This is an iHeart Podcast.
Well we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound We'll all be buying.
High little jail on.
And if you want a little banging yang, come along.
We will work with the incoming administration whenever and wherever possible in order to solve problems.
But strongly disagree and push back against the extremism.
The facts are that people have lost trust in legacy media.
That's not me saying that.
That's a demonstrable fact.
And this is making everyone's head explode right now if we're all watching it in the public in real time, and I'm sure we'll have a lot more opinions on that.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming.
To your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song Sean Hannity.
The new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you, a special thanks to all of you for helping to get this country an opportunity to get back on track.
And I am confident at a very high level, in fact, that we will, and we will do it pretty quickly, or as expeditiously.
It happened very quick.
We're going to get it done very fast, as Donald Trump tries to say.
You know, listening to the fear mongering, it just it just never stops.
They can't let go fascist, Nazi threat to democracy, garbage, et cetera, et cetera.
How strange was this yes uh when you think about yesterday with Joe Biden and Donald Trump?
And the more I think about it, the more interested and uh interested in it that I am.
How strange is you know, Joe Biden has beaming smile during this friendly meeting with Donald Trump, even Charlemagne the God asks, uh, what happened to all the fascist talk?
What happened to the MAGA extremist talk, the Nazi talk, the garbage talk.
I mean, so I don't know why Charlemagne was taken aback by this, which is pretty funny.
I'll talk more about it later.
But when you really think about it, and it really got picked up and and went somewhat viral on social media, Biden grinning, you know, peek to cheek and smiling during this meeting, and there was a lot of you know, people commenting, oh, Joe Biden shares the same smile with most of America right now, and that is that Kamala lost.
This you know there's gotta be a part of Joe Biden that feels vindicated here.
You know that he he's gotta feel that there's no way that he does not feel a sense of vindication.
He's that there's no way that he does not feel like I told you so and wants to say it.
Because he does.
And we know pretty much the backstory.
I'm not able to piece together everything.
I I think one day the entire story will come out, but to the best of my ability, what I have pieced together is the people that most wanted Joe out were Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama.
I don't think George Clooney, as dumb an idiot as I think that he is, and that stupid ad that he ran about you can still be a you know, lie to your best friends and be a bro.
But when you go to the ballot box, you can vote for Kamala and just don't tell your friends that are that are Donald Trump supporters.
You can be a words, what kind of relationship is that?
We'll ask Dr. Drew Pinsky later about this.
What kind of relationship is it that you have with your friends if you lie to them?
Or Julia Roberts suggesting you can tell your husband that you voted the right way, meaning for Donald Trump, but you can go in the ballot box and it can be very secret, and you can just lie to your husband.
The best part of this entire election is the death of two things, and that is legacy media, the nine years that the New York Times and and Washington Post and USA Today and every major newspaper in this country,
you know, for the nine years that ABC, NBC, CBS have all been attacking Trump every second, every minute, every hour of every 24-hour day for nine straight years.
You know, all these cable channels, fake news, CNN, and MSDNC, you know, attacking them, and the Americans and then that that's that's the death of legacy media.
And the second part is the death of celebrity endorsement.
It didn't matter that Bruce Springsteen, John Bon Jovi, or any of these singers, and I like Bon Jovi more than Bruce Springsteen, but putting that aside for a second, Howard Stern, you know, all these quote influencers, all of Oprah Winfrey, it you know, Taylor Swift.
It's like the death of celebrity endorsement.
They are absolutely positively meaningless because the American people saw it, heard it all, and they rejected it all.
And these people had no power and no influence, and it just shows how sick it is that you know Joe Biden is going to be friendly with somebody that he thinks is a mega extremist, fascist, Nazi, etc.
And it's just you know, let's yuck it up together.
Not a big deal, because that's what what happened at the White House yesterday.
And, you know, we're at a point in time, but that that is the state of where we are with the media in this country.
I mean, it's pretty fascinating to watch on the media side of things, um, an article today out that ABC news brass are in quote, a panic mode as they hunt for conservative voices to balance, you know, the anti-Trump rhetoric spewed by the hosts on the view as well as those on other shows, according to the post.
It goes on that isn't the ABC Disney Bob Iger run network, which came under fire about how awful ABC News moderators grilled Donald Trump and fact checked him, but they didn't treat Kamala Harris the same way during that presidential debate.
You know, they've been apparently holding high-level meetings since last week's route by Donald Trump, according to sources, and the post is reporting that ABC News Group president Deborah O'Connell and her recently elevated boss at ABC News held it these intense sit-downs with executive producers of the network and their various shows and other senior editorial leaders,
and first on the agenda, according to one insider is finding a pro-Trump panelist for their top-ranked daytime show, The View, with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Les Bear, and Sonny Houston and Sarah Haynes and Anna Navarro and Alyssa Farrah Griffin, they all hate Trump.
It might maybe it explains, and I did tell you this, Lynn, did I mention it on the air?
I don't remember.
I mean, I've just been talking on nonstop 24-7.
Um that the view, after all of these years, hearing my interview with Stephen A. Smith, apparently contacted Fox and asked if I would be willing to appear on the view.
Did you did I tell you that yet?
Or did you tell them it's a must that um your radio producer has to come with you?
Because I think I have a lot to offer.
I mean, I'm just you know.
I I I think you at the table might uh it might it would bring that show to new ratings heights or something.
I don't even need to sit at the table.
I can like stand kind of off to the side to just say pipe in, you know.
Just pipe in occasionally, and you know, I think the show is so joy older for love.
Joy.
No, it's joyless, but go ahead.
Joy, joy, joy.
First of all, first thinking outside the box, you know, first of all, and then this is why I think you're wrong.
Actually, you know what?
That's a whole got your ass kicked in the election.
Let me gloat for the rest of America that doesn't watch.
I'll come out to celebration.
We'll just play that as my walkout song.
Anyways, back to you, I apologize.
So you were invited on to then when are you appearing?
Um well, I'm not appearing because uh if I had confidence, now I used to do the show.
I if I had confidence that they really wanted to have a discussion.
For example, can you repost my interview with Stephen A. Smith post-election on his podcast?
I was a guest on his podcast for it.
It's still up there, but I'll make it front and sentence.
Okay.
Thank you.
On Hannity.com and on my social media.
All right.
So and if people get a chance, I urge them to watch it.
And and Stephen A's great.
And when I'm on his show, I talk.
And when he's on my show, I I mostly give up the microphone to him.
And then I get criticized.
Stephen A. schools Sean Hannity because I let him talk.
And I don't interrupt his thought or argue with him.
We just that's kind of like our way of dealing with each other.
Except nobody ever writes a thing Hannity schools Stephen A. It always works in his favor because he's always going against me, and they always want the conservative to look bad, but I'm fine with that because he's still my dear friend and I love him and uh it was a pleasure and an honor, frankly, to be on his show.
And he he does a great podcast.
And he does a great he's a great guy.
And I don't think I don't think it I don't think ESPN exists but for Stephen A. That's what's just my opinion.
So, you know, but we had a discussion.
I don't think they're capable of it.
If I thought they really wanted to hear my views and could hear me out without calling me a fascist, racist or some other names, which is gonna set me off, and then I'm gonna go.
And I'm not gonna stop.
Well, just do it to my time.
You may not diverge, and uh, you know, we'll have a film.
I would be willing to have a discussion, but what are the odds that I get to finish a single thought?
Probably zero.
And I'm like, well, why waste time?
I think I give you a lot of things.
And why should I give why should I give them my ratings because my uh and tell my audience to tune into their show?
I mean Well, I mean, you are a Christian.
You are a man of you believe in giving and Christian is acknowledges they're not perfect, they need God's healing and and you want to be a better person, and that's often misunderstood.
Maybe it's their Christmas wish.
Well, I don't know if you notice this in the aftermath of the landslide, legacy media outlet LA Times appears to be making a frantic effort to realign with other voters.
I can't say who, but I know that that the Washington Post has reached out to a number of conservatives I know in the hopes of hiring them.
Um I think Joe Rogan, you know, has proven and talk radio has proven and Fox News has proven that you know Americans are gonna choose based on who they trust and who they believe in.
And if you think ABC Disney learned anything, as if past statements weren't enough, they have a new Snow White movie.
I don't know if you knew that, is apparently destined for a colossal failure.
Snow White actress is attacking Trump voters, telling people to leave X. I did see that.
What a hot mess.
Well, why would you why would you care?
And then on ABC Disney, you know, Jimmy Kimmel is attacking Melania or Trump again.
And I may just have to pull out, let's see, um the Carl Malone, uh Jimmy Kimmel uh blackface bit, or Jimmy Kimmel with a cucumber in his pants asking strangers to touch it bit and and just you know exit out and and hashtag Disney ABC and Bob Iger because that's what I did the last time until he apologized to me.
And it was over the first the same thing.
He's smearing Melania Trump and making fun of her accent yet again, conjuring up a fantasy in which he divorces Donald Trump and attacking Melania Trump during his opening monologue because she turned down Jill Biden's White House invitation and Trump's team claims Melania had a scheduling conflict.
No, she actually was honest about it through her spokesperson and said, No, after what they did to my my home and my personal belongings, no thank you.
You know, we're learning more from Joe Rogan why Kamala wouldn't do his podcast, which was pretty stupid, just like not going to the Al Smith dinner, I think was pretty stupid.
You know, not being able to do Brett Bear for more than 20 minutes was pretty stupid.
You know, she should have because she should have taken us up.
I offered her three hours of radio and an hour of TV, and I would have gone commercial free with Kamala Harris and and given her questions.
But Joe Rogan said that they put conditions.
He could number one, only one hour.
Joe Rogan is he free associates.
Donald Trump sat there for three hours with the guy.
And then they said they would they would not talk about marijuana legalization.
Okay, you don't get to dictate that.
The former uh you know this historian Alan Lickman.
Yeah, do you think he could have been any any more wrong?
Well, he's got an eight out of ten presidential elections right using his formula of thirteen items.
Now he's blaming conservative media that he screwed it up.
It's unbelievable the times we're living in here.
I haven't even gotten to what I want to talk about today.
Democrats now fear mongering Trump will he's going to seek a third term, according to Congressman Dan Goldman.
Well, I hate to tell you, uh the twenty-sixth amendment uh is very clear and it applies to two terms in the aggregate as president of the United States and reaffirms that it applies to the president elect Trump.
I mean, well, what else do you want here?
But if ABC wants to add a pro-Trump panelist to the view, I think that's fine.
I you know, I would consider it if I thought I used to get along with Whoopi Goldberg.
Liked her.
We had very pleasant conversations.
She used to even come on my show back in the day.
I used to go on that show until it got so ridiculous.
Barbara Walters was there at the time, and Rosie O'Donnell would not would not calm down, and I was not going to let her talk over me, and it was like a train wreck television.
And what are you supposed to do?
Look at this.
The ACLU is pretty much declaring war on Donald Trump.
We have a concrete plan to fight back Trump administration's anti-liberty and fundamentally anti-American policies will be met with the full power firepower of the ACLU.
You know, they have a lot of power.
That means they're just going to use law fare and continue with that.
What's up?
And meanwhile, they want to censor X at every turn.
It's like they want the law to work for them and weaponize it just on one side of the aisle.
It's absolutely absurd.
So typical.
All right.
As we roll along, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program, one of the things I've been repeating is that we have got to restore agencies and departments to their former greatness.
And the weaponization of justice has got to end in this country.
Some of the things we need to get to the bottom of why this was allowed to happen, and maybe hold some people accountable that abused, you know, the law or weaponized the law for their own benefit.
Uh there's a report by Kerry Pickett today that many Republican lawmakers want Congress to strip the security clearances of those fifty-one former U.S. intelligence officials that claimed without knowing a thing about Hunter Biden's real very real laptop.
They never examined it, you know, was likely Russian disinformation at the request of Wink and Tony Blinken.
Lindsey Graham said it should be an option to yank the official security clearances.
He said that each official must be held accountable and that he plans on writing a letter to each one.
Darrell Issa, by the way, said I think we should scrub all the legacy cle clearances to see whether people need to have them and for what purpose, and unless they're working for a company in a role that makes sense, they should be taken away.
Andy Biggs, same thing.
J.D. Vance, same thing.
Breaking news all afternoon.
When you get off work, be sure to check in first for everything you miss during the day.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
I-25 now to the top of the hour.
Our toll-free telephone number, 800-941-SEAN-NN.
If you'd like to join us.
Look, uh, I believe in the second amendment.
Every gun owner thinks about that.
God forbid, what if scenario somebody breaks into your home, wants to bring harm to you, your family, or your business and you and your employees?
Um in your mind you have a plan, and and you will successfully eliminate that threat and keep everybody safe.
Now I don't care if you're ex-Navy SEAL, longtime gun owner, new to firearms, this is where your nightmare may begin.
There are powerful people, and we have seen cases like this become very public where people that are defending themselves, even on video tape, they end up being the ones getting arrested, and then the criminal gets to go free.
This is why the USCCA exists as a member.
They offer world-class training, self-defense, liability, insurance, so God forbid if that moment ever comes, you will not face it alone.
There are over 800,000 American gun owners like myself, and I've been a proud member nine years that trust the USCCA, and they want to offer every one of you listening to my voice right now free instant access to the life-saving resource, which is the U.S. C C A conceal carry and family defense guide.
While you are there, please look at their membership and the safeguards that they will provide you and your family if God forbid you're involved in a self-defense situation at some point.
Now to get the free, you know, USCCA uh concealed carry family defense guide.
Well, it's simple.
Just text my last name Hannity, H A N N I T Y to the number eight seven two two two two two.
It's that simple.
Just text my last name Hannity to 872.
Do it now.
You'll have instant access to that.
I want to tip my hat to my home state of Florida, because Florida, thanks to Governor DeSantis and the Attorney General Ashley Moody, are now suing FEMA for discriminating against supporters of President elect Donald Trump after the reports have come out about a supervisor that directed relief workers in my home state to avoid homes that have Trump signs or in any way indicate they like Donald Trump.
Now the suit comes after whistleblowers reported that they were directed to bypass the homes of people with Trump flags or yard signs when canvassing different homes in places like Lake Placid to see if they were qualified for hurricane assistance after Hurricane Milton.
And while the facts will continue to come out over the weeks and the months, you know, it is already clear that the you know the the that FEMA officials as well as those carrying out orders were violating the civil rights of Florida citizens.
And by the way, this story goes even a little deeper, unfortunately, which it wasn't the case, and as much as you know, the New York Post reported that it's happened for years, and FEMA allegedly telling workers to pri prioritize, quote, the marginalized over Trump voters.
And it's just so outrageous, it's pretty unbelievable.
But that's so good for our state pursuing them and for pursuing that.
Look, there's there's a lot to get to.
Um a real lot to get to.
And I want to just say this, you know, now that we're beginning to see the the cabinet of Donald Trump emerge here, and you know, we learn that John Thuon, um, now he said all the right things yesterday, but I'm a trust for verify guy.
And I always kind of you know, he's kind of soft spoken, doesn't speak a lot, doesn't do many interviews, and I listened very closely to what he said yesterday.
He seemed to say all the right things that he's going to support the Trump agenda, but uh his actions will speak louder than any words that he might be offering.
But putting that aside, then we have uh Donald Trump endorsing House Speaker Mike Johnson now that the House will once again be in Republican hands.
We do have a little bit of a problem.
Matt Gates has resigned after he's been, you know, picked to be the next attorney general, and then we have Elise DeFonick.
She's going into the administration as the UN ambassador.
Mike Waltz is going in of Florida also.
Uh I hope that Waltz and Stefanick, the sooner that they resign their positions, the sooner the states can have Florida, my state.
I think it's what, six or about six weeks.
I mean, they could have an election and they can replace the Congressman, and I and I hope Governor DeSantis will, and I'm sure he will, uh, will make that decision and call for an election.
And I hope New York does the same thing.
And we have Marco Rubio now going to, he's the official pick for Secretary of State.
Uh Tulsi Gabbard nominated for director of national intelligence.
And uh, you know, the biggest meltdown on the left, you know, seems to be about two people, one my friend and colleague uh Pete Heggseth.
Uh and, you know, it it it's really sad in life is that remember they went on a quail hunt when George Herbert Walker Bush picked Dan Quell.
Dan Quail was a very decent human being and a great senator from Indiana.
And nobody ever criticized him.
And then they wanted to smear slander besmirch and destroy this guy.
And they called it a quail hunt.
And they they did the same thing to Governor Palin.
You know, they they uh even people like Mitt Romney running for president, going all the way back to Goldwater, and then you can include Nixon, and then you can include Reagan, and then you can include Gerald Ford, and then you can include you know,
every Republican president or candidate ever, George W. Bush, uh, then of course Donald Trump, you know, Mitt Romney and John McCain, Democrats, they call all of them Nazis and fascists.
It just was never as bad or as loud as it's been this time.
So anyway, so the cabinet now is beginning to fill out.
Um they're going to try to get a number of these nominees uh out of contention.
It is part of the normal vetting process, and they're going to use pretty much any means necessary to smear, slander, besmirch, destroy them, like kind of like what they did to Justice Kavanaugh.
I mean, all these people never made any allegations against the guy.
They all of a sudden they come out of the woodwork, and then their story started to change.
And maybe it was Lindsay Graham's finest moment when he had just had it and got pissed off.
And he was on TV last night, he said, can we please give everyone a fair hearing?
Can we please and and he is somebody that is, you know, and taking criticism for it?
He is a believer, and I'm kind of in the same camp that a president that is elected, duly elected by the people to run a government based on promises made to the people, ought to be able to hire the people that they want in very specific positions.
And Lindsey Graham's position, except for one time in his career, there was one exception, has gone along with Democratic appointments that he is not liked or wanted in those positions, but knowing that the president elect won the election, he would defer to them and give them an opportunity and a chance at least to explain themselves.
But you can see what's going on here.
You know, Pete Hag Seth, a guy that went to Princeton, a guy that went to Harvard, a guy that served in Gitmo, a guy that went to Iraq in Afghanistan, and and they want to smear slander, besmirch, you know, the character assassination has already begun at a very high level.
And I'm sure the the bureaucrats and the deep state and the Pentagon want nothing to do with him.
Matt Gates, everyone knows he's a four-term congressman, controversial figure.
Uh didn't make a lot of friends when he made the motion to vacate against Kevin McCarthy.
Uh there's no doubt about that.
Uh he's been a longtime supporter of President Trump, and he's also worked, and Jim Jordan will join us at the top of the hour, worked very, very aggressively and very hard to expose the weaponization of the Department of Justice.
And he was very, very critical in getting vital information when it came to Operation Crossfire Hurricane, and very, very outspoken on issues involving FISA.
I mean, he's been a fighter from the day that he went in there.
And so, you know, the left and the breathless hysteria that they project always onto Donald Trump and we the people, the garbage, his supporters, you know, they're now projecting onto him too in the hopes of destroying him.
Now already two Republican senators, Murkowski and Collins have said they won't support him.
And, you know, uh that means if he loses, he can lose one more senator, and then at that point, at least unless he got a recess appointment, he would not be the attorney general.
Um so it's kind of what's interesting about the arguments that they're making, whether you like somebody or don't like somebody, I want to know answers to serious questions.
And that's what, by the way, hearings are about.
That's what investigations are about.
Okay.
So the guy who with Jim Jordan has been fighting tooth and nail to stop lawfare and stop the weaponization of justice is being accused of wanting the weaponization of justice and being opposed by the very people that were either complicit or silent and are now all of a sudden outraged that the very thing that they have been silent about or supportive of,
which is weaponization, might be done to them, which by the way, I am dead set against.
You know, where where was the outrage over Obama's wingman Eric Holder?
You know, the guy that vowed to to, you know, when they go low to kick him.
You know, where where was the outrage when he was in office and there was that that Mexican gun running scheme that led to the murder of a U.S. border patrol agent?
You know, where was the hysteria over Lois Lerner targeting conservatives?
Where's the hysteria over Holder's secret federal surveillance of reporters at the AP and Fox News?
You know, I don't remember legacy media.
I don't remember Democrats speaking out against these abuses of power.
Did anyone in the state run media, legacy media mob, you know, ever speak out against four FISA warrants, the bulk of information coming from a bought and paid for dirty dossier, Russian dossier paid for by Hillary Rodham Clinton or the DOJ's witch hunt based on that Russian disinformation paid for by Hillary?
You know, is there any outrage at all over any of these things?
Did anyone at the state run legacy media mob ever condemn any of these things, four FISA warrants, you know, that never should have been signed years later?
Everybody that signed them based on what you would know now, would you still sign them?
Uh no, no, no, not based on what we know now.
Well, they shouldn't have signed them unless they knew the information was true and accurate.
So nobody in the nobody ever was held accountable for it.
There was no outrage in the media, and there was no outrage by Democrats.
And this is why legacy media is dead and why nobody trusts them.
Why should we trust them?
They have lied to us, and they have conspired and can and attack Donald Trump at every every front.
It's unbelievable.
You know, they didn't lose sleep over, you know, what we have 34 of limitations, 34 charges against Donald Trump, stacked charges on a novel legal theory on something well beyond the statute of limitations brought by a left-wing attorney general who ran on a platform of getting Trump.
And then, of course, in that case, we know that, you know, the 34 charges against Donald Trump was about a legal NDA that was put together legally by an attorney that was labeled the legal expense?
Are you kidding me?
Every single company in America has one.
Probably even the DA's office in Manhattan.
You know, did they care about the 51 former Intel officials that never examined the very real laptop of Hunter Biden, didn't know a single thing about it, but all proclaimed it was likely Russian disinformations only a few weeks before an election?
You know, to this day, is anybody in the media mob, do they care that Wink and Tony Blinken organized that disinformation campaign or the unequal system of justice?
Mur-a Lago gets rated and Trump gets charged, but Joe Biden had top secret classified information in four separate locations.
Hillary Clinton had top secret classified information all over her servers, and she used bleach bleach bit to delete 33,000 subpoenaed emails and destroy devices with hammers and remove SIM cards.
Did anyone in the legacy media say a word about this?
Anyone in the Democratic Party, were they ever outraged at that?
Were they ever outraged about, you know, parents at school board meetings being labeled extremists and possible terrorists because they don't like a woke agenda for crying out loud?
We have witnessed spying, censorship, lawfare, corruption, intimidation, extreme political bias from the DOJ and the legacy media mob, nothing.
But they care about, oh, they want to go after Matt Gates, and they want to go after Pete Hegseth.
That's what they want to do.
Their Washington field office, the FBI, the DOJ has been out of control.
They have had to get Trump by any means necessary mentality.
The American people thankfully saw through it nine days ago.
They and their complicit friends in the media have completely lost the trust now of half the country.
Now, this is what's the most important part.
Donald Trump won by a landslide, and he has a mandate.
And he now has to have as a top priority to reform these once great Institutions and departments and end the weaponization in America.
Because as conservatives, we believe in our constitution and constitutional order.
We must restore equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws.
We've got to flush out any political bias in places like the DOJ, the FBI, or any intelligence community.
We must restore these departments and agencies to their original missions and their former greatness.
We used the FBI used to be the world's foremost law enforcement agency in the world.
Our intelligence was the best in the world, and they've been politicized.
And that has to end because we as conservatives believe in these principles that what happened to Donald Trump and to Republicans can and never should happen.
To any American, whether you're Republican or Democrat, doesn't matter.
Republicans have got a pledge to never do to Democrats what they did to them.
And that may be hard for some people to swallow.
But if you want constitutional order, that has to be fixed forever and measures put in place so it can never happen again.
And I'm not wrong on this.
We need to, you know, we need to restore these places to greatness.
And anybody that's part of that mission should be able to do their job.
All right, we have a lot of ground to cover with.
We'll check in with the chairman of the all-so important powerful House Judiciary Committee, and that is Jim Jordan of Ohio.
Also, we're going to get an update.
You know, the people in North Carolina still are not getting the help they need.
We'll check in with the uh people of Operation Hilo that have done a phenomenal job.
How do you deal with the 4B women that won't have sex with their husbands, want to divorce their husbands, or shaving their heads and well, stockpiling abortion pills.
Talk to Drew Pinski.
