Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
For our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup, information overload, our toll-free.
Here's our number.
It's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we are only days away from mail-in ballots being sent to states like North Carolina and around the country.
Two weeks from today, early voting begins in Pennsylvania and then rolls out around the country.
And only 63 days until what I believe is an inflection point for this country.
And we have a presidential candidate, major party presidential candidate, who has done a whopping 16 minutes and 29 seconds of an interview.
No press conferences, no gaggles.
He just gives the same speech over and over and over again as we played for you earlier in the program today.
And in the middle of this pathetic, and it was one of the most pathetic interviews CNN has ever done or any news, quote, any media outlet that claims to be a news outlet, 16 minutes, 29 seconds.
That's the long-awaited interview.
And then, of course, she needed her security blanket, Tim Walz, to be there with her.
But the only big line to come out of it was my values and positions, they have not changed.
Anyway, I think that was pertinent considering what we have on Hannity.com, and that is the Kamala files, the Walls files.
This is them in their own words.
They've never been challenged on any of it.
I hope many of you will download it and send it to your friends and family and neighbors and co-workers.
And I hope you'll put it up on social media so that every American before they vote is very aware of how radical, extreme, and frankly dangerous these policies are.
But here is a small snippet of her saying my values, positions have not changed with what her values and positions are.
Listen.
Is my values have not changed?
There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.
You know, we have to stay woke.
Like everybody needs to be woke.
And you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke.
People who are convicted in prison, like the Boston marathon bomber, on death row, people who are convicted of sexual assault, they should be able to vote.
I think we should have that conversation.
What would you do about the millions of specifically assault weapons that are already in circulation?
What do you do about those?
Well, there are approximately 5 million to your point, Craig.
We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback program.
It is outdated.
It is wrong-headed thinking to think that the only way you're going to get communities to be safe is to put more police officers on the street.
Paul also says, quote, every individual who's a resident of the United States is entitled to benefits for health care services under the Sun.
Not every individual who's a citizen, but every individual who's a resident.
So you support giving universal health care, Medicare for all to people born in this country illegally.
Let me just be very clear about this.
I am opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health.
Period.
To reiterate, you support the Medicare for All bill.
I think initially co-sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders, you're also a co-sponsor on concept.
I believe it will totally eliminate private insurance.
So for people out there who like their insurance, they don't get to keep it.
Let's eliminate all of that.
Let's move on.
How dare we speak Merry Christmas?
How dare we?
And yeah, I am Red.
Is my values have not changed?
All right, joining us now.
We will be with him tomorrow in Harrisburg, PA.
Sign up on Hannity.com if you'd like to join us.
The 45th and hopefully 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump, is with us.
Mr. President, how are you, sir?
What a terrible clip that was.
I just listened to it along with a lot of people that listened to you, and that was a terrible clip.
Even Christmas shit against Merry Christmas.
Here we go again with that one.
When you think of all of these radical positions, and this was supposed to be a debate tomorrow night.
And, you know, we should have the courage to never say radical Islamic terrorism or illegal alien and no fracking and no drilling.
Again, all in her own words.
And, you know, the rioters in 2020, they're not going to stop.
They shouldn't stop.
We're not going to stop.
And then, you know, promoting a bail fund, 574 riots or insurrections that summer.
And then you look at her and the border, decriminalize illegal immigration and offer free housing, healthcare, education.
And Walls wants to get free college education.
We can't afford it as a country, and nor are they vetting any of them.
We see murder.
We see rape.
We see other violent crimes and a cost that we cannot sustain over time.
And her position on defund dismantle ICE and the police departments in this country.
And, you know, no fracking, no drilling.
I don't even know where to stop.
I just think these policies are extreme, radical, dangerous.
And John McLaughlin points out that a lot of the country doesn't even fully understand how radical she is yet.
Well, we would have a different country if she got elected.
It would be a bad country.
It would be a dark, evil country.
We would have a very different country.
It would be a bad place.
And it's just crazy that people don't understand what she represents, who she is.
They know nothing about her.
She doesn't talk to anybody.
She doesn't go on shows because she can't answer questions properly.
I mean, we're going to have her in a debate, but they barely want to do that.
And it's going to be a different country.
It's going to be a very, very different country.
Why do you do all of this after all that you've been through?
What is it that motivates you?
And I've asked you this question before, but I've asked it a little differently.
In other words, I don't know how America survives, honestly, if her economic proposals are put in place.
I don't know if we unilaterally disarm with the lifeblood of the world's economy, energy.
I don't know how you recover from that or price gouging or gauging, as she calls it, or doubling the capital gains tax or doubling the corporate minimum tax, so America's not competitive to bring businesses from around the globe or taxing corporations and small business and unrealized capital gains.
All of it together, open borders, and now she's offering a path to citizenship, which is amnesty.
I mean, what's this country going to look like if she ever got elected in four years?
And why do you do it?
Well, I do it to make America great again.
We had it better than it's ever been before.
You know that?
And we had a great second election.
We had a great first election, but we had a much better second election.
And we have to win.
If we don't win, we're not going to have a country anymore.
That's all I can tell you.
We're not going to have a country anymore.
The things you're talking about now, including, I mean, think of the open borders.
We'll have 100 million people in here.
And many of them, as you know, come from prisons.
They come from prisons, come from mental institutions.
They're terrorists.
Many, many thousands, hundreds of thousands.
Look at what's happening where they say, oh, well, you know, outsiders don't cause the same crime as the people that are here, citizens, so to speak.
And you see what's happening with migrant crime?
It's at numbers we've never seen before.
I mean, look at what's going on in New York and Chicago and L.A. and all of these cities where they're putting these people.
Don't forget, these people come largely.
Many of them come out of jails.
They come out of mental institutions.
And then they say, well, those people are very nice.
You know, they think it's like Alice in a Wonderland, Alice in a Wonderland, where everything's so beautiful.
It's not beautiful.
It's really bad what's happening to our country.
They're poisoning and sickening.
Our country is sick.
And what they're doing is just not even, it's not comprehensible to anybody.
Men and women's sports.
And that's the least of it.
I just say from a practical standpoint, can you imagine men and women's sports?
But open borders.
They want an open border.
They want to take down the wall.
And they want to have an open border.
Now, she's changing her policies.
I mean, she's changing them.
But the day she changed them after.
But we don't really know because her campaign says that they're changing the policies.
We have gone through this chapter and verse, even set up the Kamala files, the walls files on Hannity.com.
The media mob has ignored this.
But, you know, let's talk more about the town hall tomorrow.
It's going to be a great town hall.
We're going to have a lot of people show up.
I hope that Fox has agreed to allow the whole arena to be full.
I think it would be great.
Normally a town hall, they allow 300 people, 500 people, but I hope we can have the whole arena packed.
I think the Secret Service capped it at like 5,000.
So you might want to check with them.
That's too much.
That's too much.
Well, your life has changed dramatically.
I remember where I was.
I remember how I felt because I've known you a long time before you ever thought about getting into politics.
And this assassination attempt against you.
And you have spoken openly how this has had a pretty deep impact on you.
Well, it has had a deep impact.
I like not to think about it so much.
They should have had more people, you know, that have a big crowd for Biden, and frankly, nobody would show up.
And when I get 40, 50, 60,000 people, they had not enough Secret Service people, frankly, that have been complaining about this for a long time.
And so now they have a lot of people.
Now they have a lot.
But they didn't have enough.
And everybody understood that.
Everybody knew that.
But look, we've got to win this election.
If we don't win this election, we're not going to have the same country.
You're going to have people leave.
You know, people leave countries when they do taxes and taxation.
And a lot of the big international corporations, they're not for America, for their stockholder, I mean, to be honest.
And they start playing around with capital gains, taxes, and other things.
They move to other countries.
They have many other countries that want to have these massive companies that make a fortune for the country that they're in, just in terms of employment and the amount of money that even the employees pay.
But the amount of money, the billions and billions of dollars, they've got to be moved out.
They're going to leave the country.
I mean, I see some of these proposals.
They're not staying.
There's no way they're going to stay.
Well, we see that actually unfolding in Great Britain now that they've had a change of government there.
A controversy.
I noticed that you were attacked by Kamala and her team, and it's backfiring big time against them.
And it has to do with the fact that you showed up at Arlington National Cemetery.
And the people that came to your defense the most are Gold Star families.
And this had to do with you visited Arlington to pay the respects to the 13 U.S. service members that died during their disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
And Kamala bragged, she was the last person in the room, and she's proud of her decision.
But Gold Star families had apparently invited Kamala and Joe.
Joe was on the beach.
She was 10 minutes away.
She could have gone.
She did not.
And they're furious at what they call her heinous, vile, disgusting post attacking you and how Biden and Harris failed and ignored us and Donald Trump has been a rock.
And, you know, the woman that got the, you know, she and Joe get these soldiers killed and then condemn you for comforting their families, which I know you've also spoken of the families of the victims of crime at our border, like Lake and Riley's family and Rachel Morrin's family and Jocelyn Nungari's family.
I know you've spoken to many of these families.
That's right.
So they were incredible and they called me and this was the most embarrassing day in the history of our country, in my opinion, and moment in the history of our country, where we got out and left 13 dead soldiers.
We left many badly wounded, hundreds of people killed on both sides.
We left Americans behind that you always talk about.
You know, nobody talks about them anymore, but we left Americans behind.
And, you know, very importantly, we left like $85 billion worth of brand new, beautiful military equipment behind, as crazy as that is.
So we did that.
In fact, they're big sellers of equipment now.
They're making a fortune selling the equipment.
We left it for the Taliban, for Afghanistan.
And it's just a shame.
And when I somehow I got to meet one of the parents of the 13 that were killed, needlessly, because they should have left from Bagram.
They had to leave the soldiers last.
We had that all worked out.
We were getting out.
We're going to get out with strength and dignity and get out because it was a long time that we were in.
But we had nobody killed in 18 months.
I spoke with the head of the Taliban.
It was a nice conversation.
And it was rough.
And there was nobody killed from the time I spoke.
We had nobody killed.
Not one soldier was killed in 18 months.
And they were totally standing back.
I mean, it was like amazing.
All right, we're going to take a quick break.
President Trump agreeing to stay with us a little bit longer.
We'll get back to him on the other side.
Don't forget, sign up for Harrisburg PA tomorrow, my town hall with President Trump.
All right, we're going to continue with President Trump in just a minute.
Let me just play something because we talk a lot about major institutions against the president, the deep state.
We talk a lot about big tech.
We talk about the corrupt state-run media mob.
Here's an example of big tech.
You got two people asking Alexa, the reason to vote for Kamala Harris and the reason to vote for Donald Trump.
And then listen to the answers.
Alexa, why should I vote for Donald Trump?
I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate.
Alexa, why should I vote for Kamala Harris?
While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment.
As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities.
Alexa, why should I vote for Kamala Harris?
Voting for Kamala Harris means supporting a candidate who has a history of working for the people and fighting for important causes like equal opportunities in education, gender equality, affordable health care, and combating climate change.
Alexa, why should I vote for Donald Trump?
I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate.
I mean, these are powerful forces against Donald Trump.
And then you got, you know, former fake news CNN host Don Lemon.
And this was pretty interesting discussing eye-opening revelations when he speaks with African-American voters and how they believe Donald Trump is on their side.
Well, I don't know if it was surprising, but it was certainly eye-opening to hear so many people, even people of color and women, saying that they are going to support Donald Trump.
I'm not quite sure that the polls are accurate as it relates to the tightening of the polls and who's going to support whom.
And, you know, right-wing media, you know, when I released my content, they said, oh, Don Lemon was shocked, or Don Lemon was surprised at the answers that he got.
But there were a lot of black men, Jen, who said that they were supporting Donald Trump simply because he gave them a stimulus check.
He gave them $1,200 back when he was president.
They did not somehow remember that the current president also gave them a stimulus check.
But for the most part, in Pittsburgh or in the Jersey Shore and Atlantic City.
All right, we continue now with former President Donald Trump, who's with us.
Don't forget our Harrisburg PA town hall tomorrow, ticketsonhannity.com.
I do want to ask you, isn't it true in 18 months, your last 18 months as president, that not a single American soldier was killed?
People can't even to this day believe it.
Even Biden admitted it.
For 18 months, not one soldier was killed.
They were killing many of our soldiers and many other people.
During Obama's administration, they were killing soldiers.
You wouldn't believe it.
A lot of soldiers, our soldiers, and a lot of everything else.
And what happened is when we had that election, they took over.
When they took over, what they did is so horrible to those people and to the families.
And we had 13 killed, many, many badly wounded.
Nobody ever talks about them.
The legs, the arms, but really badly, horrifically wounded.
And when they took over, it was just a whole different ballgame.
Abdul is the leader, Abdul, his name is, still the leader of the Taliban.
And he had a field day.
When I was gone, he had a field day.
And there was no apology to the families of the 13 or anybody else.
There was no talking to anybody.
They tried to hide it.
The fake news hardly puts it out.
It was the single most embarrassing day in the history of our country, but the fake news doesn't want to talk about it.
They barely talk about it.
They don't talk about it, actually.
And when you look at what's happened, Sean, and somehow the parents, I became very close to him, very close to him.
I had him at Bedminster.
We talked for a long time.
We became close.
And they asked me, would I stay in, would I please come down to this ceremony at Arlington?
And it was a tough day because I was really, I was all over the place.
And the answer was yes.
And I got there.
And we had a ceremony.
And then we went to graves, which were quite a distance away.
We went to the graves and they asked me if I could have pictures taken.
And I said, yes, I certainly can.
We took pictures.
And there was no conflict.
What are you supposed to say?
No?
I mean, you don't say that to grieving families ever.
But there was no fighting.
Nobody told us not to do anything.
There was nobody that would say that.
I went to the graves.
The parents would say, could you take a picture at the grave of my son, sir, or my brother or my sister?
The families were there.
And I would take pictures with the families at the different grave sites.
A couple of them asked me to take it just by myself.
Would I take a picture?
They were as happy as you can be.
I mean, it was a very sad day, but it was a day of honor.
It meant something to them.
It meant a lot to them.
It meant a lot, yeah.
Sean, just to finish, it meant a lot to them.
And I stayed long.
They was amazed that I was able to stay, but I stayed long.
And we talked, we talked about one mother was telling me what a great arm, what a great arm my son had.
He was a quarterback and how strong his arm was, Sarah.
And she was telling me about games.
You know, it was really a beautiful thing.
And I understand exactly what you were saying.
And it was a beautiful thing.
And everything was good.
And I left, and we said goodbye to everybody.
And it was love, love.
And they needed it because they got nothing.
The White House never contacted him, never talked to him.
Biden, all he does is look at his watch all the time.
And nobody ever talked to him from the White House, never responded to him.
I heard that they were sort of invited, like, you know, they were given an invitation.
They didn't come.
But what happened is so horrible if you look at just the records.
There was no conflict.
There was no fight.
There was no anything.
And I get home that night and I get like a call from one of the people that is press, sir, there's a story that your people got into a tremendous fight with people representing the cemetery.
Do you notice that the person represented now doesn't want to talk?
He doesn't want to speak or talk.
Now, the nice thing, the beautiful thing was all the parents and relatives got together and they said, that's a false story.
It was totally false.
I get enough publicity.
Believe me, I'd like to get less publicity.
I don't need publicity.
And certainly not with these people who I really got to know a lot of them.
And they're great people.
They lost their son and, in one case, a daughter.
They lost their children because they'll always be children.
They said, my child, it'll always be children to me.
It's always going to be my child.
And they lost their child, and they'll never be the same.
And nobody even calls them from the White House.
And it was the worst day.
And because of that, we have, if you take a look, because of that, we have people in Afghanistan going wild.
We still don't know where our Americans are.
A lot of Americans are missing.
They don't know where they are.
They were left there.
We took the soldiers out first.
But because of that, we have Russia attack Ukraine.
And we have Israel be attacked on October 7th.
And China is feeling very frisky.
And they have no respect for her or him.
And I think less for her.
But, you know, with him, we were leading by a lot.
I mean, I heard numbers up to even 20% after the debate.
And they went to talk to him and they said, listen, you have to get out.
He didn't want to get out, by the way.
They forced him out.
It was a coup.
And what happened is sort of incredible.
So I beat him, and then now I have to beat another one.
Problem with her is nobody knows who she is.
She's a Marxist.
She's got horrible ideas.
The country will be destroyed.
She destroyed San Francisco and she destroyed all of California.
When she was the DA of San Francisco, she destroyed San Francisco.
It's not even a resemblance to the same city.
It's a disaster.
And she destroyed the state of California as the attorney general.
And we're not going to let her destroy our country.
She will destroy our country.
Let me ask you one last question.
We continue with former President Donald Trump.
We'll be with him in Harrisburg tomorrow, Hannity.com for tickets.
And this is my last question.
Now, she does the 16-minute 29-second she speaks in this fake news CNN interview.
And we still don't know whether she would abandon the filibuster to pass the $93 trillion Green New Deal.
We still don't know if she supports decriminalizing illegal immigration and the free housing, healthcare, education, and path to citizenship.
We still don't know whether she stands by her tweet for the bail fund for the rioters and the 574 riots in the summer of 2020.
We still don't know if she stands by telling the rioters they won't stop and shouldn't stop.
We still don't know if she supports Medicare for all and the elimination of private health care or not.
We still don't know if she's proud of Bidenomics, which she said not that long ago.
We still don't really know if she supports defunding and reimagining ICE and police departments.
We still don't know whether or not she stands by her view that we should never say radical Islamic terrorism or the illegal alien.
We still don't know if she stands by her tax on corporations, small businesses, capital gains, unrealized capital gains, the largest tax increase in American history.
We still don't know if she really means what she said about changing her view on fracking.
And it's really a lot of this goes down to, you know, I feel like a voice in the wilderness sometimes because I keep playing a plethora of her radicalism in her own words, and the media won't touch it.
So you have to bypass the media and get this information out.
What is your plan as we now head into early voting and voting in Pennsylvania to get this information in the hands of voters?
All we can do is do shows like yours and do as much media as possible, get the word out.
And when people hear who she is, they don't want to vote for her.
But, you know, we don't have long.
We have not a lot, 60 days.
We don't have a long time.
The votes start going very shortly, and we have to be prepared to fight very hard.
Look, she's going to destroy our country.
If she's elected, our country will be a different place.
It'll be a disaster.
And she's not capable to be it.
And she didn't win the nomination.
I mean, she lost.
Out of 22 people, she was the first one that lost.
She was the first one out, never made it to Iowa.
Now she's running.
So the whole thing is a mess, and our country is a mess.
People are pouring into our country by the millions and millions, and they're the wrong people for the most part.
It's horrible what's happening to our country.
Think of it.
They're emptying out their jails and prisons all over the world and letting them come into the United States.
They're taking the worst criminals in gangs, MS-13, into gangs all over the world, not just in South America, all over the world.
158 countries as of last week.
Think of that.
Unbelievable taking they're taking the I hate to tell you the numbers a little higher My number is at 180.
180 countries.
Many would territize our top geopolitical foes.
Mr. President, look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
I will see you in Pennsylvania.
I want to mention you have a new book out, and I was able to get an early copy of the book.
And I got to tell you something that really is amazing.
It's your presidency in pictures.
It's, you know, it's filled with iconic moments.
It's called Save America, and it's just released today.
45 books.
It's 45books.com is where to get it.
That's right.
You can get it anywhere, but it's the least important part of our conversation is the book.
The book is great.
It's wonderful.
But we've got to win this election because if we don't win this election, you won't have books anymore.
You won't be doing anything.
You have a dead country.
This country is dying fast with these people.
They don't know what the hell they're doing.
And in many cases, they're very bad people.
Very, very bad people with bad meaning.
So we have to win, and I'll see you tomorrow night, and we'll explain.
And hopefully during the election, people will, by the time of the election, people will understand that we're dealing with Marxist philosophy, which never worked anywhere.
And we'll do a job and we'll have an interesting evening tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to it.
President Donald Trump, thank you, sir.
And look forward to seeing you in Harrisburg, ticketsonhannity.com.
And the book, by the way, will have a link on Hannity.com for that, as well as the Kamala files, the walls files that the media is hiding from everybody.
Mr. President, thank you, sir.
We appreciate you being with us.
Thank you very much, Sean.
Thank you.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
We are loaded up tonight.
