Speaker 1: To Sean Hannity Show. Eight hundred and nine to one,
Speaker 1: Shawn is a number you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program. We welcome to the program. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to the program. Our friend Brett Barr. He's the host
Speaker 1: of Special Report on the Fox News Channel. And by
Speaker 1: the way, he's written an amazing new book. It's called
Speaker 1: to Rescue the American Spirit Teddy Roosevelt, The Birth of
Speaker 1: a Superpower. I think there is a lot of relevancy
Speaker 1: and a lot of similarities to what we are seeing
Speaker 1: unfold in terms of the re emergence of American strength
Speaker 1: on the world stage now under President Trump. But Brett
Speaker 1: Bhar always a pleasure to have you back, sir.
Speaker 2: How are you hey, Sean? It is a crazy time.
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me back.
Speaker 1: I think I'm more often a guest with you, though.
Speaker 1: I mean, I like when you're hosting election nights. I
Speaker 1: get to go on and give my commentary. And I
Speaker 1: think the last election, I think everybody on that panel,
Speaker 1: there might have been twelve people on that panel. We're
Speaker 1: looking at me like, Okay, he's really over his skis.
Speaker 1: And I even said, well, if I'm wrong, you can
Speaker 1: print Hannity's wrong. T shirts, and I laid out what
Speaker 1: was going to happen the rest of election night about
Speaker 1: nine thirty in the evening, and I said, at this point,
Speaker 1: for Kamala Harris to win the race, she's gonna lose
Speaker 1: North Carolina Georgia, which you called shortly thereafter, and she
Speaker 1: had no chance in Arizona, and she would likely lose Nevada,
Speaker 1: which meant she would have to win Pennsylvania, Michigan, in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: And then I explained why she was she had a
Speaker 1: math problem because her numbers were weighed down from where
Speaker 1: Joe Biden had been four years earlier. I think everybody
Speaker 1: on that panel, I don't know about you. I don't
Speaker 1: know what you would think. And you kind of was
Speaker 1: Stoic was looking at me like he's nuts.
Speaker 2: He's got the roadmap. Bill Hammer and I were like
Speaker 2: trying to keep up. But it turned out everything that
Speaker 2: you said early on nine thirty, I think it might
Speaker 2: have been before nine thirty, it turned out to be right,
Speaker 2: you know, only within within an hour a hour and
Speaker 2: a half.
Speaker 1: You know, it was an amazing night in the historic night.
Speaker 1: And and this is what we live for in this business,
Speaker 1: isn't it. I mean, those nights that are big news nights.
Speaker 1: You love it. I love it, you know, traveling with
Speaker 1: the President of the United States, interviewing presidents and vice
Speaker 1: presidents and secretaries of States and foreign leaders. You know,
Speaker 1: to me, it's it's an honor to be able to
Speaker 1: do all of it. And and we both have had,
Speaker 1: you know, successful careers, and it's it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: And I'm honored that people give us that opportunity every.
Speaker 2: Night one percent. And those elections are like our super Bowl,
Speaker 2: and those big moments when you're traveling with the president
Speaker 2: or interviewing a president is there's nothing like that. You know,
Speaker 2: Teddy Roosevelt gives the speech in Paris that eventually becomes
Speaker 2: known as the Man in the Arena, And you could say,
Speaker 2: in this job, you're in the arena. You're covering stuff
Speaker 2: that is historic and moving the needle and actual a
Speaker 2: lot of people. So you know Teddy Roosevelt's words, it's
Speaker 2: not the critic who counts. Not the man who points
Speaker 2: out to the strong man stumbles or where the doer
Speaker 2: of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to
Speaker 2: the man who is actually in the arena. And he
Speaker 2: goes on and it's one of his most famous speeches.
Speaker 1: I want to get to your book in a second.
Speaker 1: I would argue, in the last presidential cycle, you had
Speaker 1: the most consequential interview of anybody. And that's when Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris agreed to sit down with you. And if I'm
Speaker 1: I'm mistaken, tell me he was supposed to be there
Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong. Your show's on at
Speaker 1: six eastern and she was supposed to show up at
Speaker 1: five point fifteen. Am I wrong about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So what happened was she wanted to do a
Speaker 2: pre tape and her event was going to end at
Speaker 2: four thirty, and I said, we will be ready at
Speaker 2: four thirty, but we have to be done by five
Speaker 2: point fifteen because we have to cueue the tape up
Speaker 2: and we were planning on doing half an hour and
Speaker 2: we had to run it at the top of six,
Speaker 2: so at the last possibility, we have to start taping
Speaker 2: at five point fifteen. And she finished her event at
Speaker 2: four twenty. She went to a holding room right outside
Speaker 2: where our interview was set up, and we didn't hear
Speaker 2: from her, And so it was four point thirty and
Speaker 2: four forty four forty five four fifty five o'clock, five
Speaker 2: oh five. Now my producers are pacing, people are pulling
Speaker 2: their hair out. Five ten. Again, the cutoff is five fifteen.
Speaker 2: The Vice president walked out of that door at five
Speaker 2: fourteen thirty and walked to the seat and sat down
Speaker 2: and I said, mad and Vice President, it was an
Speaker 2: interesting event outside, thank you for being here. And she
Speaker 2: looked at me and said you ready. And that's the
Speaker 2: two words she said when we started the interview.
Speaker 1: So what's fascinating about it? She had done very few
Speaker 1: real interviews, I would argue up to that point, maybe none,
Speaker 1: And I thought it was it was a consequential moment.
Speaker 1: And and that's a tough position, I think for you
Speaker 1: to be in, because I'm on the opinion side of
Speaker 1: Fox News. You're on the news side of Fox News,
Speaker 1: and there is a delineation and people sometimes don't understand that.
Speaker 1: But I think I have a lot more flexibility, which
Speaker 1: I prefer. I think your job is a little bit
Speaker 1: harder in that respect. But there were so many unanswered
Speaker 1: questions that that had had been hanging out there, and
Speaker 1: you had a very small window to get them in,
Speaker 1: and that it made that interview that much harder. And
Speaker 1: I give you a lot of credit in that interview
Speaker 1: because you did press her and when she tried to filibuster,
Speaker 1: you know, you understood the time was short and you
Speaker 1: really needed to get some questions in here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know it is a balance, and you
Speaker 2: know you can follow up up again and again, and
Speaker 2: you know my rule is three times and the audience
Speaker 2: knows she's not answering the question. But there were a
Speaker 2: couple of times where she stopped and said, Brett, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about, and I said, matter if
Speaker 2: I president, No, I.
Speaker 1: Don't, not really. And you know, I don't think anyone
Speaker 1: still ever got an answer to the question, do you
Speaker 1: still support taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegals and
Speaker 1: for convicts. I don't think anyone ever got that question, in.
Speaker 2: Which arguably was the most effective commercial that ran during
Speaker 2: football games in the NFL. Leaving up it was huge. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: well it's coming to fight, I think, and she wanted
Speaker 2: that fight. And believe it or not, when we wrapped up,
Speaker 2: and there was a hard wrap by their people, you know,
Speaker 2: saying you've got to finish, which is why we I
Speaker 2: was going to say at the end, if you win,
Speaker 2: how can you bring the country together? I could never
Speaker 2: get there because they were wrapping me so hard. But
Speaker 2: at the end, her people said, that's what we wanted.
Speaker 2: We wanted it to be tough, we wanted her to
Speaker 2: push back. I just didn't think that that was the
Speaker 2: best look in the in the interview itself.
Speaker 1: And I think, what did they cut it down to
Speaker 1: that eighteen minutes instead of a half hour, you weren't
Speaker 1: able to go the time that it had been promised.
Speaker 1: An allocator for you, if I recall. So, I've been
Speaker 1: reading your book and I'm fascinated by Teddy Roosevelt, and
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated like you are, by history, and it's it's
Speaker 1: kind of amazing. I was amazed at the parallels of
Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt's time in the birth of a superpower, and
Speaker 1: I felt America in terms of its stature in the
Speaker 1: world declined dramatically. Again, this is my opinion during Biden,
Speaker 1: especially the disastrous pull out in Afghanistan. And I think
Speaker 1: that President Trump has reasserted American leadership and dominance and
Speaker 1: strength as a superpower since he's gotten back into office
Speaker 1: in a way that I don't think anybody anticipated. Or imagined.
Speaker 1: You know, the Iranian nuclear strike would be an example,
Speaker 1: you know, working so hard to get peace in the
Speaker 1: Middle East and the release of the hostages. I saw
Speaker 1: China today had had bought into not exactly a boycott,
Speaker 1: but they're pulling back on the purchasing of Russian oil
Speaker 1: because of the terriff issue that's now associated with it,
Speaker 1: which is Trump exerting, you know, economic strength of the US.
Speaker 1: But I saw a lot of parallels between Teddy Roosevelt
Speaker 1: and President Trump and what he's doing. Now do you
Speaker 1: see those parallels and how would you describe them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see the direct parallels. I mean, it's not
Speaker 2: one to wan across the board on ideology, on everything,
Speaker 2: but it is first of all a force of personality
Speaker 2: and a figure that's larger than lives, but one who
Speaker 2: one wants to reach forward and be active in the world.
Speaker 2: You know, for all of the people who say President
Speaker 2: Trump and who's administration and America first was going to
Speaker 2: be isolationist, it's exactly opposite of that. It is America
Speaker 2: thinking about America, what's good for America, but also being
Speaker 2: forceful in the world. And you look at how some
Speaker 2: of these leaders are reacting to President Trump. You know
Speaker 2: the Gulf States, how that first trip, you know, they
Speaker 2: all put out the red carpet in a way that
Speaker 2: they had never done before. And now we're integral in
Speaker 2: making the ceasefire work and hopefully hold between Israel and Hamas. So,
Speaker 2: you know, Roosevelt, this book kind of is centered on
Speaker 2: his legacy to position the United States as this world power,
Speaker 2: and his most significant one of them was brokering this
Speaker 2: peace deal between Russia and Japan, and he arranges for
Speaker 2: the two sides to hold a peace conference in Portsmouth,
Speaker 2: New Hampshire, and he really works behind the scenes, as
Speaker 2: President Trump did in a lot of these different peace
Speaker 2: negotiations that he's done. He works behind the scenes to
Speaker 2: kind of reach an agreement, and Roosevelt the result of
Speaker 2: that is a nobel pras he later, when Japan gets
Speaker 2: a little ornery and things are strained, he comes up
Speaker 2: with the idea to show American force and ships of
Speaker 2: the American fleet all painted white from battleship Gray and
Speaker 2: he creates the Great White Fleet, and he sails the
Speaker 2: fleet around the world in a peaceful demonstration of kind
Speaker 2: of American might and the reminder of its power. And promise,
Speaker 2: and I just think that that has similarities about our
Speaker 2: strength around the world and what the president, President Trump
Speaker 2: is trying to do.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, I think i'd be negligent because
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much history in this book, which
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing, and I urge people to get a
Speaker 1: copy of it. And it's called to Rescue the American
Speaker 1: Spirit Teddy Roosevelt, The Birth of a Superpower. It's on
Speaker 1: Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com, bookstores around the country.
Speaker 1: I often criticize the media. I think the media generally speaking,
Speaker 1: I've made the argument that I believe legacy media is dead.
Speaker 1: I think it died in this election. I think Donald
Speaker 1: Trump has forever tattooed the words fake and news into
Speaker 1: the forehead of CNNMSDNC and the three major networks. I
Speaker 1: think people are more skeptical than ever before. Do you
Speaker 1: have an assessment of where they've gone wrong? I thought
Speaker 1: it was interesting Barry Weiss asking the sixty Minutes team,
Speaker 1: why does the country think you're all biased? That's an
Speaker 1: interesting question because most people I know believe they're very biased.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and clearly the Paramount Purchase is interested in finding
Speaker 2: more balance and an effort to get back to some
Speaker 2: semblance of coverage that's there. Listen, We've talked about this, Sean,
Speaker 2: you and I and you know, I'm not where you
Speaker 2: are as far as giving up. I think that there
Speaker 2: are still some good reporters out there and some good folks.
Speaker 2: But I do think that President Trump in the first
Speaker 2: term and the second term broke the minds of some
Speaker 2: reporters that were normal, straight down the middle guys and women,
Speaker 2: and the emotion that came with their pushback became Trump
Speaker 2: derangement syndrome, and it showed in almost every story that
Speaker 2: they did. And so then we got years of Russia, Russia, Russia,
Speaker 2: and to your credit, you, you know, you really pushed
Speaker 2: back with substance and were one of the leading people
Speaker 2: on you know, pushing back on all the narratives. Eventually
Speaker 2: it all came much like your election night predictions came
Speaker 2: to be, and you know, the coverage of that was
Speaker 2: not to be seen around the country. So I think
Speaker 2: people got set up and looked at a lot of
Speaker 2: this and said I'm sick of it. Now. I will
Speaker 2: say that six to seven Special Report, we're trying to
Speaker 2: do all sides, and we're trying to give it. You
Speaker 2: know that people have a sense of what's happening in
Speaker 2: the US and around the world with some analysis at
Speaker 2: the end. It's a different animal, you know than an
Speaker 2: opinion show. But I think it's one of the only
Speaker 2: places left that is kind of trying to do it.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I think it's it. I don't see
Speaker 1: it anywhere else. I just don't, which is a credit
Speaker 1: to you and Fox in my view. Yeah, anyway, the
Speaker 1: book is great. A lot of kudos to you. I
Speaker 1: urge everybody to get a copy of it. To rescue
Speaker 1: the American Spirit, Teddie Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower.
Speaker 1: We have a link on Hannity dot com or you
Speaker 1: can go to Amazon dot com or bookstores now all
Speaker 1: across the country. My friend colleague Repbaer host a special
Speaker 1: report six pm Eastern on the Fox News Channel. Sir,
Speaker 1: thank you always a pleasure and we appreciate you coming
Speaker 1: on with us.
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: Sean, We'll see you eight hundred nine four one, Sean
Speaker 1: our number. You want to be a part of the program. Listen,
Speaker 1: we all need a better night's sleep. It's just a fact, anyway.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine to four one, Sewan. If you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program, Linda, you're
Speaker 1: not a sports person. I don't know if I can
Speaker 1: bring this.
Speaker 3: I am a sports person. I just you know, I'm not.
Speaker 1: It's crossing the plane. What's crossing the plane?
Speaker 3: That is when you take your football and it goes
Speaker 3: past the pylons into the goal line and you get
Speaker 3: a touchdown.
Speaker 1: It's only taking you nearly a decade to get it
Speaker 1: mostly right.
Speaker 3: Listen, all right, I'm standing by my field goal equaling one,
Speaker 3: two or three. We had a coach come in.
Speaker 1: The field goal does not equal one to two or three.
Speaker 1: The field goals is three points.
Speaker 3: Depends on the situation.
Speaker 1: No, okay, there's no situation in NFL football or college football.
Speaker 1: We're a field goal football.
Speaker 3: I'm not doing anything with NFL. And they're bad bunny bs.
Speaker 3: They can stick it up there, you know where I'm not.
Speaker 1: You know they're talking about having an alternative.
Speaker 3: They're not talking about it.
Speaker 1: They're having it. Oh, it's real going to happen. John
Speaker 1: Rich and a bunch of other people are getting together
Speaker 1: and John.
Speaker 3: Rasa gets in on it too. Would be fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'd be great. I agree with you, it'd be very.
Speaker 3: Anything's better than this demonic. You only can speak Spanish
Speaker 3: in halftime.
Speaker 1: It's crap. I don't know anything about this guy. Nothing.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what you need to learn to speak Spanish
Speaker 3: one then he can communicate with you. He's an idiot
Speaker 3: a studio Espanol on a squoiler like, well, you did
Speaker 3: pretty good there. I'm glad you can speak a little
Speaker 3: bit after studying in school for three years. But at
Speaker 3: the end of the day, we don't.
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't need to all speak English. Those
Speaker 1: todays I can do that, I can count.
Speaker 3: And then that idiot Roger Goodell saying, oh I'm not
Speaker 3: I'm not removing bad bunny, blah blah.
Speaker 1: Shut up.
Speaker 3: It's such utter not.
Speaker 1: They don't care apparently the guy. They're woke.
Speaker 3: So it's an either end zone. But you can't wear
Speaker 3: a cancer or an American flag on your helmet. You
Speaker 3: can't wear anything positive on your body. But you can
Speaker 3: put like, you know, whatever their unity signs or they
Speaker 3: have five slogans and they have to be in the
Speaker 3: end zone of every single team in the NFL. It's
Speaker 3: utter nonsense.
Speaker 1: So let me tell you what's happening with sports betting
Speaker 1: and betting in general. So I have a friend of mine,
Speaker 1: and this guy's brilliant and he's great at what he does.
Speaker 1: He's an addiction specialist and he helps people all kinds
Speaker 1: of addiction, alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction. You know, he
Speaker 1: runs the Gambit and we had a conversation about gambling addiction.
Speaker 1: And now the sports betting world and betting online has
Speaker 1: now made it possible that basically anybody that wants to
Speaker 1: bet can bet twenty four to seven, and it's become
Speaker 1: a real problem. He said. The dopamine hit that betters
Speaker 1: get is so powerful you can't overcome it. And he's
Speaker 1: describing the most heart wrenching scenarios of case. He doesn't
Speaker 1: tell me who, obviously, he said, Sean, they're people committing
Speaker 1: suicide because they're in debt up to their eyeballs and
Speaker 1: they don't see any other way out. He said that,
Speaker 1: you know, you have successful people, financially successful that blow
Speaker 1: up their lives and they spend every dollar and they
Speaker 1: lose their family home and their cars are being repossessed,
Speaker 1: and they literally are in debt now up to their
Speaker 1: eyeballs and they don't like there's nothing he can do
Speaker 1: for them except tell them, you know, try and get
Speaker 1: them to, you know, stop. And he said that in
Speaker 1: and of itself, is hard to do. He said, it's
Speaker 1: easier to treat This is what he said to me
Speaker 1: that really stood out to me. It's easier to treat alcohol,
Speaker 1: holism and drug addiction then people that are that are
Speaker 1: addicted to gambling. Can you imagine that that's that's how pervasive.
Speaker 3: Listen, it's very scary. But you know, there is such
Speaker 3: a thing as free will, and if people want to
Speaker 3: go and it's all.
Speaker 1: About free will, at the end of the day, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to make a decision. You don't want any
Speaker 1: more pain in your life, and you're just gonna have
Speaker 1: to give up the dopamine hit that you get when
Speaker 1: you know in the charge you get when you're you're
Speaker 1: you're betting and looking for an outcome, and you know,
Speaker 1: and you're waiting for that field goal to be kicked
Speaker 1: for three points, not two, not one, but three at
Speaker 1: the end of the game, and and everything's writing on it.
Speaker 1: And if you hit it, you're in happy land. If
Speaker 1: you lose it, you may be lost one hundred grand.
Speaker 1: I mean people are spending that kind of crazy money. Now,
Speaker 1: these companies are not stupid either, because they will have
Speaker 1: a profile on every one of their customers, and they
Speaker 1: build out these algorithms and they can literally fine tune
Speaker 1: exactly the type of thing you're going to be most
Speaker 1: interested in betting on, and they will they will right you,
Speaker 1: and they will incentivize you to bet if you haven't
Speaker 1: bet in a while. And it's like wow. Anyway, Cash
Speaker 1: Pattel detailed massive sports rigging, a sports rigging operation with
Speaker 1: ties to the mafia that led to the arrest of
Speaker 1: an NBA player and a coach, The Portland Trailblazer coach
Speaker 1: Chauncey Billups his name and Miami Heat guard what's his name,
Speaker 1: Terry Rosier arrested and charged in connection to this illegal
Speaker 1: game gambling schemes. UH. In the case of this this
Speaker 1: Miami heat guard, his case related to suspicious betting activity
Speaker 1: during a game. I mean these you can bet on
Speaker 1: whether or not a pitch is going to be a
Speaker 1: ball or strength. We had the case of this one
Speaker 1: pitcher that so much money was waged on two specific
Speaker 1: pitches that he threw in the dirt in one case, uh,
Speaker 1: and that they they literally can can fine tune whether
Speaker 1: or not that that bet was way out of line
Speaker 1: with normal and whether or not there's some type of
Speaker 1: collusion anyway, one FBI agent saying the FBI supervisor agent,
Speaker 1: you know, marveling at the apparent resurgence of the American mafia.
Speaker 1: Fox News covered this today. Interestingly, ESPN blew off this
Speaker 1: massive FBI presser on NBA gambling indictments. All other major
Speaker 1: cable news networks aired it because if you can't watch
Speaker 1: a sporting event today without you know, reading about the
Speaker 1: odds and watching ads for sports betting apps, I you know,
Speaker 1: I might like hit around and say to Clay Travis,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll bet you five hundred bucks that this
Speaker 1: team is gonna win this. By the way, every bet
Speaker 1: I've ever had with Clay Travis, I've won everyone I've
Speaker 1: never asked to collect. But he like, he can't believe
Speaker 1: it because he's way more into you know, that world
Speaker 1: than I am. I mean, I look at the stuff
Speaker 1: they Portnoid does. I'm like, my gosh, he bet like
Speaker 1: a million dollars on some stuff. I mean, but he's
Speaker 1: also got them as advertisers. I'm sure he gets I'm
Speaker 1: sure he gets a lot of consideration there. But put
Speaker 1: it off on the side. This has the potential of
Speaker 1: ruining potential sports. But it's even bigger than that. It
Speaker 1: is the potential to ruin lives. That part scares me
Speaker 1: because people aren't They're not going to be able to stop.
Speaker 1: You're not at all interested in the sports topic, are you?
Speaker 3: No, it's interesting. I mean, I don't know who any
Speaker 3: of the people are what you're talking about, but you know, sure,
Speaker 3: I'm learning.
Speaker 1: All right, Explain to this audience how a field goal
Speaker 1: can be for either one, two or three points. Explain
Speaker 1: that I can't right now. We're talking about basketball. That's
Speaker 1: the that's the sport that I'm focused. Now we're switching
Speaker 1: to you want to step up, you know, like, okay,
Speaker 1: so now you explain how you can because you can't
Speaker 1: get one or two points from a field goal.
Speaker 3: We're doing basketball. It's round, it's orange, has a lot
Speaker 3: of black stripes. Katie and and Jason argue about it and.
Speaker 1: How many how many points do you get for three
Speaker 1: free throw? And everyone in that room I don't even
Speaker 1: know what.
Speaker 3: A free throw is. That's my hands of God.
Speaker 1: You don't know what a free throw is.
Speaker 3: Not even a clue, not even a clue.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I know how many points if you let's say, if
Speaker 1: you do a layup, how many points do you get?
Speaker 1: No idea, don't help her.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what a layup is.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding, it's not you know. What I liked
Speaker 3: I watched the Kobe Bryant documentary about his life. That's
Speaker 3: interesting to.
Speaker 1: Me that I like that was that was the most
Speaker 1: preventable helicopter and.
Speaker 3: The fact that his little girl was with him broke
Speaker 3: my heart heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Well, seeing him and helicopter was grounded, it was amazing.
Speaker 1: And he had a helicopter that required that is made
Speaker 1: for two pilots, not one, but he was flying just one.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: They requested even though every every police helicopter was grounded,
Speaker 1: they requested it what's called a vision flight, meaning where
Speaker 1: they can see and they wouldn't go above that altitude.
Speaker 1: And sure enough they ran into all the cloud cover
Speaker 1: which grounded all the other helicopters and they didn't see
Speaker 1: it coming. It's so sad. It was John in my
Speaker 1: free state of Florida. What's up, John, How are you?
Speaker 4: Thanks for taking my call. You know, I'm a New
Speaker 4: Jersey transplant from sadur River living in Naples, and I
Speaker 4: have to tell you a couple of things. Number One,
Speaker 4: when we look at Mickey Cheryl, we understand that she
Speaker 4: could fly a plane and she hates Trump. What else
Speaker 4: is she going to do for New Jersey?
Speaker 1: You know, I'd like to know why she doesn't know
Speaker 1: how she made seven million dollars. I'd like to know
Speaker 1: why she gives conflicting answers on why she was not
Speaker 1: allowed to walk with her graduating class and why she's
Speaker 1: not in the yearbook of her graduating class at the
Speaker 1: Naval Academy because she keeps saying something different every single time.
Speaker 1: I want to know why she won't take a pledge
Speaker 1: not to raise taxes on New Jersey when it's one
Speaker 1: of the highest tax states in the country.
Speaker 4: That's true. I mean, if you think about it, you know,
Speaker 4: Democrats never met a tax that they didn't like. Let's
Speaker 4: and let's face it. You know, at the end of
Speaker 4: the day, she voted against the salt deduction that they've
Speaker 4: been talking about for forty five years now, and she
Speaker 4: voted against the banning boys from playing women's sports. So
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, these are facts. They're
Speaker 4: not my facts, they're the facts.
Speaker 1: So well, New Jersey, this may be their last opportunity.
Speaker 1: This may be it because the damage will be so great.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're ever going to be able
Speaker 1: to come back. You'll be New York two point zero.
Speaker 1: You're you're right there now, But at least New Jersey.
Speaker 1: The polls show this is a winnable race for Jack Chitterelli. Now,
Speaker 1: I made a mistake in the last election cycle. The
Speaker 1: polls never showed it was going to be close. If
Speaker 1: it did, I would have paid more attention. And then
Speaker 1: Jack Chittarelli only by three points. And if I had
Speaker 1: known that, I would have paid attention. I'm not making
Speaker 1: the same mistake twice. Now that Matt Towry and Robert
Speaker 1: Caahley pulled New Jersey and showed to one point race,
Speaker 1: that means if you are a voter in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: you can stop the madness and reverse course. Now this
Speaker 1: may be your last shot. Now I'm gonna go above
Speaker 1: and beyond for the state of New Jersey. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have an announcement next week about what I'm going to do.
Speaker 1: How do you like that?
Speaker 4: That's great, And I'm gonna go one step further. I
Speaker 4: think we're going to see New Jersey flipbread and New
Speaker 4: York is gonna flip bread after governor, it's about time
Speaker 4: and let the adults.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: If New Jersey doesn't flip, I would say the odds
Speaker 1: go down exponentially in New York. Hey, New Jersey has
Speaker 1: to go first. This is New Jersey's opportunity. Understand, if
Speaker 1: you're in New Jersey and you're hearing my voice, go
Speaker 1: out and vote, because this is gonna be This race
Speaker 1: is going to be won by twenty thousand votes. Smack.
Speaker 1: That's how close this race is going to be. Okay,
Speaker 1: you got a shot. This is your shot. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it can I'm saying it can happen, but it's
Speaker 1: going to take all of you taking it seriously and
Speaker 1: look at it as your last opportunity to save that
Speaker 1: pathetic state because it's pretty pathetic. Under Phil Murphy. All right,
Speaker 1: my friend, appreciate it. Quick break right back to our phones.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn our number. If
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program.

Speaker 1: Next on The Sean Hannity Show. What's up, Maureen? How
Speaker 1: are you?
Speaker 2: Hey, Sean?
Speaker 5: Great to talk to you.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Great to talk to you.
Speaker 4: I want to know.
Speaker 5: I want to know why they're not pushing for CMO
Speaker 5: to drop out. It's a clear choice between a communist
Speaker 5: and law and order.
Speaker 2: Curtis Sliwa, that's what.
Speaker 4: We need you.
Speaker 1: No, you're you're asking a great question. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden with you know, early voting starting
Speaker 1: this weekend. Now everyone hit the panic button this week.
Speaker 1: I mean you should have hit the panic button after
Speaker 1: Zoron you know, uh COMMI Marxist Bondani won the primary.
Speaker 1: That's when, that's when it was time to hit the
Speaker 1: panic button. And when I guess, I guess CMO was
Speaker 1: on with Sid in the morning, and and you know
Speaker 1: said and Sid as well, why don't you approach Curtis
Speaker 1: and make a plan and kind of team up together.
Speaker 1: I never thought of that Oh okay, Well that's your fault.
Speaker 1: That's on you because you're you're the master politician. But
Speaker 1: you know, look, I think they got in a lot
Speaker 1: of blows last night against Mamdani. It was interesting to
Speaker 1: watch them sweat, but I don't think they had a
Speaker 1: knockout blow that's going to be a race changer. I
Speaker 1: didn't see it. I think this race is Ma'm Donnie's
Speaker 1: to lose by far. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm
Speaker 1: realistic and I'm not going to be Pollyannish and lie
Speaker 1: to my audience. I refuse. I just hope.
Speaker 5: Beautiful down here, but I love New York. I don't
Speaker 5: want to see it go down the toilet. And I
Speaker 5: was a cop for twenty one years up there. My
Speaker 5: daughter's a cop there now, and I'm just praying for
Speaker 5: Curtis to get in.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: I hope for the safety and security of my friends
Speaker 1: that remain in New York that that's the case. Although
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, with very few exceptions, everybody
Speaker 1: I know is leaving New York when they can. People
Speaker 1: come visit me all winter long. Oh man, I love
Speaker 1: it down here. I got to get out of there,
Speaker 1: That's what I hear from everybody without exception. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it took me a long time to get out anyway,
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, Mareen. Thank you. Look we're barreling
Speaker 1: towards the longest government shutdown in history. You know what
Speaker 1: for a lot of families now, it's a lot of
Speaker 1: financial anxiety. Democrats won't even pay our military for crying
Speaker 1: out loud. They don't want to give up their leverage.
Speaker 1: As we heard from Catherine Clark, a representative, yesterday, unbelievable
