You got out five of your home. You f yeah, the hand from police rare o we have you know we are easily bad night. You know where you see that night? Yes? Or no? Yester no, Watch out for the car, Watch over the car, Watch over the car. Hey everyone, Uh, this is Brian kill me. He says, lots of weird uh kind of reaches the stuff on the news on this is that the closest personal advisor to Donald Trump, the Boxing Friend's host, Brian kill me. If you have anything you want Donald Trump to say or do, tell this guy because he's the only person in America that Donald Trump listens to. Brian, you get that career criminal trader, go to hell, Gray, stop grabbing. Okay, there we go. That goes for Trump, and you think about what you're doing. Think about what you're doing. Think about it all right, News round Up, Information Overload Our Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and ninety four one. Shaun as a toll free telephone number. There was the mob outside of Tucker Carlson's house two days ago. Sadly, his wife was in there hiding in a pantry. They used vandalism on his car in front of his house. They tried to bust the front door open. They damaged that, and there we will fight. We know where you sleep at night, chanting. They also chanted mail bomb, all of whom should be arrested. Now, the amazing thing about this is we've been discussing and chronicling and watching the Rise of the Mob, if you will, on a frequent basis. And let's see. We see Secretary Nielsen run out of a restaurant. Sarah Sanders with their kids run out of a restaurant. Then they run out of another restaurant. Pam Bandi literally run out of a movie theater. You've got Ted Cruz, his wife Heidie. They're run out of a restaurant. Poor Mitch McConnell. Four times it's happened to him. It's happened in airports. What two weekends ago, it happened in a restaurant. He's sitting there with his wife, Elaine Chow. Some guy comes up, boom, banging on their table, taking the food on their table, throwing it out the door, screaming at the top of his lungs. And I keep saying, something horrible's gonna happen here. And the amazing thing it only took the mail bomber to liberals to wake people up, and they say, wow, this has got to be because it's a Trump supporter. Now, all of a sudden they were paying attention to it. Meanwhile, we have Maxie Waters on tape saying, go, we want you to create a crowd and follow them cabinet members into department stores and gas stations and grocery stores, and you tell them they're not wanted anywhere anymore. And of course Eric Holder kicked them, and Hillary Clinton says we can't be civil with them, and all the other comments Corey Booker get in their face. It's a comment that he got from Obama, who used about me back in the day. Now, the other tape that you heard was another colleague of mine, co host of Fox and Friends, Brian Kilmeade. And I think for a good forty minutes, these two guys were stalking him, following him onto the subway, calling him out and just making your life miserable. Did they ever put their hands on you at all? No? I mean they weren't it within my reach, Sean. And there is a as I'm listening to all these tapes in the and the and the common Denomina between them. Everybody involved knows you. Maybe you're the problem. You're gonna blame me is at it? Well you know everybody as well too, But um no, the thing is touched me. They were out of reaching my main focus. And you were the first to call. By the way, I just see your listeners know with all you have going on, that just is something else you shows who you are your friend first, But I really am. I watched it, but first of all, you handled it with a lot of dignity. And I told you when I called you, I said, um, you did it the right way. You never you never took the bait. You didn't get into an argument with him. You didn't. You just handled it the way. The only mistake I think you made was you decided to go into the subway. When you go into the subway, you're trapped. You know, God forbid that car stopped and you're there for three hours with those guys in your face. I don't know if that would have ended well. And then you get out of the subway and then you go buy like a latte or something at a coffee store. I felt like, what do exactly? But I vote a smoothie. Please be actual Sean Oh, I'm sorry. I don't want to be fake news like CNN. Yeah, I mean basically, I just said, after a while, there are two cameras. If you grab one guy, the other guy's rolling on it. And I just said after a while, And I got two calls during the time, like I can't miss my daughter's game she plays at four fifteen. I got to get in three o'clock train. And I'm not not going to take a call because two lunatics. I don't like the fact that Donald Trump calls our show and likes our network. You know, I think that. Look to me, I think the most important thing is is how we handle them. But it's a bigger issue here is this is now the new tactic of the left. And while there were people in fairness, I don't know if anybody came to your defense on the left and said they shouldn't do this to you. Did anyone speak out on your behalf that you know of? Uh? You know, in terms of the left, there's a lot of people going on social media and did stuff. I don't think anything really stood out. Anybody in the media stick up for you that you know of besides yours. Truly a fellow Fox people. You know, Megan came out, Tucker came out right away, you know the people I know. I didn't see anybody that agreed. In fact, he got so bad for them within two days they were forced to pull it down. I don't know that. And it was hard. Last night when I was hosting Tucker, they said, Brian, do you have any video when you're harassed? When we show it, I go, yeah. They had a hard time pulling it up because it got taken down everywhere, because it got blowback, because there's nothing good about it. You know, it's something else. It was common. Not one person in that video changed anything they're doing. You think Pam Bondi stopped, or Mitch McConnell stopped, or Tucker Carson's going to stop having the open he has or the show that he does. You think I'm doing it. I'm still taking the train in subway. Nothing that's altering in my life. The problem is, at some point this is gonna blow. And now we've got a situation. I don't know if you've been paying attention. This is a break the glass moment that we all knew was coming, and now you have NBC's Rachel Maddow organizing these protesters because they didn't like the Jeff Sessions resigned. And the problem is showing the Jeff Sessions doesn't have eight thousand fans in well, the no, they were tweeting it out. The resistance is tweeting it out now. The only time before the election, they didn't care about Secretary Niel Sin, Sarah Sanders, Pam BONDI, nobody. You couldn't even call it a mob on fake news CNN. And then we had the mail bombing issue, and I immediately spoke out about it. I know you spoke out about it immediately. If you want to be a conservative, you're a fan of this program, Leave everybody alone. We have a constitutional republic. You win some elections, you lose some. I know they're bitter at Tuesday's results. That's not our fault. Then they hate Donald Trump and all things Trump and anybody that even likes Donald Trump and anybody that's even a conservative. But the point here is is then they decided to get in. Then they tried to link the Synago shooting to Donald Trump, when the shooter actually hated Trump because Trump was so pro Israel. So they're only they're very selective in their outrage, although a few did mention about Tucker Carlson. Look, a CNN guy was getting harassed. It was on media yesterday and I gave him a call. He said, I hope you're right. I've been through this myself. It's not fun. It's difficult to be hard on your family. Hang in there, make sure you always reported to the police. Well, I got a couple of things. See be a synagogue thing for Donald Trump and so unjust that stuff. For some reason, people think that Donald Trump was tangentially responsible for, which is insane. Number two is I fear for what's going to happen next in Florida because this is so contentious. You saw Rick Scott. I never seen him as angry as he was on your show last night and in that press conference prior. And I think he knows he's being screwed. He went from thirty thousand up to fifteen thousand up, and Broward County's up to no good. People aren't going to be calm about this. They don't want to admit they lost. Stacey Abrams doesn't want to match you lost in Georgia. And you see what Bernie Sanders is saying that white people have trouble fight we're voting for black people. I mean, what the hell is going on? Well, you're talking about since election day now, they're supposed to by law in Florida, report within thirty minutes after the polls closed. I mean, it's that's that Florida law requires that your report early voting votes by mail within thirty minutes. Now, since Tuesday, they have found seventy eight thousand votes in Broward County and fifteen thousand votes in Palm Beach. Every other county in Florida got it right. Every other county in Florida obeyed the law. The woman involved in this is has a history of playing these games and shunning the law, the state law, on our national voting laws. And why the police have not gone in there and shut that operation down a meet imediately, because whatever's going on, they're not letting the people that are legally allowed on each political side of the aisle. They're only letting Mark Elios apparently in there, who's Hillary Clinton's attorney. That's the guy that funneled the money at the Perkins Cooie. Yeah, it's unbelievable the way everything comes full circle It's like a Signteled episode, only there's no comedy, no laugh track, There's only consequences. I hate to tell you you're saying that things, you crack head. You're talking about the governor of the state. If this guy can't get justice for his own election in his own state, what prayer do we have? When you saw Marco Rubio so keyed off, you know there's something underhanded going on. And I'm going to be doing Tucker again tonight, and that's probably going to be the lead story again tonight about what's going on in Florida. And listen, I was going to be off tonight, but this is too important. This election could be gone by the weekend. So I'll be in tonight too, right after you do Tucker, So I'll see you. Then, last question, what you saw Jim Acosta at the press conferences? The White House took back his credentials. I think the right decision. He wasn't asking a question, he wanted a debate, he walk a fight, he wanted his moment. And if you or I wherever that road to Barack Obama or Bill Clinton, we'd be excoriated by our own people, by my own company, Fox News if I was ever in there or head Henry was in there during Barack Obama's the time most of the time. If he treated President Obama like that, he would have got ripped by his own company. So that's the difference. And also the word is other reporters are manor at Jim Accosta then the president because he asked four or five questions. Don't they have a beat? Don't they have to cut a story? Don't there questions matter? You're supposed to care about your colleagues. Instead you see a bunch of grandstanding. I can't I couldn't believe what he tried to pull off. However, I don't know about the tactic opponent's credentials. That story was buried after Jeff Sessions got fired. It now lives another day and another day, and he gets to do more shows and Cobet and John Oliver, and he looks like a martyr. I don't know if any message is sent when he goes back. He said, it's justice flamboyant and justice important. So you know, I don't know about the strategy right off. And you know, I know prison Trump thrives on this stuff. He doesn't care about it. But and I think you know with who he was talking to. I wouldn't talk to an A don't like that. Let home the President United States like that? So all right, well, listen, Brian killed Meade. Every Brian killed Mead hosts everything Brian killed me? Does Brian kill Mead? Fox and Friends with Doocey and Ainsley, And then you go to do radio for three hours and then you usually do out Numbered, and then you usually do the Five, and then you usually do Tucker and then you complain you're tired when you have to get up six hours later. I think you're whining. I think you whined a little too much. But his book is out in paperback, Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans. Congrats on the book. I know it did really well, and we appreciate you taking the time Brian kill me sean anity. It's now number three in the best seller list, So I believe it, all right, Brian, appreciate it. There's so many reasons to be a grateful nation, and in large part we have our military and our veterans to thank for our berties and freedom. National Wreaths across America Day is Saturday, December fifteenth, You can join in the mission to remember our fallen heroes, on of those who currently serve in their families, and teach younger generations the value of freedom.

All right, we got a minute here, We're gotta take a call. We'll go to Florida where all the Shenanigans are going on data in Florida, Danta. How are you glad you called? Thank you, Sean Hannity, Thank you so much for letting us have a voice out there than you. And the lady that takes care of the phone call, she is, Oh, please give her a hug, she's so sweet. But anyway, my comment is the main one is I'm jim a castle he needs. I'm glad they did take his credentials away, but they need to do it permanent. This man has issues and I'm not seeing it to be mean to. If I seen it on your show, I would call it out. But he has issues and he's after the president and it's not safe for him to be one on one like that with the president. I'm really surprised that they didn't have security in there too, right, the security all over the room. I mean, the worst part is is how many times does the president have to tell somebody to please sit down, please sit down? Please can you stop? We're done, We're not doing And the fact that there's a level of arrogance and just you know, this narcissistic where right, you're wrong. Not only are you wrong, you see, they're hatred of him is actually a hatred of we the people and our choices. The reason the media hasn't talked about the election this week after the election is because they didn't get what they wanted. Okay, Yeah, Democrats won the House by like the slimmest margin. They will have the slimmest majority since nineteen forty five. The President who did campaign for all these Senate candidates in all of these states, he got spectacular wins and they know it. So they're mad at him. But really they're mad at us for not agreeing with them, and is a contempt towards us that we don't see him the way they do and they have a superiority and they don't seem to care that what they support in terms of legislation is they proven failure. So they're not really caring about we the people either, and that should be more troublesome than anything. But I gotta run data, Thank you, all right, we'll come back. Why open phones, final half hour of the program. I was also going to check out with my buddy from Black Rifle Coffee. Veterans Day coming up and much much more straight ahead Sean Hannity Show.

That's why there's the Sean Hannity Show. All right, twenty five now until the top of the hour. All right, we're gonna meet some great vets and that are doing amazing things since they have gotten back from serving their country in so many different ways and are helping vets. But it's been a long week and it's gonna be a rough night too. We're doing Hannity tonight at nine. A lotted on this, you know, all the shenanigans. They're not obeying the law in Florida. The two most liberal Democratic counties refused to abide by the laws that every other county abides by. We'll go through this in all detail tonight at nine, and we better be careful because they're up to no good that we know. All right, But first, well, it didn't turn out to be the blue wave the left wanted, the media wanted. They're angry, they're frustrated, they're lashing out as they always do. It's only going to get worse, and another victory for Trump and for the American people. The blue wave became a little trickle, a little tiny, itsy bitsy trickle. They're not 'm happy about it anyway. Put your party light on a time for our Friday Zach Brown concert series. Let's hit it. Girls like you are taking baby. I've been looking for someone like you to save it. That's too easy to be so damned complicated. Take your time and now I'm be awaiting. Keep me in mind somewhere down the road and my getting only I got a piece of how in the country side they back and smell the sun, warm up the Georgia Poe be so good, taking it easy? Why would I ever leave? Was I know? I got some good friend that live down street, got a girl and mama her own time here in a small time. Think God for my life.

Will that put you in a great mood? On a on a Friday. We need that all right. By the way, Vet's Day is Sunday, It's the eleventh, and we celebrated a lot of you will be off on Monday of a long weekend. I don't think I will be off. I'm working tonight on Hannity. I will be there at nine pm. Obviously with all of these Shenanigans, laws being broken all over the place, and Broward and Palm Beach and in Florida, And how do you go from sixty thousand votes to fifteen thousand? Is there not one Republican vote that they're finding? Only find Democratic votes? Um, First, I want to introduce you. They're not only an advertiser in this program. I'm friends with these guys. Evan Hayper's with us. He's the CEO of Black Riflecoffee dot com slash Hannity. Not only is it the best coffee company, as I tell you in these ads, it really is. You have every single level of strength and flavor that you would ever want. The story behind how they built this company is amazing. They hire vets, they hire first responders, they donate to vets, they donate to first responders, and on this Veterans Day, weekend. I wanted as just say hey, thank you Evan, welcome back to the program and be you know what, why support these liberal companies that don't share our values. It's nuts. Your company's grown by leaps and bounds well first and formulist. Thank you Sean for having us back. Definitely, I can't thank you enough. And it's wonderful to hear your voice and be on the show again. So Black Rifle Coffee we're growing recent bounds. We opened up a new roasting facility just outside of Nashville in Coffee County. One of the big reasons was because it's Coffee County and because we had a high number of veteran and civil service members out there that we could employ. We've got a new facility in San Antonio, Texas, so we expanded to Military Town, USA, and we still got a roaster out in Utah. So we're Utah, Tennessee and San Antonio and soon we're gonna have Black Rifle coffees for people to walk in and drink a cup of coffee in both the Tennessee and Texas. So we're expanding and moving fast. Oh that's pretty amazing. I mean, is this something that's going to maybe build into Black Rifle Coffee everywhere we used to see a Starbucks. I would love that. I tell you what, that's the plan, Sean, That's that's exactly what we want to do, is we want to What I tell people is we want to give them the opportunity to vote with their dollar and vote for the companies that support what they believe in. And it's in our mission statement. You know, we liked, we loved to serve coffee and content to people that love America. We're unashamed in our service and our pride and country. And I think that there are a lot of businesses out there that really they get out there and they don't like America at the end of the day, you know. And that's the difference between Black Rifle Coffee and them is we're miles apart typically on the political spectrum. And two, we really do put our money where our mouth is. It's what I say is it's not pr it's who we are, so we get out. We've got above a fifty percent higher rate for veterans. We just launched a new initiative with the Pentagon Federal Credit Union to help fund veteran entrepreneurs. So the Veteran Entrepreneur Investment Program where we are marked two hundred thousand dollars to be divvied out for veterans in about two or twenty thousand to fifty thousand dollars investment opportunities for them. We're trying to put our money where our mouth is every day, protect the community, create opportunities for those that have served, and promote America. The thing is, I love how this company was started too, because you had guys overseas and they couldn't get a good cup of coffee, and didn't they didn't you all start ordering different blends coffee beans that sound like lend Of for a second coffee, coffee beans, and then you made you came up with your own blend. You did it yourselves. I mean, that's the amazing. And you did it out of a need and a desire for the best cup of coffee, which I love every day and I can't live without. Exactly right, I started roasting coffee because I couldn't get a great cup of coffee. And I was deploying back and forth to Iraq at the time, and I was roasting coffee at home to take big duffle bags of coffee overseas with me to not only drink, but then give to the guys that I was working with, and it caught on to the point where I was giving away a lot of coffee to my friends and family and a lot of people asking well, where did you come up with the name black Rifle Coffee. I had a little one pound roaster on the back tailgate of my pickup while I was working for the CIA at the time, and I had my service rifle next to it, which was a black black rifle and a little one pound roaster, and I was roasting coffee for everybody in the course that I was teaching. One of the guys came up and was like, man, you should have a coffee company, and I said, yeah, I could call it, you know, Black Rifle Coffee Company, but it's it's quite literally in respect to our service rifle. It's a piece of life saving equipment that protected me and the other founders of the company for over a decade where we served and we should be proud of that. Yeah. Well, I think the fact that you hire vets first responders, you created the best product on the market, that always helps that you give back so much to vets and first responders and those causes is amazing. Thanks for being a part of the show. Look it's Black Rifle Coffee dot Com slash Hannity. You get a first fifteen percent discount. You guys do have the coolest videos of anybody on the web. But I've got to warn you they're rate it are maybe yeah, some of them. Show me one that's not all right, my friend say hi to everybody for me. Eight hundred nine for one. Shan is a number. Paul of vellows with us too. He's the chief Master Sergeant, is the founder executive director of Operation Restored Warrior, and he's here to talk about a need for awareness of our vets that are coming home. They're over two hundred and fifty thousand facing PTSD and the suicide rate among vets coming back has been astronomical. Off the hook, I can't tell you how many times that I would hear from anybody or somebody even an acquaintance of somebody, and they say that somebody's struggling, they're they're about to kill themselves. And I usually call my friend Oliver North and Ali gets on the phone, will spend hours and hours with people. We work to find a program that works for them. And uh. Anyway, Master Sergeant Chief Master Sergeant Paul Lavelle, thank you, sir for being with us. Hi Sean, thanks for having me. Well tell me exactly what look what you guys are doing and how you helping these guys out. I mean, the bottom line the answers, we've over deployed them. It's just a fact. Yes, yes, yeah. Our organization, Operation Restored Warrior, we've been we've been around now for ten years and we've helped hundreds and hundreds of veterans coming back from combat to address the issues of combat stress uh, post traumatic stress uh uh, and we do it in five days. We deal with some of the most stressed out guys that have suicide ideation and we addressed this in a five day program that I developed and we've got literally we every single warrior who comes through our program, doesn't matter whether you or any one, or you're a three star general, which we've had all of those guys come through. They get restoration in the five day program. Um, that's a pretty amazing thing. Now, do you have enough space, do you have enough people involved in this to for the demand that is out there, which is greater than we ever thought it could be because I know we I know the VA is changing, and I know there have been changes, and I know there are a lot of private organizations, you know, rivers for recovery, building homes for heroes, the Freedom Alliance. There's a ton of great, great groups out there. But as everybody getting the help they need, no, no, they're they're not. I mean the number is overwhelming. We have been doing this for ten years and we don't even have our own home. We through the blessing of dear friends and allies, we use various properties around the country and we've got a waiting list of guys getting in effect. What we did, Sean is we took the five day program. Literally had been praying about this, like how do we scale what we're doing so that we can bring this twenty two plus a day of suicides down to zero? And I think we found the answer. And earlier this year I started working with my team on taking our five day and contesting it to a two day and engaging our alumni, and we have over a thousand alumni now around the country from all the various services that have been deployed in multiple operations and to scale this out there so that we can start to address in their communities because we have we have these groups all over the United States now and to be able to address this problem of twenty two plus a day. And I mean this is this is not going away. It's been It just keeps ramping because of the over deployment. We do we have enough, there is the information to get the help out there to all these guys. I mean, really, the Armed Services needs to be sending every single guy that's served, especially these multiple deployments. They've got to be communicating with them and tell them, hey, if you ever need help, this is what you do. If you ever need help. They've got to know that that help is out there, because if they reach out, they're going to get the help. I've met people that have gone through programs and they come back on the other side different people, and they're able to you know, it's hard to ask people to go to war, go into war zone and it triggers, you know, a defense mechanism and an adrenaline rush and an energy that you're not going to experience back in real life. You come home and it's like that just doesn't shut off automatically. You know, you don't have an on off switch. Some people maybe have better coping mechanisms than others. This isn't about weakness. It's about their warriors. And now you're asking them to, you know, to just shut that side of them off. It's a hard thing to do. It absolutely is. And we've had some of the most remarkable warriors of this nation has ever produced come through our program. Sean, and a lot of the guys they don't want to ask for help, you know, because so much of what they've been asked to do. They are the help, right they don't, you don't they don't go in you know, they're the guys that have to do these operations, so they don't ask for help. And you know, we still have a stigma out there that they think that that's a weakness. And the focus of our program, our program, and one of the reasons it's so successful is that there's a component component, not only in the emotional physiologic side, but there's a there's a spiritual component. We're both spiritual and physical and physical, and if you don't address one without the other, then you're going to have an incomplete healing and so we address the spiritual component because you know, just look look at history. Look biblically, right, the progenitor of all warfare is spiritual and it gets manifested into the kinetic. If you don't address the spiritual issues that's assaulting our men and women, then you're not going to get a complete healing. You're just going to get anesthetizing. You're going to get partial healing, but it's not going to be complete. And we have found that by addressing those issues, these folks are getting restored. Operation Restored Warrior dot org is your website. Operation Restored warrior dot org. Paul, thank you for being with us. I hope people can help look your organization out. We'll put it up on Hannity dot com. All right, Hannity tonight, nine Eastern Fox. Yeah, it's happening again in Florida and laws broken left and right, and still nobody has shut down this corrupt operation. It's unbelievable. Anyway, we'll have all the details tonight. Always honoring our servicemen and servicewomen and standing up for liberty every day, Sean Hannity, there's so many reasons to be a grateful nation and in large part, we have our military and our veterans to thank for our liberties and freedom.

Right News round up information overload hours, Sean Hannity Show eight hundred nine for one, Shawn, if you want to be a part of the program. You know, I remember on this Veterans Day, by father didn't really want to talk about it much. It was it was always strange. He spent four years fighting World War Two in the Pacific. He just didn't want to talk about it a whole lot. So I'd have to like drag, tell me about this, dad. And he had his navy knife, he served in the US Navy, and I was always asking, always grabbing it. He was like grabbing it out of my hands, of course, because you know, you gotta be careful. And there weren't days i'd kind of opened them up a little bit and he'd start talking about it. And four years of your life in the Pacific with like very little downtime. And that's the story of so many vets on this Veteran's Day. And you think of those vets that gave the ultimate sacrifice. You think of all of those people that died slamming the beaches of Normandy. You know, in every war this country has had, and the bravery, the valor, the love of country, sacrifice, patriotism, it is all the freedoms we have as they paid the ultimate price. Some come home disfigured, losing arms, legs both. I've met many of these people over the years. They are just remarkable. The President spoke earlier about this about Veterans Day, and here's some of his remarks. Now, this day, in the year nineteen eighteen, church bells rang, families embraced, and celebrations, as you know, filled the streets like never before in towns throughout Europe and the United States. But victory had come at a terrible cost. Among the Allied forces, more than one million French soldiers and one hundred and sixteen thousand American service members had been killed by the war's end. Millions more were wounded. Countless would come home bearing the lasting scars of trench warfare and the grizzly horrors of chemical weapons. During the final battle of the war, over twenty six thousand Americans lost their lives and more than ninety five thousand were wounded. It was the single deadliest battle in United States history. Think of the twenty six thousand Americans lost their lives in a battle. Here on the revered grounds of Suren American Cemetery lie more than one thousand, five hundred US service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the First World War. Among those buried here are legendary Marines who fought in the Battle of Bellawood. In that treacherous forest and the surrounding fields, American Marine soldiers and Allied forces fought, and they fought through hell to turn the tide of the war. And that's what they did. They turned the tide of the war. It was in that battle that our marines earned the nickname devil Dogs, arising from the German description of their ferocious fighting spirit. And McCrone presented an oak sapling from Bellowood as a gift to our nation and enduring reminder of our friendship sealed in battle. We fought well together. You could not fight better than we fought together. Sergeant Eugene Ware from Hazelton, Pennsylvania, was one of the Marines that Bellowood. Eugene raced straight into a barrage of enemy fire like no one has ever seen before to bandage his friends wounds and carry him back to safety. Months later, Eugene was mortally wounded. He passed away one day after Christmas. His mother would come right here to mourn by the grave or her precious son. She loved him so much. She was one of the thousands of American moms and dads whose beloved children and found their final resting place on the hillside of Surin. Each of these marble crosses and stars of David marks the life of an American warrior. Great great warriors they are who gave everything for family, country, God, and freedom. The American and French patriots of World War One embody the timeless virtues of our two republics, honor and courage, strength and valor, love and loyalty, grace and glory. It is our duty to preserve the civilization they defended, and to protect the peace they so nobly gave their lives to secure one century ago. It is now my great honor to present Major General William Matts with an American flag as a symbol of our nation's gratitude to the American Battle monuments. The Commission has done such an incredible job in general, we very much appreciate it. Today we renew our sacred obligation to memorialize our fallen heroes on the soil where they rest for all of eternity. Thank you very much, and General, this is a great honor thank you very much, each and every one of them a hero, each and every one deserving of our thanks and our appreciation. And I know the vast majority of Americans will never ever serve in the military. They just we have an all volunteer army. But I will tell you unless there's a draft, obviously, and all these people, like during World War Two, my father signed up, just like everybody wanted to sign up. Everybody was ready to fight at that point, especially after Pearl Harbor, and it is a sacrifice. I want to get in to this, what's going on. There's a huge Axios article out today, and we'd better start paying attention to this because on so many different levels, this is going to be the future. A headline on foxnews dot com House Democrats preparing a subpoena canon for Trump related probes. What is the one thing I've been telling you that the Democrats during the election they didn't want to do. Democrats never wanted to tell you what their real agenda was all about. And I kept saying, what did they tell Maxie Waters. Maxine says, they keep telling me not to say it, but I'm gonna say it anyway. In Peach forty five, no, just just don't say anything. And then of course they just said we're gonna help with healthcare. That became the final two week talking point. Look, Democrats are at each other's throats just so you know, because they're apoplectic about the election results and the fact that Trump didn't just win, he defied all of the odds and went out and came pain and assuming Florida's in the mix, picked up these Senate seats. Remember Obama lost six Senate seats and sixty three House seats in twenty ten. In ninety four, Bill Clinton lost eight Senate seats and fifty two House seats and that was his first mid term election. You know, comparatively, to think that Trump picked up all these Senate seats we now know is important because as the Democrats, part of what their plan is, they want to mobilize their hit list. They didn't want to talk about immigration, they didn't want to talk about specifics, they didn't want to remind you this healthcare preexisting conditions. That was pretty much the only point that they were willing to make and stop Trump and the resistance didn't go out in the numbers they want, and it is infuriating to some of these Democrats that it all went down this way. By the way, it's hilarious watching Hillary flirting with the idea of running again, which I think is amazing. But when you look at what they're what they're doing here, what they want to do, and what they're planning on doing, you know, it's one thing after another. They avoided this subject during the campaign. Here are the headlines that I just picked up today. Democrats to probe Trump's treatment of CNN, fake News, Amazon, Washington Post, and a triple threaded abuse of power inquiries. Top Democrat this will be Nadler, I assume, says that he will investigate whether the White House interfered in the FBI's Kavanaugh probe. Democrats Nancy Pelosi saying we don't need Muller indictment to impeach Trump. We can do it anyway. They weren't saying any of this before the election. You know. Byron Yorke has a piece out as Dems consider impeaching Trump. GOP leaders regret pursuing Clinton. Maybe they did because it ended up backfiring on them. But Adam Schiff saying Democrats plan to probe if Trump used power to punish cn on Washington Post Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, well, as it relates to Muller and and this new acting ag Whittaker's appointment does violence to the Constitution. Do you notice all of this not one thing, not one agenda item that is going to help the continue to continue the progress that we've made. Now, some of you did you know it? Hear my warnings and the warnings of others. Some of you you should feel guilty if you didn't get out and vote. We're lucky it came out as good as it did. We really are. You know, you got the House Democrats that will be running the show. Look at you know, it's like a who's who. Nita Lowey eighty one years old, She's going to be at the Appropriations Committee. Adam Schiff great, he's taken over for Devin Newness as the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Elijah Cummings Oversight and Government Reform Committee. And you know they're gonna be subpoena in Trump every second, every minute of every day. Gerald Nadler seventy one. I mean, this is like a who's who a people that have been around forever. And Maxie waters By the way, I didn't know she was eighty years old. But anyway, she's expected to chair the Committee of Oversight. She's already said we're gonna do to you what you did to us, whatever that means, because she's obviously looking over Wall Street, etc. And all of the most liberal, these single most liberal Democrats will be running these committees. Frankly, there are no moderates left in the Democratic Party. They just aren't there. You have a top House Democrat on the Amtrak a seller train, Gerald Nadler overheard discussing Kavanaugh's impeachment and all the investigations into Trump and just crazy. So this is what their future is going to be as the days, weeks, months go forward. This is what they are going to do. Now I'm going to predict something here. They're gonna overreach. They're gonna misinterpret the election results. Although they are kind of battling big time amongst themselves about they are as a as a party. You know, it's their blue wave became a ripple and they didn't expect the red wave for the Senate, and you know, all right, so they picked up a couple of governorships and maybe their state gains mean what they're going to go for more gun control. That means they'll lose the next election, and marijuana is going to be legal in most states. That's probably what happens. The Hill had a great article about how Democrats face a tough twenty twenty battle after blowing the chance at the blue wave. And I don't know how the Democrats are reacting to this, but the Wall Street Journal piece on Hillary Clinton is just hilarious to me. It says Hillary will run again. That's the headline, reinventing herself as a liberal fire brand. Clinton will easily capture the twenty twenty nomination. I'm not so sure that's the case, but if you know that's what they think they need to do, that's the person they want. I guess more power two of them. You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show. When news breaks, you get the inside story that no one else has and the behind the scenes chattered that the mainstream media doesn't even know about. This is the Sean Hannity Show. At this point, the gunman's reloading. There's probably been fifty or sixty shots. It we can't really seem that well, but my gut feeling was I've got to stay. I've got to decide to stay or run. And at this point, I think he's advancing towards us. People are moving behind different buildings. There are most everybody's closer to the gunman than I am. I'm at a distant point. But the staffer that made it over the fence, we were trying to decide to stay or go. And at this point, you know, the Capitol Police began returning fire. I do believe that without the Capitol Hill Police, it would have been a massacre, all right. That was the day you may remember the terrible shooting in the ball field where Congressman Steve Scalise nearly lost his life that day and Rampaul and so many others, Mo Brooks and many others calling in telling us what had happened. And I knew behind the scenes that day from friends of mine that it was far worse than was originally reported. As Steve Scalise was going through multiple transfusions literally, as life hanging in the balance, we saw courage under fire. That is so inspiring when you watch these two Capitol Police officers walk literally making themselves an open target, going up against a sniper who was hidden, camouflaged and behind a fence, etc. And they've got pistols and they're going up against the long rifle. It is there's no competition. They almost it could have ended in a catastrophe. But you see such incredible courage and heroism among our brave men and women in law enforcements. Sometimes it just is so inspiring. Anyway, Steve Scleeze is with us. He's actually written a new book about it. It's back in the game and the Majority Whip's remarkable Fight for his Life is out tomorrow and I wanted to talk to him a little bit about this, ask him about his thoughts on what's going on in Florida and with the endless investigation. Now now it's all being revealed, what the Democrats are going to do? Congressman, how are you doing? Last time I saw you, you're still struggling. You are walking around you with support obviously, and you said you had a hard time with one of your legs and your foot that you didn't feel it is if I remember correctly when I saw you, Yeah, sean first grade to be back with your happy veteran state to you and am yea yeah, my God, Thanks for those men and women who sacrifice, and you talked about the brave Capitol Police officers David Bailey and Crystal Griner who risked their lives to save us. I wouldn't be here today without all of those those heroes and the miracles, true miracles from God that helped me get through the worst times. And you know, I'm still doing two days a week of physical therapy, but definitely through the worst of it by far, and uh feeling great. Man back to work and just uh, you know, my my left leg has the most time. It's where the bullet went in, and my left foot still don't have any feeling in that. But I was able to get down from two crutches now down to one crutch and ultimately my next goals to be able to walk without crutches again. How do you how do you walk when you can't How do you walk when you can't feel your foot? I mean I have a brace on my left foot right you know, may have to live with that, but that's okay. I can you know, I'll I won't be able to run around as much, but I can do all the other things that matter. It was amazing one year later. It was the first play of the game and it was one of the best plays ever when you were playing second base and you got the guy out. I mean, that was that was that was really special to watch. Um. I just you know, the amazing thing is all of our vets. You know, we're talking about what today is and you know what observator, we're observing Veterans Day, and I'm thinking about all these guys that come back from war wounded like you or worse. I know, I've ben to Walter Reed, I've been to Bethesda. I've met many, many, many of these people over the years building homes for heroes. They're all good friends of mine and they come and watch the TV show. And these guys for the rest of their lives, they're either disfigured, they're blind, they've lost arms, they've lost legs, sometimes multiple arms and legs, and he just they have to go on the rest of their lives. We're not thinking about that. Yeah, you've got to just pick it up. And you know, and I get to serve with some heroes like that too. And Brian mass who's the double amputeue from a Florida who I served with, who you know, he just every day wakes up and he's just a happy guy because he's lucky to be alive and never complains. He just keeps going about his business. And I'm also the same way. I'm lucky to be alive too. You know, I've got some limitations, but you know who doesn't and uh, you know, you just you just learn. And frankly, a lot of the advances science has made medicine has made because of what we've learned from our men and women in uniform, the heroes that come back home and have had some different kind of injuries. And you'd think about it, you know, during Vietnam. A lot of the people who died during Vietnam, because of the advances that have been able to be made in science in medicine, may have made it today. And a lot of them do make it to come back home. But they, you know, they have serious injuries, and we need to do a better job of taking care of them through whether it's the VA or uh you know, other you know, other hospitals to make sure that they have the care they need. But h but that advancement in medicine helped people like me to live. Brad Winstrom Medical doctor from Ohio as a Congress medicer with he was on the ball field that day. He was a combat surgeon in Iraq and saw a very similar injury in combat to what I went through, and he immediately came to put a tourniquet on me. And and my trauma surgeon told me, if I wouldn't have arrived at the hospital with that tourniquet applied just correctly like it was by by doctor Winstro, I would have never made it. And uh, I remember calling over to somebody I knew, I don't remember who, and I remember them telling me privately that it was far worse and that that first twenty four hour period or maybe forty eight hours, I don't remember completely, that you had had how many transfusions? You were in bad shape. Yeah, you know, I showed up with with a zero blood pressure, and my trauma surgeon walked me through all of this after a few weeks after and it literally, you know, very few people that show up with that law of a blood pressure make it. And I lost all of my blood almost They had to put twenty pints at twenty units of blood in me that the normal human body takes about nine. So they were as they were putting blood in. It was just coming out because I had so many, you know, so many wounds that were you know, the bullet broken the probably over a one hundred pieces inside of me, and we're just ripping through different different organs and different deaf and bloodles and so I had lots of bleating that they had to go and find and they put blood and they see it just you know, kind of squirting through and there's another hole they've got to go and so shut. So it took unbelievable worn't by a team of surgeons. Luckily they were successful. Yeah, thank god for that. Um Steve Scaliesa's with us. By the way, he's got a brand new book I'll call Back in the Game and his remarkable Fight for his life, out tomorrow. It's up on Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com if you want to get a copy. I just went through the as of now. Remember, the Democrats really didn't run on anything except they hate Trump. They kept telling Maxie Waters, don't say we're going to impeach them. They wouldn't talk about illegal immigration in any way, shape, manner of form. That was the advice of the Center for American progress in John Podesta, and to date we have eighty five specific what they're calling House Democrats preparing a subpoena canon. We're all Trump related probes and everybody from Pelosi to Adam Schiff to Gerald Nadler to Maxie Waters. I mean there's endless, not eight, We're up to eighty five examples. Now, what is your reaction to that? And how do Republicans get anything done? How does the country move when that's their only focus is to destroy Trump? Well, look, Sean, we knew this during the campaign that you know, they they hated the fact that Donald Trump got elected president. You know, were the things that we love about working with President Trump so much or the things that they despise That he's actually carrying out the things he promised during a campaign. You should be rewarded for that. But yet, you know, they wouldn't talk about this in those races where they were spending millions of dollars per race going to Flipsey from Republican a Democrat. The candidates would always say, oh, I'm pro life and pro gun and I'm against Pelosi. Well, guess what their very first vote as a member of Congress sawn is going to be for speaker, and if they vote for Nancy Pelosi, literally they would be breaking their promise to their voters on the very first foot of the cast. A lot of people are gonna be watching those kind of votes that vote in subsequent vote. What did you take it? Donald Trump saying that if Nancy needs a couple of votes, she deserves that position. We might get a couple of Republican votes for her. Well, look, I mean she's She's the one that they knew was going to be speaker. They didn't want to earn in a lot of the swing districts. You notice a lot of Democrats who were in these fifty fifty districts that were running didn't want Nancy Pelosi campaign in for him. They wanted her money and Act Blue money and Michael Bloomberg money, but they didn't want to talk about gun control. They didn't want to talk about the pro abortion agenda of taxpayer money for Plan parent that. They didn't want to talk about any of that. And yet that's going to be on full display, and like you said, the obstruct, resist, harass the president agenda with subpoenas and maybe even impeachment that's where I think they're going to ultimately go, because that's how far left they've moved as a party. But that's not where the country is. And uh and I think overtly that's going to be something that they they'll have problems if that's the director. Well, the good news is that we kept the Senate. What are your thoughts on Florida. I'm watching all of the shenanigans, all of these laws that would not adhere to a history of all of this going on and the same people in that position. It's mind numbing to me that that could have happened. And what are your thoughts on where we are down there? It's it's corruption and voter theft going on before your very eyes. And I've talked to Matt Gah yesterday and you know, I know you've been talking to Matt h throughout this entire thing. And you know there are laws that are in the books for a reason. It's it's to protect every vote from being from being counted. You want every vote to be counted, but it's also to protect and make sure that if you cast a vote and somebody wants to walk in with a stack of a box of a thousand votes that nobody cast, that those thousand votes don't offset your vote and your other nine hundred and ninety nine friends who voted legally. And so that's what's at stake here, too, is the sanctity of the vote. One man, one vote is the law. And if somebody's trying to bring in votes, fabricate votes, that never happened because they see that they're fifteen thousand votes short. So you know, go find sixteen thousand boxes under a debt that we're never cast on election day. That's not the law. It's a legal It might happen in Banana republics, but it shouldn't happen in the United States of America. Well, congratulations on the book. Congressman Steve Scale is back in the game. We're glad you're back in the game. And I know you're going to be out and about and doing a book tour, and thanks so much for stopping by. We're glad you're healthy. It's going to be very interesting. Everything that I warned people about it will happen in the House. But the good news is they don't have the Senate. They won't be able to accomplish those things. The sad part is getting things done that will be good for people. That's going to be put to the side and hatred. The President will be at the forefront and it's gonna be so they'll overreach. It's gonna be fun following them, and every day we will be all over it. So Steve Schoolies, thanks for being with us. Great being with the Shawn. Thanks eight hundred nine for one Seawn. If you want to be a part of the program, daily heat seeking missile of information that you won't get anywhere else. No, no,
