Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we're talking about hashtag, hash tag shave your
head or his hashtag shaved head. And this is women
empowering themselves in light of Donald Trump's election. Now, they
were lied to. They were told that IVF treatments will
go away, he will ban them. That was a lie.
(00:22):
They were lied to. He's going to support a national
abortion bed. That is not true either. They were lied to.
He's going to limit access to contraception. Another big lie.
He's going to take away grandma and Grandpa's social security lie.
He supports Project twenty twenty five. Lie. He's a Nazi, racist, fascist, slind, hitler,
(00:43):
Nazi whatever, We're all garbage, a lie. And now Americans,
some of them are saying, well, well, I'm getting out
of here. We're responding, we're looking to move abroad. My
attitude is, if you want to leave and you don't
want to be here, you know, don't let the door
hit in the ass on the way out. That's up
to you. I believe in freedom. You can do whatever
you want, you know. The San Francisco Chronicle publishing advice
(01:06):
for liberals on how they they should move to Canada.
I'm sure that's going to really help their their their
subscriptions on that newspaper.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Then, of course we have this story that we've been
covering all day, which I find quite entertaining, how liberal
women are going on a sex strike because Donald Trump
has won. Then we have snowflakes on college campuses and
their professors they are in need of a day off
because of the trauma that Donald Trump won a free
(01:37):
and fair election. The Guardian offering therapy to staff members.
I mean, you can't make it up. Then then the
Guardian of an article how Americans are stockpiling abortion pills
and hormones ahead of the reproductive apocalypse that is coming
(01:57):
under Donald Trump. Million of liberal women in America shaving
their heads. Okay, if you want to go full on
Britney spears, I believe in freedom and all of these
lies that you were told. What you kind of learn
at some point very shortly is that you were completely
(02:18):
lied to. This was all just nothing but lies, smears, slander,
was outright besmirchmant I mean, just frankly, it was madness. Anyway,
let me play some of this for you over at
that hard hitting the news show, the view, the host
there clashing over who is to blame over Donald Trump
(02:40):
winning because they did everything in their power, with their
little tiny audience that might remain, you know, to do
everything in their power to help elect Kamala Listen.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Speaks to its voters. It really is a message of
joy and inclusiveness. Know, the message of being educated, being.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Dumb, and what's wrong with America?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
He said that funny just did. What is wrong with
America is no, no.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
My point is, I don't blame Joe Biden. I don't
believe Kamala Harris. Go back as far as you want.
When they were focused on renaming schools, there were people saying, hey,
students are destroying colleges.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I paid for that. I sent them there.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
They can't learn, and everyone apologized for it and didn't
want to attend to it. They also denied the border
was a crisis and kept saying no, no, no, it's fine.
This is not a There was a motor bill though that.
My point is they screamed and screamed and screened. They
didn't vote for him because he's a racist or a misogynist.
They voted because they needed help in their everyday lives.
(03:38):
They made because there's an e stat coming out on
the people willing to self reflect are showing these.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
They're gonna say, I'm a racist and a misogynists.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
In the end, every racist and misogynist voted for Donald Trump.
Not everyone that voted for Donald Trump was a racist.
Missogys agree with everyone swept. They slept every category, and
the reason they did is to say, hey, guys, no excuses.
This time they lost everything. Environment to be ravaged, it's
(04:08):
children to be shot, it's well to be hearted, it's
worker to be exploited, it's poor.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
To starve, is cops to murder?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Is the country prop in trouble?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Going to make it?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Hold it?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Linda, Can you get me a bottle of migrain, etc.
Please and have it sent over as soon as possible,
maybe instacart?
Speaker 5 (04:27):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Absolutely extra large? Yeah, extra large now. Megan McCain, who
will join us in a minute, responded to a lot
of this, and she was talking about friends freaking out
at the prospect of a Trump victory. This was before
the election.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Listen in glad to have you here, thoughts on anything
you want to share.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
My liberal friends are freaking out. Whatever that's worth. I
don't think the twenty five percent male vote in Georgia
is helping anyone, and even the I don't have the
numbers right directly in front of me, but the independent
swing from Biden to Trump and Georgia is not a
great signal for anyone who is, you know, hoping that
she will win. I think there's gonna be a lot
(05:11):
of dissecting to do. I just keep thinking of Bridgid
B two C, who you had on yesterday, who is
a friend of mine, who is a woman who is
very anti Trump for a very long time and ended
up voting for him because in no small part the
culture war issues. And I really hope that if he
does win, there's some real soul searching on the side
of Democrats, just about the damage a lot of this
(05:33):
has done to so many women and so many moms
I know.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Anyway, Megan McCain joins us now. She is the host
of our own podcast, Citizen McCain. Great to have you back, Megan.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
How are you, hi, San?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I'm very happy to be here, But I listening to
clips of the view like gives me PTSD. I like
can't even listen to it because it's just so awful.
So thank you for having me out.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, I gotta imagine, because I know you really well,
and I've known you for a long time and we've
always had a great relationship, and i've known Elizabeth hassledback
for a long time. How either one of you survived that.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I have no.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Idea talk about PTSD. If you didn't have it, I
would say, you're the most mentally tough human being on earth.
What was it like when you were there? Because that
show is disintegrated. If the show's going to get canceled,
by the way, it's not going to be by Donald Trump.
It's going to be canceled because nobody's watching. Just like
these late night comedy shows, if they're going to be canceled,
(06:35):
it's because nobody watches anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh, I completely agree, and thank you again. I've always
been such a wonderful friend to me and I know
to Elizabeth too, for so long. And look, I can
remember a time when you used to go on the show,
not that long ago. And it's really I think tragic
that a show that was built on trying to showcase
women's views in the country, and not just political views,
but age views. It's a very old show now. I
(07:00):
think the youngest host is forty eight and the oldest
is eighty three. I think the fact that is a
show that is no reflection of the American public or
American women as a tragedy. But I think more importantly,
I was talking to a friend of mine today who
worked in the past Trump administration and will most likely
work in this new Trump administration, and we were saying
that we just don't know how ABC News can have
(07:22):
this anymore, just from a strict like news ethical mandate.
How do you have a relationship with the new Trump
White House when there are people of sensibly viewing propaganda
just against Trump, against conservatives and conservative women in general.
I don't know what happens that. I do know for
a fact that ratings have completely deteriorated, not just since
I've been on, but just in general as the tolerance
(07:44):
of America has changed. And it's really disappointing. You're talking
about these women shaving their heads and going on sex
strikes or whatever. And I think part of the problem
is they've been lied to so intensely by so many
people in the media that it didn't even occur to
them that Trump could win. I was not surprised by
President Trump Flynn because I don't consume that kind of media,
and I think you should feel bad for women like
(08:05):
that who've been gaslits so egregiously and honestly. The View
is patient zero.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
In this all right, quick break, we'll come right back
more with Megan mcain on the other side. Then we'll
get to your phone calls coming up on this Friday,
eight hundred nine four one Sean, if you want to
be a part of the program. All right, we continue
now with Megan McCain as we analyze the View and
their dramatic meltdown all week. You know, I went through
this last night in a pretty extensive monologue at the
(08:31):
beginning of my show last night before I had steven A.
Smith on, and steven A. Smith was voting for Kamala Harris.
He's a very dear friend, close friend of mine, and
he had been on the View earlier in the morning
and he basically laid out for them what happened, but
not that they could hear it. And here's what's deep
and profound to me as I look at this. I
(08:54):
said on the air in two thousand and seven that
journalism is dead in America, and here in twenty twenty four,
I can officially declare that legacy media is dead. All
of these late night talk show hosts, the ones that
are supposed to be funny and that are no longer funny,
and nobody really watches them anymore. And all the charges
(09:16):
they've made a Russian agent, illegitimate president, all the propaganda
disinformation three years you know, hookers, golden Showers, I mean
a Nazi, racist, white supremacist, fake impeachments. And I'm not
saying the guy's perfect. You know, everybody has their faults, right,
We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
(09:38):
And that means Donald Trump too. They never once talked
about anything he did successfully. They never vetted Kamala Harris either.
And the American people see this, and they saw with
their own eyes the borders were open. They feel it
in their own pockets and their wallets and their pocketbooks
every time they go shopping, they feel it every time
they fill up their car. They see the world as
(10:01):
burning in Europe and in the Middle East, and they
can't figure it out. And I don't think anybody will
ever trust them anymore. It's trust and media is now
at the lowest point ever, am I wrong in saying
legacy media is now dead, especially when we have podcast,
social media, talk radio, Fox News and other options.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
No, I mean not at all. And honestly, I'm very
excited about this, and I'm very happy. Excuse me as
someone who left legacy media on my own fruition because
I saw what was coming and as I tweeted, I
was in a radical progressive, insane asylum. It is not
fair to the American public that these people are getting
paid the kind of paychecks they are given the platforms
(10:42):
they are and all they do their entire job all
day is just to desecrate Republicans and conservatives and people
with all American values all day long. And the American
public has said, we're not listening to it, we're not
watching it, and we're also not voting for your candidate.
And as a result, you see President Trump. I mean,
I think he was in no small part elected because
he went on all of these podcasts and all of
these alternative media places. I mean, he went on like
(11:05):
very deep, interesting podcasts like Leo Vaughn, not just Joe Rogan,
you know, Shane Gillis, like people that men in America
in particular really listen to and really pay attention to.
And I think he was smart enough to understand that.
And quite frankly, Vice President Harris was I think one
of the big, you know, huge errors in her candidacy
(11:26):
was not doing that kind of media and not taking
Joe Rogan up on his offer to come on his show.
But part of the reasons she did that is because
she's incapable of doing an interview that wasn't scripted within
the edge of his life. And you know, we see
where it all landed. But I for when, I'm very
happy legacy media is dying. I'm happy it's over. These
people do not deserve to have the platforms and the
paychecks that they do. And it's also exciting for me
(11:48):
that maybe we can calm some of these women down
in the country about what a Trump presidency is actually
going to look like. I've had my personal issues with
President Trump, as you know better than anybody, But I'm
working right now. I'm writing an article, baking a list
of all the things I'm excited about in the pro
presidency because policy wise, America is going to become a
much better, safer, more prosperous place, and for anyone, especially
(12:11):
a mother of young children like me. We should really
be an exciting moment for women. And I wish that
people weren't gas lit to the degree that they are
given because of shows like The View and MSNBC and
so on. But I think this is actually an opportunity
for women to maybe become enlightened. The forty six percent
or whatever that they didn't end up voting for.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Him, there's stockpiling abortion pills. I mean, you just mentioned
you're a mom. I have kids. The idea that in
California and Minnesota, right where these two candidates are from
on the Democratic side, that they have the ability to
offer two minors gender affirming care, I mean a lot
(12:53):
of that care can be permanent and can cause permanent damage,
and without any parental consent. Does that not infuriate you
that they just totally dismiss any parental rights.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I think that when we look back on this era
in American history, it will be looked back upon with
repulsion and horror. I think that issue in particular, not
just you know, quote gender affirming care, but also the
trans people in sports competing against our young girls. I
met a girl two weeks ago at an event I
did with Riley Gaines and Pelsea Gabbard who had literally
(13:27):
a brain bleed because a trans athlete hit her in
the head so hard with a volleyball that she was hospitalized.
We're talking about putting women and girls in extreme physical
danger and someone could actually end up dying over this.
So yes, I think it is one of the reasons
that the left has gone just so extreme and so
out of again, just like where mainstream normal Americans are,
(13:47):
and they don't understand when you're talking about dealing with
meyer children and you said can do permanent damage. I
really implore anyone to google it. I don't think it's
appropriate to stay on the radio, but just the kind
of long term damage it can do, starting with the
fact that women wouldn't be able to have their children,
which by the way, isn't a decision anyone is capable
of making when they're thirteen years old. I think it's sick.
I think it's horrifying, and for me, it's one of
(14:08):
the things I am most excited about as a Trump
presidency because I really do think this type of is
going to stop immediately.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It really scares me. Anyway, Megan, we appreciate it. If
you want to hear Meghan's podcast, it is. I assume
it's everywhere where you get a podcast. It's called Citizen McCain.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Meghan.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
As always, we appreciate you being on the program. You've
got to be one of the more mentally tough people
I've ever met, considering you dealt with that hard hating
news show the View for as long as you did,
But probably the best thing you did for your mental
health in your entire life is saying goodbye. We do
appreciate you being with us and sharing your views and
(14:47):
actually having the time to express them, which I felt
you never got or Elizabeth never got when they were
on there.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Thank you anyway much, Sehn, Thank you, you.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Bet, thank you. Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawns number.
If you want to be a the program, get your
(15:35):
dose of independence and liberty every weekday right here on
the Sean Hannity Show, Hi twenty five, not to the
top of the hour, told free. Our number is eight
hundred and ninety four one, Sean. If you want to
be a part of the program, what if that God
forbid moment comes and somebody breaks into your home wants
to kill you or bring harm to you and your family,
(15:58):
or your business and your employees. What are you going
to do? Well, that's what the USCCA exists for. In
your mind, you probably have a plan in your mind.
You know you will be successful, and God forbid that
moment comes. Then it happens, And it doesn't matter if
you're an ex Navy seal, longtime gun owner, new to firearms.
If that scenario and I pray it never happens, does happen. Understand,
(16:23):
there are people that end up The people defending themselves
are the ones that end up getting arrested. We've seen
this happen time and time again, especially people working in stores, etc.
And the criminals they'll walk free. Now, this is why
the USCCA exists. As a member, you get world class training,
self defense, liability insurance, and you will not face whatever
(16:45):
they throw at you alone. They will be with you
every step of the way. That's why there's over eight
hundred thousand American gun owners like myself and I've been
a member of the us CCA for nine years that
trust the us CCA, and they want to give every
one of you listening to my voice right now, instant
free access to a life saving resource. It's called the

how this membership can safeguard you and your family if
that God forbid moment ever comes in your life, just
text my last name, Hannity h A, N n it
(17:30):
t Y to the number eight seven two two two today. Uh.
You know, so last night my buddy Steve and a
Smith and we're friends and we have a lot of
political disagreements, and I told him. He said it to
me at one point he said, Kamal has got this.
Kamala's gonna win. I said, you're wrong, She's not going
(17:50):
to win, and he looked at me. Nobody else seemed
had said that to him at that time. I said,
And we have this kind of inside joke between us.
It's like I say, Stephen Stephen A Stanie Lane, you
stay with sports, let me handle the politics part of it.
And when I talk sports with him, he tells me
to stay in My language is politics and let him
handle the sports that he's really good at it. I
(18:12):
think there is no ESPN without Steve and I Smith
in my own humble opinion, and he's just a good person,
and we're really good friends, and we have really good discussions,
and it's no holds barred, it's straightforward. If I'm on
his podcast, I usually tend to dominate. When he's on
my show, I kind of give him the microphone and
let him go. And it was no really, no different
(18:35):
last night. And unlike so many on the left, he
was gracious, and he was gracious to me even before
coming on the show last night. Anyway, we're gonna play
that for you and then we'll come up on the
other side and we'll get to some of your calls.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Eight hundred and nine to four one. Shawn, ESPN host
is a rock star.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
There is no as far as I'm concerned, there is
no ESPN without my friend Steve Smith.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I watched you on the View today. How are you doing?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
All right? How you doing, Sewan?
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Congratulations on the election, the results, you called it, you
said it was going to happen.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I can't refute it.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I can't refuse the fact that the president of the
United States, the president elect, is well deserving of it.
It was a Romp. It was an annihilation. I know
a lot of people are trying to you know, labor
the like. You know what, he won a little bit
in a lot of different places. I don't want to
hear that he won. And he won an absolutely convincing fashion,
so much so that I think that in light of
(19:33):
those results, we have to look at this election as
a referendum on a Democratic party in America, saying we're
not feeling where you are, We're not feeling where you
tried to go. We want no part of it. We're
not having it. And they made their choice and we
all have to accept it.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And you were very gracious by the way. Privately we
have our own conversations and you said that to.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Me, and I'll live with it.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
And I've had elections that I really want at my
side to win that they lost.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And you know what, Steve and A.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I go on and I plow through and I do
my job. There's not gonna be retribution. None of the
hosts of the View are going to be taken on.
I used to go on that show. They wouldn't even allow,
they wouldn't accept a conversation with me. At this point,
isn't that pretty pathetic, beause I used to like what
big Goldberg joy list behar.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Yeah, I would ask that you don't look at the show.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
What you look at.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
What you should look at is the ideological tilt that
has taken place in our country. Got We've gotten to
a point where, God forbid, somebody has a difference of
opinion and a different form of ideology than your damn
near the Antichrist. And that's not what makes this country great.
I mean, the reality is is that you know what,
we could sit up there and we could say what
(20:51):
we want, and everybody has did different opinions about Donald Trump.
You know how I felt. You knew why I didn't
vote for him. I don't like the way he behaves.
I think the presidency is a statesmanship position, and I
think that that I think that level of hubrist that
he's accustomed to showing needs to be dialed back significantly.
But having said that, the bottom line is simple. You
can look at a lot of things on the right
(21:11):
order left. He talked about the economy. Okay, he inherits,
you know, Biden inherited what was it like one and
a half percent in terms of inflation. It belonged to
over nine point one percent before it got dialed down
a little bit. We looked at open borders. Barack Obama
was once considered the deporter in chief because he actually
deported more folks than Donald Trump. But Biden comes into
(21:32):
office and the first thing he does day one executive order,
he opens the borders, and obviously that created.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
So much tension.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
And then you look at the culture wars, the identity politics,
you know, some of the transgender issues that people were
bringing up in terms of individuals transferring and transitioning from
male to female and wanting to participate in female sports
and stuff like that, or sharing the same bathroom as
females and all of.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
This other stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
America said, Hey, we're not down for that. We're not
going for it, no matter what you try to throw
in our direction.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
That's not what we're concerned about.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
We're primarily concerned about the economy, primarily concerned about our
borders and about being safe.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
And they voted that way to send that message.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
And all we've heard over the last couple of days
is folks going absolutely that crazy because the candidate that
they preferred to win didn't win. And I just want
to take a moment to remind everybody this is America.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Guess what. Sometimes you don't get what you want.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
But we are known for having intestinal resolve and making
sure we're able to march forward and work with whoever candidate,
whichever candidate ends up being in office and winning, and
find a way to work with one another and reach
some degree of compromise so we have civility in this
country instead of chaos. It's going to be up to
Donald Trump to contribute to that, no doubt. But the
(22:50):
way I've seen some of the Democrats reacting since Kamala
Harris lost, to be quite honest with you.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Is utterly ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
I'm not going to get into any names, but it's
been utterly ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know one thing, when I'm on your show, I
do all the talking. When you're on my show, I
let you do all the talking. We kind of have
a we kind of have this unspoken agreement because I
always together when we have conversations, they're they're really thoughtful conversations,
they're real.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
We keep it real.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You know, you always tell me to stay at my
lane politics. I tell you to stay in your lane sports.
But you're you're making a lot of sense tonight, and
they would be wise to listen to you and more importantly,
the spirit in what you're telling it.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
And I give you a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You know, here's where I see it, And tell me
what you agree or agree with. They could not run
on one thing that they could point to where we
were better off than we wore four years ago, one
major thing that improved the lives of the American people.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
The campaign ended.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
With You're a racist, You're a Nazi, You're a fascist,
a misogynist. Even Barack Obama and Stacy Abrams calling African
American men misogynists and sex Stacy Abrams says they're racist,
and a lot of what they said was just flat
out lies. Kabala told us for three years the border
(24:09):
was secure.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
It was not. Everybody knew it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
She said for three years that inflation was transitory and
denied that we had an inflation problem. She also lied
during the campaign. Her final argument, she told American women
she told them that Donald Trump's going to sign a
national abortion ban.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
That was a lie.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
She said Donald Trump will limit your access to contraception,
that was a lie. She said that he would ban IVF,
that was a lie. She tried to scare seniors and
say that he's going to take away Social Security and Medicare.
He promised he would not do it. Benefits went up
in his first term when he was president. So analyze
that strategy. You can't run on what you did or
(24:50):
what you succeeded at. So you're going to go to
the lowest level, tell lies and call people Nazis and fascists.
Not a good strategy, Steve and I not nice either.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Well I'm not. I'm not going to deny that. It's
not the greatest strategy. I don't know if you're entirely
completely accurate in everything that you're saying.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Because I can think of lives that the other side
as well.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
But I will say this to you, if your Kamala Harris,
what you could have done is lean on the reports
that the economy was actually getting better and it actually
isn't a good place compared to where it was. You
could have acknowledged that. Guess what, true, I was a
bit wrong in a position. I was a bit wrong
in the position that I took on the border. And
obviously it's not about flip flopping, it's about me correcting
(25:33):
the error of my ways.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
She didn't do that.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
But in the end, I will tell you, I'll do
you a favor and tell you where the biggest crime
came about from the Democratic Party. You had a situation
with Biden, who promised to be a trans you know,
a transitional president.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
He was. He labeled himself a stop.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
Gap, somebody that was going to come in there sort
of calm the waters and then move out the way
for a young blood to come into the into the
fray and new blood rather to come into the fray
and be the next president of the United States. There
was supposed to be a red wave of the midterms.
It didn't happen. What does he do. He's the incumbent.
He gets comfortable and says, I'm not going anywhere, and
that threw everything up and flux. So suddenly he's debilitated
(26:15):
a bit. The cognitive decline is something that we were witnessing.
People were noticing it but didn't want to speak about it.
You let him go on stage and get embarrassed. June
twenty seventh, three and a half weeks later, you elevate her.
She never went through a primary or anything like that,
which raised question marks and then what do you do
from there on?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Sean got you.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
Obviously they felt they needed to do whatever they could
to This is.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
What they were doing, and it didn't work. It didn't work,
and that's what you have to applaud. The American people
are smoking. They said, we're not going for that. We're
looking at policies, we're not going for all it.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
One last question. We don't have a lot of time.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
She never had to explain one time why she co
sponsored the Green New Deal ninety three trillion and said
she'd eliminate the filibuster. She never had to explain her
position on gun mandatory buyback. She never had to explain
why she said the rioters in twenty twenty five hundred
and seventy four of them won't stop, shouldn't stop, and
she won't stop supporting them.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
She never had to explain.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
She never had to explain, you know why we're going
to pay for free sex change operations for illegal imitgy
It helps you and give them amnesty when they don't
respect our laws.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Will you agree with me?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
And we have thirty seconds for you to answer that
legacy media is dead.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Do you agree or disagree?
Speaker 7 (27:34):
I'm not gonna say it's dead because I'm holding.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Out hope that it can be resuscitated.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
But hold on to this moment you're dead because it's
a rarity. Hold on to this, Hold on to this
for the rest of your life.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
I am going to agree with you from the standpoint
that what was done was inexcusable because it was favoritism
in the media and it had no place in it.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
For a presidential election, you got to call balls and strikes,
and that's not what people on both.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Sides are doing, but especially the left over the last
couple of days, they ain't call them balls to strikes,
and they're wrong.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
You're right, and it's your day. Enjoy it. It's a
real moment. But you got it right.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
That was my friend Stephen A. Smith on Hannity last night.
I mean, I can have a discussion with him. No,
I think he would have preferred Kamala Harris win, but
he gave also pretty darn good analysis as to why
she didn't win. Now I would add a lot more
to it, but he was a guest on my show.
When you have a guest, you try and let your
(28:35):
guests get a few words in, and I'd let him
get more than a few. In anyway, I thought, I
think maybe there's a lesson there for everybody. There's been
plenty of elections that I would have liked my side
to win and we didn't win. And I don't talk
about leaving the country. I go about the business of
doing my shows and getting ready to battle another day.
All right, we're talking about hashtag, hash tag shave your
head or his hashtag shaved head. And this is women
empowering themselves in light of Donald Trump's election. Now, they
were lied to. They were told that IVF treatments will
go away, he will ban them. That was a lie.
(00:22):
They were lied to. He's going to support a national
abortion bed. That is not true either. They were lied to.
He's going to limit access to contraception. Another big lie.
He's going to take away grandma and Grandpa's social security lie.
He supports Project twenty twenty five. Lie. He's a Nazi, racist, fascist, slind, hitler,
(00:43):
Nazi whatever, We're all garbage, a lie. And now Americans,
some of them are saying, well, well, I'm getting out
of here. We're responding, we're looking to move abroad. My
attitude is, if you want to leave and you don't
want to be here, you know, don't let the door
hit in the ass on the way out. That's up
to you. I believe in freedom. You can do whatever
you want, you know. The San Francisco Chronicle publishing advice
(01:06):
for liberals on how they they should move to Canada.
I'm sure that's going to really help their their their
subscriptions on that newspaper.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Then, of course we have this story that we've been
covering all day, which I find quite entertaining, how liberal
women are going on a sex strike because Donald Trump
has won. Then we have snowflakes on college campuses and
their professors they are in need of a day off
because of the trauma that Donald Trump won a free
(01:37):
and fair election. The Guardian offering therapy to staff members.
I mean, you can't make it up. Then then the
Guardian of an article how Americans are stockpiling abortion pills
and hormones ahead of the reproductive apocalypse that is coming
(01:57):
under Donald Trump. Million of liberal women in America shaving
their heads. Okay, if you want to go full on
Britney spears, I believe in freedom and all of these
lies that you were told. What you kind of learn
at some point very shortly is that you were completely
(02:18):
lied to. This was all just nothing but lies, smears, slander,
was outright besmirchmant I mean, just frankly, it was madness. Anyway,
let me play some of this for you over at
that hard hitting the news show, the view, the host
there clashing over who is to blame over Donald Trump
(02:40):
winning because they did everything in their power, with their
little tiny audience that might remain, you know, to do
everything in their power to help elect Kamala Listen.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Speaks to its voters. It really is a message of
joy and inclusiveness. Know, the message of being educated, being.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Dumb, and what's wrong with America?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
He said that funny just did. What is wrong with
America is no, no.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
My point is, I don't blame Joe Biden. I don't
believe Kamala Harris. Go back as far as you want.
When they were focused on renaming schools, there were people saying, hey,
students are destroying colleges.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I paid for that. I sent them there.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
They can't learn, and everyone apologized for it and didn't
want to attend to it. They also denied the border
was a crisis and kept saying no, no, no, it's fine.
This is not a There was a motor bill though that.
My point is they screamed and screamed and screened. They
didn't vote for him because he's a racist or a misogynist.
They voted because they needed help in their everyday lives.
(03:38):
They made because there's an e stat coming out on
the people willing to self reflect are showing these.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
They're gonna say, I'm a racist and a misogynists.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
In the end, every racist and misogynist voted for Donald Trump.
Not everyone that voted for Donald Trump was a racist.
Missogys agree with everyone swept. They slept every category, and
the reason they did is to say, hey, guys, no excuses.
This time they lost everything. Environment to be ravaged, it's
(04:08):
children to be shot, it's well to be hearted, it's
worker to be exploited, it's poor.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
To starve, is cops to murder?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Is the country prop in trouble?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Going to make it?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Hold it?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Linda, Can you get me a bottle of migrain, etc.
Please and have it sent over as soon as possible,
maybe instacart?
Speaker 5 (04:27):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Absolutely extra large? Yeah, extra large now. Megan McCain, who
will join us in a minute, responded to a lot
of this, and she was talking about friends freaking out
at the prospect of a Trump victory. This was before
the election.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Listen in glad to have you here, thoughts on anything
you want to share.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
My liberal friends are freaking out. Whatever that's worth. I
don't think the twenty five percent male vote in Georgia
is helping anyone, and even the I don't have the
numbers right directly in front of me, but the independent
swing from Biden to Trump and Georgia is not a
great signal for anyone who is, you know, hoping that
she will win. I think there's gonna be a lot
(05:11):
of dissecting to do. I just keep thinking of Bridgid
B two C, who you had on yesterday, who is
a friend of mine, who is a woman who is
very anti Trump for a very long time and ended
up voting for him because in no small part the
culture war issues. And I really hope that if he
does win, there's some real soul searching on the side
of Democrats, just about the damage a lot of this
(05:33):
has done to so many women and so many moms
I know.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Anyway, Megan McCain joins us now. She is the host
of our own podcast, Citizen McCain. Great to have you back, Megan.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
How are you, hi, San?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I'm very happy to be here, But I listening to
clips of the view like gives me PTSD. I like
can't even listen to it because it's just so awful.
So thank you for having me out.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, I gotta imagine, because I know you really well,
and I've known you for a long time and we've
always had a great relationship, and i've known Elizabeth hassledback
for a long time. How either one of you survived that.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I have no.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Idea talk about PTSD. If you didn't have it, I
would say, you're the most mentally tough human being on earth.
What was it like when you were there? Because that
show is disintegrated. If the show's going to get canceled,
by the way, it's not going to be by Donald Trump.
It's going to be canceled because nobody's watching. Just like
these late night comedy shows, if they're going to be canceled,
(06:35):
it's because nobody watches anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh, I completely agree, and thank you again. I've always
been such a wonderful friend to me and I know
to Elizabeth too, for so long. And look, I can
remember a time when you used to go on the show,
not that long ago. And it's really I think tragic
that a show that was built on trying to showcase
women's views in the country, and not just political views,
but age views. It's a very old show now. I
(07:00):
think the youngest host is forty eight and the oldest
is eighty three. I think the fact that is a
show that is no reflection of the American public or
American women as a tragedy. But I think more importantly,
I was talking to a friend of mine today who
worked in the past Trump administration and will most likely
work in this new Trump administration, and we were saying
that we just don't know how ABC News can have
(07:22):
this anymore, just from a strict like news ethical mandate.
How do you have a relationship with the new Trump
White House when there are people of sensibly viewing propaganda
just against Trump, against conservatives and conservative women in general.
I don't know what happens that. I do know for
a fact that ratings have completely deteriorated, not just since
I've been on, but just in general as the tolerance
(07:44):
of America has changed. And it's really disappointing. You're talking
about these women shaving their heads and going on sex
strikes or whatever. And I think part of the problem
is they've been lied to so intensely by so many
people in the media that it didn't even occur to
them that Trump could win. I was not surprised by
President Trump Flynn because I don't consume that kind of media,
and I think you should feel bad for women like
(08:05):
that who've been gaslits so egregiously and honestly. The View
is patient zero.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
In this all right, quick break, we'll come right back
more with Megan mcain on the other side. Then we'll
get to your phone calls coming up on this Friday,
eight hundred nine four one Sean, if you want to
be a part of the program. All right, we continue
now with Megan McCain as we analyze the View and
their dramatic meltdown all week. You know, I went through
this last night in a pretty extensive monologue at the
(08:31):
beginning of my show last night before I had steven A.
Smith on, and steven A. Smith was voting for Kamala Harris.
He's a very dear friend, close friend of mine, and
he had been on the View earlier in the morning
and he basically laid out for them what happened, but
not that they could hear it. And here's what's deep
and profound to me as I look at this. I
(08:54):
said on the air in two thousand and seven that
journalism is dead in America, and here in twenty twenty four,
I can officially declare that legacy media is dead. All
of these late night talk show hosts, the ones that
are supposed to be funny and that are no longer funny,
and nobody really watches them anymore. And all the charges
(09:16):
they've made a Russian agent, illegitimate president, all the propaganda
disinformation three years you know, hookers, golden Showers, I mean
a Nazi, racist, white supremacist, fake impeachments. And I'm not
saying the guy's perfect. You know, everybody has their faults, right,
We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
(09:38):
And that means Donald Trump too. They never once talked
about anything he did successfully. They never vetted Kamala Harris either.
And the American people see this, and they saw with
their own eyes the borders were open. They feel it
in their own pockets and their wallets and their pocketbooks
every time they go shopping, they feel it every time
they fill up their car. They see the world as
(10:01):
burning in Europe and in the Middle East, and they
can't figure it out. And I don't think anybody will
ever trust them anymore. It's trust and media is now
at the lowest point ever, am I wrong in saying
legacy media is now dead, especially when we have podcast,
social media, talk radio, Fox News and other options.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
No, I mean not at all. And honestly, I'm very
excited about this, and I'm very happy. Excuse me as
someone who left legacy media on my own fruition because
I saw what was coming and as I tweeted, I
was in a radical progressive, insane asylum. It is not
fair to the American public that these people are getting
paid the kind of paychecks they are given the platforms
(10:42):
they are and all they do their entire job all
day is just to desecrate Republicans and conservatives and people
with all American values all day long. And the American
public has said, we're not listening to it, we're not
watching it, and we're also not voting for your candidate.
And as a result, you see President Trump. I mean,
I think he was in no small part elected because
he went on all of these podcasts and all of
these alternative media places. I mean, he went on like
(11:05):
very deep, interesting podcasts like Leo Vaughn, not just Joe Rogan,
you know, Shane Gillis, like people that men in America
in particular really listen to and really pay attention to.
And I think he was smart enough to understand that.
And quite frankly, Vice President Harris was I think one
of the big, you know, huge errors in her candidacy
(11:26):
was not doing that kind of media and not taking
Joe Rogan up on his offer to come on his show.
But part of the reasons she did that is because
she's incapable of doing an interview that wasn't scripted within
the edge of his life. And you know, we see
where it all landed. But I for when, I'm very
happy legacy media is dying. I'm happy it's over. These
people do not deserve to have the platforms and the
paychecks that they do. And it's also exciting for me
(11:48):
that maybe we can calm some of these women down
in the country about what a Trump presidency is actually
going to look like. I've had my personal issues with
President Trump, as you know better than anybody, But I'm
working right now. I'm writing an article, baking a list
of all the things I'm excited about in the pro
presidency because policy wise, America is going to become a
much better, safer, more prosperous place, and for anyone, especially
(12:11):
a mother of young children like me. We should really
be an exciting moment for women. And I wish that
people weren't gas lit to the degree that they are
given because of shows like The View and MSNBC and
so on. But I think this is actually an opportunity
for women to maybe become enlightened. The forty six percent
or whatever that they didn't end up voting for.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Him, there's stockpiling abortion pills. I mean, you just mentioned
you're a mom. I have kids. The idea that in
California and Minnesota, right where these two candidates are from
on the Democratic side, that they have the ability to
offer two minors gender affirming care, I mean a lot
(12:53):
of that care can be permanent and can cause permanent damage,
and without any parental consent. Does that not infuriate you
that they just totally dismiss any parental rights.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I think that when we look back on this era
in American history, it will be looked back upon with
repulsion and horror. I think that issue in particular, not
just you know, quote gender affirming care, but also the
trans people in sports competing against our young girls. I
met a girl two weeks ago at an event I
did with Riley Gaines and Pelsea Gabbard who had literally
(13:27):
a brain bleed because a trans athlete hit her in
the head so hard with a volleyball that she was hospitalized.
We're talking about putting women and girls in extreme physical
danger and someone could actually end up dying over this.
So yes, I think it is one of the reasons
that the left has gone just so extreme and so
out of again, just like where mainstream normal Americans are,
(13:47):
and they don't understand when you're talking about dealing with
meyer children and you said can do permanent damage. I
really implore anyone to google it. I don't think it's
appropriate to stay on the radio, but just the kind
of long term damage it can do, starting with the
fact that women wouldn't be able to have their children,
which by the way, isn't a decision anyone is capable
of making when they're thirteen years old. I think it's sick.
I think it's horrifying, and for me, it's one of
(14:08):
the things I am most excited about as a Trump
presidency because I really do think this type of is
going to stop immediately.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It really scares me. Anyway, Megan, we appreciate it. If
you want to hear Meghan's podcast, it is. I assume
it's everywhere where you get a podcast. It's called Citizen McCain.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Meghan.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
As always, we appreciate you being on the program. You've
got to be one of the more mentally tough people
I've ever met, considering you dealt with that hard hating
news show the View for as long as you did,
But probably the best thing you did for your mental
health in your entire life is saying goodbye. We do
appreciate you being with us and sharing your views and
(14:47):
actually having the time to express them, which I felt
you never got or Elizabeth never got when they were
on there.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Thank you anyway much, Sehn, Thank you, you.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Bet, thank you. Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawns number.
If you want to be a the program, get your
(15:35):
dose of independence and liberty every weekday right here on
the Sean Hannity Show, Hi twenty five, not to the
top of the hour, told free. Our number is eight
hundred and ninety four one, Sean. If you want to
be a part of the program, what if that God
forbid moment comes and somebody breaks into your home wants
to kill you or bring harm to you and your family,
(15:58):
or your business and your employees. What are you going
to do? Well, that's what the USCCA exists for. In
your mind, you probably have a plan in your mind.
You know you will be successful, and God forbid that
moment comes. Then it happens, And it doesn't matter if
you're an ex Navy seal, longtime gun owner, new to firearms.
If that scenario and I pray it never happens, does happen. Understand,
(16:23):
there are people that end up The people defending themselves
are the ones that end up getting arrested. We've seen
this happen time and time again, especially people working in stores, etc.
And the criminals they'll walk free. Now, this is why
the USCCA exists. As a member, you get world class training,
self defense, liability insurance, and you will not face whatever
(16:45):
they throw at you alone. They will be with you
every step of the way. That's why there's over eight
hundred thousand American gun owners like myself and I've been
a member of the us CCA for nine years that
trust the us CCA, and they want to give every
one of you listening to my voice right now, instant
free access to a life saving resource. It's called the

how this membership can safeguard you and your family if
that God forbid moment ever comes in your life, just
text my last name, Hannity h A, N n it
(17:30):
t Y to the number eight seven two two two today. Uh.
You know, so last night my buddy Steve and a
Smith and we're friends and we have a lot of
political disagreements, and I told him. He said it to
me at one point he said, Kamal has got this.
Kamala's gonna win. I said, you're wrong, She's not going
(17:50):
to win, and he looked at me. Nobody else seemed
had said that to him at that time. I said,
And we have this kind of inside joke between us.
It's like I say, Stephen Stephen A Stanie Lane, you
stay with sports, let me handle the politics part of it.
And when I talk sports with him, he tells me
to stay in My language is politics and let him
handle the sports that he's really good at it. I
(18:12):
think there is no ESPN without Steve and I Smith
in my own humble opinion, and he's just a good person,
and we're really good friends, and we have really good discussions,
and it's no holds barred, it's straightforward. If I'm on
his podcast, I usually tend to dominate. When he's on
my show, I kind of give him the microphone and
let him go. And it was no really, no different
(18:35):
last night. And unlike so many on the left, he
was gracious, and he was gracious to me even before
coming on the show last night. Anyway, we're gonna play
that for you and then we'll come up on the
other side and we'll get to some of your calls.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Eight hundred and nine to four one. Shawn, ESPN host
is a rock star.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
There is no as far as I'm concerned, there is
no ESPN without my friend Steve Smith.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I watched you on the View today. How are you doing?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
All right? How you doing, Sewan?
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Congratulations on the election, the results, you called it, you
said it was going to happen.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I can't refute it.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I can't refuse the fact that the president of the
United States, the president elect, is well deserving of it.
It was a Romp. It was an annihilation. I know
a lot of people are trying to you know, labor
the like. You know what, he won a little bit
in a lot of different places. I don't want to
hear that he won. And he won an absolutely convincing fashion,
so much so that I think that in light of
(19:33):
those results, we have to look at this election as
a referendum on a Democratic party in America, saying we're
not feeling where you are, We're not feeling where you
tried to go. We want no part of it. We're
not having it. And they made their choice and we
all have to accept it.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And you were very gracious by the way. Privately we
have our own conversations and you said that to.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Me, and I'll live with it.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
And I've had elections that I really want at my
side to win that they lost.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And you know what, Steve and A.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I go on and I plow through and I do
my job. There's not gonna be retribution. None of the
hosts of the View are going to be taken on.
I used to go on that show. They wouldn't even allow,
they wouldn't accept a conversation with me. At this point,
isn't that pretty pathetic, beause I used to like what
big Goldberg joy list behar.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Yeah, I would ask that you don't look at the show.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
What you look at.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
What you should look at is the ideological tilt that
has taken place in our country. Got We've gotten to
a point where, God forbid, somebody has a difference of
opinion and a different form of ideology than your damn
near the Antichrist. And that's not what makes this country great.
I mean, the reality is is that you know what,
we could sit up there and we could say what
(20:51):
we want, and everybody has did different opinions about Donald Trump.
You know how I felt. You knew why I didn't
vote for him. I don't like the way he behaves.
I think the presidency is a statesmanship position, and I
think that that I think that level of hubrist that
he's accustomed to showing needs to be dialed back significantly.
But having said that, the bottom line is simple. You
can look at a lot of things on the right
(21:11):
order left. He talked about the economy. Okay, he inherits,
you know, Biden inherited what was it like one and
a half percent in terms of inflation. It belonged to
over nine point one percent before it got dialed down
a little bit. We looked at open borders. Barack Obama
was once considered the deporter in chief because he actually
deported more folks than Donald Trump. But Biden comes into
(21:32):
office and the first thing he does day one executive order,
he opens the borders, and obviously that created.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
So much tension.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
And then you look at the culture wars, the identity politics,
you know, some of the transgender issues that people were
bringing up in terms of individuals transferring and transitioning from
male to female and wanting to participate in female sports
and stuff like that, or sharing the same bathroom as
females and all of.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
This other stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
America said, Hey, we're not down for that. We're not
going for it, no matter what you try to throw
in our direction.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
That's not what we're concerned about.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
We're primarily concerned about the economy, primarily concerned about our
borders and about being safe.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
And they voted that way to send that message.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
And all we've heard over the last couple of days
is folks going absolutely that crazy because the candidate that
they preferred to win didn't win. And I just want
to take a moment to remind everybody this is America.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Guess what. Sometimes you don't get what you want.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
But we are known for having intestinal resolve and making
sure we're able to march forward and work with whoever candidate,
whichever candidate ends up being in office and winning, and
find a way to work with one another and reach
some degree of compromise so we have civility in this
country instead of chaos. It's going to be up to
Donald Trump to contribute to that, no doubt. But the
(22:50):
way I've seen some of the Democrats reacting since Kamala
Harris lost, to be quite honest with you.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Is utterly ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
I'm not going to get into any names, but it's
been utterly ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know one thing, when I'm on your show, I
do all the talking. When you're on my show, I
let you do all the talking. We kind of have
a we kind of have this unspoken agreement because I
always together when we have conversations, they're they're really thoughtful conversations,
they're real.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
We keep it real.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You know, you always tell me to stay at my
lane politics. I tell you to stay in your lane sports.
But you're you're making a lot of sense tonight, and
they would be wise to listen to you and more importantly,
the spirit in what you're telling it.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
And I give you a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You know, here's where I see it, And tell me
what you agree or agree with. They could not run
on one thing that they could point to where we
were better off than we wore four years ago, one
major thing that improved the lives of the American people.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
The campaign ended.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
With You're a racist, You're a Nazi, You're a fascist,
a misogynist. Even Barack Obama and Stacy Abrams calling African
American men misogynists and sex Stacy Abrams says they're racist,
and a lot of what they said was just flat
out lies. Kabala told us for three years the border
(24:09):
was secure.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
It was not. Everybody knew it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
She said for three years that inflation was transitory and
denied that we had an inflation problem. She also lied
during the campaign. Her final argument, she told American women
she told them that Donald Trump's going to sign a
national abortion ban.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
That was a lie.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
She said Donald Trump will limit your access to contraception,
that was a lie. She said that he would ban IVF,
that was a lie. She tried to scare seniors and
say that he's going to take away Social Security and Medicare.
He promised he would not do it. Benefits went up
in his first term when he was president. So analyze
that strategy. You can't run on what you did or
(24:50):
what you succeeded at. So you're going to go to
the lowest level, tell lies and call people Nazis and fascists.
Not a good strategy, Steve and I not nice either.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Well I'm not. I'm not going to deny that. It's
not the greatest strategy. I don't know if you're entirely
completely accurate in everything that you're saying.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Because I can think of lives that the other side
as well.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
But I will say this to you, if your Kamala Harris,
what you could have done is lean on the reports
that the economy was actually getting better and it actually
isn't a good place compared to where it was. You
could have acknowledged that. Guess what, true, I was a
bit wrong in a position. I was a bit wrong
in the position that I took on the border. And
obviously it's not about flip flopping, it's about me correcting
(25:33):
the error of my ways.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
She didn't do that.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
But in the end, I will tell you, I'll do
you a favor and tell you where the biggest crime
came about from the Democratic Party. You had a situation
with Biden, who promised to be a trans you know,
a transitional president.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
He was. He labeled himself a stop.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
Gap, somebody that was going to come in there sort
of calm the waters and then move out the way
for a young blood to come into the into the
fray and new blood rather to come into the fray
and be the next president of the United States. There
was supposed to be a red wave of the midterms.
It didn't happen. What does he do. He's the incumbent.
He gets comfortable and says, I'm not going anywhere, and
that threw everything up and flux. So suddenly he's debilitated
(26:15):
a bit. The cognitive decline is something that we were witnessing.
People were noticing it but didn't want to speak about it.
You let him go on stage and get embarrassed. June
twenty seventh, three and a half weeks later, you elevate her.
She never went through a primary or anything like that,
which raised question marks and then what do you do
from there on?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Sean got you.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
Obviously they felt they needed to do whatever they could
to This is.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
What they were doing, and it didn't work. It didn't work,
and that's what you have to applaud. The American people
are smoking. They said, we're not going for that. We're
looking at policies, we're not going for all it.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
One last question. We don't have a lot of time.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
She never had to explain one time why she co
sponsored the Green New Deal ninety three trillion and said
she'd eliminate the filibuster. She never had to explain her
position on gun mandatory buyback. She never had to explain
why she said the rioters in twenty twenty five hundred
and seventy four of them won't stop, shouldn't stop, and
she won't stop supporting them.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
She never had to explain.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
She never had to explain, you know why we're going
to pay for free sex change operations for illegal imitgy
It helps you and give them amnesty when they don't
respect our laws.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Will you agree with me?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
And we have thirty seconds for you to answer that
legacy media is dead.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Do you agree or disagree?
Speaker 7 (27:34):
I'm not gonna say it's dead because I'm holding.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Out hope that it can be resuscitated.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
But hold on to this moment you're dead because it's
a rarity. Hold on to this, Hold on to this
for the rest of your life.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
I am going to agree with you from the standpoint
that what was done was inexcusable because it was favoritism
in the media and it had no place in it.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
For a presidential election, you got to call balls and strikes,
and that's not what people on both.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Sides are doing, but especially the left over the last
couple of days, they ain't call them balls to strikes,
and they're wrong.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
You're right, and it's your day. Enjoy it. It's a
real moment. But you got it right.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
That was my friend Stephen A. Smith on Hannity last night.
I mean, I can have a discussion with him. No,
I think he would have preferred Kamala Harris win, but
he gave also pretty darn good analysis as to why
she didn't win. Now I would add a lot more
to it, but he was a guest on my show.
When you have a guest, you try and let your
(28:35):
guests get a few words in, and I'd let him
get more than a few. In anyway, I thought, I
think maybe there's a lesson there for everybody. There's been
plenty of elections that I would have liked my side
to win and we didn't win. And I don't talk
about leaving the country. I go about the business of
doing my shows and getting ready to battle another day.
