Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody to the Sean Hannity Show. I don't know
if you're expecting me, but here I am. Sean will
be here any minute. He is a very busy man
and we respect him for that. If you'd like to
call in and share your thoughts with anything from the
results of last night's primaries, I know we were all
excited to see Francesca Han get hung. It's eight hundred
nine four to one, Shawn, that's eight hundred nine four
(00:21):
one seven three two six.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
One of the things that I love about working here
at the Sean Hannity Show, and I've been here about
twenty years for those of you who do or don't know,
is all of the interesting callers that we get right
and the question that we get a lot of times
is did you know?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Did you hear?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Are you seeing?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We are, We are seeing it all. We can't even
get to it all in one day. And one of
the big stories that we have on today is John Solomon.
As you guys know, he's the editor in chief of
Just the News, an incredible investigative journalist, and he has
now uncovered even more information about the lies that were
perpetrated across all of this nation in twenty twenty, and
(00:58):
so he's going to join us today. He's going to
tell us about what the conspiracy theories were and what
they weren't. And I think most of you already know
that the conspiracy theories that we thought were fake were
actually true and vice versa. We're also going to talk
a little bit about.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Our oh my god, you know what, Oh my gosh,
Sean Hannity, Hello, welcome to your show.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It's three and seven.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
It was so weird. I know. I apologize, by the way,
and you know what I was doing. I was a
Texan friend of mine and my sister for a reason
I won't go into right now. Anyway, I apologize anyway.
Glad you're with us, right down. Thank you, Scott, Shannon,
Thank you, Linda. Write down our toll free telephone number.
It's eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn, if
(01:39):
you want to be a part of the program. When
you're on a private call, I just kind of turned
down the headphones, which is stupid on my part. All
right now, I want to address last night, and I
want to address last Tuesday, and I want to address
the horrible poll numbers and We do have a lot
coming up today because we have John Solomon. I mean
when you hear this story about everything that we had
(02:03):
covered on this program. Remember Joe Biden bragging, you're not
getting a billion dollars. You're not unless you fire a prosecutor.
How odd that a vice president would shake down with
taxpayer money the government of Ukraine. You're not getting a
billion unless you fire this prosecutor. Who is that prosecutor? Well,
it just so happened he was interviewing the energy conglomerate Barisma.
(02:29):
Why would he care about any of that, Well, because
his son, Hunter, who we call zero experience Hunter, was
in fact on the board of Barisma, and Joe wanted
that investigation shut down and shut down quickly. And then
he bragged at the end of his statements saying, then,
son of a bee, they fired him. He was happy
(02:50):
they fired him. And then the infamous interview of Hunter,
going on Good Morning America, asked the question, well, you're
working for an energy conglomerate, you have any you have
any background, any experience in in oil or gas or energy? No? No, no, Ukraine. No,
Well there is we have now uncovered h Just Thenews
(03:14):
dot Com has John Solomon has and they have now
released documents, UH that apparently the deep state, the people
within our Department of Justice. Bill Barr was the Attorney
general at the time, that that's under his purview the FBI,
and what we learned is and by the way, Mike
(03:35):
Pompeo before him, and as well as Chuck Grassley, Ron Johnson,
Lindsey Graham, Devin Newness, Jim Jordan. You know, there was
an effort to basically use the FBI and spy agencies, uh,
to go after anybody that was exposing what was a
very true story about this They named by name Fox News. Well,
(04:00):
I don't think anybody on Fox News more than me
covered this story. They mentioned John Solomon by name, they
mentioned Greg Jarrett by name. The counterintelligence operation was code
named Round River, and it was launched during the twenty
twenty election by a task force under then FBI, I'm sorry,
(04:21):
under then Attorney General Bill Barr. And remember the FBI
is part of the Department of Justice. And what they
were trying to do is anybody that was telling the
truth about this issue was being maligned and it was
a propaganda campaign. I can't believe, you know, it was
like a mirror opposite of the Russia collusion probe of
(04:42):
Crossfire Hurricane, in which the FBI pursued on substantiated allegations
spread by Democrats. They knew this was to be was
all true, and all these documents now are being released
and we're finding out more and more every day, and
apparently there's tens and tens of thousands more. We're going
to get to that, all right, But back to my
what I originally wanted to talk about at the start
of the show today is the last two weeks, we
(05:06):
have now witnessed something that we should not have to
deal with as a country, and that is horrible, horrible, destructive.
Even Polly, Now you got to understand something here. There's
a reason we pick certain posters to be on this
show and to be on Hannity the TV show, because
(05:27):
they're good, if not great, at what they do. We
have Matt Towery insider advantage. We have Robert Kahley Trafalgar
who nailed, by the way, the South Carolina race with
Darlene Graham, who came in, you know, by a comfortable
margin first and will now have a runoff coming up soon.
(05:49):
And we use John McLaughlin and there are so few
others Linda, who else who We taught Mark Penn is
actually fairly accurate for a Democratic poster. He's with the
Harris pole, but he's just an honest guy. He wants
to tell the truth. So the question here is last week,
going in to the Michigan Senate primary, el Sayed was
(06:13):
supposed to win and run away with. It wasn't supposed
to be a cliffhanger. It became a very very tight,
close election. Now there are a lot of reasons for this,
but that's that's the first question we have got to ask,
is why these posters so god awful? I mean, when
(06:33):
I looked at you know what, when we were going
into yesterday and there Wisconsin gubernatorial primary, and of this
lunatic that doesn't like Thanksgiving, it's Elsaiah that doesn't like
fireworks in the fourth of July. But you know, she
was winning by a massive amount. You know, polling consistently
(06:54):
ranked Francesca hag who lost by three thousand votes. You know,
made headlines the issue of Thanksgiving and her proximity to whiteness.
You know, she was so far ahead of Crowley. I'll
give you one poll for example this week. In other words,
Monday had her up forty six twenty three. Linda, does
(07:16):
that seem like a pretty large margin and a poll
to be leading, you know the week of the primary
seemed like a pretty big number to me. Yes, sir,
you know, yeah, you call me sir. Are you sick?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And you do you like to be dude?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You have do you have a father?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Buddy?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
You must have a fever, my dear friends. Okay, So
you know, I started going through this and started realizing,
and I think it was media. I did an article
on this Fox News Digital Calmness Day. Dave Marcus took
issue with the polling, called it grotesque. You know, all
the people that are in the political polling business, et cetera,
(07:58):
they all weighed in. They all said it's horrible, etc.
It's beyond horrible because poles can often influence turnout. Now,
think about this, If you think your candidate has has
something in the bag, are you going to really take
the time and the effort to go out to the
(08:19):
polls and vote. Well, you know, what's the point. This
thing's in the back. You know, somebody's up twenty points
every poll there. I think the last what was it,
twelve poles in a row had her leading by a
pretty significant margin. You just have to be kidding me,
and it is. There has to be something done here.
(08:41):
Wasn't there an issue with Trump and the Des Moines
register and a poll? Remember that that issue that came up? Yes,
you're right, Yeah, what was that issue about? You had
this longtime polster and I guess what had him losing
ie or something. I don't remember what the circumstances were,
but you know, we've dealt with this issue before, but
not on this level, not with such a consequential midterm
(09:05):
election coming up. I mean, if you're off there, you
can be off. Polling is not precise in terms of
the science, but to be this off and have all
these posters this far off, maybe maybe I suspect and
(09:26):
I'm worried if whether or not bad polling could have
an influence on the psyche of voters, because I'm telling
you right now, if I think my candidate's up twenty points,
do I really want to go vote in the primary.
I'm a busy man, is my answer. And I'm not
trying to be a jerk about it. I just think
(09:47):
that a lot of people can interpret it that way
and that's a problem. And you know, I want you
to take this in and absorb this because this midterm
election years, that's serious for crying out loud, and I'm
just stunned by that part of it. Two weeks in
(10:08):
a row this has happened. Now, there is one other factor,
but this should have been picked up by the polling
long before. You know, if you have somebody up twenty
points after a ton of money, Now, this is what
the Democratic Party, This is how corrupt they are. You
see what started this weekend with AOC on one of
(10:28):
the Sunday programs, and I think ABC Jonathan Carl was
a fluffy interview and she's like, oh no, that was
that was woke one point. Oh, we didn't really mean
all the stuff that we say about funding the police,
eliminating the presidency, the Senate, you know, et cetera. Listen
to what she says controversial statements.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'm sure you've seen. I mean, she's you know, the
Thanksgiving dust up. She says she doesn't, you know, still
believe that, but you know, the abolished prisons, abolished police,
which is also positions been taken by a lot of
the progressive candidates who have won. How do you get
around that? Yeah, not positions that are supported by right.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
I mean, I think that a lot of these races,
even right now, they'll have a tendency to be nationalized.
But these races ultimately are local, and all politics are local.
My understanding is that is that Francesca Hang has made
clear her present stances.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
To her life. She's moved away from all right.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
She's moved away from it. And I have a local
city councilman that has this.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Saying, woke one was crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
One was crazy one. It's crazy. Well, if you look
at the DSA website, woke one is still up there,
and it's even worse than we thought. And it's all
I'm writing. I'll make a prediction here. Now. Notice that
the Dynamic duo, the Fight, the Oligarchy duo of Grandpa
Burnie Naoc, they were in Michigan, you know, championing Elsaied
(12:07):
and trying to help him in Michigan. Neither one of
them endorsed Francesca and you have to ask why. And
I'm going to make a prediction the DSA that has
us on their website in writing, eliminate the Senate how
we choose a president, the judiciary, Amnesty for illegals, abolished borders,
(12:29):
abolish iceed, defund the Department of War and all deportation,
eliminate cash bell the wealth tax. They want established, the
Green New Deal, cradle to grave, woom to tomb, Abolish
prisons and police, and public ownership of most corporations. I'm
going to make a prediction that's all going to come
(12:49):
down because internal polling is showing the American people are
not going to buy this crap, and so what they
are going to do is I was just woke. One point.
I didn't mean defunded, mantle, nobail. It just means they
are adopting a new power strategy, which is to lie
(13:12):
and use propaganda and misinformation and distortion to garner power
in a different way. They're not changing their heart. You can't.
How do you go? Oh, that was just woke.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
One.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I didn't really mean defund this man. I didn't mean
open borders. I didn't mean any of the thing. I
didn't mean God was non binary. I mean, of course
it's our father. I didn't mean that there are six genders.
I was just talking about people identifying as certain things
and so I was just trying to count them to
be inclusive, and they will try to make every excuse imaginable.
(13:46):
And so we're now at a point where we've got
an information. Crist Man, how did Abigail Spamberger. She has
got into office and did everything she never discussed or
talked about or said she would do. And when hardcore
radical left in the Commonwealth of Virginia and everybody's furious
(14:08):
or poll numbers are in the in the tank and
people bought into her strategy? What did Joe Biden do
in twenty twenty hit in the basement. They're just going
to go back and purposely, you know, manipulate and not
expose themselves for who they were. The one moment Obama
had was, you know, spread the wealth thrown. But this, this, this,
(14:30):
this is now going to be a party that evolves
into the party of lying, lying to gain power. Mark
my words. One day I'll come on the show. Linda
will say hello first, and then I will come in
after and I will say, guess what was taken down
from the DSA's website, their platform. That's coming eight hundred
(14:53):
nine four one Shawn all Right, eight hundred nine four
one Shawn if you want to be a part of
the program. Have you ever seen polling this bad? You know,
I want this audience to understand something, because this is critical.
You cannot let polls impact your thinking when it comes
time for voting. You just can't. You know, the level
(15:17):
of which the last three presidential elections that most polling
organizations got wrong the election is spectacular. One of the
things the polling groups do that they think they're very clever.
If they have an agenda and they lean left, is
they will show, you know, a massive lead for this
(15:40):
candidate or that candidate, obviously in the hopes of either
deflating the motivation of one side or increasing enthusiasm on
the part of another party that they support. But it
does have an impact on people's psyche and brains. But
you know, when a poll comes out out the week
of a primary that shows one candidate up by twenty points,
(16:05):
that's a big problem to me. And I think it's
gonna I only think it's gonna get worse. The one
thing that these polling companies have in common with the
exceptions of the people that I mention, and that is
that they never canpoll Donald Trump right. They don't poll
Donald Trump Wright. That's why we have very specific posters
(16:26):
that we allow on this program. By the way, big
congratulations my dear friend Lindsay Grammer still can't believe he's gone.
His sister Darlene placed first by a pretty healthy margin
in the Republican primary to fill Lindsay's seat for the
six year term after his unexpected death. You know I
(16:46):
said this during the memorial. Lind actually gave me a
compliment about the eulogy I gave. Eulogies are the hardest,
the hardest things to give. I'm not somebody that ever
wants to break down publicly, and you think that's wrong, Linda.
Is that toxic masculinity in me or what is that?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I'm a big fan of toxic masculinity, so I don't
think I'm the right audience to ask that question too.
I'm all for more toxic masculinity. I think we could
use a lot more. I don't think you honor them.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I don't think you honor the person that you're trying
to eulogize if you lose it. Does that make sense? Yes,
I agree with you, but I mean, but on the
other hand, it's a normal human reaction. I mean, I've
been to plenty of eulogies where people lost it plenty,
and every single time I want to go up there
(17:38):
and like give the person a hug and tell them
it's okay.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And everybody deals with death differently. You're very stoic, you
take it very seriously. It's not something that anyone enjoys doing,
and you kind of just move your way through. Then
there's other people who cry from the second day get
the news till the person they're standing at the gravesite.
Everybody's different.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
You know, it's that that is one hundred percent true.
I mean, I don't know. I mean I grew up
very Catholic family and I at a young age was
exposed to these three day wakes with the coffin open
and the person there that you're right in your observation
that people deal with death differently. And you know, you'd
(18:22):
have one group of people in one corner and they're
just telling jokes and having a good you would think
to have in the time of their life, and there's
not a dead body in the room that they're looking at.
It doesn't mean that they're not hurt and they're not
feeling bad about what happened. And then that's what I learned.
You can't judge how a person felt about someone that
passed based on their reaction, whether they're crying or not crying.
(18:45):
Then you have another group of people, at least at
it like an Irish wake. Well, I guess I'm still
allowed to make fun of Irish, right, because I'm Irish.
I can't make fun of anyone else these days. But
you know what an Irish seven course meal is, right?
And what is it?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
What is six potato baby?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Six pack of a potato exactly? But there's they would
have the body laid out for three days in a coffin,
and then you'd hear some ridiculous comments, Oh don't you
think they look so good? I might be looking at them.
I'm like, what the hell are you talking about? They
look they're dead. They got they got more makeup than
(19:29):
I put on from a you know, for TV, which
takes me about thirty seconds every night. I refuse to
spend a lot of time on that. I just I
just refuse. And then you got another group of people
on an Irish wake, at least ones I went to
just being blunt, and you know they are you know
passing around a bottle of whiskey and taking shots in
(19:50):
honor of the dead person. Group's there too. Then you
have the group of whalers. They're just, oh my gosh,
inconsolable nonsense up crying. But they're not even the worst.
I mean, I understand it. People again, they all react differently.
Then it's did you ever see this at an Irish wake?
(20:12):
People walk up to the coffin and they start touching
the dead body and kissing the forehead and the cheek
and holding the hand of the dead person.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm not gonna lie to you. I am. I am
one of those Catholics. I have done that.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
You have touched a dead person in a in a
at a wake, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I go up and put their hand on the you know,
typically on the uh yeah, I know, on the beads,
those three beads, and you know, say a Hail Mary
and potentially in our father.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
And you touch the dead body in the coffin. Yeah, bro,
are you not.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Paying my respects? No, man, gotta pay your respects.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Okay, You're You're in the weirdo category. To me, that
is nuts, that is I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I am sure.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
If you ask America there are plenty of people who
do this.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I am not alone, No Ethan. Would do you ever
do that? No way, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
But I understand why someone might.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Why why would you touch a dead body? Why would
you ever do.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
That the last time? They're getting to touch their loved one,
Even though their souls might have moved on, it's still
their body.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
They're not there anymore, they're in heaven.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's not for them, it's for you. You're you're doing
it that that's a selfish moment. You know.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
It's like your grandma or whatever. It's like that old
country song. God only cries for the living because they're
the ones left to carry on. We already know that.
That is what Linda is saying, is this is for her,
not for the dead person.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
You've never touched one though, I would not know, Katie, would.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
You I have?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yes? I have? Thank you, Katie. Clearly the women on
this team are longer.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I mean, it's your family member.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
It's not a streak.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
March will be thirty years since my dad passed. Can
you believe that? Thirty years? I can't believe it? And
so this is all in my head too, not only
because of Lindsay. But because you've watched the movie Heaven
Is Real, right, I met.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
That whole family in your studio, your Pole family. Incredible family,
incredible story, and it's one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
And anyway they stay pieced together. That you know, when
he was very, very sick and he had his appendix
burst and he was in the hospital although he's never
officially dead, although one of the people I had on
my panel was declared dead for thirty minutes and forty
five seconds. Can you believe that insane? That's insane and
(22:48):
no brain damage when they brought him back, they were
able to bring him back crazy, but he you know,
there's certain when he started talking about like things that
a four year old would never know, and he went
to have an and he described sitting in Jesus's lap,
his description of God, I'm not going to give it
all away. It was like I was like wow. And
(23:10):
then the guy that told history the same thing, the
description was exactly the same. When you read these near
death experiences where people that claim they went to heaven
and came back, I mean they see past relatives. Well,
you start with the tunnel and your life flashes before
your eyes. In seconds, and the tunnel and the light
(23:32):
and in some cases the light versus the darkness, you know.
And one guy's telling a story about he had to
call out the name of Jesus Christ because there was
a battle for his soul going on because he had
not committed fully in his life and he knew to
do that because he was somewhat agnostic. And then anyway
landed in paradise and got very emotional describing himself meeting Jesus.
(23:57):
And you know, do I believe all of it? Yeah?
I believe there is an afterlife. I do believe that.
I believe this heaven. I believe this hell, and I
believe you know, you better be in the right spot
when you die. Period and a sentence. They don't leave
it there full stop. Uh wow, you have freaked me out.
I cannot believe who knew? Who knew? I'd rather be
(24:22):
hanging out with the guys drinking the whiskey. And I
don't even like whiskey.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I didn't say I didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Also, it was just usually after maybe that's what caused
you to go, you know, make out with the dead body.
Oh what's going on? Uncle Joe? Gonna miss you kiss.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Now here's a question only because Sean keeps bringing up
his demise. Will you touch his body eventually?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
If that's absolutely not, Why not?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Would be disrespectful to you. That's all I need is
you're looking down from having Oh look, look she's.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Grabbing my hands. My day has been a mess today.
I've had everything that could possibly go wrong go wrong
today in my life. It's like unbelievable. I hear you. Well,
there is an eclipse.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You know the universe is a little wonky today?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Is that what's going on? Someday?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
There was a partial eclipse today?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Mm hm oh did it happen already? Did I miss it?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
You did see it, probably on your cell phone. No,
I didn't see it. I was working like everybody else.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
By the way, John Fetterman just made a vow not
to campaign against the Republican Senator Dave McCormick. They're good friends.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
They've been friends a long time.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
There are new Sienna University poll on New York's governor's
race finds a Bruce. I'm gonna ask O'Riley about this.
Why does O'Reilly's why is he going to stay in
New York? All my accountants for years when I lived there.
I've been out years now. You know, said don't die
in New York. Whatever you do, they're gonna the death
tax is going to kill you. If you're in the
city now and I'm not against his death tax, you're dead.
(25:56):
Holkal leeds the Republican challenger by ten points going into
this Pole last poll had it a four point race.
You know, my fear for Bruce Blakeman. Bruce Blakeman is
your last chance, like Hilton's the last chance in California
to save California. Bruce Blakeman will be your last shot
in New York of saving your state. The problem that
(26:18):
I worry about, and I've told this Bruce, I told
this to Bruce directly, is I just fear too many
people like me left and they're not coming back. I mean,
there's more Wall Street firms and banking you know, banking
institutions and finance institutions. Wall Street South is very real.
You know what the doxing of people, you know, with
(26:42):
this proposed tax that got shot down by the courts,
you know that have second residences in New York, Well,
they're spending money in New York when they go up there.
Why would you be against it. They're paying the taxes
on whatever. Now you want to go after them and
you want to embarrass them. It's unbelievable. Who's going to
put up with that? Progressive Senate primary winner Peggy Flanagan
(27:03):
threatens violence against Ice. She scored an impressive win in
Minnesota's Democratic primary for Senate. Wants to blow up Ice
and after two slangs rattled her state earlier in the year.
Let's talk about Donald Trump's out of control Ice force,
she said during the victory speech last night. We need
(27:23):
to rest in peace Ice apart and stop them from
terrorizing our community. Well, sorry, we have something called the Constitution,
and there is something called the supremacy Clause, and federal
laws are enforced by the federal government. That's simple. Todd Blanche,
(27:44):
take note, be launching an investigation because that sounds like
violent rhetoric. What do you mean rest in peace? What
does that mean like Obamma saying, hell, put mister Burgess
up against Sean Hannity, He'll tear them up. If I
