Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right
Speaker 1: down our toll free telephone number if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program as eight hundred nine
Speaker 1: to four one Sean if you want to join us.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is now the looking at this.
Speaker 1: This just this White House just sent this out. Did
Speaker 1: you see this, Linda, I just sent it to you.
Speaker 1: Take a look at this all right?
Speaker 2: Oh I'm seeing it now, Yeah, all right, let.
Speaker 1: Me see what it says, new audio. If you can
Speaker 1: grab this quickly. US Forces give a final warning to
Speaker 1: all ships that may try and get past the American
Speaker 1: naval blockade in the Middle East. Sencom releasing a very
Speaker 1: powerful message that it is sending all of these vessels
Speaker 1: attempting to enter or to leave Iran imports. If you
Speaker 1: do not comply with this blockade, we will use force.
Speaker 1: The whole of the United States Navy is ready to
Speaker 1: force compliance. Let's play it.
Speaker 3: The US is announce the mormal blockade Iranian courts and
Speaker 3: coastal areas. This is a legal action. All vessels are
Speaker 3: advised to immediately return to fort and a leaving I
Speaker 3: just continue trains it to her on if that is
Speaker 3: your next court call. We not you have to reach
Speaker 3: the blockade. Vessels will be boarded from interdiction and seezer
Speaker 3: trains a tour from Iranian court. Turn around and prepare
Speaker 3: to be boarded. You do not replying with this blockade.
Speaker 1: He will use sports.
Speaker 3: The whole of the United States Navy is ready to
Speaker 3: force the flats.
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess that means game on here. Here's the
Speaker 1: good news of what's happening here. A couple of things.
Speaker 1: Just checking gas. The price of a barrel at oil
Speaker 1: as we come on the air about eighty seven dollars.
Speaker 1: What is it now? Eighty seven dollars a barrel as
Speaker 1: we come on the air. Nationwide gas prices have now
Speaker 1: been declining over the last week. It's look, it's still
Speaker 1: not where we want it to be. We want to
Speaker 1: get to get it down to about sixty two, three,
Speaker 1: four or five dollars a barrel, which is where it
Speaker 1: was before. But the rest of the media pretends not
Speaker 1: to notice. Pump prices for unletted regular have fallen five
Speaker 1: cents per gallon in the last week, from four dollars
Speaker 1: sixteen cents a gallon to four dollars eleven cents a gallon.
Speaker 1: And don't forget under Joe Biden, it was over five
Speaker 1: dollars a gallon. But that's neither here nor there. Everybody
Speaker 1: wants gas price as low as possible. I want them
Speaker 1: down as low as possible. And I'm just going to
Speaker 1: go through how this is going to end. I keep
Speaker 1: telling people right now, as far as I'm concerned is
Speaker 1: the President is giving the Iranians a taste of what
Speaker 1: is about to be the future of their economy. Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal had a piece today the Iranian economy is
Speaker 1: now in crisis mode because of the President's blockade. With
Speaker 1: the Rams oil fields now expected to shut down within
Speaker 1: two weeks. The economic damage is immediate and it threatens
Speaker 1: the regime if the longer this goes on. And this
Speaker 1: is a preview of coming attractions, And as far as
Speaker 1: the President is giving them a small sliver and taste
Speaker 1: of what life is going to be light like if
Speaker 1: he were to wipe out carg Island, the President at
Speaker 1: any moment can wipe out the entire economy of the
Speaker 1: Uranium regime. However, it's not gonna It's gonna take years
Speaker 1: for them to even begin to think about recovering from
Speaker 1: what the damage that could be done, and probably in
Speaker 1: under an hour. Iran's regime has tried to make this
Speaker 1: war all about economics that they're now getting their wish
Speaker 1: because the US Navy now is quarantine Iranian ports, blocking
Speaker 1: ships from entering or exiting the Straight of Horn moves.
Speaker 1: In spite of what you might be reading or hearing
Speaker 1: on other channels, it's not true. Nobody's getting through. The
Speaker 1: economic damage to the regime is immediate. The pain will
Speaker 1: only grow the longer the blockade is sustained. Or if
Speaker 1: the president kind of he's he's kind of given them
Speaker 1: an opportunity to see the light and feel the pain
Speaker 1: and then wake up and realize this is their their
Speaker 1: permanent economy if they don't change, because he's not going
Speaker 1: to stay there forever, and the President even said today
Speaker 1: this war's coming to an end. He's not going to
Speaker 1: stay there very long. The economic damage is real and
Speaker 1: it could be permanent, and that's where their choice comes.
Speaker 1: In the best estimates we have from the Foundation for
Speaker 1: Defense of Democracies, they estimate the blockade is expected to
Speaker 1: wipe out four hundred and thirty five million dollars in
Speaker 1: Iranian economic activity a day and force oil field shut
Speaker 1: ins within two weeks. And if you look at economic
Speaker 1: modeling at the war's current economic damage to Iran already
Speaker 1: exceeds you know, forty percent of its it's pre war GDP.
Speaker 1: This relies on an International Monetary Fund estimate of six
Speaker 1: point one percent Iranian economic contraction in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: But without oil, without exports, without surplus production, that means
Speaker 1: means that Iran's oil storage capacity in about thirteen days
Speaker 1: will be wiped out, and then Iram will have to
Speaker 1: shut in their wells, which will cause severe damage. It
Speaker 1: will cause them billions and billions in revenue. And they concluded,
Speaker 1: quote Iran's economic structure, heavily dependent on the Persian Gulf
Speaker 1: transit routes and energy exports, makes continued resistance economically impossible.
Speaker 1: Under the US naval blockade, Iran's entire economy will feel
Speaker 1: the collapse of oil exports. It is their entire economy
Speaker 1: that includes, by the way, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which
Speaker 1: siphons about half the revenue. Other export routes appear unable
Speaker 1: to compensate for the loss. So how will you know
Speaker 1: Iran's economy, their banking a system, how will any of
Speaker 1: it hold up. The loss of imports is expected to
Speaker 1: deepen their supply shortages exacerbate their inflation, which some estimate
Speaker 1: now up to the like one hundred percent. The currency
Speaker 1: has lost more than ninety seven percent of its value
Speaker 1: would also likely suffer without the foreign exchange coming in,
Speaker 1: and Iran's regime knows all too well that this is
Speaker 1: a threat to their survival. Now, common sense would dictate that, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got it. You win, we lose, Sure, we'll let
Speaker 1: you have the sixty percent enriched uranium. Okay, We're going
Speaker 1: to keep the straight or hor moves open and the
Speaker 1: free flow of oil at market prices, which means our
Speaker 1: oil gets to flow freely as well, and that is
Speaker 1: again the foundation of their economy. That would be the
Speaker 1: common sense approach to this. The US has now declared
Speaker 1: that Iran shipping has been completely halted. US military said
Speaker 1: early today that it's blockade of Iranian ports has been
Speaker 1: fully implemented, preventing all of the country's trade by sea.
Speaker 1: Sencom shared this statement from Commander Admiral brad Cooper Bradley
Speaker 1: Cooper saying that Iran's sea trade has been completely stopped
Speaker 1: by a blockade. An estimated ninety percent of Iran's economy
Speaker 1: is fueled by international trade. By the Straight or Horror moves.
Speaker 1: In less than thirty six hours since the blockade was implemented,
Speaker 1: we've been able to completely stop their economic trade that's
Speaker 1: going on. We basically have shut down their economy. And
Speaker 1: I'm calling this a preview of coming attractions because again,
Speaker 1: probably in less than an hour, the president can wipe
Speaker 1: out their economy. And the president, you know, to his credit,
Speaker 1: is showing great patience, especially when you think of the
Speaker 1: arrogance of what happened in this meeting in Islamabad when
Speaker 1: they came in saying that they want reparations, and they
Speaker 1: want to control the straight or Horn moves, and they
Speaker 1: they believe their inherent right to have nuclear weapons and
Speaker 1: they're not going to give up the enriched uranium and
Speaker 1: on and on and on, which was a non starter
Speaker 1: from the get go. But I'll give you an example.
Speaker 1: In the year before RAN's a year before I RAN's
Speaker 1: January uprising, the regime executed sixteen hundred people. This gets
Speaker 1: to the whole issue of the pope. Maybe we'll get
Speaker 1: into this with Bill O'Reilly. Today, we also have independent
Speaker 1: journalists Nick Shirley will join a citizen journalist Nick Shirley
Speaker 1: and Iranian authorities. By the way, I executed at least
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred and thirty nine people in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: the highest number since nineteen eighty nine. According to two
Speaker 1: international human rights groups, a woman, by the Way, the
Speaker 1: first in a while, is expected to be killed. A
Speaker 1: lot of people have brought up the issue and the
Speaker 1: involvement potentially of China. The President said today in a
Speaker 1: series of truth posts that China has agreed not to
Speaker 1: send weapons to Iran, and mid reports that it plans
Speaker 1: to give Tehran new air defense systems and new missile systems.
Speaker 1: But the president also claimed the president She's very happy
Speaker 1: about the efforts to open the Straight of hor Moves
Speaker 1: because that's where they get a majority of their oil from.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure any pressure from the China would be
Speaker 1: helpful to the Chinese forget about helping us. But this
Speaker 1: is a day after officials in China slam the blockade
Speaker 1: is dangerous and irresponsible. Quite quote, China's very happy that
Speaker 1: I am permanently opening the Straight Oh Horror Moves. I'm
Speaker 1: doing it for them also and the world Trump said
Speaker 1: on Truth Truth Social this situation will never happen again.
Speaker 1: They have agreed to not send weapons to Iran. China. Notably,
Speaker 1: they get forty five to fifty percent of their crude
Speaker 1: imports through the Straight Oh Horror Moose. That's over a
Speaker 1: fifth of the world seaborne oil, you know, traverses that
Speaker 1: the straight Oh Horror Moose has annually. They're getting a
Speaker 1: big chunk of it that, like every other country, is
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of their economy. And that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: And you know, this is now going to impact a
Speaker 1: lot of different people. Now, other issues we can we
Speaker 1: can talk about today, but this is this is where
Speaker 1: we are. President Trump sees the uranium war his words,
Speaker 1: not mine. He says, I think it's it's close to
Speaker 1: me over now. It's going to be over the hard
Speaker 1: way or the easy way. That's the only question that
Speaker 1: really remains. Because they don't have any cards. Remember when
Speaker 1: the President famously said to Zelenski in the Oval office,
Speaker 1: you don't have any cards. You don't have any leverage.
Speaker 1: We in this situation have all the leverage. And the
Speaker 1: President outmaneuvered the Iranians. They thought they would be clever
Speaker 1: and they thought they would say, well, no, we're taking
Speaker 1: over the straight of horror moves. We're going to stop
Speaker 1: the free flow of oil at market prices, and you
Speaker 1: can't stop us. Okay. The only problem is right in
Speaker 1: the middle of that straight of horror moves is something
Speaker 1: called carg Island and that is the heart and soul
Speaker 1: of their entire economy. So in that sense, the President again,
Speaker 1: at any moment, could just wipe it out. Now, the
Speaker 1: president's negotiating team was praised by nuclear experts for walking
Speaker 1: away from the Pakistan talks. Let me, let me tell
Speaker 1: you what's going on behind the scenes. The President himself
Speaker 1: has pretty much take and over the negotiations. The President,
Speaker 1: i am told by my sources, is dealing directly with
Speaker 1: whoever these quote leaders are in Iran. And let's just
Speaker 1: say the President is not being subtle. Let's just say
Speaker 1: that when I heard the President speak today, it sounded
Speaker 1: like he had a bit of laryngitis. That would tell me,
Speaker 1: indicate to me, there's a possibility that he probably got
Speaker 1: a little forceful on that phone call. On these phone
Speaker 1: calls that he's having with these people, and he's laying
Speaker 1: out in no certain terms as only Donald Trump would
Speaker 1: or Donald Trump could what their options are because they're
Speaker 1: out of options. The options are either you cooperate, make
Speaker 1: a deal and survive, or I'm going to obliterate you.
Speaker 1: What is your choice here? There is no plan B.
Speaker 1: It's not like they can go retrieve the sixty percent
Speaker 1: enriched uranium because we've got eyes on it number one
Speaker 1: and is very deep underground. Now there will be an
Speaker 1: extraction force that will include Americans and that will take
Speaker 1: possession of it. Was certainly not going to give it
Speaker 1: to the Iranians, but you know, we'll see how this got.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, Linda, I just have a sense
Speaker 1: that the Iranians might realize they're boxed in at this point.
Speaker 1: I know, there's no reason for me to believe that
Speaker 1: based on their prior behavior, because they've never given an
Speaker 1: inclination that common sense would in any way take over
Speaker 1: their thinking. They were warned before Israel. They were given
Speaker 1: fifty days before Israel first attack them. They were given
Speaker 1: plenty of notice before Midnight Hammer. They were given an
Speaker 1: opportunity to negotiate before epic fury. You know, pretty much
Speaker 1: everything of any value militarily, etc. Has been wiped out
Speaker 1: from them. The one thing that remains is their ability
Speaker 1: to have an income and an amy, and the president
Speaker 1: is now disrupting that almost to one hundred percent of
Speaker 1: what their economy is. And at that point, the presidents saying,
Speaker 1: I'll do it permanently if you force me now, even
Speaker 1: though they've shown no inclination to common sense. But I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the regime we're dealing with here. You're dealing
Speaker 1: with Islamo fascists. You're dealing with people that will strap
Speaker 1: bombs on their own children and tell them to go
Speaker 1: kill innocent men, women, and children, and that if you
Speaker 1: do that, you're going to be rewarded by Allah in
Speaker 1: heaven with seventy two virgins. You know, these are people
Speaker 1: that have no qualms about killing their own people to
Speaker 1: maintain power. This is an Aslamo fascist death cult regime. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I just think that the odds
Speaker 1: of a negotiated settlement are up dramatically because of the
Speaker 1: effectiveness of this blockade and the fact that this blockade
Speaker 1: represents this preview of coming attractions for them. So we'll see.
Speaker 1: I think we will know, probably probably by the end
Speaker 1: of the week. If I had to guess probably no
Speaker 1: later the next week. Now, this is going to play
Speaker 1: out a hard way or the easy way. You want
Speaker 1: to make a prediction.
Speaker 2: Linda, I think that we won't know anything until he
Speaker 2: meets with Ji and Beijing because China is there everything,
Speaker 2: and they're supplying them with everything they need and he
Speaker 2: Ron is no friend to anybody.
Speaker 1: But Allah, it'll never it'll never get to that that
Speaker 1: that time frame, because that's in May. No way I know,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, Sean, Boss, I'll take that. Bet
Speaker 1: you want to bet Boss, you want to talk about it?
Speaker 1: I bet you.
Speaker 2: I bet you you're a silver palette pasta sauce.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of other news we're going to
Speaker 1: get to today. Also, we'll check in with all Things
Speaker 1: Simple man O'Reilly Hill weigh in on the battle between
Speaker 1: President Trump and the Pope. Also, a citizen journalist, Nick Shirley,
Speaker 1: will join us. This poor kid has had death threats.
Speaker 1: This poor kid. You know, they now have out in
Speaker 1: California to stop Nick Shirley. Act Stop stop an independent, young,
Speaker 1: ambitious journalist that exposes hundreds of millions in fraud. How
Speaker 1: does that make any sense? It doesn't. And your call's
Speaker 1: coming up eight hundred and nine four one Shawn as
Speaker 1: a number.
Speaker 4: As we continue, you'll hear what everyone really thinks in DC.
Speaker 4: This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: All right. So let me get to this issue of
Speaker 1: what's happening and what's not happening because the fake news media,
Speaker 1: I don't know why they do it. They just can't
Speaker 1: really help themselves. They're kind of trying to be reporting
Speaker 1: that in fact, all these oil tankers are sneaking through
Speaker 1: the not it just Sentcom is confirmed again and again.
Speaker 1: US destroyer destroyers have been interdicting oil tankers that try
Speaker 1: to leave Iran with Iranian oil during this blockade. Since
Speaker 1: the blockade has started. US destroyer interdicted to oil tankers
Speaker 1: that were trying to leave Iran on Tuesday yesterday as
Speaker 1: part of the blockade. The officials telling Reuters that the
Speaker 1: ships left one of the ports in the Gulf of
Speaker 1: Omam before being contacted by the US warship to radio communication.
Speaker 1: The official added that the tankers were among six vessels
Speaker 1: at US Central Commands. Sencom said Tuesday obeyed orders from
Speaker 1: American forces to turn around and head back to the
Speaker 1: Iranian port in the Gulf of Oman more than ten
Speaker 1: thousand US sailors, marines, airmen, along with over a dozen
Speaker 1: warships dozens of aircraft are executing the mission to blockade ships.
Speaker 1: The Iranians can't make money. This is the heart and
Speaker 1: soul of their economy and it's impacting them already. But anyway,
Speaker 1: US forces, you know, have been enforcing this successfully from
Speaker 1: the get go. Venice whaling crewed imports, by the way,
Speaker 1: are helping to ease US fuel prices amid the war
Speaker 1: Chevron just announced. For example, according to CBS News, the
Speaker 1: Companies said of Global Refining of Chevron said the company
Speaker 1: is running it's Mississippi refinery now at full capacity to
Speaker 1: process enough crude and boost output. A tanker carrying foreigner
Speaker 1: thousand barrels of venezuela and crude will supply that refinery
Speaker 1: for four days. The oil imports are helping both bring
Speaker 1: revenue to Venezuela and helping Americans as well. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's working on all sides. But Sencom continues to confirm
Speaker 1: that their guided missile destroyers are among the assets that
Speaker 1: are part of this blockade.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The Sencom also did put some emphasis on the fact
Speaker 1: that the flight operations aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are
Speaker 1: also in the Middle East. We knew that an air
Speaker 1: wing plane captains signals during flight operations aboard the USS
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln. According to Sencom, plane captains wearing brown shirts
Speaker 1: and are responsible for the safety and the integrity of
Speaker 1: the aircraft, including pre post light preparation. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's basically all hands on deck, literally in the straight
Speaker 1: of horror moves and Iran is weighing, you know, the
Speaker 1: straight of horror moves shipping pause signaling de escalation. Now,
Speaker 1: why would the Iranians, being so arrogant in Islamabad now
Speaker 1: be talking about de escalation and an extension of the
Speaker 1: ceasefire because they're realizing they're dead. You know. Producer prices,
Speaker 1: by the way, declined in spite of the Ranium War.
Speaker 1: The seasonally adjusted Producer Price Index, which is a measure
Speaker 1: of inflation at the wholesale level, increase just a half
Speaker 1: a percent for the month, according to the Bureau of
Speaker 1: Labor Statistics. The increase was considerably less than the Dow
Speaker 1: Jones con consensus estimate of more than double that. So
Speaker 1: that's good news, but it's all this is going to
Speaker 1: take time. Now, The question is how much time will
Speaker 1: Donald Trump give them? How much time would it take
Speaker 1: for whoever is in charge this fourth fifthier level of
Speaker 1: leadership that has emerged out of Iran. How long will
Speaker 1: it take them to wise up and realize that they
Speaker 1: can't win at this point and that Donald Trump in
Speaker 1: an hour can wipe them out completely. Now, it is
Speaker 1: pretty funny the President's post about President She. I am
Speaker 1: not concerned about China, and I think the President when
Speaker 1: he says that he warned China against supplying weapons to Iran,
Speaker 1: I think he means it. He said that he sent
Speaker 1: a letter to President she and President She responded to
Speaker 1: the letter that he wrote because he had heard that
Speaker 1: China was trying to give weapons to the Iranians, and
Speaker 1: he said, you're seeing it all over the place. He said,
Speaker 1: I wrote him a letter asking him not to do that.
Speaker 1: He wrote me a letter saying that he's not doing that.
Speaker 1: In this interview with Maria Barturomo, you know, he said
Speaker 1: he threatened countries with an immediate fifty percent tariff if
Speaker 1: they supply the Iranians with anything. And then the President
Speaker 1: went on and said, China's very happy that I'm permanently
Speaker 1: opening the strait of her moves. And we also have
Speaker 1: mind sweepers that have been clearing out any remaining minds
Speaker 1: that the Iranians had placed there. Apparently they're saying they
Speaker 1: don't even remember where they put them. There's going to
Speaker 1: be a reckoning with NATO. I don't know what form
Speaker 1: it's going to take on. I can see anything. I
Speaker 1: can see a reconfiguration of our alliances, but not NATO
Speaker 1: in its current form. I don't see how the US
Speaker 1: could ever be in a defense agreement with Spain. Ever. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't see how we reconcile with McCrone and his government.
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure now. I know King Charles and
Speaker 1: Queen and Camilla are coming to the White House for
Speaker 1: a state dinner, but I'm not really sure how we
Speaker 1: reconcile with Neville, Chamberlain, Starmer when it comes to our
Speaker 1: relationship with Great Britain. And I'm not really sure what
Speaker 1: this means for the future of NATO. And I don't
Speaker 1: really think it matters to us, if anything, the monies
Speaker 1: that we've been spending the two thirds of the budget
Speaker 1: that we pay for NATO defense, which is really European defense,
Speaker 1: and then in our moment fighting the number one state
Speaker 1: sponsor a terror. They couldn't send a ship to help,
Speaker 1: you know, keep the straight o Hormuz open, which we
Speaker 1: really didn't even need. And the President said he was
Speaker 1: pretty much testing NATO and they failed spectacularly. But I'm
Speaker 1: not I don't see any scenario where NATO can survive
Speaker 1: in its current configuration. I just don't see it. Now.
Speaker 1: The President has been battling the Prime Minister of Italy,
Speaker 1: Georgia Maloney, and Maloney confirmed Italy suspended its defense cooperation
Speaker 1: agreement with Israel a mid Middle East tensions. All right,
Speaker 1: if they if they want to somehow appease radical Islamist
Speaker 1: they can do that. I mean, this is one of
Speaker 1: the major issues causing massive decline in on the continent
Speaker 1: of Europe in the first place, and that is unfettered
Speaker 1: illegal immigration without assimilation. And again that's resulted in Sharia
Speaker 1: courts in Great Britain, that's resulted in no go zones
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump blasting every one of these so called
Speaker 1: NATO allies. And France, by the way, should be as
Speaker 1: far away as possible from Lebanon peace talks, according to
Speaker 1: the Israeli ambassador, because they're more inclined to support his ballah,
Speaker 1: which is unbelievable. We're going to get into today the
Speaker 1: latest on now he's I guess he's been accused of
Speaker 1: being a rapist, accused of being a serial rapist. There's
Speaker 1: multiple allegations of rape against mister Fang Fang Eric Swalwell.
Speaker 1: Get this though, he apparently will get to keeplind. This
Speaker 1: is going to drive you up a wall. He's going
Speaker 1: to get to keep his government pension in other congressional perks.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you saw that today. Swalwell will
Speaker 1: remain eligible for his pension other benefits despite his resignation.
Speaker 1: This has got to stop. If somebody has to resign
Speaker 1: over an issue and an accusation as severe as rape,
Speaker 1: why do they get to keep their pension?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: For so many years, and we'll get into this later
Speaker 1: in the program today, for so many years there have
Speaker 1: been now I sometimes you just don't know, like for example,
Speaker 1: I guarantee and this came up during the issue of
Speaker 1: the thirty four counts against Donald Trump, a legal NDA
Speaker 1: non disclosure agreement. I bet you if we got into
Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg's office in the history of his office I
Speaker 1: guarantee you that office, like every big corporation, probably has
Speaker 1: a mountain of paper regarding non disclosure agreements. And they
Speaker 1: happen a lot because people make threats that they're gonna sue,
Speaker 1: and a company will make a mathematical calculation, how much
Speaker 1: is it to defend against this allegation, what is the
Speaker 1: negative consequences of all the press associated with the accusation,
Speaker 1: And maybe the accusation is true and it's going to
Speaker 1: end up with a big settlement against them. Sometimes it's true,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not true. Sometimes I mean, you could argue
Speaker 1: in some ways that this is a means of getting
Speaker 1: money out of people in certain occasions when people are innocent.
Speaker 1: But yet it is a way for people that are
Speaker 1: really truly victims to also get compensated when they have
Speaker 1: been severely wronged. But in the case of swollwell, now
Speaker 1: we're talking about rape here, and now he's an accused rapist,
Speaker 1: but he's going to get to keep his pension. But
Speaker 1: so the sad thing is in Congress, over the years,
Speaker 1: there have been allegations. I don't know if they're true,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're not true, but I know
Speaker 1: that this has gone on for a long period of
Speaker 1: time where the congressman, the elected official will come to
Speaker 1: some settlement with whoever the person is that was working
Speaker 1: in their office or working in the capital, and that
Speaker 1: money is then paid for with either taxpayer dollars or
Speaker 1: with campaign dollars. And my attitude is is absolutely no
Speaker 1: justification for taxpayers to be putting the bill for an
Speaker 1: agreement that you're going into, unless you want to tell
Speaker 1: the American people about it, because that's our money, that's
Speaker 1: not your money, that's donor's money, that's not your money.
Speaker 1: By the way, it looks like Walwell was known on
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. This was a Fox News report. Today he
Speaker 1: continues to face this reckoning over these multiple sexual assault
Speaker 1: allegations and pass scandals, and as praise of Hunter Biden
Speaker 1: has now resurfaced. Swalwell was also a big fan of
Speaker 1: Hunter's wealthy Hollywood sugar daddy brother lawyer who donated tens
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars to Swalwell's failed gubernatorial campaign. You
Speaker 1: might remember that guy from years ago, This guy Kevin Morris,
Speaker 1: who was bankrolling Hunter's legal bills lavish lifestyle, donated twenty
Speaker 1: nine nine hundred bucks to Swalwell's campaign in February. Swohell
Speaker 1: also reportedly helped orchestrate Hunter's surprise press conference outside the
Speaker 1: Capitol in December of twenty three, while he defied the
Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee subpoenas to testify behind closed doors. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Swalwell's billion billionaire sugar daddy also quit. This guy you know,
Speaker 1: the founder of Diamond Resorts. Guy with the name of
Speaker 1: Stephen Klubec, who has backed Swalwell since twenty seventeen, has
Speaker 1: severed ties with both Swalwell and the Democratic Party. I'm
Speaker 1: going to change my party affiliation. I can't stand the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party al anymore. I'm done, Venito. Tell everyone I'm
Speaker 1: a libertarian. F you Democratic Party. I'm now a libertarian.
Speaker 1: He confirmed Swalwell would no longer be welcome out his
Speaker 1: California residence.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: This guy donated twenty three thousand, four hundred dollars from
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen to twenty twenty twenty three. You have Hollywood,
Speaker 1: big name Trump haters now have rushed to bankroll Swallwell.
Speaker 1: This is getting pretty interesting. But he loved rubbing elbows
Speaker 1: with Hollywood's woke elite, and in return, they opened up
Speaker 1: their wallets. You know, for example, a lister Sean Penn,
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro. Anyway, Sean Penn had given Swallwell's campaign
Speaker 1: fifteen grand. You have Robert de Niro pitched in ten grand,
Speaker 1: John Hamm and two and a half men actor John Cryer,
Speaker 1: they pitched in a bunch of money. Kathy Griffin gave
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars. I mean, all these Hollywood people, I
Speaker 1: think to get their endorsement is like the kiss of
Speaker 1: death if you're running for office these days. I don't
Speaker 1: think it helps. It didn't help Kamala Harris in any
Speaker 1: way shape man or reform. We've got Bill O'Reilly coming up,
Speaker 1: and i will tell you I never thought I've gotten
Speaker 1: a ton of reaction to my comments about the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1: And I'm not against the Catholic Church. I am upset
Speaker 1: that this pope attacked the president that is taking on
Speaker 1: evil in our time and stopping the number one state
Speaker 1: sponsor of terror from having nuclear weapons, and upset that
Speaker 1: the Pope doesn't have the moral clarity that I think
Speaker 1: he should have in standing up to evil in our time.
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of upset that the Pope had never
Speaker 1: spoken out about the Iranians slaughtered by the regime. He
Speaker 1: never spoke out that I saw against what happened on
Speaker 1: October seventh. I don't know why there's a lack of
Speaker 1: moral clarity. I mean, are we supposed to just try
Speaker 1: to appease radical Islamist with this death cult? Die you
Speaker 1: get seventy two virgins in heaven if you kill innocent men,
Speaker 1: women and children. Mentality, this is not a complicated moral
Speaker 1: dilemma for people. It's not a quandary. All Right, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the Pope and President Trump with the all
Speaker 1: things simple man Bill O'Reilly citizen journalist Nick Shirley. They're
Speaker 1: trying to silence him in California. Straight ahead,
