THE LEGACY OF NEW YORK EPISODE 77: SEAN HANNITY


Subscribe:


Sean Patrick Hannity⁠[3]⁠ (born December 30, 1961⁠[4]⁠) is an American ⁠talk show⁠ host, ⁠conservative⁠ ⁠political commentator⁠,⁠[5]⁠⁠[6]⁠⁠[7]⁠ and author. He is the host of ⁠The Sean Hannity Show⁠, a ⁠nationally syndicated⁠ talk radio show, and has also hosted a commentary program, ⁠Hannity⁠, on ⁠Fox News⁠, since 2009.
Hannity worked as a general contractor and volunteered as a talk show host at ⁠UC Santa Barbara⁠ in 1989. He later joined ⁠WVNN⁠ in ⁠Athens, Alabama⁠ and shortly afterward, ⁠WGST⁠ in ⁠Atlanta⁠. After leaving WGST, he worked at ⁠WABC⁠ in New York until 2013. Since 2014, Hannity has worked at ⁠WOR⁠.⁠[8]⁠ In 1996, Hannity and ⁠Alan Colmes⁠ co-hosted ⁠Hannity & Colmes⁠ on ⁠Fox⁠. After Colmes announced his departure in January 2008, Hannity merged the Hannity & Colmes show into ⁠Hannity⁠.⁠[9]⁠
Hannity has promoted ⁠conspiracy theories⁠ such as "⁠birtherism⁠" (claims that then-President ⁠Barack Obama⁠ was not a legitimate U.S. citizen), claims regarding the ⁠murder of Seth Rich⁠, falsehoods about ⁠Hillary Clinton⁠'s health, and false claims of election fraud in the ⁠2020 presidential election⁠.⁠[10]⁠ Hannity was an early supporter of ⁠Donald Trump⁠ in the ⁠2016 presidential election⁠, and often acted as an unofficial spokesman for him.⁠[11]⁠ When Trump was president, White House advisors characterized Hannity as the "shadow" ⁠chief of staff⁠,⁠[12]⁠ and he reportedly phoned the White House and spoke to Trump most weeknights.⁠[13]⁠ According to ⁠Forbes⁠, by 2018 Hannity had become one of the most-watched hosts in cable news and most-listened-to hosts in talk radio, due in part to his closeness and access to Trump.⁠[13]⁠ He privately urged Trump administration officials before and during the ⁠January 6 United States Capitol attack⁠ to cease some of their efforts to retain the presidency and to urge Trump's supporters to leave the Capitol.⁠[14]⁠
Hannity has an honorary degree from ⁠Liberty University⁠. He won awards from the ⁠National Association of Broadcasters⁠ in 2003 and 2007.⁠[15]⁠ He has written three ⁠New York Times best-selling⁠ books: ⁠Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism⁠; ⁠Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism⁠; and ⁠Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama's Radical Agenda⁠, and released a fourth, Live Free or Die, in 2020.⁠[16]⁠
