It. Weve known each other over 0 years. Sean best friends. You havent changed at all. You havent changed at all. You were doing a local show on wabc, and then you hit the big time, you substituted for rush, you went into syndication, you started with fox at the very beginning of fox. 1996. Youve been there the entire time. Now youre really the babe ruth of cable tv. Youre the babe ruth of cable tv. Sean lets not jo state the case overstate the case. But you are. As the babe ruth of cable tv, youre attacked by the left. They attack you, call for boycotts, what is that like . Sean thats a great question. The most important thing to me, i dont care. Not even a little bit, mark. One bit what the left thinks of me. I just care about whats right. Like you, i have a love and a passion for this country. I do it by design, my way. You have your unique style, rush has his style, i like to be myself. And i saw 13 million more americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty, i saw the lowest Labor Participation rate since the 70s, worse the recovery since the 40s. 51 low home openership, doubling of the debt. I give those numbers out regularly on purpose. Those are real people, real americans, real suffering. And the suffering, because of government failure. This is your wheelhouse. This is what you do. And you do the history of our great founders and framers and philosophers. At the end of the day, i look at it from a practical standpoint. What works. Why does it work. Why do you think youre attacked the way are you . Sean for a lot of these people its about power. We had the most unbelievable week where pam bonn di is attacked, secretary nielsen is attacked, Sara Huckabee is attacked, conservatives are being thrown out of restaurants, theyre being followed, you have high profile democrats suggesting that we get confronted in gas stations and restaurants, wherever you go, like a mob mentality is taking over. The real reason for it, in 500 dales the economy has flipped dramatically, every Economic Indicator is off the charts, nobody thought donald trump would win, nobody thought hed get the primary, nobody thought hed beat hillary. And now, the democrats only have one playbook, republicans are racist, home on phonetic, islamophobic, its one big lie. Let me look at one economic statistic. 14 states in the United States right now, record unemployment. Africanamericans, record low unemployment. Hispanic americans, record low unemployment. Women in the workforce, record low unemployment. The success of donald trump is a clear and present danger to the left in america. It is a threat to them. And so, like when he first got into office, which he never hed win, theyre imploding. Now that hes skful and now that the mueller witch hunt, which you have an very articulate about, is imploding, now that the economy is successful, nobody expected little rocketman to be returning hostages, to be dismantling nuclear test sites, to be willing to talk about the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. Nobody thought donald trump would get that when he talked about fire and fury and donald trump talking about little rocketman, he was saying my button is bigger than yours and mine works. It shows peace through strength works. It shows the president s economic philosophy works. How long have we, as conservatives, known that government bureaucracy is killing business . It is destroying states like ohio, michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania all around the country. We now have four million new jobs created in just over 500 days. Why am i you think you are attacked because you give voice to conservativism . Sean yes. Youre successful in giving voice . Sean all of the above. Are you a defender of the president and his policies . Sean these policies are working. To answer your question, a round about answer, mark, directly, is that the most of my career, i go with my heart, my gut, but im also very connected to those people that are out of work. I bought a painting by john mcgnaw ton. And hes a patriotic and religious painter out of salt lake city. Its a forgotten man. And the forgotten man painting is a young man on a bench, all of the president s and obama, has his foot on the constitution which you revere. The reason that this election was about them, you know my background thats what i want to get to, do you think you identify with those folks and the president s policies, how you grew up . How you came up and your parents, explain it. Sean my grandparents came here, on average 10 in their pocket from ireland at the turn of the last century. And they had no hopes, no dreams, except to make a better life for their children. And hence my parents did better. And i literally believe i stand on the shoulders of those four grandparents, all four came from ireland. And my parents, they never really had any money. Modest middle class parents. Sean i was delivering papers at 8, washing dishes at 12, by hand, not a machine, in a restaurant every friday, saturday, sunday. I became a chef, a bus boy, a wapter, par tender, then i got into contracting. Painting, hanging wallpaper, laying tile, framing houses. Fell off the roof. Come to my house. Sean you need work done . [laughing] yes, the answer to your question is, im a dishwasher who works hard and harder than ive ever worked. And i believe in this country. And i believe that ive been blessed more than i deserve. And i absolutely, positively, i abhor, this country can be, and is, the shining city on the hill as reagan talked about. And it is frankly my obligation, look, now i have made money, lived with no money and now i have money. Its better to have money and opportunity and a growing thriving economy. Its also better to have peace in the world. We dont need to be at war with everybody. What did your parents do . Sven high my mom was a prison guard, my dad worked in family probation. It was a big deal. Nobody, ive never told this story, i was appointed to the new York Police Academy when i was 19. Really. Sean 19 or 20. Last night, it was psychological, passed the physical, got a 99 on the written, was appointed to the academy and two days before, i said i dont know. I have no idea why i made that decision. It was a big deal in my family, to be a civil servant. The two relatives i had that made to it the fbi, they were like a deity. Thats why it hurts for me to be looking at corruption in the fbi, not to get too offtrack here. Look, america is supposed to be, we all want the same thing, in a way. Everybody wants a nice house in a safe neighborhood, a decent car to drive, they want to go out to dinner once a month or every two weeks, they want to take their kids when theyre 5 or 6 to disney. Theyre willing to work hard for that. When government through its burdenensome regulation and high taxes, you know, think of what the democrats want to run on this Midterm Election, this Midterm Election is the single biggest most important midterm in the countrys history. Because they want to impeach this man. Now, theyre telling people like Maxine Waters, shh, dont tell anybody, we dot it, we got it. They dont have a reason to impeach him no, high crimes or misdemeanors. I agree. Sean what else do they want to do . They want open borders, obamacare, and the biggest tax cut in our history, 2,000, around, on average per family. Nancy pelosi, the millionaire. They want to resend those tax cuts. 2,000 in the pockets of families, is a massive difference in their everyday lives. How do you explain the socalled never trumpers. The president is enormously effective in foreign policy. A lot of them come out of the bush administration, the neoconservatives. You look at iran, the president did the right thing. When you look at israel, recognizing jerusalem as the capital and moving the embassy from tell aveef to jerusalem, that was the law that was bypassed by every president kept this president. When you look at north korea, they may quibble over the things he said, but the fact is, hes done things in terms of first of all putting the military out there, and driving the dictator to the table. When you look at reagan, i worked for reagan. I supported him in the general election. I see lot of similarities. Not talking about the charisma, a principal to both of them. And im concerned there are some people who claim to be conservatives. Who dont recognize it. Either because they have had a personal tiff with him or the very thin skinned about approaches and so far. Sean one other thing they dont want to admit theyve been wrong. Youve been in a fight with these people. Sean its not even a fight. The American People are winning now. Look, im going to make a present kicks. A prediction. Donald trump is a transformational president. And i dont believe hes a nationalist. And i dont believe hes a pop uist. I have always populist. I have always maintained my entire career, i am a reagan conservative. Which you were the chief of staff for ed meese, one of the greatest attorney generals we had. You know reagans poll i ss. I can cite the economic statistics, doubled revenues to the government. He was hated, too, attacked. Sean wait a minute, he was called an amiable duns by republicans. And voodoo economics was a bush term. Took him three times to get the nomination. He was attacked all of the time. The media hated him, hated him. But they hate trump more. Sean more. And my view of that, see if you agree. They thought hillary was going to win, they banked on hillary, they wanted the third term of obama, this mans win surprises everyone, probably surprises himself. American people rose up and said enough is enough we want to try this man. And this is not just an attack from my perspective on trump. This is an attack on the American People. You can hear it more and more. Scarbrough talking about the trump voters as racist. Now, the trump voters are racist, hillary calling them deplorable. Theyre attacking tense of millions of americans. Sean i go on walmart and i can smell the trump people, strzok said. Theres a contempt. And the left has always had this for conservatives. But thiss a contempt for people. Now, okay, im that dishwasher, im that bus boy, im that contractor, i identify with the people that make the country great. Heres why i think trump is a transformational figure. This office will never be viewed again the same way. I think there were three in our lifetime, three, three movements, really profound moments of conservativism. I dont want to cut you short this, i want to hear it. Sean you need to take a break . You know the format. I want to hear this, at length. Sean you got it. Check us out on levin tv, almost every week night, crtv. Com, sign up or 844levintv. Wed love to have you. 844levi. Wed love to have you. 844levi. Well be right back.

Right, them. No one is going to have internet like this. No one is going to have internet like this. Gig to more homes than anyone. Not just the joneses. Over here. Xfinity. The largest gigspeed network. Mark sean hannity, you were talking about mark you were talking about transformational president s. Go aid head. Sean lets go back to the reagan compare son. Looking at trump, besides trade and i know where you stand on trade, lets put that aside. Weve discussed pry matly, i still think everything is a private privately, everything is a negotiation. Well never get. There i know this man pretty well. Donald trump, if you go back to reagan, reagan was hated by the establishment as we were discussing. And all of a sudden, we get 20 million new jobs, lower period of peace time economic growth, mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall, the evil empire, like the little rocketman fire and if you are fury. Now even democrats cant help but acknowledge how great the reagan years were. The same thing will happen to donald trump. The office of the presidency is never going to be viewed the same way again. He has broken every rule of establishment politics. And the left hasnt figured out the American People have figured out, like for example, the media will act all outranled donald trump tweeted this. You watch these stupid cable people that live in a bubble and they talk to each other only, not any realaudioens, thats outrageous. Then the next one will say thats really, really outrageous. No, thats outrageous, and disgusting. This is their own world. Meanwhile, the American People are saying four million new jobs, the economy has never been better, Consumer Confidence has never been higher, record unemployment. Heres my argument. Were going to look back in our lifetime, and we are going to realize that he has systematically changed, hes taken the bar higher in the sense that people want to get things done. The American People are practical common sense people. If it works, they dont want these guys playing games. Ill give you an example. I hate republicans in this sense. Republicans, never, all of the years they talk about healthcare, we had a healthcare debate, never talked about Health Savings accounts, healthcare cooperatives, you and i have read musgrave, goodman, patient power, the kato foundation, Health Savings accounts. Who talked about Health Savings accounts but for rand paul and others . Healthcare cooperatives. Those innovative socalled intellectual ideas of conservatives, werent even discussed. They tried to ram through an establishment bill and couldnt keep a simple promise they all made for 7 1 2 years. Donald trump comes in, okay, ill do it all. They couldnt get the job done. Mark what else has donald trump done . Sean cut taxes. Mark he has exposed the media. And this is why they hate him. I am convinced the media have played this game with the American People for decades, their objective and or by part san , only reporting the news. Hes shown them to be a pseudo profession. Its not a profession at all. What he has shown them also to be is group think, one mind. Theres different characters. Different levels of intelligence, some of them quasiintelligence. He drives them nuts because he called them out. Then they accuse him of attacking the press, freedom. Hes not attacking press freedom, hes pointing out how theyre undermining press freedom. Sean in 2007 and 2008 i said journalism in america is dead. Mark i remember this. Sean i didnt know how right i was. I love this part. What they havent figured out at cnn, cnn, they have been so branded, they will forever be known as fake news cnn. Same with the broadcast networks. One of the funniest things the president does, if you have a sense of humor and you understand donald trump and the American People seem to understand them and they accept that hes not your cookie cutter politician, that is politically correct, that will take a chance. During the rallies, see the people in the back fake news, fake news of the crowd turns around on their own, not led by trump, cnn sucks. Or fake news. And they shout at them. I would be thinking if i was running the network, and every state, every group of people, was saying hannity sucks, i think i might take it personally at some point and say what am i doing wrong. Mark but theres a reason why the Democrat Party agenda and the media are so in sync. Sean sure. Mark when is the last time the Washington Post and the New York Times led with a front page headline story supportive of a trump policy . Sean is that a joke . Mark its like i told you on your show, the text from the fbi, can you point out one thats pro trump . No. Can you point out one thats antihillary . No. One pro trump senior fbi official . Sean the best line you ever said on my show, you pointed out, rightly so, sadly, that, again, not rank and file fbi, im very careful to make mark were the ones that defend the rank and file and were trying to clean up the top mess. Son ill taje it a step further. The heros at the end of this story are going to be rank and file, the special agents, dieing to tell their story about how corrupt their top bosses were. Mark im waiting for my best line on tv. Sean im going to te tell you. Best line ever, was sadly, its a sad line, but true, and captures it all. That literally what they have done to try and subvert an election is far worse than anything russia could have imagined. In is why nobody seems to understand how profound this is. And the other part of this, the i. D. Report is only the beginning. This is what happened. Hillary committed felonies. Hill any be on stlukted justice. It was obstructed justice. It was covered up by the top ranking fbi officials comey, page, strzok, loretta lynn too much an extent, Andrew Mccabe and others. And they covered it up, they rigged an investigation, they wrote an exoneration before they interviewed her and 17 other people. That never happens. There have been other people that have gone to jail far less than what Hillary Clinton did. Toe she could remain the candidate. We see written text how much they loved her. Then they turned on trump. I think you have used the term, i used the term, russia used the term, its accurate, which is a soft coat. This has never happened. This is the biggest single abuse of power, scandal, corruption, scandal, in american history. Back to the media, they have missed the biggest story in their lives and while simultaneously pushing a phony russian narrative, their fixation is not helping the American People but destroying one man after they supported her. Mark the media wants trump out. They go after his family, his staff, they go after his campaign. Sean they want him to fail. Mark he exposed them. You were saying cnn will never be viewed the same, ever. The media will never be viewed the same. We will be right back. electronic dance music . And im the founder of ugmonk. Before shipstation it was crazy. Its great when you see a hundred orders come in, a hundred orders come in, but then you realize ive got a hundred orders i have to ship out. Shipstation streamlined that wh the order data, the weights of , everything is seamlessly put into shipstation, so when we print the shipping ll everythings pretty much done. Its so much easier so
