Oh, I got a story for you parents 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:10.959 about kids and Santa, and it is going to make 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.560 your blood boil. You can't believe, by the way this 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.120 was done to five and six year olds, by the 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.319 way Saturday Night Live. They want. All they want for 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.319 Christmas is motor to lock up Trump. The only other 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.720 option is a coup, of course, from them. We'll get 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.440 into all of that, Al Sharton, It is the funniest 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.080 story I've ever seen. He pays himself a million and 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:39.680 a half dollars from his own National Action network. What 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.160 for for the rights to his life story? This is 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.800 his charity. He paid himself from his own charity five 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:52.880 hundred and thirty one grand according to his latest tax filing. Fire. 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:54.960 But they only get it for a ten year period 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.360 of time. I guess he'll sell it again for a 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.280 million dollars next time to the same people to coach 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.840 Seller's life store. I don't know why that struck me 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.880 is so funny today it did. Glad you're with us. Oh, 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:12.000 we have a lot of caravan news, massive success by 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:16.280 the president China tariffs. I've told every conservative friend of 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.680 mine that was most worried, legitimately so because about some 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.560 type of trade war that the president was going to 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.040 engage in or tariffs that he was going to place 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.760 on different countries. I said, Nope, it's not him. It's 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.200 a negotiating tactic. If you don't make them believe that 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.000 you're gonna do it, they're never gonna move and they're 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:40.960 never gonna offer. We have had horrible one sided deals 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.880 with everybody, that includes NATO, seventy two cents of every 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.520 dollar that includes our even our European allies and friends. 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:54.320 Supposedly they have one sided trade deals Mexico, NAFTA, Canada, 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.320 now China. So we're making huge progress, which we'll get 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.960 to also today we have a lot of deep state 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.880 news we're gonna get into in the course of the program. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:08.040 We'll make it all happen. Um, what do you say 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:13.840 about a guy like President George Herbert Walker Bush, except 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.160 he just embodies it's all part of I mean, this 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.079 is my dad's generation. My father bought four years in 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.840 the Pacific in World War Two, and he, by the way, 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.560 I didn't know, he's the longest. He lived longer than 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.920 any president in American history, only two families have had 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.119 a father and son become president, and he obviously being 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.960 one of them. And you think of his years as 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.880 Ambassador to China, director of the CIA, eight years the 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:48.160 Reagan got me in love with politics. Reagan convinced me. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.040 That's when I became a conservative. And here we are 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.840 thirty years later in radio, in my twenty third year 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:59.160 in Fox. It's amazing how many people don't get how 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.440 consistent I have been in terms of my conservative ideas 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:06.560 and philosophy. Of course, you can't be intellectually honest and 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.160 not at times change opinions on certain issues, which I 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.320 have evolved, and over time I can set myself a 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.200 little more civil libertarian certainly than I ever was before. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.560 I think the main things government ought to do ought 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.680 to be limited in nature. I've always believed that. Reagan 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.920 always said, you know, government is the problem. I've always 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:33.160 believed in lower taxes, free markets, liberty and freedom. I've 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:38.599 always believed that every individual is brought on this earth 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.400 is a child of God. Every single person has natural 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.760 talent and ability. That's where the word education comes from. Then, 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.480 that is, you know, to bring forth from within. That's 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.120 because God put it there. That's I've always believed in 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.039 that we're endowed by our creator, our founding document. I 0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:00.839 believe that our great constitution, but government becomes was more intrusive, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.040 more intrusive, and and Reagan taught me something. I studied 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.719 the eight years he was president. I was on radio 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.680 just as he was. You know, I guess I started 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.720 in nineteen eighty seven, and I remember I was like, 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.400 you know, here's a guy that gave us tax cuts 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.800 and created the single longest period of peacetime economic growth 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.520 in American history. He left the presidency having created over 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:30.080 twenty million new jobs. He literally and this happened actually 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.920 in the Bush years. You know, but as Reagan has said, 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.800 tear down this wall. And George Herbert Walker Bush presided 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:39.800 over that. And you know, I look at the life 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:44.039 of military service, I look at the life of as 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:49.400 a businessman. I was watching forty three George W. Bush 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.680 talking about his dad, and you know, he could have 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.359 joined a hedge fund. After college. He went to Yale. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.960 He was a great athlete, and no, he wanted to 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.920 be in Adessa, Texas, and you know, the living condition 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.760 weren't particularly great. He said. His mom would describe their 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:07.480 living next to prostitutes. Apparently, I'd never knew that story before. Anyway, 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.760 on a personal level, I've just gotten to know him, 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.800 and I know the family, and I've known him for 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.719 many years, and just they represent everything that is good 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:22.279 and decent. And this man spent a life serving his country. 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:28.040 He had in every capacity. His entire adult life was 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.360 about service for others, and he did it with a passion. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.039 It was only a couple of years ago, and you know, 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.760 he's still jumping out of airplanes. And you know, at 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.200 the end of the day, for any of us, when 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.320 that moment comes and we've got to meet our creator 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.839 and cross over to that other side. I think all 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.599 of us want to have lived life and the world 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:57.880 is a better, stronger place. The United States is better 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:02.159 and stronger because of George Herbert Walker Bush, especially in 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:06.560 his years as Vice president and president. It wasn't without controversy, 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.760 it wasn't without his own tough moments in life. I mean, 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.960 that's really what creates character and people, isn't it. When 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.200 we get tested and then those roots inside us, we 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.400 need to go deeper and deeper, don't we Otherwise we're 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.440 just going to get blown away in the in the 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.120 wind when the rains come and it's it's not good. Um. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.480 I did an interview with both forty one and forty three. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.560 I'm going to air parts of this tonight on Hannity. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:37.080 And there was a love between forty three and forty one. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:44.080 It was as unbelievable. I went down when the President Bush, 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.280 George W. Bush, you know, invited me to his museum 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.560 down there, and I went down on SMU campus. I 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.920 forgot was his father's presidential museum. I forget where, I 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.640 don't remember, but anyway, his dad and his mom were there. 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.080 Mom had recently passed away, as you all know, Barbara Bush. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.120 And so I'm doing an interview just with forty three 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:08.280 and forty one was in a wheelchair. And so anyway, 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:09.960 we're about to do the interview and he says, no, no, 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.320 I want to watch, and he came. He literally sat 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.040 and watched the interview with his son. Couldn't be more proud. 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.240 And I won't give it away, but what when I 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:23.120 interviewed them together, you know, and George Bush said this 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:24.760 in an interview that I saw last night or over 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.520 the weekend when I was watching maybe it was sixty 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.120 minutes last night, and he said, you know, told the 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.160 story when he first went into the Oval office and 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:37.040 his dad called him mister President, and how his father 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.080 really let him be his own man, and he said, 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:46.400 just love him and be a dad. It's just very touching, 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:51.000 and it just you. You just embodies greatness. Goodness. You know, 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:55.480 so many Americans never become famous. And by the way, 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.200 if you want it, you can. You may not pee 0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.880 Holt's cut out to be. Let me just say that. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.360 But at the end of the day, you know, whatever 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:08.000 you do for a living, whatever talent you have, we 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:12.240 all have to serve other people in some capacity. You know, 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.280 I can't imagine anything worse. I've said this many many times. 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:21.160 Then what it must be like if you don't have 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:26.600 a purpose and a job in life and you're not 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.400 giving back and I don't care what it is. Listen, 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.640 if I know we've always scorned almost some people have 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.240 scorned on the left. Stay at home moms. Let me 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.600 tell you. Stay at home being a mom bold time. 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.560 That's a full time job, loving your children, raising them right, 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.600 feeding them well, giving them great life experiences. You're serving 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.440 a child. I don't think there's anything greater than that. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.520 You're influencing who that person. You're shaping that person, helping 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.559 shape that person into becoming the person they were created 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.520 to be. I don't care if you're at McDonald's. You're 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:02.680 serving hungry people. So that's a valuable service. You know, 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.160 if you're building homes, if you're doing plumbing, if you're 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.560 doing electricity, if you're doing legal work, if you're a 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.959 doctor and you save lives every day, it doesn't matter. 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:16.199 And I've always felt that people that do their jobs publicly, 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.240 you know, get too much adulation. It's just true. But 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.200 it's the people that get up every single day and 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.560 shovel coffee down their throat, dress their kids, you know, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.040 pack them a lunch, send them off to school, go 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.920 put in their twelve hours, come home tired, do homework, 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.640 make dinner, you know, read to the kids, fall asleep, 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.000 get up and grind it out again the next day. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.720 But all of those people, collectively in a free society, 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.000 make this a better world than a better place, and 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.360 then you have great leaders. I maybe we can put 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.920 athletes on a pedestal, and look, there's only so many 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.640 people that can throw a ball over a tiny plate 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.840 at one hundred miles an hour and strike out people. 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.240 There's only so many guys that can hit that hundred 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.760 mile an hour basketball you know, long enough that it's 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.559 a home run, or you know, playing hockey or basketball 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.520 or tennis or golf or whatever it happens to be. 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.560 And so we marvel at people that are at the 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.920 top level of whatever their profession happens to be. But 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:23.040 whatever you do matters too. And so his job was 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:27.439 more public than what most people have. But it's not 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.719 any even if you're the president, it's not any more 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.320 important for this country to be great. It's people have 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.360 to be great. And there are so many people like 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.800 George Herbert Walker Bush who did so much good in 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.520 his life with a decency and a quietness that is 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.760 his nature. And by the way, you know, it's amazing 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.120 to me that the number one complain about Donald Trump. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:53.160 It's not about even people that say they're conservative. I'm 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:57.160 looking at them, Okay. So he's a disruptor. He fights 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:01.839 hard on every issue, even if it's better politics maybe 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.960 not to fight hard, but he's fighting hard with China, 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.000 North Korea, the Iranians. He doesn't care. He made a 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:15.600 promise to Israel about moving moving the Embassy to Jerusalem, 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.640 keeps it, He keeps his promises on regulation, on tax cuts, 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.640 on judges fighting every day for the Wall, and people 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:29.120 that were conservative cuts, taxes, originalist justices, energy independence, and 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:30.959 they can't find a good thing to say about the guy. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.720 They just don't like a style. Well, there's a time 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.040 and a place, in my opinion, for a George Herbert 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.480 Walker Bush and a Ronald Reagan, and there's a time 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.680 for a disruptor, somebody that's gonna fight hard, break things 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:48.000 and get it done. Because so much of Washington has 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:53.720 been broken, corrupt and horrible. But as long as you 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:58.080 have the intention and you apply the principles that work, 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.720 and people ben a fit. You know, I think people 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.080 feign more outrage than they do. Here's the sad part 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.040 of the whole coverage I've been watching this weekend is, 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:14.920 you know, literally you have the coverage where people that 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.640 were horrible. I saw this with John McCain too, People 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.760 that refer to John McCain as a racist, you know 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.720 when he's running for president, a horrible treatment of Mitt Romney, 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:29.400 binders of women's resumes, bludgeoned him. But now they like 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.160 him only because he criticizes Trump. You know, the horrible 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.280 thing said about Ronald Reagan, the horrible thing said about McCain, 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.319 the horrible thing said about George Herbert Walker Bush. Corrupt, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.400 You ought to be in jail, ran contra, blah blah blah. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.480 Oh he's the nicest man. But they basically doing is 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.959 using the death of George Herbert Walker Bush now to 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.920 bludgeon President Trump. But the same people were bludgeting or 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.960 people like them were bludgeoning George Herbert Walker Bush. And 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.559 just like I supported John McCain because I thought even 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.839 be a better president than Barack Obama, I was right, 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.520 by the way, And you know all these people now 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.640 that said horrible things in life, now you know, oh, 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.439 the greatest man ever. Reagan was the greatest man. Bush 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:15.840 was the greatest. And I can't stand that phoniness. That 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.000 more than anything drives me nuts. We pray for his 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.400 family today, and they're a very close family. This is 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:29.320 not easy, and especially it wasn't long ago that President 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.360 Bush's father, mother had had passed away, Barbara Bush. And 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.920 I know the President has sent Air Force one to 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:42.560 Houston to pick up the forty first president and his family. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.200 And there's gonna be a lot of ceremonies. We'll be 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.320 carrying it all this week for you. God speed, George 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.960 Herbert Walker Bush. You're a good man.

It's now okay 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.440 for the Democratic media, and it's okay now to say 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.640 nice things about George Herbert Walker Bush. AP had to 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.400 delete a tweet about the death of the former president. 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:16.240 It was a huge backlash on this, and it said, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.560 we've deleted a tweet and revised a story on the 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.440 death of President George Herbert Walker Bush because the tweet 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.920 and the opening story referenced his ninety two electoral defeat 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.640 and they didn't even talk about his World War Two service. 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.800 I mean, it's just so typical. You know. It's sad. 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.120 You know, John McCain for at least this as an example. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.320 John McCain and I had our battles over the years. 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:43.080 We really did when it mattered, and I thought he 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:44.800 was a better person for the job, and you got 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:46.640 a choice coming down to two people, and I knew 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.080 Obama was a rigid radical ideologue that was never gonna 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.320 ever change and his policies would be bad for the country. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.960 And by the way, all my predictions were born out, 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.840 and I supported John McCain, and I know he said, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.120 you know the hell are these people on talk radio? 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.399 How are these people on cable news? And I'm like, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.480 clearly you didn't hate me back in the days when 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.919 you were running for president. But it's fine. It's you know, 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:15.119 everyone trying to now use the death of President Bush 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:19.760 to attack President Trump in the media. This nbcas despite 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.680 the resentments between these two families, all right, you want 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.679 to and then the stylistic differences. I can play some 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.720 of this, we have them, will play m later in 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:32.680 the program. And I'm just thinking, you know, I watched 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:37.840 the treatment of Ronald Reagan in death. These people were 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:42.840 so gracious in life. They were horrific when it actually mattered, 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:47.040 you know, they never saw the wisdom of what Ronald 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.480 Reagan sought to accomplish and what he did for the 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.399 economy and how many jobs he created. And you know, 0:17:53.560 --> 0:18:00.000 bravely challenging garbage, mister Gorber, tear down this wall, or 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.879 are you know the things that were said in the 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:06.000 allegations made in Iran Contra, etcetera, etcetera. You know, it 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.919 matters to me more how do you treat people in life? 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.879 Not the things you're gonna say in debt. To me, 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.960 it's just phony. And now, you know, any of these 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.960 men that I'm talking about, John McCain, Bush forty one, 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:23.400 Ronald Reagan, even Mitt Romney is now headed to the Senate, 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:29.119 we're treated horribly. John McCain dies, the nicest thing said 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:34.120 by people, some of whom were like involved in destroying 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.400 this man's character. You know, the same with Reagan, same 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.600 with Bush forty one, same with Bush forty three, even 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.439 Mitt Romney. And it's just it's it's a phoniness that 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.520 they have that It just fries me a little bit 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.160 because it's you know, now they're doing it. Okay, Well 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.320 he was so nice, he was such a good guy. 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.080 That's not what they were saying back in the day. 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.320 Trust me. All right, a lot of news we're gonna 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.560 get to today. Oh boy, you're gonna be mad if 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.600 you have young kids, Santa Claus. So I'll probably have 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.160 to give a disclaimer coming up straight ahead, Sean Hannity Show. 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.760 Smoking is not about politics, It's about people. There are 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.960 thirty four million Americans that smoke.

Some news the President, meaning 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:35.440 President Trump is apparently expected to be at the rotunda 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:39.640 tonight in the Capitol as the casket lies in state 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:44.280 for the former president. We expect that to happen. I 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.840 have a really cool interview that I did with Bush 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.919 forty one and Bush forty three. I'm gonna air some 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.119 of this tonight on Hannity nine Eastern if you want 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.240 to hear it. I did have an opportunity to talk 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:59.760 on another occasion to George Herbert Walker Bush about his 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.480 on and this is a small part of it. It's 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.240 got to be harder to watch your son the president 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:10.080 than to be president. It is far worse when they 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:13.000 go after your son, and I would say unfairly a 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:14.840 lot of the time than when they used to when 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.880 I was in a cross crosshairs and we get condemned 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.480 and criticism, even when I thought it was unfair about me. 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:24.360 It hurts much more when it's your own son. Yeah, 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:27.040 and you might even close call, not even close, because 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.160 I think about my son, who was a lot younger 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.440 than yours, But I would think it's got to be 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:32.920 a lot harder and you may have to go through 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:34.960 this one more time. You know. I just thought that 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:39.560 other son of hers in Florida, he's good. He's oh God, 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:43.560 he's good. And they singled him out for two years 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:48.359 ago as the number one target for the Democratic Party nationally, 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:52.879 not just for governor or senate. How Terry mccauliffe, for 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.119 whom I don't well put it this way, not very 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:58.320 high on him who came and made this the number one, 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:03.199 number one one goal for the Democratic Party nationally and 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.320 Jeb won by fourteen points? Did they were? And the 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.200 Poles were a little closer go into that election and 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:13.080 he won by much ye to margin, And um, I 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.640 guess maybe did mister cullif a little unhappy about that? 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.280 You know, your son said something the other day that 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.719 really struck me. He really did want to go to 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:23.240 Washington and change the tone, something that he was able 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:26.640 to accomplish in Texas since he's been there. And I'm 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:29.760 not talking about the Michael Moore's or the pundits on TV. Yeah, 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.440 we'll get to him in a minute. Oh well, good, Harry. 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:37.440 Have you heard the leaders at the Democratic Party that shrill? 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:39.920 I've heard him shrill, and I've heard some of our 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:43.720 shrill in the past, but I've never felt the climate 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:48.000 like it is now, nor the shrillness of the political opposition. 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:53.439 It hurts. Well, yeah, you expect some of it. But 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.119 when when it's your son and they got him a liar, 0:22:56.320 --> 0:23:01.640 why when they impugne his motives, it hurts a lot. Yeah, 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:04.480 you think I feel strongly about it. Talk to Barbara 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:08.720 Bush because she just gets tells me not to watch 0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:10.960 and all of that, but I can't. I can't not watch. 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:13.919 You're engaged. I read recently that she won't read The 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.399 New York Times anymore, and she done tells you to 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.760 stop whining about it when you do read it. Yeah, well, 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.080 I still read about it, and I'm whining more and 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.800 much more publicly than I used to, because I think 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:30.119 they've gone too far. I think they are advocates for 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:34.560
