This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon, and our two Sean Hannity show.
Toll-free, it is 800-941-Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
You know, if you look at every issue we're now dealing with, you got Joe Biden needing the help of former presidents Obama and Clinton to try and pull him over the finish line in 217 days.
You know, you've got a White House so out of touch, you know, Transgender Recognition Day on Easter Sunday.
You got Kamala Harris now trying to shore up the base by going to abortion clinics and meeting with these advocates for legalization of marijuana, weed.
Then, of course, everybody in the administration now attacking Israel on a very high level, and they just go harder and harder left.
The image of seeing Obama, Clinton, and Joe at Radio City Music Hall juxtaposed to President Trump at the wake of this police officer speaks volumes.
The White House now, just like they're blaming immigration on Donald Trump after three years of saying that the border is secure and the border is closed, now they're blaming all the violence around the country on Donald Trump.
And we saw what happened this weekend at St. Patrick's, and they're actually now citing Obamacare, which every promise was never kept, as a reason to vote for Joe Biden.
You just can't make this up.
Now he's actually telling Al Roker, because he won't do a real interview with a real reporter, that we have the best economy in the world.
Okay, well, let's play it.
When people are saying, you know, but Mr. President, I'm feeling, you know, my buck isn't going as far.
What do you say to those folks about the economy and what's going on?
Well, I say we have the best economy in the world.
We've got to make it better.
We really do have the best economy in the world.
Jobs are up more than they've ever been.
We're in a situation where the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years is maintained.
We have people just, but people, look, I think we're going to find out that what happened as a consequence of the crisis we had in health is going to have a lasting effect.
And we just got to get people to move again.
We're ready.
I mean, I think the country's ready to come together in a way that I've never, I mean that sincerely.
I'm truly optimistic.
I'm glad you're optimistic.
Tell the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.
Former Speaker of the House, New Kingrich, is on with us, author of the bestseller March to the Majority, which we'll know a lot more about in 217 days.
Mr. Speaker, how are you, sir?
Well, I'm doing well, and I'm with you.
It's a number of different things going on that would have been unthinkable 20 years ago is just amazing, including Biden's desperate need to spend money.
When he came out the other day and said that we, the taxpayers, were going to pay to repair the bridge in Baltimore.
I couldn't help but think, you know, these shipping companies have insurance.
Why would we, the taxpayers, have to pay for a bridge which a ship hit and the ship and its insurance companies have liability for.
And it's just sort of this, you know, I think Biden wakes up in the morning and says, spend the money now.
Tell me what the topic is.
Well, I think that's what their basic standard is.
Look, they're running on the following things.
A democracy in peril, January 6th, and we're learning a lot more about January 6th that we had been told is false.
A lot of missing records, you know, exculpatory information just disappearing.
I think it's a big deal that the country was told that Donald Trump tried to commandeer the vehicle he was in on January 6th.
And meanwhile, the January 6th committee had testimony from the actual driver saying, no, that never happened, but they went with hearsay information from more favorable testimony from somebody that didn't see the event, wasn't there at the event.
And so it's a little bit of dishonesty there.
And add to that, five people that have now confirmed Donald Trump in the days leading up to January 6th wanted National Guard troops called up, including the Capitol Police Chief.
That would be six people.
And that in writing, the mayor of D.C., who had to sign off on calling up National Guard troops, in writing, declined them.
That wasn't told the American people either.
And meanwhile, the same people that ignored the 574 riots in the summer of 2020.
How interesting that they select which riot is more important.
Well, look, it's a little bit like the tragedy of the New York policeman who was killed at a traffic stop by somebody who'd been arrested 21 times before that.
You know, all the sympathy of the liberals goes to the guy who's been arrested and who kills the policeman.
They somehow don't ever quite get around to the policeman and his wife and his child.
And I think, you know, this kind of very selective focus, I think on the January 6th committee, there's no question that Liz Cheney led a deliberate witch hunt that was dishonest, designed to get the results she wanted, deliberately blocked out information which would have proven that her version was totally phony.
And I think that we're gradually, partly thanks to Congressman Lautermilk on the House Administration Committee, we are gradually pulling together the evidence that this entire story was a lie, that they knew it was a lie, and that they went with it anyway because it was a useful lie for them.
When you juxtaposed the image at Radio City Music Hall of Obama and Clinton and Biden with Donald Trump showing up at the wake of the slain officer, what do you think the American, how do the American people react to that?
Or maybe the tone deafness of the Biden administration and the, quote, celebration and recognition and proclamation of the Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday.
How does that go over?
Does Corrine Jean-Pierre, could she make the case blaming Donald Trump for the surge in violent crime around the country?
I don't think that's going to fly.
Well, look, they live in an alternative universe.
This is a minority of the American people.
On some issues like transgenderism, it's down at the 15 or 18 percent level.
On some other issues, it's up as high as 25 or 29 percent.
But the fact is, this is a Democratic Party which has been taken over by a lot of pretty weird people who believe things that are not true, but they do believe them.
And they talk to each other, and they keep themselves all ripped up emotionally with a whole series of falsehoods.
And they have as a leader, a guy who about half the time is out of touch with reality.
And I think Biden, in that sense, may be the perfect symbol for where the Democrats are going.
And of course, anybody who does grocery shopping, as Callista and I did over the weekend, knows that Biden can't make the case about prices.
In fact, we were noticing that some of the things we're buying cost the same amount, but by the way, they're 20% smaller.
And you begin to think, you know.
Well, Biden's answer to that is greedy corporations are responsible for shrinkflation and higher costs.
Of course, which is this plain a lie.
By the way, you'll notice that in offering to pay for the Baltimore Bridge, he is happy to take the burden off greedy corporations that run the ship and run the insurance company.
You know, the whole model on the left is just fundamentally wrong.
I mean, it's not a question about left or right.
These are people who believe in a world that does not exist.
That's why they're wrong in how they approach Hamas.
That's why they're wrong in how they approach criminals.
That's why they're wrong in how they approach the border.
When you look at thousands and thousands of people pouring into the United States, this is by design.
This is a Biden policy.
This isn't incompetence or failure from their standpoint.
And I think you'll notice now that the New York City Council and a number of other places are asking for permission for people who are here illegally to vote.
Well, they're asking for that and Democrats are pushing Biden for an amnesty bill that would allow citizenship for tens of millions of people that are already in the country illegally.
Well, and we know that when Carter offered amnesty for the draft Dodgers who had gone to Canada, several hundred thousand of them, it was a block amnesty.
So technically, the president probably has the power to pardon millions of people.
Now, he can't make them citizens, but he can make them no longer illegal, technically, and therefore eligible to begin applying for citizenship.
And I mean, the only thing I can really come up with is that the left-wing Democrats have concluded they can never compete successfully inside a traditional American system.
They're losing Latinos.
They're losing African Americans.
They're losing the young.
There's a new poll out showing young people voting for Trump over Biden.
And so they're reaching around desperately trying to find.
And if that means they've got to import eight or nine or 10 million people illegally, well, if that's the price of winning, that's the price they're willing to pay.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll continue more with former Speaker of the House, New Kingrich.
And then your call's coming up 800-941-Sean as we continue.
All right, we continue now.
217 days till Election Day, which former Speaker of the House, New Kingrich, is with us.
You saw this weekend this Texas judge dismissing the charges against those rioting Biden illegals that we saw on video a week ago and then celebrating that they've pushed through the Texas National Guard.
If you look at an ICE press release that came out over the weekend in 2023 alone, because the Biden administration, our federal government doesn't keep statistics on violent crimes committed against Americans by illegals, but ICE pointed out nearly 50,000 Joe Biden illegals were arrested for homicide, rape, kidnapping, or violent assault.
That's 2023 alone.
Aren't they the ones that then would therefore have blood on their hands?
Well, there's no question that the number of people who have been killed, carjacked, robbed by illegal immigrants is just staggering.
And it gives everybody a sense of insecurity.
I mean, you know, if you can't go running during the daylight at a public university without a risk of being killed, how can you possibly have a sense of security?
We had a former Trump administration official killed in a carjacking on 14th Street, which is the very heart of Washington, just a few blocks away from the White House.
And I think that this is a real problem, but it's also compounded because the George Soros left-wing prosecutors refuse to prosecute.
That's how you end up with somebody who'd been arrested 21 times, still back on the street, a hardened criminal, and killing a fine young policeman who had a young baby and leaving behind his widow and his child because these people follow policies that are dangerous for legal Americans.
Almost everybody I run into everywhere I go has one question.
You know, what's going to happen in November?
I can't give them an answer.
I don't know if anybody knows what's going to happen in November.
I hope that all of the failure will be very transparent to the American people.
We know the media is going to lie to most Americans.
What is your answer to those people that ask you that question?
Well, I think that all of us have to go out and work to make it possible.
I think we have to remember we're not running against Joe Biden.
We're running against a left-wing machine of enormous power with a huge amount of money with all of the labor union organizations and all the left-wing activist organizations and all of the money, our tax money, that Biden can spend to buy allies.
So, you know, the challenge for Trump is he has to beat all of that.
He's not just running against Biden head to head.
He's running against an entire machine.
And that machine is terrified because for the first time, we have a presidential candidate who has already proven that he is prepared to take them on and prepared to get real change.
And if you're one of these left-wing groups, and by the way, I have to give Speaker Johnson a little bit of credit in the middle of a general mess.
They did get a little amendment inserted into the spending bill.
And as of this year, you will no longer see the gay pride flag or any other flag than the American flag in front of American embassies around the world.
And the left had worked very hard to be able to have the gay pride flag up, and they're about to start having the flag for transgenders and you name it, you know, and black power.
Well, all of that has now been stopped and distracted.
And it's one of the places where Mr. Johnson really has been helpful.
I would tell you, and I know that he's been under heavy fire.
He has too many rhinos in his caucus, and he doesn't have a big enough majority.
Former Speaker of the House, New Kingrich, thank you, sir, for being with us.
800-941-Sean is our number.
All right.
By the way, Linda, did you see this?
Do you call it Cicada, Cicada?
I don't even know what these bugs are called.
All I know is, yeah, I can't stand bugs in my house.
I hate it.
If I see ants in my house, if I have any, if a mosquito gets in my house, I can't stand it.
I hate them.
Well, these are a little different.
These aren't typically hard to do.
In Florida, they have no CMs they have.
Anyway, so they have no CMs.
They're basically baby, I don't know, baby mosquitoes, and they bite the hell out of you, and they feast on your arm.
They literally attack one part of your body.
I've seen this on friends of mine, and like it looks like you have a disease, and no, they just like that part of your body.
It's insane.
But anyway, so this is going to be a once in 221-year mating frenzy in the weeks ahead, and it's going to impact a pretty large portion of the country from, say, the middle of the country to the East Coast.
Is it Cicada or Cicada?
Do you know?
I think it's Cicada.
They're actually said both ways.
Like, I have a friend.
Homage.
Okay.
That was well placed.
By the way, it was homage.
And the one that says homage would be Linda, not homage.
Homage.
Miss New York Talk Radio Quote.
Which is actually pretty funny that I say it that way, but I guess, you know.
Homage.
You want to pay me any homage today?
Oh, my God.
But they're talking about not only billions, maybe trillions of these bugs are going to emerge across 17 states, according to the professor of UConn's Department of Ecology, Evolutionary Biology.
And anyone, they're the brood 13 and 14 have been underground for 17 years dormant and 13 years dormant, respectively.
They're going to emerge at the same time for the first time in 221 years.
And anyway, you know, this is occasionally now comes to fruition in North America.
They tend to emerge in very large numbers.
Once they hatch, then the nymphs feed off root sap underground until it's time to mate.
Mating season has been described as noisy and a chaotic display that could happen for weeks.
And this has not happened since Thomas Jefferson was president.
Can you imagine that?
It won't happen again until the year 2244.
By the way, I think Pennsylvania, your state, is right in the middle of this, but the co-emergence of these two different cycles is rare.
But anyway, that's, you know, it hasn't happened in 221 years.
This is going to suck.
Now, thankfully, have you been through it before?
Have you ever heard the cicadas and like the noise they make?
It's pretty wild.
Okay, I don't really want to live through wild.
I mean, there are parts of the country that are going to get blasted by this.
Thankfully, the free state of Florida is not a part of it.
Your state is.
The Northeast is.
I'm kind of glad it looks like New York City is going to get hammered by this.
I'm not sure where they're nesting, considering there's like barely anything there but concrete, but whatever.
I told them to visit the governor's mansion.
I'm like, listen, guys, it's beautiful out there.
Really?
Holka loves out-of-towners.
Go see her.
She'll love it.
Tuberculosis cases in 2023, the highest level in a decade.
Why do you think that is?
Feds now set to widen the Diddy sex probe after claims that the rapper apparently was boasting about shooting people, bribing jurors, and using J-Lo as a gun mule.
I wonder if J-Lo knew about any of this or if it's even true, but this is getting really off the wall.
It's getting crazy.
Can I ask you a question before you go to your calls, boss?
I just want to ask you a question.
Wow, did you call me boss for once?
Finally, if I'm the best.
That's fake news.
I always call you boss.
Okay, that's true.
But if I'm the boss and the boss tells you not to use the New York City subway and offers to pay for other transportation so you don't have to take it out of pocket.
I mean, I could call you Batman.
It doesn't mean that you are.
Well, why don't you listen to your boss and take him up on his generous offer?
All right, I want your opinion on this.
You ready?
Notice you didn't answer.
Go ahead.
That's right.
I know.
It's a woman's prerogative.
What can I say?
Liberal.
Go ahead.
Exactly.
Exactly like a liberal.
For this brief moment, I'll be compared to that.
The Department of Homeland Security is at the helm of this investigation into P. Diddy.
So the Department of Homeland Security, which just lost its Secretary of Mayorkas, and has Kamala Harris as the borders are, where there's more sex trafficking, more crimes against children, more child trafficking, more slave labor being brought in across our borders, more murders happening.
They have a thing called the rape tree.
I mean, I could go on and on and on, but they've decided to move their P. Diddy.
Sarah Carter reported on that.
I know.
It's incredible.
Okay.
Okay.
So you're asking me why.
I don't know the whys.
You know, why is it that 34 people were shot over the weekend in Chicago and a number of them died and nobody will ever know their name, but everybody knew the name of George Floyd.
Why is it that some people, why is it that Joe Biden could never mention the name Lake and Riley and get it right?
Why does one name make it into the forefront?
I don't know.
That phony narrative, Michael Brown, hands up, don't shoot, never happened, according to African-American eyewitnesses in Ferguson that we were tipped off about very early on in the investigation.
One of the reasons we didn't get it wrong, or why we didn't get wrong what happened in Baltimore with Freddie Gray, or why we didn't get it wrong with Duke La Crosse, or why we didn't get it wrong with UVA, or why we didn't get it wrong down in Florida in the Zimmerman case and Trayvon Martin case.
And the media, they always get it wrong.
They never correct the record.
They never apologize.
They're just corrupt to the core.
And they're not journalists.
I'm so sick and tired of these idiots over at MSDNC, the conspiracy theory channel, calling themselves journalists or fake Jake Tapper calling himself a journalist.
They're not.
They're absolutely full of Adam shift.
So anyway, let's get to our phones.
All right, let's say hi.
Jessica is in the great state of Montana.
Jessica, how are you?
Glad you checked in.
What's going on?
Oh, it's finally getting warm here.
I don't know.
How do you define warm after a cold Montana winter?
How warm is it?
Oh, it's warmer than 17 below.
What is it?
17 below?
Yeah, exactly.
We felt that this year in Iowa.
So what's the temperature today?
It's 56.
56.
Okay.
I'm going to tell you, it's like 83 and sunny where I live in Florida.
But, you know, who's every time I tell my friends now, they get pissed off at me.
I'm like, why are you mad at me?
We live in a free country.
You can live in the free state of Florida.
That's your choice.
But my friends used to harass me that were down here before me.
I know you're loving it, and they're back there.
Well, what's on your mind today?
Well, I've been a nurse for about 10 years with all the cameras and dementia on and off.
But I know he's in the bad stage of this, and he's going to get worse.
And nobody's going to say anything, you know?
Trump's going to get back, though.
Well, I hope so.
We have 217 days.
The one thing I want to tell everybody right now, don't take this election for granted.
I cannot tell anybody, and I'm always honest with my audience, with any degree of certainty, what is going to happen this election.
This is an all-hands-on-deck moment.
Use any cliche you want.
It is a tipping point election, an inflection point for the country.
All of it is true, but I can't, I'm only one vote and one voice.
And we learned, what did we learn from Jim Jordan and his committee, that my social media was suppressed in the 2020 election.
He said it on this show and he said it on TV.
And I believe him.
But so we've got to be, you've got to get the word out.
I've got to deputize every one of you that listens to this show and watches Hannity.
And thank you, by the way, for listening and watching.
So, yeah, it would not be good for the country.
We see what's happening when America abdicates its role on the world stage.
We see what happens when we have a president that caters to the radicals within his party.
Not good.
And it's not going to get better.
Jessica, love our friends in Montana.
Thank you for checking in.
Enjoy your 56-degree warm day.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
Mario calls 800-941-Sean at the top of the hour.
Caitlin Jenner checks in with us on Easter Sunday.
And of course, the Transgender Day of Visibility, the proclamation of Joe Biden on Easter Sunday.
That's all straight ahead.
Final hour roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
Let's say hi to Jan in Colorado.
Jan, hi, how are you?
Glad you checked in.
Sean, I'm real good.
What's going on?
Well, Sean, I've been reading some articles, and there's a potential threat to Donald Trump and being on the ballot in 2024 that seems to be flying under the radar.
What's that?
Well, it's the anti-Trump rhino Republicans resigning and retiring the majority way to Democrats.
And recently, Jamie Raskin introduced some legislation to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot, which would then go to the Senate.
But I think Speaker Johnson is keeping that from coming to the floor and it wouldn't pass anyway.
But if the Democrats somehow gain the majority in the House through all these rhino Republicans retiring and resigning, they're looking at possibility of the Democrats having the majority in the House, which would open the way for that legislation to pass the House and pass on to the Senate.
And I'm curious if you've heard anything about that or if you have any thoughts or know anything or have any comments.
Look, all I know is that the Republicans still have a lot of catching up to do in terms of how they approach elections.
I'm trying to do my best, and I get some pushback from some people, and I'm perfectly willing to accept it.
I know I'm not wrong, and that is I don't like the system of voting that we have.
I would like one day for voting, not a month for voting.
I would like paper ballots, voter ID, signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls, and I'd like partisan observers that watch in every precinct in the country, the voting all day and the vote counting all night.
That's what I want.
It doesn't exist.
The only way that changes is to win elections.
So with that said, I can't emphasize enough that Republicans have got to get over their reluctance to voting early and voting by mail, and they've got to get involved and up to speed and match and hopefully surpass the legal ballot harvesting efforts that the Democrats are up to their eyeballs in.
Very, very critical.
Now, I know they're in the process of trying to catch up.
I hope they can get it done by Election Day in 217 days.
But it's going to take every one of you hearing my voice right now to commit to educating everybody you come into contact with about what's at stake in this coming election.
Now, they're going to try and destroy Trump in the meantime.
They're going to demagogue and lie about abortion and in vitro fertilization.
They're going to January 6 the country to death while ignoring the 574 riots in the summer of 2020.
They're going to talk about democracy in peril, the very party that wants one elected official to have the power to eliminate a choice for president in their state and remove them from the ballot, which is a bit of a joke.
But they're not going to talk about their record.
If this election is about issues, about immigration, about law and order and safety and security, if it's about Joe Biden's horrible economy, if it's about his horrible foreign policy, Donald Trump will win by a landslide.
But they want to make it all about Trump hating Trump, demonizing Trump, and demagoguing issues.
And then they'll play the race card and they'll claim Republicans are racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic that want dirty air and water.
Are you going to fall for the same playbook that they use every year?
I hope not.
I've warned everybody.
I'm doing the best I can.
I promise you, I'm not going to stop either.
I can't stop.
Even if I wanted to stop, I can't stop.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back.
I want to remind you first, though, about Delta Defense.
Let's face it, America is not the same country we all knew.
Violent crime spiking at a very alarming rate.
The mob, the media, they're not going to tell you about it.
And in the wake of defund, dismantle, and no bail laws.
Well, most police departments now are underfunded.
You have officers saying they've had it.
They're leaving the force in droves.
New recruits, they're nowhere to be found right now.
And meanwhile, we're watching emergency response teams now doubling across the country.
And here's the unsettling truth.
You and your family, you and your employees are increasingly pretty much on your own.
I know it's a harsh reality to face, but ignoring this puts people you love at risk.
Now, thankfully, there are people at the USCCA, our partners.
They have the former head of training for the FBI.
They have partnered together, and they're bringing you something I wish I had years ago.
It's the complete concealed carry and family defense guide.
It's absolutely free.
You can download it when you go to uscca.com slash Hannity.
You may also want to check out they have classes, self-defense classes, to help prepare you for any situation you might encounter in your life.
And when is the right and proper time to maybe have to use lethal force?
Training will only help you and protect you.
Anyway, you're going to love this organization.
They have so much to offer.
Start by getting their complete concealed carry family defense guide.
