In the second hour of the "Sean Hannity Show", Sean discusses the impending economic changes driven by Donald Trump's policies, specifically focusing on the resurgence of American manufacturing and the importance of domestic resources. He emphasizes the need for tax cuts and outlines how these factors can lead to significant job growth and economic stability. Sean also engages with Mark Morano, who shares insights from the recent Climate Change Summit in Brazil, exploring the disconnect between climate alarmism and political realities. Together, they unpack the implications of climate policies and their impact on industry and everyday life, particularly in states like California struggling with environmental mismanagement.

Hour two, Sean Hannity Show this Friday, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
As I've been describing for the foundational economic shift that's about to occur, the pieces that have been put in place, the foundational pieces of Donald Trump, it does take time to get into the bloodstream.
Democrats, they think the word affordability is going to get him over the finish line in 26 and in 28.
They are not anticipating what I would argue is pretty much going to be a reality, and that is the president.
You know, we've never had a situation before where we have had trillions of dollars of committed monies in manufacturing, but we now have that from all over the world.
We're going to bring in-house automobile manufacturing that even Obama said that's never going to happen again.
Well, it's happening.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing, we have been far too dependent on foreign countries for that as well.
That's going to happen.
Also, we're going to bring in-house, meaning we're going to have manufacturing facilities for semiconductor chips.
America now is on a rapid pace moving towards rare earth mineral production.
You know, because of environmentalists and extremists, you know, we've not been producing these very critical rare earths, especially that are necessary and needed for automobile manufacturing and our defense industries in particular.
And there was no mining, even though we have a very strong supply of our own natural resources that we have right here in this country.
We've not been allowed to do so.
But the president has made deals with Vietnam, South Korea, Australia, and other places around the world.
This way, we are far less dependent on China, which has been the main source of rare earth minerals.
I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is a big deal.
But then, you know, that's only one piece of the financial or economic triangle that Donald Trump put together.
Tax cuts are going to play a big part in bringing back our economic growth in the economy.
I go back to Reagan, 70 to 28% top rate reduction.
It resulted in 21 million new jobs, longest period of peacetime economic growth.
And it also resulted in revenues to the government doubling.
Problem is, of course, Congress spent $1.23.
Couple that with the energy dominance policies, we're now beginning to feel the impact of those.
Average price of gasoline now about $2.95 a gallon.
Of course, unless you live in California, Gavin Newsome, socialist utopia, you're paying over, you know, close to $5 a gallon, which is insane.
Highest income taxes, sales taxes, and gas taxes, and the highest poverty rate, highest deficits.
It was fourth largest economy in the world with the highest deficits, not exactly ideal.
And California is struggling.
And that's why you've seen this mass migration.
People in business understand that it's just not worth doing business in California anymore.
Now, other factors play into this.
Remember, we talked about a year and a half or so ago about Ford Motor Company had lost a whopping $5 billion because of Joe Biden's EV mandate.
Well, those EV mandates are now gone, as are These restrictive governmental policies in terms of forcing car companies to do things that Americans don't want them to do, increasing the cost of automobiles and is absolutely not necessary because we have an abundance of oil.
One guy that has been on the cutting edge of warning the entire country about this now going on a long time.
He's no stranger to the program.
Mark Murano is with us, author of The Great Reset: Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown, Green Fraud, Why the Green New Deal is Even Worse Than You Think, and the politically incorrect guide to climate change was at this climate change summit.
And as he called it, Crap 30 in Brazil.
Remember, they've only built one house in the Pacific Palisades 11 months later.
Thousands lost their homes, people lost their lives, and they can't even permit these people.
And yet, the people have to still pay property taxes and ensure homes they don't have.
Anyway, Mark, how was the summit?
Did you say hi to Gavin when you were there?
Gavin was there.
Senator Whitehouse of Rhode Island was there.
And actually, Senator Whitehouse complained that the State Department wouldn't pay for his trip down to the Amazon jungle like they normally do.
So that was what I called it Trump's master-class move, not sending.
For the first time in 30 years, Sean, no one got no official U.S. delegation sent to a UN climate summit.
And that created a huge vacuum where a lot of the oil and gas producing states derailed the UN and their final hours trying to get a vision for a fossil-free fuel, fossil fuel-free world.
They were able to derail that.
And Trump allowed that by just creating that vacuum there and empowering these other countries.
So it was a colossal collapse of even the low standards set by the United Nations.
And I got to tell you, you've been at this.
I remember going back on your show in the early 2000s, and you used to have RFK Jr. on, and he would be talking about flying his private jet.
And I remember you embarrassed him one time.
Just look at the evolution of someone like RFK Jr. on this issue.
It's been amazing.
And he was calling for jailing climate skeptics, energy CEOs in 2014 when I interviewed him at the climate march.
Fast forward, COVID lockdowns and the vaccine, all the stuff happens with COVID.
And RFK basically reassesses his entire political view on climate.
When he runs for president, he says, I'm not going to talk about it.
He said, I'm not going to talk about climate change anymore because climate change has been hijacked by the United Nations and the World Economic Forum for totalitarian control of society.
Boom.
When you can have someone like RFK Jr. walk away from climate alarmism and essentially label it correctly, this has been a phenomenal transformation.
And you were at the thick of this.
I remember coming on Hannah ⁇ Combs years ago and talking climate and going through all this.
And it's amazing how the entire world, we're talking about European polls, U.S. polls, CNN touting now that Americans are no more concerned about climate change than they were in the 1980s right now.
But you know what's fascinating, Mark?
I mean, they started out with the next ice age is coming.
Then the earth was going to disintegrate.
We're going to be burned to death.
And neither of those predictions happen.
What year was it that Al Gore predicted the end of the earth as we know it?
And so many others have followed suit.
And then when none of their predictions came true, because, yeah, we've been at this a long time.
Then they come up with a generic term.
It's called climate change.
So if it's hot, they can blame the earth and the climate and man for Minute temperature changes that might take place, which is part of the natural ebb and flow of life here on earth.
And then they can push their socialist agenda, which is really at the heart of what climate change is all about.
But they're never going to acknowledge that they're wrong.
That's why I think it was particularly surprising that, in fact, Bill Gates did.
I got to play you one thing that I think you'll get a kick out of.
This is Gavin Newsom, you know, from the United Socialist Utopia of California, blaming climate change for the Pacific Palisades fire.
Lest I remind everybody here that they didn't have fire hydrants that had water in them.
They had empty reservoirs.
They had a previous fire, and the firemen that were on the job wanted to fully extinguish it, and they were pulled off that job, which was insane.
As Santa Ana winds are as predictable as the day is born and have been for decades and decades and decades on end, as are wildfires, because they don't practice the science of forestry.
And yet he blames climate change for the Pacific Palisades, not himself.
Home values will start to decline.
You're seeing it across the spectrum right now, in my state included, which is one of the most blessed and cursed states as it relates to climate.
We're on the tip of the sphere of climate change: simultaneous droughts and simultaneous floods.
The hots are getting a lot hotter, the dries drier.
You saw one of the most devastating wildfires in American history in the middle of winter in Los Angeles in January.
100-mile-an hour winds attached to fire.
And as we rebuild, the number one concern people have: how do I get my home insured?
And how do you get a developer to develop a home that can't get a mortgage, which requires home insurance?
So, from across the spectrum, from financial risk to the issue of cost of living, which is universal, to global competitiveness, this is a no-brainer.
He's absolutely full of Adam's shift because I'm going to tell you something.
They don't practice the science of forestry and cleaning out brush and debris as they should because of, quote, environmental concerns.
A, I never heard of having a fire hydrant that's empty.
I never heard of reservoirs that are empty as well.
Santa Ana winds, wildfires in California have gone on for decades and decades and decades on end.
He's just full of crap and hot air.
Yes.
If you go, actually, the United Nations in their climate reports actually admit that extreme weather that Gavin Newsom's referring to, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, droughts, are either no trend or declining trends on climate time scales, of 30, 50, 100 years.
There's no there there.
And he's right about it being man-made, but it's a man-made environmental disaster of California, nothing to do with climate change.
When you just went through some of that, you know, the idea they had horrible public response, they had fire hoses that went empty, they had blown up dams.
They had now, we know from the text exchanges from the firefighters, that the firefighters themselves did not believe the fire was out, but they were called off the fire suppression anyway, allowing the fire to continue days later.
It was a disaster.
And it's no surprise that if there is a trouble, if there is trouble for them to get insurance, what insurance company would want to insure in an area where the government policies at the state and local level in California all literally call for water restrictions, dam blowing up, poor response, and allowing fires to continue burning and no land use policy that controls the growth.
It all makes sense.
If it is true, then that's why insurance companies wouldn't want to insure it because this is a la-la-land of environmental disaster.
And it's literally the equivalent of saying the dog ate my homework by him saying climate change caused this.
No, the man who caused it is Gavin Newsom.
And my fear is he's going to take that on a national campaign and try to become president.
And who knows what could happen on that trend down the road?
All right, quick break more with Mark Murano, the Green News scam on the other side.
We'll get an update on that big Supreme Court ruling in favor of Texas redistricting.
The AG Ken Paxton will join us and much more as we continue this Friday.
And your calls, 800-941-Sean, straight ahead.
All right, we continue now with really the expert of all things climate alarmism and the radical Green New Deal.
Mark Murano is with us.
Explain in the two minutes we have left what that means.
Well, you alluded to this climate agenda being opposing socialism.
It is about that.
But to me and the Green New Deal, it's about so much more than that.
This is about totalitarianism.
This is about a level of dictatorship because the Green New Deal went to every aspect of your life.
The old days, when I say the old days, you go back to the 1990s or so, even Al Gore's first movie in 2006, he talked about limiting emissions and carbon taxes and things, things that were within the realm.
But now this has morphed this entire agenda led by the United Nations into something much more sinister.
They want to come after your freedom of movement.
They want to come after carbon passports for travel monitored by the government.
They're coming after your ceiling fans, your pizza ovens, your appliances.
They want to come after every aspect of your life.
We have carbon footprints proposed to monitor all your travel.
And if you go over it, they'll take tax you if they go under it.
You go, you owe them money.
You get money back.
It's a level that we have it that George Orwell didn't contemplate, a level of sort of surveillance of everything they want to do.
Al Gore and Google are now partnering to monitor every farm, every factory, to monitor how much CO2 they're emitting.
And you have everything from the smart meters now that they can shut down your air conditioning in the middle of a heat wave or your heat in the middle of winter.
If they determine that, you know, your emissions are getting too high.
We've already seen this happening in Colorado where they're running out of energy.
They want to make energy scarcity and their agenda is diametrically opposed to everything America stands for.
The idea of cheap energy and low inflation, because their entire policy, the Green New Deal, was the exact opposite.
And they were going after our meat eating.
They were going after banning gas-powered cars.
Oh, they're going to be back at it.
I mean, God forbid these people ever get back in power.
We're going to be losing our plastic straws.
We're going to have dramatic increases in energy, dramatic increases in meat.
And we're going to be told what to eat, what to do, what time of day we can go to the bathroom.
I mean, if they have control of our lives, it's unbelievable.
Mark, probably the most informative person on the planet as it relates to the radicalism of the Green New Deal scam.
We appreciate you being with us, sir.
Thank you, Scott.
Appreciate it.
All right, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, big win in the Supreme Court yesterday for the great state of Texas, we'll get an update from Ken Paxton on the other side.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they honor America's heroes and their families when tragedy strikes.
And that means heroes like Scott Abrams.
Now, for more than three decades, Scott was able to serve his community and his country as a U.S. Marine Semprofi, a New York City PD and a detective, a volunteer firefighter.
While he was on his NYPD motorcycle, escorting a funeral procession, his life sadly changed in an instant.
He was hit by a bus that crushed four vertebrae in his neck, shattering his leg, leaving him partially paralyzed.
And Scott's recovery has been grueling.
But through unwavering love, strength, and perseverance, he and his wife and their son, you know, they have been able to make it through unimaginable challenges.
And thanks to your generosity, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been able to honor Scott and his family with a mortgage-free smart home.
And thanks to people like you, Scott now has a home he can move freely in as he heals and raises his family with dignity.
There are so many more people to help.
Please join us, especially this holiday season, and commit $11 a month so this great work can continue.
It takes all of us.
If everyone commits to $11 a month, let me tell you something.
We'll be able to help every single hero in need.
Go to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org.
The letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Exposing government waste and abuse of your liberties every day.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
I-25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Look, you have to pay very close attention to what you eat.
Now, for example, I'm all meat, I'm all eggs, and it's great for my stomach.
I don't ever feel bloated.
I don't gain weight.
I stay at my healthy weight, what I determine to be my healthy weight.
Everyone should do the same.
I try to exercise, work out.
I pay attention to health, wellness, nutrition.
And, you know what, to the best of my ability, my perfect hell no.
But there's certain things I don't want to eat.
You know, for example, you eat pasta.
It's all sugar.
You eat a muffin.
It's all sugar.
You eat a donut.
Anyone in there still eat donuts?
I think Jason is probably the only one that eats donuts.
I had to scale back on it because of my diabetes.
Thank you.
I know, but if you would lose weight a little bit, and you're not that heavy, to be very honest with you.
I've lost like 20 pounds.
I'm almost under 160.
Well, I haven't seen you in nine months.
So what do I know?
How do I know that?
I'll see you.
I'll see you next week.
But anyway, you have to eat the right foods.
But, you know, not everybody's DNA, you know, look, your DNA is always the same in yourself.
From womb to tomb, it's like a footprint, right?
Your RNA is a different story.
And that information will tell you that will help you in your health pursuits.
And that's where Viome comes in.
Viome is the name of a company and a lot of your body.
And they're going to tell you what works and what doesn't work for your specific body.
And every four to six weeks, six weeks, things can actually change.
And Viome's a great company.
They're a new sponsor.
And let me tell you, it will take all the guesswork out of eating what works for you, your RNA, your body chemistry.
And it's a simple test.
You take it at home.
It's called a full body intelligence test.
You get full body insights.
They will personalize food recommendations.
You know, some people like Jason can have a muffin.
I can't.
And custom made for you supplements, formulas based on your individual results.
In other words, it'll give you information and answers so you can eat right for your body based on your specific, you know, RNA, DNA, et cetera, and live longer and stronger.
It's called Viome, V-I-O-M-E.
And anyway, if you go to V-I-O-M-E-Viome.com slash Hannity, just take your test.
Everyone on our team here is taking their test.
By the way, Stanger's now become really fit.
I finally convinced him, you know, to start working out, get his steps in, do his workout every day, and he's doing much better, right?
He did, man.
I'm like a prize fighter now.
Okay, don't take it too far.
Just go kick your ass.
We only have one of those on this show.
I'm a lover, not a fighter.
Yeah, that's true, too.
Yeah, you have a good heart.
Listen, we had a big win in the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday, and they pointed out that Texas will likely prevail on any defending of their congressional map.
This could impact as many as five congressional districts.
This is a big deal.
It keeps Governor Greg Abbott's redrawn districts in place.
And the court said that the district court committed two major errors.
First, by failing to apply the presumption of legislative good faith when considering disputed evidence.
Second, by declining to draw a near, you know, interference against challengers who offered no alternative map that met Texas's goals.
Anyway, here to weigh in on it, what it means, how important this is heading into 2026 is the Attorney General of the great state of Texas.
He's now running for senator.
Our friend Ken Paxton is back.
Sir, how are you?
I'm doing well.
We got an early Christmas present for Texas and the nation with this win.
And as I think President Trump would say, this is huge.
Huge.
No, it really is huge.
Tell us about the case.
Tell us about the arguments.
Tell us what this means for Texas.
And do you think this goes any further?
Yeah, I mean, I think it's really a step in the right direction for the whole nation because the Democrats have been gerrymandering lines.
And I mean, you've got, I think, nine states that have no Republican representation in Congress.
And, of course, here we are.
They're now complaining that we've decided to do the same thing, which we're completely, according to all precedent, we're allowed to do based on political considerations.
They, of course, came in, which they always do and argued that somehow we base this on race, which we did not.
There's no legislator that said we base it on race.
And certainly that was not the goal.
The goal was political and creating more politically aligned seats for Republicans in Texas so that we can compete against these other Democratic states.
And so unfortunately, the district, the first part of the case was in front of a three-judge panel.
We lost two to one.
And you noted some of the problems that the Supreme Court, when we appealed it a couple of days ago, they saw through the problems and unfortunately turned this case around.
So now we have our maps in place for this election.
All right.
So this means, look, I've made the case and I've gone over this that Democrats around the country have mastered the art of gerrymandering.
Am I wrong in that observation?
No, and we're not even going to be close to what, you know, Massachusetts has no Republican representation.
I think, as I noted, I think there are nine states that have no Republican representation in Congress.
There are others like Illinois that have, you know, even though I think Trump got 44% of the vote, something like that in Illinois, there's only three Republicans out of 17.
So, I mean, to say that we're doing anything different than they, we're actually still behind the curb on what they've been doing for years.
What do you think in terms of how this may impact Gavin Newsom's scheme out in California?
Well, look, they're supposedly changing their law so that they can go in and do a midterm redistricting that gives more Democrats.
How that's going to turn out, I'm sure it's going to turn out the way they want it to.
They're going to gerrymander it.
and knock out more Republicans.
What that means is some other Republican states like Indiana, Missouri, and others should go forward with redistricting so that we can play the same game they're playing and make this at least make it fair so that we're on the same playing field that they are.
Do you see that these states understand the urgency in terms of getting prepared for 26?
I am always concerned that Republicans tend to lay back and are afraid of being criticized because obviously the media is going to criticize it.
They don't criticize the Democrats doing the very same thing.
You know, you get accused of all kinds of nasty things, including, you know, you're racist because you're doing this.
So a lot of times I think Republicans fear the criticism and they don't step out and do what they need to do to protect the country from unfair lines, which ultimately means bad policy and bad things for the country.
Well, I appreciate this.
I think this is a huge win.
How's that campaign going out there into the great state of Texas as of now?
Really well.
I got in the race April 8th.
I've been heading the polls ever since I got in, despite the fact that the fundraising advantage always goes to the incumbent because of the way the rules were rigged under McCain Feingle to give them advantages.
But we, on March 3rd, I can guarantee you we're going to win this race.
And I'm looking forward to serving the great state of Texas in the U.S. Senate because it's time for a change with a guy that's been there for, you know, he's been in office for over 40 years.
I was in college when he first got elected.
I'm about to turn 63.
So we're just ready for a change in Texas.
Somebody that's going to stand up and defend us instead of capitulate to the Democrats on, you know, Second Amendment border and fighting Trump on a lot of his policies.
Well, we appreciate the time you give us.
And congratulations.
What was a huge win, I think, for fairness, fundamental fairness, and, you know, basically having a level playing field or beginning the process to get to a level playing field for Republicans around the country.
Thank you, sir.
Absolutely.
And hopefully we've led the way and made it easier for other states to follow because now that the plan has been set, we work through the hard part and everybody knows how to do it now.
So I hope that this will inspire other Republican states to do the very same thing that Texas did.
Appreciate you being with us, Attorney General Ken Paxton, the great state of Texas.
God bless Texas.
Thank you, sir.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, be a part of the program.
Let's say hi to Rose in Minnesota.
Rose, how are you?
Your governor, and of course, the great Congresswoman Omar under heavy fire right now.
Looks like a lot of fraud took place.
Looks like they were warned about a lot of fraud taking place.
And it looks like they didn't lift a finger to stop it.
Yeah, don't know what to say about that, Sean.
Anyway, I'm from the rural red part of the state, and I purposely moved out of the cities because I couldn't take it anymore.
The populated areas and cities make our state blue.
It's not the rest of the state.
Anyway, my husband and I are Christmas tree farmers, so we would never leave because, you know, it's hard to grow trees.
I've been trying to talk to several lefty friends about why.
Ask you a question about christmas tree farming because i'm interested um, because where I live all you know, obviously you know these, these empty lots become.
You know areas where they sell a lot of christmas trees, etc.
I should i'm.
You're gonna hate me, but I usually don't get a tree.
I don't have time to, you know, get it, I don't have time to decorate it.
I know they're gonna say pah, humbug here um, and but I, you know I love christmas trees.
I will go to people's homes that have christmas trees so I kind of feel like I benefit from their hard work.
Um, so you grow these trees, you sell them only once a year and you're able to survive.
That is your entire business.
Well no, actually my husband's an orchard farmer too, but we're small.
We're literally a mom pa shop.
We're really small and you know the farm makes enough money to pay land taxes, pay all the expenses and things like that.
But you need santa or sell pies or helicopter rides to really make it big, and we don't do that.
We're just literally a small.
Cut your own.
How long does it take to grow a christmas tree?
Well, about 12 to 15 years.
We have some really tall ones that are probably 25 years old, like the huge ones at the White House.
Those would be, you know 25, 30 years old.
That's why you just can't leave something like that.
It's not planting corn.
Now, when you finally cut that tree down, how much would you sell it for?
We're cheaper than other places.
My husband individually prices the trees like you're going to the store.
He starts at ten dollars, but ten dollars means the bottom's bad, the side bad, it's hurting another tree, but then a tall one that would be 20, 25 feet.
He's selling for about 150 bucks and that's cheap.
Other farms are much more expensive than we are I.
I don't know how you possibly survive on that that's.
That's amazing to me.
Um, all right, tell me uh, quickly why you called.
We are running out of time, unfortunately.
I my apologies, but anyway, i've been trying to talk to my lefty friends to ask why they dislike Trump so much.
Because so many of the city people just dislike him.
And at first they tell me about his personality quirks or say he's a king, or you know he's going to get rid of the strawberry pickers, or the people clean toilets.
He's killing people in boats and you know people don't.
Some people don't believe that there's a fraud issue in Minnesota.
So anyway, it's clear from their words what media outlets they listen to.
Isn't there a way that the?
I just don't understand how the media can get away with this so badly.
How can they use small, selective pieces of information to fit their narratives and further divide the country?
Can't there be like a self-imposed radio or some kind of rating or something that medias, would you know, volunteer to follow, or something to to get people the, the media?
Let me just stop you.
They are corrupt to the core.
I mean, we've talked a lot about the Russia hoax.
We've talked about FISA abuse.
We talked about the laptop from hell.
We talked about weaponization of the DOJ and and all the Attempts to destroy Donald Trump.
Let me just tell you about the media.
For the last week, week and a half, however long it's been, they've been all over Pete Hegseth making an accusation that we all now know is false.
That's their latest hoax.
The only difference in this case is we were able to discover it was false quicker.
And they're never going to change.
They're always going to be corrupt.
You know, that's why I'm grateful to be on Talk Radio.
That's why I'm grateful to be on the Fox News channel.
That's why I'm grateful that you watch my show, listen to this program, because we are the alternative.
We give news and information, hopefully in an entertaining way that you're not going to get elsewhere.
And, but I have no hope that they will ever see the light and change.
I don't.
So people have to be selective where they get their information from.
And I'd be very wary of people on the internet because I think the internet has become toxic and cancerous.
And all these people that say wild stuff just because they want clicks and notoriety, I don't have a lot of faith or confidence in them as well.
You have to find the people you believe are credible that will give you the truth.
And I think, you know, we've proven over and over again over the years that we usually end up being proven right.
I can't think of an example where I was wrong on the top of my head, but I'm sure occasionally I am.
