1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: All right, our two Sean Hannity Show. Thanks for being 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: with us eight hundred and ninety four one Sean, if 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. All right, So, 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: how worried, how concerned should Americans be about this banking collapse, 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: these banking stocks and Joe Biden. Look the entire administration, 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: they've they've settled on telling you one thing after another. 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: Everything is safe, everything is secure, everything is solid, okay, 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: And then Joe Biden says no losses will be borne 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: by taxpayers over the bank closures. Now, remember your FDIC 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: insurance goes up to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: I keep calling this Biden's billionaire bailout because regardless of 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: what people had in terms of FDIC insurance, he's guaranteeing 13 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: all the money will be paid back. But he says 14 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: no losses will be borne by the American taxpayers over 15 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: the bank closures. So I guess that means that Joe Biden, 16 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: maybe his son Hunter will kick in, maybe his brother 17 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: Jim will kick in. But apparently they're telling you you're 18 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: not gonna have to pay a penny. Listen to Joe, 19 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: all customers who had deposits in these banks can rest assured. 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna rest assured they'll be protected and they'll have 21 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: access to their money. As of today, that includes small 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: businesses across the country that bank there and need to 23 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: make payroll, pay their bills, and stay open for business. 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: No losses will be in iman. This is an important point. 25 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: No losses will be borne by the taxpayers. I'm gonna 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: repeat that, no losses will be born by the taxpayers. Instead, 27 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: the money will come from the fees at banks paying 28 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: to the deposit Insurance Fund. Okay, If the taxpayers aren't 29 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: going to pay it, where's Joe getting the money from? 30 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: Because the money's got to come from somewhere. There was 31 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: an interesting piece in The New York Post today that 32 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: you Joe decides to toss out the rule book and 33 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: guarantee deposits that exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Okay, 34 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: so why well? The New York Post reports that the 35 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: Biden administrations moved to protect customer deposits at the Silicon 36 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: Valley Bank is rankling critics who call it a gift 37 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: to wealthy Democratic donors in the tech sector. I call 38 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: it Biden's billionaire bill out myself, even as mom and 39 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: pop investors are getting burned in this deal. Quote. This 40 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: is a bail out, and the account holders they bailed 41 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: out are Democrats. According to one tech insider quote, Silicon 42 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: Valley Bank is the bank Democrats. They're looking out for 43 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: their own If it was the Bank of MAGA, what 44 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: are the chances it would be bailed out? Not a 45 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: chance in hell. They're saving democratic donors. But who are 46 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: the equity holders? The tech insider notice retirement funds bought 47 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: into this. Many are policeman, teachers, fireman's just trying to retire. Meanwhile, 48 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: equity and bondholders were completely wiped out as part of 49 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: the rescue. State regulators and the FDIC anyway here to 50 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: shed light on this, and more importantly, will this become 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: a contagion because we now have more banks that are 52 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: losing massive amounts of equity in the markets even still today. 53 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: Steve Moore, author of Trump and Omics, is with us. 54 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: David Bonsen is back with us, author of There's No 55 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: Free Lunch, two hundred and fifty Economic Truths. Welcome both 56 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: of you back to the program. Steve Moore, I guess 57 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: everyone should be very, very comfortable and reassured that we're 58 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: not going to be paying for this Biden billionaire bailout. Well, Sean, 59 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: first of all, you're exactly right to call this a 60 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: billionaire bailout. It is. It is for billionaires, and it 61 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: is a bailout. And by the way, I'll leave it 62 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: to David, who's the market expert, to talk about whether 63 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: there's a contagion effect here. But I've got to tell you, 64 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, I'm pretty libertarian in my view. I want 65 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: very limited government, but I've always supported deposit insurance for 66 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: the average you know, average middle class deposit holders, so 67 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: they can feel secure when they put their money into 68 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: a bank. But now we're talking about not the mom 69 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: and top shop investor and not the person next door, 70 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: but as you said, millionaires and billionaires who have accounts 71 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: millions and tens of millions of dollars in these deposit accounts, 72 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: and now they're going to be essentially ensured by the 73 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: US taxpayer. This money obviously has to come from the taxpayer, 74 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: because where else who will come from. One other quick point, 75 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: it's also not fair to raise the fees on the 76 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: banks that acted responsibly because of the fact that you've 77 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: got these irresponsible banks likes of Silicon Valley Bank. David Bonson, 78 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: let me ask you about Moody's outlook on this on 79 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: the US banking system, It's negative, citing a quote rapidly 80 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: deteriorating operating environment, a pretty harsh blow to an already 81 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: reeling sector. Moody's Investor Services cut its view on the 82 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: entire banking system from negative to negative from stable. The firm, 83 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: part of three Rating Services, said Monday that it's making 84 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: the move in light of key bank failures and prompting 85 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: regulators now to step in with drastic rescue plans for 86 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: depositors and other institutions. What do you make of that? 87 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: How big an impact is that going to have? Well, 88 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: Moody's going to a more negative outlook is kind of 89 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: a little late to the party. It's a backward looking 90 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: and I don't think in and of itself it creates 91 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: a problem. It more reflects a problem. Sean. But let 92 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: me answer the question about the general risk and the 93 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: reality here and do so in the most non political objective. Honestly, 94 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: I can we have fractional reserve banking in our country? 95 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: Everybody knows that the banks don't have the money in 96 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: the back room that you give them. And we've chosen 97 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: as a society for over a hundred years to do that, 98 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: and there's rozan cons to it. But what you have 99 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: to do if you're going to have fractional reserve banking 100 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: is not allow people to think that their deposits are 101 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: ever at risk. And this is a self fulfilling prophecy problem. 102 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: You don't have a problem if no one thinks you do, 103 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: and you do have a problem if people start thinking 104 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: there's a problem, and the reality is that they were 105 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: not at all worried about Silicon Valley Bank depositors. They 106 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: were worried about contagion, because contagion is very difficult to 107 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: slow once it starts. The problem I have is not 108 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: necessarily then deciding to go say we're going to cover 109 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: these uninsured depositors. I don't like it, and I may 110 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: very well be against it because I think there were 111 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: better solutions available. But the far bigger problem, Sean, is 112 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: why it was necessary to begin with what was Dodd 113 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: Frank for? Why did they pass Dodd Frank if well, 114 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: it was Barney Frank who sits on the board of 115 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: what are these failed banks? Banks? That was lobbying to 116 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: get the regulation that he put as law changed. But 117 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: let me let me give you, let me throw a 118 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: number out of you, because I'm really concerned about this. 119 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: The four biggest US banks combine lost fifty two billion 120 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: in market value. I'm talking about City Group, JP Morgan, 121 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: Chase Wills, Fargo, Bank of America. Now to credit JP Morgan. 122 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: They predicted this very bank would have this problem because 123 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: of Biden inflation. Remember he inherited one point four percent. 124 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: Inflation rate went up to nine point one thereabouts, and 125 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: as a result, the Fed goes crazy raising interest rates. 126 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: And this bank out in Silicon Valley had invested, you know, 127 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: a fortune in long term ten year treasuries and then 128 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: when the money came due and they had to pay 129 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: their depositors, they had to sell at a huge, massive 130 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: loss for the bank. Again, the root cause of it 131 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: is Biden inflation. But if you look at the four 132 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: biggest US banks, fifty two billion of lost value as 133 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: of yesterday and at one point eight billion dollars loss 134 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: and deals, etc. Etc. JP Morgan, they lost twenty two billion. 135 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,119 Speaker 1: Bank of America sixteen billion, Wells Fargo ten billion, City 136 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: Bank four billion. What does that tell you. But Sean, 137 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: JP Morgan's market cap has four hundred billion dollars and 138 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: on Friday it was four hundred and twenty billion. So 139 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: we're still not talking about a significant systemic risk to 140 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 1: the big banks. Those guys are fine, they have it's 141 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: still little banks. The dog Frank was always the bill 142 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: that keeps on giving for the bigger banks. And that's 143 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: what's happening here is the outflows are going into JP Morgan. 144 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: They're not coming out of JP Morgan. It's scared depositors 145 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: at other banks. Now, the depositors of silicon valleys should 146 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: have been scared because their deposit base was all shiny objects, 147 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: crypto companies, unprofitable tech companies, and they built up a 148 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: big bubble that was Fed induced. And that was the 149 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: point in the article I wrote for National Review yesterday 150 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: that Sean, the FED blew this bubble up and then 151 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: they burst it. They did the damage. They were at 152 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: the scene of it. Oh wait a minute, did the 153 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: FED do it? Hang on a second. Now, the Fed 154 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: had to deal with Biden's inflation. Biden's inflation was caused 155 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: by Biden's economic policies and energy policies. So we have 156 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: a forty year high. It wasn't transitory month after month, 157 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: year after year now with Joe Biden. So as a result, 158 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: the FED to deal with inflation, they raise interest rates. 159 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: Is that would be the normal rational solution according to 160 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: any economists that I would speak to. If you think 161 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: that's different, you tell me. And as a result, the 162 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: FED cannot create the energy pipelines that Biden administration took 163 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: away the FED by tightening this tightly. First of all, 164 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: core goods inflation right now is one percent. The inflation 165 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: for goods has run down seven months in a row. 166 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: What Biden did has kill the supply side of the 167 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: economy and there's nothing that the FED can do about that. 168 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: But I'm referring to the bigger problems on is In 169 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, this bank brought in one hundred billion 170 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: dollars of new assets. How do they do that because 171 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: we were in a bubble from zero percent interest rates 172 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: with Silicon Valley, So they went from over fifty billion 173 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: to one hundred and eighty seven billion, I think is 174 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: the number that's right. And where in the world do 175 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: you get over one hundred billion dollars of new deposits? 176 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: You get it so then and they put all of 177 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: that money in treasuries, etc. Etc. And then all of 178 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: a sudden interest rates rise rapidly. And why would they 179 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: put one hundred billion into long dated treasuries at one 180 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: or two percent? Because the moral hazard the FED had created, 181 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: the believing that they were never going to have to 182 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: get off of this, and they kept it there for 183 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: three years. It's one thing that the FED wand to zero. 184 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: So there there were ten years, there were ten year treasuries, 185 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: as I understand it. Yeah, that's right. So why would 186 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: they go to ten year treasuries and not hedge the 187 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: interest rate risks? There is in this country that would 188 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: do that. It was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. 189 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: And the regulators apparently found out about it three days ago. 190 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: Probably need more. That's a great question. I mean, I 191 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: think that's the dumbest move I ever heard. Also, you know, 192 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: I wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal about 193 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: three or four years ago saying that we had record 194 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: low interest rates, and why doesn't the federal government, you know, 195 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: which is the biggest follower in the world, with you know, 196 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: thirty tillion dollars of debt, Why isn't it locking in 197 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: these long term rates because it was obvious to anyone, 198 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: almost anyone, that the era of zero interest rates that 199 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: David is talking about was coming to an end. So 200 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: don't you know rewarding these banks for their stupidity in 201 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: thinking that they're gonna we're gonna have zero interest rates forever. 202 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: And I want to make another quick point about this. 203 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: Look we get we're now in this ent of what 204 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: they call too big to fail in corporate America. This 205 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: bank is too big, this manufacturing company is too big. 206 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: You know who's not too big to fail? John, You 207 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: and me and the people listening to this show. And 208 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: I'm just sick of us getting screwed by dad decisions 209 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: that businesses make in combination with them the government giving 210 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: them a big safety nut. See, I'm agreeing with both 211 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: of you, and I think let me ask you this question. 212 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: I didn't get the numbers as of today. I'll get 213 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: them by the end of the day. Well, I want 214 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: to add up all the numbers these smaller banks, their 215 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: stocks are crashing, David bonson, what does that mean? How 216 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: do we interpret that? Are they on the verge of failing? 217 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: Is that the contagion possibility? Yeah? And this is why 218 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: they were ensuring the deposits yesterday above two hundred and 219 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: fifty thousand was to try to put people at ease. 220 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: And there is a little recovery going on today as 221 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: we're talking with some of those banks, but they're way 222 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: way down over the last week and there's no reason 223 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: for it.

One thing we've always known about Hannity, 251 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: he stands up for what he believes in, and what 252 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: you believe in follow Hannity is he fights the left 253 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: who are trying to extinguish conservative voices. John Hannity, all right, 254 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: we continue looking at this banking debacle of Biden and 255 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: Biden's billionaire bailout with Steve Moore and David bonson what 256 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: percentage or a lot of these banks down? What? Well, 257 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: the First Republic is a massive bank and they're down 258 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: sixty six percent on the year, but they're up thirty 259 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: percent today, So I think that the market is starting 260 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: to feel that, Okay, they're not going to go out 261 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: of business. But you're talking about some of these banks 262 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: sean to have five and six times the protective equity 263 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: the Silicon Valley Bank did. Silicon Valley was a particularly 264 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: stupid bank. The other banks that they look they do 265 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: not have the vulnerabilities unless everyone thinks they have the vulnerabilities. 266 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: Your deposit base going away changes your financial strength, and 267 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: that you can't have a run on those banks in 268 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: a fractional reserve banking system. That's what I want people 269 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: to understand. And my point is that Todd Frank was 270 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: supposed to keep this from happening, and right now, Look, 271 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: I'll pick on Joe Biden any day with anybody. Nobody 272 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: could be as critical of him as I am. In 273 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: this case, he's left with no good options because if 274 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: you let all those depositors lose money, even will hang 275 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: on a second. I'm not willing to give him that pass. 276 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: Because JP Morgan wrote about this in November, and if 277 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: JP Morgan saw this coming, why didn't they see it coming? 278 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: That's on them. Last twenty seconds, Steve Well, great question, 279 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: and again the fact of the matter is that the 280 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: people really who are going to come out behind them, 281 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: this our average middle class Americans. And this is why 282 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: Trump was popular because it was basically he was he 283 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: was talking to the middle class against big business, big banks, 284 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: big government all in kind of cahoots. And this only, 285 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: this incident only kind of encourages that kind of, you know, 286 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: skepticism about whether our government is living for the average person. 287 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: I got to run Steve Moore, David Bonson. I appreciate 288 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: both of you. Eight hundred and nine four one sewn 289 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: on number. You want to be a part of the program, 290 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: we still have. Joe Takapina is President Trump on the 291 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: verge of being indicted in New York. He's the attorney 292 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: for President Trump. You'll join us quick break, right back 293 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: your calls on the other side, straight ahead. All right, listen, 294 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of stories I haven't gotten to here, 295 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: and I know we're really dialed in. I know everybody. 296 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: If you're being told by people, just stay calm. Everything's 297 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: fine about the banking system. I'm just telling you don't 298 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: believe them. I'm not saying that there's a pending collapse. 299 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I just see what looks like 300 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: a very volatile situation unfolding, and I think they're just 301 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: trying to calm people, and they'll say anything to calm 302 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: people down. Now, when it comes to your money, you've 303 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: got to be smart. Probably a good time to check 304 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: in with your financial advisor, your accountant, people that you 305 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: know and respect that do this for a living. I 306 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: don't do it professionally. That's why we bring on experts 307 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: like we did at the top of this hour, Steve 308 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: Moore and David Bonson. This is what they do every day. 309 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: And you know this absolutely, according to the expert, could 310 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: get a lot worse before it gets better. So I'm 311 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: just urging all of you to be careful. There is 312 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: other news out there. They'll give you an example about 313 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: New York City police. Now, you know, with the Democratic 314 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: parties unrelenting rhetoric about you know, systemic racism and law 315 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: enforcement and defund and dismantle and no bail laws. What 316 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: you're seeing is even in a city like New York City, 317 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: which has a minority majority police force, the majority of 318 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: police officers or minorities, they're leaving, they're quitting. They've had 319 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: enough in just the last two months two and thirty 320 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: nine cops quit thirty six percent, increased from just this 321 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: period last year. You know, it's a tremendous spike from 322 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: even two years ago. And this year's figures show the 323 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: highest number of police departures since a contract dispute, going 324 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: all the way back to two thousand and seven. Now 325 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: this news comes as New York City is facing a 326 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: massive crime increase under Democratic Mayor Eric Adams. Robberies, burglaries, 327 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: felony assaults, grand larcenies, other crimes. You know, they are 328 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: already up from last year's high, now up another twenty 329 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: two percent since last year, and cops field that they're 330 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: not supported and they can do their job. Out in 331 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco, they have a proposal, a draft reparations proposal 332 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: that will include five million, a lump sum payment for 333 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: each eligible black person. That they could make San Francisco 334 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: the first major city in the US to fund reparations. 335 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: I remember Gavin Nusson is talking about some six hundred 336 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: and however many billions of dollars that they're willing to 337 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: spend out in California. I don't know how they're going 338 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: to afford it. I don't know how. I don't know 339 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: the criteria either. You might find this interesting, Linda, I 340 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard what Pope Francis says that 341 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: the Catholic Church banning priests from engaging in sex is temporar. 342 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: Did you see that? I did see it. Okay, he's 343 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: an enlightening pope, I must say, really, just expanding the 344 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: church in the most interesting ways. You know, first, what 345 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: did he have Instagram? Then he had a book deal, 346 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: then he's on social media. So the Catholic Church began 347 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: requiring celibacy in the eleventh century. Let's go back even 348 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: further now, Jesus had twelve apostles. According to my understanding 349 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: of scriptures, eleven of the twelve apostles were married. He didn't, 350 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: He didn't demand that of his own disciples, right that 351 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: he panchos. In the early years of the church, until 352 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: the eleventh century, clergy with no children were more likely 353 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 1: to leave their money to the church. But then the issue, 354 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: the fear, I believe, became about the issue of divorce 355 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: and the church potentially losing property. By the way, that 356 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: issue can be resolved quickly, at least in the United States, 357 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: And I would asume most countries with something called the 358 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: prenuptial Agreement. And anyway, the Vatican ban sex among priests, 359 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: although it's you know, base calls to terminate the rule, 360 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: et cetera, but not allowing priests to marry, which is 361 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: Catholic doctrine that you wouldn't have sex until you got married. 362 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: Putting aside that debate for a different day. Allowing them 363 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: to marry, I think that you would get probably a 364 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: higher number of people that would be willing to serve 365 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: in the priesthood if they could live, you know, a 366 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: life with a family as well. Also, if you don't 367 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: have a family, you know, and you're not married, you know, 368 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: how can you possibly really counsel couples that are dealing 369 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: with real life issues. I don't know how that's possible. 370 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: You make, you make some really good points, Sean. I 371 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: have to say I kind of agree with you on this. 372 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of Catholics out there. They're 373 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: gonna hate me for that, you know, as a former Catholic, 374 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: you know, and you know, I still attend the Catholic 375 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: Church from time to time. I'm a practicing Christian. I 376 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: belong to my church as you well know with Pastor 377 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: Tim and you know, I believe that you know, pre 378 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: should be allowed to get married. I also believe that 379 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,479 Speaker 1: nuns should be allowed to get married. You know, there 380 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: should be some equity in the church for sure. There. 381 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: I don't really understand the whole idea of being married 382 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: to God. I don't think that you need to say 383 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: you're married to God when you devoted your life to God, 384 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: which these people clearly have. And I don't think that 385 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: you can give to pay into counseling pre kana, right, 386 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: that's what it's called when you're Catholic. So for a 387 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: thousand years they allowed this, and then you got to ask, well, 388 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: why did they change the rule? And I think that 389 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, it had 390 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: to do with money. But it always has to do 391 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: with money. Money is the root of all evil. You know, 392 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: that expression exists for a reason. But I think if 393 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: we're sensible and using common sense, it makes sense for 394 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: people to be able to be in love have that 395 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: part of their lives, because then they can lead their parishes, 396 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: their churches, their congregations from a place of knowledge, from 397 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: a place of experience. You know what my pastor says, listen, 398 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: I feel you. You know, marriage is hard. I'm like, well, 399 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: he knows. He's been married for forty years. You know. 400 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: In other news, you have a merrilland teacher who describes 401 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: herself as proud as f to be a liberal, bragging 402 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: about how she indoctrinates her students and call for an 403 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: urgent fight against capitalism, while adding revolutions involve violence. Right. 404 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: If you run into teachers like this that think that 405 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: they have the right to indoctrinate children rather than educate children, 406 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: maybe it's time to fire them. Just a quick thought. 407 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: One Florida university reportedly denied a white student. This was 408 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: on foxnews dot Com mental health access because quote, the 409 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: person is white. How about anybody that needs mental health 410 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: services gets the service they need right away? Anyway, The 411 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: student at USF was reportedly denied mental health services because 412 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: he was not a member of the black, Indigenous, and 413 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: people of color community, according to the communications obtained by 414 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: the Campus Reform. That's a sad story. I thought we're 415 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: all supposed to love each other and treat everybody the same. 416 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: It's pretty unbelievable. Anyway. Eight hundred nine for one, Shawn 417 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: our number. If you want to be a part of 418 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: the program. At the top of the hour, will check 419 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: in with the President's attorney. President Trump's attorney Joe Takapina 420 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: all these reports that a possible indictment against Donald Trump 421 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: is imminent, will get his take on it. Let's say 422 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: hi to Ronda's in Oklahoma. Ronda, how are you. I'm good, Sean, 423 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Hi, thank you. Yesterday with 424 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan and he acknowledged that nothing's been done with 425 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: the evidence we have already on Hunter and it's been 426 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: three years. I think they're just trying to wait two 427 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: more years to see if the statue of limitation runs out. 428 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: But don't think it will happen with treason and fraud. 429 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: But maybe my question is, is there some kind of 430 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: a workaround if the dj and the FBI just don't 431 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: their job. The workaround as you defund it. That's the 432 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: only option that the Republicans would have, you know, if 433 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna find out just how deep deeply rooted the 434 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: FBI being politicized is. If if it is that bad, 435 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: I suspect it's possible, based on my own conversations with 436 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: whistleblowers on air. Whistleblowers off air, and people that I 437 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: know that were agents and served in the FBI themselves, 438 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: they are telling me it's not the same FBI any longer, 439 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: that the FBI has gone woke, that the FBI's politicized, 440 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: and that the FBI has two systems of justice. Now, 441 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: after these hearings, if they conclude that you'll need a 442 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: church style committee change and things are gonna have to change, 443 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to return to being the world's premier 444 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: law enforcement agency. Otherwise the country itself is in trouble. 445 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: There's been too much involvement with the FBI in our elections, 446 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: but only favoring one party. That needs to stop. We 447 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: don't need their involvement in issues like this. But and 448 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: if the DOJ is weaponized, that needs to be dealt 449 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: with too, and I think it has been. I think 450 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: we have a two tier justice system, a dual justice system. 451 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: And it's sad for me to say because I had 452 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: I grew up having the most respect for law enforcement, 453 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: because so many of my family members were law enforcement, 454 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: and the two members of my family that made it 455 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: to the FBI, they were they were like gods in 456 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: our family. They were deity, and they they reached the 457 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: pinnacle of success as the children of immigrants from Ireland, 458 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: and I just would hope that that we can return 459 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: it to greatness and bring back the ethics and bring 460 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: back the true mission. We have the tools neces sarry 461 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: for them to do a phenomenal job, and many of 462 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: them do that job every day, and they do it bravely, courageously, 463 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: and yet to hear these stories it breaks my heart. 464 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: Because I revered this agency. I don't revere it anymore. 465 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: I have a very realistic view of it, and what 466 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: I see is not pretty. And I think what we're 467 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: going to discover with each whistleblower is a pattern of 468 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: behavior that exposes things that we never thought were possible. There, Ronda, 469 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: good call, appreciated South Carolina. Marvin next on the Sean 470 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: Hannity Show, What's up, Marvin, how are you glad you called? Hey? Sean, 471 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: I appreciate all you do, guys. Sean A question and 472 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: then a quick point. The question is I'm pressing the 473 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: legality of this so called bailout and you know, going 474 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: beyond what the fd I c Ashley mandates as far 475 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: as the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars you know, 476 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: help out for the people that have the money in 477 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: the bank. And then the the statement really is about 478 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, I've learned over the years the Democrats don't 479 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: do anything without having some type of ultramotives. Okay, so 480 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: this bank in Silicon based in Silicon Valley, I mean, 481 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: is there a way of finding out how many politicians, 482 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: how many politicians kids, the family members, how was their 483 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: connection to the money to that bank failing and then 484 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: the rescue, Because again I'm just totally convinced the Democrats 485 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: don't do anything without a motive. So I think if 486 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: they're going to be protected, well, I mean, it is 487 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: interesting because the Silicon Valley of apparently a lot of 488 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: big Democratic donors. This is a billionaire, a Biden billionaire baillout, 489 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: there's no other way to describe it here and largely liberal. 490 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: I think when we get a list of depositors names, 491 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: probably three years from now, all our instincts are going 492 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: to be proven true. Mike God tells me this is 493 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: a baillout of Biden's billionaire buddies because they put all 494 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: their money in one bank. They weren't smart in doing that, 495 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: and you know, I doubt the rest of us would 496 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: get that treatment. I think. I think if you're not 497 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: a big Democratic donor, you're gonna be treated like the 498 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: people in East Palestine in Ohio, and that is, you 499 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: know what ignored. The people are being ignored in East Palestine. 500 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden all, I'm gonna go visit when because he 501 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: had had plenty of time to visit. It's not on 502 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: a schedule, So it's yeah, I think, uh, you know, 503 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: I this is one other thing here that we're not 504 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: even talking about, and that is we can't afford this pailout. 505 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: We just can't. It's the sixteenth largest bank in America. 506 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: Now we've got other bank failures, then trading stopped with 507 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: these with even more banks. You know, is this going 508 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: to be a contagion? Is this going to continue to spread? 509 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: You know, stock prices plummeting on these local banks, left, right, 510 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: sideways and every other way. This has the potential to 511 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: spiral out of control. And that's my fear. And I 512 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: say that very very cautiously. I'm not saying it's going 513 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: to happen. I don't want it to happen, but we 514 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: have to be very realistic. Nobody thought this was going 515 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: to happen, and I don't think that using time and 516 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: then to be told we're not going to use taxpayer money. Okay, 517 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: the banks are going to pay it back. Okay, how 518 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: do they pay a pack. Well, they're going to be 519 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: charging you know, twice, three, four, or five six times 520 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: the fees that they used to charge. In other words, 521 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: we will be the ones to pay back this money. 522 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: And you know, why should we be paying for billionaires 523 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: that that didn't use the banking system appropriately. They know 524 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: how much insurance there is anyway, eight hundred nine point 525 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: one SEA on our number.
