In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's high-profile assassination, Sean Hannity leads a conversation spotlighting both the cultural tensions and the future of conservative values in America. Featuring former Speaker Newt Gingrich, the segment dissects recent incendiary comments by Congresswoman Omar and others, contrasting divisive rhetoric with the messages of forgiveness voiced by Kirk's allies like Erica Kirk. Gingrich frames the moment as the early stages of a âcultural civil war, warning of further polarization as traditional American values reassert themselves nationally. The discussion underscores Kirk's legacy especially his impact on youth and the incalculable significance of his message and suggests his tragic death could fuel a broader revival of faith and patriotism. This matters as America approaches pivotal anniversaries and faces rising ideological hostility, with conservatives rallying around calls for unity, security, and constitutional values.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Well, well, come out, get you an und well be
and if you want a little banging.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Ye come along.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
If you're into the worst of times, this too shall
pass and things are going to get better if you
run through the best of times, though it's really humbling,
like this too shall pass and this will fade away
because this will not last forever. So I love that,
don't Yeah? Exactly? So it's a it's a time transcendent
truth that applies towards all periods as an entrepreneur. It
humbles you when you need it and builds you up
(00:49):
when you need it, gives you hope when you need it,
and also gives you a little bit of dose of
a gun.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Check this Frado is back in style. Welcome to the revolution,
to be away of.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Coming to your sentem, going the way out.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Against alas and saying you a conscious sun.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
New Sean Hannity Show, more me I'm the Scenes, information
on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
All right, thanks Scott Channon, Hour two Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
To free.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Our number is eight hundred nine pot one, Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program, joining
us now. Former Speaker of the House, author of the
New York Times bestseller Trump's Triumph, America's greatest comeback is
with us, mister speaker, great to have you back. You know,
I'll quote golfer Phil Mickelson, who was condemning Congresswoman Omar
(01:46):
for her despicable comments that she made. You know, Kirk
was doctor Frankenstein and his monster, you know, shot him
through the neck, and you know he's represent a reprehensible,
hateful man. And I can go to AOC and Jasmine Crockett,
I went through all of it in the last hour
(02:06):
and then goes on msdn C, you know, and how
are you how are you holding up?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Congresswoman Omar.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
But then you listen to Phil Mickelson and he was
absolutely right in saying that, you know, this is like
you get the best out of humanity and the worst
out of humanity at the same time. We've seen this
movie unfortunately before. I just wanted to get your thoughts.
On the other hand, you got Erica Kirk, you know,
saying our Savior said, forgive them, Father, for they know
(02:35):
not what they do. I forgive him. I forgive him
because it was what Christ did and what Charlie would
do compare that for me.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
The first of all, we are in the early stages
of a cultural civil war, which is very real, and
I think that that's hard for people to grasp. But
the people on the other side are totally sincere. We
may think that they're crazy, we may think that they
make no sense, but they inside their worldview, they're faced
(03:06):
with annihilation because the American people and President Trump have
come together to fundamentally go back to classic American values
and classic American rules. I mean things as simple as
not allowing boys in girls' bathrooms, which you know nineteen
(03:27):
sixty would have been obvious, but for a brief period,
particularly under Obama and Biden, it suddenly became something where
the state was going to impose on us a radically
different set of values, something as simple as basic patriotism.
You think that America matters? Does English matter as a language?
(03:47):
Should we have a border that works? On all of
these things? The gap between the big government socialists left
with its weird values and the rest of the country
is enormous, and based on our America's New Majority Project pulling,
we guessed that somewhere between fifteen and twenty percent of
(04:08):
the American people side with the big government socialists and
their weird values, and the rest of the country clearly
opposes them. And so what you're going to see is
more and more, I think, the fervor and fanaticism as
they literally see all the things that they want to
happen disappear, as the American people sort of return to
(04:31):
a core belief in the constitution, in the work ethic,
and the right to rise based on meritocracy, and a
whole range of things, all of which are direct threats
to the people on the left who are speaking in
such harsh language.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Let me just lay out some of it for you
and juxtapose this to what Erica Kirk said and what
so many eloquent speakers said, yesterda this memorial service, and
you know, a group of people outside the memorial service,
you know, was signed being held by somebody. And I
(05:10):
don't know what would compel somebody to do this. You know,
rot in hell, bad things happen to bad people. You
have a prominent congresswoman part of the squad, which is
one of the leading voices of the Democratic Party in
light of the assassination, calling Charlie Kirk doctor Frankenstein, and
a reprehensible, hateful man, then lying saying he didn't believe
(05:34):
we should have equal access to anything. I just didn't
believe I could. He didn't think I could be smart enough,
I could have thoughts, that I could have thoughts that
would be equal to that of a of a white man.
Even Joe Manchin, you know, stunned saying the Democratic Party
is getting worse, not getting any better. I think that's
(05:55):
one of the reasons he left the US Senate and
why so many people he pointed out, oh, leaving the
Democratic Party. I don't know what to make of it,
to be honest, I mean, it's like it's beyond shocking.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well, specifically, what I said is my premise, which is
that this is all real. That from their side, they
feel desperate, that they are being driven to more and
more radical and hostile views out of desperation, not because
(06:29):
they feel confident, but because in fact, they are terrified
by what they're seeing happen. And what's happening is as
the country continues to move away from them, as people
increasingly see them as weird, unacceptable, alien to the American tradition,
(06:50):
They're going to become more desperate. They're not going to
become easier to deal with.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
And are you saying and I hate to even ask
this question, but there were two would be assassins against
Donald Trump. They assassinated Charlie Kirk. We saw the violence
in the Summer of Love in twenty twenty, dozens of
dead Americans, thousands of injured police, billions of property damage.
But quote the media and the Democrats said it was
(07:17):
mostly peaceful. I mean, are you telling us that this
is now just going to be part of American culture
and American life and that they're going to just keep
doing this and get away with us.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, I don't think they're going to get away with it.
You'll notice the assassin is going to be tried and
either get the death penalty or prior to get life
without parole to you know, we're going to go after people.
Antifa now is about to be declared a terrorist organization
and the people who donated to it will face consequences,
(07:49):
I think, which almost certainly will include George Soros and
his people. And I think you're going to see the country,
in an organized way, become much more militant and much
more aggressive about being against anti violence against those who
would advocate violence and against those who would create the
(08:12):
kind of hysterical hatred of the russo US. I mean,
you look at what some of these people say, and
you're exactly right. You look at school teachers who have
been said, you know that they're glad that Charlie Kirk
was dead. Well, that's totally unacceptable, and I suspect you're
going to find a lot of people getting fired for
(08:33):
saying things like that. But I do think you shouldn't underestimate,
from the standpoint of somebody who is believes in transgenderism
or somebody who believes passionately that there should be no borders,
that the US is a bad country. Number the left
(08:54):
has for fifty years now painted this picture of a
bad America. Well, the folks who believe that are now
very frightened that they're about to be dumb and dominated
by margins so big that they have no hope of
winning by that very what they would have thought called
bad America, Well, you and I would call the United
(09:16):
States of America the American Dream, the American Constitution. So
we're going to celebrate a two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
next year of the launching of the decoration of Pendice.
People on the left will not celebrate because they will think,
you know, this is the beginning of a terrible country.
And you see that when you deal with the hard left,
(09:38):
it's amazing that they left really in an alternative universe.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Well, I'm looking at it.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
You know, I've tried to actually engage Governor Gavin Newsom
and say when is enough going to be enough here?
And you know, after a fairly reasonable text exchange which
I won't disclose, you know, I thought I had made progress.
The next thing I see is on ex post, DHS
Secretary Christy Noman is going to have a really bad day.
(10:07):
And then he he signs a bill no more masked
ice in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
You know, I mean to me, that is that is
very dangerous.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And now it's even been referred to a US attorney
regarding this.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I mean, what is he thinking?
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Why would you say that about the Department of Homeland
Security Secretary. We have a supremacy clause. He knows what
the law of the land is, you know, But why
would why are people going to that extreme? I mean,
is it to get a nomination?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Is it? What is the motivation behind it?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Look, there's there's a block of people on the left
who favor the criminal over the police. They favor the
illegal immigrant over ice. We keep you know, Frank Paroso
once gave a speech trying to explain Nazi Germany. Instead,
if you're standing next to a rattlesnake, you don't have
(11:06):
to wait until it strikes to decide that it's dangerous.
And I think we have we we because we believe
in a free society, because we believe in living with
our neighbors. It's very hard for most everyday normal people
to understand that they may have neighbors who have a deep,
(11:27):
vicious hostility towards them. And yet we know we've now
seen example after example of people on the left, whether
it is, you know, shooting the Republican majority leader at
a baseball field, or it is trying to assassinate a
(11:49):
Supreme Court justice. I mean, there's incident after incident after
incident now, and of course there was the whole glorification
of violence in the summer of twenty twenty, when people
on the left thought it was wonderful to burn down buildings,
including police stations, to generally cause chaos. You'll notice, by
(12:11):
the way radical difference on the two sides. When Charlie
Kirk gets killed, you don't see riots by the Conservatives.
You don't see conservatives out burning down buildings. There's deep anger,
there's a deep sense that something's terribly wrong, but we
in fact are trying to use the rule of law
(12:31):
to straighten the country, which is why I thought President
Trump's designation of Antifa as a terrorist group was a
very important signal about where this is going to go.
We are going to, in fact have a reckoning with
all these various elements who've been trying to destroy America.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
All right, quick break, welcome back. More with former Speaker
of the House, New Kingrids than your calls are straight
ahead eight hundred and nine four one, Sean. If you
want to be a part of the program this Monday,
Terry is in HI. How are you glad you called?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Sean?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
It's a great honor to UH to to talk to you.
I just want to comment on I watched the uh
memorial yesterday and very heartfelt. I didn't know Charlie. I
only followed him for about the last four and a
(13:24):
half years on social media and loved his content, just
love what he was doing for this country and for
the for the youth, and now, you know, it's it's
hard to just imagine that all I can do now
is to watch repeats of Charlie Kirk. I won't be
(13:48):
able to see the new content, the new and the
new uh you know videos, and for him moving forward
with the young college kids. So so for me one
out of millions, it's hurt it's hurtful. Even my son
said the same same thing. He said he wished he
could unsee the video. And I think millions of people
(14:11):
are feeling the same way.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
A lot of people feel that way about that video.
A lot a lot of people have told me that.
And then I have other friends that told me that
they they that they won't look at a period end
of sentence. And you know, because of what I do
for a living, I feel like I feel obligated to
look at it. And number one, but number two because
(14:35):
I don't think you have to deal with the reality
sometimes when when isis line people up on a beach
and be ahead of them. Daniel Pearl, you know these
the videos from October seventh, twenty twenty three. I wish
more people in the media and the and the punditry world.
And you know, these idiots on college campuses and in
the halls of Congress that are anti Semitic. I wish
(14:56):
they'd look at those videos that I've seen because of that.
They it does change your heart and mind. But you're right,
you don't ever get those images out of your head ever.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
It was yes, sir, for me, for me being from
you know, Minnesota. Only did I only learn that only
a few weeks two and a half, three weeks ago.
You know that that Charlie was supposed to be speaking
here today.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Actually they're they're here.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
The turning point is at the University of Minnesota, and
I and I was looking forward to going to that
and and just I wanted to be a part of it.
And and it's it's a real sombary moment, you know that.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
That Well, I'm going to tell you one thing that
I am glad for my own personal self when, uh,
when I saw Charlie at the White House, when I
was doing my first interview with President Trump, when I
got back in office, I met him at the gate
and we talked for a while, and I got to
say to my said, you know what, I really want
(15:59):
to thank thank you for all that you did during
this campaign and your ability to connect with young people
and bring them out to the ballot box, because what
he did was miraculous.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
It was spectacular.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
You know now that I as I look back in
all the video, I wish I thanked them for one
other thing. And the other thing is the message that
he was delivering to young people that they don't hear
on college campuses about going to church, believing in God,
to be respectful men, be respectful to women, women, be
(16:34):
respectful to men. I mean the message. They'd not hearing
this in school. They're a little indoctrination centers, as we know.
And more importantly, you know, the politics obviously was second
to him, and that message is not being heard. Our
children are not getting fed that message enough. He was
(16:55):
very special in that way. The magnitude of as I've
been saying saying, of this what has happened here moment,
we cannot calculate right now. It's in calcula bull But
in time we'll be able to measure it through the
prism of history. That I promise you. Thank you, sir, Terry,
(17:15):
appreciate the call. Greg in California, Greg, how are you
the United Socialist Utopia, California.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Thank you for checking in.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Thanks Shan, good to talk to you today. Hey, I
have a question that a comment about yesterday. My question is,
with President Trump's near assassination in twenty four and then
all the death threats that Charlie's received, why was there
no drone surveillance up of the place? I mean, how
difficult is that. It just seems like a big mistake
(17:44):
on the power of security team.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
I'm going to give you the short answer of it.
The short answer is the type of security that you're
describing is extraordinarily expensive, and it is. But now moving forward,
we have to think about security differently. Right is not
(18:07):
a new phenomenon. Silencing conservative voices on campus are not
a new phenomenon.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Either, Right right and n one comment about yesterday is
amortial service. I thought it was wonderful. I thought it
was moving, and speakers were terrific. And I especially know
it was doctor Ben Carson when he noted that Charlie
was shot at twelve twenty four. And then if you
(18:35):
go to John the book Gospel of John, chapter twelve
or twenty four, it talks about if a grain of
wheat falls to the ground and dies, it will produce
much fruit. And I firmly believe that, you know, starting
with the Asgary revival back in twenty three, that the
Holy Spirit is really moving and and that Charlie Kirk
(18:55):
to death is going to spark a incredible revival here.
I mean, you consider that that YouTuber's reporting they've had
seven million contacts for yesterday's Yesterday's Memorial service, seven million,
and you look at the number of TPUSA chapters that
are asking to rapplication or would be chapter saphifications. I mean,
(19:15):
the Holy Spirit is moving, and I think Charlie will
do more in death, unfortunately, I mean in a way
because we love him alive, but then he did when
he was living.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Again.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
I don't think we can calculate the magnitude. He did
so much good and he had so much to offer.
And you know, at the end of the day, all
of us, whether we want to accept this truth or
reality or not, we're not on our time. We're on
God's time and you know, for the time. That's why
I think it's incredibly important that everybody make individual decisions.
(19:51):
You know, tell the people in your life you love them.
You know, every day matters. Every moment matters, and every
moment that you have in your life, you know, live
it the way that that you would want to be
remembered by. And I think there's a there's a lot
to learn, you know, in somebody's passing like this. I mean,
(20:14):
I thought one of the more beautiful moments during Erica's
speech yesterday was you know, she she she gave advice
to young people about how to have a great marriage. Uh,
we're not teaching our kids this, you know about sir,
you know, Charlie would ask her every day, how can
I better serve you? Charlie would leave a note you know,
(20:34):
for his wife every day once a week.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I mean things like that.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
There's there's all sorts of creative things that people can
do to show the people in our lives that we
love them and that we care about them and check
in with them. And the idea that you know, there's
always been this attitude. We've discussed it before a mentor
of the head of the household. You know, how about
(20:58):
the word jennal before men be a gentleman, and it
doesn't mean you're Fred Flintstone or Bam or you know,
Barney Rubble or bam, bam. It means that you're there
to be the to serve your family, just like and
you are partners with your wife. You know, it's not
somebody that well on the head. You got to listen
(21:19):
to me, no, And I thought she. I thought that
Eric was very eloquent yesterday and advice for both men
and for women in terms of how we can better
get along and have better families. And I think that
is the foundation of a strong society, very powerful eight
hundred nine four one sewn. Everybody needs a personal safety
(21:39):
security plan. I have one, and everybody needs one. And
ninety nine percent of altercations. Most people don't know this.
And I've always, you know, had a pistol carry permit
my entire life and I still do and it's part
of my personal safety and security strategies. But ninety nine
percent of altercations do not require lethal force. So with
(22:03):
the new technology that is Burner, you have a less
lethal alternative, which if you can't get away, should be
your first alternative. First alternative is to get away. Second
one is non lethal. Anyway, the beauty of the Burner
technology and go look at their videos online BYRNA dot
com and check them out and you can see. You
(22:24):
can incapacitate any attacker for thirty to forty minutes. The
Burner launcher has powerful deterrens, tear gas, pepper spray, kinetic rounds.
You can hit targets fifty sixty feet away. There's a
reason why over five hundred government agencies, police departments, private
security firms are now using this technology because it works,
it's effective, you don't need a background check, you don't
(22:45):
need to permit, it's legal in all fifty states. They
just introduce their new cl their Compact Launcher, the smallest
launcher to date, four inches long, two smartphones thick, you
can conceal carry without attracting any unnecessary attention, and it's
powerful four hundred if ires a four hundred feet per second,
forty one jewels of force per square inch. Anyway, just
(23:06):
check out the videos yourself. Please make a part of
your your family's safety and security strategies. Go to BYRNA
dot com to learn more. I wish the world wasn't
a dangerous place full of evil, but it is BYRNA
dot com, or check it out at your local Sportsman's
warehouse location.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
The Final Hour roundup is next you do not want
to miss it, and stay tuned for the final hour
free for all on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
All right, let's get back to our busy phones. Eight
hundred ninety four one, Sean. If you want to be
a part of the program, Don Lake Ronkonkoma, Don welcome aboard, sir.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
How are you hey?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Sure?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
And thank you so much for taking my call. Yeah,
I've been I've binge watched that entire Charlie Kirk memorial
and it was very impressive. All the speakers, Uh, you know,
Charlie stood for faith, family, and freedom and that certainly
was on display at that memorial service yesterday, and all
the speakers, the crew from the turning point, the leaders,
(24:41):
Larry On and Ben Carson, Stephen Miller, and Donald Trump,
his son. It was just it was just very uplifting, sad,
but uplifting. And of course Erica Kirk's sam, you know her, Uh,
we're giving that horrible man who took her husband's life.
I don't think there was a dry eye in the place,
(25:03):
and certainly across the country. It was just an incredible memorial.
And at the same time that that was going on,
we're hearing from a jasmine crackpot, saying that that Charley
Kirk was targeting people of color her lying her head
off on CNN. So the saga continues. We still have
(25:28):
a long ways to go. It's just amazing to me.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
We do have a long way to go.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
But you know what, there is there's an opportunity for reset.
Every day is an opportunity to reset your life. Every
day is an opportunity for you to get up and
want to be a better person. And the path is
out there, and I think faith for me is a big,
big part of that path. And I think that I
(25:53):
think it's critical and if you want to have you know,
happiness and wellness, peace in this life, I think that
really is the only path. That's my own personal view.
And I thought people were so eloquent about it yesterday
that it was very moving, very touching. It was a
(26:15):
strong reminder and a moment, a reset moment for everybody
and everybody's life, and I hope people take advantage of it.
Don We appreciate you, man, God bless you. Eight hundred
and nine to four one Shawn Z and Idaho, Hey Z,
You're on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
Glad you called Hie Sean, it's nice to kind of
meet you. Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
Well, it's great to have you. Thank you for checking in.
What's on your mind.
Speaker 10 (26:38):
Erica's remarks were just so amazing. That is Charlie Kirk's wife, right,
I just had a brain part.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Yes, yes, Erica good.
Speaker 10 (26:49):
I couldn't believe that, you know, even in this I mean,
she has this worldwide platform available to her, and she's
just such an amazing Christian example. And how she forgave,
you know, forgave the shooter and just talked about how
you know, we can't fight hate with hate. You know,
that was that was really cool and I love that.
(27:11):
Part of what made Charlie so awesome is that he
would reach across, you know, dividing lines and say, you
disagree with me, let's have a conversation. And I agree
that this is a reset or a turning point in
our country. And I hope that we can turn towards
each other and not away from each other. And I
think a huge, real, or a really huge and effective way,
(27:32):
but a simple thing is to just change our vernacular
towards each other.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You know.
Speaker 10 (27:36):
It's like there's so much they versus them. I mean,
even like the left versus the right, and it's you know,
so it's antagonistic in its very nature. And you know,
I understand, like you know, in your position, and you know,
and other radio shows and other conservative talk shows, it's like, well,
how else do you identify, you know, people that I
(27:57):
disagree with? And even though I think if the vernacular
has changed, you know, quote unquote up high, it would
trickle down and help us become you know, more unified
lower if you will.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
But at least we've we've heard some of the worst vile, putred, despicable, disgusting,
repulsive language from the left since you know, in the
last twelve days. I don't know how you can change
their hearts and minds. I don't I don't know what
makes people that sick, to be honest with you, but
(28:30):
as we've been playing and going over in the course
of this program, I I don't know how you have
a conversation with people that think that way. We can
have political conversations all day, but if you know your
your reaction is to show up at at a memorial,
you know, with a sign that you're you're holding up
that says, uh, you know rotten Hell. I mean, I
(28:53):
don't know how you deal with people like that, or
Congress Home and Omar or AOC or Jasmine Crockett or
any of these people that have been making these vile comments.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
I really don't.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I don't know where the conversation begins, because that's just
basic human decency to me. I do have to run
Zee love our friends in Idaho. God bless you. Appreciate
the call. Eight hundred and nine four one. Shawn is
on number if you want to be a part of
the program.
Well, well, come out, get you an und well be
and if you want a little banging.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Ye come along.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
If you're into the worst of times, this too shall
pass and things are going to get better if you
run through the best of times, though it's really humbling,
like this too shall pass and this will fade away
because this will not last forever. So I love that,
don't Yeah? Exactly? So it's a it's a time transcendent
truth that applies towards all periods as an entrepreneur. It
humbles you when you need it and builds you up
(00:49):
when you need it, gives you hope when you need it,
and also gives you a little bit of dose of
a gun.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Check this Frado is back in style. Welcome to the revolution,
to be away of.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Coming to your sentem, going the way out.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Against alas and saying you a conscious sun.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
New Sean Hannity Show, more me I'm the Scenes, information
on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
All right, thanks Scott Channon, Hour two Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
To free.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Our number is eight hundred nine pot one, Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program, joining
us now. Former Speaker of the House, author of the
New York Times bestseller Trump's Triumph, America's greatest comeback is
with us, mister speaker, great to have you back. You know,
I'll quote golfer Phil Mickelson, who was condemning Congresswoman Omar
(01:46):
for her despicable comments that she made. You know, Kirk
was doctor Frankenstein and his monster, you know, shot him
through the neck, and you know he's represent a reprehensible,
hateful man. And I can go to AOC and Jasmine Crockett,
I went through all of it in the last hour
(02:06):
and then goes on msdn C, you know, and how
are you how are you holding up?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Congresswoman Omar.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
But then you listen to Phil Mickelson and he was
absolutely right in saying that, you know, this is like
you get the best out of humanity and the worst
out of humanity at the same time. We've seen this
movie unfortunately before. I just wanted to get your thoughts.
On the other hand, you got Erica Kirk, you know,
saying our Savior said, forgive them, Father, for they know
(02:35):
not what they do. I forgive him. I forgive him
because it was what Christ did and what Charlie would
do compare that for me.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
The first of all, we are in the early stages
of a cultural civil war, which is very real, and
I think that that's hard for people to grasp. But
the people on the other side are totally sincere. We
may think that they're crazy, we may think that they
make no sense, but they inside their worldview, they're faced
(03:06):
with annihilation because the American people and President Trump have
come together to fundamentally go back to classic American values
and classic American rules. I mean things as simple as
not allowing boys in girls' bathrooms, which you know nineteen
(03:27):
sixty would have been obvious, but for a brief period,
particularly under Obama and Biden, it suddenly became something where
the state was going to impose on us a radically
different set of values, something as simple as basic patriotism.
You think that America matters? Does English matter as a language?
(03:47):
Should we have a border that works? On all of
these things? The gap between the big government socialists left
with its weird values and the rest of the country
is enormous, and based on our America's New Majority Project pulling,
we guessed that somewhere between fifteen and twenty percent of
(04:08):
the American people side with the big government socialists and
their weird values, and the rest of the country clearly
opposes them. And so what you're going to see is
more and more, I think, the fervor and fanaticism as
they literally see all the things that they want to
happen disappear, as the American people sort of return to
(04:31):
a core belief in the constitution, in the work ethic,
and the right to rise based on meritocracy, and a
whole range of things, all of which are direct threats
to the people on the left who are speaking in
such harsh language.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Let me just lay out some of it for you
and juxtapose this to what Erica Kirk said and what
so many eloquent speakers said, yesterda this memorial service, and
you know, a group of people outside the memorial service,
you know, was signed being held by somebody. And I
(05:10):
don't know what would compel somebody to do this. You know,
rot in hell, bad things happen to bad people. You
have a prominent congresswoman part of the squad, which is
one of the leading voices of the Democratic Party in
light of the assassination, calling Charlie Kirk doctor Frankenstein, and
a reprehensible, hateful man, then lying saying he didn't believe
(05:34):
we should have equal access to anything. I just didn't
believe I could. He didn't think I could be smart enough,
I could have thoughts, that I could have thoughts that
would be equal to that of a of a white man.
Even Joe Manchin, you know, stunned saying the Democratic Party
is getting worse, not getting any better. I think that's
(05:55):
one of the reasons he left the US Senate and
why so many people he pointed out, oh, leaving the
Democratic Party. I don't know what to make of it,
to be honest, I mean, it's like it's beyond shocking.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well, specifically, what I said is my premise, which is
that this is all real. That from their side, they
feel desperate, that they are being driven to more and
more radical and hostile views out of desperation, not because
(06:29):
they feel confident, but because in fact, they are terrified
by what they're seeing happen. And what's happening is as
the country continues to move away from them, as people
increasingly see them as weird, unacceptable, alien to the American tradition,
(06:50):
They're going to become more desperate. They're not going to
become easier to deal with.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
And are you saying and I hate to even ask
this question, but there were two would be assassins against
Donald Trump. They assassinated Charlie Kirk. We saw the violence
in the Summer of Love in twenty twenty, dozens of
dead Americans, thousands of injured police, billions of property damage.
But quote the media and the Democrats said it was
(07:17):
mostly peaceful. I mean, are you telling us that this
is now just going to be part of American culture
and American life and that they're going to just keep
doing this and get away with us.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, I don't think they're going to get away with it.
You'll notice the assassin is going to be tried and
either get the death penalty or prior to get life
without parole to you know, we're going to go after people.
Antifa now is about to be declared a terrorist organization
and the people who donated to it will face consequences,
(07:49):
I think, which almost certainly will include George Soros and
his people. And I think you're going to see the country,
in an organized way, become much more militant and much
more aggressive about being against anti violence against those who
would advocate violence and against those who would create the
(08:12):
kind of hysterical hatred of the russo US. I mean,
you look at what some of these people say, and
you're exactly right. You look at school teachers who have
been said, you know that they're glad that Charlie Kirk
was dead. Well, that's totally unacceptable, and I suspect you're
going to find a lot of people getting fired for
(08:33):
saying things like that. But I do think you shouldn't underestimate,
from the standpoint of somebody who is believes in transgenderism
or somebody who believes passionately that there should be no borders,
that the US is a bad country. Number the left
(08:54):
has for fifty years now painted this picture of a
bad America. Well, the folks who believe that are now
very frightened that they're about to be dumb and dominated
by margins so big that they have no hope of
winning by that very what they would have thought called
bad America, Well, you and I would call the United
(09:16):
States of America the American Dream, the American Constitution. So
we're going to celebrate a two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
next year of the launching of the decoration of Pendice.
People on the left will not celebrate because they will think,
you know, this is the beginning of a terrible country.
And you see that when you deal with the hard left,
(09:38):
it's amazing that they left really in an alternative universe.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Well, I'm looking at it.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
You know, I've tried to actually engage Governor Gavin Newsom
and say when is enough going to be enough here?
And you know, after a fairly reasonable text exchange which
I won't disclose, you know, I thought I had made progress.
The next thing I see is on ex post, DHS
Secretary Christy Noman is going to have a really bad day.
(10:07):
And then he he signs a bill no more masked
ice in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
You know, I mean to me, that is that is
very dangerous.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And now it's even been referred to a US attorney
regarding this.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I mean, what is he thinking?
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Why would you say that about the Department of Homeland
Security Secretary. We have a supremacy clause. He knows what
the law of the land is, you know, But why
would why are people going to that extreme? I mean,
is it to get a nomination?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Is it? What is the motivation behind it?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Look, there's there's a block of people on the left
who favor the criminal over the police. They favor the
illegal immigrant over ice. We keep you know, Frank Paroso
once gave a speech trying to explain Nazi Germany. Instead,
if you're standing next to a rattlesnake, you don't have
(11:06):
to wait until it strikes to decide that it's dangerous.
And I think we have we we because we believe
in a free society, because we believe in living with
our neighbors. It's very hard for most everyday normal people
to understand that they may have neighbors who have a deep,
(11:27):
vicious hostility towards them. And yet we know we've now
seen example after example of people on the left, whether
it is, you know, shooting the Republican majority leader at
a baseball field, or it is trying to assassinate a
(11:49):
Supreme Court justice. I mean, there's incident after incident after
incident now, and of course there was the whole glorification
of violence in the summer of twenty twenty, when people
on the left thought it was wonderful to burn down buildings,
including police stations, to generally cause chaos. You'll notice, by
(12:11):
the way radical difference on the two sides. When Charlie
Kirk gets killed, you don't see riots by the Conservatives.
You don't see conservatives out burning down buildings. There's deep anger,
there's a deep sense that something's terribly wrong, but we
in fact are trying to use the rule of law
(12:31):
to straighten the country, which is why I thought President
Trump's designation of Antifa as a terrorist group was a
very important signal about where this is going to go.
We are going to, in fact have a reckoning with
all these various elements who've been trying to destroy America.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
All right, quick break, welcome back. More with former Speaker
of the House, New Kingrids than your calls are straight
ahead eight hundred and nine four one, Sean. If you
want to be a part of the program this Monday,
Terry is in HI. How are you glad you called?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Sean?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
It's a great honor to UH to to talk to you.
I just want to comment on I watched the uh
memorial yesterday and very heartfelt. I didn't know Charlie. I
only followed him for about the last four and a
(13:24):
half years on social media and loved his content, just
love what he was doing for this country and for
the for the youth, and now, you know, it's it's
hard to just imagine that all I can do now
is to watch repeats of Charlie Kirk. I won't be
(13:48):
able to see the new content, the new and the
new uh you know videos, and for him moving forward
with the young college kids. So so for me one
out of millions, it's hurt it's hurtful. Even my son
said the same same thing. He said he wished he
could unsee the video. And I think millions of people
(14:11):
are feeling the same way.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
A lot of people feel that way about that video.
A lot a lot of people have told me that.
And then I have other friends that told me that
they they that they won't look at a period end
of sentence. And you know, because of what I do
for a living, I feel like I feel obligated to
look at it. And number one, but number two because
(14:35):
I don't think you have to deal with the reality
sometimes when when isis line people up on a beach
and be ahead of them. Daniel Pearl, you know these
the videos from October seventh, twenty twenty three. I wish
more people in the media and the and the punditry world.
And you know, these idiots on college campuses and in
the halls of Congress that are anti Semitic. I wish
(14:56):
they'd look at those videos that I've seen because of that.
They it does change your heart and mind. But you're right,
you don't ever get those images out of your head ever.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
It was yes, sir, for me, for me being from
you know, Minnesota. Only did I only learn that only
a few weeks two and a half, three weeks ago.
You know that that Charlie was supposed to be speaking
here today.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Actually they're they're here.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
The turning point is at the University of Minnesota, and
I and I was looking forward to going to that
and and just I wanted to be a part of it.
And and it's it's a real sombary moment, you know that.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
That Well, I'm going to tell you one thing that
I am glad for my own personal self when, uh,
when I saw Charlie at the White House, when I
was doing my first interview with President Trump, when I
got back in office, I met him at the gate
and we talked for a while, and I got to
say to my said, you know what, I really want
(15:59):
to thank thank you for all that you did during
this campaign and your ability to connect with young people
and bring them out to the ballot box, because what
he did was miraculous.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
It was spectacular.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
You know now that I as I look back in
all the video, I wish I thanked them for one
other thing. And the other thing is the message that
he was delivering to young people that they don't hear
on college campuses about going to church, believing in God,
to be respectful men, be respectful to women, women, be
(16:34):
respectful to men. I mean the message. They'd not hearing
this in school. They're a little indoctrination centers, as we know.
And more importantly, you know, the politics obviously was second
to him, and that message is not being heard. Our
children are not getting fed that message enough. He was
(16:55):
very special in that way. The magnitude of as I've
been saying saying, of this what has happened here moment,
we cannot calculate right now. It's in calcula bull But
in time we'll be able to measure it through the
prism of history. That I promise you. Thank you, sir, Terry,
(17:15):
appreciate the call. Greg in California, Greg, how are you
the United Socialist Utopia, California.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Thank you for checking in.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Thanks Shan, good to talk to you today. Hey, I
have a question that a comment about yesterday. My question is,
with President Trump's near assassination in twenty four and then
all the death threats that Charlie's received, why was there
no drone surveillance up of the place? I mean, how
difficult is that. It just seems like a big mistake
(17:44):
on the power of security team.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
I'm going to give you the short answer of it.
The short answer is the type of security that you're
describing is extraordinarily expensive, and it is. But now moving forward,
we have to think about security differently. Right is not
(18:07):
a new phenomenon. Silencing conservative voices on campus are not
a new phenomenon.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Either, Right right and n one comment about yesterday is
amortial service. I thought it was wonderful. I thought it
was moving, and speakers were terrific. And I especially know
it was doctor Ben Carson when he noted that Charlie
was shot at twelve twenty four. And then if you
(18:35):
go to John the book Gospel of John, chapter twelve
or twenty four, it talks about if a grain of
wheat falls to the ground and dies, it will produce
much fruit. And I firmly believe that, you know, starting
with the Asgary revival back in twenty three, that the
Holy Spirit is really moving and and that Charlie Kirk
(18:55):
to death is going to spark a incredible revival here.
I mean, you consider that that YouTuber's reporting they've had
seven million contacts for yesterday's Yesterday's Memorial service, seven million,
and you look at the number of TPUSA chapters that
are asking to rapplication or would be chapter saphifications. I mean,
(19:15):
the Holy Spirit is moving, and I think Charlie will
do more in death, unfortunately, I mean in a way
because we love him alive, but then he did when
he was living.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Again.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
I don't think we can calculate the magnitude. He did
so much good and he had so much to offer.
And you know, at the end of the day, all
of us, whether we want to accept this truth or
reality or not, we're not on our time. We're on
God's time and you know, for the time. That's why
I think it's incredibly important that everybody make individual decisions.
(19:51):
You know, tell the people in your life you love them.
You know, every day matters. Every moment matters, and every
moment that you have in your life, you know, live
it the way that that you would want to be
remembered by. And I think there's a there's a lot
to learn, you know, in somebody's passing like this. I mean,
(20:14):
I thought one of the more beautiful moments during Erica's
speech yesterday was you know, she she she gave advice
to young people about how to have a great marriage. Uh,
we're not teaching our kids this, you know about sir,
you know, Charlie would ask her every day, how can
I better serve you? Charlie would leave a note you know,
(20:34):
for his wife every day once a week.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I mean things like that.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
There's there's all sorts of creative things that people can
do to show the people in our lives that we
love them and that we care about them and check
in with them. And the idea that you know, there's
always been this attitude. We've discussed it before a mentor
of the head of the household. You know, how about
(20:58):
the word jennal before men be a gentleman, and it
doesn't mean you're Fred Flintstone or Bam or you know,
Barney Rubble or bam, bam. It means that you're there
to be the to serve your family, just like and
you are partners with your wife. You know, it's not
somebody that well on the head. You got to listen
(21:19):
to me, no, And I thought she. I thought that
Eric was very eloquent yesterday and advice for both men
and for women in terms of how we can better
get along and have better families. And I think that
is the foundation of a strong society, very powerful eight
hundred nine four one sewn. Everybody needs a personal safety
(21:39):
security plan. I have one, and everybody needs one. And
ninety nine percent of altercations. Most people don't know this.
And I've always, you know, had a pistol carry permit
my entire life and I still do and it's part
of my personal safety and security strategies. But ninety nine
percent of altercations do not require lethal force. So with
(22:03):
the new technology that is Burner, you have a less
lethal alternative, which if you can't get away, should be
your first alternative. First alternative is to get away. Second
one is non lethal. Anyway, the beauty of the Burner
technology and go look at their videos online BYRNA dot
com and check them out and you can see. You
(22:24):
can incapacitate any attacker for thirty to forty minutes. The
Burner launcher has powerful deterrens, tear gas, pepper spray, kinetic rounds.
You can hit targets fifty sixty feet away. There's a
reason why over five hundred government agencies, police departments, private
security firms are now using this technology because it works,
it's effective, you don't need a background check, you don't
(22:45):
need to permit, it's legal in all fifty states. They
just introduce their new cl their Compact Launcher, the smallest
launcher to date, four inches long, two smartphones thick, you
can conceal carry without attracting any unnecessary attention, and it's
powerful four hundred if ires a four hundred feet per second,
forty one jewels of force per square inch. Anyway, just
(23:06):
check out the videos yourself. Please make a part of
your your family's safety and security strategies. Go to BYRNA
dot com to learn more. I wish the world wasn't
a dangerous place full of evil, but it is BYRNA
dot com, or check it out at your local Sportsman's
warehouse location.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
The Final Hour roundup is next you do not want
to miss it, and stay tuned for the final hour
free for all on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
All right, let's get back to our busy phones. Eight
hundred ninety four one, Sean. If you want to be
a part of the program, Don Lake Ronkonkoma, Don welcome aboard, sir.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
How are you hey?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Sure?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
And thank you so much for taking my call. Yeah,
I've been I've binge watched that entire Charlie Kirk memorial
and it was very impressive. All the speakers, Uh, you know,
Charlie stood for faith, family, and freedom and that certainly
was on display at that memorial service yesterday, and all
the speakers, the crew from the turning point, the leaders,
(24:41):
Larry On and Ben Carson, Stephen Miller, and Donald Trump,
his son. It was just it was just very uplifting, sad,
but uplifting. And of course Erica Kirk's sam, you know her, Uh,
we're giving that horrible man who took her husband's life.
I don't think there was a dry eye in the place,
(25:03):
and certainly across the country. It was just an incredible memorial.
And at the same time that that was going on,
we're hearing from a jasmine crackpot, saying that that Charley
Kirk was targeting people of color her lying her head
off on CNN. So the saga continues. We still have
(25:28):
a long ways to go. It's just amazing to me.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
We do have a long way to go.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
But you know what, there is there's an opportunity for reset.
Every day is an opportunity to reset your life. Every
day is an opportunity for you to get up and
want to be a better person. And the path is
out there, and I think faith for me is a big,
big part of that path. And I think that I
(25:53):
think it's critical and if you want to have you know,
happiness and wellness, peace in this life, I think that
really is the only path. That's my own personal view.
And I thought people were so eloquent about it yesterday
that it was very moving, very touching. It was a
(26:15):
strong reminder and a moment, a reset moment for everybody
and everybody's life, and I hope people take advantage of it.
Don We appreciate you, man, God bless you. Eight hundred
and nine to four one Shawn Z and Idaho, Hey Z,
You're on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
Glad you called Hie Sean, it's nice to kind of
meet you. Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
Well, it's great to have you. Thank you for checking in.
What's on your mind.
Speaker 10 (26:38):
Erica's remarks were just so amazing. That is Charlie Kirk's wife, right,
I just had a brain part.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Yes, yes, Erica good.
Speaker 10 (26:49):
I couldn't believe that, you know, even in this I mean,
she has this worldwide platform available to her, and she's
just such an amazing Christian example. And how she forgave,
you know, forgave the shooter and just talked about how
you know, we can't fight hate with hate. You know,
that was that was really cool and I love that.
(27:11):
Part of what made Charlie so awesome is that he
would reach across, you know, dividing lines and say, you
disagree with me, let's have a conversation. And I agree
that this is a reset or a turning point in
our country. And I hope that we can turn towards
each other and not away from each other. And I
think a huge, real, or a really huge and effective way,
(27:32):
but a simple thing is to just change our vernacular
towards each other.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You know.
Speaker 10 (27:36):
It's like there's so much they versus them. I mean,
even like the left versus the right, and it's you know,
so it's antagonistic in its very nature. And you know,
I understand, like you know, in your position, and you know,
and other radio shows and other conservative talk shows, it's like, well,
how else do you identify, you know, people that I
(27:57):
disagree with? And even though I think if the vernacular
has changed, you know, quote unquote up high, it would
trickle down and help us become you know, more unified
lower if you will.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
But at least we've we've heard some of the worst vile, putred, despicable, disgusting,
repulsive language from the left since you know, in the
last twelve days. I don't know how you can change
their hearts and minds. I don't I don't know what
makes people that sick, to be honest with you, but
(28:30):
as we've been playing and going over in the course
of this program, I I don't know how you have
a conversation with people that think that way. We can
have political conversations all day, but if you know your
your reaction is to show up at at a memorial,
you know, with a sign that you're you're holding up
that says, uh, you know rotten Hell. I mean, I
(28:53):
don't know how you deal with people like that, or
Congress Home and Omar or AOC or Jasmine Crockett or
any of these people that have been making these vile comments.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
I really don't.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I don't know where the conversation begins, because that's just
basic human decency to me. I do have to run
Zee love our friends in Idaho. God bless you. Appreciate
the call. Eight hundred and nine four one. Shawn is
on number if you want to be a part of
the program.
