Speaker 1: All right, News round Up, Information Overload Hour. Here's a
Speaker 1: toll free telephone number you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program is eight hundred and nine four one
Speaker 1: Sean if you want to join us. Linda, did you
Speaker 1: see last night Graham Platner. You know, I'm not a
Speaker 1: man of God, but amazing grace it starts. You know,
Speaker 1: he's now turning himself into a martyr.
Speaker 2: He's an idiot. Pretty it's actually painful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, for twenty years he has a Nazi tattoo.
Speaker 1: You know, he tells a woman that's raped or women
Speaker 1: in the military, well, maybe you should stop getting so
Speaker 1: effed up and you know, and crying about it, something
Speaker 1: to that effect. I mean, it's horrible, you know, all
Speaker 1: the explicit messages, apparently right after he got married, hanging
Speaker 1: out on websites with a with a towel around him
Speaker 1: where young people frequent Pretty pretty unbelievable, says a US soldier,
Speaker 1: a hero that he doesn't deserve to live, self proclaimed communist,
Speaker 1: blaming sexual assault victims, of course, saying about the people
Speaker 1: of his state that they're stupid and racist. Why would
Speaker 1: you ever why would you ever vote for somebody like that?
Speaker 1: He can't pass a porta potty apparently without getting sexually
Speaker 1: stimulated and going in and having self gratification. And he's
Speaker 1: talked about that. I mean, it's just so bizarre on
Speaker 1: so many levels. I want to play. And then he
Speaker 1: lies through his teeth like crazy, and you know, saying, oh,
Speaker 1: the nature of his wife and his relationship has blown
Speaker 1: out of proportion. This happened long before his marriage, and
Speaker 1: center run. That's not true. It happened after he got married,
Speaker 1: which is why he said he was in therapy.
Speaker 3: Listen, I will just say that the nature of Amy
Speaker 3: and ies relationship has been blown I would stay totally
Speaker 3: out of proportion. Early in our marriage, we had some
Speaker 3: struggles and we worked through them because that's what you
Speaker 3: do when you're in love with somebody, and it made
Speaker 3: our marriage much, frankly, a much happier and communicative couple.
Speaker 3: I was single for the majority of my adult life.
Speaker 3: I was in my twenties and thirties, and I dated.
Speaker 3: And you know, that's in the modern age, that's what happens.
Speaker 3: You date people, and you use dating apps and you
Speaker 3: do all the stuff. And frankly, that all happened long
Speaker 3: before I got married and happened long before he designed
Speaker 3: to run for the United States Senate.
Speaker 1: Then I guess he goes on with Liberal Joe in
Speaker 1: the morning and then he says, there's nothing out there
Speaker 1: that's actually concerning. Really, listen, I.
Speaker 3: Made it clear there's nothing out there that's actually concerning.
Speaker 3: People will make everything seem very concerning because that's what
Speaker 3: people in politics. But you know, I think the thing
Speaker 3: about all of this is what I find to be
Speaker 3: kind of most curious, is this is what everyone wants
Speaker 3: to make the campaign about. So we do not talk
Speaker 3: about the struggles of working.
Speaker 1: Manors anyway here to analyze what impact And we were
Speaker 1: going over this with O'Reilly earlier, But I think it's
Speaker 1: that big story is Steve Robinson of the Main Wire
Speaker 1: and Laurel Libby, Estate Rep from Maine. Okay, I say
Speaker 1: he's lying. What say you, Laurel Libby.
Speaker 4: Well he is lying. But you know, Sean, the scariest
Speaker 4: thing about Graham Platner is not his history in his
Speaker 4: personal life, but it's what he would do if he
Speaker 4: actually got to the Senate. He represents the most extreme
Speaker 4: left of the Democrat Party. He was recruited by Democrats, socialists,
Speaker 4: and he wants to take the same agenda that Donnie
Speaker 4: is executing in New York and bring it to DC.
Speaker 4: That would be disastrous.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean he's a self avowed communist on top
Speaker 1: of everything else. I have been following what you have
Speaker 1: been covering, Steve Robinson of main Wire. You guys have
Speaker 1: been exhaustively examining this guy in his record. What am
Speaker 1: I missing?
Speaker 5: Well, the lies have mounted to the point where you
Speaker 5: can only conclude that this guy is pathological. He's lied
Speaker 5: about how he purchased his home. He's lied about his
Speaker 5: oyster business. Sean in maybe, but by the way.
Speaker 1: He had one customer, his mother, and he was growing
Speaker 1: up a kid of privilege, and he talks about rich
Speaker 1: people as if they are the worst human beings on
Speaker 1: earth and didn't deserve a thing that they got.
Speaker 5: And I would doubt that his mom was even a customer.
Speaker 5: To be honest, you know, nothing about that business really
Speaker 5: adds up. It's not it was a hobby, not a business.
Speaker 5: There's no such thing as an oyster man. No one
Speaker 5: in Maine calls himself an oystermn Graham is the first
Speaker 5: person to do that, and it's part of his New
Speaker 5: York marketing campaign that appeals to out of staters and
Speaker 5: people who lived who moved to Maine to live on
Speaker 5: the coast. So that's the you know, the first lie.
Speaker 1: That's where the lines, well, slow down here. There are
Speaker 1: no oyster men in Maine. I did not know that.
Speaker 1: I know those lobster guys up there. I assume there's
Speaker 1: there's you know, clamming up there, right.
Speaker 5: Yes, so there are there are oyster farmers, there's oyster aquaculture.
Speaker 5: But the term oyster man was invented by this GQ
Speaker 5: columnist who wrote this really homo erotic column about Graham Plattner.
Speaker 5: They've invented this marketing term because they created this guy,
Speaker 5: Tabolo Rossa. They just invented a character around his fake business.
Speaker 5: But that's not that's just the beginning of the lies.
Speaker 5: He lied to The New York Times about how he
Speaker 5: was able to purchase his home. Said it was with
Speaker 5: a VA program, but it was actually a sweetheart mortgage
Speaker 5: from his daddy. He's lied about the number of affairs
Speaker 5: that he's had, his promiscuous sexting. He lied to his
Speaker 5: campaign staff. He continues to lie to his campaign staff.
Speaker 5: He went down to Washington, d c looked all of
Speaker 5: his you know, hopeful future colleagues in the face and said,
Speaker 5: there's nothing more coming out, and then abuse allegations pour
Speaker 5: out in the New York Times of all places. So
Speaker 5: this guy is nothing less than a pathological liar, and
Speaker 5: more is almost guaranteed to come out because if he
Speaker 5: is admitting to having sex relationships, like to sexting with
Speaker 5: at least six people using the kick app, you can
Speaker 5: bet that the number is higher than that. I use
Speaker 5: the beer rule to analyze that. When your wife asks
Speaker 5: you how many beers you have, you divide by three.
Speaker 5: So that's probably there's a lot of women out there
Speaker 5: who the Daily Mail is probably looking to offer some money,
Speaker 5: like they did with Sydney Letters when she was reporting
Speaker 5: on Anthony Wiener.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you to go a little deeper
Speaker 1: in the paint and analyze the race, because you're right,
Speaker 1: Maine is not New York City. Maine is not socialist.
Speaker 1: I think it reminds me a lot of Alaska, rugged individualism.
Speaker 1: People live off the grid. People are tough and hardy,
Speaker 1: and you know they they which is probably why Susan
Speaker 1: Collins has worked out as such a great senator Because
Speaker 1: She is in many ways her own voice and the
Speaker 1: conscience of the people of Maine and wants to reflect
Speaker 1: their values. And it does put her at odds at
Speaker 1: times with the President and Republicans, and she has no
Speaker 1: problem standing independently. But you know, will the people of Maine,
Speaker 1: I mean, these were Democratic primary voters, the most radical
Speaker 1: left voters that went for Platner. Will regular people of
Speaker 1: Maine buy into all of his lying excuse making, his
Speaker 1: behavior and his rough gruff, you know persona.
Speaker 5: Well, I think that the electorate in Maine has changed
Speaker 5: significantly since twenty twenty because of the pandemic. We had
Speaker 5: some of the most extreme left wing voters moved to
Speaker 5: the state and bought you know, coastal mansions where they
Speaker 5: thought they were going to live out the pandemic. They've
Speaker 5: stayed here, They've brought their politics with him, and you
Speaker 5: can see in subsequent elections there's another twenty thousand or
Speaker 5: twenty five thousand hard left, extreme left liberals. So they've
Speaker 5: got that will be Platner's base and they will turn
Speaker 5: out for him. And so this isn't going to be
Speaker 5: a walk off election for Susan Collins. She's probably in
Speaker 5: for the toughest fight of her career. But you have
Speaker 5: to remember she is the best at winning statewide elections
Speaker 5: in Maine in recent campaign history the last three decades.
Speaker 5: No one is better at winning statewide elections than Susan Collins.
Speaker 5: And it's because she has a professional operation and also
Speaker 5: a world class constituent services. Everyone who's ever interacted with
Speaker 5: Senator Collins office leaves with a good experience, and that's
Speaker 5: the kind of thing that you can't really put in
Speaker 5: an advertisement. That's the kind of experience you can't buy,
Speaker 5: and that's how you earn loyalty from voters, whether they're Democrats, Independents,
Speaker 5: or Republicans. And Senator Collins has that.
Speaker 1: What do you think as you listen to this Laurel,
Speaker 1: You know, the average person of Maine. One of the guys,
Speaker 1: a friend of mine I grew up with, lives in
Speaker 1: Maine and he's got along and I call him now
Speaker 1: mountain men, and we have jokes about it, and he
Speaker 1: sends me pictures in the wintertime of these massive snowstorms
Speaker 1: and he loves the life there. And it's not that
Speaker 1: he lives off the land, but he lives a tough life,
Speaker 1: but he loves He loves the outdoors. It's his passion.
Speaker 1: He can't live without it. How will the people of
Speaker 1: Maine react to all of this Platinu information.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the people of Maine are rugged, individualistic,
Speaker 4: We're independent minded folks and common sense. I mean, I
Speaker 4: think we're absorbing a lot of information coming out about Platiner.
Speaker 4: But the thing that I'm bearing in mind as we
Speaker 4: go into this general election is Maners have been suffering
Speaker 4: under the way of governor Democrat governor and Democrat House
Speaker 4: and Senate for the last eight years. And we have
Speaker 4: energy costs that have skyrocketed up forty since twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: We pay sixty three percent of of the national average
Speaker 4: for electricity. If we if you're looking at someone who
Speaker 4: earns under one hundred thousand dollars a year in Maine,
Speaker 4: which is most Maners.
Speaker 5: We pay the.
Speaker 4: Highest state income tax in all of New England. And
Speaker 4: so Maynors are suffering under this weight and most of
Speaker 4: us don't know who to blame. Right You look at
Speaker 4: the who's in charge in the White House and think
Speaker 4: that's who is to blame, But really state government bears
Speaker 4: a responsibility there. Mayners are looking for a savior they think,
Speaker 4: some of them think that that is Grand Platiner. And
Speaker 4: so it's our job to make sure that we expose
Speaker 4: the lies, expose what he really promises, to bring just
Speaker 4: more pain to manors if he ends up in DC,
Speaker 4: so that they stand by their common sense roots and
Speaker 4: vote for Susan Collins.
Speaker 1: Do you think the what did the odds this guy
Speaker 1: can break through? Now we keep hearing and I'll ask
Speaker 1: you about this. You don't mind, Laurel First, what do
Speaker 1: you think is going to happen between now and the
Speaker 1: twenty seventh? Because I think there's going to be a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure brought to bear on Platner by nationalists,
Speaker 1: by some national Democrats quietly that he has a window
Speaker 1: where he could bow out of this race. There's a
Speaker 1: little known provision in Maine that would allow him to
Speaker 1: bow out of the race. Then Democratic operators would pick
Speaker 1: or choose his replacement, which I assume would be the
Speaker 1: current governor Mills. So would he give into that pressure
Speaker 1: with whatever percentage you won with last night seventy five,
Speaker 1: seventy six.
Speaker 4: Percent, I don't see that happening. Based on what we've
Speaker 4: seen of Platner, his ego his hubris. He thinks he's
Speaker 4: indestructible because his base loves him even more with every
Speaker 4: scandal that appears. I don't see him dropping out unless
Speaker 4: something actually straight up illegal comes out, more legal than
Speaker 4: buying drugs in foreign countries, which he's already you know.
Speaker 1: And do you agree with me that a lot of
Speaker 1: this zop research did not come from Republicans, that it
Speaker 1: all came from Democrats trying to push him out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's been a mixed bag. Everybody has
Speaker 4: their own reason to want Platner out of the race,
Speaker 4: and so that's surprising to me that we didn't see
Speaker 4: more of this come out when Mills was in the race,
Speaker 4: because you know, the results last night might have been
Speaker 4: a little bit different had it come out earlier.
Speaker 1: Let's get your final thoughts if you don't mind, Steve Robinson,
Speaker 1: and by the way, I urge people to read the
Speaker 1: main Wire if you want to know about Plattner.
Speaker 5: Well, I would agree with everything Laurel said, but you know,
Speaker 5: I think that Plattner has reached his ceiling here and
Speaker 5: it's going to take a little while for people in
Speaker 5: Maine to learn exactly who he is. And the shock
Speaker 5: factor of you know, having the Nazi tattoo isn't the
Speaker 5: significant thing here. The significant thing here is that he's
Speaker 5: lied about it over and over and over again. And
Speaker 5: I think that there's plenty of time remaining to convince
Speaker 5: people that I is a pathological liar, and more information
Speaker 5: is going to come out, not through partisan opposition research
Speaker 5: or hit jobs, but just through good old fashioned research journalism.
Speaker 5: I mean, like, we found and reported that Graham Platner
Speaker 5: was the running of paramilitary training for the Socialist Rifle
Speaker 5: Association of Maine. He admits to this in his Reddit thread,
Speaker 5: his infamous Reddit thread, but we also found pictures of
Speaker 5: him on the range training a far left Antifa type
Speaker 5: group how to take rifle shots that human shaped targets
Speaker 5: from seventy five yards out, and he calls him self
Speaker 5: defense training courses. So the amount of potential stories for
Speaker 5: a willing journalist to find in Graham Platner's background, I
Speaker 5: think there's a lot a lot there. And we still
Speaker 5: haven't heard, by the way, from anyone who served with
Speaker 5: him in the military, which I find very curious.
Speaker 1: Will you please keep up the great work if people
Speaker 1: want to read about what you're printing about him. Where
Speaker 1: can they get main.
Speaker 5: Wire everything that vnamewire dot com?
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate you also, Laurel Libby, State Rep. Romaine.
Speaker 1: Thank you both. We will follow this very closely all
Speaker 1: the developments, especially now through the twenty seven see if
Speaker 1: they get up to the dirty tricks keeping the truth alive.
Speaker 1: Nity is on right now, all right, so it's summertime,
Speaker 1: all right, quick break right back to our busy phones.
Speaker 1: Here's our toll free number. It's eight hundred and nine
Speaker 1: four one, Sean, if you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program, Alec Baldwin's favorite radio talk show host
Speaker 1: is on the air right now, right, mister Baldwin here
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, Linda, have you been following the drama with
Speaker 1: our best buddy Steven A. Smith. I want to say
Speaker 1: up front so there's no ambiguity. Stephen A. Smith and
Speaker 1: I are best friends. I love this guy. We have
Speaker 1: been friends, Linda. You were friends with him before me
Speaker 1: and I was. But we've been friends for decades, right
Speaker 1: m hm.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: And he takes a lot of crap for being my friend,
Speaker 1: and I take a lot of crap sometimes with being
Speaker 1: his friend. To be honest, but we don't let that
Speaker 1: get in the way. We don't have political differences getting
Speaker 1: the way. I don't know what has happened. He's going
Speaker 1: to be on TV tomorrow night and it should be
Speaker 1: very entertaining. But he was apoplectic that Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: going to the Nick game the other night. I mean,
Speaker 1: he just lost it. He has no business being Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's been a Nick fan forever. And then we have
Speaker 1: the pictures to prove that he's been at the garden,
Speaker 1: you know, going back to when the Knicks were actually
Speaker 1: a relevant team, which they haven't been until this year
Speaker 1: for a long long time. All Right, that's a whole
Speaker 1: separate issue. He's the president. He goes to sporting events,
Speaker 1: he goes to more than anyone else. And he says
Speaker 1: he has no business showing up in New York City
Speaker 1: for a k next game. Why not?
Speaker 6: Player is strictly a basketball segment. This president has no
Speaker 6: business showing up in New York City. I am dead serious.
Speaker 6: It is selfish, it is narcissistic. It is ridiculous that
Speaker 6: he is coming to this game. I would say the
Speaker 6: same thing if it were Obama, George W.
Speaker 1: Clinton.
Speaker 6: I don't give a damn. We went back to Reagan.
Speaker 2: This is not a football.
Speaker 6: Stadium in some space in Texas where you've got a
Speaker 6: whole bunch of outlays and all of this. This is
Speaker 6: the garden. This is midtown Manhattan. You have any idea
Speaker 6: what the congestion is going to be like in New
Speaker 6: York City.
Speaker 1: Here the first thing I'd say to Steve and I
Speaker 1: look at the skyline in New York and Trump built
Speaker 1: out a lot of those buildings. All right. Then the
Speaker 1: best part, and it even gets better after this part.
Speaker 1: He blames Trump that the Knicks lost. The Knicks didn't
Speaker 1: lose because Donald Trump went to the game. The mom
Speaker 1: Nadi curse was fun because it went on for so
Speaker 1: long with the Mets after he hugged mister Mett. But
Speaker 1: I don't blaming Donnie in real life that the Mets
Speaker 1: were losing. Donnie curse. There's one game that Trump goes to,
Speaker 1: and he's blaming Trump for the fact that San Antonio,
Speaker 1: which has a very good team, these games have been
Speaker 1: very close that they won.
Speaker 6: Listen, he should have been ashamed of himself for disrupting
Speaker 6: that is, showing up to the game in game three,
Speaker 6: And I do blame him for the loss because, as
Speaker 6: far as I'm concerned, it disrupted the momentum. I'm a
Speaker 6: New York Knicks fan. Everybody knows that, so is. He
Speaker 6: saw all of us as New Yorkers, and in the
Speaker 6: world of sports, you do get a bit superstitious at times.
Speaker 6: Whatever is working, don't disrupt it. The New York Knicks
Speaker 6: won seven thirteen straight playoff games, too shy of a
Speaker 6: record tye in the Golden State wards of twenty seventeen,
Speaker 6: and it got ruined the moment Donald Trump showed dumb
Speaker 6: damn right, I blame him. I said it before and
Speaker 6: I'm saying it again now.
Speaker 1: Linda, listen to this. This is Stephen A saying if
Speaker 1: they lose the series, and I don't think Trump has
Speaker 1: any plans. I've not heard any plans or read about
Speaker 1: any plans for President Trump to go to any more games.
Speaker 1: But now he's saying, whether Trump goes or not, if
Speaker 1: the Knicks lose the series, that it's going to be
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fault. If this is not Trump derangement syndrome
Speaker 1: at its maximum level, and I appreciate his passion for sports.
Speaker 1: If the Knicks lose, it's because the Knicks lose on
Speaker 1: their own, has nothing to do with who might go
Speaker 1: to see your game or not see a game. And
Speaker 1: the President Trump couldn't heard about it. And he responded,
Speaker 1: he said he's too low IQ to run for president. Listen,
Speaker 1: be comminator Stephen A. Smith, who're talking about running for president?
Speaker 2: He said he would.
Speaker 7: Blame you if the Knicks lost the game.
Speaker 5: How do you repond about it?
Speaker 8: I think he's a nice guy, but you need a
Speaker 8: certain aptitude to run for president.
Speaker 7: You need a high IQ. I'm not sure that steven
Speaker 7: has that.
Speaker 1: I don't think he does. Actually, obviously there's been this
Speaker 1: long flirtation with this lose the series. Now. I love
Speaker 1: steven A. I love his passion for sports. What steven
Speaker 1: A doesn't know he thinks I don't know anything about sports,
Speaker 1: or you know, I have no stay in your lane,
Speaker 1: he always says. I tell him to stay in his
Speaker 1: lame with politics. We have fun doing all that. And
Speaker 1: all I can tell you is this is a team
Speaker 1: wins or loses based on their performance in big moments,
Speaker 1: and if they allow any one person to distract from
Speaker 1: their mission, which is to get a championship, that's on them.
Speaker 1: I can tell you all about the championship team of
Speaker 1: Walt Frasier, Earl the Pearl, Willis Reed, Dave de Busher,
Speaker 1: Bill Bradley, one of the greatest teams ever to play
Speaker 1: the game, and they were a championship team. I get
Speaker 1: it that New York's hungry. And I'll tell you you know,
Speaker 1: after the Knicks won the first two games, I said,
Speaker 1: I let him sweep. I don't care. What's a big deal.
Speaker 1: I'm not New York anything. And now I'm now because
Speaker 1: of Steve and A I am all in on San Antonio.
Speaker 1: How do you like that, Linda?
Speaker 9: So you like the Spurs, So you know, I think
Speaker 9: the thing about Wemby, I mean, he's seven to four
Speaker 9: and it's absurd because you know it's I mean really
Speaker 9: it's it's almost silly sometimes watching him and just how
Speaker 9: easy it is.
Speaker 2: But there were a number of the technical.
Speaker 1: Fouls in front of the New York Post today, though
Speaker 1: no I didn't, he says, wanted for crimes against the
Speaker 1: Knicks alias Wemby seven, nationality, French charge, flagrant foul reward,
Speaker 1: NBA trophy. Even soft on crime. Da Bragg would find
Speaker 1: him guilty.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it was. It was painful to watch. Boss.
Speaker 9: I got to say, as somebody who's and I just
Speaker 9: let the audience know I am not an expert on basketball. However,
Speaker 9: I have a house full of kids that all want
Speaker 9: to watch these games, and so I'm seeing them. And
Speaker 9: I happened to look up when Wemby had that technical
Speaker 9: foul against one of the NIXT guys, and it was
Speaker 9: aggressive and then he said, no technical foul. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 9: I'm a regular person. I can tell you that that
Speaker 9: was not okay.
Speaker 2: But you know it's all.
Speaker 1: Referee sucks most it does?
Speaker 7: It does?
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm not blaming them. I think they
Speaker 1: got a hard job.
Speaker 9: You know, he had an earlier part of his day
Speaker 9: where he was, you know, drawing in Grammercy Park. I'll
Speaker 9: bless him. He's got a softer side, but I didn't
Speaker 9: see that definitely on the court. He was a bit
Speaker 9: of a jerk in my opinion.
Speaker 2: Now to stephen A, that's.
Speaker 1: How the games played the next place, Oh yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: he was. He plays hard in the.
Speaker 9: Wemby was I'm not talking about Brunson. Wemby was a
Speaker 9: little girl.
Speaker 1: Talking about the you're talking about the flagroom foul. All right, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a bad call.
Speaker 2: It was a bad call.
Speaker 9: But my point in stephen A is I don't think
Speaker 9: that the president knows stephen A as well as he
Speaker 9: needs to know him to make a comment like he
Speaker 9: doesn't have a high i Q.
Speaker 2: He's incredibly gifted.
Speaker 9: He was a news news writer, you know, for the
Speaker 9: Philadelphia Inquirer for a decade and crushed it every day.
Speaker 1: To be But he's saying something else here. He's saying,
Speaker 1: if you're blaming me for their loss, that is dumb.
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
Speaker 9: But I'm saying, like when he went at him for
Speaker 9: his IQ and the presidenc scene, now, I completely disagree
Speaker 9: with stephen A for saying that the president, you know,
Speaker 9: has anything to do with their loss. And there's one
Speaker 9: cut we didn't play, and I asked Ethan to grab it.
Speaker 2: I was shocked by this.
Speaker 9: I don't know if you saw this, but the NBA
Speaker 9: commissioner came out. He was sitting in like a round
Speaker 9: table with all these former, you know, amazing basketball players
Speaker 9: and talking about the fact.
Speaker 2: That you can say whatever you want.
Speaker 9: But Donald Trump was a fixture in the garden watching
Speaker 9: these games long before the other night.
Speaker 10: And I also say about President Trump. You know, I've
Speaker 10: been with the league for a long time. I ran
Speaker 10: MBA Entertainment years ago. He did an I Love Gifts
Speaker 10: game spot with us. He was a fixed uar at
Speaker 10: NBA at a Madison Square garden. You guys remember who
Speaker 10: all of you when you played here? Not Draymond, but
Speaker 10: back in the old days, he had courtside seats. Is
Speaker 10: here all the time. He was at draft show. He's
Speaker 10: a genuine Knicks fan.
Speaker 9: I mean, people were freaking out. They're freaking out because
Speaker 9: the truth hurts right. Even Woopi Goldberg, who hates him
Speaker 9: with a passion, defended his right to see the game.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 11: Trump and ma'am Mom Dommy are Knicks fans and have
Speaker 11: been their New Yorkers, and you can't There's nothing either
Speaker 11: one of them can do to change what's happening in
Speaker 11: the city for this team. They can you know, they're
Speaker 11: they're there. Okay, there's a lot, you know what. I
Speaker 11: don't think anything can jinx anything. I think these guys
Speaker 11: are on a mission.
Speaker 9: They as they're like the Blue Brother They're on a
Speaker 9: mission from God and they have been winning and doing everything.
Speaker 11: And you know, you could be buck naked up in
Speaker 11: the box and ain't nobody paying attention.
Speaker 1: I don't care about what, but I'll say this, I do.
Speaker 9: This is a woman who rags on him every single day,
Speaker 9: and she is right to go yes.
Speaker 2: But my point that Steven.
Speaker 9: A is saying no, and WHOOPI Goldberg saying yes, I'm
Speaker 9: like what planet?
Speaker 1: Where he's where? He's jumped the shark here is blaming
Speaker 1: Trump for the loss, saying let's go to Richie in
Speaker 1: uh Pennsylvania. Richie, how are you?
Speaker 7: Last week everybody was talking about Rush. I can't. I
Speaker 7: still can't believe it's been five years he would be either.
Speaker 7: In fact, the first time I heard you was filling
Speaker 7: in for him. Now how far back I go? I
Speaker 7: have to tell you a story. I asked Katie, could
Speaker 7: I think Rush publicly on Seawan's there? She said, I
Speaker 7: think you can. So here's the story.
Speaker 8: Okay, the way I want to add to that, anytime
Speaker 8: anyone wants to talk about Rush Limbaugh on this show,
Speaker 8: of course they can, because he paved a path for
Speaker 8: all of us, and we all in this business owe
Speaker 8: him a debticude.
Speaker 7: But go ahead, oh, without a doubt. So twenty three
Speaker 7: years ago, We built our house in Pennsylvania and I
Speaker 7: started teaching karate in the basement to four neighborhood kids
Speaker 7: once a week for free. Well five weeks later I
Speaker 7: was up to sixteen kids. Now my wife's going, do
Speaker 7: you realize that someone gets hurt or homeowners insurance is
Speaker 7: not going to covet this, which is true? I go,
Speaker 7: what do I do? These kids is ready to test her,
Speaker 7: yell about I can't just cut them loose. Then I
Speaker 7: remember what Rush said years ago, said, if you have
Speaker 7: a dream, follow it, chase it, don't sit on the
Speaker 7: couch waiting for that dream to come to you. So
Speaker 7: I said to my son Paul, who just made black belt,
Speaker 7: I said, let's open up a school. And now it
Speaker 7: all changes because you got rent, insurance, lights and all
Speaker 7: of that. We opened up a school and we still
Speaker 7: have it. Then we opened up two more schools. We
Speaker 7: had three, and course of COVID. We had a clothes
Speaker 7: two down. But if it wasn't for Rush pushing me
Speaker 7: saying go after your dream, which I did, now we
Speaker 7: still have one school. We're in business twenty five years
Speaker 7: now because of him. He gave that push, and I
Speaker 7: wanted to thank him. Publicly on your air and to
Speaker 7: all the listeners. That's the kind of guy he was.
Speaker 7: He was in inspiration and he got you off your butt.
Speaker 7: Rush did that. He had that way about him in
Speaker 7: a nice way to do that for you, And that's
Speaker 7: why I just wanted to thank him on your air.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you did. I'm glad you told the story.
Speaker 1: I will tell you this that I'm speaking broadly and
Speaker 1: generally have had similar moments on this program where people
Speaker 1: tell me that something I did or said or help
Speaker 1: them in any way. There's nothing more rewarding to me
Speaker 1: as a host or I'm sure to rush as a
Speaker 1: host as he listens from heaven above, than to hear
Speaker 1: that we help people in some way. We take what
Speaker 1: we do seriously, well, we don't take ourselves seriously. And
Speaker 1: I just try to tell truth. I mean it when
Speaker 1: I say this is the greatest best country God gave man.
Speaker 1: Embrace freedom. Do not look to the government to be
Speaker 1: your answer to anything. There's very little They run well.
Speaker 1: And the more you control your destiny in life, the
Speaker 1: happier you'll be, the wealthier you'll be. It's just it's
Speaker 1: it is you will self actualize into the people that
Speaker 1: God meant you to be. That's a little bit of
Speaker 1: wisdom I can pass on to add on to his
Speaker 1: great story. But I'm happy for you. I'm happy for
Speaker 1: your kids, all the people you've helped. You've done an
Speaker 1: amazing job. You should be very, very proud, and I'm
Speaker 1: very grateful to Rush for all that he's done for
Speaker 1: all of us in conservative media. He paved the way
Speaker 1: and it wasn't easy. Kennedy knows you're tired of government
Speaker 1: overreach and Big Brother watching your every move. Now it's
Speaker 1: time to take back America. This is the Hannity Show.
