Welcome to Who Want It Best, where we cover the only reason to do anything awards. I'm Emmy award winner, Desi Leid,
and, I'm, a, thin, gay, guy,, Troy, Iwada. You know, this past week was packed with award shows. And as you probably guessed, we have to start off by talking about the highly anticipated Bellator Awards. Oh yes, of course. The Bellator Awards.
Everybody, knows, what, the, Bellator, Awards are. We, don't, even, have, to, explain, it.
Nor, should, we. No. No., Let's, talk, about, this, year's, keynote speaker, the glamorous, the debonire the sex symbol of our time
Steve, Bannon. I, will, tell, you, right, now, is, God, is, my witness. If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison. myself included.
I, told, myself, I, wouldn't, cry, at, the Bellator Awards again. Every, year,, like, clockwork,, here, we, are.
Of, course,, like, everyone,, I, watch, the Bellator Awards for the fashion. Can we talk about Steve's fashion?
Well,, I, I, think, we, have, to., It's, just incredible. He's wearing a shirt by Gucci, a coat by a dumpster. And then another shirt that's vintage 1942 Hugo Boss that we've been told not to ask questions about.
Lock, him, up, before, some, other, woman does. But of course, the Bellator Awards were just the appetizer to last week's main course, the Fox Nation Patriot Awards
where, those, who, win, are, declared, the most patriotic Americans, and those who lose are never heard from again. So fun.
It's, so, fun. It's, so, It's, fun., It's, fun., It's, fun. It's fun. And, returning, as, the, host, with, the, most head circumference, Sean Hannity. Let's see that charismatic melon in action.
Wow,, the, crowd, is, loving, it., Oh,, the vocal commitment, the stage presence
the, fine, motor, skills. I, mean,, how, how, does, he, do, it? I, just, I, just, want, more., Please, tell, me it goes on for an excruciatingly long time.
Start, spreading, the, news. I'm leaving today. No longer want to be a part of it. High tax New York. These commie mandi blues are longing to leave right to the very heart of it. Bye-bye New York. It was the perfect song with definitely the correct amount of syllables.
It, was, It, was, so, good., It, was, so, good., I could die now. I want to die now. I might kill myself.
But, Sean, Hannity, wasn't, the, only Megawatt celebrity to grace this stage. The show was full of stars.
Wait,, do, you, hear, the, lineup, is, sick? It's great. It's fun. It's going to be amazing just hanging out with Jason Aldine backstage. Give it up Jason Aline. By the way, uh Jason Aldine is going to be back on this stage. We have a special treat for you because Jason is coming, back, out., All right,, ready, for more star power? Back. I love Jason Aline. No way. They they got Jason Aldine five times.
I, mean,, how, can, you, say, no, to, performing at the Fox News Patriot Awards? It's an opportunity to be heard by millions of people who are no longer on speaking terms with their children
you, know?, But, it, wasn't, just, glitz, and glam. Hannity also gave us a classic heartfelt awards show moment. M
I, doubt, there's, a, person, in, this, room right now that would have ever bet 30 years ago that this thing not only that Angley Airheart would date the other thing but she will be my wife.
I, love, you, sweetheart. I, Who, is, it? What? Mike Walls is here. Mike,, stand, up., Good, to, see, you,, buddy.
Oh, my, god., Oh, my, god., Sean, Hannity, and Anley Hehard and I guess Mike Waltz are going to be together forever.
If, those, three, bottoms, can't, make, it work, no one can. No one. But of course, of course, all this was just a leadup to the big prize of the night, the Patriot of the Year.
Oh,, who's, it, going, to, be?, Who's, it, going to be? No, don't tell me. Don't tell me. I want to be surprised. Okay, tell me. No, don't tell me. I want to find out. Like everyone else
roll, the, clip, join, me, and, welcoming, Fox, Nation's Patriot of the Year, the first lady of the United States of America, Melania Trump. Wow. Wow. Melania won just a year after her husband won the exact same award. What are the chances?
What?, What? What, do, they, say?, We're, going, to, never know. It's, official., They, are, awards, royalty. The Trumps are now up there with the Copalas. some of the Kulkans and the Gyllins Hall.
And, Melania, wasted, no, time, doing, the most patriotic thing she could do plugging her movie.
The, silver, screen, and, I, have, been, in deep conversation lately. You may have heard the news. I produced a new film with MG, Amazon MGM named Melania. capturing my life, my business, my philanthropy, fostering the future building my Eastwing team, and of course, caring for my family.
It, was, the, perfect, speech, with definitely the correct amount of syllables.
And, by, the, way,, such, a, classy, move, to shout out her East Wing team after they were all buried alive during the demolition. RIP. RIP.
So, fun. That's, so, fun. We, have, someone, to, find. That's, your, award, show, wrap, up.
I, mean,, I, can't, wait, until, next, year., I hear they're trying to get Jason Aldine.
Oh, do you think he'll be available? I, don't, know., Is, there, anything, in, this cup?
