Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott Shoanning. Glad you're with us. Right
Speaker 1: down our toll free telephone number, it's eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine four one, Sean you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program. Governor Ron DeSantis will join us, will
Speaker 1: also check in with the Democratic mayor. Now, a number
Speaker 1: of high profile Democrats in the state of Florida are
Speaker 1: now speaking out on behalf of Governor DeSantis and setting
Speaker 1: the record straight about the sixty minutes hit piece. We have.
Speaker 1: The mayor of Palm Beach County, Democrat Dave Kerner, is
Speaker 1: going to join us in the course of the program.
Speaker 1: He actually released a statement said I watched the sixty
Speaker 1: Minutes segment on Palm Beach County last night, and I
Speaker 1: feel compelled to issue this statement. The reporting was not
Speaker 1: just based on bad information, it was intentionally false. I
Speaker 1: know because I offered to provide my insight into Palm
Speaker 1: Beach County's vaccination efforts. I know through the grape vine
Speaker 1: and our research. He spoke with sixty minutes and their
Speaker 1: producer for forty five straight minutes, and they wouldn't put
Speaker 1: him on camera, and they wouldn't put his position on
Speaker 1: camera anyway. Sixty minutes declined his offer. And they know,
Speaker 1: he said, quote, they know the governor came to Palm
Speaker 1: Beach County, that the governor met with me and the
Speaker 1: county administrator and we asked to expand the state's partnership
Speaker 1: with publics to Palm Beach County. In other words, so
Speaker 1: in Palm Beach County, they have a very high percentage
Speaker 1: of elderly population, over two hundred and seventy five thousand
Speaker 1: seniors in Palm Beach County alone, which is over seventy
Speaker 1: five percent of the total senior population. They've all been
Speaker 1: vaccinated already, and so Rohn de Santis the first thing
Speaker 1: seniors first was their motto. After obviously people that work
Speaker 1: in the medical community and seniors got the vaccine first.
Speaker 1: When Rohn de Santis was on at the very beginning
Speaker 1: of COVID on this program, he said that he's mobilized
Speaker 1: every single state agency to tech the elderly in Florida,
Speaker 1: which has the one of the highest percentages of the
Speaker 1: elderly population. And I think they are, like, you know,
Speaker 1: they've done, They've done the best of any big state
Speaker 1: by far, like compared to New York or Pennsylvania, New
Speaker 1: Jersey or Michigan with their executive orders to send COVID
Speaker 1: patients into nursinghams. All three New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: They did it all within a week of each other.
Speaker 1: How stupid were all three of them? Just the opposite
Speaker 1: was done in Florida and they kept it open and
Speaker 1: the kids have been in school since August. In Florida,
Speaker 1: no problems, and people aren't and now people are flocking
Speaker 1: to Florida in droves. Real estate prices are just there's
Speaker 1: never been a boom like this. I talk to real
Speaker 1: estate friends of mine down there. They said they've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like it anyway. So they were able to
Speaker 1: get all of this done down in Florida, and sixty
Speaker 1: minutes comes in. Now you think they'd be doing pieces
Speaker 1: New York and Cuomo and the nursing home scandal and
Speaker 1: the group home scandal, and the fact that Pennsylvania followed suit,
Speaker 1: New Jersey followed suit, all the shutdown states. Now the
Speaker 1: recall of newsom out in California. No, they're not doing
Speaker 1: any of that anyway. So the mayor of Palm Beach County,
Speaker 1: the Democratic mayor, will join us. Ronda Santis will also
Speaker 1: join us. We'll get into all of that in the
Speaker 1: course of the program today. Now I can't help put
Speaker 1: start thinking about how absolutely, because this is beyond journalism
Speaker 1: being dead when a Democratic mayor a Palm Beach County
Speaker 1: will defend the Republican governor of the state of Florida
Speaker 1: because they actually worked hand in hand at that meeting.
Speaker 1: I've been briefed on what happened at that meeting. Governor
Speaker 1: De Santa said, Okay, what's the best way? What's the
Speaker 1: best location? Is it drug stores? Is it? You know?
Speaker 1: Should we set up centers? You know what? What what
Speaker 1: will work best for Palm Beach County. And it was
Speaker 1: the mayor that decided on publics. Now, publics is adamantly
Speaker 1: they donate to Republicans and Democrats. They've tried to tie
Speaker 1: this into well, he picked publics. Publics didn't charge the
Speaker 1: State of Florida a single penny to become a vaccination
Speaker 1: center for the state of Florida. They did it as
Speaker 1: a public service for their customers. I mean good for publics.
Speaker 1: I'm always like public stores. They're they're well known throughout
Speaker 1: the South, like wind Dixie and other places. The CBSS
Speaker 1: of Florida, the Walgreens of Florida, the Right Aids of Florida.
Speaker 1: They were all busy actually taking the vaccine into the
Speaker 1: elderly communities. They did that at no charge to the
Speaker 1: state of Florida. I mean, everybody was kind of like
Speaker 1: all hands on deck. And it is if you want
Speaker 1: the model of how to do something right. If you
Speaker 1: know everybody says they want my partisanship, you're here, you
Speaker 1: have it and sixty minutes and I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what this is. Because if Donald
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't run in twenty twenty four, the name you
Speaker 1: hear most often is Governor Ronda Santis. That's I'm hearing
Speaker 1: it from everyone. If Trump doesn't run, I think I
Speaker 1: like Rohnda Santis. I hear that from more people every day.
Speaker 1: And he doesn't hide from his support and friendship of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump either, and the fact that he supports the
Speaker 1: president's agenda. It's the agenda that's gonna matter. Now. It's interesting,
Speaker 1: was we go back to the state of Georgia Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball again, Well, I guess one of the few
Speaker 1: the points out major League Baseball makes a big deal
Speaker 1: with China in the middle of a human rights abuse
Speaker 1: at a level and a scale we've not seen in
Speaker 1: a long time. But they're making financial deals with China. Now,
Speaker 1: all these companies two hundred companies now that have spoken
Speaker 1: out against Georgia, starting with you know, the home base
Speaker 1: in Atlanta for Delta and Coca Cola, and they just
Speaker 1: you know, oh, this this law is unfair. Well, Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball announced they're moving this year's All Star Game
Speaker 1: out of Georgia. And um, by the way, the MLB
Speaker 1: commissioner apparently is a member of Augusta. We're gonna raise
Speaker 1: the Augusta question in this case. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: raising it, but I'm I'm I'm just asking where's where's
Speaker 1: his intellectual consistency and honesty if this is his application?
Speaker 1: But they've gotten everything wrong with it. Now it's headed
Speaker 1: to Colorado, which has many rules that are similar but
Speaker 1: actually are more restrictive than Georgia, just like Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: Delaware has far more restrictive voting laws than the new
Speaker 1: law in the state of Georgia, as does Chuck Schumer's
Speaker 1: New York. So now they moved it to Coors Field
Speaker 1: in Denver and pulling it from Georgia. You know, Georgia
Speaker 1: has seventeen days of in person voting. Colorado is fifteen.
Speaker 1: Colorado has a photo ID requirement. Why are they sending
Speaker 1: it to Colorado and pulling it from Georgia. Major mistake.
Speaker 1: And it's I've been saying this between the medium mob,
Speaker 1: the woke, We've got rage, psychosis, hysteria, and never ending
Speaker 1: lies from the media, lies from the Democrats, lies from
Speaker 1: big tech, the woke, now corporate cowards. It's it's just
Speaker 1: another new level of derangement in psychosis. Every single day
Speaker 1: there's just outright lies about what happened down in Georgia.
Speaker 1: And and what did I say before the election. I'm
Speaker 1: saying we have institutional failure in this country, major institutions
Speaker 1: failing its people, starting with the Democratic Party. You know,
Speaker 1: if you look, if you look at Joe Biden absolutely
Speaker 1: positively lied when he compared this to Jim Crowe. Because
Speaker 1: the new law and Georgia actually creates more early voting,
Speaker 1: more days to vote, more flexibility to vote, adds another
Speaker 1: Saturday to vote, keeps the ballot drop boxes that people
Speaker 1: seem to love so much. Instead of having the two
Speaker 1: tiered signature verification system, one system will be applied to everybody.
Speaker 1: It strengthens the absentee ballot process the same standard whether
Speaker 1: you vote in person or vote by mail. You're allowed
Speaker 1: to bring food and water. That was one big lie.
Speaker 1: Election workers can hand it out partisan organizations, just like
Speaker 1: in New York. You can't hand it out within one
Speaker 1: hundred defeat. The new law requires a voter ID or
Speaker 1: a state issued ID or a social Security number if
Speaker 1: you want to get an absentee ballot, which means you
Speaker 1: have integrity in the system, confidence in the outcome. So
Speaker 1: we don't have to go through what we went through
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. And you know, and I went through
Speaker 1: the whole list yesterday. You want to go visit Joe
Speaker 1: at the White House, Yeah, you need a photo ID.
Speaker 1: Go to the US Capital photo ID, Democratic National Convention
Speaker 1: photo ID. You want to get on an airplane photo ID.
Speaker 1: Want to buy a house, apply for a mortgage, rent
Speaker 1: a house, photo ID. Jeez, you want to buy a
Speaker 1: beer for crying out loud, you need a photo ID.
Speaker 1: I'm at my age. I get carded if I buy
Speaker 1: your jewel pods. If you smoke? You want to buy
Speaker 1: a cigarettes photo ID. You apply for food stamps, photo ID,
Speaker 1: apply for a job, photoid welfare programs, photoid medicare, medicaid, unemployment,
Speaker 1: drive by, rent a car, purchase a gun, adopt a pe,
Speaker 1: run a hotel room, pick up a prescription, donate blood,
Speaker 1: purchase some colder allergy medicine like allegri d and on
Speaker 1: and on and on. Want to pick up tickets at
Speaker 1: will call at an MLB game, You're gonna need a
Speaker 1: photo ID. Seventy two percent of Americans think we should
Speaker 1: require a photo ID. Joe Biden doesn't want you to know.
Speaker 1: His state is far worse by the way he Even
Speaker 1: the Washington Post said he's a liar. Four pinocchios for Joe.
Speaker 1: And if you look at Okay, for example, Delaware is
Speaker 1: no in person early voting, they don't have any of that.
Speaker 1: George is far less restrictive than Delaware. George's got seventy
Speaker 1: seventeen days of in person early voting. None none for Delaware.
Speaker 1: Delaware requires specific excuses if you need an absentee ballot.
Speaker 1: In Georgia, anyone can vote absentee Delaware. There are no
Speaker 1: ballot drop boxes. Georgia drop box is still available. The
Speaker 1: guy that's saying there's a Jim Crow two point zero.
Speaker 1: Now what is he doing here? He's playing the race card? Why?
Speaker 1: I mean, now, it's a little ironic. It's the same
Speaker 1: guy that partnered with the former Klansmen to prevent the
Speaker 1: integration of schools because he didn't want them becoming racial
Speaker 1: jungles his words and the when he partnered with Robert Bird.
Speaker 1: He's the one that referred to African American youth as
Speaker 1: predators on our streets. Of course, the media mob, big
Speaker 1: tech mob, they protected him during the campaign. He was
Speaker 1: in the candidate Protection program. Where was out where you know,
Speaker 1: was any outrage from Delta United American Cooke, any outrage
Speaker 1: on any of this? Are these companies? Are they now
Speaker 1: gonna boycott the Beijing twenty twenty two Olympics? Are they
Speaker 1: going to look at the human rights atrocious human rights
Speaker 1: record at China? Why are they amplifying these these companies
Speaker 1: actually read the law? You know, this is this now
Speaker 1: wokeness now moving towards corporate America. I mean, if this
Speaker 1: is it, I'm gonna tell you what people are gonna
Speaker 1: do on I'm not pushing it. I don't support boycott's
Speaker 1: They're gonna stop buying their products. They're gonna stop flying
Speaker 1: on their airlines. They're gonna look for alternatives. You know,
Speaker 1: Fulton County, Cobb County, Georgia just lost one hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars in revenue thanks to Joe Biden and lies that
Speaker 1: were told by so many. It's it's unbelievable Major League Baseball, Okay,
Speaker 1: and it gets worse from there. It's already backfiring because
Speaker 1: now if Colorado requires photo, I mean, I can't believe.
Speaker 1: Fox News asked Major League Baseball if they research state
Speaker 1: voting laws when determining, they didn't immediately respond to us
Speaker 1: as we were along Sean Hannity Show. Huh, it's pretty interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: circleback Saki Jen Saki propagandists actually now certified liar for
Speaker 1: the Biden White House, as they've lied about a lot
Speaker 1: of things lately. Joe got blown over by the wind,
Speaker 1: That's what happened. No, it's Jim Crow. No. She now
Speaker 1: says it's very uncommon for suspected terrorists to cross the
Speaker 1: border into our country. The information about people who are
Speaker 1: known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terror activities.
Speaker 1: Two people on it from yet have been apprehended at
Speaker 1: the border. How concerned is President find about terrorists possibly
Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of gats in the border to
Speaker 1: get in and kill Well, first, let me convey that
Speaker 1: these type of incidents are very uncommon, and CBP and
Speaker 1: DHS can speak more to the timeline and the specifics
Speaker 1: of course in these particular cases and encounters, but encounters
Speaker 1: of known and suspected terrorists are very uncommon. They do
Speaker 1: underscore the importance of the critical work that is done
Speaker 1: on a daily basis to vet those at the border.
Speaker 1: DHS works not just at the border, as you know,
Speaker 1: but also with international partners to share intelligence and other information,
Speaker 1: including to prevent individuals on certain watch lists from entering
Speaker 1: the United States. They adjudicate individuals encountered at and between
Speaker 1: ports of entry against several classified and unclassified databases. So
Speaker 1: while this is rare, this is a reflection of them
Speaker 1: doing their jobs rare and uncommon. But we'll let them spit.
Speaker 1: They're not allowed to speak because you put a gag
Speaker 1: order on them. Biden's DHSS Department Online Security deleted a
Speaker 1: press release on terrorsts sneaking across the border. Interesting because
Speaker 1: you have two Yemeni men on the FBI's Terror Watchlasters
Speaker 1: are rare arrested in California after a legal crossing the border,
Speaker 1: just weeks after Republicans warned terrorists were entering from Mexico
Speaker 1: the sanctuary country. Now well over a thousand, hundred thousand
Speaker 1: people have gotten away from US this year, if that's
Speaker 1: what the Border Patrol chief has said, over one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand gotten away. We have no idea where they are
Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour. So all
Speaker 1: these Democrats downplaying the suspected terrorists and the border, you know,
Speaker 1: they're silent. Now they're silent. They downplay the possibility. How
Speaker 1: do you downplay that? Because what they're not even acknowledging
Speaker 1: is because of all of the resources, because of Joe's invitation,
Speaker 1: Joe getting rid of the Stay of Mexico policy, Joe
Speaker 1: stopping border wall construction, you know, Joe bringing backcatch and release.
Speaker 1: It's an invitation. The cartels, the human traffickers, drug traffickers,
Speaker 1: they're going wild. They're making more money than ever before.
Speaker 1: Even dumping three and five year old kids was dropping
Speaker 1: them from a fourteen foot fence into the United States
Speaker 1: and they see you later. Good luck. Kid, It's sad,
Speaker 1: it's sick. Democrats downplaying the possibility of individuals on the
Speaker 1: FBI terrorism watch list been silent about border patrols capturing
Speaker 1: these suspected terrorists at the southern border. Monday, US Customs
Speaker 1: Border Protection announced border patrolled agents apprehended this Yemeni man
Speaker 1: who was at the Southern border, name on the FBI's
Speaker 1: terrorism watch list. The second border patrol arrest of a
Speaker 1: Yemeny national with their name on the watch list in
Speaker 1: recent weeks. And you know, so, what do they have
Speaker 1: to say for themselves at what if they committed an
Speaker 1: act of terror? Would they not have blood on their
Speaker 1: hands at that point? Because they're facilitating the law breaking,
Speaker 1: eiding and embedding. I thought that was a crime aiding
Speaker 1: in embedding the United Sanctuary States of America. It aids
Speaker 1: and abets lawbreaking that the government of Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: aiding and abetting criminal activity here and in the meantime,
Speaker 1: with all the resources being drained trying to deal with
Speaker 1: all of the hundreds of thousands of people now crossing
Speaker 1: the border, well, that gives free rein to the more
Speaker 1: nefarious actors to do whatever it is that they do. Drugs,
Speaker 1: human trafficking, prostitution, even of kids into the United States.
Speaker 1: Biden's DHS deleted the release of the terrorists sneaking across
Speaker 1: the border. They don't want you to even see that.
Speaker 1: I've never seen such lack of transparency. Nope, Border patrol
Speaker 1: can't talk to people in the press. All interview requests
Speaker 1: must go through the Biden administration. No more right alongs.
Speaker 1: No cameras inside of the cages that Biden is overcrowded
Speaker 1: with tons of kids in the middle of a pandemic.
Speaker 1: One interesting note Washington Times, Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Speaker 1: mayorcis telling employees that he may restart border wall construction
Speaker 1: to plug what he called gaps in the current barrier.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to put together that montage of every
Speaker 1: Democrat saying walls are bad. If Biden doesn't, I guess
Speaker 1: it'll be good. But this is now where we are now,
Speaker 1: and the circle back press Secretary Saki to say, oh, no,
Speaker 1: very uncommon. It's happening now, we're catching them now. This
Speaker 1: is not something new. Now, We've got a lot of
Speaker 1: things happening here. So we've discussed in great specificity, in
Speaker 1: great detail, the Biden administration and these massive, the biggest
Speaker 1: tax hikes in over three decades that they will be
Speaker 1: imposing on you, we the American people. We've talked about
Speaker 1: they're out of control, reckless spending. We've talked about the
Speaker 1: New Green Deal agenda and how it is completely unaffordable.
Speaker 1: These will be false promises of security that will never
Speaker 1: be fulfilled. We've talked about lost jobs in the energy sector.
Speaker 1: We've talked about the higher price that we're all paying
Speaker 1: now and it's only going to get hired to fill
Speaker 1: our tanks, heat our homes, cool our homes. We've talked
Speaker 1: all about that, and you know, then you look at
Speaker 1: both the evil corporations. We've talked about how corporations don't
Speaker 1: pay taxes. They will pass that cost onto you, onto
Speaker 1: we the American people. You will pay more, just like
Speaker 1: you are paying more for these idiotic energy policies. That
Speaker 1: makes the price of energy, the lifeblood of the world's economy,
Speaker 1: more expensive. So with all of that going on, and
Speaker 1: all the talk about loophole's being closed and higher taxes,
Speaker 1: as a private citizen, we've had an opportunity to look
Speaker 1: at twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen and by
Speaker 1: and his wife, Jill, doctor Jill. They routed thirty million
Speaker 1: dollars of income through what are called s corporations. If
Speaker 1: Hannity owns it, it's called a shell corporation, But an
Speaker 1: LLC usually don't put in your name New York Times,
Speaker 1: Hannity's shell corporations, it's not a shell corporation. It's called
Speaker 1: an LLLC. He purchased the property. Yeah, I did that
Speaker 1: I paid for and that I'm paying for, still paying
Speaker 1: for anyway, and paying taxes on. But they did it.
Speaker 1: But the Bidens did it to avoid paying taxes, in
Speaker 1: this case, taxes that would fund Medicare and the Obamacare
Speaker 1: ACA Act. We have Republican Study Committee Chair Jim Banks.
Speaker 1: He pointed out to Fox News, when we take back
Speaker 1: the House in twenty twenty two, Oversight Committee, Republicans won't
Speaker 1: forget about Biden's legally dubious tax avoidance schemes. You know,
Speaker 1: this is liberals. They're always generous with other people's money.
Speaker 1: They're against guns, but they're absolutely for themselves being having
Speaker 1: armed guards around them. Hollywood liberals. I love that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he goes in a blistering attack, do you intend to
Speaker 1: undo your hypocrisy and pay these taxes back to the
Speaker 1: American people, because we now see that money that you
Speaker 1: earned from book royalties, speaking appearance fees and put into
Speaker 1: these s corporations avoided self employment payroll tax liabilities that
Speaker 1: would have flowed to America's Medicare program that provides care
Speaker 1: to over sixty million seniors. And the ACA Act imposed
Speaker 1: higher taxes on millions of Americans, but not Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: He only paid one hundred and twenty one thousand. He
Speaker 1: paid one hundred and twenty one thousand less in Obamacare taxes,
Speaker 1: Banks says to Fox News. Joe Biden advocated expanding Medicare
Speaker 1: and is pushing to closed tax loopholes and for a
Speaker 1: three trillion dollar tax hike at the same time Amtrak,
Speaker 1: Joe made thirteen million dollars through speaking fees in three years,
Speaker 1: then skimmed over the five hundred thousand dollars for Medicare
Speaker 1: recipients through tax loop bowls. Now here's the most interesting proposal.
Speaker 1: Pay attention to this one. You better enjoy what's left
Speaker 1: to the Trump economy while you can, because these left
Speaker 1: wing lunatics you know, are running the show now. Biden's
Speaker 1: going to up your taxes by trillions of dollars. Apparently
Speaker 1: that's not enough for Treasury Secretary Janet Ellen. She's now
Speaker 1: proposed what is called a global tax hike globally. By
Speaker 1: the way, why I stop there, Why don't we tax
Speaker 1: you know, why don't we hike taxes on the entire
Speaker 1: solar system cases intelligent life out there? They maybe want
Speaker 1: to be forewarned. Maybe we'll have a galaxy wide tax. Anyway,
Speaker 1: she wants what's called a global minimum corporate tax rate. Now,
Speaker 1: think about why why would the United States of a
Speaker 1: Erica could be telling other countries to raise their corporate
Speaker 1: tax rates. It's not a hard answer. Now that comes
Speaker 1: as they're about to begin the two trillion dollar infrastructure
Speaker 1: well two and a half trillion, almost three trillion proposal
Speaker 1: that will raise US corporate taxes. We're working with G
Speaker 1: twenty nations to agree to a global minimum tax corporate
Speaker 1: tax rate that can stop the race to the bottom.
Speaker 1: We can use the global minimum tax to make sure
Speaker 1: the global economy thrives based on a more level playing
Speaker 1: field than the taxation of multinational corporations, and it'll spur
Speaker 1: innovation and prosperity and growth. But that's total. Bs Loops
Speaker 1: almost said it. Competitiveness is about anyway. Yelling had previously
Speaker 1: call for this corporate tax rate. Why do you think
Speaker 1: they want to do that? Why just think about the
Speaker 1: answer for a second. They want to do it because
Speaker 1: Yelling understands something here. Yelling understand ends that companies are
Speaker 1: going to look at this tax and it's going to
Speaker 1: become more appealing to businesses to headquarter their companies in
Speaker 1: low tax countries, which they've done in the past. Now
Speaker 1: she's trying to stop it that way. Now is it
Speaker 1: going to be successful? I would bet the answers You're
Speaker 1: gonna still have taxes, haveing countries. There are countries you
Speaker 1: can buy citizenship too. You'd pay X amount of dollars
Speaker 1: for you and your family. Antigua, for example, you can
Speaker 1: buy I think it's one hundred and thirty four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: You can be a full on citizen. There are people
Speaker 1: that have given up their citizenship. I don't want to
Speaker 1: give up my American citizenships. You know, still the greatest
Speaker 1: country God gave man. I just want a new government.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we begin that process in twenty twenty two. Biden's
Speaker 1: Energy secretary doesn't deny tax hikes for massive in structure
Speaker 1: is going to hit the middle class hard. Well, that
Speaker 1: was nice that they finally accidentally fell on the truth.
Speaker 1: Jennifer Granholm. Yeah, I don't deny tax sites. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna hit the middle class hard. We're actually saying this
Speaker 1: your tax dollars. Get this. We put it on Hannity
Speaker 1: dot Com today. The US has agreed to and the
Speaker 1: United Arab Emirate's released a joint statement affirming both countries
Speaker 1: commitment to help finance the decarbonization in the Middle East
Speaker 1: and North Africa. Why is one penny of hard earned
Speaker 1: American tax dollars going to the decarbonization in the Middle
Speaker 1: East and North Africa? Why would we pay that? Why
Speaker 1: would you tax us to pay that? But that's what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do. Now, what yelling here is calling
Speaker 1: forward this global minimum tax rate is interesting. Right now,
Speaker 1: the state of New York is about to become the
Speaker 1: highest tax state in the entire Union. You now, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a forty percent income tax rate federally
Speaker 1: New York. Now, when you combine state and city income
Speaker 1: taxes only, Now New York has high. I live in
Speaker 1: the second highest tax county in the country, the county
Speaker 1: I was actually born in. It's called Nassau County. Now,
Speaker 1: when you add combine state and city income tax rates,
Speaker 1: it will be a higher fourteen point eight percent, so
Speaker 1: forty percent of the federal government just for income taxes,
Speaker 1: no Social Security taxes. Then you add the fifteen percent
Speaker 1: state and city tax that's fifty five cents of every
Speaker 1: dollar I make going to government. Then you add the
Speaker 1: property taxes the highest in the country, second highest in
Speaker 1: the country. And literally they're saying, this is what. Now,
Speaker 1: if I moved down to Florida, I immediately save fifteen
Speaker 1: percent probably closer to twenty to twenty five percent of
Speaker 1: money moving to Florida. Now I have to work out
Speaker 1: a deal with my employers to make that happen. Then
Speaker 1: they're adding the legalization of marijuana and they're going to
Speaker 1: tax the hell out of that. Then they're looking at
Speaker 1: sports betting because they think that can generate five hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Then they're have the Excluded Workers
Speaker 1: Fund two point one billion to new spending. Then they
Speaker 1: have the Rental Assistance Fund two point three billion. Then
Speaker 1: they have Education aid one point four billion. Why is
Speaker 1: anybody you want to know? Why people are leaving New
Speaker 1: York and California and New Joysey and Pennsylvania and Michigan
Speaker 1: and other high tax liberal states because of this? Why
Speaker 1: is Florida booming? Florida right now? Real estate is at
Speaker 1: a record high explosive growth. They've I've talked to realtor
Speaker 1: friends of mine. They said they've got bidding wars on
Speaker 1: every house down there. If it opens up, it's insane.
Speaker 1: I'll ask the Palm Beach mayor. I'll ask Rhnda Santis,
Speaker 1: who's going to join us at the top of the
Speaker 1: hour about it. And the reason that this ties into
Speaker 1: yelling is because yelling sees what's happening in New York,
Speaker 1: sees what's happening in New Jersey, sees what's happening in California,
Speaker 1: sees what's happening in Illinois and Michigan. And she's saying, Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna if we can get the rest of the
Speaker 1: world to buy into our high corporate tax structure, then
Speaker 1: these companies can't move to other countries. Now, You're not
Speaker 1: gonna get every other country to go along with us. Madness,
Speaker 1: because they're gonna want to entice businesses to leave the
Speaker 1: United States and build their corporate headquarters and provide jobs
Speaker 1: for people in their country who need jobs. That means
Speaker 1: Americans post pandemic will have less jobs available. And that
Speaker 1: is eighteen million Americans. Add to that the millions of
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants that will get amnesty, add to that energy
Speaker 1: sector workers that just got fired by Joe Biden, and
Speaker 1: what you have is a formula for economic disaster. And
Speaker 1: they're trying to get these other countries to do it.
Speaker 1: It would be like New York saying to the rest
Speaker 1: of the country, Yeah, you raise your states, state and
Speaker 1: city taxes to New York's level, and then people won't
Speaker 1: leave New York. Well, I got to know the governors
Speaker 1: of Texas at varying times, Florida, Louisiana, Carolinas, Tennessee. I
Speaker 1: got to know these govern is really well because they
Speaker 1: always would come up to New York because they were
Speaker 1: here to appeal to businesses and Wall Street to leave.
Speaker 1: Guess what, Wall Street, One company after another they're packing
Speaker 1: up and they're leaving. They're all leaving. These office buildings
Speaker 1: are never gonna be filled the way they were at
Speaker 1: the prices they were getting at their height. So this
Speaker 1: is now they're just doubling down on colossal stupidity. Right
Speaker 1: hour or two, Sean Hannity show, gladuate with us right
Speaker 1: down our toll free number. We'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 1: It's eight hundred and nine four one, Sean. You want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. By the way,
Speaker 1: one hour from right now, we have the Democratic mayor
Speaker 1: of Palm Beach County, his name is Mayor Dave Kerner,
Speaker 1: who is saying that not only was the report on
Speaker 1: sixty minutes fake and intentionally false, but he offered to
Speaker 1: tell them the truth, and they just spent forty five
Speaker 1: minutes on the phone with sixty minutes. They didn't want
Speaker 1: to hear the insight of what really happened with the
Speaker 1: discussion that took place with Governor Rohnda Santis down in Florida.
Speaker 1: As it relates to the distribution of the vaccine, it
Speaker 1: happens to be a very high population of elderly of
Speaker 1: elderly people down in Palm Beach County and anyway, so
Speaker 1: the governor came to Palm Beach County, met with the mayor,
Speaker 1: met with the county administrator gave him a whole host
Speaker 1: of options, and he's saying, I'm the one that decided
Speaker 1: it should go to public, so the governor let us
Speaker 1: decide after laying out every option imaginable. But of course
Speaker 1: sixty Minutes did want to hear any of that. It's
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable to me. Let me play Ronda Santis sparring
Speaker 1: with the CBS reporter over the COVID vaccine rollout and
Speaker 1: this fake, fraudulent, fake news sixty Minutes hit piece that
Speaker 1: they were in public says, you know, donated a hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to your campaign and then you rewarded them
Speaker 1: with the exclusive rights to distribute the vaccination in first
Speaker 1: of all, that what you're saying is wrong, that's a
Speaker 1: fake narrative. I met with the county mayor, I met
Speaker 1: with the administrator, I met with all the folks at
Speaker 1: Palm Beach County, and I said, here's some of the options.
Speaker 1: We can do more drive through sites, we can give
Speaker 1: more to hospitals, we can do the publics and they said,
Speaker 1: we think that would be the easiest thing for our residence.
Speaker 1: But Melissa McKinley, the county commissioner in the Glades told
Speaker 1: us the governor never met with her about the public's deal.
Speaker 1: The criticism is that it's paid a play. It's wrong,
Speaker 1: it's wrong, it's a fake narrative. I just disabused you
Speaker 1: of the narrative, and you don't care about the facts
Speaker 1: because obviously I laid it out for you in a
Speaker 1: way that is irrefutable. So it's clearly not no, no,
Speaker 1: you're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. Yes, it's actually a fact.
Speaker 1: So the mayor of Palm Beach County said, you know,
Speaker 1: he felt compelled. He released the statement after sixty Minutes
Speaker 1: ran this hit piece. I watched the sixty minutes segment
Speaker 1: on Palm Beach County last night and feel compelled to
Speaker 1: issue this statement. The reporting was not just based on
Speaker 1: bad information, it was intentionally false. I know this because
Speaker 1: I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County's
Speaker 1: vaccination efforts and sixty minutes decline. I happen to know
Speaker 1: that the mayor spoke with sixty minutes of whopping forty
Speaker 1: five minutes, and they still refused to tell his side
Speaker 1: of the story. Forget about, you know, fair and balanced anything.
Speaker 1: He goes on and he says they know. The governor
Speaker 1: came to Palm Beach County, met with me, met with
Speaker 1: the county administrator, and we asked to expand the state's
Speaker 1: partnership with publics to Palm Beach County. We also discussed
Speaker 1: our own local plans to expand mass vaccination centers throughout
Speaker 1: the county, which the governor has been incredibly supportive. This
Speaker 1: is a democratic mayor, he said, We asked and he delivered.
Speaker 1: They had this information, they left it out. Is it
Speaker 1: kneecapped their whole narrative. In other words, when they finally
Speaker 1: heard from the mayor of Palm Beach County, the Democratic mayor,
Speaker 1: that their hip piece ended, but they just decided not
Speaker 1: to air that part or even interview on camera. The mayor,
Speaker 1: who was offering to be interviewed, spend forty five minutes
Speaker 1: on the phone with the producers of Sixty Minutes. We
Speaker 1: have confronted this pandemic for over a year our residence,
Speaker 1: like all Americans attired. The media is making it worse.
Speaker 1: They're just help ben on dividing us for cheap views
Speaker 1: and clicks, and sixty Minutes should be ashamed. Governor Rhonda
Speaker 1: Santis the great state of Florida, joins us. How are you, sir.
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Sean. I still have the ability to
Speaker 1: minshew a Florida driver's license, so you just let me
Speaker 1: know and you'll ask you a question about that as
Speaker 1: long as you brought it up. Is it true that
Speaker 1: if I'm down there for just two months, I can
Speaker 1: declare a homestead and get a license from down there,
Speaker 1: So you can declare a permanent residence in Florida. Now
Speaker 1: that's different than relieving you of taxes from New York.
Speaker 1: So we do have people that vote in Florida, that
Speaker 1: live here even a majority of the year, who still
Speaker 1: fight with New York on taxes. So it's a different
Speaker 1: analysis than the tax But it's definitely possible that you
Speaker 1: could come down here and be homesteaded here, be registered
Speaker 1: to vote here. Now, how do you do that? If
Speaker 1: I'm still let's say I spend more time up in
Speaker 1: New York than I did down in Florida, but I
Speaker 1: was down there a couple of months a year, would
Speaker 1: I be able to homestead down there? Whatever your primary
Speaker 1: residence is, if it's if you consider it Florida, you
Speaker 1: can homestead here in the state of Florida. We don't
Speaker 1: have you got to be in your home a certain
Speaker 1: number of times or whatnot. If you count somewhere else
Speaker 1: as your primary residence, then that would be different. My
Speaker 1: understanding is New York tax officials literally pretty much lived
Speaker 1: down in Florida, and they're harassing people that move from
Speaker 1: New York to Florida to make sure and you have
Speaker 1: to prove to the state of New York. In other words,
Speaker 1: you're not innocent until proven guilty. You must prove that
Speaker 1: you've been down there, what is it one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty however many days a year, because at that point
Speaker 1: then you don't have to pay New York state income taxes.
Speaker 1: Have you heard those those nightmarish stories as well. I've
Speaker 1: absolutely heard that there are New York revenue agents who
Speaker 1: just work in Florida. They have them stationed down here,
Speaker 1: and they're looking to try to figure out who's almost
Speaker 1: going to follow me to my grave. Good grief, you
Speaker 1: would be okay instead of sending revenue agents down here
Speaker 1: to police people who are fleeing, maybe figure out why
Speaker 1: people are fleeing your state and fix the underlying problems.
Speaker 1: But it seems like they just keep doubling down on
Speaker 1: the failed policies. No, they're what they're proposing now in
Speaker 1: New York State. Governor dissenters, you'll love this, a four
Speaker 1: billion dollars tax increase. So anybody that makes any money
Speaker 1: is now if they if they're on the fence. Uh,
Speaker 1: I can. I can barely afford this. Now they're pushing
Speaker 1: them to states like Florida. Florida seems to be the
Speaker 1: number one destination though from New York, New Jersey and
Speaker 1: other areas. Let me get to this hip piece, because
Speaker 1: you know, I guess because you protected the elderly. The
Speaker 1: one thing that they got right was the elderly the
Speaker 1: most vulnerable to COVID. And I remember interviewing you very
Speaker 1: early on and you had you said to me, and
Speaker 1: I never forgot it that you mobilized every state agency
Speaker 1: to go to every nursing home, every elder community in
Speaker 1: the state of Florida, from the villages on down, all
Speaker 1: across Florida to protect the elderly. You did not put
Speaker 1: COVID patients in nursing homes through executive action or in
Speaker 1: group homes through executive action like New York did, Pennsylvania did,
Speaker 1: New Jersey did in Michigan did did you no? And
Speaker 1: in fact, we did the option. We banned hospitals from
Speaker 1: discharging COVID positive pay since back to nursing homes, and
Speaker 1: we also set up COVID only nursing facilities so that
Speaker 1: if you had an outbreak at a nursing home, maybe
Speaker 1: two residents tested positive, you could isolate them in a
Speaker 1: separate nursing home so that the rest of the residents
Speaker 1: wouldn't be infected, and vice a versa. If somebody was
Speaker 1: discharged from a hospital, they could go to a COVID unit, recover,
Speaker 1: and then go back to their nursing home once they're
Speaker 1: no longer contagious. And I think because we did that, Sean,
Speaker 1: even though we have one of the most elderly populations
Speaker 1: in the country, they're twenty six states that have hired
Speaker 1: per capita COVID mortality than us and amongst senior citizens
Speaker 1: sixty five and up, there are forty states that have
Speaker 1: higher per capita COVID mortality for senior citizens in the
Speaker 1: state of Florida, So focusing on senior's early work and
Speaker 1: then on the back end, putting seniors first on the
Speaker 1: vaccinations worked and that's kind of where we find ourselves
Speaker 1: with this sixty minutes monstrosity. We had one of the
Speaker 1: most robust vaccine efforts because we had so many any
Speaker 1: different distribution points. I mean, we had hospitals obviously, we
Speaker 1: had county health departments, we had drive through site, we
Speaker 1: did a number of We did tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: doses at African American churches. We would go to fifty
Speaker 1: five and up communities like Century Village down in Broward
Speaker 1: County and show up there and vaccinate thousands of seniors.
Speaker 1: We did retail with CVS and Walgreens going to nursing
Speaker 1: homes initially, then we added Publics as a retail partner,
Speaker 1: and then we've now since added Walmart and Win Dixie,
Speaker 1: and so it's worked. We've now done three and a
Speaker 1: half million seniors. We have one of the best, if
Speaker 1: not the best, records for vaccinating seniors in the country.
Speaker 1: And you have partisan sixty minutes CBS trying to come
Speaker 1: down and smearing me, saying because Publics is a supporter
Speaker 1: of my political pack, that somehow we rewarded them with
Speaker 1: an exclusive, secret deal. It's false. There was never an
Speaker 1: exclusive deal with Publics in fact, Sean, we never paid
Speaker 1: Publics a dime, We never had a contract with public
Speaker 1: Publics was willing to receive vaccines and do it at
Speaker 1: no cost to the state. They did a heck of
Speaker 1: a job. They're one of the most respected companies anywhere
Speaker 1: in the United States. There probably our most respected company
Speaker 1: by a long shot. It would have been malpracticed not
Speaker 1: to get Publics involved, and so they spliced out my
Speaker 1: entire f which you showed played from sixty minutes. They
Speaker 1: spliced out my entire explanation of how all this happened,
Speaker 1: the idea that publics was exclusive. No cvs and Walgreens
Speaker 1: were doing it before public hospitals were doing it. We
Speaker 1: had all these things going on and it was very successful.
Speaker 1: Palm Beach in particulars agreedious because, as the mayor said,
Speaker 1: Democrat Mayor, I went down, we discussed what are the options,
Speaker 1: what do you think we could do reduce the numbers
Speaker 1: very early on, and they thought they calculated that ninety
Speaker 1: percent of their seniors in Palm Beach County lived within
Speaker 1: a mile and a half of a publics. So we
Speaker 1: had a situation, Sean, where some of our elderly had
Speaker 1: not been doing a lot for the previous year because
Speaker 1: of COVID, but almost all of them would still go
Speaker 1: to the supermarket. Almost all of them would still go
Speaker 1: to primarily to publics, so they felt comfortable going there
Speaker 1: in a way that having them drive halfway across town
Speaker 1: to go to a drive through site they may not,
Speaker 1: or even going to a hospital site where some people
Speaker 1: were not comfortable doing that. So I think it was
Speaker 1: a genius idea and nobody worrying. They don't say that
Speaker 1: this didn't work. It did work, and it was done
Speaker 1: in conjunction with the county, and they CBS had all
Speaker 1: that information. They claimed they were down here for three months,
Speaker 1: so they spent three months digging up dirt and the
Speaker 1: best they could come up with was a bogus conspiracy
Speaker 1: theory trying to smear me and our most popular, respected
Speaker 1: company in the whole state. Give me a break. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing. These folks can't keep getting away with this.
Speaker 1: They lie and they lie and they lie, and then
Speaker 1: they just move on to the next target. We're not
Speaker 1: letting this go away. We're going to expose more and
Speaker 1: more of the lies because the big lie has been exposed.
Speaker 1: But there are little lies that are. We're kind of
Speaker 1: propping that up that we're going to expose those as well,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a lot to answer for. So,
Speaker 1: but all your listeners just understand this corporate media cannot
Speaker 1: be trusted in any way, shape or form. They are
Speaker 1: purely partisan smear operations and that's what they do every day.
Speaker 1: They've never done anything about their own governor in New
Speaker 1: York for any of the things that are going on there.
Speaker 1: They've never done anything about these lockdown governors just simply
Speaker 1: because those governors are in their party. I'm the governor
Speaker 1: that's not in their party. So the one governor they
Speaker 1: pick the one the state, the biggest state of all
Speaker 1: the big states. We've done the best across the board
Speaker 1: on all this stuff, and they come here to Florida
Speaker 1: and try to manufacture a hit piece you and we're
Speaker 1: gonna have Mayor Dave Kerner on. I mean, I found
Speaker 1: I was blown away by his statement. And here you
Speaker 1: have a democratic mayor saying the governor came, we met
Speaker 1: with him, we laid it, he laid out all the options, totally, cooperative, totally,
Speaker 1: you know, we were as bipartisan as everybody says. They
Speaker 1: want that happened, and they say it's intentionally false. I mean,
Speaker 1: now I've had my own little run on what CBS is.
Speaker 1: Ted Copple once interviews me for an hour and picks
Speaker 1: the one minute that he can look good in to
Speaker 1: air and doesn't and then cuts out my answer. Oh yeah, waste.
Speaker 1: You know. So they had asked me to do an interview,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why the hell would I interview you.
Speaker 1: I let you interview me for thirty minutes and then
Speaker 1: you'll splice thirty seconds to try to make me look bad.
Speaker 1: I gave a two minute comprehensive response, and they spliced
Speaker 1: out all the facts that blow up their narrative just
Speaker 1: in that two minute response. So imagine what they would
Speaker 1: have done there. That's what they do. But Mayor Kerner,
Speaker 1: We've worked together on all this stuff because you know
Speaker 1: what our goal, joint goal was to save the lives
Speaker 1: of our elderly people, and we succeeded. In Palm Beach
Speaker 1: were vaccinated over two hundred and seventy five thousand seniors
Speaker 1: as of today now Florida as vaccines open to the
Speaker 1: entire population who wants it, who are old enough to
Speaker 1: have it, and so so it's been a big success,
Speaker 1: and I think it's because we've been able to work
Speaker 1: together and really be be collaborative. And so they we
Speaker 1: Turner offered to talk to him interview on camera. Our
Speaker 1: director of emergency management, who is the one that teed
Speaker 1: up the public's initial public's allocations. He's a Democrat as well,
Speaker 1: Jared Moskowitz, and he said at the time that this
Speaker 1: was nonsense, and then he said, in response to sixty minutes,
Speaker 1: this is nonsense. I've told you what happened. They would
Speaker 1: not interview Jared Moscowitz, who was in charge of our
Speaker 1: vaccine distribution. And again he's a Democrat, bipartisan, but he's
Speaker 1: going to speak the truth on this because the facts
Speaker 1: are just the facts. And so you have a situation
Speaker 1: where CBS intentionally created a false narrative. They knew lined,
Speaker 1: you know, if you really want to get into why
Speaker 1: they did this intentionally false story. And I do give
Speaker 1: a lot of credit to all of these Democrats that
Speaker 1: have said, not only is a false but it's intentionally false.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know that. Dave Kerner
Speaker 1: spent forty five minutes on the phone, offered to go
Speaker 1: on camera to tell them the truth and they purposely
Speaker 1: said no to him, which which tells you everything you
Speaker 1: need to know. But I mean it was a moment
Speaker 1: where you have people on both sides of the aisle
Speaker 1: trying to just stand up for the best interest of
Speaker 1: the elderly population down in Florida. I give credit to
Speaker 1: both sides here. Do you think a lot of this
Speaker 1: is rooted? Because there's a lot of talk already about
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and if whether Donald Trump runs is
Speaker 1: yet to be determined, we got to get through the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two mid term. I'm sure a lot will
Speaker 1: be determined as a results as the results of that
Speaker 1: night come in that your name is mentioned a lot
Speaker 1: as a future Republican president evential candidate, because I think
Speaker 1: it is directly related to it. Well. I think it also, Sean,
Speaker 1: is the fact that from the very beginning of COVID,
Speaker 1: corporate media has had it out for Florida. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've always tried to say Florida's worse than New York,
Speaker 1: doing worse than all these other states. There's never been
Speaker 1: data to support it. We've done much better on a
Speaker 1: per capita basis on COVID than all the lockdown states
Speaker 1: like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, California has much
Speaker 1: higher per capita mortality for elderly than we do, and
Speaker 1: their economies have been a disaster. So I think the
Speaker 1: fact that I challenged the lockdown narrative, that I focused
Speaker 1: on elderly, but I also got our kids in school,
Speaker 1: made sure everyone has a right to work, businesses have
Speaker 1: a right to be open. Our unemployment rates four point
Speaker 1: seven percent nationally as six point three percent. Lockdown states
Speaker 1: are seven eight percent. They cannot accept that they were
Speaker 1: wrong and their lockdown hero governors that they promoted were wrong.
Speaker 1: And not only were they long, they destroyed millions of
Speaker 1: people's lives. Kids who've been locked out of school, people
Speaker 1: that have lost their jobs, businesses that have shuddered, and oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, they locked seniors in nursing homes and
Speaker 1: cause way more coke and believable. I think part of
Speaker 1: that has been there, and then, quite frankly, Sean, they
Speaker 1: covered up that's even worse, of course, and I'm but
Speaker 1: also I'm a Republican. I don't run away. I worked
Speaker 1: with Trump closely, He's a friend of mine. I don't
Speaker 1: the media has hatred for him. I think unless you're
Speaker 1: out there constantly bashing him, than they hate you even
Speaker 1: more for that too. So they have all these different
Speaker 1: reasons that they're doing it. But at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, this is blown up on them already. There's
Speaker 1: more to come in terms of just showing how dishonest
Speaker 1: it was, and I think it's a further lesson to
Speaker 1: all the conservatives out there don't trust corporate media. Well done,
Speaker 1: and honestly, thank god some governors like yourself got it
Speaker 1: right because a lot of lives saved as a result
Speaker 1: of the decisions you made based on the science. Governor
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis, thank you for being one of us. We
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Hope you join us again soon. Thanks Sean.
Speaker 1: Take eight hundred ninety for one, Sean, you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. The mayor of Palm
Speaker 1: Beach County, the Democratic mayor who backs up the governor
Speaker 1: completely on this, felt compelled to speak out. He'll join
Speaker 1: us at the top of the hour. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to our busy phones. Here. Jack is in the
Speaker 1: great state of Tennessee. What's up, Jack, How are you, sir?
Speaker 1: Doing well? I appreciate you taking my call. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to way in on the CEOs that are voicing
Speaker 1: their opinion or highlighting their ignorance. One particularly the co
Speaker 1: Cola CEO. I'm a co Cola shareholder, and it infuriates
Speaker 1: me to have a guy that gets paid well, paid,
Speaker 1: paid well in the seven figures to do one thing,
Speaker 1: and that's to sell coke. He's not if he wants
Speaker 1: to interpret the law, especially the Georgia election laws, and
Speaker 1: let him do that on his own gue and and
Speaker 1: and because he all it does you just make me mad.
Speaker 1: If he stands at the under the banner of a
Speaker 1: company that I'm at least a part owner in and
Speaker 1: voices that opinion which does not reflect mine, it just
Speaker 1: it makes me mad. You know, I would not have
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. It's what are they going
Speaker 1: to do with the twenty twenty two Winter Olympics in China?
Speaker 1: How does MLB justify doing a deal with all the
Speaker 1: human rights abuses in China going on right now this
Speaker 1: very day? How do they justify that? How do they
Speaker 1: justify that the State of Delaware laws are are far
Speaker 1: more restrictive than this new Georgia law. You know, we've
Speaker 1: gone over all the data, all the information. What this
Speaker 1: really comes down to, I'm telling you, Jack, this is
Speaker 1: about one thing, well two things. One is they don't
Speaker 1: want any identification of any kind, even though you need
Speaker 1: I D for pretty much everything else in life, as
Speaker 1: we've discussed. And the second thing, they don't want a
Speaker 1: signature verification. And the third thing is is now you
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, why not, considering you can't do
Speaker 1: a million things without any type of photo ID. It's
Speaker 1: because the only conclusion I can come up with is
Speaker 1: they want to cheat. They want to have the potential
Speaker 1: to cheat, and this keeps everybody honest, it instills confidence
Speaker 1: and integrity in the system. But they don't want that.
Speaker 1: They want chaos. Chaos they believe help them in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: and they believe will help them in in future elections.
Speaker 1: And we better be careful because it's not good for anybody. Claudia,
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Hey, Claudia, how are you glad you called? Hey?
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. I appreciate it. I wanted
Speaker 1: to call in and say that I commend Senators Ted Cruz,
Speaker 1: Lucy Graham, Tim Scott, Rand Paul for speaking up for conservatives,
Speaker 1: but Where are the other forty five senators? What are they?
Speaker 1: Why aren't they pushing back on Biden the way the
Speaker 1: Democrats push back on Trump. I mean, there's power in numbers,
Speaker 1: and everybody needs to work together to push back on
Speaker 1: these executive orders, the border crisis, HR one, sr One,
Speaker 1: you're right, yes, well, I'm beginning to see this. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't see the Republicans. I don't think in the
Speaker 1: end we'll see what Murkowski, SaaS and Romney do. I
Speaker 1: don't see any of them supporting this infrastructure bill, although
Speaker 1: now they'll use the reconciliation process which bypasses you know,
Speaker 1: Senate rules and the filipbuster. We gotta wait, watch and
Speaker 1: see what happens. But Republicans can stop pretty much any
Speaker 1: bill they want by walking out of the chamber and
Speaker 1: not allowing a quorum to be created. That's not something
Speaker 1: that Vice President or President if you prefer, Harris has
Speaker 1: the power to do in terms of breaking a tie.
Speaker 1: But you're right, they got to stay united. Why wouldn't
Speaker 1: they stay united? Exactly? All right? Claudia, thank you, We
Speaker 1: appreciate your call back to Tennessee. And Amanda, Hi, how
Speaker 1: are you glad you called hu Sean. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to bring a little bit of awareness to patients that
Speaker 1: are still dying for COVID reasons. My dad passed away
Speaker 1: two weeks ago today, and I'm very sorry he got
Speaker 1: that close to a vaccine and he got COVID late
Speaker 1: and passed away. Well, it was the incompetence of the hospital,
Speaker 1: and I believe that keeping family members away while people
Speaker 1: are in the hospital being treated kill so many patients.
Speaker 1: And I would even venture to say that a lot
Speaker 1: of the deaths that have happened that have been attributed
Speaker 1: to COVID are not COVID. It is from incompetence and
Speaker 1: people being shut off from their families. Because when you
Speaker 1: go into a hospital and you are COVID positive, you
Speaker 1: are put in a twenty one day isolation where your
Speaker 1: family can't see you. If you're on a ventilator, you
Speaker 1: can't talk to them, you're heavily sedated, you're paralyzed, and
Speaker 1: staying on stuff like that is just so hard on
Speaker 1: the body. And my dad got so close to beating it,
Speaker 1: and if not for so much incompetence, and we know
Speaker 1: it happened because we were there. My mom is a
Speaker 1: nurse that was able to get us into the hospital,
Speaker 1: and I spent nights in that hospital even though it
Speaker 1: was against hospital regulations, and she spent nights, and we
Speaker 1: saw so many occasions where he would have died if
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have been there to help bring awareness and
Speaker 1: people would live if they were there to be able
Speaker 1: to help the doctors and nurses, we're not there. I
Speaker 1: got to agree with you, and especially if family members
Speaker 1: and loved ones, if they're willing to take the necessary
Speaker 1: precautions just like healthcare workers, or maybe they need to
Speaker 1: show that they've got vaccinated, and if you're not of
Speaker 1: the age yet to get fascinated, they should be an
Speaker 1: exception for someone like yourself or someone that has a
Speaker 1: six family member. I don't disagree the just the encouraging
Speaker 1: aspect of having somebody there, because in fairness to hospital workers,
Speaker 1: a lot of them are they're gulping water all day.
Speaker 1: They've got, you know, five hundred people on a ventil later,
Speaker 1: they got people in the hall, they got you know,
Speaker 1: they're running around, they're doing I know they're trying their
Speaker 1: best and doing an amazing job, but the extra help
Speaker 1: would be something that you have. So many people have
Speaker 1: been shut out and their loved ones have died. They
Speaker 1: don't even get to say goodbye. And then you have
Speaker 1: these funerals where like ten people can go. It's it's
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable in a bad way, and it's sad, and
Speaker 1: you know, the process of mourning even becomes more difficult
Speaker 1: than it already is. And I'm very sorry about your father.
Speaker 1: It's it's I'm sure it's it's. You know, no one
Speaker 1: wants to lose a loved one. You just don't. It's
Speaker 1: very painful, Yes, it is. Yeah, all right, godspeed. We're
Speaker 1: praying for you. We wish you the best. You and
Speaker 1: your family. I'm sorry that that all that you lived
Speaker 1: through that. I'm very hard on these families. You have
Speaker 1: a loved one in a hospital and you're shut out. Um. Now,
Speaker 1: I do believe that the nurses, the doctors, I know
Speaker 1: they're trying everything they can do. They've learned a lot
Speaker 1: from the last year. I will say that it used
Speaker 1: to be that, you know, twelve fifteen percent of people
Speaker 1: on a ventilator survived, but they've they've learned techniques. Now
Speaker 1: that that percentage is up around fifty percent. And it's
Speaker 1: because they've they've learned throughout the process. Um, anyway, back
Speaker 1: to our phones, we go as we say hi to
Speaker 1: David Is in California, the United Socialist Republic. Comrade, how
Speaker 1: are you glad you called? Thanks? Chan? Tell are you good?
Speaker 1: Say John? So the one example of how the consumer
Speaker 1: is actually paying these higher corporate taxes I discovered in
Speaker 1: how these obstacles that my households each weekly have lost
Speaker 1: an inch and a half of height in the popsicle.
Speaker 1: We paid the money. Your favorite popsicle down costs the same,
Speaker 1: but you get less popsicle. That's so unfair. And that's
Speaker 1: how that's how these corporations were absorbing the cost of
Speaker 1: that higher tax base. Now, so what you said one
Speaker 1: of my kids was eating like a Twinkie or something.
Speaker 1: I know they've sold the company Hostess. Amused to have
Speaker 1: it when I was a kid, and I'd get to
Speaker 1: pack with two Twinkies in it. I used to love them.
Speaker 1: And I've loved funny bones, the ones with the peanut
Speaker 1: butter and yodels, the womans with the white cream, and
Speaker 1: loved them ring Dings and devil Dog. I loved all
Speaker 1: that crap. Anyway, Um, but I remember my kid had
Speaker 1: like a single twinkie and I looked at it. I said, whoa,
Speaker 1: what they do to the twinkie half missing? I know
Speaker 1: exactly what you're talking about, right, So, yes, the public
Speaker 1: pays the higher tax cost. Yeah, of course, the corporations
Speaker 1: are not going to absorb the tax burden. They're going
Speaker 1: to pass it on us. You know, a new green
Speaker 1: deal is great, but guess what, we're now still dependent
Speaker 1: on the lifeblood of the world's economy and we'll be
Speaker 1: importing it pay more for it, and that's another tax
Speaker 1: on us and all these rich you know. The amazing
Speaker 1: thing about what Yellen is proposing of a worldwide corporate rate,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, why does she want that? Because they're
Speaker 1: deathly afraid that, like companies that are leaving New York
Speaker 1: in droves, companies are going to move their businesses overseas
Speaker 1: and they're gonna make more money. The bottom line matters
Speaker 1: to corporations. They're in business now. They do create goods
Speaker 1: and services we want, we need, we desire, But they're
Speaker 1: also in the business of making a profit. They have
Speaker 1: a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to make the most money
Speaker 1: possible because they're investing in their product or service. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get hit with that too. And it's a
Speaker 1: big fat lie that, oh, if you make, if you
Speaker 1: make only if you make over four un a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year, you're gonna pay to this. That's a lie.
Speaker 1: You're not that's not It's not gonna be how that
Speaker 1: plays out that I can tell you. And I wish
Speaker 1: people would understand it, because all the hearing is everything's
Speaker 1: going to be free. And I would just argue, well,
Speaker 1: what does government do so well that gives you the
Speaker 1: confidence to give them more power over your life? That
Speaker 1: Obamacare flopped and failed, every promise broken, soulsial security, Medicare
Speaker 1: is going bankrupt. How are these democratic governors that have
Speaker 1: run democratic states for decades, mayors for decades? How are
Speaker 1: they doing with safety and security in law and order?
Speaker 1: Not too good? How are those school systems in those
Speaker 1: blue states that that partner with the teachers unions and
Speaker 1: the grades are horrific and many of them it's terrible.
Speaker 1: Quick break right back, all right, News round up an
Speaker 1: information overload our Sean Hannity Show eight hundred and nine
Speaker 1: four one sewn. You want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program, we'll get to your calls. I promise, coming
Speaker 1: up straight ahead. So in the last hour, we had
Speaker 1: Governor de Santis, the great State of Florida. Florida's success
Speaker 1: on coronavirus so different from New York and New Jersey
Speaker 1: and California and Pennsylvania and Michigan. It is. They've done
Speaker 1: so amazingly well with one of the highest percentages of
Speaker 1: the most vulnerable elderly population in the entire country. And
Speaker 1: every elected official, frankly deserves credit because they all work together.
Speaker 1: Even though they have some political disagreements, they didn't disagree
Speaker 1: on protecting the most vulnerable. Anyway. Let me just play again.
Speaker 1: This is Governor Rhonda Santis, the unedited version of his
Speaker 1: response to sixty minutes, of which they only ran a
Speaker 1: few seconds. And then I'll introduce you to the Democratic
Speaker 1: mayor of Palm Beach County. Here's Governor DeSantis, unedited version
Speaker 1: of his response to sixty minutes. So, first of all,
Speaker 1: that what you're saying is wrong, that's that's a fake narrative.
Speaker 1: So first of all, when we did the first pharmacies
Speaker 1: that had it were CBS and Walgreens, and they had
Speaker 1: a long term care mission, so they were going to
Speaker 1: the long term care facilities. They got vaccine in the
Speaker 1: middle of December. They started going to the long term
Speaker 1: care facilities the third week at December to do LTCs.
Speaker 1: So that was their mission. That was very important and
Speaker 1: we trusted them to do that. As we got into January,
Speaker 1: we wanted to expand the distribution points. So, yes, you
Speaker 1: had the counties, you had some drive through sites, you
Speaker 1: had hospitals that we're doing a lot, but we wanted
Speaker 1: to get it into communities more so we reached out
Speaker 1: to other retail pharmacies, publics Walmart obviously, CBS and Walgreens
Speaker 1: had to finish that mission and we said we're gon
Speaker 1: we're gonna use you. See you're done with that for
Speaker 1: the publics, they were the first one to raise their
Speaker 1: hands say they were ready to go. And you know what,
Speaker 1: we did it on a trial basis. I had three counties.
Speaker 1: I actually showed up that weekend and talked to seniors
Speaker 1: across four different publics. How was the experience. It's this good?
Speaker 1: Should you think this is a way to go? And
Speaker 1: it was one hundred percent positive. So we expanded it
Speaker 1: and then folks liked it and I can tell you
Speaker 1: if you look at a place like Palm Beach County,
Speaker 1: they were kind of struggling at first in terms of
Speaker 1: the senior numbers. I went, I met with the county mayor,
Speaker 1: I met with the administrator, I met with all the
Speaker 1: folks of Palm Beach County, and I said, here's some
Speaker 1: of the options. We can do more drive through sites,
Speaker 1: we can get more to hospitals, we can do the publics,
Speaker 1: we can do this. They calculated that ninety percent of
Speaker 1: their seniors live within a mile and a half of
Speaker 1: a public's and they said, we think that would be
Speaker 1: the easiest thing for our residents. So we did that
Speaker 1: and what ended up happening was yet sixty five publics
Speaker 1: in Palm Beach. Palm Beach is one of the biggest counties,
Speaker 1: one of the most elderly counties. We've done on seventy
Speaker 1: five percent of the seniors in Palm Beach, and the
Speaker 1: reason is because you had the strong retail footprint. So
Speaker 1: our way has been multifaceted. It has worked, and we're
Speaker 1: also now very much expanding CBS and Walgreens now that
Speaker 1: they've completed the long term care mission. Yes, and it's wrong.
Speaker 1: It's wrong it's a fake narrative. I just disabused you
Speaker 1: of the narrative, and you don't care about the facts,
Speaker 1: because obviously I laid it out for you in a
Speaker 1: way that is irrefutable, and so it's clearly not no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you're wrong, You're wrong, all right? Joining us now is
Speaker 1: the Democratic mayor of Palm Beach County. Mayor Dave Kerner
Speaker 1: is with us. Not only did he call out sixty
Speaker 1: Minutes and the segment, but he issued a powerful statement
Speaker 1: said he felt compelled to issue that the report he
Speaker 1: was not just based on bad information, it was intentionally false.
Speaker 1: And I know this because I offered to provide my
Speaker 1: insight into Palm Beach Counties vaccination efforts, and sixty Minutes declined.
Speaker 1: They know that the governor came to Palm Beach, met
Speaker 1: with me, met with a county administrator. We asked to
Speaker 1: expand the state's partnership with publics to Palm Beach County,
Speaker 1: and they worked together. Everyone always says if we want bipartisanship,
Speaker 1: well you actually have it here for the betterment of
Speaker 1: people in Palm Beach County. Mister Mayor, how are you, sir,
Speaker 1: I'm very well thank you for having me on the show,
Speaker 1: and palm each county is better both for the governor's
Speaker 1: assistants and leadership, and particularly with the public distribution plan
Speaker 1: and retail footprint. And I felt very compelled to correct
Speaker 1: the record despite my efforts to go on camera with
Speaker 1: sixty minutes to walk us through what First of all,
Speaker 1: walk us through what happened with sixty minutes. Then let's
Speaker 1: work our way back and the partnership that you developed
Speaker 1: with a governor. All Right, you're a Democrat, he's a Republican.
Speaker 1: But saving lives to me, isn't It's not about R
Speaker 1: and D. It's about life and death for sure. I mean,
Speaker 1: I come, I used to be a police officer, so
Speaker 1: I have that mentality where he's our chief executive. We
Speaker 1: have a pandemic in front of us. I don't have
Speaker 1: to agree with everything that he wants to do or
Speaker 1: every vision that he has, but I do have a
Speaker 1: corresponsibility to work effectively with a governor. And I've achieved
Speaker 1: that throughout the entire process, and it's been reciprocated. And
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to say that, even though it's an
Speaker 1: unpopular thing to say, but working ourselves backwards with the
Speaker 1: sixty Minutes To answer your question directly, you know, I
Speaker 1: had heard for several weeks that sixty Minutes was doing
Speaker 1: a story down here on the decision to bring public
Speaker 1: to Palmage County, which is a decision that I, as
Speaker 1: a county mayor, was very much involved with and that
Speaker 1: I met with a governor personally. I met with the
Speaker 1: county ministrator. We looked at the statistics in data, and
Speaker 1: we decided this would be a great initial rollout for
Speaker 1: twenty thousand guaranteed vaccinations per week. We have the highest
Speaker 1: per capita demographic of sixty five plus seniors in this
Speaker 1: community out of any county in the state of Florida,
Speaker 1: and we continue to lead all Metro County's a million
Speaker 1: point five or a million above in terms of elderly
Speaker 1: residents vaccinated, where I think seventy six percent. I'm very
Speaker 1: proud of that, and publics play to me. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's anybody in the country that I've heard and
Speaker 1: I have not researched, that that's higher than that. Well,
Speaker 1: we've worked diligently, and we've worked as a team, and
Speaker 1: the credit doesn't go just to the governor or to
Speaker 1: the cunt of government. It really goes to the seniors
Speaker 1: that are taking their lives and their futures into their
Speaker 1: own hands and coming out to the very broad and
Speaker 1: diverse ways of getting vaccinated in this wonderful county where
Speaker 1: I've been born and raised. But you know, I had
Speaker 1: heard about sixty Minutes coming down here, and I had
Speaker 1: heard about all these people that weren't part of the
Speaker 1: decision making process being interviewed. And to Commission McKinley's credit,
Speaker 1: who's been involved in this, she's a colleague of mine.
Speaker 1: Once we realized that there was a hole in the doughnut,
Speaker 1: and I can't guarantee perfection and everything that we do.
Speaker 1: The moment she realized that she brought it to the
Speaker 1: boards attention, we corrected it, and low of behold, we
Speaker 1: have a very effective system of distribution here. But what
Speaker 1: I started to learn was that I was never going
Speaker 1: to get a phone call from sixty Minutes. So I
Speaker 1: actually called the Governor's an office and said, Hey, is
Speaker 1: there a point of contact that I can speak with?
Speaker 1: And they gave me that phone number, and I reached
Speaker 1: out to sixty Minutes and spoke with the producer and
Speaker 1: I went on record for forty five minutes, and I
Speaker 1: told them that the decision to bring public to this county.
Speaker 1: If you need to pick somebody and you want to
Speaker 1: blame someone, that would be me. I'm proud of the decision.
Speaker 1: But I made that decision along with the county administrator,
Speaker 1: and it was a great decision and continues to be
Speaker 1: a great decision. But it imploded the entire narrative that
Speaker 1: the governor forced publics down to the people Palmi's County.
Speaker 1: And I can't allow that narrative to continue. Whether I'm
Speaker 1: a Democrat, you know, you could have just been quiet.
Speaker 1: You could have just played politics. You could have just said, well,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the governor's problem. That's not my problem.
Speaker 1: But the fact that you felt compelled to do it,
Speaker 1: knowing you may even I guess, get some heat from
Speaker 1: some Democrats. But but this is such an important moment
Speaker 1: that happened here. So walkester. So the governor gets in
Speaker 1: contact with you, meets with you, meets with other officials
Speaker 1: in Palm Beach County, and and at that meeting, you're
Speaker 1: all you're throwing around a list of options, and you
Speaker 1: settled on publics, which, by the way is genius to
Speaker 1: me because I know how popular publics is down in Florida,
Speaker 1: Georgia and other places. Just like I thought it was
Speaker 1: a good idea to have you know, Walgreens and CBS
Speaker 1: and write eight and all these these drug stores literally
Speaker 1: going into the elderly communities those you know, uh that
Speaker 1: exist all throughout Florida. I thought that was a brilliant
Speaker 1: decision too. So go through the meeting, you have these options,
Speaker 1: and you made the decision on publics. Yes, I made
Speaker 1: the decision. The county administrator made the decision. We notified
Speaker 1: the board. We were guaranteed twenty thousand vaccinations per month.
Speaker 1: We ended up asking for permission to carve out a
Speaker 1: portion of that about four thousand per month for our
Speaker 1: own discretion, so that we could hit those communities of
Speaker 1: color or a low socio economic status, to make sure
Speaker 1: that we were the only portioned This county is all
Speaker 1: that you were sixty thousand plus, and you're right, it
Speaker 1: is life and depth when you're that age and older
Speaker 1: to get this vaccine. And did I do it perfectly?
Speaker 1: Did the county do it perfectly? There's no perfection or
Speaker 1: metric for perfection, but the governor or. The governor was
Speaker 1: with us every step of the way, and he presented
Speaker 1: us with a host of options, and we thought, just
Speaker 1: like you said, hey, system seven vertically integrated points of distribution,
Speaker 1: from staffing, from from supply to customers that are familiar
Speaker 1: and comfortable going there, to in house pharmacies. We mapped
Speaker 1: it out in our emergency Operations center and we found that,
Speaker 1: you know, unfortually, I would say that ninety ninety five
Speaker 1: people sixty five plus lived within a mile and a
Speaker 1: half of a public So this was a way to
Speaker 1: get sixty seven sykes up in an instant. And then
Speaker 1: you know, several days later we did realize the republics
Speaker 1: in Belglade, and Commission McKinley fought very forcefully to make
Speaker 1: sure that that was cured in The Governor even came
Speaker 1: down personally to her district and did a special thing
Speaker 1: with Ann Koombolden. And you know, you look at where
Speaker 1: we're at now in April, and I'm very proud of
Speaker 1: where we're at. So when you know, when the sixty
Speaker 1: minutes teached, you said you kind of hinted at it,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't reflect poorly on my county where I've
Speaker 1: been born and raised where a lot of people have
Speaker 1: worked and suffered through this pandemic like everybody else, but
Speaker 1: have put their other foot in front of their other
Speaker 1: foot every day. But it also reflected poorly on Governor
Speaker 1: to Santis, who I don't work for, but I certainly
Speaker 1: work with him, and I think that I call balls
Speaker 1: and strikes. And for them to make these implications, it
Speaker 1: may not be popular, it may not be helpful for
Speaker 1: my future, but I had to defend my county and
Speaker 1: I had to defend the chief executive of our state
Speaker 1: because I'm set that the media could be that agenda driven.
Speaker 1: Because what you're saying, as they consciously lie to the
Speaker 1: American people, you don't have to use my words, I'll
Speaker 1: use them. This. This was propaganda, This was a lie,
Speaker 1: This was misinformation. This was a political hit shop. And
Speaker 1: unfortunately I don't do your words, but those are your words.
Speaker 1: And by the way, Hannity, when you moved to Florida,
Speaker 1: you might want to pick another county. Police. It's expensive here.
Speaker 1: Now we're in a good place. He can I know
Speaker 1: it's expensive down there. Public health. Plus I read that
Speaker 1: what does the average home price increase year over year?
Speaker 1: In Palm Beach County. I don't know the historical record
Speaker 1: year over year. I do know that valuation in our
Speaker 1: county from prior to COVID or unofficially twenty to which
Speaker 1: presented a whole host of public policy issues that the
Speaker 1: Border County Commissions will have to contend with because it
Speaker 1: was already expensive enough to live through. The average home
Speaker 1: price in this county was three hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: prior to the pandemic, and so it'll go up proportionately,
Speaker 1: you know, keeps going up here, and that's going to
Speaker 1: present a host of issues for the everyday working American.
Speaker 1: All Right, quick break back on the other side with
Speaker 1: the Mayor of Palm Beach County, Dave Kerner, and we'll
Speaker 1: get to your calls. Final half hour Sean Hannity Show,
Speaker 1: Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern Fox News. Please set your DVR.
Speaker 1: We got a great show tonight. As we continue, the
Speaker 1: mayor of Palm Beach County, who's saying flat out that
Speaker 1: sixty minutes not only was it intentionally false, but they
Speaker 1: just refused to air the truth about Governor desandis beyond
Speaker 1: a hit job. They knew it was a hit job.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. We continue with the mayor of Palm Beach County,
Speaker 1: Dave Kerner. So I have two friends of mine. You
Speaker 1: might be interested, mister Maynor. No, there will be your
Speaker 1: constituents in the near future. They both purchased homes down there,
Speaker 1: and in one case there was ten people bidding on
Speaker 1: the one home, and in the other case they literally
Speaker 1: got it like the second went on the market. And
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how hot that real estate market is
Speaker 1: down especially in your county, Palm Beach County, but other
Speaker 1: parts of Florida as well. It's insane. And you know,
Speaker 1: when you look at a state like New York, I
Speaker 1: don't know what your tax philosophy is, but they're about
Speaker 1: to raise taxes over four billion dollars. It'll be the
Speaker 1: highest tax state to now, surpassing California. Then you look
Speaker 1: at what's happening nationally with taxes going up. Then you
Speaker 1: look at okay, new Green Deal, you know, spending resulting
Speaker 1: in less energy production here at home. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about those decisions? You know, I'm not really going
Speaker 1: to comment on that. I'm just a county sometimes player
Speaker 1: that needs to make sure that we get to this
Speaker 1: pandemic safely, and you a way that honors a dignity
Speaker 1: and respect of everyone, regardless of the race, f missity
Speaker 1: creat color. And that's what we're doing. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: focused on. M I that home prices are rising, that
Speaker 1: it's a popular place to live. It has it's good
Speaker 1: and bad sides about that, because it's certainly become an
Speaker 1: expensive to live down here. But we don't have a
Speaker 1: an income tax in Florida, and that's in our constitution.
Speaker 1: But you know, we have relatively low property taxes. We
Speaker 1: don't have the most robust state government as a result.
Speaker 1: But I think that Governor DeSantis is demonstrated, with the
Speaker 1: resources that he has and has had available to him,
Speaker 1: that there was a way to respond to this pandemic
Speaker 1: effectively as a unit of government. And it's and I've
Speaker 1: enjoyed working with them, and I'm not afraid to say
Speaker 1: that interesting everybody says they want bipartisanship. You have a
Speaker 1: moment of it here, and you know, you'd probably be
Speaker 1: widely panned by people, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: putting the lives of people in your community above politics
Speaker 1: is admirable and it's sad to even say that we
Speaker 1: it's sad to even have to say that it should
Speaker 1: be standard. It's not standard. It's an exception. Mayor Dave Kerner,
Speaker 1: Palm Beach County, congratulations, are good for you to take
Speaker 1: a bow for standing up for just simple truth. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much for having me on the show, and
Speaker 1: thank you for the kind word. Sir, I'll ask you again,
Speaker 1: will he acknowledge that there's a crisis. Well, first, the
Speaker 1: president and this administration's focus is on digging out of
Speaker 1: the dismantled and inhumane immigration approach of the last administration.
Speaker 1: You say that's not a crisis. Well, I think what
Speaker 1: Ambassador Jacobson and Secretary Mayorcas were conveying and what I've
Speaker 1: conveyed is it doesn't matter what you call it. It
Speaker 1: is an enormous challenge. We don't feel the need to
Speaker 1: play games with what it's called a crisis of the work. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't think we need to sit here and put
Speaker 1: new labels on what we have already conveyed is challenging.
Speaker 1: Why has this administration been so reluctant to call it
Speaker 1: a crisis with a huge optic in the number of
Speaker 1: migrants being detained including thousands of children. If that doesn't
Speaker 1: qualify as a crisis, what does well, Because we think
Speaker 1: that it's most important to explain the substantive policy of
Speaker 1: what's happening one hundred and ninety four one, Sean, you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. So our
Speaker 1: friend Congressman Mo Brooks, he's in Alabama's fifth District. I've
Speaker 1: known since nineteen ninety when I was a local host
Speaker 1: at my first professional job in Huntsville, Alabama, and Mo
Speaker 1: Brooks was the Madison County, Alabama district attorney at the time,
Speaker 1: and he often filled in for me. Well, I shouldn't
Speaker 1: say often, because I didn't get much vacation time. I
Speaker 1: think I had a maximum of two weeks a year.
Speaker 1: Congressman Mobrooks of Alabama's fifth District is here now looking
Speaker 1: to run for the United States Senate. Sir, how are you.
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Sean. Good to be able to speak
Speaker 1: with you again. I mean, when you think about that,
Speaker 1: that's I mean, we're talking about thirty years now that
Speaker 1: we've known each other. You're the DA and you used
Speaker 1: to fill in and host my radio show. I think
Speaker 1: for a period didn't you even host a show yourself. Well,
Speaker 1: I was there for a couple of weeks in between
Speaker 1: the fellow who before you and then when you came in,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I'll never forget how youthful you were
Speaker 1: when you first started working at w V and N
Speaker 1: in the Tennessee Valley of Alabama. Before you are sharp
Speaker 1: as attack. Yeah, you know. I'd like to ask people
Speaker 1: questions if they heard me back in the day, as
Speaker 1: we call it, whether or not they think I've changed much.
Speaker 1: Do you think I've changed much in terms of my
Speaker 1: political views, sir? I'd like to think I've been sued
Speaker 1: as a broadcaster a little bit. But putting that aside,
Speaker 1: do you think that my philosophy has changed much? Not
Speaker 1: one bit? And that's because the truths are perpetual. There's
Speaker 1: no reason to change the foundational principles that have combined
Speaker 1: to make America the greatest national world history. Unfortunately, a
Speaker 1: lot of people take for granted that every other place
Speaker 1: in the world is like we are in America, and
Speaker 1: it just ain't so. So No, I'm very appreciative that
Speaker 1: you've stuck to your guns, that you've stuck to your
Speaker 1: belief system, and it is the belief system that has
Speaker 1: distinguished us from all other countries on the planet. I
Speaker 1: say conservatism is very easy, and i'm what I've been
Speaker 1: saying is that candidates for public office need to be
Speaker 1: able to sum it up at about a minute. And
Speaker 1: when I sum it up, this is my take that
Speaker 1: we believe in freedom and liberty and individual responsibility. We
Speaker 1: believe that this country has natural rights, God given rights,
Speaker 1: not government given rights. I believe in our constitution, including
Speaker 1: the First and Second Amendment. I believe that we should
Speaker 1: have low taxes, limited government bureaucracy so people can thrive
Speaker 1: in a business atmosphere in a competitive international marketplace. I
Speaker 1: think we should have law and order so every community,
Speaker 1: every city is safe and secure. I think we need
Speaker 1: school choice for kids. We spend more per capitave per
Speaker 1: child than any other country in the world with the
Speaker 1: worst results. I want our borders secure. I want to
Speaker 1: be energy independent for national security reasons and it is
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of the world's economy. I want constitutionalists on
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. I want free and fair trade. And
Speaker 1: I believe in peace through strength, and that means the meanest, toughest,
Speaker 1: kick ass military on the face of the earth. Am
Speaker 1: I'm missing much. I think you've just about covered it.
Speaker 1: If I were to add two more, we believe in
Speaker 1: our being a republic, and of course the underpinning of
Speaker 1: any republic is having honest and accurate elections that the
Speaker 1: people have trust in. And I would also add a
Speaker 1: generic category of moral values. I believe that moral values
Speaker 1: are the compass that guide us to do the right thing,
Speaker 1: but the power that we as a people in America
Speaker 1: and joy rather than the wrong thing. And we don't
Speaker 1: always get it right, but I believe that we're motivated
Speaker 1: by a true desire to do the right thing for
Speaker 1: ourselves and the people we affect, and that distinguishes us
Speaker 1: in a very large way from almost every other great
Speaker 1: power in world history. I don't think there's been a country,
Speaker 1: as Barry Farber used to say, that it's accumulated more
Speaker 1: power than this country, abused it less, and used it more.
Speaker 1: I add to the advancement of the human condition. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're not a perfect country, but we have the means
Speaker 1: to become, through that republic and that process and that constitution,
Speaker 1: a more perfect union. Every single day, you've been talking
Speaker 1: a lot about what is an utter catastrophe down at
Speaker 1: the border and I'm watching all of this unfold, and
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of a pandemic. I see Biden
Speaker 1: building cages for kids again like they did in a
Speaker 1: Obama Biden administration. I see in the middle of a pandemic.
Speaker 1: We have a high rate of COVID testing positivity down there.
Speaker 1: We see that other states now that these unaccompanied miners
Speaker 1: are being shipped out and bringing their COVID with them
Speaker 1: to other states. It's inexplicable to me that this could happen,
Speaker 1: and that Joe Biden caused the entire thing by eliminating
Speaker 1: the State of Mexico policies and eliminating border wall construction
Speaker 1: and bringing back catch and release. It's insanity to me. Well,
Speaker 1: it's almost non stop with the damage that the socialists
Speaker 1: are trying to do to American I'm going to make
Speaker 1: a rather candid statement. It will probably get some people
Speaker 1: mad at me, but it's what I believe. There is
Speaker 1: literally blood on the hands of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, all the other socialist Democrats in Washington, DC,
Speaker 1: and as the cherry on top, we ought to had
Speaker 1: a bunch of these open border Republicans. And when I
Speaker 1: say blood on their hands, what am I talking about?
Speaker 1: Each year, according to federal crime data, roughly two thousand
Speaker 1: Americans are dead at the hands of illegal aliens killed
Speaker 1: on American soil, and they would be alive but for
Speaker 1: our poorest southern border. On top of that, you have
Speaker 1: another thirty thousand who die from overdoses on deadly narcotics
Speaker 1: that are smuggled across our poorest southern border. And I'm
Speaker 1: not even touching yet on the adverse economic consequences to
Speaker 1: struggling American families of the huge surge in the labor
Speaker 1: supply coupled with the jobs that are taken from American
Speaker 1: families that they no longer can compete for again because
Speaker 1: of the ten plus million illegal aliens who are in
Speaker 1: our country working and the net tax effect. And so
Speaker 1: you have to wonder, with all the things that you've itemized,
Speaker 1: with the things I just itemized, why are the socialist
Speaker 1: Democrats doing what they're doing. And I'm gonna ask you this,
Speaker 1: if one of these if somebody crosses the border illegally.
Speaker 1: And You're right about the opioid crisis. We've been talking
Speaker 1: a lot about it because as all of the resources
Speaker 1: now are literally being drained into taking care of these
Speaker 1: unaccompanied miners that Joe Biden pretty much invited in and
Speaker 1: is letting everybody in and then tried to put a
Speaker 1: gag order on the media and gag order on border
Speaker 1: patrol officers from telling the truth. But if anybody gets
Speaker 1: COVID and dies from COVID, wouldn't they be responsible for that?
Speaker 1: One would think the disease issue is much harder to
Speaker 1: quantify and itemize because it is so difficult to prove
Speaker 1: cause and effect. Someone might catch COVID in the United States,
Speaker 1: it might be an American citizen. They may die from it,
Speaker 1: but out of all the people that they've met with,
Speaker 1: how do you track it down to an illegal alien?
Speaker 1: That's the challenging part. We know that it's happening, but
Speaker 1: we don't know how bad the problem is. Now some
Speaker 1: would argue that one loss American life is enough to
Speaker 1: justify stronger border security, but obviously that is not the
Speaker 1: case with the socialist Democrats who are running Washington, DC,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, the reason they are impervious to these
Speaker 1: public policy considerations as they see a pot of gold
Speaker 1: at the end of the rainbow, the illegal aliens getting amnesty,
Speaker 1: getting citizenship, succumbing to the wily ways of the Democrat
Speaker 1: arguments and elections, becoming a block vote for Democrats, there
Speaker 1: by perpetuating the power of Democrats who control Washington DC.
Speaker 1: So it's all a power grab on the part of
Speaker 1: the socialist Democrats, and that to a very large degree,
Speaker 1: is why they ignore ignore the adverse effects of these
Speaker 1: illegal aliens. Are so many American citizens. It's something of
Speaker 1: great value that they offer in the hopes that generations
Speaker 1: of people that enter the country and are granted amnesty,
Speaker 1: that they will be rewarded at the ballot box. And
Speaker 1: it's really sad that that is what their motivation is.
Speaker 1: I'm for immigration, I'm for legal immigration. We have laws
Speaker 1: for a reason. You got to protect you first step
Speaker 1: if you want to be an American is respect our
Speaker 1: laws of sovereignty and our borders. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: too much to ask, are you running for Senate, sir?
Speaker 1: I am running for the United States Senate based primarily
Speaker 1: on the reasons that you enunciated early on about the
Speaker 1: foundational principles that have combined collectively to make us the
Speaker 1: greatest nation world history. There was in a single public
Speaker 1: policy position that I disagreed with you on. I am
Speaker 1: a well, I'm in the lead in the state of
Speaker 1: Alabama in that Senate seat, although my challenge is going
Speaker 1: to be expanding on that lead in Alabama, while my
Speaker 1: opponent's challenge is going to be cutting into it and
Speaker 1: try to eliminate it. If any of your listeners want
Speaker 1: to help, please go to Mobrooks dot com. Pretty easy
Speaker 1: to remember, by the way. So the last time when
Speaker 1: I was down there, remember the big controversy was this
Speaker 1: place at the at the Limestone County Madison County borderline
Speaker 1: was a place called Jimmy's Lounge. To remember that place.
Speaker 1: Is that place still in existence? I am aware of
Speaker 1: it my reputation, but I've never visited it. And I
Speaker 1: did visit it and did a show from there, so
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what that says about me.
Speaker 1: But that's back in the day. Is it still in
Speaker 1: existence or is it gone? If I had to guess,
Speaker 1: I would say it's probably gone, but it may still
Speaker 1: be there. I don't know, Sean, You'd have to look
Speaker 1: that one up in mind. You know the things you
Speaker 1: do when you start out at local radio U, why
Speaker 1: don't you go cover the controversy down there. I'm like what,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, if you're insisting anyway, Mobrooks, We're going
Speaker 1: to be following the race very closely down there. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for being one us. Thank you, Sean,
Speaker 1: and have a blessed day and continue to lead the
Speaker 1: charge helping American citizens understand right and what's wrong every day.
Speaker 1: To have this microphone as an honor and I'd never
Speaker 1: forget it. Thank you, sir. Eight hundred and nine four one. Sean.
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program. Let
Speaker 1: us say hello to Sophia is out in the United
Speaker 1: Socialist Utopia of California. Comrade Sophia, how are you glad
Speaker 1: you called hi? Thank you? M sorry. I won't make
Speaker 1: it long, but I just want to say I'm Mexican.
Speaker 1: Came to America when I was thirteen, lived in another country,
Speaker 1: and I just I feel sad for what's happening, not
Speaker 1: just in California but in the US and people are
Speaker 1: losing respect for our country. I call it my country
Speaker 1: because I became an American citizen, and for me, it
Speaker 1: makes me sad because I have lived, you know, in
Speaker 1: a country where the is no power for you as
Speaker 1: a person. And I was to come here and go
Speaker 1: to college. My sister and I both graduated, and now
Speaker 1: that I know what I know, it makes me really
Speaker 1: sad for people to categorize me or my sister or
Speaker 1: my family as you know, democrats, that we're not democrats,
Speaker 1: we're not Republicans, because we really want to succeed, and
Speaker 1: we wanted to succeed in this country. So my point
Speaker 1: being is if we let or if we continue doing
Speaker 1: what we're doing, we'll definitely have, you know, a lost country.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think I think your observation, Sophia
Speaker 1: dead on accurate, and I appreciate the call and your
Speaker 1: kind words and you being a part of our family.
Speaker 1: We're glad you're here, and you know you went through
Speaker 1: the process. You you are a legal citizen and we're
Speaker 1: lucky to have you. I appreciate the call. One of
Speaker 1: the things I've observed is over the course of my life,
Speaker 1: I've had opportunities to meet people that come from repressive regimes,
Speaker 1: from the former Soviet Union, from the former Eastern Bloc countries,
Speaker 1: places that don't have liberty or freedom. I met people
Speaker 1: from Cuba. I've met people from you know, under repressive
Speaker 1: regimes in Nicaragua and El Salvador and poverty and all
Speaker 1: over the world, and it seems that they appreciate the
Speaker 1: blessings of liberty, sometimes sometimes more than we do, because
Speaker 1: they know what they know where oppression and authoritarianism and
Speaker 1: stateism leads, and they don't they see it happening here,
Speaker 1: and they desperately don't want it to happen here. And
Speaker 1: you see that it translates oftentimes that they look at
Speaker 1: this new this new gift of freedom and opportunity to
Speaker 1: bring their God given gifts to fruition, and and they
Speaker 1: just get They just roll up their sleeves and they
Speaker 1: work their asses off and they succeed and grateful and
Speaker 1: thankful and appreciative that they have this opportunity that they
Speaker 1: didn't have where they were. It's pretty amazing to watch
Speaker 1: that unfold, and I've seen it many times. That's going
Speaker 1: to wrap things up at today A busy Hannity tonight
Speaker 1: nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel News you won't
Speaker 1: get from the mob. Obviously, we're following the situation of
Speaker 1: the utter complete hypocrisy and breakdown in truth as it
Speaker 1: relates to voting laws, and the new voting law in Georgia,
Speaker 1: especially compared to let's say, Colorado and Delaware in New York,
Speaker 1: which are far more restrictive. We'll tell you the truth.
Speaker 1: The media won't tell you, Ted Cruz. He'll be checking
Speaker 1: in with us Senator Lindsey Graham and Kaylee Mcinanny, Dan Bongino,
Speaker 1: much much more. We hope you'll say you. Dvart nine
Speaker 1: Eastern Hannity Tonight, Fox News, see you tonight, back here tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us,
