Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound.
We'll all be flying.
High little jail on her.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal.
And all of these many betrayals that have taken place.
And to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed their freedom.
From this moment on America's decline is over.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming to your center.
Don't play our gentles and saying you a conscious song.
Sean Hannity.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
Our news roundup, information overload hour, toll free.
Our number is 800-941-SHOT.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the uh program, um, the legacy media just doesn't get it.
They've been doing it at fake news CNN.
They've been doing it on MSDNC.
Now the the latest attack is there's Elon Musk, Joe Rogan defended him.
Uh supporting A. A Siegheil, you know, uh salute.
No, it wasn't.
And everybody knows that it wasn't.
And we have plenty of pictures and videos of Democrats making the same exact gesture as Elon Musk did.
Elon Musk is only hated for one reason, is he likes Donald Trump.
And he's helping Donald Trump and he helped Donald Trump win.
And that's what it comes down to.
But legacy media, they have just continued to just double down on stupid.
And the results are becoming catastrophic for them.
I mean, if you look at inauguration day, you know, Fox more than doubled, nearly tripled its highest competitor in terms of audience size.
And on any given night, we have 80% of the cable news audience on the Fox News channel.
By the way, thanks to all of you.
But there's only one way to survive if you want to be a content provider.
You better tell people the truth.
You know, I I I kind of like to remind people, probably maybe too often, you know, that we've been right.
We were right about the Russia hoax, write about Pfizer abuse, write about the Ukrainian hoax and the call there, write about the Biden family syndicate, write about the laptop, write about the 51 former Intel officials, and then write about other issues like Richard Jewell back when I was a local host in Atlanta.
Or when the Duke Lacrosse came uh case came forward.
I actually took the time and drove and and met with the families to find out what was going on.
I knew there'd be exculpatory evidence that they'd presented.
And then getting calls and working the phones and work and talking to law enforcement in Ferguson, Missouri.
We ended up getting that case right.
Hands up, don't shoot.
I was told early on, multiple, multiple eyewitnesses will confirm Officer Darren Wilson's story.
Don't buy it.
Hands up, don't shoot.
Never happened.
I was told the same thing about Freddie Graham Baltimore or the UVA case.
You know, this is not an accident that we're getting it right.
If you want to be a content provider, you better start telling some truth.
And you know, here's Joe Rogan just sick and tired as everyone should be.
You know, this this BS game of pretending everybody's Hitler.
That was their whole closing argument.
Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Nazi, fascist, racist, and they just keep doubling down the legacy media.
I guess on the only thing that they know, which is hating Donald Donald Trump, his supporters, every second, every minute, every hour of every 24-hour day, every seven-day week, every month, every year.
They've been doing this now for nine years, and it and guess what?
People have tune them out.
They don't care what they say anymore.
Listen.
I mean, this is the Donald Trump excuse.
You do anything you can to stop Hitler.
You know, right?
And this is this is why they want to conflate and they always want to pretend that everyone's Hitler.
The problem with that is it just after a while, it's crying wolf, and people are like, oh, this is a bull game you're playing, and you're just using it as an excuse.
Elon's talked about this a lot about he's absolutely correct, is that people use um woke ideology as an excuse to be an and it's really just people that are that are attaching themselves to things that make them feel righteous.
He's right.
And this whole thing.
Now go back to prior to this election, you know, we would have we had on this program, uh Mark Calpern and Sean Spicer.
They do the morning meeting, and like me, they were actually studying numbers every day and looking at indicators of of how early voting was going.
And with each day's news, I was getting more confident day by day by day, and these other networks, they were echoing the the Harris campaign and the line that racist, fascist, Nazi, they're the the closing arguments.
They never told you the truth about her radicalism, her in her own words like we did, or Tim Wall's radicalism in his own words.
Anyway, Sean Spicer, former White House press secretary, he is also the host of the Sean Spicer podcast and the morning meeting with Mark Halpern.
Uh you know, it's amazing that they just have doubled down on dumb and dumber.
And if that's if if that's what fake Jake Tapper and the people at CNN want to do, and you know, conspiracy peddling, you know, extremist Rachel Maddow wants to do, and CNN and MSDNC want to keep using the word Nazi, I'm fine with it.
Yeah.
By the way, I gotta just start by saying phenomenal interview, Sean Hannity with President Trump.
I enjoyed it.
I learned a lot.
I've known the guy ten years, and I I was like, when you watch an interview with President Trump and you learn a lot, you know the interview has done a good job.
And I was just I was on the edge of my seat.
I'm looking forward to tonight.
But to your point, Sean, listen, these guys whined and complain.
I pointed it out from my podcast um last night.
I'm gonna talk about it again tonight.
They whined for four years.
We don't have access to the president and the first amendment and freedom of the press and transparency.
President Trump on day one does a 60-minute presser with them.
Sixty minutes.
Fox News carries it, News Nation carries it, Cheese Band carries it.
Jake Tapper's CNN did not take it.
Nicole Wallace, MSNBC didn't take it.
What are you afraid of?
Your ratings suck.
You're down.
Why do you not want people to hear from President Trump?
And I think that these guys, it's a joke.
The idea that they are afraid of letting people see their president in action for the first time in 40 years, getting things done, delivering on promises.
I just can't come to any other conclusion except for they're afraid because it.
I mean, even if you wanted to hate on him and had one of your never Trump panel CNN, what do you just go ahead and show President Trump?
But I think that they're afraid that they would actually have to admit that the president is doing what he said he was doing and delivering for the American people.
I'll take it a step further.
That one hour impromptu presser.
I don't think Joe Biden would ever be c I know Joe Biden wouldn't be capable of doing it.
Now I would argue tonight's think that he's done a year he didn't do an hour over four years.
President Trump in two days in the Oval Office has probably done more than Joe Biden did in four years combined.
I mean, he's just moving at the speed of light.
I've I've gone through now, you know, I went through his initial day in office, the second day in office.
I mean, uh I have to spend 15 minutes just listing the day's activities and the day's work, and then it'll then he'll spend time with the press.
I mean, I I I thought I had a short interview, and it's always hard when you're with a president if they say you're done, you're done.
And he wanted to keep going, and I I was I'm like, okay.
You know, and then I'm on uh in an uncomfortable position because I'm like, okay, I think we talked about California enough.
I want to still talk about the economy, I want to talk about immigration.
I want to talk about China, Russia, and Iran.
I mean, there's so many topics.
And and he's like, no, it's okay.
We'll keep going.
He didn't care.
And 'cause the they because it's obviously his passion.
He lives this, he eats this, he breathes this, he sleeps this.
And we we really did have a great time together.
We've known each other so long that, you know, it just is for me, it's very comfortable and easy to, you know, interview him.
I what I did try to nudge him along, I criticized for it.
I'm like, well, you know, I thought I had X number of minutes, and it ended up that I had doubled the amount of minutes.
If I would have known I had doubled, I wouldn't have tried to move on to any topic.
Well, you get to you get to break it up now.
You got two nights of of great content.
But you know, the Marines standing outside of the West Wing door pretty late at night.
And the Marine will stand there when the president is in the Oval Office.
And it's just a reminder that even when he's not doing public events, Donald Trump's gonna be in the office working on behalf of the American people, and it's it's such a breath of fresh air.
And one other thing that I'll just say, Sean, is that that especially on the topic of of immigration.
For months, years, we were told that nothing could get done.
And Donald Trump has shown in the first three days in office that he can get it done.
I mean, we ha the border crossings going after the criminals.
Joe Biden chose not to do that.
Chose not to do that.
Now, obviously, I think we need you know, Trump's showing what we can do for him an executive, but we still need a bigger pitch, a bigger fix legislatively.
But j Donald Trump is showing that you can actually with leadership get results for the American people.
And for four years, we were given a bunch of excuses why things couldn't get done.
Well, I'm telling you, nothing happened for four years, and if anything, we were lied to at the highest level.
We were told the border is closed and the borders secured.
That was a lie.
Our own eyes showed us otherwise.
We were told that the the economy, the inflation is transitory, then we were told the economy's getting better.
But we all go shopping.
I d uh I do my own grocery shopping every week.
I don't know why people ask me, why are you here?
I'm like, 'cause I like to eat.
Um uh but I go and and I have seen the inflation.
I have felt the inflation.
I can afford it, but I remember the point of my life for many years when I was living paycheck to paycheck and eating a lot of meatloaf and and not being able to even go to McDonald's for crying out loud because I just didn't have the money to do it.
And just doing things on my own that way, and and for uh, you know, the people that do make this country great, they deserve better.
They don't need lectures from the Washington Post and on how they should lower their expectations in life and maybe consider a townhouse over the the a house in a in a neighborhood uh with a nice car and a backyard for a dog in a pool.
Uh I don't think people should have to settle.
I think American government needs to perform better, and that's what's gonna happen.
Yeah, well, let me read you a headline from the New York Times.
How labeling cartels terrorists could hurt the US economy.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
They're basically saying because President Trump wants to go after the cartels that are sending humans and drugs into our country, it could hurt the economy.
I mean, the the media is unreal in what they'll do to cover up for Joe Biden and to like demean Donald Trump's action.
It's it's crazy.
But you're right.
We all see and feel the results uh between these two administrations right up uh right off the bat.
Uh, you know, so in two days, almost five hundred arrests of illegal immigrants, including those with criminal histories, including sexual assault, domestic violence, drugs, weapons crimes, uh a lot of these uh arrested nationals come from places like Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, uh, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal, and Venezuela.
Yeah, where the trend day Aragua gang is now in twenty states.
I mean, it's it's all simple, basic common sense.
I still think it's gonna be hard to find the known we we know there are terrorists here.
We don't know where they are.
We know there are murderers and rapists and violent criminals here, but we don't know where they are.
I think finding them is gonna be really hard.
Well, uh, he's already shown that if you start to actually do your job and allow the folks at whether it's ICE or C BP do the job that they signed up to do, it'll benefit us.
But those five hundred people were in here, you know, five days ago, five months ago, and when Donald Trump switched that switch and said, Go get him, they at least were able to start doing their jobs.
And I think that while it may take a little bit more time to get some of these really bad guys who now know that they're being hunted, we'll get them because the will and the might is there.
Well, uh, the will and the might is there, but the speed at which he's acting, I've never seen anything like it in my life.
I mean, I went through a list earlier in the program.
I would I I don't have the 15 minutes to go through it again.
Everything from woke politics to the Keystone XL pipeline, uh, you know, to basically uh I love the du what he did at Davos earlier today.
An attendee admitting that Trump won and globalism lost.
Thank God for that.
You know, and you know, look at the Saudis pledging six hundred billion in U.S. trade and investment, and Syria, even the jihadi boss saying he's the guy that's going to bring peace to the Middle East, they know better.
His plan on tariffs to get free and fair trade and the elimination of intellectual property theft.
I mean, it goes on and on and on and ending DEI and and women and uh men and women's sports.
It just it's it's a laundry list of everything that needed to be fixed and never was touched.
Yeah.
But look, this is why I'm saying on all of these things, leadership matters.
But the other thing I'll say to you that I have been harping on is every time the Democrats come after Donald Trump, the law fair, the attempts to get him off the ballot, he grows stronger.
And four years out of office, they'd had the opportunity to think about the people, the process, and the policy that when they got back into office, they would utilize to get the agenda passed.
And we're seeing the fruits of that.
These things that we're seeing historically happen in a first week would never have happened if he had faded off it.
There is such a silver lining and a blessing that the last four years, Donald Trump's been able to sit around with the right people to talk about what they would do if they got back on day one.
And we're seeing the results of that planning every single day for the last three days, and my guess is that we're going to keep seeing it for the next three months.
I think we're going to see it for the next four years.
Uh, and thank God for that.
We can get this country on track.
Sean Spicer, we love having you, my friend.
Thank you.
Three hours a day is all we ask on the Sean Hannity Show.
So please join us, but just don't be late.
Sean Hannity is on.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
All right, you said bye-bye to big government and you want limited government.
You voted for that.
Well, now it's time to trim the fat from big wireless.
If you are still using the big carriers, Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile, I ask, why are you doing that?
Because my cell phone company, Pure Talk, a veteran-owned company, gives you the exact same service.
They use the same cell towers, you get the same 5G network, you get better customer service, and they're based here in the U.S. and you pay half the price for the exact same thing.
Now that's right, there's simply no need to spend 85, 100 bucks a month per person on your wireless bill.
Not when you can get unlimited talk text, 15 gigs of data with mobile hotspot, but just $35 a month.
And by the way, the average family of four saves about a thousand dollars a year with Pure Talk.
Make the switch.
You simply dial pound two fifty, say the keyword, save now, do it now.
You save an additional 50% off your first month.
That's pound 250 keyword save now from our friends at Pure Talk America's Wireless Company.

Sean Hannity is on the radio.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
No, they'll be too busy calling Trump and Elon Musk Nazis and fascists and racists and comparing them to Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini.
I can't believe we're back to all this insanity.
It is just the most intellectually lazy way of making an argument when you really don't have an argument.
That's what it comes down to.
Our friends at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they gave the Chaffins family the gift of a mortgage-free home thanks to your generosity.
Now, police officer, canine handler, Jacob Russell Chaffins was fatally shot while attempting to serve warrants for domestic violence offenses.
And Jacob had a deep passion.
His passion was helping others, making a difference in his community, and his passion for his family, his community, his fellow first responders will always be remembered.
Now Jacob's wife, Savannah, will forever miss her brave, her strong husband, his little daughter Paisley.
You know, we'll never see her dad again.
It's so sad.
Now they are so grateful, however, in the midst of all of this tragedy to have friends like you and friends like the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
And because of your generosity, when you have loss and hardship for heroes like Jacob, well, you are turning that that most difficult time and giving people and families hope.
And there's so much more to do to say thank you to our nation's heroes.
Their families, they all sacrifice so much for all of us.
Anyway, we hope you'll join us here at Team Hannity.
Commit to $11 a month, and this great work continues.

We were talking about this with Sean Spicer.
You know, the get Trump Media, they're now announced it's kind of like reshuffling the deck of the Titanic.
Fake news CNN is moving anchor A over here, anchor B over there, Anchor C over there, anchor D over here.
Okay, what makes you think that shuffling the deck, you know, the deck chairs of the Titanic is going to make any difference after it hit the iceberg?
They hit the iceberg.
You know, and and Sean brought this up.
I did not know that they didn't carry Donald Trump's impromptu presser the other day.
I didn't know that.
But it doesn't surprise me.
I'm not surprised that they've already made Hitler comparisons on both MSDNC and on fake news CNN, whether they're saying it about Trump or Elon Musk.
None of this, you know, George Stephanopoulos, you know, obsessing over January 6th.
Does any of this surprise you?
Do you think that these people learned a thing from what happened in this election?
You think there's any self-reflection, any introspection?
You know, as they watch their their ratings, you know, disintegrate before their eyes.
Do you think that maybe that they might reflect and look in a mirror and try to learn something?
You know, when you and this audience communicate to me certain things you don't like, I I take it to heart.
And when enough people tell me I'll I try to make adjustments and changes.
So I can be a better host.
I've looked at research on myself for years, and people are brutally honest.
They'll say what they like, they'll say what they don't like.
And I don't take it personally.
I take it as an opportunity to learn.
Anyway, now fake news CNN is gonna lay off hundreds of employees, shuffle the decks of the Titanic there.
They're doing the same thing over at MSDNC.
I guess NBC wants no part of that horrible brand, and and they're peeling them off from MBC News.
Uh apparently fake news CNN announced that it is reshaping their weekday lineup.
Apparently, uh fake news Jim Acosta is losing his 10 a.m. show, and they there's talk of that he would program from midnight to two AM.
Another report out today saying that he's thinking of quitting.
Well, if a tree Falls in a forest and nobody's there.
Would anybody even notice?
I don't think so.
That uh time slot is is like the Siberia of television news.
You know, it's also possible that he could leave the network.
Okay, but then where's he gonna go?
Who's gonna hire him?
You know, I'm I don't know.
I mean, I guess I guess there's some liberal network that would want him.
But this bloodbath is, you know, is happening, and I it was funny because uh I was at the inauguration, I was at the military ball, the service members' ball, and it was such a celebration, and it was such an honor to be in the room with all the people that protect our freedoms.
And you know, I looked over next to me and there was fake news CNN.
And then I saw the ratings the next day, and it's like eight to one with beating them, and I looked over and I saw their monitor.
And on their mount monitor, they had Jamie Raskin on as a guest.
Uh I'm like, oh man.
You couldn't pick a worse guest.
It's Donald Trump's inauguration.
Why don't you just you know, respect the will of the people?
You know, they can't.
There was somebody on Republican Tennessee, Tim Burchette was on with uh fake news acosta on Wednesday, you know, and then said, you know, he fired back at the reporter about it, you know, the never-ending January 6th pardons, and he just he was very frank about this.
This is a political world, Jim, and I don't remember you all on CNN condemning the former president for commuting the sentences of murderers and child molesters, which he did.
I mean, it's it's and Rogan's right, it's a BS game of pretending everybody's Hitler, and it's it's not gonna stop, it's not gonna go away.
You know, it's um yeah, I I just think they are where they are.
And I I just I wouldn't expect people to change, but I'm kind of glad.
That's good for business for us.
You know, those that are committed to telling the truth.
Um, Edward Main, you're next on the Sean Hannity show.
Hi.
Oh, hello, Mr. Sean Hannity.
How are you today, sir?
I'm good, sir.
How are you?
Glad you checked in.
It's pretty cold usually up in Maine.
What's going on?
It's cold up here.
It's uh 22 degrees.
Hey, I wanted to talk to you about uh your town hall with Congress, if I may do that, please.
Yes, sir, go right ahead.
Um I'm just gonna keep it down just to one question.
You asked a question to Congress about the size of our country, and how basically are we going to get all the bad people out of this country and round them up?
And I like the answer that Congress gave you when they answered your question.
Um they were clear.
They didn't beat around the bush.
They said criminals do crimes, and we're gonna find them, and we're gonna catch them, and we're gonna get rid of them.
And I thought it was a good answer to your question.
Well, I appreciate it.
Um they have to find them.
I I really, really fear, I I'm I'll I'm I'm open about it.
I'm not hiding it.
I fear that we do have Iranian assassination squads in this country.
Uh only because too many people, too many sources have confirmed it for me.
I do fear that we have other, you know, domestic would-be lunatics assassins that would, you know, think they'd be doing God will if they took out the the person that that the media identifies as Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.
I worry about that a lot too.
I worry about an attack on our homeland because we have known terrorists in the country.
I worry about the cartels, the gang members, the murderers, the rapists.
I want to find every one of them that Joe and Kamala let in.
They already have all this blood on their hands.
Nobody held them accountable.
The media ignored it because all they cared about was them winning.
But we got a lot of work ahead of us, and you know, it's a very sober reality.
But I'll tell you what, we picked the right guy for the job because he's he is dialed in and he is focused on his agenda, and he's not stopping.
And the Republicans are smart, they they come to the conclusion together, with no exceptions, that they're either gonna win together or lose together.
Anyway, Edward, keep uh warm and put up in May night, start a big fire today and and maybe you know have a beer about four o'clock.
You're all out.
Uh let's say hello to Pat in Arizona.
Hey Pat, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call.
Yesterday I was listening to your show, and there was a uh Davy Corman that came on and he talked about uh what President Trump's doing to uh bring back all of those that were uh wrongfully discharged out of all the military branches and uh even offering them back to you, and I think that's very commendable.
But what I want to say is uh not much has been said about those that stuck it out.
Uh those whose careers have been extensively damaged in the fight uh up until the um uh the Supreme Court stepped in and uh and told uh President Biden that he couldn't do that.
In other words, my son joined the Navy years ago.
And uh he was making he was gonna make a career out of it.
He promoted quickly through the ranks and I don't know, by year six, he was a first-class petty officer, got all his qualifications, received uh three naval achievement medals for a lot of his work that he did over and above.
Um and at the start of COVID, he was testing for the chief position.
He passed the test, made boards, and at that particular time COVID was just kind of in its infancy, but the the vaccine was recommended, and uh it wasn't mandatory.
But due to his own beliefs and reasons, he chose not to get the vaccine, and then of course he didn't get promoted that year.
And uh since then it was just a downhill battle uh from there.
That's sad.
I mean, the the guys like your son are the people we want.
I mean, people that are passionate about the military.
I mean, the I I would say Pete Heges' greatest asset.
This is his this is in his blood.
I mean, he lives, eats, breeds, sleeps, military.
And and that's why I think he'll be so good at the job.
It's a hard job.
Um, but those are the people we want in the military.
I I'll make a prediction.
Assuming Pete Heggseth gets to be defense secretary, you watch recruitment levels, they're gonna go through the roof.
How old is your son now?
Uh 38.
Yeah, well, he still has time.
He may want to go can reconsider and go back in it.
I don't know if uh the situation won't, you know.
Is uh is what had happened is is he was assigned a um a uh a nuclear-powered carrier down in the San Diego area, and his position was a flight deck lead petty officer.
So he was in charge of a group working on the flight deck of a carrier.
And uh when the mandate started, he was no longer deployable.
So they pulled him off that, and he went from being the flight deck LPO on a carrier to cleaning parking lots.
And that's that's such a that's so ridiculous.
So I I would imagine he probably has moved on with his life, but please thank him for our sir for his service, and I hope we get people like your son that that have a passion, you know, for this all volunteer army that protects our liberties and freedoms.
You ra you raised a great kid.
Thank you, Pat.
Thank you.
Madeline in New York, we have about 90 seconds.
They're all yours.
Go ahead.
Hi.
Hey, how are you?
Oh, good.
I uh, you know, I'm a great fan of yours for over 20 years, and I was teaching high school, a Catholic high school in Brooklyn, and I created a course for the seniors called Media and Society.
Um I used your a chapter from your first book, Elect Freedom Ring, I had right in front of me.
You look just as handsome except you had dark hair then.
Uh darker hair.
Yeah.
I think they airbrushed the cover of that book, unbeknownst to me.
I didn't know.
I don't pay attention to that stuff.
Uh wow, I well, uh obviously it wasn't a public school, you said a Catholic school.
Uh so they let you do it.
It's cool.
And uh when I created the course, it was basically uh to um educate the seniors about the vital role that the media plays.
You know, it was all you represented talk radio, but I started from silent film all the way to a film and um uh sitcoms and TV, movies, plays, everything.
But you have been an inspiration to me.
I think you're doing a fantastic job.
Uh Trump, I'm a big Trump fan, so with my whole family, uh and I'm also a big uh pro-liper.
And uh and it's just been wonderful uh listening to you every single night and when I'm in the car during the day uh but I had to call you it wasn't easy.
I and of course I I made it with your chapter twelve uh is the name of the course uh that that chapter was winning the media war and it was a great book and you signed it I went out and I always went out you mock within book with my sister and I we don't get it signed etc.
Anyway, it was fascinating.
Of course, some of the students didn't even know about USN, because this was about almost 16 years ago when I created this course.
That's amazing.
So many people, but I love the fact that I reproduced your chapter and photocombed it and handed it to students as part of their reading.
And it was so, you've been very inspirational.
And I'm so glad...
you're so and congratulations on your uh engagement uh you have case I do.
Anyway it's been a pleasure well man ma'am you made my day.

You know we now have to rally around what is the agenda to save the country.
That's that's my only focus really in life right now.
It's it's not about me, it's about the mission.
Anyway, God bless you I appreciate your call more than you know.
