Speaker 1: All right, Leonard skinnered simple man that can only mean
Speaker 1: one thing on this radio program. That is all things
Speaker 1: self proclaimed simple man that means all things Bill O'Reilly,
Speaker 1: all things Bill O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly dot com. Author
Speaker 1: of the number one New York Times bestseller seller just
Speaker 1: now Confronting Evil. Congratulations, mister O'Reilly. This book is legs
Speaker 1: and it's staying right at the top of the New
Speaker 1: York Times bestseller list. Eric Trump did bump you out
Speaker 1: of the number one spot, but I think after the
Speaker 1: run you've had you doing pretty well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry for Eric, So that's okay.
Speaker 3: What do you mean What do you mean you feel
Speaker 3: sorry for Eric? No, you don't.
Speaker 1: You're so freaking competitive, you know, even though you were
Speaker 1: number one for weeks, it irritates you, admit it.
Speaker 2: Not really, I'm absolutely fine with free competition. You had
Speaker 2: Eric Trump on your show, I had him on mind.
Speaker 2: I like him because he's feisty, you know how he
Speaker 2: gets involved in whatever the conversation is ont LA next
Speaker 2: week because they bought Confronting Evil for the movies, and
Speaker 2: we're trying to figure out who the narrator is going
Speaker 2: to be. Might remember that I'm killing Lincoln. The film
Speaker 2: was Tom Hanks, who did a very good job.
Speaker 1: All right, mister O'Reilly, I got two big, big topics
Speaker 1: for you. Number one is the Schumer shutdown, and by
Speaker 1: all indications, Democrats are getting very, very nervous and they're
Speaker 1: starting to crumble. Let me play the fake news. CNN
Speaker 1: data guru even admitting that Republicans have been rising in
Speaker 1: popularity because of the Democratic shutdown. Listen, take a look
Speaker 1: here the shift in that popularity versus pre shutdown. I'm
Speaker 1: on the g when we're looking at the Republican Party overall.
Speaker 3: That brand actually up two points. That's within the margin enviarrap,
Speaker 3: but clearly it has come over to this side of
Speaker 3: the screen.
Speaker 4: Look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress.
Speaker 3: It's actually up five points since pre shutdown.
Speaker 1: So what we're seeing here is the Republican brand in
Speaker 1: Congress has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were
Speaker 1: pre shutdown. All right, the exact opposite of what happened
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. Now, last week they had an opportunity
Speaker 1: the Democrats did to pay the military. They passed on that.
Speaker 1: Yesterday they had an opportunity to extend snap benefits, which
Speaker 1: impacts forty two million Americans.
Speaker 3: Those are food stamps.
Speaker 1: Now today they decided, uh oh, maybe this is bad,
Speaker 1: and they're going to propose their bill to do exactly
Speaker 1: what they voted against yesterday. And they have now been
Speaker 1: saying the quiet part out loud. We have congressmen and
Speaker 1: women that we played on this program that have said it.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Chris Coons, the Senator, said the quiet part out loud,
Speaker 1: that the shutdown is their only quote.
Speaker 3: Lets Bridge listen.
Speaker 4: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Frankly,
Speaker 4: this is our only moment of leverage. And although a
Speaker 4: very unpleasant tool to use, it's gotten us focused on
Speaker 4: what we have to do to change direction on healthcare.
Speaker 1: So if it means forty two million Americans lose their
Speaker 1: benefits on Saturday, that's their leverage. And they've said it openly.
Speaker 1: How do you see this playing out? And I think
Speaker 1: rightly so. Chuck Schumer's begainst ben again shutdowns his whole life,
Speaker 1: and we've played montage after montage and now here he
Speaker 1: is giving into the radical wing of his party and
Speaker 1: they're admitting, well, they're only doing it for leverage.
Speaker 2: Look at the big picture. So the Democrats are getting
Speaker 2: really hammered on pretty much every front, with one exception
Speaker 2: higher food prices, but everything else is going pretty well
Speaker 2: for the Trump White House and the Republican Party. So
Speaker 2: they had to make a stand. And that's what Schumer
Speaker 2: has done about healthcare that they're the party that are
Speaker 2: more generous in providing health benefits to Americans. The problem
Speaker 2: is it's a bogus story because Obamacare, which is based
Speaker 2: on is totally out of control financially. And what the
Speaker 2: Democrats one is what people don't understand. They want something
Speaker 2: very specific. During COVID, there were price rises for people
Speaker 2: that didn't have a lot of money. Okay, there were
Speaker 2: extensions of Obamacare, higher brackets, lower deductibles, all that cost
Speaker 2: the federal government billions of dollars. Those were supposed to
Speaker 2: roll back after COVID expired. And that's what the Democrats
Speaker 2: don't want. They want those COVID extensions to continue, adding
Speaker 2: almost a trillion dollars to the budget that were isn't there, okay,
Speaker 2: and we have a thirty eight trillion dollar debt. That's
Speaker 2: what most people don't understand. It's a very specific play there.
Speaker 1: But they're also in their proposal because it's one point
Speaker 1: five trillion that they're demanding to keep the government open
Speaker 1: for a whopping seven weeks. Included in that is hundreds
Speaker 1: of billions for healthcare for illegals. Yes, you're right about
Speaker 1: extending what should have been temporary. You know, the added
Speaker 1: COVID benefits. That that's people above eight hundred percent above
Speaker 1: the poverty line. Bill that's that's a lot of money
Speaker 1: we cannot afford, as you rightly put point out. But
Speaker 1: then they also want to fund PBS and NPR. That's
Speaker 1: part of their package as well. I'm part of the
Speaker 1: demand as well.
Speaker 2: That is the most important thing about what you just raised.
Speaker 2: Suan knew the Republicans, we're never gonna okay that ever
Speaker 2: in a million years. You couldn't be in the Republican
Speaker 2: Party and vote to that. There's a new study I'm
Speaker 2: leading with it on the new Spin News tonight. Welcome
Speaker 2: pax pac. Have you ever heard of that?
Speaker 1: Yes, they did a study so the way, and they
Speaker 1: did hundreds of thousands of people, and they concluded, after
Speaker 1: interviewing all these people, seventy percent of the country views
Speaker 1: the Democrats as out of touch.
Speaker 3: And extreme right.
Speaker 2: But why because exactly what you said that the Democratic
Speaker 2: Party continues to push benefits for undocumented migrants and does
Speaker 2: not want any immigration reform. So most Americans will coil
Speaker 2: on both of those fronts. So sevent not just Democrats.
Speaker 2: So everybody that was surveyed by this group, this group say, look,
Speaker 2: Democratic Party is just out of touch with America. We
Speaker 2: want reliefs at the grocery store. Our pri is already
Speaker 2: coming down, gas price is coming down, and that looks
Speaker 2: like a good trend. I think that's going to hold.
Speaker 2: And we want affordable healthcare. We don't want tillions of
Speaker 2: dollars being spent on these politically correct, woke programs which
Speaker 2: the Democrats love, the progressive movement loves, and that is
Speaker 2: going to destroy them. Next week, I think the Republican
Speaker 2: is going to win the governorship in New Jersey next week.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I will be in New Jersey tomorrow,
Speaker 1: mister Riley, and I'm doing a town hall with Jack Chitdarelli.
Speaker 1: And the only reason, you know, look, I admit when
Speaker 1: I make a mistake, and I made a mistake.
Speaker 3: I saw the polls. I believe them.
Speaker 1: Four years ago, I didn't see a shot for Jack Chittarelli,
Speaker 1: and I basically ignored the race.
Speaker 3: I talked about it a little bit, not a lot.
Speaker 1: I didn't go all in, and there are two poles
Speaker 1: that have at a one point race, including people I
Speaker 1: really respect, like Matt Towery and Robert ka Haley. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a town hall in New Jersey tomorrow,
Speaker 1: and by the way, if you want to come here,
Speaker 1: I'll make sure you get a free ticket, although I
Speaker 1: think all the tickets are taken. It's in Point Pleasant,
Speaker 1: New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Oh, I headed up there is sure? Are you going
Speaker 2: down there right?
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm dude, I'm gonna get tatted up and
Speaker 1: I'm going to hang out of this Jersey shore.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: That I've been going to give out pork roles to
Speaker 1: everybody too, because apparently Mikey Cheryl has no idea what
Speaker 1: they are. She has no idea what she got seven
Speaker 1: million dollars and no idea why she didn't walk with
Speaker 1: her graduating class at the Naval Academy.
Speaker 2: Well, it's really interesting to see and I you know,
Speaker 2: I wish you the best with your town hall. If
Speaker 2: she rarely wins the governorship. In man Donnie wins the
Speaker 2: mayor race in New York City, You're gonna have a
Speaker 2: tremendous tension between the two entities because about five hundred
Speaker 2: thousand New Jersey it's commuted to New York every day.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's going to be attention, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you it's going to be beneficiaries. Bruce Blakeman,
Speaker 1: Nassau County Executive, the Nassau County, Suffolk County Executive. Westchester
Speaker 1: will benefit, Upstate New York will benefit, and New Jersey
Speaker 1: will benefit when Mam Donnie wins, which is my topic
Speaker 1: number two. Bill O'Reilly correct me if I'm wrong. But
Speaker 1: there are two polls in two days that came out
Speaker 1: this week. One had Mamdannie up by ten and the
Speaker 1: other had him up by fifteen. You tell me it
Speaker 1: seems pretty inevitable at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I predicted yesterday that he's going to win. And I
Speaker 2: had a very serious conversation with my daughter, who's twenty
Speaker 2: six years old, is on the Upper East Side, an attorney,
Speaker 2: and I said, look, if this guy wins, your lifestyle
Speaker 2: has changed because crime, violent crime is going to be
Speaker 2: a factor in your life. You're not going to be
Speaker 2: able to go out by yourself at night or even twilight.
Speaker 3: And I'm curious.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get any personal life at all.
Speaker 1: And you do have great kids. I know your son
Speaker 1: better than your daughter. Your son's a great kid, and
Speaker 1: he's very bright and very smart, very athletic, good kid.
Speaker 1: But from all you've told me, she's an amazing girl.
Speaker 1: And I mean that scares me. To have a young
Speaker 1: any young woman or any woman in the city right now,
Speaker 1: that scares.
Speaker 3: The hell out of me.
Speaker 2: And she lives in a fairly affluent part of Manhattan.
Speaker 2: And I don't understand the people living in the poor
Speaker 2: areas how they think that this is not going to
Speaker 2: affect them and their children directly. When the police, the NYPD,
Speaker 2: are ten thousand down from where they should be. I mean,
Speaker 2: Dommy wants to cut a billion dollars out of their budget.
Speaker 2: That means they're not going to be able to respond
Speaker 2: to nine to one one calls.
Speaker 1: All right, quick break right back, all things simple, man,
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly on the other side, and then we'll get
Speaker 1: to your calls. Eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean,
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: Congressman James Comer coming up as well.
Speaker 2: Keeping the Truth Alive. Sanity is on right.
Speaker 1: Now, I opinion, Now all things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly,
Speaker 1: All things O'Reilly at Billoreilly dot com.
Speaker 3: This is infuriating to me.
Speaker 1: All this last minute pressure, you know, and panic that
Speaker 1: is set in by people. Oh, Curtis has to get
Speaker 1: out of the race, et cetera, et cetera. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: where was the panic after mom Donnie won the Democratic primary.
Speaker 1: I'm like, all of a sudden two and a half
Speaker 1: weeks out of the election, All of a sudden, now
Speaker 1: you're realizing that this guy's about to be the next mayor.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: To me, all of these people that have, you know,
Speaker 1: this last minute panic are not credible to me because
Speaker 1: I'm like, what part of this or you have you
Speaker 1: not been able to see? Are your eyes you know blind?
Speaker 1: Are your your eyes closed?
Speaker 3: Do you not see? Pomo has been lazy in his campaigning.
Speaker 2: Well of the New York electorate were born out of
Speaker 2: the country and that separated.
Speaker 1: That's a bit, by the way, that is a true statistic.
Speaker 1: I cited it myself.
Speaker 2: Well, if you hear it from me. You know it's true, Henry.
Speaker 3: Good grief. Can you ever stop? Can you just stop
Speaker 3: for a minute.
Speaker 2: That's the difference. And look, there are strongholds of progressivism
Speaker 2: in this country, but the rest of the country is
Speaker 2: rejecting it. It's very interesting to watch the strong that's Boston,
Speaker 2: New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, La, the big urban centers.
Speaker 2: But the rest of the country, including it looks like
Speaker 2: New Jersey, all right, is saying, you know, this is
Speaker 2: dangerous this air.
Speaker 1: Right, here's the broader question, bigger picture. I want the
Speaker 1: you know, the view from forty thousand feet. I think
Speaker 1: this is going to be this one of the most single,
Speaker 1: most destructive things for the Democratic Party. They will misinterpret
Speaker 1: the results. They think they will think this is now
Speaker 1: the direction the party needs the head, and they will
Speaker 1: ignore the fact that New Jersey and Virginia should not
Speaker 1: be close as they are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Virginia, I'm worried about because the center of that
Speaker 2: is northern Virginia. They all work in DC. But let
Speaker 2: me give you one thing that you can take away
Speaker 2: from me, Donnie. Governor Vocal is a terrible governor, all right.
Speaker 2: He's not as bad as Pritzker and Newsom, but she's close.
Speaker 2: She posed her a picture with man Donnie arms raised.
Speaker 2: Did you see that picture?
Speaker 1: I saw get booed off the stage and she didn't
Speaker 1: realize she was being boots.
Speaker 3: She thought they were saying, let's go bills.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you'll see that picture next year when she's
Speaker 2: up for reelection. She'll lose. That picture is going to
Speaker 2: assure her defeat.
Speaker 1: It doesn't by the way, it doesn't mean a Republican
Speaker 1: come win New York. There's too many people like me
Speaker 1: that have packed and left. Wall Street South is real.
Speaker 1: We have had many discussions about this, and I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now I know companies and people. If this
Speaker 1: guy's elected, they're out. They may move to the suburbs.
Speaker 2: I live eight months from the Queen border, and my
Speaker 2: home value is going up twenty percent.
Speaker 1: Sell it now at it's high before, and otherwise you're
Speaker 1: going to regret it.
Speaker 3: O'Riley. I'll find you a nice place where.
Speaker 2: I live well. And National is the safest county in
Speaker 2: the country, So I'm okay.
Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman's awesome. He's awesome. Love Bruce Blakeman.
Speaker 2: Your job, and so's the police. Commissioner Patrick right agreed.
Speaker 1: All right, mister O'Reilly, appreciate you. Thank you all things
Speaker 1: simple man, Bill O'Reilly or billoreilly dot com. Listen if
Speaker 1: you are if you are a family member or a friend,
Speaker 1: and they ask your advice about Okay, I've got problems

Speaker 1: of thousands of complaints?

Speaker 1: I have told you about Rush Tax Resolution dot Com.

Speaker 1: They specialize in business payroll, high dollar personal cases, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna help. They're the pro eight two nine nine
Speaker 1: eighty seventy seven Rush Tax Resolution dot Com. I meant
Speaker 1: to get to this yesterday. It is it is beyond
Speaker 1: frustrating that the left in this country has the constant
Speaker 1: dehumanizing and insightful comments and comparisons to Hitler don't stop.
Speaker 1: But the worst, worst part of it is they're lying
Speaker 1: about even saying it. I mean, they're so disconnected from reality.
Speaker 1: Here's Nicole Wallace. I remember she used to run John
Speaker 1: McCain and Sarah Palin's presidential campaign.
Speaker 3: What happened to her? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe she's like Liberal Joe and wants a career in television.
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but she's not the person that
Speaker 1: I once knew. And she said, oh no, I don't
Speaker 1: know a single person that's ever used a Hitler analogy.
Speaker 6: I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler.
Speaker 3: Would I don't think any Democrat has.
Speaker 4: I actually and I and I think it's a it's
Speaker 4: a smear that they project back on to critics.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think any Democrat has. Really, he was
Speaker 1: interviewing that idiot JB. Pritzker. You know, five times the
Speaker 1: murder rate in Illinois, the homicide rate in Illinois over
Speaker 1: New York City. Now, I'm saying a lot. And anyway,
Speaker 1: let's just play JB. Pritzker and all the times he
Speaker 1: has made this idiotic analogy himself.
Speaker 3: Listen, I studied the Holocaust.
Speaker 6: I'd helped to build a Holocaust museum. This is what
Speaker 6: happened in the early days of the Nazi regime in Germany.
Speaker 5: Everything that he.
Speaker 6: Has done has been tearing down constitutional democracy. And that's
Speaker 6: what happened in Nazi Germany. It doesn't take very long
Speaker 6: to tear apart a constitutional republic. Indeed, the Nazis did
Speaker 6: it in fifty three days, and our democracy is almost
Speaker 6: as fragile, and we're seeing it right now. The dangers
Speaker 6: that we saw in Nazi Germany, especially in the earliest
Speaker 6: days of Nazi Germany, are the dangers that we need
Speaker 6: to react to now. People have criticized me for talking
Speaker 6: about the Nazi regime. It's the one I know most
Speaker 6: about because I helped to build a Holocaust museum. This
Speaker 6: is what happened. People's rights started getting taken away, people
Speaker 6: got accused of being immigrants. This is before the Holocaust
Speaker 6: really took place. There are lots of authoritarians that I
Speaker 6: could point to. It happens that I know best because
Speaker 6: I helped build a Holocaust museum sitting next to Holocaust survivors.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something you used to be. You
Speaker 1: don't make Nazi comparisons. You don't call somebody a Nazi
Speaker 1: because you're talking about a mass murderer, and you don't
Speaker 1: hide behind and well, I helped build the Holocaust Museum
Speaker 1: as a means of justifying the false use of that term,
Speaker 1: because that is the embodiment of evil, and it's not
Speaker 1: just Pritzker. You know, you would think that over at
Speaker 1: MSDNC that maybe they might do a little homework before
Speaker 1: they're interviewing somebody like JB. Pritzker and about the rhetoric
Speaker 1: and the language, as insightful as it is and as
Speaker 1: dehumanizing as it is while we're living in assassination culture.
Speaker 1: But it's not just Pritzker, it's all the Democrats. Listen,
Speaker 1: we have a Timol Hitler in.
Speaker 3: The White House right now.
Speaker 4: I don't even know what's a column. I've called him
Speaker 4: so many things, but do want to be Hitler for sure?
Speaker 3: Comparing the tactics of Donald Trump to Mussolini and Hitler
Speaker 3: as a very legitimate thing.
Speaker 6: Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump
Speaker 6: is a fascist?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 7: Donald Trump's modern dascopo is scooping folks up the streets.
Speaker 2: He is paving the way to become a Vladimir Putin,
Speaker 2: or to become an Adolph Hitler or Kim Jong Un.
Speaker 3: That's what he wants to be.
Speaker 4: Is that not going too far to make a comparison
Speaker 4: between the President of the United States and the Nazis.
Speaker 3: Find me a better analogy. Well, Hitler was duly elected, right, Okay?
Speaker 1: Can we be any more clear, Frank in New York.
Speaker 1: What's up, Frank, New York, New York, what's going on?
Speaker 8: Hello, Sean. I wanted to continue on with the conversation
Speaker 8: regarding him on DAMI so as I understand it, and
Speaker 8: it's been said many times, the Marxist agenda that he
Speaker 8: may try to push as mayor in New York City,
Speaker 8: there's state, city, and federal laws that are literally gonna
Speaker 8: fizzle this thing out. But I noticed that there's a
Speaker 8: lot of talk in the media among politicians that actually
Speaker 8: show the worry about this guy being in office. I'm
Speaker 8: curious as to why that worry exists if he can't
Speaker 8: really well, let me.
Speaker 1: Ask you a question, why if somebody tells you what
Speaker 1: they're going to do, why do you not believe that
Speaker 1: that's the agenda they're going to push hard to fulfill.
Speaker 1: Why would you just say, oh, he can't do that.
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that you're right. And especially with
Speaker 1: Kathy Hulkl now scared to death that her reelection is
Speaker 1: coming and she's getting booed off the stage by Mamdannie supporters,
Speaker 1: and she knows her political future like Chuck Schumer knows
Speaker 1: his political futures hanging in the balance, like Hakm Jefferys
Speaker 1: in New York knows his political futures hanging in the balance.
Speaker 8: So what you're saying is is relying on the law
Speaker 8: on the courts, and his limitation of what he can
Speaker 8: do is not something we should necessarily lean on.
Speaker 1: No, not in New York, the state of New York. No,
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. For you're going to count on
Speaker 1: liberal New York justices. The guy that valued mar A
Speaker 1: Lago at what eighteen million dollars when it's a billion
Speaker 1: and a half dollar property and it wouldn't even allow
Speaker 1: our real estate experts to testify. The state that allowed
Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg to take a statute of limitations case that
Speaker 1: was long expired and turned it into thirty four felony counts.
Speaker 1: You're counting on those courts because that's what that that's
Speaker 1: where that these issues will go. You're trusting that that's insanity.
Speaker 1: That's the definition of his insanity. I'm telling you believe
Speaker 1: them when they say it. That's what he believes in,
Speaker 1: that's what he's fighting for, that's what he wants for
Speaker 1: New York City. And I can tell you right now
Speaker 1: and I have article after article in front of me
Speaker 1: today about Mamdani, And I'm telling you companies, people that
Speaker 1: own property, they are preparing their exit.
Speaker 3: They want no part of this.
Speaker 8: Do you think this is going to affect upstate as
Speaker 8: well where I live, Sean, No.
Speaker 1: I actually think it's going to help upstate. I think
Speaker 1: it's going to help Nassau County. Bruce Blakeman's running on
Speaker 1: a campaign, you know, get out of New York and
Speaker 1: move to Nassau County.
Speaker 3: I mean, we just heard from Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 1: He says his property value since Mamdannie brand are up
Speaker 1: twenty percent.
Speaker 8: That's a lot interesting stuff.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm just telling you the idea that you don't
Speaker 1: believe when he says something I think is naive went
Speaker 1: and you know, buckle up because you know, the last
Speaker 1: two poles had him up ten, another one had him
Speaker 1: up fifteen. Do I still hope Curtis Slieba pulls it out,
Speaker 1: Sure I do. But the idea that everybody in only
Speaker 1: the last two to two and a half weeks is
Speaker 1: woken up to the idea that, oh my god, he's
Speaker 1: going to be the next mayor is ridiculous to me.
Speaker 1: We saw this coming a mile away.
Speaker 8: Yep. I appreciate your explanation, Sean, that that makes a
Speaker 8: lot of sense and something that's been on my mind.
Speaker 8: So thank you for that.
Speaker 1: No, I appreciate it, buddy, and listen, I'm saying this
Speaker 1: in all sincerity. Is somebody that grew up in Long Island,
Speaker 1: that worked a lot of years in New York City
Speaker 1: and it just got so bad I had to go.
Speaker 1: I'd walk in a restaurant and I could see I'm
Speaker 1: triggering half the room. You know, if you have eyes
Speaker 1: to see, and you know, people might say, well, are
Speaker 1: your fault. I've been on TV thirty years. I'm very recognizable,
Speaker 1: and when people get disgusted at my very presence, I'm
Speaker 1: putting innocent people with me in jeopardy, and I didn't
Speaker 1: feel comfortable doing that anymore. All Right, my friend, God
Speaker 1: bless you. Florida is a free state. You're welcome. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred nine four one Seawn our number if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Let's go to Pete,
Speaker 1: North Carolina. What's up, Pete? How are you glad you called?
Speaker 5: Jean? Thank you for taking my call. I understand all
Speaker 5: the people that are trying to leave space like New York, California, Illinois.
Speaker 5: I'm just hoping that they don't bring their politics with them.
Speaker 3: I say that all the time.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna move to Florida, Texas, to Carolinas, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: don't bring your idiotic, left wing radicalize policies with you
Speaker 1: and destroy the state you're moving to. There ought to
Speaker 1: be a political litmus test, seriously, because those states are thriving.
Speaker 1: My free state of Florida is thriving. I mean now
Speaker 1: they're going to put a referendum on the ballot to
Speaker 1: reduce property taxes because they've gone up exponentially since COVID.
Speaker 1: And if they cap that, forget it. I mean, Florida
Speaker 1: is golden, good to go. That they've dealt with the
Speaker 1: insurance issue that's been a problem down here and that's
Speaker 1: going to get better. So you know, every state has
Speaker 1: their issues, but law and order is reel down here.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. I was driving one night
Speaker 1: and they had a random stop and the police, you know,
Speaker 1: just making sure everybody's okay.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: And you might be in the country illegally and you
Speaker 1: don't get a driver's license from Florida if you're an
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant. You know, you get that in other states.
Speaker 1: So it's not that we're targeting people. It's just we're
Speaker 1: demanding that people obey the laws and respect our borders
Speaker 1: and our sovereignty. We're enforcing the law of the land.
Speaker 1: It's very different. If you come into this country legally,
Speaker 1: I say, God bless you. We just need to vet
Speaker 1: you to a background check, a health check, make sure
Speaker 1: you're not going to be a financial burden on the
Speaker 1: American people. That's all we want. Then, I don't care
Speaker 1: where you come from. Welcome to our country, absolutely all right,
Speaker 1: my friend hanging in there, back to our busy phones.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred ninety four one Sean is our number. If
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Brian, California,
Speaker 1: It's up, Brian.
Speaker 7: How are you, good day, mister Hannity. I had a
Speaker 7: little comment in Little History on this mom Donnie character
Speaker 7: that the Democrats have as their mayor nominee for the
Speaker 7: mayor of New York, and he has soaked the rich
Speaker 7: to pay for it. Fifth of nineteen ninety, the day
Speaker 7: before the midterm elections, Congress passed a luxury tax surcharge
Speaker 7: on things that rich people bought. If you bought a
Speaker 7: boat over one hundred thousand dollars, a car over thirty
Speaker 7: thousand dollars, a plane over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
Speaker 7: or jewelry over ten thousand dollars. There was a ten
Speaker 7: percent surcharge on it. It was designed to raise about
Speaker 7: nine billion dollars to help offset some of the federal
Speaker 7: budget deficit. And Dan Rostenkowski, who was the congressman from Illinois.
Speaker 1: Is the chairman of the Houseways and Means Committee back
Speaker 1: in the day.
Speaker 7: Arguably the most powerful man in Congress had come up
Speaker 7: with the plane.
Speaker 3: And rushed it through one very powerful.
Speaker 7: So it went into effect on the first of January
Speaker 7: nineteen ninety one. At that time, the boat building industry
Speaker 7: in the United States was the best in the world.
Speaker 1: Okay, he tanked, I'll jump to the conclusion it hanked.
Speaker 1: Afterwards people stop buying boats.
Speaker 7: Well, the rich people have options. In the first quarter
Speaker 7: they dropped by eighty percent.
Speaker 3: And why do you so who gets hurt in that situation?
Speaker 1: Because is it the rich people that say I'm not
Speaker 1: giving you that money, or is it the people that
Speaker 1: build the boats? Hard working men and women that you
Speaker 1: know benefit when rich people buy these.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I hate boats, you know, I can't stand them. I've
Speaker 1: had two little boats in my life. I gave them
Speaker 1: both a way.
Speaker 7: In the first six months, nineteen thousand jobs were lost.
Speaker 7: By the end of two and a half years, over
Speaker 7: fifty thousand jobs were lost. Okay, these were middle class families.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're getting hurt.
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm going to add to what you're saying, because
Speaker 1: you're a thousand percent right, and anyone with basic common
Speaker 1: sense understands you and understands what we're saying.
Speaker 3: But I'm going to say this.
Speaker 1: I am telling this audience it's like we have a
Speaker 1: We're a family. I'm giving you family advice. There's nearly
Speaker 1: eighteen trillion in committ investments in manufacturing that are in
Speaker 1: the pipeline for the next three years. In the One
Speaker 1: Big Beautiful Bill was one hundred percent appreciation for manufacturing.
Speaker 1: That's semiconductor trips, that's pharmaceuticals, that's rare earth minerals, that's automobiles.
Speaker 1: You couple that with the largest tax cut in history.
Speaker 1: When Reagan cut taxes, we created twenty one million new jobs.
Speaker 3: You add to that the.
Speaker 1: Wide open industry now that is energy dominance, and there's
Speaker 1: going to be all high paying career jobs. What I'm
Speaker 1: saying to people that I love and care about, and
Speaker 1: that's all of you in this audience, look at these
Speaker 1: opportunities and make a decision. You might find a career
Speaker 1: job that's going to double or triple your pay, give
Speaker 1: you great benefits, and you'll have a great future for
Speaker 1: you and your family. Get ahead of the curve. Get
Speaker 1: your applications in now, okay, because that money is being spent,
Speaker 1: it's going to be spent quickly. So whatever field of
Speaker 1: endeavor you're most interested in, anyway, you're right one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: The people that are going to get hurt or working
Speaker 1: men and women, I hate to see that. I hate
Speaker 1: it because I lived that life for two decades of
Speaker 1: my life
