	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	All right, from the great state of Iowa, where, well, with the wind chill, it's about 20 degrees below zero, but uh, you know, who needs Florida on a day like today?
	Um, it is officially now the kickoff of our presidential election year, 294 days, best election coverage on your radio dial.
	That is our promise.
	That is our pledge.
	We kick it off today.
	Uh we will have former president Donald J. Trump on the program today.
	Uh last week we had Governor DeSantis, we had Nikki Haley.
	Uh we've been, you know, I've tried to give time to other candidates.
	Um, but he's winning by the last poll is he's a 48%.
	It has Nikki Haley at 20, it has Governor DeSantis at 16.
	I'm not sure.
	I think that DeSantis number might be a little deceptive.
	It's going to be interesting to watch.
	Um there's some things about the polls, though, that bother me is that there's never been a Republican that has won by more than 12 percentage points in in the Iowa caucus.
	And that was Bob Dole.
	All right.
	So this has a history here.
	The idea that, you know, 28-point lead is a really, you know, high number.
	But I can know I know the media.
	If Donald Trump comes in and only wins by 16 and set a record, it still would not be enough.
	Oh, he underperformed by 10, 12 points by based on our polling, is if their polling has been so perfect over the years that we should really trust them.
	Um, but anyway, it is interesting.
	If you want to look at polls, and the person that ought to be most concerned about polling, yeah, that would be uh a guy by the name of Joe Biden because his poll numbers are atrocious.
	We now have the ABC poll that has come out.
	Uh his approval rating is 33%, and you know, worse than Donald Trump's lowest was 36%, the lowest since George W. Bush from 2006 to 2008.
	That was at the end of his presidency.
	It was a war-weary country at the time.
	Um but still Joe Joe Biden is lower.
	58% now disapprove of Biden's work.
	I mean, what how are you how would anyone approve of this?
	What exactly is it that he's done that you you give him credit or props for?
	You know, are you better off than you were four years ago?
	On every measure, the answer is no.
	Okay, can you name a single policy he's implemented that has bettered your life or better the life of the country?
	And the answer is no.
	And then you look demographically, he's only got approval rating of 31% among women.
	This is why Republicans need to listen to me.
	Don't be idiots on the issue of abortion.
	You've got to know, and I say this as somebody that believes in the sanctity of life that is pro-life.
	Up on when I analyze it politically, if you want to know why 22 wasn't a wave election, it was all about Roe v.
	Wade and this demonization and demagoguing that Republicans are going to take away woman's right to choose, which was never the case ever.
	But they demagogued it just like they do everything else.
	I promise you, all you're gonna hear, I saw that you know, Biden's surrogates, I think they might have realized last minute that they made a mistake bailing out of Iowa and bailing out of New Hampshire.
	So they're bringing in, you know, Governor Pritzker of Illinois, is if anyone cares, and he's like, we're gonna talk about MAGA Republicans.
	That's their whole strategy.
	MAGA Republicans, a threat to democracy.
	January 6th, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, because that's all they've got.
	They don't have a track record.
	They don't have uh a record that they can run on and say, vote for us because our policies are working four more years, four more years, and actually mean it.
	Anyway, 31% of women now.
	That is, and also a new low for men of 34%.
	Usually women favor Biden more than women.
	I mean, David Axelrod has been pounding the crap out of out of Joe Biden, as has James Carville, as has Ben Jones, Maureen Dowd.
	I mean, these are pretty powerful voices within the Democratic apparatus, if you will.
	Um, and usually what they say a lot of people pay attention to.
	But then you look at other demographics that we have.
	He has a 28% approval among independents.
	I mean, if this poll holds, this he will not be re-elected.
	There's no candidate with these numbers that can be re-elected.
	Break it down demographically even further, only 32% among moderates, a low of 41% among college graduates, 10% off his uh average in that group.
	His approval rating is 21 points below average among African Americans, 15 points below in terms of Hispanic Americans.
	There was a poll last week that had Donald Trump winning that demographic by about four points.
	That's significant.
	Because, again, if those numbers hold and if it's a rematch with Biden and Trump, I mean, that's that's going to be what it is.
	You look at, you know, some of the other points here that show up in this poll is an approval rating of 65 percent among black Americans.
	Uh Americans age 50 uh and up, but interestingly, and maybe the message that the Democratic Party really doesn't care about minorities the way that they claim, and we'll speak later to Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson of North Carolina,
	uh, because every two years, every four years, in come the Democratic politicians, you know, offer you know, begging for votes, and historically, in by large numbers, sometimes over 90%, the African American voters gone to the Democratic Party.
	And I ask, what have they done to earn your vote besides come every two and four years?
	Then you never see him at any point in between.
	And if you look at predominantly minority areas, especially in big cities, how's your school system doing there?
	How's law and order doing there and safety and security for you and your family?
	How's that all working out?
	Have they put the resources in place if it they followed through on any of the promises they make?
	But he got, I think 88% of the black vote.
	And nobody wanted to be reminded as I tried to remind people so often that this is the guy that partnered with the former Klansman to say that they didn't want integration of public schools because he didn't want public schools, his words to be racial jungles.
	Can you imagine any Republican, any conservative ever saying that?
	It wouldn't go over well.
	And I don't think it would ever be forgotten.
	Um the economy, broad economic discontent in spite of the Bidenomics message of the last nine months, then they they stopped using it, now they're going back to it.
	It's not mattering, you know, given 2022's 40-year inflation high, and inflation is still way too high and still out of control, and we have high interest rates, you know, as a result of all of it.
	Only 13% of Americans now say they've gotten better off financially since Biden took office.
	Forty-three percent said they they are not as well off.
	Uh, you know, a point from the 37-year record set in September.
	I mean, everybody knows what what's happening to the economy because they're living it every day.
	That's what happens when you live the economy, and you're not just reading statistics.
	When I broke down the Bureau of Labor Statistics, you know, jobs numbers the other day, I was trying to point out to you that these numbers, you know, people have misinterpreted them.
	This is these are part-time jobs being created.
	Uh, the cost of everything is still going higher.
	On the economy in particular, you know, 13%.
	That's insane.
	Uh, but back to the poll, it is barely more than a quarter of Americans say that the American dream still holds true.
	As a father, that's heartbreaking.
	My parents never taught me that.
	Now, my parents, all they did their whole life was they grew up poor, both of them.
	My mom and the South Bronx, my dad in Bedstein in Brooklyn.
	They had no money.
	All four of my grandparents came from Ireland at the turn of the last century.
	They didn't have they didn't grow up with money.
	For them, it was a big deal to get a 50 by 100 lot Cape Cod house, and I had three older sisters and one tiny bathroom.
	I went to the bathroom behind my garage more often than I did inside the house because they were in there putting their makeup on.
	Learned a lot about women in those years.
	Learned a lot about makeup.
	That would serve me well later in life.
	Uh, but anyway, but I mean, are you serious?
	Less than a quarter of Americans believe that?
	About half as many as as said so 13 years ago, and you define it as if you work hard, you'll get ahead.
	And only 27% of this ABC News polls show the American dream still holds up.
	Why would we why would Americans ever vote for people that are destroying why look, 60% of our fellow Americans?
	You know, I look at the people in Iowa, honestly, and I've talked to a lot of people since I got here.
	And I was here earlier than you would think yesterday.
	And I talked to a lot of people.
	And all the people here, I just look at them as like, wow, this is salt of the earth country.
	These are the people that, first of all, they feed not only our country, and they're so big into agriculture and farming and raising the food that we eat.
	And I'm like, okay, they get up at dawn, they work all day.
	These are the people that work hard, play by the rules, pay their taxes, raise their kids, take them to church on Sunday, put in their eight, 16 hours a day, do their homework with their kids.
	They, you know, throw a meal together, try to make it healthy, you know, a meat, macaroni and cheese, riceroni, those were my those were my staples.
	And they they crash and they go to sleep and they get up every day and they do it all over again.
	Every job, no matter what job you have, and I don't really feel like I'm working, it's a grind.
	You gotta work hard at it.
	And that's what the people of Iowa do.
	I don't know how they put up with this 20 degree below zero.
	It's not usually like this.
	I was trying to explain to a friend of mine on the phone last night.
	He goes, no, well, come on, it really can't be that cold.
	I'm like, no, this cold goes right to your bones in seconds.
	I had to carry my bag from a car into the hotel, and I didn't have my glove on.
	And I thought my hand was gonna freeze off.
	Like you're gonna get stuck to the bag, it was that cold.
	I mean, it's cold.
	And I and the predictions are that there's gonna be a great showing tonight.
	And by the way, that the only one good thing that works for the people of Iowa is that it's it's only about an hour.
	Oh, yeah.
	I saw that I saw that.
	What was it?
	Aroma noodles, uh, and they put it outside and they had a fork and they stuck the fork up and it froze.
	It froze in like seconds.
	Unbelievable.
	Um, you know, Joe Biden, one of the president's you know, suck-up surrogates, you know, downplaying Biden's polling.
	It's a disaster.
	Now, I'll tell you what why he did this to Iowa New Hampshire, because he lost Iowa in New Hampshire last time.
	If it was not for a guy in South Carolina with the name of James Kleiber, very powerful Democrat, well-respected Democrat in that state, if it was not for him, he saved Biden's ass.
	And I'll never forgive him for it.
	I'll forgive him for all his liberal democratic policies, but not thrusting uh this on um on the American people.
	So they're sending in Illinois governor, you know, J.B. Pritzker.
	Like they've like the people of Iowa, they don't want to hear from them.
	They don't want to hear from anybody.
	And they've and here's the beauty of the people of Iowa.
	They were showing up this weekend weekend even after two feet of snow came flying down from the sky.
	Uh, and they still showed up whenever they could.
	They're paying attention, and it's gonna be interesting to see what happens.
	No matter what Donald Trump does, if he doesn't win by 28 points, the media was, oh my gosh, he underperformed.
	I'm like, okay.
	I I think it's probably although I don't take any election for granted.
	The caucus system is a little funky.
	So just like in New Hampshire, the fact that they allow independents to decide whether they want to vote in the Republican primary or Democratic primary.
	I don't like that system.
	Um, but it is what it is.
	The system is what it is.
	If I'm Governor DeSantis, I would want to hold on to number two, and if he can get 20%, which is where Nikki Haley is now, that would be a good, I think that would be a good showing for the governor.
	Nikki Haley on the other side wants to make this a in her mind, and she's saying it publicly, it's a two-person race.
	Uh and you know, so we'll watch that very, very closely.
	It starts at eight Eastern.
	By the time we're on at 9 Eastern, we'll have a lot to tell you.
	Uh through, especially throughout the whole hour.
	Um, there's a big divide in the Democratic Party.
	They're dealing with their own drama, operatives in Obama's orbit.
	This was in Politico today, think that Biden's re-election strategy is all wrong.
	He's never been an organizational wizard.
	Instead, he's often relied on his instinct and gut, yet another, by the way, his gut is dead wrong.
	What did what Obama famously say?
	Never underestimate Joe's ability to F things up.
	Uh, although Joe did get a lot of money in the last quarter of 2023.
	He's got like 117 million dollars cash on hand.
	That means what is it gonna what are those ads gonna be?
	January 6th, Democracy in Jeopardy.
	Trump Trump Trump.
	Uh abortion.
	Uh Republicans want dirty air and water.
	They want to kill grandma and grandpa.
	They're racist, they're sexist, they're misogynistic, they're homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic.
	I can't even keep up with how many phobics there are.
	But that's their old playbook.
	But we're watching all of it closely.
	It's fun to be here.
	The people couldn't be nicer.
	I'm glad I bought a new coat.
	I got a what do you call it?
	North Face.
	And I got new boots.
	You you mean you and James got a new coat.
	I bought one for James.
	Yes, I know you have matching boots and coats.
	It's super cute, actually.
	I got him boots because I knew he didn't have any.
	Yes, I know.
	Again, matching boots and matching coats here at the Hannity Show.
	That's what happens when you move on to the box.
	What is wrong with you?
	I I don't I don't know why you're getting so defensive.
	I'm just stating something like that.
	He moved to Florida.
	He's married to my sister.
	I wasn't insinuating he wasn't married to your sister.
	I'm just saying, I'm not sure.

	Yes or no?

	Promo code Hannity.
	Uh, anyway, so oh, there was one other poll I didn't get to.
	Uh, a CBS Ugov poll.
	Trump now leads the GOP field by a whopping 55 points.
	It's look to me, it seems insurmountable on paper, and I'm just giving pure analysis of this.
	If if these polls are anywhere near accurate, and they all show Donald Trump, they expect that he's gonna have a good night tonight.
	If he has a good night, not defined by meeting the expectations of the mob in the media, but I think any number that beat Bob Dole's record would probably be considered by all objective people as being a big win.
	Um, then you're gonna look very closely who comes in second, who comes in third, uh, what the margins are.
	Uh, in the last poll leading into today, Trump was at 48%.
	Uh Nikki Haley at 20%, Ron DeSantis at 16.
	Um, I probably I I probably would think that in terms of a ground game, which is very important for caucus night.
	If I had to guess, I would say based on what I have seen, everybody I've spoken to.
	Uh Governor DeSantis probably has the best ground game.
	Uh the Reverend, what is it, Vanderpleitz is his name, uh, who's very influential evangelical leader in the state has supported Governor DeSantis.
	Uh, if I'm Governor DeSantis, I would want to still I would want to come in second and exceed that last poll's expectations.
	If I'm on Donald Trump, anything over 15 points, I consider a massive win.
	In spite of the last poll being 28.
	If I am Nikki Haley, you know, you want to beat Ron DeSantis.
	And, you know, she thinks that would give her momentum going into New Hampshire.
	The last two New Hampshire polls uh had Trump leading there, one by seven, one by twenty, and it's gonna be a race to next week.
	Well, by the way, this goes very quickly.
	This whole process, it's gonna unfold fast.
	Then Nevada, then South Carolina, then we're headed to Super Tuesday, and this this thing is gonna fly by.
	Uh, but anyway, so we'll see what happens.
	Um, we're gonna watch very closely all of this.
	It starts at 8 o'clock Eastern and we'll we'll probably have the results at some point during the nine o'clock hour when I'm on Hannity on Fox and we'll have the best analysis, you know, find out what happened and we'll get people's different takes on all of this.
	And you know it's just it's kind of, you know, game day.
	I love that.
	I love game day coverage.
	But if you missed it at the top of the hour, Donald Trump will will join us.
	Oh, did you know I don't know if you saw over the weekend, but Joe Biden was called a loser.
	Swing state voters heckle the president during a Pennsylvania trip.
	I mean who would ever think of Joe Biden as a loser?
	I mean he's so exciting.
	You know what?
	I didn't even think they could hear me.
	I mean I was yelling very loud but you know that's because it's your state of Pennsylvania.
	By the way if it was you it would not shock anybody in this audience it would have been bleep the bleep bleep bleep loser.
	Yeah.
	Well anyway whether whether Biden can make it to next November is going to be you know a big issue in and of itself.
	Look there's so many different angles and issues but we're we're definitely watching these historically bad Biden poll numbers you know are now hitting a new low and the Z ABC poll is as bad as it gets I'm not sure how many people noticed we're not going to spend a lot of time on it today.
	We'll spend more after the the caucuses today and and obviously analysis tomorrow but uh Georgia DA, Fulton County DA Fanny Willis is now playing the race card claiming the improper relationship accusations are based on race.
	Well she paid the guy 600 an outside contractor more money than she gets paid to be involved in the Trump case then we have ethical issues about you know was there coordination with the January 6th committee was there coordination with the Biden White House and Biden lawyers was any of that there she made these comments in a church of all places and uh here's what she said.
	But dear God are you listening why does Commissioner Thorne and so many others question my decision on a special counsel Lord your flaw hard headed and imperfect child I'm a little confused.
	I appointed three special counsels as is my right to do, paid them all the same hourly rate.
	They only attacked one.
	I hired one white woman, a good personal friend and great lawyer.
	A superstar, I tell you.
	I hired one white man, brilliant, my friend and a great lawyer.
	And I hired one black man, another superstar, a good lawyer.
	great friend and a great winner.
	Oh, Lord, they're going to be mad when I call them out on this nonsense.
	First thing they say, oh, she's going to play the race card now.
	But no, God, isn't it them who's playing the race card when they only question one?
	Isn't it them playing the race card when they constantly think, I need someone from some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I've been doing almost 30 years.
	Wow.
	Really?
	We're going to play the race card?
	No, they have, as they say, she has some splaining to me.
	to do explaining to do to everybody and that would be uh you paid this guy a fortune and then you're taking trips to the Caribbean exotic vacations with the money that what he's being paid and then you're both going up to the White House to meet with what maybe White House counsel maybe White House operatives on on how you're gonna go after Donald Trump coordination.
	Anyway it's insane uh if you want to talk about insanity this is the story of the day though your FAA is actively now recruiting workers because of DEI.
	Now up until recently I didn't know what DEI was diversity uh equity and inclusion that's what it stands for.
	It's for short you say DEI.
	You know it's sort of like these HR manuals that every company has ever Even the companies I work for, I've never read them.
	Don't bother reading them because I could reduce all of those HR manuals into basically one page.
	You know, and one part of the page would be optional.
	Because you know, some c some companies might feel uncomfortable acknowledging that we're endowed by our creator.
	But acknowledging God.
	But the golden rule love God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul, and your neighbor as yourself.
	Treat others as you would be like to be treated, Linda.
	Um, I wish you treated me better.
	Then I would treat you better.
	I couldn't help myself.
	But now to get this.
	They're looking to now hire as a result of DEI, people that suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusive inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency's website.
	Targeted disabilities or those disabilities that the federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special infamous uh emphasis on recruitment and hiring.
	It's on the FAA website.
	They include hearing, vision.
	That might be required for the FAA.
	Just wondering.
	The pilot of any plane I may happen to be on.
	Uh instructing them how to fly the plane.
	That would not be good.
	But that's today's other news of the day that we don't have enough time for, unfortunately, uh, because we have so much else going on.
	Uh Democrats, by the way, are planning to crash Iowa's Republican caucuses tonight.
	Axios reporting that some Iowa Democrats' independents are planning to crash the Republican caucuses tonight and become Republicans for a day to vote for Nikki Haley, but mostly against former President Donald Trump.
	It's unclear how many will show up, but crossover voting is a low-key tradition in Iowa caucuses.
	It's one of the big unknowns heading into tonight.
	We've got to watch that.
	But Fanny Willis now playing the race card.
	Pretty unbelievable.
	I do notice that the Davos elite, those are the billionaires and millionaires that fly their private jets and then lecture the rest of us how we need to ride a bicycle, get rid of our stoves and our air conditioners, and stop eating meat.
	They're wondering what a second term of Donald Trump would look like.
	If I'm Mitch McConnell, I'm not liking this article.
	Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer's big secret, they're closer than ever.
	Well, no wonder confidence in Republicans has gone to an all-time low.
	I look, I know a lot of my Republican friends are upset and angry with Speaker Johnson, you know, and he's down to two votes.
	And unfortunately, they have too many liberals in the Republican caucus.
	There's nothing that he can do about that.
	And it makes his job that much harder.
	And I know they're going to hold off the government shutdown now again until March with a continuing resolution, which he didn't want to do.
	I don't really see a way out for him unless every Republican, as I said early on, when the Kevin McCarthy, you know, issue was going on, that they need to get in a room, check their egos, check their phones, come up with a two or three-point agenda that everybody agrees on, and just fight for those things.
	Borders, budget.
	Start with those two.
	And if they're not doing it, that's the sad part.
	And the people that are going to suffer in the end are going to be you, me, and the American people.
	People try to make a lot out of the fact.
	If you listen to Donald Trump's voice, you can hear it.
	Even if even if you vote and pass away, it's worth it.
	Okay.
	It means you don't know Donald Trump if you if you don't know that his tongue was in his cheek.
	You really don't.
	He did tell one protester to go home to mommy, which I thought was pretty funny.
	I mean, everything was perfect.
	And I did three, I did three rallies.
	You've taken millions.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	That's all right.
	Go home to mommy.
	Your mommy's working.
	Go home to mommy, your mommy's worker.
	I mean, come on, that's funny.
	You're supposed to be there, you know, all scared because these psychopaths show up.
	No, that's not how you live life.
	Um I don't know where this money's coming from, but the Biden Harris campaign say they have the largest war chest of any democratic candidate in history.
	Uh, I don't like this news.
	I saw it over the weekend.
	Joe Biden apparently had a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and hung up on him.
	This conversation is over, and they've not spoken since.
	Wow.
	What a horrible ally he is.
	I but I told you almost from the beginning the truth.
	And the truth was Joe is saying one thing very publicly and privately saying something very, very differently.
	Obama aides are now clearly complaining that Biden's re-election campaign is weak.
	That's the political article that I mentioned.
	Jonathan Carl, ABC sounding the alarm over Biden's sliding poll numbers.
	It's the worst we've seen in 15 years.
	Well, he's been the worst president we've had, at least in the modern era, so it doesn't shock me.
	Uh one other foreign policy issue.
	Remember that they had the big big announcement.
	Oh Europe and I'm sorry, Great Britain and the United States have struck back against the Hootie rebels.
	Then we found out it was just like the strike, you know, against uh, you know, the people that were attacking our troops.
	They hit two empty warehouses.
	Nobody died.
	In this case, they may have killed five or six Hootie rebels.
	That's it.
	In the end.
	Now the Iranian back Hooties, they continue attacking U.S. shipping.
	They've not been deterred at all because it was it was a pinprick.
	It was nothing.
	And now they fired a missile striking a U.S. owned ship uh earlier today, just off the coast of Yemen.
	What do you what are you gonna do, Joe?
	What are you gonna do about China?
	What are you gonna do about Russia?
	What are you gonna do about all of these issues?
	What?
	Give more money, you want to give another 10 billion, approve another 10 billion for Iran?
	He said his decision to delist the Hootie rebels as terrorists is irrelevant.
	No, it's they're terrorists.
	They should be labeled as such.
	Anyway, you know, you have a message you want to send the Hooties.
	Yeah, uh, I like chocolate chocolate chip ice cream as my message.
	By the way, Biden's illegals now going on crime sprees, the latest one in Brooklyn, New York.
	Not a good thing.
	Um, anyway, it's gonna be interesting.
	This is it's kind of excited.
	Is it game night?
	It's gonna be fun to watch all this.
	Uh I don't know what to make of the Des Moines register poll by nearly two to one.
	Nikki Haley voters said they'd back Biden over Trump.
	This goes to remember when David Plouf, who ran Obama's campaign, said he wanted people in Iowa, New Hampshire to involve themselves in a new hampshire.
	If you're an independent, you can switch and you can either vote Democrat or Republican in the primary if you stay independent.
	A lot of people do it on purpose.
	Um what does that mean?
	I guess they've deemed her.
	I don't know, I don't know what how to interpret it.
	One Iowa poster says the lack of enthusiasm for Nikki Haley's jaw dropping.
	We'll find out tonight.
	Uh, but Donald Trump will join us at the top of the hour.
	What I had some other news.
	Oh, we have a lot of Biden family corruption news coming this week.
	Uh we believe now that in fact, in spite of it not being necessary that Republicans will issue a second subpoena.
	And I think Kevin Morris is scheduled to be deposed earlier this week.
	Anyway, 800, 941 Sean is our number.
	If you want to be a part of the uh program, it is.
	Oh, there it is.
	Thank you.
	I didn't see you put it there.
	But I appreciate the effort.
	Drink one of your shakes.
	You need one.
	Uh look, we do have a national crisis in American education.
	Everybody knows that.
	If you have any kids in school, for decades, young people have been uh not properly taught about American heritage.
	Uh, not at all.
	That's what our friends at Hillsdale College call civic education.
	The result is way too many young people rejecting the principles of liberty.
	Americans now between 18 and 30 are the most likely to reject patriotism, look on our founding fathers as villa villains, support the removal of historical statues, including that of George Washington.
	And as a society, we've neglected this pro uh problem for way too long.
	Hillsdale College is not.
	Hillsdale has been leading the Way in promoting civic education.
	And this year, Hillsdale is now producing 60 second radio spots called Constitution Minutes, short, clear lessons on the principles of liberty.
	Feature them, we're going to feature some of them right here on this show.
	Go to their website.
