| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| All right. | |
| Thank you, Scott Shannon. | |
| Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free. | |
| It's 800-941. | |
| Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, there are two stories that we are following involving the U.S. Senate. | |
| Um, the Senate current Senate majority leader, soon to be minority leader, Chuck Schumer, according to uh the New York Post, Mark Elias, longtime Democratic election attorney, is attempting to force the Pennsylvania Senate race into a recount, even though it was called for Dave McCormick, the Republican by the Associated Press on Thursday, and even the state's most liberal news outlets echoing the call as well. | |
| And when you look at the numbers, the math just isn't really there for them based on historic precedent. | |
| I know a lot about the state. | |
| I've talked to a lot of sources, and right now Dave McCormick is up by what, 39,000 votes, I believe. | |
| Uh there are about 90 some odd thousand provisionals. | |
| Historically, 25% of those will get tossed out. | |
| They're provisional, provisional for a reason. | |
| And, you know, even a best case scenario uh with the most favorable percentages and odds going towards the incumbent Bob Casey, the math is not going to be there. | |
| At least none not that I can see at all, nor will they get to the point where a state mandated recount would be uh warranted or necessary, uh, which would be 0.4%. | |
| Uh that would cause an automatic recount. | |
| Um, or 0.5%. | |
| Uh that's what is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | |
| That would you would need a margin of victory of less than that, and 99% of the ballots have already been counted. | |
| And so uh I don't think that's gonna happen. | |
| Alaya's warning in an ex post, uh, this Senate race is not over. | |
| Okay. | |
| So what does that have to do with Chuck Schumer? | |
| Well, he's teamed up with Elias, and anyway, he's not going to allow the Senator elect Dave McCormick, and this is unprecedented, by the way. | |
| This never happened before for somebody declared the winner. | |
| He's not going to allow Senate elect Dave McCormick to attend the Senate orientation, that is in the coming week, pointing out to outstanding ballots. | |
| Now, apparently people like Senator Mikeley of Utah and people like uh Senator Britt of Alabama are willing to bring Dave McCormick in and hopefully that'll be allowed to happen. | |
| We'll see we'll we're watching that. | |
| We'll see what happens with that. | |
| Uh the other big issue we're watching is on Wednesday. | |
| And Senate Republicans at about 9 30 on Wednesday, the same day that Donald Trump would will be going to visit the Oval Office and Joe Biden. | |
| Um anyway, they want to they will be choosing a majority leader. | |
| Senate Republicans expect, and I fully expect that they're gonna have at least 53 members in their conference, and and including Dave McCormick, he is expected to vote even though Casey is not conceded, and McCormick is not being admitted to the freshman orientation. | |
| Anyway, J.D. Vance can vote. | |
| Senators who are retiring may not vote. | |
| There are three major candidates, Senator uh Senate Minority Whip John Thune, former majority whip John Cornyn, and Florida Senator Rick Scott. | |
| Donald Trump, as of now, is not endorsed a candidate. | |
| Elon Musk has endorsed a candidate. | |
| He actually came out against John Thune, saying it would be the top choice for Democrats. | |
| Uh the concern of Republicans is that somebody's not been liked by uh well, somebody that just recently in a book, you know, just trashed Donald Trump is is has the name Mitch McConnell. | |
| And his two closest deputies, or two of the closest deputies have been John Thune and John Cornyn. | |
| I have nothing against either one of them, to be very, very clear on this. | |
| However, um, and Elon Musk saying Thune would be the top choice of Democrats. | |
| If all 53 prospective Republicans were expected to be senators next year vote, the magic number then would be 27. | |
| And it's but it's not the first past the post if the leading candidate scores twenty, another one were to get say nineteen and one other got fourteen, the one with the fewest votes would then be forced to drop out. | |
| Then the two candidates with the highest vote total would go to a second ballot. | |
| Now what I don't like about all of this is that conference votes for leadership are typically always conducted via a secret ballot. | |
| I would like that process to end. | |
| I'd like every single American to know how they vote. | |
| Why do they do it in secret? | |
| Why do they do it behind closed doors? | |
| Why did they do a you know a secret ballot? | |
| I don't like it. | |
| Uh the person that I am supporting is my Florida Senator here in the free state of of Florida, Rick Scott, because I think Rick Scott is is just not only immensely qualified, but he's a mover and shaker and I think would be the strongest support for President Trump's agenda. | |
| It's that simple. | |
| It's not out of friendship. | |
| It is out of who do I think would be the single best you know leader to advance this make America great again agenda and you have to assume you don't have four years. | |
| You have to assume you have to get this agenda and that includes borders, law and order, energy dominance, you know, uh a world of peace uh hopefully and you have to get it get this done very quickly the economy inflation under control quickly. | |
| Uh anyway, Senator Rick Scott from my free state of Florida. | |
| Senator great to have you back. | |
| Uh it is my pleasure to I I hope you win this I think that I don't like the fact that this is anonymous an anonymous vote. | |
| I don't like the fact that they're rushing this vote. | |
| I don't like what they're doing at Dave McCormick. | |
| I want your thoughts on all of it. | |
| Well this what happened is similar what happened to me. | |
| We won by 57,000 votes six years ago and we actually went through three recounts and so they didn't let me come to orientation because I was going through the recount which is a little bit different than when Dave's case but you weren't you weren't declared the winner if I remember correct? | |
| No we weren't in a yeah we were in a recount um so um so we could we you know they went through the numbers and we were in the you know there's a number you hit two in every state and so we were in the in the middle of a recount. | |
| So um but I you know Mark Elias came down he said if even though we were ahead by 5700 votes he said we're gonna win through the courts and that's what he's trying to do with uh Dave McCormick. | |
| Dave McCormick is a great is going to be a great senator uh he won the election fair and square um and I look forward to serving with him. | |
| Um but what we all have to understand is we have to win our elections and we have to prove we won our elections and the Democrats are going to try to use the legal system to try to beat us and so we've got to be prepared to do it. | |
| And I know Dave's prepared I talked to him about it and he's going to prevail here. | |
| So it's it's too bad what Mark Elias and Chuck Schumer are doing, but Dave McCormick will prevail and he'll be our 53rd Republican senator so I'm excited to see will he be allowed to go to freshman orientation or does Schumer make that decision that's his sole decision. | |
| My understanding is uh just like it well in my case I was not the declared winner but in my case uh I it's my Chuck Schumer's not going to allow to even go go through it. | |
| So I actually never really went through orientation uh when I came up here with a yeah I know with a couple people when I came up but never went really through it. | |
| So it's it's too bad. | |
| It's just it's it's me spirited by uh by Schumer and and Schumer's case but that's you know that's what Schumer's like so um so well let's talk about the race for majority leader of which you're a part of uh I've known you a long time and a lot of people don't know about your success in business and being a CEO and somebody that just know just knows how to get things done. | |
| And I understand that that these are lieutenants of Mitch McConnell I don't know if you saw the comments of Mitch McConnell quoted in a book recently but I thought they were atrocious. | |
| And it just bothers me that this is going to be an anonymous process why is it anonymous I don't think it should be um you know by the way happy veterans day to everybody um I I had the opportunity to serve in the Navy my dad was one of three thousand people that did the comp did all four competit jumps with A second airborne JD Vance is the first Marine and he was also enlisted first Marine uh vice president elect which is uh it's a great day. | |
| I mean the Veterans Day is always a wonderful day. | |
| So here's what's happening. | |
| This is Donald Trump has a mandate. | |
| Uh the public gave him a mandate so I'm running because I'm a business guy that can get things done and I completely on board with the Trump agenda. | |
| Now here's what I did. | |
| I'm the luckiest guy probably in the country I grew up in a country where my mom said even though we lived in public housing even though you don't even know who your dad is, uh, you could be anything. | |
| And so I believed it. | |
| So I built the largest hospital company. | |
| Um after I served in the Navy, I uh built a variety of manufacturing companies, and I lived the dream of the country. | |
| Um I don't want that dream to go away. | |
| And Donald Trump is fighting for that dream. | |
| So I know the way you get things done. | |
| The way you get things done is you do what Donald Trump is doing. | |
| You set an objective, you build a team, you have a plan with a timeline with the responsible parties, you measure yourself and you accomplish things. | |
| That's what we have to do in the Senate. | |
| If we're gonna get Trump nominees done, it's a process. | |
| If we're gonna get reconciliation done to get uh keep our taxes low, it's a process. | |
| We want to get Trump's bills done, it's a process. | |
| And so what we need to this is not a dictatorship job. | |
| This is a how do you get stuff done job? | |
| And that's my background, and that's why I'm running it. | |
| I want the Trump agenda accomplished. | |
| That's what the American public wants. | |
| All right. | |
| So the magic number is twenty-seven. | |
| I know you've been talking to a lot of your colleagues. | |
| I know many of your colleagues have called me about it. | |
| What what number do you think you're at as of today? | |
| Sean. | |
| I mean, most people right now are um I mean, I've got I've got a variety of people who have come out publicly supporting me. | |
| Marco has, Rand Paul has, Tubovell has, uh Haggerty has. | |
| Um Mike Lee has has Senator Cruz come out for you. | |
| Not yet. | |
| Um He might be feeling pressure because of the the Texas connection. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So but most people are not saying where they are. | |
| So, you know, I'm optimistic because I've talked to everybody, and what everybody wants is what I'm talking about. | |
| What do they want? | |
| They want to they want change. | |
| They want to be treated as equals. | |
| They want to have an agenda. | |
| They want to be part of a team. | |
| They know we have to work with the House. | |
| They know I have a great working relationship with Trump. | |
| They know I have a great working relationship with the leadership in the House, starting with Mike, uh, Jonathan, Tom Emmer, Steve Scalise. | |
| Uh, they know I'm a business guy. | |
| So actually I believe I'm gonna win. | |
| Um, but we won't know. | |
| And you know, it's it's a secret ballot. | |
| Uh they're rushing the boat. | |
| It's gonna be wedsty. | |
| We ought to you know to we ought to take more time to have a more conversation about this is a this should be a leadership job of what do we want to accomplish job. | |
| Um, but you know, it's it is what it is. | |
| So I'm I'm I'm very uh you know, Elon Musk has supported me, uh Robert Kennedy has supported me. | |
| A variety of people have come out and supported I'm very what about Sean Hannity's reporting, you know, that doesn't count. | |
| A bunch of your buddies have supported me. | |
| Uh I talked to uh uh I mean Tucker Carlson uh has supported me. | |
| There's you know, a lot of your friends uh are supporting me. | |
| So uh and I'm very appreciative um to be on your show, by the way, um, and your support. | |
| But you know, Sean, I want to tell you, I love I love what you do every day because you care. | |
| You care every day, you you're and you did you're not getting up because it's good for you or bad for you. | |
| You care because it's good for everybody. | |
| And that's why you do what you do every day. | |
| Uh I love our country and I want our country fixed. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I'll be honest, that that is now my my sole motivation. | |
| That is it for me. | |
| And I uh uh and this election scared me, and I'm so grateful to the American people for getting it right in spite of all the lying and and propaganda. | |
| Sean, think about what's happened. | |
| In Florida, all right, think about what's happened. | |
| My 14 years from running for governor in 2010, we went from 568,000 more Democrats and Republicans to more than a million more Republicans, and we won by 1.4 million votes, Donald Trump and I did. | |
| We won Miami Dade by 10 points. | |
| We won Osceola County, which is a Puerto Rican county by two. | |
| We won in every metropolitan area in the state, but two. | |
| So I mean, but we are the center for I think it's the center of the Republican Party of America, and so the country has changed. | |
| They want what Donald Trump sold. | |
| Uh they want what you talk about every day. | |
| They want the chance that everybody live the dream of this country. | |
| That's what you talk about every day. | |
| So, I mean, you you you've had an unbelievable impact on how people think about where where we're going as a country. | |
| So I just want to thank you for what you do. | |
| Uh I thank you for what you do, and and honestly, it this is so important. | |
| I think these two years are critical, and there is so much work to be done, and we're gonna have to we're gonna have to accomplish it quickly. | |
| And having the House and Senate will be helpful. | |
| Not having the biggest majorities means that everybody's got to pull in the same direction. | |
| Um, but I I just uh anyway, I really appreciate what uh what you you're putting yourself out there. | |
| I think you'd be a great majority leader. | |
| I don't have anything against your competitors. | |
| I just want the strongest voice that will fight the hardest, because Democrats fight hard. | |
| Uh I know Chuck Schumer well, and this he's unrelenting in terms of how he plays this game. | |
| And I think that, you know, we need to be strong back and fair. | |
| Unlike them, they're not fair. | |
| Uh anyway, uh Senator Rick Scott, great state, free state of Florida. | |
| Thank you, sir. | |
| Appreciate it. | |
| We're gonna be watching closely on Wednesday. | |
| If there's anything we can do to help, let us know. | |
| Thanks, Sean. | |
| Thanks for your support. | |
| Uh anyway, joining us now is my friend, my colleague on this Veterans Day. | |
| Uh, he himself has served this country as a hero, like every other veteran. | |
| And uh anyway, we welcome he's the co-host of Fox and Friends Weekends, uh Pete Hegseth is with us, sir. | |
| How are you? | |
| Doing well, Sean. | |
| How are you? | |
| Is there any news out there? | |
| It's been a very slow news couple of weeks here. | |
| There's been not not not much at all to talk about. | |
| Not uh just a minor leadership change, you know, nothing nothing too difficult. | |
| What do you think of the death of legacy media? | |
| And by that, if you look at everything that they have thrown at Donald Trump for the last nine years, and and everybody was using it. | |
| Big tech did it, the big the big three networks did it, all these liberal cable channels did it. | |
| Uh, every major newspaper in the country did it, and the American people, they have rejected them completely. | |
| Uh and as far as I'm concerned, their influence is over. | |
| It's finished, it's done. | |
| Am I wrong? | |
| And I think if they're being honest with themselves, Sean, they actually agree with you. | |
| You are not wrong. | |
| Uh they have done it to themselves. | |
| It was uh slow and steady denigration that was first based in bias. | |
| Uh we always talked about media bias, uh, and then there was you know preferences and they're putting their finger on the scale. | |
| It became outright propaganda and deception and lies. | |
| Uh and now it's all cloaked in a term of that you're well aware of the worst term you can uh that media ever uses, which is myth and disinformation, which is really just information and speech they don't like. | |
| They're they're censored they're they're for a censorship regime. | |
| And thankfully, because of talk radio, because of folks like you, because of Fox News, and now because of social media and podcasts, they can't censor everything, thanks to Elon Musk. | |
| And they've been exposed. | |
| The Emperor has no clothes, they've never been unbiased. | |
| People are smart enough to see through it. | |
| Uh and Donald Trump had the courage to call him out on it. | |
| You see, this has always been the case. | |
| But when he finally labeled them fake news and took them on and kept taking them on, despite the law fair, they roared back as the sort of Marxists uh in hiding that they were, and and then they just started, you know, censoring and lying, and everybody saw it. | |
| So if they couldn't do it this time, uh their influence is kaput, and that's a great thing for our republic. | |
| You know, it's it's amazing to watch the this I call the state-run media mob reaction to this. | |
| Let's go to MSDNC. | |
| Uh Joy Reed suggesting that Donald Trump will deport people uh in the U.S. illegally. | |
| If you're brown, you might not stick around. | |
| I mean, turning this into a race issue rather than a law and order issue. | |
| And I want to get your reaction to some of the other crazy things that have been said, but listen to this one first. | |
| There will be American citizens who will end up being deported because they're not going to do this with precision. | |
| They're going to do it with the meat acts approach. | |
| With the meat acts approach and also with denaturalization, meaning don't think because you have a green card and came through the right way. | |
| If you're brown, you may not stick around. | |
| I don't think they care whether you have a green card or not. | |
| They're pulling people out and taking people out of this country, whether they you like it or not. | |
| Or whether you voted for them or not. | |
| Surprise. | |
| But it's the same narrative that people that support Trump are garbage. | |
| It's the same narrative. | |
| They are racist, that they are fascist, that they are Nazis, etc. | |
| Uh staying on MSDNC. | |
| You have this guy, Eddie Glaude claiming protecting whiteness, fear of minority kids in TV commercials, propel Donald Trump to victory. | |
| You just can't be any more wrong in your analysis, but here it is. | |
| Whenever the incoherence of the country comes into full view, the tricky magic of falling into place, falling behind a notion of whiteness that can hold off all the problem. | |
| The reason why all hell is breaking loose economically, right? | |
| Is because big government is putting his thumb on the scale and redistributing uh redistribute uh resources from deserving people to undeserving people, right? | |
| So there's this sense, right that whiteness is under threat. | |
| The demographic shifts, the country isn't what all of these racially ambiguous children on Cheerio's commercials are confusing the hell out of me. | |
| The only problem is minorities in greater percentages and numbers than ever before voted for Donald Trump. | |
| Uh gotta give credit where credit is due. | |
| Bill Maher calling liberals brats and snobs and then sparring what John Hyleman uh over Kamala being more popular when she was well, I'll let you hear it. | |
| When Elon Musk hosted, and this is well before he was a Trumper. | |
| This is three or four years. | |
| He was just the richest man in the world. | |
| And a number of the cast members on Sunday Live, like they wouldn't they didn't want to deal with him. | |
| They didn't exactly boycott, but they made it plain. | |
| And I was thinking, really? | |
| You have Elon Musk on your show for a week. | |
| You could talk to one of the most interesting, brilliant people the world has ever produced. | |
| Even about this issue that bothers you so much that he's so rich and lots of people aren't. | |
| But no, you don't want to even deal with him. | |
| That's what I hate about the rest. | |
| You're gas. | |
| You're brass and you're snobs, and people aren't like that. | |
| There's never been anybody who's had the difficulty of that situation. | |
| Elevated that lady, Nick. | |
| I mean, why? | |
| We need to run away from the city. | |
| I know. | |
| You couldn't she was more popular in there. | |
| Yes, well. | |
| I mean, this idea that in the mass the idea of a mass media age that a hundred and seven days is not long enough to know somebody or I mean, great observation. | |
| What what is your take about how the left in this country is reacting? | |
| Because they certainly don't understand what happened on Tuesday. | |
| No, I mean they're reacting uh uh according to type, uh honestly. | |
| I mean, according to who they are. | |
| Um they're the actual racist because behind every corner they see the boogeyman of racism or sexism or patriarchy or or uh you know misogyny, you name it, you name it, that's the problem. | |
| And because that's that's the water they swim in, that's the air they breathe. | |
| It's it's it's the uh the lit the litigation mindset that they have. | |
| I I don't think they can undo it, Sean. | |
| I think there's plenty of ways they could reasonably step back and say, hey, the whole pronoun thing, the whole kids in you know, men in women's bathrooms, kids boys and girls' sports, all this maybe we back away from that they can't. | |
| It's the intellectual base of how they identify as siloed gender and racial groups. | |
| And what Donald Trump said was I don't care who you are, where you're from, rich or poor, black or white, you are an individual. | |
| And you know, effectively saying you're created in the image of God. | |
| You're one person, you have a vote for your life and for your family and for the things that interest you that that are important to you. | |
| Vote for me, because I think I'll do more of that than she would. | |
| And that worked. | |
| And they overcome the media as well. | |
| So I I think take even an issue like issue like women's and um boys in in girls' bathrooms. | |
| I don't think they can back away from that. | |
| So when Trump bans it, say transgenders in the military, which I think he will, they'll lose their mind, and they'll suddenly be even more pro-trans than they were before. | |
| And I think average people will say that doesn't comport with what's important in my life. | |
| I want I'm well what's gonna happen, I suspect with the appointment of Tom Holman. | |
| I mean, there are in this country known terrorists. | |
| We have we have over twelve and a half million people Harris and Biden have led into this country. | |
| We have cartel members, we have gang members. | |
| I have scrolled the names of dozens and dozens of Americans that have been murdered by Harris Biden, allegedly, illegal immigrants and raped and have been victims, hundreds and hundreds have been victims of violent crimes. | |
| All the cartel members, all the gang members, all the known terrorists that are here, known murderers that are here, but we don't know where they are. | |
| I've been predicting this country is likely gonna be a victim of a terror attack because of these open borders. | |
| I pray to God I'm wrong, but I don't think I'm gonna be proven wrong, Pete. | |
| I'm surprised you haven't been proven right yet, and I I pray you are proven wrong. | |
| I mean, the threat level is unlike what those that know know that it's unlike what anything you've ever seen before, and this moment in time is probably when we've been the most vulnerable. | |
| I think the guy with the toughest job in the country right now, besides Donald Trump, is gonna be Tom Holman, not because figuring out who to deport is hard. | |
| Everything you just laid out makes complete sense. | |
| We have the laws on the book. | |
| The left doesn't want these people gone, Trump does, he can find them and deport them. | |
| It's the out the outrage machine is gonna be twenty twenty on steroids beyond anything I think we can conceivably fathom. | |
| Uh and Tom Holman's gonna have to have a stiff spine and do what he's always done, stare him down and say we're following the law. | |
| Your hyperbole doesn't matter here. | |
| Uh and it that's gonna be a great indication of uh of how much the left even remotely recognizes that there's been a mandate for some change here starting at the southern border, starting with criminals. | |
| It makes too much, and then and then with terrorists with with known foreigners who wish to do us ill, let's find them and figure it out. | |
| Uh Tom Holman Trump want to do that, and that makes sense. | |
| That's why they voted for him. | |
| Hey, by the way, um, so you have played a big part in the success of of the Fox uh Nation, what we call the Patriot Awards. | |
| We have the sixth annual Patriot Awards and tickets, by the way, are on sale if people want to go. | |
| It's gonna be at the Tilla Center at Long Island University, not far from where I used to live when I did live in New York. | |
| You might have heard I I moved, you know, Pete. | |
| Yeah, um, I I don't think I said it enough. | |
| And anyway, but I will be there for that day because it's such a special event. | |
| What do you tell people about? | |
| Sean, you've always you've been a part of it from the beginning as well. | |
| Uh it's because you're a patriot, you love the country, and you want to honor those who never sought the recommendation at the the spotlight, they never saw it being recognized, but that's what the Patriot Awards is all about. | |
| So I I wanted to talk to your audience, the most patriotic audience in America, and encourage them to come out and join us on December 5th. | |
| I mean, it was already gonna be a party. | |
| Now with what happened on November 5th, it's gonna be a huge gathering of Patriots fired up to be reminded yet again why America is the greatest country on earth. | |
| It's because of everyday people who do unsung things that are beautiful, uh based on faith, based on family, based on the flag. | |
| So December 5th, Fox Nation Patriot Award, the Tilla Center at Long Island University, just outside of New York, New York, easy flight to LaGuardia or JFK. | |
| Uh tickets are still available. | |
| Not many, but there are there are some. | |
| Foxnation.com slash patriot awards, FoxNation.com slash patriot. | |
| Come meet Sean Hannity and hang out with us uh at a well there's a reason for most people not to stay away. | |
| I really appreciate that. | |
| Uh but uh look, Pete, you've been uh working hard. | |
| Uh you're a dear friend. | |
| I love everything you do. | |
| And uh on this Veterans Day, it's great to have you on. | |
| You're a true American uh hero, patriot. | |
| God bless you. | |
| God bless all the veterans on this day. | |
| Likewise, Sean. | |
| God bless the vets. | |
| Thank you. | |
| 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| Uh speaking of helping heroes, that's what the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is all about, and they support America's greatest heroes. | |
| Uh U.S. service members, first responders who die or are catastrophically injured in the line of duty. | |
| The foundation also helps homeless vets. | |
| They help Gold Star families, the fallen first responder families. | |
| They offer smart homes and homeless veterans programs. | |
| In other words, they honor the sacrifices made for us by the men and women who risked their lives, their bodies for our country and our communities. | |
| Now they have their never forget programs and they engage in 9-11 remembrances all around the countries. | |
| They have over 80 runs around the country, walks, climbs, dozens and dozens of golf outings every year. | |
| They have the 9-11 Institute to help kids, you know, educate them from K through 12 about America's darkest day, so we never forget. | |
| But the only way this amazing work continues is through your generosity, and we hope you'll join us here at Team Hannity and commit to 11 dollars a month so we can continue to pay back all their sacrifice for us. | |
| Go to their website. | |
| 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. | |
| 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. | |
| All right, let's get to our busy phones on this Monday. | |
| Tom is in Vegas, K Dawn Radio. | |
| Tom, how are you? | |
| Glad you called, sir. | |
| Sir, uh a big fan. | |
| Big fan, but a bigger shout out's got to go to all you people at Fox for getting us out of this terrible trap we were about to fall into. | |
| You guys saved our country. | |
| Okay. | |
| You guys, the whole staff, Ted Cruz, the whole crew, everybody. | |
| That's Steph. | |
| Can I add to it and be and you're very kind, you're very generous, and you're you know, uh I view it this way. | |
| And tell me if I'm wrong. | |
| Are we all really just spokes in a wheel? | |
| And in other words, for a wheel to really work efficiently, you needed every spoke to do its part. | |
| And okay, so for some people that was that was voting early. | |
| For some people it was voting and inconveniently taking part of their day to go vote on election day. | |
| And for other people, it was donating money. | |
| And for other people, it was you know becoming poll watchers. | |
| For other people, it was donating their time if they were attorneys. | |
| Everybody did their part. | |
| And I'm just looking at it as a team effort, including you yourself. | |
| If you guys weren't the voice, we would be in the dark ages for a long time. | |
| You guys saved our country by speaking up. | |
| No one else would have been motivated to do it. | |
| I mean, you know, that that whole other side is they can't tell the truth. | |
| They told the they didn't tell the truth about Russia. | |
| They didn't tell the truth about the laptop, they didn't tell the truth about Joe's mental state, the border. | |
| We can go on and on. | |
| That's all the Democrats do is lie. | |
| You guys brought it all to light. | |
| And I'm telling you, you guys are patriotic and I love it. | |
| And well, I gotta give credit to one other group of people. | |
| I have the best staff on radio, the best staff on TV, and we work hard to get you news and information. | |
| We know that the state-run media mob will never give you. | |
| And I and we and and then all of you that listen, I mean, if you don't listen, if you don't watch the show, my TV show, I don't have a show. | |
| So we just try to do it differently. | |
| And I think that they have abandoned and there is no more trust in state-run media. | |
| It is over for them. | |
| Legacy media is dead. | |
| And the only reason we will stay successful is if we stay true to as long as we have fidelity to the truth, and we fight for the things that matter to to the people that actually make the country great, and that's people like you. | |
| Hey, uh big big shout out to you guys. | |
| I'm telling you. | |
| Let me ask you this. | |
| Where's the where's Tom Broke off? | |
| Where are all these people that used to be journalists that were like the godfathers of journalism, and they stayed quiet for the last eight years? | |
| Why didn't they step up and say, this is wrong? | |
| This ain't right. | |
| Calling people racist and names, that ain't right. | |
| That's not America. | |
| Uh their voices are deafening. | |
| You know, Peter Jennings, I knew him years ago, got along great with him. | |
| Tim Russett, I knew got along great with him. | |
| I got along with Tom Brokow too, to be very very honest. | |
| Um he's older now, maybe not as involved. | |
| I'll cut him some slack. | |
| Dan Rather is still the radical leftist he's always been. | |
| But I don't really care. | |
| Julia Roberts' voice is meaningless. | |
| George Clooney, the jackass he is, had no impact. | |
| And they tried their hardest to lie to the American people. | |
| Wow, he got paid a lot. | |
| Apparently got paid money to do that event for Kamala. | |
| Pretty sickening to me. | |
| I gotta run. | |
| God bless you and everyone in this audience, everyone on my team, all hands on deck. | |
| We pulled it off, and the country thankfully can get on the right track. | |
| That's what's important to me. | |
| We'll continue. | |
| Have you ever thought about what charities and causes, the brands that you give your hard-earned money to support? | |
| Well, Pure Talk, my cell phone company supports veterans. | |
| Now, this is a veteran-led company. | |
| It is their passion project, and that's why Pure Talk has alleviated 10 million dollars in veterans' debt. | |
| And that's why they donate tens of thousands of dollars every month to help prevent veteran suicide. | |
| It's also why they just donated $50,000 to Micro Works, providing scholarships to veterans learning the trades after their active duty. | |
| You get the exact same service at about half the cost, the same 5G network, the same cell towers, and you're also helping veterans. | |
| It's win-win-win. | |
| Just dial pound two fifty, say the key words save now. | |
| The switch is simple, it is fast, it is easy. | |
| And by the way, they hire Americans right here in America to handle the jobs to serve you. | |
| Pound two fifty, key words, save now from our friends of Pure Talk, America's Wireless Company. |
