Speaker 1 (00:00):
The best of Sean Hennedy is on.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Well we have come in your city, sing you come down,
will be and if you want a little banging.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
I come along home.

Speaker 5 (00:28):
A short time ago, the US military carried out massive
precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the
Iranian regime for Doau, Natanz and Esfahan around the bully
of the Middle East must.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Now make peace.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
If they do not, future attacks would be far greater
and a lot easier.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Come in to your center, going the way out against
Alazon Sane you a conscious saw.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Sean Hennity Show, more me I'm the scenes, information on
freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.

Speaker 6 (01:20):
All right, thank you, Scott Chad An Hour two Sean
Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine four one. Seawn is
our number if you want to be a part of
the program. There was so much discussion, uh, because the
president's stated goal was to eliminate Iran can't have nukes,
and part two of it was to protect our interests
and our assets and are and fellow Americans that are

(01:44):
in the region. That part of the plan that was
that was that was in place long before any bomber
took off from Missouri or anywhere, and hence you saw
earlier today with the symbolic telegraphed, Oh, we're gonna fire back,
you know, but it's not really. We're not really attacking.

(02:04):
We just need to be able to say face. I mean,
it's so it's so ridiculous, it's so stupid, but it
is what it is. President Trump actually now has responded
to this, and rightly so, you know, by calling it
a very weak response. And you know, no Americans were harmed.
Not one of these these missiles fired at our Katari

(02:27):
base ever hit the ground. They were all taken out
of the air. You know, Supreme Leader saying Iran will
not accept any harassment. After the attack on the US base,
they told everybody what they were doing. It's very reminiscent
of what happened after the killing of Salmoney.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
They said, yeah, we're going to fire all.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
These missiles, but we're gonna miss because they don't want
the wrath of Donald Trump. It is extraordinarily weak, but
it is something you've got to be concerned about because
there are Americans in the region. These are American bases.
There are lives always, you know, in jeopardy whenever there's
any military action. You don't want to see one American

(03:11):
hurt in any capacity. And as we've been discussing, you know,
they gained out any possible retaliatory strikes, not the least
of which is hitting our bases or mining the straits
of horn Moves, which they have temporarily closed down. And
then of course we have always discussed the possibility of
the known terrorists that Joe Biden and Kamala and may

(03:33):
Orcus and the complicit media that never reported on the
wide open borders and Democrats that led and said that
the borders were closed and secure. But that includes hundreds
of people from Iran and many that were caught by
the Biden administration that them were still released into the country.

(03:54):
Iran's for Doux facility has suffered massive destruction. It looks
like their nuclear program has been wiped out as of now.
Now the question is what the future will hold for
the Uranians. Now there's a couple of things that can
happen simultaneously. When the President mentioned regime change, that wasn't
the original goal. I took it very differently than the

(04:17):
way others took it, and I think that's important. It's
important to make a distinction here. And when the President
tweeted out make Iran great again, m IgA, he's basically
saying these to the Iranians. Now, Remember every single every

(04:38):
single target was the nuclear facilities of the Iranians, which
the President very clearly stated and gave them all the
time in the world to accept a deal. The Israelis
have only been targeting military targets. The Iranians have been
targeting heavily populated civilian areas. And it chose just the

(04:59):
whole mindset because it's a terrorist regime and a terrorist
regime that has killed untold thousands, tens of thousands of
people in the region, and that they have been the
number one state sponsor of terror. And they helped orchestrate
the October seventh attacks. And that's the CUDS Forces Iranian

(05:21):
Revolutionary Guards Forces, although their numbers, their generals are dwindling
and very quickly. I mean, three more leaders were taken
out by the Israelis in the last three days and
they you know.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
I don't even know what to say about this.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
It seems like the Iranians are so overwhelmed by what
the US military was able to accomplish on Saturday night,
and the fact that we own their skies, they have
no shot at protecting themselves doesn't mean there won't be
other attacks. We've got to be forever vigilant. But I
don't want to see any single American get hurt, and

(06:02):
the risks always associated with military efforts. But with that said,
I would imagine that the Israelis have a far greater
interest in dismantling Iran and have every right to dismantle
Iran at whatever degree they deem necessary. I mean, they

(06:22):
have been firing, through either directly or through their proxies,
hundreds of thousands of missiles into Israel. And if the
Israelis decide to take out their refineries and destroy their economy,
I don't blame them. If they decide to knock out
their power grid so that you have instability in the
country that would lead to regime change, I don't blame them.

(06:46):
If the Israelis decide to take out the Supreme Leader
and the leadership of the Iranian you know, the Republic
of Iran, I don't blame them either. Because there's only
so many times you can attack to Israel before they
have a right to defend their country and their very
existence has been threatened here and it really has come

(07:09):
to It came to this moment because the Iranians were
building out two possible plans. One was the enrichment plan,
and according to every report, they were at sixty percent
enrichment and to get from sixty to ninety percent weapons
great in richment was a matter of days, not even

(07:29):
a full month, it was just weeks, and so that
would mean they were in nuclear power. And now they're
getting more and more capability in terms of their missile
capability and greater distances involved. That would be a clear
and present danger to every country in the region and
eventually the continental United States. It just had to be done,

(07:49):
and the timing couldn't have been greater. They were going
to go from ballistic missiles to two thousand pounds which
is very lethal, to four thousand pounds, which is extraordinarily lethal.
And we know what their targets are, and those were
civilian targets. And now the question is what will happen next, No,
it's anybody's guest. Oli Sofavi is with us and Ali

(08:15):
is a member of the Iranian parliament in exile and
National Council of Resistance of Iran and president of the
Nieres Policy Research Group, a consulting and policy analysis firm
in DC.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Sir, how are you.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
You've studied this now and you've taught at UCLA and
University of Los Angeles, Michigan, and have been an activist
or in the anti Shaw student movement. What do you
make of these events and what do you make of
what's happening?

Speaker 7 (08:44):
Well, first of all, I'm about to be a new show, Sean,
thank you for the opportunity. I think we are witnessing
a historic moment. I think finally the day of reckoning
is arriving for these criminal mommas who hijacked the popular
revolution after the Villian people rose up and throughout another
dictator into the ash ship of history. The Sharp regime

(09:06):
and of course has brutalized the Wanian people. You mentioned
ten of thousands of Americans and foreign nationals being executed
or killed by this regime. Well one hundred thousand the
dissidents have been executed by this regime in the past
forty six years, including thirty thousand in nineteen eighty eight alone,

(09:27):
ninety percent of them from our movement, the mek Ad
that is known in the United States, And clearly I
think we are on the brink of change in Iran.
But of course the kind of change that we in
vision is not from above, is from the bottom by
the Iranian people and the organized resistance. And actually we

(09:48):
have been working at this for the past four decades
within Iran at great cost. Right now, the mek affiliated
resistance units are active in virtually every city in Iran.
They have been like in two thousand and twenty four,
they carried out some three thousand acts of resistance against

(10:09):
the IRGC and its paramilitary shocking to the Mea siege. So,
as the leader of our movement, Missus Rajavi said a
few days ago at the European Parliament, it is time
for the international community to stand with their Ringian people,
to stand with the opposition movement, the resistance movement, to

(10:33):
bring down this regime. And I think and unless the
molas are overthrown, the kind of crisis that we have
been witnessing over the past ten years or so will continue.
You know that. Just after the October seventh, Missus Raged
said that the head of the Snake of Terrorism and
more mongering is in Tehran, so that snake must be beheaded,

(10:56):
and of course that's none other than Alijharini. But as
I said, it is the Ivonian people that will accomplish this,
joined by the organized resisious movement, and so the day
of reckoning that I said is coming, and that we
are of course hard at work to make that from reality.

(11:17):
But of course what we need is the political and
moral support of the United States Europe. We don't want
any boots underground, we don't want any money, we don't
want any weapons. The Ivanian people are quite capable and
willing to give what it takes to reclaim the country
from these honors and get along the democracy.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Let me ask you this. I think this is very important.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
What would you imagine is likely to unfold now that
the strike took place in the nuclear facilities devastated and
President Trump did warn the people in Tehran to get
out immediately and made clear that his issues are not
with the uranium people but with the government that rules

(12:04):
over them with an iron fist.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
Yes, well, that's an excellent question. First of all, the
three sites that you mentioned, actually our movement exposed two
of them, one the Natan site in the two thousand
and two and the photo Sute in two thousand and five.
But I think what is going to unfold is for
you to see that the Iranian people will ultimately come

(12:27):
to the streets once the one of repression is cracked.
And that's exactly what the emicare resistance units are doing
as we speak. They are not the tip of the
spear that will make that one of repression crumble, because
it is the Well, let me ask you this.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
The President did not have a goal of anything other
than to take out the nuclear sites. But I would
imagine Israel, which has been subject to never ending terror camp,
a never ending terror campaign and threats to wipe the
entire country off the map by the leadership of Iran.
I would imagine that they have their sights on the

(13:07):
Supreme leader, and probably on their economy, which would be
your refineries which are clustered together on that little island,
and their infrastructure, which we made in the entire power grid,
could be taken out, probably with just two or three strikes,
and at that point, the Iranian regime, the Iranian people
would suffer, and I would imagine that would probably precipitate

(13:30):
some type of change.

Speaker 7 (13:32):
Well, I think that the Iranian people already basically ready
for change. Remember that since twenty seventeen, there have been
five major uprisings in Iran, the latest of which was
in twenty twenty two, and ironically, during those nationwide protests
in which seven hundred and fifty of our fellow compatriots

(13:56):
were massacred by THERGC, the people were unif formally chanting
deest to the oppressor, whether the show or the leader,
meaning that for them, the future does not involve the
return of the crown and the cloak which they threw
into the dust benel history. Nor are they content with

(14:16):
the turbine and the rope which the monos represents. They
want a representative government and through the ballot parks, and
indeed that is what our movement and our leader is
promising a ten point plan for the future of you
run with guarantees gender equality.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
The Let me let me ask you this, do you
believe that this regime will survive? Based on what we
know now and not anticipating any assistance for regime change
from the US.

Speaker 7 (14:48):
I do not believe it will survive. I think, quite frankly,
with what happened last on Friday night, two nights.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Ago on Saturday night.

Speaker 8 (14:59):
Yeah, I apologies.

Speaker 7 (15:01):
I think we've turned the page. I think the policy
of appeasement, I think and suffered the great blow. And
you correctly said that the Biden administration tried to cajole
this regime, try to give it concessions as in the
Obama administration. I think as long as in ternatal community
does not offer any lifeline to this fashion, I think

(15:23):
the one people can top of them all us because
remember that the regime used the windfall of the JCPO
A hundreds of millions of dollars to not only boost
its proxy forces in the region, but also to strengthen
and empowers reflective forces. So if that lifeline is not
given to them, there are many people are quite capable and.

Speaker 8 (15:44):
Ready to do it.

Speaker 6 (15:45):
Look, it has to come from them and regime change.
You you always have to worry what's on the other
side of it. Is it going to be worse? Although
I don't think you can get worse than the Supreme
Leader company, I do not.

Speaker 7 (15:58):
Believe it will be worse Sean. You know this narrative
that Iran will become another Libya. I submit to you
it's being promoted by the regime's lobby inside the Bethway.
Iran is one of the two national states in the Midlice.
It had a civilization of several thousand years. It has
an educated population, it has a young population. Most importantly,

(16:21):
it has organized opposition, and so as such that this
opposition is has a planning place to step in the
day after and lead Iran to democracy very very quickly.
And so I do not believe that Ali will be happening.
By the way, our movement has freemenous support in the

(16:44):
United States, among them in Congress majority.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
We're gonna watch it very closely. I'm just up on o'clock, Ali, Sofabi.
I don't mean to interrupt you. Please forgive me, but
we're just out of time. But I do appreciate you
being with us, and I wish your country the best,
and I hope they joined free World in the future.
But that's gonna be up to the Iranian people in the.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
End, making America first, safe and great again.

Speaker 9 (17:10):
This is the Sean Hannity Show.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Hey, don't forget.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
Cat's the best of the Sean Hannity Show every weekend
right here on this station. And while you're running errands
and doing chores and just relaxing. Hey, make sure you
are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.
Every week right here on this station. You are listening

(18:00):
to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Breaking news, straight from the source. This is the Sean
Hannity Show.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
Well, Democrats predictably, and this is why twenty twenty six
is going to be so important. It's impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
It's all they've got.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
They've got racist, fascist, Nazi Hitler, Stalin Mussolini and impeachment, impeachment.
You know, it's the same old talking points for them,
and it is pretty outrageous because you have the likes
of Al Green he now wants to impeach Donald Trump
because he used military force and took out the Iranian

(18:42):
nuclear sites and made the world a safer place. And
just just put that in a little bit of perspective,
AOC is saying the same thing, Congresswoman Omar saying the
same thing. And then you got the likes of Chucky
Schumer and a Keem Jefferies that are so scared of
their own base they can't even pray Donald Trump for
making the world a safer place.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
But of course, the same people that allowed all these
Iranian nationals, over eight hundred that they knew were from Iran,
that Biden's still released into the country.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Let's see, I'm from Iran.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
I'm going to go to the southern border, and I'm
hoping for a better life for me and my children.
I'm going to make that long trek that's where I'm headed. Okay,
maybe some I could buy that. Do you think that
maybe the country, the Republic of Iran, maybe sent known
operatives into our country. We know we have known terrorists
in the country. We know we have Iranian assassination squads

(19:37):
in the country, and we just arrested a number of them.
As a matter of fact, ICE arrested eleven Iranian nationals
in the last forty eight hours. They're trying to do
everything they could possibly do to protect the homeland. And
I've been saying now for the longest time, as this
crisis at the border the most preventable national security crisis

(19:58):
in our history, that it's not a matter of if,
it's a matter of when we are attacked. Now, none
of these Democrats cared about Obama going after bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen,
Somalia or Pakistan. They didn't care about George W. Bush
Afghanistan in Iraq or Bill Clinton Iraq, Serbia, Sudan, Afghanistan.

(20:20):
They didn't care about George H. W. Bush Iraq and Panama, Reagan,
Libya of Grenada. And you know, well, Greg Jarred will
join us in a moment. But then, of course you've
got geniuses like Jasmin Crockett. I'm the one that's supposed
to make the effing decision on bombing Iran. Oh really, Jasmine, President,
Jasmine Crockett, And to.

Speaker 10 (20:40):
Understand enough about the Constitution to the extended, I'm the
one that's supposed to make a decision.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Or at least get both.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
Okay, Anyway, Greg Jarrett, hawks News legal Analysts, best selling author,
a number one New York Times bestselling author, is with us.
I thought you wrote the definitive column. I don't know
if you heard me on radio yesterday. On TV last night,
I was quoting it extensively, and you pointed out that
Congress already granted consent for a president for exactly the
type of action that the president was used on Saturday night,

(21:13):
and you pointed out after September eleventh, oh one, it's
known as the Authorization for Use of Military Force Act
tell Us for the powers that it grants the president.
Although I would argue that the War Powers Act is
unconstitutional in and of itself and has always been a
BS argument anyway, But go ahead, because we do it.
He does have Article two powers. He is the commander

(21:34):
in chief.

Speaker 11 (21:35):
Yes, he absolutely does, and I agree with all of
what you said. Let's begin with the constitution Article two.
The president's commander in chief of the armed force is
easy empowered to direct military operations to deter foreign threats
to our national security. That is established over two hundred years.

(21:56):
You know, Thomas Jefferson on his used the military to
save lives. And you know, a nuclear armed Iran controlled
by a maniacal regime posed the ultimate peril, and Trump
had an affirmative duty to act preemptively. It was bold,

(22:17):
it was necessary, and frankly he should be commended, not condemned.
But you know, political fury in the age of Trump
requires that Democrats react irrationally and impetuously in opposition. They
pay no attention to the known facts, the law and
the Constitution. As I pointed out in my comment, thank

(22:41):
you for mentioning it yesterday. You know, when Bernie Sanders
and AOC say, oh, it's grossly unconstitutional, Congress has to approve. Well,
Congress already did approve in two thousand and one, as
you point out, they passed the Authorization for Use of
Military Force and it granted the president extraordinary powers to

(23:04):
target nations that he determines aided and embedded the terrorists
or harbored the perpetrators of nine to eleven. You know,
these democrats, assuming they can read and comprehend sipoo simultaneously,
should should just take a gander at the nine to
eleven report. It was Iran that actively aided an abetted

(23:26):
attacks on America, giving al Qaeda terrorists training, intelligence, transit, logistics,
weaponry funding. They even harbored al Qaeda terrorists. You know,
Democrats never complained when Obama utilized the AUMF on numerous occasions.

(23:49):
You mentioned some of them Olivia, Somalia, Syria, Pakistan. I
think the county is some twenty six thousand bombs were
dropped by Obama. Democrats enthusiastically supported. They said it's completely
constitutional and lawful. And Biden did the same, he ordered

(24:13):
airstrikes in Iraq. Democrats cheered, but only now because it's
Donald Trump. Those same Democrats are howling in protest. And
that's all there is to it. It's just because it's
Donald Trump.

Speaker 6 (24:29):
So I agree with your analysis. And people, many of
them forgot about the authorization after the nine to eleven attacks.
But let's go to the War Powers Act in particular.
First of all, no president has ever accepted the War
Powers Act and followed through on an interpretation that would
limit their capacity to wage war or conduct military strikes

(24:53):
when they thought that it was in the best interest
of the country. I would argue its legislative interference and
that executive authorization as commander in chief and the Constitution
and Article two is very clear and unambiguous. It's from
the nineteen seventies, and I believe it is unconstitutional and violates,

(25:16):
you know, violating the article by trying to take over
the authority of the president. And you know, but with
all that said, the president can also use weapons in
military actions for sixty days without any congressional authorization per
the War Powers Act. If we're going to be that
if we want to be that specific about what it says.

Speaker 11 (25:38):
Yes, you're absolutely correct. So you know, when AOC, you know,
says it's a violation of the Congressional War Powers I
believe she's referring to the nineteen seventy three War Powers Resolution,
but you know, she doesn't really realize it. She's probably

(26:00):
never read it. But the War Powers Resolution is a
notification requirement to Congress. It's not a prohibition on military action.
And in fact, Trump complied he notified Congress. AOC says
it's an impeachable offense. You know, that's silly, But you're right, Sean,

(26:26):
that some presidents have actually just said I'm not gonna
comply with the War Powers Act, including Barack Obama and
his extensive military strikes in Libya, and at one point
in time he said, I don't care. I'm going to
ignore it. And no president has ever said it's constitutional,

(26:47):
because it's not. But it's never been challenged on a
constitutional basis. So you know, there we are. You know,
too many Democrats, you know, I think, have not studied
the law, studied the Constitution. They probably haven't read the
War Powers Act. They just mouth off as AOC did well.

Speaker 6 (27:11):
It's fascinating to watch, you know, the stupidity on display.
But this then goes to a bigger issue, which is
the midterm elections in twenty six Now. Usually in a midterm,
the party in power at the White House tends to
lose seats and significant amounts depending on what the year is.
There's only been a few exceptions over the last hundred years.

(27:33):
And my hope is is that the president is so
transformational in terms of what he does with peace and prosperity.
If you believe, as I do, peace and prosperity drive elections. Okay,
I think the President made the world a safer place
by taking out the Iranian nuclear sites. It doesn't mean
when not going to have problems. Every military effort has many,

(27:54):
many risks associated with it. It's certainly way more complicated
because Joe Biden allow all these foreign nationals into the country,
and they're coming from countries that have terrorist ties, including
Iran and over eight hundred that they knowingly let into
the country. I have no doubt there are terror cells
in the country. But as I always say, I pray

(28:16):
to God that I'm wrong, But to me, that's a
clear and present danger so, and then on the economy,
I think the ten trillion in manufacturing investments that will
be used over the next four years for automobiles, pharmaceuticals,
and semiconductor chips, plus the energy dominance program that the
President has adopted and the one big beautiful bill and

(28:38):
tax cuts always results in more revenue to the government,
more jobs for the American people, and securing our border
will certainly factor into people's decisions. I'm hoping he can
break that trend, because otherwise we're going to have five
hundred impeachment attempts by the Democrats of.

Speaker 11 (28:54):
My wrong I agree. I think you have nicely outlined it.
Americans are happy that the border is now secure. They
approve of deporting you know, criminals, murderers, thieves, child molesters, rapists,
and so forth. But I think this one decision by

(29:16):
Trump to take out Iran's nuclear facilities cements his legacy
as a strong, courageous leader in the annals of American presidents.
As I pointed out in my column, we may never
know how many thousands, if not millions, of lives have
been spared because he had the fortitude that other presidents lack.

(29:42):
I mean with Kamila Harris have done it. Not a chance.
And of course we know that for too long American
presidents took a playbook out of Neville Chamberlain and sought
to appease Iran. Obama Biden tried to bribe them with
billions of dollars, only to see our tax payer dollars
funneled into our enemies' nuclear activities and terrorist attacks against us.

(30:07):
You know, Obama and Biden, we're willing to trust the
iotola's lies. You have to be some kind of gullible
to do that. It's like trusting the scorpion when he
promises I'm not going to bite you. So you know,
I think this one act by President Trump will have
an influence on the midterm elections. But of course, you know,

(30:30):
in the House those are two year terms and invariably
they tend to turn on local issues, not national international issues.
So you know, I think it'll be close in the House.
We'll wait and see, all.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
Right, quick freak, welcome back more with Fox News Legal
Analysts Number one New York Times best selling author Greg Jarrett.
Then we'll get to your calls on the other side.
Eight hundred and nine to four one Shawn Is on
number As we continue.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Are you're ready to get out of the media spin room? Well,
you come to the right place.

Speaker 9 (31:07):
This is the Sean Hannity showing.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
You continued out.

Speaker 6 (31:27):
Greg Jared Is with US number one New York Times
bestselling author, Fox News Legal analyst. What do you make
of the Supreme Court and their decision yesterday on the
issue of immigration and a huge win for the president
allowing the Trump administration to restart their deportation flights of
the illegal aliens to nations other than their own, like
gul Salvador. That would be the case of Abrego, Garcia,

(31:50):
but any other country that they want.

Speaker 11 (31:52):
Well, it was six to three decision. I think obviously
it is the right decision based on the law and
you know, the powers of the executive branch, particularly the president,
when it comes to matters of immigration. You know, even
the Ninth Circuit had, you know, fairly liberal Appeals Court

(32:15):
had tried to remind judges in the lower courts that
the executive branch is in charge of this and you know,
but and I think it's an important warning shot over
the bow of these lower court judges. But I think
the real fireworks may come this Thursday, when the Supreme

(32:36):
Court may well decide to issue that long awaited opinion
on these out of control injunctions by federal district court
judges who are exceeding their authority, abusing their power. They're
trying to stop Trump's agenda from being implemented by issuing

(32:56):
these universal injunctions, and as I said, they have no
authority to do it. Supreme Court justices on both sides
of the isle have complained about the excessive, abusive power,
but they never did anything about it. Now, finally, because
of their own docket is overwhelmed, the Justices I think
are compelled to put their foot down and say stop it.

(33:20):
And I think they may well undertake common sense guidelines
and limits on these abusive district court judges.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Greg Jarrett, great job, as always. We appreciate you. Thank you, sir.

Speaker 11 (33:34):
Thanks all right.

Speaker 6 (33:35):
We'll watching Israel now in a battle of warfare. It's
very very survival. The amount of humanitarian assistance that is
needed is I can't even begin to describe it. A
nation is vowed to wipe Israel off the map. We
see that they've been taking heavy ballistic missile fire.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
As generous as.

Speaker 6 (33:55):
You can eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ online,
It's IFCJ, that's I f c J dot Org. Today
you are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.
Don't forget cats, The Sean Hannity Show weekdays right here
on this station, and stay tuned for more right after
the latest news.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Now back to the best of Sean Hannity.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Well we have come out, sing you a conference show
will be and if you want a little bang and.

Speaker 12 (34:43):
Y, I come along.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
A short time ago, the US military carried out massive
precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the
Iranian regime for Doe, Natans, and Sfahan, a random bully
of the Middle East must.

Speaker 12 (35:03):
Now make peace.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
If they do not, future attacks would be far greater
and a lot easier.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
A Fradom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Aware of coming to your site, the way out against
all and sane you a conscious silt.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
The new Sean Hennity Show.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
More me, I'm the scenes, information on freaking news and
more bold inspired solutions for America. Stay right here for
our final news roundup and information Overload.

Speaker 6 (35:40):
All I do just round up in Information Overload hour.
Here's our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program as eight hundred and
ninety four one Shawn, if you want to join us.
I don't think enough time has been spent praising the
brave men and women that had to carry out this
mission on Saturday night, and they did so with grace

(36:01):
and precision and professionalism. You know, when you look at
the laundry list of things that they were able to accomplish,
I mean, the amount of precision, courage, the deception at
levels that we've never seen before was frankly inspiring, and
we've got to be grateful to all of them. I

(36:22):
want to just just give you some a little bit
of insight. And we didn't play this the other day.
I wanted to describing the operation. It's called Operation Midnight Hammers,
you all know. And this is General Dan Kine and
talking about the intricacy and the absolute amazing, you know,

(36:44):
might of the United States Military, the great greatest fighting
force on the face of this earth.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Take a listen.

Speaker 13 (36:52):
At approximately six forty pm Eastern Standard time two ten
am Ran time, B two dropped two GBU fifty seven
massive ordnance penetrator weapons on the first of several aim
points at four doh As the President stated last night,

(37:12):
the remaining bombers then hit their targets as well, with
a total of fourteen mops dropped against two nuclear target areas.
All three Iranian nuclear infrastructure targets were struck between six
forty pm and seven zho five pm Eastern time. Again,
that's about two ten in the morning local time in Iran,

(37:35):
with the Tomahawk missiles being the last to strike at Esfahan.
To ensure we retain the element of surprise throughout the operation.
Following weapons release, the midnight hammer Strike package exited Iranian
airspace and the package began its return home. We are
unaware of any shots fired at the package on the

(38:00):
way out. Iran's fighters did not fly, and it appears
that Iran's surface to air missile systems did not see us.
Throughout the mission. We retained the element of surprise.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
I mean, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (38:18):
We are so blessed to have so many incredible people
that are willing to protect the cause of liberty and
freedom so that we can go about living our lives
and fulfilling our destinies in life. Anyway, Dave rutherfer Is
with US former Navy seal medic instructor, served eight years himself.
After his honorable discharge, he went to work for Blackwater

(38:41):
as an international curriculum development and training specialist for two years.
I got a chance to meet him recently, David, how
are you, sir.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
Welcome to the program and I'm doing great.

Speaker 12 (38:53):
Thank you so much for having me, sir.

Speaker 6 (38:55):
I mean, I am dazzled by the entire operation. One
of the things that really stood out to me was
the level of deception and how the Iranians they actually
created phantom B twos and the that weren't even in
the air, and that the Iranians were firing at them,

(39:16):
and meanwhile the real B twos that were dropping all
those fourteen bunker busters went completely and utterly undetected. I mean, wow,
that's pretty amazing.

Speaker 12 (39:28):
I think what we're seeing now, Sean is a whole
new level of our sophistication and technology that's emerging. And
what I know it does for me is, you know,
it sets in a whole nother level of confidence and
what our capabilities are and really what our reach has become.

Speaker 6 (39:46):
I've been saying for the longest time that we need
to build out the next generation of weaponry. Do you
agree with my statement that I don't think future wars
are going to be fought on a battlefield. That doesn't
mean you're not going to need assets on ground. The
Israelis proved, you know, they were able to have assets
on the ground that even smuggled drones and weaponry into Iran,

(40:09):
and they were able to you know, know the locations
of their top nuclear scientists and their top generals and
from the very beginning of their military operation take those
people out. I think that was an incredible intelligence and
a covert operation of a magnitude I don't think we've
seen before. But I think that the next generation of weaponry,

(40:32):
the future wars will be fought in air conditioned offices
and not on the battlefield. Although, yeah, you will need
assets on the ground, Yeah you will need some troops
on the ground, but you're not going to be fighting
wars on the ground.

Speaker 12 (40:44):
From your lips to God's ears, man, As a former operator,
and you know, I also did a stint with the CIA,
you know, there's always going to be need for that
human intelligence on the ground for those operators in conjunction
with the larger scale operations themselves. But again, you're right
when I think about what those B two bombers, what

(41:07):
the pilots did, is that flying for that amount of time,
plus you know they had all the other support fighters
that were in the air, you know, the tankers. You know,
it's just it really I hopefully work and get to that.
But we also have seen what's taking place in Ukraine
over the last four years, where you know, you have

(41:29):
trench warfare combined with your own warfare. So I think
it's really yet to be seen what it's going to
look like in the next ten to fifteen years. But
certainly right now, I think we're still entrenched in a
mixture of modern technology with old school operational capabilities.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Yeah, I think that's a great way to describe it.

Speaker 6 (41:51):
But well, you know, one of the things that I'm
worried about is, and I have a lot of sources,
a lot of our munitions were depleted Biden and he
never replenished them. Biden didn't take any steps at all
to modernizing our military when the Communist Chinese and the
Russians have hypersonic technology and that's only one system, but

(42:15):
we're also deficient and behind in other systems. That makes
me nervous. Granted, we have far superior nuclear capability than
all of these countries. I mean, look at the Tomahawks
fired four hundred miles away from a submarine. One submarine
hits thirty targets with incredible precision and accuracy. It's just

(42:38):
an amazing sight to see, and it makes me feel
safer as an American. However, we better get very, very
urgent in terms of preparing for the next generation of weaponry.

Speaker 12 (42:48):
Oh, I completely agree, and I think that's why we
saw in the new bill that's moving forward that defense
spending is not decreased but increase because I think across
the board, regardless of of what side of the aisle
you're on, it's it's pretty pretty recognizable that our are
in particular the Navy has suffered, you know, equipment technology.

(43:10):
I mean, I think we're catching up in drone technology
for sure, but you're right, supersonic missile systems, that type
of technology, you know, auto automated systems. In terms of
there's a develop a new defense contractor that's building basically
drone ships to be able to launch strikes in covert ways.

(43:34):
You know, there's just a lot we could be doing
so in kind of the rapidly evolving modern battlefield, which is,
you know what's taking place obviously between Iran and Israel,
what's taking place in Russia and Ukraine, and then what
many people are predicting what's on what's just over the horizon,

(43:56):
is a potential conflict with China and Taiwan. Yeah, we
definitely need to level up.

Speaker 11 (44:02):
So to speak.

Speaker 6 (44:04):
Yeah, definitely, What are the systems that you think we're
most efficient in. What would you be looking to build up.

Speaker 12 (44:11):
I mean, obviously drone capabilities from you know, small reconnaissance
type drones to drones that can drop per projectiles.

Speaker 14 (44:21):
To.

Speaker 12 (44:23):
Satellite capabilities. I think that's really the future of warfare,
like you had suggested. But I also think, you know,
cloaking technology is required for any type of people you
have on the ground. I mean some of the surveillance
capabilities with different types of clear capabilities or or infrared

(44:48):
or different types of hologram systems, it really makes it
tough for troops to move out in the open, as
we've seen from the countless videos coming out of Ukraine.
So I think there's a it's across the board. Weapon systems.
I'd love to see electromagnetic systems developed, or any type
of systems that can really impede drone warfare. That would

(45:14):
be awesome to see, you know, I think it's really
we're on the precipice of whoever has the most innovative
technology is going to lead on the battlefield for sure.

Speaker 6 (45:26):
Well, we appreciate your time and your expertise, and congratulations,
I know you're doing your own podcast. David Rutherferd, former
Navy seal metic Thank you, sir. We appreciate all your
insight eight hundred nine four one sewn. You know, they
made fun of Ronald Reagan when he talked about strategic defense.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
What have we been watching?

Speaker 6 (45:45):
And if you go back in the day and you can,
you watch the media mocking him and calling it star wars,
and they would show images almost exactly, almost identical to
what's happening in real life now. And I will tell
you right now, if the President is able to pull
off this vision of a golden dome to protect America,

(46:07):
it may one day long after where gone be the
system that saves potentially millions of American lives.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
That's thinking forward, all right. We got another big one.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
Get this, A whopping sixteen billion loging credentials have been
leaked and this is impacting Apple, Google, Facebook users. Now,
these logging credentials include passwords. They were originally stolen using
information stealing malware, malicious software that gathers all of the
data and it that it can find, and they store

(46:39):
it on a device and they compile it all together
and then they sell it on the dark web. That's
where these identity thieves come in. One nine hundred LifeLock
LifeLock dot com promo code Hanity forty percent off to
protect your name, your finances, your reputation. All right, quick break,
let me come back. We'll hit the phones. Eight hundred
and nine four one Seawan. As we continue, have you

(47:05):
are ready to get out of the media spin room.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
You've come to the right place.

Speaker 9 (47:12):
Is the Sean Hannity Show.

Speaker 6 (47:30):
Let's get to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine
to four one. Shawn is a number. Karen in California,
the United Socialist Utopia of Gavin Newsom.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
How are you glad you.

Speaker 15 (47:40):
Called mister Hannity. Hi, thank you for taking my call.
So nice to talk to you so and thank you
for everything you do. By the way, thank you really
appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (47:50):
Thank you. I appreciate you letting me do it. Thank you.

Speaker 15 (47:54):
Oh listen, so glad you're there. And So what I
was calling about was, you know, I'm I watch a
lot of news, especially since twenty sixteen, and you know,
after the October seventh you see a lot of videos
of the you know, atrocities and all the all the
terrible things that happened in gods and everything. Well my

(48:15):
point is I think that.

Speaker 4 (48:18):
Let me tell you something, if you saw what I've seen.

Speaker 6 (48:21):
Oh and they won't make it public, but they did
share it with me, it would shock your conscience. It
would shock images you will never get rid of for
the rest of your life.

Speaker 15 (48:34):
No doubt. I don't doubt that for a minute. I
really don't exactly. But my point is this, Sean, you
see so many people I've seen, you know, newspeople out
there talking to people on the street. Well what do
you think, Well, you know it is really they were
attacked in October seventh. And there's actually people that stand
there and say, no, no, that's not true. They don't
act they don't even believe that they were attacked. I mean,

(48:57):
it's just it's unbelievable that there's.

Speaker 6 (49:00):
I don't know what's that girl's name, Greta Thunberg. Remember
she was going to go to the flotilla and the
Israelis intercepted her and said, oh, we want to show
you the videos of what really happened on October the seventh,
because remember Hamas video taped it themselves. They were so
proud of themselves for their murder, raped, kidnapping, torture and beheadings.
And he would she just put her head in the

(49:21):
sand and wouldn't watch it.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
I've seen that video.

Speaker 6 (49:25):
It's never been made public because they don't want the
families of the victims to live through it again. But
they did show the press so the press could be
very aware of what happened that day.

Speaker 8 (49:35):
And it is shocking, right, it's got to be horrible.

Speaker 15 (49:38):
I mean you've see there's been some photos. You see
the blood on the walls and the drag blood, you know,
bodies they've taken out of the buildings. And the sad
part is I mean they but Hamas, they've shown all
these videos of these people and these buildings and blown
up and all these horrible things, the little kids and
dying and everything. So people have seen that and they've
so they're so sympathetic to it that, you know, but

(50:00):
they haven't seen what happened to the Israelis that day.
It's all about, you know. My point is it's got
to be horrible, But somehow I think people should be
able to see both sides. They should be able to
see what happened a little bit. And there's been pictures
of the music festival that was terrible. I know, there's
got to be horrific pictures that people just.

Speaker 6 (50:19):
Oh no, the I mean you have you have you
have parents being murdered and assassinated in front of their children,
of course, I mean you have you have rape And
by the way, do you ever see a video of
a real beheading?

Speaker 15 (50:35):
You know I did once before this war got.

Speaker 6 (50:38):
You know, you don't want to see it. It's not
something you want to see.

Speaker 16 (50:42):
It was horrible. I never forgot it.

Speaker 15 (50:44):
They had a woman in the streets and they were
hitting there with a with a certain sword, and you know,
it's terrible. So I know it's got to be horrible,
horrific things. But my point is, Sean, how are people
going to but why these people are in denial? People
are actually in denial that things happened to the Israel
That's that's the part that you know. I know, people
don't want to relive it, and it's a horrible thing

(51:05):
to show the public. But somehow, some way people need
to know that, you know, and see it for themselves.
I mean, they just let that Khalil out of prison,
right He's got all these Hamas supporters around him, and
people don't even think about the fact that, you know,
the Israelis we're attacked and why they're fighting. I mean,
it's just a sad thing that but they but they're

(51:26):
but their videos have come out of Hamas. They have
made sure all their stuff has come out, you know
what I'm saying. So that's that's basically what I was trying.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
And they're they're they're proud of it. That's it. It
is scary.

Speaker 6 (51:36):
It's really evil in our time, and that's a frustrating
part of it all. Anyway, I appreciate you called Karen,
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
You're right.

Speaker 6 (51:45):
Eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn is a number.
If you want to be a part of the program.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.
And stay tuned.

Speaker 6 (51:53):
More memorable moments, interesting guests, and a lot of fun
coming up next.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Driving liberals crazy.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Three hours a day, every day, The Sean Hannity Show
is back on the air.

Speaker 6 (52:31):
I'm twenty five till the top of the hour, eight
hundred and nine four one Sean our number.

Speaker 4 (52:35):
You want to be a part of the program.

Speaker 6 (52:37):
So there was a political earthquake in New York City
and it is probably the biggest, most devastating potential blow
to what was once by far and I said it
often the greatest city in the world. I don't think
it is the greatest city in the world anymore by

(52:58):
a long shot. I think it's been destroyed by burdensome regulation,
ridiculously oppressively high taxes, quality of life issues have gone
down the drain. We're almost in the pre Rudy Juliani
era of New York City. And with this election of

(53:20):
this radical Momdani yesterday, and this guy is he wants
government run grocery stores. Grocery stores don't have high profit margins,
maybe one two percent now. They make their money in volume,
but they're not making massive profits the way on items,
the way you might think that they do and of

(53:41):
course he wants free buses, he wants everything free, and
then he wants to take what is already one of
the highest tax cities in the country and drive it
up like twenty percent. But something magical has happened as
a result of all this. I was pretty certain that
that Andrew Cuomo. In early polls indicated Andrew Cuomo was

(54:05):
going to run away with his Democratic primary, and slowly
but surely the race started to shift and change. And
then in the final weeks leading up to last night's primary,
all of a sudden, Mom, Donnie is right there overtaking
Cuomo and then ended up blowing him out of the

(54:25):
water last night. Now what's interesting is Andrew Cuomo may
run as an independent. The current mayor Eric Adams. He's
running as an independent. He got another radical leftist running
as an independent.

Speaker 4 (54:39):
What does that mean? That means that.

Speaker 6 (54:41):
There is a possibility New York can get Rudy Giuliani
two point zero or make New York City great again,
And that would be Mayor Curtis Sliwa, who's the only
conservative with common sense in the race. Where we offer
a full throated endorsement of it, I've already done that
on this program and on other programs in New York.

(55:03):
When I'm a guest and we welcome Curtis leave of
the show, Curtis, how are you? By the way, rock
Ribbed all American Conservative, I'm Franklin Squire, Long Island.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
Check it in, my friend.

Speaker 8 (55:14):
Yes, And remember when you decided to leave, and I
know it hurts you to leave and to make part
to your primary residence. I always try to encourage you,
Sean reconsider we need you back here too. And I'm you.

Speaker 6 (55:29):
You and Mark Simone are New York born bred, and
you'll be New York dead. You are the hardest core
New Yorkers.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
I know.

Speaker 8 (55:37):
Yeah, but you see, my whole focus is improved. Don't move.
We have a situation now with Mandami that is Chicago
two point zero. It's the socialist Maya Johnson all over again,
and we've seen what a failure that is. As I
prepared to do your show, I came out of the
subway because you know, I live in the subways, so

(55:58):
I deal with the working class people. I had to
go over homeless people, emotionally disturbed. I'm looking across the street.
We're here on fiftieth and third the Upper east Side.
There are five storefronts that are closed, no lease, no sale,
no rental. The city is in a free fall and

(56:19):
my job is to try to get us back on
track with a quality of life. With Mandami, it will
continue the slide into the abyss. I want to make
sure that there are no more Sean Hannitys who feel
that they have to leave. That we can stem the
flow and like you said with Rudy Giuliani, turn things
around and personally, Sean, you may have remembered it was

(56:40):
October of a year ago. My oldest son was the
victim of a vicious gang assault on the Upper east Side.
Vicious almost killed him. Thank god, his stepfather, Democrat Governor
David Patterson, jumped in and saved his life. And they
call it a random attack. There are no random attacks.
You know me. I'm law and order. I'm the quality

(57:02):
of life. We've got to take back the streets of
our city. We got to start locking up criminal Seawan
instead of locking up tooth base in Dwayne Reeds and CBS.

Speaker 6 (57:13):
Well said, there's a Wall Street Journal article out today
and I can tell you living in South Florida, Curtis
and I love you, and every time I went everyone
on the subway, I would always run into you, no
matter what time of day or night it happened to be.
And I know your passion, your heart, your soul is
for New York City. I admire it. It's unfortunate, but

(57:36):
in South Florida, every Wall Street firm is already down here.
They've already half moved out of New York. And I'm
talking about every major firm on Wall Street, every private
equity company, every major bank. They're now setting up based
in Florida. Governor Desanta said, this is going to be
the best thing that ever happened to Florida if Mom

(57:59):
Donnie is elected. I know you don't want that to happen,
but I want you, as my friend, to be successful.
And I think you could stop the bleeding, and you
could rescue New York and return it to at least
much of its former greatness. And it did have greatness
at one point. But Today's Wall Street Journal points out
that this win, you know, literally, it's quoting one Wall

(58:21):
Street executive after another saying they are going to leave,
and they are going to move to states like Florida
and Texas immediately, and they quote a number of them,
hedge fund managers, private equity firms, banks, They're going to
bail out on them New York and it will be
a disaster.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
I mean, you don't talk about this guy. What does
he What are his stated plans? That's scary.

Speaker 8 (58:45):
No police, no prisons, and instead of police protecting the people,
he wants social workers. So for example, Sean, he's been
under a threat of late I understand that. You remember,
we're on the anniversary of me being shot by times
with hallow point bullets on the orders of the Gotti
family to the Gambinos, and luckily I survive. I know

(59:05):
what it is to be threatened. But he is being
protected now by off duty NYPD officers with guns. Why
doesn't he have social workers? This is what he wants
for everyone else, but not for himself. So we have
to get back on track, and I will go to
all these fortune five hundred CEO coocfos. I will tell them,

(59:27):
you know me, Curtis forty six years in the streets
in the subways. We can get this city back on track.
I understand you may want to bifurcate your business and
not have your entire business here in New York City.
But give me a chance. And that's why your listeners
they know me. They know what I've done. You've exposed
everything that I've done in this city to help this
city to everyone in America. And if they would get

(59:49):
online to Sliwak for NYC dot com at sliwa for
NYC dot com, they would see my plan not only
to get this city back on track, but to make
it say and secure because there are the blue collar
working class who are now the mainstream of the Republican Party.
That's what Donald Trump, the President, has started. We are
the party of the blue collar working class. And you know,

(01:00:11):
like yourself, Sean, I'm the son of the blue collar
working class. I haven't forgotten my roots. I'm in the
outer boroughs. That's where the people pay the taxes. That's
where they get hit with the fees and fines. That's
where they're being driven out. And if the mortgage rates
weren't at six and three quarter percent and down to
three percent, they would be joining you and fleeing it fright.

(01:00:31):
And I'm going to stop that. I'm telling you, Seawan.
You know me, when I make a commitment, I deliver.

Speaker 6 (01:00:37):
I know that for a fact, and I know that
you will deliver, and I know you will eat, breathe, sleep,
making New York a safe place again and more secure
for people that deserve it, There's no doubt about it.
Let's talk about You talked about working men and women,
and Donald Trump, for example, is now pushing the Big

(01:00:58):
beautiful bill, the largest tax cut in history. It also
eliminates tax on tips and tax on overtime. What are
you going to do to help the working men and
women in New York that can barely afford to live?
And what are you going to do to entice these
bigger firms that hire people with career jobs, high paying
career jobs to stay in New York City.

Speaker 8 (01:01:18):
Well, first off, the veins and uteries, as you know, Sean,
because you took the subways even though you were an
entertainment figure doing very well. It's the veins and houteries
of the city. It's how the working class people travel.
If we can make it safe and secure, many of
these people will return to these empty office buildings that
have been shutting. Now. They won't all return because business

(01:01:41):
has changed the way it was done when you and
I were growing up. But you have to start with
the basics. The streets have to be safe, the subways
have to be safe. The majority of the working class
people are now women, some of them single women, raising families,
working two jobs just to make ends meet. I'm going
to have them in my sights to improve their quality

(01:02:03):
of life, and you'll see they will notice the difference.
They will stay, and their employers will say, Okay, let's
let's give it a try. Let's give Sleewa a try,
just like we gave Rudy julian A, Rudy Giuliani a try. Remember, Sean,
it was much worse under David Dinkins. Two thousand murdercy year,
ten thousand unsolved shootings. Rudy came along and made a difference.

(01:02:25):
And I'm consider me Rudy Giuliani Junior. I can make
that same difference. You know it. You've seen me out there,
and this is what the city desperately needs. Law and
order and quality of life and affordable housing and obviously
lowering the expenses of living. That's something I know how
to do, and if given the opportunity, I will return

(01:02:46):
that favor to the people of New York City who
have trusted me. In The Guardian angels for forty six years.

Speaker 6 (01:02:53):
I can tell people from personal experience. There's two people
that I've walked the streets in New York with that
you constantly get the name. You know, people will scream
it out. Trump is one and the other's hurt Us,
you know, and people love Curtis Leever, and then you're
known everywhere you go. What about how do you incentivize

(01:03:14):
these businesses to stay. You've got to get rid of
some of those regulation It is so ridiculously burdensome.

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
It costs them so much money.

Speaker 6 (01:03:24):
And lower taxes, I mean that will take away the
incentive of these companies to leave, but also lower taxes
for the working men and women. Do you believe you
can accomplish that?

Speaker 8 (01:03:34):
Yes? I can. And most importantly, remember I'm a Republican
who go into neighborhoods where the only Republican they've ever
seen Sean is Abraham Lincoln on a five dollar bill.
You start with those small businesses so that they don't vacate,
and then you have abandonment. Then you start on the
mid size level businesses that are getting hammered and they

(01:03:55):
have one foot out the door. And then you go
to the fortune five hundred businesses who can wait a
little bit of time because they have the equity, and say,
look what I've done for this whole business. Guys in gouts,
Look what I've done for the mid level sized businesses.
Hold your move. Give me an opportunity to give you
that same ability to do based business without the regulations,

(01:04:18):
the fees, the fines, and the perpetual bureaucracy that strangles
any kind of development. You go down the way you
are Florida. In Florida, you can develop overnight. South Carolina,
North Caroline, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia. And that's why so many
people are fleeing. I understand why they leave. I want
to keep them here, including business, and I'll be able

(01:04:39):
to do it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:41):
You know, I really do want you to succeed, and
there is a path for you to win. And I
know it's like nine to one Democrat registered Democrat to Republican,
but I got to imagine a lot of Democrats are
sick and tired of what's happened to New York City.
I've got imagine that they do know you, they do

(01:05:02):
have faith in you, and I've got you know, Donald Trump,
remember you said, what have you got to lose. It
can't really get worse, although with Mom Donnie, it's gonna
get worse.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
That's the scary part. He's going to institutionalize stupid.

Speaker 8 (01:05:18):
You have to fight fire with fire in the streets.
He's motivated the millennials. Remember Sean, we're the baby boomers.
We are no longer the majority of the population. And
you know me, I've been able to attract young people,
especially in inner city neighborhoods. That's the route. Trump was

(01:05:39):
very successful in getting male millennials over in devoting for
him for the presidency. And many people think that was
the margin of his incredible victory in which he swept
through the seven battleground states and won the popular vote.
He got the male millennials. Nobody thought it was possible.
And I think you understand I have that same kind
of machismo because when Trump went to Katona Park in

(01:06:03):
the heart of the South Bronx and attracted thirty thousand
people supporting MAGA. You know who was in Katona Park
back in nineteen sixty nine, and every year after being
received in the same manner by a cross section of minorities,
Curtis Sliwa and you know that for a fact. Jaw.
That's why people need to go to Sliwa for NYC

(01:06:23):
dot com and see for yourself how we can turn
this around the way Rudy Giuliani did when he was elected,
and people said, it's hopeless, it's despair, it can't be done. Yes,
it can be done. It has been done. We had
George Battaki for twelve years as a governor, no corruption,
no chaos. We had Rudy Giuliani eight years, no corruption,

(01:06:43):
no chaos. It can be done because it has been done.

Speaker 6 (01:06:48):
You know what, Curtis, I'm championing you and I have
too many friends and you're the guy for the job.
I fully wholeheartedly support you. New York City would be
so much better off. We'll have you out many times
between now and election day. Thank you, my friend.

News roundup and Information Overload Hour.

Speaker 6 (01:09:59):
All Right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour. Toll free
on numbers eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if
you want to be a part of the program. I
have been reassured by key members of Republicans in the
Senate that this issue of the Senate Parliamentarian is going
to be dealt with. What I am referring to now,
for the Republicans to get this one big, beautiful bill passed,

(01:10:23):
they have this arcane legal process that they have to
go through, and it's called reconciliation. This is how Biden
passed the Inflation Reduction Act. This is how Obamacare was
passed by Barack Obama. By the way, the Senate Parliamentarian
at the time objected to many aspects of that bill.

(01:10:46):
But that's another issue for another day. Now, the Senate
parliamentarian is not elected, and for the reconciliation process, why
it is needed. It is allowed to be used for
issues involving economic issues.

Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
Bills that is passed by Congress.

Speaker 6 (01:11:06):
You don't need the sixty vote threshold that would needed,
you know, as for cloture. In other words, to move
forward with the bill, you'd need a simple majority of
fifty one.

Speaker 4 (01:11:17):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:11:17):
That then gives the Republicans an opportunity to implement President
Trump's economic agenda. Now, the Senate parliamentarian is not elected,
and she's not accountable to the American people, and yet
she holds veto power over the legislation supported by millions
of voters. And by the way, there was a point

(01:11:40):
where Trent Lott, I think, was the one that fired
a Senate parliamentarian. Their role is to make a political
judgments about Senate rules and procedures. Now the Democrats want
to make this as difficult as possible. Senator Tommy Tubvervelle
Alabama's call for the proletarian to be center parliamentarian to

(01:12:03):
be fired. But if you look at you know, key
portions of presidents from agenda, the parliamentarian is claiming using
the reconciliation process in the Senate that it doesn't fall
into reconciliation. Okay, Actually, on every issue that the person's
ruling on, they just happen to be wrong. And this

(01:12:26):
has to be dealt with first in the Senate and
then from there it will be dealt with, you know,
in conference, because there are some differences between the House
version and the Senate version of this bill. I'm not trying,
I'm not trying to make this complicated, but it does
need to be dealt with.

Speaker 8 (01:12:43):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:12:43):
The White House says, Congress is debating big footnotes and
the big beautiful bill, and anyway, the person that's kind
of spearheadiness is the White House Director of the National
Economic Council, Kevin Hassett. He seems unfazed the difference is
between the House and Senate versions and that in conference

(01:13:04):
they'd come to an agreement. But I want to first
get your reaction, Kevin, to what the Senate parliamentarian is saying,
because he's trying to gut very key provisions of the
Trump Agenda.

Speaker 16 (01:13:18):
Yeah, V, thanks for having me on Sean. It's great
to speak with you again. The bottom line is that
You're one hundred percent correct. The Senate parliamentarian is playing
dishonest partisan games, ruling stuff has to be out of
the bill that should be in the bill. And the
thing though I want to emphasize is that it's still

(01:13:40):
going to be a big, beautiful bill. The President's main
priorities are not being tossed out, and there's changes in
language that can happen right up to the last minute,
where in the end the parliamentarian cakes. This is sort
of part of the unfortunate Senate process that the senators
that the rules and they've agreed to do it this

(01:14:01):
way for all of the eternity, and they're playing by
their rules, and there are times when it's really frustrating,
But the bottom line is don't lose sight of the prize.
So the prize is this is going to be a big,
beautiful bill that's going to put ten thousand dollars into
the pockets of the typical American family. It's going to
cause economic growth to go way north of three probably

(01:14:23):
north of four percent, and it's going to reduce the
deficit enormously because of the big spending cuts. And so
you know, I a hundred percent understand the frustration that
a lot of people have with the things that have
been changed, things that we really wanted to build, that
the parliamentarian is ruling against. But I don't want the
headline to be the bill is less, you know, isn't beautiful,

(01:14:45):
because it is going to be beautiful.

Speaker 6 (01:14:47):
Can the Vice President who is the president of the
Senate overrule the parliamentarian because the president called on what
actually was Congressman Gregg Stuby that called on Vice President
Vance to overrule the parliamentarian?

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
Is that allowed?

Speaker 16 (01:15:03):
It is it's unprecedented, but allowed and are almost unprecedented.
And the bottom line though, is that the hope would
be that they'll find ways to change language around the
edges so that the parliamentarian stands down and we get
everything we want in the bill.

Speaker 4 (01:15:22):
But by the way, that this did happen during Obamacare, correct.

Speaker 16 (01:15:26):
The parliamentarian was overruled. That's an apple.

Speaker 6 (01:15:31):
Yeah, that the parliamentarian originally would was against provisions and
then they change the language and then it's quote acceptable.

Speaker 16 (01:15:39):
Yes, that happens in every reconciliation bill. Is the parliamentarian.
It's kind of like you know, every now and then there,
you know, the umpire is corrupt in a baseball game.
But most of the time the empire is just trying
to follow the rules. And so they said, it has
these rules that allow you to pass it in fifty
one votes, and the rules are pretty clear cut, but
every now and then, you know there's some interpretation involved,

(01:16:02):
and so they call it, giving it a bird bath
after Senator Bird was the one who helps the Crafty's rule.

Speaker 4 (01:16:08):
It's based on the bird rules. If you want to
describe it, you can.

Speaker 6 (01:16:11):
But by the way, it's true that in two thousand
and one then Majority Leader Trent Lotte fired the Senate
Parliamentary enduring reconciliation.

Speaker 16 (01:16:20):
Sure, sure, and I would not expect that this person
is likely to keep their job. And if it gets
really out of hands, and of course then the vice
president can step in. And if this person knows that,
then that hopefully will help them think about their decisions.
But again, the bottom line the.

Speaker 6 (01:16:37):
Head how much of this is in the hands of
John Thune, because he's made clear he didn't intend to
overrule the parliamentarian.

Speaker 16 (01:16:45):
He's as here's the thing. The Senate has lots of senators,
and there are senators that agree with your position on
the parliamentarian and more moderate senators that perhaps they can
know he got to do what the umpire says. And
so I'm sure the Senator Thune is frustrated with the probabtaria,

(01:17:08):
but it could well be that if he just disregards
the proletariat altogether, that there there would be senators that
would say, okay, then I'm not voting for the bill.
And so he's managing a difficult thing. But let me
tell you this, it's one hundred percent this bill is
going to pass. It's one hundred percent. This is going
to pass by the weekend. It's going to have all
the things that the President has insisted on, they're going

(01:17:30):
to be in the bill, the main headline things. When
we Secretary Best and I went up to meet with
the leaders of Congress, so maybe the twenty first of January,
we had a card of the president's top priorities that
he ran on and you know, the no tax on tips,
no tax on overtime, no tax on social Security, all
those things, permanent tax cuts. We had a card, a

(01:17:52):
pocket card that we gave to everybody said this is
what the President watson the bill and the President's bill,
his figerpits are all over this bill at its And
the other thing I can tell you is that I
was the dinner speaker for House members this week, and
I would say that the white our expectation is that
the Senate bill will be close enough to the House

(01:18:15):
bill that the House members will consider and perhaps be
willing to just pass the Senate bill right away and
go home over the weekend.

Speaker 6 (01:18:24):
So the Senate parblamentarian, as part of the rulings, actually
ruled that illegal immigrants are eligible for federal student loans.
That tells me that this is a radical, extreme leftist
and the person has been in this job since what
twenty twelve?

Speaker 4 (01:18:44):
That is insane by that.

Speaker 16 (01:18:46):
You are one hundred percent right to be outraged by that.
And the fact is that remember that if you say
that you can't give federal money to say an illegal
then the the main reconciliation rule is it has to
have an effect on the budget. So you can't you
can't go in and say bam cigarettes because you don't

(01:19:08):
like them in reconciliation, because that doesn't have an effect
on the budget or a direct effect on the budget.
But if you stop spending on something that has a
direct effect on the budget, and so of course Congress
controls the first strinks. Of course, Congress should have the
right to stop spending on something, and so it's just
a preposterous, preposterous ruling.

Speaker 6 (01:19:27):
All right, let's talk about some of the other changes
to Medicaid and so on and so forth. I mean,
there are some very significant, you know, provision changes. For example,
the Medicare Medicaid provider rate, which is the amount that
state Medicaid programs paid providers on behalf of Medicaid beneficiaries,

(01:19:50):
which proved to be a devisive policy. But you know,
if you look at Medicaid Medicare, one in one case
you're paying three times more for the same exact service
than the other. And the work requirement for able bodied
people that are getting a government benefits just something Bill

(01:20:10):
Clinton supported in case anyone's interested.

Speaker 16 (01:20:13):
Yeah, Medicaid waste broad and abuse is rampant, and there's
a lot of savings that are going to be had
in this bill because of ending waste broad and abuse.
And there are also they're putting money aside to make
sure that rural hospitals are not affected by these reforms.

(01:20:34):
And so I think that you know, people are going
to some people budget hawks, conservatives are going to be
thrilled with the progress, but they're going to want more
in the end as well.

Speaker 4 (01:20:46):
Got to take a quick break. We'll come back more.

Speaker 6 (01:20:48):
Kevin Hassett, head of the Head Economic Council to President Trump.
On the other side, as we watched as one big
beautiful bill, you know, and a clearly partisan senor parliamentarian
trying to muddy up the waters for Republicans, there will
be a solution that much. I can tell you more
on the other side than we'll get to. Your calls

(01:21:08):
coming up.

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
Are you sick of winning yet?

Speaker 12 (01:21:16):
Me?

Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
Either?

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
World leaders, union, businesses, social media.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
They all want to work with Trump. He said what
he was going to do, and then he did it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
The White House is open for business and America is
badbad energies.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
On right now.

Speaker 4 (01:21:50):
We continue now.

Speaker 6 (01:21:51):
Kevin Hassett is with US Head Economic Council to President
Trump as we are getting an update on the one
big beautiful bill.

Speaker 4 (01:21:59):
We're really doing what we're dealing with. Two problems here.

Speaker 6 (01:22:02):
One is the Senate parliamentarian and the second is is
the House and Senate versions and coming to agreement on
one final agreed upon provision. Okay, so how do you
deal first with the Senate Parliamentarian? How difficult the process
is that going to be? I know, Lindsey Graham, the
Senate Budget Committee chair, is all over this today. Are

(01:22:27):
you saying that you believe that they'll he'll sit down
with the Senate Parliamentarian and go line by line and
get and just like put a comma and a period
and and get the exact verbiage that the Senate Parliamentarian
wants and it will still be the same outcome.

Speaker 16 (01:22:44):
It's in the in the end, it's it's a very
difficult process to project right now, given the terrible rulings
that happened over the last few days. But in you know,
traditionally what happens is that the rulings can change right
up to the last minute when you agree to changing

(01:23:05):
the language, and it's all kind of like a KOBOOKI
theater because at the edge you get pretty much what
you wanted, but you had to say it a different way.
And that's historically the way this process has gone. It's
not clear to me that all of the changes will
be satisfactory to everybody. And then at that point the
senators are going to have to decide what are we

(01:23:26):
going to do about this?

Speaker 6 (01:23:28):
Well, what do you recommend? Considering you're kind of trying
to you're a leading point on spearheading this.

Speaker 16 (01:23:34):
Yeah, well I'm not in the sense of the Senate
has to pass a bill, and it's a difficult process.
The senators have to.

Speaker 6 (01:23:42):
Decide how are they well for the White House, I mean,
you've got to navigate a lot of this and work
with the House and the Senate. You know, I guess
the House passed that bill, the center past. That bill
goes to conference. Now the Senate, you know, as they've
muddied the water is by trying to take out very
key critical agenda items of the President and by an

(01:24:05):
unelected you know, bureaucrat that has been there since twenty twelve,
the thinks that we should be paying college tuition for
illegal immigrants, which in and of itself as should be illegal.

Speaker 4 (01:24:14):
If it's not, I think it is illegal.

Speaker 16 (01:24:18):
Right. Well, the Senate, you know, we'll see what the
final Senate bill looks like. But the hope is that
the Senators are able to navigate the bill to something
so close to the House bill that the House members
can just pass the Senate bill as is right away,
and if then it is unable to do.

Speaker 6 (01:24:39):
But do you know there have been some some House
Republicans that have been, you know, pretty vocal that they
don't like some of the changes made by the Senate.

Speaker 16 (01:24:49):
Of course, and so and so what the Senate has
to do is get it as close to the House
bill as they can, given that they've got, you know,
different people in the Senate than there are in the House,
so they all have their opinions. But it's my expectation
that in the end, and I've spoken with leadership in
the House set of the Senate. I gave the dinner

(01:25:09):
talk to a whole bunch of House members just this week,
and my expectation is that in the end, the House
will be comfortable enough with what they get from the
Senate that that's the objective of the Senate, that we
won't have to go into a conference. If they're not,
then we can go into a conference. It could happen.
But if that happens, then the bill won't be ready
by the fourth.

Speaker 6 (01:25:30):
So this is why we call it the swamp, isn't it,
Because this is all swamp bureaucracy, And you know, have
one unelected bureaucrat hold up a duly elected president and
his agenda and a party and their agenda is pretty
spectacular to me, and I think the Republicans ought to

(01:25:52):
bypass it any way they can and let the American
people decide in the next election if they support the changes.
There's your answer anyway, Kevin Hassett. We appreciate you being
with us, sir.

Speaker 16 (01:26:04):
Thanks Sean Yepe eight.

Speaker 6 (01:26:06):
Hundred nine four one, Shawn, if you want to be
a part of the program when we come back more
of the best of the Sean Hannity Show, stay tuned.

(01:26:32):
You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Exposing government waste and abuse of your liberties every day.
Sean Hannity is on right now.

Speaker 4 (01:26:45):
Scott Brown.

Speaker 6 (01:26:46):
Remember Scott Brown was supposed to be the defining vote
against Obamacare and the Shenanigans the Democrats pulled well. Scott
Brown is from New Hampshire and he made an announcement
today that he's running for the Senate as a Republican
from the live, free or die state of New Hampshire.

Speaker 4 (01:27:07):
Here's what he said.

Speaker 2 (01:27:08):
Hello, I'm Scott Brown.

Speaker 18 (01:27:10):
My life began here in New Hampshire at the Portsarth
Naval Shipyards.

Speaker 14 (01:27:14):
Since then, I've had a lot of different titles, a soldier, senator, coach, husband,
dad and the Republican that won the so called Kennedy
c and President Trump's ambassadors to New Zealand and Samola.

Speaker 19 (01:27:27):
My life has been the American story.

Speaker 20 (01:27:30):
But I worry about what American is going to look
like in the future for my four grandchildren and all
of yours, and like a lot of you, I'm worried
about where this country is headed.

Speaker 19 (01:27:41):
New Hampshire is an amazing place to live, work and
raise a family. We've been blessed by two great governors,
Chris Sanunu and Kelly Aid. But in Washington we haven't
been represented by the right people.

Speaker 4 (01:27:53):
For four years.

Speaker 18 (01:27:54):
Chris Pappas has stood with Joe Biden as he opened
the border, drove up the cost of everything, made life
just simply unaffordable, the extreme left to one of the police,
defunded Hamas to win and men and women's sports.

Speaker 8 (01:28:08):
President Trump is fighting every day to write the ship.

Speaker 18 (01:28:11):
He sealed the border, he stood up to China, and
he restored our standing in the world. If we send
Chris Pappis to the Senate, we'll get more of the
same out of.

Speaker 19 (01:28:20):
Touch policies he's pushed forward during the terms that he's.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
Been there, dragging us right back to the Biden years.

Speaker 4 (01:28:27):
It's time to move on, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:28:29):
Joining us now is Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown is
back with us. I don't know do I say congratulations
or condolences. I'm not sure we'll have one. I'm not
sure how to approach that. To anybody that runs your office,
I assume congratulations because you want to do it well.

Speaker 21 (01:28:45):
First of all, we live in the greatest country in
the world, and it's an honor to try to serve.
And it's been an honor to serve as a US Senator,
as President Trump's ambassadors to New Zealand, Cook new A Somo,
and our interest in in Darctica, you know, pushing back
against China every day for almost the four years I served.
So yeah, it's an honor. But obviously it's a battle.
You know, the Democrats will do their usual stuff and

(01:29:07):
you know, the party of No, No, No, and complain, complain,
and so yeah, it's exciting, and I really appreciate the
opportunity to come on and tell people what's going on.

Speaker 6 (01:29:17):
Let's start, obviously with this conflict. If you would have
told me in twelve days that Israel would decimate the Iranians,
knock out their air defense system, take out their top generals,
take out their top nuclear scientists, bomb the living daylights
out of two of their nuclear facilities, and take out

(01:29:38):
other critical munitions and launchers and and everything in between,
and be successful. And then that would be followed up
by President Donald Trump wiping out their three nuclear facilities
and wiping out the nuclear ambitions. And then you know,
within twelve days it ends, and we're now at a ceasefire.

(01:30:00):
I know it's a bit precarious. Nobody knows if it holds,
but that's where we are at this moment. Well, I
wouldn't have believed it.

Speaker 21 (01:30:08):
Yeah, no, Listen, they're going to write in the military textbooks.
This is going to be studied for generations and in
terms of what he did. Listen, Presidents have tried and
wanted to do this for since our embassy bombing and
the taking of hostages. Iran is a bad actor. They
were a bullying the region.

Speaker 8 (01:30:26):
We all know that.

Speaker 21 (01:30:27):
And as a result of a lot of the countries
within that sphere, didn't had to build up the military
and spend more time worrying about Iran, and then let's
talk about hamas has got on in the hoodies. You know, Yeah,
Israel did a great job. The president was bold, he
was courageous. And the fact that the Democrats want to
now impeach him, and the Democrats have not said hardly

(01:30:47):
one thing about the men and women who have carried
off this brilliant mission. It's it's disappointing and it's but
it's not surprising because Sean, just remember Barack Obama went
after bin Laden. I graduated and I says, sir, you
get big balls, congratulations, and you know, everyone rallied around him.
And he also drawed twenty six thousand bombs on different countries.

(01:31:10):
But he used that same authority along with Kennedy, Baya
Pigs and a whole host of other people. Now the
president does it our president, and they want to impeach him.
It's it's upside down and it's wrong. And that's another
reason why I'm running to be there to obviously, you know,
protect the president and make sure that he can continue
to do his job.

Speaker 6 (01:31:26):
Is one state that I really can't figure out politically,
and it's your state, and you know, it elects Republicans,
it elects Democrats, and you never seem to know which
way it's going to go. I mean, we've had great
people like Governor Sanunu for example, Kelly Aot for example,
and then they elect Democrats as well, and I'm just

(01:31:47):
can you explain it to me? I guess it's probably
the most independent state of all the states in the Union.

Speaker 4 (01:31:54):
Am I wrong on that?

Speaker 14 (01:31:56):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:31:56):
I think you're right. Listen, Live for your dying. We've
had Chris Nunho's got and Kelly aotis a Senator and
governor and she's doing a great job. And you know,
we're blessed in that regard. But the federal delegation over
the last decade has been basically trouncing on our New
Hampshire advantage, you know, putting in more regulations, more taxes,
the open border, the sanctuary city, the boys and men

(01:32:18):
and women's and girls' sports, you know, fighting to protect
the illegals, giving them rights, giving away all of our
money and with it on different types of social programs.
So they're upside down in that regard. And as a
result of that, you know, they come back from Washington
and come and try to be a moderate. Oh, I'm
the most bipartist in this I did this and yeah,

(01:32:39):
you can cherry pick a couple of votes, but in
this instance, Chris Bappus is like AOC. And you know
who is like your new potential mayor in New York City.
You know, they're just just the new state of the
modern Democratic Party. You know, they are socialists on the
verge of communists, and you know they are not that
JFK's party. Well that's for down Shore.

Speaker 6 (01:33:02):
Yeah, they really aren't. I mean, it was pretty miraculous
that you were able to win in New Hampshire. I'm
sorry in Massachusetts when you did.

Speaker 4 (01:33:11):
But you're really a guy from New Hampshire.

Speaker 21 (01:33:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm born at the Portsmouth Natal Shipyard.
First couple of days after my birth, I went on
Misslington Street, and then when my parents got divorced, I
went to my grandparents and you know, obviously they helped
my mom in Wakefield. But yeah, I have great memories
in Wakefield. Was honored to serve there. And the difference
obviously between the people I'm running against, you know, the listen,

(01:33:33):
I've I've been a soldier of father, grandfather, Senator, ambassador,
and you know I don't need another title. You know,
Chris Pappas is looking for one, but you know I
want a stronger America. And as a result of what
we're seeing now obviously in the Middle East, what we're
seeing with China, you need somebody, We need somebody. Remember
when you're at US, Senator, you're not just representing your state.

(01:33:54):
You're trying to make sure that the United States as
a whole is safe and secure. You're making sure that
we can have the tools and resources, whether they'm military
to you know, to defend ourselves. And that's what it's
that's that's what's at stake here.

Speaker 6 (01:34:09):
Let me ask you. You know you were talking about
the Democratic Party. This is what this party is now
evolved into. They had an impeachment vote yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:34:17):
For example.

Speaker 6 (01:34:18):
In the House, I have not seen Senator Schumer or many,
if any Democratic senators with the exception of John Fetterman,
that has applauded the president's successful mission knocking out Iranian
nuclear facilities. And it's it's not surprising. I mean, if
Donald Trump cured cancer, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't care.

(01:34:39):
But this Party has evolved into a party of radicalism.
It's not the old Democratic Party of Bill Clinton. It's
not the Party of the like. For example, we have
this one big, beautiful bill that if you don't pass it,
and Republicans don't pass it, will be the largest tax
increase in history or the largest tax cut in history.
I don't think you're going to get one Democrat to

(01:34:59):
vote for that bill. It also eliminates tax on tips
and overtime. It also expands energy production to make America,
help make America most the most energy dominant country on Earth.
It also gives money to secure our borders. It also
gives money to create the next generation of weaponry, and
as we learned on Saturday night, we need that to

(01:35:23):
stay ahead of our adversaries on that front. Did a
Party of I argue of coastal elites, you know, woke
elites that champion the rights of men to play women's sports,
that put the rights of illegals over the safety of
our own citizens, even even illegals that are gang members.

Speaker 4 (01:35:42):
I mean, look at look at the rhetoric out of
Los Angeles.

Speaker 6 (01:35:45):
They've only been arresting murderers, kyle molesters, gangsters, drug dealers
and the and the most violent criminals, and you would think,
you know, it's the most horrible thing on earth. The
Party of Abrego Garcia. You know, this is the party
you know that wouldn't stand for moms at a joint
session speech of President Trump that lost their children because
of their open borders policies. Now that that is the

(01:36:08):
Democratic Party today. And you know you talked about New
Hampshire kind of they stay republican local, but they've they've
sent pretty radical, consistent you know, Schumer AOC.

Speaker 4 (01:36:22):
Democrats to the US Senate. It doesn't make sense to me.

Speaker 21 (01:36:25):
Yeah, Sean, first of all, you're eloquently describing exactly what's
happening in our country. They're not boy or Girl Scout leaders,
you know, they're they're radical gang bangers. Quite frankly, a
lot of the people that they're trying to get out
of here very dangerous. And you've noted that for for
months and months and months. Yeah, listen, bottom line is

(01:36:46):
what you have to do is you're going to go
earn the people's votes. You got to point out the
differences between our records and everything you talked about. Is
what Chris Pappus, You know cares about and you know,
if folks want to get involved, you can go to
Scott round dot com and let's send a message. You know,
we announced today we're ready to rock and roll. And
you know the things that the president is working for,
and you pointed out many times as well, they can't

(01:37:08):
find one thing, not one thing.

Speaker 16 (01:37:10):
Not one dollar.

Speaker 21 (01:37:11):
Want one program where we can save you know, some
type of money, whether it's one hundred bucks or a
thousand bucks. It's the party of no, just leave it alone. Well,
if you leave it alone, it's going to fall apart,
whether it's whether it's any of us social programs, any
of the programs that people actually need. If we don't
kick the illegals that are getting Medicaid benefits for example, out,
you know, they're going to drain the system. And if

(01:37:32):
we don't do some other things and give people a
small work requirement to twenty hours, sean you do that
in a day, you're like twenty hours a day. You
tell me you can't work twenty hours a week and
volunteer and be an activist. Go mow the lawn, volunteer
at a baseball you know, youth baseball or basketball.

Speaker 6 (01:37:48):
Come on, well, they're demagoguing it, and they're lying like
they always do with their little talking point that Republicans
are going to cut Medicare, Medicare and Social Security, none
of which is true. They're just eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse,
and for able bodied people, they are insisting that, hey,
you do something, even if it's volunteer as you say, right,

(01:38:11):
and Bill.

Speaker 21 (01:38:12):
Clinton did it, and what was the problem. He dropped
the roles by sixty percent. He required how to work
your claims. So things gone so upside down, and we're
not motivating. And this doesn't affect people with disabilities, pregnant
moms and others who have absolute disabilities, and they absolutely
need that and not fight harder than anyone to make

(01:38:32):
sure they get it. But for people who are just saying,
you know what, I don't want to work. You know,
it's hot out today, you know, and oh my gosh, Sean,
they got to fill out a few papers. It's very complicated. Apparently,
give me a break. Okay, do your jobs, get off
the couch, go help out, volunteer and who knows, you
may find something you really enjoy.

Speaker 6 (01:38:50):
All right, clickbreak, Welcome back more with well just announced
Republican Senate candidate from New Hampshire, Scott Brown is with us.
We'll have more with Scott than your calls on the
other side. Eight one hundred and ninety four one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program,
as we continue.

Speaker 9 (01:39:10):
The Sean Hannity Show, a thermonuclear MMBA assault on Faby News.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
Hannity is on right now.

Speaker 6 (01:39:44):
How we continue now, mongst He is running as a
Republican from the Live fore or Die state of New Hampshire.

Speaker 4 (01:39:52):
I really am hoping.

Speaker 6 (01:39:53):
I think this is a seat that can be won,
and I do have a lot of faith that I
love the people in New Hampshire. They're wonderful people. I
love their rugged individualism. I love your slogan obviously, I
borrowed it from my book Lived for ear Die. And
do you expect or anticipate that you're going to have
a primary in this race?

Speaker 21 (01:40:13):
Yeah? I don't know, Sean. Last time I ran, I
barely lost to Shaheen fourteen thousand votes. I had like
fifteen people and I beat him by a fifty percent.
You know, primaries are good things. The Democrats, as we
know by Biden Harris, don't like them because they have
to answer questions. And you know the Democrats here are
the same way. All let's clear the field. God forbid
hes is a tough questions. I love primaries. Let's go

(01:40:35):
bring it. You know, answer questions, debate. I'll debate Chris
Baptis right now on your show. Let's go. I'm ready
put me in coach.

Speaker 6 (01:40:44):
Well, the invitations open. If he wants to do a debate,
I'll put aside an hour and a half of both
of you to debate on this show. So the challenges out,
We'll have my team reach out and see if he
wants to come on.

Speaker 21 (01:40:57):
Great.

Speaker 6 (01:40:58):
But you know one thing I want I want everybody
to realize is if we don't control the House, intent
this twenty twenty sixth election is very critical. They just
tried to impeach Donald Trump yesterday. If Democrats get control
of the House and Senate, all of his good work
will come to a screeching halt. He won't be able

(01:41:19):
to accomplish anything at that point, and he will be
impeached over and over and over again by you know,
a party that has been so radicalized, and it would
be such a shame for the country. And that's why
I'm warning everybody now it matters in twenty twenty six.
Get out and vote. These midterms are critical for the
future of our country. Anyway, Scott Brown, we do appreciate

(01:41:42):
you and we will be following your race very very closely.
And thanks for taking our time, your time, and we
rich you the best on the campaign trail.

Speaker 21 (01:41:52):
Thank you, Sean. God bless you, and God bless your
listeners and America obviously, thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:41:57):
God bless God, bless everybody. God bless us this country,
God bless the world. We need to get things straightened out.
We're in the process of getting things straightened out. We
just got to, you know, really really keep our foot
on the gas. I want to deputize all of you
now for twenty twenty six. Hannity, twenty twenty five, Why
are you talking about the twenty twenty six midterms Because

(01:42:18):
they're going to matter. Everything's going to be on the line.
And the Democrats, you know, they hate Donald Trump so
much as no, there's no line they won't cross.

Speaker 4 (01:42:29):
Linda, how do you say it?

Speaker 1 (01:42:31):
Silver palette pasta sauce, silver palapasta sauce, silver palad pasta sauce,
better than Prego and Rail.

Speaker 6 (01:42:38):
Just remember the name Silver Palate, Pasta Sauce and Brain
and berry Cereal.

Speaker 4 (01:42:43):
This is the best of the best. This is the
Sean Hannity Show.
