Speaker 1 (00:00):
Going up next our final news round up and Information
Overload hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All Right, News round Up, Information Overload Hour. Our toll
free telephone number this Friday is eight hundred and nine
four one sew on. If you want to be a
part of the program, remember it's our last day to register.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Last day.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Next week we'll be announcing who gets to pick and
choose the Tesla of their choice that I will buy
for one lucky winner. Now, if you want to register today,
the last day, it's simple. Just go to Hannity dot com.
Right at the top of the home page. You'll see
the Tesla contest page. You can click on it or
bring it to the contest page. Today's word of the
(00:37):
day is now, meaning do it now. So at least
you have eight chance to win, and people, I'm looking
forward to being able to announce the winner at some
point next week.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I do not have any say and who the winner is.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I have no idea who registered, I have no access
to any of it. Just say putting not out there
ahead of time. You know, these these deep blue cities
and states, they're never going to learn, They're just not
I don't see any hope for a state like California
where you have more people that have been criminal illegal immigrants,
and there's sanctuary city and state that have been let
(01:11):
go by the government of California.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's insane.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You not only have a sanctuary state, you have the
sanctuary city status San Francisco, LA, for example. And I
don't think New York is ever going to change. If
I thought it might change at some point what I
have stayed, probably not because there's just so much I
don't I dislike about it. The list is so long.
I mean, it got very little reporting. But there's a
place in New York you have, for example, I'm sure
(01:36):
many of you where most of you have heard of
Times Square, most of you have probably heard of Penn Station,
most of you have probably heard of.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Grand Central Station.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And anyway, New York City passengers, you know, there's one
reporting from Grand Central after you know, a massive crowd
of anti Israel supporters forced the lockdown this weekend. Didn't
get the attention I think it deserves. I understand is
nobody got arrested, nobody's being charged. Here's a New York
City passenger reporting from Grand Central after these protesters. Now
(02:08):
as you listen to this, ask yourself a question on
October seventh, twenty twenty three, we had literally the equivalent
of forty thousand Americans based on Israel's population sized versus
ours murdered. We had how many Israelis that were kidnapped
and Americans? How many people were raped? How many people
were beheaded? How many people have been tortured and still
(02:28):
some are being held prisoner and then other bodies have
not been returned of people that have died or been murdered.
What part of murder, rape, torture, beheading, kidnapping? Don't you
understand anyway?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Listen?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Grand Center was locked, he said, you liar said, these
Kalistrinian protesters.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
People need to get home. Girl stuffs. People can't get
into the building. It's all locked.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Grand Central six o'clock shut down. You people can't get out.
You be can't get home.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It's locked.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Grand Central is locked down because of these rioting Palestinian protesters.
People need to get home and they can't get out.
They can't get out, they can't get in. Mayor needs
to do something, kapy Hoko needs to do something. This
is unacceptable. Six o'clock in the evening, six thirty.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
People need to get home.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
They can't get into Grand Central, they're in a crowd
of people who can't get in, they can't get out.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Then over the weekend you had, you know, all these
hundreds of you know, sixties, reducs, wannabes, lunatics, you know,
out there as part of the resistance, part of a
nationwide effort of protests. And when you listen to them,
they're not exactly going to bring a lot of people
over to their side by chanting and singing and carrying
(03:50):
on and screaming and yelling at anybody that dares to
disagree with him. Miranda Devine has been covering the story
for The New York Post. She joins us, Now, Miranda,
great to have you back.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
How are you.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Thanks very much, Sean, good to see you. In fact,
I was in Washington yesterday and I saw one of
these so called protests outside the Treasury Building and it
was very lackluster, very anemic. Everybody there really looked to
be I mean, the average age was about sixty or seventy.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
All right, so it's not that effective. But they did
shut down Grand Central station in New York at a
time when commuters needed to get home.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Yes, well, those are the real militants. I mean they
were black clad with their faces masked and wearing bike
helmets and things, and they meant business. And that was
a very fightening situation. And it's extraordinary that the boss
of the MTA is pushed back on Transportation Secret Tree
Shawn Duffy and said that he was wrong when he
(04:45):
said that Grand Central was shut down. I mean the
actual station was locked. The NYPD locked the doors. There's
a video. People at witnesses have told us that they
could not get out and they could not get in.
The protesters were outside. Presumably the NYPD was doing crowd control,
trying to keep the two sides separate so that they
(05:08):
weren't there wasn't violent clashes because the protesters were saying
they were coming after Jews, and so people were frightened,
they were trapped, felt that they were trapped inside Grand
Central at that point, with seem like most of the
doors were shut. Maybe they eventually managed to find a
way out, but the frightening thing when you've got a
big mob outside baying for blood, and all that's between
(05:32):
you and them is a locked door that you can't
get out of.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You know, I've made kind of a big deal over
the fact that I left New York. I mean starting
in January first of twenty twenty three, after a lot
of preparation and sixty five items that lawyers and accountants
had me check off to make the move to be
a full time, permanent, domiciled, homesteaded resident in Florida. One
(05:56):
of the major reasons that I had to get out
is I honestly, if i'd walk into an unknown restaurant. Now,
there are plenty of restaurants that I had patronized over
the years that you know, they knew me, they would
take care of me. Honestly, the entire staff would probably
come to my defense if anything ever happened. But if
I couldn't walk into an unknown place, especially if I
(06:17):
was with other people, because I felt like when I'd
walk in, you'd look, you could see daggers coming out
of the eyes of people, and then you run the risk,
especially in the city of New York, of you know,
a flash mob form, and I can't put people that
I care about, love in my life and my family
at risk that way, And it just became untenable.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I had to go.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Now, you're on television quite a bit, Morande, I would
assume you're pretty recognizable.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Yeah, it's a terrible thing, isn't it, Sean, that you
would have that feeling of apprehension. I think snook for myself.
I stick in places and venues like Beach Cafe in Manhattan,
which is very cong and full of conservatives. There are
a lot of conservative New Yorkers, and so I guess
(07:05):
that's where I'm recognize most, which is.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I think a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Might be overstating it a little bit. There are some,
and there are some little safe spaces, but not a lot.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Yeah, well that is true, and for the most part.
You know, there are certain areas that you really have
to have purple hair and brainbow colored glasses to really
get by.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I think you'd look good in purple hair and rainbow
colored glasses.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
No, thank you very much, Sean. Don't let me do that.
So Upper West Side bookstores are the worst. Actually, they
still require masks or.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
The I think that now, Oh, come on, you gotta
be kidding me.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
No, they're recommended masks. I mean there are still women
in New York I see around the place wearing masks outside.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well what bothers me? And some states have adopted them.
I know it came up as an issue in New York.
I don't think they adopted it, or maybe the city
was thinking about it or debating it. I still got
the New York Post. I get the print edition down
here in Florida every day, believe it or not. And
I'd still like to, you know, feel and touch a
newspaper as opposed to looking online. And I never want
(08:11):
to miss your column, for example. But I can tell
you that, you know, in New York, things have just
changed so dramatically that I don't know. I mean, I'm
not sure that any politician in New York has a
clue how to change it. And it looks like Governor
Cormo is going to get elected mayor. That's what it
looks like to me.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Well, I hoped not, and certainly not if we have
anything to do with it. I don't think you can
really forgive the man for what he did. You know,
people forget it's the nursing homes, but it's also bail reform.
He's still denying that he did anything wrong with the
nursing homes during COVID, and he's still defending his decision
(08:50):
on bail laws as some sort of anti racism measure.
It's been awful for everybody, but I would say, particularly
for minority news, that that terrible. You know, his social
justice criminal reform, he still defends it. He created a
lot of problems for this place.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
And I, by the way, what wasn't he the guy
that created this no bail stupidity?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
He did exactly.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
That was him, and he's still defending it, and he
pretends that, oh well, you know, he came to the
New York Post editorial board the other day and he
brought along PowerPoint presentations which were really mendacious. You know,
there were it looked as if not many people died
in the nursing homes. He skewed the stats on that,
(09:37):
and then on bail reform. He had all this nonsense
about how it was important as an anti racism measure,
and he's still defending it. And it's been just disastrous
for law and order in this city. And the cops
will tell you that, and they warned about it beforehand.
And the reason that there was no big focus on
it when it started because it was January one, and
(10:00):
of course before there was a chance for everyone to
see what a disaster it was. COVID hit, so all
all the law and order and all the crime stats
were affected by that. But you know, when we came
out of COVID, crime is now through the roof, and
I know Eric Adams is trying. I think things are
a bit calmer in the city now, actually sewn because
(10:21):
because of Donald Trump. Because all these sort of illegal migrants,
a lot of them at the Roosevelt Hotel and so on,
the criminals have skidaddled and there are fewer of them,
and some of them are self deporting, and I know
he's got more plans to assist them with more of
their self deportations coming up. So that has changed a
bit in New York because the illegal aliens were responsible
(10:43):
for a lot of the new crime.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Quick Break more with New York Post superstar reporter, calumnist,
investigative reporter Miranda Devine, also a Fox News contributor. Then
we're going to get to your calls. At the bottom
of the half hour. There's Friday eight hundred and ninety
four to one Sean. If you want to be part
of the program, don't forget our Tesla contest. Go to
Hannity dot com. It is your last day to Register
(11:05):
will announce hopefully a winter next week. And today's word
of the day is now this is it your last chance?
Midnight Tonight Hannity dot Com. Anyway, quick break more with
Miranda on the other side as we continue. All right,
we continue now with Fox News contributor New York Post author,
investigative reporter columnist Miranda Divine. What do you make of
(11:28):
the promotion? And I know you wrote about this and
your column about Steven Jensen, the architect of the FBI's
kind of over zealous January sixth investigation. Not the summer
of twenty twenty rioting that took place. They didn't have that.
Where was Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger when you needed them?
But anyway to head the Washington Field office is it's
kind of confounded Trump's supporters and crushed their hopes about
(11:53):
about returning the FBI to its former greatness and bringing
integrity back. I still have a ton of confidence in
people like Cash Betel and Dan Bongino. I know they're
serious about returning it to their former greatness.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Yes, I agree, And you know I'm a big fan
of Cash Betel's and known him for some time and
was thrilled that he was heading the FBI. But you know,
it's not just me saying this. There's a lot of
very good people ex FBI and others, significant people in
law enforcement and in ceteral circles who are very concerned
(12:32):
that not enough is being done and fast enough. And
I know what I get from Cash's people is look,
you've only just got there, et cetera. But the I
guess the fact the whistleblowers have been left to dangle,
whereas three weeks ago Treasury Secretary Scott Besant took care
of the irs whistle blowers. There are FBI whistle blowers
(12:52):
who are still on you indefinite suspensions without pay, who
have not been made whole or you know, given any
kind of indication that the the injustice will be put right.
But it's not just that. I mean there's a lot
of personnel decisions and sort of transparency that hasn't come about,
(13:13):
and particularly the elevation of this guy Steve Jensen, who
was the architect of the January sixth FBI very overzealous investigation,
and you know, he's basically regarded He was very strong
about rounding up these January sixth defendants, even if they
are only had committed misdemeanor trest us. And you know,
(13:36):
there are times when in the various field officers like
I'm toddm Philadelphia and Boston officers agents were pushing back
and saying, we haven't got enough evidence for these people.
They're not domestic terrorists, They're not you know, Adartusts or insurrectionists.
And he didn't care because he was a true believer
(13:57):
in that kind of Joe Biden narrative, is that domestic terrorism,
that that attack with white supremacy, the worst attack on
democracy since Pearl Harbor. And you know, Jensen basically testified
to the Oversight Committee's Weaponization Committee that yes, he believed
all of that and that this was a terrible domestic
(14:18):
terrorism attack. And he was the boss of domestic terrorism
at Washington Headquarters, so he bought, he drank the kool aid,
and he was really as responsible as anyone else. Maybe
the other guy would be Stephen Dante, to know, who
was the head of the Washington Field office. But between
the two of them, they were responsible for the injustices
that came about in that ridiculous over the top prosecutions.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And I mean people have just walked through and we're
even being waved in that did nothing, you know, beyond
maybe you take videos. I mean, you know, giving them
five year jail sentences was beyond excessive, especially if you
believe an equal justice under the law. And not happened
to the summer of twenty twenty writers. But Miranda, I
(15:03):
wish we always had more time with you. We appreciate you,
and keep up the good work and be safe in
that Adam schiffole of a city that you live in.

I actually gave it to my daughter and I have.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Upgraded, So give her the piece of crap. That's right,
unsaved vehicle.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I'm not going to give out your daughter's name without

Speaker 7 (16:48):
My daughter's name is not Susie. My car's name is Susie.
And Susie yeah, that's my car's name, my jeep.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
You are weird. You are more weird.

your callers. What year is your car's? Seven seven rand? New,
new and improved.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
But you know what's beautiful about it? The government can.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I don't want to hear it. There's nothing.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
I don't have electronic windows. I roll up, I rolled down.
It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Okay, keep your piece of drunk anyway. Hannity dot Com
Word of the day. Now, listen, dedicated first responders, service members,
people like US Army Major Scott Smiley, They've all played
a very high price serving our nation, our communities. Now,
this brave service member was in Iraq leading his platoon
when a car bomb detonated in front of him. Now,
(17:46):
the blast left him blind, temporarily paralyzed, but he refused
to let his injury stop his military career. Now Scott
became the first blind active duty officer in military history
before medically retiring years later. And thanks to your generosity,
friends like you, thanks to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation,
(18:06):
well we were all able to give Scott and his
family a mortgage free specially adapted smart home to help
him live more independently. Please show the appreciation the profound
sacrifices made by American heroes, the men and women that
serve our country, serve our communities, and they do so
so selflessly. And if you can join us here at
(18:27):
Team Hannity, commit to eleven dollars a month. Just go
to the Tunnel to Towers website, the letter T the
number two, the letter T dot org. That's the letter T,
the number two, the letter T dot org for the
Tunnel to Towers Foundation and some of the other news
of the day, Tim Walls. We should demonize people like
Elon musk Is now the second time after he apologized
(18:49):
for the first time, and then why not just double
down on doing it again. Listen, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
In America to be successful. We should celebrate that when
people are successful. My beef is what my beef is.
Once you get successful, don't be a greedy bastard. Not
pay your taxes, don't do that, pay your cab and
do that. But I don't think we should be the
party that demonized as someone because they're able to afford something,
(19:15):
or they're able to work hard and got something.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
What we should.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Demonize is people like Elon Musk and those people that
do that.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
And that's different.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
That's different.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And let's call on demonizing a guy that has been
getting assassin assassination threats left and right, and people firing
bullets into his dealerships and blowing up and fire bombing
his cars and his charging stations. Oh yeah, let's do that.
What an idiot. Unbelievable, It's unforgivable to me. Now, we
(19:48):
did have a little bit of a showdown that took place,
and it's got pretty interesting between.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Alex What is it?
Speaker 8 (20:00):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
How you say it?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
A senator in California saying Republicans requiring proof of citizenship
to vote?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
By the way, this is all a lie.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
It's just all a big fat lie from people that
don't want any integrity in our system of voting. They
don't want people to have confidence and the results. The
only reason you wouldn't want voter IDs, signature verification, chain
of custody controls, updated voter roles, partisan observers watching the
voting all day, vote counting all night, is because you
think you're getting a huge advantage out of it.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
Listen, Oh what Republicans are doing is once again demonizing
immigrants for the sake of making it harder for eligible
citizens to register, to vote and to cast their bouts
in elections. It's voter suppression in disguise, not so much
of a disguise. And here's the truth. It is already
illegal for non citizens to vote in our election. Our
(20:51):
current laws and protections are working. What would they say
back to it would make it harder for members of
the military, for example, when they're deployed to different base
and maybe have to be registered and it's not so
easy from not maybe being able to vote in the
next election. Or a woman who's married and changed her
last name and all of a sudden her ID doesn't
match her birth certificates. You know, this is voter suppression
(21:14):
and it's unnecessary.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Well yeah, okay, yeah, let's not have any integrity in
the system. So then this way people will always, forever
never have confidence in the results.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So stupid.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Larry Illinois This Friday on the Sean Hannity Show, Larry,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 8 (21:29):
Hi? Jean? Hey, I don't know how you feel about it,
but there's a breath of fresh air to see Carolyn Leavitt,
and the first time I saw her, I thought, oh,
this poor child. They're throwing her to a dan of wolves,
you know, and she just, I hate to say, kicked butt.
That that's she's doing it. And today was another day
just like that. And she just has a cute little smile.
(21:53):
And you know, she said she was scared of the
mouse or something. If it is, I think that's the
only thing that girl's scared of.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Listen. I think she's a rock star. I watched her
today in her White House briefing. I mean, she's got
a smile on her face, she doesn't take crap from anybody,
and she's so well informed. She barely has a note
in front of her. I don't see her look down
at notes ever. I mean, it's almost like she's doing
her own talk show every day, and she's really doing
(22:22):
a great, great bang up job. I got to tip
my hat to her. She's phenomenal. She's doing. She's gonna
be on Hannity tonight. She's amazing. Steven Miller's on tonight.
He's amazing too.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
Can I say one quick thing. Pall must be looking
down from Haven when he sees those press releases and
just smiling from ear to ear.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I will tell you this, Russia's has influenced a couple
of generations of conservatives that really help pave the way
for where we are today, and for that we should
all forever be grateful, will forever miss him.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
And there's not you know, hardly a day that goes
by it. Think about it.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I mean, he had such a profound impact on the
rise of conservatism, paved a path for any of us
that are in new media today, and that includes podcasters,
that includes anybody in new media. Anyway, have a great weekend, Larry.
We appreciate you calling eight hundred and nine to four
one Sewan if you want to be a part of
the program Vegas kadon Radio Tom next on the Sean
(23:22):
Hennerity Show.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
What's up Tom? How are you sure? What's up you? Oh?
Thank you for letting me be me.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
No, you've grown into quite the person you have become.
But my point is, Kim Jeffries and Elon Musk need
to come on your show and let them let a
Kim Jefferies try to discuss some of these democrats stupid
ideas in their philosophy, and let Elon Musk explain one
at one with him, what's being done.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Let me ask you a question, what do you think
the odds that Hakeem Jeffries is ever going to come
on my show?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Well?
Speaker 6 (23:57):
I would ask him on TV. I would say, here's
an opening. You picked the spot, you named you would
do you want me to come up to DC. Let's
do this. Let's see how all right?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Let me let me give you without mentioning names, because
I promised I would keep the conversations off the record.
There are two very, very very prominent names within the
Democratic Party ranks in their hierarchy that I have had
off the record conversations with who try and entice them
(24:29):
to come on the show. How do you think that's
worked out?
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Well?
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Until you put it out there, then the Democrats will segum, hey,
what are you afraid of?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I mean, well, I mean if I if I ask
for a private conversation, I mean I am a member
of the press, and you know it's kind of sacro
sanct if you tell somebody it's off the record, you
got to keep it off the record.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
You just do a twist what you say, though, they're
not going to tell the truth about the our meetings.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
But they're not gonna. They're not gonna, they're not gonna
tell anybody they talk to me. I'll tell you what.
Probably what they took the call was just sheer curiosity
and the promise that it would be off the record.
And if I had to guess, they probably put me
on speaker, recorded the call and had their whole office
sitting around listening to it. But I try. What I'm
(25:14):
saying is I do try to put people on. Then
you have another problem when you put like, for example,
I tried to put crazy Carvel on. I've known him
for years, I've had a good relationship with him, but
he's really gone off the deep edd and when I
put him on the show, I mean, he just was
telling a lie after lie after lie. Now I'm in
a box as a host because my audience over the
(25:36):
years has communicated to me many many times they don't
like if I end up interrupting people. But if I
interrupt every wrong thing he says, it's going to be
a never ending interruption. So I let him talk, try
and fact check them, and it just it just is.
At some point, it becomes a waste of time. If
you can't have a conversation if people are not dedicated
(25:57):
to telling even you know, it's sort of like on
the this issue, on the Save Act and all the
Democrats out there, seventy million women that got married and
and and changed their name and not gonna be able
to vote. They're absolutely lying, in full of it. But
you know, if I had a Democrat on tonight, we
were debating that they would pedal that lie and five others,
(26:19):
and I spend the entire segment either interrupting them a
lot to tell them that they're lying, or be you know,
letting him say it and then having people angry at
me because I let them say it even though I
know it's a lie, and they know it's a lie.
You see what I mean. I mean it's I can't Lindam.
Is that an honest assessment of the dilemma that I'm
putting in.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
If I put these idiots on.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Yeah, they're never going to come one. They don't want
to have a real conversation. Well, I agree with the caller, No,
they don't.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Who comes on?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, Carvval for example, car Camon and he's he's crazy, Carvel,
But I'm talking about his brain has been damaged Okay, come.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
On, Pelosi, gonna come on, hikeeen jeffries to his point, Schumer, I.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Didn't even tell you the two I told you about one.
I didn't tell you about the other one. Maybe I did,
I don't remember. Anyway, I trust me if it's an
open invitation, if they're willing to have a real conversation.
But if they're going to come on and spew lying
talking points, it becomes frustrating for my audience. And I'm
not I'm in the business of giving news, information, opinion
(27:22):
in an entertaining way. It's not entertaining if everybody's speaking
over each other. I'm long past that part of my
career anyway, and I've learned too much. My audience is
too honest with me, and they tell me very loudly
what they like and what they don't like. Anyway, appreciate
your call, Tom and ne Vegas, Don Lake Ronkonkomo. What's up,
Big Don? Welcome aboard, sir, Happy Friday.
Speaker 10 (27:43):
Hey Captain Hennity, thanks for letting me come aboard.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Listen, very welcome.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
I'd like to thank you for running the audio from
Prisident Trump's cabinet meeting. Yesterday on radio and TV. Yes, sir,
it was uplifting to hear the cabinet leaders speak, both
the President and each other, but more importantly to the public.
With the microphones and the cameras are running. It was
a full transparency on display.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
You know, I'm glad you like it. Let me bring
you behind the scenes again.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I mean, I'm watching that cabinet meeting and listening to
every cabinet official and number one, first of all, props
to the President for the level of transparency.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Number two, props to everybody that spoke because they were
so dialed in and articulate, and it's so transformational. It's refreshing.
But then I got a disc I got to make
a decision. Okay, I just assume most people didn't hear it.
I'm going to give up an hour of radio time
to do it. What's the best programming call? And I
(28:45):
just try and make the decision. What would I want
to hear? And I'd want to hear that because I
thought that was a very special meeting yesterday that really
brought people inside what.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
Goes on exactly exactly the permanent defense of Pete hegsep
back from Panama to secure the canal for the United States.
Linda McDow speaking and holding back millions from Colombia and
Cornell for their violence, their campus violence and anti semitism.
Then he had RFK speaking and he's going full steam
(29:16):
ahead to find the course a cure for autism. This
is all uplifting stuff. Sean, it was great.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
That's why I keep saying for those people that are
impatient and that are well.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Why didn't we get this done? Why?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Well, it's the President's done everything he can do on
his own and now we need Congress. And Congress, to
their credit, took the first step towards reconciliation. There are
going to be limits on this that not everybody's going
to get what they want, but it's certainly better than
what we have because we're now living under the Biden
Harris economy, and it will be a good first step.
(29:53):
October one will be here very quickly. We can return
to constitutional order and hopefully get on a path to
a bounce budget, raining spending but also prioritize where spending
needs to go, and that means the borders, and that
means energy, that means no tax on tips, social Security
or over time. That also means making the tax cuts
(30:14):
permanent so we don't have a five trillion dollar tax increase.
And also the next generation of weaponry, which is critical
because I'm pretty convinced future wars are going to be
fought in offices, not in at air conditioned offices, not
on the battlefield, and we got to have to invest
a lot of money. Don I got a roll. As
you know, it's Friday, man, time flies by. Don't forget.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I do not have any say and who the winner is.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I have no idea who registered, I have no access
to any of it. Just say putting not out there
ahead of time. You know, these these deep blue cities
and states, they're never going to learn, They're just not
I don't see any hope for a state like California
where you have more people that have been criminal illegal immigrants,
and there's sanctuary city and state that have been let
(01:11):
go by the government of California.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's insane.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You not only have a sanctuary state, you have the
sanctuary city status San Francisco, LA, for example. And I
don't think New York is ever going to change. If
I thought it might change at some point what I
have stayed, probably not because there's just so much I
don't I dislike about it. The list is so long.
I mean, it got very little reporting. But there's a
place in New York you have, for example, I'm sure
(01:36):
many of you where most of you have heard of
Times Square, most of you have probably heard of Penn Station,
most of you have probably heard of.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Grand Central Station.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And anyway, New York City passengers, you know, there's one
reporting from Grand Central after you know, a massive crowd
of anti Israel supporters forced the lockdown this weekend. Didn't
get the attention I think it deserves. I understand is
nobody got arrested, nobody's being charged. Here's a New York
City passenger reporting from Grand Central after these protesters. Now
(02:08):
as you listen to this, ask yourself a question on
October seventh, twenty twenty three, we had literally the equivalent
of forty thousand Americans based on Israel's population sized versus
ours murdered. We had how many Israelis that were kidnapped
and Americans? How many people were raped? How many people
were beheaded? How many people have been tortured and still
(02:28):
some are being held prisoner and then other bodies have
not been returned of people that have died or been murdered.
What part of murder, rape, torture, beheading, kidnapping? Don't you
understand anyway?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Listen?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Grand Center was locked, he said, you liar said, these
Kalistrinian protesters.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
People need to get home. Girl stuffs. People can't get
into the building. It's all locked.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Grand Central six o'clock shut down. You people can't get out.
You be can't get home.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It's locked.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Grand Central is locked down because of these rioting Palestinian protesters.
People need to get home and they can't get out.
They can't get out, they can't get in. Mayor needs
to do something, kapy Hoko needs to do something. This
is unacceptable. Six o'clock in the evening, six thirty.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
People need to get home.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
They can't get into Grand Central, they're in a crowd
of people who can't get in, they can't get out.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Then over the weekend you had, you know, all these
hundreds of you know, sixties, reducs, wannabes, lunatics, you know,
out there as part of the resistance, part of a
nationwide effort of protests. And when you listen to them,
they're not exactly going to bring a lot of people
over to their side by chanting and singing and carrying
(03:50):
on and screaming and yelling at anybody that dares to
disagree with him. Miranda Devine has been covering the story
for The New York Post. She joins us, Now, Miranda,
great to have you back.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
How are you.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Thanks very much, Sean, good to see you. In fact,
I was in Washington yesterday and I saw one of
these so called protests outside the Treasury Building and it
was very lackluster, very anemic. Everybody there really looked to
be I mean, the average age was about sixty or seventy.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
All right, so it's not that effective. But they did
shut down Grand Central station in New York at a
time when commuters needed to get home.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Yes, well, those are the real militants. I mean they
were black clad with their faces masked and wearing bike
helmets and things, and they meant business. And that was
a very fightening situation. And it's extraordinary that the boss
of the MTA is pushed back on Transportation Secret Tree
Shawn Duffy and said that he was wrong when he
(04:45):
said that Grand Central was shut down. I mean the
actual station was locked. The NYPD locked the doors. There's
a video. People at witnesses have told us that they
could not get out and they could not get in.
The protesters were outside. Presumably the NYPD was doing crowd control,
trying to keep the two sides separate so that they
(05:08):
weren't there wasn't violent clashes because the protesters were saying
they were coming after Jews, and so people were frightened,
they were trapped, felt that they were trapped inside Grand
Central at that point, with seem like most of the
doors were shut. Maybe they eventually managed to find a
way out, but the frightening thing when you've got a
big mob outside baying for blood, and all that's between
(05:32):
you and them is a locked door that you can't
get out of.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You know, I've made kind of a big deal over
the fact that I left New York. I mean starting
in January first of twenty twenty three, after a lot
of preparation and sixty five items that lawyers and accountants
had me check off to make the move to be
a full time, permanent, domiciled, homesteaded resident in Florida. One
(05:56):
of the major reasons that I had to get out
is I honestly, if i'd walk into an unknown restaurant. Now,
there are plenty of restaurants that I had patronized over
the years that you know, they knew me, they would
take care of me. Honestly, the entire staff would probably
come to my defense if anything ever happened. But if
I couldn't walk into an unknown place, especially if I
(06:17):
was with other people, because I felt like when I'd
walk in, you'd look, you could see daggers coming out
of the eyes of people, and then you run the risk,
especially in the city of New York, of you know,
a flash mob form, and I can't put people that
I care about, love in my life and my family
at risk that way, And it just became untenable.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I had to go.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Now, you're on television quite a bit, Morande, I would
assume you're pretty recognizable.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Yeah, it's a terrible thing, isn't it, Sean, that you
would have that feeling of apprehension. I think snook for myself.
I stick in places and venues like Beach Cafe in Manhattan,
which is very cong and full of conservatives. There are
a lot of conservative New Yorkers, and so I guess
(07:05):
that's where I'm recognize most, which is.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I think a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Might be overstating it a little bit. There are some,
and there are some little safe spaces, but not a lot.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Yeah, well that is true, and for the most part.
You know, there are certain areas that you really have
to have purple hair and brainbow colored glasses to really
get by.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I think you'd look good in purple hair and rainbow
colored glasses.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
No, thank you very much, Sean. Don't let me do that.
So Upper West Side bookstores are the worst. Actually, they
still require masks or.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
The I think that now, Oh, come on, you gotta
be kidding me.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
No, they're recommended masks. I mean there are still women
in New York I see around the place wearing masks outside.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well what bothers me? And some states have adopted them.
I know it came up as an issue in New York.
I don't think they adopted it, or maybe the city
was thinking about it or debating it. I still got
the New York Post. I get the print edition down
here in Florida every day, believe it or not. And
I'd still like to, you know, feel and touch a
newspaper as opposed to looking online. And I never want
(08:11):
to miss your column, for example. But I can tell
you that, you know, in New York, things have just
changed so dramatically that I don't know. I mean, I'm
not sure that any politician in New York has a
clue how to change it. And it looks like Governor
Cormo is going to get elected mayor. That's what it
looks like to me.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Well, I hoped not, and certainly not if we have
anything to do with it. I don't think you can
really forgive the man for what he did. You know,
people forget it's the nursing homes, but it's also bail reform.
He's still denying that he did anything wrong with the
nursing homes during COVID, and he's still defending his decision
(08:50):
on bail laws as some sort of anti racism measure.
It's been awful for everybody, but I would say, particularly
for minority news, that that terrible. You know, his social
justice criminal reform, he still defends it. He created a
lot of problems for this place.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
And I, by the way, what wasn't he the guy
that created this no bail stupidity?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
He did exactly.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
That was him, and he's still defending it, and he
pretends that, oh well, you know, he came to the
New York Post editorial board the other day and he
brought along PowerPoint presentations which were really mendacious. You know,
there were it looked as if not many people died
in the nursing homes. He skewed the stats on that,
(09:37):
and then on bail reform. He had all this nonsense
about how it was important as an anti racism measure,
and he's still defending it. And it's been just disastrous
for law and order in this city. And the cops
will tell you that, and they warned about it beforehand.
And the reason that there was no big focus on
it when it started because it was January one, and
(10:00):
of course before there was a chance for everyone to
see what a disaster it was. COVID hit, so all
all the law and order and all the crime stats
were affected by that. But you know, when we came
out of COVID, crime is now through the roof, and
I know Eric Adams is trying. I think things are
a bit calmer in the city now, actually sewn because
(10:21):
because of Donald Trump. Because all these sort of illegal migrants,
a lot of them at the Roosevelt Hotel and so on,
the criminals have skidaddled and there are fewer of them,
and some of them are self deporting, and I know
he's got more plans to assist them with more of
their self deportations coming up. So that has changed a
bit in New York because the illegal aliens were responsible
(10:43):
for a lot of the new crime.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Quick Break more with New York Post superstar reporter, calumnist,
investigative reporter Miranda Devine, also a Fox News contributor. Then
we're going to get to your calls. At the bottom
of the half hour. There's Friday eight hundred and ninety
four to one Sean. If you want to be part
of the program, don't forget our Tesla contest. Go to
Hannity dot com. It is your last day to Register
(11:05):
will announce hopefully a winter next week. And today's word
of the day is now this is it your last chance?
Midnight Tonight Hannity dot Com. Anyway, quick break more with
Miranda on the other side as we continue. All right,
we continue now with Fox News contributor New York Post author,
investigative reporter columnist Miranda Divine. What do you make of
(11:28):
the promotion? And I know you wrote about this and
your column about Steven Jensen, the architect of the FBI's
kind of over zealous January sixth investigation. Not the summer
of twenty twenty rioting that took place. They didn't have that.
Where was Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger when you needed them?
But anyway to head the Washington Field office is it's
kind of confounded Trump's supporters and crushed their hopes about
(11:53):
about returning the FBI to its former greatness and bringing
integrity back. I still have a ton of confidence in
people like Cash Betel and Dan Bongino. I know they're
serious about returning it to their former greatness.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Yes, I agree, And you know I'm a big fan
of Cash Betel's and known him for some time and
was thrilled that he was heading the FBI. But you know,
it's not just me saying this. There's a lot of
very good people ex FBI and others, significant people in
law enforcement and in ceteral circles who are very concerned
(12:32):
that not enough is being done and fast enough. And
I know what I get from Cash's people is look,
you've only just got there, et cetera. But the I
guess the fact the whistleblowers have been left to dangle,
whereas three weeks ago Treasury Secretary Scott Besant took care
of the irs whistle blowers. There are FBI whistle blowers
(12:52):
who are still on you indefinite suspensions without pay, who
have not been made whole or you know, given any
kind of indication that the the injustice will be put right.
But it's not just that. I mean there's a lot
of personnel decisions and sort of transparency that hasn't come about,
(13:13):
and particularly the elevation of this guy Steve Jensen, who
was the architect of the January sixth FBI very overzealous investigation,
and you know, he's basically regarded He was very strong
about rounding up these January sixth defendants, even if they
are only had committed misdemeanor trest us. And you know,
(13:36):
there are times when in the various field officers like
I'm toddm Philadelphia and Boston officers agents were pushing back
and saying, we haven't got enough evidence for these people.
They're not domestic terrorists, They're not you know, Adartusts or insurrectionists.
And he didn't care because he was a true believer
(13:57):
in that kind of Joe Biden narrative, is that domestic terrorism,
that that attack with white supremacy, the worst attack on
democracy since Pearl Harbor. And you know, Jensen basically testified
to the Oversight Committee's Weaponization Committee that yes, he believed
all of that and that this was a terrible domestic
(14:18):
terrorism attack. And he was the boss of domestic terrorism
at Washington Headquarters, so he bought, he drank the kool aid,
and he was really as responsible as anyone else. Maybe
the other guy would be Stephen Dante, to know, who
was the head of the Washington Field office. But between
the two of them, they were responsible for the injustices
that came about in that ridiculous over the top prosecutions.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And I mean people have just walked through and we're
even being waved in that did nothing, you know, beyond
maybe you take videos. I mean, you know, giving them
five year jail sentences was beyond excessive, especially if you
believe an equal justice under the law. And not happened
to the summer of twenty twenty writers. But Miranda, I
(15:03):
wish we always had more time with you. We appreciate you,
and keep up the good work and be safe in
that Adam schiffole of a city that you live in.
Thanks Sean, all right, twenty five now to the top

Okay, anybody that names their car is weird. Don't assault
your callers. What year is your car's? Seven seven rand? New,
new and improved.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
But you know what's beautiful about it? The government can.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I don't want to hear it. There's nothing.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
I don't have electronic windows. I roll up, I rolled down.
It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Okay, keep your piece of drunk anyway. Hannity dot Com
Word of the day. Now, listen, dedicated first responders, service members,
people like US Army Major Scott Smiley, They've all played
a very high price serving our nation, our communities. Now,
this brave service member was in Iraq leading his platoon
when a car bomb detonated in front of him. Now,
(17:46):
the blast left him blind, temporarily paralyzed, but he refused
to let his injury stop his military career. Now Scott
became the first blind active duty officer in military history
before medically retiring years later. And thanks to your generosity,
friends like you, thanks to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation,
(18:06):
well we were all able to give Scott and his
family a mortgage free specially adapted smart home to help
him live more independently. Please show the appreciation the profound
sacrifices made by American heroes, the men and women that
serve our country, serve our communities, and they do so
so selflessly. And if you can join us here at
(18:27):
Team Hannity, commit to eleven dollars a month. Just go
to the Tunnel to Towers website, the letter T the
number two, the letter T dot org. That's the letter T,
the number two, the letter T dot org for the
Tunnel to Towers Foundation and some of the other news
of the day, Tim Walls. We should demonize people like
Elon musk Is now the second time after he apologized
(18:49):
for the first time, and then why not just double
down on doing it again. Listen, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
In America to be successful. We should celebrate that when
people are successful. My beef is what my beef is.
Once you get successful, don't be a greedy bastard. Not
pay your taxes, don't do that, pay your cab and
do that. But I don't think we should be the
party that demonized as someone because they're able to afford something,
(19:15):
or they're able to work hard and got something.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
What we should.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Demonize is people like Elon Musk and those people that
do that.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
And that's different.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
That's different.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And let's call on demonizing a guy that has been
getting assassin assassination threats left and right, and people firing
bullets into his dealerships and blowing up and fire bombing
his cars and his charging stations. Oh yeah, let's do that.
What an idiot. Unbelievable, It's unforgivable to me. Now, we
(19:48):
did have a little bit of a showdown that took place,
and it's got pretty interesting between.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Alex What is it?
Speaker 8 (20:00):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
How you say it?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
A senator in California saying Republicans requiring proof of citizenship
to vote?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
By the way, this is all a lie.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
It's just all a big fat lie from people that
don't want any integrity in our system of voting. They
don't want people to have confidence and the results. The
only reason you wouldn't want voter IDs, signature verification, chain
of custody controls, updated voter roles, partisan observers watching the
voting all day, vote counting all night, is because you
think you're getting a huge advantage out of it.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
Listen, Oh what Republicans are doing is once again demonizing
immigrants for the sake of making it harder for eligible
citizens to register, to vote and to cast their bouts
in elections. It's voter suppression in disguise, not so much
of a disguise. And here's the truth. It is already
illegal for non citizens to vote in our election. Our
(20:51):
current laws and protections are working. What would they say
back to it would make it harder for members of
the military, for example, when they're deployed to different base
and maybe have to be registered and it's not so
easy from not maybe being able to vote in the
next election. Or a woman who's married and changed her
last name and all of a sudden her ID doesn't
match her birth certificates. You know, this is voter suppression
(21:14):
and it's unnecessary.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Well yeah, okay, yeah, let's not have any integrity in
the system. So then this way people will always, forever
never have confidence in the results.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So stupid.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Larry Illinois This Friday on the Sean Hannity Show, Larry,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 8 (21:29):
Hi? Jean? Hey, I don't know how you feel about it,
but there's a breath of fresh air to see Carolyn Leavitt,
and the first time I saw her, I thought, oh,
this poor child. They're throwing her to a dan of wolves,
you know, and she just, I hate to say, kicked butt.
That that's she's doing it. And today was another day
just like that. And she just has a cute little smile.
(21:53):
And you know, she said she was scared of the
mouse or something. If it is, I think that's the
only thing that girl's scared of.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Listen. I think she's a rock star. I watched her
today in her White House briefing. I mean, she's got
a smile on her face, she doesn't take crap from anybody,
and she's so well informed. She barely has a note
in front of her. I don't see her look down
at notes ever. I mean, it's almost like she's doing
her own talk show every day, and she's really doing
(22:22):
a great, great bang up job. I got to tip
my hat to her. She's phenomenal. She's doing. She's gonna
be on Hannity tonight. She's amazing. Steven Miller's on tonight.
He's amazing too.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
Can I say one quick thing. Pall must be looking
down from Haven when he sees those press releases and
just smiling from ear to ear.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I will tell you this, Russia's has influenced a couple
of generations of conservatives that really help pave the way
for where we are today, and for that we should
all forever be grateful, will forever miss him.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
And there's not you know, hardly a day that goes
by it. Think about it.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I mean, he had such a profound impact on the
rise of conservatism, paved a path for any of us
that are in new media today, and that includes podcasters,
that includes anybody in new media. Anyway, have a great weekend, Larry.
We appreciate you calling eight hundred and nine to four
one Sewan if you want to be a part of
the program Vegas kadon Radio Tom next on the Sean
(23:22):
Hennerity Show.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
What's up Tom? How are you sure? What's up you? Oh?
Thank you for letting me be me.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
No, you've grown into quite the person you have become.
But my point is, Kim Jeffries and Elon Musk need
to come on your show and let them let a
Kim Jefferies try to discuss some of these democrats stupid
ideas in their philosophy, and let Elon Musk explain one
at one with him, what's being done.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Let me ask you a question, what do you think
the odds that Hakeem Jeffries is ever going to come
on my show?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Well?
Speaker 6 (23:57):
I would ask him on TV. I would say, here's
an opening. You picked the spot, you named you would
do you want me to come up to DC. Let's
do this. Let's see how all right?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Let me let me give you without mentioning names, because
I promised I would keep the conversations off the record.
There are two very, very very prominent names within the
Democratic Party ranks in their hierarchy that I have had
off the record conversations with who try and entice them
(24:29):
to come on the show. How do you think that's
worked out?
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Well?
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Until you put it out there, then the Democrats will segum, hey,
what are you afraid of?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I mean, well, I mean if I if I ask
for a private conversation, I mean I am a member
of the press, and you know it's kind of sacro
sanct if you tell somebody it's off the record, you
got to keep it off the record.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
You just do a twist what you say, though, they're
not going to tell the truth about the our meetings.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
But they're not gonna. They're not gonna, they're not gonna
tell anybody they talk to me. I'll tell you what.
Probably what they took the call was just sheer curiosity
and the promise that it would be off the record.
And if I had to guess, they probably put me
on speaker, recorded the call and had their whole office
sitting around listening to it. But I try. What I'm
(25:14):
saying is I do try to put people on. Then
you have another problem when you put like, for example,
I tried to put crazy Carvel on. I've known him
for years, I've had a good relationship with him, but
he's really gone off the deep edd and when I
put him on the show, I mean, he just was
telling a lie after lie after lie. Now I'm in
a box as a host because my audience over the
(25:36):
years has communicated to me many many times they don't
like if I end up interrupting people. But if I
interrupt every wrong thing he says, it's going to be
a never ending interruption. So I let him talk, try
and fact check them, and it just it just is.
At some point, it becomes a waste of time. If
you can't have a conversation if people are not dedicated
(25:57):
to telling even you know, it's sort of like on
the this issue, on the Save Act and all the
Democrats out there, seventy million women that got married and
and and changed their name and not gonna be able
to vote. They're absolutely lying, in full of it. But
you know, if I had a Democrat on tonight, we
were debating that they would pedal that lie and five others,
(26:19):
and I spend the entire segment either interrupting them a
lot to tell them that they're lying, or be you know,
letting him say it and then having people angry at
me because I let them say it even though I
know it's a lie, and they know it's a lie.
You see what I mean. I mean it's I can't Lindam.
Is that an honest assessment of the dilemma that I'm
putting in.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
If I put these idiots on.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Yeah, they're never going to come one. They don't want
to have a real conversation. Well, I agree with the caller, No,
they don't.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Who comes on?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, Carvval for example, car Camon and he's he's crazy, Carvel,
But I'm talking about his brain has been damaged Okay, come.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
On, Pelosi, gonna come on, hikeeen jeffries to his point, Schumer, I.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Didn't even tell you the two I told you about one.
I didn't tell you about the other one. Maybe I did,
I don't remember. Anyway, I trust me if it's an
open invitation, if they're willing to have a real conversation.
But if they're going to come on and spew lying
talking points, it becomes frustrating for my audience. And I'm
not I'm in the business of giving news, information, opinion
(27:22):
in an entertaining way. It's not entertaining if everybody's speaking
over each other. I'm long past that part of my
career anyway, and I've learned too much. My audience is
too honest with me, and they tell me very loudly
what they like and what they don't like. Anyway, appreciate
your call, Tom and ne Vegas, Don Lake Ronkonkomo. What's up,
Big Don? Welcome aboard, sir, Happy Friday.
Speaker 10 (27:43):
Hey Captain Hennity, thanks for letting me come aboard.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Listen, very welcome.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
I'd like to thank you for running the audio from
Prisident Trump's cabinet meeting. Yesterday on radio and TV. Yes, sir,
it was uplifting to hear the cabinet leaders speak, both
the President and each other, but more importantly to the public.
With the microphones and the cameras are running. It was
a full transparency on display.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
You know, I'm glad you like it. Let me bring
you behind the scenes again.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I mean, I'm watching that cabinet meeting and listening to
every cabinet official and number one, first of all, props
to the President for the level of transparency.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Number two, props to everybody that spoke because they were
so dialed in and articulate, and it's so transformational. It's refreshing.
But then I got a disc I got to make
a decision. Okay, I just assume most people didn't hear it.
I'm going to give up an hour of radio time
to do it. What's the best programming call? And I
(28:45):
just try and make the decision. What would I want
to hear? And I'd want to hear that because I
thought that was a very special meeting yesterday that really
brought people inside what.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
Goes on exactly exactly the permanent defense of Pete hegsep
back from Panama to secure the canal for the United States.
Linda McDow speaking and holding back millions from Colombia and
Cornell for their violence, their campus violence and anti semitism.
Then he had RFK speaking and he's going full steam
(29:16):
ahead to find the course a cure for autism. This
is all uplifting stuff. Sean, it was great.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
That's why I keep saying for those people that are
impatient and that are well.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Why didn't we get this done? Why?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Well, it's the President's done everything he can do on
his own and now we need Congress. And Congress, to
their credit, took the first step towards reconciliation. There are
going to be limits on this that not everybody's going
to get what they want, but it's certainly better than
what we have because we're now living under the Biden
Harris economy, and it will be a good first step.
(29:53):
October one will be here very quickly. We can return
to constitutional order and hopefully get on a path to
a bounce budget, raining spending but also prioritize where spending
needs to go, and that means the borders, and that
means energy, that means no tax on tips, social Security
or over time. That also means making the tax cuts
(30:14):
permanent so we don't have a five trillion dollar tax increase.
And also the next generation of weaponry, which is critical
because I'm pretty convinced future wars are going to be
fought in offices, not in at air conditioned offices, not
on the battlefield, and we got to have to invest
a lot of money. Don I got a roll. As
you know, it's Friday, man, time flies by. Don't forget.
(30:35):
We have a great Hannity tonight, nine eastern on Fox.

I'm perfectionist when it comes to cooking.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I find it relaxing.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
And there is no better feeling than when you're making
chicken or burger, or steak or fish or pork chops
or pork ribs. I make it all and you cut
into whatever it is that you made, and it's perfect.
I love perfect food exactly the way you like it.
And that's where chef iq Sense comes in. It's a modern,

completely wireless cooking thermometer eliminates any chance you can undercook
your food or overcook your food, no matter how you

toothpick a little bit thicker and you put it inside
your food. Then you go to the chef iq app,
