Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All Right, News round up, Information overload, our eight hundred
and nine point one. Shawn is on number. You want
to be a part of the program. So the President
is moving full force to try to get this deal.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
In Europe done.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And now that the minerals deal has been signed with Ukraine, well,
now we have Vladimir Putin to deal with and the
question is whether or not he's serious. We will find
out this week because I know that there's going to
be sanctions bill that is going to be brought up
in the US Senate and we will talk to the
(00:39):
people involved in that later this week. Then we have
the issue of Iran and the President this weekend on
meet the press could not have been any more clear
that he wants a total dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program. Now,
the Iranians, they think they're clever, and they think they're tough,
and they think they're small. And they responded by announcing
(01:05):
that they have unveiled the new ballistic missile that they
say can hit US bases wherever they are, all right,
So they want to play the tough guy talk with
Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That's a bad bet for them. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I went over all these issues with Secretary of State
now NSA head as well, Marco Rubio, and this is
going to be a consequential week, as will next week
be a consequential week. We do have an announcement that
we'll have for you later in the week. Here's my
interview with Secretary of State Mark Rubio. Your wheelhouse has
always been foreign policy.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I've known you forever. This is what your passion, your
heart is here. These are consequential times.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
We've got Europe, We've got Russia, Ukraine, We've got the
Middle East, we have Iran, and then we have this,
you know, our number one geopolitical fot China.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Let's start in Europe. Let's start with Putin.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
You said this week may be the deciding week for him.
Clearly the minerals deal yesterday was a big win for
the for the President in the White House.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Where do we stand with Putin?
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Well, let's remind everybody this is not our war. I mean,
this is a war that started under Joe Biden. For
three years, it went on. They've made no effort to
sort of bring it to a conclusion. And it's a
war that has no military solution. In essence, Putin can't
take all of Ukraine. Ukraine can't push the Russians all
the way back.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
To where they were in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
And so the question here is who's the only leader
in the world that can talk to both sides and
hopefully bring him to a deal.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
And that's President Trump. And that's what he's tried to do.
For one hundred days.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
He has done efforts to bring about peace, to end
the killing, to end the dying, to end the destruction.
You know that Ukraine, it's going to cost hundreds of
billions of dollars to rebuild that country. And so the
President's tried, Look, we've gotten closer. We for the first time,
you know, we haven't known this for three years. We
kind of can see what it would take for Ukraine
to stop. We can see what it would take for
(02:49):
the Russians to stop. The problem is those two positions
are still a little far apart. And look, we're not
going to give up on it in the sense that
we're not going to be ready to help if we can.
But there does come a point where the President has
to decide how much more time at the highest levels
of our government do you dedicate it when maybe one
of the two sides are both aren't really close enough.
When we've got so many and I would argue even
(03:11):
more important issues going on around the world, Not that
a war in Ukraine is not important, but I would
say what's happening with China is more important than the
long term for the.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Future of the world.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Obviously Iran's nuclear ambition, you know, all these other things that.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
We have going on.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
So at some point in time, it either has to
be something that can happen we all need to move on.
That'll be a decision the president will have to make.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Yeah, well, I will say this, the consequences are really
dire in every situation that you're referring to.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Let me go back to Putin for one more second.
I mean the mineral deal.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
I don't think we can under I don't think we
can overstate how important that's going to be for Ukraine's security,
the relationship they will have now moving forward with the
United States. That's a big part of the puzzle. It's important,
I think for people to understand. In the four years
when Donald Trump was president from twenty seventeen until he
left office in twenty twenty one, no problems with Vladimir Putin.
(04:05):
But in twenty fourteen, eleven years ago, that's when Crimea
was annexed, when Joe Biden was president and Putin was
amassing troops on the border and military equipment on the border.
He's asked, well, what happens if he invades? Of course
he was going to invade. He said, well, it depends
if it's a minor incursion. And it makes you wonder
nobody ever dared to pick up a phone and even
(04:26):
attempt or try to stop it from happening. That to
me is unconscidable in your heart. Do you feel like
what you closed? I mean, you're in the middle of this.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Yeah, well, I'm glad you gave everybody that lesson, because
that's not it.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Did.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
It happen in twenty fourteen under a President Obama.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
But during that time, the.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Obama administration refused to provide the Ukrainians any military weapons.
They would provide him blankets and sheets and towels, and
they wouldn't give him weapons. Donald Trump, when he was
president the first time, provided them the weapons that actually
helped stop the Russian tanks from taking Kiev, even when
he was no longer in the White House a few
years later. This invasion would have never happened if Donald
(05:05):
Trump were in the White House, but it did.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
It happened after Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
It happened just a few months after the fiasco in Afghanistan.
And I think everyone realizes Putin saw that and said,
now's my time to go. I have a week president
under Joe Biden, and he went, and this war dragged
on for three years. Look you ask how close we are.
I think we know where Ukraine is, and we know
where Russia is right now and where Putin is. They're
still far apart. They're closer, but they're still far apart.
(05:30):
And it's going to take a real breakthrough here very
soon to make this possible. Or I think the President
is going to have to make a decision about how
much more time we're going to dedicate to this.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
And you're right about the minerals deal.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
It's good for America because we've invested a lot of
money in this war. It's also good for Ukraine because
it's going to help them be able to develop their
economy and rebuild when this war ends.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Well, they're going to need a lot of money to rebuild.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
They Okay, let's move to the Middle East and let's
move to what happens in Gaza. Can no longer remain
a launching pad for their missiles, famos missiles to be
fired into Israel.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
That we agree on.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I know the President has said, and you have said,
and Steve Whitkoff has said, everybody has said.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
The Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
The only reason they're closed is because Joe Biden put
a blind eye towards the sanctions that were bankrupting Iran.
As far as I'm concerned, however, they are closer.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Than they have ever been. To me, a deal with
the RAM would have to include the following.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Their enrichment would have to be stopped, the facilities shut
down by Americans. We would need anywhere, any place, anytime,
American inspectors, not international inspectors. Why in my heart of
hearts do I not believe that the mos of Iran
whatever agree to that? And do you agree that those
should be the conditions.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
If Iran wants a peaceful civil nuclear program, meaning they
want nuclear power plants like other countries in the world have,
there's a way to do it, and that is you
build the reactors, and you import enriched uranium to.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Fuel those reactors.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
That's how does the countries around the world do it.
The only countries in the world that in rich uranium
are the ones that have nuclear weapons. Iran is out.
They're claiming they don't want a weapon, but they would
be there. What they're basically asking is to be the
only non weapon country in the world that's enriching uranium.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
And the level at which they enrich it is really
not relevant per.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Se, because really, if you have the ability to enrich
at three point sixty seven percent, it only takes a
few weeks to get to twenty percent and then sixty
percent and then the eighty and ninety percent that you
need for a weapon, and so that really is the
path forward here. Iran simply needs to say we've agreed
to no longer and rich We're going to have reactors
because we want nuclear energy, and we're going to import
(07:37):
in enrich uranium. This is an opportunity for them if
they take it. This is and this is the best
opportunity they're going to have. President Trump is a president
of peace. He doesn't want a war, he doesn't want conflict.
None of us do and there's a path forward here,
but what cannot have the path to live in a
world where Iron has a nuclear weapon. The path forward
has been given to them, and now it's a matter
of whether or not they're going to take it. And
(07:58):
the President was very very clear he would lead the
effort to stop them from ever achieving that nuclear weapon,
and that would mean that statement was obvious in terms
of that he would use military force to destroy those facilities.
We have the capacity obviously to do it. But back
to this question, would we need American inspectors and Americans scientists.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
To shut it down?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
And would that have to be part of the deal
and anywhere, any place, anytime American inspectors would they have
to agree to that?
Speaker 6 (08:26):
In your mind, I think you would have to allow
Americans as part of you can send in it. Maybe
there will be French inspectors, there'll be Italian inspectors, they'll
be Saudis whoever. But I think you cannot basically say
we will not allow any Americans. You also have to
make sure if you really want to prevent a nuclear
program and you're not building a nuclear weapon, then you
should open all your facilities. You know, one of the
failures of the Biden I'm sorry of the Obama nuclear
(08:48):
deal with Iran, is that you could not inspect military sites. Well,
if you're making nuclear weapons, you would probably make them
on a military site. And by the way, it's been
known and discovered that in the past, Iran has had
a secret nuclear program that it did not.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Disclose to the world.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
So I think if in fact iron likes to say
they're not interested in nuclear weapons, they like to say
all they want is peaceful nuclear energy, then they should
not be afraid of inspections by inspectors of any kind,
including Americans.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
And look, there's a win here for Iran.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Okay, they can actually have real economic development, Okay, real
investment in their country. But they have to walk away
from sponsoring terrorists, they have to walk away from helping
the houthies, they have to walk away from building long
range missiles that have no purpose to exist other than
having nuclear weapons, and they have to walk away from enrichment.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
These are not unreasonable requests.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
There are countries all over the world that have nuclear
energy and don't enrich and don't have long range missiles
and don't sponsor terrorism.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
That path is there for them.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
It's the path of peace, and frankly, I pray and
hope and will do everything we can to hope convince
them that they should take it.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I have the same prayer that you do. And they
know what the consequences will be, and they will probably
lose their nuclear sites, they'll lose their refineries, and if
that's the case, that probably result in poverty and regime change.
Last question, China, You're right, I view them as you do,
as our top geopolitical foe. Things seem to be heated
(10:10):
in public. Are there anything's going on behind the scenes.
They give you some hope that hopefully, for example, on
trade and tariffs, we can come to some type of
agreement because they put tariffs on basically every American product,
and it's just they've been ripping us off forever they have.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
They've been ripping off the world. And look, yes there's
efforts so you can see that. Look, this is hurting
the Chinese economy. People forget that the factories are all
these shoes and shirts and clothing and all that stuff
that comes from China, those are all Chinese jobs. When
they say that the containers that the factories are not
going to be sending things to America. That means they're
out of a job. This is hurting the Chinese economy badly.
I think there's two questions. Can we reach some sort
(10:48):
of short term accommodation with them, that's what they want.
I mean, the Chinese are reaching out, they want to meet,
they want to talk. We've got people involved in that. Obviously,
Our Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen is involved in those efforts
and they're talking to come up soon. But I think
there's a broader question, and that is whether we shouldn't.
This is a wake up call that we truly need
to become a country that can make more things in
America and not be as dependent on China. We were
(11:11):
far too dependent on China. We allowed them, through unfair
trade practices, to deindustrialize US and to use not just terrorists,
but non tariff barriers, currency manipulation, you know, dumping.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
We've allowed him to use all of those things in
electual property theft and.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Stealing intellectual property and really left us de industrialized as
a country and heavily dependent on them. That's a very
dangerous place to be and President Trump is taking it
on and he's doing it now because it needs to
be done now.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
It cannot wait any longer. Two more years in.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
This direction and we are going to be in a
lot of trouble, really dependent on China. So I do
think there's this broader question about how much we should
buy from them at all.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Moving forward, quick break, right back, we'll get to your
phone calls and Jimmy Fala coming up. Oh, you have
a big announcement we're going to tell you about too.
Eight hundred and nine to four one Sea. If you
want to be a part of the program. This is
going to be announcements in one week, but the first
one with Jimmy fails. Straight ahead, get to our busy phones.
Eight hundred and nine four one Sewan, if you want
to be a part of the program. Kevin, Texas, God

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Kevin. What's going on?
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Yes, sir, thank you so much. Right, I don't I

(12:38):
Wallas tamp on, Tim, He's the King of all male Karens.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I mean, this is, this is the party that they
have become. It's just it is, it is so radicalized
and so out of touch. And I'm actually you know,
they don't understand or want to even understand, you know,
Donald Trump or what he's trying to do, or conservatives
(13:03):
conservatives or conservatives actually believe in. And they've got this
false caricature, false narrative that they all echo each other.
And meanwhile, the American people are rejecting it more and more.
I've never seen a party that has lost not only
all its confidence, it's lost its heart and its soul.
And they don't they and they've been taken over by radicals.
(13:24):
And then if you're not radical, you dare not speak
out against them, because if you do, you're going to
be ostracized. Well, anyway, appreciate Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna
move on, Kevin. I do appreciate the call. God bless Texas.
We have a minute. We got rock and Robin or
truck are from Texas. Rock and Robin, you got a minute.
It's all yours. Thank you for what you do every day.

Lot of.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
Face chatting on uh, we through our phones. We talked
several times a day. I call her every morning, or
she calls me every morning before she leaves for work,
and we pray, and we pray every evening. We talk,
you know, throughout the day when she's at lunch or
when she gets off work. And so we have a
(14:33):
very good relationship. I was a truck driver and when
she met me, she was a medical assistant. When I
met her. She don't try to change me. I don't
try to change her, she said, she don't care what
I do for a living, as long as it's legal
and the bills get paid.

Look, I just hope maybe you can get the right
gig and actually be with her a little bit more often.

didn't get to be in the military. This is how
I started my country as a truck driver.

(17:07):
I'm really excited about. I got to host the Patriot
Awards this year for the Fox News Channel. Had a
great time. We made it fun. We celebrate freedom and
fun at the same time. And I got to work
very very closely with my friend and colleague, Jimmy Fayla.
And Jimmy has maybe the most interesting life story of
(17:29):
all time. He used to be a New York City
cab driver. Now he has his own hit show on
Fox Saturday Nights with Jimmy Fayler. You don't ever want
to miss it, and we feature him on the program
for Kix and Giggles, just you know, the news is
pretty heavy.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You need to lighten it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And we've been talking about maybe kind of duplicating except
doing it differently. We watched like AOC and Bernie and
their big tour, and I'm like, I'm rolling my eyes
because it's bite the oligarchy and just rage and hatred
and misery and maybe the antidote to it. We've come
(18:06):
up with an idea and we've partnered with Fox Nation
and it's the Punchlines and Patriots Tour and we're very pleased, proud,
happy to announce our first two dates. And here to
help me do that is Jimmy Fayla himself. One is
going to be in clear Water and the second one
(18:26):
is going to be in Fort Lauderdale. Both will be
in Florida, and then we might do other stops around
the country. And it's called Punchlines and Patriots. We're gonna
make you laugh. We're not gonna sit there and bemoan
the loss of plastic straws and pollution as AOC and
Bernie fly around on their private jet for their fight
the Oligarchy Tour.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
How are you, sir?
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I'm better now. I'm so psited for this. But can
I make one comment about the Bernie thing and the
oligarchy thing? Yea, but he says the word oligarchy except
Joe Biden if he was doing a commercial for olive gardens.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
That's true, Markie.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
We've got free bread sticks and they'd be like cut
cut It's olive garden, Joe Biden. But yeah, is it?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Wherever are we going to go on this little tour
of ours? We have to just make sure there's either
a a waffle house or b an in and out
burger period end of sentence. Or I'll take a cracker barrel.
That's fine too.
Speaker 10 (19:19):
Yeah, no one has ever got I said this thing
a TV show The other night. No one has ever
gotten offended within twenty miles of a Cracker Barrel. You
can tell them any joke you want.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's absolutely true. You can't get offended. How can you
not love cracker Barrel? They have all the candy you
ever wanted when you were a kid, and all in
one place and you can buy it, and the best
down home you know, southern cooking you'd ever want, and
it's all great and things that I don't usually eat now,
But I got to lighten up when I'm on the road. Well,
(19:50):
I'm honored to announce this tour with you, and thanks
to Fox Nation, our partner in this. And it's called
Punchlines and Patriots. Why don't you tell everybody what this
is about.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
So Sean and I are gonna be down Starts in
Clearwater Saturday night, June twenty eighth, and then we'll be
in Fort Lauderdale June twenty ninth at the Broward Performing
Arts Center. We're gonna do a little bit of stand
up comedy. We're gonna take a live Q and A.
But the best thing we're going to give them, okay,
is access to this great thing we've built on this
Fox News media platform, which is a true connection with
(20:24):
the American people. Like when you think about what we represent. Okay,
you got one guy, Sean Hannity who hangs out at
the White House. You got another guy, Jimmy Fellow, who
hangs out at the White Castle. Okay, there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah here, wait a minute, but that's where I come from.
I still love White Castle. I can't pass a White
Castle without buying them.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Yeah. Fair, but I actually look like I get paid
in White Castle.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So I now you've been a little harsh on yourself here.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
I'm doing better. Okay, But the point is we're gonna
come out, We're gonna tell some wild jokes. And what
I'm excited about is I get to do stand up
every weekend. I host the stand up comedy show. I
am guinely just excited to watch your acts because I
was there at the Patriot Awards and I remember I
had to go on after you. And usually the Patriot
Awards is the easiest stand up gig of the year
because you're the only comic on the bill. You're going
(21:12):
to walk out there and you're gonna crush for five
minutes and leave. But you murdered. You did and I
want you to get credit for this because obviously it
made fun of like the Adam Shifts of the world,
and it was brilliant, but you actually did a bit.
I believe there was like a projector involved where you
portrayed Joe Biden wandering into the jungle looking for the
cannibals who ate his uncle.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
That's like, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So it's like, if we can't laugh at what the
hell has happened to these people? I mean, what's gone
on with the champion in the rights of Abrego Garcio,
the rights of men to play women's sports. That they're
upset and think we are a constitution at a constitutional
(21:54):
crisis because we're not giving green new deal DEI transition
gender money to every country on the face of the earth.
And just looking at Kamala makes me laugh when she giggles,
And to think she could have been president of our
country makes scares of the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
There's a lot to laugh at.
Speaker 10 (22:13):
I agree. The only upside to Kamala being president is
she would have that designated driver she needs.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Okay, that's all true driving a car.
Speaker 10 (22:23):
But one thing I want to talk about, punch on
the patries really quick, because this is the truth of
what we do, whether it's humor or commentary, is we
always talk about Trumps derangement syndrome. But we've gotten to
this place now where that's an excuse for people. It's
not a derangement syndrome. They're just stupid, okay, And we're
going to show up and we're going to make fun
(22:43):
of some stupid people. If you're trying to protect the
rights of migrant gangbangers, you're stupid. That's a derangement, would
be an excuse. I can't let you get away with
it anymore. You know, if you think Kamala should have
been the president. Kamala was telling an elephant story the
other day, like talk about putting the dumb in Dumbo, okay,
and we really were at the precipice as you well
(23:05):
think that was a good idea. Our job is to restore,
you know, when you talk about law and order, But
there's something to be said for like conversational law in order.
And we're going to get out on the road and
we're going to make fun of stupid people. And we
should all be able to unify around the fact that
there is a specific segment of the population that's weapons
(23:26):
grade stupid. Scientists. Actually have a word for them. They're
called liberals, and we're going to talk about them, and
we're going to have a nice time in clear Water
in Fort Lauderdale. Dang it.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
And I'm excited to do it with you because you're
like you are the funniest guy.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Now, well, people may not know about you as your background.
You grew up, you know, like we have very similar
backgrounds how we grew up. But then you became a
cab driver, and I think you fine tuned your humor
and your act while being a cab driver. And that's
because I mean, it's a crazy job for people in
New York City, that's and none of his job in
(24:00):
the world. And and out of that, you know, came
all of this success. You sell out, you know, these
these arenas and halls all around the country and you
do it. And I just deminuted, I'm not gonna compete
with you. In terms of trying to be a stand
up comic. I have my own little routine. But that's
why it's punchlines and patriots. It's gonna be in a
(24:22):
nice mix of both.
Speaker 10 (24:24):
It's gonna be everything. It is. It is so exciting.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I try to stand toe to toe with you on
the humor part, I'm gonna get killed.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
You wanna know something, Hannity, You just you know enough
politicians that you're doing the old lower expectations. You're gonna
crush and you're just roping me into this. Everyone's gonna go.
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I'm not roping you into anything. I'm just this is
your profession. You make people laugh. You throw out a
joke every five seconds. I mean to me, you're right
up there with I don't know Chappelle and Chris Rock.
I watch on stage and oh my gosh, some of
the jokes you tell have to be edited out.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I could see it already.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
We're gonna play it. We're going to play clean ball
because you're there and you're a much classier broadcaster than
I am, so we're going to play to the editorial
guidelines of the Hannity Show. I'm convinced, honestly by the way,
that the reason you have me on your TV show
twice a week is to hear me say the things
you want to say, but you can't say them because
you're showing Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And I usually put a disclaimer in there. I'm not
responsible for the things that Jimmy Fellows saying on the
show tonight. I have no idea of no pre advanced warning.
All right, So I want people to come. And for example,
it's going to be what is it the Ruth Eckerd
Hall in Clearwater.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Yep, June twenty eighth, down in clear Water, Ruth Eckert
and June twenty Fort Lauderdale.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, sorry, okay, And now my understanding is the tickets
will fully be on sale Friday, but there's VIP tickets
you guys are putting up for sale today.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
Yeah, so the people who are members of these two
theaters have VIP access and they can buy tickets today.
The reason me and you are announcing this today the
tickets go on sale Friday, May ninth, is we want
everybody to have the same level of access. We're not
doing a show that's a million dollars to get into.
We're doing a show for the people, and we don't
(26:12):
want to be doing a show full of elites. We
want to be doing a show full of people like
us who bust their butts all day to make things
work and who get it. You know. That's what we're
that's what we're after here. It's it's a weird like
do you remember the old TV show Scared Straight where
they take a mountain.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Oh, I love that show, loved it, and they they'd
lock them in.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
A classroom with some ex con who'd scream at the
kid until he got his life together. Okay, we're doing
a funny Scared Straight for America.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
We're bay we better get our act together as we
screwed we did on November fifth.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I mean that that's why.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I mean I watched I've been watching these people on
tour and I'm like, this is like the the let's
make America depressed to fight the oligarchy. Then you find
out they're lying around on their private jet to get there.
I'm like, oh, okay, this is this that's the jokes
on us, right. But I'm just telling you, this is
a time that Americans that I like mind that Americans
(27:10):
should celebrate because we're transforming government in every good way
and we won, and you know what, it's time to
celebrate the win and the success. And look does everything
the president's doing is hard, but it's going to be
good for the country in the end. And we've needed
this shock to our system for a long time.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
Yep. And if you guys come to the show and
give us a list of people you'd like us to
place in the new, reopened Alcatraz, we'll give it to
the president.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Oh you read about that that I did you?
Speaker 10 (27:42):
I love I loved that so much. And you want
to know why it matters though, really quick is because
it does send a message. I mean, it would largely
be a symbolic thing, okay, but if they got it open, great,
But then we're sending the right message to aspiring criminals
who want to come here. Yes, we're not only not
letting you in now, but if you do get in,
we're either sending you back or locking you up in
(28:05):
the most high profile way imaginable. It's time to stop
having empathy for the criminals. That was the problem with
the last administration. It's like Sean, we all grew up
playing two games in the backyard. We played either cops
and robbers or cowboys and Elizabeth warrens. Okay, those were
the games. Yeah, we always knowing cops and robbers, Cops good,
robbers bad. Okay. We need to get back to that
(28:27):
mindset as a country. And I think the people coming
to see us are already in that mindset. But that's
kind of what you're looking forward to. We are restoring
order in America.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Well, we're not really restoring order because Biden is going
to be on the View this week and the Democrats
are keeping the door open for Kamala Harrison twenty twenty eight,
which I love.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
But to be clear, you know, Kamala thinks he's running
in twenty twenty eight. Okay, Biden thinks he's running in
nineteen ninety two. Okay. The point is neither one of
them have any shot at this thing. But I love
that his wife. Can you just let the guy be already?
Jill Biden like she was beating him up in office
and making him go through themotions like how dare you
drag him onto the View? Which you and I make
(29:11):
fun of. But it is the highest streaming show in
Guantanamo Bay. You know, they're watching it in place of
waterboarding in the modern era, so there is that. But
I mean, oh my gosh, I know, but between him
and Kamala, what did the American people do to deserve that?
You know, it's we've been through things. You've been through depressions,
We've been through recessions, but we've never been through a
(29:31):
dementia day drunk presidency. One guy didn't know it.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
No, we have not. I honestly think I have PTSD
when I think about it. When I heard Kamala last week,
I literally it shocked my system.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
But this is going to be a fun event. I am.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I really really enjoy meeting the people that make our
lives possible. I hope people will come. We put it
up on all handedy social media. It's on the top
right now. If you go and hand two dates only
June twenty eighth. That's gonna be in Clearwater, Florida, June
twenty ninth. It's a Saturday and a Sunday night the
Broward Center for Performing Arts. Tickets fully go on sale Friday.
(30:14):
You can get if you're a theater member tickets now.
The link will be there and Jimmy Fayla, You're gonna
make me laugh and we get to hang out with
great Americans. I wonder if protesters will show up, that'll
be awesome.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
We better get at least one or two. Yeah, I'm
kind of banking on that, right, I'm.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Banking on somebody saying, hey, you know, not going to
be dragged out of the hall. That's always fun. Had
I've had that happen a few times in my career too, Jimmy.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
See well, listen, I've had a couple of good hecklers.
But that's my favorite thing about a good heckler is that,
you see, we showed up prepared to talk. The heckler
did it. So if you let them talk, you just
give them a little rope. They run out a good
ideas real quick, and then you turn the That's my
favorite thing about him. So, yes, if you know a
potential heckler, buy them a ticket. Please. I actually want
(31:06):
to watch this.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It's all right, Yeah, come out during the Jimmy Fayal
abortion looking forward to it. June twenty eight, twenty ninth,
Hannity dot Com for tickets, Yes, sir, looking forward to
a punchlines Patriots
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All Right, News round up, Information overload, our eight hundred
and nine point one. Shawn is on number. You want
to be a part of the program. So the President
is moving full force to try to get this deal.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
In Europe done.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And now that the minerals deal has been signed with Ukraine, well,
now we have Vladimir Putin to deal with and the
question is whether or not he's serious. We will find
out this week because I know that there's going to
be sanctions bill that is going to be brought up
in the US Senate and we will talk to the
(00:39):
people involved in that later this week. Then we have
the issue of Iran and the President this weekend on
meet the press could not have been any more clear
that he wants a total dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program. Now,
the Iranians, they think they're clever, and they think they're tough,
and they think they're small. And they responded by announcing
(01:05):
that they have unveiled the new ballistic missile that they
say can hit US bases wherever they are, all right,
So they want to play the tough guy talk with
Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That's a bad bet for them. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I went over all these issues with Secretary of State
now NSA head as well, Marco Rubio, and this is
going to be a consequential week, as will next week
be a consequential week. We do have an announcement that
we'll have for you later in the week. Here's my
interview with Secretary of State Mark Rubio. Your wheelhouse has
always been foreign policy.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I've known you forever. This is what your passion, your
heart is here. These are consequential times.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
We've got Europe, We've got Russia, Ukraine, We've got the
Middle East, we have Iran, and then we have this,
you know, our number one geopolitical fot China.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Let's start in Europe. Let's start with Putin.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
You said this week may be the deciding week for him.
Clearly the minerals deal yesterday was a big win for
the for the President in the White House.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Where do we stand with Putin?
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Well, let's remind everybody this is not our war. I mean,
this is a war that started under Joe Biden. For
three years, it went on. They've made no effort to
sort of bring it to a conclusion. And it's a
war that has no military solution. In essence, Putin can't
take all of Ukraine. Ukraine can't push the Russians all
the way back.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
To where they were in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
And so the question here is who's the only leader
in the world that can talk to both sides and
hopefully bring him to a deal.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
And that's President Trump. And that's what he's tried to do.
For one hundred days.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
He has done efforts to bring about peace, to end
the killing, to end the dying, to end the destruction.
You know that Ukraine, it's going to cost hundreds of
billions of dollars to rebuild that country. And so the
President's tried, Look, we've gotten closer. We for the first time,
you know, we haven't known this for three years. We
kind of can see what it would take for Ukraine
to stop. We can see what it would take for
(02:49):
the Russians to stop. The problem is those two positions
are still a little far apart. And look, we're not
going to give up on it in the sense that
we're not going to be ready to help if we can.
But there does come a point where the President has
to decide how much more time at the highest levels
of our government do you dedicate it when maybe one
of the two sides are both aren't really close enough.
When we've got so many and I would argue even
(03:11):
more important issues going on around the world, Not that
a war in Ukraine is not important, but I would
say what's happening with China is more important than the
long term for the.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Future of the world.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Obviously Iran's nuclear ambition, you know, all these other things that.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
We have going on.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
So at some point in time, it either has to
be something that can happen we all need to move on.
That'll be a decision the president will have to make.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Yeah, well, I will say this, the consequences are really
dire in every situation that you're referring to.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Let me go back to Putin for one more second.
I mean the mineral deal.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
I don't think we can under I don't think we
can overstate how important that's going to be for Ukraine's security,
the relationship they will have now moving forward with the
United States. That's a big part of the puzzle. It's important,
I think for people to understand. In the four years
when Donald Trump was president from twenty seventeen until he
left office in twenty twenty one, no problems with Vladimir Putin.
(04:05):
But in twenty fourteen, eleven years ago, that's when Crimea
was annexed, when Joe Biden was president and Putin was
amassing troops on the border and military equipment on the border.
He's asked, well, what happens if he invades? Of course
he was going to invade. He said, well, it depends
if it's a minor incursion. And it makes you wonder
nobody ever dared to pick up a phone and even
(04:26):
attempt or try to stop it from happening. That to
me is unconscidable in your heart. Do you feel like
what you closed? I mean, you're in the middle of this.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Yeah, well, I'm glad you gave everybody that lesson, because
that's not it.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Did.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
It happen in twenty fourteen under a President Obama.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
But during that time, the.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Obama administration refused to provide the Ukrainians any military weapons.
They would provide him blankets and sheets and towels, and
they wouldn't give him weapons. Donald Trump, when he was
president the first time, provided them the weapons that actually
helped stop the Russian tanks from taking Kiev, even when
he was no longer in the White House a few
years later. This invasion would have never happened if Donald
(05:05):
Trump were in the White House, but it did.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
It happened after Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
It happened just a few months after the fiasco in Afghanistan.
And I think everyone realizes Putin saw that and said,
now's my time to go. I have a week president
under Joe Biden, and he went, and this war dragged
on for three years. Look you ask how close we are.
I think we know where Ukraine is, and we know
where Russia is right now and where Putin is. They're
still far apart. They're closer, but they're still far apart.
(05:30):
And it's going to take a real breakthrough here very
soon to make this possible. Or I think the President
is going to have to make a decision about how
much more time we're going to dedicate to this.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
And you're right about the minerals deal.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
It's good for America because we've invested a lot of
money in this war. It's also good for Ukraine because
it's going to help them be able to develop their
economy and rebuild when this war ends.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Well, they're going to need a lot of money to rebuild.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
They Okay, let's move to the Middle East and let's
move to what happens in Gaza. Can no longer remain
a launching pad for their missiles, famos missiles to be
fired into Israel.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
That we agree on.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I know the President has said, and you have said,
and Steve Whitkoff has said, everybody has said.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
The Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
The only reason they're closed is because Joe Biden put
a blind eye towards the sanctions that were bankrupting Iran.
As far as I'm concerned, however, they are closer.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Than they have ever been. To me, a deal with
the RAM would have to include the following.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Their enrichment would have to be stopped, the facilities shut
down by Americans. We would need anywhere, any place, anytime,
American inspectors, not international inspectors. Why in my heart of
hearts do I not believe that the mos of Iran
whatever agree to that? And do you agree that those
should be the conditions.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
If Iran wants a peaceful civil nuclear program, meaning they
want nuclear power plants like other countries in the world have,
there's a way to do it, and that is you
build the reactors, and you import enriched uranium to.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Fuel those reactors.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
That's how does the countries around the world do it.
The only countries in the world that in rich uranium
are the ones that have nuclear weapons. Iran is out.
They're claiming they don't want a weapon, but they would
be there. What they're basically asking is to be the
only non weapon country in the world that's enriching uranium.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
And the level at which they enrich it is really
not relevant per.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Se, because really, if you have the ability to enrich
at three point sixty seven percent, it only takes a
few weeks to get to twenty percent and then sixty
percent and then the eighty and ninety percent that you
need for a weapon, and so that really is the
path forward here. Iran simply needs to say we've agreed
to no longer and rich We're going to have reactors
because we want nuclear energy, and we're going to import
(07:37):
in enrich uranium. This is an opportunity for them if
they take it. This is and this is the best
opportunity they're going to have. President Trump is a president
of peace. He doesn't want a war, he doesn't want conflict.
None of us do and there's a path forward here,
but what cannot have the path to live in a
world where Iron has a nuclear weapon. The path forward
has been given to them, and now it's a matter
of whether or not they're going to take it. And
(07:58):
the President was very very clear he would lead the
effort to stop them from ever achieving that nuclear weapon,
and that would mean that statement was obvious in terms
of that he would use military force to destroy those facilities.
We have the capacity obviously to do it. But back
to this question, would we need American inspectors and Americans scientists.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
To shut it down?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
And would that have to be part of the deal
and anywhere, any place, anytime American inspectors would they have
to agree to that?
Speaker 6 (08:26):
In your mind, I think you would have to allow
Americans as part of you can send in it. Maybe
there will be French inspectors, there'll be Italian inspectors, they'll
be Saudis whoever. But I think you cannot basically say
we will not allow any Americans. You also have to
make sure if you really want to prevent a nuclear
program and you're not building a nuclear weapon, then you
should open all your facilities. You know, one of the
failures of the Biden I'm sorry of the Obama nuclear
(08:48):
deal with Iran, is that you could not inspect military sites. Well,
if you're making nuclear weapons, you would probably make them
on a military site. And by the way, it's been
known and discovered that in the past, Iran has had
a secret nuclear program that it did not.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Disclose to the world.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
So I think if in fact iron likes to say
they're not interested in nuclear weapons, they like to say
all they want is peaceful nuclear energy, then they should
not be afraid of inspections by inspectors of any kind,
including Americans.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
And look, there's a win here for Iran.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Okay, they can actually have real economic development, Okay, real
investment in their country. But they have to walk away
from sponsoring terrorists, they have to walk away from helping
the houthies, they have to walk away from building long
range missiles that have no purpose to exist other than
having nuclear weapons, and they have to walk away from enrichment.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
These are not unreasonable requests.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
There are countries all over the world that have nuclear
energy and don't enrich and don't have long range missiles
and don't sponsor terrorism.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
That path is there for them.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
It's the path of peace, and frankly, I pray and
hope and will do everything we can to hope convince
them that they should take it.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I have the same prayer that you do. And they
know what the consequences will be, and they will probably
lose their nuclear sites, they'll lose their refineries, and if
that's the case, that probably result in poverty and regime change.
Last question, China, You're right, I view them as you do,
as our top geopolitical foe. Things seem to be heated
(10:10):
in public. Are there anything's going on behind the scenes.
They give you some hope that hopefully, for example, on
trade and tariffs, we can come to some type of
agreement because they put tariffs on basically every American product,
and it's just they've been ripping us off forever they have.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
They've been ripping off the world. And look, yes there's
efforts so you can see that. Look, this is hurting
the Chinese economy. People forget that the factories are all
these shoes and shirts and clothing and all that stuff
that comes from China, those are all Chinese jobs. When
they say that the containers that the factories are not
going to be sending things to America. That means they're
out of a job. This is hurting the Chinese economy badly.
I think there's two questions. Can we reach some sort
(10:48):
of short term accommodation with them, that's what they want.
I mean, the Chinese are reaching out, they want to meet,
they want to talk. We've got people involved in that. Obviously,
Our Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen is involved in those efforts
and they're talking to come up soon. But I think
there's a broader question, and that is whether we shouldn't.
This is a wake up call that we truly need
to become a country that can make more things in
America and not be as dependent on China. We were
(11:11):
far too dependent on China. We allowed them, through unfair
trade practices, to deindustrialize US and to use not just terrorists,
but non tariff barriers, currency manipulation, you know, dumping.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
We've allowed him to use all of those things in
electual property theft and.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Stealing intellectual property and really left us de industrialized as
a country and heavily dependent on them. That's a very
dangerous place to be and President Trump is taking it
on and he's doing it now because it needs to
be done now.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
It cannot wait any longer. Two more years in.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
This direction and we are going to be in a
lot of trouble, really dependent on China. So I do
think there's this broader question about how much we should
buy from them at all.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Moving forward, quick break, right back, we'll get to your
phone calls and Jimmy Fala coming up. Oh, you have
a big announcement we're going to tell you about too.
Eight hundred and nine to four one Sea. If you
want to be a part of the program. This is
going to be announcements in one week, but the first
one with Jimmy fails. Straight ahead, get to our busy phones.
Eight hundred and nine four one Sewan, if you want
to be a part of the program. Kevin, Texas, God
(12:10):
bless Texas.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Kevin. What's going on?
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Yes, sir, thank you so much. Right, I don't I
don't see today who is cool in the Democratic Party?
That they're all a bunch of Karens, you know, Connas,
Karen aoc mom Jeans, Karen whoopee, Karen Anna Davarro know
it all, Karen Sonny Holstein, high maintenance, Karen, Tim, Tim
(12:38):
Wallas tamp on, Tim, He's the King of all male Karens.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I mean, this is, this is the party that they
have become. It's just it is, it is so radicalized
and so out of touch. And I'm actually you know,
they don't understand or want to even understand, you know,
Donald Trump or what he's trying to do, or conservatives
(13:03):
conservatives or conservatives actually believe in. And they've got this
false caricature, false narrative that they all echo each other.
And meanwhile, the American people are rejecting it more and more.
I've never seen a party that has lost not only
all its confidence, it's lost its heart and its soul.
And they don't they and they've been taken over by radicals.
(13:24):
And then if you're not radical, you dare not speak
out against them, because if you do, you're going to
be ostracized. Well, anyway, appreciate Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna
move on, Kevin. I do appreciate the call. God bless Texas.
We have a minute. We got rock and Robin or
truck are from Texas. Rock and Robin, you got a minute.
It's all yours. Thank you for what you do every day.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Oh, thank you, Sean. I'm sitting up here in Illinois
right now, I go home literally one weekend in a.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Month, and uh that's hard.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Yeah, Well I have an amazing life now and we'll
be married sixteen years come just July.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
And you never see her unless she goes on the
road with you.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Well, we do a.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Lot of.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
Face chatting on uh, we through our phones. We talked
several times a day. I call her every morning, or
she calls me every morning before she leaves for work,
and we pray, and we pray every evening. We talk,
you know, throughout the day when she's at lunch or
when she gets off work. And so we have a
(14:33):
very good relationship. I was a truck driver and when
she met me, she was a medical assistant. When I
met her. She don't try to change me. I don't
try to change her, she said, she don't care what
I do for a living, as long as it's legal
and the bills get paid.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Look, I just hope maybe you can get the right
gig and actually be with her a little bit more often.
It sounds like, you know, it's Look, it works for you.
I'm happy for you, but it sounds a little rough.
Rock and Robin, I'm just out of time, but I'll
tell you what. We're gonna get your number. We'll call
you back on another day and we'd love to talk
(15:09):
to you more at length.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Does that work for you all right?
Speaker 9 (15:12):
Yes, sir. And the way I see it is I
didn't get to be in the military. This is how
I started my country as a truck driver.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Well, you fill our shelves with the stuff that we
need to survive. So I can't thank you enough of
what you do every day.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Man, Thank you, Sean Hannity, always concern for our country,

(17:07):
I'm really excited about. I got to host the Patriot
Awards this year for the Fox News Channel. Had a
great time. We made it fun. We celebrate freedom and
fun at the same time. And I got to work
very very closely with my friend and colleague, Jimmy Fayla.
And Jimmy has maybe the most interesting life story of
(17:29):
all time. He used to be a New York City
cab driver. Now he has his own hit show on
Fox Saturday Nights with Jimmy Fayler. You don't ever want
to miss it, and we feature him on the program
for Kix and Giggles, just you know, the news is
pretty heavy.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You need to lighten it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And we've been talking about maybe kind of duplicating except
doing it differently. We watched like AOC and Bernie and
their big tour, and I'm like, I'm rolling my eyes
because it's bite the oligarchy and just rage and hatred
and misery and maybe the antidote to it. We've come
(18:06):
up with an idea and we've partnered with Fox Nation
and it's the Punchlines and Patriots Tour and we're very pleased, proud,
happy to announce our first two dates. And here to
help me do that is Jimmy Fayla himself. One is
going to be in clear Water and the second one
(18:26):
is going to be in Fort Lauderdale. Both will be
in Florida, and then we might do other stops around
the country. And it's called Punchlines and Patriots. We're gonna
make you laugh. We're not gonna sit there and bemoan
the loss of plastic straws and pollution as AOC and
Bernie fly around on their private jet for their fight
the Oligarchy Tour.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
How are you, sir?
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I'm better now. I'm so psited for this. But can
I make one comment about the Bernie thing and the
oligarchy thing? Yea, but he says the word oligarchy except
Joe Biden if he was doing a commercial for olive gardens.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
That's true, Markie.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
We've got free bread sticks and they'd be like cut
cut It's olive garden, Joe Biden. But yeah, is it?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Wherever are we going to go on this little tour
of ours? We have to just make sure there's either
a a waffle house or b an in and out
burger period end of sentence. Or I'll take a cracker barrel.
That's fine too.
Speaker 10 (19:19):
Yeah, no one has ever got I said this thing
a TV show The other night. No one has ever
gotten offended within twenty miles of a Cracker Barrel. You
can tell them any joke you want.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's absolutely true. You can't get offended. How can you
not love cracker Barrel? They have all the candy you
ever wanted when you were a kid, and all in
one place and you can buy it, and the best
down home you know, southern cooking you'd ever want, and
it's all great and things that I don't usually eat now,
But I got to lighten up when I'm on the road. Well,
(19:50):
I'm honored to announce this tour with you, and thanks
to Fox Nation, our partner in this. And it's called
Punchlines and Patriots. Why don't you tell everybody what this
is about.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
So Sean and I are gonna be down Starts in
Clearwater Saturday night, June twenty eighth, and then we'll be
in Fort Lauderdale June twenty ninth at the Broward Performing
Arts Center. We're gonna do a little bit of stand
up comedy. We're gonna take a live Q and A.
But the best thing we're going to give them, okay,
is access to this great thing we've built on this
Fox News media platform, which is a true connection with
(20:24):
the American people. Like when you think about what we represent. Okay,
you got one guy, Sean Hannity who hangs out at
the White House. You got another guy, Jimmy Fellow, who
hangs out at the White Castle. Okay, there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah here, wait a minute, but that's where I come from.
I still love White Castle. I can't pass a White
Castle without buying them.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Yeah. Fair, but I actually look like I get paid
in White Castle.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So I now you've been a little harsh on yourself here.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
I'm doing better. Okay, But the point is we're gonna
come out, We're gonna tell some wild jokes. And what
I'm excited about is I get to do stand up
every weekend. I host the stand up comedy show. I
am guinely just excited to watch your acts because I
was there at the Patriot Awards and I remember I
had to go on after you. And usually the Patriot
Awards is the easiest stand up gig of the year
because you're the only comic on the bill. You're going
(21:12):
to walk out there and you're gonna crush for five
minutes and leave. But you murdered. You did and I
want you to get credit for this because obviously it
made fun of like the Adam Shifts of the world,
and it was brilliant, but you actually did a bit.
I believe there was like a projector involved where you
portrayed Joe Biden wandering into the jungle looking for the
cannibals who ate his uncle.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
That's like, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So it's like, if we can't laugh at what the
hell has happened to these people? I mean, what's gone
on with the champion in the rights of Abrego Garcio,
the rights of men to play women's sports. That they're
upset and think we are a constitution at a constitutional
(21:54):
crisis because we're not giving green new deal DEI transition
gender money to every country on the face of the earth.
And just looking at Kamala makes me laugh when she giggles,
And to think she could have been president of our
country makes scares of the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
There's a lot to laugh at.
Speaker 10 (22:13):
I agree. The only upside to Kamala being president is
she would have that designated driver she needs.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Okay, that's all true driving a car.
Speaker 10 (22:23):
But one thing I want to talk about, punch on
the patries really quick, because this is the truth of
what we do, whether it's humor or commentary, is we
always talk about Trumps derangement syndrome. But we've gotten to
this place now where that's an excuse for people. It's
not a derangement syndrome. They're just stupid, okay, And we're
going to show up and we're going to make fun
(22:43):
of some stupid people. If you're trying to protect the
rights of migrant gangbangers, you're stupid. That's a derangement, would
be an excuse. I can't let you get away with
it anymore. You know, if you think Kamala should have
been the president. Kamala was telling an elephant story the
other day, like talk about putting the dumb in Dumbo, okay,
and we really were at the precipice as you well
(23:05):
think that was a good idea. Our job is to restore,
you know, when you talk about law and order, But
there's something to be said for like conversational law in order.
And we're going to get out on the road and
we're going to make fun of stupid people. And we
should all be able to unify around the fact that
there is a specific segment of the population that's weapons
(23:26):
grade stupid. Scientists. Actually have a word for them. They're
called liberals, and we're going to talk about them, and
we're going to have a nice time in clear Water
in Fort Lauderdale. Dang it.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
And I'm excited to do it with you because you're
like you are the funniest guy.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Now, well, people may not know about you as your background.
You grew up, you know, like we have very similar
backgrounds how we grew up. But then you became a
cab driver, and I think you fine tuned your humor
and your act while being a cab driver. And that's
because I mean, it's a crazy job for people in
New York City, that's and none of his job in
(24:00):
the world. And and out of that, you know, came
all of this success. You sell out, you know, these
these arenas and halls all around the country and you
do it. And I just deminuted, I'm not gonna compete
with you. In terms of trying to be a stand
up comic. I have my own little routine. But that's
why it's punchlines and patriots. It's gonna be in a
(24:22):
nice mix of both.
Speaker 10 (24:24):
It's gonna be everything. It is. It is so exciting.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I try to stand toe to toe with you on
the humor part, I'm gonna get killed.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
You wanna know something, Hannity, You just you know enough
politicians that you're doing the old lower expectations. You're gonna
crush and you're just roping me into this. Everyone's gonna go.
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I'm not roping you into anything. I'm just this is
your profession. You make people laugh. You throw out a
joke every five seconds. I mean to me, you're right
up there with I don't know Chappelle and Chris Rock.
I watch on stage and oh my gosh, some of
the jokes you tell have to be edited out.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I could see it already.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
We're gonna play it. We're going to play clean ball
because you're there and you're a much classier broadcaster than
I am, so we're going to play to the editorial
guidelines of the Hannity Show. I'm convinced, honestly by the way,
that the reason you have me on your TV show
twice a week is to hear me say the things
you want to say, but you can't say them because
you're showing Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And I usually put a disclaimer in there. I'm not
responsible for the things that Jimmy Fellows saying on the
show tonight. I have no idea of no pre advanced warning.
All right, So I want people to come. And for example,
it's going to be what is it the Ruth Eckerd
Hall in Clearwater.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Yep, June twenty eighth, down in clear Water, Ruth Eckert
and June twenty Fort Lauderdale.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, sorry, okay, And now my understanding is the tickets
will fully be on sale Friday, but there's VIP tickets
you guys are putting up for sale today.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
Yeah, so the people who are members of these two
theaters have VIP access and they can buy tickets today.
The reason me and you are announcing this today the
tickets go on sale Friday, May ninth, is we want
everybody to have the same level of access. We're not
doing a show that's a million dollars to get into.
We're doing a show for the people, and we don't
(26:12):
want to be doing a show full of elites. We
want to be doing a show full of people like
us who bust their butts all day to make things
work and who get it. You know. That's what we're
that's what we're after here. It's it's a weird like
do you remember the old TV show Scared Straight where
they take a mountain.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Oh, I love that show, loved it, and they they'd
lock them in.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
A classroom with some ex con who'd scream at the
kid until he got his life together. Okay, we're doing
a funny Scared Straight for America.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
We're bay we better get our act together as we
screwed we did on November fifth.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I mean that that's why.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I mean I watched I've been watching these people on
tour and I'm like, this is like the the let's
make America depressed to fight the oligarchy. Then you find
out they're lying around on their private jet to get there.
I'm like, oh, okay, this is this that's the jokes
on us, right. But I'm just telling you, this is
a time that Americans that I like mind that Americans
(27:10):
should celebrate because we're transforming government in every good way
and we won, and you know what, it's time to
celebrate the win and the success. And look does everything
the president's doing is hard, but it's going to be
good for the country in the end. And we've needed
this shock to our system for a long time.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
Yep. And if you guys come to the show and
give us a list of people you'd like us to
place in the new, reopened Alcatraz, we'll give it to
the president.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Oh you read about that that I did you?
Speaker 10 (27:42):
I love I loved that so much. And you want
to know why it matters though, really quick is because
it does send a message. I mean, it would largely
be a symbolic thing, okay, but if they got it open, great,
But then we're sending the right message to aspiring criminals
who want to come here. Yes, we're not only not
letting you in now, but if you do get in,
we're either sending you back or locking you up in
(28:05):
the most high profile way imaginable. It's time to stop
having empathy for the criminals. That was the problem with
the last administration. It's like Sean, we all grew up
playing two games in the backyard. We played either cops
and robbers or cowboys and Elizabeth warrens. Okay, those were
the games. Yeah, we always knowing cops and robbers, Cops good,
robbers bad. Okay. We need to get back to that
(28:27):
mindset as a country. And I think the people coming
to see us are already in that mindset. But that's
kind of what you're looking forward to. We are restoring
order in America.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Well, we're not really restoring order because Biden is going
to be on the View this week and the Democrats
are keeping the door open for Kamala Harrison twenty twenty eight,
which I love.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
But to be clear, you know, Kamala thinks he's running
in twenty twenty eight. Okay, Biden thinks he's running in
nineteen ninety two. Okay. The point is neither one of
them have any shot at this thing. But I love
that his wife. Can you just let the guy be already?
Jill Biden like she was beating him up in office
and making him go through themotions like how dare you
drag him onto the View? Which you and I make
(29:11):
fun of. But it is the highest streaming show in
Guantanamo Bay. You know, they're watching it in place of
waterboarding in the modern era, so there is that. But
I mean, oh my gosh, I know, but between him
and Kamala, what did the American people do to deserve that?
You know, it's we've been through things. You've been through depressions,
We've been through recessions, but we've never been through a
(29:31):
dementia day drunk presidency. One guy didn't know it.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
No, we have not. I honestly think I have PTSD
when I think about it. When I heard Kamala last week,
I literally it shocked my system.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
But this is going to be a fun event. I am.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I really really enjoy meeting the people that make our
lives possible. I hope people will come. We put it
up on all handedy social media. It's on the top
right now. If you go and hand two dates only
June twenty eighth. That's gonna be in Clearwater, Florida, June
twenty ninth. It's a Saturday and a Sunday night the
Broward Center for Performing Arts. Tickets fully go on sale Friday.
(30:14):
You can get if you're a theater member tickets now.
The link will be there and Jimmy Fayla, You're gonna
make me laugh and we get to hang out with
great Americans. I wonder if protesters will show up, that'll
be awesome.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
We better get at least one or two. Yeah, I'm
kind of banking on that, right, I'm.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Banking on somebody saying, hey, you know, not going to
be dragged out of the hall. That's always fun. Had
I've had that happen a few times in my career too, Jimmy.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
See well, listen, I've had a couple of good hecklers.
But that's my favorite thing about a good heckler is that,
you see, we showed up prepared to talk. The heckler
did it. So if you let them talk, you just
give them a little rope. They run out a good
ideas real quick, and then you turn the That's my
favorite thing about him. So, yes, if you know a
potential heckler, buy them a ticket. Please. I actually want
(31:06):
to watch this.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It's all right, Yeah, come out during the Jimmy Fayal
abortion looking forward to it. June twenty eight, twenty ninth,
Hannity dot Com for tickets, Yes, sir, looking forward to
