Summary
Rose Tennent guest-hosts The Sean Hannity Show while Sean reports from China, opening with a reflection on America’s founding, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and why liberty must be protected by moral responsibility. She argues that America’s identity depends on remembering the principles of self-government, God-given rights, and limited government as the country approaches its 250th anniversary. Greg Jarrett joins the hour to discuss the Cole Allen prosecution, the DOJ conflict-of-interest argument, John Brennan and the Russia investigation, Biden’s effort to block ghostwriter tapes, and James Comey’s public criticism of President Trump. The hour also previews Sean’s live reporting from China and the legal and political questions shaping the week.

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hi, and welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. My name is Rose, and guess what? They invited me back again. So I'm really happy because I love Sean's audience. Glad to be here with you. You guys are awesome. Sean is in China with President Trump. I don't know if you saw this, but they literally rolled out the red carpet for him. |
| 0:22.3 | Such fanfare and it's great. We'll talk about that later in the show, but it was a lovely thing to |
| 0:26.7 | behold. Linda talked to Sean earlier today, and we're going to be bringing you that information |
| 0:32.7 | and that interview at 4 o'clock. But in the meantime, I'd like to talk about where conviction meets calling |
| 0:39.9 | and whether freedom is worth the cost. No, I think it is, but why don't you think about that |
| 0:45.1 | for a while? Because when I think about America, I think about it as more than a place. It's the |
| 0:50.0 | idea that greatness doesn't come from a ruling class, but from ordinary people carrying extraordinary |
| 0:56.9 | dreams. Our founders understood that the only way to unleash the power of individuals was to let them |
| 1:04.8 | be free. And in their wisdom, they understood that the answer to the human condition was liberty protected by the |
| 1:14.1 | rule of law. And that's what made America America. It wasn't just the Rocky Mountains or the |
| 1:20.6 | fruited plains. It's not our lakes, our rivers, wind-swept, shores. I mean, those are all great. But it was an |
| 1:26.3 | idea. And once that idea is lost, |
| 1:29.9 | I suggest that America will be lost as well. And all that's necessary to keep the Republic |
| 1:36.0 | is never forget what made this country great in the first place. And that was liberty. |
| 1:42.1 | You only have to look at politics right now, academia, media, law to see that the American |
| 1:49.0 | idea has been gradually fading from our memories. |
| 1:52.5 | And that's why this generation really does carry responsibility, not only to remember |
| 1:58.0 | liberty, but to protect it. |
| 1:59.7 | The men and women who built this nation understood something extraordinary, |
| 2:03.6 | that they would never fully enjoy the benefits of their sacrifices |
| 2:06.9 | because they knew when they were doing it that what they built, |
| 2:09.6 | they were building for people they would never meet. |
