Well, we're broadcasting in the Adam Schiff Hole of humanity today, and that, of course, would be New York City.
But we are here for a very good reason and a worthwhile reason.
Erica Kirk will be stopping by our studio.
Charlie finished a book.
Charlie Kirk finished a book before he passed away about a month before he passed away called Stop in the Name of God.
Why honoring the Sabbath will transform your life.
Now, you think about it, it is one of the most difficult things to do to commit to once a week.
Could you imagine turning off your phone, your computer, your technology, your devices, and everything that we've become so addicted to and actually living in the moment with your family and resting one day a week as, you know, God spent six days creating the heavens and the earth and rested on the seventh day.
And if you know anything about the Sabbath or if you've watched The Chosen as many times as I have, Shabbat Shalom, you know what that means.
But, you know, basically rejecting everything, modern life, the busyness of life and getting quiet and introspective and prayerful and present with your family and reconnecting with your family and your friends and not finding an excuse not to do it.
I mean, he has a whole chapter in this book where he explains, you know, he basically is like a salesman.
You overcome every objection somebody would have in terms of, well, not doing this.
And I'll talk to Erica about that.
He said something really, really incredible in this.
He said, the Sabbath cuts through the fog.
It calls us all back.
It rehumanizes us.
It's not just an idea.
It's not just a rest day for the religious or nostalgic.
It's God's answer to a culture spinning out of control.
And I will tell you that the culture is spinning out of control and you see it before your very eyes.
We see the madness.
We report on it every day.
And, you know, I'm even watching, you know, people that are supposed to be part of our movement spiraling out of control constantly and getting more radical, more extreme than ever before.
You know, years ago on this program, Linda, you might recall I had predicted this.
Soon, everybody will have their own talk show.
Doesn't mean what they have to say is worthwhile.
And, you know, the one bit of advice if I would say to people, and apply the standard to me too, but you've got to let your God-given common sense, you know, help you determine what is worthy of bringing into your mind and your heart and into your way of thinking and viewing the world.
And it's not just about politics, you know, mind, body, spirit, where we're all these things, right?
We're now more involved and health and wellness and fitness and nutrition, not Linda type nutrition, because that's garbage, and longevity.
And, you know, I love what Gary Brucker says.
If you live five more years, the odds of you living past 100 go up exponentially.
I'm not sure the world wants me for 100 years, to be perfectly blunt.
But putting all that aside, I'm not going to get in the gutter with some people and what they're saying.
The left is insane enough, but when I hear and listen to some people that claim to be MAGA and Trump supporters, and the things that they utter are so insane, you know, I would just urge you, you know, there's certain things.
If you hear somebody that's racist, that's probably a good indication that they're not worth your time.
If somebody's a white nationalist, they're probably not worth your time.
If they praise Adolf Hitler, they're probably not somebody that's worth your time.
If they're virulent anti-Semitic, you know, hatred, if they have virulent anti-Semitic hatred, they're probably not worth listening to.
And so on and so forth.
Or, you know, if they have bizarre conspiracy theories that you know darn well in your heart are just, you know, off the charts, insane, or, you know, just pure character assassins, you know, or you know what one litmus test could be, Linda?
You can go, you can ask Grock.
I like Grock.
That's my AI of choice.
I think it's the first time I heard you say that.
Okay, I've said it many times.
And you know I have.
But maybe, you know, especially when it comes from the people that claim to be most MAGA, you know, just ask Grock if they're famous people or relatively famous or infamous, whatever they think they are.
What have they said that's negative about Donald Trump?
You know, you're going to get flooded in with, oh, maybe they're not who they say that they are.
Maybe they're just Johnny come lately's and maybe they're fickle and maybe they're not really the people that share your values because I don't care if it's foreign policy or economic policy, which the president's talking about.
We'll play part of it later in the program.
Those are the principles I deeply believe in.
I've always been a movement conservative.
There have been instances where, you know, this radicalism emerges within our ranks.
Remember the John Birchers, go back to the John Birch Society.
You can take it back that far.
William F. Buckley, the likes of William F. Buckley, the likes of Rush Lumbaugh at the time, you know, rejected that way of thinking, that conspiratorial mindset, and they moved on.
You know, there was a part of Pap Buchanan's message that resonated with some conservatives for a brief period of time.
There was a time that a guy by the name of David Duke tried to claim he was a Republican.
I want no part of those people in this movement, period, end of sentence.
It's not that hard to have a little bit of discernment in your life.
And I think with the limited time we all have to watch and to listen, because we all have busy lives, I would just say it's not that hard to figure out.
Now, if you're watching or listening just for pure entertainment purposes, people that are out of their mind, that's a different story.
But do you really want to bring poison into your heart and mind?
Because it's not my choice in my life.
And I recommend that highly for others.
Anyway, so Erica will join us in studio.
We're looking forward to that.
There is a lot of news we're going to get to today, not the least of which is the insanity of the crazy left in this country.
And we do have this.
I'm glad that the president is, he's going to give $12 billion to farmers, farmers, in large part because of the, I wouldn't mention two industries in particular, the farmers and, for example, people in the textile industry.
There have been people that have been unfairly hurt because the president has had to fight a battle that he inherited, which is America being ripped off.
And to do that, there's a transitional period where maybe tariffs are putting extra burdens on farmers or other industries.
And that's what today's little summit at the White House is really all about.
But remember what I'm predicting here.
And I would say, let's see where we are.
Let's see where GDP growth is at the end of the second quarter of next year.
And everything that the president has put in place is everything I have watched and witnessed that works every single time it's tried.
Every time you cut taxes, John F. Kennedy did it.
Ronald Reagan did it.
Donald Trump did it in his first term.
You see massive economic growth.
In the case, I'll use Reagan as one dramatic case.
He dropped the top marginal rates from 70 to 28 percent.
That resulted in the longest period of peacetime economic growth in history.
21 million new jobs were created.
Okay, that was a huge success.
It didn't make it into the bloodstream of the economy for a full 18 months, which is why he did not do well in the midterms.
Now, I believe that the president's actions have taken rocket fuel to Reagan's model.
Not only did he pass the largest tax cuts in history, but he also left enough runway for it to start getting into the bloodstream of the economy.
You know, then the rocket fuel comes from the trillions and trillions of dollars in committed investments in manufacturing, bringing back automobile manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, for example, semiconductor chip manufacturing, seeking rare earth minerals.
Then you add more accelerant to the process by energy-dominant policies that the president's adopted.
Well, it's already resulting in the lowest gas prices now that we've had in nearly five years.
Nationwide average for regular gas is now in 37 states, it's below 275 a gallon.
That's a major tax cut for Americans.
When many Americans that pay taxes realize, and if you're in the service industry, no tax on tips, or if you work a 40-hour week job, no tax on overtime, you know, in some cases, that's going to be a $10,000, $12,000 raise in your pocket that you will be able to hang on to.
And people will start feeling that April 15th.
Not everybody's feeling it today.
It has to get into the bloodstream of the economy.
He has to undo the damage that he inherited.
It took a while to get the One Big Beautiful Bill passed.
It took a while to undo the horrible green new energy scam deals of Biden and Harris.
Negotiating all of these trade deals so that countries wouldn't rip us off.
Yeah, short-term pain, long-term gain.
That's why we work out, right?
For that very reason.
Short-term, yeah, my muscles hurt.
Short-term, my legs hurt.
Short-term, okay.
Then all of a sudden, well, you start losing weight.
You start getting more fit.
Oh, I'm building muscle.
I look pretty good in that shirt.
Never looked good in that shirt before.
Whatever it happens to be.
So the lowest price now, at least four states now, gas is below $2 a gallon.
Prices, get this as low as $1.69 a gallon in Colorado.
You know, GasBuddy, you know, says that the national average now is below $3 a gallon.
And it's actually below $3 a gallon in 37 states, below $2.75 a gallon in 22 states, below $2.50 a gallon in five states, and four states below $2 a gallon.
Okay, when you were paying $4 and $4.50 a gallon for gasoline, that's a tax increase.
Now, on the issue of immigration, you know, people, you know, Democrats think, I got to tell a funny story.
So because I came in over the weekend, ended up going to church yesterday.
After church, I go to this, you know, little restaurant, get my little steak and eggs for breakfast because I eat the same thing every day.
And guess who is in the restaurant?
Lindy, Linda.
Do you want me to audibly guess?
Audibly.
Sean, who was in the restaurant?
Sean, who was in the Sean, thank you.
Had this lady come, Sean, thank you for all you do for Israel recently.
Smart woman.
Smart woman.
Chuck Schumer.
I walk up to his table.
I'm like, Senator Schumer, who's your favorite cable host in the entire country?
You didn't call him Chucky.
No, I didn't.
I was nice.
I was polite.
You know, this is the difference between conservatives and liberals.
Liberals, you know, see me in New York and they like, you can see it's discernible rage and hatred and they're triggered.
And I couldn't have been nicer to them.
I even offered to buy his security and him, you know, breakfast, but they graciously declined.
I don't know if you can, actually.
They may not, by law, be allowed to.
I have no idea.
They do it all the time.
The taxpayers, I'm sure they wouldn't mind.
But I do that all the time.
You've seen me do this.
I have.
And you see the reaction.
I've asked you.
I begged you not to.
You begged me not to.
That's correct.
And I'm like, you kill them with kindness, and you're not the monster.
I mean, what do they do?
They run around, you know, 24-7 claiming we're Hitler and Stalin and Mussolini and we're racist and Nazis and fascists and all this crap.
I'm so sick of it.
By the way, and they're still doing it.
All weekend long, that's all they've been doing.
Like, I can't take it anymore.
And by the way, it's not effective.
They have to hope the economy tanks.
They have to hope them voting for the largest tax increase in history works and hurts the economy.
They have to hope that people are mad that Donald Trump gave them no tax on tips overtime in Social Security.
They have to, for them to win the economic argument, they have to hope everything flops.
Problem is, it's kind of like A squared, B squared, C squared.
Supply side economics works.
You know, the worst part of being in New York during the Christmas season is it's busy.
There's too many people.
There's too many crooks.
Mamdani's in charge.
And we'll get into this on the other side.
I mean, I don't know if you saw Mamdani's message and how he's trying to, you know, give people advice how to deal with ICE.
No wonder Tom Holman says the attacks and threats against ICE agents are now up a whopping 2,000%.
I'll explain all of this.
Also, Erica Kirk on Charlie's last book.
He finished it a month before he was assassinated.
She'll join us in studio.
Also tonight on Hannity at 9 Sai DVR, Dr. Oz will explain the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota, ignored by Tim Waltz and others.
Quick break.
Welcome back.
We'll continue.
Merry Christmas.
This is not a public school.
can say it working every member gotten man This is the Sean Annity Show.
I-25.
Now, till the top of the hour, 800-941, Sean, if you want to join us at the top of the hour, Erica Kirk will join us.
One month before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, he wrote his last book.
And it's called Stop in the Name of God, Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life.
And maybe to some of you, I've read the whole book cover to cover.
Maybe to some of you, it's a radical idea.
Oh, I'm going to unplug my phone.
Linda, how many hours of the 24-hour day over the course of the time we've worked together do you get me sending out texts?
I'm answering a text from you right now.
It's actually really annoying.
You're right in front of me.
What do you want to ask?
But the point is, it's kind of hard.
Now, the interesting part of it is Charlie overcomes every objection you might have.
What if the president calls is one of them, which is a little applicable to me because I do talk to the president.
You know, we have a professional relationship and then we've known each other for 30 years.
And so I love talking to the president.
He's very, I entertain him.
Listen, anytime you're not available to talk to Mr. Trump, I can handle that for you.
He and I get along splendidly.
I'm the one that introduced him to you.
Yes, I am.
I'm the one that got the family photo for you.
You have to have that Sabbath.
I would take that off your plate, Mr. President.
I am here to help.
But, you know, just the idea of focusing on the now and living in the present and being with your family, I mean, and not thinking about work or not allowing your mind to worry.
It's really an incredible book, and it can be transformational if you adopt the practices of it.
Erica will talk about it with us in the next hour of the program.
Listen, I want to remind you, unfortunately, there's a lot of evil in this world, as we all know.
It's all too common.
Everybody needs a home security system.
And for over a decade now, Simply Safe Home Security has been on this program.
And what I love about them is like, you know, every six months, they got some new technology that they've added to their coverage.
And they're the most proactive.
It's the best security system on the market and the best bang for your buck on top of it.
And for example, you know, you might have a reactive home security system.
What would that be?
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, this is your alarm company calling.
Somebody just broke into your house.
I'm in my house.
What do I do?
You know, I'm falling and I can't get up.
I mean, at that point, it's too late.
It's too late.
I mean, come on.
That is not modern technology.
Well, with Simply Safe, they have Active Guard outdoor protection, which is amazing.
They have their AI security cameras, which are amazing.
The second somebody, they have their live monitoring agents, the second somebody steps onto your property, those agents will instantaneously be alerted for about a buck a day.
You have a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week security guard at your house.
They get alerted.
They can talk to these people in real time.
By the way, it would be like this.
Linda McLaughlin, I can see you under that mask with that baseball cap on.
You are trespassing on Sean Henry's property.
And they'll put the spotlights on in real time.
They'll talk to you in real time.
They'll warn me that you're near me in real time.
And they'll call the police in real time to arrest your ass and throw you in the pokey.
Oh, man.
Anyway.
It's a rough read.
But that's what Simply Safe does.
They really, that's proactive security.
You need it for yourself and your family.
Here's the best part: monitoring for about a buck a day.
It's like having your own security agent around the perimeter of your home.
Also, 50% off any new system, one of the best prices of the year.
Go to simplysafe.com/slash Hannity.
One word, simply safe.com/slash Hannity, and protect your family.
And there's no safe, like simply safe.
I am apoplectic.
I'm livid over this issue of immigration.
The Trump DHS, we just learned over the weekend, located 62,000, and I know this matters to you, illegal children who were used to cross the border or crossed alone during the Biden years when they said the border was closed and the border was secure and it wasn't.
And they were even opening up holes with bulldozers to help illegals into the country.
And by the way, this is on the Biden administration lost track of nearly 400,000 kids.
Tom Holman said 320,000 over the weekend.
So the president already has saved over 62,000 children's lives.
Some of these children were being sex trafficked.
They found them.
Some were in forced labor.
They found them.
Some were being mistreated.
They found them too.
And he said, I can't even discuss some of the mistreatment that we found out about.
President Trump proves why he's the greatest president in my lifetime.
And then the insane liberal left gets mad when he talks about people involved in ripping off the country, like in Minnesota.
And Dr. Oz will talk about it later in the program today.
He said the Democrats are complicit for four years.
This has happened.
Sex trafficking, historic highs.
Children crossing the border, historic highs.
Migrant deaths crossing the border, historic highs.
Quarter of a million Americans dead from fentanyl under Biden because of his open borders.
Everyone wants to talk about, wow, they did a double-tap hit on that boat after ABC even reported that the guys were trying to retrieve the drugs and get back in the boat.
291,000 illegals crossed that border, were never given future court dates, according to the Inspector General report out last year.
I mean, this is unbelievable.
Now, because in honor of being in New York City for a day, I am leaving tonight, immediately when my show is over.
I am getting out of town.
I'm going back to the free state of Florida.
Anyway, your mayor-elect in this Adam Schiffole of a city, which I never even like to visit anymore, is offering.
Oh, by the way, I saw Mark Simone today.
Mark Simone came in the studio.
And I love Mark.
And Mark, see, I told you you'd be back.
I'm like, I'm back for Erica Kirk.
I'm not back for you.
I'm not back.
I don't own a home in New York.
I have no place to stay.
So I'm like, I'm a homeless person.
He didn't offer?
No, but Mamdani said last week he announced that he's going to allow the homeless encampments to be rebuilt all over the city.
I'm like, oh, that's great news.
You know, people defecating, urinating, shooting up.
Let's just try out what we know is a failure.
Anyway, so moron Zoron, you know, Kami Mamdani, Marx's Mamdani, offering advice to illegal immigrants on how to evade ICE.
He gave the video message on Sunday calling on the illegal immigrants to stand up to the federal agents and to know your rights.
Now, understand and put it in context.
And this context actually matters because Tom Holman announced also that there is a 1,200% ICE officers' threats are up 1,200%.
Now, you can't tell me that the insightful and dehumanizing rhetoric of the left is not contributing to all of this.
And then Zoron, the moron, Kami, Mamdani, Marxist Mamdani, offering advice to illegal immigrants on how to evade ICE in this video message.
And this is what he said.
Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our neighborhoods.
As mayor, I'll protect the rights of every single New Yorker.
And that includes the more than 3 million immigrants who call this city their home.
But we can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.
If you encounter ICE, these are the things that every New Yorker should know.
First, ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, or a private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant signed by a judge.
If ICE does not have a judicial warrant signed by a judge, you have the right to say, I do not consent to entry, and the right to keep your door closed.
Sometimes ICE will show you paperwork that looks like this and tell you that they have the right to arrest you.
That is false.
ICE is legally allowed to lie to you, but you have the right to remain silent.
If you're being detained, you may always ask, am I free to go?
Repeatedly, until they answer you.
You are legally allowed to film ICE as long as you do not interfere with an arrest.
It is important to remain calm during any interaction with ICE for law enforcement.
Do not impede their investigation, resist arrest, or run.
One last thing.
New Yorkers have a constitutional right to protest.
And when I'm mayor, we will protect that right.
New York will always welcome immigrants.
And I will fight each and every day to protect, support, and celebrate our neighborhood professionals' use.
Now, the problem is how many, and this is where the left now finds themselves.
And my little conversation with Chucky Schumer, what was the cause of Biden, you know, losing?
I'm like, well, he didn't run in the end because he didn't know what day of the week it was.
Now, we're not where we need to be because Biden screwed everything up so bad.
And it's going to take time, as I keep pointing out, for the tax cuts and for the trillions in committed manufacturing investment and for energy benefits that all of us are experiencing now to get fully into the bloodstream of our economy.
It's going to take time.
But the Democrats have to cheer for higher taxes because that's what they voted for.
The largest tax increase in history.
This is your modern left-wing, radicalized Democratic Party.
Then they have to cheer for failure at the border.
And meanwhile, we have more stories to share with you.
An illegal alien from Honduras stabbed a guy on a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina.
When do they get held accountable because they told us the border was closed and the border was secure?
Or another illegal immigrant with a history of drunk driving behind bars finally for allegedly causing a fiery head-on crash while inebriated in San Diego that killed an eight-year-old girl and injured seven others.
Last week, we told you about the illegal from Gavin Newsom's United Socialist Utopia, California.
Just like in the case of Florida, my free state where three people were killed, they had a truck driver kill this, what, this newlywed couple in Oregon.
Again, commercial driver's licenses they're granting to illegals, just like they're giving all these benefits.
Medi-Cal, why is California the highest tax, you know, one of the highest tax states in the country?
Why is it doing so poorly economically?
Well, it's not that complicated.
You know, Medi-Cal, for example, half the state's 41 million residents now on it.
50% of all births are Medi-Cal provided and growing.
And California, by the way, the largest population of illegals, well, if they have the highest income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, they're still paying $4.99 a gallon out there for gasoline.
And you have some states paying under $2 a gallon, and many states paying, you know, most states paying under $3 a gallon.
I mean, that's a massive tax on people.
And then on top of that, they have, you know, the largest sales tax, largest income tax, largest gas taxes.
And then they have the largest population of illegals.
Then they have the largest number of homeless people.
Then they have the largest number of people leaving and fleeing and migrating out of there.
The largest number, 11 million, 27% foreign-born residents now in California.
And the largest number of people that live in poverty are in California.
Why?
Because they buy into the government cradle to grave, womb to the tomb madness.
It's insane.
So all these horrible things.
Now we have Mamdani giving advice.
What do you think is going to happen if people take this advice when confronted by ICE?
There's going to be a confrontation.
And every single position that this party now stands for, you know, they didn't want to take out Iran's nuclear sites.
How stupid are you when you have their missile defense system down and you have their air defense systems down and they're on the verge of getting nuclear weapons that they promised they will use to destroy Israel and the United States?
Well, that's not America first, Hennedties.
You're too pro-Israel.
Well, I mean, if one rocket was fired into an American city, how would you react?
What if it was 100,000?
What if it was hundreds of thousands?
What if a terror group like Hamas, whose own charter calls for the destruction of Israel?
You know, what if that group, you know, was pledging to destroy America?
What if they killed 40,000 Americans in a day?
What would you want your government to do?
Why are Democrats not held accountable for the big, big lie?
And the lie is that the border is closed and the border is secure, you know, or the big lie they were trying to tell, the latest hoax about Peggy Hagseth, or, you know, the latest lie about, you know, these immigrants in this country, you know, that came from Afghanistan.
Oh, no, they're fully vetted and safe, and we're very proud of our system that didn't do, you know, Adam Schiff, you know, didn't do a thing.
Now we're going to, you know, Mamdani, Mandani also tapped a radical who idolizes this cop killer, remember the cop killer, Asada Shakur, to advise his administration on public schools.
He's picking some real winners, giving some real weird winners.
Unbelievable.
ICE officers are now attacks on them and threats on them up 1,200%.
And why do you think that's happening?
But to be a Democrat, you got to support wide open borders.
You got to support the highest tax cuts in history.
You got to support, remember, what Kamala warns us: you know, high-priced gasoline, oh, that's the cost of democracy in her Green New Deal madness.
And we have more natural resources than any country on earth, and we can be an energy-dominant rich country.
You know, we talk about energy-rich countries all the time, you know, in the Middle East.
We could be richer than all of them.
ICE is trying to warn Illinois, stop releasing violent criminal illegals.
You never, we hear about how many people get shot, shot, and killed.
You know, California doesn't even keep track of illegal immigrants, you know, that commit crimes.
Why?
Because they don't want the people in California to know.
The illegal immigrant that killed three people in my home state, we found out after he killed the three people that he had a Washington commercial driver's license and a California one, and he couldn't read English and he couldn't read road signs.
