1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: Right News Round Up and Information Overload Hour. Here's our 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: toll free telephone number if you want to be a 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: part of the program. In a minute, will be joined 4 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: by our friend Mark halprin Well. I think it's one 5 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: of the few honest brokers in the media today. If 6 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: you remember, in the lead up to the twenty four 7 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: presidential election, we had him on fairly regularly, and he 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: was one of the few people that was like out 9 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: there saying what I was saying. He was reading the 10 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: same numbers I was reading, and he knew that Donald 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: Trump was going to win that election as I knew it. 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: And I although I never want to communicate that to 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: anybody ever, because you always have day of turnout and 14 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: that means that if people don't show up that day, 15 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: all the models are modeling in terms of elections and 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: predictions go right out the window. But we were both 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: had a high degree of confidence that in fact, that 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: would happen. But also he's been honest in as much 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: as he been willing to point out things that we 20 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: have discussed on this program. Russia collusion was a complete 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: manufactured hoax by all the information that we were reporting 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: at the time and what we have learned through declassification. 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: We know that the FBI verify the authenticity of Hunter 24 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop in March at twenty twenty, then pre bunking 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: on a weekly basis all these big social media companies. 26 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: I think we're in agreement on the issue of weaponization 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: of the DOJ and we can talk about that with him. 28 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: But you know, for now about a week, all we've 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: been hearing is this double tap strike on these against 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: these narco terrorists that are bringing drugs into the country, 31 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,639 Speaker 1: killing our children and other Americans that that Pete Heggs 32 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: that sent out in order to kill kill them all. 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: That's what they said. Well, now all of a sudden, 34 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: even fake news ABC Martha Radits of all people, is reporting, oh, 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: we have new information tonight, according to a source familiar 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: with the incident, listen. 37 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: Tonight, new information. According to a source familiar with the incident, 38 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: the two survivors climbed back onto the boat after the 39 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: initial strike. They were believed to be potentially in communication 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: with others. 41 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: And salvaging some of the drugs. 42 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 2: Because of that, it was determined they were still in 43 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: the fight and valid targets. A JAG officer was also 44 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: giving legal advice. So again, David, that video will be key. 45 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: Oh. They were believed to be potentially in communication with 46 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: others and salvaging the drugs. Because of that, it was 47 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: determined that they were still in the fight and valid targets. 48 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: A JAG officer was also giving legal advice, and even 49 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: the top Democrat Jim Hines on the House Intel Committee 50 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: said Thursday that the Navy Admiral Frank Mitch Bradley, you know, 51 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: is absolutely denying the Washington Post report that Pete Hegseth 52 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: ever gave a kill them all order, which has been 53 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: reported as gospel truth. This is why I keep saying 54 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: we have an information crisis in America. Anyway, Mark Halpern 55 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: is back with us. I don't know what your titles 56 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: are anymore. Editor in chief A two way. I know that. 57 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: And you know you're like everywhere these days. 58 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 3: How are you very good to talk to you, San, 59 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: Happy holidays? And we're about ninety percent in agreement on everything? 60 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: Is that ninety all? 61 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: Right? 62 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: Go to the ten percent you disagree with? 63 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: Huh? Well, I prefer to go to the Ronald Reagan view. 64 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: My ninety percent friend is my ninety percent friend. I 65 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: think all Americans should just want to full robust debate 66 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: about the constitutionality legality of the overall operation in the Caribbean. 67 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: I totally agree with you about rush to judgment without 68 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: ample facts on this operation, But in this implicit area 69 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: of disagreement, I would have preferred the Pentagon to brief 70 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: members of Congress and to some extent, the non classified 71 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: way of the public on what actually happened, rather than 72 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 3: letting the vacuum be filled by half truths and things 73 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: that don't longer appear to be true at all. 74 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: Well, we if you go back in history, and I 75 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: won't repeat that which I've told this audience many times. 76 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's Biden, you know, killing innocent 77 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: people in a home and in Afghanistan. I don't care 78 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: if it's you know, mistakes that Barack Obama made or 79 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: George Bush had made, and past presidents and Bill Clinton 80 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: had made. What we know is is that Trende Arragua 81 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: was identified as the people that have been running these 82 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: drug boats, these narco terrorists, and they confirmed the doubts 83 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: what that boat was. You know, I kind of tend 84 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: to doubt if you have four three hundred horsepower outdoor 85 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: motors on your boat that you're out there to get 86 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: out really to get out there faster to catch a 87 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: shark or catch a fish moving at high rates of speed. 88 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: So to me, it's kind of a no brainer. And 89 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: we do have all these drugs that have been flown 90 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: into the country and killing Americans. I'm not exactly sympathetic 91 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: towards those people that are poisoning our fellow Americans. 92 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 3: Agree percent, And I think not only what you're saying 93 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: is morally right and kind of a matter of policy right, 94 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 3: but I think it's be politically popular. But I do think, 95 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 3: you know, again, it's not about, you know, being permissive 96 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: on the war on drugs. It's not about whether these 97 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: are good guys or not. It's about whether it's consistent 98 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: with American law and American tradition to conduct the operation 99 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 3: based on the authority they've asserted it might be. I 100 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: just think we need a fuller debate because there are 101 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: slippery slopes here, and there's not been an operation quite 102 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 3: like this. There's no doubt. For the last fifty years 103 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 3: or so, every American president has basically said to Congress, 104 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 3: go suck lemons when it comes to the war powers. 105 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 3: The executive branch is going to handle it. But if 106 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 3: you love liberty, checks and balances and don't want a 107 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 3: unitary executive to just on its own, regardless of party, 108 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 3: say we're going to go use the American military this way, 109 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: then again there should be a robust debate about what's 110 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 3: the authority being used here, why is in Congress involved, 111 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 3: and is it being done consistent with our values and 112 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: our law. I'm not saying it's not saying it hasn't 113 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 3: been debated in Congress, including Chairman of the Army. 114 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: But the whole War Powers Act has been debated pretty 115 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: much under every presidency. 116 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 3: Is it not, well, hasn't been debated. It's just Congress 117 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 3: is tackless and not standing up to the president, so 118 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: there's no debate. It's been implicitly decided. 119 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: But it's not uniquely Trump, is what I'm saying. 120 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: It's definitely not uniquely Trump. This mission has some unusual elements, 121 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: but one hundred percent, and Barack Obama killed an American 122 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: citizens using American military, so it's not uniquely Trump at all. 123 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: And I was just as insistent that there'd be a debate. Again, 124 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 3: I'm not saying where the debate should come down. But 125 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 3: there should be a debate when the American presidents use 126 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: the military to kill people. Whatever the mission, whatever the 127 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: morality of the mission, there should be some authority that's 128 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: debated and discussed so that we don't have one branch 129 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: of government deciding that it controls the power to declear 130 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 3: war when the Constitution is pretty clear that it's not 131 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 3: the branch that has the power. 132 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: I'll necessarily see this as a declaration of war as 133 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: much as it is. The presidency is, you know, a 134 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: designated terrorist organization and a threat, imminent threat and danger 135 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: to the American people, and under his constitutional authority as 136 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: commander in chief, would have the ability to do so. 137 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: Let me let me move on. Let me ask you. 138 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: Just say I'm not against that, which I just think 139 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: it should be discussed. 140 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, we have you know, we lost a twenty year 141 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: old National guardswoman. We have a twenty four year old 142 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: National guardsman, both from West Virginia. He's clinging to his 143 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: life and now we're learning a lot about the people 144 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: that have been resettled here from Afghanistan. We saw the 145 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: hasty pull out. It was a disaster. Lindsey Grammar at 146 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: the time was asking mayorcus about whether any of the 147 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: people that were jumping on those planes were being vetted 148 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: before they got on, and all he kept saying was, 149 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: we're so proud of our resettlement policies. But now we 150 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: have learned quite a few things. You know, nearly seven 151 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: thousand people flagged for derogatory information, over five thousand flag 152 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: for national security of concerns. We had the arrest of 153 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,559 Speaker 1: another Afghan national, this one in Texas over a threat 154 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: to our national security. And now we have two dead 155 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: guardsmen that have been saving lives in Washington, d c. 156 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: And it's frustrating to me when you couple that with 157 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: wide open borders and the big lie, the lie in 158 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: this case is they were all vetted. They were not. 159 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: The lie about open borders was the borders closed and 160 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: the border secure. It was never closed, It was never secure, 161 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: and they lied to us for four years and now 162 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: we have untold millions of people in this country that 163 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: we know nothing about. 164 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: I agree with everything you said, and the only edition 165 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: I'd had is there's every real possibility that it's going 166 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 3: to be worse that people who are not just what 167 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 3: this appears to be a lone actor, but there's every 168 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: possibility that there's conspirators in this country who came in 169 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 3: through the Afghan resettlement program, the poorest border, and so 170 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 3: I hope that the current administration is doing everything possible 171 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 3: to determine who's come to this country with it. 172 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: Well, they're trying, Mark, I mean you turn you watch 173 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: news as absorbed news as much as I do. They're trying. 174 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: And what do we see every day? What do we 175 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: hear every day? We have ICE agents compared to the 176 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: Gestapo and Nazis, and they're called fascists. Uh, the incidents 177 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: of threats against ICE agents are up a whopping one 178 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: thousand and fifty percent. Now we have some of these agents, 179 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: in this case, guardsmen being killed. You have people like 180 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, you know, number one sanctuary state in the country. 181 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: You know, he wanted to pass a lall although he 182 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: has no constitutional jurisdiction to prevent ICE agents from putting 183 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: a mask on. But it's perfectly okay for the people 184 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: that protect him to wear a mask. And it seemed 185 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: we've had these people, these agents docked and threatened and 186 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, for doing their job, and it's very frustrating 187 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: to me. 188 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, my tone may have been misleading. I always saying 189 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 3: I hope they're doing it like it's their fault. I'm 190 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 3: saying I hope they have the success that is necessary 191 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 3: to go back and rescrutinize all the things that we're 192 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: done under the previous administration. And I agree with everything 193 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 3: you said about ice. This is a this is a 194 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 3: weird situation that one party is just decided to side 195 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 3: with lawlessness and tried to decide decided to side against 196 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 3: law enforcement. They've predicted a bunch of abuses. We just 197 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 3: haven't seen them. And as we're wearing the masks, I 198 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 3: just don't understand their fetish about this. We know why 199 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 3: they're wearing masks. It's not it's not because they don't 200 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 3: want to be do it, do it anonymously for some 201 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 3: nefarious reason. They don't want to be docked. And there's 202 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 3: and there's other health and other related issues, and this 203 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 3: is not this is not understandable to me. Why they've 204 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 3: just decided the law enforcement wearing masks is some sort 205 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 3: of some sort of sinister plot. 206 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: Let's say, if we're on the same page looking towards 207 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: twenty six, the midterms, and and twenty eight, I'll start 208 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: with twenty eight, it appears Gavin Newsom would be the 209 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: front runner as of today. In my mind, I want 210 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: to hear your idea on that number two. I think 211 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people have tried to read too much 212 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: into the Tennessee seventh District and the election that took 213 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: place on Tuesday. However, if the party in power in 214 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: this case, President Trump and Republicans want to maintain control 215 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: of the House and Senate. To do so, they have 216 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: to defy history. It's only happened three times in the 217 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: last one hundred years that the party in power in 218 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: the White House maintains control in the next midterm election. 219 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: So it's not an easy task. 220 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 221 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 3: It's made easier, however, by the fact that there's a 222 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 3: relatively small number of seats here and so Democrats are 223 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 3: unlikely to get a big wave. Of course, it's made 224 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 3: harder because the current majority is so narrow that you know, 225 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 3: it's not going to take a lot to lose it. 226 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: I'll start at twenty six. You know, there's so many 227 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 3: interpretations of what happened in Tennessee. I'm not sure. I 228 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: don't think everybody's overinterpreted. I think that there's one rational interpretation, 229 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 3: which is if if the president's level of popularity and 230 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: people's feelings about the economy are on election day next 231 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 3: year what they were in that National Area district on Tuesday, 232 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 3: the Democrats will win control of the House. So just 233 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 3: a question of whether that's going to change, whether the 234 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 3: president becomes slightly more popular, which is all really the 235 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 3: party needs, and if people feel better about the economy. 236 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 3: But there's no doubt that the Democrats around a liberal 237 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: candidate and the Republicans spent a lot of money and 238 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 3: she did quite well under the circumstances. Someone that liberal 239 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: doesn't really have business coming that close. 240 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: And you shouldn't run in a city that you hate 241 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: and a city known for country music and say you 242 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: hate country music well, and say you want to defund 243 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: the police, yeah, and then say that rioting against police 244 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: is a good thing. 245 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, all those things. I mean, she was a very 246 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 3: liberal candidate and it wasn't like she had all the money. 247 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 3: So I think again, it's pretty clear, and there are 248 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: plenty of maga people who will tell you this. It's 249 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 3: quite simple. Will people say, yeah, the president's got a 250 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: theory of the case on the economy. The vice president 251 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: and the Secretary of Treasury said at the Cabinet meeting 252 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 3: on Tuesday. Next year, happy days will be here again. 253 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 3: The economy will be better. If people feel that next year, 254 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 3: I think the Republicans have a good chance to divie history. 255 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 3: If they don't, I think it will be close to 256 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: close to impossible. And that's as it should be, not 257 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 3: just because this president promised to do better on the economy, 258 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 3: but every president their job is to fight for the 259 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 3: real lives of real people and make their lives better. 260 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 3: And the polling data is clear. It's not fake news, 261 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 3: it's not jerry picking poles. Every honest pole will tell 262 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: you if people don't feel great about the economic current 263 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 3: conditions or about the future. 264 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: In terms of t I'll lead this because we're running 265 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: out of time. You're right. But however, the president has 266 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: trillions and trillions of new manufacturing dollars that have yet 267 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: to get into the blood stream of the economy. His 268 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: tax cuts have not tax scots have not gotten into 269 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: the blood stream of the economy. UH, and energy dominant 270 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: policies have not made it into the blood stream of 271 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: the economy. It's beginning to UH. And if the economy 272 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: turns the way I believe it will second quarter ish 273 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: next year, and the second quarter I think that that'll 274 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: have a big. 275 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 3: Impact, the decisive in the question whether they can keep 276 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: the past. They have a better chance to divide history 277 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: than most president's parties we've seen, you know, at this 278 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 3: phase of the cycle that you know, eleven months after 279 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom's the front runner, he may not run and 280 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: this is the weakest field either. 281 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: Oh, he's running, He's running. 282 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: He said as recently as yesterday. What he said to 283 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 3: me several times, he may not run. He may not. 284 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: But if I can't tell you what he said to 285 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: me in his last text to me, it was not 286 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: very nice. 287 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 3: More. Yeah, you know he's a he's a fickle man, Sean, but. 288 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: He really is. Listen, I got to roll though. We 289 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: do appreciate you, Mark Alprin, thanks so much for being 290 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: with us and come back often. Thank you. Ninety four one, Shawn, 291 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: Let's go to Chris and Marilyn. Chris, how are you 292 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: glad you called. 293 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 5: Sar yeaes sir? How are you Sean good? 294 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: What's going on? 295 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 5: Yeah? Man, I got a comment and then I got 296 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 5: a couple impressions for you of colors from your show. Okay, okay, 297 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 5: So first my comment, all these people with the narco 298 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 5: terraces and stuff, aren't these the same politicians that have 299 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 5: been pushing the pot lobby forever? And pot is still 300 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 5: a Schedule one federally illegal drug. 301 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: I think so. I've been reading recently, I've seen it 302 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: that the scheduling of weed, and I will tell you 303 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of articles about, you know, the THC 304 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: levels that that is what makes you the part of 305 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: marijuana that makes you high, is so astronomical. 306 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 5: Twenty higher, twenty percent higher. 307 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: Okay, that a lot of these kids are are literally 308 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: suffering all of these you know, psychosis and you know 309 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: breaking down. It's called there's a term that's used now 310 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: called scramedy. Yeah, it's caused by habitual marijuana use. Look, 311 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: I I'm I'm I'm torn on the issue. I don't 312 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: want people to do drugs. I don't do drugs, and 313 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: and then people would rightly argue with me, well, you 314 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: do have a beer or you have a drink. Occasionally 315 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I do, Well that's a drug, okay, 316 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: and it's not the same thing. I can have a 317 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: drink and not lose my faculties or get high, right. 318 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 5: And do you know what Schedule one actually means. It 319 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 5: means there's no there's no helpful benefits that we know 320 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 5: of scientifically, which a lot of people argue medical. But 321 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 5: Schedule one says there's no benefits to anybody, and it's 322 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 5: and it's addictive. So those two things make pot schedule one. 323 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 5: It's federally illegal. But all these same politicians and people 324 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 5: who are worrying about the poor ARCO guys probably has 325 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 5: pushed that pot lobby for decades. 326 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: I bet yeah. Look, I have spoken to people that, 327 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: for example, have gone through very very dire, difficult chemotherapy 328 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: treatments for example of a cancer, and they swear that 329 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: it takes away their nausea, makes them feel better, but 330 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: they're taking doses that are reasonable for example. Yeah, it 331 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: does remain a Schedule one controlled substance under federal law. 332 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: My understanding is that's going to change. This proposal to 333 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: reschedule it is ongoing. I think a decision will be 334 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: made this month, and a Schedule three controlled substances a 335 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: drug that has currently accepted medicinal purposes lower potential for 336 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: abuse than Schedule one or Schedule two and can lead 337 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: to moderate or low dependence or high psychological dependence. You know, 338 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: the problem is the people that I know that I mean, 339 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: it's the strangest thing in the world. I mean, I've 340 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: met adults, you know, these are people on the periphery, periphery, 341 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: periphery of my life. And then you find out later 342 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: that you know they love to take gummies. Huh yeah, 343 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, right, whatever, and not the gummies that Linda takes, 344 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: which don't have any THC in them and meaning CBD products. 345 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: It just concerns me overall. I want young people. I 346 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: don't want them, you know, numbing themselves to life. And yeah, 347 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: life at times can be painful, but that painful Also 348 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: that painfulness or any pain that you suffer, can lead 349 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: to an awakening in your life, a spiritual awakening in 350 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: your life. We kind of forget that human beings are mind, body, 351 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: and spirit. Right, take care of your body, take care 352 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: of your mind. Uh, and you know, spiritually, I think 353 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: you need to nourish yourself there as well well. 354 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 5: And apparently the pot can lead to schizophrenia. But I mean, 355 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 5: even if you look in the Bible, Jesus his first 356 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 5: miracles turned water into wine. I mean, I think he 357 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 5: drank wine in the. 358 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 3: Bible, right, so a little bit alcohol. 359 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 5: It's pretty good, I think a little bit. But I 360 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 5: don't know about pot man. So I'm just gonna put 361 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 5: that out there. But can I do my impressions? 362 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: Okay, let's hear it. 363 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 5: All right, Sean. 364 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: This is very very dangerous for me to allow you 365 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: to do. But go ahead. 366 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 5: This is mode liberal Sean. How you doing today?

I'll do mine. I disagree that AJ Woe 373 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: is really good. 374 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 5: Oh nice, thanks Linda. 375 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: All Right, there you go. You get better grades from Linda. 376 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: That's it. I'll say it. Nobody else will say it. There, 377 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: I said it. I'm done. That's also very sure. You 378 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: don't know who that is. Get off my phone. You're 379 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: big dope. I got a roll anyway. I appreciate the call. 380 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: Thank you. Eight hundred ninety four to one. Shawn Joe, Pennsylvania. 381 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: What's up? Joe? 382 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 4: All right? Sean? Were it first? 383 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: Of all, I'm hearing rumors Fetterman's thinking about running for president. 384 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: What do you think of that? Along with Josh Shapiro. 385 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 4: You know, I gotta be honest, I kind of got 386 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 4: a soft spot from Fetterman because I think he's probably 387 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 4: one of the most sane ones right now on the left. 388 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: Oh, I'll take it a step further. I've spoken to 389 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: him many times, he's been interviewed on this radio programming 390 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: on TV, and I actually like him. Now, he's never 391 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: going to become a Republican. I think you're dreaming if 392 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: you think that'll happen. But I think I love the 393 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: fact that he doesn't give a flying rip about how 394 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: crazy his party is. He's just not going there. 395 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 4: Well, I got a shock for you. I'm also a 396 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 4: former Democrat and presidently mayor emeritus from Pennsylvania. So I 397 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 4: was mayor, and of course that's for life. We can 398 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 4: still do other things, but I'm not changing my party. 399 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 4: You don't have to be you don't have to be 400 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 4: a Republican to be conservative or you know, a conscious 401 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 4: or make correct decisions. That's the problem, you see. In 402 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 4: other words, we're picking sides like Democrats are. No the 403 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 4: Democrats have been hijacked. They don't represent me right now. 404 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 4: So what I like to say, if you'll just give 405 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 4: me a few seconds here is freedom is not free. 406 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 4: It's never been free. What price? All these protesters, all 407 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 4: these animals trying to get murderers out of jail, everything else, 408 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 4: promoting drugs, everything else. And I'm not you know, I'm 409 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 4: not going to identify who they are because we all 410 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 4: know who they are. It's on the news every day, 411 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 4: and we know that some of the people that are 412 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 4: promoting this, even even in the parties that are that 413 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 4: are in government. Now we know that everybody knows that. 414 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 4: And it's my party too that's doing this. But bottom 415 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 4: line is, you know, how many of these people have 416 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 4: prayed the price for their freedom? How many people? How 417 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 4: many of these people have gone through with what our parents, 418 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 4: our family has gone through, how many went to war? 419 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 4: How many shed blood? No, but they can get out 420 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 4: there and spew their mouths, try to get everything for free. 421 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 4: May not even be a citizen of this country, and still, 422 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 4: you know, try to run for office or whatever. You 423 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 4: see what's happening. You look think about this, You look 424 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 4: at the Congress, you look at the Senate. It's a disgrace, 425 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 4: the vile, the vile seditious, treason. This dangerous rhetoric that 426 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 4: comes out of these people is insane. Anymore people wake up. 427 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 4: I don't care if you're a Democrat or republic I know, 428 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 4: I know Sean, you are a Republican. Excuse me, you're 429 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 4: going to agree with me with this. I don't care 430 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 4: what party you are. This is not appropriate if we 431 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 4: want our country to survive. It's ripping it down. And 432 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 4: this has been a slow process, I believe, honestly. You know, 433 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 4: I've been pro Democratic and I also have been pro 434 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 4: conservative and voted for conservatives. I'm not going to lie. 435 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 4: I fact the government for what they're trying to do 436 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 4: right now under the Trump regime. I support it one 437 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 4: hundred percent. I don't particularly like him sometimes, you know 438 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 4: what I'm talking about with his people skills, But the 439 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 4: bottom line is, you look at our economy, Blame Trump, 440 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 4: Blame Trump. Well wait a minute now, who raised the 441 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 4: interest rates? Who raised the interest rates where people now 442 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 4: with variable rate mortgages are now paying double their mortgages. 443 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 4: But they're blaming Trump. No, it was under Biden. 444 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 3: You got to get truck. 445 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: I can give you the actual numbers. Under Biden, grocery 446 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: prices went up a walk wopping twenty six percent. Under Biden, 447 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: electrical prices went up thirty nine percent. Under Biden, car 448 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: insurance went up sixty three percent. Combined monthly percent thirty 449 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: seven percent. That's that's unbelieving. That is it's been crushing. 450 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: It's Americans, and many Americans don't even have one thousand 451 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: dollars if God forbid, they have an emergency in their life. 452 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: It's you know, it's just frustrating that. I just know 453 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: what it's like. I've been there, and people might say, well, Hannity, 454 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: I read that you you get paid a lot of money. 455 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm making more money than I thought i'd ever make 456 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: in my life. I'm not. I'm not going to sit 457 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: here and lie to you. But I didn't get into 458 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: this to make money. I got into radio. I did 459 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: it for free. I get in My first paid job 460 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: paid me nineteen grand a year, and I thought every 461 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: day I worked I was gonna get fired. I still 462 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: have that in the back of my head. Isn't that odd, Linda, 463 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: It's a weird. No, that's good, it's inspiration. Well, I 464 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: just want to do the best show I can. I'm 465 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: grateful to be here every day and do the show. Jo. 466 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: We appreciate you, man, God bless you. Eight hundred and 467 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: nine four one Sean Jason in South Carolina. 468 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 6: What's up, Jason, Sir Hannity, Yeah, this is Jason. I 469 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 6: have a question for you. So, do you know of 470 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 6: any possible programs or people that looked into possibly doing 471 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 6: like fixed interest rate for specifically like housing, And you know, 472 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 6: we have this housing crisis with interest rates, but the 473 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 6: banks are going to make you know, three percent, say 474 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 6: say it's three percent. They're going to make three percent 475 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 6: on these fixed interest rates everything, and it's not necessarily 476 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 6: on credit per se. Do you know if anything's been 477 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 6: looked at like that where it could create home ownership 478 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 6: at a fixed rate for these people that are really struggling. 479 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: Here's here's what's going to happen. Interest rates now are 480 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: down a half a basis point. We expect by the 481 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: end of the year three quarters of a basis point. 482 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: The President, probably in January February the latest, will announce 483 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: the new FED Share, There'll be new monetary policy. Interest 484 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: rates I would imagine will continue to come down, which 485 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: means that you're going to be able to get a 486 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: thirty year fixed rate mortgage, probably in the fours and 487 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: in no time maybe you know, four or five percent, 488 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: which is so much better than where it's been. What 489 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: does that mean? You know, all these people that have 490 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, three three and a half four percent interest 491 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: rate thirty year fixed rate loans that have been wanting 492 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: to move have not been willing to give up that 493 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: low interest rate is going to be a massive sell 494 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: off of pre existing homes. And with an increased supply 495 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: and demand being you know what it is, I would 496 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: imagine that people will be able to enter the home market. 497 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: You had a point to interest rates, you know, in 498 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: a mortgage, and you know, it makes a home that 499 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: would otherwise be affordable unaffordable. And the same thing, you know, 500 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: I think that we're also going to see where we're 501 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: short about six thousand homes around the country. I think 502 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: you're going to see once you see seal of pre 503 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: existing homes, new home construction is going to heat up 504 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. And I want that for people. I 505 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 1: was never never more proud of my life than when 506 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: I got my first home. I don't know, I paid 507 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: like one hundred and twelve, fifteen thousand dollars something like 508 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: that in Roswold, Georgia. I love my little house. I 509 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: loved it, end of a culdest sac buried in trees. 510 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: It was awesome, you know, in the wilderness where I 511 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: want to go.

I know nobody wants to ever 516 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: hear that, but it does take time to get into 517 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: the bloodstream of the economy. We're seeing signs of success, 518 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: but undoing the damage is much harder than I think 519 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: most people know. 520 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 3: Right. 521 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: That's gonna wrap things up with today.
