to four one Sean if you want to join us.
We are back in New York, Linda. We're in New
York where you where you often talk like in New York.
Welcome First of all.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
First of all, we missed you.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Welcome home, Mike. Do you realize the only day of
the year last year and this year that a broadcast
from New York is right now? This is it, Patriots.
I'm here for the Patriot Awards. I am MCing tonight
and I already am having heart palpitations. Uh, you know,
don't want to get here because it's New York. Well,
(00:47):
the good news is it's Nasau County. Bruce Blakeman's a
rock star. And by the way, Republicans and Nasal crushed
it on Tuesday night. They absolutely crushed it. They had
an amazing night here and we're hosting the Fox News
Patriot Awards, which to me is it really is a
great honor to be the MC of this and I'm
(01:09):
very honored by it. I'm very grateful for it, and
I have all my Fox friends and colleagues, they're all
here and it's just as an exciting time. But what
makes this show so different and what I love about
it and you've been before, is that we honor the
(01:30):
unsung heroes, the people that day in and day out
around this country do heroic things, amazing work and never
get or expect any recognition. And the stories of the
people that we are going to be honoring tonight are unbelievable.
(01:50):
You can watch the show. The show sold out, but
you can watch it if you go to Foxnation dot com.
I think it begins at eight to my right about that,
I think it begins at eight, And I'm very excited.
I'm very honored. It's a special night, the special people. Uh,
we have great, great superstar guests. Now, if you were
(02:11):
a call, I never over promised an under deliver. I
kept telling you that if I could tell you, and
I was not allowed. You know, they didn't want to
announce it. But I knew who was coming. Malania Trump
is coming tonight, and Erica Kirk is coming tonight. And
Jason al Dean will be performing tonight, not just one song.
(02:34):
He's going to be performing twice and he's doing something. Really,
I don't want to give the I don't want to
give the show away, and you know, then I get
to be the MC of it all. It's it's very cool.
You watched last year's show. What'd you think?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I thought you were irreverent? And uh, I thought, I
wonder how much they paid him to wear that.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Tucks paid me? Who's him? Ye?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Whoever was in charge of getting you in that in
that suit? I was shocked.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I have an outfit change in the middle of the show.
Oh my, but you know this, this is what I
hate about. I cannot stand the Grammy Awards. I can't
stand you know, look, could you know you have a
bitter list? The Actually.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And did Devil went down to Georgia? I think I
would be thrilled, actually, and so with Charlie Daniels Junior,
that's the one song you can sing.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I probably could have worked that out with Jason Alden,
but I, you know, why would I ruin? I felt
bad at times when I do the Devil went down
to Georgia and we did it in these massive, you know,
venues with twenty thousand people in him sometimes and you know,
Devil went down to Georgia. You're looking for soul to steels.
He's in buying way behind look at it. Make a
deal when he comes across this young young man's song
(03:46):
on a film plane, a hot well devil jumped up
on a hickory stems up. Boy, let me tell you
what I guess. You didn't know it, but I'm a
fiddle whatever. I think I got some of a wrong.
See that's really good.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Like it's hard to do that, it's really really good.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Well, it's like you do the the American Financing.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Exact completely synonymous.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, you recorded it? You say you did it in
one take?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Okay, Jason? Did I do it in one take? Or not?
You know, Jason would tell you the truth.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You did it in one take? Okay, that's the truth.
Get off your back. You're in the Get off her back.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That's right, that's right, preach.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
She did it in one take, and I'm not out
next to you. Yeah, she did it in one take.
You know, I'm a mixed martial artist.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
God, really, we've never heard any show only tells the truth. Oh,
by the way, Sence has already been here and we've
been hanging doctor Coburn's been here. He wanted to bring
like a a metavac team because I refuse to go
to the office to get a check and I kept
telling him, you know, today's not the day. I just
(04:48):
don't have enough time. He goes, well, I'm taking your
blood pressure. I'm like, oh my gosh, in the middle
of the Fox Nation show, you're going to be rushed
off on a stretcher. Might be if he would have
done all that, and it's not hard to carry an
EKG machine he goes. He goes, I make you do
this once a year. You better do it. And I'm like,
he's given me a deadline and I love him to death,
(05:11):
but he is here. We have a lot. Oh you
know what the hangover controversy from yesterday show is. Oh
my gosh, have you noticed how it's blown up? He
had this this wonderful woman she was from my free
state of Florida, but originally from New York, who called
him member. She was very angry with me. We had
two interesting callers yesterday. What was the atheist guy that
(05:34):
believes well quantum particles. I'm like, where did the quantum
particles come from? To be an atheist? I argue that
you have to believe that something can come from nothing,
because well, there's we had the Big Bang theory, and
I'm like, okay, but who where did the where did
all of the the particles come from to bang together
to create universes within universes within universes, and then just
(05:56):
it's just you know, scientifically mystically magic, you know, form,
what is the most unbelievable, you know, creation that one
can't imagine? Where did you If you're an atheist, you
believe something can come from nothing? If you're an atheist, no,
I think it's far more plausible. And I know in
(06:19):
my heart, I have no doubt in my heart, my mind,
my soul that there is a God, a creator. We're
not designed to know everything about him. But that got
I got a lot of feedback on that called yesterday,
and I got a lot of feedback on this poor woman.
She's in my free state of Florida, originally from New York.
And this woman you know, of course, I did this
(06:40):
whole song new York, New York, and I wrote this
song weeks ago. What I find so, hey, Tippo, can
you bring me a copy of the words? And I
wrote this song weeks ago. Now, no offense to you,
but you you know, telling me up to election day
and through election day that Curtis was going to win
(07:00):
the race. And I never want to deflate people before
an election, because in the end there have been surprise elections.
But you know what, I've been doing this too long
to see that there was no shot wasn't going to happen.
It just wasn't. And you know, so I took Frank
Sinatra song, I rewrote it. You know, start spreading the news.
(07:23):
I'm leaving today. No longer want to be a part
of it, High tax New York. You know, these commi
Mamdani blues are all longing to leave, right to the
very heart of it. Bye bye New York. So the
news no no, I promised, Oh you killing me.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Don't want to be a part of it, Hi tax
New York or these Mandani blues. I'm making believe right
to the very heart event my by York. I want
(08:15):
to wake up in a city without bad crime and fine,
there's nowhere of scene and no chucking. These little town
blues they pulled me away. I'll make a brand new
(08:43):
start event outside New York. If I can make it
their same money everywhere. Good bye if.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
You New New York, New York, screw you, New York.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I wanna wake up in a city with the mandane
and find out payload taxes, no crime all day, the
police that are love. We've an old girl allway, these
(09:43):
big city blues and bush me away. I'm I'm gonna
make a brain a new star of it the hell
(10:03):
away from New York. I can make it fair. No
Hillary is anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I'm sick of you.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
New York, New York.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Go have yourself New York. You're a complete.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
New York all right. The great Joe Pegs singing that, Uh,
what a collaboration? What did he cut that? Like a day?
What he did? I think he did a worse like
one take. Yeah. I mean he's so amazing. He's so
talented and gifted, and he's such a good dear friend.
And I'm very grateful to him for doing that for us.
(11:02):
I am happy with my lyrics. I could be a
songwriter maybe in Nashville in my next life. I don't know. Well,
it took us away from the cat that you over fed.
But I do have news that we have to get
to Democrats. There's been a lot of talk about Republican
schisms and the legacy. Media mob wants to focus on that,
(11:23):
but they always want to focus on the wrong things.
The Schumer shutdown continues, We'll get to that. It's getting
bad now. Maybe by the weekend, is what I'm being told.
It might be a shot at them reopening. I think
that the pressure is getting enormous at this point. This
was pretty pretty interesting, and it was in the Washington
Times today, AOC warning quote to the old guard, you're
(11:46):
going to be left behind. Oh I wonder who she
might be talking about anyway. Zoron comedy, Marxist Mamdani's stunning
when in New York City in the mayoral race up
an internal fight that now threatens to break apart the
Democratic Party ahead of the twenty twenty six midterms. He's
(12:08):
now the face of the Democratic Party. So listen. And
I'm not being critical of AOC. I've said this for
the longest time. When Nancy Pelosi was Speaker, She's speaker
in name only. Came Jeffries's speaker in name only. And
you know what, AOC is really the dominant voice in
the House of Representatives. I don't think you can take
that from her, and I don't agree with her, but
(12:31):
you can't deny that she's very powerful. Mam Donnie's celebrations
barely underway. AOC you know, leader of the Democrats, and
this I call I think it's a radical you know,
wing of the party, but it is what it is.
She probably thinks I'm radical, you know. Put a stark
warning out to the old guard leader. She said, the
(12:51):
Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future,
by trying to undercut our young, by trying to undercut
the next generation of diverse and upcoming Democrats, that of
the actual party, the actual electorate and voter support. Her
threat was lobbed directly at the top Democratic leaders, who
(13:12):
either refused to endorse Mamdani Schumer or did so reluctantly
Jeffries at the last minute, and with public assurances that
his Socialists inspired agenda did not represent the future of
the party, which is exactly what Khakim Jeffries did. It
(13:32):
puts folks on notice that we have a future to
plan and we are either going to do that together
or you're going to be left behind. I mean, we
know how she's interpreting these election results and by the way,
you know, she went hard, deep in the paint campaigning
for Mumdani, as did Grandpa Bernie. And Grandpa Bernie say
(13:54):
in the same thing. Bernie Sanders, you know, hijack Schumer's
press conference, which was pretty amazing. You know, Schumer was
at the podium touting Democratic election wins as a five
alarm fire for Republicans. Okay, if you think deep blue
New Jersey, deep deep deep deep blue New York City,
(14:15):
deep blue Virginia, I've never believed. The outlier in Virginia
was Glenn Younkin. And it was just the perfect candidate,
perfect time, perfect issues, and it just it was. But
it was the exception. It's not the rule. It's not
a purple state, even it's a blue state. And anyway,
then Chucky Schumer is there. Bernie Sanders stepped in effectively
(14:38):
hijacked the entire event, delivering a stinging rebuke not to
Republicans but to his own leadership. He criticized the National
Party for failing to back successful progressive candidates, specifically Zorn Marxist,
Kami Mumdani, and Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner. I think
(15:01):
there is growing understanding that leadership and defending the status
quo and the inequalities that exist in America is not
where the American people are. They're looking at this as
a mandate. And you know, his decision to elbow Chucky
Schumer off the podium at his own press conference that
you know as AOC is warning the Democratic Party old
(15:24):
guard they better get on board or get out, or
you're going to be left behind. This is a moment
to remember. I'll tell you that historically, what was I
just handled here by Ethan oh here is okay? Bill
Ackman's tweet, Bill Well, Bill Ackman came under fire. I
like Bill Lackman. Actually I read his stuff. I think
(15:47):
he's very smart. He seems to be one of the
few people in the financial world that understand how profound
it is to that Donald Trump has secured trillions in
investments in manufacturing in this country and those jobs are
going to be coming online, hopefully sooner rather than later,
you know, because of the bonus depreciation one hundred percent
bonus depreciation and the one big beautiful bill I mean
(16:10):
trillions of dollars. This country has never seen that before,
coupled with the largest tax cuts in American history, you know,
coupled with you know, helping working men and women in
this country, no tax on tips, overtime, or social security.
And you know, add to that the president moving towards
energy dominance. He was the first president to get us
(16:32):
to energy and dependence in over seventy five years. And anyway,
he was fighting against Mamdani getting elected. Then he tweeted out,
if I can ever be of any help, let me know.
In other words, he opened the door, and everyone else,
his competitors, you know, started hammering him. I'm like, that's
just complete ps. So he put out the Democrat what
(16:57):
is the DSA called for? What is it called again?
Democrats Socialists of America Anti War Working Groups internal document
which they accidentally shared with me. It includes the group's
list of demands for the incoming Mamdani administration. Shockingly, basically
(17:18):
all the demands are anti Israel. And he puts out
this memorandum and he writes on top this is bad
and it talks about the agenda and it gives you know,
they nominate volunteers co chairs. Remember Linda Sarsour said that
Mamdani's going to be listening to everything she tells him
(17:41):
to listen to Divest city pension funds from Israeli bonds
and securities. Withdraw City funds from banks that lend money
to Israel or do business in Israel. N City contracts
with companies that do business with Israel. Operates city grocery
stores free of Israeli products. Wow, Investigate real estate agents
(18:09):
hosting illegal sales of stolen lands in the West Bank.
Evict weapons manufacturers and transporters from the New York City
metro area. Remove nonprofit status from charities that raise money
and funds for the IDF. Divest the City of New
(18:30):
York Endowment and reinstate wrongly fired professors. Dismantle Eric Adams,
New York City Israel Economic Council and NYPD training with
the IOF and repression of demonstrators and the SRG, arrest
net and Yahoo, and activate an active idea of soldiers
(18:54):
for war crimes. This is sick stuff, I'm telling you.
This is sick, sick, sick. You know, virulent anti Semitism,
you know. But the guy that wouldn't condemn globalize the Antifada,
why would any of you be surprised? You shouldn't be, Linda,
(19:15):
you shocked by that, I am I'm ap polled. Say
that word again.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Appalled.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
How do you say it like you're from Florida. I'm
a polled, I'm appolled.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Florida doesn't have a thick New York accent like you do.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh my god. First of all, Florida, Florida is New York.
It is That's where everything is going.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Uh No, there are many people that have fled New
York and New Jersey and California and Illinois and that
have ended up in my free state of Florida. Many
have actually fled to yours. You're Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Well, a lot of Californians have actually gone to Texas.
I would say the Northeasterns are going to Florida and
South Carolina and Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So I was just telling everyone in the last hour,
so crazy Bernie AOC Marxist Kami Mumdani plan a hostile takeover.
AOC is warning. But basically she's talking directly to Chucky Schumer.
You know when she says the Democratic Party cannot last
much longer by denying the future, by trying to undercut
(20:27):
our young, by trying to undercut a next generation of
diverse and upcoming Democrats that have the actual party, the
actual electorate voter support. Her threat lob directly at top Democrats.
She's going right at Chucky and right at Hakim Jeffries.
And you know, she said, her threat was lob directly
(20:49):
at the top Democratic leaders who either refused to endorse
mister Mumdanie or did so reluctantly at the last minute.
The one that did so reluctantly at the last minute
was a Keem Jeffries. The one that didn't was Chucky Schumer,
and with public assurances that his socialist inspired agenda did
not represent the future of the party, a direct hit
(21:10):
on Jakeem Jeffries. Whatever I've been saying, their days are numbered,
I've been saying they're leaders in name only. She is
confirming my belief system. She said. It puts folks on
notice that we have a future to plan. We are
either going to do that together or you're going to
be left behind. Well, let me tell you how that's
going to end. Chuck is out, Hakeem Jeffries is out.
(21:32):
There's no way they're going to be challenged. They're not
going to be challenged. Bernie Sanders telling reporters. The party's
internal divide is no secret. It's about to intensify in
primary races across the US. So what we're going to
see are more people, more squad members running for Congress
and the Senate. What we're seeing him Maine, he said,
(21:54):
what you're seeing in New York City. I mean, this
lunatic in Maine, the guy with the Nazi tattoo has
said the most vile and hateful things. I assume he,
you know, is going to be their nominee against Susan Collins.
Susan Collins is going to get re elected. That's what's
going to happen to main Now. I don't agree with
Susan Collins on some issues, but she's the only elected
(22:15):
person in d C from the entire you know, from
New England States. She's it, and she does try to
accommodate the Republican leadership. She's not like Lisa Murkowski, who
just you know, seems to just hate everything about the
Republican Party. I'm not sure why she stays in it.
And if it wasn't for rank choice voting, the stupidity
(22:38):
that they have in Alaska as she wouldn't even be there. Anyway,
So AOC says, what you're seeing in Maine, seeing in
New York City, what you're going to see all over
the country. You're going to see progressives running, protecting the
needs of working class, taking on big money interest, fighting
for an agenda. It is like to fight the oligarchy tour.
You know what's amazing about that part? I love that
(23:00):
fly around in a private jet. You know, they fly
around in a beautiful, big Gulf stream, you know, with
all those carbon emissions. By the way, I'm not against
private jets. I've flown in them, and I'm going to
tell you something. It is. It is quite the thing
to fly it. It's pretty awesome, you know, And no
problem with that. The problem is they claim that they're
(23:22):
you know, the environment, the environ Well, I mean, she's
the author of the Greed New Deal. But anyway, I'd
actually like to interview AOC. I bet you I would
be nice to her. I would be nice to her.
I'd have a conversation. I would want I would not
want it to be you know, a seven minute TV hit.
I'd want it to go on for like two hours
(23:42):
and just have a conversation. Let her talk, you know,
I'll take notes, I'll respond, she can take notes instead
of shouting over each other. Have a conversation and let
me tell you what I believe, and let me tell you.
You can tell me what you believe. Be I think,
don't you think to be fascinating? I think it would be.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Are you gonna let her get back to her roots
and serve drinks while she tries to make a conversation.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I find to tell you I have that. I hate
to tell you, but I have that in common with
her because those are my roots too. Yeah, but your.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Roots were centered in the You know, being behind the
bar is a stepping stone. You know somebody came in
when day and say, hey, you want to be a
congress iman, you'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Why are you? Why are you diminishing? She's now emerged
as the most powerful.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Oh, don't get me wrong. She was a terrible bartender too.
Don't get it, don't don't get in.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Do you know what kind of bartender she was? The idea?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I know she never saw you at the end, even
though you stood there for an hour and gave you
the wrong drink.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Trust me, Oh my god, you know you just you
sound very angry today.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Angry.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
She's just annoying. Okay, I'm not right. Wouldn't Why wouldn't
you want that conversation. I can have a conversation, had
a conversation.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's her going global warming is like real? Okay, and
then you'd have to wait, and that would be the
whole sentence.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
You're being mean, course to say the NYPD Commissioner, Jessica Tish,
will stay on the job, but only if Mamdani agrees
to certain conditions. I don't know what the hell they
could be. That's an interesting side note. It is getting
scary with the Schumer shutdown. The FAA released a list
of airports that could be impacted by cancelations. Thousands of
(25:20):
flights at high traffic airports around the country are going
to be cut or canceled starting Friday. Great, oh, please
don't get me trapped in New York. Please you know,
Heavenly Father. No. The FAA, which directs more than forty
four thousand flights a day, including commercial passenger flights, cargo planes,
private aircraft, said restrictions will remain in place as long
(25:41):
as necessary. A list obtained by NBC Chicago O'Hare Midway
International will be among those impacted, Atlanta, Hartsfield, Boston, Logan,
Anchorage International. What are people going to do to get home?
In Alaska? Baltimore, Arlotte, Cincinnati, Dallas, Reagan National, Denver International, Dallas,
(26:06):
Fort Worth International, I mean Newark, Liberty, Fort Lauderdale. Uh oh,
that's a problem. That's a big problem. That's a huge problem.
Even Dulles in DC. I mean, I've got interviews coming up.
I gotta travel with these interviews. JFK in New York,
(26:28):
Harry Reid International in Vegas, La La X. Are you
kidding me? La Guardia? Oh my gosh, this is going
to be a disaster. The shoe we shut down, Oh
my gosh. But I'm sure they'll make an exception for
the fight the oligarchy planes they've That has got to
(26:49):
be prioritiz It's got to be a top priority. So
we'll watch that very very closely. Nancy Pelosi, by the way,
we learned, will not seek reelection, ending decades long House career.
She looked like she was endorsing Newsome over Kamala Harris
the other day. I think we told you about that.
What else do I have here? Oh my gosh. The
(27:11):
Schumer's shut down House Conservatives back new funding effort. I
mean it's that we're now up to fifteen fifteen times
that Democrats have rejected opening it. Sean Duffy warning the
ten percent of the weekend's flights are going to be
canceled just with this weekend. I got to get on
one of those flights. I'm getting out of here. I'm
not going to get trapped in New York. I have
(27:32):
to escape. Emboldened by their election, when Democrats vow to
continue their government shutdown, you know that's insane. Left wing
House Democrats threaten their Senate colleagues saying that they will
they will be hell to pay if they agree to
reopen the government. Well, they already voted for a continuing resolution.
You can't blame them. They just you know, and you
(27:54):
know a lot of people. Now, I'm just not getting
involved in the fight of the filibuster because you know,
there's no convincing anybody. It's not one of those issues.
Top Democrats celebrating Mamdonnie's win, but they don't really believe it.
David Hogg, remember him, the former DNC vice chair. No
other cities like New York. He said, the lesson that
we'll be learned here tonight is not every policy in
(28:16):
New York should be replicated around the country. Moving company
phone numbers for our New York New York listening audience.
As a public service to New York City, I wanted
to give out the phone numbers to some of the
more popular moving companies. If you'd like, We're going to
put it on Hannity dot Com, Allied Van Lines, American
(28:39):
Van Lines, Colonial Van Lines, Beckhan Van Lines, Chelsea U
Haul and just look up you Haul on Google and
find the location near you Google Maps. I don't think
that's a bad idea anyway. Eight hundred and nine four
one Shawn is a number we are in New York.
This is this is a special night for me and
(29:01):
I'm I'm being so serious. I'm so honored and grateful.
We are not a high Hollywood patting ourselves on the back. Well,
I have a little fun with that, but that's not
what this night is about. It's honoring people that do
incredibly courageous, brave, heroic things and never get recognition.
Thanks to all of you for being with us. Write
down our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of this extravaganza. It's eight hundred nine
to four one Sean if you want to join us.
We are back in New York, Linda. We're in New
York where you where you often talk like in New York.
Welcome First of all.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
First of all, we missed you.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Welcome home, Mike. Do you realize the only day of
the year last year and this year that a broadcast
from New York is right now? This is it, Patriots.
I'm here for the Patriot Awards. I am MCing tonight
and I already am having heart palpitations. Uh, you know,
don't want to get here because it's New York. Well,
(00:47):
the good news is it's Nasau County. Bruce Blakeman's a
rock star. And by the way, Republicans and Nasal crushed
it on Tuesday night. They absolutely crushed it. They had
an amazing night here and we're hosting the Fox News
Patriot Awards, which to me is it really is a
great honor to be the MC of this and I'm
(01:09):
very honored by it. I'm very grateful for it, and
I have all my Fox friends and colleagues, they're all
here and it's just as an exciting time. But what
makes this show so different and what I love about
it and you've been before, is that we honor the
(01:30):
unsung heroes, the people that day in and day out
around this country do heroic things, amazing work and never
get or expect any recognition. And the stories of the
people that we are going to be honoring tonight are unbelievable.
(01:50):
You can watch the show. The show sold out, but
you can watch it if you go to Foxnation dot com.
I think it begins at eight to my right about that,
I think it begins at eight, And I'm very excited.
I'm very honored. It's a special night, the special people. Uh,
we have great, great superstar guests. Now, if you were
(02:11):
a call, I never over promised an under deliver. I
kept telling you that if I could tell you, and
I was not allowed. You know, they didn't want to
announce it. But I knew who was coming. Malania Trump
is coming tonight, and Erica Kirk is coming tonight. And
Jason al Dean will be performing tonight, not just one song.
(02:34):
He's going to be performing twice and he's doing something. Really,
I don't want to give the I don't want to
give the show away, and you know, then I get
to be the MC of it all. It's it's very cool.
You watched last year's show. What'd you think?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I thought you were irreverent? And uh, I thought, I
wonder how much they paid him to wear that.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Tucks paid me? Who's him? Ye?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Whoever was in charge of getting you in that in
that suit? I was shocked.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I have an outfit change in the middle of the show.
Oh my, but you know this, this is what I
hate about. I cannot stand the Grammy Awards. I can't
stand you know, look, could you know you have a
bitter list? The Actually.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And did Devil went down to Georgia? I think I
would be thrilled, actually, and so with Charlie Daniels Junior,
that's the one song you can sing.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I probably could have worked that out with Jason Alden,
but I, you know, why would I ruin? I felt
bad at times when I do the Devil went down
to Georgia and we did it in these massive, you know,
venues with twenty thousand people in him sometimes and you know,
Devil went down to Georgia. You're looking for soul to steels.
He's in buying way behind look at it. Make a
deal when he comes across this young young man's song
(03:46):
on a film plane, a hot well devil jumped up
on a hickory stems up. Boy, let me tell you
what I guess. You didn't know it, but I'm a
fiddle whatever. I think I got some of a wrong.
See that's really good.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Like it's hard to do that, it's really really good.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Well, it's like you do the the American Financing.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Exact completely synonymous.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, you recorded it? You say you did it in
one take?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Okay, Jason? Did I do it in one take? Or not?
You know, Jason would tell you the truth.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You did it in one take? Okay, that's the truth.
Get off your back. You're in the Get off her back.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That's right, that's right, preach.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
She did it in one take, and I'm not out
next to you. Yeah, she did it in one take.
You know, I'm a mixed martial artist.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
God, really, we've never heard any show only tells the truth. Oh,
by the way, Sence has already been here and we've
been hanging doctor Coburn's been here. He wanted to bring
like a a metavac team because I refuse to go
to the office to get a check and I kept
telling him, you know, today's not the day. I just
(04:48):
don't have enough time. He goes, well, I'm taking your
blood pressure. I'm like, oh my gosh, in the middle
of the Fox Nation show, you're going to be rushed
off on a stretcher. Might be if he would have
done all that, and it's not hard to carry an
EKG machine he goes. He goes, I make you do
this once a year. You better do it. And I'm like,
he's given me a deadline and I love him to death,
(05:11):
but he is here. We have a lot. Oh you
know what the hangover controversy from yesterday show is. Oh
my gosh, have you noticed how it's blown up? He
had this this wonderful woman she was from my free
state of Florida, but originally from New York, who called
him member. She was very angry with me. We had
two interesting callers yesterday. What was the atheist guy that
(05:34):
believes well quantum particles. I'm like, where did the quantum
particles come from? To be an atheist? I argue that
you have to believe that something can come from nothing,
because well, there's we had the Big Bang theory, and
I'm like, okay, but who where did the where did
all of the the particles come from to bang together
to create universes within universes within universes, and then just
(05:56):
it's just you know, scientifically mystically magic, you know, form,
what is the most unbelievable, you know, creation that one
can't imagine? Where did you If you're an atheist, you
believe something can come from nothing? If you're an atheist, no,
I think it's far more plausible. And I know in
(06:19):
my heart, I have no doubt in my heart, my mind,
my soul that there is a God, a creator. We're
not designed to know everything about him. But that got
I got a lot of feedback on that called yesterday,
and I got a lot of feedback on this poor woman.
She's in my free state of Florida, originally from New York.
And this woman you know, of course, I did this
(06:40):
whole song new York, New York, and I wrote this
song weeks ago. What I find so, hey, Tippo, can
you bring me a copy of the words? And I
wrote this song weeks ago. Now, no offense to you,
but you you know, telling me up to election day
and through election day that Curtis was going to win
(07:00):
the race. And I never want to deflate people before
an election, because in the end there have been surprise elections.
But you know what, I've been doing this too long
to see that there was no shot wasn't going to happen.
It just wasn't. And you know, so I took Frank
Sinatra song, I rewrote it. You know, start spreading the news.
(07:23):
I'm leaving today. No longer want to be a part
of it, High tax New York. You know, these commi
Mamdani blues are all longing to leave, right to the
very heart of it. Bye bye New York. So the
news no no, I promised, Oh you killing me.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Don't want to be a part of it, Hi tax
New York or these Mandani blues. I'm making believe right
to the very heart event my by York. I want
(08:15):
to wake up in a city without bad crime and fine,
there's nowhere of scene and no chucking. These little town
blues they pulled me away. I'll make a brand new
(08:43):
start event outside New York. If I can make it
their same money everywhere. Good bye if.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
You New New York, New York, screw you, New York.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I wanna wake up in a city with the mandane
and find out payload taxes, no crime all day, the
police that are love. We've an old girl allway, these
(09:43):
big city blues and bush me away. I'm I'm gonna
make a brain a new star of it the hell
(10:03):
away from New York. I can make it fair. No
Hillary is anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I'm sick of you.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
New York, New York.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Go have yourself New York. You're a complete.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
New York all right. The great Joe Pegs singing that, Uh,
what a collaboration? What did he cut that? Like a day?
What he did? I think he did a worse like
one take. Yeah. I mean he's so amazing. He's so
talented and gifted, and he's such a good dear friend.
And I'm very grateful to him for doing that for us.
(11:02):
I am happy with my lyrics. I could be a
songwriter maybe in Nashville in my next life. I don't know. Well,
it took us away from the cat that you over fed.
But I do have news that we have to get
to Democrats. There's been a lot of talk about Republican
schisms and the legacy. Media mob wants to focus on that,
(11:23):
but they always want to focus on the wrong things.
The Schumer shutdown continues, We'll get to that. It's getting
bad now. Maybe by the weekend, is what I'm being told.
It might be a shot at them reopening. I think
that the pressure is getting enormous at this point. This
was pretty pretty interesting, and it was in the Washington
Times today, AOC warning quote to the old guard, you're
(11:46):
going to be left behind. Oh I wonder who she
might be talking about anyway. Zoron comedy, Marxist Mamdani's stunning
when in New York City in the mayoral race up
an internal fight that now threatens to break apart the
Democratic Party ahead of the twenty twenty six midterms. He's
(12:08):
now the face of the Democratic Party. So listen. And
I'm not being critical of AOC. I've said this for
the longest time. When Nancy Pelosi was Speaker, She's speaker
in name only. Came Jeffries's speaker in name only. And
you know what, AOC is really the dominant voice in
the House of Representatives. I don't think you can take
that from her, and I don't agree with her, but
(12:31):
you can't deny that she's very powerful. Mam Donnie's celebrations
barely underway. AOC you know, leader of the Democrats, and
this I call I think it's a radical you know,
wing of the party, but it is what it is.
She probably thinks I'm radical, you know. Put a stark
warning out to the old guard leader. She said, the
(12:51):
Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future,
by trying to undercut our young, by trying to undercut
the next generation of diverse and upcoming Democrats, that of
the actual party, the actual electorate and voter support. Her
threat was lobbed directly at the top Democratic leaders, who
(13:12):
either refused to endorse Mamdani Schumer or did so reluctantly
Jeffries at the last minute, and with public assurances that
his Socialists inspired agenda did not represent the future of
the party, which is exactly what Khakim Jeffries did. It
(13:32):
puts folks on notice that we have a future to
plan and we are either going to do that together
or you're going to be left behind. I mean, we
know how she's interpreting these election results and by the way,
you know, she went hard, deep in the paint campaigning
for Mumdani, as did Grandpa Bernie. And Grandpa Bernie say
(13:54):
in the same thing. Bernie Sanders, you know, hijack Schumer's
press conference, which was pretty amazing. You know, Schumer was
at the podium touting Democratic election wins as a five
alarm fire for Republicans. Okay, if you think deep blue
New Jersey, deep deep deep deep blue New York City,
(14:15):
deep blue Virginia, I've never believed. The outlier in Virginia
was Glenn Younkin. And it was just the perfect candidate,
perfect time, perfect issues, and it just it was. But
it was the exception. It's not the rule. It's not
a purple state, even it's a blue state. And anyway,
then Chucky Schumer is there. Bernie Sanders stepped in effectively
(14:38):
hijacked the entire event, delivering a stinging rebuke not to
Republicans but to his own leadership. He criticized the National
Party for failing to back successful progressive candidates, specifically Zorn Marxist,
Kami Mumdani, and Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner. I think
(15:01):
there is growing understanding that leadership and defending the status
quo and the inequalities that exist in America is not
where the American people are. They're looking at this as
a mandate. And you know, his decision to elbow Chucky
Schumer off the podium at his own press conference that
you know as AOC is warning the Democratic Party old
(15:24):
guard they better get on board or get out, or
you're going to be left behind. This is a moment
to remember. I'll tell you that historically, what was I
just handled here by Ethan oh here is okay? Bill
Ackman's tweet, Bill Well, Bill Ackman came under fire. I
like Bill Lackman. Actually I read his stuff. I think
(15:47):
he's very smart. He seems to be one of the
few people in the financial world that understand how profound
it is to that Donald Trump has secured trillions in
investments in manufacturing in this country and those jobs are
going to be coming online, hopefully sooner rather than later,
you know, because of the bonus depreciation one hundred percent
bonus depreciation and the one big beautiful bill I mean
(16:10):
trillions of dollars. This country has never seen that before,
coupled with the largest tax cuts in American history, you know,
coupled with you know, helping working men and women in
this country, no tax on tips, overtime, or social security.
And you know, add to that the president moving towards
energy dominance. He was the first president to get us
(16:32):
to energy and dependence in over seventy five years. And anyway,
he was fighting against Mamdani getting elected. Then he tweeted out,
if I can ever be of any help, let me know.
In other words, he opened the door, and everyone else,
his competitors, you know, started hammering him. I'm like, that's
just complete ps. So he put out the Democrat what
(16:57):
is the DSA called for? What is it called again?
Democrats Socialists of America Anti War Working Groups internal document
which they accidentally shared with me. It includes the group's
list of demands for the incoming Mamdani administration. Shockingly, basically
(17:18):
all the demands are anti Israel. And he puts out
this memorandum and he writes on top this is bad
and it talks about the agenda and it gives you know,
they nominate volunteers co chairs. Remember Linda Sarsour said that
Mamdani's going to be listening to everything she tells him
(17:41):
to listen to Divest city pension funds from Israeli bonds
and securities. Withdraw City funds from banks that lend money
to Israel or do business in Israel. N City contracts
with companies that do business with Israel. Operates city grocery
stores free of Israeli products. Wow, Investigate real estate agents
(18:09):
hosting illegal sales of stolen lands in the West Bank.
Evict weapons manufacturers and transporters from the New York City
metro area. Remove nonprofit status from charities that raise money
and funds for the IDF. Divest the City of New
(18:30):
York Endowment and reinstate wrongly fired professors. Dismantle Eric Adams,
New York City Israel Economic Council and NYPD training with
the IOF and repression of demonstrators and the SRG, arrest
net and Yahoo, and activate an active idea of soldiers
(18:54):
for war crimes. This is sick stuff, I'm telling you.
This is sick, sick, sick. You know, virulent anti Semitism,
you know. But the guy that wouldn't condemn globalize the Antifada,
why would any of you be surprised? You shouldn't be, Linda,
(19:15):
you shocked by that, I am I'm ap polled. Say
that word again.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Appalled.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
How do you say it like you're from Florida. I'm
a polled, I'm appolled.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Florida doesn't have a thick New York accent like you do.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh my god. First of all, Florida, Florida is New York.
It is That's where everything is going.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Uh No, there are many people that have fled New
York and New Jersey and California and Illinois and that
have ended up in my free state of Florida. Many
have actually fled to yours. You're Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Well, a lot of Californians have actually gone to Texas.
I would say the Northeasterns are going to Florida and
South Carolina and Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So I was just telling everyone in the last hour,
so crazy Bernie AOC Marxist Kami Mumdani plan a hostile takeover.
AOC is warning. But basically she's talking directly to Chucky Schumer.
You know when she says the Democratic Party cannot last
much longer by denying the future, by trying to undercut
(20:27):
our young, by trying to undercut a next generation of
diverse and upcoming Democrats that have the actual party, the
actual electorate voter support. Her threat lob directly at top Democrats.
She's going right at Chucky and right at Hakim Jeffries.
And you know, she said, her threat was lob directly
(20:49):
at the top Democratic leaders who either refused to endorse
mister Mumdanie or did so reluctantly at the last minute.
The one that did so reluctantly at the last minute
was a Keem Jeffries. The one that didn't was Chucky Schumer,
and with public assurances that his socialist inspired agenda did
not represent the future of the party, a direct hit
(21:10):
on Jakeem Jeffries. Whatever I've been saying, their days are numbered,
I've been saying they're leaders in name only. She is
confirming my belief system. She said. It puts folks on
notice that we have a future to plan. We are
either going to do that together or you're going to
be left behind. Well, let me tell you how that's
going to end. Chuck is out, Hakeem Jeffries is out.
(21:32):
There's no way they're going to be challenged. They're not
going to be challenged. Bernie Sanders telling reporters. The party's
internal divide is no secret. It's about to intensify in
primary races across the US. So what we're going to
see are more people, more squad members running for Congress
and the Senate. What we're seeing him Maine, he said,
(21:54):
what you're seeing in New York City. I mean, this
lunatic in Maine, the guy with the Nazi tattoo has
said the most vile and hateful things. I assume he,
you know, is going to be their nominee against Susan Collins.
Susan Collins is going to get re elected. That's what's
going to happen to main Now. I don't agree with
Susan Collins on some issues, but she's the only elected
(22:15):
person in d C from the entire you know, from
New England States. She's it, and she does try to
accommodate the Republican leadership. She's not like Lisa Murkowski, who
just you know, seems to just hate everything about the
Republican Party. I'm not sure why she stays in it.
And if it wasn't for rank choice voting, the stupidity
(22:38):
that they have in Alaska as she wouldn't even be there. Anyway,
So AOC says, what you're seeing in Maine, seeing in
New York City, what you're going to see all over
the country. You're going to see progressives running, protecting the
needs of working class, taking on big money interest, fighting
for an agenda. It is like to fight the oligarchy tour.
You know what's amazing about that part? I love that
(23:00):
fly around in a private jet. You know, they fly
around in a beautiful, big Gulf stream, you know, with
all those carbon emissions. By the way, I'm not against
private jets. I've flown in them, and I'm going to
tell you something. It is. It is quite the thing
to fly it. It's pretty awesome, you know, And no
problem with that. The problem is they claim that they're
(23:22):
you know, the environment, the environ Well, I mean, she's
the author of the Greed New Deal. But anyway, I'd
actually like to interview AOC. I bet you I would
be nice to her. I would be nice to her.
I'd have a conversation. I would want I would not
want it to be you know, a seven minute TV hit.
I'd want it to go on for like two hours
(23:42):
and just have a conversation. Let her talk, you know,
I'll take notes, I'll respond, she can take notes instead
of shouting over each other. Have a conversation and let
me tell you what I believe, and let me tell you.
You can tell me what you believe. Be I think,
don't you think to be fascinating? I think it would be.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Are you gonna let her get back to her roots
and serve drinks while she tries to make a conversation.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I find to tell you I have that. I hate
to tell you, but I have that in common with
her because those are my roots too. Yeah, but your.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Roots were centered in the You know, being behind the
bar is a stepping stone. You know somebody came in
when day and say, hey, you want to be a
congress iman, you'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Why are you? Why are you diminishing? She's now emerged
as the most powerful.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Oh, don't get me wrong. She was a terrible bartender too.
Don't get it, don't don't get in.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Do you know what kind of bartender she was? The idea?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I know she never saw you at the end, even
though you stood there for an hour and gave you
the wrong drink.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Trust me, Oh my god, you know you just you
sound very angry today.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Angry.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
She's just annoying. Okay, I'm not right. Wouldn't Why wouldn't
you want that conversation. I can have a conversation, had
a conversation.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's her going global warming is like real? Okay, and
then you'd have to wait, and that would be the
whole sentence.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
You're being mean, course to say the NYPD Commissioner, Jessica Tish,
will stay on the job, but only if Mamdani agrees
to certain conditions. I don't know what the hell they
could be. That's an interesting side note. It is getting
scary with the Schumer shutdown. The FAA released a list
of airports that could be impacted by cancelations. Thousands of
(25:20):
flights at high traffic airports around the country are going
to be cut or canceled starting Friday. Great, oh, please
don't get me trapped in New York. Please you know,
Heavenly Father. No. The FAA, which directs more than forty
four thousand flights a day, including commercial passenger flights, cargo planes,
private aircraft, said restrictions will remain in place as long
(25:41):
as necessary. A list obtained by NBC Chicago O'Hare Midway
International will be among those impacted, Atlanta, Hartsfield, Boston, Logan,
Anchorage International. What are people going to do to get home?
In Alaska? Baltimore, Arlotte, Cincinnati, Dallas, Reagan National, Denver International, Dallas,
(26:06):
Fort Worth International, I mean Newark, Liberty, Fort Lauderdale. Uh oh,
that's a problem. That's a big problem. That's a huge problem.
Even Dulles in DC. I mean, I've got interviews coming up.
I gotta travel with these interviews. JFK in New York,
(26:28):
Harry Reid International in Vegas, La La X. Are you
kidding me? La Guardia? Oh my gosh, this is going
to be a disaster. The shoe we shut down, Oh
my gosh. But I'm sure they'll make an exception for
the fight the oligarchy planes they've That has got to
(26:49):
be prioritiz It's got to be a top priority. So
we'll watch that very very closely. Nancy Pelosi, by the way,
we learned, will not seek reelection, ending decades long House career.
She looked like she was endorsing Newsome over Kamala Harris
the other day. I think we told you about that.
What else do I have here? Oh my gosh. The
(27:11):
Schumer's shut down House Conservatives back new funding effort. I
mean it's that we're now up to fifteen fifteen times
that Democrats have rejected opening it. Sean Duffy warning the
ten percent of the weekend's flights are going to be
canceled just with this weekend. I got to get on
one of those flights. I'm getting out of here. I'm
not going to get trapped in New York. I have
(27:32):
to escape. Emboldened by their election, when Democrats vow to
continue their government shutdown, you know that's insane. Left wing
House Democrats threaten their Senate colleagues saying that they will
they will be hell to pay if they agree to
reopen the government. Well, they already voted for a continuing resolution.
You can't blame them. They just you know, and you
(27:54):
know a lot of people. Now, I'm just not getting
involved in the fight of the filibuster because you know,
there's no convincing anybody. It's not one of those issues.
Top Democrats celebrating Mamdonnie's win, but they don't really believe it.
David Hogg, remember him, the former DNC vice chair. No
other cities like New York. He said, the lesson that
we'll be learned here tonight is not every policy in
(28:16):
New York should be replicated around the country. Moving company
phone numbers for our New York New York listening audience.
As a public service to New York City, I wanted
to give out the phone numbers to some of the
more popular moving companies. If you'd like, We're going to
put it on Hannity dot Com, Allied Van Lines, American
(28:39):
Van Lines, Colonial Van Lines, Beckhan Van Lines, Chelsea U
Haul and just look up you Haul on Google and
find the location near you Google Maps. I don't think
that's a bad idea anyway. Eight hundred and nine four
one Shawn is a number we are in New York.
This is this is a special night for me and
(29:01):
I'm I'm being so serious. I'm so honored and grateful.
We are not a high Hollywood patting ourselves on the back. Well,
I have a little fun with that, but that's not
what this night is about. It's honoring people that do
incredibly courageous, brave, heroic things and never get recognition.
