WEBVTT - Covid Corruption - January 28th, Hour 2 0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:04.080 All right, thank you, Scott Shannon. Hour two Sean Hannity Show, 0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.720 Toll free. Our number is eight hundred and nine to 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:08.840 pot one. Shawn. If you want to be a part 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:13.040 of the program, we welcome back to the show our 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:15.720 friend Cheryl Atkinson. You might recall years ago was with 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.520 CBS News and we have a lot of media news. 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:21.680 And then I want to talk to you about what 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:26.119 we learned how the FDA's own vaccine reviewer didn't take 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.120 the COVID vaccine, which is interesting while we're firing people 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.920 in the military, although Donald Trump free instated everybody with 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.239 back pay. But there is a lot of media news. 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.200 I don't I won't take your time, but I'll play 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.440 it later in the program. You know over at MSDNC, 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.720 they're losing their mind. I mean Nicole Wallace comparing Ice 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.600 raids to the Holocaust. If Joy Reid is out there 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:54.960 comparing Trump to Hitler and Nazi Germany. Now out of nowhere, 0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:00.640 Rachel Maddow has become a fiscal conservative, the conspiracy theory liar. 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.440 Extraordinary that she's been, and she's gotten away with all 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.640 of it, never held accountable, slamming the Trump administration, the 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:12.399 expensive use of military planes to deport the legal immigrants. Well, 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.000 we do have known terrorists, murderers, rapists, gang members, cartel 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.000 members in the country. Yeah, we we have to were 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.560 supposed to assume that they're the good people that just 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.560 want a better life for themselves and their families, and 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.080 they're not going to be a threat on a plane, 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.640 and so we have to put people in handcuffs to 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:35.039 protect the pilots, the aircraft, everybody on board. That would 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.200 be normal. They've worried about the cost of it. Well, 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:42.680 what's the cost of you know, of food and housing 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.440 and healthcare and education? You know, how are our kids 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.520 suffering in the classroom as a result. On top of 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:55.040 wa Kamala wanted is taxpayer funded sex change operations? I 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.920 mean this, They have learned nothing from this election. We 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.560 said in seven Journalism's dead. I said after this election, 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.400 legacy state run media mob is done. And if you 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.720 want to be a successful media person or content provider, 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.160 you better tell people the truth. As I said at 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.120 the beginning of the program today. Anyway, and then I 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:20.440 see fake Jim Acostas leaving CNN. They we're gonna move 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.760 him midnight to two am. Back in twenty eighteen. I 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.560 had a big fight with him. We'll get into that 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.600 later in the program. And then he goes out the 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.040 way that he went in. You know, it's it's it's 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.200 pretty unbelievable, and he as a matter of fact, let 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.839 me play this because it's really worth listening to him 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.520 and his sanctimonious, self righteous, out of touch, you know, 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.919 completely void from reality, delusional, you know, goodbye. 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.760 I just wanted to end today's show by thanking all 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.160 of the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.520 this network. You may have seen some reports about me 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.920 and the show, and after giving all there's some careful 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.160 consideration and weighing an alternative time slot, seeing an offer, Bee, 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.960 I've decided to move on. I am grateful to CNN 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.680 for the nearly eighteen years I've spent here doing the 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.359 news as the son of a Cuban refugee. I took 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.000 home this lesson. It is never a good time to 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.160 bow down to a tyrant. I've always believed it's the 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.440 job of the press to hold power to account. I've 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.840 always tried to do that here at CNN, and I 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.320 plan on going doing all of that in the future. 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.359 One final message, don't give into the lies. Don't give 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.800 into the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope. 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.720 Even if you have to get out your phone, record 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.160 that message. I will not give into the lies. I 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.240 will not give into the fear. Post it on your 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.640 social media so people can hear from you too. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:56.200 He fancies himself a member of the press as a journalist, 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.000 I'm a member of the press. I'm a talk show host. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.400 We do great news, investigative reporting, we give opinion, we 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.920 talk about sports, we talk about culture, and we're like 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:11.200 an entire newspaper. They claim that they're journalists, they're not journalists. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.480 Bill Maher actually called these people out over the weekend. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.880 He state took a swipe at MSDNC and their roster 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.480 of ex conservatives. You may not know this Nicole Wallace, 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.719 you know she she ran the McCain and Sarah Palin campaign. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.560 He worked for George W. Bush. And then he specifically 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.920 called out liberal Joe. I used to know Joe. I 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.120 remember Joe talking to him back in two thousand when 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.240 the Florida recount was going on. He called me, I 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.920 was in my backyard walking around in circles around, you know, 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.520 my backyard, and he's saying they're stealing it. They're stealing 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.760 the election. They're stealing it. Now he goes over to 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.200 MSDNC and he's and what Mars suggested is they changed 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:59.240 their politic politics for her paycheck. You can't be a conservative. 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.760 I'm fakee news. And then they wonder why people have 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.039 you know, are leaving them in droves after nine years 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:15.120 of non stop hating of Donald Trump, spreading lies, conspiracy theories, 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.159 turning a blind eye to the weaponization of our Justice Department, 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.359 turning a blind eye to the double standard when it 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:26.160 comes to top secret classified information, going along with a 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.560 phoney valuation of mar A Lago, going along with a 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:34.920 dirty Russian disinformation dossier, going along with a novel legal 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:42.400 theory for a legal nda paid to a lawyer, labeled 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.400 a legal expense with a novel legal theory, turning it 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.000 into a federal crime. And nobody has a problem with that. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.360 Eighteen million dollars is not what mar A Lago's worth. 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:57.119 It's worth over a billion. Ask any realtor in Palm 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.400 Beach and you'll get the same valuation anywhere between a 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.200 billion and a billion and a half. By the way, 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:08.400 MPR PBS Voice of America eyed for defunding. That would 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.360 not be a bad thing. And you have Sonny Houston. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.039 An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal because he or 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:19.640 she is undocumented. That's xenophobic. If you enter the country illegally, 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:24.479 you broke the law anyway, Sheryl Atkinson, it seems like 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.800 they've learned nothing. I mean, you've been pointing this out 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.600 for years, and I really I have no idea what 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.880 your politics are to be very honest with you after 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.560 all these years of interview with you, but you do 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.240 point out bias, and I think you would agree with 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.640 me that they are dishonest about who they are. They 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.160 claim to be journalists, they're not journalists. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.400 Well, in many instances, I believe that's absolutely true, and 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.200 they're in life. The problems there were some overt disclosure 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.640 or labeling that people understand it's analysis or an editorial show. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.640 That's one thing. But when news is it as if 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.240 it's hard news, and yet you're clearly getting either one 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.800 side or biased opinion. I think that's where obviously where 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:07.479 the problem lies. 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.360 Yeah, I mean in your years at CBS, for example, 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.680 you tried to do fair, balanced, objective reporting. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.160 What happened well to be clear. For the most part, 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.040 I was assigned to do that stuff, and the bosses 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.680 in general were terrific, whatever their politics were. And I 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.400 had a very successful career, but the last couple of 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.360 years before I started my independent show Full Measure ten 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.200 years ago, the last couple of years at CBS, I 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.800 still won quite a few Emmys and got recognition. But 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.400 I will tell you more of the stories went on 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.520 the cutting room floor, as they say, than got on 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.880 the air, because of selected officials there who've been either 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:51.080 placed or won a position of power and really overtly 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.000 did not want both sides of the story told, and 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.280 in some cases didn't want the true facts at all 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.240 told on a story. If you wouldn't been to or 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.800 acquiesce to their demands to change the story in a 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.040 way that I thought was dishonest, they just didn't want 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.120 to run it at all. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.280 I mean, that's pretty amazing. And I think Catherine Herridge 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.520 experienced some of the same difficulties when she left Fox 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.480 and went over there. She played a very big role 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.200 as part of a very small ensemble team of us 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.160 at Fox and then here on this radio show that 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.680 were able to unpeel every layer and get the story 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.960 about the Russia collusion hoax right when everybody else in 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.160 the media got it wrong. Look at the media coverage, 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:37.000 for example, ABC, CBS, NBC. They gave Donald Trump's pardons 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.960 fifteen times more coverage than Joe Biden's coverage. For example, 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:47.160 they combined spent three minutes on Biden pardoning his family members, 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:52.800 the j six Committee, General Millie Anthony Fauci, and yet 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.120 meanwhile they gave forty six minutes of Donald Trump's pardons. 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.760 Does that sound like fair, balanced reporting to you or 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.720 does that sound like the media legacy media mob has 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:03.400 a learned a thing. 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.199 Well, it's what you might expect. They are weaponized against 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.600 Donald Trump, for better or for worse. That's just the 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.920 way they're going to I think by the next four years. 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.600 I would argue there's even a bigger lapse related to 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.480 the part that you said. You know, we did cover 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.200 this on full measure, but I think it was not 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.960 well covered. I think you folks on Fox did, and 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.360 I'm sure you talked about I'm talking about the news 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.320 that some people see when they're not watching or you know, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.360 a diverse group of body of news reporters. But the 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.880 iris whistleblowers who blew the whistle on the Hunter Biden case. Listen. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.520 They said early on they saw clear evidence that looked 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.640 like there was crimo wrongdoing on the part of Joe Biden, 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.360 and that they were not allowed to follow that trail. 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.000 Hunter Biden was tipped off by the Department of Justice 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.160 when they wanted to search a storage area. The leaders 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.439 at IRS and boj they said, would not let him 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.880 pursue any leads on Joe Biden. And then the government 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.320 intentionally let this actute of limitations expire on what would 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.880 have been much bigger than just a god, she didn't 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.040 pay his taxes investigations, And I think that gets lost 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.560 people refer to the Hunter Biden tax violations. There was 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.440 much more going on there that will never be allowed 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.160 to be pursued thanks to the actions of you know God. 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.760 Well, actually I think it can be pursued. And Professor 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.720 Dershowitz and Greg Jard agree with me inasmuch as everyone 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.720 that was pardoned they no longer have their Fifth Amendment 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:31.560 rights if they testify before Congress. We know there was 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.960 a flurry of activity, which by the way, gets into 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.080 your book, which has out followed the science how big 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:41.160 farmer misleads, obscures and prevails. And you do a lot 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.640 of discussion of the COVID corruption and Fauci, the fraud, 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.480 et cetera, et cetera. You know, in the case of Fauci, 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.600 we know in early January of twenty twenty and we 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.840 only found out about COVID in late December of twenty nineteen, 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.520 that there was a flurry of emails among high ranking 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.560 NIH officials, including Fauci, laid into the night because they 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.800 were scared to death that NIH money. And it turns 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.079 out NIH money did go to the Wuhan Virology Lab 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.319 visa vi the Eco Health Alliance. They knew gain of 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.640 function research took place, and yet they tried to hide 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.080 the origins of the COVID virus from the beginning, didn't. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.920 They They did, and you know, not just through EcoHealth Alliance. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.520 I published for grant numbers a long time ago that 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.800 came from the government directly for research partnering with the 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.040 Chinese lab with US scientists here, and I can tell 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.440 you and I reported this in early twenty twenty one. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.760 Of course, our government knew that this was man manipulated 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.280 virus that likely came from that lab, despite what you 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.679 were hearing. And I got that straight from the horse's 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.960 mouth from the government military scientists who naturally dissected the 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:55.000 genetic origins of this first thing. That was done immediately 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.520 in twenty twenty, as soon as they got a sample 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.640 of it and they saw clear evidence of man manipulation. 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:02.960 I was told that on the record and reported that 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.760 on full measure, so you know, it's not a mystery. 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.960 It kind of bugged me this immedia weights for the 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.720 sometimes crooked government officials to say something before they act 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.079 like it's true. That's the new trend. I mean, twenty 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.920 years ago we would have done our own reporting and 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.800 said what the evidence showed, and now we're still like 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.840 on data breath. Oh, the CIA now says maybe it 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.200 came from the labart we all knew that, Like, we 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.079 don't have to wait for the government to codify or 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.480 tell us something that's been long known and pretend it's 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.640 only real when the government says so. 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.080 That's But think of what you're saying here is we 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.240 knew this from the beginning, but they went about a 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:44.280 misinformation campaign to try and convince us it was a 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.960 wet market. They knew damn well that that US dollars 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:52.199 funded this lab. They knew gain and research gain a function, 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.880 research took place. They purposely manipulated people. They lied to 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.040 the American people said if you get the shot, you're 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.360 not going to get COVID. Oh, that didn't turn out 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:06.160 very well. They also said you wouldn't if infect other people, 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.280 so you should do it for grandma and grandpa. That 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.880 turned out to be a lie. The guy that created 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.840 the technology, doctor Robert Malone, was on this program frequently 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.560 at the time, and he was saying and he invented 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.880 the technology for m RNA vaccines, and he said it 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.520 wasn't ready. He said, however, he would use it for 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:30.199 emergency authorization because for older people, people with coll morbidities, 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.559 people with pre existing conditions, only because they were dying 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.040 at a much higher rate than other people. It wasn't 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.199 designed for kids. And he was very clear about it. 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.320 He got beat up in the media. Rogan had him on. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.720 After Rogan successfully beat back, he said, I threw everything 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.880 at it. He threw a HCQ at it, ivermectan at it, mona, 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.200 clonal antibodies at it. Instead of the media saying, well, 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.800 we're glad you're okay, Joe, I'm glad you know you 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.559 were able to survive it. You know they attacked him. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:06.240 It's pretty unbelievable anyway, Uh, don't for Cheryl Atkinson, investigative journalist, 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.760 author her latest book, Follow the Science How Big Farmer 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.959 Misleads Obscures Prevails on Amazon dot com, Hannity dot Com. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.480 Just prepare you for what's going to happen this week. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.680 We have Robert F. Kennedy Junior, Cash Pattel, and Tulsea 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:24.800 Gabbard and there will be their hearings before the Democrats 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.760 in the United States Senate. Let me tell you what 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:36.040 to expect. Expect vile, vicious Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas Justice 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:41.600 Brett Kavanaugh style treatment. They will smear, they will slander, 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:46.280 they will be smirch, they will attack at and they 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.640 will do everything in their power. They they want to 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:54.360 get a scalp. They want to get you know, they 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.080 want to that. They want to do rail at least 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.840 one person. It might be the right time and we'll 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.520 give out the number tomorrow. Won't get it started too early, 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.680 you know, it might be the right time to contact 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:13.320 your Republican senators and tell them that President Trump you 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.600 voted for him, and that President Trump should have the 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.560 cabinet that he wants. If people, over time show that 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.360 they're incapable of doing the job, then it would be 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.040 time to replace them. But this is just done at 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:34.400 a pure petty swamp vindictiveness. And you know, especially it's 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.880 it's sad that you know, you you almost have to 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:42.560 assume you're starting without Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitch McConnell. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.480 And that means there's no room, no margin for error. 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.520 Every other Republican will have to support the president in 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.400 his selection. All Right, we'll get to your calls next. 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.480 Eight hundred ninety four one shown our number. If you 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:56.200 want to be a part of the. 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:09.200 Program, he'll hear what everyone really thinks in DC. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:14.040 This is the Sean Hannity Show. All right, twenty five 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.960 now till the top of the hour. Eight hundred and 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:17.640 nine four one, Shawn is a number you want to 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.280 be a part of the program. Yesterday was International Holocaust 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.920 Remembrance Day, and that is a day that the world 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:30.240 needs to pause and remember and never ever ever forget 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.760 what happened back in the Holocaust when you had millions 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.800 of Jews slaughter during the Nazi reign of terror. Today, 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.320 you know, we see a rise of global anti Semitism. 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.640 We see it in our own country, sadly, we see 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.320 it in the halls of Congress. We see it on 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:50.440 college campuses. And you know, and yet what part of 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.200 murder and kidnapping and torture and beheading some people on 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:58.000 the left doone understand. I will never understand. We have 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:02.000 proudly partnered with our friends at the International Fellowship of 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.399 Christians and Jews because you have tens and tens of 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.480 thousands of Israelis that have been displaced. Now Donald Trump 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:13.840 is moving quickly. He's provided to Israel, committed to get 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.320 to Israel bunker buster bombs. That's only for one reason 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.680 from my perspective, and that is he sees that if 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.040 the Iranians has reported are that closed to nuclear weapons, 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.320 he will provide the weaponry that will ensure that we 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.960 don't have a modern day holocaust. But that does not 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.240 help the people that have been displaced from their homes, 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.439 that need food and shelter and bare necessities and medicines. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.600 And that's what the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:45.399 are providing. Thanks to your generosity and through your gift, 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.480 you are standing with the people of Israel as they 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:53.120 battle radical Islamic terrorists, and please help us help them. 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.560 Go to their website it support IFCJ dot org. That 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:01.240 support IFCJ one word dot org or give him a 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.600 call now it's eight eight eight four eight eight I 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.520 f c J eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.840 two day. Well, I see that little Jimmy Acosta or 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:16.520 Jimmy is gone out of fake news CNN. He apparently 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.480 was offered the midnight to two am slot. You know, 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:24.479 I had a little rowback with Jim Acosta a while ago. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:30.000 He's a radical left wing democratic supporting Trump hating talk 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.920 show host. And this has been part of CNN's problem. 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:36.399 I mean, there's an article out. You know, we're we 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:40.840 now on a nightly basis, are beating fake news CNN 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.360 by seven, eight, nine, ten times. What their audiences are 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:49.800 MS has a little cult audience of real radical, conspiracy 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.679 believing leftists, you know that want to call Trump a 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.000 Nazi and a fascist and a racist and compare him 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.800 to Hitler, Stalin, a Mussolini. But there's not a very 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.000 big audience for that, and Joe Concho is making this 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:07.520 point yesterday, but you know he is leaving, and the 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.240 way they say, oh, they want to throw a bone 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.240 to Donald Trump. No, he fired himself. And this is 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.800 what I've been saying about, you know, being at the 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.480 forefront of new media in many ways. When I got 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.280 into talk radio, there were hardly in any talk stations 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:25.040 or news talk stations in the country. The first foray 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.760 into new media really was talk radio. And then we 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.240 had bloggers, and then we had Free Republic back in 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:35.520 the day, and forms began to pop up, and social 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.680 media began to take off, and podcasting began to take off, etc. 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.080 And anyway, so this goes back. I think that August 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:47.679 of twenty eighteen, he attacked me as a propagandist for 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.760 profit pedaling lies every night and saying I was injecting 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:57.280 poison into the political bloodstream. He was actually describing himself. 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.560 I responded at the time, called him a liberal partisan 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.040 hack and declaring that he was you know, he was 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.960 accused me of I don't remember. Anyway, what was interesting 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.560 about this exchange is, you know, he goes on to 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:16.480 say and make a prediction that you know, I'm confident 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.840 in the long run, the truth is going to prevail. Well, 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.400 I would argue the truth has prevailed. You know. One 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.119 of the things we take very seriously on this program 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.639 and on Hannity the TV show, is we like to 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:31.440 get things right. We work hard to get things right. 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.159 I've told this story many times about Richard Jewel. I 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.000 did not believe he fit the profile of the lone 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:43.199 bomber at the Olympic, at the Olympic bombing in Atlanta, 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.640 just because he lived with his mother. I didn't rush 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.800 to judgment. We didn't rush to judgment in Ferguson. We 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.920 didn't rush the judgment with George Zimmermann. We didn't rush 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.960 the judgment with Duke Lacrosse. We didn't rush the judgment 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.959 with Freddie Gray. We didn't rush the judgment with UVA 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:02.560 or the Russia hoax, or or Faiza abuse or the 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:07.120 fifty one former Intel officials. We have a track record 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.960 of telling truth to our audience because that is a 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:14.120 primary role. I believe to have any credibility if you're 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.119 in the media, whether as a member of the press. 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:19.359 I'm a talk show host that is very upfront and 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.960 honest about my opinions and that's one of the big distinctions. Also, 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:26.840 they say that they are journalists. Jim Acosta fancies himself 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:31.360 a journalist and he's not. And all his time when 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.200 Donald Trump in his first term, would go to the podium, 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:37.040 his only goal was to get his viral moment of 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.760 the day that fake news CNN would run to death 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:43.880 of him confronting Donald Trump and being combative. By the way, 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.720 Caroline Levit crushed it today her first day on the 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:48.720 job as the White House Press Secretary. She'll be on 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:52.320 Hannaday tonight as well. Christy Nomas on she was on 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:54.560 that raid. As I mentioned earlier in the program, She's 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:59.600 going to be on tonight. But he got fired. And anyway, 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:03.440 we do have Jim Acosta announcing he's leaving. Listen, let's listen. 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:06.159 I just wanted to end today's show by thanking all 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.600 of the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.000 this network. You may have seen some reports about me 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:13.840 and the show, and after giving all of this some 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:17.199 careful consideration and weighing an alternative time slot, seeing an 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:20.920 offer me, I've decided to move on. I am grateful 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.680 to CNN for the nearly eighteen years I've spent here 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.160 doing the news as the son of a Cuban refugee. 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.600 I took home this lesson. It is never a good 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.320 time to bow down to a tyrant. I've always believed 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:36.720 it's the job of the press to hold power to account. 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.159 I've always tried to do that here at CNN, and 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:41.760 I plan on doing all of that in the future. 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.800 One final message, don't give into the lies. Don't give 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:51.240 into the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope. 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.159 Even if you have to get out your phone, record 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:57.639 that message. I will not give into the lies. I 0:22:57.680 --> 0:23:01.000 will not give into the fear. Posted on your social 0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:03.120 media so people can hear from you too. 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:05.639 People are saying, don'ma the door hit you in the 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.639 ass on the way out now. I don't take joy. 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:12.919 I can see Linda through this microphone. You're smiling. I 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.320 really don't. I know my success in radio or TV 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:18.240 and media is not going to be based on other 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:23.120 people's failure, but it is. That message alone just tells 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:27.040 you everything you need to know about Jim Acosta. Jim 0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:33.359 Acosta is a radical leftist. You know Kamala Biden Trump hating. 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:36.960
