Welcome back to the final hour, probably the most exciting hour of the Sean Hannity Radio Show.
Leo 2.0, filling in for Mr. Hannity.
Our call number is 1-800-941-Sean, 1-800-941-Sean.
Promise take your calls.
I'm very happy about this hour.
I've been happy the entire day, but I want to tell you, I told you at the top of the hour that, and I hope he's listening.
We just got my next guest.
That, you know, all you have is your credibility, and you got to be upfront and honest with the listeners.
When I was asked by Mr. Hannity and his executive producer, would I do the show and who would I want as a guest?
I asked for this particular individual.
I've been blessed to be a lawyer and a school teacher, and I read people very well.
This guest I've never met in person, but I've seen him on TV.
He's intelligent.
He's very straightforward.
And he addresses the issue without the BS.
And I think he cares about America.
And, you know, I start tweeting about this guy.
We never met.
I'm just going to be honest.
I'm going to lay it all on the table before I introduce him.
And he's listening right now.
He didn't know I was going to say this.
But like I said, again, no one tells me what to say.
So this guy is very, very upfront, and he holds a political office.
He's a congressman from Florida.
I have a friend in Los Angeles.
Her name is Claire.
She's listening.
And she came up a couple of days ago.
She said, you know, Leo, this congressman is really a good guy who cares about America.
I said, you know, Claire, I feel the same way.
I feel the same way about this guy.
And if this man, I predict he's going to either become a governor, a senator, a vice president, or a president.
And my biggest concern is who do we have after President Trump?
This guy meets my standards as a person who can carry on the MAGA, make America great, put America first, ignore the Democrat and Republican elites.
And without further ado, I want to introduce my last guest and by far a person I'm looking forward to talking to, actually talking to, instead of tweeting, Congressman Byron Donalds from Florida.
Congressman, thank you for joining me on the Sean Hannity show.
Leo, it's great to be with you, man.
Honestly, I didn't know you were going to say that, but I'll take it.
You know, everything else.
But it's a pleasure to be with you, my friend.
And thanks for having me on.
Well, everything I said, and it's, I mean, honestly, I can believe I can read people.
When you appear on Fox or CNN or MSNBC, you deliver the goods.
And you speak from the heart.
You speak putting the country first.
And again, I thank you.
And I want to get to a couple of subjects.
I want to address the border crisis.
I had Mark Morgan on, Congressman, about, in my opinion, I don't think most Americans really understand the severity of the problem at the southern border because they're preoccupied trying to put food on the table and get their kids to school.
From your perspective as a congressman, an issue, the whole border issue, an issue that plays, that is a major issue in the House.
What's your perspective on the severity of the border crisis?
Oh, man, it's not even the severity of it.
It's just an unmitigated disaster.
One of many created by Joe Biden.
That's why I started calling him the master of disaster the other day.
No disrespect to Apollo Creed.
I was thinking, Apollo.
I was thinking about that immediately when you said it.
Go ahead, please.
But he's the master of disaster.
And I think that when you look at the southern border, we have essentially allowed, or Joe Biden has allowed, the population of most states to come into our southern, into our country through the southern border, using the asylum process and bastardizing the asylum process.
Asylum was never intended to be a conduit for mass immigration.
It was intended for areas where there is brutal conflict to allow people who are in those countries an ability to escape to a safe place, not just to escape to America, to escape out of genocide or out of tyranny or out of just desolation from a war zone.
What Joe Biden has done, he's acquiesced to the radical left and has allowed just anybody to use it.
And so it's gotten so bad.
You now have Eric Adams in New York, the mayor of New York.
He's going to the southern border to go on a fact-finding mission, something that the borders are, Kamala Harris, never did.
So I find the hypocrisy from Joe Biden now saying, oh, we're going to build some border wall now, too little, too late.
He's created this disaster because he's the master of disaster.
And because his poll numbers are so bad, now he's trying to plug his poll numbers.
He's not trying to plug the border.
The other thing is, this is a key issue on this.
We have children in the United States who have been out of the classroom for two years because of the radical Democrat policy around COVID-19.
Well, now you have these young kids who are showing up in America's classrooms, and the schools are having to find interpreters for these kids because by Supreme Court precedent, they got to now be educated in our classrooms.
So, Leo, I'm a kid from Brooklyn, New York.
What happens to the poor black kid or the poor Puerto Rican kid in Brooklyn, New York, trying to get back the years they lost because of the crazy Democrat policy?
But now the resources aren't available for them because you have migrant children in these classrooms.
That's the totality of the disaster created by Joe Biden.
And, you know, I think you would agree education is the key to break the poverty cycle.
Our kids of all colors have been really harmed by the lockdown and the fact that you just mentioned the priority status of the migrants who must be given an education.
The kids, the American citizens and the American children are going to be not pushed to the bottom, but they're just going to be disadvantaged to an extent where they've already been disadvantaged.
And Congressman, my question to you is, given the reality that Joe Biden, unfortunately, is still the president, the Senate controls, is controlled by the Democrats, and you have House control.
What can, under the best scenario, until we take over all three branches of government, what can you and the House Republicans try to do to at least get the Democrats to a bargaining table to do something of a positive nature regarding the southern border?
Well, Leo, two things.
Look, I don't really believe in playing revisionist history, but it's important for Republicans to understand this.
You know, there was a bill on the House floor about a week ago that would have cut, you know, it would have cut an 8% across the overall border federal spending, and it would have required that we pass H.R. 2, the House border package.
That measure did not succeed.
Some of my colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle chose not to support it.
But the only way you're going to do that is you have to leverage the disaster of our border policy against the Democrats in the Senate and make them change something.
So as we go through the appropriations process for the rest of this Congress this year, we have to demand border security and not the fig leaf of 50 miles of border wall that may take a year to construct under Joe Biden because the man doesn't know how to run anything.
We're talking about immediate policies that have to be agreed to by the Democrats and by the president, or this government doesn't deserve to be funded.
Look, I know that there are things that the government should be doing and must be doing, but the primary role of the federal government is to secure the country and its peoples.
And if the government cannot do that, it doesn't deserve to be funded.
I'm sorry.
Talking to Congressman Byron Donnell of Florida.
Congressman, your proposal, let me ask you this question.
Is Ukraine the elephant in the room that is blocking border security?
Is that the elephant in the room?
I'm just asking because I'm trying to figure out what would prevent the proposal that you just articulated from passing.
And I'm wondering if Ukraine is the problem.
No, Ukraine isn't the problem with respect to this.
That's just something that the Democrats want.
People need to understand what Joe Biden really wants for Ukraine is another $80 to $100 billion through next year.
Ukraine's not the elephant.
It is the radical front groups that support the Democrat Party that have been wanting radical open immigration for all these years.
And so you're going to have to force these Democrats to make a decision between a radical element of their party or security of the nation.
And the number one thing that Democrats want more than just wide open borders is they want money to go into the government to continue to fund some of the projects they got rolling around in our government.
That's really what the Democrats want.
Fair enough.
You're going to have to take a hard stance in order to get the border secured.
Talking to Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida.
Congressman, what do you expect next week from your colleagues regarding a speaker?
Well, I'll tell you what I want.
Like, I support Jim Jordan.
I endorse Jim.
I support Jim.
I want my colleagues to support Jim as well.
I believe he's the person to unite our conference and get us back on course to accomplishing things.
But the biggest thing is I need my colleagues to just, let's make a decision.
Let's get in the room.
Let's figure it out.
And let's get back to business.
Because, you know, while we're dealing with having to find the new speaker, you know, nobody's talking about Joe Biden.
Nobody's talking about the impeachment inquiry.
Nobody's really talking much about the southern border.
And the Democrats are actually liking this.
So we need to figure out our business fast.
That's my advice to my colleagues, the ones that I've already talked to, the others I'm quite sure I will.
Let's get back in the room.
Let's figure it out.
Let's pick a speaker of the House.
But then we have to be committed to cutting spending and securing our border.
That needs to be the two goals for the Republican Conference going forward.
Fair enough.
Talking to Congressman Byron Donald of Florida.
Congressman, let me just simply say this to you.
I know you have a bright political future, and I just want you to know, as I mentioned at the top of the program, when you run, you're the guy I'm going to support because I think you come across it just in this interview in being straightforward, telling the truth, putting the country first.
And I think a lot of people listening to this program and people who, like I said, I've never met you.
You and I, we've never met.
First time we're actually talking.
I think you want the best for America.
And I think that comes across.
I think you have a bright political future.
And I support your endeavors.
I thank you very much for joining us on the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
Leo, thanks so much for having me on.
I'll do it anytime, brother.
Appreciate you.
Thank you.
That's Congressman Byron Donald of Florida, who I believe has a bright political future.
Let me just be candid.
That guy runs for higher office.
I'm going to help him.
We're going to take a break.
We're going to take your phone calls.
I promise.
This is the Sean Hannity Radio Program 1-800 941-Sean.

Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
Leo 2.0 fill in for Mr. Hannity.
I want to thank all my guests.
Now, the most important guests are you.
Let's make a few phone calls.
I think Andy's been on for a long time.
Hi, Andy.
Welcome to the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
Yes, how are you doing today?
Good.
Thanks for listening.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, really quick, I'm a realtor, and I know that our next president is a former realtor also.
Just so you know, 2004, 5, 6, and 7 did not come calling again.
You cannot value your own property, so Trump, that should be dismissed.
You can't value your own property.
It's impossible.
Doesn't matter if it's commercial, residential, anything.
So I just wanted to get that out of the way.
But I do have a question for you.
Yes.
Okay, the question is, let's just say for some reason Trump can't run.
And I mean, I want him to run.
I want him to win.
What do you think about a possibility?
Because they both look presidential, although I save her one over the other heavily.
But a Glenn Young against Gavin Newsome.
I know it'd be late for them to enter, but I think they both have a stronger.
Well, that's a good question.
Let me answer that for you.
I'll give you the answer while you're listening.
Look, first of all, Gavin Newsom is the worst governor ever, period.
And I'm just, I'm trying to be objective from a Democratic standpoint.
He's horrific.
I would expect if Biden drops out, a laundry list of Democrats will run.
Pete Buttiget, don't forget Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, don't forget even Bernie Sanders.
Glenn Young, let's just say it was possible.
He still has to overcome the existing group of Republicans, DeSantis, Nikki Haley.
My concern personally, I'm just speaking for Leo because I can't speak for anyone else.
I don't know if Glenn Young cares about America the way I want him to care.
Now, he did a great job in Virginia.
He honed in on parents' anger about how the schools were being taken over by these districts.
I need to see more of his platform.
I'll tell you right now, if Trump is not running, just to finish up the call of your question, again, just speaking for Leo, I don't see anybody I would support right now.
I don't see anyone in the field that I would support.
I need to hear policy.
I need to hear sincerity.
I need to hear someone like a Trump, because you know, the current candidates are basically acting like Trump.
They support Trump policies, but they're saying you're getting the policies without Trump.
The policies are Trump.
The energy comes from Trump.
The charisma comes from Trump.
So these individuals who are running against him, you know, they're trying to sell you a bag of coal.
They cannot implement what Trump implemented.
They cannot do what Trump did.
So I don't know.
I would just probably, if Trump was not involved in the race, I would sit on the sideline.
But let me tell you right now, I live in California.
Gavin Newsom is a disaster.
Gavin Newsom is a headache.
And what he's trying to do, he's lying by ignoring what he has done to the state of California.
He has destroyed the state of California.
I can't say it any clearer.
He has completely destroyed it.
We'll be right back.
More of your phone calls, Sean Hannity show.
You ever wish your personal safety came with a safety net?
Well, it does with Burner, B-Y-R-N-A.
Now, in today's world, protection is paramount.
Now, Burner is a less lethal launcher, and it offers a middle ground.
And by the way, it's legal in all 50 states.
No permits, no background checks needed.
Now, this is not your ordinary defense tool.
Burner is simple and easy to use for everyone.
It delivers powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds that incapacitate attackers for up to 40 minutes.
Now, both law enforcement and everyday civilians trust Burner, and that's a testament to their effectiveness.
Now, remember, safety is about choices.
The Burner launcher gives an alternative to escalation a chance to choose restraint.
Burner is an American company.
Their manufacturing facilities are in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Check out their website, burner.com slash Hannity.
You'll get 10% off.
That's byrna.com slash Hannity.
And when you see their videos, they'll blow you away because when defense is needed, making the right choice means valuing every life.
Exposing left-wing media bias.
No stone left unturned.
The Sean Hannity Show is back on the air.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity National Radio Show, Leo 2.0, and we're going to take your phone calls within a matter of seconds.
You know, I want to, you know, I've had a great time, and it's not over yet.
But, you know, it's not possible without great staffing.
And I want to thank Eric, Jeremiah, and Annie, who have made, you know, have made me feel very comfortable in doing this show.
I do radio, and I do TV, as you know, but, you know, filling in for Sean Hannity is a major responsibility.
And I appreciate the help and support that I've received from his staff and team.
So thank you, all of you.
Let's take some phone calls.
Let's go to Amy.
Amy, welcome to the Sean Hannity Radio Show.
Hi, Leo.
Thank you for taking my call.
Great show today.
Great guest.
Thank you.
An honor to be on the same show as future President Trump, hopefully.
My comment was about him.
I think it would be mind-blowing if he were temporary speaker of the house and then became president again.
Could you just think of him overseeing the impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden?
Would that not be sweet?
First of all, I think it's a brilliant idea.
Secondly, even though he's running for president, I think he can handle it and I think it would help him.
And I'll sit here and say this, Amy.
I'm glad you brought this up because from a strategic standpoint, if the Republican Party is going to unite, they should all be behind him.
They should vote for him.
But I hope they put his name in nomination.
And it will tell you, Amy, and all you Sean Hannity listeners, the rhinos who do not like him.
I want you to understand something.
Rhinos are never Trumpers within the Republican Party.
They're more dangerous than Democrats because they pretend to want to, you know, change the country.
But no, they're part of the problem.
But I think it's a brilliant idea.
Everything you just articulated makes perfect sense.
But I hope they put Trump's name.
I hope Jim Jordan eventually becomes a speaker.
But if you want to find out who are the rhinos, put Trump's name into nomination.
And those who vote against him, they're the rhinos.
They try to hide their hatred.
Very good call.
Let's go to Howard.
Howard, welcome to the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
Hello, Leo.
Thank you for taking my call.
My pleasure.
Quick, quick intro, buddy.
You are the real deal.
Educated, knowledgeable with facts, passionate and authentic, and we love you and keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you.
The other thing I wanted to talk about is Bidenomics.
And we know that this Bidenomics and the economy is going to be the real issue this year.
Yes.
Always will be.
Well, Bidenomics is falling apart and we're missing an opportunity because it is not Bidenomics.
It's Biden comics.
That's what it is.
I like that.
Well, good.
And I think you and your colleagues throughout Fox and the conservative media, if we pick up on Biden comics, drill it home and talk about the insanity of Biden's economy.
Listen, Howard, I'm going to start putting that out in tweets, and I'm going to try to get that statement out.
Biden comics.
I like it.
Listen, you guys, brilliant calls.
I love it.
I love great calls.
That is a very creative idea.
I'm going to even try to pass that on to the president.
Thank you very much for your call.
That's a great idea.
It's great.
Biden comics.
Yeah?
This guy, listen, as I said an hour ago, there's no one in this country who honestly believes he's making independent decisions.
There's no way.
He's not capable.
This is not a question of his age.
His skill set, his mental competency is at issue.
You couldn't put this guy in charge of any project.
You couldn't put him in charge of a McDonald's.
He's not all there.
You know it, and I know it.
Okay?
And the only reason why he's still in office is because 95% of the media protects him.
Carl, welcome to the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
Hey, Leo, glad to talk to you.
I got a question.
I know the Republicans passed H.R. 2 back in May.
That was five months ago when Title 42 ended.
And I know they're working hard continuously to try and get something passed that will actually pass through the Senate.
But why not take something piecemeal, kind of like a continuing resolution, which they keep kicking the can down the road with?
Maybe just start with more funding for the Border Patrol, add manpower to them, or maybe appoint another agency to do the processing of the immigrants to free up the actual Border Patrol agents to do their real job.
Whatever it is, pass it.
Whatever they can get the votes for in the House, make the Senate shoot it down.
But we need something to contradict these talking points that the Republicans haven't done anything about the border.
I like what you're saying, and I think it goes back to what Amy said about putting Trump's name up there.
A true test, and I think, I don't know if you heard Donald speak.
They had a bill that included some form of border security, and it got shot down by Republicans.
You see, there is a core of Republicans who have an R in front of their names, but they're Democrats.
I mean, there are, let me just see if I can say it as clear as possible.
There are Republicans who believe in open borders.
It's just a fact.
Thank you for your call.
I mean, I want to make sure people understand this.
Just because someone has an R in front of their name, that means nothing.
That means nothing.
Don't drink that Kool-Aid.
Okay, let me be clear.
Let me give you a perfect example because that last caller makes a perfect argument.
I don't like Mitch McConnell.
To me, he's not a Trump Republican.
Now, if Mitch McConnell decided to run again, which I hope he doesn't, I would probably move to Kentucky to run against him.
He has done everything to destroy President Trump and the Senate Republican leadership.
I want people to understand this.
If there's one issue or one thing I want you to take away, that last caller, you know, let's do a piecemeal approach.
Will you have maybe 15 to 20 percent of the Republican Party that are basically really rhinos who are Democrats with an R in front of their names?
How can you get anything passed?
You cannot because they support the Democrats.
And Democrats are very smart.
And I'll tell you one thing, one mistake Kevin McCarthy made.
When he gave his speech after the vote, did you hear him talk about how he relied on Nancy Pelosi?
I almost fell out of my seat.
He was relying upon Nancy Pelosi.
How many of you rely upon Nancy Pelosi?
How many of you trust Nancy Pelosi?
But I heard Kevin McCarthy mention Nancy Pelosi basically had his back.
Really?
He too, Brutus.
He too.
That's what I'm talking about.
Democrats will lie to you, take advantage of you, but they won't back you.
No, they use you.
That's why I get a kick with CNN have a couple of Republicans.
Those are Democrats.
Those are actual Democrats.
And they put that.
Oh, you're a Republican.
That's a phony Republican.
You got to remember that, folks.
Don't be naive.
Read between.
Listen to them.
One more quick call before we take a break.
Dustin, welcome to the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
Hey, Leo.
Great show.
Thank you.
You know, I just wanted to say I am all in for Byron Donalds for any other candidate.
I'd be all about that guy.
You know, I've seen him in the committees.
He's very knowledgeable.
He's not contentious.
He brings up the facts.
I think it's his financial background, but like numbers, he doesn't lie.
I mean, he just gets right to the point.
You and I are on the same channel.
Listen, you guys, if you heard the program, I've never met the guy before.
He comes across real over the TV.
I texted him when they asked me to do this show.
I put down his name.
He didn't know what I was going to say about him.
I agree with you.
You and I, we read him the same way.
I have a friend in L.A. Her name is Claire.
She felt the same way about this guy.
This guy seems real.
If you're not going to run, I'm voting for him.
What?
Thank you for your call.
Let me explain that.
Let me answer what Dustin just said about me.
No, this is my goal.
Again, I want to be honest with you.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I'm supporting President Trump, and I'm looking beyond Trump.
It depends because I'll just sit on the sideline.
I'm not going to support a, I'm never going back to the Democratic Party.
They're crazy.
They're crazy.
But I'm not just going to vote for a Republican.
So, you know, I'm going to exercise my right.
I'll just sit on the sidelines.
And if a Byron Donald pops up or a Laura Trump, yeah, I'm jumping in.
I'll help.
But I'm not going to vote for a Republican just because they're not a Democrat.
Sorry.
Because Republicans have destroyed the Republican Party.
Repeat.
Republicans have destroyed the Republican Party.
You look at Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Jon Thune.
Give me a break.
Those guys are Democrats.
So let's take a break.
We'll come back.
More of your phone calls.
This is the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
We'll be right back.
Jobs, health care.
The news you care about is right here.
Hannity Watch is on.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
Leo 2.0 here for Mr. Sean Hannity.
1-800-1-800-941.
Sean is the number.
Let me also pay my respects to another one of the employees who have made it possible for my job to be so easy today, Ethan, who's on the board.
I want to thank you very much as well for helping me get through these three hours.
And let's continue with some phone calls.
I think it's Michelle.
Can we go to Michelle?
If I got that name correct, welcome.
Is it right?
Yeah.
Hi, Michelle.
I've been listening to you since the 90s, and I've seen the change from Leo 1.0 to.
Yes.
And I like you know, I want to do the same thing.
Yes.
I was a college-aged liberal when I first started listening to you.
Now I'm a conservative Trump supporter.
Well, we've grown, Michelle.
And the Democrat, for me, the Democratic Party that I used to belong to, that party no longer exists.
And when I made the change, I look back now.
I made the smartest move.
I'm happier now.
And I'm all in.
This country has to be placed first, and Trump does that.
And I'm glad you and I have we have seen the light.
And I thank you very much for calling and listening to the program.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate it.
Let's go to Taylor.
Taylor, welcome to the Sean Hannity Radio Program.
Hey, thanks for having me.
My pleasure.
I really like the comment you made earlier.
The Republican Party has the Republicans have destroyed the Republican Party.
Yeah.
And I think that really stands out.
But the thing that pretty much every single career politician has done, they build a platform on nothing but a set of loose values.
Yes.
You're right.
Preach.
You're right.
But the best thing to do is look at what their ethics are.
If they've got a history of flip-flopping back and forth, changing their minds over and over and over again, they're not that trustworthy.
I agree.
I agree.
Well, actually, let me give you, let me jump on this gentleman's point.
Go back and watch the video of the 2016 debate when Trump was next to Jeb Bush, and Trump was getting booed by the Republican base.
And you know what he said?
He said, you are mad at me because I'm not taking your money.
I don't need you.
That's what I'm talking about.
Go look at the 2016 presidential debate when Trump was on the stage with 12 other Republicans.
They hated him because he wouldn't sell out to the donor base.
And Bush had all the money.
Look, I don't have any problem with people supporting other candidates.
Don't get me wrong.
I just want you to understand what this gentleman just said.
No values, no morals, no principles.
Trump principles simply put America first.
And he doesn't need their money.
That's why they hate him.
That's why they hate him.
Let's go one quick call.
Sue, are you there?
Leo, hi.
Hi.
I'm from the great state of Chicago where our motto is come for the food, stay because you got murdered.
Great show.
I just wanted to know if the Republicans have thought of this plan to stick it to the Democrats.
I think they should make Trump Secretary of State, or I'm sorry, Speaker of the House in Article 25, Biden and Kamala, and who is the next president if you don't have a president or a vice president.
Let me answer that while you're listening.
Thank you very much for the call.
First of all, I like the idea of Trump being Speaker.
It would not happen.
Biden and Kamala both stepping down.
Not going to happen.
Not in this election cycle.
But there is a strong possibility of Trump being the Speaker.
We'll find out next week.
