I got one for my wife and myself.
And Sean, just want to thank you for all you do for the taxpayers.
You're the best, my friend.
The Democrat Party hates America.
I'm sure I I wish I could see the reaction when Libs, you know, hear the great one or or hear him on this show or on my TV show, and it just I'm I'm sure they bubble and fizz and just burst out, you know, like it's like popping a pimple that'll explode so much, just even at the title.
Never mind the deep substance in it.
But Joe L O J, we appreciate you, man.
Thank you.
Uh Joel in Florida, the free state of Florida.
What's up, Joel?
How are you, sir?
Hey, Sean, how are you?
I'm gonna disagree with you.
I just don't share your pessimism about uh Trump getting a uh a jury, a fair jury in in uh New York, based on what's happening now, you know, all it's gonna take is one guy or one juror to that has to walk 15 blocks to go to work because he can't get on the subway, or his kids can't go to school, or any number of reasons.
And also, all you know, we can segue right into the fact that you know, I believe New York is right for to be flipped, and the perfect guy to do it is Donald Trump.
Uh you know, all it takes is is that he could go out there and do a couple of uh couple of rallies, you know, just drive up from bed, Mr. You know, he there's plenty of places, you know, the Medellins, the uh Yankee Stadium, and some of the airports out in uh out on Long Island.
I would love to see him do a rally out there and say, look at these people that are trying to put me in jail.
Look what they're doing to our city, because he's still got a record uh, you know, uh in in New York.
He's got people I think would support him.
Now, especially it'd be great if, you know, if he drawed maybe fifty, sixty thousand people, wouldn't that send a message to Alvin Bragg, huh?
Good luck picking the jury there, Alvin.
Uh Well, the last gubernatorial race and congressional race showed, you know, Republicans could get close.
Um, Lee Zeldon did a really good job.
However, I will tell you that the what I call accelerated migration out of states like New York, New Jersey, and California and Illinois.
It's it's now made those states that were once near impossible totally impossible.
The demographics are just what they are.
Now, could eventually there'd be people so fed up that they could they could be a rebellion.
Maybe I thought if it would have happened or had a chance to happen, Lee Zeldon would have won.
He did a great job.
Uh and he would have been a much better governor than the one we have now.
But unfortunately, I'm just I don't share your optimism because so many people are leaving.
They'll they're losing hundreds of people leaving the state completely every day.
And by the way, they're being haunted by New York State IRS people.
There were there are more of those people working down in states like Florida than there are in New York.
You know, just on Wall Street alone, the last couple of years, over a trillion dollars in wealth left.
I mean, the They're gonna end up going broke before this is all said and done.
And then add to it the cost of illegal immigrants, forget it.
Well, but it's worth the try, Sean.
Look, I'm not I'm not against trying.
I'm just you know, I'm I think our odds will be much better in Pennsylvania.
Although they have they have an accelerated migration problem there.
Wisconsin, same thing, Michigan, same thing, Arizona, same thing.
Nevada, well, they're taking in way too many California residents.
So, but it's always hard.
Just um, I'm giving you the reality of it.
It's hard for any Republican to be elected president.
You've got to run the table.
And Democrats have gotten very, very good at this early voting, voting by mail, uh, legal ballot harvesting game, and Republicans that they're trying to catch up.
They've they certainly have uh launched a very good initiative with bank your vote because so many Republicans have been reluctant and resistant to daring to vote earlier vote by mail.
They've got to get over that.
And then the next step, in my view, is that these these Republicans absolutely must get in the legal ballot harvesting business.
Just like the Democrats and match or hopefully surpass those efforts.
Anyway, appreciate the uh call, my friend.
Thank you.

Uh also Sean Penn came out with a documentary.
I'm actually in the documentary.
Uh, but you know, we're gonna discuss why conservatives have pulled back support for the Ukrainian effort, and and and to his credit, I mean, this guy kept going back and putting himself in harm's way because of a cause he believes in.
I know he's sincere in his belief, but uh you can blame Joe Biden for the disaster because they didn't fight the war to win the war.
