WEBVTT - Equal Time? - May 24th, Hour 1 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:02.440 All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:03.400 of you for being with us. 0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:03.920 Toll free. 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:06.880 Our number is eight hundred nine point one, Sean, if 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:08.240 you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:09.520 Okay. 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:14.280 So I ran into Jim Kerr and Carol Miller at 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:19.640 the Rock Station, our sister station, and I'd never met 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:24.160 Carol before. She's amazing. And Jim Kerr remember I used 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.400 to fill in for Rush back in the day. I mean, 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:28.560 he did a really good job. I mean, and he's 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.680 a hardcore rocker guy, cool guy. And I grew up 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.479 listening to these guys just like Scott Shannon and just 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.440 you know, some of the legends in radio. 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:40.360 And I felt like I. 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.000 Was in a time warp. I had no idea they 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.240 were in the same building. And then so Jim Kerr 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.640 walks me around, you know, the studios where the music 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:54.000 stations are, and Charlotte Mane the gods studios there. They 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.240 actually have like a king's throne, two of them, you know, 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.320 for I don't know, once for a guest of the 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:01.000 co host. 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.520 Of assuming you've ordered mine. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.440 Yeah, yeah, you do you want that? Listen? 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.160 If I want to be the queen of the studio 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:09.240 I need a proper chair. 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.520 Well, he's broken a lot of news. I mean, if 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:13.600 you can't, and he's good. 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.559 He definitely, he's very even handed on a lot of issues. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:17.920 You would expect it not to be. 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.320 I was doing well, and we wish everybody to do it, 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.640 you know, unlike everybody. There's so many people in this 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.960 in this business that are so stupid and so myopic 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.520 and so dumb that they think their success is predicated 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.839 on other people's failures. I've never believed that. I've always 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.800 believed the rising tide lifts all boats, period, end of sentence. 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:38.640 You do a good job, You're going to do great. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.479 By the way, I got to congratulate our buddy Dan 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.680 Bongino in his second anniversary. 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.840 Doing talk radio. I mean, he's remember he was with 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.240 the Secret Service. Who's with the NYPD. 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.680 He started out on Fox And by the way, there's 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.960 all these rumors he got fired and did not get fired. 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.280 They had a tract in pass and that's pretty common 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:03.960 in this business. He also has a lot of other 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.680 work and he didn't really want to work an extra 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.000 day a week. He's got a family, which I can 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.799 totally completely understand. And anyways, so it's his two year 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.760 anniversary on radio. We congratulate him and wish him all 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.320 the best because he's been a good friend of this 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.440 program in the TV show for a long time and 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.640 I'm sure will continue. All right, So we have a 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.280 lot of news today, but all things simple. Man Bill O'Reilly, 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.080 he'll join us today. Judge Janine Piro is on the 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.280 program today. Cel heavy Foot Bryant will be with us. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.679 I call him heavy foot because every time he gets 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.120 pulled over by the police, he asked the officer, you know, 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.360 con of your license and registration. Please, I'll be glad 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.359 to officer here it is, but I need to ask you, 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.320 have you accepted the Lord Jesus into your heart as 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.320 your personal Lord and savior? And he does this, and 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.519 he really has a heavy foot. He's get pulled over 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.160 all the time and never once does he ever get 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.960 a ticket. I mean, I he's gonna have to explain 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.919 that to Jesus when he gets to heaven one day. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.560 That's my I'm not sure Jesus wants us to invoke 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.560 his name to get out of a speedy ticket. Well, 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:14.280 why miss an opportunity to you know? Maybe I don't know, 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:15.880 preach to somebody. 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.680 I guess, all. 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.760 Right, So we have a the you know, a lot 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.119 of people critical a Rond de Santas's method of announcing 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.040 doing it on Twitter Tonight we'll have coverage of that. 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.360 By the way, Senator Tim Scott is on Hannity tonight, 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.680 He'll be on I think Ron is on one of 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.680 the shows tonight, maybe Trey Gouty Show. 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.200 But anyway, so we now have a primary race, and 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.440 I know that this audience. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.760 We did a poll yesterday and because I wanted to 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:52.400 get your feedback, your input, because we do this show 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:57.040 for you, we had tens and tens and tens of thousands. 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.960 There's a lot of response to our poll on HANNEDI 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.000 and that is, do you want me to give equal 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:07.000 time to each candidate, regardless of maybe what their poll 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.520 numbers may say. Because you've got, okay, President Trump, he's 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.080 now the front runner by a pretty large margin. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:14.200 You have Rond de Santis. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.839 Second, I'm sure in some of these states these polls 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.080 will tighten as time goes on and there'll be a 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:24.719 back and forth. Then of course you have vivek Ramaswami 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.359 and Nicky Haley, You've got Tim Scott, will be on 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.559 Hannity Tonight nine Eastern. I like Tim Scott a lot, 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.360 and I know people are jumping to conclusions and they're saying, well, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.600 these people aren't really running to win. I'm like, I 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.640 actually know people that run for president. There's not one 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.880 of them that I've met that actually is not running 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.440 to win. They think they are the person Nicky Haley 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.799 is running. Chris Christie says he may get into the race, 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.200 but I think Chris Christie would only get into the 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.159 race to be the guy that's screaming I hate Donald 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.080 Trump every five seconds, and he would view that as 0:04:59.080 --> 0:04:59.840 his sole role. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.960 Somebody might want to remind. 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.919 Chris Christy, and honestly, I'm not even sure that I 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.520 want him on the program because he's really not running 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.080 for president. He's running to attack one person. If he 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.320 really legitimately was seeking the presidency, I would take it seriously. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.000 I just don't think he's serious about running for president. 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.839 I think he's out there trying to make a name 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.080 for himself and just attack Donald Trump. Let me tell 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.599 you one thing I can say now that this isn't 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.000 everybody's focus right now. And by the way, we're going 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.240 to do town halls with all the candidates. Next week, 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.760 we have a town hall with President Trump that will 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:43.960 be in Des Moines, Iowa. Details to follow, Okay, so 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:49.680 stay with us. And I know that there are people that, oh, 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.400 why are you having this candidate now? Why shouldn't I 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.520 have him on them? So I asked you, my audience, 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.680 my beloved audience, what you want, and ninety two percent 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.600 of you want me to give equal time to all 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.880 the candidates. Now, the reason this is even an issue 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.159 is because if I take you back to twenty fifteen 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.719 and twenty sixteen, well, we regularly did town halls with 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.240 all the candidates, and you know, we travel around the country. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.040 And by the way, you know, it's a pretty heavy lift. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.880 We got to bring our radio staff, radio equipment, We 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.000 got to get a studio to do the radio show 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:21.279 out of. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:22.760 Now you've got to bring my chair. 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.560 Now, we got to bring your queen's chair. There's a 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:26.520 lot going on now. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.560 I don't know, maybe when Charlemagne the God is not 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.599 in a studio, we'll just run up to their floor 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:31.760 and we'll just grab their. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.480 I am very excited about this idea. 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.040 You like, do you want me to steal Charlemagne the gods, 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:41.120 I just share its share. It's a throne exactly. He said. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.160 It's like a king or queen show as. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:43.560 It should be. 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:45.039 That cracked me up. 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:51.120 Wonderful anyway, good for him and so anyway, so Ron 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.000 de Santis will announce, He'll do it on Twitter. I 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.760 don't think that's a bad idea at all. He's going 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.400 to do interviews as well. I think that, you know, 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.520 to be a little different out of the box. I 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.799 think social media is just a force that you cannot 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.359 ignore if you're in the political business. Most polls for 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.160 him starting out have him down by as much as 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.920 you know, thirty plus points, and he's got his work 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.520 cut out for him. New York Times put out a 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.920 piece DeSantis' strategy is to win overall those Trump voters, 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:28.080 involving a full court press in early primary states. They 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:32.360 are reporting that a key political group supporting DeSantis's presidential 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.280 run is preparing one hundred million dollar voter outreach push 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.080 so big that it plans to knock on every single 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:47.600 door possible that in New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina five 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.720 times in the kickoff of the Iowa caucuss. All right, well, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.560 he's apparently has a lot of money and a lot 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.280 of big financial donors. You know, I'm really repulsed at 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.680 how the reaction of these idiots on the view and 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.920 elsewhere have been. You know, I find these comments. There 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.960 are two groups that you can seem you have carte 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.720 blanche to say anything you want without any brushback at all, 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.760 without any talk of boycott's, without any talk of canceling, 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.600 without any talk of firing. If you want to go 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:23.560 after Christians, or you want to go after African American conservatives, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.240 you can pretty much say any ignorant thing you want. 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.800 And Joila is out there insisting Tim Scott and Clarence 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:34.760 Thomas that they don't understand racism like she does. Let 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:35.560 me play it for you. 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:41.559 Well, isn't he professor positive? Unlike Trump? Everything's bad, this doomsday. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.920 He's more in the Reagan Esque Morning in America things 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.280 are fabulous. And he's also hedging his bets. He doesn't 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.119 really go out and say he's not pro choice exactly, 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.080 although he did say when he say that he would 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.559 vote for anything they put on this table, the Republicans, 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.840 So he is not pro choice. And he's one of 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.760 these guys who you know, he's like Clarence Thomas. 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.400 Black Republican who believes in pulling us out by your 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.480 bootstraps rather than to me understanding the systemic racism that 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.559 African Americans face in this country another minorities. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.080 He doesn't get it. Neither does Clarence Right, and that's 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.640 why they're Republicans. Yeah. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:23.120 So if we're to believe a liberal white woman in 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:29.360 New York, joylus behar, she knows more than Tim Scott 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.439 and Clarence Thomas that you know, if you know he's 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.080 one of these guys like Clarence Thomas, a black Republican 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.120 who believes in pulling himself up by your bootstraps? Is 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:43.440 there any other way? Is there any other way? You know, 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.640 unless you make the effort in life. I don't see 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.760 any other way and anyway rather than to me understanding 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.880 the systemic racism. So the white liberal in New York 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:58.559 is going to lecture African Americans about racism in this country. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:09:59.680 Wow. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.760 Imagine if a conservative made any kind of similar statement 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.680 against a African American liberal. I mean, what do you 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:13.960 think the reaction would be? Anyway? So, now the campaign 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.520 is in full swing, it's going to get very very interesting, 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.880 very very fast. Some reports have desantus his war chest 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:24.480 that as high as two hundred million dollars available to him. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:25.680 Now that's a lot of money. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:32.920 Money does mean something in presidential campaigns, for sure. And 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.920 you know, after months of speculation. Now, I did ask 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.280 Donald Trump in my last interview. I said, okay, let 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.160 me ask you about Ron de Santis. I said, you 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.800 guys were friends. I thought I always thought they were friends. 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:49.280 What happened? And then he went through a pretty long answer. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.520 I'll sum it up is that he wouldn't have been 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.360 elected governor but for Donald Trump's support. And I think 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.640 there may be some truth to that, because he's the 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:03.440 one that chose to endorse DeSantis over Putnam, who I 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.560 believe was the favorite at the time. And those races, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.720 Tim Scott's I'm sorry, Scott Rick Scott's race was tight, 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.760 and Ron DeSantis his race for governor was tight. You know, 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.559 those races were won by I think by ten and 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:22.320 thirty ten thousand and thirty thousand votes respectively. And Trump 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.839 went in hard with town halls in the end. And 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.040 so from his point of view, oh okay, that's the 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.880 thanks I get. I helped you get elected. And obviously 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.719 Ron's response would be, well, with all due respect, I 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.720 got elected and then I did a great job, and 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.640 that's why I won by a million and a half 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.400 votes in the last election. So if you're going to 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.800 get both sides of that argument, it will be interesting. 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.440 And by the way, for all of you out there, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.719 I think that I don't hear you that you're passionately 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.960 pro Trump, that you're passionately pro dessandas that you're passionately 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:56.200 pro Tim Scott. 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:57.840 I'm hearing all of you. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.120 That's why I asked the question yesterday, you know, because 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.320 our job is to serve you this audience, and what 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.000 is the best way to serve you in the middle 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.600 of a Republican primary. Now, if I had my way, 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.240 they would be more focused on the damage that the 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:20.520 wreckage that is Joe Biden's economy, the damage and wreckage 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:25.000 that is America's position on the world stage. That would 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.160 be the damage and the wreckage and the danger of 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:32.960 a new axis of evil. But eventually, having done this 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.920 for all these years, I can tell you it always 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.679 ends the same way, and that is there's gonna be 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.200 one there's gonna be two candidates left, and those two 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.960 candidates they are going to be throwing hard, you know, 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.200 Haymaker punches in the hopes that they can get a knockout. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.520 That's how this is done. And I'm going to say 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.960 one other thing. The issues that will impact your decision. 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.840 Two things will remain steady, and that's not in doubt. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:03.640 Elections are always about peace and prosperity, about national security, and 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.560 about financial security. Joe Biden is not doing good on 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.680 any of these issues. Any Republican will be better. But 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.040 the other thing that I can assure you is that 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.120 there's going to come a point where the top candidates 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.640 are going to start killing each other. I guarantee you 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:26.280 as morning becomes a day and as the sunset signals 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.120 the beginning of the nighttime, it's going to happen. 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.920 So buckle up. This is the process that we have. 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.559 But the real decision is going to be in a 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.400 little over five hundred and twenty some odd days on 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:45.319 election day. And that's when you have the power to 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.160 reject the failing policies of Joe Biden and put this 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.080 country on a different course. Linda, how much do you 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.120 want to bet everyone's going to forget the poll that 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.679 we just gave this audience a choice to want to 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.920 give equal time to candidates. Percent said yes absolutely on 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.959 radio and TV. Okay, how much you At some point 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.520 we're gonna get accused of giving one candidate more time 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.360 than another candidate. And by the way, over time it 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.440 becomes a parent that you know, some people just ain't 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:16.080 gonna cut it. 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.640 And well, first of all, your credit, I will tell 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:23.400 you very honestly, nobody got uneven time until very very 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.200 close to the end and people started to drop off. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.440 You were very even handed. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.640 I tried to be, and we went back and we 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.680 actually timed out. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.760 I think you're talking about me. I actually asked the 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:34.600 candidates not to make this. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.680 You know, at the end it was Ted Cruz and 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:41.440 Donald Trump, and in the end they ended up having 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:46.120 more time, but throughout the process that was not the case, 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.080 you know. And uh, and then people started dropping out, 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.400 and at that point the time obviously went to the 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:57.000 people that remained. So you know, we're gonna do our job, 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.200 and we'll do time. We have a lot of things planned. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.400 Our first town hall will be with President Trump next week. 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.680 Details to follow. That's in Des Moines, Iowa. I'll let 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.640 you know about that. And all right, so we have 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.760 the battle over the debt ceiling. Wait, do you hear 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.480 what AOC had to say? Because it makes no sense 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.720 at all whatsoever. We'll get to that bill, O'Reilly will 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.840 check in and judge. Janine Piro straight ahead. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:30.200 Sean Hannity, Always concern for our country, always honoring our 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:35.640 servicemen and service women, and standing up for liberty every day. 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:37.720 Hey, I've been telling you, by the way twenty five 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.080 to the top of the hour. I've been telling you 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.200 for months now about the importance of every school in 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:47.200 the country having a Knox Entry access system that quickly 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:53.480 gets law enforcement into lock campus doors during active shooting incidents. Now, tragically, 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:58.640 US school shootings continue with devastating outcomes, eighteen occurring in 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.760 the first three months this year. Loan and the Knox 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:05.320 Company has been trusted by first responders now since nineteen 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:11.480 seventy five, and their new advanced electronic ekey technology, a local, state, 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:15.640 federal law enforcement now can access locked doors during any 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:21.480 crisis situation and statistics illustrate the need the importance for 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:26.920 all schools to install this invaluable resource. Now, a Knox 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.240 Entry system can be installed and managed by the school 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.880 or the district and parents and grandparents. It's really important 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.360 that you ask your kids school if they have installed 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.280 a Knox entry system. You can learn more about it 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.960 by going to their website. It's school entry one word 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:50.080 dot com, school entry dot com anyway, so it's pretty 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:55.680 fascinating and it's twisted and it's distorted, which is interesting 0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:01.560 to me that now they want to blame Republicans for 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.280 the fact that Joe Biden said from the beginning there'd 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.520 be no negotiations on the dead ceiling. Now they want 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.280 to blame Kevin McCarthy and the Republicans that you know, 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:17.080 they met early in the year and then Joe Biden. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.120 Pretty much every day Kevin McCarthy was saying, we got 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:21.680 to meet, we got to meet, We'd like to get 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:26.480 a deal, let's talk, let's discuss, let's negotiate, no negotiation, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:33.160 over and over and over and over and over again. Okay, 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:37.439 So speaking McCarthy, you know, constitutionally, the power of the 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.159 persons with Congress. 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:43.760 They did their job. They did pass a. 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.000 Bill that raises the dead ceiling. It does have what 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.159 over what two thirds of the country wants, which is 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:54.879 fiscal responsibility measures. It will return government spending levels to 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.480 twenty twenty two. Does that sound onerous to you, It's not, 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.960 you know, cutting back because we have thirty one trillion 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.800 dollars in debt. We can't even service the interest on 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.280 the debt for crying out loud, So they passed a 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.520 bill to raise the debt ceiling. Now the bill also 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:15.040 will save, as scored by the Congressional Budget Office, four 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.359 point eight trillion dollars, which I think is fiscally responsible. 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.960 It also has measures in there to pull back from 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:28.680 the draconian, you know, no domestic energy production Biden policies, 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:35.120 and Democrats now they're upset. AOC is speaking out. Now 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:39.600 listen to how dumb this is, because this is right 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.640 up there at some of the dumbest things I've heard 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.600 from anybody in Congress. The reason anyone's asking anyone on 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.639 this stage about what we would vote for is because 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.959 Kevin McCarthy needs our votes. He may not get if 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.800 he makes concessions, he may not get every Republican and 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.400 by the way, that might put him in a position 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:04.080 where they can be you know, what do you call 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:09.320 it a recall petition? Where they you know, literally have 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:14.200 basically a no confidence vote he's been negotiating. He's been 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:19.040 begging Biden in to negotiate. Biden said, no negotiations. They passed 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.520 a great bill, and now there's eight days to go, 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.199 and now all of a sudden they're freaking out. And 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.680 by the way, it's an artificial deadline anyway. But here's 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.640 aoc The reason. 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.480 Why anyone is asking anyone on this stage about what 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.720 we would vote for is because Kevin McCarthy needs our votes. 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.360 Because Kevin McCarthy doesn't have the votes. Because Kevin McCarthy 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.879 is going to the White House without a majority of 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:47.480 his caucus, he does not have the what is necessary 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:52.520 to negotiate. And for any question about what anybody would 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:57.400 settle for, he has responsibility to concede. So if he 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:01.719 wants any Democratic support, he has to come to the table. 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.680 And we have seen him over and over again say 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.719 that he will not negotiate. That they are engaged in 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:13.639 hostage taking, not negotiation, extortion, not conversation, and that is 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.280 not something we can establish. It is not something we 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:17.720 can reinforce in this country. 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:24.399 Okay, if that's a spokesperson with the Democratic Party, that 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.000 they're not in a very good position. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.760 What just one minor point. She says that he does 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.560 not have the majority of his caucus, and how did 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:33.320 he pass the bill. 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:34.960 It's a great point. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.359 He might be the dumbest person in goddress. I'm just saying, 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.919 I don't know. There's a lot of them. That's a 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.080 hard thing to say. I mean, maybe we can put 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:47.800 that up on Hannity t I don't know, top ten. Yeah, 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.760 here's what's happening. Even the Washington Post is acknowledging this. 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:57.240 Democrats are They're pissed. They're really angry that Biden is 0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.240 blowing the dead ceiling fight. I'll tell you why he 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:03.399 blew the fight because he unilaterally disarmed and he made 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:08.639 a political calculation. He did not think McCarthy after watching 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.840 all the votes for Speaker one after another after another, 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:13.840 which ended up being a good thing in the end, 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.919 and they didn't think he'd pass the bill with Republicans. 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:19.680 They passed it. 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:24.920 Now, Democrats are facing tough reelection campaigns next year. They're 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:30.639 totally incensed and furious at Biden because they bungled their messaging. 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:35.480 No well, no negotiation, no negotiation, no negotiation. Oh okay, 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:38.440 we're having negotiations now with you know, twenty days to go. 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:43.680 You know, it's ridiculous on their part. Little too little, 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.560 too late. Kevin McCarthy, this is what he said. 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.480 I don't see how you would blame Republicans, if there's 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.080 any blame Republicans have, we're the only ones who acted. 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:56.040 So as if the American public didn't want some if 0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:58.440 they get rewarded for not taking an action and ignoring 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.040 a problem, the Democrats are going to that award every day. 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:03.240 They did that with Title forty two on the border. 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:05.600 They've done that with inflation. They'd glied to us and 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.720 told us it was transitory. They did that with the 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:09.520 debt ceiling. They told us we shouldn't talk. 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:10.320 So I'm sorry. 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.800 If you want to blame Republicans for solving problems, we'll 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:14.879
