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 on this total eclipse of the Sunday.
It is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Linda, did you get your glasses and everything?
You're all set for today.
And I understand that.
Listen, I'm going to disappear in about a half an hour because I'm going to be staring up at this galactic hole, you know, with this moon and the sun all lining up.
I mean, the world is out of their mind about this.
Well, everybody is, I don't care.
I mean, I thought I'd be more interested in seeing it.
And this is going to sound awful for a lot of people.
But honestly, seeing it on TV was better.
And you're going to say that's insane.
For example, it was about 20 minutes ago that the maximum or totality of the full eclipse took place in Dallas.
And the more interesting part is, and it's actually happening now in Indianapolis because I'm looking as we speak.
I'm looking for, I think it's actually Indianapolis Speedway.
The place is packed and you have everybody, but it looks like it's nighttime out.
And when I saw that in Dallas, that part was very cool.
If you get the full eclipse in your area, it started in Dallas when it hit the U.S., I guess about one, I guess, well, 2.44 Eastern Time.
The totality ended.
It started at 1.42.
So you just get a couple of minutes of it, and everyone's got their glasses on.
And Oklahoma gets the totality of it around 1.47, just shortly thereafter.
Litter Rock, about 1.52, is when they're going to see the maximum eclipse.
I looked up other places.
Missouri, about 156.
Paducah, Kentucky.
These are all Central Times.
About 201.
That's happening right now.
Illinois is happening about now.
Indiana is happening now.
I'm looking at the Fox News channel as we speak.
It's just very cool to see that part of it because it looks like it's nighttime.
They have a Fox reporter that looks like he's in the dark.
And so that's pretty cool.
Where you are, you're going to have to leave the show in about, well, let me see about nine minutes if you want to get the totality of where you live.
Yeah, I'm going to take the kids outside and we're going to go stare up at the moon and the sun and on all the things with our special glasses.
I got a pair for the dog.
You know, we're ready to go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You got a pair for the dog?
Yeah, man.
You can't forget your pets.
A pair for you got a pair.
Yes.
It's not going to wear it.
You're going to have to.
You don't think the dog's going to look up?
Listen, animals are far more intune than we are.
No, that's true because if you looked at the earthquake videos, for example, on X, that people, you know, were taking videos at the time.
Now, moments before, the coolest video I saw was a dog that seconds, I mean, like a good seven seconds before the earthquake, anybody felt anything, got alarmed and it sensed that something was about to happen.
Exactly.
The dog knew that.
Now, my dog is 120 pounds.
The bark's a little deeper.
I'm not going to lie.
Is the dog like the cat that had to go to obese?
No, he's a German Shepherd husky.
He's a big boy.
Okay, a big boy.
So I'm just checking.
You didn't overfeed it like you overfed your cat and you nearly killed it.
I mean, he may have eaten one of the cats, but I mean, you know, we're not sure.
He may have eaten one.
It sounds like Joe Biden's dog.
24 Secret Service agents bitten by the dog we find out.
Listen, they're just learning from their owner.
It's not their fault.
How to be the biggest creep you can be.
You know, come on.
No, listen, I'm not going to lie.
I got glasses, but there's not a lot that happened in my area.
But watching it, it's just cool to watch it on TV, too.
Have you seen the cool thing that they're doing now for this eclipse?
What's up?
Hundreds of people, at least in Arkansas, have decided to get married during the eclipse.
Hundreds of couples.
Well, listen, then you got the conspiracies surrounding this thing.
I mean, people thinking that this might be a sign of the end of times.
Maybe they're missing that one quote, that one biblical quote at that time and hour when the world ends.
Nobody knows but the father.
So you can guess all you want, but you don't know.
Actually, since the time of the apostles, people thought the end of time was right around the corner, and it wasn't.
But people now in the Northeast are going to get their look at it.
Linda will get the first shot coming up.
you should go you should actually leave now i did send you a note you didn't respond to but i actually did respond to your note Maybe if you checked your books, you would know that.
No one texts faster than me, my friend.
Not a single person in this team.
Okay, I looked before the show started.
I stand there.
Yeah, you sound like a liberal.
Excuses.
Oh, my gosh.
Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
No, I woke up on the right side of the eclipse.
Now I'm going to go out on the other side.
All right.
Let us know when you're back so we can put you back on the show.
You got it.
So Indianapolis was dark.
Now it's light.
It's pretty, it's just that part of it's very interesting to me.
I think this is one of the saddest times for this country.
What has now happened with Israel?
Now, I'm going to play for you.
This is out of Dearborn, Michigan.
Everything that starting with Chuck Schumer and then followed up by most major Democrats, they have now turned on our ally, the only democracy in the region, our friend, people that were there for us after 9-11, and they never wavered.
Prime Minister Netanyahu never, ever wavered and never lectured America on how it should fight its war on terror.
And in the end, a lot of mistakes were made.
A lot.
And thankfully, we don't have to fight wars like that anymore because of advanced military technology.
But the idea that Biden looked at his numbers in Michigan and 18.9% of Democrats in the primary did not vote for him and said anybody but him led him now to change his position.
And the radicals now have taken over the party.
This is now the full Democratic Party.
You have Nancy Pelosi now calling for the U.S. to cut off military aid to Israel.
We now have a president that doesn't have any problem, never spoke out against opponents.
They've weaponized our justice system to go after his number one opponent.
And worse than that, Democratic politicians want to take a Republican presidential candidate off the ballot for something that they call an insurrection, of which that candidate has never been charged with, let alone convicted of.
And this is now the entire Democratic Party.
And by the way, they're scared to death at the Democratic Convention that all of these radicals, like the ones that protested and were shouting down Hillary at Wellesley College, that this is now going to be an all-summer-long affair.
So at the end of the day, basically it has now become National Review had a good line about it.
Democratic politics now have shifted toward the view that Hamas should win because it's becoming too politically hot for Joe Biden to support the victims of terrorism.
Israel was the victim of the worst terror attack in their history.
You know, we have a poll showing a majority of Democrats want to cut off military aid to Israel.
This is now the radicals now that have taken over this party.
It's in Congresswoman Talib's district where this weekend they were shouting, death to Israel, death to America.
I want you to listen to this radical imam.
Gazza has shown the entire world why these protests are so anti-America.
Because it's the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about.
And this is why Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Day of Qurz, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America.
Malcolm X said, and I quote, We live in one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this earth.
It's not Genocide Joe that has to go.
It's the entire system that has to go.
Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it, such a system does not deserve to exist on God's earth.
And so when these fools ask us if Israel has the right to exist, the chant death to Israel has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today.
They prefer the thought that they may lose votes is now taking precedence over a stand against radical Islamic terrorism.
That is your radical Democratic Party.
That is the same party with radical environmental views, the same party that want to shove EVs in your driveway, whether you want one or not.
I have no problem if you want one, but they're forcing it on you.
Like they're forcing people to get rid of their gas stoves and lecturing us about what kind of cars we drive, what kind of stoves we use, what kind of refrigerators we can have, what kind of air conditioning we can use, if any.
And now they're undermining the only democracy in the region.
This is a repulsive moment for America that is supposed to stand for the cause of liberty and the cause of freedom and have the moral clarity and strength of conviction to stand against radical Islamic terrorists.
But no, they're trying to undermine a prime minister of our top ally.
Would Joe Biden dare ever try that against President Xi?
No, because the Biden family is likely compromised by China.
Would he do it to Putin in Russia?
No, because while he was canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, he was giving waivers, granting waivers to Vladimir Putin to build out his pipeline.
That's your Democratic Party.
That's what's at stake in 210 days.
That's what this party now stands for.
You know, we have now people in states chanting death to Israel, death to America.
Well, that's what BB's been saying.
It's not fine.
They take out Israel.
You say, well, okay.
Well, you think that's fine to let radical Islamists win?
Do you think they're finished when they're done with Israel?
Or does this convert or die mentality spread like we've seen rabid, virulent hatred, anti-Semitism on our college campuses and all across the country with little to zero penalties for the people involved in this vile hate in a day and age of wokeism and political correctness or the fact that they're chanting in Australia, gas the Jews, F the Jews, or all throughout Europe.
The emergence of anti-Semitism over there has been beyond chilling.
The U.S. is preparing for a significant attack, and they're doing this all at a time when the CIA warned on Friday that an attack by Iran against Israel is imminent because Israel dared to strike Damascus,
where top Iranian commanders who had been aiding and abetting in this terror attack, has Joe forgotten we still have hostages being held in Israel as he's now trying to undermine Prime Minister Netanyahu?
You know, is Joe responsible for the IDF now pulling back their troops from Gaza before finishing the job and winning the war on terror, which should have been the clear, unambiguous message the whole time that we should win war against those people that would kill innocent men, women, and children?
Did Joe Biden call that?
Cause that?
Certainly seems like it.
They have gotten more aggressive by the day.
And the only reason, the only reason this is happening because it's all based on a pure political calculation.
And Joe Biden cares more about his power than taking the moral clarity stand of, no, we will unite against terrorism in whatever form it takes, whatever country it takes place in, and any manifestation it takes place in.
Because let me tell you something.
This will bite the world in its ass faster than you can imagine.
Unbelievable.
No, war is ugly.
Yeah, mistakes happen.
It happened in our own war on terror.
Anyone remember a guy by the name of Tillman, friendly fire, death?
It is horrible.
This war was started by Hamas, the terror organization.
The Palestinian people put them in power.
A poll in the last two weeks showed 70% of them would put them back in power again.
It's unbelievable.
If you look at Eastern time, where this all started in the Northeast and the U.S., I mean, Dallas had their maximum eclipse at 2.42 Eastern and about 3.33 Eastern Time, Caribou, Maine will have theirs.
And right now, if you're in Lancaster, New Hampshire, you are at the maximum eclipse that you're going to see in the state of New Hampshire.
I mean, so it made a pretty good run through the country pretty quickly.
But it's pretty cool to see.
I'm looking at Martha McCallum.
It seems to have gotten pretty dark in New York City even for part of this.
But I know a lot of people are crazy about it.
Anyway, we'll get Linda's take when she gets back.
She went on an eclipse break.
We'll get a full report.
News all afternoon.
When you get off work, be sure to check in first for everything you miss during the day.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
25 to the top of the hour.
Happy Monday, 800.
Happy Solar Eclipse Day.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, since 9-11-01, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they have been committed to supporting our nation's first responders and our veterans, the people that put their lives on the line for our communities, our country.
That means people like U.S. Army Major Jonathan Turnbull.
Now, he sustained devastating injuries at the hands of an ISIS suicide bomber.
Now, he lost his left eye completely, had a puncture to his right eye.
He needed more than 20 surgeries, hours and hours and hours of rehabilitation.
And Tunnel to Towers stepped up.
They paid off his mortgage and gave him a specially adapted smart home designed for his specific injuries.
And with people like you, the foundation is able to support families like the Turnbulls.
Now, you can join the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and support America's heroes.
And that means our nation's catastrophically injured vets and first responders and homeless vets and Gold Star families and families of fallen first responders.
We hope you'll join all of us here at Team Hannity and go to their website, commit to $11 a month to get this great work continuing.
It's the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
No word yet.
Today, by the way, we know by the end of today what Merrick Garland is going to do.
And if he doesn't turn over the audio tapes of Joe Biden's special counsel and the interview that he gave Robert Hur, then he will be held in contempt.
He should be held in contempt.
And if held in contempt, we should not have unequal application of our laws.
For example, people like Lois Lerner and people, let's see, like Eric Holder.
They were held in contempt of Congress.
Unlike Peter Navarro, they're not spending four months in jail.
And Steve Bannon is out pending appeal, but odds are probably high because he's a conservative and a Republican that they'll put him in jail.
Probably for the same length of time they put Peter Navarro in jail.
And they only put certain people in jail.
But anyway, today's the deadline for Merrick Garland to produce the subpoenaed audio recordings of Robert Hurr's interview with Biden or risk being held in contempt of Congress.
Now, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Jim Jordan of the House Judiciary Committee, they have threatened to hold Garland in contempt over their failure at the Justice Department that has been weaponized to produce the records.
Last month they set today, April 8th, as the deadline for Garland to comply.
The department continues to withhold additional material responsive to the committee's subpoenas, specifically the audio recordings of special counsel Her's interviews with President Biden and the transcript and audio recordings of special counsel Hurr's interviews with the Biden biographer.
That's the guy that apparently Joe bragged about sharing.
Oh, I found more classified information in my basement.
Let me read it to you.
The guy had no security clearance.
Anyway, the February 27th subpoenas create a legal obligation for you to produce this material.
And anyway, it should be handed in no later than 12 p.m.
That means the deadline has passed today.
If you fail to do so, the committee will consider taking further action, such as the invoking and the contempt of Congress proceedings.
They wrote.
That would be appropriate.
You had till 12 Eastern today to comply.
If he doesn't want to comply, then, okay, then you should get the same treatment.
On Friday, a federal judge, Jonathan Turley, had a good piece on this, just ripped the Justice Department for blowing off Hunter Biden-related subpoenas issued in the impeachment probe of his father.
And that's the president pointing out that a former aide to Donald Trump is now sitting in prison for a similar defiance of Congress.
The U.S. District Judge, a Biden appointee, by the way, on the federal district court in D.C., spent nearly an hour accusing Justice Department attorneys of rank hypocrisy for instructing two other lawyers in the DOJ tax division not to comply with the House subpoenas.
Quote, there's a person in jail right now because you all brought a criminal lawsuit against him because he did not appear for a House subpoena, Rays said in a recent in the about the recent imprisonment of Peter Navarro.
That's the former Trump advisor because he didn't show up to the January 6th Select Committee and they held him in contempt.
And by the way, now you guys are flouting those subpoenas and you don't have to show up.
I think it's quite rich you guys pursue criminal investigations and put people in jail for not showing up, but then direct current executive branch employees to take the same approach.
You all are making a bunch of arguments that you would never accept from any other litigant.
Pretty frenetic thrashing, as Turley said, in what was expected to be a relatively routine introductory status conference on the House Judiciary Committee suing last month to enforce its DOJ subpoena of the attorneys Mark Daly and Jack Morgan over their involvement in the investigation of Hunter Biden's business dealings.
I'll tell you another thing the Biden DOJ didn't do.
They've been slow walking what is a slam-dunk case against the man that allegedly tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh.
I mean, what was the whole point of insurrection, insurrection, insurrection, insurrection?
You're going to hear a lot.
January 6th, January 6th, January 6th, January 6th.
We've learned a lot about January 6th since the prime time Hollywood-produced Liz Cheney extravaganza theater that was put up.
We learned, for example, that a lot of the documents magically disappeared.
How convenient that that happened.
We learned that they put front and center a hearsay witness on the issue of whether or not Donald Trump tried to commandeer the vehicle that was driving him on January 6th.
What they didn't tell the American people was the Secret Service agent driving that car said not only did he not try to commandeer the vehicle, that it would have been impossible for him to attempt to do so because of the barrier between the passenger seat and the driver's seat in the car that they were using that day.
I mean, unbelievable.
Then, of course, we have not one, not two, not three.
I have four people that I've interviewed, and the fifth person, General Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, all saying in the days leading up to January 6th that Donald Trump authorized 10,000 guard troops.
But it was D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser that in writing declined them.
And as a matter of law, she would have to request them before Donald Trump could actually officially call them up.
And they didn't make a big deal over the fact that the Capitol Police Chief Son, he since has walked away from that mess.
Don't blame him, but he wrote a pretty revealing book.
January 6th committee had no interest in him because he was begging for the National Guard.
Even eventually, way late in the game, over at NBC News, Lester Holt, I'll give him the credit, not NBC News the credit, but I'll give Lester Holt the credit, reported that, in fact, there was actionable intelligence available about people that wanted to create chaos on January 6th, and yet the police chief was begging for the guard and nobody paid attention to them.
Well, shouldn't part of their mission have been that they want to prevent another January 6th from ever happening again?
That would be the way to do it.
Learn the facts.
Learn what happened.
But what did I tell you from day one?
They had a predetermined political outcome.
I love Democrats.
I love over at MSDNC.
They didn't want to even hear from Ronna McDaniel.
They hire her, they fire her, get rid of her.
It's going to be interesting to see what her next move is.
I would imagine it's legal, and I would imagine it's against NBC and probably against some of their on-air conspiracy theorists, talk liberal leftist talk show hosts that they have there.
That would be the right move, in my view.
But we'll have to wait and see.
Isn't it interesting that there was no interest for any Democrat to hold any hearings on the summer of 2020 rioting that went on around the country that actually killed a couple of dozen Americans, injured thousands of cops, and caused billions in property damage.
Is that an insurrection too?
Is that rioting also?
Is one riot more important because you can only bludgeon Donald Trump with the one and a vice president than a candidate tweeting out a bail fund for the people, you know, after the burning down of a police precinct?
I mean, this is not justice in America.
This is why what happens in 210 days, I cannot be more forceful enough in telling you how important all of this is.
You know what's sad economically, not only the numbers we gave you last week that, you know, prices from four years ago up 39%, we learned that, look, I never went to a 99 cent store because there's none that there was a dollar store that I've been in, but I never went to a 99 cent store.
Apparently, there were nearly 400 of them around the country, and they're all closing down because you can't even buy anything for 99 cents or 89 cents and make 10 cents profit.
Anyway, they have 371 locations, all of which set for merchandise and real estate liquidation.
Anyway, they have now engaged in extensive analysis of alternative solutions for the business to continue.
But unfortunately, the last several years have presented significant, lasting challenges in the retail environment, rising levels of shoplifting, persistent inflationary pressures, and other macroeconomic headwinds, all of which have hindered our company's ability to operate.
In other words, Bidenomics, I'll play a field later.
Even David Oxara says, stop talking about this.
You sound like an idiot.
Said it drives him crazy when Biden is extolling the virtues of the economy.
It should.
Now, remember last week, by the end of the week, they said, oh, look at this.
We have so many jobs that were created.
303,000.
Now, almost every month they give a big number and they revise it downward when nobody's paying attention.
And the people over at NBC were like wetting their pants over this report.
Well, Zero Hedge actually did a deep dive into this.
And what they have pointed out is, unlike the last two months when both January and February jobs reports were beyond ridiculously manipulated and goals seek to pass a terrible number on as a strong one, the March print was not a complete disaster, they point out.
But then they go on to say about that blowout jobs report reported Friday and touted by Biden and the mob and the media that it was almost literally all part-time jobs and jobs for illegal immigrants.
Whoopsie-daisy, the number of part-time jobs went up 691,000.
That's now up to 28,632,000 nationwide.
That's up nearly a full million.
My goodness.
And then, of course, the number only gets scarier when you look at illegal immigrants and the number of people that are being hired.
Those are jobs being taken away from American citizens.
Also, with 10 million plus Biden illegals, not only do states have to provide food and housing and shelter and health care and education that they can't afford, but it gets even worse than that.
Now they're taking jobs and they're willing to work for less than Americans.
That's taking away opportunities from the American people.
It's unreal.
Number of foreign-born workers is outpassing the number of native-born workers.
And that divide is growing larger every day because of Joe Biden's nearly 10 million illegal immigrants.
Now we have inflation rising yet again, you know, up 3.2% from last year, the consumer price index, then the wholesale price index going up.
We've told you about that.
Now gas prices are going up.
You know, in California, on average, they're paying over $5.30 a gallon.
In Florida, it's closer to $3 a gallon.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
Why is that?
And now Gavin is suing the oil companies.
Well, who do you think is going to pay for the expensive lawyers that they're going to have to hire?
That would be all of us in the country.
And Biden's threatening to do the same.
And by the way, ironically, even the Washington Post reported that amid explosive demand, America's running out of power.
But of course, Democrats and the climate alarmist religious cultists are not going to do anything for that.
And after draining strategic petroleum reserves to the lowest level in 40 years in the lead up to the 2022 midterms, Biden had plans to refill it, but now oil is way too expensive again, meaning that just keep watching the price of gas go higher and higher and higher.
You know, Realtor.com had an interesting study, and they revealed that 60%, it's 60% cheaper to rent a home than to buy one in the U.S. and its largest 50 metropolitan areas.
And people can't afford the high interest rates, and prices aren't going down, and there's not many people willing to sell their homes and give up their 2.9 or 3.9% 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.
Why should they ever give that up?
That would be stupid.
All right, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
We've got a lot to get to.
Donald Trump's talking about his support for IVF today, and he said, yeah, letting the states decide on the issue of abortion.
It should be in the purview of the states because then the people, either directly or through their elected representatives in the states, will decide.
Lindsey Graham didn't like it.
He wants a nationwide 15-week abortion for abortion to be legal.
But I will tell you, Democrats are going to demagogue the issue.
We saw that happening in the runoff election for George Santos' seat.
By the way, these disease outbreaks are plaguing migrant shelters all around the country in the wake of Biden's decision to waive vaccine mandates for illegal immigrants.
Of course, he makes exceptions for illegal immigrants.
That's all he does.
He's been aiding and abetting the law breaking.
You have a new video showing Biden illegals pouring across the border after cutting through rows of razor wire.
You have a man stabbed in the chest outside a New York City hotel housing illegal immigrants.
It's unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
I'll tell you, 210 days can't get here fast enough.
By the way, latest survey of Rasmussen shows Joe Biden's support is collapsing with a lot of his base of his party.
African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and young people.
Well, tell me where you're better off than you were four years ago because I can't think of it.
800-941-Sean is a number.
You know, nowadays, $20, you can barely get your burger, fries, and a Coke.
It will get you, however, unlimited talk and text and plenty of 5G data from my cell phone company, a veteran-owned company known as PureTalk.
And they use the same 5G network as ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile.
And they use the same exact cell towers, but you get it for half the cost.
Average family saving close to $1,000 a year for the exact same service with no contract aside, no activation fee.
Now, by the way, you make the switch today, you'll save an additional 50% off your first month for the exact same service.
And 20 bucks a month gets you a lot more than you're going to get going to a burger place.
Just dial pound250, making the transition as simple, fast, and easy.
Make the switch.
Just say the keyword save now.
Pound250.
Key words saved now from our friends at Pure Talk.
All right, when we come back, well, analyze how horrific it is that Joe Biden has abandoned Israel.
He has chosen just pure political partisanship and political ambition over standing with an ally in their battle against terrorists, radical terrorists.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis checks in and your calls 800-941-Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
Straight ahead.
