Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Starting on day one, we'll implement a rapid series of bold reforms to restore our nation to full prosperity.
We're going to go full prosperity.
Carmel Harris.
She always served this country with purpose and integrity, and she always will.
And you're not going anywhere, kid, because we're not going to let you go.
And I ask you to remember the context in which you exist.
Yeah, I did that.
Uh-huh.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a country song.
Sean Hennedy, the new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
And thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
We'd love to have you be a part of the program.
It is 800-941 Sean.
If you'd like to join us, well, first, Biden allows he knows Doge, the government efficiency department that is being headed up by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, plans to insist that government workers start showing up at work, not work remote.
And Biden just does a five-year deal with tens of thousands of federal employees so that they can continue to work from home.
Again, to undermine Donald Trump.
He's been trying to undermine him every step of the way.
We see it with the escalation in the war in Ukraine, the war in the Middle East.
He's firing missiles into Syria.
You know, now things have gotten bad as it relates to this conflict with Ukraine already suffering, you know, withering Russian missile attacks that have left half the country without electricity.
It looks like the decision by Ukrainian officials to assassinate a top Russian general on the streets of Moscow is about to result in a punishing retaliation.
And all of this is being done knowing that Donald Trump has very different plans when he gets into office.
It is to undermine.
It is to sabotage.
The latest with China is no surprises.
Joe wants to.
Why do I suspect that when it comes to China, the Joe Biden and the Biden family syndicate is is compromised.
I just think they are.
I mean, that damning WhatsApp message, I'm sitting here next to my father, and between everybody he knows and my ability to hold a grudge, you're going to regret not fulfilling your end of the bargain.
And days later, millions of dollars are transferred into one of the shell corporations as defined by James Comer on the committee, the House Oversight Committee and House Judiciary Committee.
And they were able to find this.
Anyway, so now Joe Biden has been trying to Trump-proof the DOJ.
He's been doing a whole variety of things.
Now he's selling off portions of the wall.
And now Biden just agreed to a five-year extension.
He's got 35 days to go.
35 days.
And he agrees to a five-year extension to the science and technology sharing agreement with China.
Established by Jimmy Carter, the agreement has attracted increasing scrutiny because of China's epidemic use of scientific knowledge to bolster their military and intelligence services.
We know in this last campaign that they were able to hack into the Trump campaign computers and phones and pretty much everything.
And we can't even break into the phones of a would-be assassin.
It's unbelievable.
They, of course, have hypersonic missile technology.
We don't.
Biden made a very bad decision.
He did it to undermine Trump.
China has used this agreement to manipulate otherwise civilian technologies for military and other nefarious purposes.
The State Department is insisting this extension comes with new safeguards to address these concerns.
And China's, you know, seems mainly interested in using scientific engagement to undermine U.S. interests.
Anyway, the Congressman Molinar of the chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party condemned the decision, observed that the renewal of this in the final days of the administration is a clear attempt to tie the hands of the incoming administration, denying them the opportunity to either leave the agreement or negotiate a better deal for the American people.
China, as a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman put it Monday, scientific cooperation between China and the U.S. benefits both sides.
Blah, blah, blah.
They're happy.
They got Joe to do what they wanted.
And, of course, then we had three Chinese nationals that he commuted their sentences to, including one child molester or one that possessed child porn materials, etc., and one that was in the country and was convicted of espionage.
Why is Joe being so nice to the communist Chinese on the way out?
Could it be the money that they got from CEFC?
Because just like Purisma, this was China's energy conglomerate, and they're paying millions of dollars to the Bidens, and Hunter's leading the company, and he has no experience in energy, oil, gas, has no experience in Ukraine, and no experience in China.
Why was he being paid millions?
And he's addicted to drugs at the time.
So, you know, obviously they want to garner favor.
There is some, you know, other news out there.
It looks like poor little Justin, the Canadian prime minister, who's been fending off no confidence votes and calls for his resignation for months, you know, now is finding his position increasingly perilous following the resignation of his deputy prime minister of finance.
And anyway, this woman, Christia Freeland, long seen as Trudeau's most stalwart supporter, shocked the Canadian political scene by abruptly resigning.
On Monday, she said Trudeau wanted her to give up the post as finance minister and accept another cabinet position, but she felt resigning completely was the only honest and viable path she could take.
Anyway, so he's walking on eggshells.
We'll see if maybe Canada should be the 51st state.
I like the idea.
Oh, Canada, you know, sing the U.S. national anthem.
What do you think, Linda?
The problem is the people of Canada are too liberal.
Yeah, I only want one thing from Canada, and that's their syrup.
They can keep everything else.
Well, you can get Vermont maple syrup.
Is Canadian maple syrup any better than pure maple syrup?
You know, maple syrup is maple syrup.
It's made from a maple tree.
It's made from Christian.
Have you had maple syrup from Canada?
I have.
It tastes nice.
When did you have socialist maple syrup?
Were you hobnobbing with the socialists?
I haven't.
Where have you been, sir?
Have you ever had Vermont maple syrup?
I've never had mirror now.
I'll tell you that.
I'm going to take a look at what's going on.
Okay, I got a question.
Have you ever had Vermont maple syrup?
I have.
Okay, so you had communist maple syrup.
What's the difference?
I had Bernie Sanders syrup.
Exactly.
I mean, I don't really discriminate.
Look, China is a hostile regime to us.
Unfair trade practices, intellectual property theft, you know, hostile maneuverings against our Navy, against our fighter jets in international airspace, international waterways, open hostility flying into Taiwan over Taiwan airspace.
But there's a new sheriff in town, and Donald Trump is going to have to deal with China.
Actually had nice things to say about President Xi.
Invited President Xi to come to the inauguration.
We'll see if he comes.
I don't know if he's going to come, but we'll have to wait and see what happens.
What does he think about syrup, though, Sean?
Which one does he like?
Donald Trump likes to eat.
That's all I know.
You know what's amazing is I'm trying to throw you off, and you literally went from Vermont syrup and Bernie Sanders right back to Chinese drones.
I was like, all right, moving on.
Well, 80 plus percent of the drones, we're going to get to the drone issue later on today.
Well done, sir.
And we will get to the preemptive pardon issue later in the show today.
And we will get to more of the undermining that Joe Biden is involved in.
The praise of this assassin is ongoing.
By the way, do you want to know what the saddest stories I read today was?
I don't know anything about.
Do you ever hear of this website, OnlyFans?
You ever hear of that website?
I have heard of it, yes.
What have you heard?
All right.
There's a story in the New York Post today about OnlyFans.
It was a sex stunt.
Other porn stars apparently have done this in the past.
Quote, I'm Lily Phillips, and today I'm getting ran through by 100 guys.
I guess she's having sex with 100 guys.
She's going to have sex with 101 men in a single day.
I mean, I just read it with just sadness.
I'm like, okay, why?
Why would anybody ever do that?
And anyway, Carol Mauskowitz Markowitz writes this column today, and apparently other porn performers have completed similar stunts.
Phillips went viral because of the film she made about the experience, you know, put its tearful aftermath on public display, inspiring near-universal disgust.
But setting aside the revulsion, she writes, this is a story about broken people.
And Phillips certainly, you know, most observers realize, but far fewer cared to extend the same compassion toward the men.
Phillips calls herself a porn star escort on, I don't know, OnlyFans Girl.
I don't know what any of this means.
I don't really care, but the lore of this offers a false sense of intimacy instead of scrolling through, you know, porn as a means to a, I don't know, an end, pun intended, I assume, by Carol, but a man who pays an OnlyFans model to get to feel like he knows the object of his desire.
It's just sad to me.
There are a lot of lonely people in the world.
And, you know, I mean, do you think that this girl's going to be proud of this one day she gets married, has kids?
I don't know.
I would think that maybe at some point she might regret something like that.
Not exactly a good choice, in my humble opinion.
Do you have any opinion on it?
I think that we suffer from a culture of moral depravity and that kids think they're invincible and they keep forgetting there's a digital footprint that's going to follow them the rest of their lives, which many of us did not have.
And so now anything you say, whether you delete it, anything you film, anything you do, any pictures you take, you post, any videos you take, you post.
Unfortunately, it's going to follow you.
And I think that there seems to be a sickness in our culture with this idea of being famous for the sake of being famous.
I feel like it started with the Kardashians, and now there's sites and whatever the topic is, like whether it's, you know, this idea that they're teaching classes now on being an influencer.
This is a real thing.
And go get a job.
Learn plumbing.
Learn electrical.
Learn a trade.
Stop taking classes that are useless.
If you could make millions of dollars, there was this LSU, what sport was this girl?
A gymnast.
I don't know her name.
Made millions of dollars, I read.
Okay, whoever she is.
Millions of dollars being an influencer.
Why shouldn't she make millions if people like her posts and want to follow her?
Yeah, see, I really have an issue with that because there's this whole idea of.
Do you believe in capitalism?
I do believe in capitalism, but I don't believe in capitalism that is now so lopsided that we're not able to reward those who actually get their hands dirty.
I think that as a culture, we are completely and totally idealizing and making please.
I'd love to help.
So there was an article that the new millionaires, you know who they're becoming?
The plumbers, the electricians.
Thank God.
The contractors.
They're now in such high demand.
And here's the one thing AI can't replace.
If you have a trade and you can work with your hands, totally agree.
Okay.
I had an issue going back a month, six weeks ago, whenever I had a toilet overflow at like two in the morning.
Thank God I woke up and it flooded a bedroom.
It went into the dining room.
It went down into the living room.
Okay.
It ended up costing a lot of money to get repaired.
And it was a pain in the neck.
And then I had to, you know, fix the root cause of it, which was another pain in the neck.
With that said, thank God, I was able to get on the phone.
My contractor actually picked up the phone at 1:30 in the morning, whatever it was, and was able to get a plumber out to my house at 2 in the morning.
Now, I gave these guys a nice tip.
I said, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
And, you know, lo and behold, then, of course, you have to clean up the mess and you have to fix the whole thing.
It's a real crappy situation.
I'll tell you what.
It's a bunch of crap.
It was just a pain in my, you know, what?
Really tough times.
No, but listen, is that Adam Schiff show?
It's a complete Adam Schiff show.
Did you see my line at the Patriot Awards about Adam Schiff?
I heard you had a lot of your lines at the Patriot Awards.
You snuck them all in.
I did a whole new routine.
You'd be proud of me.
You didn't watch it?
I was talking about the other lines that you kept saying that you snuck in because we had some friends in the audience and you were like, well, I'm not supposed to say this, but you said it anyway.
Yeah, when I'm on stage, you can't stop me.
I'm aware.
Oh, I'm aware.
Anyway, we got a lot of news and we will get to all of it, including the topics we just mentioned.
We'll have the latest on drones, preemptive pardons.
Is it constitutional?
Some people are upset that the president-elect said that he would consider a presidential pardon for the indicted New York City Mayor Eric Adams charge on criminal charges stemming from a federal corruption investigation.
He said, yeah, I would, when asked if he would look at a pardon for Adams, I think he's been treated pretty unfairly.
I don't know all the facts, but I'll look at it.
The corruption allegations against him include accepting discounted and upgraded international flights from Turkish airlines.
Trump suggested reporters asking him questions on Monday also received upgrades.
He said, actually, I'm sure it's true.
You know, it seems, you know, like being upgraded in an airplane many years ago.
I know probably everybody here has been upgraded.
You know, they'll see, you know, TV people.
Well, I want to upgrade that person from NBC News.
That would mean you'll spend the rest of your life in prison.
And he's publicly empathy, shown empathy towards him.
Some people in New York are furious about it.
Other friends of mine said, no, he's guilty of sin.
We're going to deal with some of the hysteria surrounding his appointments and agenda when we come back.
25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941-Sean on number.
You want to be a part of the program.
So it is the holiday season and the season of hope with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
And they do so by delivering dozens of mortgage-free homes to deserving recipients all around the country.
And Tunnel to Towers welcomed U.S. Army Captain David Christopher into his mortgage-free smart home during a prior season of hope.
And David sustained catastrophic injuries in an accident the day before he was set to deploy to South Korea.
Now, David said that receiving this mortgage-free smart home because of your generosity from the Tunnel to Towers Foundation made him feel appreciated for the first time for his military service.
He also said it enables him now to help other veterans.
He intends to pay it forward and continue to help those in similar situations.
Now, the Season of Hope campaign is our opportunity to stand united, make a difference in the lives of those that sacrificed so much for your safety, our safety, our security, our liberty, our freedoms that protect our country, that protect our communities.
And you can help these heroes and their families this holiday season.
The most consequential gift you're going to give this season, go to the Tunnel to Towers website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
I'll go to this.
I'll play it later.
Remember that little exchange, Martha Radnits and JD Vance, you know, when she said, well, I know what the truth is about Aurora, Colorado.
I know the truth.
It's only a couple of apartment complexes.
And JD is like, do you hear yourself?
Do you hear how stupid you sound?
Basically, he was saying.
And, well, turns out police in Aurora, Colorado say the overnight armed home invasion of a local apartment complex resulted in 14 suspects being detained, was without question a gang incident.
We now have this Trende Aragua gang from Venezuela now in 16 states.
They're getting more violent, more bold by the day.
The police chief, Todd Chamberlain in Aurora, Colorado, you know, during a press conference, you know, that 13 to 15 people, mostly males, some females, entered an apartment with two people that were inside.
Police say the suspects took the illegal immigrant victims, the migrant victims, to another apartment at the same location where the victims were threatened and bound.
One of the victims, a man, sustained a stab wound, but is expected to survive.
Both victims are still at the hospital for treatment of their injuries.
They were pistol whipped.
They were beaten.
They were mistreated.
So does that fall in the category of torture?
For me, according to the police chief, yes, it does.
This is without a question a gang incident.
I don't know which gang they're affiliated with.
I would say there's a high assumption they're affiliated with the Trende Aragua gang.
Oh, but I thought it wasn't a problem.
There's only a few apartment complexes.
Oh, just a few.
Not a big deal.
There is nothing but mass hysteria regarding RFK Jr.
And by the way, Dr. Oz is also taking a big job at the Health and Human Services.
And everybody's completely understanding.
I've had enough interviews and conversations with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
and Dr. Oz that there might be certain things like red dye number three, which has a link that is used by food manufacturers that has a direct link to cancer in tests with animals that might end up getting banned.
Nothing serious.
It's a food color, not a big deal.
But that's not what the mission.
of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
is about.
He's not taking your vaccine away.
We're not going to have polio the way some Democrats are trying to fearmonger about this.
Polio is no, but Donald Trump was pretty clear.
You know, when asked directly by a reporter yesterday about vaccines and autism and whether there was a link, he said, look, he's not a doctor.
He says, you know, right now, you have some very brilliant people looking into it.
He himself does not know.
I had dinner the other night with the head of Pfizer, the head of Eli Lilly, and RFK was there.
Dr. Oz was there.
They had 10 other people within the administration that are involved in medical, and we're looking to find out.
Another reporter says, do you think schools should mandate vaccines?
I don't like mandates, Trump said.
I don't either.
I don't like mandates.
I mean, look what they did with the shot that if you got the vaccine, you weren't going to get COVID.
Well, how'd that work out?
And if you got the shot, you weren't going to have the ability to infect or transmit to other people.
How did that work out?
They just flat out lied.
They knew it was a virus.
They know viruses mutate, but they lied to us anyway.
And many people just, you know, blindly, like sheep, just listen to the government.
I've said this many times.
The amount of pressure that was brought to bear on me during that time period to tell you, my audience, what you should do was enormous.
And then, of course, everyone's demand, what's your status?
My status is none of your damn business is my status.
How's that for an answer?
And, you know, I probably would have shared, but since everybody was demanding that I tell them, I'm like, I'm not telling you.
It's none of your business.
But I did feel very strongly that I'm not in a position to give medical advice to people.
I'm just not.
I know through interviews, especially with the architect, the creator of this mRNA technology that we had on, what was his name?
Dr., he's a really good, oh, Dr. Malone.
We had him on, Robert Malone is his name.
He's a great guy.
And he came on this program.
Those Pfizer Moderna vaccines, they wouldn't have been available if not for the technology that he developed.
And on this program, he said it's not perfected yet.
Remember, this is emergency authorization.
Now, do I regret that we had pharmaceutical companies do their best and try to come up with something when so many people were dying very quickly?
It was a pretty scary time for a lot of people, especially if you were older and you had comorbidities and pre-existing conditions.
And certain people were more susceptible to dying from COVID than others.
Young people were not dying from COVID.
Was there an example or two?
Maybe I don't recall off the top of my head, but it was not impacting young people anywhere near the way it was impacting older people.
And when I asked Dr. Malone about this, he said, well, look, I'm the first to tell you it has not been perfected, meaning the technology that he himself created that allowed for the creation of these things.
But this is where people put their faith, hope, and trust in government, which I keep telling everybody is a dumb move, a dumb mistake.
Don't because government often gets it wrong.
And anyway, he said if he was asked, and of course, you have Dr. Fauci that started with a mask isn't going to do anything.
Then it was one mask, then maybe two masks, then maybe we'd all be wearing masks in perpetuity, which is insane.
Anyway, so Trump says, well, I don't like mandates.
And I agree with him.
Do you want RFK to revoke any vaccines?
No.
I want them to come back with a report and we're going to find out a lot, he said.
And after these conversations with Oz and RFK and others and interviews that I've done with them, they're mostly looking to give the public information that they've never had before.
Most people don't know that most of Europe will not take our meat and produce.
They will not import American food.
They don't want American food.
They don't want American cereals, for example, because artificial colors and chemicals, et cetera, that are, you know, preservatives that are being used.
Now, if Europe doesn't want to import our food for health reasons, don't you think maybe it's not a bad idea to kind of stand back and ask the question, why?
As long as you don't take away people's freedom to go to McDonald's, I want to go to McDonald's occasionally.
I don't go as often as I like because I just, it was too hard to lose the weight when I lost it.
I don't want to gain it back.
So I'm very diligent about my eating.
Ask Linda.
She will tell you.
She will confirm.
She will corroborate in great specificity and detail if I let her, but I won't.
But I want to eat healthier.
And I mostly eat, honestly, my diet consists mostly of meat, onions, and eggs.
And that's it.
I don't eat any sweets.
I don't eat carbs.
I don't eat bread.
I don't eat cake.
I don't eat any of that stuff.
And I just try to, you know, eat a healthier life because I think one of the best things you can do for your health is to be at a healthy weight.
But I also work out, so I don't want to be, you know, stick thin either.
I want some muscle tone, especially as you get older.
You want to keep muscle tone.
And that's why I work out every day.
I don't do everything perfectly.
Certainly, you know, vaping isn't the best idea in the world, but I'm not perfect.
I admit it.
I'm not perfect.
I'll say it again, Linda.
I'm not perfect.
We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory.
Guilty is charged.
Okay.
Why are you being so quiet?
I would expect.
Well, you told me you were going to ask me for my opinion, and then you were like, you know, I could let Linda go on and on forever, but I won't.
So, you know, it is a spirit of Christmas.
So I'm just trying to give you, you know, what you're asking for, which is a little peace and serenity.
So there you go.
Well, think about this.
Men in Japan live on average about 10 years longer than that was a segue.
All right, cool.
No, there are certain health things that I think are worth examining.
I don't want mandates.
Nobody wants polio.
If you want to give your kids vaccines, nobody's going to stop, you know, any of that.
What's really fascinating is watching the number of people I just mentioned in this, you know, all these pharmaceutical company executives, you know, showing up and meeting with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
I mean, everyone seems to be going there to kiss the ring.
Ask me how many times I've been to Mar-a-Lago since the election.
I was there the week before for an interview.
Ask me how many times I've been there.
How many times?
None.
You should go.
There's a big shebang there happening at the end of the year.
I'm going to be on vacation.
That's not a vacation.
It's work.
Anyway, so, but all these people are going to see him.
I mean, it's pretty interesting to watch.
He's going to be meeting with, well, he met with Mark Zuckerberg.
He's meeting with Jeff Bezos.
He meets with the TikTok CEO as he's asking the Supreme Court to intervene in a fight over a federal ban.
He met with the Netflix CEO.
Little Justin came running down when he started talking about tariffs against, little Justin may not make it.
You know, it's a great column on this issue.
We'll get into more detail.
I'm not saying I support it.
I'm just saying it would take away any distractions from the incoming administration so they can focus on things.
But there's growing indications.
Jonathan Turley points out in his article today in the New York Post that Biden is going to change the use of the presidential pardon with these preemptive pardons.
And you've got Benny Thompson wanting one.
There was a referral for Liz Cheney, which I found very, very interesting.
And that is that the House GOP issued a criminal referral to the FBI on Liz Cheney for witness tampering.
We do have Tom Massey saying that he believes Merrick Garland lied under oath for years about whether there are confidential sources based on the IG reports.
So there's a lot happening here.
So this issue of presidential pardons and preemptive pardons are getting very interesting.
You know, he said he wouldn't pardon his son.
And they keep claiming, well, Donald Trump is out for revenge, even though Donald Trump keeps saying success will be my revenge.
And while there is a little threat, little threat of any viability to this, there are people that did wrong things, including Joe Biden, in my view.
I mean, this whole issue of Burisma leveraging a billion taxpayer dollars or explaining away, I'm sitting here with my father, the WhatsApp message, that to me would be a legitimate criminal investigation.
So, but why does Benny Thompson want a preemptive pardon?
You know, why are people, why does Bill Clinton maybe want one for Hillary?
You know, why do, why do, why, why do people like Anthony Fauci want one if he wants one?
Why does his name keep coming up?
Now that Liz Cheney's been criminally referred, I can understand why she might want one.
But after all these people predicted the imminent collapse of democracy, you know, the next convenient collapse of democracy is this claim that Biden is putting these preemptive pardons, you know, to do this.
Now, even presidents in tough times never did what Joe Biden is now contemplating.
But I don't see anything in the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, that prevents it from happening.
We have a constitutional system, as Jonathan Turley points out, that allows for overlapping protections of individuals from abuse of prosecutions.
It does not always work as fast as they want.
But anyway, he's arguing if you cannot prove the existence of a Trump enemies list, a Biden pardon is the next best thing.
And after years of lying about pardoning his own son, and never doing this, why is this now paramount in the minds of the left?
And I just, again, don't take what I'm saying to mean or interpret it to mean that I'm supporting it.
I'm just telling you that I think that it's likely going to happen.
You know what I'm most upset about, Sean?
What are you upset about today?
And I know we're going to talk about it in a half hour, so I won't harp on it.
But I would like really to have every representative who is going along with this now on the bus spending and doing everything we don't need instead of just a temp CR that we could have done, not this crap we're doing till March.
I like them all primaried.
See ya.
Bye.
It's been real.
Well, I mean, I think Doge hopefully will take care of a lot of it.
And you're talking about the interview of the Doge can't take care of all that.
I mean, these Victoria Sparks, but well, they want business as usual.
But if continuing resolutions or spending are $2 trillion less and that we can't into March.
I get it.
Why?
No, I think they shouldn't do it.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean is our number.
If you want to be a part of the program, this with the drone issue and why are people praising assassins?
Straight ahead.
