During the election, Democrats were saying that the economy was on a rebound but now they say the economy is failing badly. President Trump said, day one, he would need time for his policies to have an impact.... this should not surprise the left.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thank you, Scott Chattan, thanks to all of
you for being with us. Here's our toll free telephone
number you want to be a part of the program,
It's eight hundred and nine to four to one, Sean
if you'd like to join us, and we'd love to
have you be a part of the program. Well, the
reason when I'm running the interview with the President, President
Trump and Elon Musk tonight, it is a hell holiday,
(00:21):
Happy President's Day or Washington Birthday. I don't know what
we call it anymore. I can't keep up with all
these name changes, and it is what it is, and
but we I will tell you that the time I
spent with them was pretty amazing and as much as
what we are discovering on top of everything that we
(00:42):
already knew and we have repeated on this program and
scrolled repeatedly on TV. I even said at one point
in the interview, he said, I can't waste this precious
time with you guys and start listing everything. So I'll
scroll it and we can do that in what's called
post meaning after the interview, just you know, at it
while you're asking the questions, and we just keep finding
(01:04):
more every day. I mean, it is pretty it's pretty unbelievable.
Now we have a report out today that and now,
just to be clear, Elon Musk has yet to determine
whether eight point seven million people listed on the Social
Security roles as being over one hundred and thirty are
currently being issued social Security checks.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
They're just on the roles, so we don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
But his latest find is that you have eight point
seven million Americans that are listed as being over one
hundred and thirty years old that are on the list. Now,
I would say the odds are probably high that some
of them, if not all of them, it might be
the biggest fraud in history. Are you know, have been
(01:47):
getting checks or somebody in their family's been getting checks
and just saying, oh, the government's nice enough to send
me this, why don't I just use it? So they're
examining the Social Security roles. We've got to get a
final number and figure on this. And there are far
more eligible Social Security numbers than there are citizens in
the USA. I'm like, huh, you can't make that part
(02:09):
up again. That number includes eight point seven million people
on the list eligible quote of that are over one
hundred and thirty. We don't know whether these one hundred
and thirty year olds or somebody in their families receiving
a check, but he said, quote, this might be the
biggest fraud in history. We don't know, so I don't
want to jump the gun on it. But it's certainly
(02:31):
fascinating when you just begin the process of exit doing
a real audit, aligned by line audit of the federal government.
Then to watch the media freak out the way they
are and the Democrats freaking out the way they are.
And I'm perfectly fine, as I've been saying, with them
freaking out, and they if they want to fight for
all this waste, fraud, abuse, corruption, let them fight for that,
(02:52):
let them bet.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Let this be the hill that they want to die on.
I'm okay with that. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It is real in terms of the names being there,
according to this report Fox News, with the population count
in twenty twenty. In the last census, it was more
than three hundred and thirty one million Americans. The count
of people ages one hundred and older was more than
eighty thousand according to the Census Bureau. Now musk Stead
(03:19):
the logic flow diagram for the system looks insane and
in other words, what he's saying, on the surface, this
looks insane on the surface. We got to get to
the bottom of it. And he was very clear in
the interview with me. He said, we're going to make mistakes,
but we're going to quit those We're going to fix
those mistakes very quickly. The person actually knows how it works.
The payment files that move between the Social Security and
(03:42):
Treasury have significant inconsistencies that are not reconciled.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
He said, it's just wild.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And you know, if you want to retire from the
federal government, it takes a whopping six months and they
do it by hand in some underground bunker limestone you know,
mine from years gone by.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I mean this by hand.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
We live in the computer age, we live in the
age of artificial intelligence. We have another report out today
that Afghanistan is expected to experience a seven percent economic
decline because of severe reductions to US for and aid,
according to the Center for Global Development, and over the
past three years, Joe Biden's administration has taken your tax
(04:25):
dollars and given more than three billion dollars in aid
to Afghanistan run by the Taliban that stole our military equipment.
They should have returned it and Joe should have demanded
it and solidifying their position as the nation's largest financial donor.
Meaning we are, well, what is the Taliban doing for us?
I mean, it's still as radical as it once was.
(04:49):
I'm not sure why, but whenever Rampaul does something, I
always believe there's a reason behind it. And he's called
for a review Senator Paul of the A fort nine,
which is the vault that massive gold reserves with an
estimated four hundred and twenty five billion dollars based on
current market rates, in response to Elon's you know, talking
(05:12):
about the stash anyway, it drew attention to a user
who asked them to take a look inside Fort Knox
and make sure that four five and eighty tons of
US gold is actually in there, and Musk replied on
X that surely it's reviewed at least every year, and no,
Ram Paul said, nope, it's not referring to the army
(05:33):
installation south of Louisville. So that's another area new discoveries.
Elon Musk's doge has discovered that during the Biden's four
years in the White House, Congress granted thirty one billion
dollars to the Department of Health and Human Services to
provide housing, medical, legal services to their unvetted Biden Harrisey illegals.
(05:59):
And that's from fiscal use twenty twenty one to fiscal
year twenty twenty four. Congress gave FEMA's Shelter and Services
Program an additional two point two billion the nonprofits and
local entities to provide support to non citizens released from
the Department of Homeland Security study. In twenty twenty four
a loan FEMA set aside six hundred and forty point
nine million in shelter in service grants who enable non
(06:22):
federal entities to offset allowable costs incurred for services associated
with non citizen in other words, illegal immigrant arrivals in
their communities. We're top recipients Denver, d C, Chicago, Massachusetts,
New York, and Philadelphia. Democratic run states and cities with
sanctuary policies offering free housing and services to illegals. Now,
(06:45):
also remember, in the course of all this, they lied.
In the course of all of this, they were telling
us the border secure for four years, and that the
border is closed for four years. I mean spectacular lives
in the American people's all through it. The media, Well,
why didn't they do their job? Why didn't they go
down to the border and report the truth and tell
(07:06):
the American people considering they all claim to be these
great journalists that they're not. And this is why I said,
you know, after this election, legacy media is just dead.
And you know, how will you how do they ever
regain your trust? And if you even watch them today,
all they've done is double down on stupid and dumb
and dumber because they keep doing the same thing. It's like, hey,
(07:28):
Trump twenty four to seven. And interestingly, Rasmus said, has
a poll out today. Elon Musk now has a solid
fifty five percent approval rating at a good approval rating
a poll by Insider Advantage in Trafalgar last week. And
the president and the most voters like Donald Trump's decision
to put Elon Musk in charge in light of everything
(07:49):
they've been saying about the poor guy. I mean, I'm surprised,
you know, he's been so demonized by the left. I'm
surprised he has any approval rating at this point. You know,
when you have people on the l left and Democrats,
I don't know, nobody voted for Elon Musk. No, nobody
voted for any cabinet members either, but they did vote
for Donald Trump. And Donald Trump ran on eliminating waste
(08:10):
fraud and abuse. People are dying due to doze cuts.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
There's no evidence to back that up at all. You know,
Elon Musk is a male body part the street binocular.
I'll save you from me saying it. This is a
constitutional crisis is happening in America? Okay, Well, we got
out of the corrupt WHO agreement. That's one point two
eight billion dollars, the Who's twenty twenty three budget Paris Accords.
(08:38):
You know, Biden's Inflation Reduction Act included three hundred and
sixty nine billion dollars towards fighting climate change through clean
energy tax grants and other means. Now, the GAO put
out a report, we told you about it last week,
two hundred and thirty three billion dollars that's over a
quarter of a trillion dollars that they discovered in waste
(08:58):
fraud and abuse last year alone. And it includes none
of the things that we've discovered. It doesn't include the
twenty four million for you know, the country at Georgia
and green transportation, or the twenty nine million for an
agricultural trade diversification program, or four point five million to
build a societal resilience in the face of disinformation in Kazakhstan,
(09:23):
and that didn't include seven point four million to enhance
you know, inclusion accountable governance in Northeast Syria, or forty
four point eight million for food economic assistance for Venezuelan
illegals in Colombia, or you know, the six point seven
million to protect protect biodiversity wildlife crimes in South Africa,
(09:45):
or you know, money paying for transgender comic books in
Peru and transgender operas in Colombia and DEI musicals in
Ireland and advancing the DEI in Serbia workplaces. This is
all money spent broad and I can keep going. It
just is no shortage of the list of money that
we have. I'm betting that when it's all said and done,
(10:09):
we're going to be over a trillion dollars that we
discover and it's all going to be spent on this
new green deal, radical green new deal. You know, wokeism, transgenderism,
LGBTQ abroad, not for the American people and for the
average American that makes sixty six grand a year, and
for the average American that's been suffering four years, pay
for the paying for the quote cost of democracy to
(10:31):
quote Kamala Harris, and pay higher energy fees, and for
the very people that are putting bare necessities on their
credit cards. But those Americans that have suffered, even though
we were told that the economy's flying. By the way,
if you notice now Democrats all of a sudden, they
notice the economy is not good. Donald Trump said on
day one, Well, on day one, he's implementing his policies.
(10:52):
You're right, but we have to actually get out from
under the Biden Harris economy that he inherited. And yeah,
day one he's working to make that happen. The federal
government has been stealing trillions of dollars. In the Washington Times,
Robert Knight writes a piece if you want to know,
then you think about this, if you want to know
how badly your tax dollars have been wasted. The Washington
(11:16):
Times reported Sunday that the figure is well into trillions
of dollars. That's trillions with a capital T and an
S on the end of it. One expert testifying before
Congress last week at the amount of improper payments issued
by federal bureaucrats since two thousand and three comes to
a staggering two point seven trillion, And as The Washington
(11:38):
Times pointed out, it is becoming clear that the federal
government has been stealing trillions from American taxpayers and hiding
And this is the point I've been making over and
over again, how they have spent them. They label them,
you know, very innocuous, benign, generic titles. And meanwhile they
(11:58):
know what the money's really being spent. But they put
all of this money into you know, it's hilarious to
watch as government jobs are being reduced. In seventy five
thousand people that work in DC have taken the buy out.
Others will be fired, and let go that the home
market in d C is on fire, people dying to
(12:18):
sell their homes. Probably you can get a deal if
you want to live in the DC area, although I
have no idea why you'd want to. The chief executive
for Lexus Nexus testified to a House committee on Wednesday
the federal agencies had reported two point seven trillion in
cumulative improper payments going back as far as two thousand
and three. Now do you really And by the way,
(12:40):
there have been people over the years that have pointed
out we had years ago citizens against government waste and
Tom Cotton is I'm sorry, remember Senator Tom Coburn Oklahoma.
William Proxmiyer you might remember him, Wisconsin Democrat published annual
lists of all the absurd government spending one hundred and
nine thousand dollars to study the mating habits of the
(13:02):
Japanese quail. I don't know why that sticks on my mind.
Democrats are screaming this is a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
You know what the constitutional crisis has been that they
stole this money from your children, your grandchildren. They brought
Social Security and Medicare to the brink of insolvency. They've
left wide open borders that has allowed known terrorists, non murderers, rapists,
you know, cartel members, gang members into the country. Another
(13:30):
new report puts America's twenty twenty five deficit at a
dangerous three point three trillion dollars. We're getting to the
point where interest on the debt is more than what
we pay a national defense, and the debt to GDP
ratio is going to be higher than at any point
since World War Two. We cannot sustain this as a country.
By the way, the New York Times had to retract,
(13:51):
and by the way, so should Rachel maddow their story
claiming that Trump awarded Elon Musk's Tesla a four hundred
million dollar dollar contract as dug up at one point
nine billion dollars in taxpayer money misplaced at how do
you misplace one point nine billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
How does that happen? Alright?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Twenty five to the top of the hour, eight hundred
and nine point one Sean, If you want to be
a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Another company I wish I thought of.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
This is a genius legacy box dot com slash Hannity.
Go there today. You get fifty percent off your order.
Why is it important because all of you listening to
my voice right now. If you go into your attic,
if you go into your closets, if you go into
your basement, you go into your garage, and you have
other family members do it too, what are you going
to find? You're going to find all these family memories
(14:44):
and and VHS tapes and camquarder tapes and film reels
and photos and negatives, they're just they're just fading away
and the overtime, you know, you won't be able to
recover them. And anyway, they're victims to heat, you know,
to think like heat, moisture, mold, et cetera. But there's
a permanent solution is they will hand digitize it. At
(15:06):
Legacy Box found it over a decade ago, and the
purpose is to save these memories in perpetuity. And you know,
if you think about it, you put this all together,
you do it for your family, you get fifty percent
off you can put you know, once you get your
Legacy Box, you'll lock in your deal. They'll send you
a box and at your leisure, you put all of
those family memories in the box. You send it off
(15:29):
to them. You get the originals back, they'll hand digitize
the rest of it and then you can sit as
a family in start looking at old photos and and
old videos of people that have passed on and get
to see and hear from them again. And then you'll
know generations from now that you're great great great great
great great grandchildren will know what you look like and
you sounded like, and they'll be grateful you did it,
(15:51):
and you have the insight and the ability to do it. Anyway,
don't let these family memories fade away. Just go to
legacy box dot comm slash Hannity. You get fifty percent
off today fifty percent off legacy box dot com slash Hannity.
Now here's how bad this is. This is where we're
headed off the fiscal cliff. And this is where it
(16:11):
gets very, very financially dangerous for the country. You know,
when when we start paying more on interest for the
national debt at you know, thirty seven trillion dollars because
they've been now we're exposing how they've been robbing hardworking
Americans and they've been hiding what it is they've been
spending the money on.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I mean, we're now at.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
For the first for this recent for this first quarter,
the federal government had a mind numbing eight hundred and
thirty eight billion dollar cash shortfall. And that's where the
this is all under Harris and Biden. And if you
do the math, that's over two and a half trillion
dollars that our deficit will explode this year. That brings
(16:53):
us to close to forty trillion dollars in debt. Okay,
now we're getting to the point where it becomes unsustainable,
and it is. It is mind numbing the numbers. You know,
you hear millions, billions and trillions, but now we're finding
hundreds of billions in all of this money in waste, fraud,
abuse and corruption. You know those you dug up another
(17:14):
one point nine billion in taxpayer money. The quote was misplaced.
How do you misplace one point nine million at the
Department of Housing in Urban Development?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
How does that happen? You know?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
How does the top agency recover that thumb? Only because
Elon Musk did it? And I know it's maybe fashionable,
although the American people are quickly not buying it. There
was a RASPMU some poll out on top of the
Perfalgar and Insider Advantage pole last week. You know, his
popularity is more and more people become aware of it.
(17:46):
They're going to realize Elon Musk is a national treasure.
And there's so much I want to tell you about
him that I don't want to tell you until after
the interview. And I'd never met him before, and I
spoke with him a significant time, both on air and
off air with him, and I just started asking him
about all his different projects. I mean, this is a
(18:07):
guy that started finding zip too and PayPal and SpaceX
where he was you know, he funded it himself chief engineer.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
He was bought into Tesla early. I saw that Cheryl
wants a name crow, you know, gave her Tesla to MPR.
My good, Give everybody that likes MPR, m PBS they
can start paying for their own for their own content,
because the American people shouldn't be paying for NPR or
any of you know, any of this nonsense or PBS.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
They have an agenda. It's radically left.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You know, he's worth four or five hundred billion dollars
and you know, what are the what is there to
hate about him exposing you? This is putting out personal information. No,
he's not putting personal information at risk. You know, how
do you possibly if you don't go line by line,
agency by agency, how are you going to root out
this corruption? There's no other way to do it. He
(19:03):
wasn't elected, No, but neither was Pam Bondy to be
the Attorney general or Pete Hegsath or any of the
other Trump nominees or RFK Junior.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Anyway, and you know this is a guy who envisions,
you know, and has a plan to put to get
spaceships to go to Mars and put plants on there
and see if life can be sustainable there.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
This is the guy that had the first private company
to place astronauts in orbit. This is a guy who
created Starlink, which offers internet coverage to one hundred countries
with these with these satellites that he launched.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I have Starlink. It's great. You know.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Starlink is also or star Shield, is designed to improve
our national security and national defense. If you recall during
Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, you know, especially people in
Tennessee and in the western part of North Carolina where
hammered so hard they were totally disconnected from the world.
(20:06):
Elon Musk donated Starlink so that people can communicate with
the rest of the world. Again, he did the same
thing for the people in the Pacific Palisades after the
wildfires out in California, and they hear him talk about
rescuing two astronauts that frankly were abandoned by Biden and
Harris for nearly three hundred days. They're only supposed to
(20:27):
be there for eight days. It's pretty remarkable. And why
is there this vitriol, this hatred, because he's exposing them.
He's shining a light on corruption, he's shining a light
on waste and abuse. He's not getting paid his salary.
He's doing it for free, you know, just like he
(20:50):
donates all this stuff for free, just like he's gonna
you know, he's helping people with communications for free, you know.
And then I started asking him at different times about
some of the other projects. I didn't know everything about
Elon Musk, but I really did a deep dive into him.
You might not know this. You buy a Tesla. They
have their own insurance company. Maybe guy should get a
(21:12):
Tesla next. Friends of mine swear by their Teslas. They
love it.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Cheryl Crow wants to punish Elon Musk and begin this
little boycott of hers to send a mess what are
you sending a message to? What are you miss sending
a message about what you don't You're perfectly fine. It's
acceptable to spend the money the way we've been exposing
how this money is being spent. That's okay with you.
You think it's fair to your children and grandchildren? Is
(21:38):
it fair to the average American that only makes sixty
six grand a year. When's the last time, Cheryl Crow?
It never left me? You know, yeah, at this point
in my life, I have money. I do, but I
didn't have it for a lot of years, and I
remember what it was like. It's the weirdest thing. Your
brain doesn't change. I mean, the people of my life
(21:59):
cannot believe Eve how I dress in my real life.
They just can't. Linda, how bad is it? You can
tell everybody. I don't care. You don't want to tell anybody. Oh,
she's Linda has left the building. She's she's departed for
different places. Uh, well, we have I think Jason is there?
(22:21):
Jason am I the fanciest dresser in the world. New No,
what do I wear every day? When I when you
see me?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Uh, you've got that old I got what I do?
I wear? I wear black T shirts usually homeless shelter
can hold me back.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Look, I'm the John vetterman and talk radio. I don't know,
and I, uh, what do you think he dresses better
than me? Though he's suggesting that he does not. I
wear I wear jeans. I've improved my look a little.
I mean, and I have to get dressed up. I'll
get dressed up.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You have holes in your sneakers.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I don't have holes in my I did one pair
of shoes years ago, and I didn't know it until
somebody pointed it out because I put my feet up.
I didn't I didn't know I had a hole in it.
I had no idea. You should never felt it yourself.
Might should be ashamed of myself. I mean, I mean,
at this point, I have everybody in my life. It
is sort of like an all hands on deck intervention
(23:26):
to get me to dress better, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Starting with my daughter, She's like, Daddy, stop, you're an
adult with a job. You should not have holes in
your sneakers. Okay, you shouldn't have it. Okay, yeah, I mean,
and then I have to find I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I mean, I think you look a lot better now,
I mean to me. You know, I'm sure it's between
Ainslie and your daughter and you know your sister, and
I think.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
We true it was. It's been an intervention in my
life because but.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I don't think you dressed me before. You just dressed
like a dude who didn't care.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
If I could, I'd still dress I still wear my
black T shirt, and I still have a if I'm
home or just not going anywhere, that's that's what I wear.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
But I don't think there's anything wrong with that, you know.
I mean, now you've got your boat shoes, you got
your fancy pants.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I'd no, no, no, no, no. I don't have boat shoes.
That is absolutely I do not have boat shoes. I
have the sneaker looking grip shoes, so they're really sneakers,
except they look a little dressier and they have that
white around the outside of it. Anyway, I digress. So
(24:35):
there is also a robotic part of Tesla, which I
is fascinating, But I think the most interesting thing is
the work that he's that Elan is doing in an
Ai and how much AI is going to change the world.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I was talking to somebody over the weekend. Somebody is
seeking my advice, and I said, get a trade. There's
a person that kind of has had, you know, a
few obstacles in their life and challenges, and I'm like, well,
are you really ready to make the change? I have said,
if you want my advice, my advice is to get
a trade. Become a plumber, become a contractor, become an electrician.
I don't care what it is. And I said, you know,
(25:14):
just beg somebody if you can intern with him, and
I guarantee you're going to get a job and then
learn that craft and go to school at night, and
you can really turn your life around. There was an
article about the next generation of millionaires are going to
be tradesmen because there's going to be such demand for it.
That's not something AI can take over either, not that
(25:35):
I can imagine in any way. But the most interesting
thing that I think that he's involved in. Have you
ever read about neuralink, Linda.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Do I have a what link?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Did you ever read about musk and neuralalink? Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
So it's really funny that you're asking about this. So
Sarah Carter's husband, Marty, is blind and one of the
things that noralink would do would really help people who
are block be able to see again. So we actually
followed pretty closely.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I talked to him about that, and a friend of mine,
Steve Wind, does not see well, and I talked about
he knows Steve, and I asked him would that help him?
But it integrates the human brain with AI, and by
the way, it's not putting a chip in your head.
I know people you know, more consumable.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah, it's a huge misconception.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, and but it has medical uses. For example, people
with spinal cord injuries, they think they might be on
the precipice, the cusp of inventing a way for them
to walk again and for the blind to see. I mean,
pretty amazing. Although I think my first question you're going
(26:42):
to find the funniest question, one of the funniest questions. Okay,
and it was me asking Trump about a lawsuit with Twitter.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, that's how I started the interview. It was pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
If you go back to the Twitter files, what do
we learned in the Twitter files?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
That?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
And I didn't have time to really delve deep into
this because I just there was so much to talk about.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Well, it's not relevant now anyways.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It's well, it isn't it isn't.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I mean the internal discussions to censor the very real
Hunter and Biden laptop.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
No. No, I just mean that you know now that
that you know Elon is there.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
He runs tip and how they exposed blackballing of conservatives
and how they you know, the internal workings about deciding
to suspend the President of the United States's account, the
close ties with Twitter to the FBI, which we've known about.
In the months leading up to the twenty twenty election,
they were meeting with big tech companies and and you
(27:43):
you don't give as much credit to Zuckerberg.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
As I do.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Way before the election, this is before we knew who
the winner or lose would be. He he had long
conversations with Jim Jordan, and then he wrote that letter
admitting to everything that they were involved in in the
discussions with the FBI, et cetera. And he agreed, Okay, uh,
we are out of that business, and we're at we're
(28:08):
getting out of the censorship business. And this was before
Trump was even elected anyway, So I think that that
tells me it was more sincere.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Although I know a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Of people just hate him, then they're going to always
forever hate him. I'm not saying I like or hate
him enough. But what the FBI did pre bunking that
laptop was unbelievable. And then just the day before we
learned in the Twitter files, the FBI tipped off Twitter
and then started sending them sensitive data and then Twitter,
(28:39):
they wanted Twitter to share sensitive data with the FBI.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well, I mean even look.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
At some of the payouts that we had of you know,
big you know digital news outlets that were literally the
invoice said social media censorship and social media, you know,
devising a plan to redirect you know, American citizens. I
mean this was as a very coordinated effort.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, or you know, or the CIA working with social media,
you know, and they wanted social media to put out
this information worldwide. And some of it was about COVID.
I mean, every instinct we had on COVID ended up
being right. We put the right people on the air
for COVID.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, and a few of them lost their medical licenses
and had to go to court. You think you'll ever
get their legal fees back?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
No, No, what do you think happened to me? I
mean when Jim Jordan told me that my social media
accounts were suppressed in the lead up to the twenty
twenty election, or that my private personal text messages, you
know that they didn't get from me, you know, they
released all of them publicly. I mean, just because I'm
(29:50):
a public figure, do I not have a right to
privacy not you know, or the effort to propagandize the
American people on COVID that all came out. That's why
I don't hate him. And when you get to know him,
I mean, he's such a fascinating guy in so many ways.
I mean, his brain works very differently, and then he's got,
you know, the innocence of a child.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
He really does. He's just fun and he enjoys life.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
He enjoys the thought of thinking about all of these
incredible human developments. I urge everyone watch The Men that
Build America on the History Channel and then look at
Elon and through those eyes today and he had a
message for billionaires that I thought was brilliant.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
It will air that tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Listen, everybody needs a safety personal security plan for you
and your family in this day and age. And I've
always had the right to carry a firearm. I still do.
But my first option is to get away. My second
option is well, thanks to the incredible technology that is Burner,
the less lethal launcher, that would be my second option,
and deadly force would be the last option. And the
(30:57):
beauty of Berner is it has powerful to term tear
gas kinetic rounds. You can hit a target fifty sixty
feet away, it can one shot can incapacitate an attacker
for up to forty minutes. And Berner is trusted now
by over five hundred government agencies, police departments, private security firms.
It's legal in all fifty states. You don't need a permit,
you don't need a background check. Please look at their videos.
(31:18):
See how powerful this is. Anyway, go to Bernard dot
com slash Hannity. You'll get ten percent off any purchase.
Look at the videos and decide for yourself. And I
have a story I'll tell you later in the week
about me and Burner. All right, Bernard dot com slash Hannity,
Everyone should have one.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Today, John Hannity.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Mac Democrats using law fair to try and stop every
action by a duly elected president.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Our legal team will join us, Roger Severino and Hans
Vons Bolkovski.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Great ahead,
All right, thank you, Scott Chattan, thanks to all of
you for being with us. Here's our toll free telephone
number you want to be a part of the program,
It's eight hundred and nine to four to one, Sean
if you'd like to join us, and we'd love to
have you be a part of the program. Well, the
reason when I'm running the interview with the President, President
Trump and Elon Musk tonight, it is a hell holiday,
(00:21):
Happy President's Day or Washington Birthday. I don't know what
we call it anymore. I can't keep up with all
these name changes, and it is what it is, and
but we I will tell you that the time I
spent with them was pretty amazing and as much as
what we are discovering on top of everything that we
(00:42):
already knew and we have repeated on this program and
scrolled repeatedly on TV. I even said at one point
in the interview, he said, I can't waste this precious
time with you guys and start listing everything. So I'll
scroll it and we can do that in what's called
post meaning after the interview, just you know, at it
while you're asking the questions, and we just keep finding
(01:04):
more every day. I mean, it is pretty it's pretty unbelievable.
Now we have a report out today that and now,
just to be clear, Elon Musk has yet to determine
whether eight point seven million people listed on the Social
Security roles as being over one hundred and thirty are
currently being issued social Security checks.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
They're just on the roles, so we don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
But his latest find is that you have eight point
seven million Americans that are listed as being over one
hundred and thirty years old that are on the list. Now,
I would say the odds are probably high that some
of them, if not all of them, it might be
the biggest fraud in history. Are you know, have been
(01:47):
getting checks or somebody in their family's been getting checks
and just saying, oh, the government's nice enough to send
me this, why don't I just use it? So they're
examining the Social Security roles. We've got to get a
final number and figure on this. And there are far
more eligible Social Security numbers than there are citizens in
the USA. I'm like, huh, you can't make that part
(02:09):
up again. That number includes eight point seven million people
on the list eligible quote of that are over one
hundred and thirty. We don't know whether these one hundred
and thirty year olds or somebody in their families receiving
a check, but he said, quote, this might be the
biggest fraud in history. We don't know, so I don't
want to jump the gun on it. But it's certainly
(02:31):
fascinating when you just begin the process of exit doing
a real audit, aligned by line audit of the federal government.
Then to watch the media freak out the way they
are and the Democrats freaking out the way they are.
And I'm perfectly fine, as I've been saying, with them
freaking out, and they if they want to fight for
all this waste, fraud, abuse, corruption, let them fight for that,
(02:52):
let them bet.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Let this be the hill that they want to die on.
I'm okay with that. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It is real in terms of the names being there,
according to this report Fox News, with the population count
in twenty twenty. In the last census, it was more
than three hundred and thirty one million Americans. The count
of people ages one hundred and older was more than
eighty thousand according to the Census Bureau. Now musk Stead
(03:19):
the logic flow diagram for the system looks insane and
in other words, what he's saying, on the surface, this
looks insane on the surface. We got to get to
the bottom of it. And he was very clear in
the interview with me. He said, we're going to make mistakes,
but we're going to quit those We're going to fix
those mistakes very quickly. The person actually knows how it works.
The payment files that move between the Social Security and
(03:42):
Treasury have significant inconsistencies that are not reconciled.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
He said, it's just wild.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And you know, if you want to retire from the
federal government, it takes a whopping six months and they
do it by hand in some underground bunker limestone you know,
mine from years gone by.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I mean this by hand.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
We live in the computer age, we live in the
age of artificial intelligence. We have another report out today
that Afghanistan is expected to experience a seven percent economic
decline because of severe reductions to US for and aid,
according to the Center for Global Development, and over the
past three years, Joe Biden's administration has taken your tax
(04:25):
dollars and given more than three billion dollars in aid
to Afghanistan run by the Taliban that stole our military equipment.
They should have returned it and Joe should have demanded
it and solidifying their position as the nation's largest financial donor.
Meaning we are, well, what is the Taliban doing for us?
I mean, it's still as radical as it once was.
(04:49):
I'm not sure why, but whenever Rampaul does something, I
always believe there's a reason behind it. And he's called
for a review Senator Paul of the A fort nine,
which is the vault that massive gold reserves with an
estimated four hundred and twenty five billion dollars based on
current market rates, in response to Elon's you know, talking
(05:12):
about the stash anyway, it drew attention to a user
who asked them to take a look inside Fort Knox
and make sure that four five and eighty tons of
US gold is actually in there, and Musk replied on
X that surely it's reviewed at least every year, and no,
Ram Paul said, nope, it's not referring to the army
(05:33):
installation south of Louisville. So that's another area new discoveries.
Elon Musk's doge has discovered that during the Biden's four
years in the White House, Congress granted thirty one billion
dollars to the Department of Health and Human Services to
provide housing, medical, legal services to their unvetted Biden Harrisey illegals.
(05:59):
And that's from fiscal use twenty twenty one to fiscal
year twenty twenty four. Congress gave FEMA's Shelter and Services
Program an additional two point two billion the nonprofits and
local entities to provide support to non citizens released from
the Department of Homeland Security study. In twenty twenty four
a loan FEMA set aside six hundred and forty point
nine million in shelter in service grants who enable non
(06:22):
federal entities to offset allowable costs incurred for services associated
with non citizen in other words, illegal immigrant arrivals in
their communities. We're top recipients Denver, d C, Chicago, Massachusetts,
New York, and Philadelphia. Democratic run states and cities with
sanctuary policies offering free housing and services to illegals. Now,
(06:45):
also remember, in the course of all this, they lied.
In the course of all of this, they were telling
us the border secure for four years, and that the
border is closed for four years. I mean spectacular lives
in the American people's all through it. The media, Well,
why didn't they do their job? Why didn't they go
down to the border and report the truth and tell
(07:06):
the American people considering they all claim to be these
great journalists that they're not. And this is why I said,
you know, after this election, legacy media is just dead.
And you know, how will you how do they ever
regain your trust? And if you even watch them today,
all they've done is double down on stupid and dumb
and dumber because they keep doing the same thing. It's like, hey,
(07:28):
Trump twenty four to seven. And interestingly, Rasmus said, has
a poll out today. Elon Musk now has a solid
fifty five percent approval rating at a good approval rating
a poll by Insider Advantage in Trafalgar last week. And
the president and the most voters like Donald Trump's decision
to put Elon Musk in charge in light of everything
(07:49):
they've been saying about the poor guy. I mean, I'm surprised,
you know, he's been so demonized by the left. I'm
surprised he has any approval rating at this point. You know,
when you have people on the l left and Democrats,
I don't know, nobody voted for Elon Musk. No, nobody
voted for any cabinet members either, but they did vote
for Donald Trump. And Donald Trump ran on eliminating waste
(08:10):
fraud and abuse. People are dying due to doze cuts.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
There's no evidence to back that up at all. You know,
Elon Musk is a male body part the street binocular.
I'll save you from me saying it. This is a
constitutional crisis is happening in America? Okay, Well, we got
out of the corrupt WHO agreement. That's one point two
eight billion dollars, the Who's twenty twenty three budget Paris Accords.
(08:38):
You know, Biden's Inflation Reduction Act included three hundred and
sixty nine billion dollars towards fighting climate change through clean
energy tax grants and other means. Now, the GAO put
out a report, we told you about it last week,
two hundred and thirty three billion dollars that's over a
quarter of a trillion dollars that they discovered in waste
(08:58):
fraud and abuse last year alone. And it includes none
of the things that we've discovered. It doesn't include the
twenty four million for you know, the country at Georgia
and green transportation, or the twenty nine million for an
agricultural trade diversification program, or four point five million to
build a societal resilience in the face of disinformation in Kazakhstan,
(09:23):
and that didn't include seven point four million to enhance
you know, inclusion accountable governance in Northeast Syria, or forty
four point eight million for food economic assistance for Venezuelan
illegals in Colombia, or you know, the six point seven
million to protect protect biodiversity wildlife crimes in South Africa,
(09:45):
or you know, money paying for transgender comic books in
Peru and transgender operas in Colombia and DEI musicals in
Ireland and advancing the DEI in Serbia workplaces. This is
all money spent broad and I can keep going. It
just is no shortage of the list of money that
we have. I'm betting that when it's all said and done,
(10:09):
we're going to be over a trillion dollars that we
discover and it's all going to be spent on this
new green deal, radical green new deal. You know, wokeism, transgenderism,
LGBTQ abroad, not for the American people and for the
average American that makes sixty six grand a year, and
for the average American that's been suffering four years, pay
for the paying for the quote cost of democracy to
(10:31):
quote Kamala Harris, and pay higher energy fees, and for
the very people that are putting bare necessities on their
credit cards. But those Americans that have suffered, even though
we were told that the economy's flying. By the way,
if you notice now Democrats all of a sudden, they
notice the economy is not good. Donald Trump said on
day one, Well, on day one, he's implementing his policies.
(10:52):
You're right, but we have to actually get out from
under the Biden Harris economy that he inherited. And yeah,
day one he's working to make that happen. The federal
government has been stealing trillions of dollars. In the Washington Times,
Robert Knight writes a piece if you want to know,
then you think about this, if you want to know
how badly your tax dollars have been wasted. The Washington
(11:16):
Times reported Sunday that the figure is well into trillions
of dollars. That's trillions with a capital T and an
S on the end of it. One expert testifying before
Congress last week at the amount of improper payments issued
by federal bureaucrats since two thousand and three comes to
a staggering two point seven trillion, And as The Washington
(11:38):
Times pointed out, it is becoming clear that the federal
government has been stealing trillions from American taxpayers and hiding
And this is the point I've been making over and
over again, how they have spent them. They label them,
you know, very innocuous, benign, generic titles. And meanwhile they
(11:58):
know what the money's really being spent. But they put
all of this money into you know, it's hilarious to
watch as government jobs are being reduced. In seventy five
thousand people that work in DC have taken the buy out.
Others will be fired, and let go that the home
market in d C is on fire, people dying to
(12:18):
sell their homes. Probably you can get a deal if
you want to live in the DC area, although I
have no idea why you'd want to. The chief executive
for Lexus Nexus testified to a House committee on Wednesday
the federal agencies had reported two point seven trillion in
cumulative improper payments going back as far as two thousand
and three. Now do you really And by the way,
(12:40):
there have been people over the years that have pointed
out we had years ago citizens against government waste and
Tom Cotton is I'm sorry, remember Senator Tom Coburn Oklahoma.
William Proxmiyer you might remember him, Wisconsin Democrat published annual
lists of all the absurd government spending one hundred and
nine thousand dollars to study the mating habits of the
(13:02):
Japanese quail. I don't know why that sticks on my mind.
Democrats are screaming this is a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
You know what the constitutional crisis has been that they
stole this money from your children, your grandchildren. They brought
Social Security and Medicare to the brink of insolvency. They've
left wide open borders that has allowed known terrorists, non murderers, rapists,
you know, cartel members, gang members into the country. Another
(13:30):
new report puts America's twenty twenty five deficit at a
dangerous three point three trillion dollars. We're getting to the
point where interest on the debt is more than what
we pay a national defense, and the debt to GDP
ratio is going to be higher than at any point
since World War Two. We cannot sustain this as a country.
By the way, the New York Times had to retract,
(13:51):
and by the way, so should Rachel maddow their story
claiming that Trump awarded Elon Musk's Tesla a four hundred
million dollar dollar contract as dug up at one point
nine billion dollars in taxpayer money misplaced at how do
you misplace one point nine billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
How does that happen? Alright?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Twenty five to the top of the hour, eight hundred
and nine point one Sean, If you want to be
a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Another company I wish I thought of.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
This is a genius legacy box dot com slash Hannity.
Go there today. You get fifty percent off your order.
Why is it important because all of you listening to
my voice right now. If you go into your attic,
if you go into your closets, if you go into
your basement, you go into your garage, and you have
other family members do it too, what are you going
to find? You're going to find all these family memories
(14:44):
and and VHS tapes and camquarder tapes and film reels
and photos and negatives, they're just they're just fading away
and the overtime, you know, you won't be able to
recover them. And anyway, they're victims to heat, you know,
to think like heat, moisture, mold, et cetera. But there's
a permanent solution is they will hand digitize it. At
(15:06):
Legacy Box found it over a decade ago, and the
purpose is to save these memories in perpetuity. And you know,
if you think about it, you put this all together,
you do it for your family, you get fifty percent
off you can put you know, once you get your
Legacy Box, you'll lock in your deal. They'll send you
a box and at your leisure, you put all of
those family memories in the box. You send it off
(15:29):
to them. You get the originals back, they'll hand digitize
the rest of it and then you can sit as
a family in start looking at old photos and and
old videos of people that have passed on and get
to see and hear from them again. And then you'll
know generations from now that you're great great great great
great great grandchildren will know what you look like and
you sounded like, and they'll be grateful you did it,
(15:51):
and you have the insight and the ability to do it. Anyway,
don't let these family memories fade away. Just go to
legacy box dot comm slash Hannity. You get fifty percent
off today fifty percent off legacy box dot com slash Hannity.
Now here's how bad this is. This is where we're
headed off the fiscal cliff. And this is where it
(16:11):
gets very, very financially dangerous for the country. You know,
when when we start paying more on interest for the
national debt at you know, thirty seven trillion dollars because
they've been now we're exposing how they've been robbing hardworking
Americans and they've been hiding what it is they've been
spending the money on.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I mean, we're now at.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
For the first for this recent for this first quarter,
the federal government had a mind numbing eight hundred and
thirty eight billion dollar cash shortfall. And that's where the
this is all under Harris and Biden. And if you
do the math, that's over two and a half trillion
dollars that our deficit will explode this year. That brings
(16:53):
us to close to forty trillion dollars in debt. Okay,
now we're getting to the point where it becomes unsustainable,
and it is. It is mind numbing the numbers. You know,
you hear millions, billions and trillions, but now we're finding
hundreds of billions in all of this money in waste, fraud,
abuse and corruption. You know those you dug up another
(17:14):
one point nine billion in taxpayer money. The quote was misplaced.
How do you misplace one point nine million at the
Department of Housing in Urban Development?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
How does that happen? You know?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
How does the top agency recover that thumb? Only because
Elon Musk did it? And I know it's maybe fashionable,
although the American people are quickly not buying it. There
was a RASPMU some poll out on top of the
Perfalgar and Insider Advantage pole last week. You know, his
popularity is more and more people become aware of it.
(17:46):
They're going to realize Elon Musk is a national treasure.
And there's so much I want to tell you about
him that I don't want to tell you until after
the interview. And I'd never met him before, and I
spoke with him a significant time, both on air and
off air with him, and I just started asking him
about all his different projects. I mean, this is a
(18:07):
guy that started finding zip too and PayPal and SpaceX
where he was you know, he funded it himself chief engineer.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
He was bought into Tesla early. I saw that Cheryl
wants a name crow, you know, gave her Tesla to MPR.
My good, Give everybody that likes MPR, m PBS they
can start paying for their own for their own content,
because the American people shouldn't be paying for NPR or
any of you know, any of this nonsense or PBS.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
They have an agenda. It's radically left.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You know, he's worth four or five hundred billion dollars
and you know, what are the what is there to
hate about him exposing you? This is putting out personal information. No,
he's not putting personal information at risk. You know, how
do you possibly if you don't go line by line,
agency by agency, how are you going to root out
this corruption? There's no other way to do it. He
(19:03):
wasn't elected, No, but neither was Pam Bondy to be
the Attorney general or Pete Hegsath or any of the
other Trump nominees or RFK Junior.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Anyway, and you know this is a guy who envisions,
you know, and has a plan to put to get
spaceships to go to Mars and put plants on there
and see if life can be sustainable there.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
This is the guy that had the first private company
to place astronauts in orbit. This is a guy who
created Starlink, which offers internet coverage to one hundred countries
with these with these satellites that he launched.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I have Starlink. It's great. You know.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Starlink is also or star Shield, is designed to improve
our national security and national defense. If you recall during
Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, you know, especially people in
Tennessee and in the western part of North Carolina where
hammered so hard they were totally disconnected from the world.
(20:06):
Elon Musk donated Starlink so that people can communicate with
the rest of the world. Again, he did the same
thing for the people in the Pacific Palisades after the
wildfires out in California, and they hear him talk about
rescuing two astronauts that frankly were abandoned by Biden and
Harris for nearly three hundred days. They're only supposed to
(20:27):
be there for eight days. It's pretty remarkable. And why
is there this vitriol, this hatred, because he's exposing them.
He's shining a light on corruption, he's shining a light
on waste and abuse. He's not getting paid his salary.
He's doing it for free, you know, just like he
(20:50):
donates all this stuff for free, just like he's gonna
you know, he's helping people with communications for free, you know.
And then I started asking him at different times about
some of the other projects. I didn't know everything about
Elon Musk, but I really did a deep dive into him.
You might not know this. You buy a Tesla. They
have their own insurance company. Maybe guy should get a
(21:12):
Tesla next. Friends of mine swear by their Teslas. They
love it.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Cheryl Crow wants to punish Elon Musk and begin this
little boycott of hers to send a mess what are
you sending a message to? What are you miss sending
a message about what you don't You're perfectly fine. It's
acceptable to spend the money the way we've been exposing
how this money is being spent. That's okay with you.
You think it's fair to your children and grandchildren? Is
(21:38):
it fair to the average American that only makes sixty
six grand a year. When's the last time, Cheryl Crow?
It never left me? You know, yeah, at this point
in my life, I have money. I do, but I
didn't have it for a lot of years, and I
remember what it was like. It's the weirdest thing. Your
brain doesn't change. I mean, the people of my life
(21:59):
cannot believe Eve how I dress in my real life.
They just can't. Linda, how bad is it? You can
tell everybody. I don't care. You don't want to tell anybody. Oh,
she's Linda has left the building. She's she's departed for
different places. Uh, well, we have I think Jason is there?
(22:21):
Jason am I the fanciest dresser in the world. New No,
what do I wear every day? When I when you
see me?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Uh, you've got that old I got what I do?
I wear? I wear black T shirts usually homeless shelter
can hold me back.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Look, I'm the John vetterman and talk radio. I don't know,
and I, uh, what do you think he dresses better
than me? Though he's suggesting that he does not. I
wear I wear jeans. I've improved my look a little.
I mean, and I have to get dressed up. I'll
get dressed up.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You have holes in your sneakers.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I don't have holes in my I did one pair
of shoes years ago, and I didn't know it until
somebody pointed it out because I put my feet up.
I didn't I didn't know I had a hole in it.
I had no idea. You should never felt it yourself.
Might should be ashamed of myself. I mean, I mean,
at this point, I have everybody in my life. It
is sort of like an all hands on deck intervention
(23:26):
to get me to dress better, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Starting with my daughter, She's like, Daddy, stop, you're an
adult with a job. You should not have holes in
your sneakers. Okay, you shouldn't have it. Okay, yeah, I mean,
and then I have to find I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I mean, I think you look a lot better now,
I mean to me. You know, I'm sure it's between
Ainslie and your daughter and you know your sister, and
I think.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
We true it was. It's been an intervention in my
life because but.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I don't think you dressed me before. You just dressed
like a dude who didn't care.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
If I could, I'd still dress I still wear my
black T shirt, and I still have a if I'm
home or just not going anywhere, that's that's what I wear.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
But I don't think there's anything wrong with that, you know.
I mean, now you've got your boat shoes, you got
your fancy pants.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I'd no, no, no, no, no. I don't have boat shoes.
That is absolutely I do not have boat shoes. I
have the sneaker looking grip shoes, so they're really sneakers,
except they look a little dressier and they have that
white around the outside of it. Anyway, I digress. So
(24:35):
there is also a robotic part of Tesla, which I
is fascinating, But I think the most interesting thing is
the work that he's that Elan is doing in an
Ai and how much AI is going to change the world.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I was talking to somebody over the weekend. Somebody is
seeking my advice, and I said, get a trade. There's
a person that kind of has had, you know, a
few obstacles in their life and challenges, and I'm like, well,
are you really ready to make the change? I have said,
if you want my advice, my advice is to get
a trade. Become a plumber, become a contractor, become an electrician.
I don't care what it is. And I said, you know,
(25:14):
just beg somebody if you can intern with him, and
I guarantee you're going to get a job and then
learn that craft and go to school at night, and
you can really turn your life around. There was an
article about the next generation of millionaires are going to
be tradesmen because there's going to be such demand for it.
That's not something AI can take over either, not that
(25:35):
I can imagine in any way. But the most interesting
thing that I think that he's involved in. Have you
ever read about neuralink, Linda.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Do I have a what link?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Did you ever read about musk and neuralalink? Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
So it's really funny that you're asking about this. So
Sarah Carter's husband, Marty, is blind and one of the
things that noralink would do would really help people who
are block be able to see again. So we actually
followed pretty closely.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I talked to him about that, and a friend of mine,
Steve Wind, does not see well, and I talked about
he knows Steve, and I asked him would that help him?
But it integrates the human brain with AI, and by
the way, it's not putting a chip in your head.
I know people you know, more consumable.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah, it's a huge misconception.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, and but it has medical uses. For example, people
with spinal cord injuries, they think they might be on
the precipice, the cusp of inventing a way for them
to walk again and for the blind to see. I mean,
pretty amazing. Although I think my first question you're going
(26:42):
to find the funniest question, one of the funniest questions. Okay,
and it was me asking Trump about a lawsuit with Twitter.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, that's how I started the interview. It was pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
If you go back to the Twitter files, what do
we learned in the Twitter files?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
That?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
And I didn't have time to really delve deep into
this because I just there was so much to talk about.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Well, it's not relevant now anyways.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It's well, it isn't it isn't.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I mean the internal discussions to censor the very real
Hunter and Biden laptop.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
No. No, I just mean that you know now that
that you know Elon is there.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
He runs tip and how they exposed blackballing of conservatives
and how they you know, the internal workings about deciding
to suspend the President of the United States's account, the
close ties with Twitter to the FBI, which we've known about.
In the months leading up to the twenty twenty election,
they were meeting with big tech companies and and you
(27:43):
you don't give as much credit to Zuckerberg.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
As I do.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Way before the election, this is before we knew who
the winner or lose would be. He he had long
conversations with Jim Jordan, and then he wrote that letter
admitting to everything that they were involved in in the
discussions with the FBI, et cetera. And he agreed, Okay, uh,
we are out of that business, and we're at we're
(28:08):
getting out of the censorship business. And this was before
Trump was even elected anyway, So I think that that
tells me it was more sincere.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Although I know a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Of people just hate him, then they're going to always
forever hate him. I'm not saying I like or hate
him enough. But what the FBI did pre bunking that
laptop was unbelievable. And then just the day before we
learned in the Twitter files, the FBI tipped off Twitter
and then started sending them sensitive data and then Twitter,
(28:39):
they wanted Twitter to share sensitive data with the FBI.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well, I mean even look.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
At some of the payouts that we had of you know,
big you know digital news outlets that were literally the
invoice said social media censorship and social media, you know,
devising a plan to redirect you know, American citizens. I
mean this was as a very coordinated effort.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, or you know, or the CIA working with social media,
you know, and they wanted social media to put out
this information worldwide. And some of it was about COVID.
I mean, every instinct we had on COVID ended up
being right. We put the right people on the air
for COVID.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, and a few of them lost their medical licenses
and had to go to court. You think you'll ever
get their legal fees back?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
No, No, what do you think happened to me? I
mean when Jim Jordan told me that my social media
accounts were suppressed in the lead up to the twenty
twenty election, or that my private personal text messages, you
know that they didn't get from me, you know, they
released all of them publicly. I mean, just because I'm
(29:50):
a public figure, do I not have a right to
privacy not you know, or the effort to propagandize the
American people on COVID that all came out. That's why
I don't hate him. And when you get to know him,
I mean, he's such a fascinating guy in so many ways.
I mean, his brain works very differently, and then he's got,
you know, the innocence of a child.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
He really does. He's just fun and he enjoys life.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
He enjoys the thought of thinking about all of these
incredible human developments. I urge everyone watch The Men that
Build America on the History Channel and then look at
Elon and through those eyes today and he had a
message for billionaires that I thought was brilliant.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
It will air that tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Listen, everybody needs a safety personal security plan for you
and your family in this day and age. And I've
always had the right to carry a firearm. I still do.
But my first option is to get away. My second
option is well, thanks to the incredible technology that is Burner,
the less lethal launcher, that would be my second option,
and deadly force would be the last option. And the
(30:57):
beauty of Berner is it has powerful to term tear
gas kinetic rounds. You can hit a target fifty sixty
feet away, it can one shot can incapacitate an attacker
for up to forty minutes. And Berner is trusted now
by over five hundred government agencies, police departments, private security firms.
It's legal in all fifty states. You don't need a permit,
you don't need a background check. Please look at their videos.
(31:18):
See how powerful this is. Anyway, go to Bernard dot
com slash Hannity. You'll get ten percent off any purchase.
Look at the videos and decide for yourself. And I
have a story I'll tell you later in the week
about me and Burner. All right, Bernard dot com slash Hannity,
Everyone should have one.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Today, John Hannity.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Mac Democrats using law fair to try and stop every
action by a duly elected president.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Our legal team will join us, Roger Severino and Hans
Vons Bolkovski.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Great ahead,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
