1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Scott Shannon. Hour two Sean Hannity Show,

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Toll free. Our number is eight hundred and nine to

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: pot one. Shawn. If you want to be a part

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: of the program, we welcome back to the show our

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: friend Cheryl Atkinson. You might recall years ago was with

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: CBS News and we have a lot of media news.

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: And then I want to talk to you about what

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: we learned how the FDA's own vaccine reviewer didn't take

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine, which is interesting while we're firing people

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: in the military, although Donald Trump free instated everybody with

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: back pay. But there is a lot of media news.

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't I won't take your time, but I'll play

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: it later in the program. You know over at MSDNC,

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: they're losing their mind. I mean Nicole Wallace comparing Ice

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: raids to the Holocaust. If Joy Reid is out there

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: comparing Trump to Hitler and Nazi Germany. Now out of nowhere,

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow has become a fiscal conservative, the conspiracy theory liar.

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Extraordinary that she's been, and she's gotten away with all

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: of it, never held accountable, slamming the Trump administration, the

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: expensive use of military planes to deport the legal immigrants. Well,

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: we do have known terrorists, murderers, rapists, gang members, cartel

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: members in the country. Yeah, we we have to were

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: supposed to assume that they're the good people that just

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: want a better life for themselves and their families, and

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: they're not going to be a threat on a plane,

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: and so we have to put people in handcuffs to

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: protect the pilots, the aircraft, everybody on board. That would

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: be normal. They've worried about the cost of it. Well,

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: what's the cost of you know, of food and housing

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: and healthcare and education? You know, how are our kids

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: suffering in the classroom as a result. On top of

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: wa Kamala wanted is taxpayer funded sex change operations? I

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: mean this, They have learned nothing from this election. We

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: said in seven Journalism's dead. I said after this election,

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: legacy state run media mob is done. And if you

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: want to be a successful media person or content provider,

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: you better tell people the truth. As I said at

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: the beginning of the program today. Anyway, and then I

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: see fake Jim Acostas leaving CNN. They we're gonna move

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: him midnight to two am. Back in twenty eighteen. I

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: had a big fight with him. We'll get into that

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: later in the program. And then he goes out the

43
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: way that he went in. You know, it's it's it's

44
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable, and he as a matter of fact, let

45
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: me play this because it's really worth listening to him

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: and his sanctimonious, self righteous, out of touch, you know,

47
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: completely void from reality, delusional, you know, goodbye.

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: I just wanted to end today's show by thanking all

49
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: of the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at

50
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: this network. You may have seen some reports about me

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: and the show, and after giving all there's some careful

52
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: consideration and weighing an alternative time slot, seeing an offer, Bee,

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: I've decided to move on. I am grateful to CNN

54
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: for the nearly eighteen years I've spent here doing the

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: news as the son of a Cuban refugee. I took

56
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: home this lesson. It is never a good time to

57
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: bow down to a tyrant. I've always believed it's the

58
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: job of the press to hold power to account. I've

59
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: always tried to do that here at CNN, and I

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: plan on going doing all of that in the future.

61
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: One final message, don't give into the lies. Don't give

62
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: into the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope.

63
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: Even if you have to get out your phone, record

64
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: that message. I will not give into the lies. I

65
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: will not give into the fear. Post it on your

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: social media so people can hear from you too.

67
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: He fancies himself a member of the press as a journalist,

68
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm a member of the press. I'm a talk show host.

69
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: We do great news, investigative reporting, we give opinion, we

70
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: talk about sports, we talk about culture, and we're like

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: an entire newspaper. They claim that they're journalists, they're not journalists.

72
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Bill Maher actually called these people out over the weekend.

73
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: He state took a swipe at MSDNC and their roster

74
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: of ex conservatives. You may not know this Nicole Wallace,

75
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: you know she she ran the McCain and Sarah Palin campaign.

76
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: He worked for George W. Bush. And then he specifically

77
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: called out liberal Joe. I used to know Joe. I

78
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: remember Joe talking to him back in two thousand when

79
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: the Florida recount was going on. He called me, I

80
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: was in my backyard walking around in circles around, you know,

81
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: my backyard, and he's saying they're stealing it. They're stealing

82
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: the election. They're stealing it. Now he goes over to

83
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: MSDNC and he's and what Mars suggested is they changed

84
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: their politic politics for her paycheck. You can't be a conservative.

85
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm fakee news. And then they wonder why people have

86
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: you know, are leaving them in droves after nine years

87
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: of non stop hating of Donald Trump, spreading lies, conspiracy theories,

88
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: turning a blind eye to the weaponization of our Justice Department,

89
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: turning a blind eye to the double standard when it

90
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: comes to top secret classified information, going along with a

91
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: phoney valuation of mar A Lago, going along with a

92
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: dirty Russian disinformation dossier, going along with a novel legal

93
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: theory for a legal nda paid to a lawyer, labeled

94
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: a legal expense with a novel legal theory, turning it

95
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: into a federal crime. And nobody has a problem with that.

96
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: Eighteen million dollars is not what mar A Lago's worth.

97
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,119
Speaker 1: It's worth over a billion. Ask any realtor in Palm

98
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Beach and you'll get the same valuation anywhere between a

99
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: billion and a billion and a half. By the way,

100
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: MPR PBS Voice of America eyed for defunding. That would

101
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: not be a bad thing. And you have Sonny Houston.

102
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal because he or

103
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: she is undocumented. That's xenophobic. If you enter the country illegally,

104
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: you broke the law anyway, Sheryl Atkinson, it seems like

105
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: they've learned nothing. I mean, you've been pointing this out

106
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: for years, and I really I have no idea what

107
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: your politics are to be very honest with you after

108
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: all these years of interview with you, but you do

109
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: point out bias, and I think you would agree with

110
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: me that they are dishonest about who they are. They

111
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: claim to be journalists, they're not journalists.

112
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: Well, in many instances, I believe that's absolutely true, and

113
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: they're in life. The problems there were some overt disclosure

114
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: or labeling that people understand it's analysis or an editorial show.

115
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: That's one thing. But when news is it as if

116
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: it's hard news, and yet you're clearly getting either one

117
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: side or biased opinion. I think that's where obviously where

118
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 3: the problem lies.

119
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean in your years at CBS, for example,

120
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: you tried to do fair, balanced, objective reporting.

121
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: What happened well to be clear. For the most part,

122
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: I was assigned to do that stuff, and the bosses

123
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: in general were terrific, whatever their politics were. And I

124
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: had a very successful career, but the last couple of

125
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: years before I started my independent show Full Measure ten

126
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: years ago, the last couple of years at CBS, I

127
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: still won quite a few Emmys and got recognition. But

128
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: I will tell you more of the stories went on

129
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: the cutting room floor, as they say, than got on

130
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: the air, because of selected officials there who've been either

131
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: placed or won a position of power and really overtly

132
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: did not want both sides of the story told, and

133
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: in some cases didn't want the true facts at all

134
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: told on a story. If you wouldn't been to or

135
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: acquiesce to their demands to change the story in a

136
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: way that I thought was dishonest, they just didn't want

137
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: to run it at all.

138
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty amazing. And I think Catherine Herridge

139
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: experienced some of the same difficulties when she left Fox

140
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: and went over there. She played a very big role

141
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: as part of a very small ensemble team of us

142
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: at Fox and then here on this radio show that

143
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: were able to unpeel every layer and get the story

144
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: about the Russia collusion hoax right when everybody else in

145
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: the media got it wrong. Look at the media coverage,

146
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: for example, ABC, CBS, NBC. They gave Donald Trump's pardons

147
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: fifteen times more coverage than Joe Biden's coverage. For example,

148
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: they combined spent three minutes on Biden pardoning his family members,

149
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: the j six Committee, General Millie Anthony Fauci, and yet

150
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: meanwhile they gave forty six minutes of Donald Trump's pardons.

151
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: Does that sound like fair, balanced reporting to you or

152
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: does that sound like the media legacy media mob has

153
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: a learned a thing.

154
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 3: Well, it's what you might expect. They are weaponized against

155
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, for better or for worse. That's just the

156
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: way they're going to I think by the next four years.

157
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 3: I would argue there's even a bigger lapse related to

158
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: the part that you said. You know, we did cover

159
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: this on full measure, but I think it was not

160
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: well covered. I think you folks on Fox did, and

161
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure you talked about I'm talking about the news

162
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: that some people see when they're not watching or you know,

163
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: a diverse group of body of news reporters. But the

164
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: iris whistleblowers who blew the whistle on the Hunter Biden case. Listen.

165
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: They said early on they saw clear evidence that looked

166
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: like there was crimo wrongdoing on the part of Joe Biden,

167
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 3: and that they were not allowed to follow that trail.

168
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden was tipped off by the Department of Justice

169
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: when they wanted to search a storage area. The leaders

170
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 3: at IRS and boj they said, would not let him

171
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: pursue any leads on Joe Biden. And then the government

172
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: intentionally let this actute of limitations expire on what would

173
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: have been much bigger than just a god, she didn't

174
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: pay his taxes investigations, And I think that gets lost

175
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: people refer to the Hunter Biden tax violations. There was

176
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: much more going on there that will never be allowed

177
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: to be pursued thanks to the actions of you know God.

178
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: Well, actually I think it can be pursued. And Professor

179
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: Dershowitz and Greg Jard agree with me inasmuch as everyone

180
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: that was pardoned they no longer have their Fifth Amendment

181
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: rights if they testify before Congress. We know there was

182
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: a flurry of activity, which by the way, gets into

183
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: your book, which has out followed the science how big

184
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: farmer misleads, obscures and prevails. And you do a lot

185
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: of discussion of the COVID corruption and Fauci, the fraud,

186
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. You know, in the case of Fauci,

187
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: we know in early January of twenty twenty and we

188
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: only found out about COVID in late December of twenty nineteen,

189
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: that there was a flurry of emails among high ranking

190
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: NIH officials, including Fauci, laid into the night because they

191
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: were scared to death that NIH money. And it turns

192
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: out NIH money did go to the Wuhan Virology Lab

193
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: visa vi the Eco Health Alliance. They knew gain of

194
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: function research took place, and yet they tried to hide

195
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: the origins of the COVID virus from the beginning, didn't.

196
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: They They did, and you know, not just through EcoHealth Alliance.

197
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: I published for grant numbers a long time ago that

198
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: came from the government directly for research partnering with the

199
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: Chinese lab with US scientists here, and I can tell

200
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: you and I reported this in early twenty twenty one.

201
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: Of course, our government knew that this was man manipulated

202
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: virus that likely came from that lab, despite what you

203
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: were hearing. And I got that straight from the horse's

204
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: mouth from the government military scientists who naturally dissected the

205
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: genetic origins of this first thing. That was done immediately

206
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, as soon as they got a sample

207
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: of it and they saw clear evidence of man manipulation.

208
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: I was told that on the record and reported that

209
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: on full measure, so you know, it's not a mystery.

210
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: It kind of bugged me this immedia weights for the

211
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: sometimes crooked government officials to say something before they act

212
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 3: like it's true. That's the new trend. I mean, twenty

213
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: years ago we would have done our own reporting and

214
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: said what the evidence showed, and now we're still like

215
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: on data breath. Oh, the CIA now says maybe it

216
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: came from the labart we all knew that, Like, we

217
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 3: don't have to wait for the government to codify or

218
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: tell us something that's been long known and pretend it's

219
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: only real when the government says so.

220
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: That's But think of what you're saying here is we

221
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: knew this from the beginning, but they went about a

222
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: misinformation campaign to try and convince us it was a

223
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: wet market. They knew damn well that that US dollars

224
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: funded this lab. They knew gain and research gain a function,

225
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: research took place. They purposely manipulated people. They lied to

226
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: the American people said if you get the shot, you're

227
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: not going to get COVID. Oh, that didn't turn out

228
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: very well. They also said you wouldn't if infect other people,

229
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: so you should do it for grandma and grandpa. That

230
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: turned out to be a lie. The guy that created

231
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: the technology, doctor Robert Malone, was on this program frequently

232
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: at the time, and he was saying and he invented

233
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: the technology for m RNA vaccines, and he said it

234
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: wasn't ready. He said, however, he would use it for

235
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: emergency authorization because for older people, people with coll morbidities,

236
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: people with pre existing conditions, only because they were dying

237
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: at a much higher rate than other people. It wasn't

238
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: designed for kids. And he was very clear about it.

239
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: He got beat up in the media. Rogan had him on.

240
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: After Rogan successfully beat back, he said, I threw everything

241
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: at it. He threw a HCQ at it, ivermectan at it, mona,

242
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: clonal antibodies at it. Instead of the media saying, well,

243
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: we're glad you're okay, Joe, I'm glad you know you

244
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: were able to survive it. You know they attacked him.

245
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: It's pretty unbelievable anyway, Uh, don't for Cheryl Atkinson, investigative journalist,

246
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: author her latest book, Follow the Science How Big Farmer

247
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: Misleads Obscures Prevails on Amazon dot com, Hannity dot Com.

248
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: Just prepare you for what's going to happen this week.

249
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: We have Robert F. Kennedy Junior, Cash Pattel, and Tulsea

250
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: Gabbard and there will be their hearings before the Democrats

251
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: in the United States Senate. Let me tell you what

252
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: to expect. Expect vile, vicious Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas Justice

253
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh style treatment. They will smear, they will slander,

254
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: they will be smirch, they will attack at and they

255
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: will do everything in their power. They they want to

256
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: get a scalp. They want to get you know, they

257
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: want to that. They want to do rail at least

258
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: one person. It might be the right time and we'll

259
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: give out the number tomorrow. Won't get it started too early,

260
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, it might be the right time to contact

261
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: your Republican senators and tell them that President Trump you

262
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: voted for him, and that President Trump should have the

263
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: cabinet that he wants. If people, over time show that

264
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: they're incapable of doing the job, then it would be

265
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: time to replace them. But this is just done at

266
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: a pure petty swamp vindictiveness. And you know, especially it's

267
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: it's sad that you know, you you almost have to

268
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: assume you're starting without Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitch McConnell.

269
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: And that means there's no room, no margin for error.

270
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: Every other Republican will have to support the president in

271
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: his selection. All Right, we'll get to your calls next.

272
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: Eight hundred ninety four one shown our number. If you

273
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the.

274
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: Program, he'll hear what everyone really thinks in DC.

275
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: This is the Sean Hannity Show. All right, twenty five

276
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: now till the top of the hour. Eight hundred and

277
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: nine four one, Shawn is a number you want to

278
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Yesterday was International Holocaust

279
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: Remembrance Day, and that is a day that the world

280
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: needs to pause and remember and never ever ever forget

281
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: what happened back in the Holocaust when you had millions

282
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: of Jews slaughter during the Nazi reign of terror. Today,

283
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, we see a rise of global anti Semitism.

284
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: We see it in our own country, sadly, we see

285
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: it in the halls of Congress. We see it on

286
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: college campuses. And you know, and yet what part of

287
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: murder and kidnapping and torture and beheading some people on

288
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: the left doone understand. I will never understand. We have

289
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: proudly partnered with our friends at the International Fellowship of

290
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: Christians and Jews because you have tens and tens of

291
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: thousands of Israelis that have been displaced. Now Donald Trump

292
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: is moving quickly. He's provided to Israel, committed to get

293
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: to Israel bunker buster bombs. That's only for one reason

294
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: from my perspective, and that is he sees that if

295
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: the Iranians has reported are that closed to nuclear weapons,

296
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: he will provide the weaponry that will ensure that we

297
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: don't have a modern day holocaust. But that does not

298
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: help the people that have been displaced from their homes,

299
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: that need food and shelter and bare necessities and medicines.

300
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: And that's what the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

301
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: are providing. Thanks to your generosity and through your gift,

302
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: you are standing with the people of Israel as they

303
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: battle radical Islamic terrorists, and please help us help them.

Speaker 1: Jimmy is gone out of fake news CNN. He apparently

310
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: was offered the midnight to two am slot. You know,

311
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 1: I had a little rowback with Jim Acosta a while ago.

312
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: He's a radical left wing democratic supporting Trump hating talk

313
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: show host. And this has been part of CNN's problem.

314
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: I mean, there's an article out. You know, we're we

315
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: now on a nightly basis, are beating fake news CNN

316
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: by seven, eight, nine, ten times. What their audiences are

317
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: MS has a little cult audience of real radical, conspiracy

318
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: believing leftists, you know that want to call Trump a

319
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Nazi and a fascist and a racist and compare him

320
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: to Hitler, Stalin, a Mussolini. But there's not a very

321
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: big audience for that, and Joe Concho is making this

322
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: point yesterday, but you know he is leaving, and the

323
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: way they say, oh, they want to throw a bone

324
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. No, he fired himself. And this is

325
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: what I've been saying about, you know, being at the

326
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: forefront of new media in many ways. When I got

327
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: into talk radio, there were hardly in any talk stations

328
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: or news talk stations in the country. The first foray

329
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: into new media really was talk radio. And then we

330
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: had bloggers, and then we had Free Republic back in

331
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: the day, and forms began to pop up, and social

332
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: media began to take off, and podcasting began to take off, etc.

333
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: And anyway, so this goes back. I think that August

334
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, he attacked me as a propagandist for

335
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: profit pedaling lies every night and saying I was injecting

336
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: poison into the political bloodstream. He was actually describing himself.

337
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: I responded at the time, called him a liberal partisan

338
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: hack and declaring that he was you know, he was

339
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: accused me of I don't remember. Anyway, what was interesting

340
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: about this exchange is, you know, he goes on to

341
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: say and make a prediction that you know, I'm confident

342
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: in the long run, the truth is going to prevail. Well,

343
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: I would argue the truth has prevailed. You know. One

344
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: of the things we take very seriously on this program

345
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: and on Hannity the TV show, is we like to

346
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: get things right. We work hard to get things right.

347
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: I've told this story many times about Richard Jewel. I

348
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: did not believe he fit the profile of the lone

349
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: bomber at the Olympic, at the Olympic bombing in Atlanta,

350
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: just because he lived with his mother. I didn't rush

351
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: to judgment. We didn't rush to judgment in Ferguson. We

352
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: didn't rush the judgment with George Zimmermann. We didn't rush

353
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: the judgment with Duke Lacrosse. We didn't rush the judgment

354
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: with Freddie Gray. We didn't rush the judgment with UVA

355
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: or the Russia hoax, or or Faiza abuse or the

356
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: fifty one former Intel officials. We have a track record

357
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: of telling truth to our audience because that is a

358
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: primary role. I believe to have any credibility if you're

359
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: in the media, whether as a member of the press.

360
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: I'm a talk show host that is very upfront and

361
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: honest about my opinions and that's one of the big distinctions. Also,

362
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: they say that they are journalists. Jim Acosta fancies himself

363
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: a journalist and he's not. And all his time when

364
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in his first term, would go to the podium,

365
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: his only goal was to get his viral moment of

366
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: the day that fake news CNN would run to death

367
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: of him confronting Donald Trump and being combative. By the way,

368
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: Caroline Levit crushed it today her first day on the

369
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: job as the White House Press Secretary. She'll be on

370
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: Hannaday tonight as well. Christy Nomas on she was on

371
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: that raid. As I mentioned earlier in the program, She's

372
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: going to be on tonight. But he got fired. And anyway,

373
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: we do have Jim Acosta announcing he's leaving. Listen, let's listen.

374
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: I just wanted to end today's show by thanking all

375
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: of the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at

376
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: this network. You may have seen some reports about me

377
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: and the show, and after giving all of this some

378
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 2: careful consideration and weighing an alternative time slot, seeing an

379
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: offer me, I've decided to move on. I am grateful

380
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: to CNN for the nearly eighteen years I've spent here

381
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 2: doing the news as the son of a Cuban refugee.

382
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: I took home this lesson. It is never a good

383
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: time to bow down to a tyrant. I've always believed

384
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: it's the job of the press to hold power to account.

385
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 2: I've always tried to do that here at CNN, and

386
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: I plan on doing all of that in the future.

387
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: One final message, don't give into the lies. Don't give

388
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: into the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope.

389
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 2: Even if you have to get out your phone, record

390
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: that message. I will not give into the lies. I

391
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: will not give into the fear. Posted on your social

392
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 2: media so people can hear from you too.

393
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: People are saying, don'ma the door hit you in the

394
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: ass on the way out now. I don't take joy.

395
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: I can see Linda through this microphone. You're smiling. I

396
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: really don't. I know my success in radio or TV

397
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: and media is not going to be based on other

398
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: people's failure, but it is. That message alone just tells

399
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: you everything you need to know about Jim Acosta. Jim

400
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: Acosta is a radical leftist. You know Kamala Biden Trump hating.

401
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: You know a talk show host that claims to be,

402
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: you know, have a monopoly on truth. If he did,

403
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be suffering in the ratings the way he is.

404
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: His network wouldn't be suffering as poorly as they are.

405
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: You know, if you want to be successful in media,

406
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: you better start telling people truth. They didn't tell the

407
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: American people about the truth regarding the border and terrorists

408
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: and murderers and rapists and cartel members and others coming

409
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: into the country. They didn't tell the American people the

410
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: truth about the economy and the high price of gasoline.

411
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: All they did was they became an extension of the

412
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: Biden Harris White House and that's it. And they claimed

413
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: to be journalists and they used every ounce of energy

414
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 1: and power that they had to destroy Donald Trump. And

415
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: the big takeaway from this election is the American people

416
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: rejected them. Now he's out of a job. He's leaving

417
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: a network that has very few to almost zero viewers.

418
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: And this they have earned this reputation. And I will

419
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: tell you, we're just going to double down on telling truth.

420
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: And whether it's about Republicans, it doesn't matter anyway. Let's

421
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: get to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine four

422
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: one Sean. If you want to be a part of

423
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: the program. Let us go to Joe and Texas. Hey, Joe,

424
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? Sir?

425
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 5: Thank you, sir. I appreciate you taking my call. Congratulations

426
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 5: on your You're lovely future bride brightens up my morning

427
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 5: every day when I watch her, I feel remiss when.

428
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: Beginning to get a complex. Everybody likes her better than me,

429
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: even my own kids.

430
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 5: Well, I like you too. Sorry. I listened to you

431
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 5: in the afternoons and I try to watch you in

432
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 5: the evening time, but sometimes it's difficult because I work nights.

433
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 5: So but I appreciate the fact that you're having these

434
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 5: town halls, and I think it's about time, and it's

435
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 5: been kicked around, and I'm tired of the Democrats telling

436
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 5: me that they're going to go after the rich people

437
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 5: to pay their fair share of taxes, which never happens.

438
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 5: I've heard it since I was eighteen years old. I

439
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 5: missed by one year for voting for Ford and in

440
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 5: his re election campaign, but I've heard it all along,

441
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 5: and we all know that they're not going to do that.

442
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 5: They're not going to bite the hand that feeds them.

443
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 5: So what my idea is is that. I think it's

444
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 5: about time, and it's been kicked around for a long

445
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 5: time for a national tax. The national tax would be

446
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: something that everybody pays, we get rid of the irs,

447
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 5: and there's all a fair share. It's figured out. I

448
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 5: figured out probably about twenty eight percent. Now. I know

449
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 5: the people in New York and California that pay the

450
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 5: highest taxes, they're going to have to pay more, but

451
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 5: at least they don't have to. They can look at

452
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 5: it from a savings that there's no more income tax

453
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 5: to pay for anymore. I think that here in Texas

454
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 5: where I live, that we have the right idea, unlike

455
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 5: some other states that charge tax for everything but staples

456
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 5: that you have milk, bread, vegetables, meat, things like that

457
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 5: that are non taxable, along with milk for babies. I

458
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 5: think we ought to add diapers to that because diapers

459
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 5: are really expensive. But when you talk to those people

460
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 5: that you have in the town hall, it's time for

461
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 5: a national sales tax. That way, we don't have to

462
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 5: worry about cheaters, we don't have to worry about money

463
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 5: going overseas. Everybody pays their fair share. There's three hundred

464
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 5: and twelve million people in the United States are more

465
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 5: and they can all pay. I am sorry that the

466
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 5: little kids have to pay for their candy and other

467
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 5: things like that. It's it's it's about time we have

468
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 5: eight a quarter. I think it is.

469
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: Anyway, well, let me let me let me echo your sentiment.

470
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: I would I would you you made every good argument

471
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: for the well. Neil Boortz wrote a book. He's a

472
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: talk show host. He was naturally syndicated, but he was

473
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: out of Atlanta, and and we're good friends to this day.

474
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: And he's retired now. And and he wrote a book

475
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: and became a number one best seller called The Fair Tax,

476
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: making the case as eloquently as you do. And I

477
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: would like to see that. And maybe that's a question

478
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: I need to start bringing up, kind of like I

479
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: used to talk a lot about the Penny plan. You

480
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: cut a penny out of every dollar, you eliminate baseline budgeting,

481
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: you get to a balanced budget in seven years. It's

482
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: probably the Nickel plan at this point, considering we have

483
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: so much more debt than than at the time that

484
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: that was proposed. But and and then growing out of

485
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: our of our debt is a big part of the

486
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: equation as well. And that's growing the economy. I think

487
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: it's going to help with not having a corporate minimum

488
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: tax and energy dominance. But I think you're right. I

489
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: think it's time to maybe bring that question back up.

490
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll have Neilon to talk about it. You raise

491
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: a good point. I'm not against it. I think it's

492
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: a good idea and maybe whose time has come. I'm

493
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: not sure the country. And I would say this to

494
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: Neil all the time. He didn't like it when I

495
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: said it, but I said, I don't think the country's

496
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: ready for it, and I don't think there's enough political

497
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: will for it. And maybe this time, being so transformative,

498
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: may maybe it's a time to revisit it for sure. Anyway,

499
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate you call my friend. I got to move on.

500
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine four one Shawn is our number.

501
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: Quick break right back, will continue.

502
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 4: Transmit into over seven hundred radio stations.

503
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: Wow.

504
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 6: Wow, this is a Sean Hannity show.

505
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: Alright, let's get back to our busy phones. Eight hundred

506
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: and ninety four one Seawan our number. If you want

507
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, Let's say hi

508
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: to Sally. She's in my free state of Florida. How

509
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: are you, Sally, glad you.

510
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 6: Called, hey son, thank you for having me on. I

511
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 6: really appreciate it. First time caller, by the way, on

512
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: this thank you to day in our wonderful state. So

513
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 6: I agreed with some of the things you said yesterday

514
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 6: and something I didn't agree with. First of all, we

515
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 6: have to keep our kids safe. I agree with metal

516
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 6: detectors and all that, just to take care of our kids.

517
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 6: But I did not agree with armed school resource officer

518
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 6: on every campus, simply because Marjorie Stoneman Douglas had an

519
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 6: active sheriff armed at the school and thirty four people

520
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 6: were shot, seventeen died. And that's in our state as well.

521
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 6: So I don't know that an armed teacher is the

522
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 6: right answer.

523
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that art. I didn't say armed teachers.

524
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: I was very clearer. What I always want is in

525
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: every school. I would want metal detectors. This way kids

526
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: can't bring weapons into school. I would want I would

527
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: want retired police, retired military, by the way, in civilian clothing,

528
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: they don't have to be in military garb. And I

529
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: would want them surrounding the perimeter of the school and

530
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: also inside the school, so it would be a comprehensive. Now,

531
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: one way to pay for it, which I've thought about too,

532
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: is these school districts. You know, maybe we take away

533
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: any federal income tax for the rest of their lives

534
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: if they offer X number of hours of service a

535
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: week to their local school. I bet you people would

536
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: sign up left and right if they had no state tax,

537
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: no federal income tax, and they just had to serve

538
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: a few hours a week at a school, maybe a

539
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: day a week, and get enough people. I bet a

540
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: lot of people retired would sign up. That would keep

541
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: these kids safe. And I don't think we'd ever have

542
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: a school shooting again. So do you still disagree with

543
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: me or.

544
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 6: I do not disagree. I just wanted to point out

545
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 6: we did have an armed resource officer at Marjorie Stoneman

546
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 6: Douglas School.

547
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: But there was also one instance where there was a

548
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: school shooting and there was no schools allowed on the

549
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: campus and one of the teachers ran out to his car,

550
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: got a gun and was able to stop that shooting.

551
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: So it kind of works and reverse.

552
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 5: Too, right.

553
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 6: Just have to have good people behind the gun. That's

554
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 6: the big problem.

555
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: That's why I want I want trained retired you know,

556
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: professionals in that capacity. No, and I think, and then

557
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: we won't have school shooting. We can eliminate school shootings

558
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: in my view forever, and we can protect our kids.

559
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: By the way, how do we protect our politicians? How

560
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: do Hollywood actors and celebrities get protected? Most of them

561
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: have arm guards with them. We can protect everybody, and

562
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 1: I'd like to do that, and our kids deserve it.

563
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: If our politicians have it, certainly our kids deserve it

564
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: as well. The least we can do. I wish i'd

565
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: more time. I do appreciate your call and thank you

566
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: for disagreeing with me and telling everybody honestly, we need

567
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: a good, you know, vibrant, vigorous debate in this country

568
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: on all these issues. I want to solve problems. I

569
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: don't want to kids have to having to worry about it,

570
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, lunatic with a gun, you know, coming into

571
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: their classroom and just shooting up their friends,
