And those remarks there, I counted, called you a communist eight times.
Are you?
No, I'm a Democratic socialist.
I've said that time and again.
I mean, his to-do list, I think, just says, golf, attack black women, attack enemies, alienate our allies.
There is no insurrection.
There is no threat to national security.
And there is no need for military troops in our major city.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and saying you are conscious.
Sean Hennery, the new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free on numbers 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Now, this being kind of an off-year election, there are three races that we're watching.
One is the gubernatorial race in New Jersey, where Jack Chitterelli now against Mikey Sherrill is tied in the latest Emerson poll, 43-43.
Yes, New Jersey has a history of breaking ranks and voting Republican gubernatorial candidates into office.
It's happened three times in, well, fairly recent memory.
Tom Kane, Christy Todd Whitman would be another one.
Chris Christie would be another.
Granted, more liberal, but Jack Chittorelli is certainly in the fight.
Now, that poll was taken before all the revelations on Mikey Sherrill came out and being part of a cheating scandal, not walking with her class at the Naval Academy, and now allegations of nepotism as it regards her children getting into the Naval Academy, not one, but two.
We're watching that.
We see in New Jersey, I'm sorry, in Virginia, the Commonwealth there, that race has tightened considerably.
It's now a three-point race with Winsom Earl Sears, now the lieutenant governor, only three points behind in that race.
And then, of course, everybody all eyes on the New York City mayoral race.
Front cover of the New York Post today, Mom Dani versus the NYPD.
And he says a civilian review board should be able to overrule the police commissioner and fire NYPD officers, meaning defund radicals could be running the board and the department, which means police that are already handcuffed and don't want to do their job because they're afraid of what might happen to them will be less inclined to ever do a job.
Listen, I'm telling you, people are friends of mine.
They say they see trouble on the left and they're making a right turn.
Now, polls consistently show, however, that Momdani is doing well.
Why?
I don't know.
I guess only because New York is so out of touch with reality, but it's crazy.
Interesting piece put out by my friend and colleague, David Asman.
He's talking about the history of socialism.
We wrote about this in Live Free or Die, Socialism, its history of failure.
And it was kind of amazing because he found a clip of Fidel Castro.
And we know what a disaster Cuba has become.
But he claimed in the beginning of his revolution when he went on to slaughter so many people and steal the land, but that, oh, I'm not a communist.
Listen.
I am not communist.
I do not agree with communists.
My ads proof for the press in Cuba.
Dr. Castro, Senator Smales of Florida says that you have many communists in your government.
Is that so?
I know.
Because Senator Masser said it ought to be true.
I don't think that.
He's attacking you as a communist, are you?
No, I'm a Democratic socialist.
That means I believe in dignity for all people.
That means more than that.
Yeah, I think you're not a communist.
I agree with that.
No, I'm not a communist.
I don't agree with that.
Anyway, as we call him affectionately, commie Marxist Momdani continues to lead in the polls.
But now that Eric Adams is out of the race, we haven't really seen any new polls that have come out.
Curtis Slewa is, To me, he would be Rudy 2.0.
He would implement the plans to bring back law and order, safety, security for the people of New York City, with lower taxes, would incentivize businesses to stay and stop the mass exodus that has been happening.
He has a new ad that has come out.
Here's what it says: I want to be clear: Andrew Cuomo is not the answer for New York.
He already lost to Mondami in the Democratic primary, and now he's hanging on to a minor ballot line.
If anyone should drop out, it's Cuomo.
I'm staying in this race because I got a real plan to make our city safe and affordable again.
This November, vote Curtis Schleeway.
Anyway, Curtis Schleewa, New York City gubernatorial candidate, the Republican on the tickets, is with us.
Curtis, how are you, my friend?
Oh, Rock Rebbed All-American Conservative Voice racing from Franklin Square, Long Island.
My hands across America and Florida, where everybody may escape to if the threat of the Zoranistas of Zoran Mondami comes true.
Well, I know a lot of people telling me now, he's saying that, you know, if you move to Florida and do business in New York, I just won't do business in New York, period.
In a sentence, you know, thank goodness I have companies that have bureaus in the state, free state of Florida where I am.
But I'm telling you, Curtis, this is a little scary because I know that the pressure has been put on you to drop out.
Now, I've been reading that you're saying that people are trying to bribe you to get out of this race.
What's going on with that?
Oh, yeah, Sean.
Seven different calls on behalf of Team Cuomo.
A total amount of money offered to me, $10 million, car chauffeur, no-show job, head of security for geopolitical organizations that have security concerns, help for the Guardian Angels, which you know I love, and my wife's animal welfare program, which calls for no-kill shelters and putting animal abusers in jail.
And I've told these people what you're suggesting is unethical, it's a bribe, and it may well be criminal.
Lose my number, pal, and stop calling because if you continue to call and try to bribe me out of the race, I'm going to have to report this to the authorities.
Sean, there's only two major candidates running: Zoran Mandami, who beat Andrew Cuomo, who mailed it in, who did not run a real campaign.
And I am the Republican candidate, the law and order candidate, who believes that no cash bail should be eliminated.
That was Cuomo's policy, supported by Zorhan, who believes you need to lower the age, not raise the age to 18.
That's why we have all these juvenile gangbangers shooting at one another and wants to leave Rikers Island open.
They want to close it.
Both Zorhan and Cuomo want illegals to vote.
I don't.
They believe in a sanctuary city.
I don't.
Republican values, Republican principles, law and order, patriotism.
And you want to know, Sean, your opening salvo was: why would so many people vote for Zoran Mandami, a Marxist communist socialist?
If I lined up the first thousand people on the street in New York City, the millennials and Gen Zers, they have no idea what a communist or socialist is.
You would have had to have survived the Cold War when we were battling the Soviet Union.
They don't teach it in school.
They don't teach about 9-11.
They don't teach about the Holocaust, anti-Semitism, American history.
That's why you get a Zoran Mandami, an AOC, and Bernie Sanders who can rise to the top and take over the Democratic Party.
What do you make of the fact that consistently, and look, I'm not a believer that polls are always accurate.
However, the margin of lead that Kami Marx's Mamdani has is significant.
What do you make of the polls?
Although your poll numbers have been rising, to be fair, dramatically, I think you're up to 20% now.
Yes, and I've raised more money than Eric Adams before he dropped out Cuomo and Johan Mandami combined.
That's why you see all these TV commercials.
That's why I'm opening up headquarters throughout the five boroughs, and I can fight them on an equal basis.
More importantly, let's look at the polls.
Two months before the Democratic primary, they were planning the coronation of Andrew Cuomo as our next mayor.
He was 40 points ahead of Johan Mandami.
He lost by 13 points.
In the prior presidential election, it was neck and neck right until the end, and it was a blowout.
President Donald Trump not only won the popular vote, but the seven battleground states.
And let me talk about dropping out.
There was that defining moment, I believe it was October 8th, back in 9th, excuse me, in 2016, when NBC dropped those Billy Bush tapes, and they thought that they could force then citizen Donald Trump to leave the race against Hillary.
He said, no, I'm not dropping out.
I'm going, I'm in it to win it.
You remember how many major Republican Party officials were telling him to drop out, including Pence, his vice presidential candidate?
The only one, Sean, who stood with him was the great Rudy Giuliani.
Then Trump went on to the debates.
Well, I hate to tell you, the great Sean Hannity was with him, too.
I was getting the crap kicked out of me by so-called fellow conservatives, but that's a different story for a different day.
Right.
But if you remember, it's the debates.
I have two debates coming up.
Like, Trump triumphed in the debates over Hillary.
I will triumph over the inept Andrew Cormo, who has got no gas in the tank.
And I'm going right for the jugular of Zorhan Mandami.
His Achilles seal is public safety.
As you mentioned, he wants to defund the police.
He has no answers what to do about the rising crime problem we have here.
People in New York City who vote, they know Curtis Lewis, law and order, dedicated to protecting people.
Nobody knows the subways in the streets like me, and I'm the only one who campaigns every day in the subways where most of the people are.
Curtis Lewa can't be bought.
That I can tell you.
So, because I've known you for three plus decades.
However, if he was smart, he would say, I'm going to put you in charge of law and order and safety and security.
And you're going to have this position.
We'll run as a team.
And then that would be a possibility.
I don't think you'd do it, but that would be, to me, a more intelligent approach.
You're right, Sean.
But as a concigliary, if I were offering advice to my opponent who cannot get elected mayor, and you know what the term that I coined on your nationally syndicated TV show.
Until he apologizes for slapping fannies and killing grannies, he can't go any further.
This man is incapable of apologizing for the issues that he has been conflicted with, especially when it comes to senior citizens who will never forgive him for his executive order in the midst of the lockdown and pandemic of March of 2025 that sent 15,000 elderly to their death.
All they've asked, like you know, Janice Steen has led the effort.
Your great colleague, just a modicum of sympathy.
Just address us, talk to us, apologize.
Sean, he's omnipotent.
He refuses to do so in his stubbornness.
He'll never be able to become mayor.
I'm the only one in the streets who's taking on the Zoranistas in all the neighborhoods where they beat Andrew Cuomo substantially.
And that's where you have to win this battle in the streets, not the sweets with the billionaires and the people who keep telling Andrew Cuomo, we'll give it another shot.
There's no gas in this tank.
It's over for Andrew Cuomo, Sean.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with New York City mayoral candidate.
Curtis Lewa is with us.
800-941 Sean is on number.
We'll get to your phone calls coming up as well as we continue.
All right, we continue.
New York City mayoral hopeful candidate, Republican.
The only one that would really save New York, the only one that has a plan to save New York, is Curtis Sleewa, founder and CEO of the Guardian Angels, gating in the polls, but it's still Mom Donnie on top.
And as he tries to fight for every vote, New York House Republicans are urging President Trump's top health officials, Robert Kennedy Jr., Dr. Mehmet Oz, to determine whether Andrew Cuomo violated federal guidance by sending COVID-infected patients to nursing homes.
So that is still ongoing.
You are correct.
And here, President Trump at the time built out thousands of beds at the Javits Center they were never used.
He brought in that Navy hospital ship.
It was barely used.
And it's pretty remarkable that all this help was offered and all that money spent and it was not touched.
It was insane.
Not only that, Sean.
Remember, he kept screaming for the ventilators, ventilators, ventilators, Cuomo did.
And guess what?
It turned out it was a warehouse filled with ventilators that the state had appropriated years before for these kinds of medical emergencies.
He took the president on.
He decided to make his political bones battling with Trump at the time, who was right.
He was wrong.
He's got to apologize.
And most importantly, he's got to go out into the streets, Sean.
You know that yourself.
You cannot win a battle like this unless you go into all 350 neighborhoods, unless you're out with the blue-collar working-class people.
And by the way, I am the Republican candidate.
I am the populist candidate of the blue-collar.
They pay the taxes.
They can't flee because everything they own is invested in their house.
They are the most passionate supporters of mine.
And Sean, the secret weapon for me to win, all the animal lovers out there who have for the first ever time in electoral history, an independent line.
My name is right at the top where you can protect animals, no-kill shelters, animal abusers, go to jail.
And boy, that's mostly women.
And as you know, Sean, it's women who vote, women who will determine who the next mayor of the city of New York is.
Listen, this is a moment of truth for New York.
If people don't vote for you, they will get the disaster, the predictable disaster they deserve.
I hope for my friends that I left behind in New York, that they wise up and that they see the benefits of what you're offering and make the right choice.
If people want to get in touch with you, how do they do it?
Oh, Sean, just go to Slewa4NYC.com.
Slewa4NYC.com.
And in the great words of John Paul Jones, I have just begun to fight, Sean.
All right, Curtis Sleewa can't be bought.
He's in the streets.
He's going to fight for every vote.
We're going to watch closely.
We wish you the best, Curtis.
It's certainly a very difficult environment in New York City where Democrats outnumber Republicans about 12 to 1.
But hopefully they've had enough.
That's what I'm hoping.
Curtis Sleewa, thank you, my friend.
My pleasure.
800-941, Sean, is a number you want to be a part of the program.
Keeping Uncle Sam accountable to you every day.
Hannity is on.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
Everybody, everyone listening to my voice now, you need a home security system.
In this day and age, it is not safe.
You need to protect yourself, your family, and you need a system that is proactive, not reactive.
A reactive system is, oh, your security company gives you a call.
Oh, somebody just broke into your house.
Maybe you're even in the house.
Oh, gee, thanks for telling me.
At that point, it's a little too late.
That's where Simply Safe Home Security is different.
It's been with us for over a decade.
What I love about this company is they always advance their technology, active guard, outdoor protection, AI-powered cameras.
In other words, they have spotlights.
And once somebody gets onto your property, you're going to have Simply Safe Home Security monitors, monitoring agents that are watching 24-7 will see them before they get anywhere near a door or a window or your home.
And they can do a lot of things.
They can communicate with them in real time.
You, sir, with the mask on, you look suspicious.
You look like you're trespassing.
Police are on the way.
They can talk to them continually in real time.
They can put on spotlights in real time.
They can call police in real time.
They can call you in real time.
Like having a security guard stationed right outside your home.
That's why Simply Safe Home Security, proactive security, is the one that I trust to keep safe and secure every single day, like millions and millions and millions of other Americans that trust Simply Safe Home Security.
Now, the beauty is right now, if you go to simplysafe.com slash Hannity, you, my listeners, will get 50% off a new SimplySafe home security system at simplysafe.com/slash Hannity because there's no safe like SimplySafe.
All right, let's get to our busy, busy telephones as we say 800-941 Sean, as we say hi to Moose in Utah.
Moose, how are you?
What's going on?
How you doing, Sean?
Great.
I'm good.
Why did your parents name you Moose?
It's just.
Or is it a nickname?
It's just a nickname.
It's a nickname.
Why do you have the nickname Moose?
You're a good hunter?
No, people say that I'm always on the loose like a moose.
So that's how that happened.
So you're a troublemaker.
I got it.
Okay.
No more.
You're in good company.
Welcome to the show.
Good.
Hey, so I have a question for you.
So with this government shutdown that's going on, my girlfriend, she works in the federal park for one of the prisons out here.
And with the shutdown going on, they're going to shut down and take away her job, put her on furlough.
Well, why can't they do the same thing to like the Senate?
Like, if you don't work, you don't get paid.
You know what I'm saying?
But they get to work.
I don't think anybody in the House or Senate should get a dime.
I don't think they should get a penny.
Yeah, it's no pay.
I know that our Congressman John Curtis is talking about pushing a bill saying that if you don't work, you don't get paid.
No questions asked.
That's insane.
I mean, why do they always pass these laws like Obamacare, but they exempt themselves.
They force us into their horrible health care system, but they exempt themselves from their horrible health care system.
Pretty amazing.
I don't understand it.
I don't understand it.
Oh, I do.
Because they think they're better than us.
I know what it is.
Like John Kerry.
My work is important.
I am against global warming and carbon emissions, but I've got to travel on my private jet.
I don't have a problem that he has a private jet.
I have a problem that he's a hypocrite.
Yeah, yeah.
He thinks his work is more important than your work.
It's not.
Right.
And, you know, with the government shutdown or the government's down, what about us paying our taxes every day?
We still have to pay taxes, but they get to sit down and do nothing.
Pretty much.
Why the Republicans are making our life here at home a better life for us?
Because the last administration obviously didn't do that.
Listen, I'm just urging everybody, keep this fresh in your mind because elections will have consequences.
I don't have a lot of hope for New York.
Linda hates when I say that, but I don't.
Moose, appreciate it, man.
God bless you.
800-941-Sean, you want to be a part of the program?
Ken, my free state of Florida.
What's up, Ken?
How are you?
Yeah, Kent.
Sean calling from Brooksville.
Just wanted to let you know that I put through calls to the speaker, to John Done's office, and also to my own congressman.
Debris Resurrect Tom Price.
I know you remember him from the 6th District of Georgia when I lived up there.
I do.
In Winnack County, and actually, that's where I got hannotized way back before you were in Fox.
This is actually your WGST days.
I wanted to, you know, he put through.
Here's a question.
If you were listening to me from 92 to 96, those were the years I was in Atlanta.
Yep.
Am I much different?
Yep, I came down from Virginia in 1990, December 26, 1990 was the last day I lived in Virginia.
I lived in the county until 2016.
Oh, have I changed much or am I pretty much the same dope I always was?
Okay, you're just like Charlie Kirk, man.
You're consistent.
There's nothing.
The only thing is you've improved with age better than a wine, my friend.
That's why I was hannotized like over 30.
Sean, I've been to your Hannity concerts.
I went to Clearwater with you.
WXJB gave me the tickets to be able to go to take my wife.
Yeah, I've been a Hannity fan for years.
Listen, I can't do this without you.
It's my dream come true.
So thank you so much for your steady support over the years.
And I will try to exceed expectations every day.
I guess the biggest thing we got to do right now, Sean, is get the word out about Tom Price's legislation that's sitting in the congressional archives.
Please get him back on your show.
Dust off his.
I think it's a good idea.
I think you're right.
I think it's a good idea to bring it back up.
Bring back his provisions.
He had open market competitiveness in the ACA.
He offered this to Obama 15 years ago.
Think about what ACA would have been, how the tax dollars would have been saved for all of us.
And I also wanted to just put it in the back of your head again to thank you for my son.
He just retired 20 years Air Force last year.
He still has his copy of Let Freedom Ring came from Sean Hannity.
Wow.
Listen, I bet you're very proud of him.
You should be.
We're grateful for people like your son that protect our liberties and freedom that we often take for granted.
We shouldn't.
And thank you so much for your kind words, your support over these many years.
We've got a lot of, you know, the fight never stops.
Reagan said freedom is but one generation away from extinction, and we got to fight for that liberty, that freedom, that gift every single day.
God bless you, my friend.
Don't wait so long to call.
We'd love hearing from you.
800-941-Sean, our number.
If you want to be a part of the program, let's say hi to John United Socialist Utopia out in Gavins, California.
What's up?
How do you like your part-time governor, your full-time Tweety bird, your full-time Trump troller, your full-time podcaster?
I could say a lot about that.
But first, I want to say you're a great American.
Saw you live here in San Diego 15, 20 years ago.
Wow.
Thank you.
Keeping on, keeping on those airwaves.
I think you're a true, true American in all sense of that word.
And I've enjoyed listening to you all these years.
Is that where you're still stationed in San Diego?
I didn't serve, but I am a product of military intelligence.
I was born in Coronado, and my biological uncle, he was here.
He served.
And that's the reason I'm here on planet Earth.
It's one of the most beautiful parts of the country, in my view.
The Del Coronado is one of the nicest hotels.
Kind of like the Breakers in Palm Beach or the Rich Carlton in Naples, Florida.
I mean, there are some really, really cool places to stay.
Yeah, those would be on my top three.
Yeah, the Hotel Dell is great.
You know, I love it.
I surf.
I have fly fish.
I Bow Hunt.
And I love it all.
You know, the hard thing is being here all these years.
I just turned 50, so I've seen quite a bit of change.
And, you know, my son's 22.
But I'm definitely, there's so many points here you made that are so true, Sean.
I just, just, just listening to what you're just saying.
And I think the kids are that we're one generation away, and the kids are the future of this nation.
And I see, I think the liberals are playing a long game with what's going on in the classrooms and universities.
They've been doing it for a long time.
I remember when I was in elementary school, I was taught the preamble to the Constitution and sang the Pledge of Allegiance.
And I still remember the preamble to the Constitution word for word.
And, you know, I also think that we are at a turning point.
And that I was listening to something that I think you would really appreciate.
Paul Harvey, he wrote a thing or one of his radio shows.
He did Freedom to Change.
It's so relevant.
And I would encourage every listener to just YouTube Freedom to Change and just listen to what Paul Harvey says.
Because, I mean, he helped pave the way for Rush and you.
And just I got to meet Paul Harvey once.
I met him in Chicago at the induction in the Radio Hall of Fame of Scott Shannon.
And I got to induct Scott Shannon into the Radio Hall of Fame, which was the honor of a lifetime for me.
Meeting Paul Harvey was the honor of a lifetime for me.
He was such a gentleman, such a great broadcaster.
I don't think anybody could ever duplicate his very, very brilliant, incredible genius and delivery and style.
He was a true original, a great pioneer, and he's sorely missed.
Good day.
You know, Paul Harvey.
And now, the rest of the story.
I mean, just amazing man, amazing human being.
There's a thing I really wanted.
I was thinking about a family month in honor of Charlie Kirk.
And I was thinking the month of, I know you're pretty close to Trump, and he listens to everybody, the common man to the, you know, the highest levels, the gardeners.
I mean, he's just all.
He hears me sometimes.
He doesn't always listen to me.
He hears me, but he doesn't necessarily listen.
I'm just thinking out loud, maybe a family month, perhaps the month of April, in honor of Charlie's legacy and also celebrating Christianity and family and values and even a flag.
It could be a son with a man and a woman and a child holding hands, looking at it like silhouetted on a trail to the mountains.
And I think that would be a powerful flag because I think we really, O'Reilly said it years ago and it always stuck with me that families are a stabilizer for society and for our country.
And I think if, as Paul Harvey so wisely said years ago, if anything that happens to our country and that freedom to change, he said it will be an inside job.
And you look at what's happening now.
You asked me about what's happening in California.
It's an inside job.
You look at, you know, like the 2028.
It's just, we're at such a turning point in time.
That's why I felt so compelled to call and express all that.
I just well, I'm glad you did call.
I'm glad you're out there.
I am very, very, very appreciative of you being out there.
Young people like you are the future of this country.
We're fighting for a better America for you.
And anyway, I just appreciate your time.
I really do.
Thank you, my friend.
Thank you, sir.
And keep on keeping on, as Paul Harvey would say.
Yeah, thank you, my friend.
God bless you.
All right, quick break right back to our busy phones, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
Back to our busy telephones, 800-941.
Sean is our number.
Roger in Missouri.
Roger, how are you?
I'm doing wonderful.
Thank you very much, Sean, for taking my call.
Well, thank you for calling.
Glad you're out there.
Yes, sir.
I have something that I think leverages extremely well for right now with the shutdown.
I think we can impact the national debt and leverage this against the trade-offs that the Democrats want.
I think we could take the $43 trillion that is in pre-tax money in the United States, of which 80% approximately is with the baby boomers.
We can incentivize a conversion this year now and pay down the debt potentially of that $43 trillion.
We could pay $5, $6 trillion down.
We could change the economics of the United States, and we could really leverage that money for use for better purposes.
So I think there's a real opportunity for Trump early in his term.
I think working with Congress, they could make something like that happen.
And I think the world could benefit because of the strength it would bring to the United States, reducing our debt service every month.
I think what you're describing is a brilliant idea.
And that's what I predicted on day one when this started becoming very real, that this could open the door for Trump 2.0.
Interestingly, as I mentioned, the Washington Post kind of caught up with my idea and said, you know, Democrats, you may be pretty stupid.
Be careful what you wish for because Donald Trump is outmaneuvering you and you don't even know it because of what you just described.
And that's exactly what he's doing.
So, you know, let's see how this all plays out.
Let's watch it.
But we've got to balance, you know, well, not even balance.
We have got a responsibility to leave this country in better shape than that which we inherited it, you know, from the greatest generation, that which, you know, we take for granted.
And you can't continue to spend the way we're spending and rob from our children and our grandchildren and future generations and leave this mountain of debt on them.
It's got to end.
I appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Well, the second anniversary of October 7th, 2023, that terrorist attack on Israel is upon us, and the world's going to come together, honor the 1,200 souls murdered, and remember those still held in captivity, those that suffered so much since that day and the ongoing wars and attacks, you know, the commitment of radical Islamists.
They want to wipe Israel off the map.
It's in Hamas's charter.
We'll find out in a day or two if they're going to let this deadline for peace pass.
Wouldn't surprise me if they do, and Israel will finish the job.
I mean, based on their population size versus ours, that would be the equivalent on a single day of losing 40,000 Americans in one day.
And I'm not sure when I hear anti-Semitism in the halls of Congress or on college campuses or worldwide as it grows or in the punditry class.
I'm not so sure what part of murder, rape, kidnapping, torture, beheading, what part of what level of ignorance that you don't realize how many tens and tens and tens and tens of thousands of rockets have been fired into Israel over the years and that they can no longer, you know, their very survival is hanging in the balance if they don't win their war.
