| They put me to the front of the line so I could get my printing done. | |
| And uh they didn't help me with my garage door, but hey, what what you know? | |

| The phone number here is 1-800-941. | |
| 800-941. | |
| And you know, there's a lot of um just a lot going on, and I have some great guests to really talk about it, but I have a really special guest I'm excited about today. | |
| Uh, Kelsey Grammar's joining me, and we're gonna talk about a very special memorial, and then we're gonna talk too about his new show that he's doing on Fox Nation. | |
| So we'll talk to him. | |
| Then also my buddy Pastor Jack Hibbs is joining us. | |
| Sabin Howard is the master sculptor for that National World War One memorial. | |
| We'll talk to him. | |
| I've seen the memorial. | |
| I was in England last week to take a look at it. | |
| Fabulous, unbelievable. | |
| We'll talk more about that coming up, and of course, Greg Jarrett, because he's got to explain to all of us everything that's going on today. | |
| So before we get started with the show, though, I do my monologue. | |
| Now, there's some portions of it we've talked about before on here, I've talked about, but I just want to bring it all together because this is the nation's birthday, right? | |
| And this 4th of July should serve as a reminder that we have been given a very special gift, a gift of freedom by way of a republic. | |
| But that freedom, that republic is holding on by a thread, and you know it. | |
| Our nation is in great need of healing, and every one of us are the solution to its healing. | |
| No one else, nothing else. | |
| Every effort must be made to preserve our constitution and our liberties, and it must be made by us. | |
| And I know that as you consider the state of affairs in America, and let's be honest, throughout the globe, you're dismayed and you're discouraged, and I share that dismay with you in that discouragement. | |
| I really do. | |
| Because those who have been charged to protect our constitution and our liberties have failed us. | |
| Let's think about this. | |
| The year was 1787. | |
| The place was the state house in Philadelphia, the same location, the Declaration of Independence was signed 11 years earlier. | |
| It was over four months. | |
| Four months, people that 55 delegates met and deliberated over the process. | |
| They sacrificed that time, that part of their lives, so that they could frame a constitution for a federal republic. | |
| God bless them. | |
| When Benjamin Franklin, and you know this story, left Independence Hall when the Constitutional Convention had Come to an end on that final day of deliberation in 1787, a woman stopped him to ask, Well, Doctor, what have we got? | |
| A republic or a monarchy? | |
| And Franklin said, and you know the answer to this, a republic if you can keep it. | |
| I truly believe that is the challenge that we face today. | |
| We have been given a republic. | |
| Can we keep it? | |
| We must keep it. | |
| And you know, by the way, it was Franklin who reminded us that freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but rather a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature. | |
| And that is an important point when one considers that God, not man, is the author of our freedom. | |
| Then if you believe that, and if everyone believed then, then no man can take that freedom away. | |
| It is a gift from God and God alone. | |
| When we enter this week of our nation's birthday, we owe it to our founding fathers, this life of ours, a life that's dedicated to preserving our constitution, a constitution that provides for freedom for all. | |
| And we've got to be willing to put in whatever time and energy is necessary to ensure a free and prosperous future for other generations, for generations of people that you know what? | |
| You're never going to know. | |
| Not just your kids, your grandkids and their grandkids, but then their grandkids and so forth. | |
| Generations of people you will never see, faces you will never see, names you will never call out. | |
| Guess what? | |
| It was done for us. | |
| They didn't know us, but they knew that future generations would benefit from what they did for us. | |
| Can't we now do the same? | |
| Honestly, we're in this amazing time in the history of our nation. | |
| Do you realize that we're living in a time in history with an opportunity that seldom presents itself? | |
| It's an opportunity to do something great, something almost as great as what our founding fathers had done for us. | |
| They established our freedoms as they they saw them handed down by God. | |
| Now we are being called upon to uphold and protect those freedoms, as they have never been so severely threatened since they were first proclaimed, those 248 years ago this week. | |
| What a calling we have. | |
| What an opportunity. | |
| We must share that knowledge that we have, the history of this great nation with others, inform them, educate them. | |
| But this opportunity that we have right now, it is a fleeting opportunity. | |
| I truly believe that. | |
| Just as it was in the early days of July in 1776, exactly 248 years ago, and I've talked about this before on this show, in fact, Continental Congress was to embark on the most radical event of all time. | |
| Thirteen colonies were going to become a new nation. | |
| They declared that the name of that newly formed nation that was fighting for its independence from Great Britain would be the United States. | |
| And at that time, in 1776 in July, everyone in the room agreed. | |
| Continental Congress, they all believed that it needed to be done, that they had to declare independence from this tyrannical rule that was suffocating them. | |
| It was the timing that caused them to hesitate. | |
| And I've asked you this who can blame them? | |
| Who could blame them? | |
| Because once they made that declaration of independence from that king, they were putting everything at risk. | |
| Their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. | |
| And that required great courage. | |
| It was their hesitation, though, that threatened to delay the process. | |
| We can't afford to hesitate. | |
| Were they ready for the ramifications? | |
| Not really. | |
| And being able to read the room, John Witherspoon stood up. | |
| He made a long speech. | |
| I'm only going to give you part of it. | |
| He said, There is a tide in the affairs of men. | |
| We perceive it now before us. | |
| To hesitate is to consent to our own slavery. | |
| Don't you have that same sense of a fleeting opportunity? | |
| I do. | |
| You know, when Weatherspoon was done, the delegates then all approved the declaration. | |
| And historians tell us, if anybody reads history books anymore, but historians tell us that many of those men, having immediately recognized the magnitude of what they had just done, wept openly. | |
| They wept while others bowed their heads in prayer. | |
| So you've got these very smart men who gave us our freedom, these very articulate men who knew how to spell out the case for that freedom, these very brave men who knew that this was dangerous business, this independence, they wept. | |
| These spiritual men who knew that God and God alone was the author of their faith and freedom, they bowed before him. | |
| Because they were once slaves to an oppressive government. | |
| They wept because now there might be freedom. | |
| And somehow I can't get over the idea that if they could see us right now, they would weep once more. | |
| Because who wants it to be said of us that we were once free, but now again, slaves to an oppressive government? | |
| God forbid. | |
| But we find ourselves in every bit of a crisis that our founding fathers found themselves. | |
| And just as Payne's time, as in his time, we find ourselves in a struggle. | |
| We know just like he did that what we obtain too cheap, he said, we esteem too lightly. | |
| Wow, think about that. | |
| It's what we care for most lovingly that has the greatest value. | |
| If I asked you what it was that you value most that you want to leave as an inheritance to your children, what wouldn't that be? | |
| I just went through all of that when our father passed away. | |
| Would it be an antique, a sports car, a beautiful home, precious metals, stocks? | |
| Or should it be something more precious, like liberty? | |
| Shouldn't we desire to secure that inheritance for them, for their children, and then theirs? | |
| I'm going to read I always love ending with something from Ronald Reagan, and these are his words from the third State of the Union speech. | |
| And I hope that you can take solace in them, and that you will take courage in them and be incentivized by them. | |
| For they are as true today as they were when he first spoke them. | |
| He said, How can we not believe in the greatness of America? | |
| How can we not do what is right and needed to preserve this last best hope of man on earth after all our struggles to restore America to revive confidence in our country, hope for the future after all our hard-won victories earned through the patience and courage of every single citizen? | |
| We cannot, must not, and will not turn back. | |
| We will finish our job. | |
| How could we do less? | |
| We are Americans. | |
| Please, today, this week, remember her greatness, America's greatness this week. | |
| How can we do less? | |
| Because we are Americans. | |
| How can we not do what is right and what is needed? | |
| We'll be back with lots more on the Hannity Show. | |

| And if you subscribe to She is Called by Him, you get a free newsletter from me just about every week. | |

| You can do that through She is Called by Him or even at Rose Unplugged. | |
| It all will go into the general mailbox to get you signed up for our newsletters. | |
| You know, I didn't get to finish to there were some other things I one of the other things that Ronald Reagan said in that speech is he quoted Carl Sandberg. | |
| And Carl Sandberg said, I see America not in the setting sun of a black night of despair. | |
| I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun, fresh from the burning creative hand of God. | |
| I see great days ahead for men and women of will and vision. | |
| And ladies and gentlemen, I know because I get like that too. | |
| I get discouraged by what I see. | |
| I mean, we are like so far away from where we once were. | |
| And we don't teach our children. | |
| The schools don't, even we are negligent in many ways in terms of teaching them about the greatness of America. | |
| It's okay. | |
| It's okay because she was great because in that same speech, he said, we will carry on the tradition of a good and worthy people who have brought light where there was darkness. | |
| We did that. | |
| Warmth where there was cold, that medicine where there was a disease, that food where there was hunger. | |
| And peace where there was only blood shed. | |
| We can think about those words that Ronald Reagan spoke. | |
| And I know so many times we say, ah, we're so far past that. | |
| Girl, we are gone. | |
| There's no coming back. | |
| Well, you know what? | |
| You don't know what God wants to do. | |
| No one knew what he was going to do with this nation in the first place. | |
| And one of the things that we'll talk about later with Pastor Jack Hibbs is just to encourage you. | |
| Encourage you about how this country was founded on such godly principles by godly men and women who wanted everyone to just live a free and prosperous life. | |
| That was their hope for themselves and for future generations. | |
| So I say there is, you know, and there's this really great thing that's going on, and it was started by the Tennessee governor uh 31 days starting today of prayer and fasting. | |
| Whenever you can fast, do it. | |
| I love fasting. | |
| It's awesome. | |
| But um the prayer part, we can all commit to one another to be involved in that. | |
| Pray for our nation. | |
| Pray for each other individually. | |
| There's things are tough sometimes. | |
| There's a lot of people that tell me that, you know, they run out of paycheck way before they run out of month. | |
| And that is a story I hear over and over and over again. | |
| So anyway, I hope this show encourages you today. | |
| That is my intent. | |
| I want you to be encouraged because you never know. | |
| You never know, but we have collectively got to come together, have that positive attitude and remember the greatness of America. | |
| All right, so check us out. | |
| And uh, feel free to call in coming up next, Kelsey Grammar. | |
| Lots to talk about with him. | |
| Fun new show that he has. | |
| All right, welcome back to the Hannity Show. | |
| And my name is Rose. | |
| So glad to be here with all of you, and I look forward to your input. | |
| And Kelsey Grammar is due to be on soon. | |
| Apparently he's on stage at the moment. | |
| So we'll just stand by for him if that's okay with everybody. | |
| It's certainly okay with me. | |
| Um he has a brand new docuseries. | |
| It's it starts this week. | |
| It's four parts, and I can't wait to talk to him about it because it's about George Washington. | |
| It's called Rise of a Revolutionary. | |
| And I gotta tell you, George Washington, I mean, here we've been talking about great leadership in this country and those who encourage us and incite us to do the right thing. | |
| And George Washington was has got to be one of the best, right? | |
| You know one of the other things that I I recall is learning that they he was so beloved by those who served under him in the army, but also he was beloved by the country itself. | |
| The entire country really loved him so much so that they wanted him to become king. | |
| And then they thought, just how easily we forget. | |
| Am I right? | |
| You just you just got yourself one year, you're winning yourself freedom from tyrannical rule, and we don't want a monarchy, we want a republic. | |
| And then they're like, hey, why don't you be our pres our um king? | |
| It's but that's so typical. | |
| That is truly human nature, isn't it? | |
| So one of the things I want to talk to him about is the um World War One Memorial. | |
| Now, this is really neat too because we have a national World War One memorial. | |
| Now, we haven't had it before, but we do have it right now, and I'm really excited about it, and we're gonna be talking about that, in fact, right now. | |
| But it is the first time that we've had one. | |
| It will be installed in Washington, DC in Pershing Park in September, September 13th, to be exact. | |
| Joining me today is award-winning actor Kelsey Grammer, and uh he's got this fabulous docuserie that's coming out this week. | |
| It's called George, Rise of a Revolutionary, four-part combination of commentary, dramatic recreation, and he is not only acting in it or narrating it, but he's executive producer, so that's pretty exciting. | |
| And he shares with me the love of this beautiful monument that's going to be installed in September. | |
| So welcome to the show, Kelsey Grammar. | |
| How are you? | |
| I'm very well, how are you? | |
| I'm doing well too. | |
| Listen, I'm I'm sorry I missed you in England, but I was in Stroud last week and I got to see isn't it? | |
| Well, it's really breathtaking. | |
| It's really something I'm going when I first saw it. | |
| I was I saw them sort of halfway through about a year and a half ago, and uh it just it just grabbed at my heart and and made me proud and made me sing the praises of Saban Howard, of course, but I mean, it is such an ambitious project, and it's such a it's such a fitting monument to the sacrifices of our family members, you know, from years before, of course. | |
| But you know, that's that's our heritage there, standing there in that picture. | |
| And it is. | |
| The responsibility of freedom. | |
| It's a beautiful, beautiful piece. | |
| It was so many people, Kelsey wept right in front of that monument when we looked at it when it was unveiled in England. | |
| And why did it why did it touch you so much? | |
| Because I know that you've been a great supporter of his all the way through the project. | |
| Why? | |
| Yeah, I just you know it's it's one of my favorite um bits of statuary is is a very similar one. | |
| Uh I believe it's about World War One as well. | |
| It's along that having a walkway in off of Central Park, uh, of the soldiers that they're kind of going over the top, I think is what you know that they used to call it when they'd go into battle. | |
| But um when Saban and his uh group of friends sort of approached me about it, I it made me think of that and then they showed me a sort of a a maquette of a or you know a a smaller version of what the the wall was going to be and uh it just took my breath away. | |
| I also have a I as a young man, um I was a young boy actually I was about maybe eleven or twelve, but I met a man who actually served in World War One. | |
| And um he told me stories of when they would get the order to go over the top and and days before, like for instance on Christmas Day they'd exchanged gifts with uh soldiers and we're we're ordered to go over and try to kill them. | |
| It it was my ordinarily strange exotic way of conducting a war. | |
| And um of course you know a lot of people died but um and then um thankfully you know I mean the uh the the Spanish flu probably helped put an end to it as well as the fact that f finally men were finally saying we're not gonna do this anymore. | |
| I agree with you. | |
| I agree and you know and Sabin is uh joining me later today on the show so I'm excited about that. | |
| And thank you for your support of him and his great work. | |
| We're gonna talk about it in great detail, but I was reading today that you've got this docuseries. | |
| So we're talking about World War One Memorial, which of course wasn't meant according to Sabin to glorify war not at all, but rather the humanity and the suffering and the sacrifice that's attached to that horrific war as you just said. | |
| But one of the things that um th that he spoke of was that sacrifice and then you talk about George Washington in this new docuseries. | |
| I have to tell you he is one of my favorites. | |
| I've always been fascinated with him. | |
| What did you find most fascinating? | |
| Um well George has been a constant source of fascination for me since I first heard about him, you know, chopping down the cherry tree. | |
| Uh everybody knows that may be some sort of an apocryphal thing. | |
| I mean I don't really know it's just uh um just a story that's told but it is it is it does point to a guy who is willing to stand up for what he knew was right. | |
| And that is what I believe George Washington taught us in many many ways and in extraordinary ways. | |
| Um this show focuses a bit more on his impetuosity and his youthfulness and his um his um ego and pride and and the the the the hurdles he had to kind of suffer through when he was a young man in in the employee of the British military. | |
| But and his hopes and aspirations of course were dashed by what was you know a presumption of um well it's a mediocrity I think is what happened. | |
| I think the Brits actually at the time really looked down on anybody from America, which maybe hasn't changed that much you know he was so well you talk about his pride. | |
| He was so widely liked and loved that they wanted him to become king but he did I mean he did put his pride aside because he did understand that hey wait a minute we just got away from a monarchy trying to establish a republic and y I'll pass on the the kingship thank you very much. | |
| I mean there may be one king that would be Jesus that was sort of the only thing they ever really sort of still saluted was the idea that there was a Christ and and that uh God God gave us rights, not uh not governments and that's that's what he fought and died for. | |
| I mean he didn't die of course in that context, but he he fell on his sword in many ways because he actually said I'm giving up my generalship a man who's in the army should not be the leader of the the nation. | |
| He set examples about conduct that I don't see it's it's hard to find any that would match him anywhere in our history. | |
| And his his m what may have been read as arrogance and what now they try to tell us is arrogance. | |
| His insistence that American policy be based upon what's good for America and not what's good for the rest of the world is still being argued over. | |
| But he was he was a rabid American leader and he was not going to take advice or instruction from anybody but the people of the United States. | |
| And that's what I I still admire to this day. | |
| Same here and I love that you brought up his faith because it's been said of him that he sustained an army but that God sustained him and he truly led a very faithful life and I do you cover any of that in the docuseries? | |
| It's not it's not front and center on it, but um but um I'm uh you know I always try to uh give a kind of an advisory um notion of whenever I speak about George you know it he has always throughout his history reminded people that if you thought we won this war without the help of God or providence or divine intervention then you're just crazy because it was impossible except Oh it was the | |
| hardships that they went through and I I remember one of the quotes he he had for his army he said I feel super abundantly for them and from my soul I pity those miseries which it is neither in my power to relieve or prevent I mean he was brokenhearted over what they had to experience at Valley Forge especially. | |
| Yeah absolutely remarkable guy empathetic but also with a real vision that you know could not measure anything but the goal you know in in times of suffering you just don't have to keep your eye on the goal and yeah well you so this docuseries goes I goes out this week Fox Nation am I right? | |
| Yes yes Fox Nation Congratulations on that I have to just say real quick favorite episode with you on Cheers, Frederick's first word Norm that was the cutest thing. | |
| Anyway, you are a very talented man and you're uh you're very gracious with your time and we appreciate that. | |
| Bless you nice talking with you. | |
| Thank you same here. | |
| Take care. | |
| All right, Kelsey Grammar don't forget she's got his docuseries it's starting this week on Fox Nation and it's all about George Rise of a revolutionary and they say that they kind of take a look at some of the things uh in a new way where George Washington is concerned and they expose some of the lesser known facts about the father of our country. | |
| And George Washington, you know, and it's just so appropriate that we had Kelsey on right now to talk about that briefly and that we are talking about the things that we are today because these are all we we we talk about sacrifices that were made for the good things that people have gone through. | |
| I mean like when Kelsey brought up you know I remember reading those stories about people on the front line and you know they would stop the the war would stop for a while on Christmas Day and as he said some of them were exchanging gifts then they had to turn around and fight each other. | |
| Such craziness but you know when it comes down to all of it and this is one of the things that Saban Howard the sculptor that's going to be on later today that Kelsey and I were talking about but one of the things you know that he said it's not it's just about good leadership. | |
| People with good leadership you know hopefully we can avoid some of those things again in the future. | |
| That's what we need is strong leadership. | |
| We're gonna come back we'll talk about some of the things that people have been weighing in on the debate so we'll definitely talk about that. | |
| Also I wanted to just share with you some of the things I learned too about the border because that seemed to be a hot topic at the time of the debate and I just want to go over some facts and we'll do all of that. | |

| Anyway Gary is calling from Michigan. | |
| Hey Gary what's going on Hi Rose I just wanted to tell you that I totally agree with your introduction to the show today in regards to the founding fathers. | |
| My sixth great grandfather was Benjamin Franklin. | |
| Oh get out No, it it's fact um I am so convinced that him and all of the founding fathers would be So disgusted what is going on today in America. | |
| Um, for everything they gave us. | |
| We but I I just I I'm amazed, you know, that that all the laws that have been passed, unconstitutional laws, all this stuff. | |
| But here we are today with a person sitting in the Oval Office that is Well, Gary, and and let me, I'm gonna just say, because I don't have a lot of time here, but since you're a relative of Ben Franklin's, I think it's interesting that when that woman asked him what we have, is it a monarchy or a republic? | |
| And he answered so wisely, Gary, and I'm gonna let you go because I'm gonna take the other Gary, but so and God bless you, so wisely he answered a republic if you can keep it. | |
| He he knew. | |
| I I believe they knew that this was something quite unique. | |
| It was something quite remarkable, and it did last 248 years, by the way. | |
| But he understood, you know, it was something that we had to keep. | |
| If you can keep it, you can keep it. | |
| Not fate or anything else. | |
| Scary from New Hampshire. | |
| Oh, it's an honor to be on the show, Rose. | |
| And George Washington, our greatest president, and uh an unbelievable man, one of the men who's responsible for Western civilization, is a couple other guys, Charles Martell and Christopher Columbus. | |
| Yes. | |
| With inflation, right? | |
| Uh a lot of people aren't infected by it because they have what's called debit uh food stamp cards, and they just buy or credit cards. | |
| They're people are using their credit cards, Gary, like crazy. | |
| Right? | |
| Right. | |
| Those are the people who are working. | |
| They really are hurting right now. | |
| They are switch side of that. | |
| The flip side of it is people who get free food from the government. | |
| The food stamps they get they pay in the with a debit card in the in the supermarkets and all the different stores. | |
| Yes. | |
| And Gary, hold on one second. | |
| I would say, because we're running out of time, but I would suggest that you make a point here, but I would suggest that they are running even out of that. | |
| And I noticed that you're um you said you want to say how much will impact the election. | |
| Interestingly enough, as much as people are hurting and running out of paycheck before they do month, interestingly enough, Gary, they're saying that the border is their biggest concern. | |
| I thought that was interesting. | |
| I'm I'm guessing, and I'm sorry, Gary, I have to go, they're talking in my ear, but you're a doll. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Happy Fourth of July week. | |
| I am guessing that people feel like, hey, I'll I'll try to make it through this, I'll make some cutbacks. | |
| But the thing that I cannot control, I cannot control what's happening in the border. | |
| I cannot control the crime as a result and everything else that we're seeing as a result. | |
| I think that has a lot to do with it. | |
