Your way. I get tals and saying you a conscious
sound will be desire.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Let tell.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
And if you want a little banging again, you ain't
come along.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
With the greatest economic power in the world. If we're smart.
If we're not smart, well our country very badly.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity
or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me.

Speaker 5 (00:32):
Right, this fear that some members of the media had
sometimes that they would be perceived as helping Trump if
they somehow diminished by right, that it was some sort
of zero some game.

Speaker 6 (00:44):
Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution.

Speaker 7 (00:49):
That will come in.

Speaker 8 (00:52):
To your site.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Don't the way I get tals and saying you a
conscious zn.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
The New Sean Hannity Show, more me, I'm the scenes,
information on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
All right, thanks Scott. You on an hour two Sean
Hannity's show, Toll Free. It is eight hundred and nine
four one Sean. If you want to be a part
of the program. By the way, we will announce the
winner of our Tesla contest next week on Monday. And

(01:25):
let's just say I have no idea who it is,
because I don't none at all whatsoever, had no say
in it anyway. I want to go back to we
are in our nation's capital today. By the way, Bobby
Kennedy Juniors on tonight on Fox on Hannity nine Eastern.
So pam Bondi announcing a civil suit against the State

(01:45):
of Maine Department of Education over their refusal to protect
women girls in sports. And here's the announcement from yesterday today.

Speaker 8 (01:54):
The Department of Justice is announcing a civil lawsuit against
the main Department of Education. The State of Maine is
discriminating against women by failing to protect women in women's sports.
Pretty basic stuff. This is a violation of Title nine.
The Department of Justice will not sit by when women

(02:16):
are discriminated against in sports. This is about sports. This
is also about these young women's personal safety.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
All right. That was Pambondi.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Riley Gaines, who has been probably the voice of this
movement to stop you Democrats from championing the right of
men to play in women's sports. Riley Gaines saying Democrats
supporting trends in women's sports is a misogynistic betrayal. Here's
what she said at the same DOJ presser.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I'm sure you guys saw the clips and the visuals
that surface following President Trump's executive order signing of this,
this CEO barring men from participating in women's sports within
any educational program that receives federal funding. And it was
the most amazing thing to be there. And you have
all of these young girls, I'm talking five, six, seven,

(03:07):
eight years old, They've got their jerseys on their sports uniforms,
they're big bows in their hair that they wear on.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
The soccer field.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
That visual means more to me than I could possibly
put into words. And that is what it is at
stake here. That is who Governor Mills is fighting, Not
Donald Trump. It's those little girls. And I believe that's sick.
It's regressive, is what it is. They do this under
the guise of a progress indicating we are moving in

(03:34):
the positive forward direction. No, what Governor Mills is doing,
and again, democratic governors across the nation is deeply regressive
and utterly misogynistic.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Now this all in response to Main officials now having
filed a lawsuit against the Department of Agriculture of all
places on Monday, following the agency's decision to freeze funding
to the state for refusal to reverse their transgender athlete
participation policy in schools. You might recall President Trump in

(04:08):
the same room with the governor of Maine, warning that
I'll see you in court.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Here's how that went down.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way, that's good.
But I understand Maine is the main here. The governor
of Main, well, are you not going to comply with it? Well,
we are the federal law. Well you better do it.
You better do it because you're not going to get
any federal funding at all if you don't. And by

(04:35):
the way, your population, even though it's liberal orthough, I
did very well there. Your population doesn't want men playing
in women's sports. So you better you better comply because
otherwise you're not getting any any federal funding. Every state. Good,
I'll see in court.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I look forward to that.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
That should be a really easy one. And enjoy your
life after governor, because I don't think you'll be an
elected politics.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Ouch ouch ouch anyway, joining us now to update us
on this situation.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
As MAE.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Mailman, Deputy Assistant to the President, Senior policy strategists may
welcome to the program. Thanks for being one of us.
All right, So we saw Pam BONDI, we heard from
Riley Gaines. You see what the state of Maine is doing.
What are the next steps?

Speaker 9 (05:20):
Well, this is actually pretty advanced as far as next steps,
because we gave Maine every opportunity. Both the Department of
Health and Human Services and the Department of Education both
did investigations. Obviously their violations of titlemind were pretty obvious,
but we still went through that. We sat down with them,
we asked them to change their behavior, and they refused.

(05:43):
I mean, they really wanted to violate the rights of women.
And so now with this complaint starts the legal process
where we are asking for a few things. Once, stop
doing this, stop making women compete with men in women's sports,
off for co ed. You can do all sorts of things.
You can make the men be nicer and have them

(06:05):
be more inclusive, but you can't subject women to this
sort of unequal treatment too. We want the trophies back.
We want the right winners to be named. So if
it is the female categories, those are female winners, and
then three it's damages. But not only that. If you
are found guilty of Title nine, violation, then you don't
get federal funds. It's as simple as that. You want

(06:27):
to take the money, then you have to not discriminate
against women. You can't discriminate on the basis of sex.
So they are free to not take the money if
that's what they would like to do, and then Title
nine will have nothing to say about that. But if
you want to take the money, then it's a very
very simple request, which is don't treat women and girls unequally.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, I think it's a no brainer.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Let's talk about the court system, because you can start
at a lower level, lower level court. We've been watching
the left and the radical left basically go judge shopping
in the whole of getting some type of benefit for
them starting out. Then we find out, either on appeals
or you know, maybe Appello Court judges or the Supreme

(07:10):
Court that those decisions have been going in favor of
the administration. Do you expect the same thing to unfold here?

Speaker 9 (07:17):
Yeah, So, because this law is so clear it says that,
and there's a regulation that says that if you provide sports,
you have to do it on equal terms. And if
you're making women compete with men, then obviously women do
not have equal opportunity. So I do think there's a
pretty good chance just straight up in the district court

(07:37):
that we will win this. But the reason that you know,
even if we don't, I think that there's a really
good chance in higher courts, including the Supreme Court, is
that Biden basically laid out this task case for us.
Where Biden said titlemind means that men have to play
women's sports. He outlawed women's sports, and twenty six states

(07:59):
challenged that law alongside a lot of independent group and
this went all the way up to the Supreme Court.
On an early posture and nine zero, even the liberal
justices agreed that Biden's interpretation was very unlikely and so
they allowed that injunction to stand in those twenty six states.
So we have an early indication nine zero from the

(08:20):
Supreme Court that they know that Kyle nine is a
SEFF protective statute and not a gender identity one. So
even if this takes a little bit of time, I
think that this is a good case. I think this
really does need to be cleaned up by the Supreme Court.
So we are happy to litigate this all the way
to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
I agree and we've been watching a lot of this unfold.
What do you make of HAVEVID and all of these
Ivy League institutions. Now the Administration is going to probably
cut off any funding. And they've even talked about now
places like Harvard that have said they're not going to
comply with the President's DEI executive order that now the

(08:59):
White House is saying, well, maybe they should lose their
tax exempt status.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
What is the legal standing on that?

Speaker 9 (09:04):
Yeah, so Harvard, for what reason has decided that it
wants to pick this fight with the administration, even though
we want no fight with Harvard, if Harvard just wants
to not take the federal money, and well, I.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Actually do want to fight with Harvard because I'm sick
and tired. Why should any American that works so hard
for a living, Why should every personal assistant or nurse
or construction worker, or the people the fishermen in this country,
Why should they be funding elite institutions when in fact
that's not their opportunity, And especially when they have over

(09:37):
a fifty billion dollar endowment.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
And I would.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Imagine they could afford to give every kid of scholarship
if they weren't so cheap with their own money exactly.

Speaker 9 (09:45):
So I went to Harvard Law School and I had
to take.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Out I'm sorry to hear that I'm only teasing his.

Speaker 9 (09:55):
And so, and this is you know, you spend years
and years paying it off, including the federal government has loans,
and a lot of kids don't pay it off, and
so the taxpayers end up paying it twice. And so
you know, Harvard is free if they want to discriminate,
if they want to be as crazy as they want
to be, then don't take billions of taxpayer dollars. And

(10:16):
Harvard can afford.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
To do it.

Speaker 9 (10:18):
But if you want to take the money, and Harvard
has treated this like, how dare you invade my institution?
Nobody has invaded your institution. You asked for money, you
wanted this money, and you made some promises when you
took the money to comply with federal law. One you're
not going to discriminate on the basis of race or
national origin, which you clearly do, which a court found

(10:38):
that you did. And two that you're not going to
discriminate on the basis of sex. And I would be
shocked if Harvard had a female dorms that were all female, right,
like the policies at these universities are insane.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
And although the ironic part is these universities are all woke.
And if all these harassment discrimination policies in place, you
can discriminate based on race and sex and orientation, you
can't discriminate or make people feel uncomfortable, and you better
use the proper pronoun But it's perfectly okay. As we

(11:12):
saw at least a phonic tear, just rip apart all
these presidents of these elite institutions apart because their hypocrisy reeks.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
But it's okay.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know, on Columbia University's campus, when kids were asking
are you a Zionist or not? And if they were
a Zionist or if they were Jewish or Israeli, they
weren't even allowed to walk past their encampment that they
took over on the college campus exactly.

Speaker 9 (11:39):
And so Harvard has so much to lose here. Yes,
it's the money, but they get a lot of benefits
over having a positive relationship with the federal government and
they're throwing that all in jeopardy. And you know what,
at the end of the day, fine, you want to
try and make it on your own and use your
own endowment and not have it any perks from the

(12:01):
federal government, not have taxpayers, not have moms have to
take out a second job and not see their own
kids so that Harvard can have a few extra billion dollars.
Then that's Harvard's choice. But this is no federal takeover.
This is Harvard's choice, and they still have the opportunity
to choose the right thing.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
All right, we really appreciate your time, Mary Melman, thank
you so much for being with us.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
I hope you'll come back again.

Speaker 9 (12:23):
All right, Thanks An.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn is a number
you want to be a part of the program. All right,
let's get to our busy phones. Let us say hi
to Bruce in California, the United Socialist Utopia of California.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
What's up, Bruce? How are you glad you called?

Speaker 10 (12:39):
Hey, Sean, thanks for taking the call. I'm calling on
the topic of conversation from yesterday with the Democrat senator
going to El Salvador to try and sanction this criminal.
And I got to tell you, man, I am just
appalled that the Democrat party would partner to get a
terrorist out of prison in aign country to bring him

(13:01):
back to American soil where we have so many problems
in this country. This is what they concentrate on. They
concentrate on the negative. They don't want to do anything
for the American people. They want to do everything for
the opposite So we should just call them the opposite party.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Well, this is insane, and this Chris van Holland, who's
looking for all this publicity enacting like a jackass, and
frankly he had to leave. He wouldn't even get a
phone call with the guy that he's talking about. I've
gone through this in great detail and specificity, and I'll
do it again if you want. But this is not

(13:38):
an American citizen. If I hear one more time, as
we played in the first hour today, a Marylander. He's
a Marylander. He's not a Marylander. No, he's not a Marylander. No,
not at all. I mean, you know, you want to
talk about the face of hypocrisy and the phoniness of
the Democratic Party. Why didn't this guy pick up a phone,

(13:58):
pick up a phone and call the mother of Rachel Morin,
who was a mother of five that was brutally raped,
brutally murdered by this illegal immigrant from l Salvador on
a Maryland hiking trail. He couldn't find the time to
do it, Nor could Joe, nor could Kamala, nor could
Alejandro Majorcis. He couldn't find it either. Or when twenty

(14:22):
year old Maryland woman Kayla Hamilton was raped and murdered
in her own Maryland home by another illegal from Al Salvador,
Chris Holland did nothing. And I'm just sick and tired
of hearing, Oh, he's a Maryland or Maryland or Maryland. No,
he's an El Salvadorian. That would be the more accurate description.
And not one judge, but two judges said, in fact

(14:46):
confirmed that he was a gang member. And you know
MS thirteen, What else do you want to know? And
this guy's rushing before every microphone that he possibly can.
He's not a Maryland man at all. He's not an American,
he's not this guy's constituent. He was not in our
country legally, he had no right to be here. And
Rachel Morin and Kayla Hamilton should be alive today except

(15:11):
for weak, pathetic jackasses and publicity seekers like Chris Van Holland,
who is trying to exploit a situation manipulate and lie
to the American people, just like they lied for four
years and said the borders closed and the border secure.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
And that was a big, fat lie too.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
And as far as I'm concerned, all of them have
blood on their hands, all of them.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
They're responsible for this.

Speaker 10 (15:35):
When you saw her mother in the Oval office with
the President, you saw her heart was on her sleeve.
It was horrible, terrible.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Had her on the show two nights ago.

Speaker 10 (15:47):
Horrible, it was horrible.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
And they never picked up a phone and called Patty
Moore and Rachel's mother. They never called Alexis Nungary, Joscelyn
Nungary's mother. They never called the family of Lake and Riley.
Now I've spoken all three of those families and others
that have lost loved ones. The number of rapes, murders,
and other violent crimes committed against Americans it is now

(16:11):
in the thousands and every one of them. I place
on those people for doing what they did, and it
was done by design. It's pretty disgusting. Eight hundred nine
four one. Shawn is on number. If you want to
be a part of the program, we are in the
swamp or in Washington, DC. Remember Monday on this program,
we will announce the winner of our tesla. You may

(16:32):
want to be tuning in. It may be you. All right,
we'll take a quick break. We'll come right back. Your
calls straight ahead. Eight hundred nine four one Shawn as
we continue, all right, twenty five now till the top
of the hour. Eight hundred and nine one Shawn is
a number you want to be part of the program. Look,
healthcare matters to everybody, and there's so many different, great

(16:53):
innovative ways to change our healthcare system. Tell the medicine,
why isn't that an everyday thing? Or Doctor Josh umber Atlas, MD,
concierge care for adults twenty four hour access to doctors,
three hundred and sixty five days a year, fifty bucks
a month. You get a catastrophic plan with it? Oh,
healthcare cooperatives they're called. Or what about healthcare savings accounts?

(17:17):
You know we talked about that. The Cato Institute wrote
a book years ago, Patient Power. We all know, especially
after COVID, that the medical system is a complete mess
and you have got to be proactive in terms of
your own health, your family, your medicine.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
And we have a new partner on this show.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
It's called Jace Medical, Jasee Medical, and thank goodness, they're
thinking out of the box and they're putting power back
in your hands so you can be proactive, not reactive,
if God forbid you or somebody in your family gets sick. Now,
I met doctor Rolanie about a year ago, and we've
been looking at this type of partner for our show

(17:58):
for a long time, over a year, and we're excited
to bring this awesome opportunity to you. And look, we
did a full vetting of Jays Medical. I'm going to
tell you this is a company you need to trust
for your medication supply. Remember, ninety plus percent of our
antibiotics come from China. I'm not really trust in China
much these days, not that I ever trusted him. And

(18:21):
the beauty is you're going to want to order everyone
listening to my voice a Jase case. I just got
my Jay's case and in it you will find emergency
prescription antibiotics. You will have it in your house before
you need them. Smart thing to do. Everybody should do this.

(18:42):
That means you and your family will be prepared. This
is fast, this is affordable, this is incredibly easy, and
you put in your application, a doctor will review it
and it will be shipped directly to your door. You
will then have it and be prepared for any scenario
where you're not gonna have to worry about. Oh, I'm

(19:02):
wonder if my pharmacies out of antibiotics right now.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Anyway, Linda, you got your Jay's case.

Speaker 7 (19:07):
I did.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
I got it the other day.

Speaker 11 (19:08):
First of all, it's very nice. It's a nice green color,
very appealing for those of you out there who care
about that. But it's awesome you can fill it. First
of all, you put all your allergies in there, so
you got a penicillin anllergy. You're not going to get
antibiotics that are going to make you sick. It's catered
to you. I ordered yours as well, Sin since I
know everything about it.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
You did you put an HCQ in it.

Speaker 7 (19:25):
I did put HCQ.

Speaker 11 (19:26):
I've remecked in all the amazing things.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
All the things that you can't get.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Unbelievable anyway, it's simple, all of you write this down
and it's and it's very affordable. It's jasee dot com.
Use the promo code Hannity. You get an exclusive discount.
That's Jasee dot com promo code Hannity. Every one of
you needs to do this today, all right, eight hundred
nine to four one, Shawn is a number if you

(19:51):
want to be a part of the program. We're in
our nation's capital. Let's get to our busy phones. Say
hi to Doug and Maryland. Doug High, how are you
glad you call hi?

Speaker 12 (20:00):
Sean. I just want to make a comment and I
have a question for you. Van Holland has a nickname
done here and it's Van Holland.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Will waitman, Let me guess jackass, idiot, stupid moron?

Speaker 12 (20:11):
Which one Wiggle's worthless because he's always wiving himself into
the spotlight and Wiltwin.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
I like that. That'll work. Wiggles worthless works.

Speaker 12 (20:19):
My question is, if let's say he's able to free
this person to illegal can he be charged with the
smuggling and or treason since they're on the watch list.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
He's not gonna be No, I don't it's I don't
think he's going to be successful. I'll tell you why
because the president of l Salvador. I don't see any
chance in hell that he's gonna let this guy go.
Not gonna happen on his watch. This is an El Salvadorian.
I mean, I keep going back to the fundamentals in
the basics here. He is not a Maryland man, he's

(20:49):
not an American, he's not a constituent of Van Holland,
he's not in the country legally. He has no right
to be here. And if not one, but two courts
designated this guy part of what is now designated as
a terrorist organization MS thirteen, the president had not only

(21:09):
a right, he had a duty and an obligation.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
It's get him the hell out of here.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
And if Van Hollen is somehow you know, if what
he called him, wiggles wiggles worthless, wiggle worthless, If wiggles
worthless is somehow successful, I suggest that the guy lived
with him, right inside his house, and let's see how
impressed he is with his great work. I don't think
I want a guy that two judges said was an

(21:34):
MS thirteen gang member now designated a terror organization.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
I don't think I want him living with me. You
want him living with you either. He's a wife beater.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Why is the wife then advocating so that's true? She
not only filed once she filed twice. PAMBONDI was on
last night, and you know said he punched her and
beat her with.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
His shoe, with a shoe, with a shoe, gave her
a black eye.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
He used a baseball bat on me one day. I
never forgot that day. I did no and no. But
in all seriousness, I mean, I don't understand how a
woman that was beaten and twice reported.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
This guy called battered wife syndrome. It does have a
same thing, and and she's now fighting for this guy.
I don't know. I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
And why didn't your senator, mister Wiggles, Why didn't mister
Wiggles get involved and even pick up a phone and
call Patty Moore and the mother of Rachel Moren. Why
didn't he pick up a phone and call Kayla Hamilton's family.

Speaker 10 (22:31):
What?

Speaker 2 (22:31):
There's too much effort, time, too much work. I mean,
this guy is screwed up in the head. I'm watching
these the obsession. He's like Chuck Schumer. You don't ever
get between a camera and Chuck Schumer. God help you. Anyway,
I appreciate the call back to our busy phones.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Let's say hi.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
George in Florida, my free state, George, I will be
back tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
I hope you miss me.

Speaker 6 (22:59):
I will, Joe.

Speaker 7 (23:00):
Yeah, I sure did it. It's eighty five degrees down here, though,
so it's you know, but I'd rather have it a
little bit cooler right now in April.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
But I'll be honest, I like eighty five degrees. I'll
take eighty five degrees, nice, nice ocean breeze any day
of the week.

Speaker 11 (23:14):
That pasty Irish skin.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Why what are you so proud of?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
No, if I walk outside, I have long pants and
a long sleeve shirt on an hat.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I'm not saying I'm getting some burned. I like what
is going on.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
But I love my workoutside, my workout, which I kept.
I built my Doziell in my garage and I work
out in the garage and I sweat like crazy.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
I love those workouts.

Speaker 11 (23:34):
You wearing Hawaiian shirts?

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Now, no, I don't want.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
No, all right, stop, no god collar Hawaiian. No anyway, continue, George.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
Sorry, Yeah, I'm sitting out on the here underneath a
tree right now. My mom, my Irish mom, sitting in
the house because she doesn't want.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
To So wait a minute. So you're off work today?

Speaker 7 (23:53):
Yeah, yeah, I'm off work. Yeah, I work actually at work.
I work part times right now, so I'm actually semi retired.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
So I got nice.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
So maybe maybe in the next break you can go inside,
make yourself a little cocktail, and go back outside, hang
out under the tree and listen to the rest of
the show. I think that'd be the perfect day, and
then have one more cocktail. Watch Hannity tonight at nine.
We have RFK Junior in studio. It'll be fun.

Speaker 7 (24:19):
Oh yeah, we got that. We got the nine o'clock
already tagged goose to my mom and I my wife.
So so the reason why I called, I wanted to
ask you. With all the stuff going on the news,
I'm gonna ask you the same question I asked I
asked Rush Limbaugh back in twenty seventeen. Do you think
the mainstream legacy media will ever change? Sean? Do you

(24:39):
think they ever change?

Speaker 2 (24:41):
You know, by the way, we miss Rush, we miss
his voice. We miss this incredible intuitive insights and wisdom
every day and that booming voice I heard Sean.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Hannity is up next.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
But do I think it's a lot has changed since
he passed away? And what has changed? And look, you
get to fire me anytime you want. If you don't
watch my show, you don't listen to my radio show,
I won't have a job because I won't have an audience.
The only network that is thriving is Fox. The only

(25:16):
shows that are thriving are shows like this. We're now
over seven hundred and fifty radio stations, and we're on
a serious XM, and we podcast the audio to the show.
So when you look at the total numbers, the only
shows that are successful that are ones that offer news,

(25:36):
information and opinion, and little entertainment that you're not going
to get anywhere else, and one other important component and ingredient.
We tell you the truth. I've gone through a laundry
list of cases where we've been right, they've been wrong.
It goes all the way back in my career. I
was right about Richard Jule. We were right about Ferguson Missouri.

(25:59):
We were right about Duke Lacrosse. We were right about UVA.
We were right about George Zimmerman. We were right about
the Russia hoax, we were right about Bizon abuse. We
were right about with the only ones vetting Kamala Harris,
vetting Barack Obama Obama's radical associations. You know, we played
Kamala in her own voice, Tim Walls and his own voice,

(26:21):
So that's not stuff that they do. So the answer
to your question is they're done. They have lied too
many times and there's too many alternatives available for people now,
and you don't We're no longer. You know, they had
a monopoly. The monopoly is broken, it's over now. If
you want to be successful, you better tell your audience

(26:42):
truth and you better give them news, information opinion that
they're not going to get elsewhere. That I think is
the single reason why we have been successful, and so
many others have tried to come after us and they've failed.
The number of people that have been up against me
in cable over the years is just two many to count.
And now we beat often on a lot of nights,

(27:03):
will beat ABC, NBC, and CBS, will be the number
one showing all of television, not just cable. It's crazy.
So I think that it's a very different environment. So
I'm sure that was a different answer than Rush gave you.

Speaker 7 (27:14):
Right, Yeah, well he said, you said before the legacy
media had a monopoly on the news, and what that did.
It gave them the opportunity to report what they wanted
to and want to ignore. And then when you and
and where Rush came along, that became a full fledged
alternate media. And what that did is it made people

(27:37):
who know who are not being fairly represented by the
news realize that, hey, there are people who think like
me and stop. And that gave us a voice and
gave us a power. And and that's why it's you know,
really important right now during this time, is to continue
to have other voices out there. And what we need

(27:58):
to do. Sean is just a band, and we need
a band in the legacy and mainstreament.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Let me let me tell you something, his little secret
people have abandoned them. I see their numbers. They used
to get five times the numbers they're getting today. They
have no audience, no influence. And we saw that on
November fifth because they threw everything they had at at
Donald Trump and they lost. They got their asses kicked.
And I'll add one thing. You got to get props
to Rush. He paved the way for all of us

(28:26):
that followed, and he had to forge the path, and
he took a lot of heat for doing it. They
wanted to destroy him from day one. Anyway, I do
appreciate your call, my friend. You hold down the fort
while I'm here in the swamp. I'll be back. I'll
take a quick shower as soon as I arrive home.
Eight hundred nine Shawn is a number if you want
to be a part of the program. All right, let's

(28:47):
get back to our busy phones. Eight hundred nine four
one Shawn our number if you want to be a
part of the program. Alabama, let's say hide to Robert.
You're on the Sean Hannity Show.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
Very Sean Goods.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (29:02):
It takes forever to get through to you.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
I'm glad you made it. How you doing, I'm.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
Doing all right, listened to you all the way back
to Hannadine Combe's days.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
I appreciate it. What part of Alabama?

Speaker 6 (29:17):
You in South Alabama? Place called Andalusia.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
I know where Andalusia is.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I was in Huntsville, Alabama, actually Athens, Alabama, but the
Huntsville Metro and I was a local radio host for
two years of my life.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Loved it there.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
Yeah. My question is, and now that I've been listening,
you know, there's a plethora of other topics I'd like
to talk to, but I know I've only got a
couple of minutes. I want to know what you think
and what you know about the Chinese president going on
his little Asian tour and speaking to all these other countries.

(29:58):
Obviously he's trying to go behind in the United States
back and try to undercut hard deal or whatever. What
do you know about that in those conversations?

Speaker 2 (30:09):
If anything, I know that that China has taken a
very aggressive posture, and we went into a great specificity
in detail on this show yesterday I won't repeat myself.
And they've ratcheted up of tarror for with the United States.
And on the other hand, you have one hundred and
thirty other countries that want to come to trade and

(30:33):
terror for agreements with the US. There are fifteen solid
deals on the table, I believe. Is it Japan today.
I think Japan is now negotiating with the US today.
My expectation is is that in fairly short order, pretty quickly,
we're going to get deal after deal after deal after
deal after deal, and forty fifty sixty years worth of

(30:57):
America being ripped off and abused is going to come
to an end. And I think it will be beneficial
for our country or American workers, for our economy that
the President took this stand as it relates to China.
I think at some point down the road, they're going
to realize that they're going to want access to our

(31:20):
markets and more countries. I promise you will side with
us than side with China.

Speaker 6 (31:25):
Oh, I believe that. I believe that we become dependent
on China they make I'm sure we can get products
elsewhere we don't have to deal with China.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Well, I totally agree.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
I think the more that we can be independent of anything,
any vital. Anything that is vital to our economy, our
national security, and our health I believe needs to be
made in the US. And to watch even foreign automotive
manufacturers now wanting to expand facilities in the I think

(32:02):
is a sign that Donald Trump's threat of a tariff
and reciprocal tariffs has worked. The eight trillion dollars in
committed investment over the next four years is evidence it's working.
And I think it's in America's best long term interest
to get this thing resolved and get rid of the
institutionalized thinking that has guided Washington for far too long.

(32:25):
I appreciate the call God bless you. Rolltide war Eagle.
I'm not sure what side you're on, but you're on
one of them,
