Speaker 1: entire trip in Israel. I mean we left on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: We arrived ten am local time, and didn't sleep a
Speaker 1: lot on the plane, and from the minute right Linda,
Speaker 1: we hit the ground. We went from ten am Israel
Speaker 1: time that night till two in the morning America time.
Speaker 1: Then we were up again at five thirty and like
Speaker 1: I got no sleep the next night, and then we
Speaker 1: had a full day on Friday. Even though I wasn't
Speaker 1: on radio, Friday had nothing to do with me. I
Speaker 1: was still working in different capacities. So um, it was
Speaker 1: a great trip, but I just didn't get a whole
Speaker 1: lot of sleep. And then I thought i'd sleep. I said,
Speaker 1: all right, well, I'm gonna go hang out with my
Speaker 1: friends on Saturday. We'll play golf. And I suck at golf,
Speaker 1: but I'll go anyway and I'll play, and then you know,
Speaker 1: we get a bite to eat. My friends, and I
Speaker 1: see you. My daughter says, a daddy, take me into
Speaker 1: my favorite restaurant and say, okay, I'll take your favorite restaurant.
Speaker 1: Then I'm him and crash and then all this other
Speaker 1: crap breaks out and I literally stay up all night
Speaker 1: Saturday night and all through Sunday. I just haven't been sleeping,
Speaker 1: although I did get a decent night's sleep last night
Speaker 1: thanks to my pillow. I'm back home and my pillow.
Speaker 1: Uh and it helps so much. Um. Before we get started,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on it. UM.
Speaker 1: I will be hitting this again tonight though on TV.
Speaker 1: I we have never in the history of the website,
Speaker 1: and the same I'm told with the Fox News website. Ever,
Speaker 1: we're like breaking records with last night's opening monologue. And
Speaker 1: I I just it has been beyond humbling to me
Speaker 1: how amazing you and this audience are and and the
Speaker 1: TV audience are. And I'm frankly blown away. I am.
Speaker 1: I'm so amazingly proud of my friends. You know, I
Speaker 1: got a buddy of mine, Don. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I should say it last Don, and Don is like
Speaker 1: the most mild man and neerd guy you'd ever want
Speaker 1: to meet. And last night somebody emailed me what he
Speaker 1: wrote about me on on Facebook. And he's just been
Speaker 1: a friend. We kind of raised our kids together in
Speaker 1: the in the tennis world. Great guy, just a good man,
Speaker 1: and you know, because a great job, very smart, fun guy.
Speaker 1: But he's he's kind of like the opposite. I'm loud
Speaker 1: and of a big mouth, and he's quiet and sophisticated
Speaker 1: and everything that I'm not. And but you know, I
Speaker 1: really love the guys like become one of my closest friends.
Speaker 1: He writes this incredible thing on Facebook. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's ever done anything politically his entire life. I mean,
Speaker 1: it just as amazing how kind people have been to me,
Speaker 1: you know, more importantly open minded. I'm not even asking
Speaker 1: for anything else. Just you know, we rushed to judgment
Speaker 1: against cops all the time. Think about all those cops
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, all found innocent, and even the President of
Speaker 1: the United States was attacking them. I think that George
Speaker 1: Zimmerman condemned by everybody. Or in the case of Ferguson, Missouri,
Speaker 1: in the case of the Cambridge police. You know, all
Speaker 1: these people, you know, we talk about him in the
Speaker 1: news all the time. But you know, I'm I've got
Speaker 1: broad shoulders. I've been in the media thirty years. It's
Speaker 1: not a big deal that the stupid false lying allegation
Speaker 1: against me. There wasn't a major network news program or network.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a There wasn't it was everywhere, every news site,
Speaker 1: every website, every radio station. I mean, it's insane the
Speaker 1: amount of coverage. I don't give a rip. I really don't,
Speaker 1: because in the a I know the truth and be
Speaker 1: I've been doing this. I I cannot dish it out
Speaker 1: four hours a day and not expect to get hit back.
Speaker 1: I fully expected, but I'm not taking lies, smear and
Speaker 1: slander anymore in my life. And I'm very lucky because
Speaker 1: I number one, I have a microphone thanks to all
Speaker 1: of you, and a and a TV camera in front
Speaker 1: of me. And the means financially, none of this is cheap.
Speaker 1: To hire the best legal team, three of the best
Speaker 1: lawyers in the United States. If I told you how
Speaker 1: many Supreme Court cases among them, you would die. And
Speaker 1: on top of that, you know, we've got investigators, you know,
Speaker 1: the finest from Israel that have spent their entire life
Speaker 1: doing this sort of thing. And why because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be perfectly blunt here. You know, after all the the
Speaker 1: news and everything that's happened, and the firings that occurred
Speaker 1: in the boycotts that work, you gotta understand this person
Speaker 1: that has been lying about me for well over a decade,
Speaker 1: and we have debunked all of these lies and for
Speaker 1: the world to see. Let me tell you, this was
Speaker 1: a kill shot. This was the crosshairs of my forehead
Speaker 1: and right over my heart to take me out. And
Speaker 1: the Left was all too ready and willing to jump
Speaker 1: on this bandwagon if they could have, and if I
Speaker 1: did have the means and the team behind me to
Speaker 1: get out in front of this and tell the truth.
Speaker 1: This is what they wanted. They want They want this
Speaker 1: voice of ours and it's not about Sean Hannity. They
Speaker 1: want rush let me name them, Mark, Glenn, Laura, all
Speaker 1: of us local hosts, all of you gone. They want
Speaker 1: the Fox News Channel, the only news organization in the
Speaker 1: country that gives Donald Trump affair shot. They wanted done
Speaker 1: and if anything, they wanted to be a watered down,
Speaker 1: ineffective version of like CNN. That's what they want. This
Speaker 1: isn't a game. This is the high stakes poker here,
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be winners and losers in this. And
Speaker 1: I just refused to go down without fighting for my
Speaker 1: voice and your voice to be heard on a daily
Speaker 1: basis to counter a monolithic narrative in the news media
Speaker 1: that is, you know, you know what they do, you
Speaker 1: know what they really want. I won't tell you who.
Speaker 1: When Donald Trump won, I sent it. I sent a
Speaker 1: text message to a couple of people and I said,
Speaker 1: you need to know what you're walking into. You are
Speaker 1: walking into a snake pit, both in Washington and within
Speaker 1: the media and liberal leftists, intolerant left minefield that you
Speaker 1: have no idea what you're about to deal with. It
Speaker 1: makes corporate America look like kindergarten. And I said, their
Speaker 1: ultimate goal is to take down this president, to delegitimize him,
Speaker 1: to make him fail, to impeach him. If they can
Speaker 1: put him in handcuffs, perp walk him, mug shoot him,
Speaker 1: and and put him in jail for the rest of
Speaker 1: their life. And I said, on their way up the ladder,
Speaker 1: they're gonna they they want as much collateral damage, meaning
Speaker 1: the left, as they can possibly have. And then I
Speaker 1: went on to tell these people. Dot every eye, cross
Speaker 1: every t follow every ethics law. Get your own attorney,
Speaker 1: which basically means you hire an attorney at full time.
Speaker 1: You're not getting paid, then you're you're donating your time
Speaker 1: to Washington because whatever you're gonna pay your attorney. Attorneys
Speaker 1: are pretty expensive. It's gonna offset whatever your salary happens
Speaker 1: to be, which means then you're working pro bono. And
Speaker 1: I said, you better do it because this threat is
Speaker 1: a real, clear and present danger. Now you may think
Speaker 1: I'm paranoid. You don't think making that type of salacious
Speaker 1: allegation against in light of the environment that is out
Speaker 1: there today, just days after Bill O'Reilly got fired, wasn't
Speaker 1: by design as a kill shot to my head and
Speaker 1: my heart with crosshairs all over me. Oh? It absolutely.
Speaker 1: It was designed to take me out. It was designed
Speaker 1: to take me down. Linda, you disagree with any of this.
Speaker 1: The most amazing part of this process, I didn'tn't plan
Speaker 1: on talking about it, but here I am the most
Speaker 1: amazing part of this whole process has been you in
Speaker 1: this audience and friends. You know. The hardest thing was
Speaker 1: I gotta I got a text from my son yesterday
Speaker 1: and my son doesn't follow the news. He does, doesn't
Speaker 1: he follows. If you hear his phone buzzing, it's not
Speaker 1: because there's a news alert. It's because there's something happened
Speaker 1: in the sports world. That's it. That's all he cares about. Now.
Speaker 1: If I ask him, Hey, Patrick, can you send me
Speaker 1: some brackets? People want me to be in the bracket thing, boom,
Speaker 1: It's over in thirty seconds, Pat, did you see my
Speaker 1: show last night's Silence? I'm not gonna say a word,
Speaker 1: which is, by the way, is the way I was.
Speaker 1: Frankly at his a I cared about sports altho. I
Speaker 1: started developing a love of politics around his age, and
Speaker 1: uh and I'm perfectly content with that. But when you're own,
Speaker 1: se write you my niece Cassie, you know, text me
Speaker 1: I love you, Uncle Sean. That's all she wrote me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I gotta now stop what I'm
Speaker 1: doing and call her because that means she's upset. And
Speaker 1: you know, like those people. You know, it's funny because
Speaker 1: I'm so used to it. It's just I don't you know.
Speaker 1: Everybody's saying, are you okay? I'm like, uh, yeah, I've
Speaker 1: had this for thirty years in some way shape matter
Speaker 1: for him, just not this intense. It was never I
Speaker 1: never felt like it was a kill shot. This was
Speaker 1: a kill shot. The environment now is a kill shot.
Speaker 1: And when I say kill shot, I mean take me
Speaker 1: out of my career, Silence my voice, get me off
Speaker 1: of Fox, kill the Fox News channel off, if not totally,
Speaker 1: to to so water it down that it has no
Speaker 1: effectiveness at all. Is the only fair voice against Trump?
Speaker 1: You know, to her talk radio through these ridiculous boycotts.
Speaker 1: I called it what it is last night. It's liberal fascism.
Speaker 1: What's liberal fascism? Organized orchestrated efforts to silence voices political
Speaker 1: opposition that you don't agree with. That's a simple definition
Speaker 1: of it. Um. I don't support boycott's for that very reason.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I honestly, look, I want everybody in
Speaker 1: the country to watch my TV show. I wish I
Speaker 1: could make everybody in the country, you know, turn off
Speaker 1: your music. Now. Every radio station in America was carrying
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. Okay, but there are choices and
Speaker 1: options in life. It's perfectly fine with me if you
Speaker 1: choose to watch a liberal host. Don Lemon is a
Speaker 1: nice guy. Met him the other night and kind of night.
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. Not many problem with him being
Speaker 1: on the air. Laurence o'donald met him. He's a nice
Speaker 1: you know, nice in person. He's crazy on the air,
Speaker 1: but nice guy in person. I'm not no personal issues
Speaker 1: with these people. I am told that I'm going to
Speaker 1: name name soon. The day after O'Reilly's firing, there was
Speaker 1: a meeting out in Hollywood, prominent, prominent, prominent, Holly would
Speaker 1: activist names, and my name was mentioned in this meeting.
Speaker 1: I'm told Hannity's next, then we'll get Tucker, and then
Speaker 1: we'll go after Rush and talk radio. This is not
Speaker 1: a game anymore. So the most amazing part of this
Speaker 1: for me is listen from my standpoint, I can go
Speaker 1: away tomorrow, and I'm I promise you I will be fine.
Speaker 1: I won't agonize over it, wouldn't be happy over it
Speaker 1: because I love what I do. But the country is
Speaker 1: not gonna be fine if they can do this to
Speaker 1: conservative voices. If liberals were really pure and intellectually honest,
Speaker 1: they would be coming to my defense right now and
Speaker 1: saying what happened here is a grave injustice. They would
Speaker 1: be speaking out against these orchestrated boycotts. They would be
Speaker 1: telling their liberal friends that that pay people to sit
Speaker 1: their underwear and monitor every conservative radio show in every
Speaker 1: hour of the Fox News channel. They would be saying, stop,
Speaker 1: it's let people decide, let's have vigorous dialogue and debate
Speaker 1: in the country. But they're not. They're hypocritical. You and
Speaker 1: this audience that showed at the least a willingness to
Speaker 1: hear the facts, to give me the benefit of the doubt,
Speaker 1: to accept my innocence until proven innocent or proven guilty.
Speaker 1: Is is beyond anything I could have asked. Your phone calls,
Speaker 1: your notes, your text your tweets, your Instagrams, your facebooks.
Speaker 1: It's all moved me beyond words. But I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you what it's done. More than anything, it has given
Speaker 1: me fight and resolve. I will spend any amount of
Speaker 1: money I am going to take on anybody that smears
Speaker 1: Slanders lies. I Am not going down without the biggest
Speaker 1: fight you have ever seen, and I will pay. I
Speaker 1: will pay whatever it takes to make that happen, because
Speaker 1: all of us and the entire countries platform of freedom
Speaker 1: of speech will be rendered meaningless if we lose one.
Speaker 1: Shawn is a number, all right, We got so much
Speaker 1: to get to. Wow, China now threatening North Korea if
Speaker 1: they do a nuclear test, will get to all the
Speaker 1: security issues. Trump responds to Putin's bombers with F thirty
Speaker 1: five fighters, the latest on the budget, the latest on healthcare,
Speaker 1: the border wall, Trump's hundred days. That's all coming up
Speaker 1: at the at the bottom of the hour. And how
Speaker 1: weak the GLP House and Senator. You know what, Linda
Speaker 1: does make a good point, and uh, and that is
Speaker 1: that you're right. If if all everybody in the media
Speaker 1: that covered this story, every person and you're you're like
Speaker 1: living about this, all they needed to do with this
Speaker 1: was a simple basic Google search and they would have
Speaker 1: found out this individual had a history of over a
Speaker 1: decade lying about me, and then they wouldn't have run
Speaker 1: the story, would they. That's how lazy. What do I
Speaker 1: always say about them? Their lazy, their agenda driven, their
Speaker 1: ideological and they're all fat and overpaid. They're not fat,
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, why are you laughing?
Speaker 1: You mean fat cats? Yeah? Like the fat cats. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I meant exactly. Um No, but you're right,
Speaker 1: that's all they needed to do not one. And by
Speaker 1: the way, guess how many of these people called me
Speaker 1: not well? The New York Times reached out to the
Speaker 1: Fox PR people, the Daily Some Daily Something Beast or
Speaker 1: Male Daily whatever. They reached out to Fox PR. A
Speaker 1: couple of others did too. Media. I absolutely reached out.
Speaker 1: I know that, uh so they can get the facts.
Speaker 1: But it's such a good point. And I think what
Speaker 1: we saw was we exchanged integrity for a headline. Nobody cared.
Speaker 1: Nobody cared about I mean I I just said to
Speaker 1: Ethan into Lauren, I was like, I would not put
Speaker 1: something on even a guest sheet that stays internal if
Speaker 1: I had not fact checked it and researched. Well, that's
Speaker 1: your obsessed. I mean it is. And then listen, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people and occasionally you've got one or
Speaker 1: two things wrong, and when you it devastates you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel horrible. Apologized to me for four for four
Speaker 1: days after all have to do, and I'm like, shut up,
Speaker 1: I don't even care the first so gracious about it. Yet, Well,
Speaker 1: if I'm letting you off the hook, I'm being gracious,
Speaker 1: but you don't think about this man. They went for
Speaker 1: the headline. Absolutely, it was all about the headline. It
Speaker 1: was I think it's it's it was all about drowning
Speaker 1: you and not getting the truth. And I hope that
Speaker 1: we can extend them the same courtesy if that happened.
Speaker 1: Are right exactly, Well, anyway, we'll take a break. We'll
Speaker 1: get to the real issues when we get back. Eight.
Speaker 1: When Shaun was a number, Daniel Harrowitz Ran Paul and
Speaker 1: Katie Hopkins coming up today. So you would do your
Speaker 1: best to hold the seat up. Absolutely, we are the
Speaker 1: Party of the and that is our job. It gets
Speaker 1: to a point where they're just not doing their job.
Speaker 1: I did not hear better ideas coming out of the Democrats, right,
Speaker 1: They were just delaying and they were saying this is
Speaker 1: just wrong. You would not sit down with President elect
Speaker 1: Trump if if, if he invited you to the White House,
Speaker 1: Oh no, I will go. I'm not gonna sit down
Speaker 1: with him. I'm not gonna go. Each new president coming
Speaker 1: into office was allowed to get his cabinet in place.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump deserves the same. The Party of Pelosi is
Speaker 1: trying to block every initiative. President Trump wants the institute.
Speaker 1: But will that backfire? And could you work with with
Speaker 1: the President Trump. First of all, we're not going with
Speaker 1: anybody says we're going to repeal the Affordable Care Act
Speaker 1: For eight years, you guys had a plan. You kept
Speaker 1: saying and promising you will appeal replaced Obamacare. And I
Speaker 1: guess what people want to know is when of these
Speaker 1: things going to get done. We're exactly on the timeline
Speaker 1: that we designed for ourselves. Obamacare is coming next. Our
Speaker 1: bill is coming in March. First, it's regulatory reform because
Speaker 1: we had this window of time to cancel at Obama regulations.
Speaker 1: Then we're doing Obamacare after we're done with Obamacare. Then
Speaker 1: we're doing our budget, and our budget is what the
Speaker 1: second budget, which will be tax reform. So we're doing
Speaker 1: two budgets in one year, which has never been done before.
Speaker 1: This is faster than it's ever been done before. When
Speaker 1: I heard Repair, my head nearly explode. That's not the plan.
Speaker 1: The plan is to repeal and replace this law. Like
Speaker 1: we said, we ran on a plan to repeal and
Speaker 1: replace it. Tom Price helped write that plan. He is
Speaker 1: now Donald Trump's Secretary of It is a consensus plan
Speaker 1: that's now being scored by the CBO. Correct you're saying
Speaker 1: to the American people and conservatives that are impatient, including myself.
Speaker 1: You agree with every item I mentioned, even extreme vetting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we passed that bill a year ago in the House.
Speaker 1: I know. Don't you now agree with building the wall? Yes?
Speaker 1: Are you telling the American people vetting refugees, building the wall, Repeal, replaced,
Speaker 1: tax reform. All of this is going to be done
Speaker 1: in two Inside the two hundred day window. Is the
Speaker 1: regulatory reforms we talked about. It's the repeal and replace Obamacare.
Speaker 1: It's the budget, it's rebuilding of our military, it's tax reform.
Speaker 1: Those are the things that we're working on. Any infrastructure,
Speaker 1: those are the things we're working on in this two
Speaker 1: hundred counts in the equation because that's in their edge. Well,
Speaker 1: we we see that as part of regulatory reform. But
Speaker 1: it's two hundred days. That's you think that duels? Is
Speaker 1: our plan? Yeah, And if and if there's any slippers,
Speaker 1: we'll finish it in the fall and get it done
Speaker 1: before the end of the year. So if I come
Speaker 1: back in two hundred days, you're gonna you're gonna go, well,
Speaker 1: I made a promise, We've got it. Well, because I
Speaker 1: think this is so here's what I'm saying. We've we've
Speaker 1: met this out for two hundred days. We have a
Speaker 1: plan to do that. We're on schedule. But if if
Speaker 1: anything slips, because it'll be a such Supreme Court justice, yeah,
Speaker 1: or or a filibuster on a cabinet nominee, that might
Speaker 1: slip us. But we're making sure that we do all
Speaker 1: of this in Okay, let's go to the budget, which
Speaker 1: is such a big issue. The president seven brackets to
Speaker 1: three corporate rate. I know you prefer twenty because that
Speaker 1: spores scores. Yeah, I have to get what we can
Speaker 1: with the with the number, and you support repatriation multinational corporations.
Speaker 1: That will be huge for that's a lot of money
Speaker 1: that can come back into the economy, about three trillion dollars.
Speaker 1: Here's my headline of this interview that you're in pretty
Speaker 1: much full agreement with with what Donald Trump ran on
Speaker 1: and number two, in two hundred days from the legislative side,
Speaker 1: you are going to be implementing every aspect of that
Speaker 1: agenda that we talked about. And just as a big headline,
Speaker 1: we have and we have cushion in our schedule if
Speaker 1: if anything slips, because it's really because the Senate issues.
Speaker 1: We still have time to accommodate all of this stuff
Speaker 1: in tweens. I have cushions built in the schedule to
Speaker 1: make sure this all gets done in twenty in case
Speaker 1: something happens and go sideways on the Senate. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure that will stimulate the economy, get people back to work,
Speaker 1: and get the economy movement again, which I think we
Speaker 1: need what we're hired to do. All right, you can
Speaker 1: see it two in a days alright, twenty three down
Speaker 1: till the top of the hour. U. Now, that was
Speaker 1: my interview with Paul Ryan. Now. The first thing the
Speaker 1: Republican National Committee. But yeah, they're obstructured us. But all
Speaker 1: of this is very frustrating, and it goes back to
Speaker 1: the whole Oh amicare repeal replaced the shoe that I
Speaker 1: am so frustrated about. And we'll check in at the
Speaker 1: top of the next hour, Ram Paul, he's frustrated to.
Speaker 1: I'll start with Americans view of Congress now and how
Speaker 1: Speaker Paul Ryan Wall Street Journal NBC News poll finds,
Speaker 1: you know, three quarters of the American people disapprove of
Speaker 1: Congress's john performance. They've earned this rating that's up twelve points.
Speaker 1: By the way, since February, just one fifth said they
Speaker 1: approve of the job that Congress is doing. That's a
Speaker 1: nine dromp. Now why did Why are people happier with Trump?
Speaker 1: Night of people the voted for Trump are happy, we
Speaker 1: vote for him again. Trump would win the popular vote
Speaker 1: by bye, you know, four percentage points or whatever. He'd
Speaker 1: win the popular vote four million votes at the poll
Speaker 1: came out yesterday. He's doing fine because Trump is getting
Speaker 1: everything done on his own. He's not getting the help
Speaker 1: of Congress. The fact that they were ill prepared, didn't
Speaker 1: have a consensus bill, hid the healthcare bill, never brought
Speaker 1: the the varying factions and coalitions of the Republican Party
Speaker 1: in the House together, the Moderate Faction, the Tuesday Group
Speaker 1: and the Study Group, and the Freedom Caucus and the
Speaker 1: you know, let's go out and get wasted on Saturday
Speaker 1: night group and and let's have swinging parties on Sunday
Speaker 1: night group and these groups are ridiculous. But anyway, but
Speaker 1: they never led and brought the coalitions together. Now I'm
Speaker 1: told that the bill is done, as they've come to
Speaker 1: an agreement on waivers, and that basically all the heavy
Speaker 1: lifting was done by Mark Meadows and it still isn't
Speaker 1: being voted on all those as a rumor they might
Speaker 1: do it Thursday. But Trump kept his promises. This is
Speaker 1: Trump's hundred days that the media won't focus on. He
Speaker 1: brought one of the originalists on his Supreme Court list,
Speaker 1: Neil Gorse. It's that's not small. That is huge. That
Speaker 1: alone gets him an A plus because that will impact
Speaker 1: this country for generations. They didn't keep that promise. That
Speaker 1: would be a problem. You know, he's gotten. Imagine a
Speaker 1: president working the phones to keep Fiat Chrysler and and
Speaker 1: I can't even a Ford and GM and Carrier. I mean,
Speaker 1: the list is so long, and all these companies now
Speaker 1: we'll invest to We're gonna invest this billion dollars and
Speaker 1: that billion dollars and won't create that many million jobs.
Speaker 1: He ended the war on Cole. He's a limited eliminated
Speaker 1: so many Obama era regulations that were stifling business, reduced
Speaker 1: illegal immigration by nearly two thirds because he's enforcing the law.
Speaker 1: He's pushing so hard against sanctuary cities. He is drafted
Speaker 1: a plan to defeat Isis showed he's not afraid to
Speaker 1: go forward with military action as we saw when he
Speaker 1: responded to serious use of chemical weapons, put a five
Speaker 1: year lobbying ban in place, to drain the swamp, sanctioned
Speaker 1: to ran over the missile program, created a task force
Speaker 1: to reduce crime, executive orders to protect police officers and
Speaker 1: drug cartels. Then the eecutive orders on the Keystone Excel
Speaker 1: and Dakota pipelines. And you know, his buy American Higher
Speaker 1: American executive order, renegotiating all these outdated trade deals. You know,
Speaker 1: border crossing rates are the lowest and seventeen years just
Speaker 1: by enforcing the law. You know, think of the sanctions
Speaker 1: on Syria, on on Iran, think of the message, think
Speaker 1: of the mother of all bombs that killed a hundred
Speaker 1: ISIS fighters in Afghanistan. You know. And in the processes
Speaker 1: now they're designing the border wall. I know, there's a lot.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second. And he's trying
Speaker 1: extreme vetting. He's being stopped by the courts, but he's
Speaker 1: tried it twice. He he will sign the bill, whatever
Speaker 1: bill finally comes out of repealing replacing Obamacare, the House, Senate,
Speaker 1: and Conference. He's really building the Military's trying to cut
Speaker 1: government spending, cut back on the government workforce and shrink that.
Speaker 1: And he's made the country. I'll put the country out
Speaker 1: of path energy independence. That is not He's kept all
Speaker 1: his pro life promises, defunding Planned Parenthood. Now, as as
Speaker 1: Byron York, I think it was Byron York. Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: hundred days and Executive six a huge executive success. But
Speaker 1: the problem is Congress. The problem is they're they're they're
Speaker 1: slow and pathetic and weak. I mean, when they were
Speaker 1: out of power, Obama as the president, it would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: Obama just has to say, well, we're gonna blame you
Speaker 1: for a government shutdown, and they would bubble and fizz
Speaker 1: like Alca saltzer and water and they'd get nothing done.
Speaker 1: It would paralyze them. Now that they're in power, they're
Speaker 1: still paralyzed by this. It's all you can't win with
Speaker 1: these people, you know. And then Schumer and Pelosia whining
Speaker 1: that Trump is getting his way in budget negotiations. Now, meanwhile,
Speaker 1: there is a lot of criticism of the the president
Speaker 1: because the President was willing to take off the beginning
Speaker 1: of the funding for the border wall as it relates
Speaker 1: to the continuing resolution, because we do face a real
Speaker 1: government shutdown, and he didn't want to be blamed. But
Speaker 1: he says, make no mistake, don't let fake media tell
Speaker 1: you have changed my position on the wall. It will
Speaker 1: get built and help stop drugs human trafficking. And based
Speaker 1: on his track record of keeping all the other promises,
Speaker 1: he deserves the benefit of the doubt. And there'll be
Speaker 1: plenty of opportunities to do it. A matter of fact,
Speaker 1: Secretary how Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, and Attorney General
Speaker 1: Sessions both said that they plan to begin construction at
Speaker 1: the end of summer. Even Schumer said that he will
Speaker 1: debate the border wall. Oh, how gracious of Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing Democrats are ever gonna support that Trump
Speaker 1: does anyway. So Trump showed flexibility thereby you still got
Speaker 1: bannoned and you've got Attorney General Sessions and they're on
Speaker 1: the right page as it relates to the border wall. Um,
Speaker 1: he got Texas Democrats staging on hunger strike. Well, I
Speaker 1: remember when we had Al Sharpton on my TV show
Speaker 1: at the day was in the middle of a hunger strike,
Speaker 1: and then he admitted he drinks soup all day. I
Speaker 1: think that's not a hunger strike. Hunger strike means nothing
Speaker 1: goes in and nothing comes out because there's nothing in.
Speaker 1: And so I thought it was pretty funny. But they
Speaker 1: didn't get the healthcare bill done. They don't deserve until
Speaker 1: they do. This is what they get. By the way,
Speaker 1: we have Mark Meadows, he gave the president an a
Speaker 1: for his first hundred days in office, and he talked
Speaker 1: about I think he's accomplished a lot more than what
Speaker 1: people in the media allege. He's right to me, He's
Speaker 1: never gonna give this president a fair shot. I'm never
Speaker 1: gonna give any conservative fair shot. A matter of fact,
Speaker 1: they want to shut down all conservatives from speaking apparently anyway.
Speaker 1: Talked about the Congressional Review Acts that would undo significant
Speaker 1: regulatory schemes, historic level of being able to repeal actual
Speaker 1: rules that affect jobs, you know, especially farming and mining
Speaker 1: and energy, et cetera. And then he said he put
Speaker 1: America for a strong national security emphasis. You know, look
Speaker 1: at the news today. Trump responds to Putin's bombers with
Speaker 1: F thirty five fighters. F thirty five fighters. Good for him.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about something that nobody anticipated when
Speaker 1: Trump became president, is emerging relationship with China. You might say, well,
Speaker 1: it's the communist Chinese you can't trust, and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying to trust him. I don't trust Puttin either, but
Speaker 1: it's better to get along with people if you can. Well,
Speaker 1: now we have the UK Daily Express. China has apparently
Speaker 1: lost such patients with North Korea. They're now warning Kim
Speaker 1: Jong un that another nuclear weapons test will push relations
Speaker 1: beyond the point of no return. Remember this, the president
Speaker 1: of China comes back from meeting Trump and puts hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy five thousand troops on the border, sends back
Speaker 1: shipment saccol to North Korea, and imports American call and
Speaker 1: then said he's open to new trade agreements anyway. In
Speaker 1: an editorial piece in the Global Times, it's regarded widely
Speaker 1: as a mouthpiece for the Communist Party in China. The
Speaker 1: game of chicken between Washington and pyong Yang has now
Speaker 1: come to a breaking point, adding that if North Korea
Speaker 1: conducted another nuclear missile test, it is more likely than
Speaker 1: ever the situation that will cross the point in no return. Then,
Speaker 1: the piece continued, all stakeholders will bear the consequences, with
Speaker 1: pyong Yang shortest suffer the greatest losses. That's huge that's China.
Speaker 1: Say to North Korea, and they have the most influence
Speaker 1: over anybody. Knock it off or you're gonna get hit.
Speaker 1: That's very interesting. On top of the Iranian sanctions, Trump
Speaker 1: just unloaded a block of two and seventy one sanctions
Speaker 1: against Bashi al Assad of Syria for their chemical weapons attack.
Speaker 1: That's America leading from the front, not from behind. And
Speaker 1: those are not the things that Trump is going to
Speaker 1: get the most credit for. You've got stories on the
Speaker 1: economy that corporate earnings now surged through the roof. You
Speaker 1: got the NASDAC hitting an all time record high. You
Speaker 1: got Trump now moving forward to get his fifteen cent
Speaker 1: corporate tax rate and ten percent repatriation rate and the
Speaker 1: middle class income tax caught for everybody. But by the way,
Speaker 1: you notice how Hillary Democrats they always get off the hook.
Speaker 1: Clinton's the Clinton server scandal, the Clinton found a no
Speaker 1: but now they're going after the GOP. It's likewise said,
Speaker 1: Republicans need to get rid of the filibuster, the bird role,
Speaker 1: and cloture because they played by one set of rules
Speaker 1: which allows Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonya Soda mayor and
Speaker 1: every liberal you can ever imagine activist justice on the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. But then Chuck Schumer and company won't even
Speaker 1: give an up or down vote for a Republican or
Speaker 1: is there any reciprocity whatsoever? Somebody, we'll get rid of
Speaker 1: it and stop playing a game. But they'll go after Now.
Speaker 1: I see that the the White Houses is rejecting the
Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee's request for documents on general they want
Speaker 1: to put Flynn and jail. It sounds like we'll put
Speaker 1: Hillary in jail if we're gonna go down this road anyway.
Speaker 1: One Shawn is a toe free telephone number. Anyway, So
Speaker 1: Trump is temporarily I'm not worried about some of you.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not, but we'll have to wait and see
Speaker 1: trust and verify. But I think Trump. I think Trump's
Speaker 1: history of keeping his promises are actually pretty good, and
Speaker 1: his percentage is pretty good. All Right, we got Rampaul
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. My buddy Daniel Harrowitz
Speaker 1: coming up. What do you meet Katie Hopkins of the
Speaker 1: Daily Mail. You're gonna love her. She's like the Camille

Speaker 1: Will this get done? Funding of government. Yes, it will.
Speaker 1: We'll continue to fund government, move forward and will continue
Speaker 1: to move forward on the priorities of job creation, border security,
Speaker 1: and others. And remember Bill, since President Trump has taken
Speaker 1: off this from his actions alone, illegal boarding crossings have
Speaker 1: dropped some within almost sev Now, we've got to make
Speaker 1: sure we secure the border all the way, and that's
Speaker 1: what we're continuing. So you're saying no shutdown of the
Speaker 1: government this week. A shutdown is not productive in any
Speaker 1: shape or form. There's no need for US shutdown. We
Speaker 1: will not shut down the government, will continue to fund
Speaker 1: the government. The shutdown communication and talk is all prefaced
Speaker 1: by Democrats. That's what they want to have happened. That's
Speaker 1: what their movement is trying to do. When you talk
Speaker 1: to members around here, they say shutdown would be great
Speaker 1: because they'll blame it on the Republicans. Alright, our to
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity show, right down a toll free telephone number.
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program, eight
Speaker 1: one Sean. So I don't understand. So when the Republicans,
Speaker 1: when Democrats are in power and Obama is the president,
Speaker 1: all Obama had to do is threaten a government shutdown
Speaker 1: and Republicans would would bubble and fizz like Alca sultz
Speaker 1: Are and water and cave and fear. The worst thing
Speaker 1: could happen is a government shutdown because they're gonna get
Speaker 1: blamed for it. They're the opposition party. Well, now they
Speaker 1: have the House and the Senate and the White House
Speaker 1: and Democrats again, all they have to do is threatened
Speaker 1: the government shutdown, and Republicans bubble and fizz like out
Speaker 1: the Seltzer in water and even on issues involving the
Speaker 1: beginning of the funding of the wall, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: I trust President Trump. He's so far has been pretty
Speaker 1: good to keep it. Most of his promises those at
Speaker 1: least that he doesn't need Congresses help on that he's
Speaker 1: gonna build the wall. I think if he doesn't build
Speaker 1: the wall, it's the equivalent of read my lips, no
Speaker 1: new taxes, and he would pay a very heavy political price. Anyway,
Speaker 1: what's going on over there? We have Rand Paula's with us,
Speaker 1: the great Senator from the great state of Kentucky. How
Speaker 1: are you, my friend, Very good, Sean. I think you've
Speaker 1: got it exactly right. Uh. You know, the Republicans tend
Speaker 1: to fold like cheap suits when they're not in power,
Speaker 1: and then when they're in power they do the same thing.
Speaker 1: If it were just a parlor game and the Democrats
Speaker 1: were like, well, yeah, we're gonna blame you guys, and
Speaker 1: that would be funny. But it's real life and it's
Speaker 1: a tragedy. Republicans fold every time, and they assume they
Speaker 1: will be blamed for any shutdown, whether they're in power
Speaker 1: or out of power. And so I asked the question,
Speaker 1: which is worse, you know, is it worse to keep
Speaker 1: government open that borrows a million dollars a minute, or
Speaker 1: should we not try to reform government in exchange for
Speaker 1: keeping it open. I'm of the mind that the only
Speaker 1: way I'll vote for additional spending is if it is
Speaker 1: accompanied by reforms that would mean either a balanced budget
Speaker 1: amendment or a budget that actually is leading towards balance.
Speaker 1: But I'm just not voting for a continuation of the
Speaker 1: status quo up here. So, in other words, the the
Speaker 1: cr um, I don't care. I'm not as worked up
Speaker 1: over the border wall funding issue now because we still
Speaker 1: got to build the plans, and and Homeland Security Secretary
Speaker 1: Kelly and Attorney General Sessions, they made me pretty confident
Speaker 1: they're gonna follow through. But I gotta be honest. I mean,
Speaker 1: a senator, eight years Republicans or if you replaced Obamacare? No, seriously.
Speaker 1: And then and then they get the House. In the Senate,
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz was supposed to prevent them from winning, because
Speaker 1: God forbid, poor Ted Cruz stood up for constantitutional principles.
Speaker 1: You helped them that night. And and then we get
Speaker 1: the Senate, even though it was predicted we lose all
Speaker 1: because of Ted Cruz, and you and Rubio and Mike
Speaker 1: Lee end up getting the Senate. Then Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: not supported by a majority of these idiots in the
Speaker 1: Republican Party. He's now the president and he's moving as
Speaker 1: quickly as he can on the things that he can
Speaker 1: do alone. And these guys weren't even ready with a plan,
Speaker 1: a consensus bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. What is
Speaker 1: wrong with these people? We voted sixty times, We voted
Speaker 1: sixty times, sixty times. Those are show votes, Senator, they
Speaker 1: weren't real votes. Yeah, but then when we finally have
Speaker 1: the power to repeal it, we pull back and we
Speaker 1: don't repeal it. I am you can't. I cannot tell
Speaker 1: you how bothered. I am by the fact that there's
Speaker 1: going to be taxpayer money given to insurance companies. That's
Speaker 1: what Obamacare did, and the Republicans are going to continue
Speaker 1: giving taxpayer money to insurance companies. The insurance company's profit
Speaker 1: was six billion before Obamacare. It's fifteen billion now. I
Speaker 1: do not shed tears for the insurance industry. I'm all
Speaker 1: for capitalism, but I don't like capitalists who come to
Speaker 1: Washington with their hands out beseeching us, saying, Oh, we're
Speaker 1: not making enough money, and how much progress did you make?
Speaker 1: I know you want golf? Did I didn't even know
Speaker 1: you played golfing any good? You know, Sean? I got
Speaker 1: to pick up the phone and call me, and when
Speaker 1: you'll find out real quick. So that means very good
Speaker 1: golf man. Now I'm I'm I'm pretty average, but I
Speaker 1: enjoy playing. The President is better golfer than I am.
Speaker 1: And uh, is it true that he hits the ball
Speaker 1: a ton? Is that true? Um? I would say that
Speaker 1: he's very accurate. He's not only in the fairway, but
Speaker 1: he's also a very good putter. He made about a
Speaker 1: forty foot put for par on one of the holes
Speaker 1: I saw him ship up and get down in one
Speaker 1: put several times. What does he what does his handicap?
Speaker 1: You know? What did he what did hate to tell something?
Speaker 1: I'm not positive. What did he shoot the day you
Speaker 1: played with him? Well, we played match play and I
Speaker 1: would have guests he probably would have shot high seventies,
Speaker 1: low eighties. Uh. We were even track of teams. He
Speaker 1: and I were together, and I told him that if
Speaker 1: our team won, I would vote, you know, for the
Speaker 1: health care plan, but if I want, he'd have to
Speaker 1: vote for my plan. And we tied in the end,
Speaker 1: So I guess that's why we're still discussing it. Well,
Speaker 1: did you make progresses? You? You were very I thought
Speaker 1: very Um, you know you you felt good about the
Speaker 1: time you spent with them. And what's the follow up? Then? Well,
Speaker 1: you know mcmulvaney played with us also, and he's the
Speaker 1: budget director. He was in the house. He's a good
Speaker 1: friend of mine and also somebody who I think is
Speaker 1: very much a deficit hawk. He's one of the good guys,
Speaker 1: and he's a President Trump's budget director, which should give
Speaker 1: a lot of conservatives, you know, great solace that you
Speaker 1: know President Trump has picked good, solid conservatives in these positions.
Speaker 1: So I talked about a lot of it with the
Speaker 1: President as well as mcmulvaney, and I think we are
Speaker 1: making progress. But I guess one of the things that
Speaker 1: still bothers me is that all of the plans, because
Speaker 1: this is why Paul Ryan started at, all of the
Speaker 1: plans have taxpayer money going to insurance companies, said direct
Speaker 1: faucett from the taxpayer, from the treasury to insurance companies.
Speaker 1: And I don't. I just know some of that fadeaway
Speaker 1: over time, as I understood it at one point that
Speaker 1: was being discussed. Here's the thing is they're saying that
Speaker 1: if people get really sick, the insurance companies can't handle that,
Speaker 1: and the insurance companies lose money. But it's a little
Speaker 1: bit deceitful because the insurance companies made fifteen billion dollars
Speaker 1: in profit last year. What they do is they segregate
Speaker 1: their gains in the group insurance from their losses in
Speaker 1: the individual market. But they're really one company. It's their
Speaker 1: profit loss altogether that should matter. And the point I
Speaker 1: make to people is if your house is on fire,
Speaker 1: do you start looking around for homeowners insurance or would
Speaker 1: you rather have a fireman it's the same way if
Speaker 1: you're sick. I think, if you're really sick and you
Speaker 1: have million dollar bills every year and you don't have insurance,
Speaker 1: I don't think I would buy you insurance by the taxpayer,
Speaker 1: but I might buy you health care. So the thing is,
Speaker 1: if there are people in our society who are really,
Speaker 1: really sick and really really expensive to take care of,
Speaker 1: it makes absolutely and utterly no sense to buy them insurance.
Speaker 1: If we're going to help them, and the taxpayer is
Speaker 1: gonna do it, we should buy them health care, not
Speaker 1: health insurance. I object to giving more profit to the
Speaker 1: insurance companies from the taxpayers, from the treasury, and I
Speaker 1: just can't imagine that. I can't understand why Republicans decided
Speaker 1: to make that instead of repealing Obamacare, we put in
Speaker 1: a big taxpayer subsidy for the insurance companies. Where are you?
Speaker 1: I know that that mark meadows. And it really is
Speaker 1: unfortunate that the leadership didn't lead in this instance on healthcare,
Speaker 1: that nobody saw the bill. They hit it from everybody.
Speaker 1: They didn't build consensus with the varying coalitions in the
Speaker 1: in the House, meaning the Moderates and the Freedom Group
Speaker 1: and the Tuesday Group, Freedom Caucus, Tuesday Group Study Group,
Speaker 1: you know, the Saturday drinking group. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many groups are in that that body. But and then Ryan,
Speaker 1: I felt the person that was most proactive to get
Speaker 1: this done for the president was the Freedom Caucus members.
Speaker 1: And I also know that they stayed in touch with
Speaker 1: people like you and Mike Lee and and Senator h
Speaker 1: Crewis of Texas because they didn't want a big problem
Speaker 1: in conference. So you've been following this closely. Where do
Speaker 1: you Where do you think their bill is going with
Speaker 1: a new waiver agreement that they have. I think everybody
Speaker 1: in the country should thank the Freedom Caucus. And if
Speaker 1: you are a conservative and you want the Republican Party
Speaker 1: to be conservative, you should send money to support them.
Speaker 1: Because the establishment hates the Freedom Caucus. They've already run
Speaker 1: ads against them. The big money, the Wall Street money,
Speaker 1: the big business money, the big corporate executives who want
Speaker 1: bailouts are all giving money to try to challenge them
Speaker 1: in primary. So we should thank the Freedom Caucus. The
Speaker 1: bill was terrible to begin with. It didn't even repeal
Speaker 1: the Obamacare taxes. They were gonna wait a year to
Speaker 1: repeal the taxes in the bill, they were continuing to
Speaker 1: Medicaid expansion, continuing subsidies, and Freedom Caucus has made it
Speaker 1: a lot better. I will say that everything the Freedom
Speaker 1: Caucus has gotten has made it a less bad bill.
Speaker 1: The only question I have, and I don't know where
Speaker 1: it's gonna wind up, is if it's still involves billions
Speaker 1: of dollars to insurance companies, it will be very very
Speaker 1: hard for me to vote for a federal program that
Speaker 1: it will be a new program that gives federal dollars
Speaker 1: to insurance companies. So that's kind of where I am.
Speaker 1: But I do commend the Freedom Caucus for doing everything
Speaker 1: they can to stop what was really a terrible rot
Speaker 1: and no good bill to begin with. There really was.
Speaker 1: It was god awful, all right? So what what is
Speaker 1: it gonna take for you to get on board if
Speaker 1: they pass this through the House. Now there's different reports
Speaker 1: out there. One says that the healthcare bill vote may
Speaker 1: not come for weeks. I'm hearing from other people that
Speaker 1: it could come as early as tomorrow. What are you hearing?
Speaker 1: To my mind, it was always this. I wanted a
Speaker 1: hundred percent repeal. But if the moderates only want eight
Speaker 1: percent repeal. I would settle for ninety percent repeal. So
Speaker 1: I'm not a perfectionist that I won't vote for incomplete repeal.
Speaker 1: But what I don't want to vote for is anything
Speaker 1: that's new. I don't want to vote for new federal
Speaker 1: programs that give money to UH insurance companies. So there's
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifteen billion dollars in grants and in
Speaker 1: high risk money that they're going to give to insurance companies.
Speaker 1: And then there's also three hundred billion dollars in refundable
Speaker 1: tax credits. This is money that people get that they
Speaker 1: did not pay in taxes. So essentially it is a
Speaker 1: an insurance welfare program, but it will come through the
Speaker 1: individuals to insurance companies. So the bill as I see
Speaker 1: it now has about four hundred billion dollars in money
Speaker 1: taken from the tax payer and given to insurance companies.
Speaker 1: Do you have you I gotta take a break here,
Speaker 1: but have you talked to Senator McConnell, the majority leader,
Speaker 1: and asked him if he will consider your proposal? We have,
Speaker 1: and we've gone round and round because I've told them,
Speaker 1: if you want to compromise, I'll compromise and I'll vote
Speaker 1: for less than complete repeal as long as you don't
Speaker 1: forgem What did they say in federal programs? They are
Speaker 1: all working within the construct because they started with the
Speaker 1: Ryan Plan. All of the details of the Ryan Plan,
Speaker 1: they're trying to make them less bad. But Ryan started
Speaker 1: out with this concept of a lot of federal taxpayer
Speaker 1: money going to the insurance companies, and I have a
Speaker 1: feeling it's gonna still remain when it gets to the Senate. Also,
Speaker 1: there's no timetable that you're hearing on the houses. The
Speaker 1: vote may not come this week. Everybody's obsessed with the
Speaker 1: cr Yeah, I think the spending has to be done
Speaker 1: because of the deadline this week, and there's a good
Speaker 1: chance that if there is an Obomacare vote that it
Speaker 1: will probably be next week. But I think something is coming.
Speaker 1: And I think we really should give a lot of
Speaker 1: credit to the Freedom Caucus, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordans, and
Speaker 1: others who have really hung in there and tried to say, look,
Speaker 1: we promised repeal and we're gonna keep fighting for it.
Speaker 1: And the one thing that really got us cross ways
Speaker 1: is most of us and I know you were appeared
Speaker 1: at some of these big Tea Party rallies is that
Speaker 1: we were campaigning for repeal of Obamacare. We weren't really
Speaker 1: campaigning for repeal but to continue some taxpayer funding of
Speaker 1: insurance companies. And so that's where we got cross ways,
Speaker 1: is when Paul Ryan said, oh, you're all you all
Speaker 1: campaigned on my plan. And what do you think? Why
Speaker 1: is Ryan not have any sense of urgency? Why is Ryan?
Speaker 1: You know, he seems so passive and ill prepared for
Speaker 1: this moment. I don't understand it. And you know, friends
Speaker 1: of mine have been speculating, not me, but friends of mine,
Speaker 1: and they're saying, well, does he even want the president
Speaker 1: it into succeed? Does he even trying to make help
Speaker 1: the president out here? Well? I think that's an interesting
Speaker 1: question because when you look at the people who are
Speaker 1: really people friends, who are friends of the president, they
Speaker 1: are in the Freedom Caucus. And even though it's sort
Speaker 1: of been painted as if their cross ways, I tell
Speaker 1: you I see these guys all the time, and they
Speaker 1: are ones who do want to support the President's agenda
Speaker 1: of smaller government, lower taxes, repealing Obamacare. And I think
Speaker 1: if they had started out by going to the Freedom
Speaker 1: Caucus and talking to them first. I think you'd have
Speaker 1: started out with a bill that started with what we
Speaker 1: agreed on, instead of being given a thousand things, five
Speaker 1: hundred of which we did not agree on and being
Speaker 1: told take it or leave it. It's a binary choice.
Speaker 1: It just started out. The public relations on this was
Speaker 1: terrible and awful, and then even when they do something good,
Speaker 1: nobody knows about it. So the House about two weeks
Speaker 1: ago voted for something that I'm very much for. That's
Speaker 1: buying groups. Let people join a buying group to get
Speaker 1: your price of insurance down. They actually passed that out
Speaker 1: of the House two weeks ago. Not one person in
Speaker 1: America knows about it because they don't do any public
Speaker 1: relations surrounding their bills. And I've been pushing the Senate
Speaker 1: to vote on it if it passed in the House
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. How come we're not bringing up in
Speaker 1: the Senate. Well, don't you have probably one of the
Speaker 1: closest relationships with Mitch McConnell. Yeah, but doesn't McConnell does
Speaker 1: not like me. I saw him. It doesn't make everything
Speaker 1: I want. I saw him at the Joint Session speech.
Speaker 1: I said a load to him and then act like
Speaker 1: he didn't care who I was, didn't want anything to
Speaker 1: do with me. I agitate every day and sometimes to
Speaker 1: access probably to try to have he get annoyed with you.
Speaker 1: Does he get annoyed with you too? Well? I don't
Speaker 1: want to make it personal. I would just say everybody
Speaker 1: gets annoyed with me because I'm always agitating for conservative legislation.
Speaker 1: I don't find you annoying. I find your guys, Sergio
Speaker 1: annoying his hell. But what I will say is I've
Speaker 1: been pushing them for a freestanding vote on these buying
Speaker 1: groups because I think they're a big part of the solution,
Speaker 1: and it also shows that we do have compassion for
Speaker 1: people who are sick. You know, I do a lot
Speaker 1: of charity work. Republicans are some of the most generous
Speaker 1: people you'll meet. We do. Don't you do a lot
Speaker 1: of surgery and medical care for free? Ever year? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I just got back from doing two in Western Kentucky.
Speaker 1: We did two cataract surgeries for free, myself and another surgeon.
Speaker 1: Metal doctors across the country do good stuff for people.
Speaker 1: Every every doctor I know. I've got friends of mine
Speaker 1: that our brain surgeons and spine surgeons and and just
Speaker 1: GP guys and and interns. They all do work for
Speaker 1: free and they, by the way, they don't even get
Speaker 1: a tax discount on that. But see, this is the
Speaker 1: problem is people think Republicans don't care about the poor,
Speaker 1: and so we have such bad public relations that when
Speaker 1: we have something where four that's really good, like these
Speaker 1: buying groups, that would you know, if you could join,
Speaker 1: Let's say you were a member of the n r
Speaker 1: A and there's five million people, and you could negotiate
Speaker 1: as five million and get a group policy one. You'd
Speaker 1: be protected against getting sick or a pre existing condition,
Speaker 1: you'd get a lower price, you'd get a guaranteed prices.
Speaker 1: And I've always said, you have either the co ops
Speaker 1: that you and I have talked about, free healthcare savings
Speaker 1: accounts and catastrophic care with high deductibles if you have
Speaker 1: the heart attack, the accident, or god forbid, you got cancer.
Speaker 1: But you and I have agreed on that for a
Speaker 1: long time. I gotta run, Senator Ram Paul, thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: Alright one, Sean, you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: this extravaganza. Conservative columnist the as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: the senior editor Conservative Reviewed, Daniel Harrowitz. He's pissed at
Speaker 1: the Republicans. He'll tell us why as we continue holding
Speaker 1: them accountable. Sean gets the answers no one else does.
Speaker 1: America deserves and know the truth about Congress. Eight years
Speaker 1: you guys had a plan, and you kept saying and
Speaker 1: promising you will appeep replaced Obamacare. And I guess what
Speaker 1: people want to know is when are these things going
Speaker 1: to get done. We're exactly on the timeline that we
Speaker 1: designed for ourselves. Obamacare is coming next. Our bill is
Speaker 1: coming in March. First, it's regulatory reform because we have
Speaker 1: this window of time to cancel bad Obama regulations. Then
Speaker 1: we're doing Obamacare. After we're done with Obamacare. Then we're
Speaker 1: doing our budget. And our budget is what the second budget,
Speaker 1: which will be tax reform. So we're doing two budgets
Speaker 1: in one year, which has never been done before. This
Speaker 1: is faster than it's ever been done before. When I
Speaker 1: heard Repair, my head nearly explode. That's not the plan.
Speaker 1: The plan is to repeal and replace this law. Like
Speaker 1: we said, we ran on a plan to repeal and
Speaker 1: replace it. Tom Price helped write that plan. He is
Speaker 1: now Donald Trump's Secretary of it is a consensus plan
Speaker 1: that's now being scored by the CBO. Correct, you're saying
Speaker 1: to the American people and conservatives that are impatient, including myself,
Speaker 1: you agree with every item I mentioned, even extreme vetting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we passed that bill a year ago. Now I know
Speaker 1: you now agree with building the wall. Yes, are you
Speaker 1: telling the American people vetting refugees, building the wall, repeal, replaced,
Speaker 1: tax reform, all of this is going to be done
Speaker 1: in two day Inside the two hundred day window. Is
Speaker 1: the regulatory reforms we talked about. It's the repeal and
Speaker 1: replace Obamacare. It's the budget, it's the rebuilding of our military,
Speaker 1: it's tax reform. Those are the things that we're working on.
Speaker 1: Any infrastructure, those are the things we're working on in
Speaker 1: this two hundred counts in the equation because that's in
Speaker 1: their edge. Well, we we see that as part of
Speaker 1: regulatory reform. But it's two hundred days. That's you think
Speaker 1: that's duels? Is our plan? Yeah, and if and if
Speaker 1: there's any slippe, we'll finish it in the fall and
Speaker 1: get it done before the end of the year. So
Speaker 1: if I come back in two hundred days, you're gonna
Speaker 1: you're gonna go, well, I made a promise. We've got it. Well,
Speaker 1: because I think this is so here's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We've we've met this out for two hundred days. We
Speaker 1: have a plan to do that. We're on schedule. But
Speaker 1: if if anything slips, because it'll be the Supreme Court justice, yeah,
Speaker 1: or or a filibuster on a cabinet nominee, that might
Speaker 1: slip us. But we're making sure that we do all
Speaker 1: of this in. Okay, let's go to the budget, which
Speaker 1: is such a big issue the president seven brackets to
Speaker 1: three corporate rate. I know you prefer twenty because that
Speaker 1: spores scores. Yeah, I have to get what we can
Speaker 1: with the With the number you support repatriation multinational corporations,
Speaker 1: that will be huge for that's a lot of money
Speaker 1: that can come back into the economy, about three trillion dollars.
Speaker 1: Here's my headline of this interview that you're in pretty
Speaker 1: much full agreement with with what Donald Trump ran on
Speaker 1: and number two, in two hundred days, from the legislative side,
Speaker 1: you are going to be implementing every aspect of that
Speaker 1: agenda that we talked about. And just as a big headline,
Speaker 1: we have and we have cushion in our schedule if
Speaker 1: if anything slips, because it's really because the Senate issues,
Speaker 1: we still have time to accommodate all of this stuff
Speaker 1: in TWEENI even conditions. I have cushions built in the
Speaker 1: schedule to make sure this all gets done in twenty
Speaker 1: because in case something happens and go sideways on the Senate,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that will stimulate the economy, get people
Speaker 1: back to work, and get the economy movement again, which
Speaker 1: I think we need. What we're hired to do. All right,
Speaker 1: you can see it two in the days. Some people
Speaker 1: on Capital Hell believe you can get one of two
Speaker 1: things next week a vote on healthcare. All right, twenty
Speaker 1: four now till the top of the hour, nine for
Speaker 1: one sean. You want to be a part of the
Speaker 1: program as we continue, even with our bronchitis and our cold. Uh.
Speaker 1: That was my interview with Speaker of the House Paul
Speaker 1: Ryan about his agreement with the Trump agenda getting all
Speaker 1: these things done, getting it done in two hundred days,
Speaker 1: and building in cushions and leaving open the fall to
Speaker 1: get everything accomplished. We don't know what the budget will
Speaker 1: look like until tomorrow but we're getting signs now until Friday.
Speaker 1: We're basically funded to the governmental Saturday, so there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a continuing resolution. The President did say today that
Speaker 1: he backed off his demand that Congress include the down
Speaker 1: payment for a wall spanning the entire US, but then
Speaker 1: he doubled down on his commitments. How about this will
Speaker 1: not be the only budget the only budgetary issue we're
Speaker 1: gonna deal with. This is just are you gonna let
Speaker 1: the Democrats shut it down over the funding of the
Speaker 1: wall at this moment? But Trump insisted, He said, don't
Speaker 1: let the fake media tell you I've changed my position
Speaker 1: on the wall. It will get built and help stop
Speaker 1: drugs and human trafficking. Now, I'm also told from a
Speaker 1: fairly reliable source that now, in fact, the healthcare bill,
Speaker 1: there has been an agreement among the varying coalitions within
Speaker 1: the Republican Party, the Moderates, the Tuesday Group, the Study Group,
Speaker 1: and the Freedom Coalition and the Freedom Caucus, and we
Speaker 1: might even get a vote on that as early as
Speaker 1: Thursday of this week. But there are conservatives friends of
Speaker 1: mine that are skeptical, and I'm always a trust but
Speaker 1: verified guy myself. One of them is Daniel Horowitz, who
Speaker 1: joins US now and Daniel wrote a piece today run
Speaker 1: over by a park car. Trump and Republicans cave on
Speaker 1: the budget. How are you, sir, Hey, I'm doing a
Speaker 1: right Uh said to hear that you have. That's all right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll really happen any any day of the week. Now, um, listen,
Speaker 1: let me start with so the President says, no this,
Speaker 1: We're just not going to fight this fight over the
Speaker 1: wall now. Now, this, by the way, comes one day
Speaker 1: after the Attorney General and the Homeland Security Secretary John
Speaker 1: Kelly both said that they're going to begin construction by
Speaker 1: the end of the summer. So I don't think it's
Speaker 1: that Chuck Schumer agreed to debate the border wall and
Speaker 1: even though he's threatening to shut down the government. But
Speaker 1: and uh and Trump went out there and very strongly
Speaker 1: accused the Democrats of helping MS thirteen. So, um, I
Speaker 1: don't doubt the President's commitment to do this. I worry
Speaker 1: about week Republicans finals Republicans, but we're a long way
Speaker 1: from losing this fight. And I do have faith and
Speaker 1: confidence in him to some extent. I mean, he's pretty
Speaker 1: much been dead on with most of his promises. I mean, here,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Sean. I don't doubt that Trump sincerely
Speaker 1: wants to build the wall. The problem is, I doubt
Speaker 1: that he understands the dynamics that's been taken place between
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan and congressional leaders. For the
Speaker 1: last six years, we've heard this every single time. It's
Speaker 1: probably more than Lucy and the football by now where
Speaker 1: they say it's the next time. They did this in
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven when they took over the House, Well,
Speaker 1: wait until September. Don't do it in March. We'll fight
Speaker 1: on bigger things. And there's one systemic problem. Every time
Speaker 1: Republicans telegraphed the message to Democrats that they have a
Speaker 1: maniacal fear of a government shutdown, so we're done, they
Speaker 1: lost all their leverage. Now, we thought this would only
Speaker 1: persist when Republicans had Congress, but Democrats had the bully
Speaker 1: pulpit of the presidency. Yet, even though they now have
Speaker 1: all three branches of government, it says if nothing has changed,
Speaker 1: Republicans get up there and say we can't have a
Speaker 1: government shutdown. And it makes no sense. I you know,
Speaker 1: on both sides of this This infuriates me too. I mean,
Speaker 1: on both sides of this think. You know, if Democrats
Speaker 1: are in power, they'll say, well, there are Publicans are
Speaker 1: gonna be blamed for the shutdown, and they cower. And
Speaker 1: now they've got the power, Democrats starting to shut down
Speaker 1: the government, and there's still afraid that they will get
Speaker 1: blamed for the government shutdown, even though Democrats will do it.
Speaker 1: No exactly, but this is much broader than even the
Speaker 1: border wall. A budget is a reflection of your priorities
Speaker 1: when you're in power. Now, if you have shared power
Speaker 1: divided government, you're gonna have to come to some compromise.
Speaker 1: But Republicans are never gonna accrue more power than they
Speaker 1: have now. And so far Congress has done absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: You know, I put together a list, but at this
Speaker 1: juncture in two thousand nine April two tho nine, Democrats
Speaker 1: had the bailouts, the stimulus, financial rigs, equal pay s,
Speaker 1: ship expansion, and then they laid the groundwork for cap
Speaker 1: and trade and Obamacare. And then in the March Omnibus
Speaker 1: Bill of two thousand nine, they got everything they wanted
Speaker 1: and eight Republicans gave them the votes they got. They
Speaker 1: got what they needed. Republicans have done nothing. The budget
Speaker 1: bill is pretty much the last opportunity. They caved on
Speaker 1: planned parenthood fundingland ready, you don't even hear about that.
Speaker 1: They caved on refuge right, But we're not really dealing
Speaker 1: with the full budget here. This is a cr well,
Speaker 1: well but wait a minute, but this is the full
Speaker 1: budget in the sense that in last fall, why didn't
Speaker 1: they do a full year budget? They kicked it into
Speaker 1: the next the next year, which they always do. By
Speaker 1: the way, next president, hopefully being a Republican, would be
Speaker 1: able to have their prime Listen, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: disagreeing at all. I do fear that there is this
Speaker 1: lack of will to fight. And you know, I will
Speaker 1: tell you another thing. I know exactly how the only
Speaker 1: way this health care bill got done is because of
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows. Mark Meadows worked tirelessly with the Study Group,
Speaker 1: the Tuesday Group, the Moderates, and and NonStop. I mean,
Speaker 1: it is frustrating that you have liberal Republicans that want
Speaker 1: to stop everything, and then the Conservatives actually get blamed
Speaker 1: if something doesn't happen. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that we didn't get repeal and replaced
Speaker 1: done because they had all these years. So you know,
Speaker 1: there's definitely a lack of backbone. But more importantly, why
Speaker 1: why didn't the leadership of the House build consensus for this?
Speaker 1: Why aren't they building consensus? And why is it? You know,
Speaker 1: always power panic politics. They always wait till the last minute,
Speaker 1: and nobody gets consulted, nobody knows what's in it, nobody
Speaker 1: even knows what's being debated. Well, this is the problem.
Speaker 1: And he seen on display this week. While Democrats pursue power,
Speaker 1: Republicans pursue office as an ends to itself. They don't
Speaker 1: really feel passionate about any of these issues. You know,
Speaker 1: you listen to Chuck Schumer, they pound the elector and
Speaker 1: we will on this, we will not fund this. And
Speaker 1: Republicans instead of saying no, we're going to fund our priorities,
Speaker 1: they talk about a government shutdown. And a similar thing
Speaker 1: with healthcare. I'm just seeing from Phil Kline to the
Speaker 1: Washington Examine or he just asked Charlie Dent, the head
Speaker 1: of the Moderate Republicans, how exactly are you going to
Speaker 1: lower premiums if you don't repeal the Obamacare regulations? And
Speaker 1: he said that's the sixty four thousand dollar question. So
Speaker 1: I means they don't really have answers to any of this.
Speaker 1: And this is why the compromise is supposed to be
Speaker 1: about options and choice on waivers, which Mark Meadows made
Speaker 1: a very compelling case to me how that lowers premiums
Speaker 1: and increases options and paves the way for health savings
Speaker 1: accounts and cooperatives that wouldn't have existed before, and that
Speaker 1: the free market will naturally, as we believe as conservatives
Speaker 1: drive the prices down. Yeah, I mean, I think we
Speaker 1: have to see the legislative details and and and again.
Speaker 1: To be clear, this is very far from full repeal
Speaker 1: Medicaid expansions. Still their subseis still their Most states will
Speaker 1: not ask for a waivers, certainly the Democrats and John
Speaker 1: Kazi type of Republicans. But I feel, you know, Mark
Speaker 1: Meadows worked so hard, this is probably the best he
Speaker 1: could get. Unfortunately, but this is the problem. Headed forward,
Speaker 1: Trump would be so much more, he would benefit so
Speaker 1: much more if he would work prospectively with people like
Speaker 1: Meadows on things like the budget, the border wall, taxes,
Speaker 1: rather than waiting for the appropriators and leadership to sell
Speaker 1: them out. Because that's what they've been doing the last
Speaker 1: three weeks. I don't I don't disagree at all. And
Speaker 1: it started with healthcare and nobody saw the bill and nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody had no consensus was built. I mean it was
Speaker 1: if you want to fail spectacularly and look stupid and
Speaker 1: ill prepared to lead, just to keep doing it the
Speaker 1: way the leadership is doing it, I don't disagree at all. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that's the lesson of the last of the first hundred days.
Speaker 1: That well. But on the other hand, Trump everything Trump
Speaker 1: could do on his own, he's done, and he's kept
Speaker 1: his promises, and you gotta give him high marks for
Speaker 1: doing everything you can do independently. He's done a lot executively.
Speaker 1: But again, there has to be a sense of expectations
Speaker 1: and things. It doesn't seem like you're gonna give this
Speaker 1: guy any credit. Neil Gorsuch alone is an a I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, he said that you're a hardass. I'm glad
Speaker 1: I don't have I didn't have you as a professor. Gosh,
Speaker 1: we we were great, pretty tough here. But but but again,
Speaker 1: democrats all stay stay right there. We gotta take a break. Um,
Speaker 1: I suffer from insomnia, but a pillow has made my
Speaker 1: life so much better. I'm talking about Mike Lindel my pillow,

Speaker 1: and information Overloaded Hour is coming up at the top,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to your calls. Eight nine one, Shawn
Speaker 1: straight Ahead, The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show
Speaker 1: is up. The next hang on for Shaun's Conservative solutions.
Speaker 1: All right, as we continue with our friend Daniel Harrowitz.
Speaker 1: He's the senior editor of Conservative Review. And UH, let
Speaker 1: me just run through because you're you're boy. You even
Speaker 1: give a B on Gorset. Good grief, it was from
Speaker 1: the list that he promised anyway. Um, but you've got
Speaker 1: an originalist on the Supreme Court. You've got the president
Speaker 1: literally single handedly phoning around and keeping all these corporations
Speaker 1: from Fiat Chrysler and Ford and GM and and Carrier,
Speaker 1: and the list goes on and on. And he's bringing
Speaker 1: jobs back by his own sheer willpower. He has ended
Speaker 1: the war on cold He's reduced the illegal immigration because
Speaker 1: he's enforcing the laws. He literally is fighting back against ISIS,
Speaker 1: like he said, he's fighting against sanctuary cities, as he said,
Speaker 1: he's trying executive amnesty, I'm sorry, executive vetting. As he said.
Speaker 1: He created a task force to reduce crime and protect
Speaker 1: police officers targeting drug cartels, responded to serious use of
Speaker 1: chemical weapons. UH sanctioned to ran over the missile program.
Speaker 1: Um he's moving forward, he's building the plans for the
Speaker 1: border wall. At least he is fighting hard to repeal
Speaker 1: and replace Obamacare. It's not his fault. Congress is inepton
Speaker 1: and pathetically weak um and everything that's so far he's promised.
Speaker 1: He moved towards energy independence, Keystone pipeline, the Coda pipeline.
Speaker 1: You don't give him any credit at all. And then no,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you gave him a be on Gorset,
Speaker 1: you hardass. Jeez, that's rough. Well, the thing with we
Speaker 1: we just don't know. There is not a big paper trail.
Speaker 1: He said on row and overdor Fell that it's absolutely
Speaker 1: settled law. I'm okay with him. I just think with
Speaker 1: the Republican Senate and a Republican president and you campaign
Speaker 1: on it, I don't blame him. I think it's it's fine.
Speaker 1: But it's not like this is so amazing. It's not
Speaker 1: like he's a Clarence Thomas or at least a known Scholia.
Speaker 1: Maybe it will be, but more probably speaking, we need
Speaker 1: a sense of proportionality. Democrats don't make any excuses. They
Speaker 1: got everything they wanted. We're keeping thy Ran deal, we
Speaker 1: are keeping Obensay. But I'm agreeing with you and every
Speaker 1: point you're making. And the executive amnesty, by the way,
Speaker 1: executive amnesty, Sean Spicer yesterday said he you know, Trump
Speaker 1: has a heart. That was a direct promise, but he's
Speaker 1: also but wait a minute, but he's also enforcing the law.
Speaker 1: And he's also an illegal immigrations down nearly because now
Speaker 1: remember executive amnesty was don't enforce the law. That was
Speaker 1: a big part of it. Look, I don't feel like
Speaker 1: I want to. I share your criticism against Congress, I
Speaker 1: really do, but I think you're being a little harsh
Speaker 1: against Trump inasmuch as I think that it's a pretty
Speaker 1: significant list for a hundred days. My opinion, Well, the
Speaker 1: problem here again, it's not a matter of well, there
Speaker 1: aren't enough hours in the day for him to get
Speaker 1: to some of these things. Of course, I mean, you're
Speaker 1: not going to balance the budget in a hundred days.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna deal with medicaid and so security. We
Speaker 1: get that, But there are certain basic promises where people
Speaker 1: in the administrations have affirmatively said the wrong things or
Speaker 1: are pursuing the wrong policies on these issues. And I
Speaker 1: think if conservatives don't raise concern, you know, the gravity
Speaker 1: and Washington is one directional. It's never gonna go in
Speaker 1: our favor, and it's important we realize that before these
Speaker 1: issues are lost. I don't I don't disagree with you.
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here and I'm just listening, and it
Speaker 1: drives me crazy because what you're describing is a party
Speaker 1: that asked for the House, the Senate, at the White House,
Speaker 1: got it, and then they're still ill prepared to lead.
Speaker 1: It's it's it really frustrates me. And um, I hear
Speaker 1: everything you're saying, and one of the things, but I
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta go though, I mean not that I
Speaker 1: don't like you. I mean actually Conservative Review it is
Speaker 1: one of my favorite applications and you can get Daniel's
Speaker 1: columns and and all the great reporting on Conservative review
Speaker 1: dot com and he's the senior editor and uh and
Speaker 1: a friend of ours. A little bit of a hard ask,
Speaker 1: but we like them great to be with you, of course,
Speaker 1: we love Daniel. He's awesome. Well, take a quick break,
Speaker 1: we'll come back. News round Up, Information Overload. We're going
Speaker 1: to talk about liberal fascism in the country today and
Speaker 1: much more straight. AFT gonna be the most awkward meeting
Speaker 1: of all time. This is going to be the equivalent,
Speaker 1: the political equivalent of having your ex wife at a wedding,
Speaker 1: and it is going to be horrible. These two could
Speaker 1: not be more opposite. He likes cheeseburgers, she's about the
Speaker 1: Frank bert Is. He's flamboyant. She could murder both her
Speaker 1: parents in the night and eat their livers for breakfast
Speaker 1: and you would never know. These two are diametrically opposed.
Speaker 1: He wants a travel ban, she's the mother of all migrants.
Speaker 1: I do not see this meeting going well. Mircle never smiles.
Speaker 1: She actually travels with a wardrobe assistant specifically tasked to
Speaker 1: keep her looking boring so that people will focus on
Speaker 1: her politics. That's the truth, all right. The voice you
Speaker 1: were hearing there News Round Up Information Overlord is Daily
Speaker 1: Mail columnist Katie Hopkins. And that's when she was on
Speaker 1: I believe Stewart Varney's program and she was talking about
Speaker 1: Trump and Angela Merkel. It's almost like the Camille Pagley
Speaker 1: of Great Britain. And uh, we're a big fan of hers.
Speaker 1: And uh, you've never been on a program before, have you?
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm well, thank you and thank you
Speaker 1: for being so kind, and no I haven't joined you
Speaker 1: on your show before, but yes that was me with
Speaker 1: lovely Varney. Um. And as you can tell or here,
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan of Angela Merkele, mother of
Speaker 1: all migrants, who I hold entirely responsible for the dilapid
Speaker 1: states of Europe as it is today. She's the one
Speaker 1: that said come, come, make this your home. Come, and
Speaker 1: she's the reason we still have forty four thus and
Speaker 1: migrants crossing the med today this year. You know you're
Speaker 1: you know you're a xenophobic, and you know you're racist,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you're probably a sexist and uh an
Speaker 1: islama fob on top of it. I tell you, Sean,
Speaker 1: it says Ans Darling. I am. It's sexist, racist, as
Speaker 1: I'm a phobic. You just you just call me darling.
Speaker 1: That's sexual harassment today, yeah, oh god to that. And
Speaker 1: also a misogynist. I mean just I absolutely have to.
Speaker 1: As I walk around the town center here, I like
Speaker 1: wear the labels all over me just so that people
Speaker 1: can identify all the ifs that I am and the
Speaker 1: liberals can kind of point and laugh. That's pretty much
Speaker 1: what I do. You know, there are two types of
Speaker 1: Brits that I've met in my life. People like you,
Speaker 1: I actually put you know, I like I actually like
Speaker 1: Piers Morgan. He's with the Daily Mail, right, um, I
Speaker 1: couldn't really like paper. And then you know what, and
Speaker 1: we don't always agree. I mean I told him on
Speaker 1: guns he drives me nuts. But and then he came
Speaker 1: to America and was going to lecture America on the
Speaker 1: need to take everybody's guns way. I said, that was
Speaker 1: the dumbest programming decision I think anyone's ever made in
Speaker 1: a history of television. And he goes, you're right, this
Speaker 1: was the dumbest one. But I really like him. He's
Speaker 1: very quick, and he's very smart and sarcastic and iconoclastic,
Speaker 1: just like you. And and then there's other Brits that
Speaker 1: are like, you know, dull and boring and liberal. And
Speaker 1: then the rest of us are alive and we're the
Speaker 1: ones that come on to fire. You remind me a
Speaker 1: little bit of Nigel Farage too. I think, yeah, the Nigel,
Speaker 1: the Nigel comparison might be a bit dodgy, but yeah,
Speaker 1: he's quite similar. We're outspoken, we say exactly what we
Speaker 1: say exactly with Peers. It was the dumbest thing he
Speaker 1: ever did. To try to go to America and kind
Speaker 1: of tell them about kind of guns and what you
Speaker 1: should be doing was absolutely bonkers. That would be like
Speaker 1: coming to the UK and trying to tell Brits about history.
Speaker 1: You know, you just don't do that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: That would be like me doing a talk show and
Speaker 1: in Great Britain saying what is the what do you
Speaker 1: have a king and queen and prince and Christmas for?
Speaker 1: What's that all about? Mike? You the nipples would love
Speaker 1: you for that. SHI hate the monarchy the biggest fans
Speaker 1: all of the time. But I do think, look, there's
Speaker 1: that we share a similarity Peers and I certainly where
Speaker 1: we say what we think. And I in no way
Speaker 1: want to persuade everyone over to my side, Like I
Speaker 1: don't want people to have my opinion. I just want
Speaker 1: them to have an opinion for me to have mine,
Speaker 1: and I don't need them to agree with me. I
Speaker 1: always say, Sean, you know, opinions are not right or wrong,
Speaker 1: like no one life is not an exam and no
Speaker 1: one made you the individulator. But somehow liberals can't get
Speaker 1: their heads around that. They have one way of thinking,
Speaker 1: and if you don't think the same way, then they
Speaker 1: basically throw rocks at you all set fire to your car,
Speaker 1: which is about their intelligence level. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: why don't you do a talk show on Fox News
Speaker 1: with us, because you know, apparently by the time I
Speaker 1: get fired in a couple of days after these phony
Speaker 1: sexual harassment clients. Have you, by the way, is it
Speaker 1: made it across the pond, the story about me ever, Trevor, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really made across And you know, I always find
Speaker 1: with this a lot of kind of safe safe Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity and you know, stand strong with Hannity. I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot of that as well. So people are like
Speaker 1: kind of coming out rallying around the people that they're
Speaker 1: going to defend no matter what nonsense gets spread. I
Speaker 1: always think, look, there's four guys out there. I'm one
Speaker 1: of them. No doubt I'll be fired sometime next week
Speaker 1: as well. But I think what we have to accept.
Speaker 1: I want to take you and my family voice we
Speaker 1: go for it. I want to just get on a
Speaker 1: plane together, you and me and everybody we know together
Speaker 1: will run out a big jet and we'll we'll like
Speaker 1: fly to Australia and will invade there and and Australia
Speaker 1: will throw us out within twenty four hours. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think we would have the points um Australians require, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we'd make their credentials for having
Speaker 1: us in their country. To be honest, they're quite pussy,
Speaker 1: the Australians. I think since we sent our convicts to them,
Speaker 1: that was a bad idea about who they let in.
Speaker 1: You know, I think it costs. You can buy citizenship
Speaker 1: there for like five million dollars or maybe it's New Zealand.
Speaker 1: Well when you when you what you know. One of
Speaker 1: the things that I've been talking about is that like
Speaker 1: in America, and you've experienced this in Great Britain too,
Speaker 1: is there is this liberal fascism movement where they want
Speaker 1: to silence every conservative voice they can. And it's it's
Speaker 1: called political correctness whatever it is. But they start these boycotts,
Speaker 1: Oh this advertised, they pressure three people, act like their
Speaker 1: three hundred million people, and they write these advertisers and
Speaker 1: mass and all these phony accounts that they have already
Speaker 1: pre established, and the left that says they're so tolerant
Speaker 1: of liberty and freedom and freedom of expression. Are the
Speaker 1: most intolerant human beings on this earth? Are you experiencing
Speaker 1: that where you are? Absolutely, it's very similar here. So
Speaker 1: liberals try to shut down anything they don't buy into.
Speaker 1: Certainly our state broadcaster, they're British Broadcasting Corporation, the bias
Speaker 1: on there. I was cooling them out on it. This morning.
Speaker 1: There were four anti brexit stories on their homepage for
Speaker 1: people to start their day with. It's that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: And then I suppose at a personal level, just because
Speaker 1: I'm just a mom with three kids who's just a
Speaker 1: bit gobby. You know, that's kind of how I would
Speaker 1: summarize myself. What's a bit gobby? What does gobby? A bit?
Speaker 1: It's so cute when you do it, it's so cute, right,
Speaker 1: A bit gobby, a bit mouthy. You know, I talk
Speaker 1: a lot. I say what I think hang on A
Speaker 1: mouth is large. Oh, she's a bit gobby. She talks
Speaker 1: a lot. All right, now, I'm learning as we go.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Okay, So I'm a gobby and um, but
Speaker 1: people try to silence me via a number of means.
Speaker 1: So I've had my children reported to social services for
Speaker 1: their welfare. I've been in front of the Crime and
Speaker 1: Homicide Command, No way one of my rote. I've had
Speaker 1: two hundred thou people sign a petition to get me sacked.
Speaker 1: It didn't work. And I've had people send twelve police forces.
Speaker 1: I've been arrested twice just for saying or tweeting things
Speaker 1: that I think. So that's how they try to get
Speaker 1: to you, and it hasn't worked just yet. Well, I
Speaker 1: want people to take very close attention. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: serious from one minute here Katie Hopkins on the Daily Way,
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, people need to understand. I always say,
Speaker 1: so goes liberal leftist moonbeam California. So goes America, you know,
Speaker 1: ten years down the road, similarly as goes Europe, eventually
Speaker 1: all those madness makes its way to the US. This
Speaker 1: is not a joke what you're saying. No, it's not really.
Speaker 1: When I think about those examples of me, you know,
Speaker 1: sitting in front of two police officers in a police station,
Speaker 1: being interviewed about something I wrote in an article in
Speaker 1: the National paper, and that being referred to the crack
Speaker 1: Crown Prosecution Service because I was reported by the Society
Speaker 1: for Black Lawyers. Basically, what happens here definitely come to America.
Speaker 1: And you guys can look at Europe and the way
Speaker 1: we've fallen with our migrates, the way that we've allowed
Speaker 1: them to make us essentially terrorist targets on a weekly basis,
Speaker 1: with our leaders telling us that's just something we have
Speaker 1: to live with. Now, that's what you can expect in
Speaker 1: European cities. All of this you see a player in Europe.
Speaker 1: It definitely comes to America, which is why Trump is
Speaker 1: on the money with his building the wall, with his
Speaker 1: stopping people coming from certain countries, clamping down on bringing
Speaker 1: things on airplanes. I think America should protect itself every
Speaker 1: which way it can. And I look to America still
Speaker 1: is this kind of brilliant place in my heart. I
Speaker 1: used to live in um the East Village, I worked
Speaker 1: in Manhattan for ten years. I still look to America
Speaker 1: as the champion of free speech, and I see how
Speaker 1: we have lost that here. And there's a few, a
Speaker 1: good few, a brave few, you included, in America that
Speaker 1: are fighting the good fight. And I stand right by you.
Speaker 1: You know, it is so sad what you're describing, because
Speaker 1: I mean, in a in a similar way, they're really
Speaker 1: trying to do that to all the conservatives in this country, Katie,
Speaker 1: You know there are there's somebody right now that's monitoring
Speaker 1: every word we say, transcribing every word we say. By
Speaker 1: the way, what a pathetic loser to be in your
Speaker 1: underwear in your basement like a psycho all day, getting
Speaker 1: paid to monitor us in the hopes that they can
Speaker 1: silence us. I mean, what to whoever that person is now?
Speaker 1: Got all these people go get a life, Go live
Speaker 1: your own life. You are pathetic anyway, I digress so true?
Speaker 1: Do you know what happened is? You know, it's very
Speaker 1: unfortunate for these guys. They grew up as gamers. They
Speaker 1: never really left their mum's house. They're like savy four
Speaker 1: years old. The men, they're still single, they still live
Speaker 1: in their mom's spare room. They're kind of floss the
Speaker 1: teeth with their you know, their toenails. They kind of
Speaker 1: eat their own ear wax. Those are the guys that
Speaker 1: are monitoring what you and I are saying. And those
Speaker 1: are the guys that are going to tell us whether
Speaker 1: we said that something that was wrong or not, Well,
Speaker 1: big news. I don't care, and I don't really care
Speaker 1: if I end up in prison for the things that
Speaker 1: I want to say either, because if I go there,
Speaker 1: I'll write a book and I'll publish that as well.
Speaker 1: So little man in your basement listening to Sean, back
Speaker 1: the heck off, because he needs to say what you
Speaker 1: want speak. If it's a lot of woman articulate the
Speaker 1: voices of so many, that's the thing you're speaking for
Speaker 1: so many. And that's why we need to look after
Speaker 1: the voices like yours. We need to put you on
Speaker 1: like every Friday. We'll call it Friday Afternoons. Were Katie
Speaker 1: Hopkins on on the Hannity Show. I love that Hopkins wisdom.
Speaker 1: All right, stay right there, we'll take a break. We'll
Speaker 1: come back more with Katie shows with the Daily Mail.
Speaker 1: If you want to read her column, well, we'll start
Speaker 1: linking at to Hannity dot com. Hey, listen, you know
Speaker 1: I am a proud as Piers Morgan listening, proud supporter
Speaker 1: of the U s c c A. And right now
Speaker 1: they are giving away to ten winners of the Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: They're gonna give ten people the opportunity for you to
Speaker 1: get hundred bucks to buy the gun of your dreams. Now,
Speaker 1: the U s c c A. We know them for
Speaker 1: providing education, safety training, self defense insurance for responsible going
Speaker 1: owners like us. Anyway, all you have to do is
Speaker 1: go to defend Family dot Com right now. You'll instantly
Speaker 1: lock in your ten chances to win. It's that's simple.
Speaker 1: That easy is won't last forever. Eligibility ends May the
Speaker 1: thirty one, so the details are simple. I don't want
Speaker 1: you to miss out. Ten legal US residents twenty one
Speaker 1: and older to give poor Piers a heart attack. Will
Speaker 1: each receive hundred bucks to buy any gun they want,
Speaker 1: no restrictions, any gun from the shelf. Just go to
Speaker 1: defend Family dot Com right now to get the official
Speaker 1: rules unlocking your ten chances to win. Do it now
Speaker 1: so you don't forget Defend Family dot Com all right,
Speaker 1: bottom of a half hour. Your calls when we come back.
Speaker 1: Final moments Katie Hopkins, she's very cheeky and gobby. We'll
Speaker 1: continue all right. As we continue with Daily Mail columnist
Speaker 1: Katie Hopkins, is with us? You mentioned in the last
Speaker 1: segment that the police came to your house? Well? Why yes?
Speaker 1: So I'm on Twitter quite a lot. I tweeted some stuff.
Speaker 1: I tweeted what what does some does? Some stuff means?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna decapitate you. I'm gonna pull your fingernails out.
Speaker 1: What did you tweet? Oh, I just tweeted. I think
Speaker 1: that the nurse. There was a nurse that went over
Speaker 1: to help with the ebola kind of epidemic in Africa.
Speaker 1: She came back to the UK. She knew she was ill,
Speaker 1: she knew she had a temperature, but she carried on through.
Speaker 1: I called that nurse an Ebola bomb. Um. I got
Speaker 1: taken in for questioning um and with interviewed under caution
Speaker 1: because I called her in a bowla bomb on Twitter. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what that's it? I know? Well? So what? Well?
Speaker 1: And then another example would be the Major Crime and
Speaker 1: Homicide Command. I was interviewed under caution with them. That's
Speaker 1: the homicide command because I wrote a column about migrants
Speaker 1: crossing the med and I said we should stop the
Speaker 1: boats and send in the military. Um. I had to
Speaker 1: be questioned under caution because of inciting racial hatred was
Speaker 1: my charge. When I was I was let off. How
Speaker 1: lucky I am, You know, I I can't believe what
Speaker 1: I'm hearing. But in light of what I've been through
Speaker 1: with the stalker of over a decade, and these horrible
Speaker 1: false accusations against me, I mean, and I guess nothing
Speaker 1: surprises me. Um, I don't have a lot of time.
Speaker 1: I've been negligent if I didn't ask you about Marline
Speaker 1: Penn and the chances, the chances Les Pen of winning
Speaker 1: in France and especially in light of Brexit, and are
Speaker 1: we ever going to get bregsit done? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: and no, it's it's like having you know, Christmas with
Speaker 1: your blooming mother in lawy, It's just like never ending
Speaker 1: and it never goes away. You know. I still don't
Speaker 1: have enough of my mother in law now and she's dead.
Speaker 1: But Brexit seems like he's just gonna yawn on and on.
Speaker 1: We've got a snap election coming up so that Theresa
Speaker 1: May can increase her mandate to power. So that's all
Speaker 1: going on. But with mac crawl and La Penn, you know, mcrown,
Speaker 1: I have to say, as much as he's seen as
Speaker 1: the savior for the markets and the savior for the
Speaker 1: EU and the great White hope for France, he terrifies me.
Speaker 1: They say that in the first round, because there's two
Speaker 1: rounds in France, like they can't get enough of it.
Speaker 1: In the first round, you're supposed to vote for who
Speaker 1: you love, and in the second round, you're supposed to
Speaker 1: vote for who you fear the most. And I say
Speaker 1: I fear Matt Crown. You know, he's an investment banker,
Speaker 1: he's a rothschild baby. He's married to his teacher who's
Speaker 1: twenty four years senior, who he met when he was
Speaker 1: at school. And that's really weaki. He has no friends.
Speaker 1: He had to create his own party in order to
Speaker 1: achieve what he's achieved. And he has no representation at
Speaker 1: all in the Senate, so that even if he gets in,
Speaker 1: he's only going to get in with kind of probably
Speaker 1: and then he has no representation. So how are you
Speaker 1: going to governor? I don't know, but I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I do not understand how in light of all of
Speaker 1: the terrorist attacks in Great Britain and and the migrant
Speaker 1: crime that has existed throughout all of Europe, that there
Speaker 1: isn't every European being outraged like you are and saying
Speaker 1: we're not going to allow people that do not respect
Speaker 1: our laws, our sovereignty, our culture and want to assimilate
Speaker 1: into this country, especially people that grow up under Shariah
Speaker 1: that oppressed women, kill gays, and lesbians and persecute Christians
Speaker 1: and Jews. Oh no, not at all. I mean it's
Speaker 1: the opposite that he's the right answer. Like there's a
Speaker 1: pick pop list of answers you're allowed to have here
Speaker 1: in the UK. So only this morning on the radio
Speaker 1: in the news it was the Left we're campaigning for
Speaker 1: a minister for refugees because there's a feeling that refugees
Speaker 1: don't get sufficient opportunities in this country. You know ship
Speaker 1: box that says you cannot talk about sexuality if it's
Speaker 1: a Muslim person speaking, because it's their right to hate LGBT,
Speaker 1: and then you can't talk about anything to do with
Speaker 1: molestation or for example, one eight hundred rapes and sexual
Speaker 1: assaults on New Year's even cologne that was covered up
Speaker 1: because they were carried out by migrants, and it's seen
Speaker 1: as not good for the Muslim community if we tell
Speaker 1: the truth about the crimes that are committed. I wish
Speaker 1: I could talk to you all that. You know what,
Speaker 1: We're gonna like set up a thing and we're gonna
Speaker 1: call what do you want to call it again? Well,
Speaker 1: we'll call it the Hopkins Wisdom, but we could call
Speaker 1: it the Hannity Hopkins, the hot Hannity Hopkins, Monithor and
Speaker 1: I could just moan about the state of the world. No,
Speaker 1: I don't even have to work work when you're on
Speaker 1: you're so gabby, I mean and cheeky. I mean it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Well maybe maybe all right, thank you so much. Eight
Speaker 1: when Sean, Wow, that is like that is hilarious. I've
Speaker 1: been sitting here laughing the whole time. We'll take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll get to your phone calls when we
Speaker 1: come back. Straight ahead, alright, now till the top of
Speaker 1: the our eight one Sean, if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program, right, so much going on,
Speaker 1: and let me get to your your phone calls. Here,
Speaker 1: I want to say one thing as we start. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to spend a lot more time on this.
Speaker 1: Although I am hitting this hard tonight, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to stop because there really is an effort afoot now
Speaker 1: to silence conservative voices in the country. And I look,
Speaker 1: I've talked about it, I've explained it, but not like this.
Speaker 1: It's just the amount of money that goes into monitoring
Speaker 1: every conservative on radio the Fox News Channel in the
Speaker 1: hopes that they can attack advertisers and just a roundabout
Speaker 1: way of of silencing opposition voices. It's as bad as
Speaker 1: I've ever seen it. And if you are not engaged
Speaker 1: with us in this, then you're news outlets and the
Speaker 1: personalities and the shows that you like and want to
Speaker 1: listen to and want to watch, You're gonna be gone.
Speaker 1: That It is a real, clear and present danger. And
Speaker 1: I'm not making it up just because I'm just the
Speaker 1: latest victim attacked here. Anyway, Let's get to our busy
Speaker 1: phones here. Susie is in North Carolina. Susie, Hi, how
Speaker 1: are you glad you called? Hi? Sean, thank you for
Speaker 1: taking my call. Thank you that we support your fans.
Speaker 1: I watch you every day. I was listening to you
Speaker 1: on the way home from work every day. Thank you
Speaker 1: to it um God bless you, and I'm so sorry
Speaker 1: for what you're going through, right man, but we support you.
Speaker 1: The truth will come to life. I'm praying for you
Speaker 1: and your family. Well, I right. I honestly appreciate the
Speaker 1: amount of support. Linda. Isn't this what did I say
Speaker 1: to you yesterday? It's beyond humbling. And you know the
Speaker 1: I what I said to Linda, I said, you know,
Speaker 1: this case was such a cut and dry, you know
Speaker 1: case that you know, we were able to debunk this immediately.
Speaker 1: You know, what do I do if it's somebody it's
Speaker 1: being paid to do it that I don't even know,
Speaker 1: and it just makes a wild accusation. One of the
Speaker 1: things that um I noticed in the coverage of all
Speaker 1: this is it was everywhere. There is no website, there
Speaker 1: is no radio station, there is no newspaper, there is
Speaker 1: no nothing that I can't that I can name. It
Speaker 1: didn't cover the false accusations against me. And by the way,
Speaker 1: to the credit of most, they did also cover my
Speaker 1: response and they did cover the recanting of the remarks.
Speaker 1: So but I but this woman has this individual has
Speaker 1: been after me for twelve, fourteen, whatever many years it is,
Speaker 1: and has lied about me on so many different issues,
Speaker 1: and we had debunked every lie, no correction, no apology, nothing.
Speaker 1: And I just feel that in this environment and light
Speaker 1: of recent events and firings a fox that ah, he's vulnerable,
Speaker 1: let's get them. And that's what's so sinister here is
Speaker 1: that there was a this was a kill shot, This
Speaker 1: was a know, crosshairs on my my forehead and my
Speaker 1: heart at the same time, and listen. I want you
Speaker 1: to know something, Susie. I it's not about me, it
Speaker 1: really isn't. I mean, you know, maybe I'll go play golf.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'll do. I mean, twiddle my thumbs.
Speaker 1: But what's more important is is that the one news
Speaker 1: channel in this country that offers fair coverage to Donald
Speaker 1: Trump should not be silenced. The talk radio should not
Speaker 1: be silenced. I don't ask for boycotts against liberals. I've
Speaker 1: never supported them. I'm never going to support them. Rachel
Speaker 1: Mattow have at it every night. I've never complained. My
Speaker 1: friend Gretta swear. She's a nice person, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know her. I've met Don Lemon
Speaker 1: at CNN, a very nice individual, one on one. Couldn't
Speaker 1: be nicer. I don't want his voice silenced, you know,
Speaker 1: I've never It's not who we are. And that's why
Speaker 1: I know people say, well, let's let's get back event,
Speaker 1: let's let's boycott that. No, we don't want to do
Speaker 1: it because it's really ultimately gonna be used as a
Speaker 1: weapon against us, whether accusations are true or not. It's
Speaker 1: um yeah, So I look, I just to finish the
Speaker 1: circle here. I can't thank all of you enough. I can't,
Speaker 1: you know. I thank you for your open mindedness, your
Speaker 1: your healthy skepticism, and your willingness to at least wait
Speaker 1: for the facts to come in. You're more than welcome.
Speaker 1: And I knew them in and I even heard anything.
Speaker 1: I listen. But by the way, is Linda has been
Speaker 1: pointing out all the all the last days. You're not perfect,
Speaker 1: by the way, and we know you're a pain in
Speaker 1: the neck. We know. Did you not say that? Do
Speaker 1: you not bring me back down to earth? That's what
Speaker 1: I'm here for. I'm here for your say it, go ahead,
Speaker 1: and I love you. But you're not with that your
Speaker 1: you know, have you ever read the Good Book? You
Speaker 1: hate when I quote the Bible? You hate it all right,
Speaker 1: But it all said, it says all have sin, darling
Speaker 1: and fallen short. Like I say, don't throw stones when
Speaker 1: you live in a glass house. That is whether it's
Speaker 1: you know, by the way, people are now gonna interpret
Speaker 1: what does that mean? It is Hannity admitting to something
Speaker 1: I can't win. I can at this point in my life,
Speaker 1: I cannot win. You know what I think is really
Speaker 1: interesting in something that no one has pointed out, and
Speaker 1: it speaks to your character on this is you were
Speaker 1: the first person to come through the defense of the
Speaker 1: women who were victims of Bill Clinton and then all
Speaker 1: the blasphemy that came from his wife, Hillary Clinton. So
Speaker 1: someone who stood up for the rights of women who
Speaker 1: have been sexually harassed and have the proof of it,
Speaker 1: and then this woman to use it. I mean, it
Speaker 1: is really disgusting for her to make these fake claims,
Speaker 1: and I would think that other women that have been
Speaker 1: truly sexually harassed would be completely inflamed and outraged by
Speaker 1: her use of this word. It's it's it's It does
Speaker 1: kind of suck to get a text from my son, was,
Speaker 1: you know, now living off in college? Hey dad, what's this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's going on? But that, But to his credit, he
Speaker 1: actually said in the same thing. He goes, I'm so sorry,
Speaker 1: He goes, is there anything I can do? He writes, Um,
Speaker 1: I know you're innocence right, didn't even But how sad
Speaker 1: is it that all these outlets that have sad my
Speaker 1: son is having a text it to him. But New
Speaker 1: York Times, HuffPo, these are people who have done research
Speaker 1: many times. They could have gone on a simple Google
Speaker 1: Search and found out all about her without any help
Speaker 1: from anybody. But they chose if it's me or any
Speaker 1: conservative or anybody that's that's been supportive of the president
Speaker 1: and his policies, it's just we got them. It's not
Speaker 1: is it true, it's we've got him, and you know it,
Speaker 1: really it doesn't you know, how do I explain? I've
Speaker 1: had my buddy Rich Lotion from high school called me
Speaker 1: today because a man, you are right. Oh god, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. I'm so sorry. I don't like Rich, I said,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I don't know how you do it. I
Speaker 1: don't know how do you put up with us? How
Speaker 1: do it? I'm like, I've been dealing with this in
Speaker 1: one form or another for thirty years. And you know,
Speaker 1: and that's the other thing. All these media people have
Speaker 1: they have researched me to death. There's nothing that that
Speaker 1: I have that over the years that they don't know about.
Speaker 1: And then they've printed it, reprinted it and reprinted it,
Speaker 1: and rewind and retweeted it. And I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous. But I am appreciative of the you know,
Speaker 1: I think people are hip now to all of this,
Speaker 1: and I think people understand it. But you know the
Speaker 1: scary part, Well, what if it was what if the
Speaker 1: person didn't have a a decade plus history of smearing me,
Speaker 1: lying about me? You know, now I got a start
Speaker 1: from scratch and say it's not true, and in light
Speaker 1: of other people, they're gonna accuse me and just believe it.
Speaker 1: I think people who falsely accused individuals of sexual harassment
Speaker 1: and use this and accuse women what should also then
Speaker 1: be held to the same sentencing that the person who
Speaker 1: was falsely accused would have been held to. How do
Speaker 1: you think all these cops now, think of all the
Speaker 1: instances in my life where I didn't rush to judgment.
Speaker 1: Richard Jewel, Atlanta, he fit the profile of a lone
Speaker 1: killer because he lives this mother. That's what the that's
Speaker 1: what the how they reported it. Or in the in
Speaker 1: the case of Ferguson, Missouri, hands up, don't shoot lie
Speaker 1: or Freddie Gray or I didn't rush to judgment like
Speaker 1: Obama did in all of these cases Baltimore, Ferguson, the
Speaker 1: Harvard police acted stupidly, and I'd look like trey Von
Speaker 1: and you know that could have been my son. And
Speaker 1: you know, all of these cases everyone rushes to judgment.
Speaker 1: Think of the cops. You know, I have the ability
Speaker 1: that most people don't have. I have a microphone, I'm
Speaker 1: on TV. I can fight back. By the way, I
Speaker 1: don't understand why other people don't fight back. I now
Speaker 1: have on retainer a team of the brightest, best, smartest
Speaker 1: people that are going after anybody that slanders me from
Speaker 1: now on. And I mean we are we this is
Speaker 1: and I have the means to protect myself. I have
Speaker 1: the ability. And you know who these people are. We
Speaker 1: haven't announced it yet. You know this is not inexpensive.
Speaker 1: I have the ability to defend myself. We've got his
Speaker 1: rarely investigators on our team that have done this their
Speaker 1: entire career. This is how serious I'm gonna take it,
Speaker 1: because I feel at this point this was a kill shot.
Speaker 1: This this was and by the way, that means you're
Speaker 1: out of work. Jason's out of work, Ethan's out of work,
Speaker 1: Sweet babies out of work. Sunshine over there is out
Speaker 1: of work. And everybody at TV probably isn't out of work,
Speaker 1: but maybe some are. And you know many of a
Speaker 1: lot of these are kids that have rents they gotta pay.
Speaker 1: And this little closet that they live in New York City,
Speaker 1: So it's serious. Um, but I don't I'm not a warrior.
Speaker 1: Did you ever see me get even bad and eyelash?
Speaker 1: I don't worry. I get because you were tired. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I only get mad because I'm tired. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get back to our phones. Uh, let's say, Oh, my buddy,
Speaker 1: Johnny g of Tommy James and the shan Dels. What's up, sir?
Speaker 1: How are you? How are you showing? Great to speak
Speaker 1: with you again, buddy, And I'm good to talk to you,
Speaker 1: my friend. You guys still touring or what? Yes? We are.
Speaker 1: We're going out to uh, California this weekend. Palm Springs
Speaker 1: has played the Stagecoach Festival. We've got three days of music.
Speaker 1: How many years have you been at the seriously? Yeah? Hey,
Speaker 1: you know I gotta be played with Uh He's on
Speaker 1: right after us. You know what I'm saying, that's good
Speaker 1: for you. You know what, when you find something you
Speaker 1: love to do, and I don't think there's anything more
Speaker 1: satisfying than being before an audience of people that like you.
Speaker 1: Is there anything better than that? You know? That is
Speaker 1: the gift. That's better than a million dollars. Seriously, right,
Speaker 1: Nelson is going to be on right after us. So
Speaker 1: I've been to ask you want me to get something
Speaker 1: problem for you? Who's who's on after you? No, I
Speaker 1: don't want what Willie Nelson's offering. Thank you very much. Listen,
Speaker 1: That's all I need is that headline. Hannedy hangs with
Speaker 1: Willie Nelson in bus details at eleven. Hannity wobbles off
Speaker 1: bus details at six. Seriously on, let me let me
Speaker 1: just take a quick opportunity here, seriously to thank you
Speaker 1: so much as one of your biggest fans with tens
Speaker 1: of millions of us. You work so hard at this
Speaker 1: every day, keeping up with this stuff. I don't know
Speaker 1: how you do it. I mean, it's it's complicated. And
Speaker 1: Johnny g you love music, right, yes, I do. By
Speaker 1: the way, I love music too, but I have I'm
Speaker 1: tone deaf and I can't play musical instrument. And even
Speaker 1: the piano teacher said, after one lesson, I don't want
Speaker 1: to teach this kid. That's a true story. And uh
Speaker 1: so you know I this is what I do that
Speaker 1: you you play music. I love what I do. You
Speaker 1: love what you do. We're blessed to do what we love, right.
Speaker 1: But you know, I also like following the politics, which
Speaker 1: is really the changing of our society, and you help
Speaker 1: keep us up on that every day. And this is
Speaker 1: a war ship, Sean, you know it really is. The
Speaker 1: other side wants their philosophy to rule and we we
Speaker 1: want not necessarily ours, but we believe in our the ideology.
Speaker 1: And when you say people don't fight back, the reason
Speaker 1: is they're afraid they want to. It's easier to just
Speaker 1: go along if if this is what they think the
Speaker 1: group is. And why are people brainwashed like that? Three
Speaker 1: things school run by liberals a lot the news media
Speaker 1: with the exception of Fox, and the entertainment business my business.
Speaker 1: Everybody feels how many musicians call me after they hear
Speaker 1: me on your show and they go, oh, I love Hannity.
Speaker 1: I listened to him every day. But don't tell anybody.
Speaker 1: Isn't that I love the I've been in events you
Speaker 1: know where liberals are going. I really love your show.
Speaker 1: But God, don't let anybody know I like you? Right,
Speaker 1: So how do we turn that around? That? You know,
Speaker 1: we could all get a look. I have liberal friends
Speaker 1: like you have, Bob Beckel and I love my liberal friends,
Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, I like some of the ideas
Speaker 1: that they do have not a lot, but you know,
Speaker 1: I don't like the Republicans weakness, like Paul Ryan and
Speaker 1: some of these Republicans who they claimed they will have
Speaker 1: to get rid of Obamacare. They voted to repeal it
Speaker 1: right under Obama, knowing that he would veto it. It
Speaker 1: was a show vote, I found out. It's all of
Speaker 1: them were so all sixty of them more show votes. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you something, having an audience. You
Speaker 1: know what this is like as a musician, having a
Speaker 1: group of people that support you is amazing. Um, I
Speaker 1: wish I felt better. I just I got sick from
Speaker 1: the trip to Israel, and uh I I wish I
Speaker 1: could thank and catch up with all the emails and
Speaker 1: texts that so many people have sent me. People. You know,
Speaker 1: you learn a lot about things in life when when
Speaker 1: people think that you're down and hurt or wounded. And
Speaker 1: what I've learned is I have a lot of friends
Speaker 1: that have a lot of faith in me, and that
Speaker 1: I have a big obligation to live up to to
Speaker 1: the person that they want me to be. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're part of our life every day show,
Speaker 1: so it is kind of like your family in a way.
Speaker 1: And don't ever stop fighting. I know they're trying to
Speaker 1: take you down. I'm concerned about Fox News. I think
Speaker 1: that since Roger Ale's left, it seems like it's heading
Speaker 1: towards becoming CNN. Oh god, no, not well. First of all,
Speaker 1: Tucker is not a liberal Number one, number two, the Five.
Speaker 1: I mean, they got Peckel on the Five, but he's
Speaker 1: pretty entertaining, you got to admit. And I'm proud of
Speaker 1: those guys. I've been a fan of their's from the
Speaker 1: day they went on the air and and I'm still here.
Speaker 1: And uh, although they went for the kill shop, but
Speaker 1: you're right. We are family and we're not perfect. Nobody's perfect.
Speaker 1: And I just appreciate how people have been to me
Speaker 1: in these last you know, a few days. That really
Speaker 1: means a lot. I gotta run, Johnny j love you man.
Speaker 1: All the best to you guys, and maybe I'll catch
Speaker 1: out on the road one day. There'd be a lot
Speaker 1: of fun
