Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, we have come in.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
To your city.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Way.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I get tars saying you a conscious cell.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Will be entire.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And if you want a little bang and I come along,
let me push back ages. This was not an MS
thirteen gang member, and you damn well know that. Oh
come on, But here's the reality. As far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
He's a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting
in the White House because last time I checked, he
didn't have any criminal convictions.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
But no one's removed just because of attack too. In
other words, the lan any attext means you can grab
somebody and you can deport them without an extended hearing
because you have labeled them a terrorist. AFRAIDO is back
in style.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Welcome to the revolution that.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We're coming to your going away, I gets talls and
saying you a conscious cell.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Hannity show more me, I'm the scenes.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Information on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
All right, news round up, Information overload, our told free
here's on number. It's eight hundred and nine point one. Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program,
one of the people I've gotten to know and I
love all my colleagues at Fox. I actually discussed this
in a recent podcast, and people always ask me about
my colleagues and what do you think of this person?
(01:34):
What do you think I'm like, I kind of like everybody.
And over the years, I've had my intramural battles with people,
but I'm kind of past that point in my career
and I actually like to celebrate other people's success. I
don't believe any success or failure I have is contingent
on other people's failure or success. It's not a zero
sum game. And one person that has emerged as a
(01:57):
huge star on the channel has been a good friend
from I'll never forget meeting her in the Bush White
House and she was the White House Press secretary for
George W. Bush. Dana Perino. She co hosts America's Newsroom
every day and she is on the hit show The Five.
He has a new book out, I Wish someone had
(02:17):
told Me The best advice for building a great career
and a meaningful life. It's on Amazon dot com. We're
featuring it on Hannity dot com. It's going to be
bookstores all around the country. You're gonna want to get
a hold of this book. But I'm proud to also
call her a friend. Dana. Great to have you. How
are you.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I'm so grateful to be on your show, And honestly,
my heart is bursting with gratitude because I truly can
trace all of this back to you, and I'm really
super grateful for it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Sean, Well, I don't really know you say that, but
I mean, honestly, you were a star from the moment
you were on the podium, and you have some really
funny stories about that part, and it's it's you know,
I remember remember when the Five, for example, was starting
and our old THEO friend who since passed on, Bob Beckel,
was there, and you know, I was a fan of
(03:08):
the show from day one, and he goes, well, why
do you like it? I said, it's a great show.
Well he goes, no, no, no, why do you really like it?
I'm like, because it's a great show. What else do
you want me to say? It just got the perfect
dynamic and it remains, you know, the top rated show
because of that. And did you ever think when you
were in the White House that this would all happen
(03:30):
to you?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I didn't know, And actually, one of the best things
about writing a book of mentoring advice now is to
be able to look back and think, you know, I
tried to plan my whole life away. I worried my
twenties away and when I wrote my first book, and
the good news is one of the reasons I chose
that title is that you realize that the plan that
(03:52):
you have is the thing that God laughs at, and
that the real plan is the one He has for you,
and that's what ended up happening. I would say that
the previous book I wrote mentoring Advice for was for
just for young women. This new one is more broad based,
and it includes great advice from all sorts of our
(04:13):
different walks of life, and our colleagues and people like
Mike Rowe, Dirk Spentley, people have come to know at Fox.
But I'm really impressed by Lawrence Jones's contribution because what
does he say? He said, I said, how did it
impact your career? Was there somebody who made a big
difference in your life? And he said, Sean Hannity, and
that you gave him three rules? And I swear there's
(04:36):
nobody in this building that I can go to who
doesn't have something positive to say about you and how
you lift others up. And I know you think I'm
a star at the podium, but I remember I was
a Rocky contributor at Fox. When I first started, I
was shy. I wasn't sure what you were.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Absolutely not Rocky. You're being rough on yourself. If you
want to see Rocky, go back and watch Hannity and
Combs back in nineteen ninety six and you'll see Rocky.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Hey, do you remember when I got the Daily Briefing show?
And I was nervous because I thought, well, I've just
been answering questions. I remember asked questions and you gave
me the advice about how to ask a question.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I don't remember what did I say? He got home
a call the question It.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Was office when you were role playing, and that he
finally said, Shawn, just ask the question, right.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
That's all true. You give advice, it's invaluable guidance, it's wisdom,
and it's only the wisdom you'll you will accumulate over
a period of a lifetime. Really, and you're passing it
on to people. And I think anybody older young can
learn from it. You know, you talk about all right,
getting your foot in the door, how to break out
in the job and get recognized. And I think that
(05:43):
always means going above and beyond and working really hard.
I mean, there's a hard part of our job that
nobody ever sees, and that's working behind the scenes. Tell
us some of the advice that you're giving in this.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Book for people, Well, one of the things I did
is I refreshed my advice for Dana's dos and don't
for a post COVID workforce. And also I realized that
the people I've been mentoring for my time since I
left the White House in two thousand and eight, they
are still coming to me for advice, and now they
are executives themselves, or managers or big time producers, and
(06:15):
they are becoming mothers and fathers, and I wanted to
add that advice. For example, I haven't raised children, but
I went to people and I asked them for advice
or ask them questions that I could include in the book.
And for example, Ainsley Earhart, who we know and love,
she has great advice for young parents about how to
manage a work life scenario that can be meaningful for
(06:38):
both you and your child. That you can do both
have a career and have that great family life that
you've always wanted. Martha McCallum, for example, she recommends that
young parents don't look more than three months ahead at
a time. I also ask questions like when do you
know it's the right time to leave a job? And
I asked Trey Goudi about that, because he left the
prosecutor of the prosecutor's role to be going the Congress,
(07:00):
and he left Congress and now he is here with
us at Fox News. So there's all these transitions that
our colleagues have made that are really important. I also
talk about how to deal with rejection and disappointment, because
that can cripple people. But if you want to succeed
along the way, you will make mistakes or you will
be disappointed, and how you bounce back from that is
really important and can determine your trajectory on the way forward.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I think I think all of that is sound advice,
and you really did get advice from a wide range
of people from our colleagues, Brett Baer and Ainsley and
Jimmy Fayla and harrold Ford Junior and Trey and Greg.
I don't know what was Greg's advice. Greg Gutfil had
to have great advice.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Greg's advice is great. Do you know how he's been
fired from so many jobs where he talks about how
that was not a problem. He also said look for
the calm person in a crisis. He thought that that
was important. He also said that the jobs that you
take that you think aren't going to be important end
up being the ones that you really care about. And
in addition that, he said, when I asked him a
(08:02):
question of what do you wish somebody had told you,
he said that drinking was no solution to your problems,
That it was a problem masking itself as a solution,
and once you remove it from your life, your life
becomes much bigger than the delusional relationship you had with substances.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That's pretty deep and profound. You know. I find a
lot of comics of and especially somebody as bright and
witty as he is or Jimmy fayala is, is that
they can be complicated people often And what makes what
I find with a lot of people in life, the
people that I find most interesting are the most complicated.
And I could even add Donald Trump to the list,
(08:39):
and a lot of people to this day, really don't
understand them. I've known him for thirty years, and I
kind of know his mindset. I know when he's in
a never ending state of negotiation whether people like that
or not or don't like that. And he likes to
throw people off, and he likes to divert attention, and
he's like a bull in a china shop. He has
(09:00):
an idea, he's going to see it through. When you
look at the very question that you're asking, which is
I wish someone had told me? What do you wish
somebody told you?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
I wish someone had told me not to worry away
my twenties, that everything was going to work out. I'm
an educated American woman who is loved by her family.
I have a wonderful husband of twenty eight years now.
And looking back, when I think about all that time
I wasted worrying, was time that I could have been
investing in myself or enjoying life and having fun. If
you are educated here in America and you have this
(09:34):
opportunity to be here, there's nothing you can't do.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
There's so many Is it a kind of natural though,
for all of us to worry? I mean, it's sort
of a natural thing, that it's sort of a temptation
you have to resist it is, and.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
In fact, if you think about it. There was a
woman I write about in the book. She was in
my singles group at church when I was twenty four
twenty five and I was coming up to my twenty
fifth birthday and nothing was turning out the way I
thought it was going to and met anybody. My career
was kind of okay, and I didn't think it was
going great. And she said, remember what God says, fear not,
(10:08):
You are written in the palm of his hand. I've
never forgotten her reminder, even though I'd been hearing that
since I was a kid. But there are just times
in your life when a friend or a loved one
will just remind you of what you needed to hear.
And I think that there's a reason that over and
over again in a Bible it says that you don't
need to be afraid, Let not.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Your heartbeat troubled. Fear not. You know all of that
is true. The very hairs of your head are counted.
I mean, when you think deeply about that, that's pretty profound.
Or the comforting you know, it's very comforting and honestly,
I attribute two things to any success I may or
may not have had, And one would be my faith,
(10:47):
my belief in God. And number two would be that
I work really, really hard and I don't lift my
head up. And I just since the beginning of my
broadcast career, I always thought I was doing my last show.
I could still kind of feel that way. Yeah, I
still have not gotten over it, Ilby.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I wake up every day thinking it could all go
away in an instant. But there's another thing that you
do which I write about, and I think it's an
undervalued leadership skill, and that is the power of listening.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
All right, quick break, we'll come back more with my
friend colleague Dana Perino, co host America's Newsroom and the
hit show of the Five. Her new book is out.
I Wish someone had told me the best advice for
building a great career and a meaningful life. Amazon dot com,
Hannity dot com, bookstores around the country. All right, we
continue now with my friend, my colleague from Fox Data.
(11:36):
Perino's with us. Of course, she co hosts America's Newsroom
and is on the hit sho of the Five, and
she has her new book out. I wish someone had
told me the best advice for building a great career
and a meaningful life. Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com,
bookstores all across the country. What a lot of people
don't know is the business that we're in his heart.
It really is. And there are a lot of people
(11:57):
gunning for your job, your career, or maybe they don't
like your political opinions, and we give a lot of
opinions right, And I just I have learned to tune
out that noise. I honestly don't hear it. I don't
even have access to social media anymore. I haven't had
it for years. Your phone, it's not on my phone,
(12:18):
and I don't know. I don't even have the password.
I have a team that runs it for me. Yep,
I find if you want to feel bad about yourself,
go read about what people say about you. Well, let
me ask you this, how do you view the current
political situation?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Fascinating? I wake up every day like what's going to
happen next? And I love it. I remember in seventeen
there was a Saturday where I took a nap for
twenty minutes and three stories broke and it was a
pace that would just seemed impossible to keep up with.
And then we had the sleepy Joe Biden years and
it was like so boring and also so upsetting. Right,
(12:55):
you know, you would have Karin Jean Pierre, the Press Secretary,
saying the border is secure and the split screen is
Bill mallusion at the border with everybody streaming across with
no due process at all, and so that was profoundly upsetting,
not to mention the cover up at the end when
she used to say that Joe Biden was running circles
behind them at the White House. It wasn't true, and
(13:15):
I was upset about it then, But I feel like
even more now that the Democrats have generational damage because
of the decision of Joe and Joe Biden for him
to seek another term, and they're going to have to
pay the price for that. The Republicans have gone through
a political realignment. It's fascinating to watch. But the Democrats
are just beginning theirs, and I think that theirs could
(13:36):
even ultimately be more painful because of the decisions that
they made that have basically lost them their foundation. And
the Republicans continue to gain with younger people, and there's
a good reason for that. I think the common sense
piece of what Donald Trump is talking about is a
powerful word. It is persuasive, and it could be longstanding.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I think there is a political realignment going on. I
think the Democratic Party has lost touch with workingmen. And
when I think they've become the party of coastal elites,
when I see, you know, in the US Senate a
couple of weeks ago, that they're championing the right of
men to play women's sports, or you know, look at
this this recent issue with von Holland and his trip.
(14:17):
You know, he never once called the family of Rachel Moore,
and he never once called the family of Kayla Hamilton.
Both women were raped and brutally murdered by illegal immigrants
from Al Salvador. And if they want to be the
party that claims it's a constitutional crisis, when you find
one hundred and fifty billion wasted dollars, you know, waste,
(14:38):
fraud and abuse, I think they are way off track.
And I think that if Donald Trump can get this
economy on track, I think Americans there there might be
a generational shift in terms of what party people vote for.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
What do you think I absolutely think that's right. I
think you've already seen that. And there's also the president
having had built up a lot of I would say capital,
goodwill and his account that he has some time for
people to give him the patience that is needed at
a moment like this. If there is going to be
this transition on the border, I would say that you
know when it's solved that quickly in three months. You
(15:15):
do the split screen now and you look at Egle
past Texas and it's a beautiful natural landscape. There's no people.
But it's hard to keep covering that story. So I
think one communications challenge they have is reminding people that
how bad it was for a year. For the last
four years, what we are dealing with in the cities,
and not just the cities, but many cities being inundated
(15:37):
with illegal immigrants, and now how do we get them out?
And in the meantime, they're trying to deal with the
high prices. So I feel like there's enough time for
them to try to get things in place, to get
things done. It's not an exhaustible amount of time, and
I think that they know that and that's why they're
moving pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Anyway. Dana Perino, co host, America's news room. My friend
and colleague of Fox, also on the hit show The Five,
and her new book is I Wish someone had told
me the best advice for building a great career and
a meaningful life. We have a featured on Hannity dot com,
Amazon dot com, bookstores now across the country, and Data
We I really appreciate you, appreciate your friendship, appreciate your wisdom,
(16:16):
and thank you for coming on and sharing this with us.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Well, thank you for giving me this opportunity, not just
to be on your show, but for everything.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You're the best data Farino. Eight hundred nine four one, Sewan.
If you want to be a part of the program,
we'll come back. We'll get to your calls straight ahead,
making news straight from the source. This is the Sean
Hannity Show. I'm twenty five now to the top of
the hour. Eight hundred nine to four one, Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program, listen,
God forbid you your family. Find yourself in a situation
(16:45):
you feel threatened, Well, first thing you want to try
and get out of that situation without any confrontation. If
that's not possible, I have a personal safety security plan
and it has option two, which is the less lethal option.
And that's where Berner comes in. And this technology is
so effective you can incapacitate any perpetrator for thirty to
(17:06):
forty minutes. And I'll tell you about an avid hiker's
name is Jason. He had his Burner on an evening
hikes with his family. They had a close, harrowing encounter
with a mountain lion and armed with his Berner kineticamo,
Jason was able to deter the animal, protect his family.
That could have been a deadly situation. There's all sorts
of situations that you'll never you know, probably imagine until
(17:28):
it actually happens. The beauty of Berner. It's legal in
all fifty states. You don't need a permit, you don't
need a background check. It is incredible. It has powerful deterrence.
If you want to see how effective it is this
technology and find out why hundreds of law enforcement and
private security firms have now adopted Berner as their non
lethal option. Just see how the technology is advanced to
(17:51):
such a degree that it really works anyway. Just go
to Berner BYRNA dot com slash Hannity that's BYRNA dot com.
Slash Hannity and you'll get ten percent off any purchase.
Check out the videos that are online as well while
you're there. Why is it that the left never seems
to care when they're radicals. You know, they defend the
(18:13):
radicals rights on college campuses to go after, you know,
Jewish students, are you a Zionist? And then these campuses
then tell Jewish students you might want to just work
learn remote for the rest of the semester. And that's
basically at no consequences for the people involved. You know,
how did this become a party where you have outspoken
(18:34):
Democrats sort of worshiping at the altar of Luigi Mangioni.
How did this become the party whose silence is deafening
over the domestic terrorism involving Tesla or the calls for
assassination against Donald Trump, Elon Musk and now others. There
were protesters chanting outside of JD. Vance's house over the weekend. Listen,
(19:11):
if the left thinks this is going to be effective,
that they're going to be persuasive in changing the hearts
and minds of Americans by sounding like a bunch of
idiots like this, good luck with that too. Just like,
good luck championing you know, the rights of a guy
that's been designated a MS thirteen gang member. Tim Wall's
(19:33):
daughter caused the social media storm by saying that if
Jesus were alive today, that the Trump administration would have
claimed he was a member of MS thirteen and deported him.
Like this is how crazy they're getting. Nancy Mace was.
It looked like she was in and she's on Hannity tonight.
Looked like she was in a drug store, and this
guy just kept, you know, following her and harassing her.
(19:56):
And some people didn't like the language she used, but
at some point, there's only so much harassment you're gonna
take from anybody. Listen, every year, I have over a
dozen every year. That was my entire question.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Yeah, you could have you could have come to any
of them.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Last year, I had over a dozen. Where were you
the year before that or the year before that?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Because you know what, because you people on the left
are crazy. You're absolutely crazy. You are, and get out
of my get out of my face, goodbye, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I'm not I won by so much.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
That's where you are here, discrace.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I asked you a simple question, and you just go
on to ty rate and tell me.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, thank you, Get out of my face. Get out
of my face.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Try it again.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
What's your name?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
What's your name? What's your name?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Assuredly, get the out.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Of my face now, thank you.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
You couldn't take me on, baby, Say the fuck away.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
From me, Linda. Could you ever go into a store
running into somebody that's prominent that we vehemently disagree with
and ever saying anything to them? Well, why why would
you do that to a woman alone?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
She is such a ball breaker. She don't take it, man,
I'll tell you what assaulted language.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
No.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
I like her because she stands up for herself, and
it is people like that are not exactly yeah, but
typically you have Typically the left acts like that and
then Republicans just stand there politely and they say, let
them have their say.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's free speech. No, it's not free speech, that's harassment.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Okay, she's out, she's not working at that moment.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I mean, well, you're always serving, and you're an elected official,
you're always serving.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Okay. I'm an elected talk show host. People choose to listen,
so in a sense, right, But I've had people come
up to me. And finally, I'll just look at them
and say, either back off or I'll bring in security.
I'll call the police, and if you come any closer,
I'm going to hurt you. Please don't make me hurt you.
I don't want to hurt you. And I mean it.
(22:08):
And when I say that, why does that grab their
attention so much?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Listen? They love violence. There's nothing they would like more
than for.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Somebody to handle. There's something about those words, which, by
the way, are meaningful. I'm like, I don't want to please,
you know, And I'll step back as I'm saying it
with my hands up in a very peaceful way. And
I get very calm whenever I talk to lunatics. I
don't know, it's like a gift I have. I get
very coin I think.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I think someone like her. She's a congresswoman, she's pretty, she.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Doesn't deserve this crap. He doesn't you know? This is
vir They can just do.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Whatever they want to her. And she's like, Nope, I'm
not having it.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Piss off. I love it all right, Let's get to
our phones. Eight hundred and nine to four one, Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program,
are Daphne, Texas Next Sean Hannity Show. What's up, Daphne?
How are you hi?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Sean? It's an honor to talk to you. You're in
my living room every night.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Thank you, ma'am. Better with makeup? On what's going on?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I have an idea about all this federal money that's
going to these antisemitic Ivy League schools. I think it
should be clawed back, reallocated and start a vocational program
across the country, maybe put micro ahead of it, and
even like specialize the training for the factories coming in
so that our labor force is ready to hit the
(23:24):
door running and we don't fall on our on our
chins after the president pulls a miracle out and turns.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
On our potential.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Well, I'm going to tell you right now, we have
no business these these universities, these Ivy League institutions of
higher learning. We have no business providing one cent and
taxpayer dollars for these institutions. They have enough money on
their own, and they have the ability to raise even more,
and they don't need our money. And frankly, if if
(23:54):
they keep, if they continue to defy presidential orders, then
I would argue that there's a very strong case to
be made that they should be defunded. Now, if we're
going to spend money on college, I don't think it
should be for Ivy League institutions or but maybe community colleges,
maybe trade schools maybe you know, yes, vocational schools, trade schools.
(24:21):
And I'm just telling you, I just think our money
could be better spent and we can help more people
for far less money than sending these these people to
these schools where they get indoctrinated into radicalism and they
come out dumber than when they went in.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
And also too, we've got plenty of lawyers. There's no
shortage of lawyers in this country, but I guarantee you
there's a shortage of machine and there's a shortage of
welders we need.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
You're right, let me let me tell you something. This
is very very critical. I think there was a story
I read I said this last week about the next
the next generation of millionaires is going to be tradesmen.
AI is not something we have to think about in
the future. The future is now. AI is now.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Yes, we need to Yeah, we need to invest in
our you know, our electric engineering and you know, to
the computer coders and everything but we have to have
our labor force ready, and making more lawyers isn't going
to do it. We need to my tax dollars to
go to radicalizing the next generation of elite, just to
(25:30):
fight us every step of the way.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Appreciate a good call. Thank you, Daphne eight hundred and
ninety four one, Shawn, if you want to be a
part of the program. So I'm talking to this guy
that is an AI expert, and literally he said I
could program something for you just putting your voice and
your views into artificial intelligence, and that long past my death, Linda,
(25:55):
I could literally be giving you comments that I would
give you on any given day based on the news
of that day. I could program it that my kids,
at any point in their life, regardless of how old
they are, they could hear my voice talking to them
about anything they might ask me about where they are
in their lives. How crazy is that?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I think that's really scary. Personally, I don't find that scary. Yeah,
you and I probably don't agree on this. I am
not a big fan of AI.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
I am not a big fan of robotics outside of neuralink,
which would help people who are blind to see in
people who are paralyzed to walk.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Potentially beyond that.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Here's what you're missing. It's bigger than that. I mean
what There's going to be scientific breakthroughs because of AI
that are probably going to extend life expectancies for human
beings for decades.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
I don't know that that's a good prediction. I mean, honestly,
I don't know that that's God's plan.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But I I like the idea of helping It could be.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Used for good or evil. Why wouldn't it be God's
plan to use it for good and help people live longer,
healthier lives.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Well, Earth is a devil's playground, so you know. Unfortunately,
so you want to get to heap it as quickly
as you can.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Is that what you're talking?
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Pretty much. I'm like, I'm good. I hit like eighty,
I'm out. I'm all set this day.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'll be with you in Paradise. I want to go
to Paradise. I'm done. I've given it my best. I'll
say that. I'll say I. You know, once I told
Linda that she might be able to live to over
one hundred, and she's like, nah, i'd rather I'm going
to checking out an eighty.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, I'm ready to go home, like I'm all set.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
My great grandmother lived to one hundred and three. Her
quality of life was not all that great. And I
don't know that I want my quality of life to
improve because I have a robotic arm or a robotic
this or a robotic leg or.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I don't think it's going to be I know people
that I've had knee replacements, hip replacements, this replacement that different.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
I mean, if it's helping you get through your day
to day, everyday life, that's fine. If you're trying to
you know, avoid death, defeat death, beat death. I just
don't think that it works like that. But I do
think there are positive things that come from me. I
don't like AI in the grand scheme of things when
it could potentially replace people, take away those everyday jobs
(28:07):
that we give to young people there in high school
that's already doing it.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
It's already doing it, good, Tuck and so, and we
we we have to adapt to it. That's part of it.
That's why you bring up the trade school issue, or
last call of bringing up the trade school issue. You
learn and guess what AI is not going to be
able to build the house. Anyway, let's get back to
our phones. Eight hundred nine one. If you want to
be a part of the program. Steve Kentucky Next, Sean
(28:32):
Hennity Show.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Thanks for taking the college here, Sean, what's going on?
Just chime in? Going back to Friday, and we started
off the weekend with the whole Ms thirteen gang member
from Maryland and the Senator Democrats have put a lot
of hills to die on. They know they're rating their
their pittal ratings during the tank and I think, what's
(28:54):
going on, whether it's this guy, whether it's the Bernie
aoc rally, whoever else you know, or the head says
thing about, oh, you're spending out confident tran information and
besure we all know now that's true. Either is the
Democrats are putting someone out there because they need a
(29:14):
presidential candidate. They want to see who can garner sympathy
on a topic, not caring what the topic is. They
don't care who gets the traction, who's going to be
our star, who are we going to be able to
use to attract voters, not even their base at this point,
they don't even care about their base. I think it's
about who can we use to attract.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I think that's all they care about is their base,
and I think their base too has been radicalized. I
don't I don't think a moderate is really going to
have a really good shot at winning the nomination. And
I think you'll see some of the more pragmatic Democrats,
you know, guys like Axelrod and people like that, that
are going to say, you know, don't go with the
AOC wing or the Jasmine Crockett wing or the squad wing.
(30:00):
But unfortunately that represents most of the party.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
And I think what we have to do, is either
a moderate or a right leaning individual, is that we
need to keep pressure on every time they bring this
crap up, said, no, you're wrong, this is why this is. Well,
we've got to fight and just like they fight us,
and then not get so hung up on this that, oh,
we got to worry just about this guy from Maryland
(30:26):
who was in the country illegally. No, we need to
keep fighting. We need to keep going forward and keep
moving forward with what we're doing in this country. Because
everybody wants to live good, even left wingers. They want
to have a good job, they want to make money.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
But they think the best way to live well is,
in my view, is to have the government take care
of everything. What is the radical Green New Deal. It's
guaranteed a government daycare and preschool, and guaranteed college, and
guaranteed healthy food and guaranteed healthcare guaranteed, you know, cradle
(31:01):
to grave, womb to the tomb. Now, it may sound
great on paper, but that is the essence of Marxism communism.
Two each according to his need, from each according to
his ability. And unfortunately, it's been tried in it's taken
on many manifestations, many forms, and it always results in
the same. The results are always the same. Failure, unfulfilled
(31:25):
promises more poverty and a loss of freedom and a
bigger bureaucratic state that becomes more oppressive. That is the
predictable outcome. That's why it's that imperative that we help
Donald Trump succeed in eliminating waste, fraud and abuse, securing
our borders, you know, opening up energy dominance, getting free
(31:51):
and fair trade deals, hopefully trying a new approach to
find peace in Europe in the Middle East. Those are
all going to be things that will benefit not just
America but the world in general. And it's every one
of those items is a heavy lift. Appreciate the call,
my friend, God bless you. Eight hundred ninety four to one,
Shawn our number if you want to be a part
of the program. All right, that's going to wrap things
(32:12):
up for today. Hannity Tonight, nine eastern on the Fox
News Channel. The Democratic Party, the party advocating for MS thirteen. Well,
full coverage of that, The very latest with Laura Trump.
Also the legal question with the US Supreme Court, Alan
DERSHWITZU Hewett. Tonight, Nancy Mace confronted by a crazed constituent
who's confronting her. We'll get into that. We'll play that tape.
(32:35):
Dana Perino, Jimmy Fayla, other news of the day, nine
Eastern Hannity, Fox News, see tonight back Hey tomorrow. Thank
you for making this show possible.
Well, we have come in.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
To your city.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Way.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I get tars saying you a conscious cell.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Will be entire.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And if you want a little bang and I come along,
let me push back ages. This was not an MS
thirteen gang member, and you damn well know that. Oh
come on, But here's the reality. As far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
He's a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting
in the White House because last time I checked, he
didn't have any criminal convictions.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
But no one's removed just because of attack too. In
other words, the lan any attext means you can grab
somebody and you can deport them without an extended hearing
because you have labeled them a terrorist. AFRAIDO is back
in style.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Welcome to the revolution that.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We're coming to your going away, I gets talls and
saying you a conscious cell.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Hannity show more me, I'm the scenes.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Information on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
All right, news round up, Information overload, our told free
here's on number. It's eight hundred and nine point one. Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program,
one of the people I've gotten to know and I
love all my colleagues at Fox. I actually discussed this
in a recent podcast, and people always ask me about
my colleagues and what do you think of this person?
(01:34):
What do you think I'm like, I kind of like everybody.
And over the years, I've had my intramural battles with people,
but I'm kind of past that point in my career
and I actually like to celebrate other people's success. I
don't believe any success or failure I have is contingent
on other people's failure or success. It's not a zero
sum game. And one person that has emerged as a
(01:57):
huge star on the channel has been a good friend
from I'll never forget meeting her in the Bush White
House and she was the White House Press secretary for
George W. Bush. Dana Perino. She co hosts America's Newsroom
every day and she is on the hit show The Five.
He has a new book out, I Wish someone had
(02:17):
told Me The best advice for building a great career
and a meaningful life. It's on Amazon dot com. We're
featuring it on Hannity dot com. It's going to be
bookstores all around the country. You're gonna want to get
a hold of this book. But I'm proud to also
call her a friend. Dana. Great to have you. How
are you.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I'm so grateful to be on your show, And honestly,
my heart is bursting with gratitude because I truly can
trace all of this back to you, and I'm really
super grateful for it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Sean, Well, I don't really know you say that, but
I mean, honestly, you were a star from the moment
you were on the podium, and you have some really
funny stories about that part, and it's it's you know,
I remember remember when the Five, for example, was starting
and our old THEO friend who since passed on, Bob Beckel,
was there, and you know, I was a fan of
(03:08):
the show from day one, and he goes, well, why
do you like it? I said, it's a great show.
Well he goes, no, no, no, why do you really like it?
I'm like, because it's a great show. What else do
you want me to say? It just got the perfect
dynamic and it remains, you know, the top rated show
because of that. And did you ever think when you
were in the White House that this would all happen
(03:30):
to you?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I didn't know, And actually, one of the best things
about writing a book of mentoring advice now is to
be able to look back and think, you know, I
tried to plan my whole life away. I worried my
twenties away and when I wrote my first book, and
the good news is one of the reasons I chose
that title is that you realize that the plan that
(03:52):
you have is the thing that God laughs at, and
that the real plan is the one He has for you,
and that's what ended up happening. I would say that
the previous book I wrote mentoring Advice for was for
just for young women. This new one is more broad based,
and it includes great advice from all sorts of our
(04:13):
different walks of life, and our colleagues and people like
Mike Rowe, Dirk Spentley, people have come to know at Fox.
But I'm really impressed by Lawrence Jones's contribution because what
does he say? He said, I said, how did it
impact your career? Was there somebody who made a big
difference in your life? And he said, Sean Hannity, and
that you gave him three rules? And I swear there's
(04:36):
nobody in this building that I can go to who
doesn't have something positive to say about you and how
you lift others up. And I know you think I'm
a star at the podium, but I remember I was
a Rocky contributor at Fox. When I first started, I
was shy. I wasn't sure what you were.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Absolutely not Rocky. You're being rough on yourself. If you
want to see Rocky, go back and watch Hannity and
Combs back in nineteen ninety six and you'll see Rocky.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Hey, do you remember when I got the Daily Briefing show?
And I was nervous because I thought, well, I've just
been answering questions. I remember asked questions and you gave
me the advice about how to ask a question.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I don't remember what did I say? He got home
a call the question It.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Was office when you were role playing, and that he
finally said, Shawn, just ask the question, right.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
That's all true. You give advice, it's invaluable guidance, it's wisdom,
and it's only the wisdom you'll you will accumulate over
a period of a lifetime. Really, and you're passing it
on to people. And I think anybody older young can
learn from it. You know, you talk about all right,
getting your foot in the door, how to break out
in the job and get recognized. And I think that
(05:43):
always means going above and beyond and working really hard.
I mean, there's a hard part of our job that
nobody ever sees, and that's working behind the scenes. Tell
us some of the advice that you're giving in this.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Book for people, Well, one of the things I did
is I refreshed my advice for Dana's dos and don't
for a post COVID workforce. And also I realized that
the people I've been mentoring for my time since I
left the White House in two thousand and eight, they
are still coming to me for advice, and now they
are executives themselves, or managers or big time producers, and
(06:15):
they are becoming mothers and fathers, and I wanted to
add that advice. For example, I haven't raised children, but
I went to people and I asked them for advice
or ask them questions that I could include in the book.
And for example, Ainsley Earhart, who we know and love,
she has great advice for young parents about how to
manage a work life scenario that can be meaningful for
(06:38):
both you and your child. That you can do both
have a career and have that great family life that
you've always wanted. Martha McCallum, for example, she recommends that
young parents don't look more than three months ahead at
a time. I also ask questions like when do you
know it's the right time to leave a job? And
I asked Trey Goudi about that, because he left the
prosecutor of the prosecutor's role to be going the Congress,
(07:00):
and he left Congress and now he is here with
us at Fox News. So there's all these transitions that
our colleagues have made that are really important. I also
talk about how to deal with rejection and disappointment, because
that can cripple people. But if you want to succeed
along the way, you will make mistakes or you will
be disappointed, and how you bounce back from that is
really important and can determine your trajectory on the way forward.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I think I think all of that is sound advice,
and you really did get advice from a wide range
of people from our colleagues, Brett Baer and Ainsley and
Jimmy Fayla and harrold Ford Junior and Trey and Greg.
I don't know what was Greg's advice. Greg Gutfil had
to have great advice.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Greg's advice is great. Do you know how he's been
fired from so many jobs where he talks about how
that was not a problem. He also said look for
the calm person in a crisis. He thought that that
was important. He also said that the jobs that you
take that you think aren't going to be important end
up being the ones that you really care about. And
in addition that, he said, when I asked him a
(08:02):
question of what do you wish somebody had told you,
he said that drinking was no solution to your problems,
That it was a problem masking itself as a solution,
and once you remove it from your life, your life
becomes much bigger than the delusional relationship you had with substances.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That's pretty deep and profound. You know. I find a
lot of comics of and especially somebody as bright and
witty as he is or Jimmy fayala is, is that
they can be complicated people often And what makes what
I find with a lot of people in life, the
people that I find most interesting are the most complicated.
And I could even add Donald Trump to the list,
(08:39):
and a lot of people to this day, really don't
understand them. I've known him for thirty years, and I
kind of know his mindset. I know when he's in
a never ending state of negotiation whether people like that
or not or don't like that. And he likes to
throw people off, and he likes to divert attention, and
he's like a bull in a china shop. He has
(09:00):
an idea, he's going to see it through. When you
look at the very question that you're asking, which is
I wish someone had told me? What do you wish
somebody told you?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
I wish someone had told me not to worry away
my twenties, that everything was going to work out. I'm
an educated American woman who is loved by her family.
I have a wonderful husband of twenty eight years now.
And looking back, when I think about all that time
I wasted worrying, was time that I could have been
investing in myself or enjoying life and having fun. If
you are educated here in America and you have this
(09:34):
opportunity to be here, there's nothing you can't do.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
There's so many Is it a kind of natural though,
for all of us to worry? I mean, it's sort
of a natural thing, that it's sort of a temptation
you have to resist it is, and.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
In fact, if you think about it. There was a
woman I write about in the book. She was in
my singles group at church when I was twenty four
twenty five and I was coming up to my twenty
fifth birthday and nothing was turning out the way I
thought it was going to and met anybody. My career
was kind of okay, and I didn't think it was
going great. And she said, remember what God says, fear not,
(10:08):
You are written in the palm of his hand. I've
never forgotten her reminder, even though I'd been hearing that
since I was a kid. But there are just times
in your life when a friend or a loved one
will just remind you of what you needed to hear.
And I think that there's a reason that over and
over again in a Bible it says that you don't
need to be afraid, Let not.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Your heartbeat troubled. Fear not. You know all of that
is true. The very hairs of your head are counted.
I mean, when you think deeply about that, that's pretty profound.
Or the comforting you know, it's very comforting and honestly,
I attribute two things to any success I may or
may not have had, And one would be my faith,
(10:47):
my belief in God. And number two would be that
I work really, really hard and I don't lift my
head up. And I just since the beginning of my
broadcast career, I always thought I was doing my last show.
I could still kind of feel that way. Yeah, I
still have not gotten over it, Ilby.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I wake up every day thinking it could all go
away in an instant. But there's another thing that you
do which I write about, and I think it's an
undervalued leadership skill, and that is the power of listening.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
All right, quick break, we'll come back more with my
friend colleague Dana Perino, co host America's Newsroom and the
hit show of the Five. Her new book is out.
I Wish someone had told me the best advice for
building a great career and a meaningful life. Amazon dot com,
Hannity dot com, bookstores around the country. All right, we
continue now with my friend, my colleague from Fox Data.
(11:36):
Perino's with us. Of course, she co hosts America's Newsroom
and is on the hit sho of the Five, and
she has her new book out. I wish someone had
told me the best advice for building a great career
and a meaningful life. Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com,
bookstores all across the country. What a lot of people
don't know is the business that we're in his heart.
It really is. And there are a lot of people
(11:57):
gunning for your job, your career, or maybe they don't
like your political opinions, and we give a lot of
opinions right, And I just I have learned to tune
out that noise. I honestly don't hear it. I don't
even have access to social media anymore. I haven't had
it for years. Your phone, it's not on my phone,
(12:18):
and I don't know. I don't even have the password.
I have a team that runs it for me. Yep,
I find if you want to feel bad about yourself,
go read about what people say about you. Well, let
me ask you this, how do you view the current
political situation?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Fascinating? I wake up every day like what's going to
happen next? And I love it. I remember in seventeen
there was a Saturday where I took a nap for
twenty minutes and three stories broke and it was a
pace that would just seemed impossible to keep up with.
And then we had the sleepy Joe Biden years and
it was like so boring and also so upsetting. Right,
(12:55):
you know, you would have Karin Jean Pierre, the Press Secretary,
saying the border is secure and the split screen is
Bill mallusion at the border with everybody streaming across with
no due process at all, and so that was profoundly upsetting,
not to mention the cover up at the end when
she used to say that Joe Biden was running circles
behind them at the White House. It wasn't true, and
(13:15):
I was upset about it then, But I feel like
even more now that the Democrats have generational damage because
of the decision of Joe and Joe Biden for him
to seek another term, and they're going to have to
pay the price for that. The Republicans have gone through
a political realignment. It's fascinating to watch. But the Democrats
are just beginning theirs, and I think that theirs could
(13:36):
even ultimately be more painful because of the decisions that
they made that have basically lost them their foundation. And
the Republicans continue to gain with younger people, and there's
a good reason for that. I think the common sense
piece of what Donald Trump is talking about is a
powerful word. It is persuasive, and it could be longstanding.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I think there is a political realignment going on. I
think the Democratic Party has lost touch with workingmen. And
when I think they've become the party of coastal elites,
when I see, you know, in the US Senate a
couple of weeks ago, that they're championing the right of
men to play women's sports, or you know, look at
this this recent issue with von Holland and his trip.
(14:17):
You know, he never once called the family of Rachel Moore,
and he never once called the family of Kayla Hamilton.
Both women were raped and brutally murdered by illegal immigrants
from Al Salvador. And if they want to be the
party that claims it's a constitutional crisis, when you find
one hundred and fifty billion wasted dollars, you know, waste,
(14:38):
fraud and abuse, I think they are way off track.
And I think that if Donald Trump can get this
economy on track, I think Americans there there might be
a generational shift in terms of what party people vote for.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
What do you think I absolutely think that's right. I
think you've already seen that. And there's also the president
having had built up a lot of I would say capital,
goodwill and his account that he has some time for
people to give him the patience that is needed at
a moment like this. If there is going to be
this transition on the border, I would say that you
know when it's solved that quickly in three months. You
(15:15):
do the split screen now and you look at Egle
past Texas and it's a beautiful natural landscape. There's no people.
But it's hard to keep covering that story. So I
think one communications challenge they have is reminding people that
how bad it was for a year. For the last
four years, what we are dealing with in the cities,
and not just the cities, but many cities being inundated
(15:37):
with illegal immigrants, and now how do we get them out?
And in the meantime, they're trying to deal with the
high prices. So I feel like there's enough time for
them to try to get things in place, to get
things done. It's not an exhaustible amount of time, and
I think that they know that and that's why they're
moving pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Anyway. Dana Perino, co host, America's news room. My friend
and colleague of Fox, also on the hit show The Five,
and her new book is I Wish someone had told
me the best advice for building a great career and
a meaningful life. We have a featured on Hannity dot com,
Amazon dot com, bookstores now across the country, and Data
We I really appreciate you, appreciate your friendship, appreciate your wisdom,
(16:16):
and thank you for coming on and sharing this with us.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Well, thank you for giving me this opportunity, not just
to be on your show, but for everything.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You're the best data Farino. Eight hundred nine four one, Sewan.
If you want to be a part of the program,
we'll come back. We'll get to your calls straight ahead,
making news straight from the source. This is the Sean
Hannity Show. I'm twenty five now to the top of
the hour. Eight hundred nine to four one, Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program, listen,
God forbid you your family. Find yourself in a situation
(16:45):
you feel threatened, Well, first thing you want to try
and get out of that situation without any confrontation. If
that's not possible, I have a personal safety security plan
and it has option two, which is the less lethal option.
And that's where Berner comes in. And this technology is
so effective you can incapacitate any perpetrator for thirty to
(17:06):
forty minutes. And I'll tell you about an avid hiker's
name is Jason. He had his Burner on an evening
hikes with his family. They had a close, harrowing encounter
with a mountain lion and armed with his Berner kineticamo,
Jason was able to deter the animal, protect his family.
That could have been a deadly situation. There's all sorts
of situations that you'll never you know, probably imagine until
(17:28):
it actually happens. The beauty of Berner. It's legal in
all fifty states. You don't need a permit, you don't
need a background check. It is incredible. It has powerful deterrence.
If you want to see how effective it is this
technology and find out why hundreds of law enforcement and
private security firms have now adopted Berner as their non
lethal option. Just see how the technology is advanced to
(17:51):
such a degree that it really works anyway. Just go
to Berner BYRNA dot com slash Hannity that's BYRNA dot com.
Slash Hannity and you'll get ten percent off any purchase.
Check out the videos that are online as well while
you're there. Why is it that the left never seems
to care when they're radicals. You know, they defend the
(18:13):
radicals rights on college campuses to go after, you know,
Jewish students, are you a Zionist? And then these campuses
then tell Jewish students you might want to just work
learn remote for the rest of the semester. And that's
basically at no consequences for the people involved. You know,
how did this become a party where you have outspoken
(18:34):
Democrats sort of worshiping at the altar of Luigi Mangioni.
How did this become the party whose silence is deafening
over the domestic terrorism involving Tesla or the calls for
assassination against Donald Trump, Elon Musk and now others. There
were protesters chanting outside of JD. Vance's house over the weekend. Listen,
(19:11):
if the left thinks this is going to be effective,
that they're going to be persuasive in changing the hearts
and minds of Americans by sounding like a bunch of
idiots like this, good luck with that too. Just like,
good luck championing you know, the rights of a guy
that's been designated a MS thirteen gang member. Tim Wall's
(19:33):
daughter caused the social media storm by saying that if
Jesus were alive today, that the Trump administration would have
claimed he was a member of MS thirteen and deported him.
Like this is how crazy they're getting. Nancy Mace was.
It looked like she was in and she's on Hannity tonight.
Looked like she was in a drug store, and this
guy just kept, you know, following her and harassing her.
(19:56):
And some people didn't like the language she used, but
at some point, there's only so much harassment you're gonna
take from anybody. Listen, every year, I have over a
dozen every year. That was my entire question.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Yeah, you could have you could have come to any
of them.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Last year, I had over a dozen. Where were you
the year before that or the year before that?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Because you know what, because you people on the left
are crazy. You're absolutely crazy. You are, and get out
of my get out of my face, goodbye, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I'm not I won by so much.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
That's where you are here, discrace.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I asked you a simple question, and you just go
on to ty rate and tell me.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, thank you, Get out of my face. Get out
of my face.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Try it again.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
What's your name?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
What's your name? What's your name?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Assuredly, get the out.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Of my face now, thank you.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
You couldn't take me on, baby, Say the fuck away.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
From me, Linda. Could you ever go into a store
running into somebody that's prominent that we vehemently disagree with
and ever saying anything to them? Well, why why would
you do that to a woman alone?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
She is such a ball breaker. She don't take it, man,
I'll tell you what assaulted language.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
No.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
I like her because she stands up for herself, and
it is people like that are not exactly yeah, but
typically you have Typically the left acts like that and
then Republicans just stand there politely and they say, let
them have their say.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's free speech. No, it's not free speech, that's harassment.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Okay, she's out, she's not working at that moment.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I mean, well, you're always serving, and you're an elected official,
you're always serving.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Okay. I'm an elected talk show host. People choose to listen,
so in a sense, right, But I've had people come
up to me. And finally, I'll just look at them
and say, either back off or I'll bring in security.
I'll call the police, and if you come any closer,
I'm going to hurt you. Please don't make me hurt you.
I don't want to hurt you. And I mean it.
(22:08):
And when I say that, why does that grab their
attention so much?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Listen? They love violence. There's nothing they would like more
than for.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Somebody to handle. There's something about those words, which, by
the way, are meaningful. I'm like, I don't want to please,
you know, And I'll step back as I'm saying it
with my hands up in a very peaceful way. And
I get very calm whenever I talk to lunatics. I
don't know, it's like a gift I have. I get
very coin I think.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I think someone like her. She's a congresswoman, she's pretty, she.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Doesn't deserve this crap. He doesn't you know? This is
vir They can just do.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Whatever they want to her. And she's like, Nope, I'm
not having it.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Piss off. I love it all right, Let's get to
our phones. Eight hundred and nine to four one, Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program,
are Daphne, Texas Next Sean Hannity Show. What's up, Daphne?
How are you hi?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Sean? It's an honor to talk to you. You're in
my living room every night.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Thank you, ma'am. Better with makeup? On what's going on?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I have an idea about all this federal money that's
going to these antisemitic Ivy League schools. I think it
should be clawed back, reallocated and start a vocational program
across the country, maybe put micro ahead of it, and
even like specialize the training for the factories coming in
so that our labor force is ready to hit the
(23:24):
door running and we don't fall on our on our
chins after the president pulls a miracle out and turns.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
On our potential.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Well, I'm going to tell you right now, we have
no business these these universities, these Ivy League institutions of
higher learning. We have no business providing one cent and
taxpayer dollars for these institutions. They have enough money on
their own, and they have the ability to raise even more,
and they don't need our money. And frankly, if if
(23:54):
they keep, if they continue to defy presidential orders, then
I would argue that there's a very strong case to
be made that they should be defunded. Now, if we're
going to spend money on college, I don't think it
should be for Ivy League institutions or but maybe community colleges,
maybe trade schools maybe you know, yes, vocational schools, trade schools.
(24:21):
And I'm just telling you, I just think our money
could be better spent and we can help more people
for far less money than sending these these people to
these schools where they get indoctrinated into radicalism and they
come out dumber than when they went in.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
And also too, we've got plenty of lawyers. There's no
shortage of lawyers in this country, but I guarantee you
there's a shortage of machine and there's a shortage of
welders we need.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
You're right, let me let me tell you something. This
is very very critical. I think there was a story
I read I said this last week about the next
the next generation of millionaires is going to be tradesmen.
AI is not something we have to think about in
the future. The future is now. AI is now.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Yes, we need to Yeah, we need to invest in
our you know, our electric engineering and you know, to
the computer coders and everything but we have to have
our labor force ready, and making more lawyers isn't going
to do it. We need to my tax dollars to
go to radicalizing the next generation of elite, just to
(25:30):
fight us every step of the way.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Appreciate a good call. Thank you, Daphne eight hundred and
ninety four one, Shawn, if you want to be a
part of the program. So I'm talking to this guy
that is an AI expert, and literally he said I
could program something for you just putting your voice and
your views into artificial intelligence, and that long past my death, Linda,
(25:55):
I could literally be giving you comments that I would
give you on any given day based on the news
of that day. I could program it that my kids,
at any point in their life, regardless of how old
they are, they could hear my voice talking to them
about anything they might ask me about where they are
in their lives. How crazy is that?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I think that's really scary. Personally, I don't find that scary. Yeah,
you and I probably don't agree on this. I am
not a big fan of AI.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
I am not a big fan of robotics outside of neuralink,
which would help people who are blind to see in
people who are paralyzed to walk.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Potentially beyond that.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Here's what you're missing. It's bigger than that. I mean
what There's going to be scientific breakthroughs because of AI
that are probably going to extend life expectancies for human
beings for decades.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
I don't know that that's a good prediction. I mean, honestly,
I don't know that that's God's plan.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But I I like the idea of helping It could be.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Used for good or evil. Why wouldn't it be God's
plan to use it for good and help people live longer,
healthier lives.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Well, Earth is a devil's playground, so you know. Unfortunately,
so you want to get to heap it as quickly
as you can.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Is that what you're talking?
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Pretty much. I'm like, I'm good. I hit like eighty,
I'm out. I'm all set this day.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'll be with you in Paradise. I want to go
to Paradise. I'm done. I've given it my best. I'll
say that. I'll say I. You know, once I told
Linda that she might be able to live to over
one hundred, and she's like, nah, i'd rather I'm going
to checking out an eighty.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, I'm ready to go home, like I'm all set.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
My great grandmother lived to one hundred and three. Her
quality of life was not all that great. And I
don't know that I want my quality of life to
improve because I have a robotic arm or a robotic
this or a robotic leg or.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I don't think it's going to be I know people
that I've had knee replacements, hip replacements, this replacement that different.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
I mean, if it's helping you get through your day
to day, everyday life, that's fine. If you're trying to
you know, avoid death, defeat death, beat death. I just
don't think that it works like that. But I do
think there are positive things that come from me. I
don't like AI in the grand scheme of things when
it could potentially replace people, take away those everyday jobs
(28:07):
that we give to young people there in high school
that's already doing it.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
It's already doing it, good, Tuck and so, and we
we we have to adapt to it. That's part of it.
That's why you bring up the trade school issue, or
last call of bringing up the trade school issue. You
learn and guess what AI is not going to be
able to build the house. Anyway, let's get back to
our phones. Eight hundred nine one. If you want to
be a part of the program. Steve Kentucky Next, Sean
(28:32):
Hennity Show.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Thanks for taking the college here, Sean, what's going on?
Just chime in? Going back to Friday, and we started
off the weekend with the whole Ms thirteen gang member
from Maryland and the Senator Democrats have put a lot
of hills to die on. They know they're rating their
their pittal ratings during the tank and I think, what's
(28:54):
going on, whether it's this guy, whether it's the Bernie
aoc rally, whoever else you know, or the head says
thing about, oh, you're spending out confident tran information and
besure we all know now that's true. Either is the
Democrats are putting someone out there because they need a
(29:14):
presidential candidate. They want to see who can garner sympathy
on a topic, not caring what the topic is. They
don't care who gets the traction, who's going to be
our star, who are we going to be able to
use to attract voters, not even their base at this point,
they don't even care about their base. I think it's
about who can we use to attract.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I think that's all they care about is their base,
and I think their base too has been radicalized. I
don't I don't think a moderate is really going to
have a really good shot at winning the nomination. And
I think you'll see some of the more pragmatic Democrats,
you know, guys like Axelrod and people like that, that
are going to say, you know, don't go with the
AOC wing or the Jasmine Crockett wing or the squad wing.
(30:00):
But unfortunately that represents most of the party.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
And I think what we have to do, is either
a moderate or a right leaning individual, is that we
need to keep pressure on every time they bring this
crap up, said, no, you're wrong, this is why this is. Well,
we've got to fight and just like they fight us,
and then not get so hung up on this that, oh,
we got to worry just about this guy from Maryland
(30:26):
who was in the country illegally. No, we need to
keep fighting. We need to keep going forward and keep
moving forward with what we're doing in this country. Because
everybody wants to live good, even left wingers. They want
to have a good job, they want to make money.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
But they think the best way to live well is,
in my view, is to have the government take care
of everything. What is the radical Green New Deal. It's
guaranteed a government daycare and preschool, and guaranteed college, and
guaranteed healthy food and guaranteed healthcare guaranteed, you know, cradle
(31:01):
to grave, womb to the tomb. Now, it may sound
great on paper, but that is the essence of Marxism communism.
Two each according to his need, from each according to
his ability. And unfortunately, it's been tried in it's taken
on many manifestations, many forms, and it always results in
the same. The results are always the same. Failure, unfulfilled
(31:25):
promises more poverty and a loss of freedom and a
bigger bureaucratic state that becomes more oppressive. That is the
predictable outcome. That's why it's that imperative that we help
Donald Trump succeed in eliminating waste, fraud and abuse, securing
our borders, you know, opening up energy dominance, getting free
(31:51):
and fair trade deals, hopefully trying a new approach to
find peace in Europe in the Middle East. Those are
all going to be things that will benefit not just
America but the world in general. And it's every one
of those items is a heavy lift. Appreciate the call,
my friend, God bless you. Eight hundred ninety four to one,
Shawn our number if you want to be a part
of the program. All right, that's going to wrap things
