Time Text

High little jail on her.

All right, thank you, Scott Shannon.
Thanks to all of you for being with us right down our toll-free telephone number.
If you want to be a part of the program, it's 800-941 Sean.
If you'd like to join us, it is much better to do a radio program after having even a little bit of sleep.
Because yesterday I had none.
And it was it was a little tougher than usual, but there's no way I'm not being on the air after this historic of victory by Donald Trump.
And uh thank you.
If I was not on my A game yesterday, I fully apologize.
Linda was a bad well, wasn't myself, hadn't slept at all.
I told you I didn't.
You were a broadcaster.
You were a victorious broadcaster.
Victorious broadcasters.
You know, some people said to me, Well, why don't you spike the football?
Go spike the football.
I don't know, because I'm just I always have to be truthful and genuine and honest with my audience in the sense that if I spike the football, that wasn't how I was feeling.
I'm feeling a little more spike the football today, though, only because the left is melting down as predictably so and losing their collective minds, and and we'll try to put their hearts at rest a little.
But I think the problem is is they believe their own phony false caricature, all their lies and conspiracy theories, and and they just repeated it so often they almost indoctrinated themselves into believing things that are completely and utterly false that are not gonna happen.
Um this was an interesting tweet by Don Jr.
It took about 12 hours after my father's election uh win for Hamas to call for peace, and he and he and he X'd out a uh newsweek headline that says uh Hamas calls for immediate end to war after Trump election.
Yeah.
Interesting timing.
I will say that.
There was a story out also that after President Trump's election, the Iranians are now prepared to have to contend with the guy they've been trying to assassinate.
According to reports, we have assassination squads in the country.
Um we do have to be vigilant.
We know we have known terrorists in this country, known, but we don't know where they are.
And of course, we still have all the unvetted Harris Biden illegal immigrants, and we know many of them are murderers.
We've had dozens of Americans murdered and raped, and you know, hundreds of Americans victims of violent, violent crimes.
Never mind the cost associated with all this, and that's all gonna be have to be dealt with, and and watch the left.
Look what he's doing.
He's putting these people.
Ask yourself a question.
The left that uh law and order, Donald Trump, law and order.
They're all law and order people.
Now, if you don't come into the country legally, you break the law.
That's all there is to it.
It's simple, it's basic.
You don't respect our laws, our borders, our sovereignty.
Now, when you break the law, usually there are consequences if you break the law.
Maybe you pay a fine, maybe maybe maybe you get tried, maybe you get sent to jail, maybe you get put in the pokey as they say.
And but there are consequences.
And should there not be consequences for people that didn't follow our laws, respect our sovereignty and our borders.
Now I think there are ways that you can very compassionately tell people if you want to come back to the country, you can do so and you can apply legally, but maybe you have a year, two-year period of time where they're not gonna be allowed to do so.
You don't you just have to say, now we're gonna send you back to the country of your choice.
I would actually come up with an idea.
This is totally my idea.
I've never asked President Trump about it.
For all the people that entered this country illegally, give them a window, a period of time to self-deport, and if if they do so, offer them free transportation, maybe put a thousand dollars, two thousand, I don't know,
whatever, in their pocket, which by the way, is like uh a New York City hotel room for a night or two, uh, a lot cheaper in the long run, and just you know, say, okay, if you want to come back to the country legally one day, you can do so, but you have to go through the process, and here's how here's what the process is.
But you are penalized, you won't be able to apply for a year, two years, whatever it happens to be, uh, because we are a nation of laws and and we expect you to respect our laws.
It should be a prerequisite for anybody that wants to come into the country.
Uh, before we get to the left's meltdown, and it's it's getting more severe by the hour, and predictably so I I've been going forward with this theme, we'll go into more detail later when we have Joh Joe Concha and and Carol Roth on the program, is when I said journalism is dead in 2007, I was more right than I knew that I was at the time.
And now I am saying that legacy media in America is dead.
It is dead, it is gone, it is buried, it is finished.
In many we ways, and I I thank all of you for this, and I want to also again tell you how appreciative I am to all of you.
I am extraordinarily proud of the American people that they did not fall for legacy media, that they did not buy the hyperbole, the lies, the propaganda, the distortions, the the false caricature that they've created of Donald Trump.
They knew it was out there, but they they are now rejecting the American people in this election rejected all of those lies.
They rejected all of the lawfare.
They rejected all of the Nazi fascists, we're garbage, we're racist, sexist, homophobic.
The whole list that I told you in January that they would throw it at you.
I didn't I didn't think it was get as bad as it got, but it got worse than it's ever gotten.
They heard it all and they rejected it all.
And this was the these were the lies, the people, you know, that were pushing Russia, Russia, these are the people that were were literally the an extension of the press office of of all things Kamala Harris and Tim Walls, and the American people heard it all.
I'm sure they heard it, but they didn't pay attention to it.
That's that is why I can officially declare the death of legacy media.
Now, I kind of was lucky in terms of timing in my life and my career, lucky because all of you let me have this microphone three hours a day and and a camera in front of me one hour every night on Fox News.
But I was I was lucky in the t in terms of um I wouldn't say lucky, I'm uh I would use the term blessed.
I feel blessed in the timing that God gave me in my life, because when I got into talk radio, it was really in its infancy stages, just about to explode.
My first time on the radio was 1987.
Remember, Rush syndicated in 1988, and I remember hearing about Rush while I was at a college radio station and and just doing a one-hour a week program, and a friend said, You gotta listen to this guy, he's unbelievable.
And he was.
And and God how much we miss Rush, right?
And I was not wrong when I said nobody could ever replace him.
I was not wrong to say that he would want us all to double down and do our best.
And and collectively, I would say, you know, I he's looking down from heaven with a smile on his face, I hope.
Uh it is uh it would it would it would have been what he wanted.
He would have understood this election as well, if not better than everybody, and how this is an inflection point for the country, and there's so much at stake here, and that's why I was trying to convey all of this urgency to all of you and say, please assume that your vote is the deciding vote.
There was a reason for all of that.
But this other evidence, so I I was on the kind of on the ground floor.
Maybe there were a couple of hundred talk radio stations or or news talk radio stations in the country around that time.
Now I think it's well over five thousand.
I mean, that that explosion in this format, and it has remained the number one format in radio all of these years is unbelievable.
If anyone would have told me when I started in Huntsville, Alabama with my first professional job making $19,000 a year, and I was talking to the owner during election day, like I do every year, the owner of the station that I'd worked for back in the time.
He's since sold it, but he's a good guy.
Bill Dunovan is his name.
And I was uh we were talking about the election.
He was asking what I thought would happen, et cetera, like a lot of my friends were.
And anyway, and to think that, you know, here we are with thousands of stations.
I was on the ground floor of a transformation of media, and I'm grateful to all of you for that.
And the reason that talk radio exploded is because it was the beginning of the end for legacy media.
If I know people hate the term canary in the coal mine, that was the canary in the coal mine.
And then it expanded.
And in 1996, after I was in Huntsville, I went to Atlanta.
I still talked to my former boss there, Eric Slugos Seidel, and we were talking on election day too, and I stayed in touch with all of my bosses over the years.
Isn't that amazing, Linda?
They still like me.
I can't believe it.
He's a great guy.
Oh, sluggish the trip.
He is he he's he went on, he went to Singapore and Vietnam.
He likes to go cruising, which I think is like the worst vacation in the world.
But he loves it.
Absolutely loves it.
And he goes, I gained the only bad thing is I gained 20 pounds that I lost before the cruise.
I'm like, no kidding.
Um, because they give you all those free food, all you can drink.
I mean, it's crazy.
But people love it.
And he went to all these really magnificent places.
Anyway, so I'm talking to him.
But it was people started to make choices.
And then I left Atlanta.
I I love the people of Georgia.
I love the people in Alabama, and I left and I was hired by Fox News.
Fox News was not on the air yet.
And what I didn't know at the time, and what I now know after I've now begun my 29th year on the Fox News channel in prime time, which now makes me the longest running primetime cable news host in the history of cable news.
If you watch Fox in its first week and you saw me on the air, I promise you, it would have been the worst bet of your life to say that I'd still be there going into my you know 29th year in a row.
And I feel very blessed because you've made that happen.
But what I didn't know, and I know now, and this election proves is that legacy media is dead.
Because all of a sudden, that little Fox News channel that there were people making fun of in the very beginning, and it was a TV critic that wrote, Alan Combs looks funerial, and Sean Hannity has a bad haircut and has no business being on television.
And I was so bad he wasn't wrong.
And I've actually been interviewed by the person since, nice guy, and and we joke about it all the time.
But what am I trying to say here is that the entire media landscape has shifted.
Legacy media is dead.
The ratings are in for election night.
Fox News channel was the by far the most watched network in the country.
There was a there was a time early on in my cable years, the thought that Fox News would beat all of the broadcast channels would have been laughable.
There was there was no belief, and then all of a sudden we started creeping up.
People started making choices because we can't force you to watch TV.
I can't force you to watch TV and watch my show every night.
I can ask you to watch and put on the best show I can.
I can ask you to listen three hours a day, but I can't force you to listen three hours a day.
But when Fox News more than doubles ABC and more than doubles MBC, and more than doubles MSDNC, and more than doubles fake news CNN, and triples you know, fake news CBS.
And when you see the New York Times with no influence, and you see uh the Washington Post with no influence and the LA Times with no influence and USA Today with no influence, then you add to that the explosion of technology and social media access and how people can be their own reporters, and And then you can add another dimension to that, and that would be podcasting and people's ability to produce their own content.
And what you have are more options, more choices, more selections.
Because all of that legacy media combined between newspapers, broadcast networks, liberal cable networks, all of them combined, have been telling you for nearly 10 years Donald Trump is evil.
And and and what it what's how did that work out for them?
It worked out that nobody in America anymore trusts them or listens to them, and their influence is dead.
And they destroyed themselves by pushing an agenda and claiming to be something that they are not.
They claim to be journalists.
They're not.
They're talk show hosts like me.
I think there are even plenty of liberal people that tell me all the time, but watch a show, listen to your show.
Don't agree with the thing you say, but at least you're you're honest about who you are.
A lot of people tell me that.
And I'm not hiding the fact that I'm a conservative.
I'd never hid the fact that I'm voting for Donald Trump.
And to see that everything that they have done to this man, every attempt to destroy this man, to see the deep state involvement and lawfare and the weaponization of justice and handcuffing and and fingerprinting and mugshots and trials and false valuations of Marilago and the list goes on and on in Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, and all these conspiracy theories and lies.
And he ends up winning the popular vote.
And he ends up with 312 electoral votes, it looks like I think it's gonna be worth maybe going through some of the reaction.
I mean, of the radical left in this country.
I I don't know what I need to do to assure them that Donald Trump's focus is is going to be what he said it was going to be, which is securing the border and getting our economy moving again, energy dominance, law and order, so we can be safe and secure and pursue happiness and a stronger America on the world stage.
Interesting.
Oh, all of a sudden, Hamas wants peace and the Iranians are scared to death.
Is it a bad thing the Iranians are scared to death, or is it a good thing the Iranians are scared to death?
I would say it's a good thing the Iranians are scared to death.
All right, we'll play some of that when we get back, and uh we'll get to your calls, 800-941 Sean today.
So we were talking about the the death of legacy media.
We'll get into more of that at the top of the hour.
Um, and we'll explain why, because people are making choices, and the choices that they're making, they they've never had more choices.
I mean, in that sense, uh I'm I might have been basically in the infancy stages of this death of legacy media, being on talk radio and being also on the Fox News channel, and and now there are other platforms.
Now you have big tech.
I mean, now everybody can be their own talk show host.
I said this many years ago in an interview.
I said, pretty soon, one day, everybody in America is gonna be a talk show host, they're gonna have their own show.
But between podcasting and your ability to communicate with friends and neighbors and strangers on any social media platform that you want, it's become extraordinarily powerful.
We had David Portnoy, I just like David Portnoy, he's so funny.
Um, and he he was on from Barstals, he was on uh last night, and he he has a rescue dog named Miss Peaches, and he's like this big he's an alpha male guy, and he's a tough guy.
He's like, you know, I'm not putting up with your your BS.
He's not that political, he's not as political as I am.
And he made it he made a post how you gave us no choice but to vote for Trump.
And he went into this, you know, long, thoughtful, smart rant, and then you got this other side of David Portnoy.
He's been able to raise, you know, well over a million dollars because he adopted a dog.
Now he has two dogs, and he likes rescue dogs like Linda.
And, you know, this tough guy, all of a sudden you you see him, Miss Peaches.
Oh, little Miss Peaches, how are you, sweetheart?
And he rescued the dog.
You've seen the videos, right, Linda?
Oh man, he loves those animals.
Forget about it.
Oh my god, I listen, in fairness to you, you do love your animals.
You just don't love them sometimes a little too much.
Although I think my dog is cheating on me with my husband.
He's I think my husband might do his new favorite.
I don't like it, but I think that's happening.
Cheating on you with your husband because I like your husband.
You want your dog, do you want your dog not to like your husband?
No, I just want him to like me more.
That's all.
And you think that Anthony, the dog is liking Anthony more than you.
Oh, for sure.
For sure.
They're bonding.
It's ridiculous.
Does Anthony do more with the dog?
Does he play with the dog more?
Does Anthony bought the dog?
I think he just is like, that's my man.
I think it's some bromance stuff going on.
I'm not sure.
But anyways, back to Portnoy.
I don't know.
So he does so the side of him comes out, and it's just very cool, actually, to watch.
It is the funniest thing in the world.
Like Miss Peaches doesn't like to walk on a leash, so he puts Miss Peaches, the dog in the baby carriage and pushes Miss Peaches around.
You can't make it up.
It's hilarious.
We need some levity right now.
You do.
And Democrats, they're not, there's not much levity there.
Poor Claire McCaskill.
I did meet her at one of the debates, and I met her.
I made a comment to her as I was saying.
I said, I know who you are.
And she goes, Oh, I know who you are.
I said, You'd really like me if you knew me.
He goes, I'm not sure about that.
I was just, you know, being me, like always kind of that tongue in cheek being a little bit of a wise ass to liberals.
Um he was sobbing on MSD and C. And I'm like, okay.
Linda, have there been post-election periods where we have not been exactly happy at the results anytime, any place.
You ever see me crying?
Ever see me rolled up at a ball?
Jimmy Kimmel fighting back tears, discussing Trump's election win.
You know, could you imagine Jay Leto, Johnny Carson, even David Letterman, who became very political later in his career.
Did you ever imagine?
Well, David Letterman did post 9-11.
I mean, that's his home city.
And it was a that was a rough time.
I actually, you know, can see that.
With the exception of Greg Gutfeld, who's having a blast.
You know, it is clear these late-night hosts see themselves as political propagandists.
I mean, you know, Stephen Colbert, the most serious open ever.
I know I'm supposed to be happy, but I'm so sad.
I mean, come on.
How are you doing?
If you watch the show regularly, I'm guessing you're not doing great.
Yeah, me neither.
You know, uh today, uh, some people said to me, All right, I stop.
I don't even I don't want to even promote this guy.
Nobody's watching him, nobody's watching Kimmel, nobody's watching Fallon.
They're down to four days a week, and they're going out fast.
The only two guys that are still funny are Jon Stewart and Bill Maher.
And both of them politically hate me.
So, but they're funny because they're more honest than than the rest of them.
When when Jon Stewart said, you know, I don't know, maybe I'm a little crazy, but that guy at Madison Square Garden, I I like I like comics that go over the line.
Uh well, I happen to be one of those people too.
You ever watch Dave Chappelle?
He's smart as hell and he's funny.
Chris Rock, he rocks.
He is funny.
Or any of these other, you know, comics that cross lines.
If you are listening to a uh a comedian, you I I want them to be free to be happy and to go after anybody.
I don't understand it.
Well, play it poor James Carvel.
Carl, I kind of understand a little bit more, but he did work for Clinton.
He says he's in a dark tunnel of depression.
Um he said in the course of the campaign at one point he does gummies.
I think he might need a few more gummies.
You know what?
Um, one little side note before I get into the left and their their meltdown and also why it is legacy media is dying because of it.
Joe Scarborough, and I could play a lot of the stuff that he's been saying.
He seemed relatively restrained considering I think probably how he feels, but based on the lead up to the election and the things that he said and with Mika.
Liberal Joe was on.
So apparently Mika tells him the price of butter that it's seven dollars.
And apparently he didn't know that.
Listen.
Three weeks ago, uh, somebody who was going to be voting uh for Kamala Harris uh came up to me and said, Oh my God, Trump's gonna win.
I go, why is that?
He goes, I just I went to the grocery store, butter's over three dollars.
I kind of laughed, and I said, I said, Well, that's kind of reductive, isn't it?
Said it to myself to him.
I smiled and I said, good point.
Um, but it actually everything we're hearing after the election is.
I'm just the seven.
What's that?
The seven dollars.
What's that?
Butter is seven dollars.
Yeah.
What?
Is it framed in gold?
Yeah, we're kind of butter.
It depends on where you go.
Thanks, Ben.
Uh I mean, has anyone looked at I mean, we we have put up on the screen, we have mentioned on this radio program on TV on the screen.
We have shown it every night.
The cost of everything has gone up 30% on average for everything.
Every item you bought by on average, every store you go to.
The things that I happen to eat because I'm keto friendly and and paleo, forget it.
It's true, it's absolutely through the roof.
Um Rachel Maddow warning the Trump administration will start picking off journalists, news organizations, turn them uh into the American version of RT.
That's that that's some network, right?
I don't even, I don't I don't watch other networks.
I really rush it today, I guess.
All right, here's what she said.
The free press needs to give the people of this country assurances that they will not become state TV, that they will stand and fight together.
They will put aside rivalries and petty professional differences.
They will stand and fight together as the free press, as the fourth estate, as an institution that is a pillar of our democracy, as these guys on the other side inevitably start picking off individual journalists, individual publishers, individual news organizations to try ultimately to turn us all into some American accented version of RT.
The number one the number one conspiracy theorist in the country who peddled more lies about Donald Trump for three plus years on Russia, Russia, Russia.
He wants the right to continue to lie.
She's gonna have the right to continue to lie.
Donald Trump is not gonna say, uh, Rachel Mado is going to be taken off the air.
It's not going to happen.
It's not gonna happen in any way, shape, manner, or form.
And as we listen to the left and their reaction and their meltdown, well, there's a couple of things going on.
There's a lot of anger, and we played a montage of this yesterday of people claiming, and I'll play it later in the show, of people uh in the media claiming this is about racism.
This is about sexism, racism, sexism.
As a matter of fact, well, let's play that montage now because it's worth playing it a couple of times.
Democrats need to be mature, and they need to be honest.
And they need to say, yes, there is misogyny.
But it's not just misogyny for white men.
It's misogyny from Hispanic men.
Right.
It's misogyny from black men.
Things we've all been talking about, who do not want a woman leading them.
Black voters came through for Kamala Harris.
White women voters did not.
Um that is what it appears happened in that state.
This will be the second opportunity that white women in this country have to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy.
She is a person of color.
She is a she, and she is in an interracial marriage.
And I wonder, I have this question mark in my mind over whether all of those things combined was too much for pockets of this country.
Let's be honest about this.
Okay, let's be absolutely blunt about it.
Uh, there were appeals to racism in this campaign, and there is racial bias in this country, and there is sexism in this country.
And anybody who thinks that that did not in any way impact on the outcome of this race is wrong.
Anyone that believes that is wrong, that's David Axelrod making that last comment.
That was started by his former boss Barack Obama, lecturing, quote, the brothers, as he left his Mathis Vineyard mansion and and and lectured African American men about being misogynistic and sex sexist, followed by Stacey Abrams saying there's racism and sexism of African American males.
And meanwhile, demographically, Donald Trump doubled his percentage of the African American vote, went up over 15 points with Hispanic Americans, according to the last poll I saw.
Um then you've got Sonny Houston says that this election was lost because of cultural resentment.
Listen.
I'm surprised at the results, but I'm not surprised.
As a woman of color, I was so hopeful that a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish guy could be elected president of this country.
And um, I think that it had nothing to do with policy.
I think this was a referendum of um cultural resentment in this country.
Wow.
And she blames uneducated white women and Latino men for Kamala's loss.
Let's let's go after everybody for not agreeing with them.
I want to dig further into the demographics because uh black women tried to save this country again last night.
92% of black women voted for uh the vice president.
You have Latinas in the 70 percentile voting for the vice president.
What we did not have is white women who voted about 52 percent, right?
Uh for Donald Trump, uneducated white women is my understanding.
You have Latino men actually voting more for him, and you have um and black men was not the story, we're not the story here because they voted almost 80% for the vice president.
Right.
If you're saying that identity politics is the reason why people didn't vote for somebody, but people of a same race or identity, whatever or demographic did vote for somebody, did they vote for that person just because of that reason?
Does the logic go both ways?
Not that I believe any of it.
And then she went on to claim, and I'll play this later, that her daughter now has less rights and is disturbed.
The 14th Amendment wasn't used to keep Trump from running.
Unbelievable times.
It it is predictable.
It probably will get worse, and I hope it doesn't for the sake of the country.
But here's what they're missing.
They're missing a very big part of the equation.
Americans have had it.
They've had it with uh uh uh runaway inflation.
They've had it.
Paying a buck fifty more a gallon.
They have had it with the radicalism of white open borders and decriminalization of illegals and and all the benefits food, housing, health care, education, sex change operations, free college, and amnesty.
They have had it with defund, dismantled no bail laws and rising crime.
They have had it with unvetted illegals that have committed murder, rape, and other violent crimes and the cartels and the drugs, and they've had it with the gang members.
They've had it.
The American people have had had it with what has been done and not been accomplished by this administration by their failures.
They don't like the ideas that they have put forth, and they couldn't run on what they have done that has been successful to make the lives of the American people better and the world a safer place.
And this is now what we're left with.
However, the American people were peddled this crap day in, day out, hour in, hour out.
Every newspaper, broadcast network, and liberal cable channel, and they didn't care because they're voting in their own best interest, as they should.
By the way, Stephen A. Smith really went hard on Oprah.
You know what they forget to the leftists.
You know, when Bill Maher was taken off the air, when they went after Stephen A. Smith, when they went after Joy Reed, do you know the person that stood up for them?
There were conservatives like me, Rush, Mark.
People have short memories.
