We are Americans. We are pioneers. We are the pathfinders. We settle the new world. We built the modern world, and we change history forever by embracing the eternal truth that everyone is made equal by the hand of Almighty God. America is the place where anything can happen. America is the place where anyone can rise. And here on this land, on this soil, on this continent, the most incredible dreams come true. This nation is our canvas, and this country is our masterpiece. We look at tomorrow and see unlimited frontiers just waiting to be explored. Our brightest discoveries are not yet known. Our most thrilling stories are not yet old. Our grandest journeys are not yet made. The American Age, the American Epic, the American Adventure, has only just begun. Our spirit is still young, the sun is still rising. God's grace is still shining. And my fellow Americans, the best is yet to come. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you very mon. An amazing end to an amazing speech that was the President's speech of a lifetime last night. Look, I gotta tell you, we got a lot to get to today, m my friends in Utah. I hear you. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on Mitt Romney. I don't care. I really don't know. Explain why in a second. Now we the President gives the speech of a lifetime. He has framed amed what will be a referendum election, choice election, unlike any we have ever had in our lifetimes. And he framed it perfectly. And his acquittal will happen in a little over an hour, and it's over, and the polls are through the roof. And I will tell you that it is you talk about somebody rising to the occasion. That is what we saw last night. That was it I have been. I started my journey in radio with what nineteen eighty seven, you can believe it, But on Fox News since what nineteen ninety six, twenty twenty fourth year. Now I've seen a lot of States of the Unions by far, not even close. And Reagan gave great speeches. I'll tell you the best, the best State of the Union speech I have ever seen in my years of loving politics. And you know, you listen to that close, that crescendo, that end, the artistry behind it, the passion behind it, you can feel it, you hear it. The American people, we smelly Walmart Trump supporting shoppers and irredeemable deplorables and what about them lines in the map and everything. You know, those guys, and we believe in God and our Constitution, our Bible's religion. They have guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty is charged. I'm guilty. Made me proud to be an American, made me proud to be blessed that I live in the greatest, single, best country God has ever given. Man, I go back and we'll get to the rush moment, the oh my gosh, when the President honored the Tuskegee Airmen and great grandson during the State of the Union. You know, watching democrats sit on their hands. They can't even applaud when the President announces a scholarship for a fourth grade student, I'm like, really, Or when the President says yes, seventy two this record job creation is women in the workplace. And I see a lot of women in white last night, and it was like a perfect pan They went right from the President saying that, and they just unmoved by all of it. Although I wish I was a Saturday night live writer at this moment. I really do, because if I was, I mean, you could do the entire event on just the Nancy Pelosi mumbling, weird show going on behind the president. It was bizarre, culminating in her tearing it up. But that was a moment that also defined this moment. We're now living and we live in the greatest country God gave man. But I loved the Pioneers or radio and I'll talk more about it later about Rush, but the Barry Farber, who I listened to for so many years, always said, you know, there's never been a country in the history of mankind that has accumulated more power abused it less than the United States. And I add, has never been a country in the history of mankind that has ever accumulated more power and used it to advance the entire human condition than the United States. That's freedom. That's America. That is the country we have been blessed to live in. This is the country we live in. This is the people that we are the best, the most creative. You know, Americans work hard, play hard. That's that defines us. You know, we love freedom, we love fun, we like our music, we like our but we love our families. We go to church on Sunday and you know, get in trouble on Monday. And you know, as the Bard of Georgia Lyinsong goes, it is a tale of two Americans. And this has been unfolding as this, you know, Schumer shift sham show is now concluding presidents and Davos, the envy of the world and the most sought after leader. The president is makes a historic trade deal nobody saw coming with China, and he gets it done. And the president then the president gets the Mexico candidate deal done and the Japan deal done. Are we better off than we wore four years ago? I keep saying it, Yeah, kind of by every measure. Look at the Solomani Iran, at the Caliphate Baghdaddy, then energy independence, the border wall, money allocated one hundred miles up three hundred more by election day. Finally got it, and he had to do it in a backdoorway, but he did it. You know, same with We've never had a bigger cut and endless burdensome bureaucracy killing businesses. We've never had that before. And eight million fewer Americans on food stamps. I mean, think about it, How great is that our fellow eight million, nearly eight million new jobs created. How great is that? You know the president we started out last night, and I know him well, have known him, you know, twenty some odd years, whatever it is. And he I saw when he entered the chamber here. I know him well enough. I could read him. I knew he was in the zone. I knew where this speech was going. I could just see it. And I ended up, Madam Speaker, mister Bud's president. Three years ago, we launched a great American comeback. I stand before you to share the incredible results. Isn't that what politicians are supposed to do? Serve we the people, give us policies. You know, it's live up to our founding document, that this is divine providence, that we are, that we're one nation under God, that we're endowed by our creator. Rights come from God, not from governments. Jobs booming, income soaring, poverty plummeting, crime falling, confidence surging. You know, a country is thriving and respected again. Not only respected, but we're also feared again. And by the way, that's a good thing. Our enemies on the run, our fortunes on the rise, America's future is blazing bright. The years of economic decay, over the days of the country being used and taken advantage of, scorned at by other nations over behind us. Gone are the broken promises of these phony politicians, jobless recoveries, platitudes, excuses for the depletion of American wealth, power, prestige. In three short years, he says, we shattered the mentality of American decline, rejected the downsizing of America's destiny, and we're moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable a short time ago. We're not going back. Wow, what an open, What an open And I know, I think I'm the only person on television that does this, because I mean, this was what was so powerful. And the ratings, by the way, rating came in amazing, the number in the last ten years by far the second highest one ever and he had the first one, and it was very close to beating his own record. But reporting on the economy, you know, when you think of I know, when you hear statistics, you forget that, well, eight million, but those are eight million Americans. You talk about eight million families, you talk about eight million. The impact it has on everybody's life. You know, when the President went into the statistics I just sat there. Seven plus million new jobs, five million more than the experts projected from the previous administration. Unemployment rate lowest in half a century. You know, average unemployment rate under Donald Trump lower than any administration in the history of the country. You know, African American unemployment rates, African Americans, Americans, Asian Americans, record after record after record lows, the lowest level in history. African American youth unemployment, all time low poverty. African American poverty declined to the lowest rate ever recorded. The unemployment rate for women, I watched this moment, the lowest level in seventy years, and last year women filled seventy two percent of all jobs added. Wow, I didn't see the women in white in the chamber last night stand for that. Can we not agree that that's a good thing. Given a kid a scholarship is a good thing? Is there? Are there? I mean, killing a terrorist? Can we just admit that's a good thing too? Veterans unemployment rate record, low, Disabled Americans unemployment rate record all time low workers without a high school diploma, lowest unemployment rate ever recorded, record number of young Americans employed. That was good for me growing up, or as I would have been getting in trouble every day. You know what, what what did he inherit? Thirteen million more Americans on food stamps after eight years Obama Biden thirteen eight million more in poverty, lowest labor participation rate since the seventies, disaster, worst recovery since the forties, you know, and he's dropping one hundred and fifty billion, you know, on a tarmac for the Mullahs in Iran that want us dead. Yeah, that's a genius foreign policy. You know, the bottom half of way journals, they always though it's only for the rich total bs, it's increased by forty seven percent. That's the bottom half of way journals. You want to know who's paying more? The top ten percent, they're paying more. I the Trump tax cut because I don't get to deduct state taxes, I'm paying more money. But by the way, that why should I get a tax deduction for living in a state that elects liberals that tax us into oblivion? When Florida and Texas they don't get that tax break, I didn't deserve it. I say, I gotta get smartened up. I gotta move to one of these states. That's the other thing. Then the stock market, you know, household income for a one k's jobs and investment opportunity zones. You look at the new trade deals, criminal justice reform, just run through it. It is and what do you have? What do you compare it to? You know, Nancy Pelosi being extraordinarily weird and strange and then culminating in or ripping up the speech. What are the Democrats done in the last three years? Well, anything to keep us more safe and secure that you can think of? Ask yourself, have they done anything to create jobs? Ask yourself? Have they done anything to make us more prosperous or more perfect union? Know? What have we gotten? Rage? You know, sore loser ism, a temper tantrum of Democrats, radical extreme socialists and their state run TV mob friends in the media that hate us clearly based on all the things they say about us. In two hundred and seventy two days, you can shock the world again. You are the ultimate jury. I can't define this election and what it means more than what the President did last night and what we see going on, what we saw with Pelosi and what we've seen for three years. You want to reward them, and then they're gonna give you a new green deal ninety four trillion in ten years. Good luck with that fifty two trillion Medicare for all. How did Obamacare work out for you? I have a lot of friends in Utah. I know you're angry. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it. I know probably some of you want me to, and I know, and I'll be honest. You have every right to be angry. But I'm gonna tell you why I don't feel anger towards Mitt Romney. I remember I went all informant Romney. Mitt Romney would have been by far a better president than Barack Obama. He could have won that election. That was a winnable election. I could not believe they stood down in debates two and three and I was flabbergasted. And I remember, I couldn't believe it. I got to know him. I think his wife is an amazing persons family, nice people. Mit is a nice person in real life. Here's where I feel about Mitt Romney, and I'm not gonna I'm not doing this. After I made these short comments. I have observed in the course of my life. Anyone that loses the presidency, they all think they're gonna win. Then they kind of lose their minds and their way. It impacts them deeply. Exhibit A. Al Gore Exhibit B, John McCain Exhibit C, Hillary Rodham Clinton Exhibit D. I would say, now is Mitt Romney. You know, his arguments were incoherent to me constitutionally. You know, even the many of the Republicans the Trump defeated in the primary. You know John Kasa used to be in front of him. He's gone, totally gone. I have no idea what happened to him. And this never Trumper, you know they if Donald Trump, in the minds of some people, the left, the mob and never Trumpers, secured cancer, they'd want to impeach him for that. That is the tale of two Americas. It's sad it is unnecessary to me his arguments will incoherent. I wish him the best. We have a lot of work to do in two hundred and seventy two days. That's where I'm putting my focus. They're joined this evening by Carl and Marsha Mueller. After graduating from college, their beautiful daughter, Kala became a humanitarian aid worker. She once wrote, some people find God in church, some people find God in nature, some people find God in love. I find God in suffering. I've known for some time what my life's work is, using my hands as tools to relieve suffering. In twenty thirteen, while caring for suffering civilians in Syria, Kayla was kidnapped, tortured, and enslaved by ISIS and kept as a prisoner of al Baghdaddy himself. After more than five hundred horrifying days of captivity, al Baghdaddy murdered young beautiful Kayla. She was just twenty six years old. On the night that US Special Forces operations ended al Baghdaddy's miserable life, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Billy, received a call in the situation room. He was told that the brave men of the elite special Forces team that so perfectly they carried out the operation, had given their mission and name Task Force eight fourteen. It was a reference to a special day, August fourteenth, Kayla's birthday. Carl and Marcia, America's warriors never forgot Kayla, and neither will we thank you. For twenty five to the top of there are so many moments like that last night, I mean, wow wow, I mean honoring the Touskegee Airmen and great grandson during the State of the Union scholar some Democrats Nancy Belosi doesn't even applaud for when the President announces a scholarship, an opportunity scholarship that the President announced that is become available and it is going to this young girl from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Our life is going to be better and the changes as of last night, and we saw the surprise with the military, and we saw the presentation of the Medal of Freedom to rush meant a lot to me watching that, all those of us, that's a small family in radio, it was amazing. You know, somebody I saw a tweet last night. I don't know who said it. We watched Nancy Pelosi tear up the speech. There's no truth in it, she said later, and somebody who wrote it, I couldn't do it any better. One of our last surviving tuskegeearmen, you tore that up, the survival of a child born at twenty one weeks That what we just turd the you know, the morning of Kayla Mueller and Rocky Jones, the mourning families, a service member's reunion with his family. That's what she tore up. She is. It is these. It defines who this party now is, radical extreme socialist Democrats that have done nothing for three solid years except hate Donald Trump. If you can call in with the accomplishment that you want to tell us about, that's great. What if the Democrats done in the last year of Obama? They supported a border wall last couple of years second term, but when Trump proposes it, oh, this is a manufactured crisis. But they're playing politics with our safety and security of the heroine that's killing our children crosses that southern border and they're playing politics with that. It is one of, if not the most classless act. I've seen a lot of State of the Unions over the years. I think this was by far the best I've ever seen, and I mean that in every way. It's the artistry of it, but more importantly the results and the comparisons. It is a It defines the path that this country, the choice that this country will make. In two hundred and seventy two days, you got their America, do the math ninety four trillion new Green deal in ten years will only take in four trillion a year, fifty two trillion. Medicare for all will only take in four trillion a year. How to defend the country. And you saw the President tonight pushing an agenda of prosperity and liberty and freedom, American exceptionalism, security, safety, prosperity for this family of ours, our American family. What was a uniquely American speech. Proud to be an American listening to it, Happy for my fellow Americans benefiting from a government finally working for them, highlighting jobs, booming, poverty, lowering respect around the world. All of that, the brave men and women that defend this country and killed Baghdaddy and beat the caliphating and got solomony. You know it is that they were honored last night, repeatedly, and honored by the biggest military build up which we needed since Ronald Reagan was president, and in real dollars bigger. And you watch Nancy Pelosi, I mean, you want to talk about a Saturday Night Live skit. At one point, I literally you know, so many people writing me, texting me, and I'm like, okay, I got to stop. And it was a distraction. I had to just finally say I can't watch this anymore and listen. And I had the copy of the speech in front of me, highlighting the things that I wanted to bring on the air. I knew I was coming on at eleven o'clock, and you know, they're living in this other alternative reality. I don't recognize. I don't recognize in America where you don't stand for a young woman getting a scholarship that's gonna make or life better, or killing a terrorist, or talking about jobs for every demographic improving drastically, or the lowest unemployment numbers in half a century. You know, there's I would think there's certain fundamental things that we might all agree on, but Nancy Pelosi showed us exactly what I've been pointing out for some time. There is this rage, this psychosis, this this every second, every minute, every hour of every day. Not to be a broken record, but you see it. You saw it last night with your own eyes. Courteous thing. Yeah's no truth in it. Tell that to the tuskegearman. Tell that to the fourth grader who's going to have a better life, thank god, you know, Tell that to the families, the family of Kayla. You know, um Jonathan Turley. I couldn't help notice that most popular column on the Hill website today is by Jonathan Turley. He's a Democrat, says openly, I never voted for Trump talked about Pelosi's conduct. While many will celebrate her trolling of the President, she tore up something far more important than a speech. Pelosi has shredded decades of tradition, decorum, civility that the nation could use now more than ever, And he writes no such indignity was imposed on President Clinton during his own impeachment proceeding. Yet Pelosi proceeded to repeatedly shake her head maud words to others. By the way, it was weird, visibly disagree with the address. It was like, you know, some distempered, distracting performance art behind the president. He said that so much more eloquently than I just did. Notably, she did not wait to rip up a copy of the speech until after she left the House floor, and Pelosi wanted to do it at the end of the address in front of the cameras with the President in the chamber. The act was more important to Pelosi than preserving the tradition of her office. In doing so, she forfeited the right to occupy that office. If Pelosi cannot maintain the dignity and neutrality of her office at the State of the Union, she should resign as the Speaker of the House. It's fascinating because Stenny Hoyer, you know, it's never a good thing when well she's the speaker, he's number two, messes up this bad But after this, you know, but this has been three years of a tempted tantrum. This never ends. And Steny Hoyer makes an attempt at damage control and was pelted with questions, and he responded by saying, but you know, it was a distraction and justified it by saying, well, the speech was divisive. It was not. President didn't even mentioned impeachment. New Gingrich had very strong words for this too, called it he was disgusted and insulted. And he was the speaker when Clinton was being impeached. If he remember, he actually gave due process to Clinton and his attorney's unlike you know Pelosi and you know the Shift show and Nadler and company. He tweeted as a Speaker of the House for four State of the Unions by a president and the other party, I'm disgusted and insulted by the viciously partisan action. Nancy Pelosi tearing up the speech. She is in clever or cute. Her childishness insults are American traditions and should be censored. He's right. Another thing happened last night that nobody's really focusing on here. It's the American people were watching the mob in the media. Let me tell you something. I'm looking at the ratings. Nobody watched them. Well they I mean they watched the speech. Nobody watched their commentary after The numbers that we had now eleven PM at night are historic and cable from eleven to twelve. President's numbers. Massive people watching the speech. People saw it. People are instinctively fair and good, the American people. James Carville says he's so alarmed by the rise of Sanders. He's afraid the Democratic Party is becoming an ideological cult. I've been telling you about the Clinton faction, the you know, supporters of Obama, they're all they're scared to death. Now now they're trying to cheap Bernie again, and nobody cared the last time. Senator Tim Scott, our friend from South Carolina, said that the President's key to reelectionist November is the African American vote. We went over the Zogby poll yesterday, twenty two percent approval rating thirty eight percent Hispanic Americans significantly higher than in twenty sixteen. Why because he's bringing results. It's not that hard. And he said if he can get between fourteen and sixteen percent in twenty twenty, it would be phenomenal. Game over. We're talking about somebody, Senator Scott saying was producing amazing results for African Americans. He's actually in the middle of one of the best runs of president has had in my lifetime. Van Jones wasn't the the guy that said this is a white lash. Didn't say something like that on Fake new CNN the night Trump won. This is what he said. This is pretty interesting to me. He said the President's State of the Union address should serve as a big wake up call for Democrats because it showed the President Trump is clearly courting black voters. What he was saying to African Americans last night can be effective. You may not like it, but he mentioned historically black colleges, for example, and that I've been struggling for a long time a bunch of them have gone under. He threw a lifeline to them in a real in real life in his budget, he talked about it. He talked about criminal justice reform, he did it. He talked about opportunity zones, he did that too. He said, that's a warning shot across the bout of Democrats. He's going after every African American vote in this country, not just suburban votes. He's going after black votes quote unquote. Owned by the way new numbers in NBC job market kicked off twenty twenty in grand fashion two d and ninety one thousand in private payroll jobs, for the best monthly gain since May of twenty fifteen. According to a report by ADP and Moody Analytics, the president has the highest economic approval rating of any president in the last twenty years. I mean, and Politico has a piece out. Finally, Joe Biden, this is what you know if the Mitt Romney thing, I'm like, he exonerates Hunter and Joe quid pro quote Joe and zero experienced Hunter. All right, Mitt, whatever, But anyway, politic Biden's no longer denying his surprisingly weak performance in Iowa. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. We got a gut punch in Iowa, Biden said, before cracking a joke about Iowa's botch caucuses. The whole processes took a gut punch. Well, look, this isn't the first time in my life I've been knocked down. Well, coming in for us nearly fifth is not good. You know, there was a piece swear did I see this Washington Post? Even a five alarm fire has begun. Caucus glitch has emboldened Trump and fueling Democratic anxiety. This we've been witnessing a three year temper tantrum. What are they missing here? Okay, I guess Pete Buddha Judges now the front runner, him and Bernie Iowans didn't care about Biden's electability by the way, And James carvill I think his right sounding the alarm for the whole Democratic Party. It has now shaken the establishment. Now they want to cheat him again. Wow, I can't believe it. By the way, this is all of their own doing. There was a great piece in the New York Post today about that it's been the last three years Democrats, you know, talking about an election security last four months screaming about the risk that the president will interfere with the twenty twenty election results. You know even had you know the Shift show guys saying what if? What if he decides to give Alaska to the Russians so they help us? I mean, that's how nuts they all are. Yet they can't get it together to prevent their own vote in the first twenty twenty primary caucus in Iowa. They have only themselves to blame. You want to give them ninety four trillion for a new Green Deal and give them even more power over healthcare with Medicare for all. I don't That's a bad idea, bad for the country. I'm telling you, this is your election. You own this. You're the ultimate jury. I can't do it. I defer to the American people, and you can shock the world again in two hundred and seventy two days. I hope you do all right. As we speak, the acquittal of the President is ongoing. I'm not giving Romney the attention. I do feel sorry for my friends in Utah and texting with my buddy rot Arquette. Love brought Arquette out there. He's a great guy, and I know my friends in Utah disappointed. I just I'm not if anything the arguments he meant. Romney literally exonerated Quinton pro and quote Joe and zero experience Hunter. Now we've gone over chapter and verse on this program, all the applicable laws as it relates to zero experience Hunter and whopping eighty four grand a month and average family of four less than fifty four thousand a year. And what vice president would ever, you know, leverage a billion of our tax dollars. You're not getting it unless you're fired the prosecutor investigating my zero experience son being paid millions barn Corrupt Practices Act. Let me read this. It is illegal for a US person to coerce. You're not getting the billion unless you fire the prosecutor or influenced through bribery or extortion billion dollars. If you fire him, you got the You got the billion. A foreign nation into taking actions that might financially benefit that person, his family, hunter, or business. Oh what about bribery? US eighteen US C two O one C. Whoever corruptly gives, offers, promises anything of value to a public official to influence an official act is guilty of bribery. You're not getting the billion unless you fire the prosecutor paying my zero experience on millions and millions, and the Gratuitous Act, then the Hobbs Act. So I don't you know, it's it's like Mitt Romney's incoherent. Okay, Mitt, I know you lost. You can't get over it. You're bitter, and that's that's where that's that is it in a nutshell, everybody modern age lost the presidency, they end up losing their mind. Same thing happened. Very angry John McCain, very angry Hillary Clinton, very bizarre and angry Al Gore. Anyway, that vote is going on now, but it will be what it's going to be. Probably if I guess, I had to guess, you know, fifty fifty somewhere in there, it doesn't matter. You needed sixty seven votes to impeach the president, convict the president. And by the way, we have new numbers YEP two ninety one thousand private payroll jobs added according to ADP and Moody Analytics. This information out today. To add to all of the economic success that the president listed on and on and on and what I thought was the best State of the Union speech I've ever seen. Anyway, we have the president with the highest economic approval rating of any president in the last twenty years. We've talked about eight polls showing dramatic growth for the president, with African Americans even hitting thirty four and a half percent, thirty four percent, thirty three percent. Yesterday, John Zogby had the president support with African Americans at twenty two percent. These are real numbers, no longer outliers. He only had eight percent of the African American vote in twenty sixteen, and with Hispanic Americans nearing now forty percent, approval rating also up significantly, his best gallop numbers ever, a record for Donald Trump and yes, even better than Obama and George Bush at this time forty three and forty two. Anyway, consumer confidence is surging. We have barons. Look at this US consumer confidence a strong gain in January, bolstered by continued strength in the job market well way of the energy jobs start kicking in wait of the two hundred and twenty billion now in the deal with China alone for farmers and service industry people and those that work in the car industry, manufacturers and the energy sector I said, and other manufacturing jobs that are coming back as a result of that. Just one deal and we have the new deal. Looks like Mexico is going to pay a lot more money. We could use that money for the wall. Same with Canada, Japan. Are Western European allies ending burdens some regulation? Obama said those jobs are never coming back. They're back anyway. The highest economic approval rating of any president in the last twenty years Gallop sixty three percent of the public backs the president's handling of the economy. That is a six point increase from November ABC Washington Post poll last week announcing Trump receiving strong support also on his economic record. Confidence in the economy remains that one of its highest points now in decades. As we continue to add jobs and prosperity for we the people, every demographic impacted in a positive way. Joining us our posters for this election year twenty twenty, two hundred and seventy two days. You are the ultimate jury and in two hundred and seventy two days you get to shock the world again. Matt Towery is with us. Also, John McLaughlin, you know how you how By the way, welcome back guys. Matt. You did a poll about Mitt Romney in Utah and it was a disaster before this decision. Yeah, well, we never even asked the question, what if he voted not to a quote? We did actually said if he voted not to acquit. I think it was sixty something percent wanted him to vote to acquit, and I think a large majority said they would consider someone else to even nominee. I think that he is unless the future. There's a twist that we don't know about. I think Mitt Romney's toast in Utah. I don't think we would get his party's nomination the next time. I don't think so. By the way, Jason Chafitz, your state calls you, um, John McLaughlin. Look at these economic numbers. I mean, as the President was reading every single number, it was really funny because I, um, my, sweet baby James, you know who finds stuff all over the internet. He finds this piece on the Democrats and literally the Hollywood elite us out there and they're losing their mind. I mean Bett Middler, poor Bett. I had a Twitter war with her when I used to tweet before they took it away a couple of years ago. From me. Where does he get his stats from? He lies so much? Why should we believe it? Tonight or ever. He threw people off of food stamps. He didn't love people off of Welford. They just make it up, you know, John Qusac. The horror is the point, the cruelty is the feature, you know, lauding himself for kicking seven million people off of food steps. Hello, Hollywood, those are called jobs, the eight million jobs associated with that success. And you don't define compassion by you know, feeding people of fish every day in the crumbs from your elitist table. But anyway, I sorry, John McLaughlin, Well you've hit the nail on the head. I mean, the vaster jority of Americans say the economy's grown. And in the twenty sixteen race, I rightly discussed with the President why he was going to win and why we would bring out millions of new voters, which you had a record in twenty sixteen, was because I said, you are their blue collar billionaire. There were people across the heartland of America, in the sun Belt and the Rush Belt that you know, a one paycheck away from disaster. But at the time they were worried about losing their job, not getting pay raisers for that emergency. What would happen now? They feel secure in their jobs. They see help wanted ends, they tell us and focus groups that they're getting pay raises. Now they don't see a boom, but they see it growing. But the President last night labeled it correctly, is the blue collar boom. So it's hardly the America. And from the bottom up, people know that things are going in the right direction, which is why right now and the deranged Democrat primary after the collapse to the Iowa Caucuses, the Democrat establishment is panicking that a socialist is going to lead their ticket because Trump has dominated the economic issues and the growth issues in the United States so well that the Democrats have no place to go but literally to a socialist. Matt Towery, I keep talking about two Americas, and it was on display throughout this entire Schumer shift sham show, ending now an acquittal of the President of the United States. Rightly so, and just I'm sick of talking about in and hearing any any of them talk about it anymore. It's like ridiculous. And so now we have Nancy culminating a three year tempa tantrum. I can't name a single thing Democrats have done to make us more safe or secure more prosperous to help create one job, culminating in a three year witch hunt, conspiracy theories, lie smears, slanderbus merchman, etc. And then Nancy Pelosi tears up the speech. The tears up the speech that also honored the Tuskegee Airmen and honored I couldn't believe she didn't. Democrats wouldn't stand a young woman is given a scholarship. How cool was that? We don't stand for that. We don't stand when we talk about we killed terrorists that killed this young woman, Kayla that the President talked about last night. Amazing hell of two Americas. Well, Sean, this may be the weak that destroys the Democratic Party in this election cycle, if you think about it. In this week, we're going to have the president acquitted today. You had a State of the Union address last night that was just abysmal. I was going back and forth with our friend Nuke Gingrich. I told him, I said, you should give lessons to Nancy Pelosi about how to behave when you have someone from the other party who, by the way, the president. Enough votes have been given that acquit the president now and then that's just the final tally, which will be fifty fifty. Go ahead, Matt. So anyway, just to exactly to it to our point, you had to Iowa Caucus, right. I don't think we still have the full number as to who won. That was a complete debacle. So everything that's happened this week, that Iowa Caucus and the shambles, it's in the State of the Union address last night that I think is going to be a pivotal moment in the history of the Trump administration. I think it's going to lead to his reelection brings a culmination of it together. All of this coming together with him being acquitted today and is approve rating being the highest extent since he was sworn in. This is not good for the Democrats, and it was a magnificent week for President Trump. Same question, John McLaughlin. Absolutely, I agree with Matt. And by the way, he's you know, like you said, he's acquitted. But I'll tell you what the Democrats the big impeachment backfire when they started this in September, it was to take the president down. And what they did was guess who they took down the Democratic Party's front runner, Joe Biden. Joe Biden placed fourth, and I will have no delegates, he will lose New Hampshire. He'll be out of the race within a week or two at the most, if not on Wednesday morning. And the Democrat establishment is in a panic right now. I mean, they're gonna end up going to Mike Bloomberg because he's the only one they can get. I mean, by the way Washington Post, John Democrat five alarm fire has begun, talkus glitch in Bolden, Trump fuel Democratic anxiety, and they're trying to cheat Bernie again, which is making me laugh, except it's pathetic. It's happening in America. But this is what Matt and you and I spoke about in previous conversations about following the polls. There is a socials primary going on inside the Democrat Party between Warren and Sanders, and Sanders is about to win it. There's a moderate primary that Biden was in mc clobshar and Buddha Judge. Buddha Judge is about to win that one. And although Bloomberg's going to try to come in and take that from them, but you know what, they're going so far left that we're gonna run really hard in the Trump campaign, and we're gonna run every day because you said a two hundred and seventy two days. The election is not tomorrow, it's not next week, it's it's all the way in November. All right, final vote in fifty two forty eight not guilty. It's over the Schumer Schiff Sham three year culminating temper tantrum with this vote and Nancy Pelosi ripping up the speech last night. Now you the American people that now rest in your hands, you're the ultimate jury. In two and seventy two days article of impeachment, forty eight senators have pronounced on old John Trump, President of the United States, guilty as charged. Fifty two senators have pronounced him not guilty as charged. Two thirds of the senators president not having pronounced him guilty. The senator judges that the respondent, Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is not guilty as charged in the first article of impeachment. On the second one going on, now, I would assume you might see more than fifty two forty eight. Remember you needed sixty seven the total. This has been a three year tempatation from never ending, culminating last night with Nancy Pelosi right, our posters, John McLaughlin, Matt Towery, let's handicap John Buddha Judge and Bloomberg. Bloomberg who wants to take away our guns in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, in Michigan and elsewhere, good luck with that, right, Well, well that's what the Democrat Party wants to do, so inside that primary, that actually helps him. But the reality this is blue Judge. If he scores as well as he did in New Hampshire as he did in Iowa, He's could have taken a lot of mon votes that Bloomberg needs because the Socialist votes are about to go to Bernie and Bernie. If he won New Hampshire before, he's going to do very well in New Hampshire on Tuesday. And if he comes out of New Hampshire with a head of steam to win Nevada, he's also moving up in South Carolina. He wins South Carolina, there's no way Bloomberg can stop him on March third. So well, well, you know, guys, on Monday, I think I told you guys, I was getting a strange feeling that he might win or do well there because with Biden's looking under fifteen percent and a lot of those caucuses, people had to choose another one, and they chose Mayor Pete. I agree with John, I think Mayor Pete has an opportunity to keep the ball rowing if he does well in New Hampshire. South Carolina is gonna be a challenge for him. But if, but if Bloomberg can't cut into some of these early primaries and caucuses. If he can't do that, he's gonna have a hard time picking up after Super Tuesday of winning this thing. So I think it's gonna be a forced play if Bloomy Bloomberg gets the nomination. Now I think Mayor Peat maybe on his way to being the Jimmy Carter of our time again, another small small can he be Trump? And you're a view, absolutely not, absolutely not. He can't do it. John, By the way, what think about the irony? This is the three term mayor of New York City is about to lose to a formalist socialist mayor of Berlin, Vermont, or the mayor former mayor of South Bend, Indiana. I mean, it is not who we'll talk about a horrible mayor. I mean, and Bloomberg was like a caretaker mayor. And there's nobody more dull than as Marx. He wants to actually tell us, you know how much how much soda we can drink. I'm gonna tell you I thank you, John, thank you Matt when we come back. Why this is sad on the one hand and on the other, and why Mitt Romney's a diminished figure today. This is what's right with America. You're listening to the Sean Hannity Show. This article of impeachment, forty eight senators have pronounced Donald John Trump, President of the United States, guilty as charged. Fifty two senators have pronounced him not guilty as charged. Two thirds of the senators president not having pronounced him guilty. The Senator judges that the respondent, Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is not guilty as charged. In the first article of impeachment. On this article of impeachment, forty seven senators have pronounced Donald John Trump, President of the United States, guilty as charged. Fifty three senators have pronounced him not guilty as charged. Two thirds of the senators present not having pronounced him guilty. The Senate of judges that respondent Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is not guilty as charged. In the second article of impeachment. That would be game over. The Schumer Shiftsham show is over. And you know, I just I'm so tired of it and hearing them all today, just didn't even want to hear one more word from anybody, because I'm just sick of all these people. I think they are small. I think that they are irrational. I think they're full of rage, hatred, bitterness and the comparison that we now have as a country and culminating in the ripping up of the speech last night. It has been three years of a never ending Democrat slash state TV lying medium mob temper tantrum, not accepting the results of we the people, we smelly Walmart Trump supporters guilty is charged or well you know on m lines and the maps and stuff, and they know was the Ukraine and sipping Latte's and that was fake New CNN or that irredeemable deplorables or bitter Americans a clink to God, cling to their Constitution and their Second Amendment rights and their Bibles and religion. That very revealing moments to me. You know, I said, I'm not gonna talk a lot about Mitt Romney. I will tell you it is sad because in many ways he voted, he split his vote, he was the only one to change votes on the He voted not guilty on the second article, guilty on the first article. And he is a to me, a diminished figure, petty small, insignificant, and his you know, when he goes out gives the statement that a exonerating quid pro quote Joe and zero experienced Hunter, I'm like, you're incoherent. And it's what I have said. I have noticed my whole life. People lose elections, they lose their minds. Gore, McCain, Hillary, and sadly Mitt Romney. I like Mitt, but he you know, he's I think he could not accept he lost the presidency. And as I look at this, there's a part of me that is like, this is you know, three never ending long years of Democrats, the medium mob, lying, taking on what is breathtaking hypocrisy, you know, lying, conspiracy theories, a hoax, you know, a sham. Look at the lack of due process, look at look at the race to impeach the urgency so we can go on vacation and then hold it back and demand that the Senate do it our way because we were too we didn't want to Wait. Oh, John Bolton is probably gonna say that the President said, I'm not going to give him a penny unless unless Ukraine does this, this, and this. Okay, maybe the President said it, it won't matter because he never did it. The four facts never change. They never they never announced anything, never said anything, and they said they never felt the pressure. There's nothing you know, we can't now vent it is and you look at you know, the comparison here. This will define now this election for the next two hundred and seventy two days. That's why I keep reminding and I will count it down every day. I'll remind you of the record of Biden Obama because what this group of Democrats want to do is far worse. Ninety two trillion dollars wow in ten years for a new green deal with no oil of gas Okay, no internal combustion engine. Okay, everything is free, free, I'll promise you everything. Almost sounds like that trying to bribe American voters like a quid pro quo. You'll get free education, free, healthcare free, that's free, that free, everything's free, and never have to take care of a thing. Well, how did Obamacare workout? We're now, on average, paying two hundred percent more millions lost dead doctors for almost forty percent thirty seven percent of Americans. And I'll have one Obamacare exchange option. That's it. We were promised we're gonna save on average, perfect family, twenty five hundred dollars a year. No, two hundred percent more on average. It's sad. And then I look at the president last night, I thought, the best State of the Union address I've ever seen, and he's All of the President's accomplishments have you know, all have happened with this? You know, constant, you know, intense, insane distraction after distract Trump Russia, Russia, Trump Trump Rushi sports, separate investigations, No Trump Russia collusion. The amazing thing about is everything boomerangs because the only one, well two instances of Russia collusion, Hillary's dirty bought and paid for Russian dossier leaked to the media like hacks like Korn and Isakough conspiracy theorist that they are, Yeah, that was, that was and then becomes premeditated fraud because they were all worn. Don't use it. Then they use it as the basis of a FISA application. They deny the rights of one carter page is constitutional rights, civil liberties. So they can spy on a presidential candidate Donald Trump, his transition team and deep into his presidency and the spying that was outsourced abroad that we'll learn about at least now we'll go everything now validated. Then of course we have the you know what we were told originally six countries? How many countries acted in a Hillary's email with top secret classified information in it, which is illegal on a violation of the Espionage Act? Or they the obsession with a Trump obstructed obstructed, obstructed? No he didn't. Rod Rosenstein, Tourney General said nope, didn't do it. Even the Muller report didn't give them what they wanted. So they just make up this Ukraine thing. But if Boomerang's back, the other person in Russia collusion is Schiff compromised in this Ukraine situation. You can't make this up, you know, tell me about what are you going compromised? The man Thrump? What's the nature of the compromise? Pixes and naked Thrump the naked does Ladermer know? Yeah? But of course ladim in the naked pixes, Trump Compaio on tape why colluding with Russians to get dirt on Trump? Ukraine? January eleven, twenty seventeen. Political Investigative Report d NC operative Alexander Cholupa goes to Ukrainian embassy for the purpose of colluding with Ukraine to dig up dirt on Donald Trump, and political concludes they were successful. Donald Trump nothing absolutely nothing. Can you you know, we've been dealing with three years of this election interference stuff. Can you get to it? You know, look at the boomerang on Russia. Look at the boomerang on Mueller. Look at the boomerang on Hillary. Look at the boomerang on the Bidens. You're not getting the billion. You're not unless you fire a prosecutor that's investigating my zero experienced son being paid millions millions. We've identified the laws, We've gone over them in great detail on this program. You've mentioned them a little bit in the last hour. This is who they are. They can't help themselves. And in two hundred and seven, two days, if you shocked the world again, I guess they want to impeach up another four hundred times. I don't know, but as I you're comparing you contrast how small and diminished they are, how petty they are, how irrational they are, the rage that they hold, the hatred that they have, the bitterness they're They're just they're small people. They're sore losers. It's a temper tantrum that never ended, culminating with Nancy last night. I mean, this is now a tipping point for this country in two hundred and seventy two days. That's why you being the ultimate jury matters in two hundred and seventy two days. And you can go to Hannity dot com all election information, Wendy register wins, the deadline, What about early voting in your state? What about absentee? We put it up there. What congressional district do you live in? Blah blah blah, just information. Oh way, do you see the video? Oh my gosh, this ad byle who put that ad out? It's our lead story on Hannity dot com. Senate Republicans, Oh wait till I show this on Hannity, Tell you're gonna love it. But now you look at this diminished three year temper tantrum. I think they have embarrassed themselves on a level that is spectacular and you compare it to what I've been in this business now, starting in thirty one years ago, twenty four years at Fox. I've survived. I don't know how. Thank you, I guess I know how. Thanks to you for listening to this show. Thanks to you for watching Hannity. I mean eleven o'clock last night, I mean over six million viewers CNN, MSNBC. That's three times their highest number all night last night. It's it's unbelievable. I mean, in primetime. It's crazy. Thank you for that. Because you give me this microphone, you give me that camera. We honor it. We were vindicated as they were their conspiracy theories, their hoaxes, as they were smearing and slandering and besmirching. We got to the truth. We worked hard. Did you do it right? The President last night goes through all right, we know as foreign policy success, I mean Solomoni dead, Baghdaddy dead, the Caliphate wiped out, were no longer protracted wars. Another promise made kept trade deals China to twenty to help farmers and manufacturers and energy and service sectors and car industry. Also with Canada Mexico. Mexico's paying more. I guess we could use that money for the wall. Years of economic decay are over. Just today, two ninety one thousand new jobs. Wow, you think we'd be happy. They can't even stand when a young woman has given a scholarship and a better life, thank God. Or when you know all the jobs for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian American women in the workplace, youth unemployment, I mean there's never been in three years. You know, America is you know, as he said, rejecting the downsizing of our destiny. Years of economic decay are over, killing job killing regulations and acting historic tax cuts as promised conservative justices. Building the wall. He finally got the money that way. I went out on a limb like I always do, and I said, he's going to govern as a conservative. Ah Mitt Romney's of the world. The never trumpers never believed me. I love some of my industry now that act like they were on board as a joke. Unemployment rate the lowest in half a century. We're now moving towards eight million new jobs, eight million, eight million fewer people on food stamps. These Hollywood idiots, he's bragging about kicking people off of food stamps. No, they got jobs. They're doing better. What did Biden Obama give us? Are team million more Americans on food stamps? Eight million more in poverty? You don't think this election matters, This will define us. This is America on the brink, as the presidents acquitted today. You know you can't stand when the president announces the lowest level of unemployment for women in the workplace, seventy two percent of all new jobs at it for women. African American poverty declined to the lowest rate ever recorded. Disabled Americans unemployment rate for them, the lowest ever all time low workers without a high school diploma, lowest unemployment rate ever recorded in history, youth unemployment right, record number of young Americans working. This is this is an amazing renaissance for us. They can't stand for any of that. They can't handle it. And then what do they want that we're supposed to give them power back what they did horribly the last eight years they had it. Everyone's four or one k is doing well, thank god. I'm not a big believer in the stock market, so I think, but it's working better than better than what happened in the last eight years. I don't know what else to say, I see small, diminished, petty, insignificant, incoherent arguments, and people that are bitter, irrational and full of hatred. And I hate to tell them Donald Trump won again. I'm not sick of winning. I like Americans doing well. I like my country doing I like feeling good about my country. I want every American, everyone in our family, to do well well. One American family, one glorious nation under God is the President says in his speeches as rallies make America great again, strong again, said last night the best is yet to come. Look at the moments last night with Russian, the Tuskegee airmen and the family of Kayla, when they mentioned that whole story blew me away, one of our heroes coming home reunited right there in Washington last night. Pretty amazing. This is your election. Now you're the ultimate jury. Now, this is your tipping point, our tipping point. This is our crossroads. Frankly, it's America on the brink. I shudder to think what happens if any of these radical extreme socialists win. I really do. We are advancing with unbridled optimism and lifting our citizens of every color, religion, and creed, very very high since my election, we have created seven million new jobs, five million more than government experts projected during the previous administration. The unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century, and very incredibly, the average unemployment rate under my administration is lower than any administration in the history of our country. If we hadn't reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration, the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success. The unemployment rate for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans has reached the lowest levels in history. African American youth unemployment has reached an all time low. African American poverty has declined to the lowest rate ever recorded. The unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost seventy years, and last year, women fill seventy two of all new jobs added. The veterans unemployment rate dropped to a record low. The unemployment rate for disabled Americans has reached an all time low. Here Leonard Skinner, that means only one thing. He is a very simple man who's very complicated all things. Bill O'Reilly dot com Well Bill three year temper tantrum from By the way, I'm not sick a winning. Uh he wins again. Acquitted, vindicated, I would argue, and I see a very diminished, shallow, small, petty, insignificant, incoherent Democratic Party. And this is all they've done for three years. What say, mister O'Reilly, the simple man, Well, number one, I don't think the Democrats are going to get your vote, Hannity, so they can, all right, So that's that's where we'll begin. That's simple enough, all right to shay, mister o'reiley. Okay, So best speech ever by Donald Trump? Amen, and I've heard most of them. Um. The reason he was precise and authoritative, and that's what gets through to the American people that you state your case very clearly and you do it with authority. So that's why I believe that last night's speech was the best. And then he orchestrated it along with Stephen Miller, who I think is a genius. He writes a lot of the president's speeches, but mister Trump does take his pen and contribute, just like Ronald Reagan did and the other way. That is an absolute fact. Yes, everything I tell you, Hannity is a fact. You can never ever a waiver from that. You know, I'm just gonna let you go. Bill, you just keep going. I mean, we got a lot to cover here. So the speech was very, very effective for him, and you could tell that by the tantrum that Nancy Pelosi threw. So I'm not saying this as a partisan. I mean, I'm saying this as an American. So I'm watching this thing and there she is in her little white outfit, honoring this suffrage of women, which I believe it happened in nineteen nineteen or something, but you know, it's okay, let's we'll honor it. And then she's making the usual faces with the tongue on the teeth. Okay, well, I've seen that three times before. But then she rips up the speech afterward. Now that's disrespectful to the whole process, not just Donald Trump. Now she's got a little excuse that she tried to shake the President's hand when he came in. He didn't want to, and I understand why he didn't want to. I mean, it's personal. And he didn't shake Pence's hand either because he didn't want to draw attention to the handshake. But by ripping up the speech, well, but remember if she didn't introduce him, it is my distinct on her privilege and pleasure. Bla. She right, she skipped that. But what did Nancy Pelosie accomplish? So it looked like she was a child. That's what chids do when they don't like something. And she didn't like the speech because she knew it is effective. She knew that all the guests and all the things that the audience of thirty five million saw were moving, that they meant something, and that's why she ripped up her speech. So if you look at it from an objective viewpoint, the president run big in the sense that he advanced his reelection chances dramatically. And you know that by the stock market today on about five hundred points after this nutty impeachment thing is gone. So where do you want to go from here? You know, Look, there's a part of me is like, this is sad what they've done in the country. Bill, you're a smart guy, you're a simple man, and I want you to look at her from this way. Can you name a single thing democrats have done to make us more safe or secure, create a job, and make us more prosperous in the three years since Trump's have been president, what have they done. The only thing the Democrats have done is they allied with Donald Trump to pass the Prison Reform Act. And it's a good act, although and Trump led the and to be honest, though, Trump led the entire way. And it started with Alice Murray Johnson, who was on this radio show yesterday. Yeah, it started with Kanye West. Kanye's probably jumping and Kim Kardashian, both of them. I mean, give them credit, but no, the Democrats are not in a position to really do anything. And here's why. It's not that they don't like America and they don't want to help the folks. It's that they're a divided party. They half of the Democrats understand the lunacy of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and guys like John Podesso, Ron Emmanuel establishment Democrats. They know this is crazy. But here's the problem party. I will argue this point, at least the Democrats elected maybe maybe you definitely have these factions like the Barack Obama's faction of the Democratic Party and the Clinton faction of the Democratic Party. Yeah, they're they're scared to death. I mean, it's like a five alarmed fire was the headline, as a five alarmed fire has begun. Caucus Glitchen Bolden, Trump fueling Democratic anxiety which they have about Bernie in there, trying to cheat Bernie again. Bill. But every Democrat with the exception of what one or two in the House and every Democrat in the Senate, they're going along with us, every candidate supporting the new Green Deal in Medicare for All, because Schumer and Pelosi threatened them, just as Mitch McConnell threatens the Republicans, and this is unhealthy in both parties. They threaten them. They say, look, look, here's the best example. Mitt Romney's through all right, He's done now. He can represent Utah until the next election when they'll vote him out. But he is as an influencer in the Republican Party. He finishing what I said. Bill, He's diminished, he's small and insignificant, and he was incoherent. He actually exonerated quid pro quo, Joe and zero experience Hunter in that speech. Today. Look, Romney despises Donald Trump because Trump put the loser label on Romney. It's personal. But where Romney made his mistake was he said, well, my conscience dictates I have to vote for removal. That's not what you're there to do. You're a senator for your state. You're representing your state, and in any criminal proceeding. This was not a criminal deceding, but the verdict came down. You don't vote on your conscience. You vote on evidence. All right. You may think somebody's guilty. Your conscience says somebody's guilty, but you don't convict. All right, let me advance the ball in evidence, go ahead. Two hundred and seventy two days, the ultimate jury. I call it the American people way in and I would like I look, I can't tell you how it ends. I would like to think that the president's promises captain what he's done in foreign policy and the economy, all that he listed last night, to finds the election, because if it does, he wins by a landslide. But two hundred and seventy two days, the American people will decide and they can shock the world again. Bill, what do you see in two hundred and seventy two days, I mean London, it'll shock the establish five. You know. I think everybody who really pays attention knows that Donald Trump is now the sharp favorite to win because of the economy and because he's becoming more presidential. Now I don't know why that is, but he's becoming more in control of the office. Yeah, he's still tweets. He and he calls Minnie Mike and he wants to have a box that he stands on. Yeah, we got all. But that's just entertainment. See Trump always you know, in your interview with him, it was very entertaining on Super Bowl Sunday, and he always blends that with this. By the way, I was up like thirty whatever percent from the year before, but I didn't beat your record. It's so annoying. Well, my record is pretty strong, seventeen point three for my love. It's so annoying. You can't help yourself. Was giving you a compliment? You just have to rub it in. Go ahead, No, I'm not rubbing, I'm just giving it statum. But it's a different age now, it's a different time now, so it's not you know, there's an asterisk next to me. I was on I was on steroids when I did the interview. That's pretty fun. Let me ask this. Yeah, because you saw the ratings from last night. Yeah, you know I've said your savant on ratings, and I mean that in the best way, like somebody this has a special gift. Thank you and I And at eleven o'clock at night, you saw my ratings last night, you saw the numbers for the Do you want to know why you're doing Okay, I'm trying one. Number one, Trump haters did not watch the speech last night. You saw the ratings for your MSNBC and CNN were abysmal, all right, awful. So Trump haters stayed away, they didn't watch it. They watched Ellen given away catillacs or whatever she's doing. But the Trump people, the people who support the president, you are now the go to program. So of all the programs on network and cable television that deal with news, you're the top choice among those who want to see President Trump reelected. And that's a big crew. I mean we're talking sixty sixty five million people. So that's why you're doing well. You're gonna continue to do well through the election and beyond. And it's it comes down to people trust you when they want to hear about Donald Trump. I am going to ask you only about I do not agree with you that this is a slam dunk, and I'm going to tell you what you know. You're very kind saying why you think my show's doing well? Thank you. I think one of the reasons is Bill, we tell the truth. We are vindicated, especially on everything to do with Buy's abuse, Hillary, dirty doss and more coming. What about the mob and the media now that they've built expectations have been wrong yet again in a massive way. It's chaos over there. And CBS News is a first time I've said this publicly, but I believe it to be true, is now moving to the right because they're losing so much audience and they don't have any shot in the morning and any evening news anymore. That they're actually being nice to Donald Trump now trying to get in some of those viewers who don't hate him. So it's chaos on the network. News front Morning News not what it used to be, and the two very liberal table networks aren't growing at all. I take nothing for granted. I'm always expecting things to go wrong. Two and seventy two days for Republican to win president the presidency. North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, pick Off, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, maybe Minnesota, put in play, Nevada, Arizona, New Hampshire. Not easy, Bill, I never take that for granted. No, the election is not going to be easy, particularly because President Trump might do something questionable. He's been known to do that. But you got to know who the opponent is, and right now there isn't one opponent that could beat him today. Would you agree? I agree? Okay, if it's Joe Biden, and that was my prediction, Pennsylvania gonna be tough because African Americans will support Joe Biden. They will not support Mayor Bloomberg or Pete Butteridge. So the Democratic already's got a big problem. Who to run against a very a guy who is accumulating strength, and that's Donald Trump. These are amazing times we're living in. And the sad thing, as I said, journalism is dead. Bill. You know, imagine you know conservative talk show host that also does news and investigative reports. Hannity gets it right and the entire mob got it wrong. Bill. That's sad. You worked hard. I mean, there is ideology and your presentation. Everyone knows that well on facts. You've vindicated on facts. I've known you for twenty four years and I've never seen you say anything you didn't believe. That is in stark contrast to much of the other media, which are being ordered to say things they don't believe. And I don't know anybody who's seeking the truth these days. There are sad very few people seeking the truth. Bill O'Reilly dot com All things O'Reilly, simple man, Bill O'Reilly, Thank you. Eight hundred nine one sean more news. Next here tonight is a special man beloved by millions of Americans, who just received a Stage four advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet. Rush Limbaugh, thank you for your decades of tireless devotion to our country, and Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and that you inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announced tonight that you will be receiving our country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I will now ask the First Lady of the United States to present you with the honor. Please Wow, one of many incredible moments last night, and I mean it was just an amazing night. I think I've watched a lot of States of the Unions and I've talked to a lot of my friends. Best one I've ever seen, and as we were talking about with Bill O'Reilly, I mean, the ratings were just astronomical. You know, the President honors the Tuskegee Airmen great grandson during the State of the Union. Pelosi doesn't even applaud as ump announces a scholarship for a fourth grade student. Oh no, why would we stand for that. The surprise with the military family, the reuniting sergeant returned from Afghanistan for the State of the Union. I think that's just in a state of shock, and you know, and then then the successes. It is, it was, it was delivered. It is breathtaking, and nobody in the mob ever talks about it. We do. I mean, that's it. But I'll say this, I mean, well, I know that all of us that give opinion on the radio on television, you know, I always like to remember the great pioneers that paved the way. And you know, if you're staring at a forest and there's no trees cut and there's no path and there's no way to do it. And then you know, in the case of Russian national syndication was really not something anybody ever thought would work. And I know they had Larry King on at night screaming at people, what's the question? But short of that, and he started in nineteen eighty eight and now there's you know, it's the number one format in all of radio talk radio. Now not only did he save the AM band, now he's saving the FM band, and it is he cut down every tree, so those of us that come in behind them, it's been a lot easier for us. And it's the free and open exchange of ideas and opinions. It is the ultimate in America's town hall. And he took a lot of heat for it, a lot. And I think, you know, rushed by nature is particularly shy. I mean, Mark Levin pointed that out the other days. It's true, enormously generous, like in ways you would never believe that I can't talk about because he wouldn't want me to talk about it, and I respect that. And he's in the fight now of his life. And the great news, if there's any great news as I believe in God. I believe in the power of healing. I believe in the genius of our scientists, those that do cancer research every day, the medical professionals. This is what they do. My friends, I have two friends that are brain surgeon's. I don't know how I have all these friends that are doctors. It's amazing. And they both say the same thing. This is a very different world. Immunotherapy and all these different ways that they they tackle cancer that didn't exist. You know, I know Russia's raised you know, tens and tens and tens of millions and donated millions and millions of dollars himself. He has his leukemia thought every year. I know that when I lost when I was a young kid, my cousin, he was a New York City police officer's name was Billy Kerwin, and he died from hodgkins and disease. It's almost one hundred percent curable now, and all these childhood leukemias that we were losing children, they're being saved. And we watched Dick Cheney. He once said to me in an interview, I literally had my heart attack, and I literally was like one step ahead of the New technology that kept me alive all of these years. I remember interviewing him once when he had a machine that was being used to keep him alive, that he was portable and until he was able to get a heart transplant. And once he thinks he's funny, he pulls that beat beat beep. I'm like, can you please put that back in? Please? Pretty please? So all of that is, you know, we're praying for him, and we're pulling for him. And I can't think of anybody that deserves this honor that was bestowed on him then more than him. And you know, liberals give a lot of they give a lot of they like to create the impression. Oh they care the most about minorities and women. Well, their policies, it are destructive, literally destructive. They have not done a thing, but every two and four years they called Republicans conservatives, racist, a misogynist, and every other name. And we could just look at their records in big cities that have been run for decades by Democrats. Well, you know, how do you have thirteen public schools in Baltimore? We're not a single kid is proficient in reading a math? How does the violence in Chicago continue? And nobody goes in to save that city and save our national treasure, our fellow citizens, our American family. I don't understand that either. And you look at Obama's record, Biden's record, and then wow, what a turnaround in three years. President ending his speech with the best is yet to come. But for those that are pioneers, and you know, I've defended Bill Maher how many times on this program over the years. I've defended. I've never called for a boycott. I defended you. Remember they were about to fire Joy Reid. I don't agree with Joy Reid's opinions, but I didn't think she should be fired. I thought she should be given a second chance. I didn't call for Don Lemon's firing after the mocky that went on the other night of Trump's supporters. I never do that because people, I can't make you listen to this radio program. I wish I could strap everybody down three hours a day. It's all we ask and or watch TV. I've got to put on the best show we can put on every day. But there are people that have made it their mission to silence conservative voices. But they claim to be for free speeches, like they claimed to be the champions of minorities and women and everybody else, and their policies don't work for anybody. It's amazing. So you know, I got in trouble a lot as a kid my parents. I wasn't turned the television off, and I did have a TV, and I did watch a lot of sports when I was a kid. I love sports, sports, and then politics. And I turned on my radio late at night and I hear my friend Barry Farber, God bless them, speaks thirty some on languages. And I learned about communism and the former Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, you know, a place called Albania. And I remember get a map and one night I went out and got a global whatever I had, and my parents would come and shut that off. I said, okay, they leave here. My dad go back in his room, put it back on a little lower this time. And I was, I just was, I just was fascinated by it. Never thought one day I'd have the ability to ever do this. And the fact that rush forwards that path for the rest of us. It's good for everybody to have freedom of speech, whether you agree or disagree. You know, it's funny, and here's hypocrisy, right. Don Imus was always a controversial figure, always his entire career. Same with Howard Stern, controversial figure. Okay, well if we're gonna say, well Howard Stern said this, well, Hillary Clinton goes on Howard Stern show, and all these politicians they just don't like Russia's opinion. But we conservatives are not trying to shut them down. If you don't like it, turn the dial. I happened to like. I love listening to Ims and I like listening to Stern Guilty is charged. I love their irreverence. I love the fact, you know, Stern could say anything he wants, And I'm like, man, I wish I had that freedom because I know I don't because of a double standard that exists. And by the way, it's not anything I really want to say. I say everything I want to say, but I just know that there are people being paid to monitor every second, every minute, every hour of every show that I do in the hopes that they can financially boycott the show and get me off the air because they don't like my opinions. They don't do that to liberals. I mean, you know how many lacked out. Crazy, insane conspiracy theories have been pushed by these liberal commentators on fake News, CNN and Area fifty one, Roswell, Rachel Maddow's conspiracy TV show and Channel I mean it's I mean it's nuts, but I don't know. I'm like, go ahead say it. I don't like Bill Maher. Who are the people defend ending Bill Maher? When he got fired by ABC, it was people like me and Rush defending him. Pretty amazing, right, And Bill Maher hates me and it attacks me all the time. I just don't care. I will, I would. I want to live in that society where you can just beat the crap out of me. I don't. I just don't. Whatever switch I'm supposed to have that cares is gone. I don't care. I care about my my country, my family, and my friends. That's it and God. And you know, I'm like, I'm like Bill, O'Reilly, I'm a pretty simple man. Let's get to our phones here, all right. I've said I'm not going to talk a lot about it. But Trent and Utah, Rod arquet Land, Crown burger Land, how are you? Thank you? Sir? What's on your mind today? I have a funny idea. Probably's Mitt Romney, your senator. Oh yeah, I talk about a gut punch to all of us out here in the Utah Eastern Utah were about right now? I mean to punch. But uh, you know what I think. I think? Are you talk about Utah? I love Utah. I think I'm gonna tell you something. I don't even feel. I don't feel. It's not even anger that I feel towards Mitt Romney. I really don't. And I got to know him. I think you I fought hard for him to win in twenty twelve. I don't regret it. Unfortunately, people that lose the presidency, they all think they're gonna win, Trent, and then when they lose, they can't believe it. And then you got Al Gore, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and now Mitt Romney. You see what happens. There's something that they all think they're gonna win, and it changes them forever. That's my take. I don't I don't feel really angry easy. I feel a little disappointment. But you know what was crazy and you gotta speak in you gotta speak into the mike. I say, let me just make this point. You know when they interviewed h I mean he said he was going to vote against the president or to impeach him. What did he say? He said, he wait and consulted with his family. Well that's nine, that's fine and Danny, but how about consulting with the people in Utah who you represent. And furthermore, my last point is he's voting not on the evidence. He's voting on the fact that you didn't bring in additional witnesses. You know it's that And he's remember abuse of power? What does that mean? I found it interesting that he totally exonerates quid pro quo Joe and zero experience. Hunter, Well, he used his power. Well what's what is shaking down a country with a billion taxpayer dollars demanding a prosecutor in Ukraine get fired so his son can continue to make millions. We've identified all the statutes here on this program. So I just I get it. He hates Donald Trump, and I get I think what he hates even more is that he lost. I've watched this movie before. I've seen it many times. I've owned thirty one years on radio and when I since when I started, and twenty four years at Fox news. I am telling you, I see it all the time. You ask people, you know, politicians, they're running, Sean last, how are the polls? We have a down ten, But I'm telling you, the crowds are huge. It's the polls are totally wrong. Occasionally that's true. In most instances, I'm looking at them and I'm watching in my own observations and years of doing this, and I'm like, they're living in the nile. They're never gonna win. It's a plus ten Democratic district and it's you know, it's listen, I understand people put their heart and soul into something. It doesn't work out the way they want. It's painful. All right, let me get one more quick call and while we have time. MJ Florida, MJ. How are you hey? Semperfy Sean, how are you doing hey? Smper fidelis Marine? How are you all right? Doing great? So you just mentioned statute, so I know that was a lot of stuff you and Greg Jarrett and stuff we're doing. Let's talk about the seriousness of Nancy Pelosi destroying government documents. That was a record that she destroyed, and all we gotta do is under eighteen US Code two O seven one. She mutilated that document and she needs to be removed from office or at least fine. Look, you know what. To me, it's everything thing. It was the perfect culmination of where we ended up today, and that is with an acquitted president and a petty Democratic Party that has done nothing but rage out of control and the temper tantrum that is encapsulated in what we saw at the end of the State of the Union last night. They have done nothing for him. If Trump would have toured the article's impeachment, he would have been impeached for that. Again. Look, I'm telling everybody, if he no, I'm not exaggerating, this is not hyperbole. If he cures cancer, they're going, well, they'll impeach him procuring cancer. Um, good call, simplify m Jay, Glad you called. Glad you're out there. What a day this has been. What a comparison from last night? Success, American greatness, American exceptionalism, celebrating the American success story, the dream is back. Senator Mitch McConnell, Congressman Kevin McCarthy, Trey Gaudy, Alan Dershowitz, Loe Gomert, Kim Strassell, Alice Marie Johnson, tonight, my favorite most inspirational figure in the world, Larry Elder and much more. Nineties turn say you DVR Hannity on the Fox News Channel. I'm not sick of winning two hundred and seventy two days and you are the ultimate jury. See you tonight at nine. Back here tomorrow. Thank you for being with us.
