Speaker 1 (00:00):
Going up next our final news round up and Information
Overload Hour News round up in Information Overload Hour. Here
is our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program, eight hundred and nine
to four one Sean if you want to join us, Linda,
did you see the big article in the New York
Post today? It's all over online and you got the
(00:23):
concert kiss at a Cold Plate concert And there's a
huge couple and they're holding and they're all affectionate, and
they're living in the moment and they're hearing the music
and they're feeling it. And then all of a sudden
they get put up on the big jumbo tron inside
the I guess it was that with the Patriots play
(00:44):
Fox Stadium, Gillette Stadium is what they call it. And anyway,
and apparently they didn't want the world to know they
were together. I'm not making any inference at all whatsoever.
Did you happen to see that?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I hadn't heard about it. It's so quiet about that
whole situation, all right, It's.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
All it's everywhere online. You have seen it, and you
saw the cover of the New York Post today, and
you know exactly what I'm talking about. It was interesting
too that apparently the wife of the guy yeah, went
on to social media and Facebook and apparently deleted her
married name. According to Tim, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm sure she had a clue because she did that
with a quickness that wasn't even like a pause. She
was like, all right and we're done. I don't know
why he took her to a Coldplay concert. There's so many,
you know, dark, dingy restaurants that you can cheat on
your spouse, and won don't you do that?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
You go to, know, a Coldplay concert for Maybe I'm
old fashioned, maybe you shouldn't be cheating in the first place,
just the thought.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Listen, you're an idealist and I love it. But I mean,
these people are obviously going to do it. I mean,
it's just unless they wanted to get caught. Maybe they did,
who knows.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
House Republicans now have given final approval to President Trump's
request to claw back about nine billion dollars from public
broadcasting and foreign aid early Friday, as Republicans now are
intensifying their efforts to target these radical leftist institutions. By
the way, why are we spending nine billion of your
(02:15):
hard earned tax dollars on this. Anyway, Here's a poor
Humpty dumpty. I didn't even know he still existed, he said,
fake new CNN again. Anyway, he's back, Humpty Dumpty. I
thought they couldn't put him back together again. Apparently they
did temporarily, probably with some glue which may not last long.
According to reports, CNN may not be around long anyway.
(02:38):
Here's him complaining about it.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
This is the end of a publicly funded media era.
This dates back to the days of black and white television,
you know, back in the sixties Congress solid value for
PBS and MPR.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
But no more, no more, that's right, And we have
plenty of propaganda left wing channel CBS, NBC, ABC, fake news,
although they may not existed in some time. And then
of course MSDNZ. Then you have the major newspapers New
York Times, Washington Post, and the list goes on and on. Anyway,
(03:12):
here to weigh in on this, and of course the
demise of Colbert, which we are very sad about, just kidding.
The betting odds are Jimmy Kimmel is next. These are
Hannity betting odds, not real ones. Carol Roth two times
New York Times best selling author You Will Own Nothing
and recovering investment banker. Our friend Mark Simone, host of
(03:32):
the number one New York Morning show, to talk about
this and so much more. Good to talk to you both,
Carol roth LOOPSI Daisy, I guess no more tax payer
dollars for MPR PBS. Why would we ever need it?
You hear about all these mergers and acquisitions that are
going on in media, all these cable networks that are
(03:55):
going under. You can't even give a lot of these
cable channels. They're not profitable. They're running fifteen year old
reruns of some dopey program that nobody really even watched
back in the day. So there's plenty of channels, there's
plenty of places. Why should taxpayers be paying for this?
And they have an agenda that's left wing?
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah, but techpairs should not be paying for it. And
you reference Humpty dumpty talking about nineteen sixties. It's not
the nineteen sixties anymore. Back in the nineteen sixties there
were a handful of channels and not much in the
way of programming, And now we have more programming than
we know what to do with. So certainly if there
is an audience for NPR, which it seems like there
(04:39):
is a robust audience, and certain shows that go on
to PBS, those can be funded just like every other
show in the free market, with advertising, with subscriptions. That's
what we do.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
When we have.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Things that people want, we don't need to use taxpayer
dollars to shove them down people's throats, particularly when they
end up being a propag under arm of the left wing.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Let's got your take, the great Mark Simon, sir well.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
The argument is that in the rural areas, that's where
they need NPR and PBS. First of all, I guarantee
you it's no rural farmers who want to listen to
some Trump bashing from some elitist New York broadcasters of
NPR PBS. O.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Whoa, did I just hear mister New York You and
Curtis Leewa, mister the vote the tomb, mister new York's
New Yorkers, of all New Yorkers, Did I just hear
you trashing that that one greatest city in the entire world,
New York City, that the home that you love, the
home that you're never going to.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Leave, were the first we got conservatives.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We got that's why, No, no, you really don't. You
don't have a lot of them. And the only way
Curtis and I hope Curtis wins is you're going to
have four Democrats splitting the vote equally. In that my
pave a path for him.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Curtis is going to win this time. Things have changed
here Mom, Donnie is thinking things are going to change. Hey,
the other PBS opportunities, they said, Sesame Street is so
important for kids. Sesame Street makes about a billion dollars
a year in merchandising, and all this it can more
to say for itself. It doesn't need any funding.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I mean, I think it's a good point. All right,
let's move to our friend. Stephen Coleberry made an announcement
about the Late Show last night. Here's what he said.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Before we start the show, I want to let you
know something that I found out just last night.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Next year will be our last season. The network will
be ending the Late Show in May. And wow, what's
your reaction, Karl Roth?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Well, you know, Sean, when you have a comedy and
variety show where you bring back recurring guests like Stacy
Abrams four times and Adam Shipp and you have musical
numbers that feature dancing vaccines. I for one, am shocked
that that is not playing well with the core demographic.
This is a show that pup News reports cost more
(07:09):
than one hundred million dollars to make and has been
losing tens of millions of dollars for a long time.
So there are people out there who are going to
try to paint it as a political maneuver. But the
reality is that nobody wants to hear somebody who is
a left wing goold at them for hours on something
(07:30):
that's supposed to be comedy and variety. And so you know,
it's surprising that they haven't made this cut earlier, but
I think it certainly doesn't bode well for some of
Colbert's counterparts on the other network either.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I've been saying for some time Mark Simone that all
of these not funny so called comedy shows that they
were all on official cancelation Watch. And the reason it
was so so transparent to me is because I get
an opportunity that few people get every day, and that's
to look at ratings, and the shows have deteriorated to
(08:10):
numbers that are so spectacularly low that it's impossible to
justify two hundred employees and losing one hundred million dollars
a year using Carrol's numbers. And the show's bad, and
you can't make it any worse. They're not even good
at political commentary.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Now Gutfeld gets much bigger ras. You got. The whole
thing is fourt cheers and a staff at twelve. He
gets much bigger numbers. You know, when they created Late
Night in the nineteen fifty three Steve Allen started. The
idea was comedians entertainers. You have some laughs, you relax
before you go to sleep. Who was to get angry
and watch Adam shift before they go to sleep and
(08:49):
you're gonna have nightmares all night?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It's definitely. But Carson was funny, Jade Leno was funny.
He wasn't really political. If he wanted to make another
Monoco Lewinsky joke, he would make it. These guys became
really hyper partisan. Now I could say in good humor,
like John Stewart, over the years has has has gone
(09:14):
after me, but I will tell you it makes me laugh.
There have been times that it had been rip roaring funny.
The same thing with Bill Maher. Bill Maher's torn me up,
but I laugh. At least they have some sense of
objectivity and they understand their mission is to make people laugh.
When did they lose any sense of mission? Mark?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Well, first of all, to be funny, you got to
be like a kind of an every man like Jay
Leno or Johnny Carson or you know, you realize you're
a normal guy. But Colbert is this weird, elitist, to
smug New York sort of a guy. You know, for
the first nobody remembers this. His first year twenty fifteen,
he tried doing a comedy show just being funny, and
(09:55):
he was in the last place and close to cancelation.
Donald Trump came along and that's when he went total
Trump derangement syndrome. Turned it into MSNBC with jokes and
took off. But it wasn't a formula for the real
long run. Now it's killing them.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I didn't I don't think it killed them.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
The big question I'll ask both of you, the same
question is who's next? I say, the odds are these
are Hannity odds eighty twenty. Kimmel is next? Carol?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, Well, first I've got to say, I think that
we're going to see Colbert do a podcast in a substack,
because that's a clear trajectory here. But I'm with you, Sean.
I think that if you look at the ratings and
also just the general talent level, I think that Kimmel
certainly is the next of mine.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Mark Simone ninety five five, it's Kimmel. You can't cancel
the Tonight Show. That is the original. That's the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I hate to tell you. They already cut it back
to four days a week. I think they cancel on
the Tonight Show.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
May be able to do it one day at a time.
But the good thing about Fallon he can recover, he
can switch back to mainstream Comedy's a brilliant impression. This
great sketch to me, and I think deep down it
he'd rather just do comedy and be funny. He could
switch to that. Kimmel can't do it too angry.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I actually, I actually of the three of them, he's
the least political. But none of them come near Gottfeld
in my view.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Oh I mean Gutfeld. It's brilliant, it's fun, it's it's
what it's supposed to be, you know, And people don't
realize the idea that I mean, for Colbert, I have
one hundred and thirty million dollar budget, two hundred dollars staff.
It's the guy who preaches about income inequality. He's getting
twenty million a year. Everybody else is getting a dollar
fifty on the show, and he's lecturing America. I mean,
(11:49):
he just wasted more money. He should have seen it coming.
The budget was more than literally more than most Major
League Baseball teams.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
All right, quick break, right back more with Karra raw
Mark Simon on the other side. Your calls coming up
as well. Right down our toll free number. It is
eight hundred and nine to four one sean if you
want to be a part of the program. Whatever is
on your mind this Friday as we continue. All right, so,
I'm sure all of you saw this viral video of
this couple at Coldplay and the jumbo tron pans to
(12:21):
them and then lo and behold they're ducking and dodging
and diving away, and even the frontman of Coldplay, Chris Martin, goes, well,
either they're having an affair or they're very camera shy.
I have no idea what was really going on, but
it certainly doesn't look good. And then the wife of
(12:42):
the guy on the jumbo tron apparently when on Facebook
and deleted or name. What's you take, Carol?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Yeah, first of all, Sonia, I come from the corporate
corporate America, and I never really knew what human resources did,
and now I think I haven't.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You had no idea of all. This is a whole
new definition of it.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, I didn't know that was their function. But first
of all, it's a It's a perfect example. You should
not be doing the crime if you can't act cool
about it, if they pan to you. Them panicking is
really what created the viral moment. If they had just
played it off, she had done a twirl, they had danced,
I don't think it would have gone viral. But once
the Internet got a hold of that, they were undefeated.
(13:25):
But I do have to say that, you know, the
downside of this is the you know, the people who
are innocent here, these spouses, the kids who may be involved,
who wanted no part of this. They're going through something
that's awful, and now you know their parents have become
an internet meme and their spouses have become an Internet meme.
And my heart really goes out because while we all
(13:47):
have a laugh at oh can you believe these people,
there are real people here who are getting hurt. And
I do feel very bad about that.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
First of all, this CEO, he doesn't seem like a
great strategist. You're supposed it when you're cheating, go to
out of the way restaurant or a hotel, not a
mainstream concert with twenty you.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Are you an expert on this topic. I'm trying to
understand where that came from.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
I've heard some things about it, but you don't go
to a concert where twenty thousand of your friends and
neighbors are going to be and if the camera comes on,
you smile and wave. If your wife says anything, always
like fifteen of us from the office went they just happened.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
To he had her arms wrapped around or their hands
were inner locked and like very close to the chest area.
All right, I have a question mark when you fill
in on this show, and now we get a great
response when you do. Does Linda go m as a
sign of disapproval of something either you say or refuse
(14:43):
to say?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Are you saying? Was ever a time where Linda held
her tongue where she didn't say what she was thinking.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
All right, Carol roth arkso bone, thank you both. We
appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Listen, everyone needs to be prepared to be safe. God forbid.

Towers Foundation is making a lasting difference in real lives,
The lives of people in the Ernst family, for example,
and when US Navy Chief Petty Officer Michael Thomas Ernst
was killed in a training accident, Tunnel to Towers they
provided a mortgage free home for him and his loving family.
You made that happen. And since Tunnel to Towers was
(17:29):
founded in the aftermath aftermath of nine to eleven oh one,
the Ernst family is one of many that people like
you stepped up and helped. And you have helped empower
our most catastrophically injured vet's first responders to reclaim their
independence by providing specially adapted smart homes. But there's so
much more to do, many more heroes, their families. They're
(17:51):
still in need, and we can't forget them. They do
so much to protect our way of life, our communities,
our country, American heroes. They gave it all together. We
can say thank you in a very lasting and meaningful way.
Please donate generously. Go to their website. It's the letter T,
the number two, the letter T dot org. The letter
(18:11):
T the number two, the letter T dot org for
the Tunnel two Towers Foundation. All right, let us get
to our busy phones. Norman, he's in Long Island, New
y Walk. What's up, Norman? How are you, sir? How's
my old stomping rounds? Does it miss me at all?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We all miss the schean.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I agree with you, speaker. And yesterday on a talk show,
but I think it was buck Sexton show, they said,
let New York fall, so teach the Democrats a lesson.
I don't think that's a good idea. Biden said the
same thing, just a small incursion into Ukraine. Look at
the mess it's in. You never get back quite near.
I think New York has to be treated like the Alamo,
(18:53):
and you have to fight what the people in the
Alamo for it to win this battle to keep New
York the way it is.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
New York is not the way it is. And you know,
I left officially out the door at the end of
twenty twenty two, and I'm just telling you it's not
the same. It is a change state. And I'm talking
about law and order, safety and security. I'm talking about
high taxes, I'm talking about burdensome regulation. I'm talking about
(19:24):
quality of life issues. I mean, things are deteriorating day
in and day out. And what's happened Norman Is companies,
every big Wall Street firm, private equity firm, banking institution,
other investment firms, they have all moved at least half
their operations to Florida. And when I say Wall Street South,
(19:47):
it is very, very real. And I know because I
have many friends that lived in New York and they're
much happier living in South Florida, where these companies are
now building their headquarters and off this communist Marxist get selected.
I'm telling you there's never going to be any saving
New York City. It's over.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, that's what I'm saying. And that's why we have
to fight to keep New York at least halfway or
the way it is today, and improve it, not make
it worse. Otherwise it seems couldn't have spread, just like
the war in Russia. These guys never quit. They're just
going to keep on going and going and try to
flip other cities.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Well do you think it was wrong of the people,
and you can speak your mind freely here, wrong of
people like me to just throw up my hands and
say there's no hope and give up and go to
a place where frankly I was welcomed. I was not
welcome in New York. I mean there were many instances
I'd walk into a public place, I don't care if
it's a grocery store or a restaurant or something, and
(20:46):
I'd look or you read the room, and you see
nothing but discussed on people's faces because they don't like
my politics. It got to a point I didn't feel
safe putting other people in a situation like that with me.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
But you just don't want to surrender to these people.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And in surrender, I just realized that there's to me.
It's look, I will say this, I'm not sure what
part of Long Island are you in Nassar, Suffolk County.
Bruce Blakeman's doing a great job. Bruce Blakeman is doing
a great job. He really is. And maybe I'm being
too pessimistic. Maybe I don't know. I do hope for
(21:27):
the many friends, and I don't go up there very often,
but occasionally I'll go up there. But for my many
friends that are up there for whatever reason, that like
to come visit me in the wintertime when it's freezing
up there and it's very nice weather down here, I
hope for their sake that enough New Yorkers would wake
the hell up and realize that their government is oppressing
(21:50):
them and they're failing spectacularly. They're not keeping people safe
and secure. There's no law in order, quality of life
has deteriorated, eye taxes, burdens, some regulation, lousy schools. I mean,
they're not doing anything right at this point. That's not good.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Well, the people who stay have to think of the
people in the Alamo. Against all odds.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I hear you, listen. I admire listen. I admire your tenacity,
your courage, your commitment. It's infectious. And I'm pulling for you,
I really am. I'm not selfishly hoping that something bad
happens to New York so my free state of Florida
does better. I'm not helping that. I'm really not. Have
too many friends that I left behind, and for whatever reason,
one reason or another, their business is there, their kids
(22:37):
is still in school, whatever it happens to be. And
trust me, without exception, they all want to get the
hell out of there.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, but it's hard to just uproot and move. It's
just is just difficult.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I don't know. I've moved so many times in my life.
It's not a big deal to me, and I don't
mind traveling, so it's just not a big deal. But listen,
I appreciate the call, Norman. You hang in there. Let's
see what happens. I'll be praying for you all. Back
to our busy telephones. Let's say hi to Joe. Jony
is in Louisiana. Joni, Hey, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Sean?
Speaker 7 (23:09):
How are you and Linda doing?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I'm doing. I'm doing good. You got an accent just
like Linda, except that it's a little bit different.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Well that's I'm from New Orleans. I live in central
Louisiana now, and I do pick up accents real easy.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
But you know the people I like accents. I think
accents are charming. Maybe not Linda's, but everyone else's.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
I like Linda's accent.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Thank you, we thank you.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
I asked the question and cut it out.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Sean.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Before I ask the question, let me just give kudos
to John Solomon and Justine.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
He's great, isn't he.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I think they're the best news source out there, and
I appreciate y'all having him on the show like you do.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So he's a good friend. Has it been a great
partner with us, and I'm so happy for all his success.
I really worked so hard.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
I know he has. I listened yesterday to your show,
and I listened to Mike cow I think he's over
in the Oversight Committee, and he said that talking about
the auto pen investigation, he said that it would take
three fourths of Congress to vote to give immunity to
(24:19):
the witnesses that were pleading the fifth and I just
I don't understand, Sean. I'm a little disappointed with the Republicans.
I'd never vote Democrat. I'm conservative, a Christian woman, but
the Republicans just don't seem to get their act together
(24:39):
with stuff like this as quick as the Democrats do.
I listened to a previous show, I don't know if
it was him or someone else, and they said that
with the John Brenner and the Komi investigation, that they
could possibly get by the five year cutoff is document.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, that was John Solomon making that point because of
the grand conspiracy charge, and he's right legally, he's I think,
I really do think a special investigator would be warranted
in this case. John had recommended maybe somebody like Lee's Eldon.
(25:21):
I think that would probably be a good choice. He
happens to be a lawyer. I think that would. But
this is a grand conspiracy charge, and with the information
we laid out earlier in the program, and the fact
that there are these investigations finally going on, I spent
three years of my life with John Solomon, Greg Jarretts
Or Carter and Catherine Herridge, all these people unfiling the
(25:42):
layers of the onion to get to the bottom of this.
Devin Nunez and who else did we have? Mark Meadows
and Jim Jordan and Matt Gates and I can't name everybody,
but there weren't many of us. I once added up
all the people that were helping, and they were about
fifteen total, between those in Congress and those of us
that work in media.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
I don't understand. I mean, look at the Democrats with
January sixth, your guest yesterday, mikel said that for January sixth,
they not only got government text and emails, but personal
ones too. Why don't the Republicans do that?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Now?
Speaker 7 (26:17):
What takes the Republicans so long to get their act together?
And the reason I'm concerned is if someone doesn't go
to prison, we're just going to keep seeing this over
and over again. I mean, if evil isn't stopped, it
just continues if someone doesn't pay the price for it.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
And yeah, look, I don't want to get over my skis.
Am I encouraged by the investigation? I am do. I
believe that these Boyer requests have born a lot of
fruit because we're talking about very top secret information here
and the fact that the intelligence community had so perfectly
assessed that what was happening in terms of Russia quote
(27:01):
so called influence in twenty sixteen was never real, and
then that information got turned on its head by people
with a political agenda. Is what it appears to be
and if they can prove that, that means those are
people that should be held accountable. But trying to interfere
in an election cycle, Now, let's see where the evidence
brings us. But I certainly on the surface, I would
(27:25):
argue you have a prima facia case and some people
look pretty guilty to me going in. But let the
evidence lead us wherever it takes us. Okay, but listen,
we appreciate, we love your accent, We appreciate your call, Linda.
You want to give you New York good bye, John,
walk to you later. Thanks for calling it, Thank you,
Thanks thanksful calling in. We appreciate it. You appreciate it.
(27:49):
You have a good week. Cut, are you all right?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
You're gonna make it. You're gonna get through today.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Now, this was the joke yesterday. So Glinda's in my ears? Mmmmm,
you know, just total we have.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Just set it up better than that. It's basically disapproval.
This approval actually happens is he wants to override the
hosts editorial decision. And if she is displeased with the
host's choice, is this her reacty? You know, which is
you have a tendency to do a very annoying thing.
And if we're going to air our dirty laundry, let's
(28:24):
do it. I mean, I'll put out the whites, the colors,
you know, the sheets, down it all together. You have
this tendency to read a cut as opposed to playing
it in the you know, person's voice, and your thing
is it saves time.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Who cares?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
They don't want to hear that anyway, And I'm like, listen,
just play the cut. It shows what a moron they are.
And so you will back and forth and then you'll
say moron, how do you say it?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Plenty of cuts on the show, but I'm just my point.
That's when we get the When we had the Koala
on the program yesterday and the Koala uh to the
show was talking about uh the mum hms, you said, yes,
no sometimes I go mmmmmmm.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Sometimes I do, but sometimes I go mmmmm.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, you never do. And then when I went around
the horn and I talked to everybody on the team,
everybody agreed with me.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
So people who have the paycheck with the signature Sean
Hannity on it, agree with Sean Handy.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
That's weird. People sitting in the room, you know, getting
the death stare from you as they answered, you have
those people.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I don't know what happen where wait Sewan, your rent
payment or a death's there?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You know I'm easy to get worked for. You're you're
You're the You're the hammer. I didn't say tired. You're
the hammer. You're not the hammer and sickle like mom, Donnie,
Well fuck upside to that.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Well done.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Let's go to Eugene in Virginia. What's up, Eugene? How
are you hey?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Thanks for taking my call, great great show. Listen, I'm
calling from Virginia. I'm from California, and you're not gonna
hear too much with it, so an accent for me.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But I'm a.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Conservative African American world history teacher and something's been on
my heart for years. I wanted your opinion on I
wanted to ask you what do you think about an
official Judeo Christian heritage months at the national kind of holiday.
But we're looking at the month of April because it's
the month of the Passover in Eastern and be a
(30:23):
time for parades, concerts, re enactments, Jewish community centers opening
up for the you know, teaching horror dance, and we
can also kind of attack this thing of anti Semitism
in an indirect way. And I think it's just a
great idea.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Listen, I'm not against any of that, and I think
we should honor a lot of people. I read this
week the President Trump is going to have or build
out some type of monument area to honor American icons
and heroes. I think that's a great idea, But honoring,
you know, America, it's just be a was founded on
(31:01):
Judeo Christian principles, and I think we should celebrate America
every day. I mean, we all of us have a
tendency to do this. We get too busy, we're wrapped
up in our day to day lives, and we often
take for granted the fact that we live in the greatest,
best country God ever gave men, and I think to
(31:24):
reflect on that more often it probably be a wise
thing for all of us to do. I hope that's
enough support for you anyway, my friend, Thank you. You
need to protect yourself, your family, and maybe you don't
need the lethal option first. That's where the incredible technology
of Berner comes in. Now. Berner is a launcher and
(31:45):
it literally fires powerful deterrence like tear gas and pepper
spray and kinetic rounds. You can hit targets fifty sixty
feet away. You can incapacitate even the largest perpetrator for
thirty to forty minutes. This technology is so advanced and
so trusted. Now over five hundred government agencies and police
departments and private security firms they're all using it as well.
(32:06):
I think every one of you listening to this program
should have one. It's legal in all fifty states. You
don't need a background check, you don't need a permit.
They also have come out with their brand new compact Launcher.
It's the smallest to date, four inches long, two smartphones thick.
That means the cl is easy to conceal, carry on
your body. You won't attract attention. Ladies, you can put
(32:27):
it in your purse. Guys, you can put it in
a holster on your hip and then people probably won't
see it anyway. Fires at about four hundred feet per second,
forty one duels are force per square inch, and don't
forget all their pistols are hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
There's go to BYRNA dot com today. When you go there,
take a minute, look at their videos, see this technology
(32:49):
and action. It will impress you and then you're going
to want to get a burner for yourself, love ones
in your family and check out their retail store locator
as well and also including sportsman's warehouse stores, burner retail stores,
or they could just mail it to your home. That's
BYRNA dot com. Slash Hannity Today. Three hours a day
(33:16):
is all we ask on the Sean Hannity Show, So
please join us, but just don't be late.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Sean Hannity is.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today, all right,
you want to watch Hannity tonight. Think about this. A
year ago, Donald Trump came within a millimeter of losing
his life. The most dynamic, transformational, consequential six months of
any president in the last one hundred years, probably a
lot longer. We've got all that information. Also, the Obama
(33:51):
administration manufacturing intelligence to create the Russia Russia Russia phony hoax.
We've got new h declassified information. Pulsy Gabbard will weigh
in on that. Steven Miller will talk about the border.
We'll talk about the economy with Stephen Moore, Katie Pavlich,
Horace Cooper, and buckle up. You got three and a
(34:13):
half years left, but you probably will never see in
your lifetime of presidency like this again, or at the
six month mark. We'll cover it in Toto tonight on
Hannity nine Eastern on Fox Seat tonight back here on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
Going up next our final news round up and Information
Overload Hour News round up in Information Overload Hour. Here
is our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program, eight hundred and nine
to four one Sean if you want to join us, Linda,
did you see the big article in the New York
Post today? It's all over online and you got the
(00:23):
concert kiss at a Cold Plate concert And there's a
huge couple and they're holding and they're all affectionate, and
they're living in the moment and they're hearing the music
and they're feeling it. And then all of a sudden
they get put up on the big jumbo tron inside
the I guess it was that with the Patriots play
(00:44):
Fox Stadium, Gillette Stadium is what they call it. And anyway,
and apparently they didn't want the world to know they
were together. I'm not making any inference at all whatsoever.
Did you happen to see that?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I hadn't heard about it. It's so quiet about that
whole situation, all right, It's.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
All it's everywhere online. You have seen it, and you
saw the cover of the New York Post today, and
you know exactly what I'm talking about. It was interesting
too that apparently the wife of the guy yeah, went
on to social media and Facebook and apparently deleted her
married name. According to Tim, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm sure she had a clue because she did that
with a quickness that wasn't even like a pause. She
was like, all right and we're done. I don't know
why he took her to a Coldplay concert. There's so many,
you know, dark, dingy restaurants that you can cheat on
your spouse, and won don't you do that?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
You go to, know, a Coldplay concert for Maybe I'm
old fashioned, maybe you shouldn't be cheating in the first place,
just the thought.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Listen, you're an idealist and I love it. But I mean,
these people are obviously going to do it. I mean,
it's just unless they wanted to get caught. Maybe they did,
who knows.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
House Republicans now have given final approval to President Trump's
request to claw back about nine billion dollars from public
broadcasting and foreign aid early Friday, as Republicans now are
intensifying their efforts to target these radical leftist institutions. By
the way, why are we spending nine billion of your
(02:15):
hard earned tax dollars on this. Anyway, Here's a poor
Humpty dumpty. I didn't even know he still existed, he said,
fake new CNN again. Anyway, he's back, Humpty Dumpty. I
thought they couldn't put him back together again. Apparently they
did temporarily, probably with some glue which may not last long.
According to reports, CNN may not be around long anyway.
(02:38):
Here's him complaining about it.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
This is the end of a publicly funded media era.
This dates back to the days of black and white television,
you know, back in the sixties Congress solid value for
PBS and MPR.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
But no more, no more, that's right, And we have
plenty of propaganda left wing channel CBS, NBC, ABC, fake news,
although they may not existed in some time. And then
of course MSDNZ. Then you have the major newspapers New
York Times, Washington Post, and the list goes on and on. Anyway,
(03:12):
here to weigh in on this, and of course the
demise of Colbert, which we are very sad about, just kidding.
The betting odds are Jimmy Kimmel is next. These are
Hannity betting odds, not real ones. Carol Roth two times
New York Times best selling author You Will Own Nothing
and recovering investment banker. Our friend Mark Simone, host of
(03:32):
the number one New York Morning show, to talk about
this and so much more. Good to talk to you both,
Carol roth LOOPSI Daisy, I guess no more tax payer
dollars for MPR PBS. Why would we ever need it?
You hear about all these mergers and acquisitions that are
going on in media, all these cable networks that are
(03:55):
going under. You can't even give a lot of these
cable channels. They're not profitable. They're running fifteen year old
reruns of some dopey program that nobody really even watched
back in the day. So there's plenty of channels, there's
plenty of places. Why should taxpayers be paying for this?
And they have an agenda that's left wing?
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah, but techpairs should not be paying for it. And
you reference Humpty dumpty talking about nineteen sixties. It's not
the nineteen sixties anymore. Back in the nineteen sixties there
were a handful of channels and not much in the
way of programming, And now we have more programming than
we know what to do with. So certainly if there
is an audience for NPR, which it seems like there
(04:39):
is a robust audience, and certain shows that go on
to PBS, those can be funded just like every other
show in the free market, with advertising, with subscriptions. That's
what we do.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
When we have.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Things that people want, we don't need to use taxpayer
dollars to shove them down people's throats, particularly when they
end up being a propag under arm of the left wing.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Let's got your take, the great Mark Simon, sir well.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
The argument is that in the rural areas, that's where
they need NPR and PBS. First of all, I guarantee
you it's no rural farmers who want to listen to
some Trump bashing from some elitist New York broadcasters of
NPR PBS. O.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Whoa, did I just hear mister New York You and
Curtis Leewa, mister the vote the tomb, mister new York's
New Yorkers, of all New Yorkers, Did I just hear
you trashing that that one greatest city in the entire world,
New York City, that the home that you love, the
home that you're never going to.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Leave, were the first we got conservatives.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We got that's why, No, no, you really don't. You
don't have a lot of them. And the only way
Curtis and I hope Curtis wins is you're going to
have four Democrats splitting the vote equally. In that my
pave a path for him.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Curtis is going to win this time. Things have changed
here Mom, Donnie is thinking things are going to change. Hey,
the other PBS opportunities, they said, Sesame Street is so
important for kids. Sesame Street makes about a billion dollars
a year in merchandising, and all this it can more
to say for itself. It doesn't need any funding.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I mean, I think it's a good point. All right,
let's move to our friend. Stephen Coleberry made an announcement
about the Late Show last night. Here's what he said.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Before we start the show, I want to let you
know something that I found out just last night.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Next year will be our last season. The network will
be ending the Late Show in May. And wow, what's
your reaction, Karl Roth?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Well, you know, Sean, when you have a comedy and
variety show where you bring back recurring guests like Stacy
Abrams four times and Adam Shipp and you have musical
numbers that feature dancing vaccines. I for one, am shocked
that that is not playing well with the core demographic.
This is a show that pup News reports cost more
(07:09):
than one hundred million dollars to make and has been
losing tens of millions of dollars for a long time.
So there are people out there who are going to
try to paint it as a political maneuver. But the
reality is that nobody wants to hear somebody who is
a left wing goold at them for hours on something
(07:30):
that's supposed to be comedy and variety. And so you know,
it's surprising that they haven't made this cut earlier, but
I think it certainly doesn't bode well for some of
Colbert's counterparts on the other network either.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I've been saying for some time Mark Simone that all
of these not funny so called comedy shows that they
were all on official cancelation Watch. And the reason it
was so so transparent to me is because I get
an opportunity that few people get every day, and that's
to look at ratings, and the shows have deteriorated to
(08:10):
numbers that are so spectacularly low that it's impossible to
justify two hundred employees and losing one hundred million dollars
a year using Carrol's numbers. And the show's bad, and
you can't make it any worse. They're not even good
at political commentary.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Now Gutfeld gets much bigger ras. You got. The whole
thing is fourt cheers and a staff at twelve. He
gets much bigger numbers. You know, when they created Late
Night in the nineteen fifty three Steve Allen started. The
idea was comedians entertainers. You have some laughs, you relax
before you go to sleep. Who was to get angry
and watch Adam shift before they go to sleep and
(08:49):
you're gonna have nightmares all night?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It's definitely. But Carson was funny, Jade Leno was funny.
He wasn't really political. If he wanted to make another
Monoco Lewinsky joke, he would make it. These guys became
really hyper partisan. Now I could say in good humor,
like John Stewart, over the years has has has gone
(09:14):
after me, but I will tell you it makes me laugh.
There have been times that it had been rip roaring funny.
The same thing with Bill Maher. Bill Maher's torn me up,
but I laugh. At least they have some sense of
objectivity and they understand their mission is to make people laugh.
When did they lose any sense of mission? Mark?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Well, first of all, to be funny, you got to
be like a kind of an every man like Jay
Leno or Johnny Carson or you know, you realize you're
a normal guy. But Colbert is this weird, elitist, to
smug New York sort of a guy. You know, for
the first nobody remembers this. His first year twenty fifteen,
he tried doing a comedy show just being funny, and
(09:55):
he was in the last place and close to cancelation.
Donald Trump came along and that's when he went total
Trump derangement syndrome. Turned it into MSNBC with jokes and
took off. But it wasn't a formula for the real
long run. Now it's killing them.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I didn't I don't think it killed them.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
The big question I'll ask both of you, the same
question is who's next? I say, the odds are these
are Hannity odds eighty twenty. Kimmel is next? Carol?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, Well, first I've got to say, I think that
we're going to see Colbert do a podcast in a substack,
because that's a clear trajectory here. But I'm with you, Sean.
I think that if you look at the ratings and
also just the general talent level, I think that Kimmel
certainly is the next of mine.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Mark Simone ninety five five, it's Kimmel. You can't cancel
the Tonight Show. That is the original. That's the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I hate to tell you. They already cut it back
to four days a week. I think they cancel on
the Tonight Show.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
May be able to do it one day at a time.
But the good thing about Fallon he can recover, he
can switch back to mainstream Comedy's a brilliant impression. This
great sketch to me, and I think deep down it
he'd rather just do comedy and be funny. He could
switch to that. Kimmel can't do it too angry.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I actually, I actually of the three of them, he's
the least political. But none of them come near Gottfeld
in my view.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Oh I mean Gutfeld. It's brilliant, it's fun, it's it's
what it's supposed to be, you know, And people don't
realize the idea that I mean, for Colbert, I have
one hundred and thirty million dollar budget, two hundred dollars staff.
It's the guy who preaches about income inequality. He's getting
twenty million a year. Everybody else is getting a dollar
fifty on the show, and he's lecturing America. I mean,
(11:49):
he just wasted more money. He should have seen it coming.
The budget was more than literally more than most Major
League Baseball teams.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
All right, quick break, right back more with Karra raw
Mark Simon on the other side. Your calls coming up
as well. Right down our toll free number. It is
eight hundred and nine to four one sean if you
want to be a part of the program. Whatever is
on your mind this Friday as we continue. All right, so,
I'm sure all of you saw this viral video of
this couple at Coldplay and the jumbo tron pans to
(12:21):
them and then lo and behold they're ducking and dodging
and diving away, and even the frontman of Coldplay, Chris Martin, goes, well,
either they're having an affair or they're very camera shy.
I have no idea what was really going on, but
it certainly doesn't look good. And then the wife of
(12:42):
the guy on the jumbo tron apparently when on Facebook
and deleted or name. What's you take, Carol?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Yeah, first of all, Sonia, I come from the corporate
corporate America, and I never really knew what human resources did,
and now I think I haven't.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You had no idea of all. This is a whole
new definition of it.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, I didn't know that was their function. But first
of all, it's a It's a perfect example. You should
not be doing the crime if you can't act cool
about it, if they pan to you. Them panicking is
really what created the viral moment. If they had just
played it off, she had done a twirl, they had danced,
I don't think it would have gone viral. But once
the Internet got a hold of that, they were undefeated.
(13:25):
But I do have to say that, you know, the
downside of this is the you know, the people who
are innocent here, these spouses, the kids who may be involved,
who wanted no part of this. They're going through something
that's awful, and now you know their parents have become
an internet meme and their spouses have become an Internet meme.
And my heart really goes out because while we all
(13:47):
have a laugh at oh can you believe these people,
there are real people here who are getting hurt. And
I do feel very bad about that.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
First of all, this CEO, he doesn't seem like a
great strategist. You're supposed it when you're cheating, go to
out of the way restaurant or a hotel, not a
mainstream concert with twenty you.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Are you an expert on this topic. I'm trying to
understand where that came from.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
I've heard some things about it, but you don't go
to a concert where twenty thousand of your friends and
neighbors are going to be and if the camera comes on,
you smile and wave. If your wife says anything, always
like fifteen of us from the office went they just happened.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
To he had her arms wrapped around or their hands
were inner locked and like very close to the chest area.
All right, I have a question mark when you fill
in on this show, and now we get a great
response when you do. Does Linda go m as a
sign of disapproval of something either you say or refuse
(14:43):
to say?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Are you saying? Was ever a time where Linda held
her tongue where she didn't say what she was thinking.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
All right, Carol roth arkso bone, thank you both. We
appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (14:56):

You made that happen. And since Tunnel to Towers was

the Ernst family is one of many that people like

We all miss the schean.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I agree with you, speaker. And yesterday on a talk show,
but I think it was buck Sexton show, they said,
let New York fall, so teach the Democrats a lesson.
I don't think that's a good idea. Biden said the
same thing, just a small incursion into Ukraine. Look at
the mess it's in. You never get back quite near.
I think New York has to be treated like the Alamo,
(18:53):
and you have to fight what the people in the
Alamo for it to win this battle to keep New
York the way it is.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
New York is not the way it is. And you know,
I left officially out the door at the end of
twenty twenty two, and I'm just telling you it's not
the same. It is a change state. And I'm talking
about law and order, safety and security. I'm talking about
high taxes, I'm talking about burdensome regulation. I'm talking about
(19:24):
quality of life issues. I mean, things are deteriorating day
in and day out. And what's happened Norman Is companies,
every big Wall Street firm, private equity firm, banking institution,
other investment firms, they have all moved at least half
their operations to Florida. And when I say Wall Street South,
(19:47):
it is very, very real. And I know because I
have many friends that lived in New York and they're
much happier living in South Florida, where these companies are
now building their headquarters and off this communist Marxist get selected.
I'm telling you there's never going to be any saving
New York City. It's over.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, that's what I'm saying. And that's why we have
to fight to keep New York at least halfway or
the way it is today, and improve it, not make
it worse. Otherwise it seems couldn't have spread, just like
the war in Russia. These guys never quit. They're just
going to keep on going and going and try to
flip other cities.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Well do you think it was wrong of the people,
and you can speak your mind freely here, wrong of
people like me to just throw up my hands and
say there's no hope and give up and go to
a place where frankly I was welcomed. I was not
welcome in New York. I mean there were many instances
I'd walk into a public place, I don't care if
it's a grocery store or a restaurant or something, and
(20:46):
I'd look or you read the room, and you see
nothing but discussed on people's faces because they don't like
my politics. It got to a point I didn't feel
safe putting other people in a situation like that with me.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
But you just don't want to surrender to these people.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And in surrender, I just realized that there's to me.
It's look, I will say this, I'm not sure what
part of Long Island are you in Nassar, Suffolk County.
Bruce Blakeman's doing a great job. Bruce Blakeman is doing
a great job. He really is. And maybe I'm being
too pessimistic. Maybe I don't know. I do hope for
(21:27):
the many friends, and I don't go up there very often,
but occasionally I'll go up there. But for my many
friends that are up there for whatever reason, that like
to come visit me in the wintertime when it's freezing
up there and it's very nice weather down here, I
hope for their sake that enough New Yorkers would wake
the hell up and realize that their government is oppressing
(21:50):
them and they're failing spectacularly. They're not keeping people safe
and secure. There's no law in order, quality of life
has deteriorated, eye taxes, burdens, some regulation, lousy schools. I mean,
they're not doing anything right at this point. That's not good.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Well, the people who stay have to think of the
people in the Alamo. Against all odds.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I hear you, listen. I admire listen. I admire your tenacity,
your courage, your commitment. It's infectious. And I'm pulling for you,
I really am. I'm not selfishly hoping that something bad
happens to New York so my free state of Florida
does better. I'm not helping that. I'm really not. Have
too many friends that I left behind, and for whatever reason,
one reason or another, their business is there, their kids
(22:37):
is still in school, whatever it happens to be. And
trust me, without exception, they all want to get the
hell out of there.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, but it's hard to just uproot and move. It's
just is just difficult.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I don't know. I've moved so many times in my life.
It's not a big deal to me, and I don't
mind traveling, so it's just not a big deal. But listen,
I appreciate the call, Norman. You hang in there. Let's
see what happens. I'll be praying for you all. Back
to our busy telephones. Let's say hi to Joe. Jony
is in Louisiana. Joni, Hey, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Sean?
Speaker 7 (23:09):
How are you and Linda doing?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I'm doing. I'm doing good. You got an accent just
like Linda, except that it's a little bit different.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Well that's I'm from New Orleans. I live in central
Louisiana now, and I do pick up accents real easy.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
But you know the people I like accents. I think
accents are charming. Maybe not Linda's, but everyone else's.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
I like Linda's accent.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Thank you, we thank you.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
I asked the question and cut it out.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Sean.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Before I ask the question, let me just give kudos
to John Solomon and Justine.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
He's great, isn't he.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I think they're the best news source out there, and
I appreciate y'all having him on the show like you do.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So he's a good friend. Has it been a great
partner with us, and I'm so happy for all his success.
I really worked so hard.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
I know he has. I listened yesterday to your show,
and I listened to Mike cow I think he's over
in the Oversight Committee, and he said that talking about
the auto pen investigation, he said that it would take
three fourths of Congress to vote to give immunity to
(24:19):
the witnesses that were pleading the fifth and I just
I don't understand, Sean. I'm a little disappointed with the Republicans.
I'd never vote Democrat. I'm conservative, a Christian woman, but
the Republicans just don't seem to get their act together
(24:39):
with stuff like this as quick as the Democrats do.
I listened to a previous show, I don't know if
it was him or someone else, and they said that
with the John Brenner and the Komi investigation, that they
could possibly get by the five year cutoff is document.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, that was John Solomon making that point because of
the grand conspiracy charge, and he's right legally, he's I think,
I really do think a special investigator would be warranted
in this case. John had recommended maybe somebody like Lee's Eldon.
(25:21):
I think that would probably be a good choice. He
happens to be a lawyer. I think that would. But
this is a grand conspiracy charge, and with the information
we laid out earlier in the program, and the fact
that there are these investigations finally going on, I spent
three years of my life with John Solomon, Greg Jarretts
Or Carter and Catherine Herridge, all these people unfiling the
(25:42):
layers of the onion to get to the bottom of this.
Devin Nunez and who else did we have? Mark Meadows
and Jim Jordan and Matt Gates and I can't name everybody,
but there weren't many of us. I once added up
all the people that were helping, and they were about
fifteen total, between those in Congress and those of us
that work in media.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
I don't understand. I mean, look at the Democrats with
January sixth, your guest yesterday, mikel said that for January sixth,
they not only got government text and emails, but personal
ones too. Why don't the Republicans do that?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Now?
Speaker 7 (26:17):
What takes the Republicans so long to get their act together?
And the reason I'm concerned is if someone doesn't go
to prison, we're just going to keep seeing this over
and over again. I mean, if evil isn't stopped, it
just continues if someone doesn't pay the price for it.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
And yeah, look, I don't want to get over my skis.
Am I encouraged by the investigation? I am do. I
believe that these Boyer requests have born a lot of
fruit because we're talking about very top secret information here
and the fact that the intelligence community had so perfectly
assessed that what was happening in terms of Russia quote
(27:01):
so called influence in twenty sixteen was never real, and
then that information got turned on its head by people
with a political agenda. Is what it appears to be
and if they can prove that, that means those are
people that should be held accountable. But trying to interfere
in an election cycle, Now, let's see where the evidence
brings us. But I certainly on the surface, I would
(27:25):
argue you have a prima facia case and some people
look pretty guilty to me going in. But let the
evidence lead us wherever it takes us. Okay, but listen,
we appreciate, we love your accent, We appreciate your call, Linda.
You want to give you New York good bye, John,
walk to you later. Thanks for calling it, Thank you,
Thanks thanksful calling in. We appreciate it. You appreciate it.
(27:49):
You have a good week. Cut, are you all right?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
You're gonna make it. You're gonna get through today.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Now, this was the joke yesterday. So Glinda's in my ears? Mmmmm,
you know, just total we have.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Just set it up better than that. It's basically disapproval.
This approval actually happens is he wants to override the
hosts editorial decision. And if she is displeased with the
host's choice, is this her reacty? You know, which is
you have a tendency to do a very annoying thing.
And if we're going to air our dirty laundry, let's
(28:24):
do it. I mean, I'll put out the whites, the colors,
you know, the sheets, down it all together. You have
this tendency to read a cut as opposed to playing
it in the you know, person's voice, and your thing
is it saves time.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Who cares?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
They don't want to hear that anyway, And I'm like, listen,
just play the cut. It shows what a moron they are.
And so you will back and forth and then you'll
say moron, how do you say it?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Plenty of cuts on the show, but I'm just my point.
That's when we get the When we had the Koala
on the program yesterday and the Koala uh to the
show was talking about uh the mum hms, you said, yes,
no sometimes I go mmmmmmm.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Sometimes I do, but sometimes I go mmmmm.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, you never do. And then when I went around
the horn and I talked to everybody on the team,
everybody agreed with me.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
So people who have the paycheck with the signature Sean
Hannity on it, agree with Sean Handy.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
That's weird. People sitting in the room, you know, getting
the death stare from you as they answered, you have
those people.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I don't know what happen where wait Sewan, your rent
payment or a death's there?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You know I'm easy to get worked for. You're you're
You're the You're the hammer. I didn't say tired. You're
the hammer. You're not the hammer and sickle like mom, Donnie,
Well fuck upside to that.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Well done.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Let's go to Eugene in Virginia. What's up, Eugene? How
are you hey?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
Thanks for taking my call, great great show. Listen, I'm
calling from Virginia. I'm from California, and you're not gonna
hear too much with it, so an accent for me.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But I'm a.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Conservative African American world history teacher and something's been on
my heart for years. I wanted your opinion on I
wanted to ask you what do you think about an
official Judeo Christian heritage months at the national kind of holiday.
But we're looking at the month of April because it's
the month of the Passover in Eastern and be a
(30:23):
time for parades, concerts, re enactments, Jewish community centers opening
up for the you know, teaching horror dance, and we
can also kind of attack this thing of anti Semitism
in an indirect way. And I think it's just a
great idea.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Listen, I'm not against any of that, and I think
we should honor a lot of people. I read this
week the President Trump is going to have or build
out some type of monument area to honor American icons
and heroes. I think that's a great idea, But honoring,
you know, America, it's just be a was founded on
(31:01):
Judeo Christian principles, and I think we should celebrate America
every day. I mean, we all of us have a
tendency to do this. We get too busy, we're wrapped
up in our day to day lives, and we often
take for granted the fact that we live in the greatest,
best country God ever gave men, and I think to
(31:24):
reflect on that more often it probably be a wise
thing for all of us to do. I hope that's
enough support for you anyway, my friend, Thank you. You
need to protect yourself, your family, and maybe you don't
need the lethal option first. That's where the incredible technology
of Berner comes in. Now. Berner is a launcher and
(31:45):
it literally fires powerful deterrence like tear gas and pepper
spray and kinetic rounds. You can hit targets fifty sixty
feet away. You can incapacitate even the largest perpetrator for
thirty to forty minutes. This technology is so advanced and
so trusted. Now over five hundred government agencies and police
departments and private security firms they're all using it as well.
(32:06):
I think every one of you listening to this program
should have one. It's legal in all fifty states. You
don't need a background check, you don't need a permit.
They also have come out with their brand new compact Launcher.
It's the smallest to date, four inches long, two smartphones thick.
That means the cl is easy to conceal, carry on
your body. You won't attract attention. Ladies, you can put
(32:27):
it in your purse. Guys, you can put it in
a holster on your hip and then people probably won't
see it anyway. Fires at about four hundred feet per second,
forty one duels are force per square inch, and don't
forget all their pistols are hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
There's go to BYRNA dot com today. When you go there,
take a minute, look at their videos, see this technology
(32:49):
and action. It will impress you and then you're going
to want to get a burner for yourself, love ones
in your family and check out their retail store locator
as well and also including sportsman's warehouse stores, burner retail stores,
or they could just mail it to your home. That's
BYRNA dot com. Slash Hannity Today. Three hours a day
(33:16):
is all we ask on the Sean Hannity Show, So
please join us, but just don't be late.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Sean Hannity is.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today, all right,
you want to watch Hannity tonight. Think about this. A
year ago, Donald Trump came within a millimeter of losing
his life. The most dynamic, transformational, consequential six months of
any president in the last one hundred years, probably a
lot longer. We've got all that information. Also, the Obama
(33:51):
administration manufacturing intelligence to create the Russia Russia Russia phony hoax.
We've got new h declassified information. Pulsy Gabbard will weigh
in on that. Steven Miller will talk about the border.
We'll talk about the economy with Stephen Moore, Katie Pavlich,
Horace Cooper, and buckle up. You got three and a
(34:13):
half years left, but you probably will never see in
your lifetime of presidency like this again, or at the
six month mark. We'll cover it in Toto tonight on
Hannity nine Eastern on Fox Seat tonight back here on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
