Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll free telephone number.
If you want to be a part of this extravaganza, it's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to join us, we are back in New York.
Linda, we're in New York where you often talk like a New Yorker.
Welcome.
First of all.
First of all, we missed you.
Welcome home.
Do you realize the only day of the year, last year and this year that I broadcast from New York is right now.
This is it.
Patriot Award.
I'm here for the Patriot Awards.
I am emceeing tonight.
And I already having heart palpitations.
You know, don't want to get near because it's New York.
Well, the good news is it's Nassau County.
Bruce Blakeman's a rock star.
By the way, Republicans and Nassau crushed it on Tuesday night.
They absolutely crushed it.
They had an amazing night here.
And we're hosting the Fox News Patriot Awards, which to me is, it really is a great honor to be the MC of this.
And I'm very honored by it.
I'm very grateful for it.
And I have all my Fox friends and colleagues.
They're all here.
And it's just an exciting time.
But what makes this show so different and what I love about it, and you've been before, is that we honor the unsung heroes, the people that day in and day out around this country do heroic things, amazing work, and never get or expect any recognition.
And the stories of the people that we are going to be honoring tonight are unbelievable.
You can watch the show.
The show sold out, but you can watch it if you go to FoxNation.com.
I think it begins at 8.
Am I right about that?
I think it begins at 8.
And I'm very excited.
I'm very honored.
It's a special night.
There's special people.
We have great, great superstar guests.
Now, if you recall, I never overpromise and under-deliver.
I kept telling you that if I could tell you, and I was not allowed, you know, they didn't want to announce it, but I knew who was coming.
Melania Trump is coming tonight.
And Erica Kirk is coming tonight.
And Jason Aldean will be performing tonight.
Not just one song.
he's going to be performing twice and he's doing something really i don't want to give the i don't want to give the show away um and And, you know, then I get to be the MC of it all.
It's very cool.
You watched last year's show.
What did you think?
I thought you were irreverent.
And I thought, I wonder how much they paid him to wear that tux.
Paid me?
Who's him?
Yeah.
Whoever was in charge of getting you in that suit.
I was shocked.
I have an outfit change in the middle of the show.
Oh, my.
But, you know, this is what I hate about, I cannot stand the Grammy Awards.
I can't stand, you know, you know, you have a better list.
The Academy of Chaos and did Devil Went Down to Georgia, I think I would be thrilled, actually.
And so would Charlie Daniels Jr.
That's the one song you can sing.
I probably could have worked that out with Jason Aldean, but I, you know, why would I ruin?
I felt bad at times when I do the devil went down to Georgia.
We did it in these massive, you know, venues with 20,000 people in them sometimes.
And, you know, Devil went down to Georgia.
He was looking for a soul to steal.
He's in a buying way behind, looking to make a deal.
And he comes across this young man song on a fill and playing it hot.
Well, Devil jumped up on a Hickory Stump and said, boy, let me tell you what.
I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle.
Whatever.
I got something wrong.
That's really good.
Like, it's hard to do that.
It's really, really good.
Well, it's like you do the American financing.net Hannity.
Yes, completely synonymous.
Okay, you recorded it.
You say you did it in one take.
Oh, okay, Jason.
Did I do it in one take or not?
You know, Jason would tell you the truth.
You did it in one take, okay?
That's the truth.
Get off your back.
Get off her back.
That's right.
That's right.
Preach.
She did it in one take.
And I'm right next to you.
Yeah, she did it in one take.
You know, I'm a mixed martial artist.
Oh, my God.
Oh, really?
We've never had a lot of time.
The Hannity Show only tells the truth.
Oh, by the way, Sensei's already been here, and we've been hanging.
Dr. Cobran's been here.
He wanted to bring like a Medivac team because I refused to go to the office to get a check.
And I kept telling him, you know, today's not the day.
I just don't have enough time.
He goes, well, I'm taking your blood pressure.
I'm like, oh, my gosh.
In the middle of the Fox Nation show, you're going to be rushed off on a stretcher.
He might be if he would have done all this.
And it's not hard to carry an EKG machine.
He goes, I make you do this once a year.
You better do it.
And I'm like, he's giving me a deadline.
And I love him to death.
But he is here.
We have a lot.
Oh, you know what?
The hangover controversy from yesterday's show is, oh, my gosh.
Have you noticed how it's blown up?
He had this wonderful woman.
She was from my free state of Florida, but originally from New York, who called in.
Remember, she was very angry with me.
We had two interesting callers yesterday.
One was the atheist guy that believes, well, quantum particles.
I'm like, where would the quantum particles come from?
To be an atheist, I argue that you have to believe that something can come from nothing.
Because, well, we have the Big Bang Theory.
And I'm like, okay, but where did all of the particles come from to bang together to create universes within universes within universes?
And then just, you know, scientifically, mystically, magically, you know, form what is the most unbelievable, you know, creation that one can imagine.
If you're an atheist, you believe something can come from nothing.
If you're an atheist, no, I think it's far more plausible.
And I know in my heart, I have no doubt in my heart, my mind, my soul, that there is a God, a creator.
We're not designed to know everything about him.
But that got a lot.
I got a lot of feedback on that call yesterday.
And I got a lot of feedback on this poor woman.
She's in my free state of Florida, originally from New York.
And this woman, you know, of course, I did this whole song, New York, New York.
And I wrote this song weeks ago.
What I find so.
Hey, Tiffo, can you bring me a copy of the words?
And I wrote this song weeks ago.
Now, no offense to you, but you were, you know, telling me up to Election Day and through Election Day that Curtis was going to win the race.
And I never want to deflate people before an election because in the end, there have been surprise elections.
But you know what?
I've been doing this too long to see that there was no shot.
It wasn't going to happen.
It just wasn't.
And, you know, so I took Frank Sinatra's song.
I rewrote it.
You know, start spreading the news.
I'm leaving today.
No longer want to be a part of it.
High tax, New York.
You know, these commie mumdani blues are all longing to leave.
Right to the very heart of it.
Bye-bye.
New York.
Spreading the news.
No, no.
I promise to look.
Oh, you're killing me.
Don't want to be a part of it.
High tax New York.
These members are making me leave right to the very heart of it.
Bye-bye, New York.
I want to wake up in a city without bad crime and find there's no way of seeing and no chunky.
These little town blues, they pull me away.
I'll make a brand new start of it outside New York if I can make it fair.
Save money everywhere.
Goodbye, F you.
New York.
New York.
Screw you, New York.
I want to wake up in a city with no man dying and find out pay low taxes.
No crime all day.
Police that are loved.
Criminals go away.
These big city blues have pushed me away.
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it.
The hell away from New York.
And if I can make it there, no Hillary is anywhere.
I'm sick of you.
New York.
New York.
Go F yourself, New York.
You're a complete New York.
All right, the great Joe Pag singing that.
What a collaboration.
What did he cut that like a day?
What did he do at one week?
I think he did it one like one take.
Yeah.
I mean, he's so amazing.
He's so talented and gifted.
He's such a good dear friend.
And I'm very grateful to him for doing that for us.
I am happy with my lyrics.
I could be a songwriter maybe in Nashville in my next life.
I don't know.
Well, it took us away from the cat that you overfed.
But I do have news that we have to get to.
Democrats, you know, there's been a lot of talk about Republican schisms, and the legacy media mob wants to focus on that, but they always want to focus on the wrong things.
The Schumer shutdown continues.
We'll get to that.
It's getting bad now.
Maybe by the weekend is what I'm being told.
It might be a shot at them reopening.
I think that the pressure is getting enormous at this point.
This was pretty interesting.
And it was in the Washington Times today.
AOC warning quote to the old guard, you're going to be left behind.
Oh, wonder who she might be talking about.
Anyway, Zoron, Kami, Marxist Mamdani's stunning win in New York City in the mayoral race blew up an internal fight that now threatens to break apart the Democratic Party ahead of the 2026 midterms.
He's now the face of the Democratic Party.
So listen, and I'm not being critical of AOC.
I've said this for the longest time.
When Nancy Pelosi was speaker, she's speaker in name only.
Hakeem Jeffries is speaker in name only.
And you know what?
AOC is really the dominant voice in the House of Representatives.
I don't think you can take that from her.
And I don't agree with her, but you can't deny that she's very powerful.
Mamdani's celebration was barely underway.
AOC, you know, leader of the Democrats and this, I call, I think it's a radical, you know, wing of the party, but it is what it is.
She probably thinks I'm radical, you know, put a stark warning out to the old guard leader.
She said the Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future, by trying to undercut our young, by trying to undercut the next generation of diverse and upcoming Democrats that have the actual party, the actual electorate and voter support.
Her threat was lobbed directly at the top Democratic leaders who either refused to endorse Mamdani, Schumer, or did so reluctantly, Jeffries, at the last minute and with public assurances that his socialist-inspired agenda did not represent the future of the party, which is exactly what Hakeem Jeffries did.
It puts folks on notice that we have a future to plan and we are either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind.
I mean, we know how she's interpreting these election results.
And by the way, you know, she went hard deep in the paint campaigning for Mamdani, as did Grandpa Bernie and Grandpa Bernie saying the same thing.
Bernie Sanders, you know, hijacked Schumer's press conference, which was pretty amazing.
You know, Schumer was at the podium touting Democratic election wins as a five-alarm fire for Republicans.
Okay.
If you think deep blue New Jersey, deep, deep, deep, deep blue New York City, deep blue Virginia, I've never believed the outlier in Virginia was Glenn Young.
And it was just the perfect candidate, perfect time, perfect issues.
And it just, it was, but it was the exception.
It's not the rule.
It's not a purple state even.
It's a blue state.
And anyway, then Chucky Schumer's there.
Bernie Sanders stepped in, effectively hijacked the entire event, delivering a stinging rebuke, not to Republicans, but to his own leadership.
He criticized the National Party for failing to back successful progressive candidates, specifically Zoron, Marxist Kami Mamdani, and Maine Senate hopeful Graham Plattner.
I think there is growing understanding that leadership and defending the status quo and the inequalities that exist in America is not where the American people are.
They're looking at this as a mandate.
And, you know, his decision to elbow Chucky Schumer off the podium at his own press conference, you know, as AOC is warning the Democratic Party old guard, they better get on board or get out or you're going to be left behind.
This is a moment to remember.
I'll tell you that historically.
What was I just handed here by Ethan?
Oh, here is, okay, Bill Ackman's tweet.
Well, Bill Ackman came under fire.
I like Bill Ackman, actually.
I read his stuff.
I think he's very smart.
He seems to be one of the few people in the financial world that understand how profound it is that Donald Trump has secured trillions in investments in manufacturing in this country, and those jobs are going to be coming online hopefully sooner rather than later, you know, because of the bonus depreciation, 100% bonus depreciation in the one big beautiful bill.
I mean, trillions of dollars.
This country's never seen that before, coupled with the largest tax cuts in American history, you know, coupled with, you know, helping working men and women in this country, no tax on tips, overtime, or social security.
And, you know, add to that, the president moving towards energy dominance.
He was the first president to get us to energy independence in over 75 years.
And anyway, he was fighting against Mamdani getting elected.
Then he tweeted out, if I can ever be of any help, let me know.
In other words, he opened the door and everyone else, his competitors, you know, started hammering him.
I'm like, that's just complete BS.
So he put out the Democrat, what is the DSA called for?
What is it called again?
Democrat Socialists of America anti-war working groups internal document, which they accidentally shared with me.
It includes the group's list of demands for the incoming Mamdani administration.
Shockingly, basically, all the demands are anti-Israel.
And he puts out this memorandum and he writes on top, this is bad.
And it talks about the agenda.
And it gives, you know, they nominate volunteers, co-chairs.
Remember, Linda Sarsour said that Mamdani is going to be listening to everything she tells him to listen to.
Divest city pension funds from Israeli bonds and securities.
Withdraw city funds from banks that lend money to Israel or do business in Israel.
End city contracts with companies that do business with Israel.
Operate city-run grocery stores free of Israeli products.
Wow.
Investigate real estate agents hosting illegal sales of stolen lands in the West Bank.
Evict weapons manufacturers and transporters from the New York City metro area.
Remove nonprofit status from charities that raise money and funds for the IDF.
Divest the City of New York endowment and reinstate wrongly fired professors.
Dismantle Eric Adams, New York City Israel Economic Council, end NYPD training with the IOF and repression of demonstrators and the SRG.
Arrest Netanyahu and activate and active IDF soldiers for war crimes.
This is sick stuff.
I'm telling you, this is sick, sick, sick, you know, virulent anti-Semitism.
You know, but the guy that wouldn't condemn globalized antifada, why would any of you be surprised?
You shouldn't be.
Linda, are you shocked by that?
I am.
I'm appalled.
Say that word again.
Appalled?
I'm appalled.
How do you say it?
Like you're from Florida?
I'm appalled.
I'm appalled.
Florida doesn't have a thick New York accent like you do.
Oh, my God.
First of all, Florida.
Oh, my God.
Florida is New York.
It is.
That's where everybody's going.
No, there are many people that have fled New York and New Jersey and California and Illinois and that have ended up in my free state of Florida.
Many have actually fled to your Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Well, a lot of Californians have actually gone to Texas.
I would say the Northeasterns are going to Florida and South Carolina and Tennessee.
So I was just telling everyone in the last hour, so Crazy Bernie, AOC, Marxist Kami Mamdani plan a hostile takeover.
AOC is warned.
Basically, she's talking directly to Chucky Schumer, you know, when she says the Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future, by trying to undercut our young, by trying to undercut a next generation of diverse and upcoming Democrats that have the actual party, the actual electorate and voter support.
Her threat lobbed directly at top Democrats.
She's going right at Chucky and right at Hakeem Jeffries.
And, you know, she said her threat was lobbed directly at the top Democratic leaders who either refused to endorse Mr. Mamdani or did so reluctantly at the last minute.
The one that did so reluctantly at the last minute was Hakeem Jeffries.
The one that didn't was Chucky Schumer.
And with public assurances that his socialist-inspired agenda did not represent the future of the party, a direct hit on Hakeem Jeffries.
Whatever I've been saying, their days are numbered.
I've been saying they're leaders in name only.
She is confirming my belief system.
She said it puts folks on notice that we have a future to plan.
We are either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind.
Well, let me tell you how that's going to end.
Chuck is out.
Hakeem Jeffries is out.
There's no way they're going to be challenged.
They're not going to be challenged.
Bernie Sanders telling reporters the party's internal divide is no secret.
It's about to intensify in primary races across the U.S.
So what we're going to see are more people, more squad members running for Congress and the Senate.
What we're seeing in Maine, he said, what you're seeing in New York City, I mean, this lunatic in Maine, the guy with the Nazi tattoo that has said the most vile and hateful things, I assume he, you know, is going to be their nominee against Susan Collins.
Susan Collins is going to get re-elected.
That's what's going to happen in Maine.
Now, I don't agree with Susan Collins on some issues, but she's the only elected person in D.C. from the entire, you know, from New England states.
She's it.
And she does try to accommodate the Republican leadership.
She's not like Lisa Murkowski, who just, you know, seems to just hate everything about the Republican Party.
I'm not sure why she stays in it.
And if it wasn't for ranked choice voting, the stupidity that they have in Alaska, she wouldn't even be there.
Anyway, so AOC says what you're seeing in Maine, seeing in New York City, what you're going to see all over the country.
You're going to see progressives running, protecting the needs of working class, taking on big money interests, fighting for an agenda.
This is like the fight the oligarchy tour.
You know what's amazing about that part?
I love that.
They fly around in their private jet.
They fly around in a beautiful big Gulf Stream, you know, with all those carbon emissions.
By the way, I'm not against private jets.
I've flown in them.
And I'm going to tell you something.
It is quite the thing to fly in.
It's pretty awesome, you know, and no problem with that.
The problem is they claim that the environment, the environment, I mean, she's the author of the Green New Deal.
But anyway, I'd actually like to interview AOC.
I bet you I would be nice to her.
I would be nice to her.
I'd have a conversation.
I would not want it to be a seven-minute TV hit.
I'd want it to go on for like two hours and just have a conversation.
Let her talk.
You know, I'll take notes.
I'll respond.
She can take notes instead of shouting over each other.
Have a conversation.
And let me tell you what I believe.
And you can tell me what you believe.
Don't you think that'd be fascinating?
I think it would be.
Are you going to let her get back to her roots and serve drinks while she tries to make a conversation?
I find that.
I hate to tell you.
I hate to tell you, but I have that in common with her because those are my roots, too.
Yeah, but your roots were centered in the, you know, being behind the bar as a stepping stone.
You know, somebody came in one day and said, hey, you want to be a congresswoman?
You'd be fun.
Yeah.
Why are you diminishing?
She's now emerged as the most powerful.
Oh, don't get me wrong.
She was a terrible bartender, too.
Don't get a mixed up.
How do you know what kind of bartender she was?
You know, I know the idea.
I know she was the one who never saw you at the end, even though you stood there for an hour and gave you the wrong drink.
Trust me.
Oh, my God.
You know, you just, you sound very angry today.
I'm not angry.
She's just annoying.
I'm not wrong.
Why wouldn't you want that conversation?
I could have a conversation.
It's not a conversation.
It's her going, um.
I'm going to say that.
Global warming is like real.
Okay.
And then you'd have to wait, and that would be the whole sentence.
You're being mean.
Sources say the NYPD commissioner, Jessica Tisch, will stay on the job, but only if Mamdani agrees to certain conditions.
I don't know what the hell they could be.
That's an interesting side note.
It is getting scary with the Schumer shutdown.
The FAA released a list of airports that could be impacted by cancellations.
Thousands of flights at high-traffic airports around the country are going to be cut or canceled starting Friday.
Great.
Oh, please don't get me trapped in New York.
Please, you know, Heavenly Father, no.
The FAA, which directs more than 44,000 flights a day, including commercial passenger flights, cargo planes, private aircraft, said restrictions will remain in place as long as necessary.
A list obtained by NBC, Chicago, O'Hare, Midway International will be among those impacted.
Atlanta, Hartsfield, Boston, Logan, Anchorage International.
What are people going to do to get home in Alaska?
Baltimore, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Dallas, Reagan National, Denver International, Dallas-Fort Worth International.
I mean, Newark, Liberty, Fort Lauderdale.
Uh-oh.
That's a problem.
That's a big problem.
That's a huge problem.
Even Dulles in D.C.
I mean, I've got interviews coming up.
I got to travel for these interviews.
JFK in New York, Harry Reid International in Vegas, LAX?
Are you kidding me?
LaGuardia?
Oh, my gosh.
This is going to be a disaster.
The Schumer shutdown.
Oh, my gosh.
But I'm sure they'll make an exception for the Fight the Oligarchy planes.
That has got to be prioritized.
It's got to be a top priority.
So we'll watch that very, very closely.
Nancy Pelosi, by the way, we learned, will not seek re-election, ending decades-long House career.
She looked like she was endorsing Newsom over Kamala Harris the other day.
I think we told you about that.
What else do I have here?
Oh, my gosh.
The Schumer shutdown.
House Conservatives back new funding effort.
I mean, we're now up to 15 times that Democrats have rejected opening it.
Sean Duffy warning that 10% of the weekend's flights are going to be canceled just this weekend.
I got to get on one of those flights.
I'm getting out of here.
I'm not going to get trapped in New York.
I have to escape.
Emboldened by their election win, Democrats vow to continue their government shutdown.
That's insane.
Left-wing House Democrats threaten their Senate colleagues saying that there will be hell to pay if they agree to reopen the government.
Well, they already voted for a continuum resolution.
You can't blame them.
They just, you know, and a lot of people now, I'm just not getting involved in the fight of the filibuster because, you know, there's no convincing anybody.
It's not one of those issues.
Top Democrats celebrating Mamdani's win, but they don't really believe it.
David Hogg, remember him, the former DNC vice chair?
No other cities like New York, he said.
The lesson that will be learned here tonight is not every policy in New York should be replicated around the country.
Moving company phone numbers for our New York listening audience as a public service to New York City.
I wanted to give out the phone numbers to some of the more popular moving companies.
If you'd like, we're going to put it on Hannity.com, Allied Van Lines, American Van Lines, Colonial Van Lines, Becken Van Lines, Chelsea U-Haul.
And just look up U-Haul on Google and find the location near you.
Google Maps.
I don't think that's a bad idea.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean is a number.
We are in New York.
This is a special night for me, and I'm being so serious.
I'm so honored, grateful.
We are not like Hollywood patting ourselves on the back.
Well, I'll have a little fun with that, but that's not what this night is about.
It's honoring people that do incredibly courageous, brave, heroic things and never get recognition.
