This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean if you want to be a part of the uh program.
All right, Nicole Shanahan is going to be RFK Jr.'s uh vice presidential pick.
Uh I can tell you a lot about her.
Uh, but uh has the event started.
I'm looking here.
Uh it is not star.
Anyway, uh she's from the Bay Area, and I know a lot about her.
I could tell you 55 things you might want to and need to know about her, raised on welfare, single parent household, Oakland, California, daughter of a Chinese immigrant.
She went on for uh for a successful career, patent lawyer, entrepreneur, marrying into Uber wealth after meeting the Google co-founder, uh Sergey Brynn at a yoga festival.
What the hell is he yoga?
Do you know what a yoga festival is?
It's where very flexible people go and celebrate each other's flexibility.
Okay.
That's a celebration.
You are welcome, America.
No, I actually there's uh a mixed martial artist I know that is amazing at it.
Listen, I'm gonna tell you right now.
Yoga is phenomenal.
I do it three, four times a week.
I love it.
It's awesome.
But what people do when they go to yoga festivals with their body is beyond.
That's not regular yoga like what I'm doing for a half an hour.
These people can stretch beyond the limits.
It's ridiculous.
Uh listen, I've had Sensei has made me plank, and I'm like, oh man, this You must be great at that.
Uh I'm actually not bad at it, but I don't like it.
It's like doing burpees.
Who the hell wants to do that?
No, I don't do burpees.
That's that's no.
Anyway, so she ends up a very, very wealthy uh woman.
She's been uh married, divorced twice.
Uh uh I'm not getting into the the specifics of it, but amassed a fortune in the tech sector.
Uh I'm not against people being successful, has become filled uh philanthropic and and a political player, uh leading donor behind RFK Jr.'s uh unexpected uh Super Bowl ad in February, emerged as a top contender for VP after a few days of speculation that uh maybe it's gonna be Aaron Rodgers or or what's his name from Deadliest Catch, Mike Rowe.
I'm like, no, it's not.
Uh or you know, Jesse the body ventura.
I really wanted Jesse.
I was pulling for Jesse.
I wanted Jesse just for the sheer entertainment value he would bring to it because he's he's not the same guy he was when he was governor, I'll tell you that.
He's he's kind of crazy these days.
Um anyway, long story short, here's my take on it.
I think that uh probably she was chosen because she can finance the campaign.
Is that terrible to say?
Yes.
I I you think it is terrible.
Yes.
Why?
Because I'm not the only one that's been saying it.
I've read it uh numerous times.
I said yes.
Why is that a terrible thing to say?
Do you think it's true?
I don't know if it's true or not, but I would say, well, perhaps she has some technical prowess, perhaps she can help with promotion.
Technical prowess.
You know, she might have an interesting social media.
Okay.
What background and experience does she have?
I'm gonna tell you right now.
I don't know how to do that.
But she's gonna be big VP.
I don't know anything about this woman.
I would not vote for her for vice president.
I would vote for you know my dog Winston over her.
I don't know her.
You know, Winston, I know him, he's a good dog, you know.
But at the end of the day, I you know, RFK at least is trying to.
Well, let me let me let me serve her a compliment.
I mean, she grew up in a single family parent household.
Mother raised her and her brother, low income, on welfare.
She said she remembers her mother being ashamed to use food stamps, asking her brother to leave the store so that they they wouldn't watch her using them.
Uh she grew up, she said she only had two t-shirts that fit her.
I'd love this story about her.
I just do it.
I think it's awesome.
And honestly, the American dream.
Where are we coming from?
Right?
The community.
When the community is in the community.
Yeah, I got okay you know that's a low bar.
This is the benchmark.
It's a very low bar.
So many incredible leaders.
For us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present.
And to be able to contextualize it.
To understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future.
We invested an additional time.
All right, I can't.
I can't take it.
And I have too much to go through.
She did say that school was the one reliable thing I had in my life.
There's nothing here except an impressive resume and life story, which I think is compelling that tells me she has any clue about being the vice president.
Nobody's ever heard her name in the political world before.
Um I do like her life story, a personal story, but uh I will tell you the fact that she she funded that football ad at the Super Bowl and everything in between, you know, makes me suspicious that maybe money had something to do with this.
I don't know.
I mean, because apparently she's extraordinarily wealthy, which is great.
And but uh short of that, you know, tell me what she has done since she, you know, that that would qualify her to be vice president.
I don't know.
Um I don't see anything.
Here's here's what the most interesting part of RFK's run now is good is now become is Biden's team is so freaked out about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his impact on the election.
They have now built an entire operation according to Axios dedicated to attacking Kennedy.
And those contrasting approaches are now coming into focus because he's polling better than any independent candidate since Ross Perot did in 92, and now he is facing real scrutiny, which he deserves to face.
Uh I know that some conservatives have been intrigued by him, but the last interview I had with him did not go particularly well uh on his behalf because I challenged him.
I said, beyond these three issues about what he says about immigration and what he says about men playing in women's sports, and and obviously everybody knows him best for his position on immunization immunization and and probably more conservatives than liberals were more skeptical, and studies have shown this than the left on the issue of COVID and the vaccines.
Okay, those positions of Robert F. Kennedy, there's the three issues that might appeal to conservatives.
Might.
Maybe they do.
But uh you this is a guy that is the most radical environmentalist I've ever seen in my life.
When you read the background and the narrative that he has been pushing his entire life, then you look at his political history.
He has supported every radical left-wing democratic presidential candidate in history.
That's but that's his life's history.
Not saying he's bad, I'm just saying that's that's where he stands.
So naturally, Biden's campaign, the DNC have now had to dedicate a team of staffers and consultants to diminish uh Kennedy.
The DNC's arguing that RFK Jr. is a stalking horse for Trump.
He's not doing anything for Donald Trump, that I can tell you, who shares mega donor Tim Mellon with the former president.
But anyway, the White House also notes the Kennedy family isn't I do feel bad for him, his entire family has turned against them and is now campaigning against them.
I don't like that.
Or maybe is that a red flag that we should pay attention to?
What do they know about him that we don't know about him?
Well, anyways, now in talks to run on the Libertarian Party presidential ticket.
That could translate, you know, whatever popularity he has into becoming a near guaranteed choice on ballots in all 50 states.
And, you know, although they're saying that the Libertarian Party chair is spoke with Kennedy in recent weeks, and uh anyway, the two have been in contact.
Uh Kennedy's not a libertarian, but his presidential campaign was a dem he wanted to be a democratic presidential nominee.
And the Libertarian Party has consistently made made it on the ballot in all 50 states in DC, and the libertarian ticket has performed better on the presidential level when it it has a candidate with high name recognition recognition.
But he's he's he's not he's a democrat.
He's a liberal left-wing climate alarmist religious cultist democrat.
And I'm sure this person probably say anyway.
Uh this is uh uh Kennedy's wife.
Okay, Kennedy's wife.
Carol Heinz.
Curb your enthusiasm.
It's a very exciting day, and you will not be disappointed.
Uh one of the things that I love about Bobby, there are a lot.
I won't spend the day naming them, but one of the things that I I truly respect about him, I have watched him and continue to watch him inspire people of all different parties to come together for the greater good of this country.
Yeah.
So when you look around you, you're probably gonna see Republicans, Democrats, Independents all gather together to see what we have in common and how we can work together.
And that's what Bobby's all about, and that's who he is, and that's what he's doing.
and America is listening and is inspired.
Thank you.
All right, I think we should just do it.
Are you ready to hear from Bobby?
Are you at all interested to hear from the new VP pick?
Okay, okay.
Well, let's let's make a lot of noise.
I want to really hear how enthusiastic you are about this.
Please, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for my love for the next president of the United States, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
We'll be right back.
Thank you all very much.
Thank you.
Thank you all very much.
*Police*
Thank you, thank you.
I want to start out first of all for thanking all of you, and thanking Oakland, and thank all of you for being here today.
I also want to thank the uh the tribal chiefdoms, uh the tribe, and the chairwoman of the tribal council for endorsing me today for putting their faith in me.
Thank you.
And they know the the Milwagma Olawani tribe.
Oh, and they know very much uh they uh that this struggle for indigenous rights has consumed a lot of my life, my personal and my professional life, and that this work is gonna continue when we are in the White House.
The wag Malones are one of the many tribes that were that were decertified during the nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties, and these tribes need to be delegitimized, and that's something that I will do as soon as I get in the White House.
All right, we're just going to take a break here, and we already know who the pick is.
Nicole Shanahan, and uh we'll get back and uh more so we'll get your reaction throughout the program as well.
Uh but he's a Democrat.
Trust me.
I know his record.
All right, uh Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s given his speech.
We know who the choice is.
Great family, great background, great life story, but I don't really see any experience that would uh say that Nicole Shanahan has the leadership to uh become the president of the United States and be have but one heart be but one heartbeat away from being the president because that's the job.
Uh it is fascinating to watch that the people attacking Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the most Democrats.
Let me tell you where that's coming from.
That is a clear indication that polling is showing that most people rightly see Kennedy as a liberal Democrat.
Okay, there's a couple of positions that that maybe are unique being a liberal Democrat in this environment, but he's part of the climate alarmist religious cult.
He's he's got far left positions on pretty much everything.
He's voted for every left-wing radical for president in the modern era.
I mean, what else do you need to know?
I mean, is his own family is mad because it's they think it's gonna hurt Joe Biden.
Anyway, so we'll see what happens.
We'll see what happens with the Libertarian Party.
Uh, I don't really see any need to take this any further until he actually finally makes the announcement, and we get to hear a little bit from Shanahan.
We'll do that probably in the next half hour.
And uh we'll get to the other news of the day.
Looks like Ronald McDaniel is out at MSDNC.
The inmates running the asylum over there, have uh successfully uh had a coup.
God forbid they have a dissenting voice at MB MBC News.
The lunatics went insane last night.
We'll play it for you straight ahead.
Come on, man.
It's taken me 47 years to perfect doing nothing.
I had to become president to show you I could do that better than anybody.
Joe Biden, the most dangerous man in America.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Well, good thing I didn't stay with the Robert F. Kennedy thing, because it's just he's going on and on and on and on.
Um now I've just gone through her bio in way more detail.
Nicole Shanahan is going to be his VP.
All right.
She received her certificate in the World Trade Organization studies.
Okay.
Ding ding ding, red flag.
She was in law school.
She studied intellectual property and Chinese law at the National University of Singapore.
Uh she uh according to Wall Street Journal, um, was married to the billionaire from Google, one of their co-founders, Sergey Brin, uh sought apparently a billion dollars in the settlement.
They had an out-of-court settlement and uh in confidential arbitration.
Uh there were plenty of allegations.
I'm not getting into the salaciousness of anything.
Uh it it's she claims that it was nearly impossible to have mega wealth and be deeply grounded.
She said when I was living the wife of a billionaire, I was not the best version of myself.
I felt conflicted every day, like I couldn't access the thing that made me what I am.
She described herself, pay very close attention as a progressive through and through.
Got it?
That is a radical leftist, progressive, radical liberal.
Uh, you know, she was involved in in other things.
She actually claimed, and this goes to the issue of defund, dismantle, and reimagining police.
Uh, she said that having a mental health professional at the scene of George Floyd's death would have possibly de-escalated the situation and saved his life.
I mean, remember, there's this whole group of of people thinking that, well, maybe we need to send social workers when there are issues involving people that have some type of mental disorder.
Yeah, what happens when they get violent?
How is the the how is the social worker going to handle that?
She is the president of the Bia Echo Foundation that invests in reproductive reproductive longevity and equality and et cetera, et cetera.
And a livable planet.
You getting the point?
Livable planet.
A lot of code words in here.
And uh anyway, she uh told a panel on population pressures at COP26, and that's in Glasgow and Scotland that we have around sixty years of science that is missing around reproductive uh issues and that soil health and gut biome which she says are interrelated are critical to increasing reproductive long longevity.
Sounds like alternative health I know Linda would love.
Uh she's also interested in regenerative agriculture, carbon sequestration.
In other words, yeah, she's probably well in line with Robert F. Kennedy's views on the environment, which are radical and extreme.
Uh let's see her past donations, the she has donated to Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Pete Buddh, uh, local congressman, Democrat Ro Kahana, uh, or O'Connor, I believe is how you say it.
Um, she hosted a big fundraiser for Buddha Judge, supported Mary Ann Williamson's long shot 2020 bid, donated to Biden's victory fund 2020, and then you know, started be getting interested in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s run.
I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but I do wonder about vaccine injury, she once said in February, she contributed four million dollars to the American Values 2024 PAC, a super PAC, to help Kennedy fund a retro Super Bowl ad that linked Kennedy with his uncle JFK, the former president, the ad sparked blowback from the Kennedy family.
Uh she was apparently involved in the creative process of creating that ad.
And anyway, I mean I could just keep going on and on it's it sounds like maybe ideologically the perfect pick for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And maybe this is why the Biden campaign is just freaking out and flipping out.
Uh I have so much other news I haven't gotten to yet today.
I gotta get to it.
Uh well the inmates are running the asylum.
Hang on.
He is with Transportation Secretary Pete But visited East Palestine nearly three weeks, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He's with the governor, I'm not sure what this means.
What does that mean?
Pete Buttigieg is right now with the NTSB and the governor of Maryland, hours after what happened last night at the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
It took him three weeks ago to East Palestine.
Okay.
Uh maybe they're learning from their mistakes.
Maybe it'll be only six months until Joe shuts uh shows up.
Uh anyway, um I I just don't it just somebody no background no experience I mean the least Admiral Stockman member Ross Perot's pick, maybe one of the greatest lines ever used in a vice presidential debate, you know, when he started out who am I and why am I here?
It was pretty funny.
Uh looks like the inmates at the asylum known as MBC and MSDNC.
Well according to the Daily Mail, MBC has dropped former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor less than a week after her role was announced she did a whopping one day appearance and then the wheels came off.
All started by Chucky Todd.
This is hurting our credibility as journalists they all claim to be journalists at MSD and see none of them are journalists.
None of them they're all talk show hosts.
Now I'm a talk show host I'm honest about who I am I don't claim that I am a journalist but as part of my role is being a talk show host we do journalism and I could produce thousands of hours on TV and radio.
Me doing straight news we do investigative reporting looking at the Biden family syndicate that the mob ignores looking into Obama's radical associations getting right the Russia hoax that the mob and the media all got wrong because of their liberal talk show host views.
They all claim to be journalists nope they're liberal talk show hosts.
And anyway we've got a new montage of of how insane it just it went on and on from there it went from Chucky Todd to Liberal Joe to Mika and then all the way through the day you know into prime time and circle back Gen Saki and conspiracy theorist extraordinaire apparently they gave her uninterrupted airtime last night to give this long emotional speech how Ronna McDaniel will not be on MS uh at MSDNC,
really.
And I say that and give you that level of detail because there has been an effort since by other parts of the company to muddy that up in the press and make it seem like that's not what happened at MSDNC.
Okay, thank you for straightening that out.
Joy Reed, Nicole Wallace, uh, I mean, Lawrence uh O'Donnell.
I mean, the whole place.
Okay, well, who runs the asylum here?
Anyway, apparently it's them.
Listen.
There's a reason why there's a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this because many of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last six years have been met with gaslighting.
Have been met with character assassination.
You weren't asked about our opinion on the hiring, but if we were, we would have strongly objected for several reasons, including but not limited to Miss McDaniel's role in Donald Trump's fake electoral scheme and her pressuring of election officials to not certify election results.
What we've also said election deniers is not just they can do that on our airwaves, but that they can do that as one of us, as badge carrying employees of MBC News as paid contributors to our sacred airwaves.
Our democracy is in danger because of the lies that people like Ron and McDaniel have pushed on this country.
And I mean look, and this is not about not having Republicans on.
We welcome Republican voice.
I wish more Republicans.
I want Adam Kinzinger and Liz Janey to get right here to come talk to me.
The reality is this isn't a difference of opinion.
She literally backed an illegal scheme to steal an election in the state of Michigan.
We were told this weekend in clear terms, Ronald McDaniel will not be on our air.
Ronald McDaniel will not be on MSNBC.
And I say that and give you that level of detail because there has been an effort since by other parts of the company to muddy that up in the press and make it seem like that's not what happened at MSNBC.
I can assure you, that is what happened at MSNBC.
Okay.
So this is what they're all saying.
And then it got worse from there.
Uh Bob Ronald McDaniel, I am hiring the best libel attorney in the country, and I am going hard big time after NBC.
Big time.
And it's not just whatever the contract payout is.
No.
I'd go way deeper than that.
But you know, we'll see what happens.
That's what I'd be doing.
Uh, we'll see.
Um, you know, we're talking here about Shanahan being the the choice of RFK Jr.
Well, you know, Ford lost 4.5 billion because of electric vehicles.
I mean, he has been on this kick for on the environment for pretty much all of his adult life.
And Chrysler owns Salantis.
They're cutting 400 jobs to focus on electric vehicles.
Ford lost 4.5 billion dollars.
Anyway, it's the company of of several auto brands, Dodge Jeep Chrysler confirming that they're laying off hundreds of U.S. workers to trim their workforce amid their transition to the electric vehicle production.
Wow.
I mean, they want it forced electric vehicles down your throat, whether you like them or don't like them.
They they literally want you to get rid of your gas stove, your refrigerator, your air conditioner, stop eating meat.
There's no end to this.
It's unbelievable.
Look at the economy.
Americans' dream is shrinking.
New home sales slipping again last month.
Builders are now ramping up production and going smaller because people can't afford it with especially interest rates high in the inflation that Joe Biden created.
Never mind America's debt is now a debt spiral.
This was on Fox News.com.
The U.S., our country is now on track for the Treasury to pay one trillion dollars only on interest on the debt.
You got it and legal experts are raising the alarm on Biden's plan B student loan handout.
He was told by the Supreme Court he couldn't do it.
And what is he doing?
Billions of more dollars of student loan forgiveness.
Costco's going to crack down on non members eating at food courts.
I mean, everybody knows they have their hundred and uh I'm sorry, $1.50 hot dog and and soda combination, their chicken bakes and their pizza.
I love Costco.
I love Target.
I love Walmart.
I love all those stores.
They have everything you want.
Great.
You save money in the process.
But anyway, back to this issue about MSDNC.
Why would MS. The idea, Linda?
I'm in my 28th year at Fox.
I've been hired to do a show.
My show runs from 9 to 10 Eastern.
My job is not to do the hiring and firing at the Fox News Channel.
I don't own the Fox News Channel.
I don't run the Fox News Channel.
I'm an employee of Fox News.
A contractual employee.
That's what I do.
And my job is to do the best job I can do, and I take my responsibility now in my 28th year more seriously now than I ever have.
And we we take great pride in getting it right when the mob in the media gets it wrong, like on the Russia hoax.
Like explaining that Joe Biden leveraging a billion dollars, you know, of taxpayer money so his son can be paid millions, even though he admits he has no experience and admits at the time he was addicted to drugs.
That's a big story.
Unless, of course, you're a liberal talk show host at fake news CNN like Fake Jake, or over at MSDNC like Liberal Joe and the party over there and Chucky Todd and conspiracy theorist Maddow and Circle Back Jensaki and we have Joyless Behard, Joyless Reed, and then we got Lawrence O'Donnell.
I haven't really come up with a nickname for him yet.
I will, just for kicks and giggles.
But they they claim.
Now we do do journalism, as I said earlier.
We do investigative reporting that they don't do.
They lied about the Russia hoax for three plus years.
No apologies, no corrections, none of that.
And we do other things as well.
We give opinion.
They give opinion.
They just don't, they they just call their opinion journalism, and it's not.
They have an opinion.
They hate Donald Trump.
MSDNC doesn't even want a conservative voice.
Oh, we we want more Republicans on.
We'd love to have Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger on.
They're not Republicans.
They're not conservative.
They'll claim they are, but what they did on that January 6th committee is a disgrace.
How they allowed a phony narrative about Donald Trump trying to commandeer the car that was being driven by the Secret Service, except the Secret Service agents said it never happened and they never told us.
You know, all the missing documents and files that we're now learning about.
The fact that Donald Trump had a meeting, and that now Chris uh Steve, what was his name?
Uh the former acting defense secretary, Chris who was Miller, uh, Cash Patel, Mark Meadows, Donald Trump, Mark Milley, all admit, yeah, Trump talked about bringing up the guard, but in writing, Muriel Bowser said no.
She had to legally say yes.
Well, well, if he wanted an insurrection, why would he be authorizing the guard to be called up?
Can't make this up.
800, 941 Shauna's a number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh all right, when we come back, we got a lot of other news we're going to get to today.
We'll look into the meltdown of the left about the Trump reduction in terms of bail in New York.
