Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
Guaranteed human.
Welcome aboard.
Glad you're with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, as we continue, we're broadcasting live.
We are in the DC swamp, which is not as swampy as it used to be.
I got to just start with something on a personal note.
By the way, congratulations to Matt Van Epps.
I will tell you, I think that the left did everybody a favor.
It's going to be close.
It's going to be a nail biter.
We got a chance to win.
Look, I am never going to tell you before an election what I really think in terms of I knew we'd win this race.
It was a matter of margins.
Looks like 10 points, whatever the final margin is, 10 plus points.
And because if you get complacent because I'm telling you we're going to win, then we're not going to win.
Look, we're all kind of getting a little bit in holiday mode and you spend time with your liberal relatives.
And, you know, maybe you like Linda and you left doggy bags outside of Thanksgiving dinner.
I can't believe, you know, what do you put in a doggy bag for Thanksgiving?
You know, turnips, mashed potatoes, turkey.
You put in there a little cranberry sauce.
Is that what you put in?
What did you put in your bag that you didn't?
You didn't do a doggy bag.
You did.
Stop lying.
You're lying to the audience.
Ziploc and Glad has come a long way.
You can put just about anything in a doggy bag these days.
And it travels well.
And you put, let me guess, you put turnips.
No.
Mashed potatoes.
I would have given them turnips.
I didn't make it this year.
You put mashed potatoes?
I didn't make mashed potatoes.
You know what I made this year?
My son was very.
Oh, wait a minute.
The air-fried french fries, which no kid wants.
I made sweet potato casserole with pecans and marshmallows.
All right, so let me guess.
You scoop it out.
That's right.
You throw it in the bag.
I do.
And then you put the turkey in.
Yes, but I was kind.
On some of the items, I put them into actual plastic containers.
Oh, like separate bags.
Well, no.
Like the bags had like the turkey and the stuffing because it's fine.
Okay.
You know what?
We're wasting time.
And I put a nice bow on it.
You did not.
You did not.
Where's a picture?
Gobble gobble.
I totally have it on my ring camera.
Get it off your ring camera.
Okay.
And I'll bet you Eddie.
Except what you'll do is you'll stage it.
I will not stage it.
You're going to stage it.
Funny story.
So we're eating Tomahawk steaks the night before Thanksgiving.
I love steak.
As everyone knows, I'm meat and eggs.
It's a shocker.
Okay.
And then one of the people at the table, one of my dearest friends, he loves chocolate chip cookies.
And this guy, he gets 30,000 steps in a day.
This guy is an animal when it comes to working out, health, wellness, fitness, nutrition.
So he can eat anything he wants.
I would love to be in his position.
I'm constantly, although I'm not like these crazy people.
I couldn't believe I'm looking at the New York Post today and they have this whole article about Ozempic and how people take it too far.
I mean, I'm looking at like Latoya Jackson.
You know, it's really bad when I don't know who the celebrities are.
Oh, there's Ariana Grande.
They got Amy Schumer in that article.
They're unrecognizable.
Okay, but probably Amy Schumer, it's probably healthy for her.
See, I don't have a problem if people are heavy.
I have no problem at all.
But I think everyone should think about a healthy weight.
If you're healthy weight, I'm six foot tall.
I have a decent amount of muscle first for a person my age.
I work out regularly and I have a healthy weight.
So I'm steady 184 to 186.
That's my weight.
That's perfectly fine.
Sweet baby James is five inches shorter than me.
He looks fat.
And he weighs more than me.
No, he does not look fat.
He does.
Stop lying to him.
He does.
I bought him breakfast this morning.
Can I get back to the monologue of the show?
I got it.
So anyway, I knew this whole thing was going to unfold the way it did.
But if I come on the air and I say, ah, this is a slam dunkedon, then people won't show up.
And you have to assume in every election that your vote is that important.
And we're going to start out the new year after, you know, we got off on a tangent, obviously, but we're going to start off the new year.
And I'm going to come on the air and you're going to hear urgency in my voice because in my heart of hearts, I truly believe this is the most historic and pivotal midterm in our lifetime.
And for Republicans to win and for Donald Trump not to be investigated to death and impeached to death, and for all of these changes to really take hold, he's going to need, you know, the four years to be able to work.
Democrats won't let him do a thing if, in fact, they're in power.
They just hate him.
As we often have said, if he cures cancer, you know, they would still hate him.
And, you know, and the left is definitely got a motivation, and their motivation is hatred.
And hatred can be a great motivator in life.
I personally don't recommend it.
I think, you know, my religious teachings, I've learned this in life too.
Anger really hurts you more than it hurts the person that you're hating.
Linda has not learned this lesson yet.
Otherwise, she would have abandoned her hate list.
How many people are on your hate list now?
How many people?
13.
13 people.
That's not including celebrities.
Am I on your hate list?
No.
Have I ever been?
You might have, you might have coasted in the dislike.
In the dislike.
Perhaps.
How many categories are there?
There's strong dislike.
What about hate?
Hate is like, yeah, I wouldn't pee on you if you're on fire.
I wouldn't pee on you if you're on fire.
That's very descriptive.
I really appreciate it.
Absolutely.
Feel free to use it.
Sounds like you could put it in the steel dossier.
Listen, if those people brought me in that skiff, forget about it.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm just saying.
And for the record, everyone understand that this is theater of the mind.
Linda does not believe half the stuff she's saying.
It's utter nonsense.
I have 13 people I hate.
Anyway, so I'm here in DC and everything's changed.
And it's so frustrating to me.
So I've been talking to the mother of Andrew Wolf.
Andrew Wolf is in the hospital.
He is one of the two guardsmen that have been shot.
Sarah Beckstrom was only 20 years old.
They're both from West Virginia.
They both came here to keep the city safe.
And she died from her injuries.
I can, actually, I spoke to somebody last night.
I won't say who, who's been in touch with the family.
They don't want to talk to anybody because otherwise I would pick up a phone and I would call them and offer my condolences.
I don't know why, but sometimes when you're in the public eye and you make a phone call, it makes a difference.
I don't think I'm any more important than anyone else that would call, but if you show love and concern, and I've really become friends with Andrew's mom, Melody.
And, you know, I think the world of her, she's a deeply devout, religious woman praying for her child.
He's clinging to life, fighting for life.
They did have some good news yesterday.
And she has asked me repeatedly to ask all of you to pray for her son.
He's only 24 years old.
But we're hopeful that he's going to be able to pull through this.
And this is where my rage and anger come in.
And by the way, Donald Trump is now coming out publicly, and the Pentagon announced all National Guard members deployed to D.C. are going to be armed.
I mean, you can't do anything else.
But the demonization doesn't stop.
The never-ending mantra of Gestapo, brown shirts, Nazis, fascists continues.
You know, I didn't get to this yesterday on the program, the front cover of the New York Post, hand them over.
And it's a story.
New York State released 7,000 known illegal immigrant criminals without notifying ICE, and all of them are being protected by sanctuary laws.
The Department of Homeland Security said the feds now are demanding that the New York Attorney General, Letitia James, hand over all the migrants.
I had Pam Bondi on Hannity last night.
We were talking about this very thing.
Another case came up.
I mentioned it on air yesterday.
The New York Post covered that case.
And it's unfathomable that, you know, Gavin, sanctuary state policies, you can get a commercial driver's license.
That guy that killed three people in my home state of Florida, that guy had taken the test, what, seven times before he passed it.
And then after the accident that killed three people, we learned he didn't speak English and he couldn't read road signs.
I would imagine that if you want to be an 18-wheeler driver, that that should be a prerequisite.
But the idea that you're in the country illegally, don't speak the language, can't read a road sign, and we put you behind, basically we put you in a missile, you know, where you can kill people.
It is such a danger.
You know, among the people in New York, New York, Linda's, you know, where she visits often, you know, these thugs get New York Sanctuary State status.
Federal immigration authorities had to intervene and rearrest multiple felons.
But you look at the people that they're arresting.
This guy, what's his name?
Jesus Romero Hernandez, Mexican national, removed from the U.S. six times between July and September of 2016.
Trump got rid of him, makes it back in under Biden.
And, you know, this guy was cut loose in New York after serving 179 days in jail for attacking an Ithaca police officer.
You attack a police officer, throw him in a cell by themselves and give them bread and water, and that's it.
You're done.
You don't attack police officers.
We don't respect police.
By the way, Ron DeSantis, my governor, oh boy, New York better get ready.
You have no idea what Governor DeSantis is going to do.
I think the idea is brilliant.
You have this other guy, last name Kim, resident of Uzbekistan, arrested by New York State police for charges, including use of a child under 17 years of age in a sexual performance, rape, second degree, patronizing a person less than 15 years of age in the second degree, convicted, sentenced to serve to time served.
He was sentenced to time served and five years probation.
Then, of course, New York probation refused to assist ICE in locating this guy or handing him over to ICE, which should be standard operating procedure.
They are protecting pedophiles.
I mean, when your mindset is, is that you put the rights of these people over others, it's unbelievable.
You have another Stephen Danielle Henriquez Galicia, a Dominican national, you know, is in the Bronx, attempted murder, attempted assault, reckless endangerment, criminal weapons possession, but was turned loose despite an ICE detainer against the guy.
You know, and the same thing happens in all these sanctuary cities, all these sanctuary states.
What do I keep saying?
And I sound maybe like a broken record.
If I do, I'm sorry, but it's just true.
And that is, you know, they have blood on their hands.
Now we look at this case.
We have these two people, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolf, who's clinging to life.
Sarah loses her life.
And what do we learn about these Afghan refugees?
Biden Harris, just like they said, border were closed, border secure, border closed, border, none of it, which is true.
You know, 76,000.
They told us, Mayorkas, we're so proud of our resettlement thing.
It's one of a source of great pride.
Well, they had 5,000-plus flag for national security concerns.
They still let them into your country.
6,868 flag for derogatory information, meaning ding, ding, ding, five-alarm fire.
They let them in anyway.
Nearly a thousand flag for fraud, a thousand flag for public safety.
And we still have nearly a thousand of them still at large that are national security risks.
We have no idea where they are.
Now, I don't have to be a genius to come on the air and make the prediction that it's not a matter of if, but it's when we're going to continue to see Americans die.
Now, you tell me, anybody out there, why you want that party back in power?
And when I come on the air and I tell you this is the most important midterm in 2026, and I am adamant about it, and I'm going to give you all these reasons and remind you every day.
And I'll get the predictable by April.
Hannity, you're repeating yourself.
I do it on, I'm telling you now, it's a strategy.
I do it on purpose.
If I say something on this radio program one time, you're not going to remember it.
If I say it often, by the time we get to the summer, you're going to be able to tell every friend, every neighbor, every co-worker, everybody in your life why the urgency of them needing to vote.
And I'll tell you, historical trends are against us.
In the last hundred years, the party in power has maintained control of Congress in the first midterm only three times.
The last time was after 9-11, which was a very unique set of circumstances.
So I'm just hoping and praying that all of you understand.
And I know I like that everybody in Nashville panicked yesterday.
I like that they said the polls are close because then it gave us an opportunity to wake people up.
I'm telling you now: enjoy your vacation.
Come back ready for the biggest political fight of your life because everything's on the line.
Either the country continues to progress in a good way, or we're all going to be eating out of Linda's dorgi bags because they're going to stop all the prosperity and success that we all want.
25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941.
Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
We're having a little bit of a dispute over the Christmas music that we're playing on the show because I prefer, what is it, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Mannheim Steamrollers.
Yeah, this is silly.
Just listen to it.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like I'm getting hit by a train at Christmas.
Thank you.
It's just like you're tasting food.
You have no taste.
It's so relaxing.
I love this.
No, it's.
Baby Jesus is being born.
Awesome.
All right.
And Linda wants to go back and play Bing Crosby.
And here comes Santa Claus.
Burlives, Bing Crosby.
We just played some lovely wham, George Michael.
I don't want to play George Michael.
Why not?
George Michael.
Let me tell you what artists do.
They come up with a Christmas album.
Yeah.
And it's all about making money.
Oh, my God.
We're not capitalists anymore.
I am, but I'm like, they don't really care about Christmas music.
I don't think most of them.
Yeah, they care about money, but they made good music about Christmas.
I don't think it is.
I don't.
Really?
Now, I just have a little, I might have a little nostalgia for Bing Crosby and some of that, but I prefer the Trans-Siberian.
Stop.
You know, I'm dreaming.
You're irritating me.
Christmas.
Everybody loves that.
Was it Danny Kaye?
Yes.
Remember?
It's an amazing movie.
Oh, good grief.
Miracle on 34th.
I didn't know I was working at the Christmas Gestapo with you.
You're not working at the Christmas Gestapo.
Because the train comes every half.
Okay, it's called the Sean Hannity Show.
Of Manhuham Steamroller Only at Christmas.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Also, where is your Giving Christmas?
By the way, I'm going to try and go to their concert.
They have a concert come up.
You should go.
You would love it.
Look at where your conductor is our audience, to quote you, would love it too.
All right.
We have, I want to go to it with all that has happened and all that has gone on, you know.
And I just mentioned New York, and I just mentioned the sad stories of Sarah Bextrom, 20 dead, murdered, and the prime, you know, just beginning her life.
I mean, I don't know how the parent ever recovers from that.
Or I've been talking to Andrew Wolfe, 24 years old.
He's clinging to life in a hospital here in our nation's capital, both National Guardspeople from West Virginia, wonderful families.
And here's this idiot, Jacob Frey, or whatever his name is, the Minneapolis mayor, saying his city's not going to cooperate with ICE.
I was talking to Mayor Carter about this just recently, and here's the thing: our police officers are not ICE agents, they will not cooperate with ICE agents.
But the presence of ICE agents doesn't suddenly make our police officers not police officers.
I want our police officers keeping people safe.
I want our police officers responding to violent crime.
All right.
Now, we have this massive scandal in terms of, you know, they have a very large Somali population in Minneapolis.
And even though he was warned, you know, Mr. Macho Man, the guy that was going to relate to men, according to Kamala Harris, he was warned by everybody around him that there was deep corruption in a big part of the Somalia community in terms of benefits, government benefits, to the tune of a billion dollars.
And he wouldn't lift a finger because he didn't want to offend them.
And here's the mayor of Minneapolis, you know, speaking Somalian during a press conference.
That's not American.
That's not what we are about.
I don't have a problem with him speaking.
I don't have a problem with him speaking Somalian.
What I have a problem is they don't want to dare look out for taxpayer dollars again the radical left putting the interests of others above what is in the best interest of the people that they're supposed to represent.
We have a couple of updates from New York, New York.
And here's what I'm going to tell people, friends of mine, and give me credit.
I did urge everyone to vote against Mamdani.
I saw what was coming.
I knew Mamdani was going to win.
Linda, living in her fantasy world, would come on the air every day.
No, no, Curtis is going to win.
Curtis is going to win.
Curtis is going to win.
Curtis didn't win.
Curtis, you know.
But that's not fair.
We have a rigged election system in New York.
You know that.
We got people who came in the day before voting.
You're wrong.
You're 100% wrong.
I don't like the system in New York and it needs to be changed.
I'll agree.
I'll concede that point, but that's not why Curtis lost.
Why did he lose?
Because Democrats are out-registering Republicans in that Adam shiff hole of a city.
They're registering dead people.
They're registering illegals.
They're registering people.
No, yes.
Okay.
He got seven, a little over seven percent of the vote.
I know that, but I will tell you.
That's about the percentage of Republicans in New York City.
Listen, I feel you, but even then.
I don't need you to feel me.
I need you to understand me.
You're ridiculous.
Stop feeling me.
Even the sound like a woke-triggered leftist.
I use the words the way I like to use them.
I take them from the woke.
I take them back.
But I'm telling you right now: Democrats are outspending the Republicans and they are using everybody that's not supposed to be voting to vote.
Okay, listen to me.
It was, it should have been a five-alarm fire when Mamdani kicked Andrew Cuomo's ass in the primary by double digits.
And Andrew shouldn't have run.
All right, then everybody all of a sudden just, you know, they go numb and dumb and they ignored what happened in the primary.
And then, you know, two weeks before election day, oh, everyone's got to get out of the race and make it a one-on-one.
No, no, this actually speaks to your point.
I'm going to give you a compliment.
So wait, you're going to be happy about what I'm going to say.
To your point of repetition, the reason why people were numb and dumb is because the onslaught of horrible things that are happening, which New York has way too many of, overwhelms people.
They're not paying attention to the election like we are.
They're not even awake until the week before.
The Mamdani people were awake.
The Momdani people were paid for protesters.
They're all part of that.
They all voted and they got them elected.
Yeah, some of them voted eight times.
Okay, you don't have any evidence of this.
The guy came out.
You know what is?
You just don't want to admit.
I told you the entire time there's no way Mamdani loses.
You didn't want to listen.
You didn't want to hear.
Now, I happen to be, you know, I went up for an event for my sister, one of my rare days in New York, which I never go there.
And I had to visit my sister while I am there.
I'm in New York City.
And I'll call it a bubble part of the city.
It does not represent, you know, the boroughs of New York City.
Let's say it's more affluent.
It is, and everybody sat there around a table.
There may have been 30 people.
And I'm listening to them.
And I'm thinking in my head, you're all delusional and dumb.
Not that they're not nice people.
Everybody we know, even Curtis, they really think that Cuomo is going to win.
I'm like, then finally, finally, somebody said, Sean, what do you think?
And I said, well, you all live in a bubble.
I said, you're all talking to each other.
I said, where you live in New York is a bubble.
It is not representative of what New York City really is.
And even though everybody in your little bubble maybe represents a couple thousand people are going to vote the way you say.
But I said, it's going to be a landslide.
Mamdani's going to win.
And they looked at me like I had four heads on my head.
And I'm like, I told you.
And, you know, afterwards, my sister starts getting all these phone calls.
How did your brother know?
I'm like, because I read a thousand, I read three books before I come on the air every day.
You're making my point.
No, I'm not making your point.
You were wrong.
I'm saying, You kept saying up to election day that Curtis Lee would do it.
You were wrong.
I admit I was wrong on Curtis.
Say, well, slow down.
I admit.
I admit that I was wrong.
No, no, you're going to make it a stager.
The bottom line is.
No, no, dude, say the whole statement.
I admit that I was wrong on Curtis.
No, stop it wrong.
Oh, my God.
Anywho, my point is that your issue of what you're saying, they're not awake.
They don't know anything.
They live in a building.
Oh, okay.
So they live in a bullet.
That is true.
Okay, but the point is you were living in a bubble.
I don't live in a bubble.
You were delusional.
You were as delusional as everybody else.
Absolutely not.
You were delusional.
I was actually overinformed, and that's how I know all the things that are happening.
Como and Curtis combined didn't beat Mamdani.
It was over.
I disagree with that.
Now, because I care about friends that I left behind when I moved to the free state of Florida, I had now completed my second full year in Florida.
You gloat all the time.
Not gloating.
Oh, my God.
I can't wait to get the house.
You're mailing people sunblock.
You're so excited.
You live in Florida.
You're like, come visit me.
I live at the palm tree.
The only part of me that's tan is like the occasional times I'll go out.
You notice I said you blame 90.
You're a sunblock.
You're mailing sunblock, not a sundam lotion.
Anyway, so now here's the net result.
It's going to impact the entire state.
And the sad part is, is Nassau County is run by a county executive by the name of Bruce Blakeman, who is a great guy.
I would love to be able to tell you that I thought Elise Stefanik had a real good shot at winning.
Maybe in the end she does.
But here's the problem.
And I'm sure my friends in New York don't want to hear this, but I don't care.
I'm telling you the truth because I tell the truth.
The real governor in New York is no longer Kathy Hochul.
She is governor in name only, like Schumer is the minority leader in the Senate in name only.
He is beholden to the radical left, just like Hakeem Jeffries is leader in the House in name only.
I am telling you, Mamdani is going to get every single solitary thing that he wants, all the money for his free buses, all the tax increases he wants.
I'm just going to give it to him.
Kathy Hochl will bow it.
You want to bet.
You're wrong.
I'm not wrong.
You are always wrong.
I'm just always wrong.
You go to the next wrong prediction.
Definitely not.
That I will stand on.
She is indicating she's now open to it.
Look at cut one today.
Cut one even.
She's like, you can't just say you want to give away free child care.
She knows that he doesn't have to be afraid.
All right, let me play.
Kathy Hogel, you can't just declare there's universal child care.
It is my job as governor to make sure that whomever the mayor is, they're successful.
I work closely with Eric Adams.
I work with Bill de Belasio during the time we overlapped.
And I'm committed to making sure that we focus on the issues like building more housing to reduce the cost of rent, that we focus on child care.
I already started universal child care in the state of New York.
We're on the path to get there.
But what people need to realize is that you can't just declare there's universal child care.
You have to have enough facilities.
You have to have enough teachers and caregivers.
And so we've worked on this over the last couple years to really position ourselves to take more steps together.
And I know that's a priority of the mayoral acts, and we can work on that together.
Okay.
So Kathy Hochle makes that declaration.
She's right, but she's going to fund it.
The reason, she's going to want Mamdani's endorsement.
This is a big problem for the entire Democratic Party.
Then she says, oh, there's a lot of common ground with Mamdani.
That is her making the transition to, I need this guy's support or I'll never be governor again.
That is her trying not to be firebombed in her house.
I am telling you she could challenge, he could challenge her for the nomination and he would win in that stupid state that you visit way more than I do.
I don't know that he would or he wouldn't win, but I know for a fact that while she maintains control, she's going to fight.
Okay, more evidence because you're not paying attention.
I am paying attention.
More evidence.
Kathy Hochl, listen to her saying here, oh, she doesn't rule out raising business taxes, which she had said she's against.
Listen.
So would you raise business taxes then?
Because Mr. Momdani keeps saying New York doesn't pay as much in business taxes as Jersey does.
And that's not true.
Businesses pay a payroll tax.
There's plenty.
You tax everything.
We have other taxes as well.
So I would just say this.
The budget process is unfolding.
We'll be working with the legislators over the next couple months, and we'll find out how we can take off a bite of what we need to do.
Like what is doable in this upcoming year and the following year?
Would you veto a tax increase?
I'm not raising income taxes.
But anything else?
No, no, no, what about business?
Anything else has to go into our budget process.
So we're not there yet.
We don't know what our needs are.
All right.
I have nothing else to add except two words for you.
Check and mate.
Check, mate.
I win.
I have two words for you.
You're wrong.
To be continued.
The defense's case is wrong.
It's wrong.
I got to give it to you.
That was funny.
This is an iHeart podcast.
