Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Normally, normally
hear me on our big flagship station seven ten w
R in New York. Sewan will be back tomorrow. We're
going to talk to Curtis Sliwa, who we'd like to
see become the next mayor of New York. We're not
gonna talk to him now because.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well, I'm here's here's a problem. It's not a problem.
It's a good problem. Curtis Sliwa has today opened his
eleventh campaign headquarters today in Queens. So he told me
when I called, it may take once or twice. So
we've called about seventeen times. We're gonna keep trying and
we'll get them one.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
All right, we'll get it. We'll find them. You know,
you know you got three candidates. Now you've got the
communist socialist wacko mom, Donnie, Mom, Donnie.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Or me Donnie, it's easier or is.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Al Sharpton called him, man, dammy, No, that's what he
called them.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm aware, thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
So we got the communist socialist, or you got Andrew Cuomo,
who was a disaster as governor, caused the crime wave
with his no bail no jail. He closed a lot
of prisons, let the prisoners out. He redid the parole
board with all these left wing wackos that let out
all the prisoners, including forty six cop killers. He closed
(01:25):
Indian Point that was twenty five percent of our power.
That nuclear plan, I mean, I can go down. All
this did more to screw up things. So you got
the communist, you got the bumbling, awful governor, and then
you got Curtis Sliwa, who we'd like to see get elected.
And we're going to talk to Curtis.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But in the interim, if you like, we do have
a beautifully compiled montage by our illustrious engineer Ethan of
Kami Donnie.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Oh yeah, this is mom Dommy. Now he's a great talker.
You see him in these two Dona. He's good in
the debate because he talks like this. He talks very fast,
and he talks very quickly. And when a guy talks
this best, you think he must be very smart. Then
Pomo comes down and goes, mister Mom, Donnie is uh
uh has failed policy, talks so slow, and Curtis is
(02:12):
the problem. The race will probably be decided this Thursday
night in two days, the first mayoral debate will take place.
Donnie's a good debater. Curtis is a professional debater for
thirty five years. Cuomo talks very slow, and I think
he's gonna have a problem. He's gonna look very weak
compared to these two guys. Now, what Curtis needs to do,
(02:35):
He's gonna have to land some real knockout punches and
that could change the whole race. I don't know if
he can do it, but he's going to try. But
if you don't know this, mom, Donnie, take a listen
to this wacko and what he sounds like.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Dose, I just make you uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Like the phrase globaliz intifada from the river to the sea,
does that make you come uncomfortable?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I know people for whom those things mean very different things.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
And to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many
is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights. In
standing up for palicy and human rights.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
I am in favor of defunding the police. As mayor
New York City would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. And then it
comes to making buses free and universal childcare, increasing the
top corporate tax rate of New York to match that
of New Jersey that raises five billion dollars and increasing
income taxes on the top one percent of New Yorkers
who make a million dollars or more a year by
two percent.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
City run grocery stores.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
I've proposed a pilot program of one store in each borough.
These are five stores in total. The total cost of
this is sixty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Do you like capitalism?
Speaker 7 (03:33):
No, I have many critiques of capitalism.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You're a proud democratic socialist. Do you think that is
a platform that would work for other candidates running in
other parts of the country.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
So violence is an artificial construction. I have to be
very clear what is happening here the attorneys that is violence.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I don't think that we should have billionaire because, frankly,
it is so much money. We have to continue to
elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we
are unapologetic about our socialists. But then there are also
other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS
right or whether it's the end goal of seizing the
(04:18):
means of production.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Do you condemn that phrase globalize the intifada.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
That's not language that I use.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
If we want to end the housing crisis, the solution
has to be moving toward the full decommodification of housing.
We have a budget of close to six billion dollars
for the New York City Police Department, and that is
an astronomical figure. I think in this first year we
need to take a billion dollars out of that budget,
and I think that we need to reinvest that money
(04:46):
into social services. Would life be better if we just
abolish private property and transformed our society into a more collective,
egalitarian one.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I think it probably would be better.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Our prisons absolutely.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
What pers do they serve?
Speaker 8 (05:02):
Forget the extremists, It's simple. No one haunts with an
assault rifle. No one needs ten bullets to kill a deer.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Uh, that's not much of a choice. That's why you
gotta vote for Curtis Lee. When you see this, Mam
Donnie sounds very smart to a lot of people. He says,
like the way Tomaun of housing. He said, we have
to end the decommodification of housing. The commodification of housing
must end. It sounds brilliant. I don't know what the
hell it means. I don't know what is that. I
don't even know what it is, but it sure sounds smart.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Now, you do know he lives in a rent control apartment. Yeah,
the commodification sees you're working up beautifully for him.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah. So next time you talk to a real estate
broker about a house, you say, is this commodified or
it's not commodified. I don't know what it is, but
you know. And everything he's saying is impossible. The free buses.
The Mayor of New York has absolutely no authority over
the buses. They're run by the state, by the MTA.
Everything he's proposed and can't do and hear on crime fighting,
(06:10):
crime is racist, prisons, everything he doesn't want to arrest.
The only person wants to arrest is not Yahoo. He
has said he will arrest Benjamin Nutt Yahoo if he
comes to New York. I mean, it's just absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
But think of it this way. This is a man
who is saying the most important thing to him is
equal rights for all, And then he says for the
people of Palestine. I'm like, but that's not for all.
For all is for all? He will writes for every
He doesn't give a rip about anybody else.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, I'm talking about all the bad things. But I
forgot to mention he's a total anti Semite. Hates his Yeah,
total anti.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
He's an anti Semite, he's an anti Christian, he's anti American.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, hates everything and everybody. But he talks very fast,
and he talks to you little kinds of fancy words
like the commodification of housing. And it sounds like he and.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
His stupid wife is praising, you know, Palestinian leaders and
members of Hamas and mourning their death. Oh my god,
this be a lovely household.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And like most socialists, but they call him Champagne socialists,
he lives like a king. The family has an incredible
not even the state, a compound of the states, and
a very wealthy guy. But that's how socialism works. They
have everything, you have nothing, and gotta stop this guy.
(07:22):
I think it'll happen Thursday, and I have a feeling
Curtis is ready. He will hopefully some knockout punches in
that debate. Now, the problem is it's on Channel four
here in New York, which is local television. Nobody watches
that anymore. Say a Curtis has to be dazzling in
the debate. Then, b you gotta hope it goes viral
so people.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
See see now, why doesn't the New York Post stream
that on their website? Like if New York Post stream that,
I would watch it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, well, I'm sure it'll be on YouTube. It'll stream
on YouTube and other places. But you gotta hope, and
nobody watches a whole debate anymore. You gotta hope this
great moments and the clips go viral. Now down, of course,
Sharpman would say, man, dammy, what he does now? He
talks real fast and gets into these word salads. Not
(08:09):
the drunken Kamala Harris word salad, but a very skillful
word salad. So it sounds like he's answering, but he doesn't.
He's agreed to do a Fox interview Fox News. That's
the first time he's ever gone into the lions den.
I don't know what his strategy is. He may want
them to beat him up because with his crowd, if
(08:32):
Fox gives him a hard time, it helps him. He'd
like to get into a battle with Trump because with
his voters, that would help him. But hey, the other
thing this hour, at any moment, we might cut away
to the white House because Charlie Kirk is being honored today.
He's getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Today would have
been his thirty second birthday. This is going to be
(08:53):
in the East Room of the White House. They've decided
to move it outside to the Rose Garden and we'll
bring it to you live when it happens. Many many
people assembled out there, but there's a lot of people coming,
a lot of dignitaries, a lot of famous people, so
they're a little delayed. It was supposed to happen at
four o'clock. Yeah, so we'll take a break. If it happens,
we'll bring it to you here, but it'd be a
(09:13):
great moment today. It's Mark Simone here for Sean Handity.
Make sure you follow me on Instagram. Mark Simone NYC
at Instagram or also Twitter. We'll be back next hopefully
we'll have Curtis and the Charlie Kirk tribute coming up
on the Sean Hannity Show. Hey, it's Mark Simone here
for Sean Hannity. We're gonna cut to the White House
at some point. Big ceremony today to honor Charlie Kirk.
(09:36):
It would have been his thirty second birthday, he'll get
the Presidential Medal of Freedom. A lot of people are there.
They've moved it outside because the sun is shining. Looks
like a beautiful day in Washington. They'll have it at
the new Rose Garden, which was just a lot of grass,
and every time they'd have two hundred people stand on
it, it would ruin the grass and it'd be a mess.
(09:58):
Some days it'd be raining and mouddy and President Trump.
If you watch the fake news, they said he paved
it over, he put the time, paved it over with cement. No,
it's the most beautiful tile. Looks like beautiful marble. It's
really well done. It's the type of deck they have
like they have in marks the drains. It's surrounded by drains.
(10:21):
You know, if you don't know what you're doing, you
put a few drains in. If you know what you're doing,
you put hundreds of drains in so it never floods.
And they're not just regular drains. Google this, Google Rose
Garden drains. Take a look where the slits are in
the drain. Trump had these specially made their American flags
in the drain. American flags. They're absolutely beautiful magnificent and
(10:44):
now they can have these. You know, you're inviting world
leaders to the White House for various events, you need
it to look incredible. You know, when he went to
England with the dinner with Prince Charles, do you see
what that room look like? It was amazing. Made the
East room look like a seven to eleven or something.
It was amazing. So he's trying to do this at
the White House. He's going to add a ballroom, the
(11:07):
most magnificent ballroom you've ever seen. I know, I know
Democrats get all upset by this stuff, but you can't.
It's the White House. It's got to be like a
world class place. It can't be less like some municipal building.
But so, Linda, what's going on. It's going to be
a while, right.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I think it's going to be a minute. I mean,
Eric at Kirk, Charlie's widow only arrived at the White
House at about quarter to four. It was supposed to
start at four, So I think they'll probably be out
there in the next you know, ten to fifteen minutes,
and when they do, we will go to it. But
you know, I just there's no reason for us to
go to it, right, now we're just watching a bunch
of folks find their seats and all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
One of the problems, if I may be Frank, is
normally you'd go to the White House, you meet the President,
he'd show you something like, hey, look at this, and yeah, yeah,
it's just a little conversation started. The President since he
got there, has been decorating the White House with the
Oval Office. There's so many things. He's got four hundred
portraits on the wall, he's got all kinds of souvenirs things,
he's got the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Well, as Katie pointed out, on the Wall of Fame,
we have one very special.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, yeah, that's later. But in the Oval Office, he
starts showing you stuff on the walls and there's like
seventy five things. Now that takes an hour. Then there's
this outside, there's that long corridor from the West Wing
from the Oval Office, and it's just a white wall.
You know you always saw president of Well, now he
put portraits of every president on there, and he's adjusted
(12:32):
the height of them so like as it gets to him,
it's a little higher on the wall. And the final
one is you think it's going to be Joe Biden.
It's an auto pen, an actual auto pen portrait. So
that's what delays these ceremonies. Instead of the two things
they'll show you in the Oval office, now there's four
hundred things before you even get there. And it's still
going to be a great day and a great tribute
(12:54):
to Charlie Kirk, well deserved. You know what he did.
You think about it is the whole idea of on
the college campus is you start debate, you hear both
sides of the issue. That's what you're supposed to get
when you go to college. That's what you're paying for
your kid to have in college. Years ago, they eliminated
all of that. They just became in doctrination camps. So
Charlie Kirk was trying to do what the colleges should
(13:16):
have been doing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
But also what was interesting about Charlie Kirk was that
when he had debate, and this is one of the
things that I loved about what he did was he
was like, Okay, yeah, sure, prove me wrong. Tell me
where I went wrong. Tell me where I was racist,
Tell me where I was fascist, Tell me where I
said something that wasn't true. The problem with liberals, you know,
as a rule, in my opinion is they come into
the conversation with their talking points and they don't deviate.
(13:40):
Those are the talking points. Like I'm hoping Thursday, Curtis
Sliwa says to you know, mister, I suffered my whole life,
Well how did you suffer? Because last time I checked,
you come from money, you live in a rent controlled apartment.
You don't know anything about running a business, you know.
I mean, he really knows very little about very little.
So I'm very curus there he is to see a
(14:00):
real question asked and have a real debate, But there
never is with liberals. They have one set of like
talking points and that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
No, they're not really into debating. And normally if you
say something they don't agree with, you say, well I
think Trump's doing a good job. They're like pitpolls all
of a sudden screaming at you.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But there's a great point when someone says, I can't
believe that you voted for Trump. He's such a racist.
I always do the same thing he is. Oh my god,
I had no idea. Can you tell me what he did?
I would never want to vote for a racist. And
then they flip out that you're asking them to support
their argument. They're not interested in supporting their argument. They're
not interested in facts.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
No, but they watch MSNBC. They got all these fake
arguments that can quote to you. So we'll take a
break and then hopefully we'll bring you to Charlie Kirk,
and then we'll get Curtis at some point. We hope
he's still not answering.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, like I said, he's at a brand new campaign headquarters.
God bless him. It's his eleventh Yeah, and he's in
Queen's and it's just go and write the voicemail. But
I will keep trying to get him because he was very,
very excited to talk to you. In fact, I think
he's calling me now.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
All right, there he is. You see, we'll get him.
We'll get Curtis on the air. He's the guy we
want to win, so we'll talk to him. I don't know.
We'll probably have Charlie Kirk's ceremony when we come back,
and then at some point we'll get to Curtis on
the show. It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Make
sure you watch Hannity every night at nine o'clock on
the Fox News channel, and of course check out the
(15:27):
website Hannity dot com. Always great stories up there Hannity
dot com. And you can check out my website, Mark
Simone dot com or follow me on Twitter, x, Instagram, Facebook,
all that stuff back in a moment, The Sean Hannity
Show will continue.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Now that we made some money for our sponsors, let's
go back to making the liberals crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
The handman is back on the radio right now.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. We're gonna
bring you the ceremony that will take place probably moments
the White House, the Rose Garden honoring Charlie Kirk. It'll
be a big event at Barack Obama doing a lot
of podcasts. Linda, have you had him on your podcast?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I can't wait to have him on.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Oh where do people find your podcast?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
At the Rogue Recap? Oh, okay, at Rogue Recap on X,
at Linda Mick on X. And you can find me
on the iHeart platform or wherever find podcasts.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Or listened to very good podcast If I were Obama,
I would do it, but instead he goes on the
WTF podcast, which stands for you can fill in the blanks.
That's Mark Marin's podcast. Did you see the video of Obama?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
He look very weird, dude, He's always looked weird, but
even weirder.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He's like all curled up and got his knees up
in his chest and his arms all folded, and he's.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
In the field position. He's afraid of Michelle.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
It could be what it is. Take a listen, Take
a listen. He's accusing Trump of everything.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Here that is inherently corrupting.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
And so when you now start seeing the politicization of
the military deliberately, right, we just landed in Chicago. That,
uh what when you have what what looks like a
deliberate and run around not just a concept, but a
(17:25):
law that's been around for a long time posse comitatus
that says, yeah, you don't use our military on domestic
soil unless there is an extraordinary emergency of some sort.
That when when you see an administration suggests that ordinary
(17:49):
street crime is an insurrection or.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
A terroristack or a terrorist.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Ackte that is a genuine effort to weaken how we
have understood democracy. We don't want, uh, you know, kangaroo
courts and trumped up charges. That's what happens in other
places that we used to scold yeah for doing that.
(18:19):
You know, we want like our court system and our
Justice Department and our prosecutors to be and our FBI
to be just playing things straight and looking at the
facts and not meddling in politics the way the way
we've seen later lately.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
This is a great podcast, by the way, for liberals,
because with liberals, you just got to sound very intelligent.
You sound very thoughtful and intelligent, as if you're saying
something brilliant. Now, everything he's saying is a little of
crappy you have. There's never been a case, But can.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I can I make a point? I just got to
say something as somebody who takes the subway, as somebody
who lives in a city, and I'm watching these testimonials
from all of the cities that the president is going
into with the National Guard, whether it's Chicago, whether it's Portland,
whether it's Memphis, and each of these people. I saw
this guy yesterday. He goes, this is the first time
I've had my children out on their bikes. I've been
(19:19):
able to walk the dog without being afraid of being shot.
So maybe Barack Obama and his thirteen Secret Service people
are not feeling the same things that the everyday person
is feeling, because that's not everyday crime. That's not these
people are feeling.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
So he doesn't believe now when he says we've never
seen the military sent into an America, well we have
a million times.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Tim Walls, National Guard, COVID lockdowns. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
The most famous, greatest example ever was John F. Kennedy
sent troops, seventeen thousand military troops into the Southern States
to integrate the schools. Remember the southern governors, Lestermattox, George
Wallace would not let black kids go to college. Kennedy
sent the military seventeen thousand troops.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But you don't have to go back that far. If
you go back five years to COVID twenty twenty, when
they were trying to tell us all the things that
they wanted to tell us about the FAUCI fraud virus,
they locked us down. Andy, you came out of your house,
they may sure.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
To let you know, well you should be locked down.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I think, oh, listen, you know, uh, Well, you can go.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Back two years when the subway crime was at a bad,
bad time and the governor of New York sent the
National Guard down into the subway, and everybody said, thank god.
These same Democrats, but now they talk very Obama like slow,
and sound like they're very thoughtful. You ever watch at MSNBC,
They try to make it look like you're watching some
(20:43):
sort of distinguished panel. They've all got bow ties and
glasses and they all look like these learned research. Every
one of these people, they've all been in some scandal.
Mike Barnacle was in a plagiarism scandal. The business guy
Ratner was in another scandal. Band from certain industries. Al
Sharpton is sitting there, do I have to say more
(21:05):
the worst collection of characters, but they play a part.
Where is this Rose Garden ceremony? This is taking a
long time.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I will tell you it's full. Everyone is in their seats.
I just think that the president is probably taking a
few moments with Erica Kirk in her family and then
he will be out.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
That could take a while. Now there's some liberals that
they do have logic style, so they take Bill Maher. Now,
he's a left wing liberal, obviously, but he can be
very logical at times, and he can be very honest.
Listen to this.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
I always say this, You cannot ever deny success. You
just have to give your respect, even if it's not
your thing. Don't have the humility to give it up
for enormous success on any level.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Trump not my choice, didn't vote for him, but so
loud that people did. And he's.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
I can't deny this success. I can't either. Yeah, and
he's the president. And he's the president.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Well, that wasn't easy for him to say, you want
to take the break first, or you want to Okay, Well,
we're going to bring you the Charlie Kirk Medal of
Freedom ceremony in just a moment on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh, we can go to it now, Absolutely, go to it.
What about the break, I don't have to worry about
the break. We'll blow the break.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Wow, President Trump at the Rose Garden.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, please be seated.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Charlie Crook's widow, Erica.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
This is the first time we've been at the new
and improved Rose Garden, and people are loving it.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
They're loving it like they've not loved a lot of things.
We have the.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
Presidential Walk of Fame, which you just saw, and uh
I just opened and we wanted to get it open
for this occasion. We were hoping we were able to
get outside, and the weather allowed us to. They're supposed
to be terrible rainy day. I was telling Eric, and
God was watching it, and he didn't want that for Charlie.
He just didn't want that. So it's really beautiful. Couldn't
(23:09):
be more beautiful. Today we're here to honor and remember
a fearless warrior for liberty, beloved leader who galvanized the
next generation like nobody I've ever seen before, and an
American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality, and
the highest caliber, the late great Charlie Kirk. Five weeks ago,
(23:40):
our nation was robbed of this extraordinary champion.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
He was a champion in every way. I got to
know him so well.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
He didn't like losing, and he was able to fight
people that were enemies, and he didn't necessarily love those
enemies so much. And I heard of his enemies and
I said, wait a minute, is that the same Charlie
that I know?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I'm not sure, but I didn't want to get into it.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
But it was a horrible, heinous, demonic act of murder.
He was assassinated in the prime of his life, for
boldly speaking the truth, for living his faith and relentlessly
fighting for a better and stronger America. Loved this country,
and that's why this afternoon, it's my privilege to posthumously
(24:30):
award Charles James Kirk R. Nation's highest civilian honor, the
Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
As you know, only hours ago, I returned from a
very historic trip to secure peace in the Middle East.
People said that couldn't be done. Charlie felt it could
be done. Charlie felt it could be done. Thank you,
thank you, thank you very much. But I raced back
(25:13):
halfway around at the Globe. I was going to call
Eric and say, Erica, could you maybe move it to Friday?
And I didn't have the courage to call. But you
know why I didn't call because I heard today was
Charlie's birthday. And I said, you know, now, that was
a definite. And I said, we're going to have to
forget about some of those very big, very rich countries
(25:35):
that expected me to be there. And I can tell
you based on the length of that flight, I wouldn't
want to go back tomorrow. But I would not have
missed this moment for anything in the world nothing, and
it's a very important time for our country.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And our country is doing so well. It's never done better.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
We are a country with almost now eighteen three dollars
of investment coming in. Nobody's ever seen anything like that.
Previous administration had less than a trillion for four years.
We have more than eighteen. It'll be much more than
twenty by the time the more than twenty trillion dollars.
Has never been a country in the world that had
(26:15):
anything like that. What's happened to our country is incredible
in a short period of time. Charlie was a big
person for sir, could we close up those borders please
a little bit? You know, they're really leaking badly, I said, Charlie.
I haven't gotten there yet, but you know it came
out last four months. Literally nobody was allowed into our
(26:36):
country and the only people that were allowed in were
people that came in legally. The borders are absolutely stone
cold closed and they.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Reported zero zero, zero and zero, so that's pretty good.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
But he was a big believer. He wanted people in
the country more than I did. Frankly, he wanted them
to come in legally, and he got his wish October
fourteenth is Charlie's birthday, and he should have been turning
thirty two years all that day. I never When I
first met him, he was like twenty two, and I said, boy,
(27:13):
he's awfully young.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
But I thought he was older than that. You know,
he looked a little bit older than his age. That's okay.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
You know, that's not good when you're old, but when
you're young, it's great. He had the best of all things,
but he was special. But instead, Charlie is attaining a
far more important milestone. We're entering his name forever into
the eternal roster of true American heroes. He's a true
American hero, an amazing person, way way beyond his years.
(27:43):
And I'm honored to be joined by a woman who
has endured unspeakable hardship with unbelievable strength.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
And that's Charlie's widow, Erica. And I just want to
thank you, Erica. He loved you so much. I was
with him. Please, thank you, darn thank you. I was
(28:13):
with him.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
Before I met Erica, and he told me he was
going to get married. He said, you won't believe how
beautiful she is. I said, well, then, now that I
meet he's right. But then he also said, and you
know what, she's like the smartest person I know. See,
they do go together on occasion, not of it, not
(28:36):
off it, but on occasion they go together.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
But he was in love with you. He was deeply
in love with you.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
It's great, Erica, your love and courage have been an
inspiration to all of us. And we will always be
here for you, and we're always going to be here
for your gorgeous, beautiful children, and we'll never forget what
your family sacrificed for our country. Man loved our country.
(29:05):
When things were going badly for our country, he was
so as you know, angry. We get angry because he said,
it doesn't have to be that way. We're also pleased
to be joined by an incredible group of Charlie's friends,
very powerful friends actually, and some not so powerful. And
there were actually better people, Okay, I know, well the
(29:26):
less powerful ones.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I have to tell you that, all of you power
guys down.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Here, the best ones in the group are the ones
that are less successful.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
But that happens to you.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Now.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
They're all great and they're here. And let's start with
Erica's father. Where is Eric's father? Where are you where
are you dead? Oh? Look at him. Well, I want
to get a hat like that too.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I like that they stations along le Sean heading network.
We're not going to take the break. We're going to
continue to bring you this ceremony.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
How are you nice to see again?
Speaker 9 (29:59):
Thanks as well to Vice President jd Vance, who's been fantastic.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Jd thank you very much, great doing a great job.
Did a great.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Job on Sunday with George Slapadopolis put him away pretty good.
Second lady who's a phenomenal woman, Usha Vantz, thank you
very much, Yusha, thank you very much, great woman. President
of Argentina. He wanted to be here. That's Argentina is
(30:33):
a serious flight, right and he's become a superstar and
he's doing amazing things. He's a maga person. But it's
make Argentina great again. That's what he does right and
I want you to stand please, Javier jave M Relay,
doing a great job.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Many members of my cabinet are here, just about all
of them here. I won't go into every single one
of them, but I'll announce a few of the people
that have really turned this country around and helped me
incredible people. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is Mike,
what a job you're doing.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Mike, what a job you're doing.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
And I watched you this morning and you're in there
trying to say, look, just let the country open, everything
will be fine. Who are dealing with some radical left lunatics.
And I would just wish Charlie was here to fight us.
I think the fight would have been over already. He
would have had a march on the Capitol by people
(31:39):
whose average age is about twenty one, because there's nobody
that had that relationship with young people, right, Mike.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So thank you Mike for being here.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Steve, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Brave, a brave guy and a friend. House Majority Whip.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
Another terrific man, Tom Emmer, Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
John, thank you very much. Oh yeah, all these senators
I'm going to get in trouble. I'm not going to
read all their names. I'll be reading all day. We'll
be talking about Charlie in about forty five minutes from now.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
We can't do that.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
So all of the senators, there's so many of you,
Thank you, very much. I do want to thank Senator
Thune for doing a terrific job. He's really been leading properly.
Do you agree, Mike. The team of the two of
these guys have been fantastic. So to Senator Thune, I
want to thank you very much. Incredible job. Watch him
this morning and he was out there pounding him this
(32:42):
morning on television two. And John Barrasso, thank you for
the work you've done and congratulations and your success. But
I want to thank you all in all of the
congress people.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
That are here.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
And I see we have our Attorney general here, so
and you are doing a fantastic job. Thank you very much. Pamp,
thank you, thank you very much. We have everybody. Wow,
that's a credible Okay, I'm not going to do anymore,
going to be here too long, but I just want
to thank you have given him such support, but he
(33:14):
always gave you such support.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
That's why you're here, and very unusual.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
Charles James Kirk was a visionary and one of the
greatest figures of his generation. He was truly an amazing
figure and growing leaps and vowels, he knew that the
fight to preserve our heritage is waged not only on
the battlefield and in the halls of power, of which
we have tremendous power here, including the head of a
(33:41):
place called war.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
We called now war.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
We had defense, we had our secretary of defense. Now
have a secretary of war, and somehow I think it's
more emblematic. And hopefully we'll never have to use war.
But the fact that we're ready is very good. Peace
through strength.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Is very important. But also in the hearts of our
nation's youth.
Speaker 9 (34:02):
That's where Charlie Road's strongest at age eighteen. That inside
inspired Charlie to found the organization that ultimately touched the
lives of millions and millions of people, and so many
young people that nobody's ever seen anything like it. Frankly,
turning Point USA. It's amazing, and it's actually bigger now.
(34:24):
It's become bigger in the last few weeks. And Charlie
ever thought, I think his end vision in many years
from now would have been just a fraction of what
had turned out to be in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Right, It's amazing with.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Hard work and joyful spirit and endless and enthusiasm and determination,
and he did have great enthusiasm and I always say
you need enthusiasm to be successful.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
He had great enthusiasm.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
Charlie grew Turning Point into the largest conservative youth organization
in the entire country. He forged a personal bond with
countless young conservatives.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
He fought for free speech, religious liberty.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
Strong borders, and a very strong and proud America. In
everything he did, he put America first. He really put
America first. And ultimately Charlie became more than a leader
of an important organization. He became the leader of historic
movements all over the country. There were movements, individual movements,
(35:24):
one movement, but it was historic. Everything he did was
historic and a true evangelist for the cause of freedom
and the word of Almighty God. God was very important
to Charlie. He would say, you know, if you don't
have religion, you're not going to have a strong country.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
It's true. He was so wise beyond his years.
Speaker 9 (35:45):
You know, I talked to him sometimes, I said, this
guy is like a young guy.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
He was really a wise man.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
From the time Charlie worked on my presidential campaign in
twenty sixteen, and he was there right from the beginning.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
He liked me.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
I don't know, I have no idea. What the hell
was he thinking? He said, you're gonna win, sir. I said,
you know, I'm running against seventeen senators and a lot
of tough people and governors. We have all these people.
And he said, no, you're going to win, sir. He said,
not going to be close. And he made it happen.
(36:19):
He helped make it happen. I'll tell you that without him,
who knows what would be Maybe you'd have Kamalist standing
here today. That would not be good. I will tell
you how he you don't know who Kamala is, promised
it would not be good.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Do you agree with that, Howard?
Speaker 9 (36:35):
He also mobilized countless citizens to go vote. It's called
go vote, very simple, and with his help in twenty
twenty four, we won more young people than any Republican
by far in the history of our country, and we
won the popular vote. We won the states, all seven
of them. Remember they said, oh, well, if Trump could
win four, that would be nice. I went seven, by
(36:57):
a lot, by a landslide.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Normally, normally
hear me on our big flagship station seven ten w
R in New York. Sewan will be back tomorrow. We're
going to talk to Curtis Sliwa, who we'd like to
see become the next mayor of New York. We're not
gonna talk to him now because.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well, I'm here's here's a problem. It's not a problem.
It's a good problem. Curtis Sliwa has today opened his
eleventh campaign headquarters today in Queens. So he told me
when I called, it may take once or twice. So
we've called about seventeen times. We're gonna keep trying and
we'll get them one.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
All right, we'll get it. We'll find them. You know,
you know you got three candidates. Now you've got the
communist socialist wacko mom, Donnie, Mom, Donnie.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Or me Donnie, it's easier or is.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Al Sharpton called him, man, dammy, No, that's what he
called them.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm aware, thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
So we got the communist socialist, or you got Andrew Cuomo,
who was a disaster as governor, caused the crime wave
with his no bail no jail. He closed a lot
of prisons, let the prisoners out. He redid the parole
board with all these left wing wackos that let out
all the prisoners, including forty six cop killers. He closed
(01:25):
Indian Point that was twenty five percent of our power.
That nuclear plan, I mean, I can go down. All
this did more to screw up things. So you got
the communist, you got the bumbling, awful governor, and then
you got Curtis Sliwa, who we'd like to see get elected.
And we're going to talk to Curtis.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But in the interim, if you like, we do have
a beautifully compiled montage by our illustrious engineer Ethan of
Kami Donnie.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Oh yeah, this is mom Dommy. Now he's a great talker.
You see him in these two Dona. He's good in
the debate because he talks like this. He talks very fast,
and he talks very quickly. And when a guy talks
this best, you think he must be very smart. Then
Pomo comes down and goes, mister Mom, Donnie is uh
uh has failed policy, talks so slow, and Curtis is
(02:12):
the problem. The race will probably be decided this Thursday
night in two days, the first mayoral debate will take place.
Donnie's a good debater. Curtis is a professional debater for
thirty five years. Cuomo talks very slow, and I think
he's gonna have a problem. He's gonna look very weak
compared to these two guys. Now, what Curtis needs to do,
(02:35):
He's gonna have to land some real knockout punches and
that could change the whole race. I don't know if
he can do it, but he's going to try. But
if you don't know this, mom, Donnie, take a listen
to this wacko and what he sounds like.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Dose, I just make you uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Like the phrase globaliz intifada from the river to the sea,
does that make you come uncomfortable?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I know people for whom those things mean very different things.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
And to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many
is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights. In
standing up for palicy and human rights.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
I am in favor of defunding the police. As mayor
New York City would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. And then it
comes to making buses free and universal childcare, increasing the
top corporate tax rate of New York to match that
of New Jersey that raises five billion dollars and increasing
income taxes on the top one percent of New Yorkers
who make a million dollars or more a year by
two percent.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
City run grocery stores.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
I've proposed a pilot program of one store in each borough.
These are five stores in total. The total cost of
this is sixty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Do you like capitalism?
Speaker 7 (03:33):
No, I have many critiques of capitalism.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You're a proud democratic socialist. Do you think that is
a platform that would work for other candidates running in
other parts of the country.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
So violence is an artificial construction. I have to be
very clear what is happening here the attorneys that is violence.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I don't think that we should have billionaire because, frankly,
it is so much money. We have to continue to
elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we
are unapologetic about our socialists. But then there are also
other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS
right or whether it's the end goal of seizing the
(04:18):
means of production.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Do you condemn that phrase globalize the intifada.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
That's not language that I use.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
If we want to end the housing crisis, the solution
has to be moving toward the full decommodification of housing.
We have a budget of close to six billion dollars
for the New York City Police Department, and that is
an astronomical figure. I think in this first year we
need to take a billion dollars out of that budget,
and I think that we need to reinvest that money
(04:46):
into social services. Would life be better if we just
abolish private property and transformed our society into a more collective,
egalitarian one.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I think it probably would be better.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Our prisons absolutely.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
What pers do they serve?
Speaker 8 (05:02):
Forget the extremists, It's simple. No one haunts with an
assault rifle. No one needs ten bullets to kill a deer.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Uh, that's not much of a choice. That's why you
gotta vote for Curtis Lee. When you see this, Mam
Donnie sounds very smart to a lot of people. He says,
like the way Tomaun of housing. He said, we have
to end the decommodification of housing. The commodification of housing
must end. It sounds brilliant. I don't know what the
hell it means. I don't know what is that. I
don't even know what it is, but it sure sounds smart.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Now, you do know he lives in a rent control apartment. Yeah,
the commodification sees you're working up beautifully for him.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah. So next time you talk to a real estate
broker about a house, you say, is this commodified or
it's not commodified. I don't know what it is, but
you know. And everything he's saying is impossible. The free buses.
The Mayor of New York has absolutely no authority over
the buses. They're run by the state, by the MTA.
Everything he's proposed and can't do and hear on crime fighting,
(06:10):
crime is racist, prisons, everything he doesn't want to arrest.
The only person wants to arrest is not Yahoo. He
has said he will arrest Benjamin Nutt Yahoo if he
comes to New York. I mean, it's just absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
But think of it this way. This is a man
who is saying the most important thing to him is
equal rights for all, And then he says for the
people of Palestine. I'm like, but that's not for all.
For all is for all? He will writes for every
He doesn't give a rip about anybody else.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, I'm talking about all the bad things. But I
forgot to mention he's a total anti Semite. Hates his Yeah,
total anti.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
He's an anti Semite, he's an anti Christian, he's anti American.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, hates everything and everybody. But he talks very fast,
and he talks to you little kinds of fancy words
like the commodification of housing. And it sounds like he and.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
His stupid wife is praising, you know, Palestinian leaders and
members of Hamas and mourning their death. Oh my god,
this be a lovely household.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And like most socialists, but they call him Champagne socialists,
he lives like a king. The family has an incredible
not even the state, a compound of the states, and
a very wealthy guy. But that's how socialism works. They
have everything, you have nothing, and gotta stop this guy.
(07:22):
I think it'll happen Thursday, and I have a feeling
Curtis is ready. He will hopefully some knockout punches in
that debate. Now, the problem is it's on Channel four
here in New York, which is local television. Nobody watches
that anymore. Say a Curtis has to be dazzling in
the debate. Then, b you gotta hope it goes viral
so people.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
See see now, why doesn't the New York Post stream
that on their website? Like if New York Post stream that,
I would watch it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, well, I'm sure it'll be on YouTube. It'll stream
on YouTube and other places. But you gotta hope, and
nobody watches a whole debate anymore. You gotta hope this
great moments and the clips go viral. Now down, of course,
Sharpman would say, man, dammy, what he does now? He
talks real fast and gets into these word salads. Not
(08:09):
the drunken Kamala Harris word salad, but a very skillful
word salad. So it sounds like he's answering, but he doesn't.
He's agreed to do a Fox interview Fox News. That's
the first time he's ever gone into the lions den.
I don't know what his strategy is. He may want
them to beat him up because with his crowd, if
(08:32):
Fox gives him a hard time, it helps him. He'd
like to get into a battle with Trump because with
his voters, that would help him. But hey, the other
thing this hour, at any moment, we might cut away
to the white House because Charlie Kirk is being honored today.
He's getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Today would have
been his thirty second birthday. This is going to be
(08:53):
in the East Room of the White House. They've decided
to move it outside to the Rose Garden and we'll
bring it to you live when it happens. Many many
people assembled out there, but there's a lot of people coming,
a lot of dignitaries, a lot of famous people, so
they're a little delayed. It was supposed to happen at
four o'clock. Yeah, so we'll take a break. If it happens,
we'll bring it to you here, but it'd be a
(09:13):
great moment today. It's Mark Simone here for Sean Handity.
Make sure you follow me on Instagram. Mark Simone NYC
at Instagram or also Twitter. We'll be back next hopefully
we'll have Curtis and the Charlie Kirk tribute coming up
on the Sean Hannity Show. Hey, it's Mark Simone here
for Sean Hannity. We're gonna cut to the White House
at some point. Big ceremony today to honor Charlie Kirk.
(09:36):
It would have been his thirty second birthday, he'll get
the Presidential Medal of Freedom. A lot of people are there.
They've moved it outside because the sun is shining. Looks
like a beautiful day in Washington. They'll have it at
the new Rose Garden, which was just a lot of grass,
and every time they'd have two hundred people stand on
it, it would ruin the grass and it'd be a mess.
(09:58):
Some days it'd be raining and mouddy and President Trump.
If you watch the fake news, they said he paved
it over, he put the time, paved it over with cement. No,
it's the most beautiful tile. Looks like beautiful marble. It's
really well done. It's the type of deck they have
like they have in marks the drains. It's surrounded by drains.
(10:21):
You know, if you don't know what you're doing, you
put a few drains in. If you know what you're doing,
you put hundreds of drains in so it never floods.
And they're not just regular drains. Google this, Google Rose
Garden drains. Take a look where the slits are in
the drain. Trump had these specially made their American flags
in the drain. American flags. They're absolutely beautiful magnificent and
(10:44):
now they can have these. You know, you're inviting world
leaders to the White House for various events, you need
it to look incredible. You know, when he went to
England with the dinner with Prince Charles, do you see
what that room look like? It was amazing. Made the
East room look like a seven to eleven or something.
It was amazing. So he's trying to do this at
the White House. He's going to add a ballroom, the
(11:07):
most magnificent ballroom you've ever seen. I know, I know
Democrats get all upset by this stuff, but you can't.
It's the White House. It's got to be like a
world class place. It can't be less like some municipal building.
But so, Linda, what's going on. It's going to be
a while, right.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I think it's going to be a minute. I mean,
Eric at Kirk, Charlie's widow only arrived at the White
House at about quarter to four. It was supposed to
start at four, So I think they'll probably be out
there in the next you know, ten to fifteen minutes,
and when they do, we will go to it. But
you know, I just there's no reason for us to
go to it, right, now we're just watching a bunch
of folks find their seats and all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
One of the problems, if I may be Frank, is
normally you'd go to the White House, you meet the President,
he'd show you something like, hey, look at this, and yeah, yeah,
it's just a little conversation started. The President since he
got there, has been decorating the White House with the
Oval Office. There's so many things. He's got four hundred
portraits on the wall, he's got all kinds of souvenirs things,
he's got the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Well, as Katie pointed out, on the Wall of Fame,
we have one very special.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, yeah, that's later. But in the Oval Office, he
starts showing you stuff on the walls and there's like
seventy five things. Now that takes an hour. Then there's
this outside, there's that long corridor from the West Wing
from the Oval Office, and it's just a white wall.
You know you always saw president of Well, now he
put portraits of every president on there, and he's adjusted
(12:32):
the height of them so like as it gets to him,
it's a little higher on the wall. And the final
one is you think it's going to be Joe Biden.
It's an auto pen, an actual auto pen portrait. So
that's what delays these ceremonies. Instead of the two things
they'll show you in the Oval office, now there's four
hundred things before you even get there. And it's still
going to be a great day and a great tribute
(12:54):
to Charlie Kirk, well deserved. You know what he did.
You think about it is the whole idea of on
the college campus is you start debate, you hear both
sides of the issue. That's what you're supposed to get
when you go to college. That's what you're paying for
your kid to have in college. Years ago, they eliminated
all of that. They just became in doctrination camps. So
Charlie Kirk was trying to do what the colleges should
(13:16):
have been doing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
But also what was interesting about Charlie Kirk was that
when he had debate, and this is one of the
things that I loved about what he did was he
was like, Okay, yeah, sure, prove me wrong. Tell me
where I went wrong. Tell me where I was racist,
Tell me where I was fascist, Tell me where I
said something that wasn't true. The problem with liberals, you know,
as a rule, in my opinion is they come into
the conversation with their talking points and they don't deviate.
(13:40):
Those are the talking points. Like I'm hoping Thursday, Curtis
Sliwa says to you know, mister, I suffered my whole life,
Well how did you suffer? Because last time I checked,
you come from money, you live in a rent controlled apartment.
You don't know anything about running a business, you know.
I mean, he really knows very little about very little.
So I'm very curus there he is to see a
(14:00):
real question asked and have a real debate, But there
never is with liberals. They have one set of like
talking points and that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
No, they're not really into debating. And normally if you
say something they don't agree with, you say, well I
think Trump's doing a good job. They're like pitpolls all
of a sudden screaming at you.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But there's a great point when someone says, I can't
believe that you voted for Trump. He's such a racist.
I always do the same thing he is. Oh my god,
I had no idea. Can you tell me what he did?
I would never want to vote for a racist. And
then they flip out that you're asking them to support
their argument. They're not interested in supporting their argument. They're
not interested in facts.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
No, but they watch MSNBC. They got all these fake
arguments that can quote to you. So we'll take a
break and then hopefully we'll bring you to Charlie Kirk,
and then we'll get Curtis at some point. We hope
he's still not answering.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, like I said, he's at a brand new campaign headquarters.
God bless him. It's his eleventh Yeah, and he's in
Queen's and it's just go and write the voicemail. But
I will keep trying to get him because he was very,
very excited to talk to you. In fact, I think
he's calling me now.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
All right, there he is. You see, we'll get him.
We'll get Curtis on the air. He's the guy we
want to win, so we'll talk to him. I don't know.
We'll probably have Charlie Kirk's ceremony when we come back,
and then at some point we'll get to Curtis on
the show. It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Make
sure you watch Hannity every night at nine o'clock on
the Fox News channel, and of course check out the
(15:27):
website Hannity dot com. Always great stories up there Hannity
dot com. And you can check out my website, Mark
Simone dot com or follow me on Twitter, x, Instagram, Facebook,
all that stuff back in a moment, The Sean Hannity
Show will continue.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Now that we made some money for our sponsors, let's
go back to making the liberals crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
The handman is back on the radio right now.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. We're gonna
bring you the ceremony that will take place probably moments
the White House, the Rose Garden honoring Charlie Kirk. It'll
be a big event at Barack Obama doing a lot
of podcasts. Linda, have you had him on your podcast?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I can't wait to have him on.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Oh where do people find your podcast?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
At the Rogue Recap? Oh, okay, at Rogue Recap on X,
at Linda Mick on X. And you can find me
on the iHeart platform or wherever find podcasts.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Or listened to very good podcast If I were Obama,
I would do it, but instead he goes on the
WTF podcast, which stands for you can fill in the blanks.
That's Mark Marin's podcast. Did you see the video of Obama?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
He look very weird, dude, He's always looked weird, but
even weirder.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He's like all curled up and got his knees up
in his chest and his arms all folded, and he's.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
In the field position. He's afraid of Michelle.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
It could be what it is. Take a listen, Take
a listen. He's accusing Trump of everything.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Here that is inherently corrupting.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
And so when you now start seeing the politicization of
the military deliberately, right, we just landed in Chicago. That,
uh what when you have what what looks like a
deliberate and run around not just a concept, but a
(17:25):
law that's been around for a long time posse comitatus
that says, yeah, you don't use our military on domestic
soil unless there is an extraordinary emergency of some sort.
That when when you see an administration suggests that ordinary
(17:49):
street crime is an insurrection or.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
A terroristack or a terrorist.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Ackte that is a genuine effort to weaken how we
have understood democracy. We don't want, uh, you know, kangaroo
courts and trumped up charges. That's what happens in other
places that we used to scold yeah for doing that.
(18:19):
You know, we want like our court system and our
Justice Department and our prosecutors to be and our FBI
to be just playing things straight and looking at the
facts and not meddling in politics the way the way
we've seen later lately.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
This is a great podcast, by the way, for liberals,
because with liberals, you just got to sound very intelligent.
You sound very thoughtful and intelligent, as if you're saying
something brilliant. Now, everything he's saying is a little of
crappy you have. There's never been a case, But can.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I can I make a point? I just got to
say something as somebody who takes the subway, as somebody
who lives in a city, and I'm watching these testimonials
from all of the cities that the president is going
into with the National Guard, whether it's Chicago, whether it's Portland,
whether it's Memphis, and each of these people. I saw
this guy yesterday. He goes, this is the first time
I've had my children out on their bikes. I've been
(19:19):
able to walk the dog without being afraid of being shot.
So maybe Barack Obama and his thirteen Secret Service people
are not feeling the same things that the everyday person
is feeling, because that's not everyday crime. That's not these
people are feeling.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
So he doesn't believe now when he says we've never
seen the military sent into an America, well we have
a million times.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Tim Walls, National Guard, COVID lockdowns. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
The most famous, greatest example ever was John F. Kennedy
sent troops, seventeen thousand military troops into the Southern States
to integrate the schools. Remember the southern governors, Lestermattox, George
Wallace would not let black kids go to college. Kennedy
sent the military seventeen thousand troops.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But you don't have to go back that far. If
you go back five years to COVID twenty twenty, when
they were trying to tell us all the things that
they wanted to tell us about the FAUCI fraud virus,
they locked us down. Andy, you came out of your house,
they may sure.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
To let you know, well you should be locked down.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I think, oh, listen, you know, uh, Well, you can go.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Back two years when the subway crime was at a bad,
bad time and the governor of New York sent the
National Guard down into the subway, and everybody said, thank god.
These same Democrats, but now they talk very Obama like slow,
and sound like they're very thoughtful. You ever watch at MSNBC,
They try to make it look like you're watching some
(20:43):
sort of distinguished panel. They've all got bow ties and
glasses and they all look like these learned research. Every
one of these people, they've all been in some scandal.
Mike Barnacle was in a plagiarism scandal. The business guy
Ratner was in another scandal. Band from certain industries. Al
Sharpton is sitting there, do I have to say more
(21:05):
the worst collection of characters, but they play a part.
Where is this Rose Garden ceremony? This is taking a
long time.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I will tell you it's full. Everyone is in their seats.
I just think that the president is probably taking a
few moments with Erica Kirk in her family and then
he will be out.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
That could take a while. Now there's some liberals that
they do have logic style, so they take Bill Maher. Now,
he's a left wing liberal, obviously, but he can be
very logical at times, and he can be very honest.
Listen to this.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
I always say this, You cannot ever deny success. You
just have to give your respect, even if it's not
your thing. Don't have the humility to give it up
for enormous success on any level.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Trump not my choice, didn't vote for him, but so
loud that people did. And he's.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
I can't deny this success. I can't either. Yeah, and
he's the president. And he's the president.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Well, that wasn't easy for him to say, you want
to take the break first, or you want to Okay, Well,
we're going to bring you the Charlie Kirk Medal of
Freedom ceremony in just a moment on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh, we can go to it now, Absolutely, go to it.
What about the break, I don't have to worry about
the break. We'll blow the break.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Wow, President Trump at the Rose Garden.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, please be seated.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Charlie Crook's widow, Erica.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
This is the first time we've been at the new
and improved Rose Garden, and people are loving it.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
They're loving it like they've not loved a lot of things.
We have the.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
Presidential Walk of Fame, which you just saw, and uh
I just opened and we wanted to get it open
for this occasion. We were hoping we were able to
get outside, and the weather allowed us to. They're supposed
to be terrible rainy day. I was telling Eric, and
God was watching it, and he didn't want that for Charlie.
He just didn't want that. So it's really beautiful. Couldn't
(23:09):
be more beautiful. Today we're here to honor and remember
a fearless warrior for liberty, beloved leader who galvanized the
next generation like nobody I've ever seen before, and an
American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality, and
the highest caliber, the late great Charlie Kirk. Five weeks ago,
(23:40):
our nation was robbed of this extraordinary champion.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
He was a champion in every way. I got to
know him so well.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
He didn't like losing, and he was able to fight
people that were enemies, and he didn't necessarily love those
enemies so much. And I heard of his enemies and
I said, wait a minute, is that the same Charlie
that I know?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I'm not sure, but I didn't want to get into it.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
But it was a horrible, heinous, demonic act of murder.
He was assassinated in the prime of his life, for
boldly speaking the truth, for living his faith and relentlessly
fighting for a better and stronger America. Loved this country,
and that's why this afternoon, it's my privilege to posthumously
(24:30):
award Charles James Kirk R. Nation's highest civilian honor, the
Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
As you know, only hours ago, I returned from a
very historic trip to secure peace in the Middle East.
People said that couldn't be done. Charlie felt it could
be done. Charlie felt it could be done. Thank you,
thank you, thank you very much. But I raced back
(25:13):
halfway around at the Globe. I was going to call
Eric and say, Erica, could you maybe move it to Friday?
And I didn't have the courage to call. But you
know why I didn't call because I heard today was
Charlie's birthday. And I said, you know, now, that was
a definite. And I said, we're going to have to
forget about some of those very big, very rich countries
(25:35):
that expected me to be there. And I can tell
you based on the length of that flight, I wouldn't
want to go back tomorrow. But I would not have
missed this moment for anything in the world nothing, and
it's a very important time for our country.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And our country is doing so well. It's never done better.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
We are a country with almost now eighteen three dollars
of investment coming in. Nobody's ever seen anything like that.
Previous administration had less than a trillion for four years.
We have more than eighteen. It'll be much more than
twenty by the time the more than twenty trillion dollars.
Has never been a country in the world that had
(26:15):
anything like that. What's happened to our country is incredible
in a short period of time. Charlie was a big
person for sir, could we close up those borders please
a little bit? You know, they're really leaking badly, I said, Charlie.
I haven't gotten there yet, but you know it came
out last four months. Literally nobody was allowed into our
(26:36):
country and the only people that were allowed in were
people that came in legally. The borders are absolutely stone
cold closed and they.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Reported zero zero, zero and zero, so that's pretty good.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
But he was a big believer. He wanted people in
the country more than I did. Frankly, he wanted them
to come in legally, and he got his wish October
fourteenth is Charlie's birthday, and he should have been turning
thirty two years all that day. I never When I
first met him, he was like twenty two, and I said, boy,
(27:13):
he's awfully young.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
But I thought he was older than that. You know,
he looked a little bit older than his age. That's okay.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
You know, that's not good when you're old, but when
you're young, it's great. He had the best of all things,
but he was special. But instead, Charlie is attaining a
far more important milestone. We're entering his name forever into
the eternal roster of true American heroes. He's a true
American hero, an amazing person, way way beyond his years.
(27:43):
And I'm honored to be joined by a woman who
has endured unspeakable hardship with unbelievable strength.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
And that's Charlie's widow, Erica. And I just want to
thank you, Erica. He loved you so much. I was
with him. Please, thank you, darn thank you. I was
(28:13):
with him.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
Before I met Erica, and he told me he was
going to get married. He said, you won't believe how
beautiful she is. I said, well, then, now that I
meet he's right. But then he also said, and you
know what, she's like the smartest person I know. See,
they do go together on occasion, not of it, not
(28:36):
off it, but on occasion they go together.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
But he was in love with you. He was deeply
in love with you.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
It's great, Erica, your love and courage have been an
inspiration to all of us. And we will always be
here for you, and we're always going to be here
for your gorgeous, beautiful children, and we'll never forget what
your family sacrificed for our country. Man loved our country.
(29:05):
When things were going badly for our country, he was
so as you know, angry. We get angry because he said,
it doesn't have to be that way. We're also pleased
to be joined by an incredible group of Charlie's friends,
very powerful friends actually, and some not so powerful. And
there were actually better people, Okay, I know, well the
(29:26):
less powerful ones.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I have to tell you that, all of you power
guys down.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Here, the best ones in the group are the ones
that are less successful.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
But that happens to you.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Now.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
They're all great and they're here. And let's start with
Erica's father. Where is Eric's father? Where are you where
are you dead? Oh? Look at him. Well, I want
to get a hat like that too.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I like that they stations along le Sean heading network.
We're not going to take the break. We're going to
continue to bring you this ceremony.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
How are you nice to see again?
Speaker 9 (29:59):
Thanks as well to Vice President jd Vance, who's been fantastic.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Jd thank you very much, great doing a great job.
Did a great.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Job on Sunday with George Slapadopolis put him away pretty good.
Second lady who's a phenomenal woman, Usha Vantz, thank you
very much, Yusha, thank you very much, great woman. President
of Argentina. He wanted to be here. That's Argentina is
(30:33):
a serious flight, right and he's become a superstar and
he's doing amazing things. He's a maga person. But it's
make Argentina great again. That's what he does right and
I want you to stand please, Javier jave M Relay,
doing a great job.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Many members of my cabinet are here, just about all
of them here. I won't go into every single one
of them, but I'll announce a few of the people
that have really turned this country around and helped me
incredible people. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is Mike,
what a job you're doing.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Mike, what a job you're doing.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
And I watched you this morning and you're in there
trying to say, look, just let the country open, everything
will be fine. Who are dealing with some radical left lunatics.
And I would just wish Charlie was here to fight us.
I think the fight would have been over already. He
would have had a march on the Capitol by people
(31:39):
whose average age is about twenty one, because there's nobody
that had that relationship with young people, right, Mike.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So thank you Mike for being here.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Steve, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Brave, a brave guy and a friend. House Majority Whip.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
Another terrific man, Tom Emmer, Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
John, thank you very much. Oh yeah, all these senators
I'm going to get in trouble. I'm not going to
read all their names. I'll be reading all day. We'll
be talking about Charlie in about forty five minutes from now.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
We can't do that.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
So all of the senators, there's so many of you,
Thank you, very much. I do want to thank Senator
Thune for doing a terrific job. He's really been leading properly.
Do you agree, Mike. The team of the two of
these guys have been fantastic. So to Senator Thune, I
want to thank you very much. Incredible job. Watch him
this morning and he was out there pounding him this
(32:42):
morning on television two. And John Barrasso, thank you for
the work you've done and congratulations and your success. But
I want to thank you all in all of the
congress people.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
That are here.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
And I see we have our Attorney general here, so
and you are doing a fantastic job. Thank you very much. Pamp,
thank you, thank you very much. We have everybody. Wow,
that's a credible Okay, I'm not going to do anymore,
going to be here too long, but I just want
to thank you have given him such support, but he
(33:14):
always gave you such support.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
That's why you're here, and very unusual.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
Charles James Kirk was a visionary and one of the
greatest figures of his generation. He was truly an amazing
figure and growing leaps and vowels, he knew that the
fight to preserve our heritage is waged not only on
the battlefield and in the halls of power, of which
we have tremendous power here, including the head of a
(33:41):
place called war.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
We called now war.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
We had defense, we had our secretary of defense. Now
have a secretary of war, and somehow I think it's
more emblematic. And hopefully we'll never have to use war.
But the fact that we're ready is very good. Peace
through strength.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Is very important. But also in the hearts of our
nation's youth.
Speaker 9 (34:02):
That's where Charlie Road's strongest at age eighteen. That inside
inspired Charlie to found the organization that ultimately touched the
lives of millions and millions of people, and so many
young people that nobody's ever seen anything like it. Frankly,
turning Point USA. It's amazing, and it's actually bigger now.
(34:24):
It's become bigger in the last few weeks. And Charlie
ever thought, I think his end vision in many years
from now would have been just a fraction of what
had turned out to be in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Right, It's amazing with.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Hard work and joyful spirit and endless and enthusiasm and determination,
and he did have great enthusiasm and I always say
you need enthusiasm to be successful.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
He had great enthusiasm.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
Charlie grew Turning Point into the largest conservative youth organization
in the entire country. He forged a personal bond with
countless young conservatives.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
He fought for free speech, religious liberty.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
Strong borders, and a very strong and proud America. In
everything he did, he put America first. He really put
America first. And ultimately Charlie became more than a leader
of an important organization. He became the leader of historic
movements all over the country. There were movements, individual movements,
(35:24):
one movement, but it was historic. Everything he did was
historic and a true evangelist for the cause of freedom
and the word of Almighty God. God was very important
to Charlie. He would say, you know, if you don't
have religion, you're not going to have a strong country.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
It's true. He was so wise beyond his years.
Speaker 9 (35:45):
You know, I talked to him sometimes, I said, this
guy is like a young guy.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
He was really a wise man.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
From the time Charlie worked on my presidential campaign in
twenty sixteen, and he was there right from the beginning.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
He liked me.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
I don't know, I have no idea. What the hell
was he thinking? He said, you're gonna win, sir. I said,
you know, I'm running against seventeen senators and a lot
of tough people and governors. We have all these people.
And he said, no, you're going to win, sir. He said,
not going to be close. And he made it happen.
(36:19):
He helped make it happen. I'll tell you that without him,
who knows what would be Maybe you'd have Kamalist standing
here today. That would not be good. I will tell
you how he you don't know who Kamala is, promised
it would not be good.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Do you agree with that, Howard?
Speaker 9 (36:35):
He also mobilized countless citizens to go vote. It's called
go vote, very simple, and with his help in twenty
twenty four, we won more young people than any Republican
by far in the history of our country, and we
won the popular vote. We won the states, all seven
of them. Remember they said, oh, well, if Trump could
win four, that would be nice. I went seven, by
(36:57):
a lot, by a landslide.
