All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Our toll-free telephone numbers 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program after the New York Times reported last Tuesday that uh Ronna McDaniel was stepping down from her post as chairwoman of the RNC after the South Carolina primary, she sent an email to 168 members of the RNC telling them that she uh wasn't going to be distracted by Palace Intrigue, et cetera, et cetera.
Anyway, it looks like uh the GOP is about to the RNC that is, is about to have a change in leadership.
Uh I've known Ronna, liked her a long time.
I think there are issues that have to be addressed with the RNC.
I've been saying them publicly and privately for a long time.
Uh it looks like President Trump is supporting Michael Watley is his name.
I believe he's from North Carolina.
Uh and also uh his daughter in law, Laura Trump, as vice chair.
Uh she's now running for that position at the RNC, and she joins us now.
How are you?
I'm great, Sean.
Thanks.
Great to be with you.
Uh look, I I I I love everything that you do.
If people want to know, you know, how much effort you put into your workouts.
Uh I had friends of mine show me how intense they are, and I'm like laughing.
I had no idea you were that strong.
Uh, but it shows me uh a level of discipline, dedication, uh, strength that you have.
Um you've been such an effective advocate for President Trump over the years, and this is a big new position for you.
What are your thoughts?
Yeah, well, well, first of all, thank you.
You're welcome to join me for a workout anytime.
We can do a handity special.
I would love to be there for that.
Um sounds amazing.
But listen, I I think where we are in this country right now, Sean, is we have no other option other than to ensure the election of Donald Trump.
We've got a country to save.
The way we save this country is making sure Donald Trump is the 47th president of the United States.
And people may know or they may not know that the way that you elect a president on the Republican ticket is via the RNC and the aid of the RNC.
And so um, you know, I I never anticipated I would find myself in a position where I would be running for co-chair of the RNC, but quite frankly, nothing is more important right now than indeed ensuring Donald Trump is in that White House.
And we need to have the leanest, meatest fighting machine that politically you've ever seen in American history in the RNC, and that's what I want to do as co-chair.
I want to ensure that every penny spent goes to ground game, goes to voter registration, goes to legal ballot harvesting, goes to election day operations, because Sean, we've got to combat the Democrats in a way that it doesn't matter how many 3 a.m. dumps there might be, doesn't matter how many suitcases of ballots they might find miraculously.
Donald Trump needs to come out on top.
And I think this is the place I can be most effective.
And I'm looking forward to a revamped RNC where you know we're raising tons of money and we're supporting Donald Trump for president.
The last I read the RNC was actually looking for a line of credit.
That was disturbing to me.
Um you you mentioned something that I'm really glad to hear, uh, and that's legal ballot harvesting.
And here's my argument, and what my argument has been for a long time, and I give Ronna credit on on one front here, is that Republicans and conservatives in this country, I understand their reluctance and their resistance about voting early and voting by mail.
I understand it completely.
If I had my way, we'd have paper ballots.
Uh we'd have election day at national holiday.
Uh we'd make exceptions for the military, for the elderly, for the infirmed, etc.
But election day would be a national holiday, one day of voting.
You have partisan observers in every precinct watching the vote counting all day, and I'm sorry, watching the voting all day and the vote counting all night, and then you declare a winner.
Everybody goes home with confidence in the results, integrity in the process.
We don't have that system.
The system is what it is, and until Republicans change it and win enough elections, they're not going to be able to change it.
Uh, but that being the case, you got to deal with the hand that you're dealt and the hand that we're dealt here is one that the Democrats, I think, have done a much better job on, and that is convincing their voters to vote by mail, vote early.
And you mentioned legal ballot harvesting.
Now, the Republican National Committee adopted bank your vote.
Step two to me has to be matching, if not surpassing, the legal ballot harvesting that the Democrats are involved in.
And I don't think the RNC has done anything on that.
Well, and you're exactly right.
Look, we have to play this game smarter and better than the Democrats, or we're never going to win any more elections.
And the the truth is, as you just said, Republicans are typically people.
Conservatives are typically people who like to go vote on election day.
I understand that.
I appreciate that, but that is not the only way to vote in this country right now.
We need enough votes, bank that it really doesn't matter.
We don't need to wait until uh election day to start catching up with the Democrats.
We are going to have to play this game differently, and we're going to have to play it even better than they are.
We have to be playing chess when they are playing checkers.
That is how you win.
And so legal ballot harvesting is a great way that we can achieve that.
We have never done anything like this in the Republican Party, but it is time we made some changes.
And so I think that that is what this RNC uh needs to be.
I I think uh obviously it's a support for Donald Trump.
Obviously, we're going to use every penny available to ensure he's elected, and one of those ways we do that is making sure people go vote early.
If you have early voting in your area, please go do it.
And then you go out and you get more people to go vote in the days following, and even on election day and up to election day.
Uh we do have to start looking at things a little bit differently because as you said, Sean, things aren't perfect.
I would love, as you said, to have one day, to have paper ballots, but that's not where we are in this space.
And so we have to adapt, and I think now is the time we do that.
We have to go hard for nine and a half months, and we have to ensure that Donald Trump becomes the 47th president of the United States.
To me, the following integrity measures need to be in place in every state, and I would encourage state legislators to come up with legislation that would allow for and insist upon voter ID, signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls,
and maybe the most important of all is partisan observers, meaning Democrats, Republicans, independents, have a right to watch the voting all day and the vote counting all night, and I don't mean a thousand feet away like they did in 2020 during COVID, using COVID as an excuse and not making accommodations for laws to be implemented in some states.
I think partisan observers are critical for integrity in this process.
Now, that's going to require the RNC to recruit enough people to ensure all of those things.
That's a heavy lift.
and It's a heavy lift, but it's a lift we have to have to make, Sean.
I mean, there are no two ways about it.
This is a must-win election.
It's not just for the next four years.
This is about the future of America.
By the way, if you want to volunteer to be a poll watcher, Donald J. Trump.com, we need everybody spread out around this country because quite frankly, if we don't have faith in our electoral process here in the United States, we're no better off, Sean, than communist countries.
You know, the the America that we've known and love really does cease to exist at a certain point.
So we need to have faith in our election process.
And one of those ways we do that is by watching the polls.
We need people spread out all across this country, and we have to do it.
And I'll tell you what, um, if if I'm elected co-chair of the RNC, I can guarantee you that we will not be spending $70,000 on flowers.
We are not doing any more funny business over there.
People aren't going to be scratching their friends back.
I I will ensure and I can assure you that Donald Trump wants every single penny to go to his re-election effort, and and it really isn't about him, Sean.
It's about saving this country because I believe after 2024, after November 5th of this year, if you do not have Donald Trump in that White House, America will never be the same country.
We don't get another crack at this.
We are so blessed to live in this country, but we have to fight for it.
The fight starts now, it starts today.
We need every patriot across this country to volunteer and do everything we can can together to ensure a victory on November 5th.
And every precinct needs poll watchers, every single one.
That means every crevice, every corner of the country.
Even in states that are predominantly red, I would say it's I still want poll watchers.
But the states that I'm I would most pay attention to are Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
And I'd look at New Hampshire closely.
I would pay attention to Arizona, I'd play pay attention to Nevada.
Uh that's just off the top of my head.
And from there you build out, and that it's every precinct in the country.
Listen, all I'm asking for, I'm I'm saying Democrats get the same exact treatment.
They get to have poll watchers, they get to have partisan observers, and they can watch the vote voting all day and the vote counting all night.
And I think everybody benefits and walks away with the feeling, all right.
Well, this this was a free and fair election, and they'll have confidence in the results.
I think that that would take away a lot of a lot of issues for a lot of people.
Not everything, but a lot.
Well, yeah, and honestly, you know, it was such a disappointment 2020.
I think you have tens of millions of people in this country who would say, you know what, something wasn't right with that election.
We can't exist like that as a country.
We need to ensure that here in 2024, right now, we all feel confident with our election.
You mentioned Arizona.
The the issues in just the state of Arizona in the past several years have been abysmal and horrific.
You should never see things like that happening in the United States of America.
And and yet here we are.
This is the time.
This is where we make a stand.
It's going to take all of us coming together and working toward this goal.
But Sean, like I said, we really have to do this.
I really do believe that if you look at the destruction that Joe Biden has caused in three years.
I mean, my goodness, the first six months were bad enough.
We have another year of this.
Don't forget.
And then if we don't make some changes, I really don't think we have our country back.
And so it is now, it is the time.
Um, believe me, like I said, I never imagined myself running for a role like this, but I do feel strongly it that this is is really the most important space right now.
And and I can tell you that's an honor to even be considered.
It's an honor to have the endorsement of my father-in-law for a position like this.
He understands what's at stake.
My goodness, this man is under attack day in and day out, and yet he is still headstrong facing forward, fighting for America, and uh it's an honor to be by his side to do the same.
I agree with you.
I think it's all all hanging in the balance here.
I I don't know how we survive four more years of wide open borders without a national security disaster.
Uh I I don't know how we survive with these horrific economic policies.
I don't I don't know how we survive with a foreign policy where where there's not a single, you know, thug around the world that respects our president.
Uh the her report in particular was beyond revealing.
It's it's actually chilling to me because you also know that the likes of Putin and Chi and Kim Jong-un and the Mullers in Iran, that they're all that they're they're they're all being briefed on this as well, and for them that's carte blanche to do pretty much whatever the hell they want.
And that's why you need a strong leader in the White House.
You think about Donald Trump as president of the United States, Sean, it was peace through strength.
Our adversaries didn't even try it because they knew that the the implications of doing something while Donald Trump was in the Oval Office were too great.
They knew that the retaliation on the other side was not even worth it.
Right now, we have a weak and ineffective leader in the White House.
It makes America weak, and it makes our allies all around the world weak as well.
You have a destabilized world right now with Joe Biden as president of the United States.
We want to get back to the days of things like the Abraham Accords, you know, historic peace agreements being signed in the Middle East, talks with Kim Jong-un, who you just talked about of North Korea to possibly denuclearize the Korean peninsula.
Believe me, these people are excited about Joe Biden getting four more years because now is their time.
Now's their time to test America.
Now's their time to usurp America as a superpower of the world.
Now is the time where if we're not careful, we're going to lose this country.
And I can tell you, that's why I'm doing this.
I have two young kids who are four and six years old.
The last thing I need to be doing, Sean, is out here all of, you know, dealing with all of these crazy, bloodthirsty folks in the mainstream media, the crazed lunatic liberals on the other side of the aisle.
But I'm out here fighting because it's for my kids, it's for our grandkids, it's for generations beyond.
Now's the time we stand up and we save the United States of America.
I can't say it any better.
Uh we wish you well in this in this effort to be the vice chair of the RNC and we'll be watching closely.
Uh finally somebody's echoing what I have been saying for a long time about legal ballot harvesting and early voting and voting by mail, which by the way gets pulled off by Florida perfectly every single election year now.
Uh but anyway, Laura Trump, thank you so much for being with us.
We wish you the best of luck.
We'll be having you on often to talk about it all.
Thank you so much, Sean.
I appreciate it.
Uh let me just before I get to the phones here, let me play poor Liberal Joe Scarborough.
Liberal Joe Scarborough.
I mean, would you want to be in the position of having to defend Joe Biden's cognitive state?
I mean, we have seen nothing but a collective meltdown by the mob in the media for Robert Herr telling the truth that we have been pointing out for you know over four years on this program.
And that is that Joe is mentally declining.
It's uh it's a significant real cognitive decline.
We were comparing tapes from 2020 when he was running and we were pointing this out the first time, and compared to 2020, he seemed uh and today he seemed lucid back in 2020.
But liberal Joe, he says, You want to know how Biden's doing?
Look at your 401k.
Hey, Joe, liberal Joe, this is great, a great idea for people that have 401ks or still have them.
Great idea.
But what about the people that don't have them?
What about the 60 percent, Joe, that don't work on TV and are like we do, and get paid uh in your case, way more than you're worth.
What about those people?
The ones living paycheck to paycheck, the ones that are using their credit cards uh to put bare necessities uh on the on the table, a meet make ends meet every month.
What about those people?
Those are the people I care about.
Those are the people that that is me.
That's Sean Hannity before all of this.
Anyway, 800 941 Sean, but listen to Liberal Joe.
You want to know how Biden's doing?
Look at your 401k.
And if you're one of these rich country club types that drive your Ferrari or your Maserati, uh country club and bitch about how horrible the economy is.
Look at your your stock app and see how much money you're making every hour because there's not a crazy lunatic in the White House.
Yep, there's Liberal Joe, living high on the hog, out of touch.
I don't know.
I guess he's down in Florida somewhere, I read.
Can't wait to run into him.
Uh all right, let's get to our busy phones 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Nancy is in Rhode Island.
Nancy, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
I live five years in Rhode Island.
Where in Rhode Island are you?
Um I'm in Cumberland, up towards the north.
Yeah, I was in Warren, Rhode Island for five years.
Used to love the Bristol Fourth of July parade, and I love, love uh the black pearl in Newport at Fisher at the wharf over there.
My dad's favorite place to go, the black pearl.
We love it there.
Isn't it awesome?
You know, you in case you don't know this, you can order it and they'll deliver it to your house.
I don't order it a lot because I'm always on a, you know, a perpetual never-ending diet, and I'm like, it's so annoying.
Yeah, that's good to know.
Yeah, it's very cool.
What's going on?
How's things up in in the tiniest state in the union with great people?
We're in the middle of a a little what they call a storm, but it's it's manageable.
Um I'd like to start off by saying that I am not a fan of Joe Biden by any means.
And even in his prime, I thought he was marginal at best.
But that being said, he's clearly being taken advantage of by his wife, his family, his staff, and the entire Democrat Party.
If the Democrats had any integrity, they would stop this blatant display of elderly abuse.
That's what it is, that's putting our entire nation and the world at risk.
They should suspend his campaign for re-election.
They should uh simultaneously apologize for being so ignorant of the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia and vow to raise awareness of both these diseases.
I I think it's their only option, in my opinion.
It's not their only option.
I'll tell you what their option Is their option is what Van Jones is recommending, which is they hide him.
And if they hide him enough, and they let other surrogates and and now we see that Bill Clinton and Obama, they're gonna step up, they're gonna go out and campaign later, I guess next month with with Joe Biden, and they're gonna send out their surrogates and their hacks.
I I probably my favorite line came from I guess it was who was it?
I guess it was uh Karin Jean Pierre, who's literally saying that he slams Robert Herr and says Joe Biden is so sharp he does more in an hour than most of us do in a day.
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm a little dubious of that claim.
I don't think you can accomplish anything in an hour.
Unless it's destruction, then he's over the top and well beyond his means doing that, causing in in in an hour in a day.
I look, I said this earlier and I stand by it.
I'm not backing off to me.
I is there anybody in his family that can just objectively discern how bad this is rather than being so defensive, maybe they should look and take a really long look at the video tapes of this man being put in a position where he's humiliating himself, embarrassing himself after all these years of service.
And I'm no fan of Joe Biden's, but at some point, I don't know, if I ever get that way, trust me, Linda will be throwing me off the air and kicking me out the door in seconds.
And so and by the way, and so would my family.
My kids would step in and say, Dad, you're done, you're out, you're finished.
They would not take no for an answer.
I know my kids.
That's exactly what my point was going to be um we took care of my mother with Alzheimer's for many years, all our siblings, and if we subjected her to one-tenth of what they're putting him through, you can be guaranteed social services would be knocking on our door, wondering whether or not we had the case there comes a time when the family has to sit down, make really hard decisions and say, I'm sorry, but dizziness as usual is not an option anymore.
And they have to put this man's personal health above politics, and I just don't know if they're capable of doing that.
And I feel like ethically more and morally, they're just doing everything wrong for this country and caring for this man, and it's it's embarrassing and it's it's very sad that there's nobody um coming to his aid and sticking up for what is obviously abuse in my opinion.
Uh look, I don't know what you want to call uh I don't maybe if I were to give the benefit of the doubt to his family, I might say the following.
I might say that they're they're so intoxicated by power that maybe they they just they compartmentalize them refuse to see truth and reality.
They're not seeing it.
That would be probably the most gracious interpretation of this.
But if you're really but I I find that very hard to believe, and instead of lashing out against Robert Herr, maybe they should ask themselves, is that true?
If that's true, we got a problem.
But here's what I I I can almost guarantee you, this is my best educated guess, they know how bad it is, and they're covering for him.
And and that this is where power is intoxicating.
And you know, I've said on this program many, many times, Nancy, I've said that I don't think fame is healthy for anybody.
And I and you might think, okay, well, Hannity, it's easy for you to say you're in the public eye.
Yeah, it's not healthy.
You know, when I was a contractor, nobody came up to me and wanted my autograph.
When I worked in restaurants, nobody said you did such a great job cooking or making that drink or bringing us, you know, as you're such a good waiter.
Uh, can I have your autograph?
Nobody ever asked for that.
So you kind of have to keep life in perspective.
And I think the two things that maybe have have somewhat grounded me is my belief in God and my understanding that I just work like everybody else, and my work happens to be public.
That's all.
There's no difference.
Everybody works in the service industry in some capacity.
That's um uh what do you work or did did you work, or what do you do?
Yes, I I I worked in retail for many years.
I was on the front lines in retail for about thirty years.
Right now I'm trying to do some writing.
I'm sort of taking it easy.
But I'm just thinking it's it's it's not that's a service business.
You're serving people in retail.
I go to a store when I meet a great uh clerk or somebody that you know can find what I'm looking for when I can't find it myself.
I'm so grateful.
I want to get the hell out of there.
I I love doing it, but I'm concerned because I think it's a it's not an if, it's a when something tragic is gonna happen.
Didn't he just recently smack his head on Air Force One or something like it was Marine One, yeah, when he was coming that was this weekend.
Yes, ma'am.
And you know, it any bump on the head, whether or not he's got cognitive problems or or not, at that age could be detrimental.
I just feel like he's literally being thrown to the walls for the benefit of the party, which is ridiculous because no one in the country thinks he's capable of the job anyway.
Why don't they just uh I hate to tell you, no, there's a significant number of people in this country that either they hate Trump so much or they're just but they'll blind themselves to the truth of reality.
However, the canary in the coal mine, David Axarod, Van Jones, James Carville, Paul Bagala, Maureen Dowd.
They're all dealing with it and they're not sugarcoating it.
We'll see how this unfolds.
Uh but I got a roll.
Listen, Nancy, my best to everybody in uh in Rhode Island and when you see my friends at the Black Pearl, tell them that uh, you know, Sean Hannity was talking about you guys again on radio.
There should be advertisers.
Uh but I love the place.
Anyway, appreciate it.
All the best to you and you know, weather that snowstorm.
Have fun today in the snow.
Um I wish I could be there with you shoveling it.
I'm kidding.
Uh Danny out in my old uh stomping grounds, Long Island.
Danny, I know Long Island is upset that I left.
You have a big election.
And by the way, going on today, and that is the third congressional district, and you got Mazzy uh Phillip is going up against Tom Swazi, a hundred percent Biden supporter to fill the George Santos seat.
I'm hoping people in spite of the snow show up for Mazzy Pillup because that would be an important win for Republicans.
It's a tough race, it's very close.
We'll see what happens.
But anyway, how are you today?
Well, sure, I'm happy to tell you the snow is done.
The roads are clear.
Uh I was at my polling booth this morning.
Uh a lot of heavy volume I call a lot of people with uh veterans' hats on and looking like people that I would think would be voting in my issue.
Um I'm in Massapequa, so I'm pretty sure we're gonna come out for uh Representative Phillips.
It's funny that us ma you know as Magna us Magna MAGA racists are about to elect the Ethiopian Jew to be our congressman.
Isn't that funny?
The uh you're one of those evil MAGA Republicans, MAGA.
You know, what's so evil about wanting America to be great again?
I don't think that's evil.
I want America to be the greatest, best, strongest, toughest, meanest kick-ass country on the face of the earth where we are the world's envy.
We used to be, we're not right now.
I can't explain to people who aren't close enough to the insanity.
I did twenty years in the police department in the city, I retired as a lieutenant.
Uh unfortunately for my own mental being, two of my children's great kids have entered the police department and are dealing with this migrant nonsense every single day.
And these democrats who live out in far away uh far away that they don't get to see it.
This is why Long Island is turning even redder, because we're close enough to look west to see the insanity that is New York City and what they've done.
And we've had three events here in the past five years that have so damaged the quality of life for the everyday New Yorker.
One, we defanged the New York City Police Department, two, we have the no bail law, and three, we decided to make ourselves a sanctuary state, and Tom Swazi was right in on that when he was when he was our representative.
Oh, big time.
Big time.
He started the first uh migrant welcome centers when he's the mayor of Glen Cove.
Well the mayor the the people of Glencove have now elected a completely Republican leadership, both in their mayoral seat up there and their councilman.
So they've seen it they'll Democrats are like locusts.
They show up, they ruin where they are, and then they have to move on to a different area where the and then the area becomes Republican.
So Yeah, by the way, don't don't don't come to Florida.
Stay away.
I I left a state that they ruined.
Uh, and I don't want people coming down here ruining this state.
And I can assure the people of Florida, where I'm now officially registered to vote, and I purposely specifically did uh undid my registration in New York.
Uh I uh otherwise would be voting.
But in a little over three hours, those polls are still open.
They close when I come on TV, 9 p.m. tonight.
And if you've not voted yet today in this special election and you're in District 3 in Long Island, this is an important vote.
Uh Mozzie Pillup is uh a great candidate.
I hope she can win.
It's a tight race according to the polls.
We'll see, and I'm hoping that they hold on to that seat.
They need it desperately.
Anyway, appreciate your call, my friend.
God bless you.
Uh my advice, get out of there.
And my advice to your kids is be careful as officers.
Hey, don't forget polls in New York District 3.
That's Mozzie Pillup uh running against the 100% Biden supporter Tom Swazi.
Uh the polls are open till 9.
I hear voter turnout has been low.
That's not good for Republicans in Long Island.
You have three more hours to get to the polls.
My advice is vote.
Republicans could use this vote desperately.
Anyway, that's Mozzie Pillup.
We don't really need a hundred percent Joe Biden supporter in Long Island, do we?
That's gonna wrap things up for today.
Tony Bobalinski going before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees today.
Jason Smith, uh, who heads the House Ways and Means Committee, Jim Jordan, Judiciary, Comer, House Oversight Committee, they'll all join us.
Laura Trump, now running for vice chair of the RNC.
We'll check in with her.
Senator Tim Scott tonight.
Uh, also Tudor Dixon, Dr. Nicole Sapphire, Mark Morano, Nine Eastern, set you D V R, Hannity on Fox.
