Speaker 1 (00:00):
An hour two Sean Hannity Show this Friday, eight hundred
(00:02):
and nine to four one.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Shawn is on number.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
If you want to be a part of the program,
let me take you back in time. The year is
twenty ten. This is fake news CNN reporting on Obama's
White House renovation.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh, very different view than today. Listen, that sounds like
they're building another wing to the White House.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
But we appreciate you keeping You can't even imagine to you today.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
It's gonna happen for the next two years. All of
the banging, the jackhammering, the dust, the confusion, the noise
of all places to do construction is happening right here
the front lawn the White House. It's a four year
renovation project, estimated cost three hundred and seventy six million dollars.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Oh, everybody's happy about it.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Nobody was melting down complaining over at ms DNC. Nicole
Wallace not only knows what happened to her. She used
to run John McCain and Sarah Palin's campaign. Now just
gone totally off the bunker's you know, conspiracy theory pedaling
line of MSDNC comparing Trump's White House ballroom to Russia.
(01:08):
They can't get over Russia, Russia, Russia, still obsessed.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
But it's also un American. What he plans to do, right, like,
what's going to go up in its place is not
anything that we're used to seeing. Here, here's a side
by side of Trump's rendition of a ballroom with the
Winter Palace ballroom in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Yeah, Russia, Russia, Russia.
I mean, autocrats have a similar aesthetic.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They like a lot of golds.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It is it is Trump derangement syndrome is a real syndrome. Anyway,
We're privileged and please to have back on the program
our friend Eric Trump.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And oh look at this, Look at this.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
We had him on about his new book Under Siege,
my Family's Fight to save our Nation, as I predicted,
debuting number one on the New York Times bestseller list.
You know, this caused a ton of odjita and indigestion
and just absolute pain inside the halls of the New
(02:06):
York Times to have to put Eric Trump but sid
top of the list. Congratulations, my friend, we did have
a side bet. We'll talk about that in a second.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Well, you know, Sean, I like everything else in life, Well,
it has to be too big to rega and we
won him to sing by by the biggest margin ever.
I mean, we sold hundreds of thousands of copies of books,
just one of theiest book releases of the year by
bar and you are amazing and thank you for having
me on. But obviously it's just this country as tis off,
this country's test and there pitched because of what you
just played a second ago. And by the way, I was,
I was laughing during your introduction. I'm not sure if
(02:34):
you you've caught the number in twenty ten. The ballroom
renovation are the White House renovation he did was three
hundred and forty six million dollars. This is fifteen years ago, Sean.
And yet you know, you know how much my father's
spending at least taxpayer dollars, he's spending zero. You know
why because he's saying for it himself, and he's funding
it with donations to build something that's beautiful. But think
(02:55):
about the fact that Barack Obama could do a minor
renovation of the White House fifteen years ago and spend
over three hundred and forty million dollars. Yet he's literally building,
you know, one hundred thousand square foot ballroom there. That's
gonna be the most beautiful thing you've ever seen any
cost taxpayer zero. That's the difference between Obama, and that's
the difference between DJ taps and that.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
One other thing is is nothing that Obama did in
terms of his renovation that was consequential or transformational. What
your dad is now setting up is a grand ballroom
for people that don't know. If we have heads of
state that come to our country, oftentimes they're either stuck
in a small room and the upstairs of the White House,
(03:37):
usually where they have the White House Christmas Party. I've
been there on occasion, and or they're putting a tent
up in the backyard, which is partly I think fitting
for the United States of America and a president of
our country. I can't you know, there's nothing consequential that
Obama built for that amount.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Of money, of course, of course, and again that's the difference
between Remember it's fifteen years ago. Money's probably free excess
then in terms of the value of it, so that's
probably nine hundred million dollars today, and he did nothing
that was consequentially. Get my father's spending zero and being
giving America an unbelievable president. I mean, isn't that amazing?
And you know, Sean, I haven't told this story publicly,
but you know I do most our construction. He sent
(04:17):
me the plans for it a couple of times. Kay,
what do you think? And Larry last night I sent
him a little message. You know, we should make sure
to put the hand points in the ballroom. This ballroom
is going to be the best anywhere in the world.
It is spectacular. The detail is second to none. Only
Donald Trump could pull this off. And I'm telling you
he's giving the American people such an unbelievable treatment.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean, it really is spectacular, but it is nothing.
And your dad addressed this during his session before a
joint session of Congress. Your dad literally said, you know,
there's nothing I can say that's going to make this
side of the aisle happy. If he can cure cancer,
they would find a way not to applaud when he
introduced the families of Lake and Riley and Joscelyn Nungary
(04:58):
and that young man that became a Secret Service agent
who had beat cancer up to that point that night
special special events, and I said at the time, and
I stand by this, If you can't stand for a
family that lost a loved one that was murdered in
the prime of their life, Lake and Riley out jogging,
(05:18):
or Joscelyn Nungary, a twelve year old girl brutally raped
and brutally murdered in Houston, Texas, twelve years old and
she fought back. If you can't have sympathy for this
young man and appreciate the fact that the President took
the time to make him a Secret Service agent to
honor him after all the tough battles as this young
(05:39):
man had been through. I said, this is a party
not only that has missed the plot, they have lost
their heart and their soul and their conscience. And that's
where we are with this Democratic Party. You know right now,
they don't care, they don't you know. I have one
congresswoman I played this week, you know, saying, oh, yeah,
we know people are going to suffer in the country,
but that this is our only leverage to keep the
(06:01):
government shut down.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
I'm like, wow, oh no, they're crazy, Sean. I mean
you see every single say, look at the drug posts, right,
so you've got these boats and just for contacts, they've
got tons of fentanyl on them, right, and in fentanyl
will kill you know, this will kill tens of thousands
of people. How dare you eliminate a boat that's running
toward US shores that fills with tons and tons of fentanyl?
How dare you, President Trump? I mean this is coming
(06:22):
from the Democrats. Yet you know, every single person in
this country is cheering as these boats go into a
thousand pieces because my father is keeping Americans from getting
killed every single day. You have to day look at
Pritzker or in Chicago. How dare you, President Trump, come
into our city where they have seventy shootings a weekend, right,
I mean you have death after death young. You know,
men and women getting killed on the streets of Chicago.
(06:42):
No one's doing a damn thing about it. My father
wants to fix their problem. And guess what, they go
out and they do press conferences about how dare you?
How dare you want to solve the problem for Chicago.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Don No, they keep calling your father a Nazi. That
idiot keeps calling your dad a Nazi. Four thousand people
dead since he became governor, over four thous and it
says a lot when you have five times the homicide
rate of New York City.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
That's saying something.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Yeah, and especially when we've already seen the story, we
know how this movie can end. And then it's called Washington, DC,
where it went from a massive crime to euro crime
after they arrested forty three hundred people. It took them
twelve days. They arrested forty three hundred people, hardened criminals
who were repeat offenders. And guess what, Our nation's capital
no longer has that crime in and my father wants
to go do the same thing for Chicago, and they
go absolutely crazy. The Democrats have nothing, they have no leadership,
(07:30):
they're not liked by the American people. Air pr ARM,
which was always the mainstream media in this country, the
mainstream media in this country is dead, so they no
longer had the air cover that they used to have
in twenty sixteen twenty seventeen, when I had to fight
them every single day over the rush hooks and the
dirty dossier's and the way they were coming after me
and where they were coming after our family. They have
(07:50):
nothing lost, DEI. They've lost their movement. No one wanted
men my size swimming in women's sports. They lost that one.
They lost the inflation battle off Bidenomics. They realized that
Kamala Harris was a total sham. This was not a
democratic process that put her in. They've lost everything, They've
lost all of their credibility. What he likes, the Democratic
(08:11):
you know, the party in this country. And so what
do they do. They fight my father on the most
spcacular ballroom, you know, and doing it out of it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I mean, that's how low they've gotten.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I want to go back to your book a second,
because and I urge everyone to get a copy of it.
And we have a link on Hannity dot com. There's
one on Amazon dot com. It's now in bookstores everywhere.
It's the number one book in the country. It's called
Under Siege. My Families Fight to save our nation. Now,
we stayed in touch throughout that period. I know the
(08:41):
pressure you are under on a daily basis, And it
started from the day your father came down that escalator
at Trump Tower. And it's not stopped, as you can
see with this ballroom so called controversy.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yeah, but people are laughing it off today versus before
they didn't. I mean, people really thought we were colluding
with Russia. They really thought we had cheek at servers
in the basement of Trump power. I mean, they really
thought that there was a dooshi a thinking my father
did unthinkable things, all that was obviously paid for by
Hillary Clinton. And then once we got past those people,
people starting you know, suspects. They started getting a little
skeptical of what they were hearing. And then it got
(09:15):
to the first impeachment, and then it got to Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh really pissed off a lot of people in this
country because they realized how how in that whole narrative was.
Then it got to the second impeachment. Now they had
really started losing people by this point, and then it
got to the ninety one they got them, and then
they got rating you know, mar A Lago, and then
they threw my father off of Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
It got to all of those, and now you really
(09:36):
started losing people because you're messing with somebody's First Amendment, right,
and you know, and and and then all of a sudden,
you had a country that felt like they were under siege.
And now in Colorado, my father got thrown off the palette.
Now all these Colorado residents felt that they were underseage.
Their voice no longer mattered. And then the same thing
happened in Maine. And then they started putting gag orders
under my father as he was trying to run a campaign,
so so the person that they might vote for could
(09:58):
no longer freely speak to the American public. And then
they tried killing my father the first time, and then
they tried killing him the second time. And then they
killed Charlie Kirk. And I can go on and on
for dates, I can go on and on for day.
And this is how the Democratic Party lost this entire country.
There is a certain point where you have the law
of unintended consequences. People didn't like what they were being
(10:18):
spoon fed. People stopped trusting the Democrats. They knew everything
that they were saying was a lie that they had
been lied to over and over and over. And Sean,
that was the siege, and that was the siege not
only against our family, but against all of us. I mean,
you know, the irs came after us, that leaked to
all of our tax returns. But they did the same
to you, and they did the same to conservative organizations
all across the country. And they targeted churches, and they
(10:41):
targeted you know, families, They targeted businesses that they didn't
agree with for whatever reason, they debanked all these people.
I became one of the most debanked people in American
history for doing absolutely nothing wrong. You know, America, it
wasn't just our family that was under siege. It was
this country that was under siege. It was spirituality that
was under siege. It was our family unit that was undersiege.
It was our children in their classrooms that were under siege.
(11:04):
It was our economy. We were all under siege in
the country. And when you asked why it went to
number one, I mean you deserved the Polisher Prize, Shawns.
You got the story right. New York Times got it wrong.
Maggie Haberman who got the Polisher Prize, she got it
wrong and isn't ironic. The years later, here I am
at the top of the New York Times bestseller list,
you know, for writing a book about how corruption on
(11:25):
icicle all these people were were the very institution that's
giving me the award was the very institution that was
getting it wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Back at the time, All right, quick break right back
more with Eric Trump, who is with us. His new
book just out Under a Siege. My Family's fight to
save our nation after one week, debuting number one on
the New York Times list. We'll continue with Eric Trump
on the other side than your calls, coming up eight
hundred and nine to four one, Shawn.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Exposing the Pelosi Party's chaos and corruptions all day, every day.
This is a shanity show.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I we continue.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Eric Trump is with us. His new book is out.
It's been out a week. It's on Hannity dot com,
Amazon dot com, bookstores around the country, debuting number one
on the New York Times bestseller list. Under Siege, My
Family's fight to save our nation. And we continue with Eric.
You know, I don't say this because we're friends. I
say this because this shouldn't happen in the United States.
(12:52):
And the magnitude of pressure and sacrifice and frankly persecution
that your family went through. I don't even I don't
feel comfortable talking about the little stuff they did to me,
and by the way, it wasn't pleasant. I'm not going
to lie, but it's nothing compared to what they did
to your father and to you and your sisters and
(13:13):
your your brothers, and how they wanted to destroy all
of you and send you to jail. I got phone
calls saying, I'm hearing that the arrest of Don Junior
and Eric might be imminent.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Well, we had never gone a traffic kick in our life.
You know, we didn't have a laptop from hell. You know,
there's no there's no drugs, there was no you know, prostitution,
there's no illicit pictures, there's no lies. You know, there's
certainly no intelligence agencies coming out and saying that, you know,
the la Are laptops were Russian disinformation. There was no
cover up. You know, we're honest people. We're honest people
(13:48):
who fought like hell on that store on the other
side to save a nation that was massively in the climb,
you know that, to save a nation that was massively corrupt,
and you had a side that lost the narratives, they
lost the people, and their only tool that they had
left was to inflict you know, emotional harm, reputational harm,
financial harm, and then ultimately physical harm. Sean, And make
(14:08):
no mistake about it. I mean you you had senators
out there, and you remember that you covered You were
probably the only one that was covering this at the
time who was saying that my father should lose Secret
Service protection because he didn't deserve to be protected. And
sure enough, you know, fast forward, you know three, you
know he took a bullet to the year and and Butler.
They wanted him to get hurt. Like if anybody doesn't
think that they were wishing poorly on him, I mean,
(14:30):
just look at what happened to Charlie Kirk and look
at the aftermath of Charley Kirk. Where you know people are.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
They're out celebrating at Eric rating.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Listen. I will say this.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I guess what that which doesn't kill kill us make
so stronger. But it's a tribute to you, your dad,
your entire family. And I mean this with all sincerity. Uh,
if people I knew the personal side of it, it
was hard.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You did it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You deserve this book to be number one. But more importantly,
the nation needs to learn the lessons in this book.
Under Siege, My Family's fight to save our Nation. Hannity
dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores around the country.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Very proud of you.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I offered you a bet the day before the list
came out, and I said, I'll bet you my five
thousand of your five hundred that you'd beat number one.
You didn't take the bet, which is smart on your part.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Well, we got to number one, and honestly it's great
arrow and quiver, and honestly I did it more at
my own pride and for this country than I did
for for anything else. We had to beat these guys.
We've won this, Sean, and you were such a big
part of it, and I love you and I appreciate you.
You've been such a great friend to me and my
father and everybody in our family. And you were right.
You were right. You're the one that deserves the Polisher Prize.
So thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You know what, I'll tell you what gives me the
most satisfaction as the American people got it. It took time,
and your dad's back in office and he's going to
build a big, beautiful ballroom. Eric Trump, appreciate you as always.
Thanks so much for being with us, and congratulations.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Thanks Sean.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I have been enjoying the.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Fact that zero experience Hunter is bold enough and speaking out.
He went apoplectic over on Obama because Obama dared that
one day if you remember that a fundraiser, that's a
cloney fundraiser.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
And remember Joe was where am I? Where do I go?
What do I do? Where do I go? What do
I do? I mean, it was just lost on stage.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Obama seeing what's going on, I mean, did the right thing.
He walked over. Okay, Joey, you know we're gonna go
this way. I'll go with you. Come on, we'll go together,
just kind of bailing him out, to be honest, and
he needed to be bailed out, and Hunter had a
fit over that. Hunter also having a fit on George
Clooney's description. He says it's absolutely not true what he
(16:45):
wrote in The New York Times at the time, which
is that his father didn't recognize him. Hunter Biden now
is claiming that one hundred percent he did not think
the laptop his when the story broke. Remember the laptop
repair shop, John Paul mac Isaac, Remember this poor guy,
(17:09):
his business got ruined as a result of this very
real laptop was handed in, and as he's recovering the
materials on the laptop, he sees things that well, he
thinks that he needs to report to police. I don't
know if it was the guns that he saw, you know,
I don't know if it was the hookers that he saw.
I don't know if it was the drug use that
(17:30):
he saw, but he went to you know, no good
deed goes unpunished, right, But he went to the FBI
and told him about it. And Hunter says, one hundred
percent he didn't think the laptop was his when the
story broke. Well, I mean, he admits he was addicted
to crack at the time, and what's on the laptop
(17:51):
is so atrocious, never mind the implication of his father
and giving half his income to Pops and everything else
in between.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Here's what he said, when.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The laptop thing first broke, Did you really not think
it was yours?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Is what this person asked me to ask you.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Oh yeah, there's probably a cliff Stones version of this,
but like, you know.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
No, one hundred percent, I had no look number one
way what it broke. It was very very very doubled
of what the you know, what the thing was. There
was this laptop prepared shop owner, but he was you know,
illegally blind, and it said that I was in the shop,
but there's no mean, he has video cameras, but there's
no video cameras in me. And there's this that and
(18:33):
the other thing, and and all I know is this
is that even that person publicly says that the information
that was disseminated through Rudy Giuliani, through his his lawyer,
through you know, the Garrettsiglers of the world, and Steve
(18:54):
Bannon's and and Goo when whatever his name is is
an amalgamation, did not come from the source that he
says that it came from. So Number one, there's really
never a laptop.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
There was a hard drive, and that hard drive became
a just a a dumping ground for things that were hacked, stolen, fabricated, manipulated, real,
vast majority of you know, things that are real.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I remember dropping that laptop off.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
No, who are who would forget?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Who would who would have remember if you dropped the
laptop laptop off at a laptop repair shop? Nobody would
remember that, right, Linda, nobody. Have you dropped your laptop
off at a repair shop? You'd forget?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
That's normal?
Speaker 10 (19:45):
Yeah, No, I mean honestly, I guess if I was
doing the amount of crack that Hunter was doing, potentially,
I mean maybe then I would forget.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But he's just so full.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Let me tell you the story, and we've had John
Paul mac Isaac on the show. Let me read what
he said, my life I've changed forever. On April twelve,
twenty nineteen, when Hunter Biden stumbled into my shop requesting
data recovery from one of his liquid damaged laptops after
his father announced as candidacy for president of the United
States and Hunter failed to pay for and collect his computer,
(20:18):
fear for my safety grew. This was paperwork in Hunter's
possession giving me permission to examine and copy his data.
Someone was going to come looking for the laptop and
come looking for me. Concerned that I was sitting on
evidence in a criminal investigation, I set out to hand
everything over to the FBI, but, feeling betrayed by the
(20:38):
fbis in action in providing the laptop as evidence during
the impeachment trial, I then turned to Congress, and ultimately
to a lawyer for President Rudy Giuliani. He's talking about
Bob Costello. When the story broke, big tech and social
mainstream media blocked the reporting. I was instantly labeled as
a hacker and a criminal. My actions were labeled Russian disinformation,
(21:03):
and it didn't take long before people started attacking my
business my character, forcing me to close my shop and
flee the state where does he go to get his
life back. Unbelievable, Steve and Pennsylvania. Steve, how are you
glad you called Happy Friday Son?
Speaker 7 (21:21):
You're a great American. I live in the suburbs of Philly,
Montgomery County, and I was listening to your show the
other night when you had Senator of Fetterman on, and
I have to be honest with you when I admit.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
When I'm wrong.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
I had really low expectations for center of Fetterman. I
watched that whole primary. The Democrats were pushing him against
Connor Lamb. I would say to myself, you guys got
this wrong. Connor Lamb is much more Kenny esque. I
mean not that I'm a Democrat, but Fetnerman has really
really swayed a lot of my family, our friends.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
He's that interview with you.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
I mean what his country before party. I mean the message,
I mean bout and clear. I mean he's you know,
I don't like the fact he doesn't wear a suit
and they respect the office of Senate, But who cares.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I actually don't care how he dresses. Honestly, I don't care.
He wants to wear a hoodie, Let him wear a hoodie.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I got to.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Meet Fetterman at one point. I'm not going to give
all the details of it. We had a really really
friendly conversation and we followed it up with other conversations
private one, so I won't disclose the details of it.
And I was pretty hard, you know, going at him.
I wanted Oz to win, you know, Doug Mastriano I
think killed Oz's chance because he had no exceptions on
(22:38):
the abortion issue. He lost by the largest amount against
the non incumbent governor in the history of the Commonwelsons
on nineteen forties. And while he lost by twenty points,
OZ lost by three. And there's only so much ballot
you know, switching that people are going to do. And
I thought Oz. I was supporting Oz, and he knew
that he didn't care, and then it just led to
(23:00):
other conversation. He does not care. He's not thinking about
his next election. He's standing up for what he believes
is right. He stands up for secure borders, he's standing
up for opening up the government. He stood up for
the president when the President took out a RAN's nuclear site,
said it was a good thing we had.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
The world's a safer place.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
He applauded the president for what he did with everything
with the peace deal and releasing the hostages. He supports
Israel and he's not going to call Republicans fascist, racist Nazis, Hitler,
Stalin Mussolini. And I'm like, okay, where's the rest of
his party?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He's like the.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Only one Sean I live. I'm a local politician. I
was a local politician. I worked with Governor Shapiro when
he was a Montgomery County chairperson. And I'll tell you,
the Democrats have taken over my township. We were all
Republican board. The Democrats have moved to have the city
to the suburbs because the Republicans did such a good
(24:03):
job managing the budget and you know, great and low taxes,
great place to live. Now it's all it's all Democrats
in the suburbs. And I'm telling you, I you know,
a betterman has really you know, I can't vote for him,
but you know he's you know, he's making the Democrats
go crazy. They're they're going nuts.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Well, they want a primary him and punish him because
he's not going to be a radical extremist and you know,
he's just an old school Democrat. Years ago, I was
friends with Joe Lieberman. Joe Lieberman and I found ourselves
in full agreement against radical Islamic terrorism, the support of
Israel on many foreign policy issues, but we disagreed on
social issues. But we did it in a pleasant way.
(24:44):
He was off and on this program. I want to
hear a funny story about Lieberman. I'll tell you one.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
So he was the canary in the coal mine in
terms of the Democrats going radical, I mean, former vice
presidential candidate for their party. He gets primaried in Connecticut
and he loses. That was a shock, decides to run
in Connecticut as an independent. And what I just said
to you that Joe Lieberman is a really nice, decent
(25:13):
human being is true. He was a very nice, decent
human being. He would never support what's going on today
with his party, so he ran as an independent and
I said nice things about him on the air. One day,
he gives me a call. He goes, Sean, we've known
each other, We've had a friendly relationship all these years.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
He goes, you got to do me a favorite. I said, sure,
what is it?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Center? And he goes, you're killing me. What I'm killing you?
He goes every time you say something nice about me.
It is a it is a campaign ad against me.
And I go, oh, you want me to start trashing you.
I'll do whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
You know, I'll go down any road you on if
it's going to help you.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
I could see that.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Sean.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I say one more thing before I hang up. You
said what you said to Eric Trump in an interview,
is that in the twenty four election last year, you
know what, I am proud that the American people got
it right. I was holding my breast and I was like,
that election has put faith back in the American people
that they can figure out what they've built it for
(26:18):
the right person. I mean, I mean, you say it
all the time, and I had my doubt. I really did.
You know, I wanted Trump to win, but my faith
and American people were restored, and that it wasn't even close.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
It was a landslide.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It was I was, look, it was the fight political
fight of our lives because it was everything was on
the line. And I'm going to tell you this, and
you'll hear urgency in my voice beginning in January of
next year, after I take my long Christmas vacation, and
that urgency is going to be This is going to
(26:51):
be the single most important mid term in our lives,
and you better understand it because otherwise all progress will
stop and we'll be back to impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, Russia, Russia, Russia.
You know, the penis a penis subpoena. It's just the
weaponization will be on steroids and human growth hormone.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Stee.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Appreciate you, man, God bless you love the people in
the Commonwealth, in Pennsylvania, hardworking, great Americans. They make the
country great. All right, quick break right back to our
busy phones eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if
you want to be a part of the program this Friday.
As we continue while.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
A mainstream media is asleep at the wheel, Hannity watches
on the job and bringing you the news no one
else can.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Sean Hannity, all right, let's.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Get back to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine
four one. Shawn is our number. God Bless Texas. Keith
is next on the Sean Hannity Show, Happy Friday.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Keith, Well, I got a.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
Question as far as having the government shut down, because
I'm still paying taxes, so that means to me that
it is not shut down. But why do we have
to listen to anything that they have to say, vote
for or whatever for everything they shove down our throat
to Obamacare and everything else. What do I care what
(28:48):
they say about anything. I'm not voting for nothing with them,
So what do I care? Just open up the government
and start.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Rolling with it again.
Speaker 11 (28:56):
They're gonna compel no matter what.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Look, the rules are the rules. This might be an
of disagreement. Betterman's in favor of using the nuclear option
to open the government.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Democrats now are on record. We're about to hit a
deadline where all people on food stamps since the SNAP
program are going to lose their benefits. And if that happens,
that is on them. They are holding the country hostage
because they want one point five trillion dollars in new
(29:25):
spending to open the government for seven weeks, including moneies
for health care for illegals, you know, a continuation of
temporary benefits that we're only supposed to be there for
COVID that will bankrupt the country, and funding MPR and
PBS and other DEI initiatives worldwide. So you know, my
(29:46):
attitude is, let them, let them keep committing political suicide.
This is on them, It's not on Donald Trump. The
Republicans are all for a clean continuing resolution funding the
government a current level. They are They are demanding one
point five trillion. We can't afford it. We just can't
afford it.
An hour two Sean Hannity Show this Friday, eight hundred
(00:02):
and nine to four one.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Shawn is on number.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
If you want to be a part of the program,
let me take you back in time. The year is
twenty ten. This is fake news CNN reporting on Obama's
White House renovation.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh, very different view than today. Listen, that sounds like
they're building another wing to the White House.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
But we appreciate you keeping You can't even imagine to you today.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
It's gonna happen for the next two years. All of
the banging, the jackhammering, the dust, the confusion, the noise
of all places to do construction is happening right here
the front lawn the White House. It's a four year
renovation project, estimated cost three hundred and seventy six million dollars.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Oh, everybody's happy about it.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Nobody was melting down complaining over at ms DNC. Nicole
Wallace not only knows what happened to her. She used
to run John McCain and Sarah Palin's campaign. Now just
gone totally off the bunker's you know, conspiracy theory pedaling
line of MSDNC comparing Trump's White House ballroom to Russia.
(01:08):
They can't get over Russia, Russia, Russia, still obsessed.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
But it's also un American. What he plans to do, right, like,
what's going to go up in its place is not
anything that we're used to seeing. Here, here's a side
by side of Trump's rendition of a ballroom with the
Winter Palace ballroom in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Yeah, Russia, Russia, Russia.
I mean, autocrats have a similar aesthetic.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They like a lot of golds.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It is it is Trump derangement syndrome is a real syndrome. Anyway,
We're privileged and please to have back on the program
our friend Eric Trump.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And oh look at this, Look at this.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
We had him on about his new book Under Siege,
my Family's Fight to save our Nation, as I predicted,
debuting number one on the New York Times bestseller list.
You know, this caused a ton of odjita and indigestion
and just absolute pain inside the halls of the New
(02:06):
York Times to have to put Eric Trump but sid
top of the list. Congratulations, my friend, we did have
a side bet. We'll talk about that in a second.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Well, you know, Sean, I like everything else in life, Well,
it has to be too big to rega and we
won him to sing by by the biggest margin ever.
I mean, we sold hundreds of thousands of copies of books,
just one of theiest book releases of the year by
bar and you are amazing and thank you for having
me on. But obviously it's just this country as tis off,
this country's test and there pitched because of what you
just played a second ago. And by the way, I was,
I was laughing during your introduction. I'm not sure if
(02:34):
you you've caught the number in twenty ten. The ballroom
renovation are the White House renovation he did was three
hundred and forty six million dollars. This is fifteen years ago, Sean.
And yet you know, you know how much my father's
spending at least taxpayer dollars, he's spending zero. You know
why because he's saying for it himself, and he's funding
it with donations to build something that's beautiful. But think
(02:55):
about the fact that Barack Obama could do a minor
renovation of the White House fifteen years ago and spend
over three hundred and forty million dollars. Yet he's literally building,
you know, one hundred thousand square foot ballroom there. That's
gonna be the most beautiful thing you've ever seen any
cost taxpayer zero. That's the difference between Obama, and that's
the difference between DJ taps and that.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
One other thing is is nothing that Obama did in
terms of his renovation that was consequential or transformational. What
your dad is now setting up is a grand ballroom
for people that don't know. If we have heads of
state that come to our country, oftentimes they're either stuck
in a small room and the upstairs of the White House,
(03:37):
usually where they have the White House Christmas Party. I've
been there on occasion, and or they're putting a tent
up in the backyard, which is partly I think fitting
for the United States of America and a president of
our country. I can't you know, there's nothing consequential that
Obama built for that amount.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Of money, of course, of course, and again that's the difference
between Remember it's fifteen years ago. Money's probably free excess
then in terms of the value of it, so that's
probably nine hundred million dollars today, and he did nothing
that was consequentially. Get my father's spending zero and being
giving America an unbelievable president. I mean, isn't that amazing?
And you know, Sean, I haven't told this story publicly,
but you know I do most our construction. He sent
(04:17):
me the plans for it a couple of times. Kay,
what do you think? And Larry last night I sent
him a little message. You know, we should make sure
to put the hand points in the ballroom. This ballroom
is going to be the best anywhere in the world.
It is spectacular. The detail is second to none. Only
Donald Trump could pull this off. And I'm telling you
he's giving the American people such an unbelievable treatment.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean, it really is spectacular, but it is nothing.
And your dad addressed this during his session before a
joint session of Congress. Your dad literally said, you know,
there's nothing I can say that's going to make this
side of the aisle happy. If he can cure cancer,
they would find a way not to applaud when he
introduced the families of Lake and Riley and Joscelyn Nungary
(04:58):
and that young man that became a Secret Service agent
who had beat cancer up to that point that night
special special events, and I said at the time, and
I stand by this, If you can't stand for a
family that lost a loved one that was murdered in
the prime of their life, Lake and Riley out jogging,
(05:18):
or Joscelyn Nungary, a twelve year old girl brutally raped
and brutally murdered in Houston, Texas, twelve years old and
she fought back. If you can't have sympathy for this
young man and appreciate the fact that the President took
the time to make him a Secret Service agent to
honor him after all the tough battles as this young
(05:39):
man had been through. I said, this is a party
not only that has missed the plot, they have lost
their heart and their soul and their conscience. And that's
where we are with this Democratic Party. You know right now,
they don't care, they don't you know. I have one
congresswoman I played this week, you know, saying, oh, yeah,
we know people are going to suffer in the country,
but that this is our only leverage to keep the
(06:01):
government shut down.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
I'm like, wow, oh no, they're crazy, Sean. I mean
you see every single say, look at the drug posts, right,
so you've got these boats and just for contacts, they've
got tons of fentanyl on them, right, and in fentanyl
will kill you know, this will kill tens of thousands
of people. How dare you eliminate a boat that's running
toward US shores that fills with tons and tons of fentanyl?
How dare you, President Trump? I mean this is coming
(06:22):
from the Democrats. Yet you know, every single person in
this country is cheering as these boats go into a
thousand pieces because my father is keeping Americans from getting
killed every single day. You have to day look at
Pritzker or in Chicago. How dare you, President Trump, come
into our city where they have seventy shootings a weekend, right,
I mean you have death after death young. You know,
men and women getting killed on the streets of Chicago.
(06:42):
No one's doing a damn thing about it. My father
wants to fix their problem. And guess what, they go
out and they do press conferences about how dare you?
How dare you want to solve the problem for Chicago.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Don No, they keep calling your father a Nazi. That
idiot keeps calling your dad a Nazi. Four thousand people
dead since he became governor, over four thous and it
says a lot when you have five times the homicide
rate of New York City.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
That's saying something.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Yeah, and especially when we've already seen the story, we
know how this movie can end. And then it's called Washington, DC,
where it went from a massive crime to euro crime
after they arrested forty three hundred people. It took them
twelve days. They arrested forty three hundred people, hardened criminals
who were repeat offenders. And guess what, Our nation's capital
no longer has that crime in and my father wants
to go do the same thing for Chicago, and they
go absolutely crazy. The Democrats have nothing, they have no leadership,
(07:30):
they're not liked by the American people. Air pr ARM,
which was always the mainstream media in this country, the
mainstream media in this country is dead, so they no
longer had the air cover that they used to have
in twenty sixteen twenty seventeen, when I had to fight
them every single day over the rush hooks and the
dirty dossier's and the way they were coming after me
and where they were coming after our family. They have
(07:50):
nothing lost, DEI. They've lost their movement. No one wanted
men my size swimming in women's sports. They lost that one.
They lost the inflation battle off Bidenomics. They realized that
Kamala Harris was a total sham. This was not a
democratic process that put her in. They've lost everything, They've
lost all of their credibility. What he likes, the Democratic
(08:11):
you know, the party in this country. And so what
do they do. They fight my father on the most
spcacular ballroom, you know, and doing it out of it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I mean, that's how low they've gotten.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I want to go back to your book a second,
because and I urge everyone to get a copy of it.
And we have a link on Hannity dot com. There's
one on Amazon dot com. It's now in bookstores everywhere.
It's the number one book in the country. It's called
Under Siege. My Families Fight to save our nation. Now,
we stayed in touch throughout that period. I know the
(08:41):
pressure you are under on a daily basis, And it
started from the day your father came down that escalator
at Trump Tower. And it's not stopped, as you can
see with this ballroom so called controversy.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yeah, but people are laughing it off today versus before
they didn't. I mean, people really thought we were colluding
with Russia. They really thought we had cheek at servers
in the basement of Trump power. I mean, they really
thought that there was a dooshi a thinking my father
did unthinkable things, all that was obviously paid for by
Hillary Clinton. And then once we got past those people,
people starting you know, suspects. They started getting a little
skeptical of what they were hearing. And then it got
(09:15):
to the first impeachment, and then it got to Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh really pissed off a lot of people in this
country because they realized how how in that whole narrative was.
Then it got to the second impeachment. Now they had
really started losing people by this point, and then it
got to the ninety one they got them, and then
they got rating you know, mar A Lago, and then
they threw my father off of Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
It got to all of those, and now you really
(09:36):
started losing people because you're messing with somebody's First Amendment, right,
and you know, and and and then all of a sudden,
you had a country that felt like they were under siege.
And now in Colorado, my father got thrown off the palette.
Now all these Colorado residents felt that they were underseage.
Their voice no longer mattered. And then the same thing
happened in Maine. And then they started putting gag orders
under my father as he was trying to run a campaign,
so so the person that they might vote for could
(09:58):
no longer freely speak to the American public. And then
they tried killing my father the first time, and then
they tried killing him the second time. And then they
killed Charlie Kirk. And I can go on and on
for dates, I can go on and on for day.
And this is how the Democratic Party lost this entire country.
There is a certain point where you have the law
of unintended consequences. People didn't like what they were being
(10:18):
spoon fed. People stopped trusting the Democrats. They knew everything
that they were saying was a lie that they had
been lied to over and over and over. And Sean,
that was the siege, and that was the siege not
only against our family, but against all of us. I mean,
you know, the irs came after us, that leaked to
all of our tax returns. But they did the same
to you, and they did the same to conservative organizations
all across the country. And they targeted churches, and they
(10:41):
targeted you know, families, They targeted businesses that they didn't
agree with for whatever reason, they debanked all these people.
I became one of the most debanked people in American
history for doing absolutely nothing wrong. You know, America, it
wasn't just our family that was under siege. It was
this country that was under siege. It was spirituality that
was under siege. It was our family unit that was undersiege.
It was our children in their classrooms that were under siege.
(11:04):
It was our economy. We were all under siege in
the country. And when you asked why it went to
number one, I mean you deserved the Polisher Prize, Shawns.
You got the story right. New York Times got it wrong.
Maggie Haberman who got the Polisher Prize, she got it
wrong and isn't ironic. The years later, here I am
at the top of the New York Times bestseller list,
you know, for writing a book about how corruption on
(11:25):
icicle all these people were were the very institution that's
giving me the award was the very institution that was
getting it wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Back at the time, All right, quick break right back
more with Eric Trump, who is with us. His new
book just out Under a Siege. My Family's fight to
save our nation after one week, debuting number one on
the New York Times list. We'll continue with Eric Trump
on the other side than your calls, coming up eight
hundred and nine to four one, Shawn.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Exposing the Pelosi Party's chaos and corruptions all day, every day.
This is a shanity show.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I we continue.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Eric Trump is with us. His new book is out.
It's been out a week. It's on Hannity dot com,
Amazon dot com, bookstores around the country, debuting number one
on the New York Times bestseller list. Under Siege, My
Family's fight to save our nation. And we continue with Eric.
You know, I don't say this because we're friends. I
say this because this shouldn't happen in the United States.
(12:52):
And the magnitude of pressure and sacrifice and frankly persecution
that your family went through. I don't even I don't
feel comfortable talking about the little stuff they did to me,
and by the way, it wasn't pleasant. I'm not going
to lie, but it's nothing compared to what they did
to your father and to you and your sisters and
(13:13):
your your brothers, and how they wanted to destroy all
of you and send you to jail. I got phone
calls saying, I'm hearing that the arrest of Don Junior
and Eric might be imminent.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Well, we had never gone a traffic kick in our life.
You know, we didn't have a laptop from hell. You know,
there's no there's no drugs, there was no you know, prostitution,
there's no illicit pictures, there's no lies. You know, there's
certainly no intelligence agencies coming out and saying that, you know,
the la Are laptops were Russian disinformation. There was no
cover up. You know, we're honest people. We're honest people
(13:48):
who fought like hell on that store on the other
side to save a nation that was massively in the climb,
you know that, to save a nation that was massively corrupt,
and you had a side that lost the narratives, they
lost the people, and their only tool that they had
left was to inflict you know, emotional harm, reputational harm,
financial harm, and then ultimately physical harm. Sean, And make
(14:08):
no mistake about it. I mean you you had senators
out there, and you remember that you covered You were
probably the only one that was covering this at the
time who was saying that my father should lose Secret
Service protection because he didn't deserve to be protected. And
sure enough, you know, fast forward, you know three, you
know he took a bullet to the year and and Butler.
They wanted him to get hurt. Like if anybody doesn't
think that they were wishing poorly on him, I mean,
(14:30):
just look at what happened to Charlie Kirk and look
at the aftermath of Charley Kirk. Where you know people are.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
They're out celebrating at Eric rating.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Listen. I will say this.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I guess what that which doesn't kill kill us make
so stronger. But it's a tribute to you, your dad,
your entire family. And I mean this with all sincerity. Uh,
if people I knew the personal side of it, it
was hard.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You did it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You deserve this book to be number one. But more importantly,
the nation needs to learn the lessons in this book.
Under Siege, My Family's fight to save our Nation. Hannity
dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores around the country.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Very proud of you.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I offered you a bet the day before the list
came out, and I said, I'll bet you my five
thousand of your five hundred that you'd beat number one.
You didn't take the bet, which is smart on your part.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Well, we got to number one, and honestly it's great
arrow and quiver, and honestly I did it more at
my own pride and for this country than I did
for for anything else. We had to beat these guys.
We've won this, Sean, and you were such a big
part of it, and I love you and I appreciate you.
You've been such a great friend to me and my
father and everybody in our family. And you were right.
You were right. You're the one that deserves the Polisher Prize.
So thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You know what, I'll tell you what gives me the
most satisfaction as the American people got it. It took time,
and your dad's back in office and he's going to
build a big, beautiful ballroom. Eric Trump, appreciate you as always.
Thanks so much for being with us, and congratulations.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Thanks Sean.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I have been enjoying the.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Fact that zero experience Hunter is bold enough and speaking out.
He went apoplectic over on Obama because Obama dared that
one day if you remember that a fundraiser, that's a
cloney fundraiser.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
And remember Joe was where am I? Where do I go?
What do I do? Where do I go? What do
I do? I mean, it was just lost on stage.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Obama seeing what's going on, I mean, did the right thing.
He walked over. Okay, Joey, you know we're gonna go
this way. I'll go with you. Come on, we'll go together,
just kind of bailing him out, to be honest, and
he needed to be bailed out, and Hunter had a
fit over that. Hunter also having a fit on George
Clooney's description. He says it's absolutely not true what he
(16:45):
wrote in The New York Times at the time, which
is that his father didn't recognize him. Hunter Biden now
is claiming that one hundred percent he did not think
the laptop his when the story broke. Remember the laptop
repair shop, John Paul mac Isaac, Remember this poor guy,
(17:09):
his business got ruined as a result of this very
real laptop was handed in, and as he's recovering the
materials on the laptop, he sees things that well, he
thinks that he needs to report to police. I don't
know if it was the guns that he saw, you know,
I don't know if it was the hookers that he saw.
I don't know if it was the drug use that
(17:30):
he saw, but he went to you know, no good
deed goes unpunished, right, But he went to the FBI
and told him about it. And Hunter says, one hundred
percent he didn't think the laptop was his when the
story broke. Well, I mean, he admits he was addicted
to crack at the time, and what's on the laptop
(17:51):
is so atrocious, never mind the implication of his father
and giving half his income to Pops and everything else
in between.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Here's what he said, when.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The laptop thing first broke, Did you really not think
it was yours?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Is what this person asked me to ask you.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Oh yeah, there's probably a cliff Stones version of this,
but like, you know.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
No, one hundred percent, I had no look number one
way what it broke. It was very very very doubled
of what the you know, what the thing was. There
was this laptop prepared shop owner, but he was you know,
illegally blind, and it said that I was in the shop,
but there's no mean, he has video cameras, but there's
no video cameras in me. And there's this that and
(18:33):
the other thing, and and all I know is this
is that even that person publicly says that the information
that was disseminated through Rudy Giuliani, through his his lawyer,
through you know, the Garrettsiglers of the world, and Steve
(18:54):
Bannon's and and Goo when whatever his name is is
an amalgamation, did not come from the source that he
says that it came from. So Number one, there's really
never a laptop.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
There was a hard drive, and that hard drive became
a just a a dumping ground for things that were hacked, stolen, fabricated, manipulated, real,
vast majority of you know, things that are real.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I remember dropping that laptop off.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
No, who are who would forget?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Who would who would have remember if you dropped the
laptop laptop off at a laptop repair shop? Nobody would
remember that, right, Linda, nobody. Have you dropped your laptop
off at a repair shop? You'd forget?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
That's normal?
Speaker 10 (19:45):
Yeah, No, I mean honestly, I guess if I was
doing the amount of crack that Hunter was doing, potentially,
I mean maybe then I would forget.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But he's just so full.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Let me tell you the story, and we've had John
Paul mac Isaac on the show. Let me read what
he said, my life I've changed forever. On April twelve,
twenty nineteen, when Hunter Biden stumbled into my shop requesting
data recovery from one of his liquid damaged laptops after
his father announced as candidacy for president of the United
States and Hunter failed to pay for and collect his computer,
(20:18):
fear for my safety grew. This was paperwork in Hunter's
possession giving me permission to examine and copy his data.
Someone was going to come looking for the laptop and
come looking for me. Concerned that I was sitting on
evidence in a criminal investigation, I set out to hand
everything over to the FBI, but, feeling betrayed by the
(20:38):
fbis in action in providing the laptop as evidence during
the impeachment trial, I then turned to Congress, and ultimately
to a lawyer for President Rudy Giuliani. He's talking about
Bob Costello. When the story broke, big tech and social
mainstream media blocked the reporting. I was instantly labeled as
a hacker and a criminal. My actions were labeled Russian disinformation,
(21:03):
and it didn't take long before people started attacking my
business my character, forcing me to close my shop and
flee the state where does he go to get his
life back. Unbelievable, Steve and Pennsylvania. Steve, how are you
glad you called Happy Friday Son?
Speaker 7 (21:21):
You're a great American. I live in the suburbs of Philly,
Montgomery County, and I was listening to your show the
other night when you had Senator of Fetterman on, and
I have to be honest with you when I admit.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
When I'm wrong.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
I had really low expectations for center of Fetterman. I
watched that whole primary. The Democrats were pushing him against
Connor Lamb. I would say to myself, you guys got
this wrong. Connor Lamb is much more Kenny esque. I
mean not that I'm a Democrat, but Fetnerman has really
really swayed a lot of my family, our friends.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
He's that interview with you.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
I mean what his country before party. I mean the message,
I mean bout and clear. I mean he's you know,
I don't like the fact he doesn't wear a suit
and they respect the office of Senate, But who cares.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I actually don't care how he dresses. Honestly, I don't care.
He wants to wear a hoodie, Let him wear a hoodie.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I got to.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Meet Fetterman at one point. I'm not going to give
all the details of it. We had a really really
friendly conversation and we followed it up with other conversations
private one, so I won't disclose the details of it.
And I was pretty hard, you know, going at him.
I wanted Oz to win, you know, Doug Mastriano I
think killed Oz's chance because he had no exceptions on
(22:38):
the abortion issue. He lost by the largest amount against
the non incumbent governor in the history of the Commonwelsons
on nineteen forties. And while he lost by twenty points,
OZ lost by three. And there's only so much ballot
you know, switching that people are going to do. And
I thought Oz. I was supporting Oz, and he knew
that he didn't care, and then it just led to
(23:00):
other conversation. He does not care. He's not thinking about
his next election. He's standing up for what he believes
is right. He stands up for secure borders, he's standing
up for opening up the government. He stood up for
the president when the President took out a RAN's nuclear site,
said it was a good thing we had.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
The world's a safer place.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
He applauded the president for what he did with everything
with the peace deal and releasing the hostages. He supports
Israel and he's not going to call Republicans fascist, racist Nazis, Hitler,
Stalin Mussolini. And I'm like, okay, where's the rest of
his party?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He's like the.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Only one Sean I live. I'm a local politician. I
was a local politician. I worked with Governor Shapiro when
he was a Montgomery County chairperson. And I'll tell you,
the Democrats have taken over my township. We were all
Republican board. The Democrats have moved to have the city
to the suburbs because the Republicans did such a good
(24:03):
job managing the budget and you know, great and low taxes,
great place to live. Now it's all it's all Democrats
in the suburbs. And I'm telling you, I you know,
a betterman has really you know, I can't vote for him,
but you know he's you know, he's making the Democrats
go crazy. They're they're going nuts.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Well, they want a primary him and punish him because
he's not going to be a radical extremist and you know,
he's just an old school Democrat. Years ago, I was
friends with Joe Lieberman. Joe Lieberman and I found ourselves
in full agreement against radical Islamic terrorism, the support of
Israel on many foreign policy issues, but we disagreed on
social issues. But we did it in a pleasant way.
(24:44):
He was off and on this program. I want to
hear a funny story about Lieberman. I'll tell you one.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
So he was the canary in the coal mine in
terms of the Democrats going radical, I mean, former vice
presidential candidate for their party. He gets primaried in Connecticut
and he loses. That was a shock, decides to run
in Connecticut as an independent. And what I just said
to you that Joe Lieberman is a really nice, decent
(25:13):
human being is true. He was a very nice, decent
human being. He would never support what's going on today
with his party, so he ran as an independent and
I said nice things about him on the air. One day,
he gives me a call. He goes, Sean, we've known
each other, We've had a friendly relationship all these years.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
He goes, you got to do me a favorite. I said, sure,
what is it?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Center? And he goes, you're killing me. What I'm killing you?
He goes every time you say something nice about me.
It is a it is a campaign ad against me.
And I go, oh, you want me to start trashing you.
I'll do whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
You know, I'll go down any road you on if
it's going to help you.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
I could see that.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Sean.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I say one more thing before I hang up. You
said what you said to Eric Trump in an interview,
is that in the twenty four election last year, you
know what, I am proud that the American people got
it right. I was holding my breast and I was like,
that election has put faith back in the American people
that they can figure out what they've built it for
(26:18):
the right person. I mean, I mean, you say it
all the time, and I had my doubt. I really did.
You know, I wanted Trump to win, but my faith
and American people were restored, and that it wasn't even close.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
It was a landslide.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
It was I was, look, it was the fight political
fight of our lives because it was everything was on
the line. And I'm going to tell you this, and
you'll hear urgency in my voice beginning in January of
next year, after I take my long Christmas vacation, and
that urgency is going to be This is going to
(26:51):
be the single most important mid term in our lives,
and you better understand it because otherwise all progress will
stop and we'll be back to impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, Russia, Russia, Russia.
You know, the penis a penis subpoena. It's just the
weaponization will be on steroids and human growth hormone.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Stee.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Appreciate you, man, God bless you love the people in
the Commonwealth, in Pennsylvania, hardworking, great Americans. They make the
country great. All right, quick break right back to our
busy phones eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if
you want to be a part of the program this Friday.
As we continue while.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
A mainstream media is asleep at the wheel, Hannity watches
on the job and bringing you the news no one
else can.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Sean Hannity, all right, let's.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Get back to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine
four one. Shawn is our number. God Bless Texas. Keith
is next on the Sean Hannity Show, Happy Friday.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Keith, Well, I got a.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
Question as far as having the government shut down, because
I'm still paying taxes, so that means to me that
it is not shut down. But why do we have
to listen to anything that they have to say, vote
for or whatever for everything they shove down our throat
to Obamacare and everything else. What do I care what
(28:48):
they say about anything. I'm not voting for nothing with them,
So what do I care? Just open up the government
and start.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Rolling with it again.
Speaker 11 (28:56):
They're gonna compel no matter what.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Look, the rules are the rules. This might be an
of disagreement. Betterman's in favor of using the nuclear option
to open the government.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Democrats now are on record. We're about to hit a
deadline where all people on food stamps since the SNAP
program are going to lose their benefits. And if that happens,
that is on them. They are holding the country hostage
because they want one point five trillion dollars in new
(29:25):
spending to open the government for seven weeks, including moneies
for health care for illegals, you know, a continuation of
temporary benefits that we're only supposed to be there for
COVID that will bankrupt the country, and funding MPR and
PBS and other DEI initiatives worldwide. So you know, my
(29:46):
attitude is, let them, let them keep committing political suicide.
This is on them, It's not on Donald Trump. The
Republicans are all for a clean continuing resolution funding the
government a current level. They are They are demanding one
point five trillion. We can't afford it. We just can't
afford it.
