| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
this is an iheart podcast We'll all be dying.
I live in a jail.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
How are you seeing it?
He's not president yet.
I mean, I are you advising another Hitler?
Is that what you're saying?
That's exactly what I'm saying.
As a country, it's very difficult for people to believe that racism and misogyny they're just alive and well.
What a shocker that the people who see everything through the lens of race and sex see their election loss as a result of racism and sexism.
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 The new Sean Hannity Show More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
It's 800 941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, you know, it's amazing to me that so many people, the especially legacy media, don't even realize that this has been a referendum election on them.
They have spent nine years demonizing, attacking, slandering, smearing, besmirching, doing everything possible to Donald J. Trump.
The deep state, the Department of Justice weaponized.
We had J we had James Comey, 51 former Intel agents.
We had Pfizer Abuse.
All of this has gone on.
And the American people, they would they heard it every second, every minute, every hour of every 24 hour hour day, every week, every every year for nine years.
And the American people don't trust the major newspapers in this country anymore.
That would be the Washington Post, the New York Times, the LA Times, USA Today.
They don't care what they say.
They don't care what is said on CBS, NBC, ABC.
They don't care what these late night comics think.
They don't care what the ladies of the view think.
They don't care about celebrity endorsements anymore.
And the American people, and this was this there's a new poll that came out by John McLaughlin, and it talked about, you know, the post-election issues and what what propelled Donald Trump for victory.
Most people voted for Donald Trump.
And a lot of people that voted for Kamell voted just against against Donald Trump.
But it was his stand on the economy and inflation.
That was 21% of the reason why he won.
13%.
You know, his promise to save the country and to fix the mess that he's gonna inherit and his good job record all contributed to this massive win of the popular vote, the electoral college vote.
Again, we have not had a Republican win the the popular vote since 2004.
Anyway, he's not been back on since then.
He wrote a terrific column about this.
New Gingrich is with us.
And it's the Trump American culture versus the elite culture, which I think really captures why celebrity endorsements are dead and meaningless.
Legacy media is dead and meaningless and has no impact.
And even former politicians, Barack Obama, former First Ladies, Michelle Obama, you know, Beyonce, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift.
It doesn't matter in the minds of people.
But Donald Trump shows up at Madison Square Garden with Dana White and Kid Rock.
Well, seemed to matter there, because the place was rocking.
Anyway, Mr. Speaker, great to have you back.
You called this from the beginning.
Glad you're with us.
Well, I was fascinated by the reception at the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
And by the picture that was taken in the airplane of five of them eating McDonald's.
And it hit me all of a sudden.
By the way, did you sit did you see RFK Jr.'s face?
Like McDonald's.
Well, I don't like McDonald's.
Well, and I thought Don Jr. had a great tweet when he said, okay, being healthy starts tomorrow.
That is a great tweet.
By the way, it's not going to happen for Donald Trump because if you know him, he loves McDonald's.
By the way, so do I, I just don't eat it.
Well, and he's looking, and he's also got some amazing genetic pattern that allows him to have endless energy and to uh eat uh McDonald's on a regular basis.
But but what hit me all of a sudden that came together for me was that America loves sports.
And we love sports in an extraordinary range.
Uh the NFL routinely is the highest rated TV show.
Uh you know, the final four in basketball.
I mean, just go down the list.
Um, and that the left doesn't understand.
In fact, my my newsletter at Gangership 60 tomorrow is gonna build on that theme and point out that sports has a value set that is the exact opposite of the left.
That, you know, sports, for example, believes in winning and losing.
They believe in hard work.
They believe if you do lose, get up off the floor and go back and keep, you know, keep trying.
Um it's it's essentially a meritocracy, uh, and it is the exact opposite of the left.
Uh, and I think that that's uh what you we've had when people talk about this cultural divide, they usually mean sort of at a Harvard fancy music and fancy book level.
But what you actually have is a cultural divide between probably seventy to eighty percent of the American people who basically believe in the core values of competitive sports, and about fifteen to twenty percent who don't.
That th those are the folks at Harvard, for example, who gave students a day off to mourn when Trump uh won the election.
Uh or the I think it was Georgetown that provided a a a comfort room with uh warm milk and cookies.
Um, you know, that's totally anathetical to people who believe that you go out, you try your heart out, you do the best you can.
If you don't win this year, you come back next year and and you keep trying.
Uh and uh I think what Trump came to personify was a return to an America that is muscular, that is committed to winning, that's prepared to take on big challenges, uh, and that w wants the American people to have a chance to do great things, not just the government.
And I think it's uh it's truly a watershed election made made that way, as you point out, because it's the culmination of a nine year struggle in which the entire national establishment tried to destroy him, and they failed.
And the American people propped him up, rallied to him, uh, and because it's not just about Trump himself, it's also about uh these millions and millions of people who saw him as the future.
It's amazing you did have gr great confidence going into this election, and I was asking you privately and I was asking you on the air why you were so confident.
Um I thought I agree I I d I agreed with you.
What gave me confidence that I and I didn't lie to this audience because I never will lie to the audience or else I'll be like legacy media and they'll never trust me.
But I didn't want to highlight what well it was a phenomenon that was going on during early voting.
And that was and and I had harped on this for four years, and that is you gotta bank your vote.
It may not be the system we like, but it if you want to change the system, you gotta actually win elections.
So he I was all day long, I was I was checking in with people on the ground in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and in areas where she would have needed record turnout, the numbers weren't there.
They weren't even close to there.
And I knew it was over.
And anyway, I mean uh I I am grateful to this audience for for many people doing something they didn't want to do.
And look, I think it was very important because as the Roosevelt coalition is being replaced by the Trump coalition.
We now have the people least likely to vote, uh, which is what the Democrats used to have.
And so being able to target and focus on those folks, get them to understand that you've got to go out there and vote if you want the kind of future you believe in, and if you want to stop the people who frankly scare you about the future they would create.
And I think it did work, and I I could tell I've very good friend who's in the Black Mountain, North Carolina, right in the heart of the mountain region that had been hammered by the hurricane.
And he said, trust me, if these people have to walk over glass, they're gonna go vote.
That they're so angry about how bad FEMA is, they're so angry at Biden and Harris that nothing is gonna stop them from voting.
He even if they have to walk to the polls because the bridge is out and they can't take their car.
And he was right.
Just staggering.
And that was happening all over the country.
Uh and you also see and this happened with Reagan.
About two weeks out, people who kept telling the pollsters they were undecided, said, okay, I gotta make a decision.
And all they had to say themselves was, you know, am I better off than I was four years ago?
I've experienced Trump and now I've experienced Biden Harris.
Which one do I want for the next four years?
And at that point, by very big margins, they were breaking for Trump and against against Harris.
Uh and I think the elite media look, they can't come to grips with this because it is them.
I mean, this they would literally have to have a personality change uh and and probably a brain replacement, uh, because uh what's being repudiated here is the New York Times.
You you saw the numbers on MSNBC, which by the way apparently may be sold and have its name changed.
Uh you've seen the collapse of of numbers of CNN.
The only cable news that has grown since the election is Fox, uh and I think that's because uh people have just broken away from the left and have decided that uh that that's not a world they want to hear from anymore.
They also trust us.
We tell them the truth.
We pointed out the truth about the economy, about immigration.
All right, quick break more with former speaker of the House, New King Rich.
Then your call's coming up 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
All right, we can continue now or post-election analysis.
Former Speaker of the House New Gingrich is with us.
In my lifetime, there have been three big waves of of the conservative movement.
Reagan was one, you gave me a front row seat to the new Kingrich Revolution, and I've had a front row seat with Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is really going into Washington this time with the idea that he is going to change Washington at its core.
And he's gonna get rid of all the waste fraud and abuse and restore constitutional order and the principles of limited government and greater freedom.
You were the last person to balance the budget.
You did it four times.
And my question for you is you know, if Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy can they really cut one point nine trillion dollars or two trillion dollars in spending?
I believe they can, but I think that the left is gonna freak out.
when Donald Trump starts deporting people, they're gonna freak out.
I just wrote a piece for the New York Sun pointing out that Eisenhower deported over a million people in 1954.
I mean, we we have had this long-running challenge, we know how to do it.
It's it is gonna happen.
I think you you know the trick is you you foc first of all you get the border under total control.
Second, you focus on criminals.
Everybody's gonna applaud.
And then you focus on unaccompanied males.
Thirty-five percent of the illegal immigrants are males between eighteen and forty, uh, who have no attachments, they have no family, uh, there's no reason we have to tolerate them being here.
Uh so by the time you get done with with all of that, you've deported probably seven or eight million people.
You haven't touched children, you haven't touched families, uh, and and then you you can work your way through all this.
At the same time, I would urge we have to be very pro-legal immigration.
The American people actually have they actually support legal immigration by the same margin that they oppose illegal immigration.
And so you can't become the anti the immigrant party, you have to be the anti illegal immigrant party and the pro-legal immigrant party.
What did you make of Matt Gates' announcement today that he was withdrawing from consideration from AG?
Uh he decided to do it.
Um what was your reaction?
And by the way, this kind of happens in every administration, doesn't it?
Sure.
Yeah, I look I he's Trump is gonna make twenty or thirty big appointments, and two or three of them aren't gonna work out.
Uh and this is the first one not to work out.
I think what happened was uh Gates felt he was being very clever uh by resigning early, and it didn't occur to him that if you then become nominated for a major job like this, everything's gonna come out.
It's it is impossible to go through the Senate without everything coming out.
And I suspect last night he realized that he would never survive if all this information came out.
And so, you know, he he did the right thing.
I I thought it would take them another week.
Uh in that sense, I think they reacted faster and smarter than I thought they might.
Uh, but again, you know, I don't fully understand what President Trump was trying to achieve.
Sometimes you need to vet people, even if you like them.
You need to have opposition research to come in and say, Well, here's what you here's what we're gonna go through before you name them.
And but this has been true in every administration, and you just have to live it out.
Yeah, I and I uh th I I hope that a lot of the other people get through.
I really do, because I think he's made some great choices.
And um anyway, the names I'm hearing are are names that will be far less controversial, but very, very strong, effective candidates.
Uh, and and we'll wait watch and see what happens there.
Uh well, I'm sure you feel happy.
I think for the country, this is probably our one opportunity to really restore constitutional order, to shake up the system in its core, return to limited government, and get rid of waste, fraud, and abuse.
I hope we do it.
You think we will?
Yeah, I think we will, and I think look uh if if if they message it correctly, and Trump is a genius in messaging.
Do the Democrats really want to be the pro-waste, pro-corruption, pro-bureaucracy party.
Are they really going to stand firmly in line and say no to everything that Vivake uh and Elon Musk come up with?
Uh I don't think so.
I think in the end they're gonna realize that they've got to go along with this.
I will tell you, and we'll talk about this in future weeks.
The great concern I have is how we keep the house in 2026.
That will be the crisis of the Trump Revolution.
If we keep it, then I think we're in for a long, long period of governing.
If we lose it and we're faced with a democratic majority in the House, uh, we have a real challenge, and it's it's gonna be tough.
I have an idea that I will run by you off air in the days to come.
Great.
Lucky you.
That means you get another phone call from me.
How annoying is that.
No, I love it.
We've had a long partnership, and we actually occasionally have done good.
Occasionally, that's true.
Uh, Mr. Speaker, thank you, and thanks for all your work to make what happened this election day happen.
You've been a voice of common sense and reason the entire way as usual.
Thank you.
Well, thank you.
You're a national treasure.
I 25 till the top of the hour.
Uh 800 nine four one show us on number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh sad story down here in the great state, the free state of of Florida, actually so heartbreaking on so many different levels.
And I got a text this morning from a friend of mine.
He runs a moving company.
It's called Blue Line Moving.
Yeah, blue line, meaning they support the police.
And uh they have confirmed and he he sent me a copy of this.
It just broke my heart, uh, that law enforcement, at least three Palm Beach County deputies were involved in a major crash, uh, and then later informed me that all three deputies passed.
Can you imagine what it's like for these families?
They I mean, they are they are devastated at this moment.
Absolutely, positively devastated.
That brings up the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
And your generosity helps these families after this terrible loss.
You can't bring back loved ones.
Hazen Point police sergeant Christopher David Fitzgerald of Temple University Police Department sustained fatal gunshot wounds while attempting to arrest a robbery suspect.
Now, prior to his premature passing, Christopher was nominated for Temple University Police Department officer of the Year.
Now sadly it is an award that he were to receive post death.
And Christopher was a great father, husband, brother, son, very missed, and thanks to your generosity, your caring, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, do what they do best.
They were able to provide mortgage free, a mortgage free home to his wife Marissa, their five children, all in honor of their forever hero.
Uh he will be remembered by many for his passion, determination, like so many in law enforcement.
So many in that serve this country and protect our country.
And anyway, it's it's unbelievable dedication.
And he's going to be remembered for doing all of that, improving conditions for residents in the surrounding community.
And it's heroes like Christopher that protect and serve our communities, our country that you will be helping if you'll join us here at Team Hannity, and just commit if you can to eleven dollars a month.
If you do, if everyone listening to my voice does, they can continue this great work because it's really great work.
The letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org for the tunnel to Towers Foundation.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Joanne is in the free state of Florida with me.
How are you, Joanne?
Glad you called.
I'm great, Sean.
It's a pleasure to talk to you and thank you for taking my call.
Thank you for calling.
Hope you're doing okay.
Um you don't you don't you feel bad for our friends that are now experiencing the cold weather in places like New York New York, New Jersey, Illinois.
I feel terrible for him.
I don't they choose to be there and I choose to be here.
Exactly.
No, I uh by the way, I'm I I do rib my friends a lot, and they're like, ha ha ha, very funny.
When I hear it's a really cold day or a big snowstorm, I'm like, how's that snow shoveling coming?
By the way, it's sunny, eighty-two degrees today.
Yeah, it helps build muscles.
Exactly.
What's on your mind?
I wanted to just mention this because I haven't heard his name in a long time.
But I think of Rush Limbaugh, and I just think that if he were here now with us to have uh enjoyed this wonderful victory that we're experiencing, he would be jumping for joy and doing a little dance.
Uh I think he's looking down on all of us, and the that that he is smiling with talent on loan from God.
Um, and he is, you know, now where he rightfully belongs, where we all end up eventually.
And you know, I said at the time of his passing, I was right then, I'm right now.
Nobody can ever replace the babe Ruth of Talk Radio.
He just can't.
Absolutely.
And you know, and what he would want us to do, and this I was certain.
He would want us to double our efforts and do the work that he he dedicated and devoted his whole life to.
And that was his passion, his love of country, his belief in liberty, freedom, God, individualism, meritocracy over statism, socialism.
Uh, and he would be extraordinarily happy for the country.
You know, I I I've gone through different stages since the election.
Uh first, my my first reaction was just utter relief and gratitude to every American and and God that this this disaster didn't occur.
Because it would have been a disaster.
The next phase where I am now is like I'm rolling I'm having to roll up our sleeves and let's fix everything stage.
I want to do all that.
I will tell you this.
Um Rush's brother David has represented me my entire career.
Rush's niece is my personal assistant, and and she is uh just an amazing human being.
And um I love the fact that she was so young, she never knew a lot of her uncle's career, and I I will show her things at times, and she's like blown away.
And just funny moments, you know, in Russia's career.
There was a moment where he he guest hosted the Pat Sajak show.
And uh it ends up that these people act up was a big group of the time.
They show up, they interrupt the show.
He had to close the show, the audience had to leave.
And I'm sure it wasn't fun for him at the time, but looking back on it, he that was who he was.
And and and they people would bubble and fizz and react to him in ways that just crack me up.
And there was nobody like him, and they never will be again.
I mean, he really was in a very special he was a great patriot and a special talented broadcaster that we can all aspire to.
Well, I agree with you, and you know, he was humorous in a lot of ways.
You just had to get it.
But uh I just wanted to take this up.
By the way, people would get mad when he'd say, talent on loan from God.
I mean, so he'd say that, and he and they'd say it was blasphemous.
I'm like, it's not blasphemous.
Are you really that stupid?
He's saying that any of it any any talent he has came from God.
Right.
It was so funny.
I mean, if you weren't in on in on the joke, I mean, like the left, they're so humorless.
It was it was really useful.
He's it was just a special show.
Well, I don't want to start bashing the left, but I agree completely with many many of the things that you have uh promoted, and really I've only started paying attention to politics since um Donald Trump became involved, you know, in uh 2015.
Um most of my adult life I was like busy doing my own thing, so I wasn't paying attention, but I know all the players now and I know everything.
But I just wanted to bring his name up.
I just wanted to uh have people remember him and just think about how how uh happy he would be and how um exuberant and and uh just he'd be despiking the football like Linda every second of every day.
He'd be spiking it, you know.
And and more important, but I also believe he would see this as I do, and and he would express it obviously in his own unique way, and that is as the biggest greatest opportunity we now have in our lifetimes to literally embrace the principles of limited government and greater freedom and constitutional order.
I mean, this this is it.
This is probably the only chance we'll get.
And the one thing we have in Donald Trump as a president that is not afraid to rock things and shake up things And uh and that's what he's doing.
And that's what he's gonna do.
And he'll be successful.
I really believe that.
And we'll and by the way, he's gonna need our help.
And when that moment comes, I will deputize everybody again and tell everybody call your senator, call your congressman.
Make sure that they vote the right way here.
Those moments are coming, I promise.
Anyway, God bless you, Joanne.
I appreciate your call.
Thank you.
800 941 Sean, our number Jack at North Carolina.
Jack, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
How are you doing, Sean?
Big fan.
How are you doing, buddy?
I'm good, man.
How are you?
What's going on?
Good.
Yeah, I just wanted to call and let you know that I'm one of them dirty, smelly Walmart truck drivers that's been out here driving in uh I've predicted weeks before the election, like I sent out.
I don't even know if you called a tweet or sent an ex David Webb and Megan Kelly way before the election that Donald Trump would get over three electoral votes.
I think the truck drivers should be pollsters.
We we know more about going on in the country than uh these guys that do the polls.
I mean, you drive around, you can tell when you're in a liberal city, when you're in a conservative town or whatever, by just looking at the yard signs, and uh it'd be to me it was a no-brainer.
I knew he was gonna win in a landslide.
Well, you know, it's interesting you say that.
First of all, uh no, you happen to be a great American, and we wouldn't have a single thing to buy in any store if it wasn't for America's Truckers.
And we have to thank our truckers, we have to thank our ranchers, we have to thank our farmers, you know, the the people the un the unsung heroes, which by the way, is what the Patriot Awards are all about.
And I get to host it this year.
If you go to FoxNation.com, I hope people in the New York area will get tickets.
I'm even going back to New York for a day to do it.
Um, which for me is like a big heavy lift.
That's the only that's the only part I I'm honored to do it.
I really am.
And I do anything because we honor unsung heroes like you, and you're one of them.
The people that work hard, play by the rules, pay their taxes, obey the laws, raise their kids, go to church on Sunday, you know, and and deserve a better life and not have to have to settle for a townhouse as the Washington Post was suggesting suggesting.
Trucking has been in a terrible recession.
I have friends in your industry.
I know the industry well.
And guess what?
Help is on the way.
Diesel prices will be down.
I I I predict to you right now, a year from now, the price of diesel will be a lot lower than what it is today.
And that'll help out all truckers, and hopefully a lot of that money will be in your pocket.
A lot of money will help save consumers.
If you lower the cost of transportation, that means that they can lower prices at the store and we'll all benefit.
So I wish you the best.
And next time next next election cycle, call in and give us your predictions, okay?
No problem, Sean.
Another thing that's uh like to us as far as truckers go, the secretary of transportation is an important role.
And uh I just wish that whoever takes that position understands trucking the way with the hours of service and everything else like that.
I mean, I have never really heard anybody talk about the fact that not only the trucks use diesel fuel, but now we also have what they call diesel exhaust fluid that has to be filled up into the trucks also, thanks to Obama back when he was president, which is an additional cost that gets filled in to um to your fuel expense.
It's unbelievable.
And and pothole Pete spending what, a billion taxpayer dollars on on making roads less racist.
I'm like, huh?
What are you talking about?
And I don't know.
These said, thank God we won this election.
Anyway, Jack, you're you're one of the people that makes uh makes uh this country great.
Thank you for all you do every day.
Appreciate it.
Uh let's go out to California.
Say hi to Stephen next on the Sean Hannity show.
Hey Stephen, how are you?
I'm well, Sean.
Thank you so much for taking my call, sir.
I really appreciate uh everything you do.
Just listening to you day in and day out and all these beautiful people that come together to your show just reinforces how great America is and how great our country is.
Um what good people we have and uh how much we care about our country.
We really are a good people.
We're not a per look, we're not perfect people.
We never have been.
Uh, but we strive to be a better people.
That's what Christianity teaches us.
The first thing you're admitting is you're you're a sinner, a failure, and you're seeking to be better, you're seeking redemption, you're seeking repentance, which comes from the Latin to have to have a change of heart so you are a better person.
All that's true.
Yes, sir.
Which brings you to the point.
It's sir, do you think you put up the names of those officers?
Um, ever since Trump uh that bullet just missed them.
I found my way back to God.
I'm trying to pray more often.
I like to pray for those officers if I do their names.
You know what?
Well, we will put that up.
Linda, would you put that up on our website?
Uh I know from my friend that runs the moving company um that something is gonna happen soon.
And when that does, I'll make sure I make it front and center on my website.
That's a great idea.
Okay.
Uh and then uh uh I wanted to get to my point.
It's kind of uh funny quizzes and I appreciate you taking this call.
Um I I know you know Mark Levin, and I know Trump and Trump knows him.
I know you guys all have a good relationship.
Thank me.
God bless us.
Hello, America.
Mark Levin here.
Mr. Producer, man.
Number five.
Get off my phone, you big dope.
I I love him.
Uh I'll say it.
Nobody else will say it.
There, I said it.
I use great.
Uh my my suggestion is that.
By the way, could you imagine Life, Liberty, and Levin and Levin's radio show of Kamala One?
Could you imagine?
Uh he would lose his mind.
Um at you, sir.
Um Maybe Biden was right.
Maybe you're a bunch of garbage.
He used to be our our attorney general.
I mean, he has experience.
Who who would take him on and outsmart him?
I mean, this man needs nobody smarter.
Uh uh Mark was actually the chief of staff for Edmise.
A lot of people don't remember that back in the era, the Reagan era.
Um I I look I Mark's one of my dearest friends in the world, I think the world of him, and he's one of the smartest guys I know, and I just know him, and he's very dedicated, committed to his shows, and you know, it would it would I just don't think it would be practical for him at this point in his life.
Uh he just had a pretty severe operation, and he's he's in full recovery mode, thank God he's gonna be okay.
And uh but I mean he's gonna be there w the the work that Mark does on the air to me is more vital than any role he'd be able to fill in in the administration.
That that's just my my own humble opinion.
He's that impactful, he's that smart, he's that good.
Uh as uh I'm I'm sure the president is gonna get a good attorney general.
Um I think he uh Matt Gates told me personally, he said my odds are like twenty percent, twenty-five percent.
He knew going in.
He didn't he didn't want to be a distraction for the president.
Um and you know, obviously this report was gonna be difficult for him and his family, and I think that uh I understand why he did it.
That's a s I totally get it.
And by the way, it's it's kind of par for the course.
This is all part of what happens when a new administration comes in.
Uh anyway, 800 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, quick break.
We'll come right back.
More of your calls straight ahead, toll free.
It's eight hundred nine four one Sean as we continue.
