My friends of my pillow, my buddy Michael and Del Tome, he was coming out with a brand new product. It's called the new mattress topper.

0:07.0

So I got the new mattress topper immediately and I've been sleeping on it now for a couple of months.

0:12.0

It's the best thing you've ever felt in your life. Now you literally have my pillow foam for support.

0:18.0

It's a transitional foam that helps relieve pressure points and it's ultra soft patented temperature regulating cover.

0:24.0

And I got to tell you, it has a 10 year warranty, a cover that's washable and dryable. It's made in the USA back by the 60 day unconditional money back guarantee.

And welcome to the Sean Hannity show on Greg Jarrett filling in over the next three hours for Sean who is enjoying an early Christmas vacation.

1:11.0

We're just four days away from Christmas. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy Kwanzaa. Festivists for the rest of us. George Costanza, Kramer, talking to you.

1:23.0

For those of you who may not know who I am, I'm a Fox News legal analyst, former trial lawyer. Spent about 15 years anchoring various programs on Fox News.

1:35.0

Author of the number one New York Times best selling book. If I do say so myself, the Russia hoax, the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump.

1:47.0

You can still order it on Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com. We're going down to your local bookstore and pick it up. It is the I think desk reference for all of the corruption at the FBI and the Department of Justice in clearing Hillary Clinton and then setting up Donald Trump trying to frame him for the things he didn't do.

2:12.0

So here we are just four days away from Christmas and the government is supposed to shut down at midnight.

2:22.0

So I'm going to talk about that over the course of the next hour. Love to hear your opinion. I happen to be of the opinion. Let's shut down the government. What do you think? Give us a call at 1-800-941-SHON. That's 1-800-941-732-6. All right.

2:40.0

So here's a novel concept. I am all for shutting down the US government at midnight. Let's do it. Why not?

2:50.0

I mean, after all, it doesn't really mean that the entire US government and all of its operations will actually close.

2:59.0

So pay no attention to the media and liberal hysteria. You know that lives will be lost. The sun won't rise. The world will stop spinning on its axis.

3:11.0

It's nonsense. No, no, that's going to happen because the term government shutdown is one of the classic Washington conards that people love to pedal to scare Americans. The truth is the government keeps on running after midnight.

3:29.0

When the funding runs out, less than 20% of the government actually comes to a temporary halt. Non-essential workers will go home. They get an early vacation. They do get paid, not right then and there, but after the fact that's the law.

3:48.0

So they're all for it. Great. Let's go home. I don't have to work. I get paid for it.

3:53.0

So here's the logical and inexorable question. Why do we even have non-essential workers? Why would the government be hiring non-essential people, people who are not doing important and essential work on behalf of Americans who are paying their salaries?
