to your city gonna play our guitars and sing you a country We'll all be tired.
Highland of jail.
And if you want a little bang and you yin yang, come along.
Okay, I know that is to be a spoken, but like, oh well.
The Democrats need to just really the house is literally on fire.
Y'all still looking for the keys.
The damage that the 2024 campaign has done, the damage that this decade has done to the Democratic brand is almost unfathomable.
Well, here's an alternative thought.
Make your own dinner, MAGA.
Make your own sandwiches, wipe your own tears, troll amongst yourselves with Elon and leave us alone.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming.
Go to play out gets all you a conscious song.
Sean Hannity Sean Hannity Show.

Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
A triumphant return to the state where I was born, no longer live and never go to, but I am here today for a great reason.
We are in Long Island.
We are in New York.
We are here for the sixth annual Fox Nation Patriot Awards.
I mean, I'm very humbled by this to be the MC tonight.
It is I can only tell you about this program.
It is it's like an emotional roller coaster.
The people that make this country great.
As a matter of fact, all of you listening to this program, you don't think of yourself that way, but you're part of this category.
You know, what makes America great?
America is great because of its people and who we are as a people.
You know, I know a lot of celebrities think that they make the country great.
Thank God nobody cares what they think or say anymore.
Uh celebrity influence and elections died this election along with the legacy media mob, but you know, you just think about everyday heroes.
You know, think of forget about what you do for a living for a second.
But everybody, whatever business you're in, you have to serve somebody else.
That's the whole purpose of it.
And while you're serving other people, capitalism, the greatest wealth-creating system and ever designed by men, while you're serving other people, you make money.
And you use that money to buy food, to get shelter, to take care of your family, you know, maybe take a vacation once in a while.
Do whatever it is you like to do.
Go out to dinner.
But everybody, in some way, serves everybody else, and and the way capitalism is it's supply and demand crisscrossing and dictating price.
But who are these great people?
The people that get up like all of you every day, that work your ass off, you work hard, you play by the rules, you pay your taxes, you obey the laws, you raise your kids, you put in your 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 hours a day.
You get your kids off to school in the morning, you pack their lunch or give them money for lunch, whatever, whatever you choose, and then you come home and you know, you cook dinner or you order something in, whatever you happen to do that particular day.
Most people cook most of their meals.
Um I'm a person that likes to cook every meal.
The only thing I don't like about ever being on the road is I I like to cook every meal, but that's just me.
It relaxes me.
I have no idea why it relaxes me, but it does relax me.
Separate issue for a separate different day.
But you're the ones that instill values in people in your own children that go to church on Sunday.
Some of you don't.
I'm not judging you if you don't.
I'm saying, but the people that that just are good people.
You know, we have people from all walks of life.
We had a we had a smart lawyer call yesterday.
Well, we have a board that monitors the legal conduct of of attorneys and and if there's a charge against us.
Well, why don't you guys in the media have that?
I think it runs into a free speech complications, and I think the American people are smart enough to know fake news from real news.
And I one of the reasons I would argue that in part the show has been successful and has had longevity, besides my thanks to all of you for listening three hours a day, every day.
That's all I ask.
It's not a lot.
And watch Hannity on TV every night, 9 to 10 PM.
You know, I can't force you to listen.
I cannot force you to watch my TV show.
And the people that were we honor, but you think of the people that pick up your garbage.
I used to explain this to my kids when I said to them, you don't have to wash dishes like your dad.
You don't have to cook like your dad in a restaurant, you know, wash dishes at twelve, deliver papers at eight, you know, cook at before I'm 14 years old, you know, 10 bar weight tables, bus tables, get into construction, roofing, house painting, wallpaper hanging, tile laying, framing, roofing, fell off a roof, hit the ground, became a conservative, knocked some sense into me.
You don't have to do these are your jobs to be a good person, to treat others the way you want to be treated.
Love God with all your heart.
Golden rule.
I had seven specific rules for my son, at about five for my daughter.
Um, and and just the basics in life.
And that's what most Americans do.
Are we a perfect people?
No, I've never met a perfect person.
You know, and I haven't met one.
We've all sinned, fallen short of the glory of God, right?
Then I used to explain to my kids, I'm like, all right, we go to a restaurant.
Do you ever think about all the people that are involved in in getting your meal to the table?
Have you ever thought about that?
You all right, you walk in the restaurant door and there's somebody to greet you.
That person or receptionist, whatever, Matre D, call it whatever you want to call it, they meet you at the door and they say, How many people?
Okay, four people.
All right.
Um I I always say, can I sit in the back?
First thing I like to say.
I like to kind of hide out.
And so you go and somebody will seat you.
And then usually without asking, somebody will come over and put water in your glass when you're there.
And then all of a sudden, uh somebody called a waiter will come over.
And that waiter will then ask you, what would you like to drink?
And you tell the waiter, well, I'd like a Coke, or I'd like a Diet Coke, or I'll take a martini straight up if I had a particularly tough day.
Whatever it happens to be, then that person will go and get the drinks.
And then that person will have to go to a bartender.
The bartender will make the drinks, then the waiter will bring the drinks to the table.
And then when you're done with the drink, they'll take your glass away.
Maybe a bus boy will take it away, maybe the waiter will take it away.
And then you start, then the waiter will ask you, what would you like to eat?
What are your appetizers?
And you tell the waiter.
Then the waiter will bring it back to the kitchen, and then the chef uh or the cook or whoever's working back there, then they're gonna cook that food, put it on a plate, and that waiter's gonna deliver it right to you.
And then when you're done eating that, then in comes the waiter, the busboy, and then they take it away.
These are all people serving other people.
And then anyway, and then your main course comes, the same process occurs.
A cook cooks it, and then the dishes go back and somebody cleans the dishes on top of everything else.
And then anyway, you finish your meal and you leave a tip, you say thank you, depending on your service.
I usually tip well one way or the other because I used to be in the business, I can't help it.
And then when you leave, somebody's gonna clean up your table and they're gonna reset the table.
And the dishwasher will clean those final dishes and final glasses and and whatever silverware is left.
And what's my point here?
Is if if you're talking about a garbage man, and we're all pieces of garbage we learned in the last election.
If you're talking about a nurse, if you're talking about a doctor, if you're talking about a lawyer, if you need a lawyer, if you're talking about uh uh a contractor, if you're talking about somebody that fixes your plumbing, electric, your roof, if it's leaking, you know, you have to serve other people.
And I just think all of us for you know, the word educore from Latin means education to bring forth from within, we all are born with talent.
That that presupposes that God put talent in every individual.
Now, what's the whole lead up to this?
Is you know, if if for whatever reason, all those ten years of my life that I worked in restaurants, nobody ever asked for my autograph or a selfie.
For all those years that I worked in construction and did a good job, I really had a good eye for finish work in particular, and I really liked it, and I was really fast at it, and so I was able to make money at it, not easy to do.
And I kind of enjoyed it.
It's sort of like if you transform a room in a day or two days and you look back on all your work, like it just is a really good feeling.
You accomplish something.
So I think we're all designed.
This is what the Patriot Awards does.
There are so many people that do such good, great work that are unsung heroes.
They're not like Hollywood actors.
This isn't the Academy Awards.
This is not.
This is not the Tony Awards.
This is not the Grammy Awards.
This is not, oh, what designer dresser you're wearing, although Fox is making me get dressed up tonight, which I really don't like.
I wish I didn't have to wear a tux, but just keep that between us, all 25 million of you.
Um it's it's it's people that do great things.
I just saw Frank Siller today from the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
He's dedicated his entire life helping families of the fallen and and those with serious injuries pay off their mortgages and design, you know, smart homes for families.
And so that's what it's about.
Uh we do have a special honoree tonight that is more high profile, but when you think about all that this man has been through, including two assassination attempts, you know, every name in the book, every bit of lawfare and weaponization of justice and having institutions working against them from the second he came down an escalator,
um, and then standing after coming within a millimeter of dying and in his with his bloody face, putting his fist up in the air and saying fight, fight, fight.
Yeah, uh, I think that person, you know, put it all he put it all on the line.
I didn't really want to talk about it much.
It did go through my head a lot.
If you think about this election in these terms, Donald Trump was either going to return to the White House, or Democrats wanted to send him to the big house.
Lawfare would not have stopped.
That judge in Washington, that special prosecutor, they would not have stopped.
They would have kept trying in Florida.
They would have kept trying in in Atlanta.
They would have kept trying in New York.
And thank God the American, and this is the amazing part of this.
The American people saw what was happening at our border.
They knew they were being lied to, they saw what was happening with the economy, they knew they were being lied to.
The American people know that we, you know, shouldn't have to settle as the Washington Post suggests for townhouses.
Although I choose to live in a townhouse, even though I have a much bigger house that I don't want to live in.
You know, that's my choice.
And anyway, uh it just is an amazing thing.
It really is.
The P all of you out there, all you truck drivers, all you farmers, all you ranchers, you feed us all.
You know, if I I cut my finger today and I need stitches, I know I can go, and there's going to be a nurse and a doctor that's going to take care of me.
I mean, that's in every small town and big city around America.
You have someplace to go, God forbid you get hurt, you break a bone, you get stitches.
And we are really blessed to live in this country with the greatest people ever.
You know, capitalism, for all the criticism the left gives it, it is the greatest wealth-producing system ever designed by mankind.
It's these are not words to me when I say that I believe that the United States of America is the greatest country that God ever gave man.
And what is so interesting and exciting to me as a conservative is this can be the most transformational Period that maybe comes along every hundred years.
If Donald Trump fulfills his promise, if he secures that border, if he throws out those known terrorists, those gang members, cartel members, prevents drugs from coming into our country.
If he's able to get rid of the murderers, the rapists, and the other violent criminals, that's huge.
If he brings back law and order and safety and security to every town and every city, that would be huge.
This is his promise.
If he can get our economy back and running so that people can afford to buy a home, or maybe they've been waiting.
They don't want to give up their their 2.9% 30-year fixed rate mortgage, you know, for a 7.5% 30-year fixed rate mortgage.
You know what?
That would be great for the country.
We have all of these natural energy resources in this country.
We have more natural gas, more oil, more coal than the Middle East combined.
And we should be supplying our Western European allies, not Vladimir Putin.
And we will be an energy rich nation.
And then to think about returning to constitutional order and limiting the size, the scope, the influence of government in our day-to-day lives and eliminating waste and fraud and abuse, and then returning America to the leader on the world stage where Canada's afraid of us, Mexico's afraid of us, Iran is afraid of us, China's afraid of us, Putin's afraid of us, Zelensky wants a deal, Hezbollah wants a deal, Hamas wants a deal.
It's like the Trump effect.
It's the difference between strength and weakness.
And this is what defines this country.
And this is why, you know, it doesn't think that Elon and Vivek want two trillion dollars in cuts to the federal government is unbelievably spectacular.
Anyway, 800-94-1 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, the insane left.
Remember this woman Taylor, what's her name?
Lorenz.
She was formerly with the Washington Post, New York Times.
I mean, she's almost like celebrating the assassination of this United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
And here's what's really sick.
All over social media, and we'll play some of it later.
Um, people are celebrating this.
Now, go back to what the NYPD commissioner said uh by saying the shooting was not a random act of violence.
Instead, it had all of the hallmarks of an assassination.
I want to be clear, at this time, every indication is that this was premeditated, pre-planned, a targeted attack.
Did you not see the pictures?
Did you not see it?
Because the guy came up, identified him, and just, you know, it was like an old-time mafia hit job, man.
It was this is old school goodfellows, crazy stuff.
And people, and this woman used to work for the Washington Post and New York Times.
They picked some real winners over there.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back and we'll hit the other news of the day.
Blanket pardons for anybody that ever said anything bad against Donald Trump.
Next.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we are in Long Island, New York for the sixth annual Fox Nation Patriot Awards.
Uh I have the honor, and I mean this to me, it's an honor to MC tonight.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
We honor some amazing Americans and also uh the 45th and 47th president of our country, Donald Trump, will be the recipient of the Patriot of the Year Award.
Uh it's a really special night.
I hope you can tune in Fox Nation.
It starts at 8 p.m.
Look, when financial times are tough like right now because of Harris and Biden, uh, a lot of people can't buy a new car.
You can't buy a newer used car, and that means you're putting more and more miles on your current car, and every mile you put on your car, you're increasing the odds that you're gonna have uh some expensive repair.
Have you looked at the cost of parts and labor recently?
It's insane.
Uh, for a lot of people, that small inconvenience could be a massive financial headache.
What if your engine blows, your transmission blows, electronics?
Oh my gosh, fixing electronics is so expensive.
Anyway, that's where CarShield comes in.
And this is a great company.
That's all there is to it.

Really, really interesting exchange.
We'll get into more details later.
I am, I, I am still furious, not at rank and file Secret Service agents.
I've gotten to know many of them over the years, many of them.
And these are incredible people.
They're willing to die to protect others.
And they're willing to put their life on the line for the people that they are they are to protect.
It's amazing.
And anyway, what happened in Butler PA is unforgivable to me.
And then on top of that, the lie that they told, oh, is a slope roof.
We couldn't have a sniper on the roof.
That is a complete lie.
So we decided to put people on the inside of the building.
Well, the people on the inside of that building couldn't see anyone on the outside of that building that might climb on top of that roof, which wasn't sloped at all, and take a shot at Donald Trump, the leading candidate for the to be the next president.
And got within 130 yards.
It's insane.
They just flat out lied about it.
Anyway, then we get an interim Secret Service director, and his name is Ronald Rowe.
And then we had another would-be assassin that got within 300 yards of Donald Trump with an AK-47 and a scope.
Now, both in Butler PA, if anybody knows anything about shooting, and that's 130 yards, 300 yards.
It is like a layup.
It's a tap-in putt if you want a golf analogy.
It is basically crossing the plane when there's no defense on the one-yard line.
It's that simple.
And it's a miracle that Donald Trump was not assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania.
And then you would think after that incident that they would have upped their security to the right standards.
They did not.
Now, at Trump International, which is in Palm Beach, Florida, my home state, um, I'm in New York today.
But at Trump International, it there are holes, certain holes that are surrounded by bushes.
And this these are areas known where paparazzi hang out in to take pictures and videos of Donald Trump and the people he's with playing golf.
And they never swept the area.
And so now we have, after she was finally embarrassed into resigning, we have this interim Secret Service or Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe.
You know, he came out and he said, well, the plan worked.
Like, how do you define worky that the guy didn't get a shot off?
I mean, thank God, one rank and file.
You know, just caught, You know, a flash of this guy in the bushes and took the shot before the guy shot Donald Trump.
I mean, Donald Trump was a sitting duck.
And it is to me, again, unforgivable.
And like a lot of agencies, institutions in Washington, we need to start rebuilding them.
And he and when he said the plan worked, I I I I wanted to scream.
And I have friends that are in the Secret Service.
They're disgusted by this.
And they want leadership.
And they know they need the resources available to protect.
And by the way, this just transcends politics.
I don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican, you're a presidential candidate, you're a president, you're a vice president, any elected officials under threat, needs protection.
Period.
End of sentence.
Politics means nothing to me on this.
So anyway, he was up on Capitol Hill earlier today, and man, they got into a shouting match.
Pat Fallon, Congressman, heated exchange with the acting director.
Listen to this.
So actually, Congressman, what you're not seeing is the sack of the detail off out of the picture's view.
And that is the day where we remember the more than 3,000 people that have died on 9-11.
I actually responded to Ground Zero.
I was there going through the ashes at the World Trade Center.
I was there at Fresh Kills.
I'm not asking you that.
I'm asking you Congressman.
What's not for a secret service member that died on 9 11?
You're trying to be do not invoke 9 11 for political purposes.
Oh, I'm not.
I'm invoking this.
You are, sir.
You are out of it.
I would like to ask him a question.
Please, don't try to call me.
Elected member of Congress, and I'm asking you a serious question.
And you were talking about it.
I am a public servant who has served this nation and you won't answer questions.
On our day, on our country's Mr. Committee will come to order.
The committee will come to order.
I'm asking you serious questions for the American people, and they're very simple.
They're not true questions.
Were you the special agent in charge that time?
Oh, I wasn't.
I was there representing the United States Secret Service, sir.
Mr. Fallon, your time's expired.
It did not affect protective operations.
No, you were there!
You wanted to be visible because you are listening for this guy.
You endangered a lot of Congressman.
Vice President's life because you are put you put those agents out of position.
No, I did, sir.
And you are out of line.
Mr. Chairman.
Yes, sir.
Please.
All right.
We are back in order now.
We're back in order now.
Thank you.
I hate to tell you, but the Congressman's right.
I maybe maybe could have delivered it in a better way, but when you talk about you put the president's life in danger.
And he did.
And then he lied about it.
Just like the the predecessor of this guy, Roe, a woman by the name of uh, what was her name?
Kimberly Cheadle.
She put the president's life in jeopardy too.
And then lied about it.
And then he said the plan worked.
There's something radically wrong.
And now we have Iranian assassination squads in the country.
Now I can tell you where this event is tonight in Long Island, the Fox Nation Patriot Awards that I'm seeing.
Let me tell you something.
This is probably the safest place on earth right now.
So maybe they're learning.
I don't know.
I mean, but we've got to protect our president.
What about when he goes to see Macron and goes to France and the reopening of Notre Dame?
Is he going to be fully protected there?
Scary times.
I want to know that our our president, our president-elect is protected.
Um a lot of politics going on, a lot of anger and resentment and fear among Democrats.
It's it's ironic to watch, and Laura Trump was very, very clear about this in an interview she gave on on Fox with Bill Hammer earlier today.
And uh and and Hemmer was pointing out this article article in Politico today, headline, Biden White House is discussing preemptive pardons for those in the Trump crosshairs.
Now, let me jump to what Laura Trump said.
And And she said rumors that President Biden is now considering issuing a number of preemptive pardons ahead of Trump's inauguration.
Anyway, so Bill Hammer cites the political article.
And well, Bill, Donald Trump himself said that success will be his revenge.
If there's anyone who understands how egregious it is to have the political by politicizing our system against one individual, it's Donald Trump.
And I think one of the reasons that the people of this country overwhelmingly came out and supported him is because they want to be able to trust these fundamental institutions like our Department of Justice again.
And I would include the FBI needs to return to its former greatness.
Our intelligence communities as well.
They can't be politicized.
He does not plan on retribution.
I quoted often Eric Trump in the Daily Mail article interview that he gave.
This is prior to the election, saying the same thing.
He does not have a plan for retribution.
He plans on restoring trust and faith of the American people into so many of these foundational elements of our country.
And so I would say, look, if anyone has done anything wrong, then maybe you should be worried, not because of Donald Trump, because you've broken the law.
And what do we hear from liberals all the time?
We must abide by the rule of law, even as they were weaponizing the Department of Justice, even though the FBI's been politicized, etc.
Anyway, so Biden's aides now are deeply concerned that what they did to Trump might be done to them.
Now I don't want Republicans doing that.
I want to restore constitutional order.
I don't want a weaponized Justice Department.
I want to focus on borders, law and order, on energy, the economy, on restoring American greatness around the world and peace and safety and stability and support for allies like Israel.
I want to make sure that we fight for the things that are important, like, oh, let's see, hypersonic missile technology that China and Russia has that we don't have.
I want to make sure that we have the meanest, toughest badass military on the face of this planet, and nobody can keep up with us.
That's called deterrence.
Anyway, uh apparently they're mentioning a lot of names.
The congenital liar, Adam Schiff is one.
Uh Congress former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, number two, because Donald Trump said Cheney should go to jail.
Well, they did a how did all the January 6th committee, you know, made for television series, primetime series, predetermined outcome.
How come all those that information just magically disappeared?
I would like to know what took place behind the scenes.
If anybody did anything wrong, I think we should uncover it.
Congressman Andy Biggs is eyeing a subpoena for Hunter Biden.
And, you know, he said he might call Hunter before the House Judiciary Committee after Biden's uh pardoning of him.
Uh he does not have the right to plead the fifth now that he got a full unconditional pardon.
Uh, but there are other family members that I think are in trouble.
And then there's got you got Joe himself.
Although maybe the statute of limitations is passed, but he leveraged a billion taxpayer dollars, said you're not getting the money unless you fire the prosecutor that he knew was investigating his son and the company that was paying him millions when he was a drug addict that had no experience at all whatsoever in oil energy, gas or Ukraine.
Anyway, the the piece goes on to point out these West Wing deliberations are very, very real, and that there may be a whole lot of other pardons coming.
And so they're calling him preemptive pardons.
And anyway, this would be pretty extraordinary, handing out blanket pardons to those that they say committed no crimes, both because it could suggest impropriety, only fueling Trump's criticisms, and because those offered preemptive pardons may reject them.
We'll see what happens.
I don't think Liz Cheney's reject rejecting anything.
There's my prediction if she's given one.
John Solomon points out newly revealed emails show House Democrats were warded the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed that unarmed January 6th protester.
You remember the name, Ashley Babbitt.
House Democrats pressured the U.S. Capitol Police to provide special financial assistance, even a promotion to the officer who fatally shot Ashley Babbitt.
Now, a lot's gonna come of Donald Trump.
He has said those people that did not commit acts of violence on January 6th is he's gonna pardon them.
Why were they sentenced to five years in jail?
Doesn't it seem like a little excessive?
Anyway, the DOJ has uh is briefing the House GOP on an internal inquiry into Jack Smith and possible misconduct allegations.
They recently briefed the House Judiciary about an internal investigation they opened into Jack Smith's office.
I want to know what the hell's going on.
What did he do?
You know, I mean, we've got to get to the bottom of it, but we also, you know, you can walk and shoot gum at the same time.
And what we've got to do is we've got to make sure we stay focused on getting the country back on track.
It's not weaponization if these people abused their power if they were not fulfilling their obligation and their duty of equal justice and equal application of our laws.
That's that's just plain and simple.
All right, as we continue, we are in Long Island.
We are, well, my triumphant return to New York for the sixth annual Fox Nation Patriot Awards.
Donald Trump, Patriot of the Year.
We honor unsung heroes throughout the night.
It's an emotional roller coaster you don't want to miss.
Uh, when we come back, how about when we have natural disasters like Hurricane Helene, instead of having Americans in tents, why is Joe Biden giving, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars away to places like Ukraine and Angola and everywhere else around the world?
