1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: An our two Sean Hannity's show Toll Free eight hundred

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: and ninety four one. Sean, you want to be a

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: part of the program. We will check in with Utah

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Senator Mike Lee in just a minute. Obviously, we see

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: this what forty mile convoy and the beginning of what

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: will be held raining down on Kiev in Ukraine, and

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: I am not looking forward to the next couple of

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: days footage coming out of Ukraine because I think it's

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: going to be disastrous. I think many innocent men, women

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: and children will be murdered and slaughtered unnecessarily as Putin

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: and his thugs invade an innocent, sovereign country and of

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: course just indiscriminately bombing anybody and everybody that gets in

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: their way. And of course Ukraine does not have the

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: means to sufficiently defend itself, although I got to give

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: a lot of credit to all the Ukrainians that have

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: taken up arms and are trying to defend their country

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: to the best of their ability. Jen sake dodge the question,

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: I keep saying, the one sanction that would be the

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: most effective is to put sanctions on the importation exportation

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: of energy from Russia. Had for the environment. Okay, Well,

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: if it's bad for the environment, is it equally bad

22
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: to extract barrels of oil in Russia, the Middle East,

23
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: or the United States? Is it the same equivalent to

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: the environment. Why wouldn't we get the national security benefits

25
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: of drilling for our own oil. And you don't have

26
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: to worry about the Middle East and unrest and the

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: free flow of oil at market prices. You don't have

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: to worry anymore about the Straits or Hormos. You know,

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: we could beat Russia, it's hands down, because we have

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: more energy resources than they do. And our oil in Alaska,

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: by the way, as confirmed by the governor of Alaska,

32
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: our oil in Alaska is a lot cleaner than the

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: oil that they get out of Russia. Just as a

34
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: side note, So Saki dodge the question on the consumption

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: of Russian oil, and then she addressed the issue of

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: increasing oil production, and she lies and says it wouldn't

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: address rising gas prices. That is not true. Listen, what

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: is the stance of the US and buying Russian gas

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: at this point? At this point, are we ready to

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: pledge not to buy any more Russian gas? Well, as

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's really let me give you actually kind

42
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: of an update on this because it's I think there's

43
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: been a little confusion one moment. So as it relates

44
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: to Russian gas, US government doesn't dictate where the US

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: market sells our own oil and gas products, nor where

46
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: it acquires crew to refine products from for domestic consumption. Well,

47
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: I would say, Dana, the President shares the concern about

48
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: any impact on gas prices, on energy prices for the

49
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: American people, and that's why a range of options remain

50
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: on the table. He already recently tapped into the Strategic

51
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: William Reserve just last fall, which had an impact. But

52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: I would say, but the youth fact Jen, that was

53
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: pretty that was a flip. Was attention time, But it

54
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: doesn't last. But data the policies you mentioned, I know, Senator,

55
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Senator Cotton and others have mentioned these, they are not

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: policies that would address the issue at all. This Keystone pipeline,

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: it would take years for that to have an impact

58
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: on prices anyway, joining us now to react to this

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: and so much more, Senator mic Lee of Utah, Senator,

60
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. You know, I look at

61
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: Joe bideny inherits energy independence, he inherits in America that's

62
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: a net exporter of energy, and he gives into these

63
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: climate change alarmists cult the New Green Deal, Democratic socialists,

64
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: and he puts all of this these restrictions on exploration

65
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: and extraction of energy. It number one, makes us vulnerable

66
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: on a national security front. Number two, it hurts our economy.

67
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Number three, I think it's probably the single biggest contributor

68
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: to the forty year high of inflation we have. And

69
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: then not willing to use our own resources. Tell me why,

70
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: because it makes no sense to me. It makes no sense,

71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: and no one can breathe sense into it because it

72
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: can't exist. But Putin's military ambition, there's no question about it.

73
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: It's further emboldened by Russia's stronghold on the European oil

74
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: and gas market. Meanwhile, at home, President Biden has crippled

75
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: the American energy independence, the American energy security that we

76
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: have achieved over the course of years. He's done that

77
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: just over the last year alan since he's been in office.

78
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: And now he's insisting that Americans just have to stomach

79
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 1: higher prices of the pump as war wages in Europe,

80
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: even while he does nothing to reverse his own bad policies.

81
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: President Biden's policies leave the United States, including the American

82
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: consumer and the United States as a sovereign unit, as

83
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: well as our allies poor and vulnerable. This is inexcusable. Meanwhile,

84
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: they try to defend this by saying, look, we're trying

85
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: to balance the interests of saving the planet against the

86
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: needs of consumers in America and in Europe. That's nonsense.

87
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: When national securities is taken, when the well being of

88
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: the American people are at state, we shouldn't be just

89
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: deferring to these omnission climate balancers as they see themselves.

90
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: We should allow free markets to operate, especially considering that

91
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: our energy burns cleaner, our energy is secured in a

92
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: more environmentally responsible fashion. So we're actually harming the planet

93
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: when we encourage people to consume more Russian energy and

94
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: less American. It's it's insane on every level. These are

95
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: high paying career jobs, and Joe Biden's policies literally have

96
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: pushed NATO allies, Western European allies right into the arms

97
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: of putin. Let me let me go to Tonight's stated

98
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: the Union. My understanding is that they lifted the mask mandate,

99
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: but everybody has to have a COVID test before they

100
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: go in, and there's going to be social distancing. Can

101
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: you tell me what the final call is on this?

102
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Is every Senator, is every Congressman going to be allowed

103
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: in the room. We certainly should be and if we're not,

104
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: they're really doing something ugly, something that was set a

105
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: bad precedent that I think all Americans will later regret.

106
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: My understanding is it will all be able to be there,

107
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: and I think there are going to be some very

108
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: unhappy people and some very long lasting problems if they

109
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: if they jump about what about guests that are usually

110
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: in the balcony. Yeah, I don't think that's going to

111
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: happen tonight. Because they've become they've so fetishized their attachment

112
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: to COVID and all things related to COVID restrict actions

113
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: that seems to carry the day for them. That's really unfortunate. Now,

114
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: you were involved in an effort, and I want to

115
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: give you kudos for this, and that is that you

116
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: distributed a letter to colleague stating that they would not

117
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: grant consent to expedite the passage of the Continuing Resolution Now,

118
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: remember I did not approve of Mitch McConnell's handling of

119
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: any of this. The two extensions that he gave Schumer

120
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 1: and Biden to continue to push bill back broke anyway.

121
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Tell us what happened in this particular case, because you

122
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: if enough Republicans have showed up, you would have won. Yes,

123
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: what the American people understand that the vaccine mandates are

124
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: morally wrong and unpopular. That's why we set the letter

125
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: that we did. That's why we said, if you want

126
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: our help facilitating the time to get your spending bill passed,

127
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: recognizing that the spending period expired on February eighteenth, just

128
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: to go a week ago Friday, and you need to

129
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: give us a vote on not giving the government the

130
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: money to fund vaccine mandate enforcement during that period. We

131
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: really had the Democrats up against the ropes here. The

132
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: American people are tired of government dictating the small details

133
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: of their lives and forcing them to defer to presidential

134
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: medical orthodoxy and pain of losing their job and being

135
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: rendered unemployable. We could have won, way would have won,

136
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: had we just shown up. The Democrats had more absences

137
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: than we did, and had our members who were already

138
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: in town, just shown up, we would have won that vote,

139
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: and at least for the period of that spending bill,

140
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: we would have been able to withhold spending on vaccine

141
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: mandate enforcement. It's really unfortunate because had we all shown up,

142
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: we could have won that one. But have no fear

143
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: because we're gonna have another opportunity between now and March eleventh.

144
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: Our current spending period expires on March eleventh, and maybe

145
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: maybe these guys can show up and do their job

146
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: for ones. It's not like you guys work a lot

147
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: of days of the year anyway. And by the way,

148
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that because you're not doing any more

149
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: damage when you're out, not meaning you, but the Democratic

150
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: Socialist Party is not capable of doing damage when they're

151
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: in recess. You know, I noticed out in Utah, and

152
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm very fond, as you know, of Utah, and I

153
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: have we have a very big audience out in Utah.

154
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm very grateful for that. And I noticed that Republicans

155
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: are trying to attack you. That's kind of like the

156
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney Rhino Republicans out in Utah and they're putting

157
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: up primary opponents and they and I'm listening to the

158
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: rationale because you have been a consistent constitutional conservative from

159
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: the day you got there to today, and you've done

160
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: a great job for your constituents in Utah. What is

161
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: this all about? And who do you think is really

162
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: behind it? Is Mitt Romney behind it? I don't have

163
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: any reason to believe that he's behind it. He's a

164
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: friend and a colleague, and I don't think he is.

165
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm always reluctant to speak to what somebody else's motivation,

166
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: one of my opponents, or whoever might be in supporting

167
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: one of my opponents, what their subjective motivation might be.

168
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: What I do know, Sean, is what I stand for,

169
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: and what I stand for is cause soucially limited government.

170
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: What I stand for is the idea of federal government

171
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: has become too big, too expensive, and too intrusive because

172
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: it's doing too many things it was never intended to do.

173
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: We've openly flouted limitations on our government and what it's

174
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: supposed to do and where it's supposed to operate and

175
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: where it's not supposed to operate. But leave action to

176
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: the states, who are to the people. That's why I

177
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: stand for, and that involves voting no, A lot a

178
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: lot of these folks find that offensive. That's why they're

179
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: running against me. But I'm going to win the reason

180
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to win. Now, I'm not worried about you're

181
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: not winning the race. I'm just I just don't like

182
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: the fact that they there's a concerted effort to force

183
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: you into a primary when you've done a great job

184
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: for Utah and it all seems political to me, and

185
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: I guess it's the nature of the business, but it

186
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: seems that I know the people of Utah are very

187
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: happy with the job that you've been doing, and I

188
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: know that there are times you just stand on principal

189
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: and you're saying, no, I'm not supporting this bill. It

190
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: costs too much, it'll add to the deficit, it will

191
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: add to the debt, and we cannot afford to do so.

192
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: And you're very clear in your rational and the reasons

193
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: that you give for voting the way you do. You

194
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: can't be any more upfront than you are, but I

195
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: certainly try to be shown and I appreciate the compliment,

196
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: and these aren't things I believe, and strongly there are

197
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: things I stand for, and there is definitely a conservative

198
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: effort to defeat me. We've got two Republican challengers, we've

199
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: got a separate independent challenger who's raised a million dollars

200
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: against the as the last quarter alone. Don't like my

201
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: constitutional conservative approach, that don't like the idea that I

202
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: oppose the legislation as much as I do. I know

203
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: that many Americans, most utahs, and I suspect most of

204
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: your listeners. I agree that we need someone who's willing

205
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: to say now when those of your listeners who agree

206
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: and would love to support my campaign, I'd love it

207
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: if they can support me at leaf Senate dot Com. Well,

208
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: I think you had a lot of support from this audience,

209
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: for sure. Quick break more with Senator Mike Lee than

210
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: if we're going to remember Andrew Bright part ten years

211
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: ago today passed away and we'll get to your calls.

214
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: seven interest rate hikes this year. Originally it was three

215
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: to four, Now at seven. Okay, millions and millions and

216
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: millions of Americans have not taken an advantage of these

217
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: historically low interest rates we have. Now if you're one

Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show for Continue with Utah Senator Mike Lee. Now,

233
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: when this continuing resolution comes up again, Joe Biden, I've

234
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: been reading it in the preview. He's not going to

235
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: say the things I want him to say tonight are

236
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: the things you want him to say tonight. He's not

237
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: going to announce that he's lifting all of his restrictions

238
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: on exploration and extraction of energy, which would be the

239
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: smartest thing that we could do to defeat Vladimir Putin,

240
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: and that would be drill, and I expect him now.

241
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: They're even telegraphing they're bringing back build back broke, but

242
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: they're just not going to call it build back broke,

243
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: and it will be the exact same policies except in

244
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: different packaging. Do you think there's any chance that they

245
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: will be successful this round? I don't believe they will

246
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: be successful. And the reason I don't is because President

247
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Biden speaks to a narrow base because he's losing it.

248
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: He speaks to Putin because his own weak policies of

249
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: forced confrontation instead of Americans reason to have confidence in

250
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: our future. For the Biden speaks to the next election.

251
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: That's the weakest position of any leader. And that's the

252
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of rhetoric that I think will be reflective tonight.

253
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: Speaking to an exceptionally narrow base from a position of

254
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: profound weakness. It really is a frightening time for the

255
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: world and for America. You know, I listen to Pete

256
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: Buddha judge, she said, we can't drill for anymore oil

257
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: because we're transforming away from fossil fuels, and Jensaki demanding

258
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: dismissing GOP demands to drill oil, calling it a misdiagnosis,

259
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: as she said, and then even going further saying increasing

260
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: US oil production would not address rising gas prices. Can

261
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: somebody send her to an ECO one on one class

262
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: because that is exactly not true. That is the exact

263
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: opposite would happen if you increase the supply worldwide and

264
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: the demand remains constant, guess what the price is going

265
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: to go down? Exactly empty. The opposite also happens where

266
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: they have artificially clamped down on supply, it necessarily led

267
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: to higher prices than we would otherwise face. So yeah,

268
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what school of economics they studied, hunder,

269
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: but it's wrong to the exempt they're describing a situation

270
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: in which increased capacity wouldn't bring down prices. All right,

271
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: Senator Mike Leah Utah, Senator, thank you. We'll following your

272
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: reelection very closely. It's an important seat that we need

273
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: you there anyway, eight hundred nine on number when we

274
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: come back, will honor Andrew Breitbart who passed away ten

275
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: years ago today, and there was a tribute put up

276
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: made for him. I was a part of it, and

277
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: so were many other people. Will play a little bit

278
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: of that. We'll get to your calls. Eight hundred nine

279
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: four one, Shawn quick Break right back exposing left wing

280
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: media bias. No stone left unturned at the Sean Hannity

281
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Show is back on the air, all right, twenty five

282

Speaker 1: nountil the top of the hour. Eight hundred nine four one, Sean,

283
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Um.

284
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: I knew Andrew Breitbart really very very well. I mean

285
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: we had some incredible times together. He was firebrand. I

286
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: mean he was. He was an iconoclastic, bombastic, in your face,

287
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: no apologies conservative and I have some you know, stories

288
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: about him. It's the ten year anniversary since he passed away.

289
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,239
Speaker 1: I can't even believe it. It It feels like yesterday. Um.

290
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: I have a picture in my office of Andrew Breitbart,

291
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: myself and John and Russick from Fight for Fighting, and

292
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: and Andrew was just he was a character. One night

293
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: he gave a speech and I won't I don't remember

294
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: what the what the politicians which one it was, and

295
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: he was kind of like really really harsh language that

296
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: I could never even utter on the radio. And I

297
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: called him. I said, Andrew, I said, what are you doing?

298
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: I said, this is the type of thing that that

299
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 1: people will harp on and it will take away your

300
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: credibility and so on and so forth. It was just

301
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: a small little thing, was one word. But it's a

302
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: word you don't use in relation to any person. And

303
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm being very obscure here on purpose anyway. So he

304
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: starts yell it because but the crowd loved it. I said,

305
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: of course, the crowd loved it. I said. I was

306
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: sitting there cheering myself. But I said, you're too smart,

307
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: and you got to play long ball, because that's the

308
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: type of thing that could be career ending if you

309
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: keep doing it. And so, you know, we get to

310
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: know a little bit of an argument. He hangs up

311
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: the phone, Linda, you know this story, and then a

312
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: minute later he calls me back, and then we start

313
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: arguing again. And I said, fine, if you want to

314
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: do what you want, I'm just giving you my opinion

315
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: as a friend. I'm trying to offer you a little

316
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: bit of counsel and advice because I would like to

317
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: see you as a leading voice of conservatism for decades

318
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: to come. But if you keep doing this, I think

319
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: your chances are greatly reduced. And got mad, hung up,

320
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: hung up again. He called me back like ten minutes later.

321
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I shouldn't have done it. I

322
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: get it all right, Thank you, I love you. Bye.

323
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: And that was the conversation. And um, we just had

324
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: this relationship that was that was kind of like that.

325
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: We were always honest with each other. He was a

326
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: lot of fun to be around. And you remember one

327
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: night that I don't remember where it was, I know

328
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: it was in DC. Was at somebody's house and we

329
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: were hanging out and and he was the life of

330
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: the party. He loved this country. He loved everything about

331
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: this country, and he fought like held to protect and

332
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: preserve the cause of liberty, freedom and conservatism. I was

333
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: asked to do a tribute. Um, I don't want to

334
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: play mine, but I will play President Trump, Dennis Miller,

335
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: new Ingrich, Peter Schweitzer, Joel Pollock. I'm in this, but

336
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: I just feel self serving if I play mine. So

337
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: let me just play this. On the ten year anniversary

338
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: of Andrew Breitbart's passing. Andrew Breitbart has an incredible legacy,

339
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: a legacy that will live on for a long time.

340
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: What he's done is so important. And what the people

341
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: and many of them I'm speaking to right now, what

342
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: the people that follow him to keep that legacy going,

343
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: what they've done is incredible. So I just want to

344
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: thank all of the folks at Breakbart. I want to

345
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: thank everybody in the room right now, because you really

346
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: have done something very important, very special. We have to

347
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: keep it going. Our country is a different place. In

348
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: one year. It's gone to hell, and we have to

349
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: change that, and we will change it. So I want

350
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: to thank Breitbart and I want to pay my respects

351
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: up there to Andrew. Great job, Andrew. Hey, folks, well

352
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: ten years Andrew Breakbart and he did not like bullies

353
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: and he did not abide bullies. I always admired that

354
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: about him. Ten years unbelievable. Rest in peace, Andrew breitbarton.

355
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: I remember the first time I met Andrew Breitbart, and

356
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: I thought, who is this guy. Here's a guy that

357
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: starts fights, He's in the middle of fights, and he's

358
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: having so much fun. And once I got to know Andrew,

359
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: I was just overwhelmed. By his personality, his generosity, and

360
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: his fighting spirit. He said, I want you to pursue

361
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: the stories that you want to pursue, that you think

362
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: are important. Doesn't matter who they're about, it doesn't matter

363
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: who they calls out. Just follow the truth. Andrew. We

364
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: love you, we miss you, and this legacy is your legacy.

365
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: Andrew Breitbart quite literally changed my life when I met him.

366
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: I had all sorts of different career plans and other

367
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: things that were going to go work elsewhere in the media.

368
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: He inspired me. There was that fire in the belly,

369
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: that fight back mentality, a righteous indignation that was very

370
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: much like a police officer running towards the gunfire or

371
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: a firefighter running into a burning building. That inspired me

372
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: to join Bridebart News Network. And part of why I

373
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: work here is because he taught us how to fight back.

374
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget my friend Andrew Brydebart, and I

375
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: can't believe it's been ten years since it's passed away.

376
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Broydbart was a remarkable patriot, a man of great vision,

377
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: somebody who galvanized the conservative movement and established an institution

378
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: that was at the cutting edge of doing the kind

379
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: of investigative reporting, the kind of hard news reporting that

380
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: really mattered. He's deeply messed. He was just a wonderful person,

381
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: and he's somebody that so many of us looked to

382
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: as a leader. And it's a great honor for me

383
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: to be able to speak well of Andrew Brydebark. I

384
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: had the privilege of working side by side with Andrew

385
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: Breitbart at Breitbart dot com. Literally our desks were next

386
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: to one another, and we would spend hours debating, discussing, joking,

387
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: comparing music, talking about ideas. Andrew inspired thousands of people

388
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: across the country with his philosophy of citizen journalism, which

389
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: basically held that if you just do the legwork, if

390
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: you use the camera that's on your phone, and you

391
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: record what you see at public meetings and you talk

392
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,239
Speaker 1: to elected officials, you can do a better job than

393
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: the establishment media journalists who are there to push a

394
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: particular narrative. And that example that philosophy still inspires us today,

395
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: inspires many other people, and I feel his presence every

396
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: day in everything we do at Breitbart dot com. Andrew

397
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: is sorely missed, but he's still very much a part

398
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: of our lives now. We have the entire tribute available

399
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: if you want to watch it on Hannity dot com.

400
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: Do you remember the day that the Anthony Wiener press

401
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: conference and he took the thing over land? Oh? Yes,

402
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: and that was back into twenty even. I mean you

403
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: were on the phone with him while he was there,

404
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: and then he podium. Michael, I go to you a

405
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: call Andrew quick, hurry up, put him on the air,

406
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: and he comes to insane and he's laughing the whole time.

407
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd like to have to go back in

408
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: the archives to find it. But it was. It was priceless,

409
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: if my memory serves me well. The media started questioning him.

410
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: They were kidding me, they had importance. It was. He

411
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: took the whole thing over. It was insane. I was like,

412
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: what is happening right now? And I'm texting him and

413
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you okay? He goes, this is great.

414
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, never mind, I'll be over here if

415
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: you need me. Oh my gosh, it's so funny. Um,

416
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: he's missed. I thought Joel Pollack and nailed a citizen journalism.

417
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: Everybody could be a journalist now with a phone. That's

418
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: such a good point. But I just also wanted Sean

419
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: really quickly. You did a really beautiful tribute too. I

420
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: know you won't play because you hate doing that. Um,

421
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: but that's also onehandity dot com. And I want to

422
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: shout out John con who works at the time top

00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: Right now, he's in South Africa putting pictures up on

429
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: Instagram of all the beautiful sunsets. I'm like, hello, what

Speaker 1: and I guess we're all going to see him one day.

432
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: And just the nature of life, right, the circle of life.

433
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: All right, quick break, we'll get to the phone and

434
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: S eight hundred and nine P one, Sean, if you

435
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program, all right,

436
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: let's get back to our phones here. Let's say hi

437
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: to Frankie's in New York. What are you doing in

438
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: New York? Frank not a smart decision, and I'm here

439
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: with you. We're not very smart for some of us

440
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 1: us it's not by choice. I'm assuming maybe that's your

441
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: situation as well too. Sean, Well, it's it's I'm getting

442
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: there slowly, but surely I'm getting there. What's going on?

443
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: You know? Lately we've been witnessing on television the heroics

444
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: of the Ukrainians and a president that says, don't send

445
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: me a ride, I want AMMO. It's been it's been

446
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: all inspiring, and it makes me think about some of

447
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: the other things we've seen on television before Ukraine was invaded,

448
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: such as witnessing the Summer of Love with the flags

449
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: being burnt and all these calls for socialism and communism.

450
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: My question you is, Sean, is do you feel that

451
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: right now there could be an ideological shift taking place,

452
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: maybe now or maybe sometime in our near future in

453
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: our country as we witness what's unfolding in Ukraine. Do

454
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: you think we can get back to being that beacon

455
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: of what we once were that seems to have stepped

456
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: in and become We're Americans. The answer to that question

457
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: is yes. And we've been through world wars before, We've

458
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: been through a depression before. We've made it through nine

459
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: to eleven, and we're going to make it through Joe

460
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: Biden's presidency. We've had many bad presidents over the years

461
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, nobody as bad as this guy. And

462
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: the the swing of the pendulum. I don't know why,

463
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: but this country continually, you know, we get on a

464
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: great trajectory, and then the appeal of everything being free

465
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: and those rich people don't pay their fair share, and

466
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: class warfare and dividing Americans, you know, along racial lines,

467
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: rich versus poor, old versus young, men versus women, black

468
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: versus white. You know, that's the democratic playbook. And the

469
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: appeal of socialism is you mean, I'll never have to

470
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: worry again for the rest of my life about anything.

471
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: It becomes appealing, and then we give up an exchange

472
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: for false promises, false hope, things that they will never

473
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: succeed at. We give up our freedom and liberty in

474
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: the process. I do think that at some point something's

475
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: got to give here, because it's never been this divided.

476
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: It's I mean, you either like Donald Trump or you

477
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: hate Donald Trump. And you either are a new Green

478
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: deo radical socialist democrat or you believe in liberty, freedom, capitalism,

479
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: and our constitution, and I don't know how it ultimately

480
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: plays out. I would like to think that we, the

481
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: United States of America, can peacefully, you know, work out

482
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 1: our differences and do what's right for the country. But

483
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: there are people that want to dramatically alter what America is,

484
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: what it has been, and turn it into something that

485
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: we know fails, and I don't, for the life of

486
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: me know why. And the antidote to that is to

487
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: educate people on the issues of freedom and conservatism. You

488
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: always say to us, Sean, let your heart not be troubled,

489
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: but my heart has been troubled for a very long

490
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: time watching this ideological war taking place over Twitter verse

491
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: in other platforms, the censorship that's taken place. I just

492
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: don't want to see us and in in the Rome, because

493
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: Rome fell, every country has the capability of falling. And

494
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: if there's one big lesson to take from this, Seahan,

495
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: there is a reason to have a R fifteens, because

496
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: we civilians can definitely stem off with our malicious any

497
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: red dawn moment that could potentially happen in this country,

498
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: and we're not a bus and we don't we don't

499
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: want to go there. I mean, we're talking about our

500
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: fellow Americans. Americans can agree to disagree. At the end

501
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: of the day, it's going to be the American people

502
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: that decide the direction of the country. And it's it's

503
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: an ideological struggle. It's a battle of ideas. And yes,

504
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean that. And by the way, I believe in

505
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: the First that I believe in the Second Amendment. But

506
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to get to a point where,

507
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, America splits that way. I know many people

508
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: think it could happen, may happen, will happen. I hope

509
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen because I want to be the United

510
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: States of America. But you know, if you look at

511
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: a state like where you're from in New York or

512
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: a state like California, I mean, it's just irreconcilable differences.

513
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: I just I have nothing in common with the government

514
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: in the state of New York or the state of California.

515
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: And even Andrew Cuomo said, if you're one of those

516
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: conservatives in your pro life and pro Second Amendment, you're

517
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: not a New Yorker. I mean, he's even saying people

518
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: that think like me to have no place here so

519
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: much for liberal inclusivity. So but I think the battle

520
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: is fought at the ballot box. I think the pendulum

521
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: now is swinging back. There's not a single thing Joe

522
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: Biden will say tonight that is true in terms of

523
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: the policies being successful that he has brought into this country,

524
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: and the American people see it. The polling data proves it.

525
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: It is consistent across the board. And I think that

526
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: the Republicans are headed for a wipeout in the House.

527
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: I think they'll take control of the House. That'll stop

528
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: the Biden agenda, and I think the next step has

529
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: got to be twenty twenty four. The Senate is a

530
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: little harder, but hopefully it's a way of election that

531
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: carries a lot of people in with it. And at

532
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: that point, if we get a Republican president that stands

533
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: on the principles we believe in that I outline all

534
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: the time. I believe there's nothing we can accomplish, and

535
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: we can be the shining city on the hill and

536
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: build up our defenses and build up our economy again

537
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: and get back to the cause of freedom and liberty

538
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness, which is a god given right,

539
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: not a government given right anyway, Appreciate the call. We've

540
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: got to make it work. You know. Reagan always said

541
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: freedom is but one generation away from extinction, but not

542
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: on our watch. We've all got to be committed to

543
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: that cause. Quick break right back
