Speaker 1: All right, thank god it's Friday, right TGIF. Thank you
Speaker 1: Scott Shannon, thanks to all of you for being with us.
Speaker 1: Toll free or number eight hundred and nine four one.
Speaker 1: Sean you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: Christy Gnome is saying, Hey, why don't you come work
Speaker 1: for us? If you're in law enforcement, it's gonna join us.
Speaker 1: At the bottom of this half hour. We have a
Speaker 1: lot of ground to cover today as we cover what
Speaker 1: is the battle, the race to destroy capitalism as we
Speaker 1: know it, which is everything in the Biden agenda. Now,
Speaker 1: is it true, Linda, tell me if this is true
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden now said that we're gonna have a
Speaker 1: travel band with India. I don't know. Isn't that historical
Speaker 1: racist xenophobia on his part? I mean, based on his
Speaker 1: own definition of course, right, I would think, just just
Speaker 1: saying anyway. House Republicans, by the way, they are now
Speaker 1: questioning whether the Biden administration inflated the census count in
Speaker 1: Blue State. Now a letter that's sent out by more
Speaker 1: than a dozen House Republicans today questioning the Commerce Secretary
Speaker 1: on whether there was any political interference in the final
Speaker 1: census numbers. Would any of this shock you would any
Speaker 1: of its surprise, you know it wouldn't. The population results
Speaker 1: released by the Census Bureau strikingly different from the population
Speaker 1: evaluation estimates only released a couple of months ago in
Speaker 1: December of twenty twenty, and remarkably the differences all benefit
Speaker 1: traditionally blue states, which gained population compared to the estimates,
Speaker 1: over red stage which tended to lose population. I have
Speaker 1: one word for every Republican. It's called a lawsuit challenge it. See,
Speaker 1: we have this other branch of government. I know Joe
Speaker 1: ignores your branch, the legislative branch. Well, the judicial branch,
Speaker 1: coequal branch is designed to resolve conflicts between the executive
Speaker 1: and legislative branches. So we'll see. What are the fascinating
Speaker 1: rollouts of Tim Scott's speech the other night is that
Speaker 1: I'm watching the comments of Biden and Harris and watching
Speaker 1: them back pedal on the claim that America is racist
Speaker 1: because of what Tim Scott said. And I'll tell you
Speaker 1: the backlash that now exists in terms of how the
Speaker 1: medium mob frankly, they sound racist to me. The viciousness,
Speaker 1: the repulsive comments you know at Jack at Twitter allowed
Speaker 1: for twelve hours the trending of Uncle Tim before he
Speaker 1: finally stopped it. Now, it was a Republican of any kind,
Speaker 1: they would have been suspended, they would have been banned permanently.
Speaker 1: But of course there's not any equal application of standards
Speaker 1: anywhere in this country anymore, especially a justice system. So anyway,
Speaker 1: in an interview with the Today's Show, clip aired of
Speaker 1: the speech given by Tim Scott, Biden was asked to
Speaker 1: respond to Scott's remarks, No, I don't think the American
Speaker 1: people are racist, and he went on to give his explanation,
Speaker 1: but I think after four hundred years, African Americans have
Speaker 1: been left in a position where it so far behind
Speaker 1: the eight ball in terms of education, health, in terms
Speaker 1: of opportunity. My first question hearing him was, what the
Speaker 1: hell did you do the eight years of a vice president?
Speaker 1: Because it wasn't you, And it wasn't Obama that gave
Speaker 1: more money to historically black colleges. That was Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Obama and Biden that shattered record low unemployment
Speaker 1: numbers at one record after another for African Americans and
Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans. We've gone through the list many times. That
Speaker 1: was Donald Trump that did all that Donald Trump that
Speaker 1: put in place criminal justice reform to end the disparate
Speaker 1: sentencing that was created in large part art by Biden's
Speaker 1: ninety four crime Bill, when he was calling, you know,
Speaker 1: kids in the streets President, predators, you know, And the idea,
Speaker 1: it just sticks to it. I know, I'm the only
Speaker 1: one that'll say it. I can't help it. The idea
Speaker 1: that this guy partnered with the former clansmen and praised
Speaker 1: the former klansmen and praised the other segregationist, praised the
Speaker 1: guy that filibustered the sixty four Civil Rights Act, sixty
Speaker 1: five Voting Rights Act, partnering with that former clansmen to
Speaker 1: stop the integration of schools because he didn't want schools
Speaker 1: to be racial jungles. How does he get a pass?
Speaker 1: And then the most bizarre part of the equation is
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris called him out on this in a primary debate.
Speaker 1: Haven't heard a word since doors anyone in the mob.
Speaker 1: The media dared to ask Kamala Harris, well, you said
Speaker 1: this about Joe. I think she was asked one time.
Speaker 1: Her answer was, Oh, that was only it was only
Speaker 1: a campaign, that was only a debate. Oh, those those comments,
Speaker 1: what you said on that debate stage more and sincere.
Speaker 1: But to think now. Kamala Harris also goes on record, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think America's a racist country. Now, even Tim
Speaker 1: Scott described that racists do exist in this country. There
Speaker 1: are ignorant racist people in the world. You're always gonna
Speaker 1: have dumb, ignorant people. Unfortunately, you're gonna have people that
Speaker 1: you know are evil also in their hearts, all backgrounds,
Speaker 1: all racists. But it doesn't mean systemic racism. Is what
Speaker 1: the question was here, which they have been saying, you know,
Speaker 1: to what part you know, Jen Socket didn't want to
Speaker 1: answer the question. I us she's still circling back on
Speaker 1: the question of what about Joe Biden's past on the
Speaker 1: issues of right. Nobody wants to touch it in the
Speaker 1: media mob. They just try to ignore me when I
Speaker 1: ring it up. Okay, we'll just ignore Hannity and hope
Speaker 1: that nobody else picks up on it. That's pretty much
Speaker 1: what they do. But that's all because Tim Scott led
Speaker 1: the way on this. Now, there are important discussions to have.
Speaker 1: You know, you want to know Joe is not wrong
Speaker 1: when he talks about the educational system, and he's not
Speaker 1: wrong when he talks about violence in our inner cities.
Speaker 1: This is something we pointed out repeatedly when he was
Speaker 1: vice president and Obama was president, and Obama's home city
Speaker 1: of Chicago, the death toll that was going on even then,
Speaker 1: and the number of people shot every weekend, and the
Speaker 1: people shot and killed whose names you never hurt here
Speaker 1: because it doesn't fit the political agenda of those that
Speaker 1: selectively choose which issues they want to highlight based on
Speaker 1: what political how they can politicize something. That's why if
Speaker 1: it's about a cop shooting at an African American and
Speaker 1: involved in that shooting will usually know their names, especially
Speaker 1: now with all these these bodycam videos being released day
Speaker 1: after day after day. In most cases, they are showing
Speaker 1: a trend here that the cops have a hard job
Speaker 1: and that they have to determine in a fraction of
Speaker 1: a second whether or not the person that has been
Speaker 1: resisting arrest, running away from them, whatever the situation happens
Speaker 1: to be, whether that is a gun in their hand,
Speaker 1: and then they have to act. And in many of
Speaker 1: these cases we're finding, yeah, the people did have a
Speaker 1: gun in their hand and they were about to shoot cops.
Speaker 1: You know, three videos that we've shown in just the
Speaker 1: last two weeks on television showed that. So that's happening. Well,
Speaker 1: it's fascinating though. Two is you know, I had somebody
Speaker 1: remind me Rush said, let' he say. He said, it's
Speaker 1: hard to compete with Santa Claus Russia. Lombad said that
Speaker 1: I'd never hear I'd never heard him say that, but
Speaker 1: that sounds like Rush because Rush had that unique ability
Speaker 1: to take on pretty much everything and is voice will
Speaker 1: forever be missed. And anyway, it's kind of a great
Speaker 1: point when you think about where we are and the
Speaker 1: appeal of socialism, especially among younger people, because they don't
Speaker 1: seem to realize that it's been tried in many forms,
Speaker 1: It's been given many names, and every time it is tried,
Speaker 1: it fails spectacularly. The idea that everything the New Green
Speaker 1: Deal is promising, from pre K education through college education,
Speaker 1: through loan forgiveness and government daycare and government wages guaranteed
Speaker 1: and jobs guaranteed and healthcare guaranteed, well that's predicated on
Speaker 1: the idea that they're actually capable of following through and
Speaker 1: accomplishing the promises that they're making. The false hope of
Speaker 1: the false security that they offer. But I would argue
Speaker 1: that the same people said that, well, they wouldn't squander
Speaker 1: the Social Security lock box money, and they did, and
Speaker 1: Medicare and social Security are headed towards insolvency. The same
Speaker 1: people that promise you get to keep your doctor plan
Speaker 1: and save money, we're gonna We're gonna trust them again
Speaker 1: because none of those promises were fulfilled. The same people
Speaker 1: that can't keep law and order and allow basic security
Speaker 1: and safety for every citizen, especially in cities and states
Speaker 1: that have been run by liberal Democrats for decades. And
Speaker 1: the same people that promise good schools for your kids
Speaker 1: every two and four years. They've done a miserable job
Speaker 1: with that too. Now we're going to trust them with
Speaker 1: all this, and somehow we're going to be dumb and
Speaker 1: gullible enough to believe this. You know, two trillion dollars
Speaker 1: of emergency COVID relief, three trillion dollars boost a ball
Speaker 1: out money and down payments for every new Green deal,
Speaker 1: fantast socialist fantasy ever, and everything's infrastructure now, child cares, infrastructure, educations, infrastructure,
Speaker 1: everything's infrastructure, None of its infrastructure. All is the new
Speaker 1: Green deal socialism. They just don't want to call it
Speaker 1: what it is. Free pre K education, free childcare, free college,
Speaker 1: community colleges, free loan forgiveness. We're gonna tax the evil
Speaker 1: rich and the corporations and people that actually make a
Speaker 1: profit in capital gains, but you're gonna get childcare and
Speaker 1: school meals schools. Yeah. Great, can't wait to see the
Speaker 1: government healthy food menu that they're gonna offer kids. I'm
Speaker 1: sure they're gonna love it. Sounds like something Linda might
Speaker 1: put together and prevent kids from getting McDonald's and a
Speaker 1: happy meal where they could actually be happy enjoying their meal. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that's what they're promised done on this Friday. Are you
Speaker 1: feeling good? Yeah? Boy? Did you tell Liam we've been
Speaker 1: talking about them? Oh? Liam heard the segment. Liam heard
Speaker 1: the segment and with Uncle Sean or with me. First
Speaker 1: of all, Liam said to me, what is the happy meal?
Speaker 1: First part of this argument. He doesn't know And five
Speaker 1: years old, he doesn't know what a happy meal is
Speaker 1: the only kid in America five years old that doesn't
Speaker 1: know what a happy meal is. And I said, do
Speaker 1: you think that mamma makes good chicken nuggets and French
Speaker 1: fries at home. He goes, oh yeah, mamma, they're the best,
Speaker 1: okay else other than what you give him. So he
Speaker 1: doesn't have any reference point to to to sample what
Speaker 1: the other fair that exists out there taste like. I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I think I'm gonna go out on
Speaker 1: a limb here, was gonna take a risk and say
Speaker 1: that my food might be a little bit better than McDonald's.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just taking a limb here and say
Speaker 1: you're you're happy meal chicken nuggets and air fried French
Speaker 1: fries that don't include a toy, and he's gonna like
Speaker 1: the toy, and he's gonna enjoy those french fries probably
Speaker 1: a lot more than your air fried French fries. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think so. Don't hate it
Speaker 1: till you try it. Let me tell you it's a
Speaker 1: game changer. Progressive lawmakers in the squad and now ragging
Speaker 1: that they own Joe Biden. They're bragging about it. They're
Speaker 1: bragging they're setting the agenda. You got to tweet Congresswoman
Speaker 1: Omar Yeah. Key policies that have been progressive sponsored bills
Speaker 1: from more than a decade now being pushed by the potus,
Speaker 1: free pre K, free community college tax, the rich tax, corporations,
Speaker 1: paid family leave, childcare, school meals. That's the power of organizing.
Speaker 1: Let's keep going. Congresswoman Omar bragging she controls and owns
Speaker 1: Joe's agenda. Congresswoman Accio Cortez, Not enough credit is given
Speaker 1: to the countless activists, organizers, advocates whose relentless work is
Speaker 1: why we're even hearing anything about universal childcare. White supremacy
Speaker 1: is terrorism, labor, living wages tonight. Yes, we cannot stop
Speaker 1: until it's done. Keep going. Another squad member, Congresswoman Presley,
Speaker 1: listening to this an address, I hear the influence of
Speaker 1: organizers across the generations. You have brought us to this moment.
Speaker 1: You've demanded union jobs, living wages, healthcare, paid leave, medical leave.
Speaker 1: This is a once in a generation moment. They're bragging
Speaker 1: they own them. Just I told you, Joe, Nancy and
Speaker 1: Chuck are scared to death of the squad. The squad,
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal, socialist run the country. My final
Speaker 1: numbers in I mean, Donald Trump's first joint speech before
Speaker 1: Congress had nearly twice the viewership of Joe Biden's low
Speaker 1: rated speech. Only twenty four million Americans tune. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why, because America's figured this out already.
Speaker 1: Nobody in the media mob, they're not going to talk
Speaker 1: about it. They've figured out Joe is a radical leftist.
Speaker 1: They got it. Everyone hears it, they pick up an
Speaker 1: they see it, and they they've come to their conclusion.
Speaker 1: What is the point of He's not going to tell
Speaker 1: the truth about core packing, doesn't talk about it, not
Speaker 1: going to acknowledge the crisis at the border, not going
Speaker 1: to talk about DC statehood. He's not going to talk
Speaker 1: about He's just gonna give you or everything is infrastructure
Speaker 1: and investment. No, it's higher taxes for everybody. We're all
Speaker 1: gonna pay. We're all gonna be now, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: energy independent. Every American will pay the corporate rate because
Speaker 1: they're going to pass that on to every American, and
Speaker 1: we're all going to pay more to fill up our
Speaker 1: gas tanks and heat and cool our homes. People have
Speaker 1: figured it out. Here's the next stage of danger that
Speaker 1: we need to pay attention to. Delhi Caller had a
Speaker 1: piece today Overrun by disinformation. Liberal groups are urging Biden
Speaker 1: to crack down. Are you ready for this on free speech? Now?
Speaker 1: Do you understand what that is? If it wasn't bad
Speaker 1: enough that the medium mob is ninety nine percent radical left,
Speaker 1: it wasn't bad enough. Groups are trying to silence conservative
Speaker 1: talk radio as they've been doing for decades, and silence
Speaker 1: the few voices on Fox and I say few because
Speaker 1: it has diverse opinions, as everybody can tell, to silence
Speaker 1: every conservative voice? What does that mean? Crack down on
Speaker 1: free speech? They actually want him to create a federal
Speaker 1: task force to combat disinformation, you mean, like as defined
Speaker 1: by at Jack at Twitter and big tech that didn't
Speaker 1: want to run with the Hunter laptop story before the election,
Speaker 1: nor did they ask tough questions or Joe, and they
Speaker 1: protected him in the Candidate Protection program. Governor Christy know
Speaker 1: him next well. Even one of fake news CNNs, I
Speaker 1: guess one of their medical Punda and somebody that works
Speaker 1: for fake news CNN had the same observation that I
Speaker 1: did and said it was really bad optics and questioned
Speaker 1: why when the speech was given to both Houses of
Speaker 1: Congress there were only two hundred people in a chamber
Speaker 1: that holds sixteen hundred, Especially since everybody that works in
Speaker 1: the House and the Senate in Washington. They have been
Speaker 1: given every opportunity to be vaccinated since early late December
Speaker 1: of last year. So, in other words, Biden is now
Speaker 1: out there saying yesterday saying, well, Americans should keep wearing
Speaker 1: masks even if they're vaccinated. It's their patriotic responsibility for
Speaker 1: God's sake. That's his quote. I'm like, well, hang on
Speaker 1: a second, because my understanding was as they and I
Speaker 1: refuse to tell people what to do because I'm not
Speaker 1: a doctor. You know, I bring on doctors to interview
Speaker 1: them so that you can make an informed decision for yourself.
Speaker 1: Here different view points, some that I agree with, something
Speaker 1: that I might disagree with, but at least you get
Speaker 1: to get some context and texture to the you must
Speaker 1: get vaccinated crowd out there. And I'm a believer in science,
Speaker 1: and I'm not anti vACC at all. Not one bit
Speaker 1: of me is I just want I just don't feel
Speaker 1: it's my position as a talk show host. I don't
Speaker 1: know anything about your medical condition, and I'm also a
Speaker 1: believer in medical privacy. I don't think you should have
Speaker 1: to answer everyone's question all the time. Are you vaccinated? Okay,
Speaker 1: that the ideas, you get vaccinated to protect yourself if
Speaker 1: it's the right decision for you, in consultation with your doctor.
Speaker 1: And I urge people to do all their research on
Speaker 1: their own, get as much information as possible, consult with
Speaker 1: as many doctors that you might have, or people that
Speaker 1: you trust that are doctors or medical researchers or scientists
Speaker 1: that you have faith in, and then based on your
Speaker 1: medical condition and consultation with your doctor, you make an
Speaker 1: informed decision. And you know, I am grateful that. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: we do have three vaccines. I've read the efficacy response
Speaker 1: on all three of them. I suggest you read it
Speaker 1: as well. Anyway, somehow this is now so it just
Speaker 1: is a little odd that Biden is saying, if you're vaccinated,
Speaker 1: you should keep wearing your masks. It's your patriotic responsibility.
Speaker 1: And if everybody was vaccinated in the House and the
Speaker 1: Senator at least had access to it, and if they
Speaker 1: want to keep people in masks, I guess they can indoors,
Speaker 1: he's saying, even outside half the time, they can't make
Speaker 1: up their mind on that. The National Park Service in
Speaker 1: South Dakota denied South Dakota's request to hold the fireworks
Speaker 1: display at Mount Rushmore. Now. Governor Christy Nome says she's
Speaker 1: suing the Biden administration over the decision to allow the
Speaker 1: Fourth of July fireworks at Mount Rushmore this year. They
Speaker 1: deny the state request to hold this fire works display,
Speaker 1: citing concerns about COVID nineteen and tribal objections and potential
Speaker 1: danger to the park itself. Anyway, this lawsuit is moving forward.
Speaker 1: Governor Christi Nomo South Dakota joins us, Now, how are you, hi, Sean,
Speaker 1: I'm doing good. How are you doing I'm good now.
Speaker 1: I think it's important to remind people you never put
Speaker 1: any mandate in place at all. You urge people to
Speaker 1: be smart in your state, but you didn't mandate anything.
Speaker 1: You didn't mandate mask wearing, social distancing. But you told
Speaker 1: people in South Dakota that this is what the science
Speaker 1: at this moment it often changed, was telling us to
Speaker 1: do right. That's exactly right. Yes, we didn't do any mandates.
Speaker 1: We talked about personal responsibility, trusting people to make the
Speaker 1: best decisions for them, their families, and their businesses. In fact,
Speaker 1: we were the only states that never once closed a
Speaker 1: single business church issue to shelter place or did any
Speaker 1: kind of a mandate. So you know, the people here
Speaker 1: in South Dakota just have gotten through this remarkably well,
Speaker 1: and we have the fastest growing economy in the nation now.
Speaker 1: I believe because of it. Everybody who wanted to have
Speaker 1: a little freedom in the last year they came to
Speaker 1: South Dakota, moved, spent their money, took their vacation, and
Speaker 1: we're doing really well. So let's talk about the parks
Speaker 1: National Park Service denial of this request. I have a
Speaker 1: fireworks display. Well, it's dis punitive and political. You know,
Speaker 1: we had had fireworks on July third, the night before
Speaker 1: Independence Day, every year for many years until President Obama
Speaker 1: came into office, and then he took them away said
Speaker 1: that there was environmental concerns. So one of the things
Speaker 1: when I first got elected as governor was I asked
Speaker 1: President Trump to help me bring them back. It's our
Speaker 1: one chance to really show off South Dakota, but also
Speaker 1: focus on Mount Rushmore, our founding fathers, and really talk
Speaker 1: about our nation's independence on a worldwide scale. Everybody could
Speaker 1: see the show when we had the fireworks display, because
Speaker 1: there was nothing like it. President Trump did help us
Speaker 1: get the fireworks back We did all kinds of environmental studies.
Speaker 1: We jumped through all the hoops that the federal government
Speaker 1: wanted us too. We studied our water quality, we worked
Speaker 1: with our tribes, we went through all of the fire concerns,
Speaker 1: did back burning, and signed a memorandum of agreement. Hell
Speaker 1: hosted the fireworks last year. Now this year, we already
Speaker 1: had that agreement in place, Yet the Biden administration when
Speaker 1: they came in, refused to give us our permits, even
Speaker 1: though we had already shown and done all of the
Speaker 1: work and had the memorandum signed, and with no reason
Speaker 1: to tell us of why they were denying us the
Speaker 1: opportunity to host this show. So my only ability to
Speaker 1: really try to get fairness on this issue is to
Speaker 1: sue them, and that is what I'm doing on behalf
Speaker 1: of you, frankly our state, but our nation and the
Speaker 1: ability to celebrate our independence the way that our founders
Speaker 1: encouraged us to. It's pretty outrageous. You've you've jumped through
Speaker 1: every hoop the environmental concern issue in this case, though
Speaker 1: they're specifically cited concerns about COVID nineteen. Now, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm onto something if even a fake news CNN
Speaker 1: medical expert and paid medical analyst says the same thing
Speaker 1: about the joint speech to Congress the other day that
Speaker 1: Biden gave and everybody was in masks and the social
Speaker 1: distancing that we all saw with the idea. I thought,
Speaker 1: my understanding, Governor is that if you get vaccinated, you're
Speaker 1: good to go, and life was supposed to get back
Speaker 1: to normal. That doesn't seem normal to me. And now
Speaker 1: he's saying, even if you're vaccinated, it's your patriotic duty
Speaker 1: to keep wearing masks. And up until this week we
Speaker 1: were told that we even needed masks outdoors. Still, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're not using science. It's actually it's just stupid. And
Speaker 1: that's what's so heard about what we see our federal
Speaker 1: government doing right now. We hosted this event last year.
Speaker 1: I had thousands of people there, over seventy five hundred
Speaker 1: people there, did no social dance distancing. We did hand
Speaker 1: out masks if people wanted them, but we didn't mandate them.
Speaker 1: We did contact tracing. We had people from all over
Speaker 1: the country come to Mount Rushmore to celebrate our nation's independence,
Speaker 1: and we did not see any cases and spread happening
Speaker 1: because of bringing those people together because they were careful
Speaker 1: and smart. And I told people over and over again,
Speaker 1: I said, if you were scared, stay home. And even
Speaker 1: President Biden has stood up in front of us and
Speaker 1: told us that by July fourth, we should be back
Speaker 1: to normal and we could celebrate our independence from this virus.
Speaker 1: What better way to do that than by gathering everybody
Speaker 1: at Mount Rushmore to celebrate our nation's independence. I couldn't
Speaker 1: agree with you more. Tell me about the process where
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've spoken at length with the attorneys representing
Speaker 1: the state of South Dakota and representing you on this.
Speaker 1: What are telling you? Where can you get in an
Speaker 1: emergency injunction? Now it's April thirtieth. You don't have a
Speaker 1: whole lot of time, especially when you're talking about working
Speaker 1: its way through a court system. We don't. When they
Speaker 1: denied us the permits that we're supposed to be allocated
Speaker 1: to us because of the memorandum of Agreement is when
Speaker 1: we started working on what our options were. We have
Speaker 1: filed the lawsuit today. We're going to push it as
Speaker 1: fast as we can, but obviously we're dealing with the
Speaker 1: court system. You know, I believe that We've got a
Speaker 1: tough challenge in front of us, but this is the
Speaker 1: option that we have. We've already we can prove that
Speaker 1: we've done the environmental studies so that we've studies have
Speaker 1: found that there's no significant impact on the surrounding environment.
Speaker 1: We have a go No Go wildland fire enforest checklist
Speaker 1: that there's all kinds of entities of local, state, and
Speaker 1: federal that can declare if there's any fire risk that
Speaker 1: the checklist doesn't get mes and we don't blow the
Speaker 1: fireworks up until a couple of hours before or the event.
Speaker 1: We have consulted with our tribes, we have gone through
Speaker 1: all of the COVID protocols that they have asked us
Speaker 1: to do. There really is no reason they could have
Speaker 1: pulled this show from us other than being political or
Speaker 1: being punitive to the state of South Dakota. So that
Speaker 1: could be a little bit of I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it'll be viewed as what if you did it anyway,
Speaker 1: what if you just did It's a little difficult because
Speaker 1: it's surrounded by Forest Service land, which is federal property,
Speaker 1: and it's a national park, so it's a little difficult
Speaker 1: for the state to get access out there and launch
Speaker 1: the fireworks from where we typically do in a way
Speaker 1: that would be safe. I've been looking around the surrounding
Speaker 1: area to see how we could celebrate and have a
Speaker 1: fireworks show. Obviously, all the communities throughout the Black Hills
Speaker 1: have their own fireworks show shows, and so you know,
Speaker 1: having fireworks and the technology that's utilized today and still
Speaker 1: protecting the forest is possible. It happens every single year there.
Speaker 1: I've seen videos. I haven't been to it, and well,
Speaker 1: I've been to Mount Rushmore but for the fireworks display.
Speaker 1: But I've seen videos of the fireworks display at Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 1: There's nothing better. Oh No, it's amazing. And I think, actually,
Speaker 1: Sean last year, it was a moment of unification for
Speaker 1: our country. It was a challenging year, a year that
Speaker 1: people were filled with a lot of fear and division.
Speaker 1: That was right when all the riots were starting and
Speaker 1: happening across the country and we all paused for an
Speaker 1: evening and talked about the greatness of America and it's
Speaker 1: founding leaders that led us through challenging times and we
Speaker 1: are better for it today. So I think it can
Speaker 1: be a moment where the entire country can come together
Speaker 1: and talk about our shared ideal. But if the Biden
Speaker 1: administration chooses to continue to be divisive and keep us
Speaker 1: from doing that, then it's going to take governors like
Speaker 1: myself to go after them and try to get equal
Speaker 1: treatment at least. Well, I hope that you're able to
Speaker 1: get this expedited. I'd love to see this happen for
Speaker 1: the state and the people of South Dakota and people
Speaker 1: from around the country who might want to attend. It
Speaker 1: was a little closer, I'd like to attend myself. I'd
Speaker 1: love to see that. I noticed a tweet that you
Speaker 1: had put out, and it was in reaction to the
Speaker 1: article about and I mentioned that earlier two hundred Seattle
Speaker 1: police officers quit citing the anti police climate out in Seattle.
Speaker 1: The number of retirements and police officers quitting in New
Speaker 1: York City is unprecedented. We've never had this level of
Speaker 1: attrition in New York as we're seeing before us. But
Speaker 1: that's after a billion dollar cut to the police budget
Speaker 1: and the defund effort and dismantle effort. And yeah, it's
Speaker 1: become a hostile environment for police officers. So you sent
Speaker 1: out a tweet to these two hundred Seattle police officers,
Speaker 1: saying I invite each and every one of these officers
Speaker 1: to apply for a career in South Dakota. We respect
Speaker 1: the work that you do to keep people safe. We'll
Speaker 1: always stand with you, we won't defund you, will have
Speaker 1: your back. Thank you for having ours. And I was
Speaker 1: pretty impressed with that, and I'm kind of betting that
Speaker 1: that might work well. It already has sean last year,
Speaker 1: when those riots started breaking out in many of our cities,
Speaker 1: I in South Dakota launched a national recruitment campaign for
Speaker 1: law enforcement officers, told them that if they wanted to
Speaker 1: live in a state that respected them and appreciated them,
Speaker 1: that we wanted them to move here and be a
Speaker 1: part of our lives. We got hundreds and hundreds of
Speaker 1: applications from forty one different states, and those law enforcement
Speaker 1: officers moved to South Dakota. Build our security positions, are
Speaker 1: part of our highway patrol, our local sheriff's offices. And
Speaker 1: this was just another tweet today where I again told
Speaker 1: my team, let's do another campaign letting every single law
Speaker 1: enforcement officer in this country know that if they want
Speaker 1: a new home and they want to be somewhere where
Speaker 1: people are thankful for their service, Let's tell them that
Speaker 1: we want their home to be in South Dakota. You know,
Speaker 1: it's very very interesting, and I think it's fascinated. It's
Speaker 1: very much part of the strategy. When I got to
Speaker 1: know Governor Jendal, Governor Rick Scott, Governor Rick Perry really
Speaker 1: well because they were up in New York all the
Speaker 1: time enticing businesses to move to their respective states, and
Speaker 1: they did so successfully, and every time they'd stopped by,
Speaker 1: they'd either come on TV or radio. So I got
Speaker 1: to see them and got to know them, became good
Speaker 1: friends with all of them, and I see that outreach.
Speaker 1: In your case. I think it may pay dividends. Probably
Speaker 1: you can entice a lot of businesses to move out
Speaker 1: there as well. Your name is mentioned quite often along
Speaker 1: with Governor DeSantis, along with Mike Pompeo, Nicky Haley, and
Speaker 1: a group of people that potentially, if Donald Trump didn't
Speaker 1: run in twenty twenty four, that would consider running for president.
Speaker 1: Have you thought about it. No, I'm focused on South Dakota.
Speaker 1: You know, Sean, we have thousands of thousands of people
Speaker 1: moving to our state right now, hundreds and undreds of businesses.
Speaker 1: South Dakota has the fastest growing GDP rate in the nation.
Speaker 1: The next closest is Texas at seven point five percent.
Speaker 1: South Dakotas is nine point nine percent. Right now, we
Speaker 1: have historic revenues. We're growing like we've never grown before.
Speaker 1: I said when I ran for governor that I wanted
Speaker 1: South Dakota to be an example to the nation. And
Speaker 1: that's exactly what we're going to continue to do and
Speaker 1: what my job is while I'm here, and I love
Speaker 1: the people here, and I'm incredibly blessed that we had
Speaker 1: the chance to do this job and be successful adhering
Speaker 1: to our conservative principles and showing that it can be successful.
Speaker 1: It's amazing when you compare a year out now the
Speaker 1: draconian shutdown states to the states that remained open and
Speaker 1: never put these dramatic shutdowns in place, and how much
Speaker 1: better off the people were in those red states, including
Speaker 1: yours in South Dakota. Governor, we love having you'll thank
Speaker 1: you for being with us all the best. We're going
Speaker 1: to watch this closely. If there's anything we could do
Speaker 1: to help, I'd love to do it. I'd think it
Speaker 1: belongs at Mount Rushmore. And you ought to be able
Speaker 1: to have that fireworks display. You've jumped through every hoop
Speaker 1: possible and to me, it's just punitive partisan politics behind this.
Speaker 1: And I hope you're successful in the courts. Great, thank you, Sean.
Speaker 1: We will. We'll keep pushing our two. Sean Hannity's show
Speaker 1: tull Free. It's eight hundred and nine four one, Sean,
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: So in West Virginia, the ag there just file the
Speaker 1: nation's first energy environmental appeal at the US Supreme Court
Speaker 1: since Biden took office. Now thankfully they're doing this. It
Speaker 1: seeks to overturn an appeals court ruling that would radically
Speaker 1: transform energy production nationwide. We spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: stroke of a pen. You know, for example, if you
Speaker 1: were working on the Keystone XL pipeline, Yeah you're out
Speaker 1: of work now, but don't worry. You're gonna get another
Speaker 1: high paying union job that doesn't exist right now. So
Speaker 1: the Attorney General led nineteen other states urging the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court to act swiftly to stop this appeals court ruling
Speaker 1: that would give the epa virtually unlimited authority to regulate
Speaker 1: everyday life with rules that would devastate the energy industry,
Speaker 1: coal mining, and increase energy costs. That's for every one
Speaker 1: of you listening, you'll pay more at the pump, you'll
Speaker 1: pay more to heat your homes, cool your homes over
Speaker 1: the summer. And they're arguing the lower court made a
Speaker 1: big error using a small provision of the federal law
Speaker 1: that grants the epa broad authority without congressional input. Is
Speaker 1: what has been one of the signature signs of all
Speaker 1: things radical socialist Biden, and that is bypassing and a
Speaker 1: coequal branch of government. And this is what the third
Speaker 1: coequal branch of government is all about when there's a
Speaker 1: conflict between the exactive in legislative branches. So this is
Speaker 1: the way that this happens. And so they're arguing that
Speaker 1: this provision that again without any congressional input, to unilaterally
Speaker 1: decide to quote decarbonize any sector of the economy. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is we are devastating the energy sector, high paying
Speaker 1: career jobs in this country. I mean, just with the
Speaker 1: stroke of a pen. They don't want to bring this
Speaker 1: to the floor for a vote because they can't win
Speaker 1: it there, and they're just hoping that the courts are
Speaker 1: going to legislate from the bench, which so far they've
Speaker 1: had some success, but I'm hoping the Supreme Court finally
Speaker 1: will take a stand and anyway to give us an
Speaker 1: update on it is the Attorney General of the great
Speaker 1: State of West Virginia, Patrick Morrissey, is with us. Well,
Speaker 1: you've got nineteen states, now you're leading the way. How
Speaker 1: devastating would this be and how impactful would this energy
Speaker 1: jobs at on the price for energy for every American? Well, Sean,
Speaker 1: first of all, thank you for having me on, and
Speaker 1: I thought your introduction did a very good job framing
Speaker 1: the issue for the American public. We need to make
Speaker 1: sure that all Americans know the huge impact of what
Speaker 1: President Biden's trying to do and what's at stake with
Speaker 1: this huge Supreme Court fight. So, Sean, you set it
Speaker 1: up right. The day before Joe Biden took office, there
Speaker 1: was a DC Court decision that went way beyond anything
Speaker 1: we thought was even possible in terms of the EPA's
Speaker 1: authority to regulate admissions, to control America's energy sector, and
Speaker 1: to really run rough shot over the American economy. So
Speaker 1: as we've been watching what Joe Biden has been doing
Speaker 1: over the last few months and analyzing the law and
Speaker 1: that decision from the DC Circuit, we thought it was
Speaker 1: imperative to pull together a broad national coalition of ags
Speaker 1: and say, hey, look, the EPA doesn't have unlimited authority
Speaker 1: to transform the American economy. We have to make sure
Speaker 1: that decisions at the level of climate change, those are
Speaker 1: for Congress to debate and for the present to resolve.
Speaker 1: You cannot just put THEPA bureaucrats in charge of that.
Speaker 1: So we think we have a very compelling case. That's
Speaker 1: why we're going up to the Supreme Court. Sean. It
Speaker 1: builds on the big win we had in twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: when we obtained the historic state of the Obama Power Plan.
Speaker 1: But if you look at what Biden is trying to do,
Speaker 1: not only to wipeout coal, not only to dramatically curtail
Speaker 1: the use of natural gas, but to basically electrify the economy,
Speaker 1: and that electrification word that I'm used, and I'm not
Speaker 1: using in a positive way, this is actually going to
Speaker 1: dramatically increase fuel costs and crypl our ability to compete
Speaker 1: on the world stage. The other critical point shot I'd
Speaker 1: mentioned is that this is a giveaway to China. Biden
Speaker 1: when he's coming up with his number to say we're
Speaker 1: going to reduce emissions by fifty percent. He's doing that
Speaker 1: at the same time that China is going to be
Speaker 1: dramatically increasing its use of coal, and so we are
Speaker 1: unilaterally surrendering America's energy independence to one of our chief
Speaker 1: foreign rivals. This is a disaster of There was a
Speaker 1: news story today that they're also looking to partner with
Speaker 1: one of Saudi Arabia's biggest oil producing companies in that country.
Speaker 1: So that would tell me when you put those two
Speaker 1: items together, they're looking for world dominance, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: we've been warning about often when we get to hear
Speaker 1: audio we don't have cameras at the US and pre
Speaker 1: corporate we hear cases, the audio cases, and when they're
Speaker 1: presented and arguments are presented before the Supreme Court, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a very fascinating process. Somebody might on one side
Speaker 1: or the other side get out two words before the
Speaker 1: words why are you here? Why is this before us?
Speaker 1: And it's fascinating because if I mean, some justices Scalia
Speaker 1: was famous for this. You know, you can't get a
Speaker 1: full sentence out and he's going to hammer you with
Speaker 1: tough questions right out of the box and anyway, So
Speaker 1: when the question comes up, why are you here before us,
Speaker 1: why this is exactly what the role of the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court should be and what the judicial branch is all about.
Speaker 1: You are here because you are saying that this is unconstitutional.
Speaker 1: You are saying that they're bypassing that other branch of
Speaker 1: government that seems to be bypassed an awful lot, the
Speaker 1: coequal branch called the legislative branch. So when that question,
Speaker 1: assuming the Supreme Court will take this case, assuming it's taken,
Speaker 1: that question will be easily answered, won't it. It is,
Speaker 1: So the key is we get the Supreme Court to
Speaker 1: review it. And our argument why are we here is
Speaker 1: pretty clear. The Clean Air Act only gives the EPA
Speaker 1: limited authority when it comes to this regulation of greenhouse gasses.
Speaker 1: This is not the all powerful, almighty EPA. And decisions
Speaker 1: of this magnitude that would transform the whole economy that
Speaker 1: has to brusolved by Congress, signed it to law by
Speaker 1: the President. It's such a major change. So that is
Speaker 1: why we're here, and we think that this gets to
Speaker 1: the heart of what we the Supreme Court area already
Speaker 1: ruled in favor of back in twenty sixteen. That's why
Speaker 1: we just have to get this case to the court,
Speaker 1: and we think there's a good chance we could prevail.
Speaker 1: How soon will you know if they're willing to hear this.
Speaker 1: We're probably going to know in the fall, because normally
Speaker 1: it's the process. We filed the petition, you're the case yesterday,
Speaker 1: and obviously the government is going to have their opportunity
Speaker 1: to respond, and then we'll do a reply. So I
Speaker 1: beg some time in September October. Will mill all right?
Speaker 1: We appreciate the update, Attorney General, Great State of West Virginia,
Speaker 1: leading now nineteen other states now in a coalition against
Speaker 1: this unconstitutional, radical new Green Deal socialist madness that will
Speaker 1: impact every American and deeply impact at the idea of
Speaker 1: energy independence and high paying career jobs in the energy sector. Listen,
Speaker 1: why is this important? Well, when you start paying four
Speaker 1: or five dollars a gallon for gas and you're paying
Speaker 1: twice as much to heat and cool your home, then
Speaker 1: maybe you'll say why didn't we listen to Hannity? He
Speaker 1: was right from the beginning their environmdical environmental radicals. It
Speaker 1: is good for our national security. It is good for
Speaker 1: our financial security to be energy independent. Mister Attorney General,
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Appreciate it. Hey Sean,
Speaker 1: thank you, and be on the lookout this pie in
Speaker 1: the sky proposal of Biden. We're just beginning to unpack it.
Speaker 1: The devastations or economy is going to be something we
Speaker 1: haven't seen before if we don't stop it. Alright, I
Speaker 1: forw busy phones eight hundred and nine for one Shaw
Speaker 1: on our number. This is an interesting question, Martie is
Speaker 1: in the Great State of Kentucky. Well, all eyes, isn't
Speaker 1: the Kentucky Derby this weekend? Right? It is? It is
Speaker 1: that we're back on track. I think they're expecting about
Speaker 1: forty five thousand people there. How glad to hear that. Miss. Yeah, look,
Speaker 1: I know some people love it. I really I get it.
Speaker 1: I've never been to a Kentucky Derby and it's kind
Speaker 1: of cool. It's I guess traditional these these crazy hats
Speaker 1: the people wear mint julips. I wouldn't be caught dead
Speaker 1: drinking a mint julip in my life. It's not just
Speaker 1: it's never gonna happen. Just saying, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've ever had one. I know. No, I went to
Speaker 1: the be a couple of times back in college showing
Speaker 1: and uh, it's it's I've outgrown that. I guess I'll
Speaker 1: take either a beer or a Teito's. I'll be good.
Speaker 1: That'll that'll work for me. Yeah. Yeah, Well, and you
Speaker 1: know they're going to be wearing their face masks out
Speaker 1: there this weekend. I guess I don't know how the
Speaker 1: men you look drinking is going to go anywhere. Joe says,
Speaker 1: it's your patriotic duty. Now, even vaccinated Americans, you've got
Speaker 1: to wear your face mask. He said, it's your patriotic
Speaker 1: duty for God's sake. That's what he said, his words,
Speaker 1: not mine. Yeah, yeah, well I think he modeled that
Speaker 1: well on his name call with world leaders. Certainly ye
Speaker 1: showing us what strength looks like. They're wearing his face
Speaker 1: mask on a zoom cong But um, the reason I'm
Speaker 1: callin showIn. I'm wondering if you can help me understand why,
Speaker 1: if we're to believe what we're told that they've the
Speaker 1: use of this country are latching on to the socialist
Speaker 1: ideas as though there's something new. Um, I mean, I've
Speaker 1: got four kids of my own the last thing they
Speaker 1: want to be associated with his old ideas. And you know,
Speaker 1: you hear people refer to people in Joe's age group
Speaker 1: as boomers. You know, you've got Bernie in that same group. Um,
Speaker 1: but yet they're lasing onto these ideas that have been
Speaker 1: around since that. But frankly freedom in capitalism or new ideas.
Speaker 1: But you know, they're laughing on the ideas of Lenen
Speaker 1: and Stalin and m Castro and you know these people
Speaker 1: that are you know, from an era where um, you
Speaker 1: know it's certainly not cutting edge. Um. You know, when
Speaker 1: I was young, young people wanted freedom, young people wanted
Speaker 1: the government out of their lives. And I'm just wondering,
Speaker 1: if you can help me understand why are they lashing
Speaker 1: onto this and what can we do to better brand socialism.
Speaker 1: You know, look, Bill Mars said this recently on a show,
Speaker 1: and he was dead on accurate. He said, you know,
Speaker 1: all these millennials, yeah, sure, I love I love socialism
Speaker 1: and communism whatever whatever term we're giving it on any
Speaker 1: given day. And he goes, uh, yeah, they can't really
Speaker 1: understand that it's been tried before, it never worked before,
Speaker 1: and just because it didn't happen in their lifetime. Doesn't
Speaker 1: mean it didn't happen. It still looks you're old. You
Speaker 1: don't get it. Get what abolish the police and the
Speaker 1: border patrol and capitalism and cancel Lincoln. No, I get
Speaker 1: it that I don't get what you're saying, or that
Speaker 1: I'm old. The problem is that your ideas are stupid.
Speaker 1: If you say, let's eat in the bathroom and in
Speaker 1: the kitchen, yeah, that's a new idea, but I wouldn't
Speaker 1: call it in terror design. I mean, he actually he's
Speaker 1: been pretty good lately. I don't know what's happened. Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe he's becoming more Hannity like and that would probably
Speaker 1: blow his brains out of if he heard that. But um,
Speaker 1: that is I mean, he's right just because it didn't
Speaker 1: happen in their lifetime. And unfortunately there is this myopic
Speaker 1: view which is which probably explains the appeal that everything
Speaker 1: free sounds so good. Doesn't sound good, Marty. Everything's going
Speaker 1: to be free PreK education, daycare, free, free college, guaranteed
Speaker 1: government job, guaranteed government wage, guaranteed healthy government food, guaranteed, retirement,
Speaker 1: guaranteed health. It sounds great, but you're entrusting the same
Speaker 1: people that promised Medicare and Social Security would stay solvent.
Speaker 1: It's not the same people that promised Obamacare, keep your
Speaker 1: doctor plan and save money. None of it happened. The
Speaker 1: same people that can have law and order in our
Speaker 1: cities or keep people safe and secure, and the same
Speaker 1: people that destroyed the educational system and are wasting our
Speaker 1: money on education. Now we're going to trust them with
Speaker 1: something new and believe these ridiculous promises and spend untold
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars and throw it down the sewer, because
Speaker 1: that's where we're headed, down the sewer with it. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, Rush, you used to always say you can't
Speaker 1: compete with Santa Claus and I think the Democrats know
Speaker 1: that better than anybody. But you know, we've got to
Speaker 1: do a better job educating our youth. They're not getting
Speaker 1: history education in schools. We've got to let them know
Speaker 1: that these are not new ideas. We've got to do
Speaker 1: a better job letting them know where this is headed.
Speaker 1: I think conservatives are sometimes too polite. We don't want
Speaker 1: to compare what's happening in this country right now to
Speaker 1: those terrible Stalinist regimes that you know, the things that
Speaker 1: led to you know, just horrible conditions in the deaths
Speaker 1: of millions. It's like we're too polite to make those comparisons.
Speaker 1: But that's how it starts. That this is exactly how
Speaker 1: it started. This all starts of the school system that failed.
Speaker 1: That's why twenty twenty two. Yeah, our country is future
Speaker 1: is on the line. They can't even think about twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. A lot of important Senate races, and if
Speaker 1: we don't win them, it's not going to bode well.
Speaker 1: If we don't take back the house, it's not going
Speaker 1: to be good for our kids and grandkids future. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope that was worthwhile. Good call. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how do you compete with Santa Claus? Right? That sums
Speaker 1: it up. Santa Claus pretty appealing. You get everything for free,
Speaker 1: even if you're good or bad. Might get a piece
Speaker 1: of coal if you've been bad, I don't know. Quick
Speaker 1: break right back your calls on the other side, straight ahead,
Speaker 1: all right, twenty five to the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one sean if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. By the way,
Speaker 1: we have a bidendj nominee that helped organize an event
Speaker 1: that celebrated cop killers. Now you probably think I'm making
Speaker 1: this up. I'm not. Senator Ted Cruz grilled Kristen Clark,
Speaker 1: President Joe Biden's nominee that had the Civil Rights Division
Speaker 1: of the DOJ over her controversial pass. So Cruz says
Speaker 1: to her, your advocacy and frankly extreme position on defunding
Speaker 1: the police is paired with a history of not only
Speaker 1: excusing but celebrating murderers who have murdered police officers. By
Speaker 1: the way, we're now up I think thirty percent from
Speaker 1: this point last year, which was not particularly good in
Speaker 1: terms of police killed in the line of duty, over
Speaker 1: one hundred and eleven. Now and anyway, it's been reported
Speaker 1: that during your law school years that you helped organize
Speaker 1: a conference with speakers who referred to convicted cop killers
Speaker 1: as political prisoners, including Mumia abdu Jamal, that guy murdered
Speaker 1: of Philadelphia police officer, and Asada Shakur, who was convicted
Speaker 1: of murdering a New Jersey State trooper escaped from prison
Speaker 1: on the FBI's most wanted list. Did you organize the
Speaker 1: conference and do you support celebrating those that murder police
Speaker 1: officers as heroes? And political prisoners, he asked. So Clark
Speaker 1: said that the conference was organized by a noted historian
Speaker 1: and that she was a student providing support for the
Speaker 1: instant to working on a range of projects. She said
Speaker 1: she doesn't celebrate the loss of life. So crew says, so,
Speaker 1: if you didn't organize the conference, why did multiple speakers
Speaker 1: at the conference thank you by name for inviting them
Speaker 1: to speak at the conference? Great question, right, Well, that's
Speaker 1: because I was a hard working student and made sure
Speaker 1: the people were fed, and I mailed out invitations and
Speaker 1: provided the agenda. I was a student providing logistical support
Speaker 1: to a notable historian who was one of the one
Speaker 1: who organized the conference. So then Crews not missing a
Speaker 1: bee goes. So, if there is a police officer in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia or New Jersey today watching this hearing, how are
Speaker 1: they supposed to react to your nomination to one of
Speaker 1: the senior positions at the Department of Justice, Knowing that
Speaker 1: as a student, you participated in a conference that celebrated
Speaker 1: the killing and lionizing the killing of cop killers and
Speaker 1: murdering a Philadelphia police officer and in a New Jersey
Speaker 1: state trooper, how should a cop today watching this react
Speaker 1: to that news. She responds by claiming she does not
Speaker 1: celebrate the loss of life or killing of a police officer. Okay.
Speaker 1: By the way, new poll shows that America's police are
Speaker 1: way more popular than Joe Biden. Case you're interested NBC
Speaker 1: News survey, you know they've outraged him by about ten points. Now,
Speaker 1: there was a tweet sent out by Representative Corey Bush
Speaker 1: of Missouri. Today's decision to defund the Saint Louis Metropolitan
Speaker 1: Police Department is historic. It marks a new future for
Speaker 1: our city. Now, this has been on my mind a
Speaker 1: lot lately because we keep hearing Obama said it, many
Speaker 1: have said it. We've got to reimagine policing in America.
Speaker 1: Just listen. The last thing you need is an up
Speaker 1: farmer at HUMV coming into a neighborhood. It's like the
Speaker 1: military invading. They don't know anybody to become the enemy.
Speaker 1: They're supposed to protecting. These people. The folks in Long
Speaker 1: Horsemen that share the goals of reimagining police, we have
Speaker 1: confused the idea that to achieve safety you put more
Speaker 1: cops on the street. Reimagining policing in the twenty first century,
Speaker 1: My push is that we defund our police departments, and
Speaker 1: I know people don't want to hear Oh, we don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about defunding, rethinking and reimagining policing. I
Speaker 1: don't believe that officers need to necessarily have weapons, you know,
Speaker 1: every time they're they're making a traffic stop. Community efforts
Speaker 1: to reimagine policing, to reimagine policing, we have to reimagine
Speaker 1: what policing looks like. Reimagining policing, reimagining our public safety.
Speaker 1: Reimagine a citizen led approach. You can begin to reimagine
Speaker 1: law enforcement, reimagine public safety in this country, police power
Speaker 1: showing up in a kind of thanks the efug mentality.
Speaker 1: You know you don't you can wear all kinds of
Speaker 1: colors and be a FuG. You can sometimes well the
Speaker 1: colors of the state and behave like a thug. We
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised when we see police officers act like
Speaker 1: bullies on the street. What can we do to reimagine
Speaker 1: public safety? Reimagining public safety? To reimagine public safety, we
Speaker 1: must reimagine what public safety looks like. Reimagine what does
Speaker 1: that mean. Man brutally beat a Delaware police officer to death,
Speaker 1: charged with the killing of this police officer that's in
Speaker 1: the news today. We told you about all the retirements
Speaker 1: in New York with the NYPD. I mean, they're getting
Speaker 1: out as quickly as they can because reimagining means they
Speaker 1: can't do their job, and it's open season on cops.
Speaker 1: You have more than two hundred Seattle police officers, they
Speaker 1: quit two. We had Christy Noman earlier. She's saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: come to South Dakota. We respect your work, we appreciate
Speaker 1: the hard job you do every day. Come work for us.
Speaker 1: We're not defunding, We're not just mantling. We're not reimagining
Speaker 1: police departments. Washington Times had a piece out today about
Speaker 1: this Delaware police officer that died. I think there's now
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve and most of them shot killed
Speaker 1: in the line of duty. This one was beaten to
Speaker 1: death and two officers died and Wednesday after an attack,
Speaker 1: a North Carolina sheriff's deputy also killed when he was
Speaker 1: ambushed by a gunman while conducting a quote routine welfare check.
Speaker 1: It's clear police officers and now being targeted like never before.
Speaker 1: So I guess the reimagining part that people are talking
Speaker 1: about has to do with no police. How do you
Speaker 1: think that's going to work out? Who are you going
Speaker 1: to call? I keep asking the question, what are you
Speaker 1: going to do? I know what I'm gonna do. I'll
Speaker 1: be very, very frank. I'm not depending on anybody for
Speaker 1: my safety and security. I'm not. I just I depend
Speaker 1: on myself. I urge all of you to depend on
Speaker 1: yourselves too. Legal Lee, legally, stay away from as much
Speaker 1: conflict as possible. Tell my kids, if there's any gathering
Speaker 1: of people, stay as far the hell away as you
Speaker 1: possibly can, because there's nothing but trouble at these quote
Speaker 1: peaceful protests. All right, let's get to our busy telephones. Here.
Speaker 1: Dorian is in Oklahoma. Dorian, Hi, how are you glad
Speaker 1: you called? Hi? Thanks for having me on, Thank you
Speaker 1: for calling. So as things go on, you know, we
Speaker 1: see the country in evermore turmoil and eventually some of
Speaker 1: the older senators and whatnot are going to eventually retire
Speaker 1: and it's going to fall upon the younger people to
Speaker 1: get active and get into the government itself. So how
Speaker 1: should young conservatives get into the government itself? What are
Speaker 1: some things that we should be doing? Well? First of all,
Speaker 1: how old are you okay? Yes, twenty years. First of all,
Speaker 1: your light years ahead of your peers. Good for you.
Speaker 1: Um I kind of was in that position too, because
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, was drawn to radio and I just
Speaker 1: listened to these really smart people on the radio, and
Speaker 1: I got an education listening to them about this country,
Speaker 1: our constitution, about communism, socialism, radicalism, etc. Etc. So I
Speaker 1: learned a lot from that. The best thing you can
Speaker 1: do is wherever your passion takes you. You know, I
Speaker 1: used to say earlier in my career, we just we
Speaker 1: have to just bypass the media and become the media
Speaker 1: on our own. That's hence the rise of conservative talk radio,
Speaker 1: you know, the one outlet with a few of us
Speaker 1: on the Fox News channel. That that's another outlet at
Speaker 1: least where you can get some voices of conservatism. Other
Speaker 1: people choose the route of the political world, and you
Speaker 1: can get involved in that world. And maybe you start
Speaker 1: at a local level. Maybe you're on a city council,
Speaker 1: maybe you're on a school board. Maybe you run for
Speaker 1: state senator, a state assembly or whatever, be a state legislator.
Speaker 1: Then maybe you make your way to Congress and have
Speaker 1: a nice, big loud voice and let your principles, be
Speaker 1: heard and become a leader there. Don't just sit back
Speaker 1: and let others do the work. Maybe you become a senator,
Speaker 1: maybe become a president. The idea is, whatever you do,
Speaker 1: just do it. You know this life. You know, you're
Speaker 1: twenty years old around my kids age. I tell them
Speaker 1: in terms of their life and career, you know, putting
Speaker 1: aside dumb mistakes that all kids are capable of making.
Speaker 1: Don't be one of those kids throwing up in the bushes,
Speaker 1: for example. You're not ready to be a parent yet,
Speaker 1: you're too young. You've got a career to build. State
Speaker 1: never drugs, it's a spiral to hell, all those kind
Speaker 1: of things. You know, things to think about. But the
Speaker 1: next thing is you can short of that for a career.
Speaker 1: You can't really make a mistake right now, as long
Speaker 1: as you can provide for yourself and pay your rent
Speaker 1: and put food on your table and close on your back.
Speaker 1: Short of that, you can't really mess up yet. So
Speaker 1: you might as well experiment and find what you love
Speaker 1: to do and then see if you can turn that
Speaker 1: into a career. If politics is your passion, then look
Speaker 1: at the you can look at the media. You can
Speaker 1: maybe maybe you're a computer genius. Maybe you can start
Speaker 1: a big tech company and become the next Zuckerberg or
Speaker 1: Bill Gates or at Jack even. I don't know, um,
Speaker 1: but but you really can't make a mistake. If this
Speaker 1: is where your heart is, follow it, you know, find,
Speaker 1: you know, dig deep, see the talents within you, and
Speaker 1: doors will open. Makes sense. Yeah, So I do intend
Speaker 1: to run. So people like me who do want to
Speaker 1: run when we get of legal age and whatnot, are
Speaker 1: there any organizations that we could join, any that you
Speaker 1: would recommend? Yeah, Charlie Kirk's organization. I think that's a
Speaker 1: it's what's it called, It's Turning Points USA, buddy, Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1: You know, so you can start there. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day. For me, I just had to follow
Speaker 1: my own path, and I did. I I've been fair
Speaker 1: independence and so I'm very young. I mean, my father
Speaker 1: used to make you're just treating his house like a
Speaker 1: flop house. And in a way he was right because
Speaker 1: I'd come and go as I would choose. But he
Speaker 1: knew I was working because he would steal all my
Speaker 1: money when I came home and he'd tried to put
Speaker 1: it in a bank account. So at least half of
Speaker 1: it he'd take and save it for me, which ended
Speaker 1: up paying off for me in my life. And so
Speaker 1: when I'm dead asleep, I'd be, you know, snoring away.
Speaker 1: He'd go in my pocket. He'd take whatever cash I had,
Speaker 1: leave me, leave me a decent amount, and then put
Speaker 1: the rest of it in the bank for me. And
Speaker 1: I didn't appreciate it later in life, not at the time,
Speaker 1: but in the sense that I worked. I just loved
Speaker 1: working for me. Work was everything. Having money in my pocket,
Speaker 1: I loved it. You know, you can talk to any
Speaker 1: of my friends that knew me when I was in
Speaker 1: grade school and high school. I'd pull out these massive
Speaker 1: wads of cash and they like looking at what what
Speaker 1: is that? How do you get all of that money?
Speaker 1: And then I'd bargain with him. My best buddy Gomez,
Speaker 1: his dad made the best homemade chicken that he cook
Speaker 1: on the grill, and John he would get it once
Speaker 1: a week. He was sick of it, and I'm for me.
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, a gourmet steak and lobster
Speaker 1: dinner at the time, and all John wanted was the
Speaker 1: crappy pizza they sold in the cafeteria. So I'd say, here,
Speaker 1: give me the chicken, go by your crappy pizza and
Speaker 1: yodels and we got a deal. We used to do
Speaker 1: that all the time. So find something you love, get involved,
Speaker 1: have fun. I would say, read The Purpose Driven Life
Speaker 1: by Pastor Rick Warren, and the latest edition is really
Speaker 1: cool because you take your phone, you put your camera
Speaker 1: on this little square, do hinky, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: upcomes a lecture from Rick Warren. Pastor Rick Warren, Oh,
Speaker 1: I like a lot. He's a great guy. And then
Speaker 1: you get to listen to it and it enhances. It's
Speaker 1: forty days to change your life. Now you're gonna live
Speaker 1: whatever many days in your life. Take forty days to
Speaker 1: see what your purpose in life is. And it helps
Speaker 1: you think about these things. The other book i'd recommend
Speaker 1: as The Road Less Traveled, and the first part, the
Speaker 1: first sentence in that book is life is difficult. Everyone
Speaker 1: has to accept life is hard. I don't care where
Speaker 1: you come from, I don't care what your financial status.
Speaker 1: It's hard. And the last book if you for me,
Speaker 1: I'm not a proselytizer, but it does give me great comfort.
Speaker 1: Not as the Bible. You know a lot of good
Speaker 1: lessons to learn in the Bible. I never read the
Speaker 1: Old Testament. I've been reading the Old Testament and learning
Speaker 1: about King David and learning about Solomon and Moses and
Speaker 1: all these incredible people. And you know the amazing part
Speaker 1: is is you know they all failed God in some way.
Speaker 1: Peter denied Jesus three times, Saul of Tarsus persecuted Christians.
Speaker 1: Moses never made it to the Promised Land. The reason
Speaker 1: why is fascinating. David. You know, with five hundred concubines
Speaker 1: couldn't withstand the temptation of Beasheba, which led to adultery
Speaker 1: and the murder of Beshiba's husband. All of these are
Speaker 1: just life lessons that have helped me. And that's what
Speaker 1: I would recommend for you. And then the political side
Speaker 1: of it. You read Mark Levin's books and you'll get there.
Speaker 1: That's all good anyway, quick break eight hundred nine four
Speaker 1: one sewn. I hope that'll help you. Dorian, all right,
Speaker 1: my friend, God bless you. It's hard being a kid
Speaker 1: twenty and a conservative. Forget it all right, quick break,
Speaker 1: We'll come back. More calls on the other side. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one sewn. Friday little Friday fun.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw Bryce Harper get hit
Speaker 1: in the face with a ninety seven mile per hour fastball.
Speaker 1: Thank God, he's okay. But then the next batter D. D.
Speaker 1: Gregory's got hit with the next pitch and it became
Speaker 1: a big controversy. Long time announcer for the Phillies Larry
Speaker 1: Anderson will join us. That is up next and your calls.
Speaker 1: Final half hour eight hundred nine four one. Shawn our
Speaker 1: number on this Friday. Come up next our final news
Speaker 1: round up and information overload hour all right, News round Up,
Speaker 1: Information overload, Our Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred nine pot one.
Speaker 1: Shawn is our number. We'll get to a lot of
Speaker 1: your calls this last hour of the program today. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm annoyed with politics and sports, but I can't help that.
Speaker 1: I have a passion for sports, and I've always loved baseball.
Speaker 1: I was a pitcher when I was a kid, and
Speaker 1: I've told this story many times in the past where
Speaker 1: I either struck everybody out or I was throwing the
Speaker 1: ball over the backstop and I had like no control.
Speaker 1: It was, you know, is it a good day or
Speaker 1: is it a bad day? Or I might have four
Speaker 1: good innings and then I'd become then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: that just left me. I don't know what would happen.
Speaker 1: I used to drive my coaches crazy, but I played
Speaker 1: varsity in my freshman year of high school and as
Speaker 1: a pitcher, and I love the game. And anyway, so
Speaker 1: I saw this video. I had not been watching the game.
Speaker 1: I saw it after the fact, and total chaos breaks
Speaker 1: out when this game is going on. Now, I happen
Speaker 1: to be a big fan Bryce Harper. He's with the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies, and I'm watching this game. I think it
Speaker 1: was against the Cardinals. Was against the Cardinals, right, And anyway,
Speaker 1: he got hit in the face with a ninety seven
Speaker 1: a mile per hour fastball, hit right in the face
Speaker 1: first pitch of a relief pitcher comes into the game. Now,
Speaker 1: the pitcher's reaction as such that he didn't mean to
Speaker 1: do it, And having had that experience myself when I
Speaker 1: didn't have control, I felt like I could relate to
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Then the next batter comes up,
Speaker 1: and he hits the next batter and like every you know,
Speaker 1: all hell's about to break loose. Joe Girardi is now
Speaker 1: back in the game. He's managing. He used to manage
Speaker 1: for the Yankees and now he's managing for the Phillies.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is pissed. He's walking off the field. Now.
Speaker 1: They didn't throw the pitcher out of the game. They
Speaker 1: ended up throwing Joe Girardi out of the game because
Speaker 1: he's so ticked off over it. Rightly so. And he's
Speaker 1: standing up for his players, and he's walking off the field.
Speaker 1: He tells the picture throw the ball over the blanking plate.
Speaker 1: I mean, it just it just cracked me up. He
Speaker 1: talked about it after the game anyway, the Saint Louis
Speaker 1: picture who hit Bryce Harper and one of the other batters.
Speaker 1: This is what he said. And obviously you were pretty pissed,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, at ating the warnings to both benches
Speaker 1: or and then what did you say? What did you
Speaker 1: say to Cabrera? He didn't even look like you're blowing
Speaker 1: on a big league field. Well, what I have really
Speaker 1: nuts to say? Nothing to him. I was motioned that
Speaker 1: he should be thrown out, right. I understand why they
Speaker 1: give the warnings, right, I understand they don't want things
Speaker 1: to escalate. They don't want people to get hit but
Speaker 1: if a guy hits a guy in the face and
Speaker 1: a guy in the ribs with two pitches, he's got
Speaker 1: to go, right, if you're really protecting the players, Obviously
Speaker 1: he doesn't have command, he's got to go. But if
Speaker 1: I got another left hip, I mean, now, I got
Speaker 1: a short stop that probably might have to have imaging
Speaker 1: on his ribs, and you're going to let him stay
Speaker 1: in the game. Is the three batter minimal? I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's got to go. And I had a problem with
Speaker 1: him not going, you know, And I don't think he
Speaker 1: did it on purpose. I'm not saying that, but for
Speaker 1: the protection of the players, he's got to go, all right.
Speaker 1: Joining us now, Larry Anderson. Larry's a former Phillies pitcher
Speaker 1: himself turned a seventeen year playing career into an incredible
Speaker 1: career in the broadcast booth, calling games for the Phillies
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season. Now it marks Larry Anderson's
Speaker 1: twenty fourth year serving as a color analyst for Phillies games.
Speaker 1: First of all, first of all, I'm a fan a
Speaker 1: b It's an honor to have you on the program
Speaker 1: and see, wow, this was a this was pretty scary
Speaker 1: day for me because I'm a big fan of Bryce Harper. Sean,
Speaker 1: it's my honor to be on the show. But you're right,
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, I mean him getting hit. He's the facetar franchise.
Speaker 1: And you know, it doesn't matter if it's the twenty
Speaker 1: sixth man on the team or the face of the franchise.
Speaker 1: When when you get pitches up around your head, that's
Speaker 1: what that's that's the absolute taboo. No, no, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna throw at somebody, even if it's intentional,
Speaker 1: you know you're told you throw, you try and hit
Speaker 1: it in the ribs. You know actually where Dede Gregorious
Speaker 1: got hit with the next pitch, um if you're going
Speaker 1: to do it, if it's something, I used to play
Speaker 1: for the Yankees, so I know I saw that. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: now you're a former pitcher. Can you would all relate
Speaker 1: to what this picture was going through or can you
Speaker 1: relate to my experience? Obviously I was nowhere near your
Speaker 1: caliber picture, but I did pitch for many years as
Speaker 1: a kid. It's you have nowadays. What you have is
Speaker 1: everything's about velocity as far as the pitching. You know,
Speaker 1: scouts look, they look for guys at high school kids
Speaker 1: that throw in the nineties already, college kids that are
Speaker 1: already ninety five. They're just looking for velocity and a
Speaker 1: lot of the command of the pitches is forgotten about.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, you get young kids coming
Speaker 1: up to throw hard, obviously not a lot of experience,
Speaker 1: and pitches just get away, and I think, you know
Speaker 1: this kid, and here's a class act to Harper sent
Speaker 1: a text after the game to the kid that said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I know you weren't trying to hurt me. You're trying
Speaker 1: to throw at me, which was just a class act
Speaker 1: in itself, and their manager might shilt even commented on
Speaker 1: that afterwards. But if you can't control it, you probably
Speaker 1: shouldn't be at this level. And I think that's what
Speaker 1: Girardi was saying, Hey, somebody's going to get hurt really bad.
Speaker 1: I mean, for Harper not to Apparently the CT scans
Speaker 1: and everything were clean, so nothing broken, which is just amazing.
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Kinsler, one of our relievers, said, this guy,
Speaker 1: if he's not done anything broken into face, this guy's
Speaker 1: made a steal. I mean it was, but it's just
Speaker 1: so scary. And then to come back with the next
Speaker 1: pitch and get a guy in the back in the ribs.
Speaker 1: It's just I think, And the thing is, you could,
Speaker 1: you could. You're now facing potentially, you know, an injury,
Speaker 1: which you know, there's only so much time that you're
Speaker 1: physically going to be able to participate in any sport.
Speaker 1: You got a very you got a very small window.
Speaker 1: For most athletes now, d D. Gregorious and Bryce Harper,
Speaker 1: they've had long careers, but everything is writing on them
Speaker 1: staying healthy, which is why they spend so much time
Speaker 1: doing cross training, stamina building, strength training, stretching, injury prevention,
Speaker 1: and you see them behind the scenes. It is a
Speaker 1: full time job on season, off season, in one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty whatever games a year. Makes it even more grind,
Speaker 1: more of a grind for baseball players, no question. I
Speaker 1: mean back when I was, when I was playing, especially
Speaker 1: when I first started, you couldn't work out twenty four
Speaker 1: seven and you know, every day the year because you
Speaker 1: had to work another job. Him salary when I first
Speaker 1: got to the big leagues in seventy five was fourteen thousand,
Speaker 1: five hundred. So even though it's you know, we're a
Speaker 1: lot fifty years removed from that, it's still that it
Speaker 1: still wasn't a whole lot of money to make it
Speaker 1: through a whole year, so you had to work other jobs. Nowadays,
Speaker 1: everything is the players are paid so much minimum salaries
Speaker 1: over a half a million. You have the opportunity to
Speaker 1: work out year round. And that's what these guys, that's
Speaker 1: why they're throwing harder, running faster. They're stronger, and I
Speaker 1: think that's where there is some of the danger of
Speaker 1: these guys that are so strong go so hard. You
Speaker 1: just it's just scary. And I honestly can't believe that
Speaker 1: that Bryce survived that without injuries that we know. We
Speaker 1: don't know for sure Beaty is going to need any
Speaker 1: X rays on his ribs. He said he was stilling
Speaker 1: better yesterday, so that's a good sign. But I mean,
Speaker 1: you're right that the careers are short and you you
Speaker 1: do everything you can and get as much linked as
Speaker 1: you can into your career and for the best. But
Speaker 1: when when he get pitches like that that can end
Speaker 1: a career, that that's that's just where you just have
Speaker 1: to stop and to wait a minute, this this isn't right.
Speaker 1: I actually think that the manager of the Cardinals should
Speaker 1: have pulled him after d D. Greglorious got hit and
Speaker 1: he should just realize, Okay, you're not on your a
Speaker 1: game today. It was a right handed batter. Next they
Speaker 1: got a base hit, if I remember, and the goal
Speaker 1: ahead run came in um in that particular case. But
Speaker 1: you know, now there's pitcher's future is on the line
Speaker 1: here too, because if he has one more outing like
Speaker 1: this anytime soon, he's probably gonna be sent down to
Speaker 1: the miners. Right, even if he doesn't John's, it's in
Speaker 1: his head. He knows. And I really think him hitting
Speaker 1: a Glorious with the very next pitch was him wanting
Speaker 1: to throw a pitch inside but saying, Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: want to make a mistake, but I don't want to
Speaker 1: hit him. Steve Carlton taught me a long time ago
Speaker 1: about when pitching, the thought precedes the action. He's probably thinking, Okay,
Speaker 1: I can't hit this guy. That's what you're gonna do
Speaker 1: because he's thinking that that and I think that's probably
Speaker 1: what happened. And it's a young pitcher inexperience, and you
Speaker 1: start thinking that way, and all of a sudden you're
Speaker 1: not You're not pitching your game. And I think the
Speaker 1: other thing too. You do what he did, it can
Speaker 1: have a mental effect on him for the rest of
Speaker 1: his life. He might not be able to throw another strike,
Speaker 1: you know, the rest of this year or ever. Again.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying he won't, but those are
Speaker 1: the things that can happen. They can creep into your
Speaker 1: mind and can just destroy you mentally, would keep you
Speaker 1: from from from pitching anymore. Yeah, well, there is the
Speaker 1: three There is a three hit or rule where pitchers
Speaker 1: need to be to pitch to at least three batters.
Speaker 1: So now the umpsol huddled together after both players got hit.
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper and Didi Gregorious got hit, and so I
Speaker 1: and I felt watching it, I did not feel it
Speaker 1: was intentional. You didn't think it was intentional, Girardi said
Speaker 1: he didn't think it was intentional. You know, usually if
Speaker 1: you think it's intentional, those benches are gonna empty and
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a brawl, right, Yeah, yep, that's going
Speaker 1: to happen. But I think again, even you know that
Speaker 1: you talked, A couple of comments were made about old
Speaker 1: school baseball. Were old school baseball is you threw up
Speaker 1: around the guy's head. There's going to be retaliation and
Speaker 1: that's that's just a no. Though. If you want to
Speaker 1: throw at somebody, you hit him in the back, you
Speaker 1: hit him in the in the butt, hit him in
Speaker 1: the hip, you know, in the ribs, but up around
Speaker 1: the head, whether it's intentional or not, that's there's no
Speaker 1: excuse for that. And I think part of the thing
Speaker 1: Girardi's thing was, you know, there is a three batter rule,
Speaker 1: but the umpires could have ejected him, and honestly, I
Speaker 1: think their manager probably wish they would have ejected him
Speaker 1: after two batters, but I guess the umpires just decided
Speaker 1: to go with the rules that he's got to face
Speaker 1: another hitter at the expense of the next hitter, who
Speaker 1: knows where the ball is going to go, And it's
Speaker 1: I think that was what Girardi's point was. It, Hey,
Speaker 1: this guy's going to hurt somebody. But whether it's intentional
Speaker 1: or not, he's not trying. I don't think he is,
Speaker 1: but he could hurt somebody get in the career. Let's
Speaker 1: let's put an end to this right now. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what his point was, that we got to
Speaker 1: stop this. I'll tell you an incident and scared the
Speaker 1: hell out of me. Of my life. So I was
Speaker 1: at a Yankee game, and you know, I was sitting if,
Speaker 1: for example, you know the netting behind home plate, right,
Speaker 1: it goes to a certain length, maybe just a few
Speaker 1: feet beyond that, in other words, not protected and up
Speaker 1: maybe halfway in the in the first row of seats.
Speaker 1: Of ways. Anyway, it's just the weirdest circumstance. The Yankees
Speaker 1: doctor happened to be a fan of mine, came down
Speaker 1: to say hello. He sits down, I'm talking to him.
Speaker 1: Next thing, out of the corner of my eye, I
Speaker 1: see a ball coming right at my son, who was
Speaker 1: sitting on the other side of me, and hit him
Speaker 1: in the face a line drive, now, you know, really
Speaker 1: scary moment, and he went right to the ground. Then
Speaker 1: the ball bounces all over the place. I mean, you heard,
Speaker 1: and I remember it was like slow motion. That was
Speaker 1: I didn't have I wasn't paying attention at that moment.
Speaker 1: I was talking to the doctor. And anyway, the Yankees
Speaker 1: were great. I didn't know every stadium until then that
Speaker 1: they literally have teams spread all throughout the stadium, because
Speaker 1: this is something that happens quite often. And obviously you
Speaker 1: take a risk and everything you do. But they were great.
Speaker 1: They had medical professionals. They immediately surrounded my son. You know,
Speaker 1: when he stood up, he actually had an applause. I
Speaker 1: don't think he remembers it. Whoever did get the foul
Speaker 1: ball actually handed him the foul ball, which was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: And they pull you in the back of a room.
Speaker 1: You know, you get immediate medical attention, and they suggested we,
Speaker 1: just for safety reasons, go to get an X ray.
Speaker 1: We went. Everything was fine, thank god, but it was
Speaker 1: a pretty big hit. And then they follow up and
Speaker 1: you know, here's who would you like to get an
Speaker 1: autographed baseball from? And that sort of thing. How common
Speaker 1: is that? I think it's it's real common. They're so
Speaker 1: protective of the fans and having medical people around the stadium,
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the game, just because of that very thing.
Speaker 1: Now that knitting has been extended much further. Now it's
Speaker 1: almost down all the way the foul lines in the
Speaker 1: in the front rows um, which obviously you know when
Speaker 1: those balls come in, like boy, your son and me,
Speaker 1: you think about where it hit him or where it
Speaker 1: could have hit him where you know, where it could
Speaker 1: have just you know, just destroyed his mouth. And I
Speaker 1: saw it at something. I think it just it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, just a fluke thing, right, I mean, who
Speaker 1: would have ever suspected it? Well, Larry Listen, we're putting
Speaker 1: the video of this up on Hannity dot com. And
Speaker 1: even if you're not a big sports fan, you still
Speaker 1: you got to watch this because it's fascinating. I love
Speaker 1: to watch the best in whatever sport is playing, and
Speaker 1: there's nobody really better right now. Bryce Harper happens to
Speaker 1: be just a franchise players with the Phillies now and
Speaker 1: uh as you are a franchise broadcaster. Congratulations. Now your
Speaker 1: twenty fourth season as a color analyst for the Phillies games.
Speaker 1: What a great transition after a great player career yourself
Speaker 1: for seventeen years. Congratulations. Well, I appreciate that very much.
Speaker 1: It's it was an easy transition for the most part
Speaker 1: because you kind of know the game, and so it's
Speaker 1: not for it's not for everybody. Broadcasting is not it's
Speaker 1: not an easy transition for other people. I can tell
Speaker 1: you that it shows your incredible depth and skills in
Speaker 1: many areas. It's it's it's it's a fun road and
Speaker 1: it's something I love doing. And uh I love Philadelphia
Speaker 1: and so it's it's in my blood and I just
Speaker 1: I enjoy it and I hope everybody else does too.
Speaker 1: When I'm broadcasting, well, I hope to see you one
Speaker 1: day and uh and pay a visit. I'd love to
Speaker 1: love to meet up with you and have a Philly
Speaker 1: Chiefe steak with you, my friend. Thank you. Oh, I
Speaker 1: would love it anytime. All right. That's Larry Anderson. He
Speaker 1: is the voice of the Phillies twenty four years now.
Speaker 1: By the way, pitcher, seventeen year career. That's that's a
Speaker 1: long career in baseball or any sport. Quick break right
Speaker 1: back your calls on the other side, straight ahead. One
Speaker 1: of the things I just love about sports, Hannity, Why
Speaker 1: are you talking sports? We got sports talk stations for that,
Speaker 1: because I love sports. What is it about sports? Sports
Speaker 1: mirrors life. You take an individual sport, boxing, golf, tennis,
Speaker 1: and of course MMA, right UFC fighters. You know that
Speaker 1: that is an individual sport. I mean, ever, you live
Speaker 1: and die by what you do on your own. You're
Speaker 1: out there alone, you know, even in a way pitching,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you need to catch her on a
Speaker 1: team behind you, but you know that's that's an individual
Speaker 1: position like other position players. But what do you learn
Speaker 1: about sports? Number One, it's hard. The harder you work,
Speaker 1: the better you usually do. You have to learn with
Speaker 1: you win and win graciously and be a gracious loser.
Speaker 1: Occasionally you're not going to always win, right. If you
Speaker 1: play a team sport, you got to learn to work
Speaker 1: with others and good teammates. Good chemistry usually helps the team.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes one of the best things a teammate
Speaker 1: can do to another teammate. If somebody's in a slump,
Speaker 1: somebody has a bad day, somebody has a bad loss
Speaker 1: of some kind, as to say, put it behind you,
Speaker 1: let's go, We move forward. And that's life. Life is
Speaker 1: not easy, all right. Let's get to our phones. June
Speaker 1: is in South Carolina. What's up, June? How are you
Speaker 1: glad you called? Hey? Can you hear me? I can
Speaker 1: hear your fine? How are you? I'm good? Thank you?
Speaker 1: How are you good? Good? I don't know how to
Speaker 1: segue from sports into Tim Scott, Just go right to it.
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts on your great senator? Oh? He is amazing.
Speaker 1: I first met him about twenty five years ago, Sean
Speaker 1: at a church in a four year, and he had
Speaker 1: something special about him. And I was with my husband
Speaker 1: and I were with my girlfriend and her husband. He
Speaker 1: came over to us and he was just so encouraging.
Speaker 1: And then I saw him kind of working that room,
Speaker 1: and my girlfriend said, I knew him in high school.
Speaker 1: He's always been like that. He just encourages people. It's genuine,
Speaker 1: and I hear people saying at a national level he
Speaker 1: seemed so genuine. And I'm telling you, I knew him
Speaker 1: before he ran for office. Went to church with him
Speaker 1: for ten years and would see him and he would speak,
Speaker 1: and he's genuine and it comes from the right place
Speaker 1: his motives. I mean, I don't know him intimately, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, but I know the community that he fostered,
Speaker 1: and that I sat in the same sermons as he did.
Speaker 1: In fact, what he said at the end of his
Speaker 1: speech is how our pastor ended all of his sermons.
Speaker 1: That's actually a fascinating insight and story into him. I
Speaker 1: just we've just gotten to know him on this program.
Speaker 1: And we don't always agree on every year show. Nobody
Speaker 1: agree with everybody on every issue, but it's amazing to me.
Speaker 1: The fallout of this is you see the left for
Speaker 1: who they are and the viciousness. It was repulsive, these
Speaker 1: attacks at Jack twelve hours. You're gonna let it, let
Speaker 1: it trend, Uncle Tim, you know you see it on
Speaker 1: NBC News ms DNC, the horrific language used by the left,
Speaker 1: obviously threatened by by conservatives that are African American. Dennie
Speaker 1: Borelli said it so well and as she wrote the book,
Speaker 1: it was bestseller, Blacklash, And she starts the book says,
Speaker 1: google my name, see what names I've been called, and
Speaker 1: the life that she's had to live, and she never
Speaker 1: let it bother her to the extent I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sure it hurts, you know. I just happened to be
Speaker 1: one of the rare people that I just don't give
Speaker 1: a rip. I don't care anymore what people say or
Speaker 1: think about me. But it takes a while to build
Speaker 1: up enough antibodies for that. And he's such a good man,
Speaker 1: as you point out, with such a good heart, loves
Speaker 1: his home state of South Carolina. And it's fascinating to
Speaker 1: watch both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris agree with his statement.
Speaker 1: Most of American, most Americans are not racist. They are not.
Speaker 1: That's just a fact. Now, there are always going to
Speaker 1: be the few, the ignorant among us. There's always going
Speaker 1: to be evil people around us. That is the story
Speaker 1: of the human experience that I'm sure came up once
Speaker 1: or twice in church that you attended. And but there
Speaker 1: are people that you know, we believe in natural law,
Speaker 1: what is natural law, that we're endowed by our creator,
Speaker 1: and that if you believe that that God created every man,
Speaker 1: woman and child, then you believe that God put talents
Speaker 1: in every man, woman and child. In government, you know,
Speaker 1: in its best state and necessary evil, and it's worst
Speaker 1: state and intolerable one. And that's why we believe rights
Speaker 1: come from God, not from government. That's why we believe
Speaker 1: as can servitors and limited government and greater freedom. So
Speaker 1: you bring those talents to fruition and you know, hopefully
Speaker 1: share them with the rest of humanity. And then most
Speaker 1: people then in the course of their life, they get
Speaker 1: to make choices, and there's always the temptations of life,
Speaker 1: and you make choices good versus evil every day of
Speaker 1: your life, and you live with the consequences of those choices. Unfortunately, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned talents. Tim has a gift for encouragement.
Speaker 1: It's a gift. Like my girlfriend said, he was like
Speaker 1: that in high school. You're not going to take that
Speaker 1: from him. It's embedded in him and it goes deep,
Speaker 1: and I see him rising above all of this. I
Speaker 1: don't even know, you know, I heard that uncle Tim
Speaker 1: was trending and I'm like, oh, they put a positive
Speaker 1: spin on it because they're talking about Tim Scott because
Speaker 1: I know who he is. And I'm like, well, that's
Speaker 1: a good whatever it is, that's a good thing. But
Speaker 1: I see him rising above it. When I appreciated so
Speaker 1: much in his speech is he talked about the Republicans
Speaker 1: and the Conservative's vision rather than just simply harp or
Speaker 1: just he didn't land on the negative the socialism. We
Speaker 1: know that is just not where we need to be.
Speaker 1: But he talked about the Republican's vision. We have an agenda,
Speaker 1: you know, and when the Democrats when Trump was in office,
Speaker 1: their only agenda was Trump bad, red man, orange man bad,
Speaker 1: that was it. But we have a winning agenda and
Speaker 1: Tim just expressed that so well, and that's where it lands.
Speaker 1: I came after that, after that speech. It gave me
Speaker 1: a hope because I know he has the same vision
Speaker 1: that we all as conservatives do, and he just keeps
Speaker 1: on that vision. All of the other stuff is noise
Speaker 1: to him. I would think, knowing what I know about him,
Speaker 1: you know, my take is those niefs feel it. Yes,
Speaker 1: ye does it hurt and sting? I bet it does.
Speaker 1: That's my gut m only because you know, I've been
Speaker 1: doing this thirty three years and I've watched people going
Speaker 1: through absolute hell. When you're in the public eye and
Speaker 1: you're getting the crap kick daddy, and it's not exactly
Speaker 1: like Sunday afternoon at church. Let's go home and have
Speaker 1: a summer barbecue. And when it gets real hard. You
Speaker 1: know in my friends in life that I want to
Speaker 1: call them and reach out to them when they're under fire,
Speaker 1: under pressure, having trouble, having difficulty. When everything's going fine,
Speaker 1: you don't really need me at that point in time,
Speaker 1: right right when I see somebody's in trouble, that that's
Speaker 1: what I'd like to go in and offer whatever help
Speaker 1: I can offer. Yeah, And I tried to offer that
Speaker 1: to Tim Scott because I suspect that it probably did
Speaker 1: hurt them. And that's you know, you know, that's why
Speaker 1: I'm calling you today because I think I for thousands
Speaker 1: of people in the Charleston area who have known this
Speaker 1: man for decades. He's brilliant, He's that I think. I
Speaker 1: think we have a war on racism. Like it or not,
Speaker 1: we're in it, and I think he's the one to
Speaker 1: help us end it. We've got to fight against this
Speaker 1: racism thing. It destroys relationships, it's it divides us, it's futile,
Speaker 1: it will end, and we're in a war and we
Speaker 1: need to end it. And I think he's the one
Speaker 1: to help us do it. Not because he's a token,
Speaker 1: but because I know his heart. I know where it
Speaker 1: comes from, the same God that he serves. I know
Speaker 1: that I serve, and I know that he gets strength
Speaker 1: in that. And that's one another reason why I'm calling, Like,
Speaker 1: like you said, those of us who know him need
Speaker 1: to support him and need to express that, and that
Speaker 1: I expect that the support back in South Carolina. I bet,
Speaker 1: I bet all the good people of South Carolina, the
Speaker 1: overwhelming majority the ninete are are disgusted at what they
Speaker 1: saw unfold this week, and they're proud of him, and
Speaker 1: they will support him. And I don't even mention too
Speaker 1: often that you know he's up for reelection in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. But he is because I'm actually very confident
Speaker 1: that he's gonna win reelection because I know the people
Speaker 1: South Carolina and how they feel about him, and I
Speaker 1: think that him and Lindsay together make a very good team.
Speaker 1: And so anyway, good call, June. We appreciate you being
Speaker 1: able to add that context. I think it means a lot.
Speaker 1: Let's say hi to Jody's in Arizona. Hey, Jody, how
Speaker 1: are you? Sean? Thanks for having me, Oh, thank you
Speaker 1: for calling. I just wanted to talk about I'm a
Speaker 1: parent in Arizona, and I wanted to talk about our
Speaker 1: kids being made to wear masks in their schools, even
Speaker 1: after our governor lifted the mandate KA three twelve. What
Speaker 1: do you think of Biden saying, yes, of course, it's
Speaker 1: your patriotic responsibility quote for God's sakes to wear for
Speaker 1: vaccinated Americans to wear masks. I thought we were told
Speaker 1: something different. Weren't we told that we'd be able to
Speaker 1: return to normal life after vaccination. Yes, and our kids
Speaker 1: weren't even uh, they weren't even affected by this. There
Speaker 1: is even the science even showed that there they were
Speaker 1: not affected. But yet they still want the school districts
Speaker 1: here still want to keep them um masked. And we've
Speaker 1: been going to meeting the board meetings and they still
Speaker 1: are putting them in mass and keeping them even into
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty two. I mean, look, I don't
Speaker 1: get it. It was a great article I read today,
Speaker 1: and again, I'm very pro science. I love science, I
Speaker 1: love medicine, I love I'm very pro vaccine. I have
Speaker 1: no problems with with you know, science coming up with
Speaker 1: ways from people to prevent people from dying and getting sick.
Speaker 1: But it's but I'm not a doctor, you know, those
Speaker 1: that are trying to pressure me into telling all of
Speaker 1: you what to do with your life. That I have
Speaker 1: no knowledge of your medical condition or the medical condition
Speaker 1: of anyone that listens to this program, and it's not
Speaker 1: my place. I can encourage you to read, to learn,
Speaker 1: to study, and then to consult with the medical professionals
Speaker 1: in your life that you trust, that know your unique
Speaker 1: medical condition, and then make your decision. It's the only
Speaker 1: way to do it, anyway, Yeah, I do. Our parental
Speaker 1: rights are gone, our constitutional rights, our parental rights are gone.
Speaker 1: We had to talk to our kids about suicide. I
Speaker 1: mean there's depression going on. My sixteen year old wanted
Speaker 1: to get a vaccine so he can get his masks off,
Speaker 1: but I told him it's not going to matter. Even
Speaker 1: if you've got a vaccine, you're still gonna have to
Speaker 1: wear a mask. So I just want to mass off.
Speaker 1: Many majority parents want our kids being listen. There are
Speaker 1: psychological effects that we're talking about here, physiological effects. I've
Speaker 1: read a lot about it, and you know I can
Speaker 1: say is New York still has kids doing remote learning
Speaker 1: and in Florida they've had schools open since August of
Speaker 1: last year. Anyway, thank you Jody Don lank Ron Concom.
Speaker 1: We have a minute and a half for you, and
Speaker 1: then we got to wrap up. Hey, Sean, thanks to
Speaker 1: my call. Yeah, I just want to echo junior caller
Speaker 1: about Senator Tim Scott. His response to the Divider in
Speaker 1: Chief was far more uplifting than anything Biden said during
Speaker 1: his his low rated, poorly viewed Marxist pep rally. An
Speaker 1: America story they heard about it. Yeah, your your show. Well,
Speaker 1: I uh can you repeat that again? You're left as
Speaker 1: pep rally. That was great. It's low rated, poorly viewed
Speaker 1: Marxist pep rally. Oh my gosh, that's awesome. Linda, write
Speaker 1: that down. We got to steal that. That's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna give it, but we got to tweet that out
Speaker 1: that Don Lake Ronkung coma, this is what he just
Speaker 1: said on the Sean Hannity Show. Well, he set him
Speaker 1: off to Luney left. He set him off because he
Speaker 1: just counted all their hypocrisy with his response, and it
Speaker 1: was it was a brilliant response and very uplifting, very
Speaker 1: well said. I mean, he's a he's a rock star,
Speaker 1: and I can see him as a president one day.
Speaker 1: One other thing, herschel Walker looks like he's gonna run
Speaker 1: in Georgia. I think if he runs, he wins. We've
Speaker 1: had the lieutenant governor African American and in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: What a rock star he is. We've had. Now there
Speaker 1: are two African American women that are competing for the
Speaker 1: for the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania. Rock stars, amazing people.
Speaker 1: He had one of them on the air. She was amazing.
Speaker 1: Kathy Barnett was phenomenal, Mark Robinson, North Carolina. These guys
Speaker 1: are amazing. All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Speaker 1: Hannity tonight, nine eastern on the Fox News Channel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now Biden's being pressured. Yeah, we need to cancel out
Speaker 1: conservative the voices. We need a government agency to decide
Speaker 1: what is truth and what is not truth. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: a little scary. Joe Concho, Lara Trump. Also the latest
Speaker 1: on the double standard in terms of application of our
Speaker 1: laws and equal justice under the law, Professor Alan Dershowitz,
Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett, Chris Christie hasn't been on in years. He's
Speaker 1: going to be on tonight. We'll talk to him about
Speaker 1: all things political. Cops in America under siege, All happening tonight,
Speaker 1: nine eastern on Fox on Hannity on the Fox News Channel.
