Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right.
Thanks, Scott Shannon.
And thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll free telephone number.
If you want to be a part of the program, it is 800 941.
Sean, if you'd like to join us and be a part of this extravaganza.
And we got a lot coming up in the course of the program today.
I'm a little little annoyed, not a little, a lot annoyed.
Why, why, two things are happening.
One is Democrats are now mounting a full court press in Pennsylvania.
It's Dave McCormick has already been declared the winner out there, and he's up by 39,000 votes.
I know there's some provisional ballots out there, about 97,000 of them.
lot but usually about 25 percent of those will be passed out passed away and they won't make it I've gone over the math with everybody that knows numbers in Pennsylvania and they're telling me that it is pretty much mathematically impossible for Dave McCormick to lose this race at all again he's been declared the winner it's unprecedented it's
There's no precedent of what Chuck Schumer is doing, because he's now teamed up with Dermot Democratic, according to Fox News, uh Fox News.com, uh, with you know, longtime or the New York Post actually reported this that Mark Elliott Elias rather,
longtime Democratic election attorney is attempting to force the Pennsylvania Senate race into a recount, even though it was called for McCormick by the AP on Thursday, with even the state's most liberal news outlets echoing all of it ever since.
And despite the race being called, Bob Casey has refused to concede the race, blasting out fundraising emails, urging supporters to pony up and make sure every last vote in the Pennsylvania Senate race is counted.
Uh now in the Commonwealth, the state requires an automatic recount if the margin of victory is less than 0.5%, and with 99% of the balance ballots counted, uh, at the time of this writing, it was 40,000 forty-one thousand vote lead.
Now it's a little over 39, nearly 40,000.
And it's like it just is not gonna happen.
You know, and Elias is saying this election is not over, and said in a statement that the Pennsylvania Secretary of State's office says there are at least a hundred thousand ballots left to be adjudicated.
No, it is now less than that as ballots are coming in.
Uh, but Chuck Schumer has teamed up, you know, with with Team Casey.
And Schumer is not allowing the Senator elect uh Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania to attend Senate orientation in the coming week, pointing to outstanding ballots in the state, even though the race has already been called.
And with over a hundred thousand ballots left to be counted.
I mean, it's it's just it's just mathematically not going to be possible.
So you have ninety-nine plus percent of the votes counted.
You have even local liberal outlets and the AP have declared McCormick the winner winner.
And anyway, the the it just is pretty unbelievable here.
Um Mike Lee has offered to personally escort Dave McCormick into the Capitol for orientation.
A gesture that Senator Katie Britt said that she would support him on.
Uh on other issues, the Senate Republicans are gonna huddle on Wednesday.
Donald Trump will be at the White House with Joe Biden on Wednesday to choose a majority leaders.
Senate Republicans expect to have the 53 members in their conference next year.
This is a very big deal.
Uh, I wish we would have been able to pull out and hopefully maybe I don't know if these races have been called yet in Nevada or in Arizona, but they were very close races in both state uh both states.
Anyway, so that we expect at this point to have 53 members in the conference next year, and Dave McCormick is expected to vote, even though Casey is not conceded.
Uh J.D. Vance can vote.
Senators who are retire retiring may not vote.
And there are three candidates, and that Senator Minority Whip John Thune, former Senate minor majority whip John uh Corny and uh Florida Senator Rick Scott.
Uh Donald Trump is not endorsed the candidate.
Elon Musk says that Thune would be the top choice for Democrats.
He's endorsing Rick Scott.
Uh I'm sorry, but I'm I'm favorable to my state Senator Rick Scott by a long shot.
Uh if all and he'll join us later in the program today, if all fifty-three prospective Republicans are expected to be senators next year vote, the magic number would be twenty-seven.
It's not, you know, it's not first past the the post.
If the leading candidate scores twenty, then one nineteen and the last one fourteen, the one with the fewest votes will then drop out.
The two candidates then with the highest vote total will go to a second ballot.
And conference votes for leadership are typically always conducted in a secret ballot, which I hate.
Why would that be a secret ballot?
Why?
Why do we do it that way?
Why can't they be transparent?
If you want to vote for somebody, you know, the the biggest and and I have nothing against anybody personally here.
I just want the most aggressive agenda because really Republicans, they they've got to get the majority.
They cannot assume that they're gonna win an off-year midterm election, and with now control of the House, the odds are very high that Republicans will be around two twenty-two twenty two twenty-three.
That with that majority in the House, a majority in the Senate, if Republic and Donald Trump is president, that would be the single best scenario to actually get a lot of work done.
And at the end of the day, it's about securing our borders, it's about law and order and safety and security, it's about energy dominance, it's about a lot of things that I think we ought to be paying attention to.
You know, one interesting note that I I think I should bring up on the program, uh, because I think this is pr pretty funny, is when you actually look at how the world is reacting to Donald Trump, it gets a little hilarious because you know, for example, the uh the first female chief of staff is appointed.
I thought Mark Cuban said that Donald Trump doesn't like strong, smart, intelligent women.
Well, apparently he does because it also happened to be his campaign manager.
Uh I noticed that the mayor of New York, Eric Adams, stopped giving debit cards to illegal immigrants.
Is it a mere coincidence that it happened only after Donald Trump became president?
I noticed that U.S. companies are bringing their production home now and announcing it and making big announcements.
I noticed that the stock market hit an all-time high.
Uh although the stock market is not the in my mind has never been the best barometer of where the state of the economy is.
Uh for the longest time, it's gonna take a while unless they can go back and redo the budget.
They really do need to redo it and do it quickly because we've we've got to get this economy fixed as fast as possible so that the people in this country that have been uh unfairly struggling with Biden Harris inflation can get some relief.
The the the Trump tax cuts will be extended.
I notice Bitcoin hit all-time highs.
Uh we have that caravan that was on its way towards the United States, apparently is now breaking up.
Uh Cutter agreed to finally evict Hamas leaders that have been living high on the hog in Qatar.
Hamas wants an immediate end to the war.
The Taliban is claiming they want, quote, a new chapter.
China wants to peacefully coexist.
Russia is ready to speak with the U.S. The U uh EU is saying they want to buy U.S. gas, not Russian gas.
Ukraine leaders are in talks with Trump and and Elon Musk.
Oh, he's it was only president-elect for a short time.
It seems like the world is reacting to Donald Trump being elected.
I mean, which is a good thing.
I mean, you still have the crazy left that they're never gonna get it.
So we we just got to pay very close attention.
And the Republicans, just so you know, Reuters is even reporting that they are on the brink of of getting U.S. control of the House.
Uh polls had shown that there was a 70 to 80% chance that in fact the House might move towards the Democratic Party if you were looking at some of the polls in that race.
So we're gonna we're gonna f watch carefully.
We're gonna monitor all of this.
We're gonna share all of this with you.
But I stand by where we are as a country, and we'll we'll go through the madness that is going on.
And I can give you predictable madness, and we'll get into this later in the program on the issue of illegal immigration.
And when Donald Trump here's what we know 12 and a half plus unvetted Harris Biden illegals from over 180 countries, including our top geopolitical foes.
Iran, Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, Venezuela, China, tens and tens of thousands, and Russia.
We know that dozens and dozens and dozens of Americans have been murdered allegedly, reportedly, by these Harris Biden unvetted illegals.
We know that dozens and dozens have been raped, including young children.
We have reported on this over and over and over again.
We have talked at length about the fact that we have known terrorists in this country.
We don't know how many, and we don't know where they are.
We better find them because you know that they're plotting and planning and scheming another attack on America.
So we have to get rid of these people.
It is mandatory for our national security to do so.
It is the biggest national security failure in the history of this country.
We know that there are cartel members inside of our country.
We know there are known gang members inside of our country.
We are told that they know of 13,000 murderers that they let into our country.
And if we don't get rid of them, and I think Tom Holman, who was just announced is going to be in charge of this, uh, will act very, very quickly.
He's been a regular on this program now for years.
He's a no nonsense guy, and he's he's gonna take that job.
Now, I can also tell you and predict to you that the hyperbole, you know, the the talk of intermingams and racism and etc.
It's it's already begun.
But what other choice do we have?
And then on as it relates to those people that are in this country that didn't respect our laws, our borders, our sovereignty, the people that Kamala Harris would have decriminalized and offered free food, housing, health care, education, legal driver's licenses to uh taxpayer-funded sex change operations and amnesty, you know.
Why should they be rewarded in the people that actually follow our laws, obey our laws, go through the hard, arduous process?
Why should they be wh why should we be rewarding the people with amnesty that didn't respect our our process and our laws and our borders?
Now, this is gonna become a big issue.
And the issue is going to be look at what Donald Trump is doing.
He doesn't like people of color in the United States.
Well, let me ask you another question.
What would happen to Sean Hannity?
Linda, you can tell me.
You I'm gonna I'm gonna quiz you and see if you come up with the right answer.
And if I decided to drive down to our southern border, and people that were illegal, if I pick them up and I said to them, what state would you like to go to?
I'll give you a choice of 45 locations.
Where would you like me to drive you?
And I would drive them to that state, and then I would I would take taxpayer money and I would buy them a nice three, four-star hotel room and give them free food and enroll their children in school and tell them where they can get free health care, and if they wanted a sex change operation.
What would happen to Sean Hannity if I got involved and I did that?
You get you get picked up by the POPO, you'd be in jail.
I'd be in jail.
And what would I likely be charged with?
Human trafficking?
What I'm gonna do is.
Human trafficking, smuggling, you know aiding and abetting and law breaking.
All the things.
All the things.
And probably would I ever see the light of day again?
Not if Tom Homan's in charge.
You're going down.
Okay.
So the the problem is by the yeah, he put me in jail.
He wouldn't care.
Put you in the clinker, brother.
He put me in the clinker.
Would you would you come visit me?
Would you bring a cake with a?
I'll bring you a cake, a big old chocolate cake, big file.
I don't like chocolate.
I like vanilla.
Oh my God.
You're in prison.
You don't get to choose.
If you're gonna bring the cake, at least bring me one that I would really like to do.
I'll bring you lemon cake from Dells.
How's that?
Okay, you're gonna put a file in it.
Yeah.
So put the file in the hot dog bun.
That's right.
I'll talk to Big Mike.
I'll get it from him.
We got to repost you eating the Chicago hot dog.
Oh my god.
By the way, I keep waiting for my package from Big.
It's coming.
I'm waiting for it.
He told me.
I want to have a big hot dog day.
No.
But we we gotta pay Big Mike.
I'm not getting taking it for free.
I would be in jail.
Here's my point.
Harris and Biden institutionalize the law breaking.
Why would any American be again saying you didn't respect our laws?
Now, there's a way to do it compassionately.
I'd give people three months, two months, whatever it is.
You can self-report that you entered the country illegally.
Okay.
Turn yourself in.
We'll get you on an airplane.
We'll send you home.
We'll put money in your pocket, and you're saying, Hannity, trust me, you pay for three hotel room nights and you're saving a bundle in the end.
And then say you have the ability to now apply for citizenship because you self-report.
For those people that don't self-report, then when they're caught, then they're going to be put on the same plane.
Don't give them a penny, and then they can go back to their former lives.
Hannity, you're talking about being mean.
No, I'm talking about enforcing the law.
You know, the laws that you wanted to enforce against Donald Trump by falsely valuating Mar-a-Lago.
Yeah.
I'm not for lawfare, but I am for legal immigration.
800 941 Sean, buckle up.
That's going to be huge.
Uh Democrats are now mounting, you know, as I said, this full court press as it relates to the McCormick case.
We're going to watch this very, very closely.
Uh it's pretty pretty predictable the way they're acting.
Doesn't shock me, doesn't surprise me, and doesn't mean a lot.
One thing that stood out that we've just been kind of discovering is the amount of spending.
Kamala Harris raised over a billion dollars.
Over a billion.
They had 118 million dollars in the bank as of October the 16th.
Now they are reportedly 20 million dollars in debt.
And the Harris campaign, their affiliated committees dropped more than 654 million on advertising from July 22nd to election day.
Now payroll and the taxes accompanied accompanying it.
That was 56.6 million.
Okay, that's normal stuff.
There was an army of political digital media consultants who were paid over 12.8 million by the Harris campaign.
They have a marketing agency.
They got 3.9 million.
They work to recruit thousands of social media influencers to boost Harris online, which by the way, you need to understand that this is very common.
I believe in free speech, so I'm not against it, except when they use bots instead of real people.
But you know, if they're paying these people, I think it just needs to be disclosed.
They're allowed to promote any person they want.
The campaign spent more than 15 million according to federal filings to companies for event production companies.
That's kind of normal.
There was a million dollars for Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions on October 15th, that event in West Hollywood when she said you may never get to vote again.
Oprah.
Any credibility you might have had, any influence you might have had is gone.
Just like George Clooney, just like Julia Roberts, just like ABC, MBC, CBS, just like every liberal cable channel, and just like every celebrity, just like every major newspaper, New York Times, Washington Post, but they all all so harshly against Trump.
And yet, you know, you look at all the rest of it and all of the apparently they were paying money to, you know, Harris campaign spent six figures on building a set for the one Harris appearance on the call her daddy podcast with Alex Cooper.
Why are they spending six figures?
Just show up in a room in a podcast.
A podcast is nothing.
The campaign spent election eve concerts cost up to 20 million dollars.
Well, John Bon Jovi in Detroit, Christina Aguilera in Vegas, Katie Perry in Pittsburgh, Lady Gaga of Philadelphia, you know, and a bunch of other people.
I guess they're not so powerful.
You know, what happened to Howard Stern's influence here?
I know we're a bunch of racists, we're all pieces of garbage, etc., etc.
Reuters reports the migrant caravan has shrunk in half in wake of Donald Trump's election.
As many illegal immigrant wannabes have grappled with their prospects of Donald Trump having won the election.
Uh Governor Ron DeSantis here in the free state of Florida is now ordered a probe into the Trump haters at FEMA who stiffed hurricane victims.
This in the Washington Times and on Friday ordered an investigation into reports that workers with FEMA are skipping the homes of Trump's supporters while surveying damage from Hurricane Milton.
I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.
Now he posted on X that he directed the state's division of emergency management to probe the federal government's targeted discrimination of Floridians who supported Donald Trump.
He said the blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden Harris administration is in its final days.
He says new leadership is on the way.
I'm optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired.
They need to be fired.
And let me pick up on that.
What does that mean?
You know, the left is thinking there's going to be retribution and they're going to take me off the air and put me in jail.
No, they're not.
They're not.
Nobody's gonna nobody's gonna take Bill Maher off the air.
He's the only one that was this weekend.
Uh I was actually pleasantly surprised when he called liberals a bunch of brats and snobs and you know, and just called it out for what it is.
The problem that he has, at least he's honest about describing you know the nuts in his party, but they're not gonna listen.
If there was a primary tomorrow, I promise you, the most radical candidate would be the one that would win.
I don't think that they're gonna change.
Now, the New York Post had a uh a follow-up on this FEMA issue, and that the that a FEMA supervisor accused of ordering subordinates to skip Florida Homes with Trump campaign signs has been fired, uh, according to the New York Post, and this person sacked for telling disaster relief workers to not go to homes with yard signs supporting President elect Trump.
Who would do that?
If I'm the head of FEMA, I don't care.
I don't want to know your politics.
I want to make sure that you have food on your table, a place to stay, and your family's gonna be safe, and clothes on your back, and and then help and support to rebuild your life.
Because that, you know, we spend all this money helping Ukraine for crying out loud we can't help our own American citizens, and we got to politicize even that.
It's it's it's so discouraging at times.
It really is, and it's so wrong on so many different levels.
Uh the New York Post also reporting democratic lies about Trump reinforced by the media are now causing a nationwide outbreak of mental health problems.
I'm not laughing at mental health problems because mental health is a real issue for a lot of people.
I've had people in my life that I love that I care about.
You haven't you ever know somebody that suffered from depression?
And you know, there are no words that you can deliver to them that will snap them out of it.
It's a real condition.
And we've all known people in our lives that have had some issues, et cetera.
Democrats seem to, anyway, one horrific fraction seems to have bought into their leaders' irresponsible uh, you know, apocalyptic rhetoric and are damaging themselves, their families, and their children, and the Democratic Party calling people fascist,
Nazi, racist, garbage, et cetera, et cetera, end of democracy, all the lies they told about abortion, all the fear-mongering of seniors that Trump is going to take away Social Security and Medicare, and Donald Trump is going to uh uh push a national abortion ban and limit con limit access to contraception, and he's not gonna support IVF.
All lies.
You know, it's it is it is just pretty unbelievable to me.
And it turns out that it has led people to actually believe it, and apparently they're moating on social media.
I think Miranda Devine put this pretty well about how they've now cut off all ties with their MAGA parents and Children.
I mean, this is how indoctrinated people have become.
I mean, you have thousands of stunned New York liberals seeking psychiatric help according to the New York Post.
It's a perfect storm for New York therapists, according to the New York Post, who estimated she received a 15% spike in inquiries from patients.
It's a repeat of 2016 where a lot of people feel really scared and traumatized and angry.
Man, if I if I needed help every time things didn't go the way I would like them to go during an election, I would not be able to do this show.
I mean, he is, you know, we're now at a point where he's been given a clear mandate to govern.
And I want to just say this to people because there are people that we're gonna get them.
We're gonna do the no.
If you really believe in our constitution, if you really want to stop lawfare and the weaponization of our Department of Justice, if you really want and care about having an FBI and returning what used to be the world's premier law enforcement agency,
and to say with our intelligence agencies, the premier agencies in the world, and you want to get politics out of it, you've got to get the right people in those positions that will clean out those that have been been involved in the the politicizing these these agencies, and you don't want done to them what they did to us.
And some people say, Hannity, come on, fight.
I want you to find it's it's not gonna help.
You want to put in place protections so that it could never happen again.
I mean, that's just basic common sense.
That is 101.
Anyway, so the president, you I mean, you know, I'm watching what's going on.
We talked a lot about it on Friday.
A lot of Democrats are not taking it well.
Um, I'm not on social media, but my team sends me all this stuff out and some of it I just outright laugh at.
I mean, all of these self-proclaimed feminists that bought Kamala Harris straight up lying to them about abortion, etc.
You know, shaving their heads out of anger.
They're vowing to punish Trump supporters by boycotting sex and procreation and relationships and divorcing their husbands, something called the 4B movement.
And I showed some, we'll show more of it tonight on Hannity.
And many Democrats have have totally bought into the lies and the hysteria that was that was pushed on them by the Harris campaign and by the state-run legacy media.
And obviously it didn't have.
I mean, you have people stockpiling abortion pills, which are still will still be available after Donald Trump is sworn in.
You know, Ivy League institutions postponing exams, can't canceling classes, providing students with crayons, Legos, cookies, and milk to cope with you know Trump's election win.
You know, then you got these these, you know, blue state governors like Phil Murphy and Kathy Holkel.
I mean, it's it's insane.
Gavin Newsom calling a special session.
What is Gavin?
Why?
Because you're the one that said to me on my show that when you needed anything, when Donald Trump was president related to COVID assistance, he gave it to you immediately.
Why do you think that that would change?
You know, you have people over, you know, Jennifer Rubin.
It's 1933.
Hitler is in power, no time for bleeping seminars on democratic messaging errors.
I'm like, wow.
This is the problem with the big lie.
The most amazing thing ever is that the American people have now once and for all rejected.
They don't care what the Washington Post, New York Times, USA Today, MSDNC, fake news CNN, ABC, MBC, CBS.
They don't care what any liberal commentator has to say.
They don't care what any celebrity has to say.
They've rejected all of it, and that is helped secure a landslide victory for Donald Trump.
Everything that they've thrown at him.
Every single thing.
More than 40% of Californians voted for Donald Trump.
Okay.
Maybe, maybe not as as liberal as I don't know.
I don't know if a Republican can ever win California.
Maybe things will have to get that bad.
You know, Donald Trump won the national won the popular vote.
That had not happened since 2004.
That's 20 straight years.
Blue State governors scorned after sending warnings to Trump.
The American people are done with this.
But they're going to be calling Donald Trump, I'm sure, often asking for help.
And I think he will help them.
And all this talk about retribution, it's not going to happen.
This Texas salon owner that was jailed for staying open during COVID won her election.
How great is that?
The state rep elected state rep elect Shelly Luther jailed for operating a Dallas salon until Governor Abbott got involved.
And anyway, she closed the salon for a month.
Ultimately decided to open the door.
Everybody knew the risks.
They decided to freely go in.
No, she didn't force people into her store.
And she won with 77% of the vote.
How great is that?
New York lost nine billionaires this year and 1% of their population.
They're leaving and they're taking their dollars with them.
Seattle's losing billionaires.
San Francisco lost 15 billionaires.
Austin, Texas, 15 billionaires.
I mean, it's it's unbelievable.
It's but they're all leaving and they're getting the hell out of Dodge.
Tax Rich tax the rich.
We did.
Now, God forbid the rich leave.
Yeah.
Well, that they're leaving because they've been told to leave.
How many times did I hear from two governors in a row?
If you want to do as conceivities and you're pro live and pro second amendment, I'm not anti-gay.
Nice try, though.
