This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Ainsley, you think you are
getting hit with hurricane and you get fire.
You get fire thats, a double whammy:
thats, a double whammy
live for your guy America,
thanks for having me
appreciate being on the show, as
always,
im shocked that your producer
Gavin didnt, have a marching
band
super bowl, Marchs bands,
Ainsley, we knew you were going
to go there.
Congratulations number one on
Amazon already
Sean. By the way we have the
greatest audience.
We dont get the cameras. Without
them
they support our books and
and theres so much at stake, and
I would hate to think of what
this country would be like
without alternative news source.
We have talk, radio, a lot of
conservatives and we have fox
and the rest of them yeah. They
are all fake news dominated by
the propaganda wing of the New
Democratic Socialist Party
Brian. You already did the
impossible. Last night, your show
to interview from Lauras show
no one thought that was possible.
Even Regis, Philbin didnt do
that
Ainsley hes feeling jealous
Sean, then for Tucker
Brian. I would love to be big
enough to do morning show
without a tie and Sean Hannity
proved it can work
Sean. I have to ask you. You
believe that the countrys
future is at stake if Donald
Trump does not win, but a lot
tougher for him today, because a
major endorsement went to Joe
Bidens Way and theres no
marching band for this, because I
dont know any communist tunes,
but Bob
Laughter,
Brian Head of Revolutionary
Communist Party hes come out
with an endorsement and it is
Joe Biden, so the communist vote
will not go to Donald Trump.
He said, Biden is better than
Trump in any meaningful way,
except is not better than Trump
in a meaningful way, except hes,
not trump,
so he goes on with his communist
hyperbole.
This does not help Joe Biden
with the image on the social
left. Does it
Sean im watching this, and this
should not surprise, and we have
the smartest argument. I argue by
far- and I shouldnt surprise
anybody-
maybe the canary in the coal
mine,
remember when Joe Lieberman
happened to be national defense,
strong against radical
extremist islamic extremists,
and he got rejected.
That was the beginning of where
we are now
think about this election.
This is the most radical of any
major two parties, Joe Biden, that
we have ever seen.
I think this is born out of fear,
which bodes well for the
President reelection chances,
and that is that they have now
gone hard. Core left wing,
hes, now sign to Bernies agenda
of radical socialism and
pledging trillions of taxpayer
dollars to go to new green deal
to appease AOC Bozo, as I call
him Beto Orourke gun policy,
and then you have AOC Schumer
Pelosi and Biden.
We sent Lawrence Jones. What is
his one accomplishment hes
been in the swamp fifty one years.
I can give you chapter and verse
on what Donald Trump has done. Three
and a half years and hes been a
transformative president,
if theres three way of conservatism
in America and I as a registered
conservative, believe
conservatism work for we, the
people, it would be Ronald
Reagan, Newt, Gingrich, contract
with America. We come to power
for the first time in forty years,
and the next wave is Donald
Trump and interestingly, I had so
many people back when Donald
Trump was running.
I put all of my conservative
credentials on the line.
I had known him for twenty five years.
He really is probably the most
transparent president in our
lifetime. By far because
everything he said he would do
in twenty. Sixteen he has done.
Nobody has been better for
Israel. Nobody has been better
for religious freedom.
He followed through on tax cuts
and and ending burdensome
regulation.
He followed through on found
ways of building four thousand and twenty miles of
wall by election day.
Judges, you name it you name
it
all of these are key decisions
and he put the travel ban in
effect, ten days after the
coronavirus started
its incalculable. How many lives
hes saved?
This is a guy that kept his
promises.
Joe Biden, let me very kind
about this here is the fair
question: does he have the
mental alertness, strength and
stamina for the toughest hardest
job in the world, and the answer
is obvious: no,
when Lawrence went out and asked
those people, what has Joe Biden
accomplished, they cant name a
single thing in fifty one years.
Brian. Can we hear some of that
since you paid for Lawrence to
do it right now?
I will pay for the rights this
morning.
Okay,
what would you say its Joe
Biden, signature accomplishment
in
President Obamas
righthandman
thats enough for you
definitely
I dont know what hes a
nice man and smiles a lot.
What would you hay is his
number one accomplishment
people come together
better than, of course, Donald
Trump
Biden is the guy
its unfortunate thats all
we have now
Sean think about those answers.
He was Obamas Righthand man,
okay, hes, nice and smiles
hand on a second. I will nice
and I will smile, and will you
elect me presidents,
great qualities, to have for sure
which I dont buy hes creepy
to me, we have all seen the
videos.
Okay, if you cant name a single,
defining accomplishment of Joe
Biden in fifty one swamp years. Why
would we ever give this guy a
promotion?
He has changed positions
its going to be interesting
because the Democratic Party
always plies identity. Politics
here is a guy Pelosi Schumer, both Clintons and Biden, all
both Clintons and Biden. All
praise the former Klansman KKK
Byrd,
Joe Biden, was speaking on
integration. He didnt want
schools and sending kids to
school. That would become his
words a racial jungle.
Can you just stop for a second
and ask yourself what would
happen how the media in this
country would react if, in fact,
that was Donald Trump, that said
those things
PETE Sean speaking of the
media,
of course, Joe Biden, one
accomplishment, one thousand nine hundred and eighty four crime bill,
hes running away from as fast
as he can April. Ryan. Shes often in n the
April Ryan shes, often in N, the
White House Press briefing room
watch the clip on Sunday
theres a split screen on
January 20th, two thousand and twenty. If Joe Biden
is going to be the 46th
president of the United States,
you will have him being
inaugurated and watching police
and armed forces trying to pull
Donald Trump out of the White
House.
I cannot wait for that.
Pete lunatic narrative that
hes a dictator that he will
never give up power. As he simply
points out, we will have serious
problems with mail out ballots
that are. We are pushing out to
voters that we cant account
for
Sean. We better make sure we
have integrity.
I would have lawyers in every
swing state now today and make
sure that we have election
integrity.
I actually put up on my website
hannity dot com. This is
informational, interactive map,
so you know when early voting
start. How do you go about
absentee votes and if you have
Senate race this year,
very very important.
The fact that this country, its
such a disservice, thats fake
news CNN and they are allowing
that bizarre conspiracy, theory
weve, had Lets sigh Clyburn and
Pelosi, comparing the president
to fascist and using Hitler.
Analogies
Brian Mussolini
Sean. We saw obamas speech.
This party is not your dad
grandmas Democratic Party. This
is the most extreme party that
we have ever seen, and the
saddest thing is the mob in the
media for CNN to allow that to
happen and the Democratic Party
they have lied to this country
since the day. Donald Trump and
Melania Trump came down that
escalator
everything that they said about
Russia. Russia was a lie.
It ends up that there was
russian interference
that was Hillary Clintons paid
for dossier. That was then used
to commit premeditated fraud on
FISA Court to spy on candidate
and then transition team, Trump
and deep into presidency
these how they get away with
these bizarre conspiracy
theories and hoaxes. This is
like every second of the day.
I dont know what it is.
Donald Trump more than any other
politician that I have watched
in my lifetime has uncanny
ability to live in peoples.
Minds
I say it all of the time
if Donald Trump cured cancer
theyd still say well, he
manufactured it in a lab in
Wuhan Province in China.
Those, but the upside of this
is this: if every single person
watching this program- and this
is what I wrote- live- free or die
in american war-
I talk about my mind, heart and
soul, but I will tell you that
risk but upside, and if the
people in the country reject three
and a half years what they have
done to this country, we know
with the Russia, hoax and
ukrainian duplicity quid pro
quo, Joe and zero experience
hunter. They ignore all of that
and reject socialist policies of
Biden. Bernie here is the Good
NEWS. America. We are going to
go back to setting record low
unemployment,
itll, be peace through strength,
not appeasement and will secure
the borders and remain energy,
independent and save millions of
jobs in energy sector. Under AOC
and bidens plan we will
eliminate and America will
remain the shining city on a
hill.
Now thats. I only have one
vote.
You guys only have one vote.
If we do those things, I believe
this country we save this
country for our kids and our
grandkids
Ronald Reagan- is one generation
from extinction.
Okay lets not make this
generation
lets, protect the country,
liberty and freedom created a
standard of living that is the
envy of the world and guess
what we as Americans, because of
liberty and freedom. We have
advanced the human condition and
we are going to do it again,
probably when we get a vaccine
for Corona
Ainsley. I know when you write
books a lot of time and thought
goes into what the cover will
look like and what the title
would be.
Yours is live, free or die.
Explain why you went with that
title and this picture
Sean its a great picture.
I actually hated the covers
after I saw PETE Hegseths cover
in his book, and I compared to my
books.
Brian, did you almost put PETE
on your cover
Sean? I actually thought about
it.
Laughter,
Sean. I cant compete with. We,
the people
I just cant,
he has got. Everybody beat
Congrats PETE on the success
of your good book.
If you look at the very bottom,
it says black in Latin down,
there
live free or America dies.
This is the biggest choice
election in our lifetime and I
believe, if the policies that
they are stating that they will
follow, that will destroy the
greatest single best country,
God yeah, we believe in God,
has ever given man and we have
used the power.
We have used our freedom to
advance the human condition.
Unlike any other country in the
world,
we have protected also the rest
of the world, paying the price
for freedom against fascism,
Nazism, communism, you name it
Brian. So I know what you think
is at stake and you think Donald
Trump is the one to keep us
free
Sean by Far
Brian okay. I got it.
Having said that, you could have
the better, you could have the
better message, but you could
still lose the game.
Do you believe that the Trump
team as currently constituted
election team is the winning
team? And what do you think he
has to do in order to define Joe
Biden who, in this pandemic and
without a convention, has been
very hard to do
its harder to to create the
angst with Biden as it was with
Hillary, and she did a lot of
that herself?
Do you think the Trump team has
is assembled correctly to win,
or would you like to see more
pieces
Sean? I dont know inner
workings
certain things. I will point out
its sad. He will never get
credit for what he was able to
accomplish with coronavirus
the one decision of the travel
ban ten days after the first
identified case in America. I
mean this is the big curve
value here and he put the travel
ban in effect and Biden called
it hysteria and fear mongering
in terms of the campaign. I want
to know the ground game is up
and ready.
I want to know they have boots
on the ground.
I dont know I grew up in long
Island, New York. I have natural
distrust of people and if some
people would cheat, I dont
know we just have to make sure
we keep them honest, trust and
verified.
I would say you know when the
president is dialed in as hes
been the last numbers and weeks
the hot spots I talked to RON
Desantis looks like its
plateaued, like we saw in New
York itll, then slowly, the
death count went up, but then we
get the flattens of the curve
slow decline. We knew that would
happen.
It was when and not. If
we get that under control,
we have better therapeutics, we
can announce vaccine. That would
be extraordinary helpful, not
only for us, but the entire
world,
the worst pandemic since one thousand nine hundred and eighteen,
but then it becomes an issue on
everything else.
You know its funny. When you
hear Democrats, they like to do
a lot of things that are
symbolic, I say, but what they
dont do results.
It was Trump not Barack and Joe
that did criminal justice
reform police reform.
It was. It was trumps,
commitment to hysterically black
colleges. It was Trump setting
and shattering every low
unemployment record for every
demographic in the country.
Joe and Barack. Never did that
and by the way, the new, Joe
thats, even more left, God help
this country if they get
elected
Brian best luck with the tour
Sean love. Your show.
