Speaker 1 (00:00):
And thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of
you for being with us. Write down our toll free
telephone number you want to be a part of the
program at is eight hundred and ninety four one Shawn
if you'd like to join us. Thank you for all
the positive feedback on the Oval Office interview. We still
have twenty more minutes to air tonight of my interview
with President Trump. We will get that in. There's so
much news. He is like breaking news and keeping promises
(00:24):
at the speed of light. It's hard to keep up
with it. I mean, just for me to list all
that he has done in these first few days in
office would take the better part of the show. The
big news, obviously is Donald Trump has been rating sanctuary
(00:44):
cities and deporting illegal immigrants, and now he's putting ten
thousand troops on the border, and it's like shock and awe,
and nobody in the state run legacy media mom that
they have no idea how to handle it. So they've
been resorting to calling him a Nazi, or him or
Elon a nazi, I mean, and focusing on everything as
(01:06):
trivial as as they always do, which has rendered themselves
irrelevant in the minds of the American people. After nine
years of doing this and failing so spectacularly, you would
think they'd learn a lesson. But they haven't. But as promised,
Donald Trump and his deportation push began in earnest. Yesterday.
I ran into Tom Homan when I was at the
White House, and he was listing how many hundreds of
(01:28):
people that they already have captured, criminals that they have deported.
I have some statistics I'll share with you in the
course of the program today. But they've been in Baltimore, Atlanta, Philly, Boston,
I believe they were in earlier today. And they're just
moving it at the speed of light, and they're rounding
up as many people as they possibly can. And by
(01:50):
the way, good luck to the New York City Police
commissioner who's not on board with Mayor Adams pledged to
cooperate with the ICE removals. What do you mean, you're
not going to cooperate? New York City will coordinate with ICE,
the US Immigration Customs Enforcement on deporting illegal immigrants. According
to Eric Adams, we're still analyzing that executive order, he said.
(02:12):
We've been constant in constant communication, but the New York
City Police chief, a woman by the name of Jessica Tish,
is not on board, and in an internal NYPD operations
memo obtained by Fox five, the local Fox news station
in New York, the police commissioner reminds officers that local
police should not be assisting federal authorities when it comes
(02:33):
to immigration enforcement. The memo emphasizes to officers that immigration
status is a civil matter, not a criminal one. Officers
are instructed to focus solely on criminal investigations without interfering
in federal immigration enforcement efforts. I mean, I guess this
is the beginning of the resistance you know you had.
(02:54):
For example, also in the New York Post, immigration officials
hit the ground running, arresting multiple violent offenders and sanctuary cities.
One hostile Haitian gang member with a lengthy rap sheet
who said he's not going back to Haiti and raged
f Trump. I want Biden forever. Without missing a beat,
the gang banger added, thank Obama for everything he did
(03:16):
for me. Bro, that's a quote. Ice officers in Boston
made eight noteworthy arrests, including multiple ms thirteen gang members,
murder and rape suspects, and one guy with eighteen convictions.
I mean, why these people in our country. I don't
It's hard to comprehend. What was the purpose of leaving
(03:36):
the borders open to allow terrorists, gang members, cartel members,
murderers and rapists in our country. Did anyone ever think
there'd be any good that came out of that? Alabama
Republican Senator Katie Britt introducing legislation to finish the wall construction.
So that's moving forward, and you know, at the speed
of light, Donald Trump is keeping his pledge and his promise,
(04:00):
and we're now up to over five hundred illegals. Many
criminals from countries all over the world are being removed,
including countries with terroritize are being removed. And it's clear
no one is above the law here. If you don't
respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty, then you will be
asked to go home. And you are not going to
(04:21):
be asked, You're going to be taken home. And that
is in law enforcement. When it comes to Donald Trump,
they want to throw the book at Donald Trump. So
I'm sure they're perfectly fine with the laws of our
land finally being enforced. The Trump administration has canceled travel
for refugees already cleared to resettle in the US. ICE
(04:41):
is resuming the term illegal alien and dropping non citizen
for people that are illegal aliens, which has always been
a part of the vernacular of our federal government. One
Afghani refugee stabbed a caseworker at a pro refugee group
at the Justice Department's emphasis emphasize immigration, threatening to prosecute
(05:03):
state local officials that resist the Trump agenda. Let me
tell you what that's called. It's called aiding and abetting
criminal behavior. And that's what a sanctuary state and city is.
By definition, Mexico's building giant shelters to prep for Trump's
promised mass deportations, as they're the ones that have also
aided and a bedded in the process. Refugee flights canceled.
(05:28):
Congress passed the Lake and Riley Act, an early win
for Donald Trump. I mean that poor girl, you know,
she should be alive today. Rachel Morin should be alive today.
Joscelyn Nungary should be alive today. And so all of
this is happening at the speed of life. Anyway, This
Trump showdown looms with Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass in
(05:50):
California because President Trump's about to visit North Carolina. He's
going to visit California, and I assume, you know, he's
gonna maybe they won't see him. Who cares if they
see him or not, that's up to them. If Cavin
Newsom wants to Trump proof California not meet with the
President of the United States, that's fine. If Mayor Bass
doesn't want to meet with the president, that's fine. Over
(06:13):
one hundred and fifty thousand signatures in two less than
two days to get rid of her. We got almost
five hundred arrests made in the first thirty three hours.
And then you just look at the background. They're coming
from Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, l Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico,
(06:36):
nic at Agua, Senegal, Venezuela. Where the people I want
to find them from Iran and Syria that we know
are in this country. I want to find those people.
But anyway, the federal officers now sweeping into these sanctuary cities,
you know, and getting a lot of these illegal immigrants,
including those that are charged with attempted murder. Want a
(06:58):
child molester holding them all for deportation, and they will
be deported. And they're going all around the country Boston, Denver, Philly, Atlanta, Seattle, Washington,
d C, Miami, and soon to come to a city
near you. If they've been aiding in a betting, in
the law breaking, then this is going to happen. And Philly,
(07:19):
Ice nabbed a twenty two year old who was detained
after violating the terms of release of the Immigration agency's
custody authorities. In Seattle arrested a Mexican national who was
convicted of sexual abuse of a miner. In Miami, Ice
arrested sixty illegal immigrants from Guatemala who were living in
(07:41):
Martin County, Florida, who had a lengthy rap sheet including battery,
child abuse, fraud, resisting arrest. And you know, when ever
Donald Trump actually said, excuse me, where they were taking
in the worst of the worst in this country. He
was not lying to anybody. And all of it is
being now, you know, it's all moving at lightning speed.
(08:06):
There was a hell of a day for the President
when it comes to his position on the world stage.
I got to tell you that, as you know, Trump
not only has moved forward with his executive actions. But
I mean he is absolutely going, you know, changing the
world order in dramatic ways as well as the president
(08:26):
you know, talked via satellite to this group in Davos.
As one one participant said, yeah, Trump won and globalism lost. Well,
we knew that on day one when he got us
out of the World Health Organization, a globalist organization, got
us out of the ridiculous climate Paris Accords, another ridiculous idea. Anyway,
(08:47):
so Trump put world leaders, business leaders on notice at Davos,
and he outlined a tax cut plan, telling the World
Economic Forum, make your product in America, and that is happening.
I was some economic news to share with you. And
what the President is saying by not going along with
what Kamalaharas desperately wanted was to join the European Union
(09:08):
in this worldwide minimum a corporate minimum tax. Well, okay,
let's say all of Europe wants to charge corporations, you know,
a twenty five percent tax rate, thirty percent tax rate.
What if the US offers a ten percent tax rate?
What does that mean? Then businesses will take out their
calculators and they'll they'll run the numbers and they'll see
(09:29):
if doing business in America will benefit them financially, and
they can make more money and have a better bottom line,
and that makes America more competitive, and that means more
Americans will have better job opportunities, career job opportunities with
big companies that spend a lot of money. It's just
simple common sense. And then Trump slammed the Bank of
(09:50):
America CEO Brian moynihan while he was speaking virtually to
the World Economic Form by the way, in Davos, Switzerland.
As far as I'm concerned, we need to get out
of all these globalist organizations, the UN in particular, they
have historically been anti American and anti Semitic, he said.
And by the way, speaking of you, and you've done
a fantastic job, but I hope you start opening your
(10:12):
bank to conservatives because many conservatives complain that the banks
are not allowing them to do business within the bank.
And that place included a place called Bank of America.
They don't take conservative business. He goes on to say.
The message also applies to JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Diamond.
And I don't know if the regulators mandated that because
(10:34):
of Biden or what. But you and Jamie and everybody,
I hope you will open your banks to conservatives because
what you're doing is wrong. Wow. I do know John
Rich and a bunch of other investors they open some
conservative bank. I don't know all the details of it.
But he just keeps moving, you know, including by the way,
signing that executive order requiring federal employees to show up
(10:56):
for work. He keeps moving at the speed of light.
Now Canada Trump effect in full force. You know, we
have a Canadian leaders now saying they want to work
with Trump. They want to resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline.
You know, you're talking about nine hundred thousand barrels a day.
I mean, that's that's a serious amount. We've got to
build refineries also in this country, especially if we're going
(11:17):
to produce more energy. Anyway, I love with this. Davos,
Switzerland attendee said, yeah, Trump won, globalists lost. Thank God
we don't. We're the United States of America. This is
what being America first means. And if it's an America's
best interest to offer businesses a greater incentive to build
(11:38):
their factories, build their manufacturing centers, make their products here,
Then why don't we do it because that will benefit
the American people. If they want a worldwide corporate minimum tax,
let them, let them have it. Samsung is now weighing
whether to re locate their dryer production to the US
because they don't want to pay the tariff that Trump
(12:00):
is going to put on foreign countries that don't have
free and fair trade. I see they're going to reopen
a jeep plant in Illinois and produce Dodge durangos in
Detroit after meeting with Donald Trump. I see that the
saudis again more of the Trump effect. They have pledged
six hundred billion dollars in US trade and investment because
(12:20):
they see the canary in the coal mine and that
the world's changing and that they want to be a
partner with the United States. That's all that means. They're
acting in their best interest, as the US should act
in our best interest. Even Sirias Sjahati boss said, yeah,
he's the guy that's going to end up bringing peace
to the Middle East because he's going to put the
fear of God into anybody that's not willing to be peaceful.
(12:43):
You know. He now has an executive water designating the
Huti rebels, just like he did with Cuba in the
final hours, Joe Biden took that designation away and he
put it right back in because they support Amas. Anyway,
He's going to redesignate the Hooties as a feign terrorist organization.
That's kind of a no brainer. He has given China
(13:04):
until February one or he's going to put ten percent
tariffs on Chinese imports because of their unfair fair trade practices,
their hostile maneuverings against Taiwan and our American Air Force
and American Navy, and of course the communist Chinese, their
intellectual property theft has to stop. Trump was very clear
(13:25):
with a post yesterday to threaten Russia with tariffs to
force putin to end this war. How many people have
to die, he wrote in that post. How many more
people have to die here? Hundreds of thousands dead for
what what's ultimately going to be a negotiated settlement in
the end. Anyway, Trump put higher education on notice but dangerous, demeaning,
(13:47):
immoral DEI teachings. He revoked Biden's order allowing transgender troops
in a bid to rid the military from DEI. He
is now seeking to stop gain of function research. We're
getting back in the space race, which I think is
a great thing. With Elon Muskin and Trump together partnering
(14:07):
at the Helm, He's calling in Doge to offload all
these unused federal buildings that we've been telling you about.
I mean, this is just the news since yesterday. This
is what's going on. It is I've never seen anything
like it. And every move is better than the every
move one's move is better than the next. All right,
(14:27):
twenty five to the top of the hour, eight hundred
and nine point one, Sean, if you want to be
a part of the program, I think the best part
of my interview with Donald Trump we have tonight part two. Also,
while I was in DC, I sat down with the
Senate Majority Leader John Thune and we had a very blunt,
honest discussion with him about the Senate and Mitch McConnell
(14:49):
and Donald Trump had what seemed like a never ending
feud and were never on the same page. And I
wanted assurances from Senator Thun things are going to change
in that relationship. But I won't give you the answer.
I'll let you decide for yourself. But we're going to
run Part one of that interview tonight, so tune in
nine Eastern DVR. Part two of my interview with Donald
(15:11):
Trump in the Oval Office. I think the best part.
We talked a lot about personal stuff with him, because
after all that he's been through and things that you know,
I wanted answers to. I hope you do too. Listen,
God forbid that moment comes and you somebody breaks into
your home, your business. You have to defend yourself and
that would be tough for anybody. Nobody wants that to
(15:32):
ever happen, right, but it happens in today's world. It's
sad and anyway, then you have to look at our
justice system and you know it could become a nightmare
in your life, even defending yourself in your own home
or your own business. We live in a time where, unfortunately,
when you have liberal prosecutors politicians, they want nothing more
(15:52):
than to make an example of law abiding victims gun
owners like you and me. And I've been a proud
member of the USCA now for over nine years and
with the USCCA, I know when I'm defending my family,
I'm not going to be standing alone. I want to
encourage all of you protect your family, protect your freedoms.
Join us. There's over eight hundred thousand safe, responsible gun
(16:15):
owners that trust the USCCA. They will have your back.
They offer situational self defense to clif this classes in
your area. They have safety and training classes, resources, and
they offer self defense liability insurance meaning if God forbid
you defend yourself and they want to put the victim
in jail, you'll have an army standing behind you. Anyway.
(16:38):
Text my last name, Hannity to the number eight seven
two to two two. Learn more about how a membership
with the USCCA will safeguard your family, protect your rights.
Text my last name Hannity, h A N n it
y to the number eight seven two to two two
today and you will be glad that you did and
we pray that never happens again. Back to this statement
(17:01):
that took place in Davos. Yeah, Trump won, the global
is lost. I love Macron's statement telling Europe to wake
up and lift their defense spending and pay the appropriate
amount for NATO and stop being so reliant on the US.
One of the best deals hopefully we'll be able to
make in the next year two years, hopefully sooner than later.
(17:26):
Is as soon as we can increase the output of
energy in this country. You know, rather than Europe being
being dependent on Vladimir Putin and other countries for their
sources of income, well maybe that could be the US,
and maybe we will provide a lifeblood of their economy.
You remember when Angela Merkele, when Donald Trump handed her
(17:48):
a white flag, This is a true story, and she goes,
what's this, Well it's a white flag. Well why why
did you give me this? Because you just surrendered what
what you by that she was surrendering her sovereignty because
she was she was going into this multi multi billion
dollar energy deal to make Vladimir Putin and Russia rich.
(18:13):
Do you see it's not a coincidence that as Russia made,
you know, billions of dollars off using their energy resources,
they had the money to build out their military, which
enabled them to fight this very expensive war that they
thought would be easier against Ukraine. But with Biden and
(18:36):
Harris providing the weaponry on the other side, unfortunately, we
became a proxy and it became a basically a proxy
war between the US and Russia, which we couldn't afford
and don't need. And the answer is what Donald Trump
has been saying, and the war, and that means they
probably will have a negotiated settlement, and there is there
(18:56):
is a deal to be had out there, you know,
a vast majority party the Donbas region of Ukraine, for example,
is Russian. But there's got to be protections for you know,
Ukrainian sovereignty. You don't want to reward people like Putin.
He's a murdering dictator, thug. However, then if this keeps going,
there's not going to be any country left in Ukraine
(19:18):
and all the people that have died and all the
people that are leaving, I mean, it's become an unmitigated disaster.
But you have half simultaneously. Russia got rich because of
Western Europe and selling energy. The Iranians were on the
verge of bankruptcy until Joe Biden and Kamala Harris got
into office, and they were bankrupt because Donald Trump was
(19:41):
enforcing sanctions preventing them from selling their energy, their oil
on the world markets. Well, those sanctions were lifted and
ignored by Biden and Harris. That allowed the Iranians to
get rich. That allowed and then of course they got
special waivers for billions and billions of dollars from countries
(20:02):
like Iraq et cetera. It's like, but Biden did everything
he could do to get the number one state sponsor
of terror rich again. And what were the consequences in
that case not very similar to what happened with Putin
and Europe and Ukraine, and that is that the number
one state sponsor of terror built up their military. They
started supplying their proxies with the weaponry, the intelligence, the
(20:28):
military strategies to go after their arch nemesis, nemesis which
is Israel, but it's also America. I mean little Satan,
Big Satan. That's very real in their world. Death to America,
death to Israel. That's very real in the minds of
these insane moula's. But they do have a common denominator
is they had the money to build the weaponry to
(20:50):
go after and fight these conflicts. The money came in
both cases from energy. That should be a sign for
every American. That may be a guidepost, if you will,
that American wealth and America could be because of the
vast resources we have with gas, oil and coal, we
(21:15):
can be the most energy rich country on the face
of the Earth. Donald Trump, in his first term accomplished
something I didn't know if we'd never see in our lifetime,
and that is we became energy and dependent for the
first time in seventy five years. Now we are producing
because of those strategies, more money because of contracts from
(21:35):
the Trump error. But the next step is not only
energy and dependence. The next step is energy dominance. What
does energy dominance means? Well, that means exactly what Trump
is doing. He's opening up a war. He's called declared
a national energy emergency, which will give him a lot
of latitude to give out contracts to these energy companies.
(22:00):
And by the way, energy companies are not evil. Energy
is the lifeblood of our economy. Energy fuels our cars,
it heats our homes, it cools our homes, and without it,
we're you know, we're at third world nation status. We're
not a developed nation at that point. And every country
(22:21):
needs it, not every country has it. And it could
give us leverage for enemy countries as well. If we
force the Iranians and the Russians, if we shut down
their energy production, they're going to look to China to
be their best customer. Oh, maybe we should make that
deal with China, and maybe China should start pulling back
(22:42):
the tariffs that they put on American cars and American products.
Maybe they should stop the intellectual property theft. Maybe they
should stop the hostile military maneuvers against our fighter jets
in an international airspace and our navy inner national waterways.
Maybe they should stop saber rattling when it comes to Taiwan.
(23:05):
Maybe maybe China, maybe it's in their best long term
interest not to have a race war, meaning a weapons
race war with the US. Maybe maybe it should be,
you know that America and China and Russia. You know,
maybe maybe it's time that you know, America have some
(23:26):
conversations with these people and realize that they can't win
that battle. We will be better, especially under Donald Trump.
I'm not worried. I've had conversations with people about our
ability to catch up with hypersonic missile technology. I've had
conversations about the next generation of warfare. I'm not wrong
(23:46):
in believing that future wars are not going to be
fought necessarily on a battlefield, but with drones and buttons
being pushed unmanned drones in most cases, and buttons being
pushed in air conditioned offices, that's going to be the future.
President Trump's vision of an iron dome is something that
(24:07):
if he is able to get that technology and put
it together and it is effective, especially against hypersonic technology.
I mean, you know, we could protect the entire United
States of America and prevent you know, what would be
just nine to eleven times a thousand from ever happening.
(24:29):
There are bad actors on the world stage. Bad actors
only understand one language, and that's the language of strength.
And you know, with all of what we're watching unfolding
before ours, you were watching history at the speed of light.
I mean, I haven't even gone over half the list
of things that Donald Trump has done. Just in the
(24:51):
last twenty four hours, he said a veiled warnings to
Mexico's drug cartels get out of here. You know. He
he's also clearing out the deep state career Justice Department
officials of being reassigned to different physicians. These are people
he can't fire. He's already fired over a thousand people,
and more firings to come. And he ordered all DEI
(25:16):
offices to begin closing by the end of business yesterday.
And then his executive order is signaling a crackdown on
pro terrorist college students. Which it's not anti free speech,
it's it's if you're if you're threatening people on a
college campus with such hatred and vile bigotry, you're a
(25:40):
threat to those people and their liberty and their freedom
to get an education. It was awful when these you know,
Ivy League schools were sending Jewish kids home, you know,
because they the pro hoom House wing of the Democratic
Party is represented by these you know, spoiled brat Ivy
League college students. More and more parents that I no,
they're all doing the same thing. They're not even way
(26:02):
they might have in the past thought about, oh what
a dream it would be to send my little son,
my little Johnny or SUSI to an Ivy League school. No,
they're not looking there anymore. They're looking south. They're looking
at the Uvas of the world. They're looking at the
Vanderbilts of the world, the University of North Carolina's of
the world, the wake forests of the world. They're looking at,
(26:25):
you know, schools that reinforce values, you know, the USC's
of the world. They're looking not the one in California,
in South Carolina. They're looking at the Clemsons of the world.
They're looking at other state schools. They're looking in South Carolina,
North Carolina. They're looking in Tennessee, they're looking in Florida.
(26:47):
They're looking for University of Miami. You see record high
applications for students now. Also, the Trump State Department is
telling under Mark or Rubio that Secretary State Rubio now
that they're telling embassies and outlets fly the American flag,
the stars and stripes only, no more pride, no more
(27:11):
BLM flags. It really Also Biden is reversed Joe Biden's
ev mandate. By the way, I'm not against electric vehicles.
I'm actually in favor of them. I think if you
want an electric vehicle, you should live in a free
country and be able to choose the vehicle of your
choice as long as it, you know, meets whatever the
minimal safety standards are. If you want to drive a hybrid,
(27:34):
drive a hybrid. If you want a gas guzzling, you know,
massive pickup truck, you ought to have the freedom to
have that too. Maybe you need it for your job.
Maybe you need it for work. Maybe your Haull horses
in it. You know, truck drivers don't want to switch
to you know truckers don't want to switch to electric vehicles.
I can tell you we talk to them often. You know,
(27:55):
the Left hasn't learned a thing. We find out Biden
granted clemency to a rug dealer convicted in a double
slaying of an eight year old boy and his mom.
You know Trump did last night in my interview, took
a swipe at Joe Biden. Now he didn't. He forgot
to pardon the most important person himself. And I could
(28:16):
tell you people are saying, well, you know, yes, the
president wants the weaponization of the DOJ to stop. However,
that does not mean that we should not have full,
complete historical knowledge of everything that the Biden syndicate did.
And now that all these family members have been pardoned,
I want to see all of them go up to
(28:37):
Capitol Hill and have to testify. They can't plead the
fifth and tell the world exactly what it is that
they did for the tens of millions of dollars that
James Comer often talks about, And what did Joe know
and when did he know it? And the country needs
(28:57):
to know that he lied when he denied ever speaking
to his son or brother or anybody about the foreign
business deals. Now that we have pictures after the election
released by the National Archives, I mean, it's absolutely insane.
We do have a terrifying New La fire, wildfire that
is spreading and could go absolutely insane again. I know
(29:18):
President Trump will be stopping in North Carolina out in California.
I don't know if Gavin Newsom or mayor Bass will
even meet with them. One a c l U lawyer
calls females, non transgender women and a rant about Trump's
executive order. We have one government agency caught deploying a
(29:40):
sneaky tactic to get around Trump's anti woke purge. Tell
you more about that later. I mean, we just got
so we got just so much on the on the
on the table. It just never ends. And the media
and Democrats, you know, they're just obsessed with their Nazi
fetish now now they just want to call Elon Musk.
(30:02):
Elon Musk is not a Nazi. You know who said so,
Prime Minister net and yah who said so? And you
know what he's not. Eight hundred ninety four one Sewan
is a number if you want to be a part
of the program.
