Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, news, round up, information, overload our Sean Hannity Show.

(00:02):
We need a little fun on a Friday, we just do.
It's a These are tough days anyway, Forty six days
till Election Day. Best election coverage available on your radio dial.
I don't even know. I'm kind of torn on admitting
this publicly, but it's true. So I always tell my
audience the truth. But I happen to be really really

(00:23):
good friends with Stephen A. And my son is a
sports nut. Loves sports, I mean Saturday Sunday. I can't
get in touch with my son unless I'm writing him
about football, because that's all that's His entire life is
devoted to college in pro football and anyway. So one
day I was with my son and he didn't know
that we were close friends, and he said, yeah, I

(00:44):
could call him right now. He said, no way. Now.
I don't think my son's ever watched or listen to
my shows, but he watches every show that Stephen A
does and every show he's ever did. And the good
news about Stephen A is he's got a brand new
podcast he's starting, which I think is such a great
idea for him. He's so loved by everybody. And it's
called No Mercy with stephen A Smith. Now you spell

(01:06):
no okay and ow, which is pretty interesting to me.
Now here's the lineup that distinguished guests. Snoop Dogg is
gonna be on, ll Cool Jay is gonna be on,
Sue Bird is gonna be on, Chris Cuomo is gonna
be on, and guess who else is going to be
on this? This podcast yours truly, and this is going
to destroy the podcast and destroy stephen A's credibility with

(01:29):
us on what are we friends with that guy Hannity for?
But I'm proud to call him my friend. He's one
of the most gifted, talented broadcasters I've ever met. He's
a dear, dear friend. I'm proud of all of his success,
happy for all of his success. Stephen A, are you
sure you don't want to bail on this? It might
just kill your entire podcast. I love how you try

(01:50):
to paint it like it's dangerous for you to be
talking to me. No, it's talking to you. Let's get
that right, right, is all mine? Nobody's gonna follow to you.
They're gonna bother me, especially folk in the black community.
But I don't care. It's not fair and I don't
think God will pay attention to that nothing. Can I
just say something? Why would people be upset when you

(02:10):
have two people We agree on some things, we disagree
on other things. You've been on this show many times.
You've been on TV with me um and disagree with
you and trying to and disagree. You still won't listen.
You still won't listen, but I won't listen. But I'll
hear you. I'll hear you out, but you're not going
to change my mind. There's a difference. I definitely want
to hear well. First. Number one, your success on ESPN

(02:33):
is unprecedented. I mean the show is a phenomenal show.
You're a phenomenal broadcaster. I'm always interested in what you
have to say. I love your fights with like Mad
Dog Russo and some other people. It's just a lot
of fun to watch. And I love sports, as you know. Yeah,
absolutely you don't know sports, but not not like you do.

(02:55):
Though you don't know it, but but you do love
to watch it. There's no question to your listeners. Let
me take that, and I have takes your mind on
a couple of times. But we won't get into that today.
At the end of the day, though, I really appreciate
the kind words. Thank you so much, man, and I
have been very blessed and fortunate to really succeed at ESPN.

(03:17):
I've had my ups, I've had my downs, but if
theirness in credit to you. You've always been supportive of me,
even when you've disagreed with me from time to time,
and so I know I will send you notes occasionally
because I know that there are people, for whatever reason,
you know, the talk police out there that can't stand
in a different opinion. I have never one time stephen

(03:39):
A supported a boycott or a firing of somebody because
of what they said on air, and I never will
because that, you know, people in life, we're shooting it
by the hip. There's not one word that I've said
in this interview that I thought about beforehand. It's just
a conversation with two friends. We're on the air. Sometimes
you may slip up and say something didn't come quite

(04:01):
come out the way you wanted it to come out,
and everybody's there, you know, fire him, get rid of this.
What if the person said something then thought about it
later and they regret it and they apologize you and
I talked about that, and I've agreed with you for
the most part. I just understand where it comes from
in this day and age. So what happens is, especially
in the world of sports, we'll use that as an
example for the content to do it for the purposes

(04:21):
of this conversation. When you have advertisers and sponsors who
bolt and ultimately threatened too effect dramatically affect your bottom line,
then if you're a business, sometimes that leaves you with
no choice. So when it comes to something like that,
I understand it. My problem is especially in you and

(04:43):
I have this in common, especially when it comes to
people in this business, in our business, the willingness to
pounce on somebody and be unforgiving for whatever they it
is that they said that you may disagree with and
what have you. And do you think their careers should
I'm like, wait a minute, we're in a business. We
understand you're speaking live, you're speaking off the cuff and extemporaneously.

(05:08):
Stuff comes with it, and sometimes you may say something
that you regret, and so to me, America is supposed
to be the lamb of second chances in that regard,
and that's where you and I are aligned and not thinking,
especially when it comes to people in this business. They
have no excuse for being so unforgiving about both folks
speaking or mistakenly speaking or uttering a word or a

(05:28):
sentence or whatever the case may be. You know, I
love sports. One thing I don't like about sports is
when politics gets into sports, Like I don't want to
rehash the history of Colin Kaepernick and all that. I
don't think it's good for sports. And I'll tell you why. Great. Look,
one of the coolest things is when you go to

(05:49):
a football game, you go to a basketball game, you
go to a baseball game, whatever the event happens to be.
And what happens you have people of all socioeconomic backgrounds,
all rays, and they're they're usually with a shared passion
a home team, the sport that they all love. How
many times have you been in the stands, steven A

(06:09):
and you find yourself high fiving a stranger or buying
a stranger a beer, or sharing your popcorn with people.
I mean, that's the atmosphere when you when you're at
a sports stadium. The last thing we need to interject is, uh,
do you like Donald Trump or not like Donald Trump?
Do you want to stand for the national anthem and
not stand for the national anthem? It bothers me when

(06:30):
politics intersects with sports. Well, first of all, a couple
of things. Number One, you bother a lot of people,
So get over it. They're gonna bother you with some things.
That's number one. Number two, you and I and in
your defense, you and the great one Mark Levin, y'all
have both disagreed with me on this. Let's take the

(06:50):
Kaefinick situation into consideration. Kaepernick took a position. His position
was to kneel before tip off time during the national anthem.
It did not interfere with the game. It did not
violate his rights as an American citizen. It did not
impede anybody's ability to enjoy the sixty minutes of football

(07:11):
it came to watch. It did not violate any NFL
by laws. So at the end of the day, you're
seeing something you don't like for a few seconds from
an American citizen that had every right to do what
he did, even if you disagree with it. That did
not interfere with the game. Now, if he was taking
the knee on the football field, what he was supposed
to be taking a snap and drop it back to pass.

(07:32):
We got a different problem. If he's taking the knee
and it's interrupting the play and what people came to watch,
that's a different animal. But for him to do something
just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it
ruins the exit together. Let's take me out of the
equation here. Sure, look a look at what it did
to the sport. It hurt the sport of football. It

(07:54):
divides all those people with all those diverse backgrounds in
that crowd. It divided the It's the greatest opportunity to
unite people, and instead people are united. You got one
group of fans over here clapping, one group of fans
over here booing. Now instead of the high fiving, the

(08:15):
buying the beer and sharing the popcorn. You know now
you've you've taken a moment where people can put aside
differences and find a common passion. And you're you're ruining
it with politics. It's not the time and place for it. Well,
wait a minute, Wait a minute. I believe in freedom.
He's free to do it. The NFL is free to
make their rules, right, But I think it's a bad idea. Well,

(08:36):
we're wait a minute, but do people tell us that,
Sean baby, When the ratings dropped and the audience and
the audiences dip for NFL games, fine, then you saw
people modifying, you're thinking. But when they saw that, ultimately
they could lock arms with one another and what have you.
What happens is people return to the games. Listen. They

(08:59):
really only returned towards the end of last year, and
this year has been their best ratings year in like
ten years. So the drop was significant. And my argument
back to is Colin Kaepernick. I believe in freedom. I
believe in liberty. I also believe the NFL as an
organization has their own rules and regulations. That's up to them.

(09:20):
But is it Is it a good business plan? No?
And it is it ruining an opportunity for people with
such diverse backgrounds to share their passion together. I think
it's it's just not the time and place for it.
But the reality is shown people are not going to
always be aligned. You to the mind that every day

(09:42):
I do the tent of millions of people who agree
with you. I know tens of millions of people who
disagree with you. They're all your friends. Let's talk to you.
They wouldn't They wouldn't want to They wouldn't want to
be interviewed by you. They wouldn't want to interview you.
They wouldn't want to talk. You're sending me home for
the weekend with, you know, with a self esteem problem.

(10:05):
Go ahead, it's not a self esteem problem. The point
is it happens, but ultimately America becomes better because in
the end, you know what you learn to appreciate a
the fact that you have the license to disagree and
you can still move forward. What we got to do
as a society is encourage folks that it's okay to
disagree without being so damned disagreeable. I'll tell you what

(10:26):
I'll tell you. I'll tell you what I do love.
Here's a cool moment at the end of every football game. Here.
Sorry if they show it. Sometimes they show it, sometimes
they don't. We'll have people from both teams and sometimes
even the reps at the end of a hard hitting game.
You know, football players are gladiators. I mean, the average
career of football players what three and a half years. Yea.

(10:48):
Most people are not playing in the NFL's because okay,
they're not playing as long as Tom Brady, who's just
phenomenal to watch. What a great storyline for all of
us to love sports. But here's the thing. At the
end into that game, they form a circle and they
get arm in arm and both teams together, coaches together included,
sometimes the refs included, after they've tried to beat each

(11:11):
other's brains out on the field, and they pray together,
thankful for the opportunity to have the jobs that they
have and perform in front of such large crowds. And
then you know, shake hands, high five, give each other
a hug, and go to their respective locker rooms. That's cool.
Will allow the sports expert to retort that is not

(11:33):
every player. Nope, the fact of the matter is there's
plenty of players who don't lock on it, take a
knee and sharing the prayer because they don't like each other.
They didn't get they didn't commit criminal acted its one another,
but they don't lock arms with one another. By the way,
I love fighting in sports. I've been a hockey player

(11:53):
in my whole life, and the hockey net must never
get rid of fire. I love the fight that broke
out with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last weekend, right I'm
only telling you. You just made your own point. You
pointed out how some come together. I pointed out how
not all come together. But it's not. It's not politics.
God isn't really politics. There's a big difference, I think,

(12:17):
you know, because here's here's the thinking of people that
half of people in a stadium. If you're taking knee
during the national anthem, how many how many men, how
many people thought bled died, lost their limbs, were disfigured
fighting under that flag out of respect for them? Not

(12:37):
You can have your political disagreements, is it, And you
could speak out loudly. But NFL players usually have a
pretty big platform outside of the game, and and they
can certainly use that platform to raise money and make
make things better in the in the cities they live in.
Let me tell you, I'm gonna stop you right there. Okay, Yeah,

(12:59):
you do have people who do that and it shouldn't
be politicized fair enough, But you also have people who
don't believe it was politics at all. They believe it
was real life issues being you know, confronted, that was
confronting a disenfranchise community for many, many years. They don't

(13:20):
view it as politics. The interpretation of it is not political,
so they don't view it the way Sean Hannity or
people who think like let me give you an example
where I agree with you, not politics to them. I've
watched your show enough to know that you have been
a very strong advocate for more minorities and positions on

(13:40):
the coaching side of football and other sports and in
upper management, and I agree with you. I absolutely think
that some of these organizations have been atrocious in terms
of their outreach. There's so much talent out there, and
I don't think they've I think they've gotten the message now,
but it's taken people like you are pointing it out

(14:02):
for a long period of time to get that accomplished. Yeah, exactly,
And I'm not going to stop. But in the same breath,
the very people that I support getting these positions to
speak to your point, I'm going to hold them accountable
to the importance of upholding the standard that comes with
the job. And if you don't do that, there's a

(14:23):
price that you have to be played, that you have
to pay, because what we don't want to do is
dialect dilute rather the importance of those circumstances. Because all right,
stay right there. I'm not cutting you off. I'm gonna
hold you over. I rarely do this. I'm gonna hold
you over, give you five more minutes. On the other side,
I've got to take a break. You understand that. No

at the top of the hour, Thanks for being one
of us. Eight hundred and ninefold one Sean, you want
to be a part of the program, We'll get to
your calls five more minutes With Stephen A. Smith. I
will be a guest. I'm not sure what day yet.

(16:38):
His new podcast is launching on Monday. It's called No
Mercy with Stephen A. Smith starts Monday. I'm gonna be
one of his first guests. I know, Llo Coolja is
gonna be one. Snoop Dog, It's gonna be one. Why
wouldn't you put all of us on together? I think
that'd be a great podcast. It would be a great,
great podcast. But I'd have to prep up for you.

(17:00):
First of all, you're gonna do most they'll have to
get you to say. You're gonna do moth to the talking.
You're gonna give very little time to ask questions. Okay,
you're gonna do all this and you and this is
what I tell people about it is like you know
your kids, let Sean Hannity, you know, just just give
his spiel. I said, stop, that's him. Sean Hannity is
Sean Hannity all day every day. You ain't changing them.

(17:22):
The people really bother? Really do people give you a
hard time because we're friends? Yes? They do. They don't.
They don't understand why I can talk, why how I
can't even talk to you because I don't see a
lot of your views. But the bottom line is I
tell him all the time. First of all, sometimes he's
actually right. I hate to admit it, but he is
number one. Number two. Listen. The bottom line is this.

(17:43):
You've always been real about who you are, and I'm
good with that. It doesn't I don't have to agree
with you to respect you and where you're coming from.
When I don't like something, I pick up the phone
and call you if i'm if I if I'm challenging
with something that you're saying. You know, when I get
to listen to you, I'll let you know, and you
let me know what you'll tell other people. You actually

(18:06):
do say from time to time. It's rare. It's rare,
but you have actually said to me you got a
good point. I got But you know, I'll tell you
the one thing that you're not gonna like this, But
I'm gonna tell you the one thing that bonds us,
the one thing that where our friendship lies. We both
have a strong belief in God, a creator, natural law.

(18:28):
We're endowed by our creator. I believe God created every man, woman,
and child on this earth. That that for me is fundamental,
and it is basic, and it is ingrained in my heart,
mind and soul, and I want every human being. The
word education is rooted in the Latin derivative at ducree
to bring forth from within. I believe every child born

(18:49):
has talent and ability directly given to them from God,
and a good education nurtures that talent. You have to
live in a safe town and community, you have to
have law and order to have it. You need a school,
the teachers, reading, writing, masks, science history, and computers, which
we don't have in many places unfortunately. And those are
the things that I talk about. But you know, when

(19:11):
you have the common humanity, you can that's a great
starting point for a friendship. That's what it comes down to.
It's a common humanity. There's there's a quite a few
things I don't agree with in terms of what you say,
But it's not that it's the fact that we've got
politicians on Capitol Hill and they're objective or some things
that transpired behind the scenes that they're away from the

(19:33):
kind of things you just alluded to. It's problematic for
me in more ways than it is for you in
some cases, and in more ways than it is to
you than me in other cases. And so because of that,
we we sort of get lost in the shuffle because
we think things should be done a different way. We
think there's a different avenue that you could go down
to accomplish you could disagree about, but it is without

(19:56):
being that disagreeable you You asked me for twenty minutes
from your podcast, and I laughed. I said, there's no
way I'm gonna be able to do. You're gonna be
able to do a twenty minute podcast. I'll predict it's
gonna go over an hour. I predict that I'm gonna
cut you down about forty minutes. I can tell you
that much, no matter how much you go too. But

(20:18):
I will tell you this though. Here's the thing you
are right, because this is the thing. You say a
lot of interesting and compelling things that open the floodgates
of dialogue. And that's what I really got to give
you credit for, because even when I disagree with something,
I love going to other people to regurgitate what you said,
to see how they would feel and how they react.

(20:41):
When the cameras are off and they're away from everybody else.
Those kinds of things are food for thought, and you
always provide that. So I really appreciate that coming from you.
As annoying as you can be, why don't we end
up on that high note as annoying you can be.
All right, here's the deal. You know what day you

(21:02):
want me next week for this podcast or you don't know.
I'm gonna have you not yet, I'm gonna have you
on within the next two weeks. I might first two
weeks is where I'm going, and I might close that
second week. I don't know yet. I don't know yet.
It depends on how you say. I don't know. Oh,
so you're gonna edit it. You already said you're gonna
edit it, all right, you know how you are. I
might have I want to get in five questions with you.

(21:24):
Come on, maybe maybe you got to five at an hour.
That'd be a record of anybody interview with me. I
usually take the ball and I don't stop. I run.
That's a that's a sports analogy. Listen. I'm proud of you.
I'm honored to be I thank you for your friendship.
I think the world of you. You made my son's day. Frankly,
you made his year when you spend time with them

(21:44):
talking sports with him. He loved it. We're all gonna
get together pretty soon. The new podcast is called nom
What's up? You're treating? Don't be cheat, You're treating? I'm
treating of course, Kay, don't you expecting? I'm never Linda?
Have I ever not paid for dinner? Linda? Linda has
been around me for twenty years. Have I ever not

(22:05):
paid for dinner when we got When anybody goes out
to dinner, I would say that both you and Steven
a dear friends, are equally giving and kind and always
pay for everything. It's my pleasure. Listen. I wish you
all the success with this continued success at ESPN. I'm
proud to be your friend. I'm very honored that you

(22:26):
come on the show, and I look forward to being
on your podcast. It's called No Mercy, but they spell
no Know. I'm not sure why, but Stephen will tell it.
I'm sure explain it at some point, sir. Good luck
starting Monday? All right, my friend? Thank you? Eight nine
one sewn our number? You want to be a part
of the program. Uh, isn't he great? Love? Steven A

(22:48):
David Michigan, Dave, how are you glad you called so
with stephen A? And that was no intention at all.
But I will think that a basketball game, a football game,
or a baseball game is any place to show your
anger and meal for the game. I'm sorry we have
a flag. I've got uncles that died NAB, I've got

(23:09):
uncles that come from nob just completely disturbed. I've got
uncles that died later from Agent Orange. I grew up
in the sixty seventies and eighties. I'm sixty years old
right now, Sean, and I'm sorry that just suck a
card with me. And that was not what I called
to talk to you about. Sean. That's all right. Well, listen,

(23:29):
I understand you're responding to our conversation with Steve and a.
What's on your mind today? What's going on in Michigan.
By the way, You've got a gubernatorial candidate there that
I think can do pretty well. You know what, I'm
really kind dumbfounded because we've got to put people at
the poles. Honestly, God, we've got to put Republicans at
the poles to watch this stuff. I believe that Destart

(23:52):
was sold from us. And I'm not kidding. I mean,
why would they put paper all over the window and
stop us from coming in to watch the counts? I mean,
is it's just absolutely crazy. And there is a two
standard system shown. There's no doubt about it. And I
realized that when I started listening to you and telling
me about Hillary. You know what I mean? And bleach

(24:12):
Fit never heard of it before, you know, I mean,
it is, it's a it's a two standard system. Look
at the FBI. Um My gosh, look at what Biden's
done and his son, and are you kidding me? If
Trump did, that's tough, they'd be all over him right now.
They're trying to attack him just for the fact that
they can't. I mean, they want to stop him from
running for president, showing you know that I know that.

(24:33):
I mean, it is absolutely unreal. Blows my mind what
a system we have here. When I found out how
crooked the FBI was, I mean unreal, I told my wife,
I said, are you kidding me? Are we living in
a third world country? Or what my wife is right
beside me, you know, voting for for Donald Trump and

(24:55):
voting I mean, we're magnus so Unfortunately they may be coming.
You know, it's crazy. Look, it's listen right now what
we're hearing. And I can't wait to hear from more
from these whistle blowers. We heard from John Solomon today
and one whistle blower. But we're now learning that these
FBI agents are saying that that once great agency now

(25:17):
has been taken over by politics. It's been politicized. We
already know that the DOJ's weaponized. We already know we
have a dual system of justice. This is why in
forty six days, the people you elect, and I'm talking
about at the state level, the ages that you are electing,
the governors that you are electing, that we'll have standards

(25:38):
in terms of voting, etc. Integrity standards so everyone can
have confidence and election outcomes and we don't have, you know,
the constant, never ending chaos, especially in some states. We
need all of this. It's good for the country. Sorry,
st We've already found out that there's two different standards
for Governor Whitney here and the rest of the country.

(25:59):
I mean, So we started to deal with COVID. Her
husband's going to get us boat out of a freaking dock,
and and she said that we can't use a boat
with a motor. My gosh, I'm a fisherman. Shot my
father lost seventy years old, and him and I have
been best friend since I met my wife, which was
forty years ago, and we fished and we hut. But
we were allowed to use a motor. Attacks that got

(26:22):
to do with COVID show. It's sl so all right,
I gotta roll my friend, God blush. You appreciate you
being with us South Carolina. Peter on the Sean Hannity Show. Hi, Shoan, Hey,
thank you very much for taking my call. I've been
a long time listener and started listening to you when
you were just on that local station in that little

(26:43):
city called New York City. Anyways, I've gone, thank you
thirty eight years of commercial real estate experience, and I
have a few thoughts and comments that I wanted to
share with you and your audience, Okay, with regards appraisals
and that litigation that's taken place in New York State,
if I may, Okay, yes, sir. I started to look

(27:04):
at that two twenty two pages and I read about
thirty pages and I gave up on it. I mean,
it's just just loaded with a bunch of bunch of fill. Okay,
But anyways, my comment is bank valuation is different than
property valuation. The bank is only interested in one thing risk. Okay,
They're not really interested in appraisals. They measure risk and

(27:28):
that's all they care about. When they consider a loan,
they try to arrive at the loan amount and minimize
any risk that they have. They look at the borrower,
look at the asset value, and in many cases they
look at it on a global scale. They look at
the assets that the borrow borrower owns, so they're not
just looking at that one asset. They're conservative and they

(27:50):
look at more than their value. It's all about the
ability to repay the law if something should go wrong.
So well, look, to me, this is the dumbest thing ever.
I mean, anyone that's ever done a real estate deal,
anybody knows that you have to get an appraisal, and
appraisals can vary. I mean, people take into account different factors,

(28:13):
they might come up with a different number. That's why
anybody that's going to lend money, any real financial institution,
any real bank, is going to do their own due diligence.
Their own valuations, and they're going to make a determination
whether or not your valuation is real and correct or not.
And if there's a disagreement, you might negotiate it out,

(28:34):
or they're just going to say no and they're going
to deny your application for the loan. They're not going
to give it to you. They have a responsibility financially,
a fiduciary responsibility to people will put money in their
financial institution to make money. It's not that complicated exactly.
You know, I deal with this every single day, and

(28:54):
I performed a number of what we call bovis or
broker opinion of valuations. It's an opinion, okay, And I'd
work with the praisers over the years, and I perform
I look at the computer every single day, and I
deal with investors, buyers, sellers, and we use the same
approach to arrive and a value. But they can they
don't represent real value. We only provide an opinion, and

(29:18):
a praiser only provides an opinion. There's a difference, you know,
there's a big difference between market value and and I
know people that tell me all the time, my home
is worth blankety blankety blankety blame it's up so much
money since, Okay, it's really only worth that if you
can get a buyer that will pay that, you can

(29:38):
you can think it's worth Let's say you think your
home is worth a million dollars, Well, you can think that,
but unless somebody's willing to pay a million dollars for
that home, it's not really worth a million dollars. Now
you look at comparable sales and a neighborhood, it gives
you a pretty good feel of what the going rate
might be, and you might come to an educated guess
you probably are somewhere in that area. But then you

(30:01):
have market forces that might change the dynamics. If you
go back six months ago, you had people day one
open house and flooded with twenty five potential buyers, and
five of the buyers are offering above asking price and
bidding against each other to get the house because of
the scarcity in the market. And you see that it's

(30:22):
still happening in some places of Florida, but not like
it was. But I think Florida will fare better because
they have an influx and migration of Florida from other states,
and states like New York are going to be hit
really hard in the real estate market. Um. Anyway, you
make really good points. It's just sad that this is
all about politics, and it's all about destroying one family,

(30:42):
one one person, and one corporation. And then and I
think Professor Dershwitz is right. Latitia James, based on her
comments running for office, should have accused herself in this case. Anyway,
appreciate the call my friend eight hundred and nine for
one Shawn, if you want to be a part of
