Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, glad your with a Sean Hannity Show told free
it is eight hundred and nine for one, Sean. You
want to be a part of the program. By the way,
this just handed to me. Vice President Mike Pence has
joined our friends at the Heritage Foundation as a distinguished
Visiting Fellow, And well, it's great for both of both
of them in my view. And you know, and that

(00:21):
sort of gets to where I want to go on
the program today. I've always been a big fan of
the Heritage Foundation over the years. Good people. They were
really the intellectual firepower behind all things Reagan when he
came to office. And you know, I'm watching this week,
I'm watching you know Everything with Marjorie Taylor Green and

(00:42):
Liz Cheney. And next week it's The Shift Show two
point zero and I'm watching it all. I'm watching Joe
Biden rule through executive fiat by his own definition. I'll
play it for you. You know, he says that would
be dictatorial, that you'd need to get the votes. This
is a democracy, man, I gotta get the votes. I

(01:04):
gotta get the votes. That's why, you know. The one
thing and I have this strange notion we are a
democracy some of my Republican friends and some of my
Democratic friends even occasionally say, well, if you can't get
the votes by executive order, you're gonna do something things
that can't do by executive order unless you're a dictator.
We're a democracy and we need consensus. Come on, yeah,

(01:26):
come on, man, what are you? Are you on drugs
that you're indicting the drugs I forgot about, Joe, You're
a junkie. Come on, man, come on, we gotta first.
Come on, man, I think that Joe Budden cut of
the week was. And we're gonna we're gonna have four
hundred million vaccines, and we're gonna raise it to fifty
percent to six hundred million vaccines, and then fuzzy math

(01:50):
kicks in and we're gonna get by the summertime, we're
gonna have three hundred Americans vaccinated. Three hundred Expect these
additional two hundred million doses to be delivered this summer,
and some of it will come as early began to
come in early summer, but by the mid by the
midsummer that this vaccine will be there and the order,

(02:11):
and that increases the total vaccine order in the United
States by fifty from four hundred million order to six
hundred million, just enough vaccine to fully vaccinate three hundred
Americans by end of the summer the beginning of the fall.
But we want to make it look that's I want

(02:34):
to repeat, it'll be enough to fully vaccinate three hundred
Americans to beat this pandemic. Three. I mean, he said
it twice. Didn't just say it once, he said it
twice twice. Anyway, I don't even know what to make
of that. And anyway, so I'm watching all of this,

(02:55):
and I was thinking, all right, Mike Pennce joins the
Heritage Foundation. A Heritage Foundation provided a lot of the
intellectual firepower of reducing taxes burdensome regulation in the Reagan years.
You know, we had we literally doubled revenues to the
federal government by cutting taxes, ending burdensome regulation, twenty one

(03:16):
million new jobs, created the greatest peacetime of the longest
peacetime economic growth and history up to that point. And
then the Trump policies really on steroids in many ways
from what Reagan did, and that led to the exact
same results, and that is incredible economic recovery and higher
paying jobs. Record low unemployment, and couple that with again

(03:40):
the burdensome bureaucracy so manufacturers can manufacture again in America,
and also securing the border that helped less competition for jobs,
raises wages, and then you have record low unemployment for
every demographic in the country. These things work, and I
know that we're now right now, we're caught up in

(04:00):
this whirlwind about Marjorie Taylor Green and the show that's
going on today, and then we're gonna spend a week
at least depends if they bring in witnesses. There's a
part of me that says, oh, yeah, you want to
go down this road. I have a few ideas up
my sleeve. I don't want to telegraph them, and I
have my own witness list, idea of ideas because I'm

(04:22):
a little I'm a little sick and tired of the
double standard, like most of you are too, and you
should be. I mean, we're gonna have, well, this is
the president incited insurrection. We're gonna have a snap impeachment.
We're not gonna have any evidence presented, We're not gonna
have any defense given none whatsoever. We're not even gonna
gather the facts and now as the facts come out,

(04:43):
we're beginning to see, oh, we missed a lot of
the intelligence that was out there and available to us.
Even at Casio Cortez, I knew for a week that
this was coming. Well, who did she tell I want
to know, did she tell Nancy Pelosi? Did she tell
anybody in leadership that she tell the sergeant at arms?
And how come the police chief, the Capitol police, you know,

(05:07):
had requested long before anybody you know, with they knew
one hundreds of thousands of people were in town, marching
in the capital. Where why didn't they prepare you know? Well?
And then the idea that people had planned it, they're
identifying specific groups that had planned it. Well, then how
do you make the argument that it is the words
that incited the quote insurrection the medium mob and Democrats

(05:28):
favorite new word. And then how do you say, well,
how are we going to define insurrection and who are
we going to apply the standards too? As we've been
pointing out, well, the same thing would go with you know,
all of the people in the in the Democratic Party
that pushed the biggest conspiracy theory ever in this country,

(05:49):
and they made it mainstream with the help of their
friends in the medium mob, which is the Russia collusion hoax.
It was all a lie, and they pushed this and
ran this down this country's throat and drag this country
through hell for three long, solid years, just like the
Ukrainian impeachment hoax. How do you ignore quit and pro

(06:10):
and quote Joe and zero experience Hunter, I mean, the
hypocrisy is nauseating. Now. I see that people that use
insurrectionists like language, that make that spread conspiracy theories like
Adam Schiff and let's see. Then you got Maxie Waters
and the crazy stuff and threats that she's made over

(06:32):
the years. And you can add Congresswoman Omar to Leave
and Congresswoman Acacio Cortez to all of this list. Okay,
well they gonna they're gonna be removed from their committee assignments.
I don't see it happening. But the President said at
the speech on the sixth that you know that we
want you to fight like hell. They also said to

(06:52):
march peacefully and patriotically, to let your voices be heard.
So let's take it off. But there's one standard for Democrats,
and there's one standard for the rest of the world,
and that's how it works, and that's that's what's sad
about all of this. So we're going to go through this,
but back to my initial observation about the Heritage Foundation,
and that's why I really you know, when people have

(07:15):
views that I don't know why they express them. Now,
Marjorie Taylor Green went out there and she actually told
the House today that her statements on things that I
mentioned yesterday, I went into some detail, you know about
nine to eleven and the plane hitting the Pentagon, Yeah,

(07:37):
that happened. And school shootings, Yeah, they're real. And my
humble opinion, even though the kid that somebody said is seventeen,
it doesn't matter. He's still a kid to me, and
he's still watched, you know, kids in his school die
and families lost loved ones. They're real, as she said,
and nine to eleven happened, and she disavowed some of
these other things, and I'm just wondering, well, what about

(07:59):
all the people that have said all these other incendiary things.
How come we don't hold them to the same standard,
Because from what I can see is the people and
Adam Shift's district and Nancy Pelosi's district and the people
of Maxim Waters district, and the people and Congresswoman Talip's
district and Congresswoman Omar's district and Naoc's district. They they

(08:23):
get to decide that they're going to vote people with
extreme views back into Congress, and so should in the
case of Marjorie Taylor Green be the people of North Georgia.
She did get seventy four percent of the vote, pretty
impressive for any elected official in this day and age.
And that's the bottom line. And you know, she has
an opportunity to you know, she's knew. I don't even

(08:45):
know anybody that knows her, and I thought it was good.
She actually went on the floor and gave a pretty
fascinating speech. If you want to take we'll take some
time tonight, probably on Hannity, and show you some of this.
But it all comes down to meet as something even
more fundamental. So we're gonna deal with this today, We're
gonna deal with the next impeachment shift show next week,

(09:07):
and that they're going to get into that last last
last digs to hurt Donald Trump. And for me, conservatism
is pretty simple. I don't I don't want to make
this any more complicated than it is. And the reason
that Reagan was successful. If if there's in modern day,
if there's three movements, three moments for the conservative movement,

(09:31):
and I'm a conservative, I'm an America first conservative, the
first would be Reagan. And Reagan proved through his economic
policies and peace through strength, that not only can he
keep the world safer, but also he can he can
spur economic growth and an explosion of economic activity by

(09:53):
using limited government policies of low taxation and limiting the bureaucracy.
And Trump did the same thing, and Newt in the
Contract with America, they did the same thing. They actually
even balanced the budget for a couple of years, if
you can believe it, and we saw nothing but record
low unemployment for all these different demographics. So what is
conservatism for me? It's it's not complicated for me. And

(10:16):
that's why, you know, we get lost in the weeds
of what other what maybe some people want to talk about,
or what some people might say, or the rage or
the agenda of other people. It's not that complicated for
me because what matters to me is that if we
do these simple things, the fundamentals of conservatism, it's going

(10:37):
to be better for we, the people. I mean, it
breaks my heart to see careers ruined with the stroke
of a pen. These are high paying career jobs and
energy they're gone. People have lost them. Nobody's paying attention
to them in the media. You know, they're just casually,

(11:00):
nonchalantly cast aside as, oh, we want you to get
another high paying union job. Really, where as you open
up the borders and now we have more competition for
the few jobs that are available as we work our
way out of this pandemic with the draconian shutdowns that
accompanied it. But it's simple. I believe in limited government.

(11:22):
I believe in freedom of the individual under the presumption
that rights are God given, not government given. I believe
in low taxes. I believe that stimulates economic activity, ending
burdensome regulation. I believe in a strong support for our constitution,
including the Second Amendment. I believe we have law in

(11:45):
order and safety and security in our cities. I believe
that you got to have good schools for our kids.
It's not complicated secure borders, it's good foreign policy, national security,
and it's you know, we can't have so many people
coming here that nobody can get a high paying job.
Too many people in the job market that's not good.

(12:07):
And I believe in energy and dependence. I believe in
people that believe in our constitution, constitutionalists on the bench,
not judicial activists, free and fair trade. And I believe
in peace through strength. And I believe if we do
these simple things that pretty much covers the ability of
the American people. I believe in religious freedom, but that

(12:27):
goes with limited government. I believe in you know, don't.
I don't want to get into the rights of I
think states at some point begin to make their own decisions.
But if a government does those simple fundamental things, stick
to the fundamentals, then the lives of all of us
are going to be dramatically better. And that's why I

(12:50):
hate getting off into all of these distractions that some
other people want to bring in for pure political purposes,
because at the end of the day, it's about the
people that don't have radio or TV shows, that do
you know, work hard, play by the rules, pay their taxes,

(13:12):
obey the laws, raise their families, and just go out
and kill themselves every day twelve fourteen, sixteen hours. And
they want to build a better life for them and
their kids and their grandkids. And they want to find
whatever makes them happy, where they can make the most money,
and everybody provides some goods of services for other people.

(13:34):
That's just what life's about. That's it. It doesn't get
any more complicated than that. We do, those things will
all be better off. I love how the Russia collusion
conspiracy theory truthers out there now are saying that they
want Donald Trump to testify at their show trial. Why

(13:57):
would anybody offer any validity, legit jitimacy to what was
totally completely unconstitutional Jamie Raskin, by the way, the guy
that is leading this effort for the Democrats. Yeah, that
challenge Trump's win in twenty sixteen himself and in twenty seventeen,
he should be forced to detail his behavior under oath

(14:19):
in person. Sorry, but you haven't figured it out yet.
You don't even have jurisdiction in this case. You might
want to take note of the fact that the Chief
Justice of the US Supreme Court, mentioned in the Constitution
as the person to preside over such an impeachment, is
not partaking. That's why you've had to enlist somebody has

(14:40):
already come to a full conclusion. Pat Lay here, what
a kangaroo court that is anyway a political employee on there.
If you decline the invitation, we reserve any and all rights,
including the right to establish a trial. Your refusal to
testify supports a strong adverse inference regarding your actions. The
Senate can even be offering any legitimacy to this one

(15:03):
week snap impeachment before we found out that, in fact,
there had been plotting and scheming and planning behind the scenes,
as we now know from Acasio Cortez, we now know
from FBI, FBI investigators, we now know from court documents,
and we now have even fake news medium mob they're

(15:26):
reporting these things. Yeah, they're saying the same thing. It's
a show with a predetermined outcome. Why Because they'd love
to distract all of us in the longest period of
time so they can use executive fiat to get all
to bypass Congress completely and always why need a second
branch of government? Right twenty five to the top of

(15:47):
the hour, eight hundred and nine four one Sean, if
you want to be a part of the program, of course,
I'd notice everything, and I just wait, and I usually
don't talk about things until until we get our own
conference ormation on issues. And that's just the way the
show rolls. We go our independent way, and it certainly
has served us well on a lot of issues. Most recently,

(16:08):
our three year investigation totally vindicated that there was no
Trump Russia collusion, and the Ukrainian double standard and the
Biden family foreign syndicate. Yeah, that's all been born out
to be true too, just like oh, let's see Ferguson,
and just like Baltimore, and just like Uva, and just

(16:32):
like let's see a bunch of other places. Duke Lacrosse.
You know, we get we get to be right a
lot when the media is wrong. So I've seen the
There was a trending momentum. It started yesterday, and people
sending me stuff all day long. So I'm you know,
I'm looking at whatever's there. Sweet baby James is sending

(16:55):
me stuff every second of every day, and I'm just looking, looking, looking,
looking looking anyway. So one of the things that led
to a trend on Twitter hashtag Alexandria Cossio. Smullett was
appearing all over social media as details emerged that she

(17:15):
may have may have keywords here exaggerated the extent of
her trauma at the Capitol Ryan, given that she was.
What they're saying is what may not have been at
the site of the siege, but in an office building nearby. Now,
these some of these office buildings are connected. In other words,
the capitol buildings connected to other buildings. There's a whole
underground railroad there. Like for example, offices can be located

(17:40):
like hers is in the Cannon Building and apparently, according
to report, she may have been there when the rioters
stormed the building or stormed the Capitol. I think she
said she was in the bathroom there. That building is
part of the overall capital complex, but it's not within
the Capitol building itself, and we know that that's in

(18:02):
some cases, like far as ten minutes away from where
the congresswoman's office may be. So I don't know the
truth about the story is that, But if true, then
we have to ask, Okay, did they get to that
part of the building people that went into the Capitol
that day. But anyway, so I know somebody from Red State,

(18:25):
I don't know who it is, but somebody from Red
State actually launched a freedom of information or submitted an
Freedom of Information Act request to the Capitol holl Police
in order to obtain the security footage from outside the
offices where Congressman Aoc has her office and Congresswoman Katie

(18:46):
Porter has her office, And I won't you know, and
I guess they would would see. In other words, if
the footage shows people banging on doors and people running
up and down the halls, you know, they say they
would like to publish the photos in the videos and
in the meantime, give her the benefit of the doubt
offer to anybody, Well, that's something that we do that

(19:07):
many people don't do well. We offer people the benefit
of the doubt all the time, and but that just
doesn't seem to ever be the case with people on
the left. You know, it's it's it's rough. How do
you how do you were living in an environment where
we're bypassing an entire branch of government, we're using a
third branch of government for judicial activism as often as

(19:31):
you possibly can. And and and then Republicans where do
they find themselves constantly on defense? And Democrats you know,
it's they don't skip a beat, They don't sit there
and say, well, what about Congresswoman Omar or Maxie Waters,
what about the insurrectionist language of the left, what about

(19:54):
quid pro quote Joe, what about zero experience? Hunter? What
about the dirty Clinton dossier? They don't seem I mean,
these are these are weird times. It's orwelly, and it's
it's actually shocking that things can that things that up
can be down, and down could be up, and the

(20:14):
color red can be viewed as the color I don't know, purple.
It's just insane because there are certain things that that
should be applied equally to everybody. And you think fundamental
fairness at some point would kick in with somebody, but
it often does not. I noticed that the authoritarianism and
statism of the left is now in full swing. And

(20:38):
the two people in the Senate, and that would be
Mansion in Cinema, um that both of them there's a
lot of anger and a lot of lashing out and
a lot of targeting of politically by the radical extremist
Democratic Party. And I'd hardly called either one of them conservative.
And I know that Joe Mansion flirts with it, but

(21:00):
he never goes down that road. I was reading John
put Hearts in the New York Post today and he's saying, yeah,
that would be the place if he did become the
moderate voice in the Senate. It would be the most
powerful position, but I doubt he's going to do it.
And unfortunately that's just typical because usually what happens, Yeah,

(21:20):
you end up, you know, they end up buckling and
caving to the pressure from within their party. Anyway, there
there are founders of these progressive groups. The founders of
Progressive Pack Justice Democrats, which helped elect socialist Democrats like
Acacio Cortez, have launched a new Progressive Pack No Excuses,

(21:42):
and they're raising money for candidates to challenge both Mansion
and Cinema with primary challenges, to raise money for anybody
that might want to challenge them in a primary. Both
of them are not up in twenty twenty two. From
from memory, I think it's it's who is up. Somebody

(22:04):
is up in Mark whatever his name is out in Arizona,
he's up, and I Mansion just went through a reelection
not long ago, so he's not up. So I'm not
sure exactly what their plan is. But you know, what
was the purpose of Kamala Harris, Mark Kelly, Yeah, thank you.
What was the purpose of Kamala Harris Speaking to local

(22:25):
media in Arizona and West Virginia, anyway, So we're gonna
watch this AOC backlash and I guess if they Freedom
of Information Act that information becomes available. I don't like
to rush to judgment. I'm watching, I'm paying close attention.
It's not just because it's gotten so loud and started trending.
I figured i'd make you aware that it's going on,

(22:46):
because remember the claim was Senator Cruz almost had her murdered.
Senator Crews was calling for an election audit. That's it,
that's all. He was doing, same thing Democrats have done
in past elections. Oh, anyway, but it did trend on Twitter,
and so we're watching that closely. Now. The question here

(23:10):
is gonna be how quickly can Republicans get their agenda
items now focused on, Because if we start talking about
issues and start looking deeply at what the Democrats are
doing and implementing the Biden Bernie Sanders Manifesto and the

(23:33):
New Green Deal, there is a narrative that needs to
emerge that there are alternative views. And I believe that
the country is not a left wing country. There's not
a socialist country. I still believe we're center right country.
And if that's correct, and if socialism fails, as it

(23:55):
always does, and the false promises that every single thing
you're gonna need your life is going to be given
to you by a big bureaucracy in the federal government,
and every fear that you have in the natural stresses
of life that every human being faces in a country
that that prides itself in the concept of liberty and freedom,

(24:17):
then if you fall for those beliefs. So I don't
have to worry anymore because the government is going to
get take care of it all for me. And they're
gonna steal the money of those rich people, those terrible
rich people. If you confiscate all their money, they're gonna
they'll spend more on themselves than I promise than the
American people. You know, just as you watch politics, it's

(24:40):
just it's gotten in the gutter. Like I am really
looking forward to the super Bowl this week, Unt Linda,
you're gonna be watching the super Bowl as you make yourself. Yeah,
I'm gonna bet on the super Bowl? Who you betting on?
I think I'm gonna go with the Buccaneers. You're going
with the Buccaneers? Really, who's telling you? Who's telling you
who to go with? And there is it, Jason. No
one is tell me anything. I've actually been talking about

(25:02):
this a lot today and I have decided to up
my sports game. So I am now going to become
quasi informed. The rest of you need to now be
quiet in that room. Is that no one has said anything.
How do you get a touchdown? Touchdowns? Honest, you gotta
you gotta run the ball. Run the ball. You gotta

(25:23):
put it in the end zone. Put the ball in
the end zone, you get six points, six points. Then
you gotta kick a field goal, get another point. That
wouldn't be called a field goal. The field goals as
were three points, but that's okay. Whatever. You're kicking a ball.
You gotta kick it through those two things, which looks
really hard to be. We could just call them the uprights. Yeah, whatever.

(25:46):
The two poles, you put the two poles, you put
the ball between the two poles. Okay, it does sound terrible.
Do you know what color the poles are? They're silver?
No silver poles. Okay, I didn't know that look yellow
to me. But okay, you said you had to run
the ball into the end zone. Are you allowed to
pass the ball into the end zone? You can't throw

(26:08):
it to other people. Yes, you can throw the ball
to other people. I watched them do it ball backwards
to other people. How can you throw the ball backwards?
And you have to be looking at where you're going
to throw the ball, and you can throw it behind
the head, a lateral pass you can throw. You could
pitch it back. I mean, whatever way their body wants
to move, that's the way they can figure. You can flicker,
you can hand it this wherever anybody wants to go. Now,

(26:30):
if you catch the ball in the end zone, is
there any rules governing that? Or as long as you're
in you know how any rules governing I just started learning.
I think this is a little bit in depth for me.
It's a little too in depth for you. The most
important part for me is that there's a fair she
has like multiple master's degrees, and it's but they're not
in sports. So the point it's like I'm watching the

(26:54):
movie Clueless for five minutes. Let me tell you something. Okay,
I am not clueless. I'm a little bit I'm struggling
in sports. I'm trying. But my son loves football, so
he he loves watching it, and he asked me questions
and I'm like, oh, I don't know the answer to
these questions. I really need to figure it out. So
I'm learning always call Uncle Sean and I'll tell him, no,

(27:14):
I'm not calling you because you're gonna make fun of
me the whole time. He needs I'm going to do
that anyway. So I'm excited. I think that Brady, you know,
he's to me right now. He's the underdog. He's getting
trashed in the media, and he's such a good player,
and I think he's a good dad and I like
him as a person, so I want him to win.

(27:34):
Although I think Mahone's a great player, so you know
it's gonna be I think it's gonna be tight. Andy
Reid's from Philly, so you know, I gotta love him
a little bit there, and I just think he's a
lovable guy. And he always has his wife with him
on the field, which is very sweet. Yeah, okay, those
are things. So you're not going to be watching the
Lingerie Bowl of the Puppy Bowl. Oh my god, I
do love the Puppy Bowl. If I could bet on
the Puppy Bowl, I would, honestly, I'd be, like, you know,

(27:56):
I'd be I'd be rooting for the Mutton. But I'm looking.
I'm looking now I'm gonna. You know, online betting is
legal in my state, so I'm gonna make a wager
out to my state. Um, I remember already one pool,
but it's that's one out of my control. Um, and
i'd like to get I'd like the place. I don't
even know how to place them. But I don't think
it's legal for me to go to Jersey. I have

(28:17):
to go, but you have to actually make the bet
in New Jersey to be the bridge, make the bet
and then come back home. And then yet, if you
get paid, you have to go back to Jersey to
get the money or the wire. I don't think. So
you just have to place the bet over the bridge. Okay,
how stupid is that? It's the dumbest government can think

(28:38):
of that, you know, listen, but you have to think,
you know, how how big is the toll to go
over the bridge. So you're losing twenty bucks so you
have to count that and think about this. All the
years that government said, oh you can't know the numbers,
just you know, racket and all this betting, you know,
see illegal? What's the lottery the lottery's government bet what

(29:01):
is it? And they all, we're gonna give them money
to education. They squander every penny of it. It's ridiculous
and there as bad as the Blasio. Well, Cuomo is
now thinking about gambling. He's thinking about legally. Oh it
doesn't think about anything. Cuomo is a terrible human being. Okay,
But that they want money so bad that all the things.
And but if they do it, they're gonna make it
that they make the money from, you know, selling weed

(29:24):
in capacities, they'll make all the money in taxes on
their stuff. By the way, even with cigarettes, for example,
Oh we're doing this because we want to limit smoking.
Governments make more money from a pack of cigarettes than
than the tobacco companies. They that's why they talk soda too.
They did the same thing, same thing. They know what
people are addicted to. They're not interested in helping them,

(29:45):
They're interested in profiting off the drugs. Well, I mean,
I don't think it's scambling for example, I mean it's
gambling technically, But I'm just saying, like I'm just saying,
you know, like I'm not somebody who I'm not somebody
who bets all the time. But I'm very excited about
you know, how much are you planning on betting? I
don't know. I'm just starting right now. I'm looking. I'm

(30:06):
I like that you can bet, like on the color
of the gatorade. I think that's fun. I'm learning about
prop bets and what that means. Um, you know who's
going to score? How much in the in the quarters?
You know, in that first part of the game. And
you know how many many, how many? How how many
halves are there? There's four? No two halves, four quarters?

(30:27):
Very good, I'm very Now, how do you get a
goal in football? I just told you you have to
run it down the fields and put it in the
end zone. No, you don't get goals. You get a
touch whatever. You know, the points you get the points,
you know what I mean, the touchdown, touchdown. You know,
I don't think that the dancing and all that stuff
is very gracious though. That's a little rude. You know,

(30:48):
they get get those weird dances. That's not very sports
USA today, the stupid Communist day. Why has Tom Brady
gotten a free pass for supporting Trump? I just did
the NFL hell favor. Stop talking about politics exactly right,
because let me tell you what America wants Sunday a break,
Give me a break. Not only that I want to

(31:09):
cook bad food that I'm not supposed to eat and
I want to eat it. Not only do not want
to have friends over the CDC is literally saying virtual noisemakers,
and don't make any noise because shouting will spread COVID.
I'm like, you can't have a crowd, you can't have
a group, and they want you to. They want me
to pull out the New Year's zeve. You know horn,

(31:31):
you know what else you don't want to think about
during the sports, during the Super Bowl? Your taxes to
Sean Hannity Show, to free our numbers, eight hundred and
ninety four one, Sean, if you want to be a
part of the program. All right, So a lot happening
you got now the Democrats will get into this a
little more detailed. The bottom of the hour, Steve Moore
will tell us the danger of all of these economic

(31:53):
changes that are happening in the country. We've got the
latest shift showed and unconstitutional post presidency impeachment trial. It's
only a question of how long this thing is going
to go on. It's a predetermined outcome, and of course
the one. A couple of things really bothered me in
this whole process. It's sort of like, you know, I

(32:15):
don't agree with Marjorie Taylor Green's comments, but apparently the
people in North Georgia made that decision. Every year, I
guess every election year, Maxie Waters gets re elected and
we have her on tape. What I'm saying things that
I believe are insurrectionists, like language, and I don't see
any efforts to ever remove her from any committee or

(32:38):
Congresswoman Omar or Congresswoman talib or Congresswoman Nicasio Cortez or
Chuck Schumer for example, and his insurrectionist message on the
steps of the US Supreme Court, or Kamala Harris or
Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi, because we've been playing all
of them. You know, when you look at the impeachment articles, okay,

(33:01):
they talk about incitement to insurrection, and they refer often
the President said that day to go fight like hell.
I also said, many of you will patriotically and peacefully
march to the Capitol so your voices will be heard.
They failed to put that in their complaint or in
their incitement charge between that and the incendiary language of

(33:22):
the left. We don't have anything that resembles fundamental fairness,
equal application of standards on any of these issues. And
I don't care if it's Marjorie Taylor Green versus the
squad members, even anti Semitic statements and even calls to
violence and threatening language, etc. Etc. Because this a reek

(33:45):
of hypocrisy and a double standard. For example, you can't
say fight, Okay, let's listen to the Democrats talk about fighting.
What does Congress do about this weight? We keep fighting.
We're going to keep fighting and fighting and fighting for this.
That doesn't mean we don't fight. I think we have
to fight harder than every we know this is going
to be a hard fight. It's going to be a
competitive fight. We should dream big, fight hard, and take

(34:10):
back our country. This is a fight of our lots.
Stand up and fight for the best of who we are.
And I'm prepared to fight, and I know how to fight.
But I'm ready for that fight. Increasing numbers of people
are ready for that fight. Stand up and fight for democracy.
I will fight every day until he is in bags.
There's only two ways to win a fight. You can

(34:31):
win a fight through submission, or through exhaustion. We can't
just imagine a better future. We've got to fight for
We continue to fight for a progressive agenda in our future.
That's what we're fighting against when we fight Republicans and
Congress who don't want to pass legislation. Now, this is
time for every single one of us to get up
and fight for our country. This new freshman class in

(34:55):
Congress has got to come in and really set the
agenda and fight, fight, fight. You cannot be civil with
a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for,
what you care about it. But I like to debate this, gentleman,
and I said no. I said, if we're in high school,
I take you behind the gym and beat the hell
out of them. You take a punch, throw a punch,

(35:20):
you get out, and you get get a God and
you get back on them. And God. Everyone should take
note of that, on both levels, that this isn't They're
not going to let up, and they should not. I
want to tell you. I want to tell you, Gavnaugh,
you have relief the whirlwind, and you make me you

(35:47):
won't know you get up in the face of some
Congress people, does you any good running away from Donald Trump.
I think you need to go back and punch him
in a face. I know that everyone here will soon
be marching over to the Capitol Building to peacefully and
patriotically make your voices her. All right, joining us now,
former Speaker of the House, New King Rich writing the

(36:09):
bestseller Trump The American Future as well, and he has
his own podcast which we link to on Hannity dot com.
All right, so apparently everybody uses the word fight, fight, fight,
not just Donald Trump. And apparently if we're going to
define insurrection as marching peacefully and patriotically to let your
voices be heard, well, I would say all these democrats

(36:30):
we keep playing are a lot more a lot They
are far more guilty of insurrection than Donald Trump, of course,
And remember that this is a standard of behavior from
people who've read rules for radicals. Do what you're doing,
and then blame your opponent for the same thing. So

(36:50):
you have these people who have been lying, who have
been you know, starting with Madonna saying that she dreamed
of the White House burning down with the Trump. She dreams,
Get that right, She dreams an awful lot about blowing
up the White House, up the White House. I apologize,
thank you for correcting me. Just want to be specific. Yeah,

(37:11):
and that was the day after he was sworn out.
So it has been going on for four years. But
what we're faced with here is not justice. It's not
a legal structure. What we're faced with is a system
of political destruction that is deliberate, that is totally outside

(37:36):
the American system, totally against the rules of how we operate.
And the Democrats clearly don't care. They are making an
all out effort to take control of the country and
to get it done before twenty twenty two, and they
are going to apply the most radical behaviors that we've
ever seen. I mean, it's really I think in the

(37:59):
north of this problem, I think, well it's a huge problem.
But now this is where we find ourselves as a country.
So you know, you got Joe Biden in office. Hasn't
been very long, mister speaker. You know, what's all of
sixteen days and you see him now ruling by the
stroke of a pen executive fiat executive orders. Joe Biden himself,

(38:22):
let me play it for you. He actually said that
you can't do that, that we're a democracy. You need
to get the votes otherwise you'd be a dictator. Here's
what he said. I gotta get the votes. I gotta
get the votes. That's why, you know the one thing,
And I have this strange notion we are a democracy.
Some of my Republican friends and some of my Democratic

(38:44):
friends even occasionally say, well, if you can't get the
votes by executive order, you're going to do something things
that can't do by executive order unless you're a dictator.
We're a democracy. We need consensus. Well, he started out
in just day one with three times the amount of
exact kit of orders than the three previous presidents combined.
And yeah, I think nothing that Biden has said has

(39:09):
any meaning. I think you have to watch what he does,
not what he says. And I think that what he
does is every possible step to impose a genuine left
wing system that can't be challenged. I mean, their models California.
They want a one party country. They want that party
to be the Democrats. They know that if they don't

(39:31):
move very aggressively, that the next election will repudiate them.
And so you're having a all out effort, in my judgment,
to see that kind of pressure being brought to bear
and I find it frankly scary when when when they
start announcing that they're going to start reviewing the military,

(39:53):
and I assume that's the first step towards purging the military.
I find that really sobering about where they're going. And
so you have the same thing going on here that
these people are bullys and the announcement today that they
want Trump to come and testify. There's a clear provision
you can't make people testify against themselves. If the Trump

(40:15):
same thinks it's not to his advantage to show up,
he shouldn't show up. But they want, they want the
public spectacle of being able to take him apart, because
that's where they're starting from. I've been very clear lately
because there seems to be and I guess things. We
have these actions against these actions today against Marjorie Taylor Green. Okay,

(40:39):
she gave a speech on the House floor and im
and I'm watching it, and she did apologize for things
she has said in the past. Okay, some crazy stuff
that she has said, But that's really up to the
people of North Georgia. In my view, it's up to
the people and Maxie Waters Districts or a congresswoman Nicasio
Cortez's district or or Mars strict or you know, any

(41:01):
any of these controversial congressmen and women that are out there,
and that's the voters will ultimately make the decision on
these issues. Not I don't think it should be from
other representatives, especially considering they haven't really done this a
lot in the past. And I'm just I'm just watching
the reaction, and I see now we have such a

(41:22):
flagrant double standard in this society, and I wonder, and
I worry, and I'm concerned that on every issue there's
there's breathtaking hypocrisy. I mean it, basically, if you're a conservative,
you get arrested, you'll spend eight years in jail for
spitting on the sidewalk. But we saw what a deep
state has gotten away with. Now we see that the

(41:44):
incendiary language of the left is ignored by the left
and ignored by the media and by big tech on
all of these issues. Is one standard for conservatives, one
standard for liberals, thoughts, Well, that's you're right. What you
have is a propaganda media totally dedicated to turning America

(42:05):
into a left wing state. You have a Democratic party
now totally determined to destroy the Republicans if they can
possibly do it, and then you just go through item
after item like this, And I think it's very important
people to get out of their heads this idea of fairness.
There is no fairness. We are in the middle of
a delivered effort by left wing to tolitarians to take

(42:29):
over the country, to do whatever they have to do
to drive us out of power, to chase down every
one of our people and make it expensive to have
been for us, and US is not just Trump. I mean,
they are amazingly aggressive and frankly, they're also destroying things
that they're not They will look back and realize the

(42:50):
danger that they're going to be in because if you
think about it for a second, this year they happen
to have a majority, It's a very small majority, it's
five votes. What happens if it is very likely we
take control in the next election in the House. At
that point, I think they should the Republicans should require

(43:12):
every single Democrat to come in front of the Republicans
Steering Committee in order to get their committee assignments and
just say you started down this road, this is the
game you wanted to play, and now you're going to
pay the cost to that game. We never you know,
we talked, we'd never do it, though, is it to me?
You know, I go, I look at the three legs

(43:33):
and modern conservatism, and you're one of them. The Contract
with America Reagan's one of them. The Trump election and presidency,
which is consequential, is one of them. It's simple, mister Speaker.
Cut taxes, more liberty, more freedom, and the burdensome bureaucracy.
Conservative constitutionalists on the bench, secure borders, energy, independence, we support,

(43:58):
love our Constitution and our Second Amendment. Then free and
fair trade and piece through strength. And I think I've
pretty much covered most of what matters to me and
works for the country right. That makes sense, radically different
from the people on the left who want to acquire power,
take away your freedoms, dictate to you what you're allowed

(44:19):
to say, and basically reorganize the entire country around their
values and their power structure. Doug in North Carolina, what's up, Doug?
How are you glad you called? Sir? Doing well? Thank you?
I was wondering now that the Chief Justice has decided
he's not going to be involved in this trial in

(44:40):
the Senate and Patrick lay He's decided to step in
and be the chair of this. Most any commission or
trial that I've ever experienced, whoever's presiding over that wouldn't
necessarily have a vote in it. And I'm just wondering
how lay he can In the past couple of weeks,
record is accusing Trump of inciting an insurrection and then

(45:04):
preside over what is essentially going to be a trial
in the Senate. He's already determined, He's already determined the
Trump's guilty. How could he be the judge of anything
involving this case. It's just as insanity to me, right,
and they get to vote as a senator once he's
presided over over the trial. I mean, that doesn't make

(45:25):
any sense to me. And you know, I thankfully haven't
been in front of a lot of judges, but I wouldn't.
I wouldn't want to have the judge, jury and executioner.
I will be the same guy. Yeah. Look, and it
makes it more of a force every day. I mean,
some people say, well, they want to call Trump as
a witness, Okay, what they want is more theater. They
want a bigger show. And I think I don't think

(45:47):
the President's lawyers would want him to do that, and
nor do I think he'd ever go Why should he
validate what they're doing. The Senate shouldn't be validating what
they're doing. Nobody should be validating and legitimizing this. You know,
there was no witnesses, no evidence, no hearings, nothing. That's
a snap impeachment before we found out. Oh, a lot
of this was pre planned and it was not words

(46:08):
that incited these people after all, although you know some
might have gotten caught up in it. All right, anyway,
I appreciate your observation. You know what, you make too
much sense for Washington, Doug. That's probably you're probably smartly
living in North Carolina. All right, quick break, we'll come back.
Steve Moore weighs in on this massive spending for this
COVID relief package, the impact it will have, the use

(46:30):
of reconciliation and executive orders and bypassing one entire branch
of government. Next twenty five to the top of the hour,
eight hundred and nine four one sewn, you want to
be a part of the program, so in keeping with
the never ending executive orders, remember, I want to play
this again. Joe Biden defined the use of executive orders.

(46:54):
And what that really means is if we have three
branches of government, the executive branch, the legislative branch, and
of course the judicial branch of government and their coequal
branches of government, and you have a president the executive
branch through through legislative bypass, if you will, ignoring one
whole entire branch of government and just you know, through

(47:16):
the stroke of a pen and executive fiats. That is,
you know, you begin to argue when somebody's doing everything
possible that way, what is wrong with them? Then? Of course,
as a means of getting passed the usual process of
passing a budget, which would include bringing in Republicans to

(47:38):
get the budget passed, why why bother doing it that way?
This is how they passed This is how they did
Obamacare through the reconciliation process. You haven't talked about it
in a while. And this is what they're going to
now do with their one point nine trillion dollars to
pass their COVID relief package, which is also basically a

(47:59):
blue state bailout. Let me explain the blue state bailout.
The blue state bailout is for states like New York California, Illinois,
New Joysey, and other words, states that will never vote Republican,
that have been governed by liberal Democrats on the state
government side for decades, same with their mayors like a

(48:20):
New York City, etc. And the people in these states
elect big spending, big deficit accumulating officials, and they don't
balance their budget. They live well beyond their means. They
tax people into oblivion. And those states now that have
been fiscally responsible, electing fiscally responsible politicians and also funding

(48:43):
their pensions, balancing their budgets, they will now be forced
to pay for these bailouts. And here's Bernie Sanders saying, now,
why go through the normal process of passing a spending
bill when we can just ram it through with the
reconciliation process. Should Democrats move to pass Corona virus relief
with fifty one votes if they can't get Republicans support,

(49:04):
say before the impeachment trial, Well, I don't know what
the word compromise means. I know that working families are
living today in more economic desperation than since the Great Depression,
and if Republicans are willing to work with us to
address that crisis, welcome let's do it. But what we
cannot do is wait weeks and weeks and months and

(49:26):
months to go forward. We have got to act now.
That is what the American people want now. As you know, reconciliation,
which is a Senate rule, was used by the Republicans
under Trump to pass massive tax breaks for the rich
and large corporations. It was used as an attempt to
repeal the Affordable Care Act. And what we are saying

(49:48):
is you use it for that. That's fine. We're going
to use reconciliation that has fifty votes in the Senate
plus the Vice President to pass legislation desperately needed by
working families this country. Right now. You did it, We're
gonna do it. But we're going to do it to
protect ordinary people, not just the rich and the powerful.
And what's your timeline on that? As soon as we

(50:10):
possibly come. So what they're saying and what it means
is the way they went and passed it was actually
he got his facts wrong. This all started under Obama.
Remember Scott Brown, he was going to be the vote
against Obamacare. Big election. Republicans want it, and they'd bypassed
the normal process anyway to do whatever they wanted anyway

(50:30):
here to weigh in on this big question, is Steve Moore,
between the executive orders and now using reconciliation your thoughts. Well,
First of all, Sean, one of the most important things
people have to realize is that there is one trillion.
And by the way, we're telling about millions, billions of
trillions of dollars. I think people's eyes glaze over. You know,
when you and I first came to Washington, we talked

(50:51):
about the budget and the millions and billion. Now they're
talking about in the billions and trillions of dollars. But
there is if you know, Sean, there's one trillion, more
than one trillion dollars of money that hasn't already been
spent by the first time COVID release bills we want. So,
in other words, we appropriated for some four trillion dollars
in the last year on COVID, and one trillion of

(51:14):
it still hasn't been spent because these agencies can't spend
it as fast as Congress keeps appropriating more and more money.
And we just passed a bill, as you know, Sean,
in the final days of the Trump administration appropriating nine
hundred billion dollars, and now the Democrats want to spend
another one point nine trillions when they haven't even spent
one trillion of it. What I really want to ask you,

(51:35):
and I want you I want people to understand now
because you're right about the nine hundred a million that
is remaining that has yet to be distributed. And by
the way, how ridiculous is it that I got two
six hundred dollars checks? Did you get any of those checks? Well,
I didn't get a check to my wife and I
told I mailed it to my guy, said, whatever we do,
don't cash this stupid check. I don't want this six

(51:57):
hundred dollars. I don't think I don't deserve to get
six hundred dollars that should go to Americans that are
in need of six hundred dollars. And they're not even
apparently going to even means test this, or they weren't
up until yesterday. I think they finally finally considered it
for the first time. So here's my big question. This
is the big question I want you to answer. Okay,

(52:17):
we showed the conservatism works, cutting taxes and in the bureaucracy,
pursuing energy independence, securing our border, increasing wages for all
demographic groups in America. All of that worked under the
Donald Trump's policies. So now we're going now we're reversing
all of it. Take your time in your answer. How
does this end? You know? I was honored to serve

(52:41):
as an economic advisory to Donald Trump, and we put
together the tax cut and the deregulation and the pro
America energy policies, the kind of things you talked about
every day on your show. And the lapt to remember
what they sat back and in two thousand and sixteens
of a team they said it would never work. Remember
they said apart movement said it would cause a second

(53:01):
great depression if we if we did all these things,
Well we did it. We did the scientific experiment, and
we had the best economy in American history. We had
the lowest poverty rate in the history of the United States,
not just for all Americans, but for minorities. Think about that.
A smaller percentage of Americans were poor during Donald Trump's
first three years in office than any other time in
the history of the United States. We had the biggest

(53:22):
wage gains in twenty years. We had income gains for
the middle class median family income, the people that Bernie
Sanders was just talking about. Those the median family income
went up to six thousand dollars, and three years under
Donald Trump it only the numbers went up, only about
three thousand dollars. And eight years under Obama we had

(53:43):
the lowest unemployment rate ever, We had a booming stock market.
We I mean, I could go on and on and on.
The point is we had the best Trump was right.
We did have the about the best economy ever. And
now you're right. You know, we twisted the dials in
the right direction for growth and we got it. And
now what Biden is doing is we're just going to
repeal all of that. And I got to tell you so,

(54:04):
I'm not not going to have a happy ending. We
go back to massive spending, massive borrowing, massive tax increases,
the reduction in American energy. You know, I have a
great statistic for you, Sean. Do you know how much
oil United States imported from Saudi Arabia in the month
of January? I knew, zero zero. Isn't that amazing? It's

(54:25):
amazing in Europe. By way, forget America first, this is America. Last,
this is make Russia rich again. Make a Rand rich again,
China rich again, in Middle Eastern countries that hate US
rich again exactly. For example, that the tax cuts we did.
What we did was we cut tax rates on American
companies and we did it on apologetically. Why did we

(54:46):
do that because jobs come from businesses, and we wanted
American businesses to be the most competitive in the world.
And all of a sudden, we started sucking capital back
from all of these countries like China and Japan and
USA and Mexico. It all came back to the United States.
As Trump said, in the first time, we actually had factories,

(55:06):
you know, leaving Mexico come to Michigan rather than the opposite.
And I fear that we're going to make America a
very uncompetitive place. And you're right, the Chinese facades and
the Russians are going to greatly benefit from this. If
you look at the record low unemployment for every specific
demographic in this country, which happened, and we had record
after record after record sent a set by Donald Trump.

(55:29):
You add now amnesty to eleven plus million people, open
borders that's also happening, loss of high paying career jobs
in the energy sector. Then you add the economic burden
to business of regulation, which will push manufacturing again away
from America, like during the Biden Obama years, increasing the

(55:49):
federal minimum wage, increasing paid family medical leave, repealing right
to work laws, literally, you know, up posing the border wall. Education,
we're going to pay for education for illegal immigrants, less
money for American children, medicare for all. Add that to
it in this green new deal with a price tag

(56:11):
you know, up and around the ten trillion dollar range.
To me, is nothing but a formula for catastrophe. Would
you would think so? And I think it is a
recipe for catastrophe. To what Joe Biden has going for
him is exactly the opposite of what he's saying, which
is that Donald Trump has cheed up this economy. I mean,
once we get this vaccine out there, if we were

(56:34):
just to keep the taxes low, get get the regulations
out of the way, continue to produce American energy, I mean,
we'd see an explosion and growth in twenty twenty one.
And even if Biden screws everything up this year, because
you know, you saw the unemployment numbers came out this morning,
declining number of people getting unemployment benefits. Because the economy
is getting healthier, and none of them. This is my point, schrun.

(56:58):
We don't need one point nine he and hollers of
new debt, and middle five people and young people are
gonna have to pay the cost of this enormous debt.
You just let the economy work. It is healing itself.
Get the vaccine out there. By the way, I'm not
even sure we need a massive government program to do that. Well,
I don't think we do actually at all. It just

(57:19):
gets very very interesting all the way across the board,
all right, unrelated questions. So I have friends of mine
that are huge into bitcoin. People have been telling me
to buy bitcoin for years and years and years. Cryptocurrency.
This is what I know about bitcoin. It's cryptocurrency. Scaramuccia
think says, he thinks that's going on one hundred bucks.
It was in one paper today somewhere anyway, So I

(57:41):
think it's at thirty seven as of yesterday. I didn't
look at it today. And so bitcoin is an algorithm,
a mathematical equation, and it's a cryptocurrency, and there's only
a finite amount of it, and once they mind it all,
there'll be no more. So and more and more places
are accepting. We have government governments is accepting it. Now

(58:01):
we have more and more companies that are willing to
accept cryptocurrency. You don't have to pay the fees normally
associated with transactions. Okay, I get it. Why does the
price keep going up the way it is? And do
you believe in it? The reason the price is going up?
And by the way, there's many big I mean, there's
many cryptocurrencies. And what's going on here, Sean is pete

(58:23):
because these governments are out of control right now, the
European economies Biden's talking about massively increasing our debt, are
increasing our spending. Well, what does that do to the currency? Right?
It reduces the value of the currency. You and I
live through the big inflation of the nineteen seventies, when
the old joke was if you saw a dollar go
on the ground, you see if there's you pick it

(58:44):
up to see if there's anything of value underneath it.
Because the dollar, it's so crashed, and I think a
lot of Americans and investors around the world are worried
about what we call government currencies because they're cheapening in
them every day when they spend and spend and spend
and borrow. I like the idea of having a private
competition with government central bank currencies. I really do. Now

(59:07):
would I buy, you know, bitcoin right now, I'd be
a little skeptical because it's already gone up so much
and I'm not gonna you know, I'm not going to
give a recommendation one way or the other. But it
is a good thing because these I ask you personally,
as a as a private citizen, did you buy any No?
I don't own bitcoin. I'm worried about it. I think

(59:28):
the one thing people have to understand is as much
as we have debauched our currency, that it is still
the single best asset to own because it has something
that no private currency, Bitcoin or any other has, which
has has the full faith and credit the United States
government behind it. And you're taking a risk if you

(59:49):
buy a bitcoin, because there's nothing that stands behind it.
And that's that's my recommendation. Why you mentioned these other
other cryptocurrencies coming online, Why do you think they may
do well? Because we're moving into a digital digital age
right now, and for making transactions. You know, more and

(01:00:10):
more of what we do is with credit towards and
with digital transactions. The need for paper currency is declining
all of the time, and so the other thing people
like about cryptocurrencies is privacy. No privacy. I don't want
the government to know every transaction I make. And this
is a way of you know, being able to Yeah.

(01:00:31):
And I think in the past anybody that was using
it early was look was looked upon a suspect. But
I think it's more mainstream now, right. I agree with you.
You know, it's not you know, people say, oh, you know,
the government says, oh, we can't have cryptocurrencies because it's
drug dealers and so on. But no, there are very
many reasons why an honest business would want not to
have government officials no every transaction they're making. Yeah, all right,

(01:00:55):
Steve Moore, always love having you on the program. Thank
you for being with us as book. By the way,
Trumponomics inside the America first plan to revive our economy.
Right when we come back a news roundup, information overload hour,
we'll get to your calls, you know when they I've
meant to ask Steve about this now. Romney's proposing a
three hundred and fifty dollars monthly child allowance to replace

(01:01:16):
current assistance, and that would be for that. In other words,
for children younger than six, they would receive three hundred
and fifty bucks. Parents of kids ages six to seventeen
would receive two hundred and fifty dollars. Why are we
going to give kids that much money? All right, anyway,
we'll get to our news Roundup Information Overload. Greg Jarrett

(01:01:39):
and Don Brown breakdown the impeachment constitutional shampa next week
and more as we continue here for our final news
round up and Information Overload. All right, News Roundup and
Information Overload hour. Thanks for being with a Sean Hannity show.
Your calls coming up this hour eight hundred ninety four
one Sean, if you want to be a part of
the program now. So next week the shift show the

(01:02:03):
Predetermined Outcome post presidential Unconstitutional Impeachment cham begins and they
have been talking, well, maybe we'll just we'll have censor
you for considering. We already know forty five Republicans are
not going to go along with what they deem as unconstitutional,
and so you know, Chuck Schumer had the option of

(01:02:25):
I guess Susan Collins. Then Tim Kaine said, well, maybe
we'll just do a censure and move on the only
question that remains is though they're going to drag this
out with witness after witness after witness, and I'm finding
either way with it, to be honest, if that's what
they want to do, because every day they do this,
it is going to further alienate and anger the American people.

(01:02:46):
And see, they'll see this for what this is a
purely political maneuver by the Democrats that cannot let go
of their irrational rage, psychotic hatred towards all things Donald Trump.
So Schumer's out there. Trump deserves a conviction, no less, Okay,
And then you got Pelosi snapping at reporters they dare

(01:03:08):
to ask the impeachment question, considering she's the one that
allowed the snap impeachment without any evidence, without really really
any facts on the table, without any witnesses whatsoever, because
she wanted her last dig at Donald Trump. Anyway, let's
play them both. Question as though there were a lot
of conversation last week from Senator Cane and others seeing

(01:03:31):
writing on the war for the votes. Then maybe if
he's not convicted, do ancher when the president? Are you
open to that? As I think the president should be tried.
I hope he will vote to be convicted. Anything past
that is something we can discuss, but he deserves conviction.
As far as the impeachment a trial is concerned, Senator

(01:03:54):
Graham said that if the Democrats call any witness that
they'll be prepared. The Republicans prepared to call in the
FBI and quote tell us about people who have it
with the security footprint at the Capitol. What's your remember
threatened to safety of other members? Would be the first
ones to take them off a book committee. That's it.
Thank you. I can't answer that question whatsoever because I

(01:04:17):
have no idea what the right answer is. Anyway here
to weigh in on the legal aspect of this, we
got Greg Jarrett. He's the host of his new podcast,
The Brief to New York Times number one best sellers,
The Russia Hoax and Which Hunt Don Brown, former US
Navy jag officer and author of the book Travesty of Justice,
a best seller at its own right. Thank you both
for being with us. Greg. I know you've been following this.

(01:04:39):
It seems you know, once you determine it's unconstitutional, it's over.
Has to be over in the eyes of forty five
Republican senators. Correct, Oh, you're absolutely right, and you were
correct San to point out that the outcome of the
Senate trial was ordained the moment. Forty five Republicans last
week voted to dismiss the case against Trump. You can't

(01:05:00):
impeach under the Constitution a president who's no longer president.
So but what I find so contemptible about Nancy Pelosi
and or fellow Democrats and voting to impeach without holding
a single hearing is that they knew that if they
held a hearing it would be destructive to them. They

(01:05:22):
didn't want to present evidence because they have no credible
and incriminating evidence, so they rushed through the impeachment. And
now Pelosi demanding, oh, the Senate should do what I
didn't do and call witnesses. Fine, I say, let's call
Alexandria Kasia Cortez, who revealed on Tuesday this week that

(01:05:43):
she was warned of the violence a week in advance
of the riots. And hell yeah, I mean, how is
it possible for Trump who have incited violence as is
claimed in the article of impeachment, if that violence was
actually planning and before he delivered his speech and show

(01:06:03):
you know, they're just underscores that this is all about
vilifying and destroying Donald Trump. It's an abuse of power
by Pelosi and Schumer. And your take, Don bro Well,
I agree with Greg. They don't want to touch the
evidence with a ten foot pole, not only because you're
going to expose why Democrats knew, such as why AOC

(01:06:25):
knew and not only that, but you know Doug Jones
a lot smarter Laurie than I am. But if I'm
defending the case, I probably play a montage of all
those incendiary comments that Maxine Waters and Kamala Harris and
Chuck Schumer have made over the years about getting their
faces go out in the street. I play that and say,
what does it mean to incite? Because whatever the President

(01:06:45):
said when he said to go peacefully falls far beyond
that standard. But this is the second time in thirteen
months they've taken basically the US Senate. The Democrats haven't
turned it in sort of a Barnam and Billy's clown
show by ignoring the Constitution. Greg Jarrett had a great
OpEd I'm gonna plug a little bit yesterday on Fox
in which he caused the Democrats and new patron saints
of lost causes. But if you get an Article two,

(01:07:07):
section four that lays it out as to who can
be impeached the president, the vice president, and all civil
astars of the United States, not the former president, the
former vice president, the president, the vice president, and all
civil ASTs. If the Founders wanted to open up the
Constitution for a senate impeachment of private individuals, they could

(01:07:28):
have done so. But the Democrats are throwing the Constitution
in the trash. Can they give lip service to the constitution,
but at the end of the day, is the restrained
device against successive government power it gets in their way.
They're the ones that ought to be appeached from making
a mockery of the constitutional process. If you ask me,
I think there are three arguments that are going to
be made here now from Once you win the constitutional argument,

(01:07:50):
you really could just pack up and leave. But I
think both of you are touched on the two other
arguments that I think are impertinent to the case. Considering
I've read the you know, the entire case that the
Democrats are putting forward, and they're gonna try and make
it as incendiary as possible, and they'll probably slice and
dice and edit their words fighting the you know Republicans said,

(01:08:11):
Donald Trump said go fight like hell, and I put
a montage together on TV the other night, Greg Jarrett,
and all it was was Democrats saying, we've got to fight.
This is the fight of our lives. Don't stop fighting.
And then the third one is, well, if we're gonna
now define one being an insurrectionist by saying go fight,
that means all the Democrats can be included in that category.

(01:08:35):
And more importantly, you can't ignore, as Don was putting out,
many of you will now peacefully and patriotically march to
the Capitol so your voices will be heard. When you
put all of these elements together. And now the discovery
of the pre planning that went into all of this
and identified groups and court documents and FBI investigations and

(01:08:58):
even liberal media now have to report it was pre planned,
it kind of takes away that the words incited what
happened on the sex of January. You're absolutely right. And
the word fight, by the way, has multiple meanings. It's
a generic term. But I would do as you just suggest, Sean,
I'd play a bunch of clips. I mean, you can

(01:09:18):
go look at Trump's speech, you can look at the
comments of Democrats. Nowhere in Trump's speech did he advocate
or direct imminent harm. And that's what law, the law
of incitement, demands, you have to show specific intent to
cause violence. There's no evidence that Trump ever intended the

(01:09:39):
mob to launch an assault in the Capitol building, or
breach security or tax police, none of that. So Nancy
Pelosie and I agree with you again, Sean, I would
play clips of the things Nancy Pelosi has said. She's
accused Trump publicly of racism, fascism, treason's edition by very

(01:10:00):
causing math death. You know, is that incendiary? Absolutely, And
in fact, Trump's words pale in comparison to Pelosi's bombastic
rhetoric that you know, one could equally argue is incitement
under their standard. You know, it seems again there is
a legal definition of this. And Trump's own words, you know,

(01:10:23):
he's telling people that you're going to do the exact
opposite of what happened. I like the montage idea, I
like the Republicans playing offense, But when you pre plan
an event and you identify specific groups in the Washington
Post and fake news CNN and court documents citing the
FBI investigations that are ongoing, you know, conclude can identify

(01:10:47):
the very specific people involved where the breach took place,
the signs that were missed that all of this could
possibly happen. We had intelligence apparently leading up to this,
as referenced by AOC. And when you put all of this,
you know together, Don and I'm thinking, well, how did
they miss this whole thing? And will the Democrats hold
the same standards to themselves? And how do Republicans hold

(01:11:09):
them to these same standards while there's the colossal double
standards as you pointed out in concreasingly an accurate matter
over the years. They won't hold the standards to themselves.
They will they'll try to play an incendiary montage of
the worst that they can find. And then my guess
is that if if the President's team tries to, you know,

(01:11:30):
put on a montage of Maxine Waters and you know,
and and the Speaker herself and U and the Vice
President now of some of the incidior thing they said,
they're want to try to shut it down as not
being relevant. And the other thing they don't want to
touch is this shon I touched it, touch on this
last time they have me on they don't want to
touch on the underlying basis of the claim itself that
the president made false claims of election fraud. That they

(01:11:51):
do not want to go there because that's a nuclear
hot potata. So there are a number of dangerous, you know,
booby traps for the Democrats to step in. But hey,
they sort of speak first and ask questions later and
have been very, very reckless in their approach. And I
expect the scene to get pitched, but it'll be interesting
to see exactly what it is the lab in terms
of evidence to be placed on by the President's team. Yeah,

(01:12:14):
moving on to another topic, Hunter Biden is being investigated criminally.
As we know, Greg Jarrett, we know that Joe Joe
Biden had to I guess, publicly speak out against his
brother who was getting paid a consultantcy fee for some
law firm I think, down in Florida and using video
from the from inauguration day as a means of touting

(01:12:37):
this law firm. All right, Hunter Biden, I guess he
can't do any more deals with Ukrainian oligarchs and with
Russian oligarchs and with corrupt officials in Ukraine, and he
can't get another deal with the Bank of China, but
he's not wasted any more time himself to cash in
on his father's office. And apparently he's going to publish
a memoir Beautiful Things. It's called I Don't See Anywhere.

(01:13:02):
And my reading of any of this that as he
discusses I guess his struggles with substance abuse, which was
fairly obvious from the picture in the laptop where he
fell asleep with a crack pipe in his mouth. But
I've got to believe isn't that kind of a quick
way to cash in my dad's president buy my book. Yeah,
it's pretty consistent with Hunter Biden. He's been a grifter

(01:13:22):
all his life, and a pretty good one, judging by
the millions he's made, leveraging his father's power and making
promises to foreign clients that you know, he can exploit
his father's power for their benefit. I think these investigations
need to continue at full steam. It'll be interesting to

(01:13:45):
see the confirmation hearing of the Attorney General nominee Merik Garland,
because I am sure that people like Lindsey Graham on
the Judiciary Committee will solicit an absolute, solemn promise from
Garland that he will not shut down those investigations or
otherwise try to unduly influence them. These are investigations into crimes,

(01:14:11):
and from what I understand, it could be a great
many of them. Oh, thank you both, Greg Jared, Thank
you Don Brown. Thank you of your calls in here.
We'll take calls also for the final half hour of
the program. All right, the United Socialist Utopia of California. Melody, comrade,
welcome to the program. Thanks for being well. Us looks

(01:14:32):
more and more every day like your governor may not
make it, hopefully not. I'm sean. Why don't we have
two parties when only the Democrats seem to implement their
outland is agenda. For example, they ordered us to stand
down in Benghazi while our men died so that Obamaca
win reelection with no consequences. They ordered us to stand
down as we watch with our own eyes Biden still

(01:14:53):
an election and again with no consequences. What are the
Republicans doing? Shouldn't it be congresses Number one duty to
protect our from both foreign and domestic enemies. Right now
we're dealing with a domestic enemy. What are the Republicans doing? Well, Look,
don't diminish the four years the consequential presidency that was
Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pennce. He cannot dismiss it.

(01:15:15):
I mean conservatism melody. When you apply it, it works.
People didn't like the style of Donald Trump, some people
I had no problem with it, but he got the
job done. Philosophically sound conservatism, that's how we did it.
That's president I've seen in my lifetime. And look how
they treated him. They threw him out of office when

(01:15:37):
he won. That was like the biggest night for the Republicans.
We won that election, they threw him out of office
and they're still coming after him. Why are we allowing this?
We are a free America. What the heck are we doing?
This is crazy. We need to give them all pink
slips now except for few, and put in new guard
for our liberty. What are we doing? We could do

(01:15:59):
this lead to something faith. I've said this last night.
I'm a conservative. My agenda is simple, what I think
works for the country right. One thing they got to
add to that is, you know, if laws exist, statutory
language exists that observers get to observe vote counting, we've
got to enforce it. If a constitution of a state

(01:16:20):
says that you can't have mail in voting. They have
to they have to have a constitutional amendment laws that
say you can't have mail in voting in a state,
and they allow it anyway. You've got to get these
things straightened out so people will have faith, trust confidence
in elections moving forward. That's got to be a big
agenda item or else, you know, we'll never have confidence

(01:16:43):
in it again. As you're expressing, eight hundred nine four one,
Shan is our number will continue hight twenty five till
the top of the hour. Eight hundred and nine four one, Sean.
You want to be a part of this extravaganza. All right,
let's get a lot of calls in this half hour.
We'll go to colonies in Pennsylvania. First, feel sorry for
people in the energy field, be losing their jobs in Pennsylvania,

(01:17:06):
IH paying career jobs. Good people, great Americans, make our lives.
They're out. They've been saving us all money at the
pump and heating. How are you calling? What's going on?
I'm doing great, Sean, sext for taking my call. I
love the state. My question had to do with given
all the baggage, whether earned or unearned, or made up

(01:17:29):
by the media. However, happens to be that Trump's with him.
Do you think that ultimately he would be a help
or a hindrance to the Republican Party and Conservatism as
a whole to try to run or influence future elections.
I think he's a genuinely a big plus look a

(01:17:51):
lot of things. It's very interesting to me to watch
the media because for the most part, by being silenced
by big tech world and not being on Twitter and
social media, and the president now certainly he's growing accustomed
to his new new basically returning to his old life

(01:18:15):
and being um well, uncharacteristically quiet for a little while.
It's got everybody wondering what's he thinking, what's he doing,
what's he gonna say, When's he gonna say it? And
I find that part of it amusing, and I think
it's we have the attention spans collectively, they're very short.

(01:18:35):
Let me let me say it more charitably, we don't
have very long attention spans as a country. The news
cycles they go very quickly in this country. And I
know because this is what I do every day, and
big stories, ones that might have lasted a week, a
month or gone out even longer, you know, can be
over in a twenty four hour, forty eight hour, seventy

(01:18:55):
two hour cycle. And because we're getting hit with so
much information at once, and so I think that we're
going to go through the shift show. I'm not really
gonna be too worked up about next week because it's
a predetermined outcome and Democrats acting mad and feigning their
outrage and their anger and blame and and they're just

(01:19:16):
they're going to rage away. And the American people have
seen all of this now for five straight years. I
think there's going to be a collective sigh and rolling
of eyes and people have moved on. Now when Donald
Trump re emerges, um, I think in many ways the
agenda that he that he proved can be successful is

(01:19:40):
going to be in the forefront. You add to that,
probably we've got to make sure that laws are followed
and constitutions are followed in states and so on and
so forth. And we see Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and now
looking to make the appropriate change to instill more confidence
in our election systems, and other states need to follow.

(01:20:00):
So I think that's a key component. Or I worry
that if the Democrats get their wish with no voter
id ever of any kind, no signature verification of any kind,
all mail in ballots, that it would lend itself as
The New York Times told us to much higher rates
of fraud. I'm just quoting them. So I think he's
going to come back and we'll see what he has

(01:20:21):
to say. Would Donald Trump come back again? Well, he
wrote The Art of the Deal and cullen people forget
he wrote another book, The Art of the Comeback. Why
wouldn't he come back? Yeah? Yeah, I think I think
his policies are something that a lot of people, even
middle of the ground people, really agree with. They're incredibly popular.

(01:20:44):
I think sometimes just a mixture between media bias against him,
which has been absolutely absurd obviously, and let's face it,
his own mouth sometimes get him in so much trouble
that there's just so many people who hate him so much,
and so I'm just worried about him possibly being this
big easy target going forward. He's definitely a lightning rod.

(01:21:09):
But also people appreciate the fact, look, what he did
was take the conservative agenda and it got jacked up
on human growth hormone and steroids. In the sense that
he took it, and he went and he took the
fight to the swamp and the sewer, and he went

(01:21:30):
in as a disruptor, and he left as a disruptor.
He went in as an iconic class that he left
his one and the American people knew what they were
doing in twenty sixteen, and he ended up getting what
twelve million more votes in twenty twenty. That doesn't normally happen.
So I think that people like the fact that he

(01:21:52):
kept his promises. We've gone up and down that checklist
how many times? And he's also proven that the agenda works.
And the one major mass criticism is stylistically people are
some people are turned off by it. I'm not. I'm not,
and I think a lot of people were feigning being

(01:22:13):
outraged about it. But you know, two months from now,
telling you right right now, the mob and the media
they're missing him. They want to hear from him, they
want to be mad at him. It's like their drug
and they're going through withdrawals. Thank you, Colling. Let's say
hi to Wendy is an Idaho. Hey, Wendy, how are
you glad you call it mass immigration into Idaho? I

(01:22:35):
notice you're getting a lot of new people moving into
your state. Oh boy, howdy, including us? Oh congratulations, where'd
you go? Where'd you move from California? Mmm? How much
money are you saving just by moving there? Quite a bit,
as well as peace of mind? I get it no more.

(01:22:55):
You don't have to listen to traffic reports every two
minutes on every station. Go ahead and we get waived
debt with all five fingers, exactly what's going on today?
What's happening in your world? Well? I am so happy
to hear that you are strongly pushing what the how

(01:23:16):
hypocritical the Democrats are in spewing such hatred? And but
where where my anger and frustration lies, Sean is with
McCarthy and McConnell. Why aren't they pushing back and standing
up for their representatives. You're talking about Marjorie Telegreen, Well,

(01:23:37):
the Republicans, That Republicans. She got the support of McCarthy.
She gave a pretty passionate speech look on the on
the on the House floor today, explained who she is,
her background, and and disavowed some of the statements, studies,
conspiracy theories, whatever it's really you know, I just find

(01:23:59):
it pretty what frustrates me and what frustrates so many
of you, I think is the hypocrisy in it all.
Because you got Congresswoman Omar, congresswoman to leave, you know, AOC.
You got the whole litany of Democrats that have said,
you know, Maxine Waters, and nothing ever happens, and they're
not as outraged as they pretend. But Sean, that is

(01:24:24):
exactly my frustration. They have all came out, the Gang
of five Spartacus, all of them have such deeply offensive
state that yet the gyms are pushing to have the
Republican censored or taking off committees. Why aren't we doing
the same thing against them? Well, That's what I've been saying,

(01:24:47):
and I'm also saying there needs to be one standard,
one standard for the definition of insurrection, and one standard
for whether or not a congressman or a woman, you know,
meets the criteria to serve on a committee. And the
reality is the people in Maxie Waters, AOC's Talibo Mars,

(01:25:10):
they keep voting their congress women in this particular case,
and I would bet that the people of North Georgia
will based on the seventy four percent of the vote
she got, they're going to vote her back in but
in terms of leadership, listen, I want every I want
to reset. I want to focus on issues here. Anyway,
this to me is just what politicians do that has

(01:25:33):
no impact on our lives, none whatsoever. But anyway, good
call Wendy. All the best to you and your family
in New State. Let's go to uh let's see here.
Ron is in Kentucky. What's up? Ron? Glad you called? Hey?
How you doing, Sean? I was good, sir. That's just
concerning me. I'm looking at these teachers and stuff. But

(01:25:56):
we're you ps drivers and we're in the union. I
don't think people know the difference between a private union
and public union. But we don't stand behind these public unions.
I mean we are upset with our union reps. I
mean they vote Democrat and put our money towards the
Democratic Party. And we're truck drivers. None of us are

(01:26:17):
involved in any of that. We are conservatives. Yeah, listen,
I mean this was driving me crazy. One of the
first guys that I interviewed about losing his job for
the Keystone Excel pipeline, I said, well, where is your
union on this? And the union heads, not the rank
and file, but the union leadership supported Biden. I'm like, well,

(01:26:39):
they supported the guy that basically, with a stroke of
a pen ended your career. Ended it right there, because
it ain't coming back in the next four years. That
career is gone. And if my union leader, why am
I paying dues to a union that's not supporting candidates
that support our industry. It's pretty dumb, no, it is, yeah, right,

(01:27:04):
Ron Union, Shine, that's that's the same we've been out here.
We've been out in this stuff the whole time. Shine,
for the COVID we have not missed a beat because
we had to get medicine to people, food to people,
everything else. We see these teachers out of restaurants and
grocery stores and then they're shutting their kids down. It's
it's insane. We've dealt with it. Why can't they, I mean,

(01:27:26):
it just doesn't make any sense to me what they're
trying to do here. Well, it should have been a
top priority, you know, right underneath first responders and those
with the most serious health issues and underlying conditions. Teachers
should be getting themselves the vaccine younger people overall. There
are exceptions, but the vast mandatority of them have minimal

(01:27:50):
symptoms with COVID. You know, it's it's just this, this
virus is the strangest thing I've ever seen. Anyway, good call,
appreciate it. Jay and Maryland. What's Jay? How are you hi? Sean? Um? Yeah,
I'm going to preface um. Actually I want to make
a statement, and then if you have time, if I
could make a comment about your interview with Dave. Dave

(01:28:14):
shown the lead attorney for Trump. But first I want
to say, I want to preface this by saying, none
of this what I'm about to say will make any
sense or any difference if the elections aren't corrected. We
all know that, and be they need to be primaried,

(01:28:34):
the rhinos need to be primaried over the next two
years in twenty twenty twenty two. So what I'm going
to say is something occurred to me that I would
have loved Trump to have been elected last November. But
then I started thinking, maybe it's a good thing that
he wasn't. In this sense, he would not have the Senate,

(01:28:57):
he would not have the House, he would be subjected
to the same stuff he went through from twenty eighteen
one and probably the last four years in total. So
now he can come back, and the way the country
is situated right now with his backers, that if he

(01:29:18):
gets to twenty twenty four, there's a really good chance
he would have both the House and the Senate, in
which case he can finally get his America First agenda through.
It would have been virtually impossible if he had won
the November third election, which he should have. Look, elections

(01:29:39):
have consequences. You're right on. You know, we partisan observers.
We've got to be able to observe. You got to
have that. I mean mail and and ballot. You gotta
have voter ID, you gotta have a signature verification. You
gotta have very stringent controls as it relates to any
any type of mail and balloting. I don't think these
elections need to go on and perpetuity the way some

(01:30:01):
states are doing it either. We know that we can
do this right. Florida is a great case in point
with problems in two and twenty and twenty sixteen, but
those were resolved by twenty twenty. We can fix things.
We can send people to the moon and bring them
home if that's what we choose to do. You know,
whether it's a good thing. I see I just see

(01:30:21):
socialism for what it is, and I see it as
extraordinarily damaging, and I see that these policies ultimately will fail.
Steve Moore earlier today was dead on accurate that Joe
Biden was handed an opportunity here to really do a
lot of good for the country with a good economy,

(01:30:44):
and he was handed the vaccines. He's in a good
spot now. All his actions, unfortunately, are gonna take away
all the progress we've made in the last four years.
It's unfortunate. Mitigating as much as we can by having
men and women, you know, battling in the arena of
ideas and winning with conservative views is the antidote. Anyway,

(01:31:08):
appreciate the call. That's gonna wrap things up for today.
