SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I kept reinforcing in 2016, Donald Trump--three swing states won by 70,000 total votes. That is a close election. In 2020, when you look at Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin--Joe Biden combined 43,000 votes. This is a divided country, and we just have to accept it for what it was. That's why I didn't like the wave tsunami talk. I thought it was beyond naive and foolish, and I kept pointing out these numbers and saying that the only poll that's gonna matter is those that vote.

I'm taking some good things out of this and I'm taking some lessons out of this whole thing as well. There's got to be some self-reflection.
